I read that but what I don't get is it says flash like inthe root method but I didn't root the phone I got it on Craig's list already rooted. I looked in the root method but it didn't explain how to get and running on the phone it just says type in these commands

What it means is renaming the zip file to PG05IMG and flashing via hboot.
So first you rename PG05IMG_MR1_no_hboot.zip to PG05IMG.zip and flash in hboot. Then, once that is flashed and you get no errors, remove the PG05IMG.zip file from your sdcard, rename the bootloader file, PG05IMG_hboot_1.4.0000.zip to PG05IMG.zip and flash the same way you did the MR1 RUU in hboot.
Before you attempt it I'd highly advise you to read the faqs that are pinned to get familiar with all the steps, terminology and methods before you actually go a head and return to stock.
Ok, where I'm gettin stck is Wat do u mean flash in hboot? Do I have to use adb? In on ill check it out thanx.
Sent from my ADR6400L using XDA App
Na, you boot your phone into hboot by powering off your phone then turning it back on by holding down the volume down button until your phone boots into hboot. No need for adb (unless you really want to use adb) Hboot has options like Recovery, Fastboot etc... Remember though, if you have a file on your sdcard that is named PG05IMG.zip than it will continually ask you to install the file or reboot your phone.
Oh ok so then when I boot in there I install the file? Ok I get it lol thank u!

I've haven't heard of any 100% method to root GB right now, though some have reported that the Revolutionary method works, Can't say for sure it'd probably be best to root while running Froyo. Just remember to be careful because you can mess your phone up if something is done wrong.
Ok thanx for the help. One last q lol I'm rooted on2.2 now can I flash a gb Rom over Wat I'm on now or no?
Sent from my ADR6400L using XDA App
Yes as long as you have a recovery installed and since you're rooted I'm sure you do.
Sent from my ADR6400L using XDA App
Also, depending on what version of 2.2 you're running you may need to flash a compatible radio to have data working on the GB build.

I got my Evo 3d off Craigslist this morning and i love it. Traded my Evo 4g plus cash for it and i couldnt be happier. I was very successful in rooting the 4g amd never had any problems that i can think of and im hoping the same goes for the 3d.
Anyways ive been reading and reading on how to root it, get s-off so i can install a recovery and them flash a rom and kernel. Ive managed to confuse myself because it seems that if you root it one way, you may not be able tp fash custom kernels and if you use another method to root it, your more than like to have all sorts of problems.
Basicall i need help and if someone could post a link to show me best method on how to root, s-off, install custom recovery, and install a rom on the 3d it would be greatly appreciated.
I have Sprint (cdma) Android 2.3.4. Software # 2.08.651.2 hboot 1.5, baseband 0.97.10.0808

I ended up goin a different route by using the HTC unlcock bootloader and that was suscessful. I still have s on and I think I'm gonna keep it that way for now but I need to install a custom recovery.
I've tried setting up sdk all morning and can't get the cmd to recognize adbas an interal or external command. Not sure what exactly it is that in doing wrong.
I wanting to know if there'sa way to install my first custom recovery thru the bootloader in my phone without using my computer so I can flash the su.zip and get this thing rooted. Thanks
Sent from my PG86100 using xda app-developers app
The twrp recovery has a method to flash that recovery without a computer by downloading it as a zip and naming it properly. See their site for detail.
I still recommend s-off since it is easier to flash Roms and the ics Roms tend to bootloop with s-on.

I dowloaded and renamed it to PC86100IMG.zip then went to bootloader, it read the zip but said "update fail, main version older!" Have any idea as to why its saying that?

I was finally able to get adb recognized but when I type adb reboot bootloader it gets into the bootloader just fine but when i type fastboot flash recovery recovery.img it "fastboot is not recognized as an internal or external demand"
I'm using jtniggles unlock hboot 1.5, twrp recovery, root ,flash

It looks like you renamed it to the wrong thing. If you downloaded TWRP 2.2.0 zip, it must be renamed PG86IMG.zip on the root of the sd card. Then when you update in bootloader, it should work.

Hmmm... Does your phone boot? If so, you could download 4ext (see my signature) and install their app. Then it will push the custom recovery for you. I use 4ext myself anyway.
I tried using their app already and it won't let me since I don't have root

Just wanted to give you a thanks again for all your help. I was finally able to figure out why adb wasn't working. Once thaat was fixed, I installed twrp recovery and flashed Su.then did the wire trick which me VERY nervous but it worked and got S-Off after a couple tries and I then installed 4ext recovery from which I understand is the best recovery available. Thanks again!

You have to use a card reader in a computer. If these are not available to you, you might try the local library.
You should be able to go into recovery. Just reflash like Mike said and you should be good to go.
Like others have said just go into recovery and re flash your rom. There is Zero need to re lock and run an ruu, just a waste of time

1.Backstory:
I am running the latest ICS leak (4.03.605.2) I am UN-Rooted and S-Off
When I ran Controlbear everything went fine but when presented with the option to install a different hboot I declined...
Now via ADB I CANNOT push recovery... I get the remote fail error.
I've tried renaming the flashable Amon Ra recovery to PH98IMG.zip...but it doesn't "parse." Regardless I am unable to do anything.
What are my option and what do I do?
S-on and then re-off? How do I S-on? (I haven't seen a rezound thread for this)
Can I flash anything? Do I flash a different hboot? Can I flash it via the PH98IMG method?
Any help would be most appreciated!

Rename to PH98IMG and flash on hboot

Put it on your and/fastboot folder and run the following command
Fastboot flash recovery amon315.img
Then boot into recovery and flash this zip to root your rezound

Thank you both for the awesome help!
While I was waiting for you replies I thought I was going a little mad because
I had read that flashable PH98IMG.zip files could be achieved S-off/Locked...

You can't flash stuff in fastboot with a locked bootloader with the stock hboot, and s-off relocks the bootloader.
So you have to flash a hacked hboot.
Flashing via ph98img, however, still works.

So I recently switched over to the Evo 4g LTE and I'm trying to get everything set up to flash ROMs and such.
I unlocked the bootloader, rooted, and installed TWRP 2.3. I tried to flash the latest Viper 4g ROM but it wouldn't go past the boot screen so I figured I must not have something set up correctly.
Still a little iffy on the S-Off, S-On and if that has anything to do with it. I have extensive experience with flashing on Samsung phones so the switch to HTC has me a little lost. Thanks for the help.
