You have to make sure the zip is named exactly PG86IMG.zip, and on the root of your sdcard.
Download this file. Do not rename it at all. Just download and put it on the root of your sd card. (Not in a folder) Reboot into your bootloader, (Vol. down + Power button) and let it scan for the image. Once it finds it select yes by pressing the Vol. up button. Let it do its thing and rebbot after it says update is complete.
This is Newest version of TWRP.
I'll try it later when I have my brothers phone. But I remember when I tried that last night that it was scanning a file that was PG86DIAG.zip even when I had the PG86IMG.zip on the sd card

Jay's instructions and file will work, without a doubt. No worries, just hit it up.
I had the same problem, it wouldn't install cwm. I tried dling the file and adding to SD root directory of phone as jay suggests but when I reboot into bootloader it goes through the zips real quickly saying all are either invalid or failed and then it says
Parsing...[SD ZIP]
[1] RECOVERY
up to update
down to cancel
any thoughts on how to get past this?

That's when you hit up to update and it will install the recovery.
You can also flash the recovery from fastboot.
Connect the phone your computer, ensure USB Debugging mode is on. Download and save recovery-twrp-shooter-1.0.0.img to the Android SDK platform-tools folder, open a command prompt here and run
Code:
adb reboot bootloader
Once the device is stable in FastbootUSB mode run
Code:
fastboot flash recovery recovery-twrp-shooter-1.0.0.img
I got to the part where i can be in fastboot usb but when i try to run the second command it says that it is not a recognizable command, any help again would be appreciated

What's the exact error you're getting. The second command depends on you having the file in the same directory as fastboot (or named differently), if it's not in the same directory then you have to type out the full path to the file.
ok i got to the part where it was able to write recovery in the cmd window, but when i go from usbfastboot to bootloader on the phone it still scans the zips/images and says wrong zip or invalid img and asks to update again. am i missing something? these are the files on my sd card in the root directory on my phone
PG86IMG(1).zip
PG86IMG.zip
recovery-clockwork-4.0.1.5-shooter.img
su-2.3.1-bin-signed.zip
su-2.3.6.3-efgh-sighned(1).zip
If you have a working recovery, successful flash from cmd via fastboot, then delete the PG86IMG.zip files from your sdcard.
I figured out the issue. I forgot to delete the PG86IMG file from the sd card after i flashed it. was able to get into recovery after that. thanks for all the help guys
I flashed without clockwork. I didn't like it on the OG evo so I planed on using TWRP for my phone.
Either way thought he only problem I had was the beta code for Revolutionary.
Worked like a charm. Thanks Man!

Hey guys Just wanted to give a quick TUT to the Noobs...
THIS IS THE BETA VERSION I DID NOT CREATE IT ALL CREDIT GOES TO TEAM Revolutionary...
I AM NOT RESPONSIBLE FOR ANYTHING THAT HAPPENES TO YOUR PHONE...

3.) Boot into you phone like normal and go to Settings>Applications>Development>And check USB Debugging...Make sure your phone is on charge only.
4.) Extract the downloaded ZIP to a folder (DONT RUN IT FROM THE ZIP) and run the file "revolutionary"
5.) It will ask you for a beta key (you should he gotten from the site) enter it and hit enter.
6.) It will get you S-Off and root.
OPTIONAL FLASH TWRP
1.) Download TWRP from their thread.
2.) Plug in you phone to your pc and make sure you have fastboot drivers and your phone is in fastboot mode
2* to put your phone is fastboot mode remove the battery>put it in and hold down volume down and powerbutton>once in bootloader use the volume rockers to go to fastboot> hit the power button...done!
3.) Once you have your usb plugged in and the .img downloaded open CMD
4.) Navigate to your sdk/tools path not your platform-tools/ (since thats where fastboot is)
5.) (make sure the recovery-twrp-shooter-1.0.0.img is in the sdk/tools/ folder) Type in
Code:
fastboot flash_image recovery recovery-twrp-shooter-1.0.0.img
Your command should look like this
Code:
C:\sdk\tools>fastboot flash recovery C:\Users\abe\Desktop\recovery-twrp-shooter-1.0.0.img
just change
Code:
C:\Users\abe\Desktop\recovery-twrp-shooter-
1.0.0.img
(drag and drop the file into the cmd window to choose its position and walllah!!)
Rooting Proccess...
1.) Download this file http://goo-inside.me/superuser/su-2.3.6.3-efgh-signed.zip
2.) Put the downloaded file on your sdcard
3.) Boot to TWRP
4.) Hit install a .ZIP
5.) Choose the file and BOOM you got root
Hits thanks if that helped!! PCE GUYS IM GOING TO COOK UP SOME ROMS

I went through the steps and now phone is off and wont turn on. When connected QHSUSB_DLOAD in device manager.
Do we need to have the QHSUSB_DLOAD drivers for this exploit to work?
Thanks ahead of time.
EDIT: Did a battery pull and started over from begining. We now have S-Off!!!!! Failed to install CWM but I will install TWRP
Does Amon Recovery work? If so, can we get instructions for that? If not, instructions for CWM.
Thanks,
Mike
Oh okay, I failed.
When I did that it just came up with a list of commands
If your phone wont turn on you probably dont have your fastboot drivers installed. Do that first
AS for amon RA recovery that hasent been built for the shooter yet. If you want cmw just keep running the revolutionary application and it will ask if you want it to flash CMW

So that means that you should opt out of the CWM install and install TWRP after doing s-off? Would be nice if we had full instructions: including what to select/install during the revolutionary exe.

beta key
I have tried to enter in the beta key oh about 20 time but it keeps saying invalid press almost and key to abort anyone else having this problem ?
I used revalutionary to root and it worked great but I tried to use Rom Manager to load a rom and since it made me install CWM Recovery. I now do not have a recovery. when in bootloader it will scan for PG86IMG.zip but it is scanning for PC86IAG.zip. Can some help me fix this.

Screw CWM and ROM manager...take the extra 20 seconds it takes and just boot to recovery by hand. flash TWRP and be done with it.
EDIT: Sorry, here, http://www.techerrata.com/dl.php?path=27&file=PG86IMG-twrp-shooter-1.0.1.zip download that, unzip it and then download fastboot from here: http://developer.htc.com/adp.html#s2 then type "fastboot flash recovery path/to/recovery-twrp-shooter-1.0.0.img" , make sure all of these files are in the same directory....oh yeah, with no quotes.
I must be stupid
I cant get fastboot to work. Does it work on win7 64bit comp? I put the phone in fastboot usb mode and go to the comp and try to run fastboot but all it does is flashes for like a mil sec and does nothing.

You've gotta go to the command prompt....
So, first download and unzip all of the files into a folder called "recovery" (no quotes)....
or click start, click run, type "cmd" then hit enter. then type "cd Desktop/recovery" (no quotes).... then type in the fastboot command I gave you above.
ok, well thank you soooo much for your help, but I still cant get tis to work.
1 How do I get my comp to now to flash the comand to my phone, do i have the phone in charge, disc drive or go into fastboot?
2. the comand you told me to type into the cmd was 1.0.0.IMG BUT the file is 1.1.0.zip
I had a friend that is very smart with cmd promp and he was confused with how running this on the computer -- to get it to the phone.
all we got was an error that it could not find the path
Just follow the guide here
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1192643
Basically download a recovery rename it to PC86IAG.zip power on using vol down and power the recovery will flash and then reboot and delete PC86IAG.zip.
Or turn off quickboot settings/power uncheck quickboot and then reboot your phone and I bet you will have your CWM recovery, but you need to do the above or a battery pull to do a real restart.

Dont bother with all that cmd prompt crap you dont need to follow what I said. Easiest way is the battery pull then reboot to recovery.

Download that file. (it's TWRP recovery). Rename it to PG86IMG.zip. (if you're on windows, remember that the '.zip' extension won't show, and is already there. So just rename it PG86IMG). Then place the file on the main directory of your sd card. Shut your phone off, and boot into the bootloader. It will scan and find the PG86IMG.zip, then ask you to update. Press volume up to say yes. It will finish. Then reboot. Then shut phone off and boot back to bootloader. Select the 'recovery' option from the bootloader menu. You should then successfully boot into recovery. That's all you should need to do. And as daneurysm said, forget about Rom manager, and do your wiping and flashing manually, from the recovery menu. You'll have less troubles that way.
EDIT: After you get recovery working, flash this http://api.viglink.com/api/click?fo...echerrata.com/toastcfh/Shoot...d-unsigned.zip, and then you'll be fully rooted. At that point, I suggest downloading "quickboot" app, and you can use that to boot to recovery or bootloader much quicker and easier. Have fun.

Yea, your response wasnt there when I started typing mine. I started typing it, then had to get some pizza out of the oven and cut it up. Then got back to my response. Wasn't trying to steal your thunder or anything. Also, you said to rename it to PC86IAG.zip or something....does that work? I've only used PG86IMG.zip. Just curious if you made a typo, or if you can use either one.

The problem is you let clockwork flash recovery when rom manager per say doesn't support or list the Evo 3D for a recovery to flash. As the earlier poster suggested Quickboot works great
wrong

Rom manager does support Evo 3d and clockworkmod recovery. Everything is working fine or me.
I just rooted using a guide for the revolutionary method. It says the .exe is supposed to ask if you want to install clockwork after it obtains s-off & it never asked me. I do have s-off but no recovery and no superuser as well. I searched this problem and found answers. I found a zip & renamed it to PG86IMG.zip on the root of my sd or whatever & tried to install it but i don't think it worked. I've tried to go into recovery & all I get is an image of a phone & a red triangle. I have a clockwork img now but I have no idea how to install it & i tried to go to my sdk but all my laptop says it has is sdk manager & it won't let me enter any commands. I've been reading for hours & I'm stuck. Any help would be appreciated if anyone knows & thanks
Download this file and rename it PG86IMG.zip and place on the root of your sdcard. Its twrp recovery, which I prefer to cwm
http://db.tt/aShyeKO9
Now turn off phone and boot into the hboot and wait for it to check for update files and follow instructions to install. I think its up for yes and down for no, and wait for it to install. Then reboot and delete the file from your SD card. You should be able to boot into recovery now. Then flash this fixed su found in the twrp recovery thread.

Make sure you don't have the file named as PG86IMG.zip.zip
If you have file extensions turned off in Windows you may have done that by accident. If you have file extensions hidden just name is PG86IMG without the .zip part.
You're also probably trying to flash a recovery on an HBOOT v1.5 phone; I've had no luck flashing it with the aformentioned .zip method try using fastboot to flash the recovery:

fairly new to rooting, so sorry if the fix is simple (hoping it is). i have a evo 4g lte, rooted it, been having issues flashing cm10, so i would reflash a previously saved working rom, no problems. i have been using twrp for recovery. so i switched to cwmr (HUGE MISTAKE)to try and see if that would somehow fix why everytime i was flashing cm10 my phone would never load past the loading screen ( android in middle of revolving circle). basically my problem is, in recovery i cant mount ext-sd or the internal sd, i can "see" my saved backups, but cant flash them, when i try it says" no files found" i played with things for a while, somehow got some old downloaded cm10 version to work, so i atleast have a working phone, but cant mount my sdcard under storage which i need done to flash twrp back into my phone. ive been reading on how to use termianl emulator to mount sd card, but cant figuer that out, any help would be muchly appreciated, sorry for long description of my issue, i just want to be able to flash twrp, reboot into recovery and restore back to a previously working rom!!! PLEASE HELP!!!!!!!!
also... cm update is constantly running, cant stop it, my pc doesnt recognize my phone, cant mount in recovery or in settings. tried copy and pasting the saved zip files using a root browser app to relocate them and trying to reboot into recovery and flashing them, that does work... please help!!!!
If you can get into terminal emulator, then just flash twrp using that. The directions are on their website.

You can update recovery image through fastboot or place the twrp update zip (rename PJ75IMG.zip) on external and boot to bootloader. As for internal being corrupt, boot into twrp and mount as USB storage and format through pc

How did you try to root?
You probably dont have a boot.img anymore... I would flash a ROM and its boot.img

I used a walk through on the unlockr website to root the rezound. I got to the part where you unlock the bootloader but then I gave up for the night and decided to do the rest the next day....but never got a chance...
Would you be able to explain how to flash a ROM and its boot.img? I'm sort of an amateur here..haha...I can get the phone into HBOOT and then get it into recovery mode...but not sure what to do from here....Thanks for trying to help, much appreciated!
Ok, i will backup... Download recovery and flash first, then use its file browser to see if you still have a ROM. Most likely you will have to flash a ROM, and when S-ON requires you to extract the boot.img and flash it manually.

Does clockworkmod work for the recovery ROM?

CWM or TWRP are custom recovery applications that allow you to flash ROM image zip files. You will need to select a ROM to flash as well. Place a copy of the recoveryXXX.img file in your fastboot directory. The next step will depend on the answer to my next question...
Did you have a certain custom ROM in mind or do you just want to be stock & rooted?

stock and rooted would be fine to me unless you have a better suggestion.... I'm very new at this...the only reason i undertook this endeavor is because my soft keys stopped working and most of those "home key" apps only work when you're rooted.
I'm sorry I'm so dumb at this...but do I install CWM to my phone or to my computer?

You can flash it to your phone, but it isn't necessary... if all you want is stock and rooted, know that I am back in front of a computer and not on limited to Tapatalk on my phone, I will walk you through it. I recommend TWRP though, I am familiar enough with CWM mod to do it on my own, but not to instruct someone (Do not type the quotation marks themselves unless I say otherwise)
1) Download the latest TWRP from this thread: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1902381
2) Unzip the file and copy the recovery.img file from the ZIP to the same directory as fastboot/adb
3) Download the ROM image from this thread: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2260154
4) Open the ZIP with 7Zip (or your favorite ZIP tool) and extract the file called boot.img and place it in the fastboot/adb directory as well (we may or may not need it, depends how this goes for you)
5) Place a copy of the ROM zip file on the root of your microSD card
6) Power up into Hboot (the bootloader) by pressing POWER+VOL DN until the screen comes up
7) Select and start FASTBOOT and connect the USB cable, there should now be a red bar over FASTBOOT USB
8) Open a command window in your fastboot directory
9) Type "fastboot devices" (without quotes) and press enter, the system should respond with your devices serial number, if it doesn't... STOP and report back here
10) Type "fastboot boot recovery.img" and wait for TWRP to start on the phone
11) Go to Wipes -> Advanced and select everything except the external SD and execute it
12) Go back to the top menu
13) Select Install and select the ROM image and flash, wait for it to let you know it's complete
14) Reboot and be patient... first boot on a new ROM can take a significant amount of time, give it a good 15 minutes.
Remember you do not have to flash ANY recovery image to your phone, this is only needed once S-OFF and returning to locked, you can always boot a recovery image via fastboot.
Enjoy

The ROM image is going to take 9 hours to download, is this the correct file?
If your internet connection is slow I guess... Its around half a gig

The easiest way would be to remove the microSD card and place it an external reader in the PC and then just copy and paste... the other way is to skip #5 , then after #10 (and before #11) use TWRP to mount the SD card by clicking MOUNT and then make sure Storage is set to "Micro SDcard" and click Mount USB Storage... the external SD card should show up on your PC as a regular removable USB drive, just copy it over that way and after it is complete press Home in the lower left corner and continue.

Update -
I skipped five because I don't have a miniSD external reader.
after I typed "fastboot devices" I think it showed the serial number (which is good i think)...it showed a series of letters and numbers and then fastboot. When i typed fastboot boot recovery recovery.img, i received cannot load recovery... any ideas?

Just got it to go through...sorry..i didn't have the recovery.img in the right folder.
Now phone has black colored tampered above pink unlocked message....
I"m still confused as to how to use the TWRP to mount the SD card?? When I download TWRP, there was only the recovery.img file in there...so I'm not sure how to open the TWRP application...
