[Q] Help please...Nand restore shuts off phone. - HTC EVO 3D

Shoot... I've been wanting to flash my Evo 3D with Dev-ROMS that are available today, like Viper, XRON, Supra, Synergy, ShooterRewind, etc.. to test them out. However, every time I try to perform nand restore using TWRP my phone just suddenly shuts off. Currently I have 2 backup available from the point of when I first rooted my phone. I have done many ROM Flashing on my Evo 4G to the point that my co-worker calls me a flash-junkie. The point is, I'm not new to flashing ROMS with Clockwork (BTW I prefer AmonRa on 4G), but I'm new to TWRP and I don't thing the concept is any different. What am I doing wrong? Have anyone else run into this same issue? Maybe I'm a noob after all.

I'm having the same issue. I have several backups and I transfered the TWRP folder to my PC to free up space on my SD card. I just did a wipe of my phone and copied the TWRP folder back to my SD. When I try to restore the phone powers down.

Can anyone share some light on this issue?

I too ran into this problem and am looking for help on it, it scared the life out of me when it shutdown

I haven't tried a nand restore yet, you need to post this in the TWRP thread so the dev's can address this.

I couldn't post in the TWRP thread because I dont meet the post requirement for posting in the dev threads. Can somebody post this issue there?

This issue has been brought up in the TWRP thread. They said they fixed it. What version of TWRP are you all running? They also said that it works if you flash the zip via PG86IMG, and not via fastboot. Its on Post #2 on the thread.

I have the latest version flashed via zip. It doesn't reboot into recovery. It shuts off and a battery pull is needed to power back on.

You phone shuts off when you try to boot into recovery? How are you trying to get there? Volume down and power? Have you tried using adb? Try typing adb reboot recovery into a cmd prompt. Does that work?
If anything, just download version 1.0.1 of TWRP, (I have it, and that version is solid), rename it PG86IMG (dont add a .zip to the file name if youre using windows), reload that file onto your SD card, and then flash via bootloader... report back

I'm still unable to get TWRP to restore to my initial backup. Now, I am using clockwork just to play around with different ROMs. I see that TWRP just updated to 1.0.3 and I will be trying that soon. I'll reply with the outcome.

Need Help: Rooting 1.40 - 1/2 way complete :NOW COMPLETE:

I was helping a buddy root his Evo 3D today. We managed to get S-off, but couldn't get Clockwork mod to install. Later I realized that his PC was not recognizing his 3vo. Installed the HTC drivers, still same problem. Installed HTC Sync, still the same. Now I can't do anything to his phone.
To make matters worse, he can't surf online. The phone boots up just fine, and the boot loader is unlocked, but this is where we currently stand.
Try to flash TWRP:
[RECOVERY] [EVO3D] TeamWin Recovery Project
Just dl the .zip file, rename it to PG86IMG.zip, put it on the root of the SD card. Then boot into bootloader (either through adb or take battery out, put back in and hold power + vol down). Then once it loads into bootloader (not fastboot) it will auto detect the .zip and ask you to update. Press vol up to say yes, wait for it to finish.
Now you'll have a working recovery, you can flash other already rooted ROMs using the flash zip utility in the recovery or if you just want to root the default ROM you have to flash this zip file with the 'flash zip' under recovery.
Is there supposed to be a root folder, or do I just simply place the main directory.
We placed the .zip file, after it was renamed into the main directory of the 3vo. Booted into HBOOT, but nothing happened. We were not prompted, just sat there in the HBOOT screen.

Weird, for some reason, going directly through the link that you provided worked. So now we have twrp on the phone. The 3vo recognized it, updated, but now still no phone or internet use.
Do I use twrp as a recovery? If so how? Should there be a twrp app now? Or do I just go back through HBOOT and select recovery from there?

This might not help but try wiping the Dalvik Cache first. If that doesnt help, do a full wipe (factory reset/data wipe), install the ROM again and try that.
Theres no app that will show so go through HBOOT, select recovery (it will look like it is rebooting but it isn't - it is loading the recovery), then choose the backup/restore option.
Alternatively if the ROM you are using has 4 way reboot you can use that to boot directly into recovery.
EDIT: yes twrp is recovery.

There's a Su.zip Signed and Another version that's Unsigned!
Put Both versions on your SDCard and try Flashing one at a tine, see which one works?
Good Luck!
:NOW COMPLETE:
I would like to thank everyone that helped.
Switched PCs. Installed HTC drivers on 2nd PC, worked. Then went through the same root process. All done. I only with that veterans would also inform new root users that 'Error 16' will happen once the phone is rooted. All I had to do was call the provider and all was squared away.
Got one for you now. I was able to get my buddy's phone back. Seems that he can't remember his gmail PW. He swears that the PW he is giving me is correct, but he can't get in, not even through a PC. This blows, as he cannot use the market without a valid GM account. Not even getting a new GM account solves the problem. So I did some research and it seems that the original GM account associated wtih the phone cannot associate anymore, and trying to get a new GM account will not solve the issue. So if PW is incorrect, I'm assuming that the only thing that can be done is to reset the phone back to factory. My question is, doing so will cause me to update the phone to the newest version 1.50+. In doing so, no more root.
Are there any other options?
Going into setings and doing a factor reset doesn't update your phone to the 1.50 hboot and you don't lose root. Just flash a ROM that's updated to the latest ota I'm on clean ROM it runs perfect smooth as butter and don't forget to nandroid

Recovery Issues

I installed CM7 Alpha last night. I then tried to install Gapps and it got stuck at the white "HTC" bootup screen. I pulled the battery and then tried to install a backup and go back to my old rom, but same thing happened. Kept getting stuck at that same white screen.
So then I try to install TWRP. Even after renaming(PG86IMG) and installing it into the root of the SD card directory, Fastboot doesn't detect it.
It keeps saying "no image or wrong image". Any ideas? I've been trying to figure out ADB as a last resort but it's a bit over my head with that.

Are you S-OFF or just HTC unlocked? Also, how did you root? Also, I know this one is crazy, but did you have .zip at the end of PG86IMG?

I'm S-OFF still. I used revolutionary the first day it came out. I didn't have ".zip" at the end of the PG86IMG either, cause i knew it may be redundant on windows.
I've flashed a ton of sense roms with no issues, so it's kind of worrying me now that I can't figure out how to fix this.
I suspect rom manager has something to do with it. I had CWM as my recovery. While i'm in rom manager, the device list doesn't show Evo 3D as an option, and because rom manager is a system app on cm7, I can't install an updated apk that I downloaded.
So your goal is to install twrp correct? You can just fastboot flash the .img fyi. Also, the PG zip you are flashing, can you check the file extension from your file explorer just to make sure. One more thing, did you zip the TWRP img yourself or download it from the thread?

Well my goal is to get any recovery installed...cause right now I'm stuck. I'd love to be able to install one of my nandroid backups, but it's not working at all. I've tried to fastboot install the img, but the same thing keeps popping up. It basically says to an effect that "no image or wrong image found" The zip i used was direct from the xda thread.
I think I may know how I messed up. I was looking again in rom manager yesterday and since it appears to be an older version, I clicked on Evo 4g as my device type(didn't pay attention..just saw Evo). Today I realized it since Evo 3D isn't even on the list. Could this be screwing up my phone?
Yes, ROM manager, if used incorrectly, can hose you, like any root app. What I said earlier about fastboot, I'll try again. You can use fastboot not hboot to "fastboot flash recovery recovery.img" i'm almost positive that the code, i'm real tired though. Ilk check back tomorrow when my brain works. Unless someone else answers.

[Q] OTA Broke my Wifi

This OTA broke wifi.
I am unlocked, was rooted, but no longer.
all stock.
and now there is an "error" under the wifi toggle. it can't be turned on.
Anyone seen this?
If wifi was really broke from this update I'm sure there would be a real s$&tstorm brewing all over the intertubes. I would try the update again if you wanna stay stock otherwise try reroot and custom rom to see if wifi is back. Personally I only ran the updated version long enough to get the radio and quickly get back to ics..
You need to flash the kernel modules for the kernel you are using
Sent from my ADR6425LVW using xda premium
Hey! I have that too... gonna try reflashing the kernel. Was on dsb before update but thought I'd stay stock to check battery life with it. Didn't reflash after restoring my nand.
EDIT: Reflashed stock kernel, wifi error. Flashed dsb, error on flashing the update, "mainver is older" which is exactly what I didn't want to have happen with the OTA.

Hey feralicious , how are you trying to flash the kernel ? It's my understanding if you flash in fastboot the mainver of the kernel shouldn't matter. It only has issues if you try to PH98img.zip flash it that the android.text.file needs to be changed in the zip to successfully flash.

The dsb is flashed in recovery, then goes to hboot to flash the update which is a PH98img.zip file.
I found where scrosler posted a kernel to flash that is for the OTA version and flashed that and I see that my kernel info changed a bit but still get an error for wifi.
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=21907238&postcount=18
So now I just tried 3 times to restore the nand I made immediately after I downloaded the OTA and I don't know what is going on but it says restored and then when I reboot it's not that stock version, it's already back to Ineffabilis. I realize all things point to operator error but I've been making nands all along and have gone back to them with no problem and this doesn't make any sense! Ugh. All this rooting stuff was going so smoothly until now. I made that specifically so I could go back to stock + OTA that I had on my phone.
I don't know if I can start all over now since I'm already updated with the mainver. Guess I can try to use con247's ROM + OTA but there are no instructions for that.
I guess I need to go to sleep. Maybe do a factory reset tomorrow and try starting from scratch.

Take the boot.img out of the Ph98 file and flash it manually in fastboot .
wipe data/factory in recovery then in amon ra go to developer menu boot to bootloader.. take the boot.img you removed and either place it in the same folder as fastboot or if you have set the path for adb so you can run it from anywhere . Open up a CMD , change directory to the folder with fastboot and type fastboot flash boot boot.img
This will flash the wifi module for you without encountering the mainver issue.
Well it seems that flashing scrosler's newer mainver boot.img should have fixed it. Right now I'm restoring a nand. I made them correctly but wasn't thinking straight about what they were, so I think I was restoring the last Ineffabilis from before grabbing the OTA. I'm now restoring the last one I made that should be stock OTA. Then I'll check wifi on that.
Was going to edit out the whole part about my nands from my previous post since I realized I wasn't remembering correctly but now you've gone and quoted it and spoiled my plan. Aha! I see the HTC boot animations so now I've got it back to stock OTA. Drum roll...
and wifi is working!
So the wifi error has to do with restoring a nand of the custom ROM. Tomorrow I'll try flashing the ROM fresh instead and see if wifi remains, unless someone knows that this will not make a difference.
Thanks.

I had this issue and it's from restoring a nand of a stock updated rom after I was in a mainver loop. What I did was go back to a stock gb nand I made and wifi was fine. I took the OTA again and rerooted. I'm good now. Do you have a stock gb nand handy??

Mine's all good now as far as WiFi as mentioned above. Just have to find out if I can use Innefabilis with the OTA. Thanks.
I did find out that I was not actually rooted after the OTA as I thought I was so that could be what caused it. Root explorer worked and superuser was in my apps so I assumed... But when I went to use Tibu just now it said I didn't have root, so that could be what went wrong for me. Now that I'm sure of root I'm going to try to restore my Innef. Nand and see if it still breaks WiFi.
Hey OP! Have you got your WiFi working?

CONFIRMED: Flashing/restoring Ineffabilis breaks wifi.
Wifi is fine with just the OTA but I get the error after restoring a nand with Ineffabilis or flashing it from scratch again.

Argh. The one in the first post of the Ineff thread, stock rooted? Yes. Someone posted in the Ineff thread that they have wifi as well.
I have a feeling it's because I didn't lock before updating?... but I read others saying it wasn't necessary. Starting over. Again.
Well I did everything over again using con247's method. This time I locked and unlocked. So now I'm ready to put Ineffabilis back on.
Hag77... did you restore a nand or reflash it from scratch? And was the kernel you flashed the stock rooted one in the first post of that thread? And did you flash before as well as after getting Ineff back or just after? What is the version/date of your kernel now? Thanks.

Download OTA rom, and remove the ph98file from it. Place the OTA rom file on the root of the SD card with the Ph98img file removed. Now , open the Ph98 file on desktop and just pull out the file boot.img ( looks like a silver disc with a white background) Place that file into your fastboot folder that you used to unlock your device with.
Reboot phone to recovery, wipe data/factory reset. Once wiped, install the OTA rom zip .. after that is done installing, go to the main menu of recovery again and select developer menu. In developer menu choose reboot to bootloader. Once in hboot, plug phone into the computer and select fastboot.
It should say fastbootusb highlighted if properly connected and in fastboot.
P.S. you don't extract it, just drag it out of the ph98 and drop it into your fastboot folder
Now, got to the folder with fastboot and the boot.img image and open up a command prompt ...Make sure the command prompt is showing the folder your in as the path .. then just type fastboot flash boot boot.img.. this will send the boot.img kernel image to your phone.
Once, that is done reboot and you should now have the OTA installed with the proper kernel.

I went straight back to my nand backup of ineff- then flashed kernel with fastboot.. I never ever ever flash kernels w/ ph file- not that it can't be done successfully I've just seen too many people run into problems doing it. Flashing kernels w/ fastboot is the only way I trust and it's supereasy (although requires pc).. So to sum up- my path was
relock- ruu to scott's posted ruu
skip all setup on ruu and go straight to the update
reboot into updated phone once
pull battery- hboot- install amonra
restore nand
flash kernel
success

Are you double clicking on it. Might have to download a program called 7zip. It is a free program that will let you unzip folders. I double click on the folder and I am able to open it up, but I do have 7zip installed so maybe thats why.
The thing is that I am pure stock, just rooted. I went to recovery and recovered to my original and only back up, everything works now, but I am afraid that the update will self push and break it again.

Well easiest way to prevent that would be to flash a custom recovery , then the update will fail. Guess , I didn't realize you could back up with the stock recovery never tried it .
Unless your saying you don't want to Unlock at all, then I am not sure because the update will get pushed to a stock rom with stock recovery. Don't think there is anything you can do except alter some files I suppose , but just as easy to accept the update

Unable to create back up using CWM

CWM Version 5.8.1.4, Stock rom, rooted.
Just wanted to create a back up before I flash any custom roms, I haven't been able to create a system back up. I've tried backing up to external SD card, and internal SD card but neither works.
Internal SD card will go all the way through the steps: Boot image, recovery image, system, data, and then it just hangs on the SU command at the very end of the data back up.
External SD card hangs on system back up with no commands.
Is there any fix around this? Would AmonRA be a better recovery manager to use? I used CWM because it's what I used on my Droid 2.
Also, once I create a recovery image, is there a way to manage and delete images through CWM? I know RomManager had a way, but there were issues with ROM manager on HTC phones so I stayed away from it.
edit: sorry I tried to link to other forum posts but I can't post links. there was a post I wanted to link to saying AmonRA is better, but it didn't go into detail as to why. Can I uninstall CWM and reinstall AmonRA without any problems?

Yes. Do it! That is, switch to AmonRA. One of the big problems with CWM is that it won't charge a dead battery if you happen to run it all the way down to zip.
I know AmonRA is in the roll-up sticky among other places.:highfive:

Ha! I've done everything through flashable files and only used adb and fastboot via hansoon's all in one tool when I rooted and later when I s-offed. Tonight was the first time I sat down and actually 'practiced' doing things with fastboot and adb....and I tried to do what I bet you just did...flash it using ADB?

In bootloader, you use fastboot commands. So it would be
Code:
fastboot devices
Then, assuming it sees your device
Code:
fastboot flash recovery recovery.img
recovery.img is the recovery file, of course.

[Q] My phone is stuck in boot. PLEASE HELP!!!

I was flashing MeanBean to the newest version 3.09 from 3.07 i was currently on. I cleaned delvik and cache hell I even did the system and it sits in boot. So after many reflashed of 3.09 i finally decided to flash a different rom all together. That rom stays in boot. I'm S-on btw. I dont know what to do. I'm disabled and live alone so I need my phone. Thank you guys very much in advanced.
Sounds like your TWRP may need to be upgraded to the latest. You will have to go to the teamwin website and update using fastboot since you can't boot into the rom. If you have a nandroid backup you should try to restore that first.

You just need to be able to get to the bootloader. So long as you have your PC/Linux set up with adb you can run the adb fastboot command and install the recovery then adb reboot.

Ok I'm in fastboot and theres a usb unrecognize flag. I go to program manage and My HTC under Android phones has a "hazard". With the following after I open it...
This device cannot start. (Code 10)
A request for the USB BOS descriptor failed.
Im on Windows 8 btw. Im headed over to the HTC site to see if maybe there are updated drivers.
Any Ideas? Thank you guys for responding so expiditiously.

Here's a zip of 2.4.1.0 I found from the TWRP thread in the Original Android Dev board. Can't find a zip of the latest. This one should serve you well though.
Rename to PJ75IMG.zip and place in the root folder of your SDCARD, then boot to bootloader.

First, make sure you renamed it properly.
Then, make sure you're putting it in your external SD card, not your internal. If you don't have an external, then just place it in /sdcard
You would be right!!!

When i bring up the bootloader it update twrp and when i select recovery, it reboots to a black screen. How do i pull out the file so it doesnt reinstall twrp every time. It wont open twrp so i can remove the zip. Could that zip file be bad?
Do i need to select clear storage in bootloader?
Does it take time for twrp to load? I dont remember my phone doing this on the last twrp install.
Just remove the SDCARD from the back and you won't have it try to install it every time.
It doesn't take long for TWRP to load really. After the installation, boot into the Recovery through the bootloader.
If he is s-on I didn't think he could flash a recovery through the bootloader.
Update your drivers and try to install the recovery through fastboot.
You didn't need to make a new thread in the wrong section for help as people were already helping you.
