Hi, my friends revolutionary failed three times, kept saying it lost communication with phone or something in the middle of the process. It only restarted the bootloadwr like 2 times instead of the three or four times it normally does.
The weird thing is that his bootloader says revolutionary and s-off now.... He was able to flash teamwin recovery as well.
Is he all good to go or will he run into problems later? I have never heard of this happening and am pretty baffled by it.

If he has S-OFF and is able to flash a custom recovery, then it means he should be set to go.

Yea, I haven't seen anyone report that happening. I would guess that if it says revolutionary and is S-off, then it should be good to go. Especially if he has already successfully flashed a recovery.
Thanks guys. The only thing I found weird is that he flashed synergy ROM and does not have crt animations. So I wasn't sure if that was somehow related... I know probably a dumb thing to think, but.I find it so bizzare that he even got s-off to begin with.

I received a brand new evo 3d because they were out of the Evo 4g replacements. I was pretty stoked because i was getting a new phone to go flash crazy with. Little did i know, no root! Damn! Htcdev unlocker Sux and isn't working for me. it goes through the whole process but won't unlock. So i just gave up. Anyway the phone is still a beast and atleast i have a brand new phone to tide me over until April for my upgrade. But of course I'm going to wait now for the lte phones to come out. Hope you all are having fun flashing, i envy you all. And a little jealous to.
Damn I'm bored!

Just do some reading. I did HTCDev unlock earlier this week. I have had my 3D since launch should have rooted it before I took updates but to be honest it really isn't that big of deal as people make it out to be once it's working.
You just gotta boot recovery using your computer instead of using the phone. Even when I had my evo I was always using my computer with a usb to copy rom files over anyway so taking an extra few seconds to boot recovery isn't a huge deal. I guess if your flashing like crazy and have roms on your sd card it could get annoying but I don't go that flash crazy. I like to setup my phone and keep it that way for a while.

Nothing wrong with Hboot 1.5 I have it also just one lil step more to flash but nothing hard to do... Root was rather easy Just follow the HTC DEV steps they give you no need for a video lol.
Does the htcdev way not work for 1.5?
no prompt to unlock your phone shows up. Even though in cmd it says that it was successful. It just stays in hboot.
Can I ask how its not working specifically?

You guys that are CDMA having this isssue need the latest Ruu 2.17 EXE run this in hboot and let your phone reboot and login to your google account if you wish or just go back to hboot and redo that unlock code and unlock your phone...

About a month ago I went through the hboot downgrade process to try to get s-off. I had all the right drivers installed and everything else. Revolutionary just kept giving me an invalid beta key. Because revolutionary didn't work I updated back to hboot 1.5 cause I already had root with that. With the New ics roms coming out and having to update the firmware, I decided to do the downgrade again, but revolutionary refuses to work. Invalid beta key is the message I get. And to get to the point, I want to know if anybody has any solutions for this. I've heard of a few people that said one week it didn't work and next week it did, or other stuff. Anybody have any helpful information?
Any tips or tricks are appreciated, will try just about anything

Does revolutionary actually use your actual serial # to check against the beta key? Meaning, if you had another one that worked (like mine) and used it, would it still refuse because it doesn't match your device?
This sounds elementary, but are you typing in the Serial yourself or are you cutting and pasting the serial # from the revolutionary prompt? When I ran revolutionary, it prompted me for the beta key and had my serial # in brackets, like [HTC2018482] or whatever. I copied everything into the brackets, pasted it into the site, and got my key that way. It might be a good way to make sure you're getting the same values that revolutionary is seeing.
When I used it, I had to copy and paste the key, manually retyping it didn't work. Hopefully this helps

You have a point, but I can't use any if the ics roms. They all reboot on me. After flashing I can't even unlock the screen cause it reboots. Also, when official ics is out I'm going to need to update the firmware. I don't want to get stuck with another hboot with the update

I'm thinking about intentionally bricking it and taking it to Sprint and I'll either get another one or something else. Not sure what to do yet. I guess I'll wait till official ics and see if there is anything new to help with the hboot and if not I'm getting rid of this. As much as I love HTC this might be my last one cause of all this hboot and bootloader crap

Try turning the anitvirus protection off. Then reboot your pc/laptop. Then run the exe.

What I think could be :
When you have generated the Revulutionary key you were in HBoot version 0007/8
Now your HBoot version is 1107/8.
I do not know if there is a kind of check intergrated between the generated key and the tool which could cause your trouble ?
I had this problem when I was first using it. What I did was to copy the key and then paste it into wordpad and then I typed it manually when asked and that worked for me.

Unlocked, S-off, running CleanRom DE 1.4...trying to flash a boot animation in boot. It finds PH98IMG, then says it is parsing. And then its back to the menu, no option to install. Any ideas? I've downloaded several different ones and same deal.

If your trying to flash a boot animation from hboot... You do it from recovery. But you can just replace the one you have with q file manager. Unless you're meaning a splash screen?

Man....i flashed like 5 different ROMs last night. All worked. Today....tried to put the MeanROM ICS on it......wont boot up...stays at the HTC screen. Tried 5 times. Did everything right cause i flashed the others right.
So i said f*** it. Tried to put it back to the ROM i had...Nocturnal Blackend....won't boot anymore. I wiped everything,,,,,factory reset just like i did last night when i installed 5 different ROMs. Right now.....its on MeanRON...i can see the time....and the battery at the top...everything else below is black. What would this mean?
I have HBOOT 1.50 in case it helps. But whats weird is...it was doing fine til i tried the ICS ROM.
By the way..i have S-On.
When i try to to restore with Nandroid....it just stays at the HTC start up window. Im not sure what to do from here. There has to be some small error that you guys may know.

From everything I've read on the forum, ICS and S-on do not play well with many people. Some people have no problem, but most people get bootloops or the phone boots to the HTC screen and that is it. I recommend you get S-off.

Only weird thing is....i had Blackend ROM on it...then went to the ICS ROM..it worked. I was in and all. But the wifi was showing error. So i did what i did last night...extracted the kernel from the MeanROM with Flash Image GUI....after that....HELL. So..it DID work...i guess it had the wrong kernel. BUT the main thing now is....i cant restore nothing....i have 2 backups....they hang at the HTC screen. They didnt hang yesterday when i was installing all kinds of ROMs. So now...i cant get ANYTHING on it. I still feel its a small step thats doing this. Right now...im in MeanROM i guess...i can see the clock...an the bars...im charging it. But nothing below that. So its more like "What can i do to make it come on below the top bar". I installed the Chad kernel...still nothing.
[Edit] Also..the bottom lights comes on..the 4 buttons...and the top bar showing the time a nd signal...everything between..the whole screen is black.

Am i doing something wrong here or is this related to the HTCDev issues that everyone has been speaking of here lately?
I hadnt seen a thread on this specific process so this is why im curious.
