Hi hope someone can help or point me in the right direction. Ive already unlocked/rooted, haved CWM installed on my phone and S-on. I want to S-off but revolutionary program says my device isn't supported. I have a Evo 3D GSM European Hboot 1.49.0018. How can i get the S-off? I tried to flash infected eternity Rom and bootlooped each time i tried. I wiped dalvik, data, cache etc...i was wondering if S-on has anything to do with me bootlooping? Thanks for your advice.
ROMS that are not using stock kernel (Please correct me if I'm wrong, I only been here on the EVO 3D forums for 2 weeks ), can't be flashed with S-ON.
I believe you can downgrade your hboot and go S-Off. How that exactly works, I have no clue unfortunately.
Okay....i've tried to flash 2 different Roms now and all i get is a boot loop. I just tried to flash shooter beats but with no luck. Can anyone else shed some light on this issue? Does anyone know how to downgrade Hboot to turn S-off? Or point me in the right direction please?
I had that same hboot and was able to downgrade it using Flashmaniac's tool in the Dev section. Just follow his instructions, it worked for me. It does state, however, you must have one of the listed cid numbers (which I had, you'll need to check yours). There's a free app on the market called cid checker, it will find this info for you.
Once you've downgraded your hboot you can follow the normal procedure to s-off with Revolutionary.
Hope this helps
By the way, I've heard you can still flash roms if you're S-on if you extract the boot.img from the zip file of the rom and flash this first through fastboot. I'm not sure exactly what the procedure is but there are threads about it in the Dev section. Please don't try it without reading up first though, as I don't know much about the risks involved, if any.
Mine was 0018, but I downgraded it to 0007 using this guide: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1495657&highlight=vodaphone+hboot
------------------------------------
Please give thanks if i've helped you!
Thanks for your responses friends. I managed to flash a rom with a stock kernel through CWM as was indicated in one of the posts. Thanks for that. I'm going to give the other options to S-off and downgrade a try tonight. I think the Evo is a lot harder to manage than the atrix and razr! I modded them phones no problem! I'll feedback to you tonight and let you know how it went.
Okay...i've downloaded flashmaniac tool for downgrading Hboot. I put my phone in USB debug mode, charge only, extract and run step 1, but nothing happens! I even tried step 2 but nothing! It seems that the program isn't seeing my phone. I don't have HTC sync installed, and i have the HTC drivers. So, i cant figure out whats wrong. I've even allowed install of unknown sources on my phone. Does anyone have any ideas? Thanks in advance.
Did you make sure usb debugging was checked in settings??

hello i had problems with my unlocked, rooted but S ON evo with 0018 Hboot...
if you are S ON and want to flash a rom, here's the way :
1 Be near your PC.
2 extract boot.img from the zip you want to flash
3 flash the rom into recovery
4 DON'T REBOOT !!!
5 Power Off
6 go to fasbtoot USB
7 fastboot flash boot boot.img
8 reboot
9 done, worked for me
Hey,
My 3VO is not possible to S-OFF atm so I'm stuck with S-ON. To install ROMS that require S-OFF its easier to just enter recovery via fastboot. But that requires a computer.
The other solution is HTC Dumlock: http://teamw.in/project/htcdumlock
Using that method you can install roms on your phone without a computer.

Also it is a lot easier to just enter recovery from fastboot and install the ROM normally. Doing all that is just unnecessary to my knowledge.

your right, i remember back in the days, the first flash of my n1...
i applied this method after a normal flash and being stuck on withe htc screen... and someone on another thread told me to flash into recovery then flash the boo.img.
but yes do the whole flashing via fastboot is OK but in some roms like leedroid you cant choose some elements via aroma installer.
I myself can't say if aroma Installer works threw recovery via fastboot because I simply haven't tried it. I personally use HTC Dumlock and used it the other day to install LeeDroid. Aroma installer worked fine, everything worked except for the touch screen interface on the installer, had to use volume buttons, no big deal though.
I also have this Hboot and it can't be temporary rooted.
Is there any way to just root device with this Hboot? I don't want S-off.
Thanx for all your responses. After 8 hours today, i finally managed to s-off my evo. It wasn't easy. I finally changed my Hboot to 1.49.0007, using official firmware with European Hboot (PG86IMG.zip), xvi32.rar hex editor, adb, and fastboot. I had to relock my device through the process, and then use HTCDEV to unlock it once again. Once unlocked, i used revolutionary to gain root, recovery, and to S-off. There were a few tweaks which i had to make to get it to work. If anyone needs help please message me and i'm more than willing to help! I'm currently running Infected Rom Eternity 3.5 Nightly with no problems.

Yes there is, you have to unlock it with the HTC unlock tool (This will wipe your device so backup your phone, it will not wipe your SD card though):
http://htcdev.com/bootloader/
Download this onto your SD card:
http://downloads.androidsu.com/superuser/Superuser-3.0.7-efghi-signed.zip
Then download this pack of files onto your computer:
http://www.mediafire.com/?49156dz8d36xva3
After you have unlocked your bootloader with the HTC Tool.
Reboot into bootloader > fastboot and plug in a USB
Double click Open cmd in the pack of files you downloaded and type in "fastboot flash recovery recovery-GSM.img" (or recovery-CDMA.img if you have a CDMA phone)
When that is all done, boot into recovery mode and do a full backup. (nice to have a backup of complete unmodified stock ROM).
Last step, while staying in Recovery press install from zip file and find
Superuser-3.0.7-efghi-signed.zip
When thats all finished just reboot and you should have a rooted stock ROM with S-ON

Thanks for letting us know how you got on, i'm sure it will help someone in the same situation in the future.
I agree, the E3D is a nightmare to mod compared to other Android phones! Glad you got there in the end
Hi
Last time i flashed BiParanoid JB ROM. It wasn't a good ROM for me, because for ex. videos on YT hasn't appeared. After that I decided to change the ROM to Cool ICS. And that's the point. The phone stucks on hTC logo and then restarts and so on. I tried to flash another ROM - mwakious and the result was the same. So what is the problem and what I have to do ?
I've the 4EXT recovery.
My hTC is S-OFF
hboot 1.49.1107
radio 11.25.3504.06_M
Thx for the answers
BTW, I am a noob, so please don't ''bark''
Are you using 4ext recovery, If so, go to wipe and format everything except sdcard and re flash the rom
( Don't ask me for help as I couldn't care if your phone explodes, eh! )
Thx for the answer, I did that but It is still bootloopin' and rebootin'.
Before you flash the rom pull your battery and go into recovery through bootloader, after the rom flashes again pull your battery and start your phone, that's what I did when I used coolexe rom once. Btw video can be played on cm10 by 2 methods, 1 download mx player and select sw decoder 2nd developer options select disable hw overlays, bam videos play, although I prefer the first method
( Don't ask me for help as I couldn't care if your phone explodes, eh! )
But what do you mean by ''pulling battery'' ? I can't take out it, otherwise Evo won't turn on ( while it's charging, of course).
Pull the battery and put it back in, sorry I should have been more descriptive.
( Don't ask me for help as I couldn't care if your phone explodes, eh! )
It is still bootloopin'. What is the reason ? What i have to do ?
Try another hboot
( Don't ask me for help as I couldn't care if your phone explodes, eh! )
Thx, but how can I flash the antoher hboot ? And which hboot ? Thx for the answer
My ideas:
Redownload the ROM then reflash
Flash the boot.IMG from the ROM via fast boot
Change hboot

Find the hboot file and and rename it PG86IMG.zip and put it on your SD card and boot into the boot loader. It will register it and ask to flash it.
So, I can flash boot.img from for ex. mwakious ROM, but where is the hboot located ? I don't have fastboot on my PC, so how can I install it ( but I have it on Evo,of course).
copy PG86IMG.zip to sdcard then go to bootloader and install the zip

Hi, I've had an Evo 3D for a while now but liked the stock features. However I then got a bit bored and decided to install a custom ROM. Here's what I have done so far:
Unlock bootloader (HTC)
Rooted
S-Off using the wire trick
I am running a GSM phone.
I then tried installing the BETA of the PACMan ROM for GSM but get stuck in the loop. It gets to the splash screen of the ROM then reboots. If I go back to my stock ROM restore it's fine. I have 4EXT installed and before installing the ROM did a full wipe except SDCARD.
Any ideas? I can't post on the Dev thread for the ROM ...

I would say the wrong hboot, if your 1.53 jb will not boot so you need to downgrade your hboot to 1.49

Hmm ... so I figured out why it might be boot looping, I had SmartFlash enabled in 4EXT even though I'm S-Off. Now it's not boot looping but just stuck on the slash screen for PACMan.
If I downgrade do I need to S-Off again?
---------- Post added at 04:19 PM ---------- Previous post was at 04:04 PM ----------
Answered my own question ... followed the instructions in THIS THREAD and downgraded the HBOOT. Still not loading my ROM, may try reflashing it.
Another update ... it worked! I was running out of ideas and thought I would try ClockworkMod Recovery instead of 4EXT, did exactly what I did before in terms of wiping cache, etc. and hey presto it came up! So maybe worth trying if you're S-Off.
I must admit I put off doing S-Off but I wish I had done it earlier, make things so easier!
Hey, i have my rooted HTC Evo 3D
m coming back on xda after a long time and i didnt updated my phone

Which hboot version you have? I running CM10.1 - 4.2.2 and i recommend it.
JB rom for htc evo 3d (Even a good working bug-less ICS would do)

I've also been stuck on leedroids GB rom for a long time..its overclocked processor to 1.5ghz dual core actually drains the battery too much . I wanted to try the Carbon JB custom rom but the site has been pulled down already..Any recommendation guys i would much appreciate, especially if it has sense UI. even an ICS recomendatio with working 3D camera will do for now. My GB rom is way past its date
Overclocking the already quite sufficient 1.2ghz dual core was a mistake by LeeDroid.
this XDA link http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2237238 here has all the recent Evo 3D Roms/Kernels/Tweaks etcetera..If you happen to try any of them especially the JB and ICS roms and find them satisfactory please do recommend here..
For running JB you need hboot version 1.49.xxxx.
Coming from hboot 1.53.0007 (GSM Device) you have to
1st Unlock (HTC Dev way)
2ns S-Off (Wire Trick)
3rd Downgrade hboot.
For the Unlock thing, if you're not already unlocked, look here.
When it comes to S-Off, look here. Read the instructions carefully.
A pretty good explanation about how to downgrade to hboot 1.49.xxxx is here.
Flashing in the Liquid smooth 2.9 JB 4.2.2 rom..

Thanks for the quick response, Senior member, youve helped a lot of members here, hopefully you'll also help me too..my device is as such
S-ON,
UNLOCKED BOOTLOADER,
ITS A SHOOTER_U (GSM) ,
WITH HBOOT-1.49.0012.
I would very much like to switch the rom from my 2.3 GB Android, to the 4.2.2 liquid smooth 2.9 CM. although it doesnt have sense Ive also read on numerous threads that i do not have to be S-OFF as i can use the 4EXT recovery to perform smart flashing safely. Any thoughts on this??
I plan to do this,
1/ download liquid smooth
2/ fastboot boot "file.img"
3/ clear dalvik, cache, wipe factory reset,
4/ Flash rom via 4EXT.
5/Reboot.
its how ive always done the Rom flashing. Any problem with my method? do i have to like flash radio/new kernel/ etc??
Latest radio is recommended for most custom roms.
So check if you have the latest radio, otherwise you can get it from here (link from @johnnyslt thread).
To flash new radio you have to be s-off.
A good explanation is here.
Though I did it the other way on my 2 EVO since both had hboot 1.53.0007.
you will most definitely have to flash this new firmware if you want to run ics/jb/kk roms. you might not need to s-off cause you have an older hboot but i highly recommend you get s-off.
As for your method, make the following changes
1. If you do not have 4EXT, get it first
2. Turn on smartflash in 4EXT recovery options
3. Make a nandroid backup from recovery (in case something goes wrong)
4. wipe data/factory reset. wipe cache and dalvik-cache
5. Install rom via recovery and reboot (boot image should be flashed automatically due to smartflash. phone will reboot twice)
If this does not get the rom to boot then you WILL need to s-off. restore your nandroid to get phone back in working condition.
P.S. the command to flash boot.img is "fastboot flash boot boot.img"

Eminem, thank you for your feedback on my issue. Okay I have tried everything but the phone just wont get past the boot animation. I have NonSense ICS Rom, flashed boot image via fastboot (thanks for your correction on the command) , flashed Rom, done a superwipe, but all the PG86IMG.ZIP files just wont flash in bootloader. Its starts parsing the zip then just exits just as soon as it starts. I'm guessing this file contains the new radio that will updgrade mine from the GB one to be accept ICS/JB/KITKAT.
I have to the conclusion that the only hindering factor that is keeping my evo 3d from fully booting after flashing a new rom despite dong everything correctly must be the fact that i havent yet achieved S-OFF and hence cannot flash new bootloader, And the only way to do that is via juopunutbear method as the Revotionary tool only works with hboot 1.49.0007-1.49.0008 MIne being hboot 1.49.0012. Thus i ask, must i now download the Ubuntu o.s Ver 12.0 (or Later),just so i can S-Off coz the juopunut website forbids use of any other distros for the proccess.
By The way i have visited your thread and i must say i like it better. i can even spot a KITKAT rom in there. And once i dpo manage to achieve S-OFF i will definitely try it.

I have thrown in the towel and resorted to return to my Nandroid backup of LeeDroid Ver 5.4 GB. You cannot the believe the process to achieve S-OFF when not in stock rom as mine is a custom rom. It requires me to Return to stock rom, unroot the device, and also relock bootloader. Just so i can do all that again with the stock rom , then finally S-OFF using the Wire-Trick. Scoured the internet for days and not even one thread to S-OFF a HTC EVO 3D while on a GB custom Rom (Like my LeeDroid Rom) , with hboot 1.49.0012, all threads insists that i must chuck the Custom rom, get back on my stock rom and do the whole process again. Tiresome.
Looks like your phone is an asian-HK-CHT model
this RUU should work for you if you want to go to stock ICS. after that you'll need Ubuntu LiveCD to do the wiretrick.
I'm sorry but this is the only way for you to achieve s-off right now

This is the most helpfull post i have received so far. This is ICS (the RUU) an upgrade from my GB rom. So yes i will take it. I have never installed an RUU before, so is it basically just like an OTA upgrade update from GB?? I just download it like any other Rom and install/flash in Recovery and am done? jumping straight to ICS?? Already Downloading. Just tell me what to do with it in steps, remembering that my device is rooted , custom rom, hboot 1.49.0012
Question...
I understand installing an RUU will relock my bootlader and also unroot my device , right??
Essentially, what does an RUU update just the Android version, or even the radio? hboot? kernel?
ok waiiitt a sec
you have to run this exe file from your pc after connecting your phone in bootloader. but first you have to relock bootloader yourself. i'll link you a guide to help you with RUU
---------- Post added at 04:42 PM ---------- Previous post was at 04:29 PM ----------
heres a guide that you can use for reference but it might be a little confusing cause its for cdma users. i'll just detail the steps myself. Yes this WILL upgrade your rom,hboot,recovery,kernel and radio. you will loose root but its simple enough to get back root.
1. boot into bootloader, connect phone to pc and run this command in cmd "fastboot oem lock"
2. Run the RUU exe file on your pc and follow all the steps. its a GUI so its pretty self explanatory. this should take around 15-20 mins max. DO NOT disconnect device when RUU is running
3. Phone should reboot into your brand new ICS rom. now you can proceed to unlock bootloader, flash recovery and root
If you get errors while running RUU it might mean that the RUU is incorrect. or you can see this post for any of the errors
All RUU's are located here
the right RUU for you depends on your area and whether its branded or unbranded

Hey Eminem, I just finished downloading the RUU you linked. my problem is that the RUU troubleshooting link you gave me ( http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=33901562&postcount=117 ) says you must first the CID (fastboot getvar cid) as well as the main version of the software installed (fastboot getvar mainver)
In that regard my CID being HTC_622 AND Mainver being 1.22.708.6 am still not sure the right RUU to flash coz none on the RUU list have the same software mainversion. Nways, im going to try the This Asia RUU ( RUU_SHOOTER_U_ICS_35_S_hTC_Asia_WWE_3.28.707.1_Radio_11.77.3504.00U_11.25.3504.06_M_release_264110_signed ) and will revert with results. Thanks for Everything. Hope It works..Fingers Crossed.
Done trying the RUU ..its didnt work. Error 131 Customer ID Error. is any accurate way of knowing the precise RUU file to flash, with all the info i have aabout my Evo 3D?? The OS has just dissapeared , wont boot up, must've deleted the previous rom, even 4EXT recovery is now gone, i guess with root as well, and now have a RELOCKED bootloader.. #SIGH
there isnt a definite method to determine which RUU will work for you.which country did you purchase the phone from? and its not branded is it? you can try the Europe RUU but i doubt it would work. if it does not then download the gingerbread RUU then update to ICS via OTA
Hello
I have HTC EVO 3D GSM and i was wondering what do i need to update, and whatnot.
I want to have my EVO 3D on Jelly Bean and everything up to date, phone was never rooted or updated, i am not sure what to do, i found bunch of tutorials on how to root EVO 3D, and they were for HBOOT 1.5 and 1.43 , also software number was 2. something, so i was wondering is there any tutorial to root and install Jelly Bean ( or any custom ROM that is Jelly Bean and works fine) for my situation, or is the rooting and installing Jelly Bean method the same for all versions.
I got: Android version: 4.0.3
HTC Sense version : 3.6
Software number : 3.28.401.1
Kernel version : 3.0.16-ge733189
HBOOT 1.53 S-ON
Sorry for long post, thank you for answers.
?
So nobody knows it, and noone can help?
AW: [Q]EVO 3D updating help
you can use htcdev to unlock and use the 'wire trick' after that. Afterwards you have s-off and can flash an older hboot (1.49.xxxx)
Therefore you can follow Method a and d from this post:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1743466
But you will lose your data unlocking the bootloader , so make a backup first^^
Installing a rom is easy and always the same if you have s-off and a 1.49 bootloader :
You need a custom recovery , like 4ext or twrp, that you have to flash via PC / ADB once (only way, or?)
Put the rom to your sd card , boot to recovery, (wipe data), and install the zip, done
Most roms are rooted from the beginning on, if not just flash a superuser.zip ( if you want to root your stock ROM, you need at least the unlocked bootloader)
There isn't an official jb ota for the evo, customs are the only way, but they can have bugs and 3d ( at least cam) isn't working on any rom except sense 3(.6) roms
Just to let you know before
Another possibility is this one:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2124142
U would need a Linux PC for this one
It makes you s-off and flashes another hboot without htcdev and wire trick
Alright
Start from HTC EVO 3D's main forum branches.
Hit CDMA or GSM development section as for what you have.
1) Install HTC/adb drivers on your computer
2) Unlock bootloader through htcdev.com
3) Install a custom recovery (TWRP or 4ext) through fastboot flash recovery recoveryfilename.img command
(you are good to flash ICS based custom ROMs/Kernels through fastboot now OR flash only the ROM through recovery)
Get yourself an ICS based custom ROM. Sense 3.6 or AOSP(senseless) be the only options you have with this bootloader.
They are normally rooted and have latest busybox support.
...........
Do not report back until you have accomplished all this. The MODS are watching you ;p

Hi All,
My Flyer has been stuck in a boot-loop for a while now.
I feel like I've tried to follow almost every online guide I found without success.
In the past I had the Flyer s-off and unlocked, successfully ran custom ROM's for almost two years.
Now it doesn't boot successfully anymore, just a blank screen and then reboot. I can boot into bootloader and fastboot or into recovery (currently custom CWM based recovery).
I am now S-on again, Hboot 1.11.0011.
I wanted to try revolutionary again, but can't get my hands on a ROM with hboot 1.11.000 or 1.11.0003.
I have tried alsmost every custom rom around and even extracting rom.zip from every RUU I have.
I would appreciate any help or advice, thanks!
fully bricked htc flyer p510e
here is what i did step by step:
bought an htc flyer, then upgraded it officially to honeycomb
i did not like honeycomb so i unlocked bootloader with htc dev method
then flashed recovery and rooted....
changed the misc_version and downgrade back to gingerbread with fastboot flash zip rom.zip
it worked........gta 3 and gta vice city worked.......few months later the gta 3 and vice city started crashing( just like honeycomb)
so i got s-off with revolutionary.....and flashed honeycomb PG41IMG.zip
that worked...........few months later i wanted gta back so i could not take i tried flash back down but did not work...it would get stuck in RUU mode ...so i flashed PG41IMG.zip back and that worked ..i was not bricked...so i tried another method
i flashed fastboot express downgrader.nb0 and
flyer downgrader.nb0
then changed gingerbread rom.zip to PG41IMG.zip and placed it on sd card
went into bootloader and let it flash
the bootloader at this moment:
***security warning***
pvt chip s-on
hboot 1.10.000
..................
it does not show whether the bootloader is locked or unlocked......no recovery.......tablet does not boot.....only to bootloader and fastboot.....
i tried to flash the unlock token for bootloader but get
signature failed error....
i tried to flash the honeycomb PG41IMG.zip but get
checking header failed
remote[signature failed]
cant flash anything because of that ...cant flash recover to even turn off the verification signature check.....
