Have you tried downloading the twrp pg86img.zip & make sure it's named PG86IMG.zip then put it on the root of you're sdcard, boot into bootloader and update that way?
CM powered EVO 3D, enough said.

when the device either hangs on the htc logo or reboots while on the htc logo, it means there is an issue with the actual kernel/ramdisk.
when dealing with a custom recovery, they should always boot without any issues. the best suggestion off the top of my head is to make sure if you're on the CDMA version, use the shooter recovery and if you're on the GSM version, use the shooteru version of the custom recovery.
otherwise, as suggested above, reflash the confirmed correct custom recovery for your device. there are a few ways to flash the custom recovery although, being you used the htc unlock method, regular custom recovery mode will not have write access to the boot/kernel partition.
if you're interested in loading any ROMs which come with kernels or separately flashing a custom kernel, there are essentially two complete methods:
1) use my Flash Image GUI app from normal android mode to flash the kernel. then flash the ROM from custom recovery.
2) use fastboot boot c:\android\cwm-recovery.img . this will temporarily boot the custom recovery and htc unlock will grant it write access to the kernel/boot partition. this command is different than fastboot flash recovery c:\android\cwm-recovery.img. the fastboot boot will temporarily boot into the custom recovery while fastboot flash will permanently write it into the recovery partition.
hope all the extra details make sense and helps!
Ummm.....Just my 2 cents, but it sounds as though the most basic possible problem has been overlooked here. You need to go into menu>settings>power and uncheck the "fast boot" box or do a battery pull, then try to boot into your bootloader to access recovery. With your phone completely powered down (fast boot unchecked or after battery pull), hold volume down and press power. That will put you in your bootloader with an option to boot recovery from there.
ok i'm a noob i've used thr shooter and not the shooteru cwm img, now all works

I rooted my phone using HTC's method since I had already ran the update to 1.5 shooter. I flashed CWM to the recovery of the phone and took a backup. Loaded ViperROM and all was good.
Last night:
I wanted to load a new kernel since the one I put on there was not working well with WiFi. At the time I did not know i could just boot to HBOOT then go to recovery I thought I had to use Fastboot. Using Fastboot and doing the commands from memory I think I flashed it to the boot instead of recovery... Not exactly sure what I did but whatever it was i'm stuck in a continual reboot that gets no further then HTC.
What I've tried so far to resolve issue:
1. Boot into recovery and restore from backup. - Did not work
2. Boot to recovery and load a new ROM (Myns zip). - Did not work
3. Boot to recovery and load a stock ROM (4.53.651.1_Rooted_deodexed_signed.zip) - Did not work
4. Rename the stock ROM(from above) as PG86IMG.zip and put on SD. - Didnt work
4. Used fastboot to do fastboot boot (stock kernel i found online.zip) (stock rom i found online.zip) - Did not work
Any ideas cause i'm out and I dont want to go back to my previous Evo 4g.

From what I've read regarding the HTC unlock method, when you boot the custom recovery, the HTC unlock method does not grant the custom recovery write access to the boot partition.
There are only three ways I'm familar with having write access to the boot partition when having used the HTC unlock method:
1) From normal android mode, the boot partition is unlocked and you can flash a kernel/write to it. My application, Flash Image GUI, works great for this purpose.
2) Using fastboot to temporarily load the custom recovery. When using fastboot to temporarily load the custom recovery, the HTC unlock method grants the temporarily loaded custom recovery write access to the boot partition.
fastboot boot c:\downloads\custom-recovery.img or temporarily boot the custom recovery with write access to the boot partition to flash the .zip file
also, you can directly flash the kernel, but the modules will not work until you manually push those: fastboot flash boot c:\downloads\boot.img
3) Having the bootloader directly flash the boot partition via a PG86IMG.zip file.
All the stock RUU files are hosted at: http://goo-inside.me/shooter/ruu - the latest version is 2.08 which must be what you're using to have used the HTC unlock method.
Hope that helps! Good luck!
I downloaded the PG86IMG.zip file from goo-inside.me and it loaded the file then nothing happened. So I selected reboot and it went back to doing the same old loop.
Joey is the man! got it working. I was unaware that if i booted into recovery from bootloader it was read only not read write. using fastboot corrected it.
Hello xda every I have an major problem I tried to flash an rom today via the rom manager app and cleared cache and others that was requires now I cannOt get into recovery mode it's just shows the htc logo and boots up regular but I can acres fastboot I'm on 1.50 s-on all help would be very appreciated other i I searched other threads to no avail
If you tried flashing a rom with a custom kernel through rom manager it won't work. You have to flash that through fastboot. You say that your phone "boots up regular" as in boots into android?

Not all of your infmration is easy to follow or understand.
Essentially, if you're looking to flash a kernel or ROM (which many times also include a kernel), there are three basic methods (two seem the easier) with hboot 1.50 and htc's unlock method:
1) For Kernel Flashing: From Android mode, using my application, Flash Image GUI. Put the kernel .zip file on your sdcard, select from inside the application and flash.
If flashing a ROM, pull out the kernel file (usually named boot.img), push to sdcard and flash using Flash Image GUI.
If you're away from a computer and want to flash a kernel, this is a great tool.
2) Load the custom recovery, NOT using the traditional method (reboot recovery, bootloader -> recovery, etc), but a specific method for Hboot 1.5. From the prompt use: fastboot boot c:\downloads\cwm-recovery.img.
This will temporarily boot the custom recovery image and the HTC unlock method will grant it write access to the boot partition while in this mode.
In this temporarily booted recovery mode, when a full ROM (with kernel included) is flashed, the kernel will flash correctly.
3) Boot into recovery using the traditional methods, reboot recovery, bootloader -> recovery, etc, and after the custom recovery has loaded, flash the ROM. Reboot into fastboot mode and then separately flash the kernel from the computer: fastboot flash boot c:\boot.img.
Downside to this method would be if a zImage is included instead of the boot.img for the kernel, won't flash correctly.
If you're issues are with not entering a custom recovery mode when following step 3, there are a few options. If you're able to boot into normal android mode w/o any issues and you seem familar with ROM manager, flash the custom recovery again from there.
My app, Flash Image GUI, also offers the same feature, select the recovery.img or PG86IMG.zip file off the sdcard and Flash Image GUI will flash it.
Another option is to flash it via fastboot: fastboot flash recovery c:\downloads\cwm-recovery.img
Hope that helps clarify!

If the device does not make it past the splash screen this usually indicates a bad kernel (or ramdisk) or bad flash.
Either flash the same recovery file again or download a new recovery file.
Sometimes a bad flash can occur, usually rare. Sometimes the recovery file can corrupt while downloading, usually rare. But these things do occur.
Good luck!
Hey guys, I just received a new Evo 3D through Asurion. I came from the Evo 4G, which I loved but my screen shattered the other day and I figured it was a good move to try to get a 3D considering the better specs. I'm not new to rooting, I used to flash different roms on a weekly basis and pretty much knew all the ins and outs.
From what I've gathered however, there is no current method for a full s-off unlock with the new 1.5 hboot which I have I read one of the guides in the dev forum that uses HTC's unlock method which gives you root but not s-off. It says you can't flash roms and kernels through recovery but you have to go through the boot loader... I'm a little confused about this?? I'm used to just booting into recovery, wiping whatever I need to, flash my stuff, and reboot. What's the difference here? Do I have to use adb on the computer to boot into recovery every time I want to flash something? I guess I'm just not quite sure what the limitations of HTC's unlock is and what exactly I have to do every time I want to flash a custom kernel or rom. Thanks for any help
You boot into recovery through fastboot when you flash a ROM, anything else is normal. The reason for this is the boot partition its locked (that's where the kernel goes). You can use flash image GUI to flash kernels on the go (no fastboot).
Thanks, don't you always boot into recovery through fastboot though? As in power down the phone, hold power and volume down, then boot into recovery? Also what is the flash image GUI?

This app allows the flashing of kernels and custom recovery images in normal android mode!

You only need to fastboot to recovery when you flash a ROM because it gives tempest write access to the boot partition. If you're flashing a theme our anything without a kernel, you don't need fastboot. Also, flash image GUI lets you flash a kernel on the go so you don't need fastboot.
I have the 1.50 and used the unlocked method. What I do is use the flash gui app and flash the twrp with it and then reboot into recovery and wipe everything, format, and then flash my rom I want. If I want a different kernel I flash it after I flash my rom but I first go back to main menu and rewipe everything but data then flash my kernel and reboot. I've done this alot and I've always had no problems. I'm using the new twrp 2.0. Hope this helps and u cn even pm if u need futher info.
Hello everyone, i rooted my Evo 3d about 4-5 months ago via HTC unlock method and when i go into fastboot screen (holding down Vol - and Power when phone is off) it says S-ON and all that. (just so you guys have an idea where im coming from)
now the thing is every time i want to flash a ROM or kernel or even go into recovery i have to flash the recovery image via fastboot so i can THEN go into CWM.
The other day one of my friends showed me his EVO 3d and he had an updated CWM recovery that was touch screen based (with bigger options) and he could access it from the phone per-say without having to flash the image via fastboot like i have to everytime i want to update my ROM.
Where can i go about finding out how to update my CWM recovery or should i first UNROOT my phone then re-root it to install this new recovery? My primary concern is just being able to access the Recovery without the need of fastboot.
Im afraid to mess things up since i lost my warranty when i unlocked via HTC method.
I am sorry to say that. You can not downgrade your hboot version and forget s-off (for now) does not matter which c.recovery you use. If you dont want to boot in recovery with your pc , you can use GUI app. Sorry. MY friend

The cwm recovery can be booted without using fastboot too.
I think you always use "fastboot boot cwm.img" command to boot the recovery right?
But if you use "fastboot flash recovery cwm.img" you can always boot it without the use of fastboot.
And if you want to use the recovery like your friends 3d then download and flash this -> http://www.clockworkmod.com/rommanager
Or you can also flash TWRP 2.0 touch screen recovery from here -> http://teamw.in/project/twrp2
I prefer twrp 2.0 than clockworkmod as cwm is littlebit buggy.
NOTE: Even though you can boot recovery from your phone itself without using fastboot, you must boot recovery from fastboot for flashing kernels or ROMS with kernels different than your current one.
so I was having a reboot issue with AOSP ROM's and was trying to go back to stock before I realized there was no RUU for T-mobile devices.
anyway long story short I am now at the point that I can load a custom recovery via fastboot but have no ROM at all on the phone, so when it reboots it just hangs on the HTC one splash screen.
how do I go about flashing a new ROM without usb access?
any help is GREATLY appreciated.

You still have usb access it's in hboot menu, Your in a mess , but do this .
If you have a custom recovery and can boot into it, do so.... Power off phone and hold vol down and power until u boot Into hboot ....And then choose adb sideload Rom option in your cwm or twrp recovery and download a Rom to your laptop and select sideload Rom.
If you have no recovery, boot Into hboot manually choose fastboot make sure it says fastboot usb that means u have usb recognituon to your phone it will be in red letters .... download and use hasoons2000 toolkit for tmobile m7.... Choose flash a recovery it's at the far top right of the tool kit to script flash cwm recovery.
Then sideload a Rom from pc to phone via recovery..
