WTF MATES!
Ok, so I probably should have done more research but I went to google and searched BY DATE for the most CURRENT INFO on rooting the phone. I got this site: http://www.goodandevo.net/2011/11/state-of-the-htc-evo-root-world-november-2011.html
I went by the HTC unlock method because the first link (revolutionary) didn't have my HBOOT version. Now, I'm suffering because of it because my fastboot doesn't come up any more. I get the message "Update Failed! Main Version is older!" So I went to this thread: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1239821
...and followed those instructions and...nothing worked. Is there any fix to this? Any help would be appreciated and sorry for being.... yes, a noob.
1- This is the wrong section
2- could you provide more info on your phone like what hboot version u have
If u are more specific you may have better luck...

Do you have a file called [PG86IMG.zip] still in the root of your SD card? It sounds like maybe you have an older update file that the phone wont use because you upgraded to the newest via the HTC Tool.
thank you very much, that's what it was. i removed the file and it worked

If you mount your sdcard you should see one named PG86IMG.zip, you'll need to rename or delete it.
you mean to say i have to use another custom rom instead of the one i am using
PG86IMG
i am not being able to find the solution for this prob. i have done almost everything but still the same error pops up all the time. did it several time. first of all i am not being able to get the mmcblk0p31.img file.
i almost checked all the tutorials but no use i am still not being able to figure out that where i am going wrong.

If GSM is anything like CDMA, you're S-On and because the file you're trying is older it will not let you flash it. Good luck.
Sent from the 3Dimension.
ok but now it not start .
The reason you're getting stuck is because the bootloader automatically tries to load PG86IMG.zip if it exists on the sd card, the quick and dirty way around this is to remove the SD card, boot the phone up and but the card back when the phone has booted up.
"the main version is older" problem is due to the fact that before updating the timestamps on the hboot in the PG86IMG.zip(1.49.0007) and your current hboot (1.49.0009 or 1.49.0018) are compared, and as it turns out 1.49.0007 is the oldest of the bunch, so it gets rejected.
to get around the above mentioned problem (for the GSM version at least) follow the instructions in this thread http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1471246 it basically changes the timestamp/versionID of the 1.49.0007 to trick the phone into downgrading.

Guys, first let me say I'm an ex Dinc owner with many ROM's flashed under my belt and like most of you I decided to try my hand at the manual rooting process and let me say the directions were flawless and thank you to all that helped in that process. Unfortunately, I'm more of a silent user and because I don't have enough posts I cannot post in the Development forum so I'm sorry for putting it here.
Now, like an idiot I completed the root, downloaded superuser(everythings great) then downloaded Rom Manager and was about to create a backup and then I screwed up!!!! I accidentally flashed the update.zip and NOW I HAVE LOST MY ROOT!! if I go into Hboot it says:
Mecha XD ENG S-OFF
HBOOT - 1.04.2000
MICROP
RADIO - 1.16.00.0223r
eMMC-boot
Do you want to start update?
. Sorry if I'm rambling I just can't believe I screwed something up like this. If anyone could help it would be greatly appreciated.
Thanks,

Something happened that caused me to loose root as well. All I had to do was repeat step 7, and you should have root again.
delete the PB50945.img or whatever from the root of your sdcard. if you try to boot into hboot and it sees it there it tries to flash the file for you.

If you had posted in the dev section it would have either been closed or moved here anyway.
But yeah, in agreement, remove whatever it is trying to boot off your microsd card.
Guys did that actually as you typed it but still not fixed. When I opened superuser it asked if I wanted to update a binary so I said yes. It told me it failed but a zip file had been created on the root of my SD and I need to boot into recovery to flash it. If I boot into recovery I get a pic of my battery with a hazard sign. Thoughts ?

Your very welcome. Glad to her that your up and running again. =D
English Users Read Here (Chinese Version at the bottom!)
As many of you know, S-Off is out, but it requires 1.10.
Thus some of us with Hboot 1.07 seemed rather stuck on S-Offing.
My 32GB GSM flyer is from Taiwan and came with Hboot 1.07 and
has software number 1.38.709.7.
Recently I was searching around, rather within the past few 2 hours I managed to successfully update and S-Off my Flyer and would like to share my findings within a guide that points to other guides so that others who are in the exact same situation may find inner peace haha.
I do thank everyone involved in this whole thing, whether it be people who wrote other guides or the people who worked on S-offing and other forum sites that I condensed this information from. (one being mobile01).
However before i get started, should you follow this guide because you are in the exact same situation, do know that this is at your own Risk
STEP 1
Download This, You will need it.
RUU_Flyer_HTC_WWE_2.00.405.3_R_Radio_20.3501.30.089BU_3809.05.04.10_M_release_194964_signed from
http://www.filefactory.com/file/ccd...9BU_3809.05.04.10_M_release_194964_signed.exe
(or any other place where this may be found).
Now follow this link and create your gold card.
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=16147471&postcount=77
(Remember when it talks about opening the RUU and getting the Rom.zip, it means while you're running the exe, grab the image and then once you've copied it somewhere you can close it.)
STEP 2
Once you've created your goldcard, simply put your renamed Image file onto the goldcard and then stick this card back into the flyer.Reboot your htc flyer into bootloader mode and let it run the checks, Should everything be smooth (when it asks you to) tap volume up to confirm yes and it'll update. At the end of this you should have now you're newly updated 1.10 Hboot.
Once you're done updating the Hboot, take out the goldcard and either format or rename the zip to avoid installing a new ROM which may not be desirable for most people.
If you got a CID error make sure your numbers entered in the steps within the guide above were all correct.
Now Here's where it gets easier.
I did this all under windows so I wouldn't know how smooth this would be on linux.
STEP 3 (S-Off)
Use this Guide below to now S-Off
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1194709
I chose to install CWM once everything worked well.
From here you can do the following steps or just simply pick one of the custom roms that our excellent chefs have cooked up and you'll be on your way to phone calling, BT headsets and permanent root.
STEP 4
Once you've got S-Off you 'll want to root.
Use this guide to get you to perm-rooting your now S-Off Flyer
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1193885
STEP 5
Surely you've gone this far because you sort of like your stock rom.
Well Enable BT and Phone calling with this guide
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1185688
The other root related things can be done from dling things from the market and whatnot.
I take no credit for the guides that are linked and whatnot. It's good to see development here and I thank everyone involved with the flyer once again.
This was merely a condensed guide of what I did and followed. Do remember. This is all at your own risk should you choose to follow it.
Could also just wait for a safer way as well.
Thanks. First post btw

怎麼從Hboot 1.07變到有Hboot 1.10 + S-Off 和Root
先說一聲，我是國外的僑生， 國語不是很完美
第二是我都是用Windows操作的
Vol- ＝ 右下音量健
Vol+＝ 右上音量健
這樣會有什麼好處？
可已用一些方便的程式像是Titanium backup 或是Setcpu
但是flyer 更好玩， 可已解開密密功能。
例如說， 連接藍牙耳機， 但更重要是可以解開打電話功能
幾個禮拜前temp（暫時） －Root 有破到但還是需要S-Off。
最近Alpharev 跟 Revolutionary 最近有破解flyer 的S-On 變成S-Off 但是有個問題就是需要Hboot1.10 所已我們大部分的台灣和別的flyer 在hboot 1.07都不行。
但最近有人發現到可以升級到hboot1.10 然後就可以順利的破解。
因為我是實在太感動， 所以就在這裡幫忙大家整理好資料。
我的flyer 剛開始的軟體1.38.709.7 板本， hboot 1.07
警告！（有些人不小心就刷到英文板的ROM！記得總是會有風險）
步驟大概是這樣：
1： 自作以個金卡（讓你的flyer可以升級）
2： 用AlphaRev+Revolutionary 來得到S-Off 和裝CWM就可以開始刷ROM
(剩下的就看你要不要保留原本的rom)
3 ： Root—的到管理權利
4： 解開BT耳機和電話的程式
在這裡我要先說謝謝很多人的努力才有可能破解flyer
這個之前， 這是有風險的，有什麼問題可要自己處理
1：：第一步：：
先下載這個
RUU_Flyer_HTC_WWE_2.00.405.3_R_Radio_20.3501.30.089BU_3809.05.04.10_M_release_194964_signed
從這個網址：
http://www.filefactory.com/file/ccd...9BU_3809.05.04.10_M_release_194964_signed.exe
2:: 第二步：：
要做好金卡 （這個地步不需要把flyer連到電腦）－－感謝kk57的圖片！
a. 假如你有裝HTC 軟體在電腦上, 的軟體請先刪掉 破完可以再裝
然後裝這些driver從：
http://downloads.unrevoked.com/HTCDriver3.0.0.007.exe
（假如上面的Driver不行（例如說你是win7x64）請重新裝HTCsync但是要關閉（可以 到處理程序關 或者 右下角把它關閉）
b. 去flyer
Settings -> applications->Development
確定USB Debugging 有開
然後
Settings->Power 確定 FastBoot有開
然後
Settings -> Connect to Pc-> Default Connection type 選charge only。
c. 下載完上面， 先用管理的身份執行他 但是只是讓他有視窗）先不要動什麼（都不要按什麼）
他剛跑出來的時候會先創作一些暫時的檔案, 你剛好要得是其中一個叫做ROM.zip。 大概 在 C:\Documents and Settings\XXX\Local Settings\Temp\---- (win XP)
或是
C:\Users\XXX\AppData\Local\（win7)
在這個裡面用搜尋功能去找 然後放到桌面上 （傳完就可以把RUU 的程式關了）（記得有RUU的視窗的時候才會出現ROM.zip
d. 把ROM.zip 名字改稱PG41IMG.zip （不要弄錯1之後是一個I）然後準備好一個 microsd卡來當金卡（至少要差不多要600MB吧）(需要的話請先備份）
PS: 如果你找不到rom.zip 請到以下連結直接抓也是可以(轉至xda-developers論壇 kokyew 大大的上傳).
http://www.multiupload.com/EGLRDOE2D0
e. 先把這個卡放進你的flyer然後到
Setting-> Storage-> Unmount Sd Card 等他unmount完-> Format SD Card
f. 然後去google Market 下載一個程式叫“GoldCard Helper”
g. 下載， 安裝完 打開這個程式然後因該會看到MMC2的一些號碼， 你要的號碼是 “Reverse CID” 的號碼。
去psas.revskills.de/?q=goldcard把 你的e-mail和你的CID號碼填好選好Android輸入一些字跟號碼就送出去， 不到幾秒你會收到 一個e-mail
把e-mail中的img 檔案下載放到桌面
h. 去mh-nexus.de/en/hxd/
下載 HxD Hex Editor
i. 把你在flyer的microsd卡拿出來放進SD －Adaptor 裡 接到電腦
j. 用管理身份執行HxD HexEditor
上面選Extra-> Open Disk 把“ReadOnly”拿掉， 然後Physical Disk 之下選你的microsd卡
(絕對不要選到你的硬碟！請確認一下！）
然後選Extra->Open Disk Image 選你從e-mail下載的IMG打開
然後問你要512的時候， 按OK （現在因該有兩個小視窗）
k. 先看你的Goldcard.img的視窗然後按Edit->Select All 然後Edit－Copy
L. 換到你microsd卡的視窗， 選00000000 到 00000170 然後Edit-Paste Write， 做 完這個之後， File->Save
M. 把HxD HexEditor關掉， 把PG41IMG.zip放到你的microsd卡上，
（假如一只不行把PG41IMG放不上去而叫你格式化， 有可能在第J步沒有在Physical Disk選microsd卡）
然後把他放進你的 flyer裡(先不要把蓋子放回去）。把flyer關掉. 關掉完， 按Vol- 的按鍵不要放， t同時按Power 然後你因該會看到三 個Android在跳舞這就是Bootloader模式
n. 進Fastboot然後就開始他自己會自動檢查你的microsd卡, 剛開始如下
http://attach.mobile01.com/attach/201108/mobile01-8514ff4b1e76b21870c3faa22ca5c051.jpg
假如看到
Loading.....[PG41DIAG.zip]
No image!
Loading.....[PG41DIAG..nbh]
No image or wrong image!
以上這兩個這樣顯示是正常的,因為我們MicroSD卡沒這兩個檔
然後等Loading....[PG41IMG.zip]
Flyer 正常讀取此rom,故要等旁邊藍色Bar跑完（像是下面）.
http://attach.mobile01.com/attach/201108/mobile01-6b65eef5a7c1daed1599597bcc037a26.jpg
Loading PG41IMG.zip完後,接下來是Checking PG41IMG.zip, 右手邊市跑黃色Bar, 一樣等他跑完.
（像是下面）.
http://attach.mobile01.com/attach/201108/mobile01-b10454d85498d8eaf904d24356c77c29.jpg
當Checking跑完後, 會出現以下畫面, 此時請按Vol+ 開放刷HBOOT, 右手邊是跑紅色Bar條（下面的圖）.
http://attach.mobile01.com/attach/201108/mobile01-00d48044d4598c35f8b82fef2bf83caa.jpg
請注意,當紅色Bar跑完後, 會自動重開機, 此時你要快點把MicroSD卡移除, 這樣就不會刷到歐版ROM!!
（只要更新一次！！）
(更新完了就把金卡先拿出來避免不小心刷成另外個ROM）
在這裡確定你的Hboot 是否是Hboot1。10
(要像下面的圖（目前還是s-on）
http://attach.mobile01.com/attach/201108/mobile01-5c4a9f4d6991cd7bd1f14ce3f5b18b92.jpg
好了剩下就簡單多了
假如有CIDerror 或是什麼 Fail的問題， 也許是莫個部份沒有弄好
成功的話
到這裡把你的 金卡從新Format（不用了）
（當然蓋子可以放回去）
第三步：： S-on --to－ S-Off
（先把Fastboot 關掉）
（USB3.0有可能有問題，請用USB2.0）
（以下大小寫會有關係）
a. 先去revolutionary.io （這是網址）
b. 按Download for Windows(先不要關視窗)
c. 把flyer弄到android裡
d. 接到電腦
e. 把zip解壓縮執行exe
f. 在一個DOS的視窗裡你會看到一個號碼： HTXXXXX
g. 在revolutionary.io 你按DownloadforWindows時， 因該會有個Beta Key 視窗跑 出來， 選windows， HtcFlyer， Hboot 1。10， 輸入你的HTXXXXX號碼然後按generate key 就會有個號碼跑出來
h. 把這個號碼輸入進你的DOS視窗然後按enter就等他執行完就結束了
然後會問你要不要裝CWM我是有而且為了方便最好是.
雖然我第一次就成功
這個步驟廳說有可能需要試很多次才會成功所以不要擔心太多
最好先備份你目前的ROM（下面有寫怎麼備份）
到這裡你可以到xda刷他們的ROM（個有個的優點）
剩下的是想要用原來用的STOCKROM才需要的地步
到這裡把你的 金卡從新Format
沒有裝到CWM的話請到這邊
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?p=14693680
或是參考Till寫的
http://www.mobile01.com/topicdetail.php?f=566&t=2245343&p=13#29771555
第四步 Permanent-Root（永遠的得到管理權利）
a.)下載這個
http://forum.xda-developers.com/attachment.php?attachmentid=670828&d=1311991644
(放到你的Microsd卡（不是金卡）)（不需要解壓縮）
b.)進去CWM（到Bootloader到Fastboot選recovery）
c.)先備份你的ROM（Backup&Restore然後選backup）
d.)備份完選Install from sdcard” 選你下載的zip
e.)刷完你就破解完了然後從新開機
假如你的flyer卡住了， 沒關係，按著POWER+Vol- 就會OK
假如你發現你回到android裡，沒有Superuser，請從新操作 Step 4
第五步：： BT+電話
先下載Root Explorer， 然後跑到／System/
你因該會看到一個build.prop
用Root Explorer打開（記得要MOUNT到可以改系統的東西），
看到這些Code的時候， 假如後面的數字不一樣請改到下面的
ro.ril.reject.cs.ss.enabled=0
ro.ril.reject.mo.ussd.enabled=0
ro.phone.function=1
(這是解開電話功能)
ro.bt.profiles = 4270403
service.brcm.bt.ag_supported = 1
(這是解開BT功能)
儲存，從新開機， 因該就會看到phone的程式
要用flyer來打電話是會需要BT耳機
之後可以到market上下載busybox還有很多關於root的
到這裡就結束
假如換了ROM
需要中文的話去market上下載MoreLocale2（就可以看中文）
輸入就找“Touchpal"，market上還有很多輸入的KB

yeah no problem,
haha it's true that on xda not many people are replying vs the same thread on 01 but from the page views from xda, i figure most people are linking in and are simply too shy to say anything. (i do it too haha)
Main Post edited, added cautions, extra checks and images for convenience(in chinese version)
excellent guide. s-off and rooted :thup:
What if my device doesn't show the Update confirmation after the checking has finished? It just jumps straight back to the bootloader menu.

It's probably a problem with your Gold Card, Double Check you've done everything in that section correctly
Many thanks for the guide. I don't need to S-off though the phone functionality would be nice. But steps one and two were perfect for me to change my south east Asian ROM (Indonesia according to HTC) to the latest WWE. Goldcard didn't work but a full formatted SD card did the job.
Thanks for helping feed the need for the latest stock ROM!

HBOOT
I'm still having problem upgrading Hboot from 1.07.0000 to 1.10.0000.
Attached is a screenshot of my fastboot. any ideas?
not sure if i was in the same boat as others here. I have an S-Off Flyer with the 1.07 HBOOT and I wanted to do the Honeycomb update so I needed to update the HBOOT. Instead of doing this procedure I ran an RUU update (I chose a Chinese version) and it updated the HBOOT though it re-locked my device. Next I ran Revolutionary and followed the rest of the HC instructions on Modaco.
I am now running Honeycomb
I've done the Gold Card process before and though it worked I remember it being a bit of a headache. This might be easier for others in my situation.

yes im using the goldcard methoad now and i failed to upgrade the hboot, do you mind telling me where did you get the chinese RUU? or can i just run RUU_Flyer_HTC_WWE_2.00.405.3_R_Radio_20.3501.30.089BU_3809.05.04.10_M_release_194964_signed?

Nvm, found the solution by running RUU_Flyer_HTC_WWE_2.00.405.3_R_Radio_20.3501.30.08 9BU_3809.05.04.10_M_release_194964_signed directly, and my phone hboot upgraded to 1.10.0000
Now s-off and gain root. =)
I only used the Chinese RUU because it was handy. The only difference it should make is to flash an RUU compatible with your device and has a usable HBOOT

Format risk... Missing info: remove goldcard after updating...
hello!
Post 1, step 2:
STEP 2
Once you've created your goldcard, simply put your renamed Image file onto the goldcard and then stick this card back into the flyer.Reboot your htc flyer into bootloader mode and let it run the checks, Should everything be smooth (when it asks you to) tap volume up to confirm yes and it'll update. At the end of this you should have now you're newly updated 1.10 Hboot.
once you succesfully updated with the gold card there is a missing point!
REMOVE the goldcard and rename the zip to something else or format it before booting with it in the flyer....
Otherwise.. on next reboot it will go on installing the new ROM and you'll loose all your settings (data is on internal SD thankgod..)
I've just been through this.. please update the guide for others who won't read this late post... I lost all the config... nuuuuuu!
Well thanks for the superb post anyway!
Cheers!

"Partition Update Fail"
I m just stuck in bootloader cant even unlock through HTC method to install Original RUU....
PLease someone give me some clue...
My Current Hboot version is 1.49.1107 , S-OFF Revolutionary..
Do you have the ADB, fast boot and HTC drivers installed? You need it for the following:
Plug in your phone to your computer. Open CMD, and browse to your adb installation. E.g cd C:/Program Files/Android/android-sdk/platform-tools/
Then type adb getvar cid.
Remember that number. Find the appropriate radio for your CID number and flash that.

You said you are stuck in bootloader and cant unlock with HTC method to use a RUU.............
Thats good for you , as far as you dont need to be unlocked to use a RUU.exe.
If you unlock your phone via htcdev.com you cannot use RUU.
My concern is not to install ruu but only to get my evo back to work... which i can not figure out how to.....and friend It was meant to be reclocked....I cant understand why i cant access my recovery..neither i m able to flash it,,, If some one please help please since my phone starts and goes in boot loader automatically n there if i try flash any thing throuigh fastboot it gives me an error in retrun ///

Thats what i wanted to tell run a RUU.exe made for your phone, it should get it to work according to me. But I m not 100% sure.
flashing radio
hello flashing radio's can be very tricky the file may have been corupt or youmay have flashed the wrong ruu and also where did you download this file i hope you flashed a PG86IMG.zip if you did go back to the thread that you downloaded from and make sure you that ruu is for your device and if it isnt that thread you downloaded from should have other ruu's that are for your device and make sure you read everything on that thread before downloading and flashing

flashing radio's
ok i see where you made your mistake dont use exe file's. you should be using PG86IMG.zip and all you had to do is copy it to the root folder of your sd card and power off and battery pull and put battery back in volume down and press power boots into bootloader and it will find the zip file and it prompt start update you press volume up for yes and set back and let it flash you new radio and when it is done delete it from the root folder of your sd card and enjoy

http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1218196 here it is this is what you should be using
What you have is called a soft brick. The radio you flashed was not compatible with your phone. First remove your SD from your phone. Then put it in your pc/laptop via card reader and remove whatever zip you were trying to flash. Then you have to find the correct ruu that has a compatible radio and run it from your pc.

Hello friends,
One of my friends has got an HTC Amaze 4G from the US. The phone is already factory sim unlocked. He's given this phone to me because he wanted it to read and write Arabic letters and RTL in general.
I got this phone, what I've already done till I had the problem was, unlocking bootloader -> installing EXT4 -> got a patch from Hasoon2000 (Link to the original thread) -> EXT4 Recovery for wiping cache, dalvik and fixing permissions -> Flashed the Arabic Patch zip -> Wooops! the phone is stuck at the HTC screen.
I've searched the forums for an RUU to get the phone back and fix the soft brick. All what I found were RUUs for different carriers from CA and US (RUU collections thread)
Later on, I relocked the bootloader, downloaded this RUU
PH85IMG_Ruby_TMOUS_1.43.531.3_Radio_1.08.550L.19DC _30.66.550L.08D_release_228638_signed.zip
Put it on an Ext SD card, went to fastboot bootloader, it started detecting the ZIP and finished showing this error "Incorrect Phone ID"
Then I downloaded this one (Asian RUU) too after some searching.
PH85IMG_Ruby_hTC_Asia_WWE_1.60.707.3_R_Radio_1.13.550L.13DC_30.69b.550L.101_release_253820_signed.zip
The fastboot detected it but ended up with going back to bootloader main menu without any prompts or errors.
Finally, I am clueless and came here to ask you for your help and suggestions to overcome this problem.
Notes:
-The phone is Factory Sim Unlocked and does not have any names of any carries burnt into it (Unbranded Phone).
-After finishing the process of unlocking bootloader, I saw the list of the languages selectable were English (Singapore), English (Pakistan), and other Asian languages and no US and EU languages were present (That's why I was trying to install the RUU of Asia)
-The phone is on Stock GB 2.3.4, stock kernel, and EXT4 Recovery.
Thanks all
Have you tried restoring a backup. Can you boot into the bootloader and recovery?. If so you just need to figure out why this device is unbranded. I never seen an amaze unbranded unless the digitizer was replaced at some point. Was this phone ics or gingerbread before it was tampered with?
Sent from my VLE_U using xda app-developers app
if by unbranded you mean the phone just has HTC and no other carrier lable on it then its most likely the Canadian version from Wind Mobile or Telus or Mobilicity. and as far as you downloading the RUUs have you renamed them to PH85IMG.zip before trying to flash them in bootloader? another easy way to find out what stock ruu you need is to check your HBOOT version on the boot loader so you can see what stock RUU's are compatible with it

Unfortunately, I have not taken any backup, as I assumed at first that the process is quite simpler (which is already is). I already ran at much harder work than this one with ios, symbian, bada, and android.
Yes, I can boot into the bootloader and recovery.
I neither know the reason for unbranding the device.
It was Stock Gingerbread 2.3.4
Thank you for your appreciated time and help.

Yes, I have already renamed RUUs each time before copying them to the SD card.
HBOOT 1.92.0000

Could you tell me how to know which stock RUUs are compatible with the phone?
Note: I ran across this thread, but I don't actually know whether S-off and SuperCid would help me in my case or not. I don't want to put water into soil
My Cid is the same as his one, HTC_044.
Thank you for your appreciated help and time.

I'd wait for a 2nd opinion to be sure, but the HBOOT looks like mine did on Gingerbread which is a US T-Mobile brand.
I'd also wait to get a working RUU on it before doing S-Off and super cid. But, once you do both, you'll be able to flash any carrier's RUU.

I will try flashing other RUUs till the moment I get a second opinion.
Thank you Wolf.
Just figured out why the Asian RUU did not get flashed in the bootloader, as the package contains 4 bad files (CRC errors); you can see the 4 files in the attached screenshot.
One guy also had those bad crc errors before, Thread.
Therefore, the only solution to my problem is to s-off and supercid to get another RUU from other carriers to work.
The question is, is there anyway to s-off the phone from the bootloader?
Because the JuopunutBear method requires the phone to be on (operating normally), USB Debugging on, and fast boot off from power options.
Hope someone helps me.
Thanks all
EDIT: Just finished downloading the ruu from another mirror, Winrar does not show any errors!
will transfer it to SD, and retry.
wish me luck guys.
UPDATE: The phone is back to life again! Time to backup!
wait you were on GB i would have updated to ICS before trying to flash any custom roms, most roms are designed for android 4.0+ let me see if i can find u a stock GB RUU
---------- Post added at 09:22 AM ---------- Previous post was at 09:16 AM ----------
ohh okay didnt see you had it up and running, this time do an official update to ICS before trying to flash anymore roms, and always remember to do a NANdroid backup before flashing any and all roms, once you update to ICS you should S-OFF your phone and superCID it so this way next time you can restore to stock with any RUU from any carrier, good luck and happy flashing and dont forget to hit that thanks button for ppl that offer help/advice ^^
plz share the link for the Custom ROM
" Just finished downloading the ruu from another mirror, Winrar does not show any errors!"

There is no RUU available yet that will work with the 2.95 update installed which is apparently how you go the phone. You can either get S-OFF and then flash the original RUU and take the two OTA updates, or try flashing one of the stock ROM's in this post. If you want to go back to almost 100% stock and unrooted you will need to flash the unrooted version of the stock ROM and then flash the stock recovery.
The one thing that won't be stock in that scenario is the bootloader since if you lock it the status will show "relocked" rhater than "locked".

I want to thank you for replying !!! ive seen many posts and you are like a god of the Htc evo 3d ! Im trying to get s off with jbear but i get the error message " connect device and install drivers" i think it might be the fastboot but not sure can you help me with that?

You need to install the HTC drivers. Which version of Windows are you using?
Getting S-OFF with hboot 1.58 installed is still uncharted territory for VM users. I suggest you check out the related threads in this forum and post there for help since there are a lot of Evo V 4G users there that can help. They are actually looking for someone in your situation who is willing to try getting S-OFF so I'm sure you will get lots of help.

will do ive tried installing random drivers i find for the evo 3d but dont work :/ do you know where to put the folder for the drivers? thank you so much for your help btw
Dude !! I finally got s-off !!!

How did you do it?

I flashed viper Rom (don't remember which one) and that gave me stock kernel. Then, I downloaded a .zip file with the drivers to the phone and used the jbear program to s-off. Then , I put 1.04.200 hboot and used the ruu to bring me back to stock. Updated my phone and I am all good. If I get all the folders together might make a tutorial on how to get s-off even after taking the OTS updates on s-on. Or prob. You can hel0 me ramjet73?

Well, we already have guides on both XDA and androidforums.com and the unlimited.io developers that created JuopunutBear have gotten very sensitive about having instructions posted in other places.
I'm curious how you did the wire trick since the Windows downloads are no longer on the unlimited.io website. Did you use an existing guide? At this point we are just trying to figure out what is the best version of JBear to use after VM users have installed the March OTA and have hboot 1.58.
ramjet73
I'm not sure ? I have the folder though , I can send it to you and you can take a look at it?

Yea, just for the jbear portion. I'd appreciate it if you can zip it up and upload it to dropbox or similar and PM the link to me.
As I said, at this point we are just trying to determine which jbear version works best with the Evo V updated to the March OTA and hboot 1.58. If the most effective process warrants a new guide I will be happy to work with you on that.

Program I used to S-OFF
I dont think its letting me send the link to the program i used. Can I post it here?
