Go to twrp site and download the latest image which is 1.1.1.img and flash it using fastboot all should be well.
If you HTC unlocked, you have to flash everything other than ROMs through fastboot.
That means kernels, recoveries, splash screens, etc. have to flashed through fastboot.
In your case you would download the twrp 1.1 image and enter 'fastboot flash recovery twrp.img'

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
ty guys
I have a EVO 3D with hboot 1.5 and I was trying to install a new ROM and instead of extracting kernel from that zip I think I browsed a wrong kernel and installed it through flash image GUI tool. Now, I am stock on recovery screen and none of the kernel or none of the roms that I try to install seem to work, none go past HTC screen. I have teamwin recovery installed. Please help.

You are going to need to use fastboot to reboot recovery and flash your rom. Instructions are here: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=17083811&postcount=2

you'll have to use fastboot.
htc unlock method only unlocks kernel write access while in fastboot or android mode.
since you've loaded an incompatible/bad kernel, you aren't able to access android mode and the only option HTC has left you is fastboot mode.
in order to enter the recovery through fastboot mode, use the following command:
fastboot boot c:\downloads\recovery.img (either cwm or twrp will work).
good luck!
Thank you Sir!!!
Thank you both of you!!!
I can't boot into recovery mode. When I am in fastboot and try to go to recovery, my phone just reboots itself and the same thing happens if I go in to ROM manager and go into clockwork recovery. Any help?
Can't Boot into Recovery?
I had this same problem a few weeks ago. When I rooted my evo 3d I started out with the Revolutionary recovery. I tried to change it to ClockW but I didn't work and then i couldn't go back to the revolutionary recovery. My solution was to install the TWRP recovery. Its better then any other recovery I used by far. And is easy to install. There are two ways to install it:

Check your settings and make sure fastboot is disabled. Then try to boot into recovery. If that fails just post back.

Did you flash a custom recovery early on ? What version are u using ? What hboot too?
Like the one guy said make sure fastboot is off.
First of all i've been searching for a way to fix this for hours now without a solution.
My problem is as follows:
i installed official miui beta and got stuck with a boot loop, i was running 4text recovery but i wanted to try something different so i flashed twrp recovery in fastboot. however whenever i try to go into recovery now it just reboots and goes into boot loop again, so i cannot access recovery or boot into my rom.
I have tried flashing several recoverys via fastboot but each time it just reboots and does not enter recovery.
i have also tried rebooting into recovery using fastboot reboot recovery and adb reboot recovery but still it didn't work.
i have flashed another boot.img but now it just gets stuck on miui screen instead of boot loop
is there any way i can get any recoverys to work? i have tried looking for a 4text recovery.img as 4text was the last recovery to work but i can only seem to find the app that flashes it.
i have also tried flashing a rom through fastboot by typing fasboot flash zip rom.zip but it just says failure.
i am now downloading RUU_SHOOTER_U_ICS_35_S_HTC_Europe_3.28.401.1_radio_11.77.3504.00U_11.25.3504. and am going to try rename it to PG86IMG and update through bootloader after relocking it and then unlocking it again but i am not sure that will work.
in short i flashed a new recovery but it just reboots device when i try and enter it and the rom i am on happens to be stuck on boot loop so i cannot get in rom or recovery and flashing a new recovery does not work.
BTW i am S-ON HBOOT-1.49.0018
sorry for the lengthy post and also any grammatical errors as i am tired

The whole problem, which is always the problem is you are S-ON. The MIUI rom will NOT run unless you install the newest firmware. You cannot install the newest firmware with S-ON because it is locked up in a partition that you cannot access unless you go s-off.
Has nothing to do with the recovery. I've been using 4ext recovery pretty much the whole time I've owned my EVO 3d and never had one single problem with it.
There are roms you can run with s-on but not the MIUI one.

cool, didn't know that, my problem now then is how can i reflash a different rom, bearing in mind that i cannot access recovery? do you think putting the pg86img stock ruu thingy on my sd and letting bootloader install that will work?

I do believe that if you are s-on, you should be able to relock the phone and then run the rru from your computer.

My next step was to relock it and run the ruu through bootloader, can you do it through computer/fastboot?
Sorry, I haven't been on the forum for a while.
Read the following link,
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1194053&highlight=relock
It should help you with the process.
The rru file you have should be an executable file that the name ends with "signed.exe" if memory serves. I do believe you can run this from your windows desktop if you are using windows. The link above has the adb command to use to relock the phone.
Once you are up and running again, you can install an ics rom even if you have s-on. I am running one but there are a few steps you need to do in the correct order so you don't end up where you are.
Good luck and have a great weekend!

thanks man i did already tried to install stock recovery in fastboot it didn't work. and i have international version
i want the stock recovery back because i want to get update from htc
ah, i didn't use twrp to flash mine, i went into fastboot oem rebootRUU and flashed it there, my problem with the stock recovery is i can't find one for hboot 2.49, the one for 2.09 flashed, and loaded, but that was it, it would error out, maybe a google search for your t6ul___ version that is stated on your bootloader screen will find you an international one.
