Rogers Evo 3D Failed Ruu Recovery - HTC EVO 3D

Hey everyone, pretty new to the forums. I have been tinkering with trying to root my new rogers evo 3d i got a few days ago. I ran into some issues, and thought i had soft bricked my phone, it seemed to the point of no return, so just wanted to share what i did to make it work. Ive read a few posts were others had a similar issue and didnt seem to be resolved. I used the Revoluntionary Method, at 1st i was having trouble with the HTC drivers, the program no matter how many i tried would crash on install. So i just skipped all the stpes and just ran the Revoluntinoary Program, it actualy did everything, including install the HTC drivers all automated, worked awesome. Then not realising that i couldnt do most roms on a rogers gsm phone, i tried and failed with many roms. The one and only rom that i was able to install, was leedroid. This rom worked perfect everytime......but only on the 1st boot, if i tried to restartt the phone it would hang on the HTC logo. At this point i just wanted to revert back to rogers stock rom......but of course i didnt back anything up! I downloaded the rogers Ruu listed on here, and figured hey this will do the trick. After runiing the rogers Ruu and failing many times, i was frustated. Not only did it fail the flash, but it also locked my boot and left me S Off. Now every time i tried to start my phone, i would get the HTC logo screen with the !!!! in each corner, unplugging the usb gave me the locked hboot screen, and of course the Ruu kept failing. From everthing i read in the forums, it seemed toast. Since the RUU kept failing on the extract part it seemed, i thought maybe try to free up some space on the sd card......then i decided to just do a quick format on the card(Used card reader). For whatever reason, after formatting my sd card and rebooting the phone....it just started right up in stock rom, like the day i got it. Didnt even have to try the Ruu again, it just worked. Sorry for the long winded post, just wanted to give a brief history on everything i had done. Hopfully this helps someone out there that was stuck at the same location i was.

My Phones a Rogers Evo 3D GSM, HBoot 1.48.0008. Yup it was SOFF.
I used the Revo method to get Unlocked, SOFF and CWM.
I started out with CDMA roms, not knowing any better, and got my phone stuck in a boot loop.
The only way for me to stop the bootloop was with LeeDroids rom found here on XDA, so maybe try downloading that and flashing it. I downloaded every GSM Rom listed, but only Leedroid for me would do anything. The rest just hung up on the HTC logo.
Then I realised that Leedroids rom was also hanging on the HTC logo after Initial boot so i wanted to just get back to stock. I downloaded the listed Rogers Ruu also from XDA. Flashed into Leedroids rom on initial boot, ran the Rogers Ruu......only to have it fail on the update.....did a few cycles of the built in recovery option in the Ruu to no avail. I would always end up and the screen with around 11 checks all ok, but under system in would be failed. There was some message about and extraction error, and this Ruu wasnt compatible with my phone do download and try a new one.
Now my phone was stuck at the HTC logo screen with the 4 !!!! in the corners, unplugging the usb brought up the Hboot screen, which now said ****Locked**** and SOFF still.
I did a few more trys at the RUU, after redownloading multiple copys from different sources, same results, even tried to get the revo tool to pick up my phone during one of the flashes but it couldnt detect it.
At this point i called rogers.....asked about getting a replacment they said come in but i knew once they saw SOFF they wouldnt go for it.
The extraction failing on the RUU was what got me thinking that maybe by some chance there wasnt enough room on the SD card to complete the update? Which didnt make sense cause i had over 2g free space. Just for the hell of it, i popped out the SD, put it in my laptop, did a basic quick reformat of it.....then put in back in my phone.
The plan was to try the Ruu one last time but as soon as i hit the power button my phone started with a normal HTC logo, with no !!!!....followed by the rogers splash screen and right into the set up of the phone. Everything was back like the very 1st day i had it, even had the spiderman game. Not sure exactly why it worked, but maybe if you try something similar you can get yours back as well, hope this helps a bit.
