is this possible i have a flash bin from asop that i got from my og evo that works for .img files like recovery i cant flast anything through fast boot always errors out and i cant flash kernals through recovery they dont stick. im on the 2.08 stock rom revolutionary s-off 1.50 hboot was told if im s-off hboot number doesnt matter for kernal flash only if unlocked through htc. if i use other rims kernal will stick through recovery. i dont know why i cant flash through hboot unless its because i dont have eng bootloader. so are there terminal commands i can use. any help would be appreciated. by the way revolutionary errored out on me too but still got me s-off without branded hboot. thank you
Wow, there are a couple things I'd like to see addressed here.

Hey guys. A while back my phone got screwed up I had to flash the ruu to get it going again. Originally I was on hboot 1.4 rooted/s off via revoked. After I updated with the ruu for the newer radio it now has hboot 1.5 but still says s off. I wasn't able to flash a Rom via clockwork or twrp. So I have a stock Rom without root and I can't figure out where to go from here.
Any ideas?

don't know for sure but IMO you will have to unlock via HTC dev.com, then you will be able to flash anything like you did before . And to root your ROM, just flash a zip file containing superuser apk and binary after doing the above steps.
Also you can revert back to hboot 1.4 ( don't know how exactly ) but don't follow the downgrade thread by unknownforce as you are already s-off
S-Off supercedes being locked. You should still be able to flash roms and have superuser. I was on unlocked on 1.4 with s-off and went to 1.5 showing locked but with s-off and everything still flashes and superuser works fine.
s-off should allow you to do as you please with your phone.. you should still be able to flash w/e recovery you want and w/e rom you want w/o fastboot into recovery..
having s-on in 1.5 is a pain.. but if you already have s-off.. you can just as easily flash back down to 1.4 or even to 1.04 the eng hboot..
but once you're s-off, which you already are, you can do as you please with your device.. you don't need htc dev for it..
EDIT: you might just have to reflash your recovery.. use fastboot flash recovery recovery.img and then boot into it... recovery.img has to be in the same folder as your adb and fastboot files..
on so i dont know if i need to have s-off i used "hasoon 2000s htc amaze 4g all in one kit" to load cwm and i know have root access and unlock hboot now when i go in to hboot it says on top unlocked but the it says
"ruby pvt ship s-on rl"
hboot-1.93.0002
emmc-boot
my question is if i want to load a custom rom on it will it need s-off

you dont need to be s-off to load a custom rom. s-off is just recently available and people have been flashing roms for a very long time on the amaze. s-off allows you to change you splash screen as well as other things. you should still be able to flash a rom being s-on
You with need to change to 4ext recovery if you're son, clockwork mod cannot flash kernels while s-on, unless you know how to use fast boot to do it manually.

The manual method you mention is just renaming the file and putting in on the external SD card, then going into fastboot, right? I am S-On, and I simply flashed the leaked ICS ROM using that method.
EDIT: I've considered 4ext, but since my CWM is working fine, I haven't switched. Is there some good reason I should change to 4ext?

The manual method is to flash the kernel via fastboot using adb. The reason I said 4EXT is because it's the only recovery that flashes kernels while s-on, I said that in my previous post.
Ah, thanks.
Amaze 4G S-On on HTC ICS ROM
HI,
I am not able to make S-OFF. I am on HTC leaked ICS ROM and I want to go back to Stock ROM of ICS. Can I go back on Stock ROM or something stable and better on ICS without having S-OFF and bricking the phone.
Regards,
Allahbaksh
So your on a Rom or the ruu because the leaked ruu is a stock rom

Hey guys,
So the last time I flashed ROMs was before the ICS update rolled out for the EVO3D. I want to start playing with the new ICS roms, but I'm not quite sure on how to proceed. I was hoping for some instruction. Here's what I have:
JBear Hboot (so S-OFF)
HBOOT - 1.50.5050
RADIO - 1.06.00.1216 (also S-OFF)
Any help would be much appreciated. Thank you
In my impatience, I flashed a stock ICS RUU.exe. I now have HBOOT 1.58 (but not JBear - I believe it is still S-OFF). However, when I try to access Recovery, I get an image of a black phone with a red triangle with an exclamation mark inside of it. Help!
your recovery is wiped. flash it again.
btw what does your bootloader say? s-off? if you're s-on then unlock bootloader then flash recovery

You're fine. Since you are S-OFF you just need to download and flash a custom bootloader and then reflash your recovery via the "fastboot flash recovery recovery.img" command, then you can flash or restore a rooted ROM.
The stock 1.58 bootloader you have now won't let you run that fastboot command without doing the htc unlock, and the custom bootloader is a better choice. Once you unlock the bootloader, it will show "***RELOCKED***" instead of "***LOCKED***" if you return to stock, and that flags to HTC/Sprint that your phone has been unlocked. You could also flash a custom recovery using a PG86IMG.zip file if that's easier.
BTW, the next time you start a thread with a question it should be in the Q&A forum.

Thanks for the help, ramjet (and for your post on how to change hboot when S-OFF)! I thought I did post this in Q/A - sorry! If a mod could move this thread there, that would be great.
I think my problems should be solved, but I'll post again if I run into any problems. Thanks again
Thanks for taking the time. I've been working at fixing this for hours now, and to no avail. I was following the instructions found here (http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1808332&highlight=reboot) ...but the short of it was I was upgrading my Hboot so that I could flash a JB ROM. Here's where the problem is, I have no recovery. When I try to access my 4EXT from fastboot, it shows a picture of a phone lying down with the app update symbol (an arrow pointing down with two or three, cant remember right now, around it) over it. Then after a short while it is replaced by a picture of a phone with an exclamation in a triangle. When I try to load a new recovery with SDK it says FAILED (remote: not allowed). I also tried loading back to Hboot 1.50, still nothing. If it matters, my phone came with 1.50.
I greatly appreciate any advice. Here's my current setup.
CDMA Evo 3d
Hboot 1.58 locked S-OFF
Radio 1.09.00.0706
Software 2.89.651.2 710RD
I would download the zip from here: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1889438
Then lock the bootloader in fastboot using fastboot oem lock. Run the ruu.exe to put your phone at stock (you'll still be s-off). Hopefully phone will boot.
You would then flash whichever hboot and recovery you want and flash a ROM.
No worries, all the stock hboots (if not unlocked using htcdev) won't allow you to use fast boot to flash recovery/boot partition even though you are s-off.
You can use a custom hboot like revolutionary / juopunutbears / eng hboot to use those commands. To flash another hboot, and just download the respective PG86IMG.zip and put it on the root of sdcard.
OR
If you current ROM is rooted, go to 4ext.net and download the free version and use it to install 4ext recovery on your phone or use flash image gui by joeykrim to flash recovery.
Those two apps will work on any hboot but your ROM should be rooted.
Hope this helps...
How did I know Coal would come to my rescue. Well after more work, and your great advice, I got it working again. The trick was I needed a JBear Hboot zip. Thanks again Coal, you are a legend.
Edit: Thanks mnomaanw, we posted that at the same time hahaha.

You keep the recovery. You have to wipe all except SD though and make sure your ur ROM is compatible with the ROM your currently running.
recovery is wiped when you run an RUU (or a PG86IMG file which contains the stock recovery).
basically it depends which method you use to s-off. Wire trick doesnt touch recovery.But if you are attempting a downgrade method which involves running an RUU you will lose 4EXT recovery. But its pretty easy to flash 4EXT again. just a single command in cmd ( or just install their app and let it do it for you)
Wire trick is the best way to downgrade and it's really easy. I recommend you giving it a try.
