I'm on CDMA Evo 3d with hboot 1.5 S-ON, unlocked bootloader via HTC METHOD, & on software 2.17. I'm not near a computer so I can't use adb etc & I don't even know how to do that. I've tried several ways to do this from bootloader! I tried renaming the TWRP to PG86IMG.zip & it told me "main version older, press power to reboot now" several times. I tried clockworkmod as PG86IMG.zip & it says "parsing" but nothing ever happens. People say these worked for them but it hasn't at all for me. Could any of you expert rooters help me please so I can use custom rom? I been stock for too damn long since OG EVO Launch when I had one! Much appreciated & I'll thank

FYI...http://www.teamw.in/project/twrp2/67 - Use the Download Image Method since you are on hboot 1.5.

There are definitely a few options and a few things to be aware of.
HTC official unlock does NOT unlock kernel/boot write access while in the custom recovery mode. Still is helpful to flash the custom recovery as all other features will work from recovery mode, just not the ability to write to the kernel/boot partition.
This means there are only two modes you can flash the kernel from, either fastboot mode (requiring a computer) or standard Android mode, for which I made a handy application, Flash Image GUI.
1) Using my application, Flash Image GUI, will allow you to flash custom kernels and also select ROM .zip files, and then load the kernel out of the ROM .zip, while then booting into recovery mode to load the rest of the ROM (system portion). My application will also allow you to flash the recovery.img or any .zip file containing the recovery .img.
2) Using the fastboot mode there are two ways to flash a kernel, both require being connected to another device, generally a computer.
2-A) fastboot boot c:\downloads\recovery.img . This command will temporary load the custom recovery with write access to the kernel partition and allow a full kernel .zip or ROM .zip to be loaded correctly.
2-B) fastboot boot c:\downloads\boot.img . This command will flash just the kernel boot.img file. The associated kernel modules, such as WiFi will not be loaded and must be loaded by the ROM .zip in the custom recovery, otherwise WiFi will not work.
HTC unlock is definitely very helpf when compared to no official option, but has a few quirks forcing us to take a few extra steps.
Hope that helps clarify a bit!
I have tried this & it says "main version older" idk what that means but it didn't work!

Flash it through flash gui you should be good to go...
Bro the only reason I haven't gotten flash img GUI is because I don't have money in my credit card. I have +$20 in my sprint account but nothing on my armed forces bank card! That's also why I haven't donated to you reaper for all your help!

Either download superusers from the market free version works fine or just click okay on it.. May need superusers from the market. Didn't have any issues.
Got it, but how do I get superuser to give them the permissions? In the app I see the "app" catergory with nothing there.
Remember, all I've done is HTC unlock to unlock bootloader. I'm still s-on with no custom recovery, if I can get that I'll be fine. I got everything you said also

This is gonna sound retarted man sorry just need to know does your hboot say unlocked at the top?
I know alot of folks were having issues when they applied the unlock code bin part using the HTC Dev way and it would say sucess but nothing would happen the phone would sit in hboot and no new screen would come up and say do you wish to unlock the bootloader.... Only way around that was to download the latest RUU exe 2.17 and use it then reapply the unlock code bin
I am trying to figure out why TWRP 2.0 was havin issues along with CWM and so I I have been swapping recoverys around on my phone all day to see if I could get the same issue you have been having...
I am running outta ideas since everything isn't wanting to flash over it's acting like the boot is still locked even tho you unlocked it.
Im hboot 1.5 S-ON
If nothing works you could try this then redo the custom recovery.. by fastboot flash.

Might be able too. PC86IMG.ZIP I just can't figure out why nothing is flashin over to your phone recovery wise...
I did the same thing took the OTA software update before I rooted and did the HTC DEV applied the unlock code and chose to unlock boot even tho said it could void my warranty. Then I downloaded TWRP 2.0 which I don't recommend using put that in my platform tools folder and fastboot flash recovery recovery.img or what ever you renamed the file tooo.
This is the recovery I was using worked fine just copy the file that is in the zip to your platform tools folder and fastboot flash recovery cwm.img
I really am tryin to figure out what is going wrong with the recoverys not wanting to flash over....
I dunno why cwm isn't flashing right..
Tried to pg86img with stock recovery & failed. When dad gets here I'll take a pic proving I unlocked with HTC method. Idk what's going on really because people say these steps worked for them & nothing has worked for me at all!

I believe you on the unlocked part. Man im just stumped on this part the way it's acting up seems like the phone is still locked....
I have been tryin to screw up mine to see if I have the same issue as you...
I am really tryin to figure this out lol.
When you did the HTC Dev method you had latest java JDK and HTC sync 3.0 I think was the latest and ADB and the tools it needs downloaded...
Also you don't have two pc86img.zip files on your SD card right?
Some of the PC86IMG.ZIP files might error or not work due to them being named PC86IMG.ZIP.ZIP
Does the computer you were using have ADB installed on it with the tools you can download when you open up SDK manager there called SDK tools or platform tools...
Since you need these to work adb and make sure debug is on in the main menu of your phone under applications development.
I dunno why superusers wouldn't flash either.. Might be something with ADB or SDK tools or Platform tools aren't downloaded. On windows 7 if your right click on your platform tools while holding down shift it will open up a quick path to adb
The stock recovery I used astro zip to zip the stock signed recovery.img. It was named stock signed recovery.zip when I zipped it. Then I renamed it to PG86IMG.zip & powered off phone. I went to bootloader & it found the file like before, said "parsing" & nothing else happens but it goes back to the bootloader highlighting fastboot. I did this several times by clicking on fastboot & then clicking bootloader so it can load the file again. Still it said "parsing" & nothing else. Like before, the only one that said something different was twrp which said "main version outdated" & the only option after that was to reboot using power button!
Also, I'm not near a computer & the super user I downloaded is from the market! I'm on hboot 1.5 unlocked WITH software 2.17. Do you think it's because the ota?

There isn't a folder on the SD card called recovery is there?
Nope there isn't. It's not a folder named recovery on the root of the SD card or on the main root of the SD card where you see the really important files & you can see the system apks etc! What does this mean?

Hey guys and gals! So i've been flashing roms and mods for a few years now since the og evo but still very much noob. I was using mean rom, updating every couple of releases. on one of them he recommended flashing ext4 recovery which i did and then flashed the rom update. Everything worked fine for about an hour then the lockring started to not want to open, i would have to drag it up 3 or 4 times real fast. then soft keys started not to work and got progresivly worse to the point now once i open something i have to reboot to get back to home screen.
Thinking it was recovery i flashed back to cwm and same thing, flashed backups made well before it started acting up and same thing. Flashed different roms still the same.
Any ideas??? Thanx for any help.
Bump. I have this same problem
Are you s-off or s-on? What hboot version are you on? This information matters because flashing incompatible roms and kernels tends to cause problems. I take it since your on ics using meanrom that your problem is more than likely a kernel and or recovery issue. 4ext recovery is the best recovery used for ics roms. It's not recommended to use clockwork mod or restore backups recoveries formatted particular recovery with a different recovery. If you are on hboot 1.58 you must flash the 1.58 kernel in the meanrom folder added to your files after installation. Make sure you do a full clean wipe before installation of rom. Wipe dalvik and cache before you flash kernel.
Please hit the thanks button if I helped you.

Try using fastboot on your pc and having your phone in fastboot type fastboot flash recovery "whatever the name of the recovery file"img
I just got a used, white HTC EVO 3D off of eBay, and it already been rooted and flashed with a custom ROM (no s-off though, as its hboot 1.5).
I flashed clockworkmod using the fastboot method, but it never goes into recovery. The Rom boots fine, its just when it goes into recovery, I get the white HTC screen, and then it reboots and goes into android. I've turned off fast boot in the settings, so I'm not sure what the issue is.

If you pull the battery and put it back, then go to hboot and select recovery and it doesn't go to recovery, then your recovery is corrupt or something, no biggie. Get flash image GUI and flash a recovery with it, or flash cwm with rom manager.
I used to have issues with certain recoveries when I had s-on, I think cwm version 4.0.1.4 was the one that worked for me.
Have you tried 4ext recovery? Link is in my Sig.
Well I have ROM manager and tried cwm 4.1.0.15 and got the same results.
Would 4ext work with any of the ics roms for the HTC EVO 3d?
Sent from my PG86100 using xda app-developers app
Yes it will. I use 4ext and am running ZREDX ICS.
Alright, that worked. Thanks for the help!

So earlier today I tried flashing the latest nightly of CM10 (12/3) onto my phone using FlashImageGUI, and, for some reason, instead of booting into the recovery which I tried through the power menu, it wouldn't go into recovery and just kept going into my boot loader, so I decided to reboot and was back into the phone. Now I'm trying to turn it off so I can go to bed and it just keep rebooting into the boot loader. I believe I'm TWRP 2.2.2.0 and I'm S-ON
Anyone have a solution to this? Also I'd just like to figure out why this won't flash through FlashImageGUI
Sent from my EVO using xda app-developers app
I would just fastboot flash twrp 2.3.1.0 IMG
Do a full wipe. And start over with cm Maybe redownload it also
Check out dirtyracoon and get the evo soff. Its very easy to run soff means no fastboot or flash image GUI for kernels

Well I had it on TWRP 2.3.0.1 and it was always doing the same thing so it may be the ROM, unless this phone is getting messed up

Hello,
I am stuck in a constant boot loop with every rom I flash. I am able to get into the stock restore menu (volume down + power) and from there boot into TWRP 1.1.1. Flashing JmzStock_VM_Shooter_Odex doesn't work as well as any custom roms. Also, RUU doesnt work either, it gets stuck on the HTC logo (silver with blackground) but the RUU fails. It just says unknown error.
It is Unlocked (or at least thats what it says in pink in ShooterXC) and is says S-ON.
Any help would be so lovely!!
You won't be able to run the ruu unless you get s off.
Are you wiping system and boot before you flash?
You may want to try flashing a boot img through fastboot

Flashing the boot.img from your currently installed ROM fixes 90% of bootloops. It is definitely the way to fix.

Is there a different way to get S-Off without booting into the OS? I've only seen the wire trick work when they have USB debugging on.
