Can anyone help me..?
I have exactly the same problem dude...
I found a solution for my problem, maybe it can help you aswell?
My goal was to have a rooted EVO 3D with LeeDroid's Custom ROM on it.
1.) Use HTC Super Tool v3 to root your phone! (Just follow the on-screen steps)
2.) Download Rom Manager from the market and install CWM Recovery
3.) Now you can flash a custom ROM on your device
---------------------------------------------------------------
You still have have the same Hboot version and S-on (I tried to attempt S-Off with super tool, but i got an error message)
but your phone is rooted and you have CWM on it!
Guys guys download the ruu from the stickies in dev forum for your device run it will downgrade your bootloader to 1.49.007 then root with HTC supertool then allowing you to unlock bootloader with rev rather than htcdev so you can lock it again without the relock sign means if you want to go back to stock re run ruu takes out cwm then take the ota update back to stock locked bootloader not relocked did post a thread about this but as usual I just get ingnored

I downloaded this file "PG86IMG" than I put it on my sd-card and I tried to install it with hboot. No change at all, maybe I have to relock the bootloader?
Or is there another way to "install" the RUU?

Dear all,
First of all, this is not my work. This is just a compilation of all the information i have obtained from various threads and the members of XDA. I claim no credit but just wanted to write this for all who wishes to get back to stock ROM (like myself) either for Backup purposes or Warranty cases. Using the HTC method to unlock the bootloader has given me hell such as Wifi error and stuffs. So here it is
Special thanks to Monx for showing me the idea on how to do this.
1. Create a Goldcard (use a spare Micro SD in the phone after formatting with FAT 32) and follow the instructions below
http://www.addictivetips.com/mobile/how-to-make-gold-card-for-htc-desire-hd/
* Instructions may be for Desire HD but it can be used too for our EVO
* Only Procedure 3 is different as all u need to do is use the Goldcard helper
App to copy the Reverse CID to clipboard
2. RELOCK your Bootloader (STEP 14) if its unlocked using HTC method below
http://www.htcdev.com/bootloader/unlock-instructions/page-4
3. Download your original RUU ROM from here
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1208485
4. Extract the ROM.ZIP file from the RUU ROM that you downloaded
One method of doing this is here
http://lukasz.szmit.eu/2010/04/extracting-rom-files-from-htc-android.html
5. Once you have copied out the ROM.zip file, rename it to PG86IMG.zip
6. Copy this PG86IMG.ZIP file into the Root directory on your GOLDCARD
7. Power down your phone and with the Goldcard still in
8. Go into Bootloader (Hold POWER + Vol Down)
9. Phone will auto detect the PG86IMG.ZIP, extract and then ask permission to flash. Select "YES" ....or course
10. Once its done...you got your STOCK ROM back. However your bootloader will still show "RELOCKED"
Buy me a COKE or a mere THANKS if you find this useful
Thanks for the great tutorial

Thank you m8
Do you have list of CID? I think its possible to change, lets say for example, from UK CID to GER CID to be able to get OTA updates and other things.
Correct me if I'm wrong, but I don't think goldcarding is required for this.
Maybe just a fastboot command?
fastboot oem writecid 11111111

excellent!
But where is instruction for re-lock bootloader?
(10. Once it’s done...you got your STOCK ROM back. However your bootloader will still show "RELOCKED")
Still "RELOCKED" we wanted show "locked"
Thanks
Are u sure we can claim the warranty if the bootloader shows RELOCKED?

Did you use Revolution to get S-Off ? Not sure if running it again gives you the option. Afraid I didn't get the privilege to test this method as Revolutionary did does not support my bootloader yet
Yep revolutionnary...

So did you retry Revolutionary to see if its reversible?
Another suggestion is to just run the RUU to see what happens
I think that if you flash the RUU, then you have S-ON (it shows LOCKED), but if i remember well, it shows also revolutionary in the recovery. I did that almost a month ago, so i cant remember only if it shows revolutionary or not. For the S-ON (Locked) i am sure
What if i dont have mmc2? i only have mmc0 and mmc1 =/
Just create as per default

Did you create the Goldcard correctly?
Btw...if your phone is not unlocked..why not just try running the RUUXXXX.exe ?
Yes , I am sure i have created the gold card correctly .
And I try to lunch the rXXX.exe directly but it is failed . Because the program for the middleast edition phones .

I want to root my htc evo 3d with HBOOT 1.49.0009 and unlocked bootloader so pls help me to root my device
Head over to HTC dev and sign up after that read the instruction and then began the unlocking of your bootloader and after your done with that you need to install a custom recovery preferably revaluationary and once that is done you need to install the Su files this what you need to gain root better known as super user and once your done with that guess what your phone is rooted and then boot the phone into recovery and back it up incase something go's wrong once the back up is done reboot the Evo 3D and flash Lee's ROM and if every thing go's well now you began the down grading of your hboot from 1.49.009 to 1.49.008 or 1.49.007 it is a post in the development section that will have all the radio's and the ruu's files and look for files that has the hboot number's as stated above and this file should be placed in the root folder of your sd card and then boot into bootloader and let it find the file and oh buy the way make sure the file says PG86IMG.zip when it finds the file it will ask you would you like to update press vol up for yes and set back and let it do its thing when it is finished it will reboot and your done and you will have hboot 1.49.007 or 1.49.008 depending on which ruu file you downloaded and now your ready alpharevolutionary.io and this is where you go to s-off the Evo 3D please read very carefully before doing any of this oh and one other thing have a note pad be side you and write down every single step because you will be doing again sometime in the future and it will help someone els that may need it good luck

I've been doing this **** for well over 2 yrs now and im either having a serious brain fart of perhaps this hasn't been entirely, exactly discussed yet .... I have googled til the cows come home and can't find an answer.
Im on hboot 1.50 with S-on bootloader is unlocked through HTC Dev
I want to flash the new i.c.s. PG86IMG.zip that Freeza (the one without the new 1.57 hboot) just put out to go along with the ICS ruu that Virtuous has put out however I know that I cannot just put the pg86img on my sd card and flash it by holding down the - volume button and power through bootloader....
MUST i relock my bootloader, ruu it back to stock and then go about it doing that way OR is there a way that I can use commands to flash the PG86IMG.zip file?????
Help would be greatly appreciated.
EDIT: I just relocked my bootloader, RUU'd it back so now I have a relocked bootloader, with hboot 1.50 S-on and when I take my battery out, put it back in- hold down vol down while pressing power....then it scans and finds the pg86img.zip but it does not offer me a chance to install the pg86img I'd REALLY appreciate some input here. Thanks.
I was too lazy/tired to downgrade so I just wiped and flashed just to see what would happen and it worked. After it booted, it was stuck on the HTC setup so I pulled the battery and rebooted it. I'm on Hboot 1.50 with S-ON.
I cannot for the life of me get the PG86IMG.zip file flashed.... i've PM'd a few different dev's but heard nothing back yet.
Man you should have atleast unlocked your bootloader first see if you can boot in to boatloader and fastboot USB if so then you can correct the problem

And no you don't need to relock to install a ruu if your unlocked when you run the ruu it will relock it for you

did you flash in hboot or through recovery?
did it re-lock your phone?
Question is your boatloader locked
Sent from my HTC EVO 3D X515m using xda premium
You will have to unlock your boatloader again through HTC dev if you still have the unlock token then you don't have to redownload it just use the one you have see if that works

Holly ****t i think I see what's happening your in a bootloop and it is possible that the boot.IMG didn't flash properly

And since your s on you will need to unlock your bootloader and then flash revolutionary version of cwm and then flash a Rom like lee droid that way you will rooted but you will still have s on this is where you should have started in the beginning

This is such an annoying issue. I can run an ruu.exe such as RUU_Shooter_S_Sprint_WWE_2.17.651.5_Radio_1.06.00.1216_NV_NV_spcs_1.42_release_233304_signed_2.exe and go back to stock without any problems, I can unlock my bootloader, I can "root" the phone, even though I am on hboot 1.50 with S-ON the problem is no matter how many ways I try to flash
PG86IMG_Shooter_ICS_35_S_Sprint_WWE_VM_1.13.652.1_Radio_1.06.00.0426_NV_1.53_144_release_259069_signed.zip that Football sent me, I cannot get it install it after it scans and finds it -renamed to PG86IMG (.zip) it always goes back to hboot and says:
CID incorrect!
Update Fail!
Press <POWER> to reboot.
If it was me I would just root

Depending upon which DEV i've spoken to, i've been told to try this that and the other and lol nothing works. I dont get it. I've been told to go back entirely to stock unrooted; that didn't work. Been told to root it, that didn't work.
I never had any problems flashing roms using htc dumlock but the problem is, the file I am trying to flash is not one that can be flashed through CWM/TWRP, only by being renamed PG86IMG and being started through hboot.
any other suggestions? hell i'll try em all!
I would go back to stock and start from scratch

i'll end up most likely having to wait, like everyone else for the .exe file to be released

oh and you need to change your cid number to HTC__001 and it will work
With HTC unlock, you cant flash radios (freeza's zip) & splash screens that are part of those custom PG86IMG zips. The only way to flash an Ruu is to have stock recovery/relocked and to flash the same or newer fw version (2.08, 2.17, etc).
I'm not 100% sure but the ics leak version is 1.13 which may not pass the version check.
I've read some posts that indicate an hboot 1.4 downgrade for S-off is required as things sit right now. Definitely changing daily though.

To further reiterate, S-ON means you do not have permissions to certain partition of the phone to flash radios, or flash kernels/roms without the 1.5 fastboot workarounds. The firmware freeza has, requires access to that certain partition. So without s-off (1.4) you cannot flash the firmware/radio for ICS.
hey i had tried to root my phone but i could install a recovery since i have hboot 1.49.0018 so i tried downgrading the hboot so i needed to relock my phone since i had already unlocked it then i starting intalling the PG86IMG.zip that failed and i found out it was because i had the wrong CID now when i go back into fastboot is says fastboot AC and the computer wont recognise it and i cant seem to find a solution can anyone help me ?
Hi.u have to relock ur bootloader first and followed by installing the stock Rom. U can search ur shipped Rom collection in our xda site. The shipped Rom collection or also known as ruu file is the file that u should download and install after u relock.
Hope that helped u.

Pls I'll be so glad if I can find some help.
You're already S-Off, why are you trying to unlock via htcdev.com?? To unlock via htcdev.com (which is not a complete unlock, unlike S-Off) then you have to be on the newest bootloader version. HBOOT-0.89.0007. I thought there was actually a link to the little RUU update that is just for the bootloader on the bottom of the walkthrough @ htcdev? It's been awhile since I played with one, but I'm sure it was there. If not, I can upload it. I am sure it's hanging around somewhere. But yea, unless you relocked it and stayed S-Off, all the htcdev stuff would not be needed.
Exactly as stated above
If there is an engineering bootloader for your phone you should get that as well, if I'm not mistaken the proper way of rooting your device is to exploit it with gfree, similar to the vision a phone I used for a long time, all info should be in the xda wiki to see if greed was used to exploit and how to flash the eng hboot

So pls how do I update to the latest hboot 0.89.0007 or how else can I unlock the bootloader and root?
What do you mean? It's the very beginning of the steps on how to unlock @ htcdev.com (and the RUU is there, just like I mentioned earlier). Are you certain that you need to do this? It seems like you have not done much research and might be getting yourself into more work than is needed.
so pls can I flash custom rom just with my s-off
Yes, you just need a custom recovery such as twrp, cwm, 4ext
But what you should do is go to the xda wiki or cyanogen wiki and follow the steps for rooting, these guides will give you true radio s-off, an engineering bootloader and a custom recovery so you can easily flash ROMs and easily fix your phone if issues come about
To answer you directly, yes you should be able to flash custom ROMs as is, but having to ask that questions makes me think you should read more about your device or the next thread you make will probably ask for help fixing a brick
