Hello all , well I had it working great, used the HTC unlock procedure, because i`m at 1.50 HBOOT S-ON "Unlocked" ... installed the manual recovery, then flashed it with FRESH 4.1 for 3D, it seemed fine, then I got into installing apps...... and it glitched on me and went into this reboot cycle....
Guess I did`nt wipe it right or something, because all it will do is turn on and say "FRESH" then reboot and does the same.....
I downloaded the stock RUU and it fails says" error recovery failed" I have tried everything and spent hours on this 1....
Is there anyone out there with a Nandroid Backup file ?
is that what I need ? i`m screwed here....
ANY guidance would be greatly appreciated

You can't run a RUU if your still unlocked you have to relock your phone to do that..
What you need to do is place a copy of your recovery.img in your adb folder
plug your phone into the computer start adb.
Go to hboot...
Now type fastboot boot recovery.img
now wipe everything other then your sd card and then flash rom your good to go...

I never make backups lol waste of space to me lol... I use clockwork mod 4.0 version works for me all the time... Whatever you are using as a recovery just make sure you have a copy of the recovery.img by recovery I mean the program you flashed the rom with put that img in your adb folder
Use adb to fastboot boot recovery.img
This method saves you from having to pull the boot.img from the rom each time you flash..
Ever get this fixed? Seems like a noob mistake but could be easily avoided taking the proper precautions.

ok so i reverted back to stock to fix an issue i was having, it worked fine
but then i tried to flash a new version of speed rom to test it out, but then i forgot i need 4EXT to flash my rom
i wiped everything, and since my rom couldn't be flashed im stuck without a rom
ok, simple right? i just flash 4EXT and restore
but i didnt have an unlocked bootloader (even though i have S-OFF an unlocked bootloader is necessary) so i unlocked it, but i didnt have a rom when i unlocked it so i couldnt reboot
so know i cant flash a new recovery because it wont stick,
so i cant use any recovery, and i cant boot up either :/
is there a way to get out of this without going back to the RUU?
Did u try flashing cwm and seeing if that would stick... Just until u can get back running?

What are you using to flash the recovery? If you're trying to do it via fastboot commands it won't stick, trust me, I tried, use hasoon's tool, that seems to stick, oddly enough I switched out one of the image files with 4EXT but it still doesn't stick, anyways use the tool and flash cwm, restore then you can install 4EXT via recovery updater once you've got yourself a booted rom.

Question: Why don't you want to go back to the RUU?
The only thing I can think of is trying to extract your nandroid backups and then flash the stuff from the backups through fastboot. Don't ask me how to convert the data.ext4.tar and system.ext4.tar into an img file, I do not know how to do that, sorry :/
But if you do figure out how to convert them, flash them as follows:
fastboot flash userdata data.img
fastboot flash system system.img
fastboot flash boot boot.img
fastboot reboot
If you're lucky, you may be able to boot up, and then after that, reflash the recovery.
Alternatively, you could try
fastboot erase recovery
then
fastboot flash recovery recovery.img
and see if that sticks
(DO NOT TRY THIS IF YOU DON'T HAVE AN ENG BOOTLOADER, AS IT MAY NOT ALLOW YOU TO FLASH THE RECOVERY)
That's all I can think of right now. I'll try to come up with more ideas later.
i tried all of the above
i dont want to reflash the stock RUU -_-, i have to many files to transfer
U may not have a choice.
Either way... U should know that your phone isn't bricked dude... It turns on.

If you have the ruu you should be able to replace the recovery.img(or at least remove the one in it) and remove the hboot image, that way you won't have to reflash eng hboot.. I can find the link to the original leak that I flashed, but they simply took out the recovery and hboot image from the zip- it saves some steps.
As much time as you've probably spent doing everything else you probably could have done it 3 times already! LOL. I love you man. Haha.

You don't have a card reader, or some old phone that can connect by usb? You only need it on the external - I have a feeling that is why it goes on the external, the phone may not boot into anything, but you can alter the external without it.
And I think there is a fastboot push command or something like that, isn't there?

OH YEA. I forgot that was part of why I decided those phones suck. If they had removable battery and sdcard.. oh well. you're screwed.
So right now you don't have eng hboot flashed right? Because that is the ONLY reason that you can't flash recovery or other things with fastboot commands - if you don't, flash that, then you can flash recovery that will stick, then you can reboot into recovery, adb push the file you need, or restore a nandroid.. Just sayin.
no i have always had ENG hboot, and im unlocked,i dunno why it doesnt stick
Open cmd. Put ruu file in same directory where the cmd is running.
Fastboot oem rebootRUU
Fastboot flash zip (ruu filename here).zip
Wait until it completes. You may have to do it twice. After that's done, you'll have a stock rom.
Boot into it and then load up the eng hboot to the sdcard, rename it to PH85img.zip or whatever is correct, then reboot into bootloader, let it flash.
After all that is done, you should have an eng hboot. The next step would be to flash a custom recovery. I'll let you do the rest.

Recovery
Yes I can get into recovery without a problem. I just can't figure out what rom to flash and exactly how to do it? I know this is probably very simple but I'm lost and can't seem to figure out how to flash a rom. I was told if I flash a gsm one by mistake I could brick my phone so I'm looking for any tutorials I can find. Thanks for your quick response.

I will try and write you a little tutorial real quick, ok the rom that I would flash this one, chubbzlou sense 4 rom which you can download here and you will need to flash a good recovery, I would recommend team wins recovery you can download that here and the easiest way to flash that recovery image would be to rename it to "recovery.img" without the quotes obviously and put it in your adb folder ya know with your fastboot.exe and your adb files, and then boot into your boot loader select fastboot and type fastboot flash recovery recovery.img and it will say like "sending recovery, successfully written recovery" then power off your device and boot back in to the bootloader, then select recovery and it will boot into team wins amazing recovery, then what you need to do is also download a super wipe from here and basically once you are booted into recovery select mount and then "mount usb storage" make sure you have your usb cable connected to your phone at this point and then your computer will recognize your phone and then move the rom and the super wipe onto your phone, next step after the rom and super wipe have fully transferred then unmount it from your pc and then click "install" in the team win recovery, then select the superwipe zip and then you will have the option to add another zip, select the sense4 rom zip and then do the swipe to flash, they will both finish after a bit and then reboot your device and you will be good to go, hopefully I helped
Has anyone seen Negalite Bluerom R122 or higher for download?
What is the link?
thanks hossman; I fixed my phone by flashing a rom from hboot 1.57.5757 with 4EXT which works great
The 1.50.5050 should work
Put the ROM.zip on your SD
Make a backup through 4ext first
Wipe all except SD card
Reboot recovery
Wipe again
Flash ROM
Reboot phone
Should boot fine

Has anyone seen Negalite Bluerom R122 or higher for download?

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.

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!

you have to be on twrp 2.2.2 older versions dont play nice
so hey guys. just got an evo, and did the regaw root method where it unlocks the loader using HTcunlocker. and it also installed the twrp. i downloaded the cm10 zip and threw it on a sd card.
I put the sd card in, and went and booted into recovery mode... all good. locate zip on the external sd card, and when i try and install it, it fails first step... any suggestions what to do.
I read around and noticed you need s off to do anything that has its own kernel.
seems my hmode is like 1.5 or something so i cant do the s-off. I need to downgrade it. No problem.
bad thing is in the recovery i went to do a wipe facory reset, and now when i try and boot to system it says NO OS found! haha i power it down and back on, and it says no os found!
I cant use an RUU or downgrade tool because i cant boot up and into debugging,
i know you clever people can help me out a bit, right?! i miss my epic 4g slider
EDIT STILL NEED HELP please and thank you in advance

Pay attention to the S-On part of that article. You have to flash the kernel separately with S-On. Also there is now a method of downgrading in order to achieve S-Off. It can be found in the original development subsection.
it seems like i downloaded a RUU with 1.3, but the problem is, it says it cant connect to the phone. i didnt install any drivers or anything. so point blank, since this was a newer phone, I need to download a livecd of linux in order to get this thing to boot to anything other then the white htc screen or twrp?
You need to get into twrp by holding power and volume down . Once there wipe everything except storage. Then mount USB and copy/paste a Rom from your pc to your phone. Pull the boot IMG first and place where your adb/fastboot files are.
Flash the Rom, when its done boot into bootloader from recovery and then fasyboot flash the boot IMG
There are detailed instructions on how to do these steps all over XDA
Hope you get it up and running
I don't know if you need those drivers you talked about. If you wanted to be sure about having the correct drivers you could install HTC sync on your pc.

ok so go into twrp. then from my rom zip file, youre saying to pull out the boot.img and place in the fastboot folder (not sure)
then flash the whole zip file of the rom (with or without the boot.img that i copied) and then you say boot into bootloader and than fastboot flash the boot.img? im kinda lost right there
So As i just woke up and ready to try again with this bastard phone, can you link me to something stating how to actually flash a rom using s-on htcunlock? or just how and where you put the boot img and where the fastboot folder is etc.
Best thing to do probably is read om4's guide in the Q&A section. Its stickyed or maybe download flash image gui. The app explains the process. Its any easy solution for s-on folks.
Sorry i cant explain in detail how to fastboot flash the boot img but all the info easily found on xda.
Sent from my EVO using xda premium
So when i try to send the image using fastboot, i do fastboot devices, and then i try and send. it says sending, but will stay there infinitely. I cant find a thread that talks about it locking up during the file transfer
Maybe I'm missing something here but couldn't he put a rom like meanROM ,that has the s-on kernel installer built in, onto his sd card (assuming he has one) and install it from TWRP just so he has a working phone? Then he could properly research how to get CM10 installed and running.
