If anyone on this forum really feels like helping me out and do what they are supposed to do on this forum ... HELP , and not making fun of a Noob, please do, and i might even just give you a little $$ if you help me through this.
i have tried RUU. It gives me the option to Image Upgrade 1.20.631.3 down to 1.20.631.2. i end up getting an error [155] download correct Rom Update Utility?

I don't know much about GSM phones... Is the phone already activated....
My guess would be you need a recovery on it and wipe and flash a rom... Sounds like your stuck in hboot or the old rom didn't take and it is bootlooping.. I don't think you can use a RUU if your phone is unlocked it would have to be relocked to use one....

Thanks for the reply.
So your saying I should relock hboot then try RUU? The phone is activated through rogers.

You could do that I would first try to use adb and put a recovery on it tho.... If you can flash a recovery to the phone....
Then wipe and flash a rom you want you should be fine... I would try this before relocking....
OK. I will try this later td.

The recovery wouldn't work, so i re-locked and used the rogers RUU and the device is back to stock and working like new!

This is a stock rooted EU Shooter 1.20.401.2 ROM (odex) to use as a base for everyone. This was extracted directly from the RUU.
The only MODS made to this were that it has been ROOTED and ZIPALIGNED.

With S-ON, no you can't.
But is this a way to root your evo3d? Or am i mistaken?
no this is pre-rooted rom. If you had a custom Recovery you could flash it. There is no way for the most of us yet, wait a little bit revolutionary Team is working on it already.
how'd you know that they are working?

Hi,
Would you be able to do the same for RUU_Shooter_U_hTC_Asia_WWE_1.22.707.2_Radio_10.55.9020.00_10.13.9020.29_M_release_207422_signed.
I have flashed the Europe ROM by Virtuous Shooter and have Wifi Error. Need to revert back to Asia ROM deperately to get back the original ROM.
I cannot use the original Asia RUU to revert back as halfway thru it will give me error on device. I suspect this is due to using HTCdev bootloader unlock method
Got a question, if I got a euro EVO 3d then if i root and flash a different radio will it pick up different signals to better support it here in the USA or am I just stuck on edge??. If not is there any software adjustments that can be made to make it pick up at least 3g??

Same here,have this recovery installed:
http://goo-inside.me/shooteru/clockworkmod
I tried now the Virtuous Shooter v.1.0.2 ROM with the same recovery
which I mentioned one post above.There are no problems!
Maybe something wrong with the "updater-script" at the ROM from this
thread.
Thanks Flashmaniac
why i dont can install this ROM?
im on the same Base, using GSM Evo and Clockwork.
Hi Guys,
I just got my EVO 3d Today. Am really excited needless to say.
Ive managed to unlock the boot loader using the official HTC Bootloader unlock tool(Since my software version was 1.20). Now it says unlocked but still has "S ON". Been going crazy for hours now trying to root it. Even tried going into recovery but just get an error symbol.
Would appericiate if anyone can tell me how to go about it or point me in the right direction.
Thanks in advance.

easiest way to fix it is to download the stock root 2.3.3 in the devolpement thread and it will give u root after u flash it mape sure u data/wipe and dalvik wipe its in advanced if u need anymore help just pm me

Thanks for the input. The problem is that i can't go into recovery. Every time i try i get a Red Triangle with an !.
I have ONLY used the HTC Dev unlock method and nothing else. Do i need to do/install something more in order to go into recovery?
Just use the revolutionary tool to get s-off and root it would be your best bet now i was helping a friend do it the other day and he. Messed but i have a fix if after u do it u get s-off but not root if u need me to help u will going through doing I can but u will have to wait a few hour I am about to go to.

Totally lost here.
Umm... you need to flash a recovery through fast boot...the red triangle means you don't have one... also if you are unlocked push su through adb and you should have root. I never used HTC official unlock but have rooted several phones... after you unlock the bootloader you push su and flash a recovery

from my understanding, once you use the htc unlock method you can't get s-off for now, until theres an exploit found. I followed a vid on htcevohacks.com and got mine rooted using 2.3.4 but I stil have s-on... not sure if it even matters because i can still go into recovery and flash roms.

Unfortunately its for software number 2.08.651.2 and above. Im on 1.20.401.2. Even when i click on check for updates it says device is up to date.
So basically this method can't work for me .
Guys issue resolved. Even though my device was initially unlocked using HTC Official unlock method i just ran revolution, followed the steps and now I'm unlocked AND rooted by revolution. Just wanted to share that.

Frist you will need to downgrade to HBOOT 1.49.1107 and then S-OFF your phone.. just rooting it does not help.!!
Just follow this to downgrade :

and this for S-off:

(SCROLL DOWN until you see : S-OFF & ROOT)
Keep in mind that in order to do downgrade you need to relock your phone and when its time to S-OFF it you need to unlock it again ! good luck!
Or if you want to flash Rom S-ON, I think you I'll manually have to flash boot.img using fastboot and then everything should be fine, according to me !

He's s-off, no need to relock the bootloader, did you think about getting info on the device first before just saying restore to stock? Get his experience level as well, if he got stuck on this, probably clueless on basic stock restoration.

Anyways on to the individual at hand.
What's your device info? Like hboot version, what android version were you on before trying to flash? ICS or GB?
Here's a basics run down on how to get things going again.
There's a stock ruu/ota thread in the dev section, grab the stock GB ruu for your device, put your phone into fastboot mode (check in the amaze bible thread how to do this), restore your device, if it's a zip file for your carrier, rename it to PH85IMG and place it on your sd card, reboot into bootloader and then hit volume up to restore the stock ruu.
If it's an exe file, put it into fastboot and run the exe file, follow all steps and restore the device.
Once done, update to ICS via the software update option available on your device under settings>about phone>software update
Once you're on ICS, flash a custom recovery via hasoon's tool, then reflash the rom you were trying to flash in the beginning.
Ask any further questions right here.

Yas4 v11 does not need the S-ON, so I've got one thing less to think about, and that's the only thing I actually know...should I root the device? ( don't think so ) Still I think I should install a recovery right?...please gimme some basic steps and I'll wreck my mind into it, I don't really want to be a disturbance.

First of all, the rom itself is rooted so when you flash you will have root. This does not require S-OFF because it is based on stock ics. To do the procedure you have to unlock your bootloader through the htc.com website and have the fastboot drivers and files on your pc to flash the unlock code binary. There are plenty of guides showing how to do it, just a registration on the site and follow the steps to unlock it (ps: you will loose all the personal data on your phone, eg:factory reset. SD card won't be affected) After this part is done you will see ***UNLOCKED*** on the top of the bootloader of your phone, good luck

Yeah weird, you got it second hand? You could bypass the unlock from htc because of S-OFF, nevermind. So you can install any custom rom out there, remember that using any aosp rom you will loose the 3D recording (taking video/pictures). What's your hboot version? To install 4ext on your mobile you can download it here and flash it through fastboot mode. "fastboot flash recovery 4EXT_Recovery_Touch_v1.0.0.6_RC1.img" is the command. Change the recovery name to a smaller one for easier use.

In order to install aosp roms you have to downgrade your hboot. If you want to downgrade it is very easy. I can explain it to you if you want.

So Aosp rom is equivalent to custom rom...
Whould this be allright?:
Downgrade to BL 1.49
Quote:
►►Now to downgrade bootloader to 1.49....
►►Remember that PG86IMG.zip file?
►Put it on the root of your sdcard (so don't put it inside any folder)
►Boot to Hboot->Fastboot-> bootloader
►Press BOOTLOADER button...
►Now we wait until the installation is finished... of course, press YES when it says so.
►►You're now on bootloader 1.49, S-OFFed, and with a custom recovery...
If not please explain
