thank you mate. all sorted.
I attempted to flash my rooted evo view back to stock using the 1.18 RUU found on this site, and it failed 3/4 way through the flash.
I was able to extract the rom.zip from the RUU, and flash back to stock 1.18 via the SD card method. The problem with this is that my device did not flash the bootloader back to stock, so I'm still left with a -Revolutionary- when booting the device into bootloader.
Is there a method to stock to flash bootloader? To make it pretty much 100% stock?
Thanks in advance!
Did you remember to relock?

Alright will do.
Just to confirm, I can put S-ON, and if I would like to, can re-root afterwards? I'm working on something and just need some little direction.
Thanks man!
yes, you'll be right back at step zero, stock, S-OFF etc and you can run revolutionary again then.

Sweet, will have to try that out.
I'm following the instructions, except when I go to extract the hboot file from the RUU.zip file, it is named "hboot_7230_1.09.0000_0504.nb0", should I just change the extension to .img and push it via ADB?
Just want to make sure before taking the plunge

Sorry just spotted this. The name is not important, just push that file and update the dd command to use that name or rename the file, whichever you find easier.

Yep, got it working, thank you very much!
I am completely lost on this simple step of the downgrade, and it's only the first step. I can put the 2.17 ruu on the SD card, boot into hboot/bootloader, phone will recognize it, scan down, and never give me the option to "update". I tried different 2.17 downloads, I tried formatting the SD card in FAT and FAT 32, the 2.17 ruu is the only file on the card, I am also assuming it has to be the zip not exe file? Anybody have a download link that worked for them? I am usually not this illiterate when it comes to this, I just want to root this phone. Oh, and I did rename it PG86IMG.zip. Any help will be greatly appreciated, as I am about to throw this phone out the window. Thanks

Your bootloader needs to be locked or relocked IMO.
Unlocked bootloader cannot update PG86IMG.zip I think.
Bootloader is locked and it is S on....

Your Evo 3D came with 2.17 or you have took the OTA?
Try running 2.17 RUU exe then the PG86IMG.zip, this worked for some. Also check the Unknownforce's second post in the downgrading hboot thread.

It should not be unzipped, you are fine as your bootloader is detecting the zip file. just check the above post.

You can extract a rom.zip (which should be renamed to PG86IMG.zip later) from an RUU.exe
You cannot make a exe from a zip.
You cannot update exe from sdcard. Only windows can run EXEs.
Can you post the download link for the 2.17 you used? What would you try first to get this to work? Still lost...

The downgrading method was kinda longer than the current one when I downgraded the hboot of my 3D. The 1st step was to temproot the phone, which never worked till I used the 2.17 RUU.exe,
Did you read the downgrade thread? There is a link to Filefactory which has all the RUUs for the EVO 3D........
Sorry I cant remember exactly which one I have used, but this one should get the job done -----------> http://www.filefactory.com/file/c19...216_NV_NV_spcs_1.42_release_233304_signed.exe
You may have to wait to download from that site . Much of the the time it says "download slots are unavailable". Or you can just google "RUU_Shooter_S_Sprint_WWE_2.17.651.5_Radio_1.06.00.1216_NV_NV_spcs_1.42_release_233304_signed.exe" and you will find tons of results for this file which you can download from anywhere you want.

If you are relocked then you need a good 2.17 zip. If you have a 2.17 exe that works than get it to load its first screen and hang it there. Go to your run command (where you go to start cmd prompt) type %temp% and find the 2.17 exe folder. *that won't be the name* it should be 400 or so mb. Find the zipped Rom in the folder. Right click it and choose send to desktop. Rename it PG86IMG put it to the root of your sd. And you are good to go. Pm me if you have more questions
from my downgraded 3EVO
I had a hard time getting mine to update a while ago.
Click start menu on windows. Type %temp% in the search bar.
Go into that folder. Delete everything that isn't being used. (All pointless stuff.)
Then close the folder.
Run the RUU and let it get to the first window.
Go back into %temp% folder. There will be 2 folders with a bunch of letters and numbers.
One of these has the rom.zip file.
Take that rename it to PG86IMG and put on root of SD card.
Worked for me.
Let us know.

Click here for a 2.17 RUU that actually works. Just make sure you rename just PG86IMG, the .zip is the type of file and it will make you pull out your hair if you follow everyone's post that tell you to name it PG86IMG.zip. I could not for the life of me find a RUU to work until the kind at the sprint store sent me a link and now it is here for you.

The file in the link is the 1.13 RUU, not the 2.17
???????????????????
What exactly are you trying to downgrade? If you are locked and s-on running 2.17 and trying to downgrade to 2.17 to gain root? Have you already been HTc dev-unlocked? IF you have, use fastboot on the computer to reflash your unlocktoken. then use the new juopantabear(something like that) to go s-off then use fastboot to flash the unlocked hboot_eng 1.4, then fastboot flash recovery.img, then boot to recovery and flash super user. if not already htc-dev unlocked do that then this
I have been screwing with my phone for over 4 days straight and I CANNOT figure anything out....Im so frustrated!!! I flashed a ROM and now I am in continuous bootloop mode. My clockwork mod is completely broke down, I can't backup my nand because it is on Amon recovery. but i can't figure out how to reinstall Amon through bootloader....since, when i restart my phone. i only get about 5 seconds to try and do anything before it bootloops.....PLEASE someone help me step by step. I need someone to comment back and stay posted on this thread for me....please I am on my last leg, I just want my phone to be rooted, a good recovery installed and thats all I'm asking for.....But the problem is, I have to do everything through bootloader because of the bootloop.....I want to get clockwork mod off my phone and reinstall Amon recovery.
Run the ruu of your choice and then while in fast boot do:
Fastboot flash recovery nameoffile.img
would you mind posting a link to a RUU for me please?? I am to the point where I don't care what ROM it is. I just wanna be able to get on my phone and get recovery working right. Thank you

no you run the ruu first and what you flash in fastboot is the recovery
flashing a recovery:
Code:
fastboot flash recovery file.img
then flash a rom
i honestly can link you to a list of ruus because there not all in one place :/
also once the file is installed onto my PC, I have to extract that file to c:\android where I have fastboot located in correct???

Oh wow ok, I thought an RUU was sort of the same thing as a ROM. Ok so I download an RUU, let it run. does it have to be in the android file that I created? or just let it run and do its thing?

If it's an exe file just plug your phone in and run it but if it's a zip file rename it to "PH98IMG.zip" and put it on your external sd card then reboot to bootloader.

ok thanks. Do i need to relock my bootloader up in order for a RUU to be installed on my phone???
So I have figured out that in order for my SD card to mount right (since it isn't mounting to my phone at all) and for my phone to stop bootlooping, I have to reflash an RUU. So I'm a bit of a noob still with this kind of stuff so please bear with me I just need someone to link the latest GB RUU for me and explain step by step on how to relock my phone....Please if someone can help me with this I would greatly appreciate!!! Actually it would be great if someone could also explain how to install the RUU step by step from beginning to end for me I would love that please I would really appreciate it. Thanks!!!

Open terminal, cd to your adb and fastboot folder, and type fastboot oem lock that will relock the boot loader, as far as the RUU I can't help you step by step because I believe the GB RUU is a .exe and I have a Mac so idk, just run it and do what it says lol

You just have to flash the unlock token again you don't have to do the whole thing unless you deleted your unlock token.
If you flashed one of the ICS leaks, in order to go back to GB, you will have to be s-off or it will not work. If you are still on GB, then you have 2 ways to do it. You will need to have your bootloader locked and then download one of the 2.01.605.11 downloads HERE. Each one works a little differently. The one ending in exe is the full RUU that you will have to run on your computer with the Rezound connected witha data cable. The one ending in .zip can be put on your external sd card, renamed to PH98IMG.zip and will run when you reboot to your bootloader.
I used the Hasoon2000 tool kit. It has a relock button built in and is way easy to use with step by step instructions for unlock, root and s-off.

You should be able to flash the GB RUU if you only flashed the ICS rom. If you didn't flash an ICS leak, then you still have the GB firmware so should be good to go. There are some stock rooted GB out there too if those interest you.
EDIT: as mikey said..you need to be locked if you want to flash the RUU.

Wow thank you so so much. I have been searching forever for an .exe RUU for GB. It seemed like I was never going to find one. Thanks for the link man. I am downloading both right now. So as of right now, I have 2 .zip ROM files that I installed yesterday onto my external SD card. One is an ICS and the other is a stock 3.6 sense with android 4.0.4 i believe....Now when I change the name of the .zip file that I am now downloading, will my phone try and read the other ROMS on my SD card?? Or will it just read the PH98IMG.zip one since I changed the name of the file?

Ok yes, run the RUU, then you unlock your phone. When u unlocked your phone the first time, you had to flash An Unlock_code.bin file. Did you delete that? Or do u still have it? If you have it you can place it in your adb and fastboot folder, cd into that folder, and type

if you didn't keep it, you have to do the whole HTCDev unlock like you did the first time

Topgun, nope I didn't flash the ICS leaked RUU as soon as I rooted my phone, i thought I could go ahead and flash any ROM. just like i did with my dinc2. So i just flashed an ICS ROM and then when bootlooping started happening and my sd card not mounting at all.

I know what the issue is. You don't need to flash An ICS RUU, you just need the SD patch, since ICS and GB have different mount points for the sd card. You can find that patch in slimrom's thread, or the cleanrom de thread. try flashing that in recovery before you relock and ruu, if you havent already. And if you flash the ICS RUU you only have to do it once not every time you flash a rom

The ICS RUU is not an EXE its just a zip. You rename it to PH98IMG.zip and place it on the SD card and Flash in HBoot. You just have to make sure to to flash it all the way because it reboots twice during the process i believe
Edit: to make it clearer, the GB RUU is an Exe, but all the ICS RUU's are zips
