i unlocked my evo 3d gsm via htc dev the unlocking went smooth but after that i installed cmw-4.0.1.4-shooteru but now i cant boot into recovery and i tryed factory reset and it wont even do that but everything els is working fine any help would be awsome thanks
i may be wrong but i think clockmod recovery is made for the cdma evo 3d's not gsm.... do a search for one compatible with gsm's and then flash that one to the recovery partition and try to boot into it then

Have you already unlocked your bootloader? Sounds like it's still looking for a signature, which indicates your hboot is still locked.

Have you tried flashing it as PG86IMG.zip from hboot? I think you can do that on hboot 1.5, although I'm not 100% sure. Are you sure the downloads are good? Checked md5?

reboot into bootloader, make sure it says "fastboot usb" highlighted in red and the from the a command prompt type:
Code:
fastboot boot twrp-1.1.1-recovery.img
it doesnt flash the recovery permanently but you should be able to get into recovery this way
so this is what i have. software is on 2.08.651.3 and i have hboot 1.50
tried doing the dev unlock but keep getting error 173. any ideas

Update software to 2.17 latest radios and everything.... Then do the unlock thing .... if you get to the unlock code bin part and apply and it says sucess but nothing happens.... Then you will have to snag the 2.17 RUU exe and run it then after that reapply the unlock code bin...
noob ? then. that is sytem update right?
Figured that out lol

I guess you can. You still can relock your phone I don't see why not
I have no problem using hboot 1.5 You can get a app on here or on the market called flash gui works like a champ when it comes to flashin roms and kernels without having to use a computer...
I just couldn't stand the bloatware on the stock phone now it's all gone
So after unlocking and putting Su and can on I can flash roms
Flash gui image is a must have if you are stuck with hboot 1.5

Are you opening your cmd prompt to the appropriate folder and is your recovery image there?
At the command prompt, type: fastboot flash recovery recovery.img[2nd recovery = your recovery's name, you could also rename to "recovery"]. Good luck.

(Q) How To Flash A Recovery From Bootloader 1.5
Sent from my "Up all night, sleep all day" Evo3D via Tapatalk.
I have a secondary Evo 3D on my account that recently took a crap. My friend that was using it took the OTA update and it caused it to be updated to 2.17 but also HBOOT 1.5. So from there I unlocked it via HTC unlock method and installed SupraROM. I don't know the exact details but the phone became stuck in an infinite reboot mode. I tried to do a wipe and install the latest MeanROM but when it would boot the battery indicator would show a red triangle with an exclamation point and reboot within 10 seconds. I swapped batteries with a working 3D so I know it's not the battery. I tried downloading a stock 2.17 rom PG86IMG but it won't recognize or install in bootloader or TWRP (I've tried multiple zips). In bootloader it still shows S-ON and then ***UNLOCKED*** in pink up top.
What would be the best way to recover this phone back to 100% stock? Is it bricked or can it be fixed?
You will have to re lock the bootloader first. From fastboot, type "fastboot oem lock"
After the bootloader is re locked, it will allow the PG86IMG.zip to update the phone
Sent from my HTC Evo 3D using xda premium
Oh man I hope its that simple. Thanks!
EDIT: Nevermind, delete.
The phone is recovered and back to stock! Thanks!
Could you go into more detail please!

I second this!
Can you go back to STOCK without having to plugin your phone to PC? because my device cannot be recognized!
If you're Hboot 1.50, you need the pc to recognize the phone to use fastboot.
You must use the fastboot command to enter custom recovery correctly to flash kernels/boot.img files that are part of ROMs.
(There is a way to use FlashImage app for the kernel beforehand if the phone will boot to the OS).
You must use the fastboot command to enter custom recovery correctly to format/restore a backup (or the kernel won't get loaded).
You must use the fastboot command to "relock" your phone.
You must "relock" your phone to run the stock RUU.exe's and stock RUU.zip's (PG86IMG.zip).
If you can't get the pc to recognize the phone, try a different PC and especially try SEVERAL usb cables as these tend to go bad.
Additional "Detail" info that may help is in the "guide" in my signature.

I picked up a 3d last night used for a great price. I got it activated on my account and it works pretty well. I want root it now and start playing with roms. I looked up the hboot and it's 1.5.000 but it says relocked. Doing some research i'm finding it means the device was rooted at one time and then unrooted, is that correct? Or is it in like a partial root because I still have s-on. And while were here any preferences for a good stable ics rom with everything working? If everything works but 4g that would be ok too. Thanks
Edit: It's a cdma phone.

First step head over to HTC dev and sign up and unlock your bootloader and once your successful at unlocking your bootloader next you will install a custom recovery and then install the Su files this will give you root access and when this is done you may want to do a backup before flashing a rom this way if something go's wrong you can do a system restore from your backup

Thanks. Here is where I'm at now. I'm using the htc unlocker and I've made it towards the end of the process. Had a few little hiccups along the way, nothing major or frustrating. Just a little learning. I am however stuck at the part where you are trying to get the code out of your phone. It says waiting for device and then doesn't go anywhere from there. But i'm not getting any errors. My phone is in fastboot usb so I know it's connected at least. I tried googling and youtube with no answers. My phone is a evo 3d with the 1.50 hboot. Thanks.

If you have installed the HTC drivers then boot into hboot and then plug in the USB cable and then press power and you should now be in fastboot usb next on your pc open cmd and typ you cmd's to get your fastboot driver's working and then typ fastboot get identifier token and it will display your token that you will copy and past into HTC dev which will be on step 8 and then click submit and you will receive a email then check your email and download the unlock code.bin when your done downloading go to your download folder and copy the unlock cod into the same folder that you have your fastboot driver in and then open cmd and typ your commands for example this is what i typ on mine cd\rootevo3dnew press enter now my fastboot driver is working next I will typ fastboot flash unlocktoken unlock_code.bin press enter and you should now see the option to unlock your boatloader on your EVO press volume up for yes and press the power button

i just bought a used evo 3d (have 2 more in the house also)
its running latest stock, unrooted rom
2.95.651.6
the problem is (like so many others) htc-dev unclock code is not unlocking the code in fastboot like it did with my other phones running same firmware
this is a common problem but not sure how to fix
all i want to really do is probable flash this firmware here "RUU_Shooter_ICS_35_S_Sprint_WWE_2.89.651.2_Radio_1.09.00.0706__NV_NV_SPCS_1.43_release_271101_signed"
then do the OTA again so i can then try to fastboot my unclock_code again
unless someone knows exactly what i need to do in the current state of the phone....
i have done ##786# and factory reset from hboot
nothing is working.

same issue here
Yeah I took that OTA update too and I'm kinda stuck. I can't seem to find anything that I can flash to make it work. Does anyone have a zip of the RUU and can you use the method where you put it on the root of the SD and rename it to flash an earlier version? Or will it just reject it after checking the version number?

s-off without root?
Thank you for the reply. Is there any method for getting s-off without root because everything I've tried for root has failed (htcdev, wraiths temproot, srs root, etc, it's a long list). But if there's a way to skip straight to s-off that would be awesome. most of the phones i had were s-off as well. is there one? I have a linux system if it's are need for any methods.

i tried that thinking it could be the same thing
when you move the vol up key up it actually moves the selection in that menu
i never selected with the power key because it was on the wrong selection
if i would have moved the vol key up and nothing would have moved i might have tried selecting with power button
try it out and let us know as i never went all the way through
i downgraded and reflashed 2,95.651.6 and it fixed it
HtcDev solution not working
Hey! @en11gma you are right. I tried that and it actually moved to Power down option.
