Looking for help/suggestions.
I have 2 aria that developed random reboot for no apparent reason...
My work aria was rooted and s-off running cm7.1 for about a month with no issues, I've flashed kang cm7.2 and all seemed ok, but the next morning the phone was dead (it was at 50% before going to sleep). charged it in the morning (the battery was 0%), came to work and while it was on my desk the phone rebooted and continued to do that through out the day. At home, i did factory reset, did not help. I've put it back to s-on and put back the stack ATT 2.2, same results, continues to re-boot at random intervals. Thinking it was hardware, got my job to get me a different phone.
3 weeks later, my wife's aria (rooted but still s-on) running cm7.1 started to run extremely slow and battery would drain in about 5 hours. I've done factory reset, clear everything and it still doing random re-boots just like my aria.
With one aria, I thought that it was a hardware issue, but now 2 arias, looks like os/software. Resetting/ re flashing does not help.
Any suggestions would be highly appreciated.
Are the devices overclocked?

yes, they both were overclocked, do not remember at what level, i think whatever the cm7.1 default was.... I did put them back to 600, which did not help.
Thank you
was such a problem! htc aria repaired and the problem was in nand module! I advise to contact the warranty service center!

Thank you, I gave mine back at work, my wife's is out of warranty. Interesting that both of them developed the same problem (i haven't touched wife's in months). Do you know what may cause such a problem?
Did you try doing "format system" before doing a clean install? Also make sure you are using a recent version of Clockworkmod (5.x).

You should touch your wife('s) more often
Sorry, couldn't resist
Running CM-7.2.0-RC for about a month and the Airia just started random rebooting this morning. Nothing changed except some software updates -- such as Google Maps.
I restored to a NAndroid backup from 3 weeks ago and it still random reboots. Suspecting a hardware problem, I even put the SD card in another Airia and restored the older NAndroid backup, but still having the reboot problem.
Any thoughts?

I have performed factory resets and all other formats and clear functions in Clockworkmod. Should I refomate the SD card too?

Can, because possible errors on the SD card
I still have not solved the random reboot issues. I have two Arias with the exact same problem. I think I somehow contaminated the 2nd phone by swaping SD cards and loading a Nandroid backup from the 1st phone. Both phones are rooted.
I have tried loading 4 roms -- Liberated, CM7.1 stable, CM7.2 RC and Menjeni's version of CM9 and have the exact same random reboot problem Seems like the phones works for anywhere from 5 minutes to over an hour and then reboot.
When I load the different ROMs I wipe everything -- the factory data reset, all the caches and re-formats that CWM offers. I also reformatted the SD card and reloaded CWM via Rom Manger in an effort to completely clean the phone. I also ran two a virus/malware scans on the phone and SD card -- which found no errors.
Is there something else I can do to further clean the phones? Since the same problem is with both phones, I seriously doubt its a hardware problem.
Anyone interested in purchasing 2 somewhat functioning Arias?

yar2, what HBOOT version do you have on the two devices?
HBOOT 6.02.1002
Thanks for trying to help me with this!

OK. I'm assuming you have an AT&T Aria. If not let me know.
Here's what I'd suggest you do. I'm basically trying the most extreme steps to correct the issue so we can verify if the issue is something that can be corrected or not.
1) Reformat your SD card(s) with SD Formatter 3.1. This tool sometimes fixes hard to detect problems that aren't corrected when formatting with other methods. (Default settings are fine.)
2) Run the AT&T 2.2.2 RUU to revert your phone to almost 100% stock. I say almost because the RUU will NOT change your HBOOT, which means even after doing this process, you will still have S-OFF.
3) Try using the phone with the stock unmodified ROM to see if you experience the random reboots you described. If you do, the rest of the steps are not necessary and it's probably a hardware issue.
4) Install CWM by putting your phone into FASTBOOT mode, then using the Android Flasher utility to install the latest version of Clockworkmod. Use this version: http://www.mediafire.com/?lg6b63aqpi1cvbg (source). If you know how to do this from command line with the fastboot command line tool, that is fine too.
5) Boot into CWM. Do factory reset/wipe data and format system partition. Then install the ROM of your choice. I'd suggest something like a recent version of CM7 since it is very stable. If using CM7, install 20110828 gapps immediately after flashing CM7. Reboot and see how it goes.
Even if you already downloaded any of the above files, delete them and download them again this time around (or check the md5 sums if you know how). It's possible the files were corrupted when you downloaded them before and that is why you keep having problems.
Also, as an aside: Are you using third-party batteries with your devices?
Aria random reboot
Thanks drumist for all you advice! When I did my last attempt at a clean install, I used a spare SD card that had never been in the phone.
Both phones are AT&T Arias with the original batteries. I liked the Aria size so much that I upgraded my wife's expired Iphone contract when AT&T was providing a free Aria upgrade just to have a spare in case I damaged one by rooting. Now I have managed to mess up both phones!
I was thinking my next step would be to go back to a stock state, as you recommend. I was thinking of going even further and un-rooting and S-On. Do you think the problem could be in the Hboot partition? And wouldn't going back to S-on replace the Hboot?
I still think I somehow contaminated the 2nd phone by restoring a Nandriod backup from the first phone. The 2nd phone was working find until I did the restore.
Regardless, I will try what you suggest and let you know the results.

Reverting the HBOOT to stock (and yes, returning to S-ON) has some risk -- i.e., if you make a mistake during the process, you can permanently brick the device, so I wouldn't recommend that except as a last resort. The RUU will reflash every other partition on your phone back to stock besides the HBOOT and is safe to do, so stick with that.

Yeah, it's possible. If that is the case, though, the HBOOT wouldn't be the problem (because Nandroid backups do not touch the HBOOT). The RUU will reflash every partition that Nandroid touches.
If you already tried using a different SD card, then I wouldn't worry about using that SD Formatter tool.
Can't find a copy of the AT&T 2.2.2 RUU. They took it off the HTC website. The instructions there are for an OTA update, which I can't do since I'm not running the stock rom.
---------- Post added at 02:51 PM ---------- Previous post was at 02:12 PM ----------
Never mind. I found a copy of the RUU on my laptop.
I have installed the hboot drivers and the phone shows up as a device on my computer, but the RUU says it can't find my phone. I am running Windows 7, if that makes any difference.
Got the RUU to load from an XP machine. Bad news is that the phone still randomly reboots.
I guess the only other step is to un-root and S-On. What have I got to lose. Can't use the phones as they are now.
Got a good way to do this?

I flashed the synergy 2.3.3 and after about three hours the phone was struggling and slowing down so I rebooted and I got the "system process is not responding" error. I tried a full wipe and reflash and still got it at boot. Then I did superwipe and was able to boot into the rom. So I wanted to try $ShooTeR ReWInD 3D. I superwiped and flashed then I got the same error. FC it doesnt work and neither does waiting. Any help would be appreciated. Also I am s-off revolution and fully rooted. Also have the latest radio and pri.
You will have to run the RUU, then goi back to S-on. Re-run Revolutionary to get it to go away. Unless someone knows another method.
Here is method I used, make sure you do the last one, fastboot write secureflag 3

Try reflashing your recovery and see if that helps.

" Shooter on Deck "
I really am stumped. I went back to s-on and unrooted then rerooted with rev. It was fine all day then I rebooted and it came back again.
My old Desire had this problem too, while running CM7.
I fixed my problems by running the "Fix Permissions".
Or you could try and run a RUU file to revert to absolute basic, then root/S-OFF.
Does this only happen on custom roms? After i got my EVO 3D, i'm rooted and S-OFF'd but still on stock ROM, haven't had a single problem.
Might wanna look for a more stable version or ROM.

I had that issue last week - rooted but running a stock rom. It has been running fine for two weeks and then all of a sudden I started getting that same error. I noticed that if I removed the SD card, the errors would stop. I copied all of the data on the card to my PC and then formatted the card. I then put the card back into the phone and copied all of the data back on. No more errors but I was missing some stuff and had some strange apps in the app drawer. Finally I performed a Factory Reset and that fixed the app problem. Its been fine ever since.

I done it 5 times tonight I just do not understand what the hell is going on. It works for a little while then it freezes and I pull battery and the error comes up again.
Did you do the return to stock method? That fixed mine, as soon as its done and S-on you can run revolutionary again. Just watch at first boot after you run the RUU it will prompt you saying it is checking for updated firmware, then software. You need to hit Cancel! Heck when I got my replacement I ran revolutionary before I even activated This way I would not get the "error 16" or the not being able to roam that seems to happen with revolutionary.

Yea I returned to stock totally with s-off, ran revolution and it kept failing at fastboot, said it lost connection, yes I had fastboot off and usb debuging. On the third try it goes to s-off and I flash cwm. Then I flashed synergy and it pops the error. I pull battery and reboot to cwm then reboot to os and it will go through the first time. Then in about an hour it will freeze so I pull battery and reboot to the same error. I am lost.

Just a thought....
If you just remove the SD card, do the errors stop? If so...and you formatted the SD card and the errors return when you put the card back it, you could just have a bad card.
If the errors go away when you remove the card, if you have another SD card handy, you might try running on that card for a while and see if the phone is stable. If it is, that would confirm that the first SD card is bad.
I have had this on my evo 3d stock 2.3.4 unrooted D: and it will say system.android.com has stopped responding. and i force close and it locks up the phone even after a reboot. must battery pull first
Yea I tried that and it still gets the error. I am thinking it is something wrong with the s-off with revolution. It takes three tried to get the s-off. That just doesn't seem right to me. Also the phone is not wiping when I flash a rom.

Above you said you returned to stock, all the way with S-off. You need to set it to S-on, then you rerun the revolutionary. If you did set S-on and that is just a typo than I would exchange it.

Yea it was a typo. I have brought it back to s-on tried different sd cards and all the suggestions in this thread. The one thing that I did was when the error came up i pulled the battery then booted into recovery and rebooted from there and it booted up fine.
Just an update. In the end the phone went into a complete bootloop and never came back. The was fully stock with s-on. So I exchanged it and my new 3d is fine. Rooted and s-off with no problems so far. thanks for all the suggestions.
I Have restorted to being the noob that signs up to ask a question...The other day I was driving (pre-root) and I look down to notice my phone had power cycled on its own. I thought it would come back one, boy I was wrong....
It spiralled into endless boot cycle. It would at first reboot get to the 4g screen and then back to the htc...over and over. I was able to get into Hboot, and atempt to do a factory reset that didnt help because it became a endless reboot that way as well.
Now before any of you say "why dont you warranty replace the phone" Im a VZW agent, alas we dont have a warranty on our phones when it comes to our concessions lines...
Now, at that point I said enough is enough and I delved into the world of rooting. I self taught everything within a few hours. I had my phone unlocked and ready to go. I picked Ineffabile (http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1420513) to use as a rom, I followed the procedure to a T it installed correctly, but then when it came back on everything seemed to work fine...for about 5 minutes and then it happened agian a power cycle all over again. and again...and again. It now comes on works for about 5mins and then reboots.
Im at a complete loss at this point I have gone back into the SD card and deleted the ph98 file etc.... I just dont know what to do. I need this phone to work.
Any help is appreciated Thank you so much!
I know you said it's not the wcdma problem but will your phone stay booted with the back cover off?
Else I'd ruu back to stock. Could try the different radios and see if it helps.
If you want to try the older radios and are on the OTA you'll have to hexedit you mainver. There's a guide if you look.
older radios? Im still new to this so I applogize...
A couple weeks ago there was an OTA (over the air update) that updated the radios - what controls the calls part of your phone and can affect reception and other stuff, I don't know everything it does. So if you wanted to try the older ones there's a thread somewhere, I think by con247, that has the older ones.
Here's a couple guides to help you get familiar with rooting stuff:

You can try flashing the kernel again. Sometimes bootlooping is a kernel issue, although it doesn't seem to be the cause of your situation.
How about insurance? Do you have that? Can you still get it?

I dont have insurance =/ and cant get it either. Im trying to find the radios, and what kernal should I be flashing? because I cannot find the one that should match the rom im using.
What I dont understand is why the phone powers on, works for a few moments like nothing is wrong what so ever. Then freezes and reboots.
Oh, there's a new way of packing a ROM with a script that then installs the kernel so I guess it's all together now on Ineffabilis. Here's a link to the MikMik forum where they still have the stock rooted kernel as a separate download:
http://themikmik.com/showthread.php...-Beats-Tweaks-2-01-605-11&p=164906#post164906
Just take off the part of the name before PH98IMG.zip, put it on your external sd card. Do a battery pull, then reboot into bootloader by holding volume down + power. It will flash it and I think reboot. Then delete the PHzip file after that.
Don't know if it will help...
Oh... when you flashed Ineffabilis, did you restore any data from a backup? If yes, try flashing again and not restoring any data, just set up everything again manually. Also, if you restored any data from another phone's backup that could have caused problems. Basically you don't want to restore data from a different ROM.

This is a clean SD card, and I didnt create a backup because I couldnt get the phone past Hboot when it was doing boot cycles previous to the root. I re-ruu'd right now. And im starting from scratch. I used clockwork before, Im trying amon ra now.
My last HTC Thunderbolt, I had used the [ALL IN ONE] The HTC Thunderbolt Tool! to root my phone. This went well.
I then did a backup of the phone using clockwork mod. Then I flashed leanKernel: minimalistic kernel, which now I realize is a CM7 kernel?
The problem fallowed the kernel flashing. It would boot through the HTC boot image, then through the Thunderbolt logo and straight to a black screen. After that I decided to restore the factory backup before the kernel after wiping data and the system. The problem was after restoring the backup of the original rom the phone bricked. I couldn't get it to boot past the white screen with the HTC screen. Thing is before this phone I had a Nexus S 4G so my first official task on that phone was rooting and flashing custom kernels and roms. At this point I'm not sure if the phone was faulty or if I botched the job somewhere.
If you flashed the wrong kernel for the rom the fix was as easy as wiping cache / dalvik and flashing the correct kernel. As far as you backup you might have a corrupted backup which could be why it bricked. Your SD card may be corrupted too and could be why the backup was corrupted. Maybe try backing the SD card up and reformatting it just to be sure.

Thanks for the response. I thought as much actually. I had already had the phone replaced. It had other issues since the first day I had it. I literally had it 4 days and in those 4 days it would just randomly restart and that was all factory. Lucky for me the Manager of the Verizon store sold us the phones. He just replaced it, but mainly because we had a lot of other issues. I'm actually feeling brave enough to try it again. The only thing that bugs me is the RUU thing. On my old phone it was way simpler.. well.. I had it for a year so it was probably just simpler to me. Either way, I guess the question now is what would be a good kernel for the factory rom? Until I find another rom I want to try? I wanted to hold out for the ICS update but I doubt it will happen after all the reading I've done.
Edit: Yes, I understand that asking for a good kernel for the stock rom is asking for opinions, but that's what I'm looking for.
Imos leankernel for gb sense would be the best. You should still think about reformatting your SD card though.
Sent from my ADR6400L using Tapatalk 2
I checked my SD card's download section and guess what I found. imoseyon_leankernel_v5.1.0GBS.zip This is what I flashed to my last phone. From what I gather this should work with sense 2.1 Android 2.3.4, Software number 2.11.605.19 710RD Now I've got to figure out why this bricked my last phone. I should also mention that I did 2 backups. One with Clockwork mod and another after flashing to EXT4. I tried restoring both in EXT4 and no such luck. Keep in mind, this is an old issue but I'm just baffled as to what happened. The SD card seems fine from what testing I've put it through though.
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1260185
the thread I got said kernel from.
You need to use 6.2 for 605.19. That shouldn't have bricked you though. From what you've stated though all I can gather is that the backup is bad.
Sent from my ADR6400L using Tapatalk 2
When you say 6.2 are you talking about a kernel version? If so then I thought 5.1.0 was the most recent, as noted by that thread. Am I missing something?
Well... scratch that question.. I did a quick google and noticed that it's not on these forums. >.>
Edit: Ok. Before I get too far into this. I've rooted, and did a backup with revolutionary CWM. I decided to check out the files in the backup on the phone and some files I can open while others throw back a "Cannot Open File: it does not appear to be a valid archive." with winzip and they also give me an error with 7zip. Should the boot.img file give this error? I can't go off of the MD5 as it was generated by these files.
I could see that happening with a windows computer. I don't know which ones it can open honestly. The only way that you will really be able to tell is from the md5 or just by assuming that is bad because of the first unsuccessful restore.
Sent from my ADR6400L using Tapatalk 2
Yeah, I completely scrapped everything from the last phone's rooting process.
I think I'll do another backup just to be on the safe side.
Edit: thank you for your help. I am now rooted and custom kerneled. I think this is pretty much what I wanted. I'll worry about custom ROMs later on down the road.

To summarize:
Rogers EVO 3D GSM
No SIM Card currently in the phone
Had Stock ICS Update
Rooted the phone, causing it to become stuck in an irreversible restarting pattern
Phone (if left alone for a while) will turn itself off within 4-6 minutes, and restart. It will repeat. If it is plugged-in and charging, it (occasionally) does not turn off. If the music player is playing in the background, it will not turn off.
Problem will persist even if the SD Card is not present.
Have tried multiple solutions (see page 2) which haven't worked.
Could really use some help!
Hi there, I was hoping that the more experienced phone users here could help me with my problem.
My phone is an EVO 3D (Rogers GSM). A while back, I decided to try and root my phone (I had the ICS update at the time). I managed to S-OFF it and later unlock it, but I had a lot of trouble rooting the phone through conventional guides.
In trying to root my phone, it became stuck in a boot loop that would cause it to turn on, flash the HTC logo, but then turn off and repeat the process. This was a really annoying issue for me, that I couldn't resolve until as a last-ditch effort, I managed to install a stock RUU and fix the problem.
Finally, I was able to root the phone last week. But as soon as I did so, it began performing erratically again. This time, the phone would turn itself off and turn back on (and repeat the process infinitely) if I left it alone for 5-7 minutes.
I tried everything I could think of to fix the problem, even wiping the partition caches/dalvik drives and factory resetting it multiple times. But even with all that, it wouldn't resolve the issue. I heard that the SD card could've been the root of the problem, but even after taking it out the problem still occurs. I've also tried factory resetting it without the SD card, but to no avail.
So I decided to install my first ROM; Viper3D (1.0.0-Multi-8_14).
I was successful in installing it, and the new software was great, but unfortunately, the issue still carried over. Unless I was constantly doing something on my phone, the phone would shut reboot after 5-7 minutes. And it would keep repeating without end. More factory resets would not do anything, and I find myself unable to install Stock ROMs now.
A sort of "temporary" fix (when I want to keep the phone on for a bit) is to keep the music player playing. As long as a song is playing (even if the volume's off), the phone won't reboot.
Nothing else works.
I'm really at my wits' end here, and I hope that someone can help me with my problem. If you have any further questions you need answered before you can help me, by all means ask.
(Also, I'm not sure if this has any bearing on the issue, but my HBOOT downgraded after the root from 1.58 to 1.49. Could that be related to my problem at all?)
Thank you very much for your time.

In trying to root my phone, it became stuck in a boot loop that would cause it to turn on, flash the HTC logo, but then turn off and repeat the process. This was a really annoying issue for me, that I couldn't resolve until as a last-ditch effort, I managed to install a stock RUU and fix the problem.
Finally, I was able to root the phone last week. But as soon as I did so, it began performing erratically again. This time, the phone would turn itself off and turn back on (and repeat the process infinitely) if I left it alone for 5-7 minutes.
I tried everything I could think of to fix the problem, even wiping the partition caches/dalvik drives and factory resetting it multiple times. But even with all that, it wouldn't resolve the issue. I heard that the SD card could've been the root of the problem, but even after taking it out the problem still occurs. I've also tried factory resetting it without the SD card, but to no avail.
So I decided to install my first ROM; Viper3D (1.0.0-Multi-8_14).
I was successful in installing it, and the new software was great, but unfortunately, the issue still carried over. Unless I was constantly doing something on my phone, the phone would shut reboot after 5-7 minutes. And it would keep repeating without end. More factory resets would not do anything, and I find myself unable to install Stock ROMs now.
A sort of "temporary" fix (when I want to keep the phone on for a bit) is to keep the music player playing. As long as a song is playing (even if the volume's off), the phone won't reboot.
Nothing else works.
To summarize:
Rogers EVO 3D GSM
Had ICS installed before root
Rooted, now phone is stuck in irreversible restarting pattern
Problem persists even without SD Card
Now using Viper3D ROM, but the problem remains
Could really use some help
I'm really at my wits' end here, and I hope that some of you can help me with my problem. If you have any further questions you need answered before you can help me, by all means ask.
(Also, I'm not sure if this has any bearing on the issue, but my HBOOT downgraded after the root from 1.58 to 1.49. Could that be related to my problem at all?)
Thank you very much for your time.

Sounds like a possible bad flash, you are obviously using the stock kernel, did you flash the new firmware, check setting about phone and will see baseband etc, that will tell if you have flashed the correct firmware, I too am with rogers. also using viper rom multi, hboot is the same and I have no such problem, here a screeny baseband, never mind the kernel
Please don't quote an op of that size next time but I'm on the correct firmware on my CDMA device and reboots happen occasionally it is most likely the ics update in general or just the kernel try a different one

No, mistake using tapatalk on my phone, anyways as I am a gsm phone and you already have a thread opened, wait for an answer from someone as I have no experience with cdma evo's, I would advice you to put more info as what rom you are using, hboot, firmware and service provider

Yes, new firmware, what I would try is in recovery wipe all partitions except sdcard, wioe dalvik and cashe and factory wipe, then reflash the rom, I do have a custom kernel which might interest you, I do know that some people have had issue's with the viper rom, pm me if you want more info

Could you please help provide some step-by-step instructions, assuming you can remember them? Sorry. D:
Ok, 4ext recovery is hopefully what you have installed on your rooted phone? Have you made a nandroid back up of your existing rom?Boot into recovery you will see wipe and format, press that and you should see down near the bottom format all partitions except sdcard, press that also on that screen you will also see wipe dalvik & cashe and factory wipe. Then install zip from sd card and find the rom zip and flash, and wait, now just to let you know all your data will be erased, so contacts should be back up with gmail

yes that could be why you have an issue, 4ext is much better and prefered
Is there a way to get rid of one and add the other? Like, flash a new recovery or something?
Since your phone is rooted, you can just use the 4ext app to install the recovery. See my Web signature for a link to the free version.

I believe if you install 4ext it over rides cwm but it was months ago since i did the upgrade, viper rom has an aroma installer which works much better with 4ext recovery, who rooted your phone?

Ok here is the deal you flashed Vipers ics rom unless you flash the latest kernel from that other guy you are going to experience random reboots.
So my suggestion is go download that other guy's kernel and install it.

Welcome to the world of the EVO 3D. Hate to be the one to say this but it's just one of those 3ds. Mine had random reboot problems and lockups no matter what ROM, kernel, firmware, root access, anything. Just happens to a lot of them. Some people report success with relocking and unlocking the bootloader and making sure you're S-Off but I've tried it all.
Maybe that's not the case for you but it seems to be for a lot of people.

About a month ago I rooted a HTC EVO 4G LTE, installed the recovery with touch screen and Cyanogenmod nighties.
It worked great, including tethering on Sprint.
Last week an update to latest Cyanogenmod was made. Phone worked normally, until today when screen stopped responding completely (physical buttons were working), including after rebooting. On a second reboot phone was stuck on a boot loop.
Went into bootloader mode and tried to go to recovery. It would boot loop again. Noted that it said UNLOCKED S-ON (I thought it was supposed to be S-OFF). I tried flashing the boot.img from latest Cyanogenmod. Nothing. Tried reseting from the menu. Tried more things. Nothing worked. So I downloaded and used the latest version of RUU after fastboot oem lock. RUU was successful (no error, phone no longer displays HTC developer message), however it's still stuck on the boot loop. I thought RUU would restore it completely.
What am I missing?

#Root-Hack_Mod*Always=SG3
I followed the instructions.
Then I tried all RUU that I had and always got Error 140.
Finally, found in a rooting pack RUU_JEWEL_CL_JB_45_S_Sprint_WWE_3.15.651.16_Radio_1.12.11.1119_NV_2.87_003_25007_release_299302_signed.exe which worked to restore.
However, the phone is still in the same state. What do I do?
How long did you give the phone to boot.? Also did you flash the firmware zip after you relocked your boot loader?
#Root-Hack_Mod*Always=SG3
Phone is RELOCKED.
What I did:
Code:
fastboot oem rebootRUU
fastboot erase cache
fastboot flash zip jewel_jb_ota_firmware.zip
Then used that RUU to restore. After this I left the phone without touching it for about ten minutes, but it keeps restarting (never passes booting stage).
Try this. Remove your sd. Then back up all your data. Then format it threw your PC and return it to factory defaults. Then put it back in your phone and redo the steps. Also were did you get the ruu your using from ?? Also if that fails to work look here
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2045935
And try the firmware zip with the stock recovery. Then run the ruu. Hope this helps.
#Root-Hack_Mod*Always=SG3
Does it matter if the SD is in?
So, I took out the SD card, repeated those three steps and I should use RUU again.
The RUU is from 3.15_RUU_PLUS_ROOT.zip.
I'm going to try again now with no SD.
Same result after trying without SD card. Also I did flashboot flash zip
Code:
PJ75IMG_3.15.651.6-firmware.zip
from the link you provided without help.

Yes the sd card should be in your phone. Also your trying to go back to stock so using the ruu that's stock with root might be the issue given your phones current state. I'll try and find you just the stock ruu with no root, unless you have one or if you know were one is download it and run it. Also when I posted about the SD card you were only supposed to remove it to "back up your data" and then "format" it. After you have formatted it then place it back into your phone. I'm not aware of any potential issues with running a ruu without the SD card being in the phone, however I would strongly suggest always running the ruu with the SD in the phone. Its what I've always done. Also make sure that your battery is over 75%. And did you flash the one with the stock recovery? There are several firmware zips on that thread but the one with the stock recovery is the one I suggested you try. And I'm not sure what the "without help" post is about. I'll help you as much as I can and I'm sure if I don't reply to you right away that there are more than enough knowledgeable members in this forum to help you as well. Take in mind that phones are so easy to screw up but it might take some time to get it back up and running. But troubleshooting is all part of the process.

I'll try it again with the SD card in the phone. No, the RUU I'm using it's in a pack for rooting and updating. I don't think it's modified at all. I don't even think RUU can be altered and signed anyway. I'll search for another RUU again.
Yes, the one that I flashed is
Code:
PJ75IMG - Firmware zip with hBoot and stock recovery (signature intact)
http://d-h.st/sKO (MD5: 0d8f9d65e29c1c824654bf88b9438f15)
and I had enough battery. (It was supposed to be without luck not without help).
So, I'll flash the above mentioned PJ75IMG, then use the RUU (I'll search for one that's in no pack, but I'm confident it's not altered) - all this with the SD card inside.
Thanks for your help.

You can't flash a PJ75IMG.zip unless you are S-OFF and the file you posted above is not an RUU it's just the updated firmware
It didn't work.
So I followed the steps from this link.
After using HTCDev to unlock the phone and I try to open RabiesShot, it reboots the phone but it's not able to connect. Sometimes the phone goes in a loop, sometimes the phone boots (it did boot twice). However, even when it booted, the screen didn't work at all, which is the original problem.
Right now the phone is ON but the only thing that works is the power and volume buttons (screen and soft buttons do not work). I've also noticed the phone reboots alone.
Any ideas left?
(This is my friend's phone. Anyway, I'll convince anyone to stay away from HTC. Nexus is so much better than this...)
Its not the phone its the user. I've never heard of a phone hacking itself. So usually the fault is the owner of the device and not the device itself. And In this case I'd say its user error. Also I'm lost as in what your doing at the moment. I thought you were trying to go back to stock? Now you post says your basically trying to obtain s-off. If this is the case then you make it extremely difficult to try and pin point what's actually the issue with your firends phone because you jump methods. So at this point exactly what are you trying to do ? Are you trying to go back to stock to gain s-off ?? Also if you come here to receive help with your issue you should always try the posted methods first so the member that's helping you is aware of what steps your taking and what your going to do. If not then it becomes difficult to help you.

Not hacked itself, just not working. At least, that's what I've been told. Right now I'm trying to make it stock, but since what you proposed didn't work I tried different things such as obtaining S-OFF (no success).
The comment regarding HTC wasn't necessarily related to this case but in general. Just look how miserably is the process to just obtain root and unlock the bootloader. And in many cases is not even possible until some exploit is found. Why...? HTC used to be great.
I'm just trying to get this phone work again. Initial idea was to go stock, since it seems logical that it should be straight forward.
So I tried everything you have posted, including the last instructions you left me (backup everything off SD, deleted everything and inserted SD in the phone, then repeated the process).
Thanks for your help.
I understand your frustration about the issues with the phone in its current state. However if done correctly gaining root/s-off can be achieved in less that an hour. I do realize the fact that even if guides are followed to the exact directions that issues still occur. But that's the risk you take when you modify you phone. Your aware of this I'm sure. However that's why xda is a great website. Not only can you get the software to modify your phone, you can also get help in case the process didn't go the way it should have. You can't dispute the fact that there are more than a few members with the evo-lte who had no problems at all with gaining root or s-off. As far as the steps I suggested there was no guarantee that they would work its just the process of trouble shooting to see what will work. If you don't mind can you post the exacts steps you took before you tried to achieve s-off ? Also can you post the links to the exact ruu and firmware you last used as well.? Also if the phone is on try powering it down and attempt to boot into the boot loader. If your successful then try factory reset.
