I have a Evo 3D on hboot 1.50 with the latest cwm touch recovery. I was booted into slot 1 rom and tried to delete slot 2 and install a new rom, unfortunately I deleted the rom i was booted in (slot 1) and was wondering will it break recovery, or is there a way to get to my phone rom in this situation? All apps are force closing on me and im too scared to cut my phone off to check for myself, fearing that i may have bricked my phone. Please let me know what I am to do
How can I turn back to orjinal rom ?
So you have a phone ROM, and then you were booted into SD Slot 1 ROM, and then while in SD Slot 1 ROM, you tried to delete SD Slot 2 ROM?

You need to fastboot to recovery, go to your boot manager folder and go inside the phone Rom folder, find the update zip and flash it.

^^This is the correct answer^^........Bootmanager doesn't touch anything on your phone. Your recovery and your phone rom will still be intact. I would also suggest watching the video tutorial and reading the manual on Bootmanager as these issues are covered in there.

he is correct... and if it still doesnt boot up the most youll have to do after that is manually flash the boot.img file in the phonerom folder... it happens at times.... i use this program too and have several ROMS i switch between

That's the stock recovery. If you think that you are rooted with a custom recovery like Amon_RA, it sounds like either you are not, or you were and somehow you restored the stock recovery.
So, are you rooted? Is this the first time that you tried to get into Recovery? What method did you use to root the phone?
Universal 1 Click Eris Root App Apk - No PCs, No Scripts Needed, EASY
I'm not sure what I did wrong. I guess I need to know where I need to start from to restore the phone. So if someone can point me to the right direction that would be great. Also I'm not sure if the phone is Rooted still , I think were I messed up is where, I was installing custom ROM on the phone When it was booting up. It locked up at the loading spring. i installed GSB.v3.0-CM7.0.2-Eris
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=792026 this will put you back to stock unrooted or download the rootcheck app in the market and check if you have root
if so then dont flash back to stock download rom manger and use that to flash a recovery either clockwork or scroll down and flash amons recovery i recommend amon ra recovery

Wait, so that sounds like you actually had Amon_RA recovery?
Question: when you installed GSB, did you wipe data/factory reset? And also flash Google apps?
If you start in the bootloader (hold VolDn when you power up), there should be a prompt to press VolUp to start in Recovery. If you press power up, do you get the Amon_RA recovery or do you get the exclamation point with triangle?
I fixed it last night I installed Amon_RA recovery . But I went back to GSB v3.0 where I messed up the first time installed find the second time but my SD card is not recognizing anymore. in the os. Only my 1gb SD card works now.

Did you ever partition the card for apps2sd on a ROM like xtrROM? If so, you'll need to repartition the card so it has only one partition. (You do this the same way that you partitioned - namely:
- backup the contents of your SD card
- restart in Recovery
- partition SD card menu
- partition SD
- set the options for partition sizes for ext2 and swap to 0 bytes
That will reset the card to a single partition, formatted fresh.
Thanks you guys, it's completely working now.
good news
it sure is good news. But now my friend has one that he's willing to sell me for $10.00 but it does not boot and I've been trying to fix it . I would like to get it for my girlfriend but figure if there's anything that can be done to it I think it's a paperweight. I can get to HBoot and fastboot . But not to recovery.
But for 10 bucks you can't beat it for parts right if I cant fix it

I was helping a buddy root his Evo 3D today. We managed to get S-off, but couldn't get Clockwork mod to install. Later I realized that his PC was not recognizing his 3vo. Installed the HTC drivers, still same problem. Installed HTC Sync, still the same. Now I can't do anything to his phone.
To make matters worse, he can't surf online. The phone boots up just fine, and the boot loader is unlocked, but this is where we currently stand.
Try to flash TWRP:
[RECOVERY] [EVO3D] TeamWin Recovery Project
Just dl the .zip file, rename it to PG86IMG.zip, put it on the root of the SD card. Then boot into bootloader (either through adb or take battery out, put back in and hold power + vol down). Then once it loads into bootloader (not fastboot) it will auto detect the .zip and ask you to update. Press vol up to say yes, wait for it to finish.
Now you'll have a working recovery, you can flash other already rooted ROMs using the flash zip utility in the recovery or if you just want to root the default ROM you have to flash this zip file with the 'flash zip' under recovery.
Is there supposed to be a root folder, or do I just simply place the main directory.
We placed the .zip file, after it was renamed into the main directory of the 3vo. Booted into HBOOT, but nothing happened. We were not prompted, just sat there in the HBOOT screen.

Weird, for some reason, going directly through the link that you provided worked. So now we have twrp on the phone. The 3vo recognized it, updated, but now still no phone or internet use.
Do I use twrp as a recovery? If so how? Should there be a twrp app now? Or do I just go back through HBOOT and select recovery from there?

This might not help but try wiping the Dalvik Cache first. If that doesnt help, do a full wipe (factory reset/data wipe), install the ROM again and try that.
Theres no app that will show so go through HBOOT, select recovery (it will look like it is rebooting but it isn't - it is loading the recovery), then choose the backup/restore option.
Alternatively if the ROM you are using has 4 way reboot you can use that to boot directly into recovery.
EDIT: yes twrp is recovery.

There's a Su.zip Signed and Another version that's Unsigned!
Put Both versions on your SDCard and try Flashing one at a tine, see which one works?
Good Luck!
:NOW COMPLETE:
I would like to thank everyone that helped.
Switched PCs. Installed HTC drivers on 2nd PC, worked. Then went through the same root process. All done. I only with that veterans would also inform new root users that 'Error 16' will happen once the phone is rooted. All I had to do was call the provider and all was squared away.
Got one for you now. I was able to get my buddy's phone back. Seems that he can't remember his gmail PW. He swears that the PW he is giving me is correct, but he can't get in, not even through a PC. This blows, as he cannot use the market without a valid GM account. Not even getting a new GM account solves the problem. So I did some research and it seems that the original GM account associated wtih the phone cannot associate anymore, and trying to get a new GM account will not solve the issue. So if PW is incorrect, I'm assuming that the only thing that can be done is to reset the phone back to factory. My question is, doing so will cause me to update the phone to the newest version 1.50+. In doing so, no more root.
Are there any other options?
Going into setings and doing a factor reset doesn't update your phone to the 1.50 hboot and you don't lose root. Just flash a ROM that's updated to the latest ota I'm on clean ROM it runs perfect smooth as butter and don't forget to nandroid

you need to somehow flash the boot partition with the boot.img file to stop the boot loop
Just remove the sdcard,then boot phone into bootloader highlight fastboot then from computer extract the boot.img from a ROM and place it inside the platform-tools folder then go fastboot flash boot boot.img and that should fix your problems hope u get it and it helps .... Need more help just PM me

You can also install the new 4EXT recovery touch with smartflash s-on to flash the roms without the need of using fastboot anymore ..hope it helps

Stuck
Hey,
I'm an experienced flasher who got a lil flash happy and is now stuck. I can't get into the recovery because I have a PCIMG86.zip on my sdcard and when I load into the bootloader it automatically tries to update. I don't have another sdcard to use nor do I have sdcard slot on a PC/laptop. Is there anything I can do to get back into recovery?
Boot into your rom and open up a file explorer or file manger and remove the zip or put the zip into a folder.

i think by him saying he's "stuck" means he's not able to boot into the rom.
i dont think there is a way without being able to removing the file first
any other phone that you can throw your sd card into real quick and remove the file?
usually i have my work bb for this stuff but started a new job and my gf now has a iphone. seems like im screwed until i get my hands on an sdcard or another android phone. theres no command to stop the pcimg86 update??

Nope. You have to do what the people in this thread said about a month ago. If you can boot up your phone and restart into recovery you can do that. And don't feel bad I did this earlier when I got flash happy lol. ICS will do that to ya.
Have you tried booting your phone into safe mode ??? Also I noticed you asked is there any command to stop the update does this mean you have adb ??
#Root-Hack_Mod*Always\
In bootloader adb doesn't detect the device...same goes with being in recovery.
Also, the bootloader automatically picks up the pcimg86.zip file. I think I messed something else up though cause its not even mounting the sdcard anymore...it's frustrating.
I must've did some damage when trying to force my mem card in while the battery was in as well (I miss the evo 4g when you could do that). So now I need either a) an sdcard reader b) another sdcard or c) another phone cause it doesn't read sdcards anymore....
Having no phone sucks in 2012 :-/

Remove the SDcard so that the bootloader won't find PCIMG86.zip and then boot normally into recovery and put the SD card back in.

You need to flash that kernel when you install the rom.
I am going to try this right now, I hope this works, I've been trying for 2 days now going from stock to different ICS ROMS without being able to get past the HTC screen on a ROM
Before you do that you might try flashing the kernel out of the rom zip with Flash img gui, tell it to reboot to recovery and then flash the rom. The only reason I recommend this is that chads kernel will break 3d and mount sd via usb.
So I'm having the exact same symptoms as OP but I'm S-OFF and GSM, I don't know if there is something like the fix you posted birddog_61 that could help me in my case.
Unfortunately this did not work for me, I did a superwipe, flashed the ROM, and then flashed the kernel, then rebooted and still cannot get past the damn HTC screen, any other advice?

Curious question but have you tried any of the Sense 4.0 ROMs cause those work for me but whenever I install a 3.6 ROM(atleast the ones based on the leak) my phone reboots every 10 seconds, It's just a little odd that for such a rare problem, it'd be someone with such a different configuration that I have.

Well I'm on GSM so we don't have the exact same ROMs but I used Shooter Ice, in my case flashing the boot.img for Shooter Ice over Virtuous 3.0.2(a ROM based on the leak) actually fixed the bootloop though the system was too unstable to use. But try something not based on the leak since that did work for me(though none of those ROMs are fully functional).

Ok try this, go back to a rom that will boot for you. Boot up and download Flash Image Gui. Now make sure the rom zip file is on your sd card. Open flash image gui and grant it super user permission, make sure kernel image is selected and also clear dalvik and clear cache are checked. Click on the browse button at the top and find the rom zip file on your sd card and tell the prompt yes to extract the kernel. Now it will flash the kernel and ask you to reboot, tell it to reboot to bootloader. From there get into recovery and flash your rom like normal.

Didn't work for me(not that I really thought it would but I'm pretty desperate at this point), if he's having the same issue I am(atleast the OP had the same bootloop I do), I know in my case it's the boot.img not getting along with something, what that something is I'm still trying to figure out though.
Hello,
Im having problem that i couldent find any topic for anywhere, every topic is about bad card and no topics about bad slot.
So my SDcard slot is dead. And funny thing is it just stoped working without me doing nothing. I was not installing nothing or anything, screen just lighted up and it was showing that SD card was removed Phone ofcourse would not show me nothing in gallery, music etc.
My first thought was that SDcard died, but when i put my card in friends phone it is working perfectly well. I also tried putting his card in my Evo and same thing happened, it started to load files and imidiatly showed msg that card was removed unexpectadly.
So, as the problem was phone and not card, my first reaction was "Great, at least I didnt lost all my data on card, ill just return my phone to original ROM and send it for repair" becaose I have one year of warranty left.
But latter on I realized that i do not now a way of installing a ROM without an SDcard, and im not evan sure that is possilble,
So can annyone please help me with either fixing this card reader problem (if it is some way of software error) or helping me restore my phone to original ROM so I can send it for repear.
Thank you.
Go to recovery, do some wipe, when it's doing the wipe immidiatelly pul out battery. Do it till the phone dies. Now NOONE can find out you have root/custom recovery on it
Or, easy way, download newest RUU and flash it via PC (you don't need SD card i think).

Loving the first option, that is something Chuck Norris would do. But too bad ass for me Im afraid.
Second seems ok. I just need help to do it. I guess there is a tuttorial or something as im not so experienced in flashing. I did a s-off, rooted the phone and flashed the different ROMs like 20 times but thats it.
EDIT: I was just searching for a topic with instaling the rom directly from PC without SDcard and I really cannot find evan one.

Go here and download the file which match your phone's original carrier. Make sure you install HTC Drivers on your pc and run the exe file that you downloaded. Make sure also that you downloaded the right file which should have the SHOOTERU or SHOOTER_U word on the name and NOT SHOOTER ( shooteru is for GSM and shooter is CDMA ). The software will install the original ICS firmware released by your carrier. The downside to this method is that it will also update your hboot which depending on your carrier might be hard to downgrade to lower hboot for flashing custom roms.
