While trying to restore my Rezound to Stock, I was able to Relock the bootloader but then I haven't been able to get past the Hboot or Fastboot screens to load the ROM. I can't get to recovery or anything. I've tried loading the recovery by using "fastboot flash recovery recovery.img". For some reason it fails. I have the recovery file in the same place as the fastboot file. I'm not sure why it doesn't work. What should I do next, been trying for hours now to get a ROM to boot up... Thanks for your help!

you cant flash a recovery file while the bootloader is locked.
Are you on the latest OTA? ICS Leak?
You probably don't have the correct kernel installed. Coming from ICS to GB I'm assuming?

You need to unlock again before flashing a recovery

Thanks! It's working now...
Thanks guys! I just had to unlock again and the phone booted up fine! Now I just have to find where I went wrong trying to go back to stock. I believe I may have the wrong "tools" in my root folder?
Go into hboot and type in everything starting at the top. With this info we can help you further.

If you want to go back to stock, you can lock the bootloader and RUU. You'll have to use whatever version your firmware is currently on (so if you flashed the ICS firmware, you would have to use that RUU, if you're on older firmware, flash whatever GB one you're on).
Edit: You can flash to a newer RUU too, obviously, you just won't be able to go backwards again later.
If you have a custom boot image (kernel) or recovery (I think) then the stock locked hboot will have a ***SECURITY WARNING*** and will not allow you to boot. You can still RUU from this state. Unlocking the bootloader will allow you to boot. I believe you cannot RUU from an unlocked bootloader, but I don't remember for sure.

hello everyone
I recently installed KingCobra3D ICS 1.2 ROM on my EVO 3D, and it was running well until all of a sudden it started having many issues of turning off while the screen is sleeping (it wont turn back on until I do a battery pull), rebooting, and wont turn on until I do multiple battery pulls. First I thought it was the kernel, so I reflashed the kernel along with the ROM many times, and it still does those issues. My question is, how dp I go back to the original stock Gingerbread firmware without relocking the bootloader? I flashed the ICS ROM, not firmware.
EDIT: I tried restoring my backup from the recovery, but the phone didn't boot after that
any help is greatly appreciated. thanks

Hello madmajd,
S-ON as your phone is you can not flash boot.img(kernel) from the recovery.
Extract boot.img from your gingerbread rom.zip and flash-it from fastboot
Code:
fastboot flash boot boot.img
reboot in recovery, do a full wipe
and flash your rom

While its true YOU CAN flash the kernel that way its not needed with HTC Unlock...
If u enter your recovery via fastboot command prompt ( fastboot boot your recoveryfilename.img), roms And KERNELS WILL flash like normal from the recovery. Here's some extra info I pm'd to another gsm user...

Some key points:
- The ICS /ICS Leaked roms (3.6/4.0) typically have trouble booting the stock kernel on several HTC Unlocked phones. This doesn't seem to occur on S-off phones. (Boot loops are usually a sign of a kernel issue).
- I am on a Sprint CDMA EVO3D & have no idea how to s-off your gsm version/downgrade the bootloader.
- I do have an HTC Unlocked guide in my signature that covers many of the basics for the CDMA version. It's the same process/steps for gsm, but the files used need to be gsm specific from the gsm threads (recovery, kernel, roms, etc).
- If u decide to run an Ruu (exe or zip), you must be locked/relocked & run the same or higher firmware version as currently installed. The exe will work with the phone booted to android or with the bootloader in "fastboot usb". The zip must be renamed exactly PG86IMG.zip and put directly on the root of the sdcard & boot into the bootloader.
- If the phone boots to the bootloader, you can use fastboot command prompt to " unlock" the phone again with your unlock code. Then fastboot flash the recovery again (4ext or Cwm 4.0.1.4 gsm versions recommended), then fastboot boot the recovery, run a superwipe (or format system, data & cache), & flash a gingerbread Rom or one of your nand backups.
- The correct HTC unlocked flashing process (ICS or GB) is to enter recovery via fastboot command prompt, format/superwipe, & flash the Rom (and/or kernel) as you normally would. (4ext Recovery is a solid workaround to using fastboot commands)

You might want to consider upgrading your firmware and getting S-OFF status. I have a guide here that can help.

Too late!
Ok so I followed someone's note to me that said I needed to relock the phone first. So following the instructions for relocking I did the "fastboot oem lock" and now I am "Relocked" but the phone only boots now to Bootloader/Fastboot.
What do I do now?
All I really want to do at this point is get the phone back working. I don't care about root as this phone is going to someone else.
Thanks

Hi
I think you need to downgrade to HBOOT 1.49.007 Because versions 1.50.00 and above have a restart issue with custom ROMS
The bad new is that you must spend your HTC EVO 3D S-OFF
I followed this thread to downgrade
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=17434661
Follow this thread to return to 1.49.007 version of hboot
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1906172
If you really want to s-on your phone after this downgrade, you can enter
fastboot oem writesecureflag 3
in fastboot mode, but i don't recommend it
Pay attention to these manipulations and does not hesitate to completely read all the tutorials and all comments.
goodbye,

Thank you everyone for your help.
Was able to re-lock it and find and install through the correct RUU.exe.
Now my wife has a phone again.
today I tried to root my phone and followed the instructions and get success of unlock the boot loader and s-Off using JuopunutBrear.
However, every time I try to reboot the device always stuck on JuopunutBear screen.
Run "Control Bear.exe" on my computer, it detects "JuopunutBear S-OFF success"
Whatever I select install JuopunutBear modified hboot or not, it always stuck on "JuopunutBear" screen finally.
Just wondering what's wrong?
Thank you very much.
BTW, there is no "Recovery" in JuopunutBear Bootloader.
So how can i install another rom that stored on sd-card?
Down load this and follow it to flash a recovery. I hear the 4ext is the one to use. I personally have used CWM recovery for a long time on many phones and like it. But 4ext has a good review.

Hi,
Yesterday I decided to go s-off so i downgraded my hboot then used the revolutionary method to s-ff, the only issue is at the end it seemed to relock the bootloader. I have tried to unlock via HTC dev again but the power button wont work to select the yes option even though it is fully functional in all other aspects. my bootloader appears as shown below:
-Revolutionary-

I assume the RL means relocked rather than revolutionary, if so is there any other method of unlocking the bootloader?
Thanks
Doesn't matter your s off.
You can flash a recovery and install custom roms . That's why everyone loves s-off

Thanks for the relpy,
This eliminates my thought that the locked bootloader was the reason i couldnt restore my nandroid backups after s-off as my phone will just get stuck in a bootloop, the only way around it that i have found is to flash the boot.img from my backup via fastboot then restore the sytem, data and cache separately. My phone now boots up successfullyand the restore has worked.
So my rezound is stuck in Hboot, only boots to Hboot. I tried the update yet again and this time it is really screwed up. I can't flash anything in adb commands/fastboot commands. My Hboot screen reads:

Tried it and it did not work. Still Fail-PU next to everything. The only thing that is successful is #16 TP.
If you are reinstalling a Leak RUU you need to relock your bootloader.
troy7548 is right. Relock your bootloader and the latest RUU should flash fine (I'd do the most up-to-date one). Since you are S-OFF you don't need your BL unlocked. After you've gotten the RUU installed and everything boots, Delete the zip from your card then flash this firmware:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1843030
This will give you the latest firmware but re-enable fastboot commands on the locked S-OFF bootloader.

Hey guys,
So the last time I flashed ROMs was before the ICS update rolled out for the EVO3D. I want to start playing with the new ICS roms, but I'm not quite sure on how to proceed. I was hoping for some instruction. Here's what I have:
JBear Hboot (so S-OFF)
HBOOT - 1.50.5050
RADIO - 1.06.00.1216 (also S-OFF)
Any help would be much appreciated. Thank you
In my impatience, I flashed a stock ICS RUU.exe. I now have HBOOT 1.58 (but not JBear - I believe it is still S-OFF). However, when I try to access Recovery, I get an image of a black phone with a red triangle with an exclamation mark inside of it. Help!
your recovery is wiped. flash it again.
btw what does your bootloader say? s-off? if you're s-on then unlock bootloader then flash recovery

You're fine. Since you are S-OFF you just need to download and flash a custom bootloader and then reflash your recovery via the "fastboot flash recovery recovery.img" command, then you can flash or restore a rooted ROM.
The stock 1.58 bootloader you have now won't let you run that fastboot command without doing the htc unlock, and the custom bootloader is a better choice. Once you unlock the bootloader, it will show "***RELOCKED***" instead of "***LOCKED***" if you return to stock, and that flags to HTC/Sprint that your phone has been unlocked. You could also flash a custom recovery using a PG86IMG.zip file if that's easier.
BTW, the next time you start a thread with a question it should be in the Q&A forum.
