Please Help - My phone will not boot after using boot manager. - HTC EVO 3D

EXT4 recovery
Unlocked Hboot 1.5 s-on
I was running ZR3Dv2.4b smoothly and tried to use boot manager to boot MIUI. MIUI ran fine, but I could not boot back. I tried to flash a new rom and it would still only boot MIUI. It said data, system, and boot are all unmounted? But said image flashed succesfully. I can remount system and data, but no option for boot. Now I cant even boot back to even MIUI. All I get is the HTC screen.
I also tried to download the first posted link for a 2.17 ruu from this thread; http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=24268786&postcount=209
Bootloader finished checking it and quickly says wrong zip and brings me back to main bootloader screen.
Please help me us my phone again!

Did you try fastbooting into your recovery. 4ext leaves a copy of the boot.img on your sd card. If you have a sd card reader you should try to extract it, place it on your pc and fastboot into it.
Coming from sense to aosp and back and forth can cause all kinds of headaches.

I tried to get fastboot usb to pop up when i plug the cord in, but it does not. i have htc sync installed so i should have the drivers. i also have not done anything with phones using my pc, always just from the phone. is there a thread that could help me with this? i searched, i always search, first time i couldnt find an answer!

Have you tried a nandroid restore? I believe I've ram across the problem before and my fix was mounting USB I'm recovery and deleting the boot manager folder, hope one of these options helps
****'ll Buff Out

I cant seem to connect my phone to my pc with fastboot usb or with usb storage in ext4 touch recovery. What software and device drivers do i need?

install htc sync and uninstall it I believe...

tried that, still says "windows does not recognize usb device"

I've had this happen on my 4g before. Your boot.IMG is borked. A nandroid restore will fix it.
Next time, click the create phone Rom button several times to ensure it took.

have you installed boot manager in MIUI from play store? You should boot phone ROM from it.
If you get stuck , all you need to do is flash update.zip located in bootmanger/phonerom folder from recovery, if you are s-on you can't flash the update.zip without booting recovery from fastboot or without using 4ext recovery.....
Next time do a little search outside xda too. The boot manager's site has a guide and faqs and solutions too.
if you had setup the zr3d rom with bootmanager, flash the same rom again and flash the update.zip.....see if that works

i cannot boot back into any rom. I tried everything in recovery. no matter what my device hangs on the htc screen.

Why not just reformat your sd after backing it up. Then reflash your recovery. Then do a full wipe and flash a rom.

I can get into recovery, I can flash images and use it just fine, why would i reflash it? also i flashed it from android so i wouldnt know where to begin to do so.
I have been searching for instructions (with download) on how to relock my bootloader via fastboot connected to a pc. But unable to find what I am looking for. If I can just relock the bootloader sprint will give me a new one.
So now my new problem is please direct me to the files, instructions and commands to relock my bootloader, and of course all the other good stuff.
Thank you all very much for your time spent helping me sort out this issue.
EDIT: I can get my phone to connect via the bootloader in "fastboot usb" mode, Its the PC end where I am lost.

what version of the phone do you have? gsm? cdma? what software version do you have and what hboot and recovery?

Cdma
Unlocked Hboot 1.5 S-on
2.17xxxxxx
Ext4 Touch Recovery
I just tried to flash a 2.17 exe from the pc via fastboot and it failed.

here... take this file im sending you and download it and save it in the same folder as your fastboot and adb files and once its saved there start your phone into the bootloader... the part where you get it to say fasyboot usb... then go to your computer and PM me from three ill give you further instructions to fix it and then relock it if you choose to

You don't flash an exe you run it from your pc while your phone is plugged in and on charge mode only. Also make sure usb debugging is checked. Also the reason why I suggest to flash a new recovery or reflash your current recovery is that sometimes recoveries can become corrupt. Just because you can flash doesn't mean your recovery is functioning the way it should. So rather than try to figure out if your recovery is corrupt it takes like 5min to reflash it. That way you rule out your recovery as being the culprit.

Messaged you wflotus.
Well I am sitting here in fastboot usb via the bootloader with no knowledge of how to flash, unlock/lock, or what to do now for anything via fastboot usb.
EDIT: To rule out that its not my recovery, how do I flash ext4 or cwm from recovery or fastboot?

I got it now.
Finally found the sdk.

No fastboot ADB only in recovery

Ive been stuck in bootloop and since i installed stock pg86img. I have no more revolutionary/fastboot then only way i can connect to pc is adb while in recovery. But if i run revolutionary from recovery it says my hboot is not supported. If i reboot phone it will recognize device but it bootloops before revoltionary can zerge root. Ive been getting alot of help here but nothing will boot. Someone please tell me how i can get clockwork on via pg86img so i can try to format or remount the boot partition. When i run virus superwipe it says boot partition unmounted already. Is there any way to get my phone working with adb commands or someone that can tell me how to get fastboot to work. Thanks i need my phone back its been two days now.

The best way to use fastboot is to boot into the white bootloader screen (vol down + power), select fastboot, and connect the USB cable.
Depending on what type of "boot loop" you're experiencing, adb might be loading. If the device loops on the boot animation, adb should be loaded. If the device reboots while on the splash screen, adb more than likely hasn't loaded yet as this is still at the kernel/ramdisk portion fo the boot process.
Hope that helps!

I'm curious.. so you flashed a stock rom (which obviously would get rid of your root and put stock recovery back on your phone), and your phone wouldnt boot as if it came from factory? What is your hboot?
The phone will still hboot but fastboot doesn't work nor does adb while in bootloader or fastboot. I can get adb to connect while in recovery. But revolutionary won't run there it says it doesn't recognize hboot sbin/sh. And when I reboot revolutionary willbsee the phone but it bootloops before it can run.

What hboot are you on? Explain what you mean by fastboot doesnt work. When you power on phone holding volume down button, are you able to select fastboot and plug in your phone so that it shows fastboot-usb?
adb isnt supposed to work while you are in the bootloader.
What is your HBOOT Version? You should still have S-OFF right? If Yes, then all u need to do is take out your microsd card and put it in your computer then load either CMW or TWRP recovery (download a flashable from their website, should be name to PG86IMG.zip). Then stick your sd back to your phone and let hboot install the recovery for you. From there you can restore or install a new ROM.
You must install a couprted file or something.. even though i believe you should still be S-OFF. IF You're S-ON then the only way you can flash a coustom recovery is through fasboot, well depends on your HBOOT.
I've already installed twrp. And tried flashing a few different roms kernels suoerwipes nothing helps. I can't find a versikn on cwm that I can rename of86img and flash I would like to try that so i can mount the boot partition and wipe it. Cause when I run virus superwipe(example) it says boot partition unmounted already so its not wiping that and my guess is that's what's been corrupted.

[q] help!!!!!! Bricked e3d recovery jacked up stuck in bootloader!!!

For people who came for an answer, here it is.
download android sdk
download fastboot drivers
get clockworkmod img and rename to imgfile.img
put img in adb tools
put adb, adbwinapi, fastboot, and the img file in c:/Android
plug your phone to the computer
enter the bootloader
click on recovery or fastboot doesnt matter since both will now take you to fastboot
goto computer
type in run in start menu
type cmd in run and hit enter
type cd c:\Android
type fastboot boot imgfile.img
you are now in recovery
go to mounts and storage and mount your device as a disk drive
download any rom to your computer doesnt really matter and put in on your sdcard. If you already have a rom on there then just use that.
unmount your phone
go to wipe data/factory reset and when it finishes flash the rom
once rom is done flashing reboot into android again.
your phone is partially fixed
now go to the market (if you flashed cm then flash the gapps.zip) and download "rom manager"
Then click on download clockworkmod 5.0.0.2 or something like that (first option)
Now go to rom manager and restore your backup that u made (If there was 1 before)
now it will be fixed and your bootloader will take u to recovery instead of fastboot when you click recovery xD
thanks xda
I flashed a rom and the rom must have been corrupted or something and now my phone is stuck rebooting and when I try to go to recovery or any option it takes me to fastboot so now my phone is basically bricked
Your phone is not bricked since your still able to turn it on.
Can you enter fasboot USB?

well it doesnt really turn on its a boot loop but whatever and fastboot is weird it doesnt want to work.
If your bootloader is unlocked make sure you flash the boot.img through fastboot and make sure you wipe

Are you S-Off or S-On? If S-Off, download a PG86IMG.zip of a recovery, and use your bootloader to flash recovery. From that point, just restore a backup or reflash a ROM. If you're not S-Off, I'd say you should try running an RUU, since you can't get fastboot to work. But I think you need to relock your device to run an RUU (if you're S on/ HTC Unlocked), so you'd still need fastboot. Do you have a different USB cable to try? I've seen them fail before even though they still work to charge.

Sounds like the drivers arn't installed right.. Like you said if he is S-ON and relocked he can run a RUU exe if he is CDMA...
If you are s off then you just need to reload another recovery. And then access a backup of a rom! Or just flash a new one. I had a issue just like this yesterday where my recovery was broken for some reason and had to go from twrp. 2.1 back to 1.1.1 and load another rom.

Did you place a copy of the img into your fast boot folder and one in your adb tools folder ???
#Root-Hack_Mod*Always\

how do i throw cm10 on here?! lol messed up

so hey guys. just got an evo, and did the regaw root method where it unlocks the loader using HTcunlocker. and it also installed the twrp. i downloaded the cm10 zip and threw it on a sd card.
I put the sd card in, and went and booted into recovery mode... all good. locate zip on the external sd card, and when i try and install it, it fails first step... any suggestions what to do.
I read around and noticed you need s off to do anything that has its own kernel.
seems my hmode is like 1.5 or something so i cant do the s-off. I need to downgrade it. No problem.
bad thing is in the recovery i went to do a wipe facory reset, and now when i try and boot to system it says NO OS found! haha i power it down and back on, and it says no os found!
I cant use an RUU or downgrade tool because i cant boot up and into debugging,
i know you clever people can help me out a bit, right?! i miss my epic 4g slider
EDIT STILL NEED HELP please and thank you in advance
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1869377
Pay attention to the S-On part of that article. You have to flash the kernel separately with S-On. Also there is now a method of downgrading in order to achieve S-Off. It can be found in the original development subsection.
it seems like i downloaded a RUU with 1.3, but the problem is, it says it cant connect to the phone. i didnt install any drivers or anything. so point blank, since this was a newer phone, I need to download a livecd of linux in order to get this thing to boot to anything other then the white htc screen or twrp?
You need to get into twrp by holding power and volume down . Once there wipe everything except storage. Then mount USB and copy/paste a Rom from your pc to your phone. Pull the boot IMG first and place where your adb/fastboot files are.
Flash the Rom, when its done boot into bootloader from recovery and then fasyboot flash the boot IMG
There are detailed instructions on how to do these steps all over XDA
Hope you get it up and running
I don't know if you need those drivers you talked about. If you wanted to be sure about having the correct drivers you could install HTC sync on your pc.

ok so go into twrp. then from my rom zip file, youre saying to pull out the boot.img and place in the fastboot folder (not sure)
then flash the whole zip file of the rom (with or without the boot.img that i copied) and then you say boot into bootloader and than fastboot flash the boot.img? im kinda lost right there
So As i just woke up and ready to try again with this bastard phone, can you link me to something stating how to actually flash a rom using s-on htcunlock? or just how and where you put the boot img and where the fastboot folder is etc.
Best thing to do probably is read om4's guide in the Q&A section. Its stickyed or maybe download flash image gui. The app explains the process. Its any easy solution for s-on folks.
Sorry i cant explain in detail how to fastboot flash the boot img but all the info easily found on xda.
Sent from my EVO using xda premium
So when i try to send the image using fastboot, i do fastboot devices, and then i try and send. it says sending, but will stay there infinitely. I cant find a thread that talks about it locking up during the file transfer
Maybe I'm missing something here but couldn't he put a rom like meanROM ,that has the s-on kernel installer built in, onto his sd card (assuming he has one) and install it from TWRP just so he has a working phone? Then he could properly research how to get CM10 installed and running.

Stuck in recovery with S-ON

My friends phone is an EVO LTE and it was rooted with a ROM and TWRP and HBOOT 1.15.
For some reason....He installed the system update from Sprint and rebooted the phone and wiped Cache, Dalvik and System. Then he reset the phone and it got stuck at the HTC bootscreen.
I was able to get into recovery, wiped everything and I tried installing FRESH ROM. It said 'successful' and then rebooted and the screen was just black. I went back into recovery and noticed the status is S-ON.
I downloaded the newest JB RUU but it won't detect the device as I cant boot into the OS.
What do I do?
Try flashing the kernel separately with boot image flasher or using fastboot

How?
My knowledge is limited to rooting and flashing ROM packages. On my RAZR there is a program I can run on my computer with the phone in fastboot and then push the RUU file to the phone via the program with the phone in fastboot mode.
I dont know if that is possible on the EVO or if I can do it.
HTC has self contained ruu packages that run themselves. It seems like you just need to flash the kernel separately though. In the android development section (or original development) there is a program there for flashing the kernel. If you want to just run an ruu, there should be links posted in development. There are issues with the new hboot and writing to system partition so try running the ruu for the hboot you already have to avoid any problems

If you already did a factory reset...
All you need to do is fast boot the FreshRom kernel in fastusb mode. Grab boot.img
in fastusb mode in the bootloader do:
fastboot flash boot boot.img

With the phone in bootloader select fastboot. It should say fastboot usb, type fastboot devices to make sure its connected. Open the Rom zip you flashed and extract the boot.img and put it in adb folder. Type fastboot flash boot boot.img and reboot phone. If all went well you should have a working rom

Out of curiosity can you confirm the current HBOOT version?
Also, you need to have the HTC drivers or HTC sync installed for the phone to recognize the computer and go into FASBOOT USB. Otherwise it just stays in fastboot.
I also have had issues using the USB 3.0 ports on my computer, like wise with USB hubs. USB 2.0 directly into the computer.
Outside of that, I'd just load MeanBean and let it handle the flashing of the kernel if I were you. Just make sure you have the latest radios.
I got it!
When I choose FASTBOOT from the Bootloader, it just says FASTBOOT, not FASTBOOT USB.
I then chose the option REBOOT BOOTLOADER and it came back up as FASTBOOT USB.
YAY!
Thanks fellas!

Wow. What timing. You just answered my question. I was thinking about flashing a JB sense ROM (I never use sense, so I wasn't sure about radios). Then it occurred to me, I'm not on the latest firmware and wondered if I needed to be on the latest to run a JB sense ROM.
I've been on JB AOSP for a looong time. I know on my old Evo I always ran new ROM with old radio and it didn't matter, but this device is much more delicate.

SOLVED [Q] shooteru - cant get into bootloader after flash attempt

SOLVED
Hey, I have htc evo 3d gsm (shooteru). I unlocked the bootloader using htcdev.com and installed clockworkmod recovery. Then I changed cid to HTC__001 and tried to flash a gingerbread ROM in preparation for using the flashmaniac tool to downgrade my hboot (1.53.0007 -> 1.49.0007).
But when I tried to flash the gb rom the recovery said that installation finished but the phone did nothing after reboot. So I took out the battery and went into bootloader and everything looked the same as before the flash attempt. So I tried once again with same result. Then I powered off the phone and now when I turned it on again it only shows the HTC logo for a few seconds and then nothing (the buttons at the bottom have their lights turned on though).
Any ideas?
Yes, hboot version not compatible with gb rom, and or boot partition didn't get flashed. Unlocked but s-on doesn't let boot partition have write if booted into recovery in a normal way.
So yoy can get boot.img from install zip and flash with fastboot
fastboot flash boot boot.img
Or you can reinstall from recovery if booted from fastboot command.

Somehow got it at least to bootloader, no idea how, just tried taking out battery a few times and charging it a bit and it worked.
Thanks for the advice, didn't realize there was a difference between these flashing methods.

I know , it just didn't work for some reason before.
So I flashed the boot.img and now it's stuck in a boot loop. Tried going to cwm recovery and wiping various caches etc and flashing again, and flashing boot.img again but it still goes into boot loop.
I would just use the flashmaniac's tool anyway because I don't care about any data on the phone or anything, but it seems that it requires the phone to be booted before it can start the downgrade.
What should I do? Try to flash other roms maybe? The one that I have now is EU_Shooter_U-1.20.401.8_ROOTED.
So I extracted a rom.zip from a RUU but it won't flash from cwm "Can't open /sdcard/rom.zip (bad)", should I try to flash it with adb/fastboot? I'm worried that the zip may be broken (even though archive manager integrity check says its fine).
Would this work with shooteru/GSM?
[TOOL] Ultimate Recovery Tool 3.1 (Unbrick, Downgrade, VM Radio Fix/Reset)
I'm thinking it might be a way to sidestep the boot loop problem that I have now, just relock the bootloader and follow the instructions until I get HBoot 1.40.something like the guy in the video?
Do I need some special drivers when using the RUU executables on Windows?
So I've got it to work. The problem was what jcfunk said (both of the things he mentioned, actually), I was trying to flash a GB rom when I should have tried an ICS rom instead (lol). After going to ICS RUU, I did the wire trick (unlimited.io) and now everything works nicely and I can get the latest roms.
Glad to hear.
