Back from Moto-land with Rezound. I've flashed several ROMS and one I would like to flash now says that I must firs be on the leaked 3.11.605.22 firmware.
I thought that when I flashed a rom and it rebooted into bootloader to install the PH98IMG.zip file, that it was installing the necessary firmware. I'm confused.
How do I get to the necessary Leaked firmware. I've searched and googled, but everything I find, indicates that I cannot install the leak, because I have already used the HTC unlock tool. Again, confused
I appreciate your help!
ruu isn't a Tom that loads the kernel afterwards. the leak is flashed all at once which appears to be how kernels are flashed. flashing the leak requires the lock then it flashes everything together but remember it wipes all data with exception of external sd
Followup Q1: So is it possible to get to the RUU 3.11.605.22 firmware, WITHOUT re-locking and flashing the leak? (not concerned at all about full wipe, do it with each rom)
Q2: If I do have to re-lock and then flash the leak, do I first have to return to a 100% stock state (ie, restore all the bloat-ware and such)? (if you've ever had a Bionic you know what I'm talking about)

A little confused. Android Police says you have to be fully stock with a locked bootloader to install 605.22. According to this, I don't have to be stock, I just have to relock it, and be aware that the full RUU install with radios will wipe my entire phone except external SD? (I wouldn't ask this except that it directly contradicts the AP post.)
And do we have the ability to re-root the resulting ICS installation?
And there's no other way to apply just the radios and the pre-rooted (Non-RUU?) version?
Does the pre-rooted version also do a full wipe?

So far no other way to get the new radios , sounds like the only reason the OTA leak worked was the way it was packaged. This new leak isn't packaged the same way so you would have to relock and run the RUU to get the new radios.
Personally, all I did was reflash stock recovery before hand, but I had to run it a few times to get it to work fully and at one point I just relocked with amon recovery installed and ran it and it worked just fine. It wipes recovery as part of the installation and installs the updated stock recovery.

Sorry for the questions, but when I do all of this, will I still have the Amon Ra recovery, or does this return to the stock recovery (which I assume it does)?
When the PH file is flashed in recovery it will overwrite whatever recovery you had flashed previously and leave you with stock everything...including recovery.

I was able to upgrade to the new ROM and then re-unlock my phone. But when I put Amon Ra in SD folder as PH98IMG.zip and reboot to the loader, I am never prompted to install it. Furthermore, attempts to get into recovery result in a green circular icon followed by a red triangle with exclamation point.
I tried all sorts of resets and reboots. Right now I have a green recovery option, but no working recovery. The top line says "UNLOCKED".
I've tried Amon Ra 3.13 and 3.14.
Download this file.
Place it in the same folder that you setup for the HTCdev unlock.
Rename it to "recovery."
Go to the command prompt and type in this command: cd c:\nameoffolder (mine is c:\Android for example)
Boot into Hboot
Select Fastboot
Connect to PC
Then type this exactly : fastboot flash recovery recovery.img
That should get you loaded with Amon Ra.

Installation instructions are in the OP.
What you see now when you select recovery in hboot is what is considered stock recovery

Thank you. I had already figured it out, and this is exactly what the problem was. Last time I flashed with a PH98IMG version of recovery, but this latest version that I have is for Fastboot. Thanks!
Never thought it would be such a relief to see the "TAMPERED" warning, lol.
All is good!

i was having major boot loops issues so i returned to 100% stock 1.13.651.7 by following these instructions http://forum.xda-developers.com . but i did not complete step 7 b/c i was thinking i will just need to flash 4ext recovery on this to get back to flashing custom roms? am i wrong? do i have to lock this and then unlock? do i have to install twrp or cwm first so that i am able to then flash 4ext? right now i'm hboot 1.40 s-off...
http://db.tt/iL588Uib
Here's 4ext in a pg86img
Hi there..
My friend asking me to S-Off his Evo LTE when i check his firmware is already 2.13.651.1 plus with Locked Bootloader and H-Boot 1.19, my question is can i S-Off it..?? cause i read Lazypanda only for H-Boot 1.13
Can i use RUU JEWEL CL ICS 40 Sprint WWE 1.13.651.1 Radio 1.02.12.0427 NV SPCS 2.28 003 to have H-Boot 1.13 ...??
or is there another way to Root & install CWM or TWRP on this condition ...??
Cheers
You have to unlock bootloader and flash twrp with fastboot. You can use Regawmod but people have been having issues with it. If you go to HTC Dev and sign up the instructions are pretty well written. When you finish unlocking download twrp from the TeamWin website and flash it just like unlock_code.bin but type fastboot flash recovery recovery.img or whatever the image file is named. Then flash a rom. The kernel has to be installed separately or you can use a rom with a kernel installer like meanrom

So that mean without S-Off, i still can to flash twrp and flash a custom kernel...?? Thx
Yes, there is flash gui, fastboot, and htc dumlock. Some roms like mean have a kernel installer built in

Thanks
it's DONE + :good:
NB: I have scoured the forums, YouTube as well as the web and followed a couple of instructions before posting this. Bear with me. Thanks
I have an EVO 3D GSM EMEA that's on stock ICS 4.03, Locked HBOOT 1.53.007 and S-ON.
I then took these steps in the exact order:
1. Unlocked the bootloader using ADB fastboot and HTCDEV.com
2. Achieved S-OFF using unlimited.io Juopunutbear wire trick method (Linux instructions) - now Juopunutbear S-OFF with HBOOT 1.53.7777
3. Tried to install 4Ext (paid version) but got message that BusyBox was needed and both apps then confirmed error of no root access)
4. Flashed rootingsuperuser v.3.0.7
5. Installed BusyBox and 4Ext recovery
6. Attempted to flash WILD-FOR-THE-NIGHT-05012013-shooter.zip (got an error since it is cdma version - rom did not get flashed)
7. Got cm-10.1-20130215-UNOFFICIAL-shooteru and flashed it using 4Ext recovery
8. Also flashed gapps-jb-20130301-signed
9. Got the bootloop - It does not go beyond the cyanomodgen boot and keeps looping between that and HTC on.
10. Used ramjet73 bootloop fix and it did not work.
I've also tried to flash RootBox-JB-shooteru-Nightly-20130312 and cm-10.1-20130511-UNOFFICIAL-shooteru to no avail - still in boot loop
I have NOT done any superwipe. I have wiped all except sd card on installing different roms. I also wipe cache & dalvik-cache.
Any ideas on what I've done wrong or a solution???
Respect to the cyanomodgen team, team hydra and everyone else who have helped indirectly throught their posts.
I have just solved the bootloop issue on my 3VO device.
I downgraded my HBOOT to 1.49.007 using the info and download link on this thread
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1906172
Thanks to flashmaniac for the hboot 1.49.0007 advice
Steps Taken:
1. Downloaded PG86IMG.zip from the thread and followed instructions.
2. I think I lost Juopunutbear at this point but was still S-OFF and Unlocked.
2. After that was done, I performed a clean flash by formatting all except sd card.
3. Flashed May 2013 Cyanomodgen JellyBean 4.2.2
4. Flashed latest Gapps
5. Rebooted and I did not get the bootloop problem anymore.
NB: If there is still a bootloop problem at this point, use ramjet73 to wipe cache & dalvik-cache, then reboot.
Enjoy.
Hi
My friend gave me his old HTC Evo 3D gsm. And I want to install a custom rom on it (CM 10.2 hopefully).
But it requires HBOOT: 1.49.xxxx and S-OFF
My phones is atm running stock ICS and has S-Off, (re)locked and Hboot 1.53.0007.
How can I get HBOOT: 1.49.xxxx and S-OFF?
ps: I know how to unlock bootloader
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1906172
#1, Download zip (IN POST 2)
#1, Simply place the pg86img.zip on root of sd,
#3, Boot into bootloader and run the update
#4, Follow onscreen instructions
it will flash the bootloader, reboot, then flash splash img , then reboot
and your now in hboot 1.49.0007

After doing the above, make sure you have a custom recovery installed (4EXT preferably) and make a nandroid backup. then wipe data and caches and flash any rom you want
It requires root first. How do I get that?

How did you gain s-off while still on hboot 1.53.0007???
I was locked, s-on and on hboot 1.53.0007 (stock rom)
- 1st unlock with htc-dev method
- 2nd install 4ext touch recovery (recommended for almost all custom roms)
- 3rd s-off with this method, then you have hboot 1.53.7777 s-off
- 4th flash hboot 1.49.0007 in bootloader
For step 4 put the zip file to the root of sdcard, boot into bootloader and wait until bootloader recognizes the zip and asks you for update.
Afterwards if you reboot once more into bootloader you'll see ***locked***, but thats only a fake lock!
For root simply flash a file called something like "Superuser-3.1.3-arm-signed.zip" (google it) in recovery, but that's not necessary if you plan to flash a custom rom.
I think you are getting confused by this step: #1, Simply place the pg86img.zip on root of sd
you do not require root for this, it means you have to place the zip file on your sdcards root. not in any folder
