Problem solved. Thanks to everyone that responded. I really do appreciate it!!!!
What exactly did you flash? The Mainver error only relates to the kernel IIRC.
The only thing I tried to flash was the custom recovery after I accidentally ran the ota update with the custom recovery still on my phone. When I should've flashed back to the stock recovery before accepting the update. And now I can't get into custom recovery. When I try to reflash armon ra it won't take. I've lost root access even though I have superuser still on my phone.

how are you trying to reflash Amon Ra ? , what recovery do you boot into ? As long as your still unlocked you should be able to flash Amon Ra through Hboot it has nothing to do with root access at that point. Even odder that the OTA flashed through the custom recovery, thought it would error out and not take if it wasn't the stock recovery. Unless you ran Con's Stock rooted, but then you wouldn't have an issue with superuser or root access.
Should be able to flash stock recovery through fastboot relock and RUU then if you really are stuck. Otherwise , no reason you shouldn't be able to reflash Amon Ra and reroot through recovery.

I take it the phone can't boot up at all? Have your tried fastboot flashing the stock kernel?

I'm trying to flash it in hboot as ph98img. And when I go to recovery it seems to go to the stock recovery with the little phone and a green circle but shortly after it turns into the red triangle and phone symbol.
Try flashing the recovery in fastboot. Download the latest version of AmonRa here and extract the recovery-ra-vigor-3.13-gnm.img. Take that file and place it in the same file directory you place the tools to unlock your bootloader (needs to be in the same directory as fastboot.exe).
Put your phone into bootloader and connect to PC and flash the recovery-ra-vigor-3.13-gnm.img in fastboot using the command:
fastboot flash recovery recovery-ra-vigor-3.13-gnm.img

It will boot and everything runs fine, I just can't get into custom recovery or install custom recovery. And my apps that need superuser permissions won't be allowed even though I still have superuser installed on the phone.

hi all
Forgot to charge my EVO 3D (CDMA) and battery completely drained. Even after using another fully charged battery my phone goes to bootloop - just shows the HTC logo and reboots again and again. Here is what I have:
hboot : 1.5 (S-ON)
radio : 1.06.00.1216
ota : 2_17.651_5
(I am using this phone in India activated on Reliance)
As the phone doesn't boot I can't access it thru adb to give command 'adb reboot bootloader'
I can get bootloader by pressing vol_down+power
When I run the 2_17.651_5 RUU (exe) from my computer while phone is on fastboot, it completes successfully without errors. But still on reboot it just stays at the htc screen and reboots (guess it's becoz stock kernel not getting flashed as the phone is s-on)
kindly help to get back my phone boot again
thanks and regards
ananth

Don't listen to the previous guy. Try using fastboot OEM lock and then ruuing. Or, try getting freezas stock kernel and extracting the boot.IMG and flashing it thru fastboot. Or, you could use fastboot flash recover recovery.IMG to get twrp or clockworkmod and do a superwipe and try flashing a new Rom. There are tons of options if you still have fastboot.

Thanx for responding. As I mentioned earlier,I have already relocked and RUU'd the exe file,but though it runs without errors doesn't solve problem. Again as it is s-on doesn't permit to flash boot.img. Though I am able to flash twrp recovery, not able to get into recovery from fastboot. Thanks again, really appreciate your help.

You don't need to relock once you unlock the HTC way. Just unlock the phone then flash via fastboot the boot.img and then ruu if you want.

thanks. extracted boot.img from freeza's kernel and flashed from fastboot after unlocking. But still doesnt solve problem. Can you give me a link for boot.img
Pleassssssse HELP !!!!!!
I have the exactly the same problem, a full reboot result in boot loop, and can not fix it by now.
I guest the phone is rooted before OTA, so OTA can not flash kernel successfully because the wrong signature, and the phone will not boot because the wrong kernel.
I have tried ruu, fastboot boot recovery.img and etc, all failed.
The key point is that, the phone is rooted and you tried OTA. HTC OTA must have a stupid bug, it can not recovery from a partial update, or automatically roll back becasuse of the partial update, dem!
Please have a look at the guide/flashing notes in my signature. If u r unlocked u are likely not entering recovery correctly.
If u are trying to flash the Ruu u have to be locked or relocked. If u cant boot to android, run the xhausx's full Ruu zip from bootloader.

1) flashed RUU (exe) after relocking - flash completed without errors
2) ran xhausx's full RUU zip (PG86IMG_2.17.651.5.zip) from bootloader (could get into bootloader by pressing volum_up + power button. adb cannot connect to phone (as phone does not boot), to run 'adb rebooot bootloader')
But still doesn't solve problem and phone keeps rebooting, apparently kernel has not flashed properly.

You need to use the RUU 2.17 exe after you relock your phone... Then flash a copy of CWM or TWRP on it..
Then adb
fastboot boot recovery.img
Wipe and flash whatever you want
Just noticed u said India & carrier is reliance. Why would u be using a Sprint USA CDMA Ruu? Shouldn't u be using a GSM RUU version?

Have you tried to just run the RUU like you said boot turn debug on .... Then go to hboot flash your recovery...
Then fastboot boot recovery.img.
This should work I have unrooted my phone 3 times already in the past month Trial and Error on my part adb always found my phone...
I am tryin to figure out what is going wrong on the last part with TWRP...
Since you said after you do that it was a no go? What happend ? Adb should still be working since you just flashed the recovery...
Anyways I hope you get it solved man I am tryin to figure this problem out.
Do you have a rom already ready to be flashed on your SD card?
Problem is, since i’m not able to android boot I can't reboot bootloader from adb, as I can't connect adb without the phone normal booting. When I boot it just stays at the HTC white screen.
I have flashed twrp recovery from fastboot, but when I give command 'fastboot boot <twrpxxxxx>.img it just boots back to the HTC splash screen
You can go back to complete stock if you rename the RUU file PG86IMG.zip and load onto the root of sd card. Get into bootloader with [power+volume down] and it will automatically detect and load the zip file. This can only be done if you are relocked. I did this in order to get the latest update. After you get back to stock you can unlock and root again.

As I mentioned in earlier post, have tried flashing PG86IMG.zip from bootloader, but still phone doesn't boot properly and is in a bootloop.
You've used the following file and done these exact steps and allowed the phone to boot to full stock OS? (assuming 2.17.651.5 is correct version)
OPTION 2 - RUU.zip info:
I prefer the .exe version but xHausx’s “FULL” PG86IMG_2.17.651.5.zip may work for you (must be renamed PG86IMG.zip). Make sure you have plenty of battery/charge left!

**THIS WILL RETURN YOU TO FRESH OUT OF THE BOX**
You will not need any special drivers loaded, etc...
1.Download the stock ROM ZIP image from here: and rename it "PG86IMG.zip"
2.Copy it to SD Card
3.Reboot phone into hboot mode by holding volume down and then press power.
Keep volume down held until you boot into hboot mode.
4.In hboot mode the phone will scan the SD card with the image. Once it finds it will ask you if you want to update. Press "Power" to update.
5.Wait.... For a while. When it gets to "system" it will loop a few times. Its quite nerve wracking actually but after about 5 or 6 times it will complete.
6.Once the entire flash is complete it will prompt you to "press power to reboot." Press power and your phone will reboot to 100% stock ROM.

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?

Sent from my ADR6425LVW using XDA
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.

ok so i reverted back to stock to fix an issue i was having, it worked fine
but then i tried to flash a new version of speed rom to test it out, but then i forgot i need 4EXT to flash my rom
i wiped everything, and since my rom couldn't be flashed im stuck without a rom
ok, simple right? i just flash 4EXT and restore
but i didnt have an unlocked bootloader (even though i have S-OFF an unlocked bootloader is necessary) so i unlocked it, but i didnt have a rom when i unlocked it so i couldnt reboot
so know i cant flash a new recovery because it wont stick,
so i cant use any recovery, and i cant boot up either :/
is there a way to get out of this without going back to the RUU?
Did u try flashing cwm and seeing if that would stick... Just until u can get back running?
Sent from my HTC_Amaze_4G using xda premium
What are you using to flash the recovery? If you're trying to do it via fastboot commands it won't stick, trust me, I tried, use hasoon's tool, that seems to stick, oddly enough I switched out one of the image files with 4EXT but it still doesn't stick, anyways use the tool and flash cwm, restore then you can install 4EXT via recovery updater once you've got yourself a booted rom.

Question: Why don't you want to go back to the RUU?
The only thing I can think of is trying to extract your nandroid backups and then flash the stuff from the backups through fastboot. Don't ask me how to convert the data.ext4.tar and system.ext4.tar into an img file, I do not know how to do that, sorry :/
But if you do figure out how to convert them, flash them as follows:
fastboot flash userdata data.img
fastboot flash system system.img
fastboot flash boot boot.img
fastboot reboot
If you're lucky, you may be able to boot up, and then after that, reflash the recovery.
Alternatively, you could try
fastboot erase recovery
then
fastboot flash recovery recovery.img
and see if that sticks
(DO NOT TRY THIS IF YOU DON'T HAVE AN ENG BOOTLOADER, AS IT MAY NOT ALLOW YOU TO FLASH THE RECOVERY)
That's all I can think of right now. I'll try to come up with more ideas later.
i tried all of the above
i dont want to reflash the stock RUU -_-, i have to many files to transfer
U may not have a choice.
Either way... U should know that your phone isn't bricked dude... It turns on.

If you have the ruu you should be able to replace the recovery.img(or at least remove the one in it) and remove the hboot image, that way you won't have to reflash eng hboot.. I can find the link to the original leak that I flashed, but they simply took out the recovery and hboot image from the zip- it saves some steps.
As much time as you've probably spent doing everything else you probably could have done it 3 times already! LOL. I love you man. Haha.

You don't have a card reader, or some old phone that can connect by usb? You only need it on the external - I have a feeling that is why it goes on the external, the phone may not boot into anything, but you can alter the external without it.
And I think there is a fastboot push command or something like that, isn't there?

OH YEA. I forgot that was part of why I decided those phones suck. If they had removable battery and sdcard.. oh well. you're screwed.
So right now you don't have eng hboot flashed right? Because that is the ONLY reason that you can't flash recovery or other things with fastboot commands - if you don't, flash that, then you can flash recovery that will stick, then you can reboot into recovery, adb push the file you need, or restore a nandroid.. Just sayin.
no i have always had ENG hboot, and im unlocked,i dunno why it doesnt stick
Open cmd. Put ruu file in same directory where the cmd is running.
Fastboot oem rebootRUU
Fastboot flash zip (ruu filename here).zip
Wait until it completes. You may have to do it twice. After that's done, you'll have a stock rom.
Boot into it and then load up the eng hboot to the sdcard, rename it to PH85img.zip or whatever is correct, then reboot into bootloader, let it flash.
After all that is done, you should have an eng hboot. The next step would be to flash a custom recovery. I'll let you do the rest.

Eh, can someone please upload the latest 4ext recovery PG86IMG.zip for me? I want to flash a new ROM, but it requires 4ext. The system bootloops so I can't get it the normal way.
I found one around here, but it's for CDMA and my bootloader told me to go eat a rock. So GSM, please.
Cheers!

please note this is not a PG86IMG file. you have to extract recovery.img and flash via your pc using cmd. put your phone is fastboot and use this command in cmd
fastboot flash recovery recovery.img
make sure you have drivers for phone installed

HBoot 1.49.1107, S-Off. I was thinking of going that way, but that seems too much of a hassle for something that could be simply downloaded.

Thanks, I'll try this out right now.
Edit: I ended up flashing with fastboot, then installing an older version of the ROM, then installing recovery from the app and only THEN the ROM version I wanted. Apparently the latest version required the most recent 4ext, I'm dazed and confused but everything is working now.
Haven't used the phone for an year or so, restoring some old SMS messages out of the nandroid backup brought up some memories. Now I'll be using it to test my mobile app. Thanks again!
now that you can boot your rom, download 4ext Recovery Updater and update to latest version of 4ext from there
