ok so i have a htc evo 3d hboot 1.4 with s-off. my phone kept doing weird things like pushing buttons and scrolling thru pages while idle. so i decided to do a fresh rom flash. i got the bright idea to use the superwipe tool and it messed up my phone. i can go into boot loader but not to recovery because the tool wiped my clock work mod. so now i am stuck. pleas help!
Use fastboot to flash a new recovery image via boot loader/fast boot.
I believe the command is
Code:
fastboot flash recovery recovery.img

Guys,
I followed this guide to unlock my phone and gain superuser access step by step:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1239821
I then installed Rom Manager, and restarted in Recovery.
I placed this zip: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1421065 onto my SD Card, and did not rename it. Once in recovery I installed that ROM. It installed with no errors however now the phone gets stuck at the htc logo screen.
Any thoughts?
What was contained that .zip file you flashed, and did you make a backup of your system before you flashed?

Did you wipe data cache and dalvik? If not wipe again. If it bootloops again try pushing the kernel with fastboot.

The .zip contains the following files:
data
devices
kernel
META-INF
sdcard
system

mike, can you tell me how to push the update with fastboot, I'm kind of new to all of this telephone wizardry
I can get into FASTBOOT/HBOOT/RECOVERY, however nothing I do seems to help me get past the HTC Logo. Any thoughts? Maybe I'm not waiting long enough? Can someone please tell me exactly what I need to do (if I can even do something). I might just be approaching this whole process the wrong way.
Do I install a ROM from ZIP from Recovery? Do I need to fastboot an .img file first?
Sounds like your hboot 1.5 and your phone is hanging due to you need to place a copy of your recovery in your adb folder...
The while in Hboot
Using adb with phone plugged in and debug turned on
fastboot boot recovery.img
Then wipe and flash the rom you were trying to flash...
You can't just flash a rom with recovery since your s-on
Two methods
One is fastboot boot recovery.img which is easy
Other is boot.img pain in the ass
I tried booting directly into recovery like you just said. I am using TWRP recovery.img file.
Can this be caused by the type of ROM that I am trying to install?
Everything works fine, the .zip gets applied and seems to install correctly, but it still hangs at the htc logo.
I also forgot to mention that originally I used Clockwork Recovery Mod, which i got from the market, and selected the option to boot into recovery. I don't know if that makes any difference.
You should Google shooter ruu. Get back to stock. Retry this with another shot at reading the instructions.
You must plug your phone into pc while in fastboot and give it a command to boot recovery recovery.img .
Then reflash a rom.
Read more I'm hboot 1.4 and I can still flash a 1.5 hboot correctly cause I've read how to.

If u haven't figured it out yet, see if this helps:
[Guide] My Hboot 1.50 HTC Unlock/recovery/rom/kernel flashing notes http://forum.xda-developers.com/show....php?t=1495358
If u have updated your phone to the newest radio in the 2.17.651.5 update you may have problems if the Rom is based on an earlier kernel/radio like I think Warm is, but I could be wrong.
You may have flashed the Rom incorrectly & not had the kernel get flashed causing the boot loop.

I accidentally flashed a GSM version of shooter ROM to my CDMA phone s-off hboot 1.4. It erased my recovery (twrp) When I try to get into boot loader i don't have an option for my regular recovery and when i choose recovery it gos to like the android recovery that comes when its not rooted and only has the boot loader options no USB or anything and I can't see how I can get anywhere so i can USB over a good stock rom/radio and all? Am i screwed?

Your best bet is probably to dig up an older RUU and run that on your pc, while booted to the bootloader which will restore it bone stock.
how do i run it on the PC? Can you point me to a link? I DL a stock rom with stock radio and all to get it back to normal and when i plug in the USB to windows it changes from fastboot to fastboot usb. But when i run recovery it just trys to install the img86dimg or whatever that file is named a bunch of times and then brings me back to the same recovery screen with the skating androids not my regular recovery that i used previously
cmd into fastboot folder
get to fastboot folder. paste wanted recovery inside with fastboot.exe
fastboot flash recovery [recoverynamefile].img
use while phone is fastboot usb mode.
thx i figured it out myself aand nd a lot of google. I kept trying to flash the zip file then i read that the fastboot flashes differently then the recoveries and you need the .img file of the recovery so i found one and it worked. Phone back up and running, that was scary for a moment but i knew as long as i was getting into the skating android screen there was hope still just wasnt sure how
All you had to do was run a recovery zip in bootloader and let install. Then go flash a cdma rom. 2 minutes max.

Hello everyone, i rooted my Evo 3d about 4-5 months ago via HTC unlock method and when i go into fastboot screen (holding down Vol - and Power when phone is off) it says S-ON and all that. (just so you guys have an idea where im coming from)
now the thing is every time i want to flash a ROM or kernel or even go into recovery i have to flash the recovery image via fastboot so i can THEN go into CWM.
The other day one of my friends showed me his EVO 3d and he had an updated CWM recovery that was touch screen based (with bigger options) and he could access it from the phone per-say without having to flash the image via fastboot like i have to everytime i want to update my ROM.
Where can i go about finding out how to update my CWM recovery or should i first UNROOT my phone then re-root it to install this new recovery? My primary concern is just being able to access the Recovery without the need of fastboot.
Im afraid to mess things up since i lost my warranty when i unlocked via HTC method.
I am sorry to say that. You can not downgrade your hboot version and forget s-off (for now) does not matter which c.recovery you use. If you dont want to boot in recovery with your pc , you can use GUI app. Sorry. MY friend

The cwm recovery can be booted without using fastboot too.
I think you always use "fastboot boot cwm.img" command to boot the recovery right?
But if you use "fastboot flash recovery cwm.img" you can always boot it without the use of fastboot.
And if you want to use the recovery like your friends 3d then download and flash this -> http://www.clockworkmod.com/rommanager
Or you can also flash TWRP 2.0 touch screen recovery from here -> http://teamw.in/project/twrp2
I prefer twrp 2.0 than clockworkmod as cwm is littlebit buggy.
NOTE: Even though you can boot recovery from your phone itself without using fastboot, you must boot recovery from fastboot for flashing kernels or ROMS with kernels different than your current one.
i have been running Synergy Rom and causing a lot of problems so I have been tryin to install a numerous amount of roms and after wiping the phone back to factory and the dalvik then when its time to reboot the system i reboot the phone it just stays in the HTC boot up screen. so after a wait 10 or so min i just reload the Synergy rom which is the only one that works.
i am also running Revolutionary CWM v4.0.1.4 if that helps
i would really appreciate it if someone could point me into the right the direction thank you.
Are you on hboot 1.5? Are you flashing the correct kernel?
We're comin from a pure power source.
Yes it is and to be honest I haven't flashed them with any kernels cuz I never have before
Hmmmm, and you're doing a full complete wipe right? Which recovery are you using
We're comin from a pure power source.
Revolutionary CWM v4.0.1.4 and yes full wipe and dalvik.
Have you tried a different recovery?

ok as you know the roms come as .zips and we apply them through recovery.... some times that recovery doesnt writ the boot img correctly.... try installing ANY rom....then try to boot up... if it hangs at htc then pull the battery out then put it right back in and hold vol down and press power..then connect the phone to your computer so on your phone you see "fastboot usb"now the rom you tried installing that was the zip have a copy of that on your computer and open up with any program you use to open zips...extract that boot.img file to your fast boot file and where adb is too ,once extracted go back to your terminal window and type in
fastboot flash boot boot.img
it should say that its sending the data then writing it and then from there wait about 30 seconds and then select reboot and the rom should boot up

You cannot directly install ROMs with custom kernels on hboot 1.5 .
You always have to use "fastboot boot <your recovery>.img" or "fastboot flash boot boot.img" like the above post says..... If you dont use PC to flash ROMs with custom kernels , you will always get stuck on the HTC screen.
If you want to be able to flash ROMs / kernels / radios etc without PC, downgrade your hboot from 1.5 to 1.4.
Get flash image GUI from market to bypass fast boot and install custom kernels, or downgrade using unbeknownforce method and closeones live cd

Idk if someone already said this but for 1.5 boot you need to go into fasboot usb . Fastboot boot recovery.img
Replace "recovery" with recovery file name. If your using 4.0.1.0 it might be. Cwm-4.0.1.4-shooter.img something like that
Second option is use 4EXT and you won't need to use your computer to flash rooms or kernels
Sent from my PG86100 using Tapatalk
First I assume you have the adb drivers.
place new rom on sd card
boot phone in bootloader, select fastboot
Access the adb folder via CMD
type in fastboot boot recovery.img
it should say waiting for device then connect..
you'll see the recovery screen
this will let you wipe and install new rom on hboot 1.5
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.
