The OTA file is the RUU, you can flash it via stock recovery.
Just boot into stock recovery, when it gives you the red triangle error, hold volume up and press the power button, should give you a menu, choose to install update from external, select the OTA RUU on your sd card and hit the power button to install.

Ok guys, so I attempted to unroot my phone and return to s-on because I have to take it in to Sprint, but the thing is, I'm pretty sure I bricked it. I got the stock RUU installed and turned S-ON, but now it's stuck on the htc screen. So, here's the thing, I was wondering, is there a way to get S-OFF from HBOOT or Fastboot? If so, I think I may be able to fix this thing, if not, ****.
Well if your phone is S-ON and has the stock RUU installed... Whats the problem?
Edit: I mean if you're taking it to Sprint...

If it turns on then it may be fixable. Unfortunately I do not know how. I tried to unroot mine and totally bricked it where it would not even turn on.

1)Download the RUU here:
http://www.multiupload.com/2QWMDPG2M8
2)Rename the file to PG86IMG
2)Copy to the root of your sd card
3)Boot into bootloader by pulling battery and holding power+volume down until you see bootloader.
4)Bootloader will scan for PG86IMG
5)Click power button to select install for the file
6)Bootloader will now install
7)Tell your EVO 3D to reboot
Dude! I had tried that before and I don't know what is different about that, but it worked! I think your RUU may have been better than the one I got originally. Thanks!
Was messing with my Evo View and trying to get updates to work since I kept getting the "error 1233" so I tapped the HTC update check and there was available update I figured it might be what's keeping me from seeing the HC options so tapped it and updated it. The Evo shutdown and rebooted without any issue then when back to updates and didn't want to work so I rebooted and now I'm stuck on the soft brick with a hboot of 6.13.1002 and I can't do anything from there.
ANY HELP PLZ.
Needs moar details before anyone can help you. Are you s-off'ed?
What update were you on before updating?
It's s-off was on the 1.13 hboot and still running the GB firmware, I was trying to use the hboot that was provided for HC but fastboot was giving me an error saying it couldnt read it or something.
I used the update under the HTC firmware since all the others were giving me error codes 1233.
If you're still S-OFF (Poor move doing OTA updates with s-off and root) Boot into the the bootloader (power+volume down), select recovery, boot into recovery and fix yourself.

How do I run it from fast-boot?
yeah, put the view in fastboot mode, then just run the exe.
Well I got myself into a real pickle here. I was trying to get the newer OTA with my unlocked rooted 3D I tried everything I have here on how to do it but now my phone just reboots itself after it get to the sprint screen sometimes it does make it to where is show the info bar at the top with the time but reboots soon after. I have tried a stock recovery and a new OTA RUU using hboot and the PG86IMG.IMG which did install at hboot but I still have the same issues. Any ideas on how to at least get back to normal?

What hboot are you ? Also what software are you on 2.08 ? You are CDMA I am guessing? If all else fails man boot into your recovery and wipe just not your SD card and go back to hboot relock your phone and use the latest 2.17 ruu exe.. Works every time and then root again and your set... This info is for CDMA only Not GSM>>>
THanks reaper. I was on hboot 1.5 and CDMA sorry for not stating. I ended up just taking it back to sprint and they gave me a new phone which I am actually happy about because of a few blemishes I had on the phone. I think I will wait till after ICS and see if they can get it rooted. I really only want the ability to wireless tether.
Again thanks for the reply
Hello everybody
The new ICS update for the ROGERS EVO 3D just came out yesterday, so I restored my phone to the original firmware (via restoring the backup I did in the recovery) and then proceeded to download the OTA update. After it finished, the phone rebooted into the recovery (i have 4-ext touch recovery) and started installing. After it finished, the phone rebooted and then got stuck on the white HTC screen. I managed to enter the recovery again and restore the original firmware again. What is that I'm doing wrong here? Here is some helpful info:
Rogers EVO 3D, GSM version
Unlocked bootloader (HTCDEV method), S-ON
carrier unlocked
HBOOT 1.49.0008
OS is rooted
I'm in the same boat but I'm not able to do a recovery. I went through the update process and when the phone rebooted it got stuck on the white htc screen. I can get it into the bootloader menu but when i choose recovery it starts but then i get an error with a pic of the device and the red yield sign. If i choose factory reset it just gets stuck at the white htc. I read some other posts and I saw that having an unlocked bootloader may cause issues with updates so that may be your issue as for me, I'm not sure what I can do. I may just need the actual update file to redo the update but I'm not sure where to find it.
Same here, but I don't get half way through the ota update before I see the red triangle and exclamation mark. Phone will boot into stock recovery (which I would assume you need instead of modded recovery) and the update starts, but doesn't complete. I pull the battery and the phone boots up normally. Just can't seem to get through the update. Could be something to do with being s-off I would guess.

Same problem but whit s-off
I have been predicting that this would happen... ICS failures with non-standard HBOOTs. Good luck.
Probably will have to wait for an RUU or custom.
I'd recommend using the GB ruu to get you back to full stock. Always found Rogers ota updates (possibly all carriers?) won't install if you're rooted or using a custom recovery.
I had to install the ruu via renaming the rom.zip to PG86IMG.zip and copying it to the sd card so that the bootloader would auto flash it. Running the ruu exe tossed up all kinds of errors.
It will put everything back to Rogers stock. After that just setup wifi and do the 2 Rogers OTA updates.
Once in ICS, it's easy peasy to get recovery and root back.
Also, for what it's worth, Go Backup is awesome for going rom to rom and not needing a full backup. Use it on rooted rom, then use it to restore after rooting new rom. Will do all your apk's and everything.
1st post here after years of lurking. Yay.

Alright thanks a lot
Just an update on what I did. I was able to reload the stock gb rom for rogers using the exe file, then I went through the 2 updates that came up when checking and ics is now up and running on my phone. However in my attempts of trying to fix the original problem, I managed to re-lock my bootloader before flashing to stock rom and I had s-on the whole time. hope this help.
i switched to stock like.. a week back?
jus got ota on 4th
i WAS rooted and using juopunutbear's hboot *u can jus get the hboot from their website*
so i jus flashed back stock recovery.. and updated.. and success.. lost root though.. and i was back to stock bootloader..
used the PG86IMG with juopunutbear's bootloader and 4ext recovery.. and flashed cwm supersu.. v0.91 i think.. i dunno.. latest one.. and bam.. im on stock.. rooted.. and works perfectly..
Possible sollution
Maybe try flashing one of the customized ROMs that are based on the latest OTA update. I'm sure Anryl's newest rom is blazing-fast and stable. You can find it in the gsm android development forum and flash it via recovery. Make sure you have the latest 4ext recovery installed, though.
where can a i find that stock rogers rom i modified mine and that might be the reason i get a security failure in hboot. s is on. when i run the ruu file in windows to downgrade i get error 155. when i run the the update from about phone. it locks up with blue android guy and yellow exclamation mark. i remove the battery and she boots fine with no changes.
I am trying to do same. Get stuck on HTC screen. I have S-ON. Was on cobra 2.4 prior.
If anyone can give details on how to fix it, it would be great! Please no saying "install exe". I need to know which exe etc.
just wanted to tell everyone that in order for the ota update to work properly, you need to be running stock unrooted firmware with a locked bootloader. Just relock your bootloader, reinstall the stock firmware, upgrade to ics via ota, then re-unlock and re-root.
Hi
I have a HTC EVO 3D from Rogers that was got messed up during changing networks... rooted the phone for no apparent reason... to now get a update for it for ics from the provider and it bricked the phone.
It's stuck at HTC boot screen, can get fastboot USB from bootloader. recovery gets a ! in a triangle and factory reset doesn't work, freezes at splash screen after restarting the phone. Was stupid not making a backup or searching for programs to back it up before I went ahead and clicked update
It has HTC boot-loader 1.49 s-on but is rooted.
I am looking for clear(fix my evo for dummies) step by step instructions with correct installation for my model of phone, HTC EVO 3D Rogers GSM, or anything that could replace the os to get my phone to be useful again I'm currently using my backup phone a HTC G1 HTC ftw
Try kingcobra's rom, ota from rogers will not boot due to the fact that your phone is rooted, kingcobra's rom is based on rogers ota, flash it and leave it.

Go to the gsm development forum and download the RUU for the phone, and restore it to stock unrooted OS. Before you do that though, make sure that your phone's BOOTLOADER IS LOCKED. Look up how to re-lock your bootloader. After you relock your bootloader, you can proceed with restoring the phone.
Soooo.... basically, what I'm getting from this is, if you like having a locked bootloader, CWM and root, don't bother trying to install this OTA update because it's a headache. Agree?
The phone's not mine, it's my wife's, and she doesn't want anything special or like the idea of me messing around in her phone.
I was about to install this late last night, just about to hit that button, then I thought, "what about the bootloader? what about root? what about the fact that it's now unlocked and being used on a carrier other than Rogers?"
I received a replacement Rezound today and have messed it up beyond my repair. When I powered the new phone on it was on the old GB software. I manually searched for an update which was finally found. I downloaded the update and went through the process of installing it. About half way through the update, a red triangle with an exclamation point appeard. I tried this process twice and then decided to run the RUU that I had installed on my sd card from my prior phone. The RUU was the most recent ICS.
At this point I was not S-off or rooted, but completly stock. The RUU did not fully run but it did update my HBOOT and Radio's. When I boot the phone, it is still on GB software. I have some how changed my bootloader to show Tampered as well.
I was able to flash a zip file of AmonRa 3.15 and was able to flash ViperRom 1.03. I thought this would correct the problems and allow me to S-Off but it did not.
I thought that if I could S-off I could maybe get this all straight. But I am not sure.
At this point, I have a phone that reboots after a few short minutes.
Any help will be greatly appreciated!!

If it tanked doing the OTA ICS update right out of the box, I'd call VZW for another phone...
Thank you for the reply, but my hboot now says tampered and relocked. I do not think I could send the phone back in this condition and get a new one.
Anyone else have any ideas?
Un-lock using HTC unlock then s-off your phone using some wire tied to a couple thumb tacks. Run latest ruu again, then install recovery, then flash Rom.

Why do you not hate webOS? Awful.
In case anyone else has this problem, I was able to re-lock and flash the RUU through adb to get everything corrected. I'm now rooted, S-off, and running inef 1.2!
