stuck in bootloader after trying to flash sense4boot.img,relocked bootloader and now no recovery and cmd in adb,fastboot does nothing.downloaded ruu from htc put in zip and renamed it PH98IMG,moved to sd,booted into bootloader and let it run. it turned security warning off but now i am stuck.what now any ideas? thanks for your time in advance
Ruu needs to be run twice, then install amon ra 3.15, then the Rom of your choosing.
Here's amon ra, rename it ph98img.zip and run it in bootloader AFTER your run ruu 2x.

thanks for the fast reply,installed all three one after another using ph98img and when reboot it goes back to bootloader/security warning?is the ruu under kernel at htcdev.com
FIXED heres how Copy Internal SD card contents to your computer. The Relocking/RUU process wipes the phones internal memory. I also recommend having a backup copy of your SD card kept on the computer and updated every so often.
Place the Android Police RUU file on your external SD card, and rename to "PH98IMG.zip"
Useful Tip - In Windows 7 click on "Organize" in the windows explorer menu. Then select "Folder and Search Options" When The Folder Option windo appears click on "View" and uncheck "Hide Extensions of Known File types." This will prevent windows from naming a file PH98IMG.zip.zip
Relock the bootloader using Fastboot. On your computer browse the the folder fastboot.exe is in. If it's C"\Android" then you would hold Shift and right click on "Android" and select "Open Command Window Here
Connect your phone to USB, and boot your phone into fastboot by powering off, then powering into hboot holding power + vol down
When hboot comes up on the screen it may show it's "loading" the PH98IMG.zip file. Just wait for it to load and say no to the update. Then select fastboot, and when you enter fastboot, "Fastboot USB" will display on the screen in red
The command prompt should display "C:\Android..." Type fastboot oem lock and hit enter
Your bootloader will show relocked, may give a security warning, and saying "Tampered" is a good thing
Now that it's locked, choose bootloader instead of fastboot. Rebooting the bootloader will allow it to see the PH98IMG.zip (RUU) file again. It may take a minute or two to load, and will then ask if you would like to update. Select yes and press Power to begin
IMPORTANT - This is tricky and where people mess up in the proccess. You have to completely flash this RUU twice for it to write everything correctly. In fact it may even seem like three times because of how it reboots itself along the way.
Once it starts update you can unplug the USB cord. This is a large update, so it will not be instant like a tiny kernel. You're writing 650 MB of updates as opposed to 3 MB in the kernel install you're used to.
It will show you on the screen what it's doing. It will probably power itself on and off a couple of times and come back to bootloader or fastboot. When it does, just reboot bootloader and say yes to update. Now it will be updating steps 1 thru 18 in sequential order. Sometimes it does everything without going back to the fastboot screen and that's ok. Once it does the updates 1 thru 7 or 1 thru 18 it will probably reboot itself and show the white HTC screen. When it's on this white boot animation, pull the battery and boot into bootloader again (power + vol down) and select yes to run the PH98IMG.zip. This second time on the full update, it may appear to be doing step 7 repeatedly, it's supposed to do that just let it keep doing it's thing. When the update is complete, it will say that it successfully completed and press power to reboot. Asking you to press power to reboot after the second full flash is how you know that it's finished with the complete update.
It will be a long first boot, but will boot itself into the new stock ICS rom from the RUU
Installation process - Part 2
You should now be booted into the stock RUU rom and sitting at a setup screen. You need to go through this setup screen but do not need to sign into anything. Just press next and skip to get through it to the homescreens.
Place the phone in disc drive mode so that you can access the external SD card.
Remove the PH98IMG.zip from your external SD card. You can delete it if you already have a copy on your PC or have no reason to save it. Just so long as it's off the SD card.
Now power the phone down and then boot back into hboot with power_vol down just like before, put it in Fastboot -USB mode once again plugged into the computer
Now you will use the HTCdev unlock key that you gathered at the beginning. It may already be in the correct folder or you may need to copy it Needs to be in the same folder as the fastboot.exe application, either C:\Android or C:\Android-SDK\Platform Tools
Your command prompt window should still be open from when you relocked the bootloader. This time type the command fastboot flash unlocktoken Unlock_code.bin and press enter
Your bootloader should unlock, you have to say yes to unlock on the phone itself and upon being confirmed, the phone will reboot
Allow the phone to reboot itself, and then turn the phone off and power back into hboot/Fastboot - USB again
The amon RA recovery img was downloaded at the very start with the other files. Rename this file to recovery.img and place it in the same folder as the fastboot.exe application in Android SDK (Hint - Same place you dropped the Unlock_code.bin
In your command window type fastboot flash recovery recovery.img and press enter
then fastboot reboot you now have recovery put rom of choice on sd flash that and what ever else developer for rom has you to.hope it works for you and last but not least CRIDET to theandroidsoul.com this is where i found the text and it was Posted on March 4, 2012 in Hacks, HTC by Kapil also THANKS to ericsignals for pointind in right direction.

Can anyone point me in the direction of a Stock RUU for HTC EVO 3D CDMA hboot 1.50
This is the scenario...
My phone is booting up into Hboot on its own. I have tried using the PG86IMG.zip and it loads, however it just loops and goes back to the bootloader.
This is how it looks...
Loading (PC86DIAG.zip )
No Image!
Loading (PC86DIAG.ndh)
No Image!
Found PG86IMG.zip
Checking
This is when it returns to the bootloader.

Hello,
Try the following
1) Remove the PC86IMG.zip file from your SD Card (or remove the SD Card)
2) Reboot your phone
3) After fastboot goes through its check, navigate to "Recovery" using the volume buttons. Press power to select it
A) Did it pull up the recovery? If so flash a new ROM AND CLEAR ALL DATA
B) Did it not go to recovery? If so you will need to install the Fastboot/ADB Binaries and Drivers to flash a new recovery. Once a new recovery is installed, a new ROM can be flashed.
Let me know if this does not help
Please use the Q&A Forum for questions Thanks
Moving to Q&A
Google "rootevo3dnew.zip" and you should find a site that says something like evohacks.com or something like that. Download that package and extract it to your computer. Now follow these instructions...
1. Go into the extracted folder, find the clockworkmod recovery image and rename it "cwm.img" (for easier typing).
2. Next, open your command prompt and redirect to the root evo 3d folder. (Or ifyou have windows vista/seven, hold shift and right click the evo 3d folder an click "open command prompt here"
3. Turn on fastboot USB on your phone since ur in the bootloader.
4. Next type fastboot Boot cwm.img and it should boot clockworkmod. Wipe your device Amanda flash a Tom.
This is all assuming you know how to work adb / fastboot and have a windows PC, hope it helps.!!

This will explain everything you need to do to get S-Off, ICS ROM, ENG HBOOT, Recovery and Root.
Things you need to download:
My AIO Kit. Get the full version from here.
SuperUser from here
ENG HBOOT from here
ICS ROM from here
Stock T-Mobile 1.43 ROM from here
READ S-Off Instructions from here.
S-Off Tool from here. (Download is in the bottom)
As always, I do not take any responsibility for what happens to your phone. I've done this myself and I can confirm that it works.
This is for T-Mobile Users ONLY (for now). I'll edit it for other users soon.
BACK UP YOUR INFO FROM YOUR PHONE MEMORY AND SD CARD.
1. Make sure USB Debugging is enabled. Go to Settings -> Applications -> Development -> USB Debugging.
2. Download my tool and run it. If your bootloader is unlocked (most likely it is), on my tool, press "Boot into Bootloader". After you are in bootloader, run the "Relock Bootloader" command
3. Put the Stock T-Mobile 1.43 ROM on to your SD Card. Make sure it in the root folder. Rename the file to PH85IMG. Run the command on my tool to "Boot into Bootloader" It should scan for the ROM. If it doesn't (It may be in Fastboot mode, that's why) press the power button so it switches from Fastboot into HBOOT mode.
4. It will detect it and press the Volume Up button. It will flash the Stock ROM. After the phone boots up, re enable USB Debugging again.
5. Get your unlock_code.bin from HTCDev (unless you have it) and place it in the Data folder of my tool.
6. Run the "Unlock Bootloader" command.
7. When it sends the .bin file to your phone, press Volume Up and the Power Button. It will unlock your bootloader. Re enable USB Debugging again.
8. Flash CWM 5.0.2.7 recovery from my tool.
9. Place the SuperUser zip file onto your SD Card (not the internal one!). From my tool, press "Boot into Recovery". Go to "Install Zip From SD Card", "Choose Zip from SD Card" and flash "Superuser-3.0.7-efghi-signed.zip". Press the back button and select "Reboot System Now"
10. Read the S-Off instructions carefully and watch the video.
BACK UP YOUR INFO FROM YOUR PHONE MEMORY AND SD CARD.
Put an blank memory card in your phone. Run the tool and do the wire trick.
11. After it is all done, re enable USB Debugging. Put the ICS ROM on your SD Card. Rename it to PH85IMG. Run the command on my tool to "Boot into Bootloader" It should scan for the ROM. If it doesn't (It may be in Fastboot mode, that's why) press the power button so it switches from Fastboot into HBOOT mode. Press Volume Up and it will flash the ICS ROM. (It will boot twice into bootloader so DO NOT TOUCH YOUR PHONE). After it is done, press the power button and the phone will restart.
12. When it turns back on, re enable USB Debugging. Put the ENG HBOOT on your SD Card. Rename it to PH85IMG. Run the command on my tool to "Boot into Bootloader" It should scan for the HBOOT. If it doesn't (It may be in Fastboot mode, that's why) press the power button so it switches from Fastboot into HBOOT mode. Press Volume Up and now you have ENG HBOOT.
13. Flash CWM 5.0.2.7 recovery from my tool.

If you are on the ICS leak, I believe the new HBOOT that comes with it does not support flashing recoveries. I could be wrong though.
If you want to S-Off, follow from step 5 and onward.
If the new HBOOT supports flashing recoveries, do as you said, 5-9.

Great tutorial Hasoon but shouldn't you mention in steps 3, 11 and 12 that once you've finished flashing the ph85img file and rebooted in each case that that file should be deleted to avoid any conflict with the next step renaming to ph85img? If noobs already see a ph85img file, they might think the correct one is already there instead of deleting the old one and renaming the next step file ph85img which would be a totally different file. Just my thoughts to avoid any confusion which inevitably will happen. lol
Unlocked via HTC DEV my old info wasnt working for whatever reason.
Followed steps recovery flashed , superuser flashed.
Titanium cant get root priveleges. Updates SU DLd busybox.
Not sure if Im rooted or if the app is wonky.

Download Root Check Basic and take a screenshot of what it says. Let me see if the files got the correct permissions.
Weird , BusyBox was not launching anything. Rebooted now it does says SU not giving permission.
SU switched from Prompt to Allow no difference.
Update stops at checking for root.
RootCheck "sorry this device does not have proper root access"
For clarity S On , Bootloader is unlocked , CWM is installed , I flashed SU zip twice. ICS leak installed prior to all the above. S On, rooted , custom rom prior to ICS update.

Thanks but I think that the directions could be even more explicit.
Using the all in one tool, it is not clear whether the phone needs to be connected to usb (some people may forget), and it's not clear what mode the phone needs to be in. Does it need to be in the bootloader menu by pressing vol down and power? Or can you just plug the phone in via usb and start it working?

Hey Everyone,
So i want to be able to flash all the cool ICS ROMS. I am on stock firmware with S-OFF (attached Screen Shot). My questions is can I flash new firmware (3.11.605.22) and start flashing all the ICS ROMs? I would rather update to ICS firmware then to install the 'old firmware patch'. Am I making a good call on this?
Here is what I plan to do:
Follow steps here to upgrage firmware.
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1536297
But since I am S-OFF I am thinking I can just do step 5. Since I am S-OFF do I need to unlock boot loader?
1. Download the 3.11.605.22 Leaked RUU: LINK MD5 = 58b0f42defc689650ddd5128f195dc7d
2. Rename the RUU to "PH98IMG.zip"
3. Copy the renamed RUU to the root of your external SD Card.
4. Re-lock the bootloader.
Open a DOS prompt and change directory to the folder where you have fastboot.exe
Reboot to bootloader
Type "fastboot oem lock" (No Quotes) while you are in bootloader (fastboot usb).
5. Reboot to bootloader again via recovery menu.
The bootloader will begin to scan the PH98IMG.zip - This will take awhile
When it asks if you want to update press volume up for yes.
The update will make the first pass - This will take awhile as well
The phone will reboot and sit on the white HTC screen - DO NOT freak out once again "this will take awhile"
When it is done it will reboot back to fastboot mode.
Make sure "Bootloader" is highlighted and then press the power button to run the second pass of the install - once again "this will take awhile " - watch the screen to verify ok next to each partition
Once complete press the power button to reboot.
Your device will now begin booting on the newly installed Leaked RUU
6. Once booted skip everything in setup
7. Proceed to http://htcdev.com/ to unlock the bootloader - Unlock keys do expire so you may need to request a new key.
8. Install the custom recovery of your choice.
9. Flash RezROM as instructed above.
Then start flashing Clean ROM or Ivysaur ROM.
Thanks for any help...

sorry didn't get back to you sooner, was doing something else.
Since no one has helped you, i'll give you some tips.
there is a newer leak you can flash. http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1639731
so download, rename to PH98IMG.ZIP, and put on the actual SD CARD not the internal card. It will wipe the internal card.
Reboot into bootloader, and when asked chose volume up to flash. In my case it should flash through twice on its own. If not click power when it gets done flashing the hboot. Remove the PH98IMG.ZIP file off the sd card, and then reboot into the bootloader and chose factory reset. If you don't you may have radio issues. I did.
you do not need to unlock as you are s-off. grab the PH98IMG.ZIP i attached and flash to install amon ra 3.15
then you can flash whatever ICS rom you want. Just note you will need to flash a file if you go back to GB to change the mount points back. So opposite of the ICS OLD FIRMWARE PATCH.
You will not be able to use fastboot commands with this HBOOT. You will have to flash anything you want to flash through hboot with a PH98IMG.ZIP file.
Hey nosympathy,
No problem with the delay, thanks again for the guidance. I see you said I will not be able to run fastboot cmds with this new hboot. Will this be an issue? I am not saying I am a power user on flashing ROMs but could I ever get into a situation where I will need to run fastboot cmds?

Really only if you needed to say flash a recovery, or a boot.img without them being in a PH98IMG.ZIP file.
In all likely hood, team juopunutbear will probably end up hex editing the actual ICS release hboot, so we can run these commands. You can also unlock the bootloader again, but it makes it a pain to say locked instead of relocked again.
So more than likely, you would not on a daily basis need these commands.
This is long, but it's nice for noobs because it's detailed. It's honestly kind of fun, I promise. I'm assuming you have WINDOWS. This is based off of the guide by torxx!. It's modified because some of the info is outdated (you don't have to flash the boot.mg separately, for example). If you are NOT a noob you can just look at the "overview" for each step.
UNLOCKING YOUR DEVICE WILL WIPE YOUR DEVICE. THIS IS A SECURITY FEATURE. BACKUP FIRST.
Part 1- gaining unlock token
Overview: go to htcdev.com and unlock bootloader
Be sure you've turned off fast boot option in power menu; usb debugging should be on (settings -> developer options).
Go to http://www.htc.com/www/software/htc-sync-manager/[1] and install HTC SYNC. Alternatively, if you know what you're doing, you can install these drivers:
x86 http://www.mediafire.com/?qabo1tue2v1ky75 x64 http://www.mediafire.com/?8dl8s3l9mr6ggr9
Go on http://www.htcdev.com[4] and create yourself an account on HTCDEV.
Download these adb/fastboot files: http://d-h.st/RvD
Make a new folder anywhere. We'll use C:/fastboot as an example.
Extract the zip downloaded to the new folder
Go Here http://www.htcdev.com/bootloader/[6] and select "All Other Supported Models" and "then begin unlock bootloader" (check the boxes, click proceed, all that good stuff). YOU CAN IGNORE THE DIRECTIONS THAT THEY TELL YOU (and follow this guide instead).
Power off your phone. Power your phone on by holding power and volume down.
Highlight 'Fastboot' the volume buttons then press power to "select".
Plug your phone into your PC and open a Command Prompt. (windows XP - Click Start > Run > type CMD in box then press OK; Windows 7 - Click Start > type CMD in search box then press Enter) Change directory to your folder where we put fastboot files by typing cd c:\fastboot for example.*
*Alternatively, you can just hold down shift and right click in the folder and select "open command window here". Neat huh?
Type this into your command prompt window: fastboot oem get_identifier_token
Select & copy the text as per step 9 on the HTCDev website
Paste your identifier token into the box at the bottom and submit
You Will Very Shortly Receive an email from HTCDev with a link to the second part of the instructions and your "Unlock_code.bin" attached
Download the "Unlock_code.bin" from the email and save it to the same folder that we extracted fastboot files
Type this into your command prompt window: fastboot flash unlocktoken Unlock_code.bin
The Display Will change on your phone, press Vol+ to accept and power to confirm.
Part 2
Overview: flash your recovery. Boot into recovery. Turn phone off if it boots into OS. Boot into back into recovery. You're done!
Download a recovery:
TWRP (the one I use): http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2173870
CWM 2: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2172979
CWM: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2173863
Place the Recovery file to the folder where the fastboot.exe is.
Same thing as above- boot (volume down + power) into the bootloader and highlight 'Fastboot' the volume buttons then press power to "select".
Do the same thing as with the command prompt above. This time, however, you'll be typing:
fastboot flash recovery "name_of_the_recovery.img"
For example:
fastboot flash recovery openrecovery-twrp-2.5.0.0-m7.img
then type:
fastboot erase cache
From the menu, boot into recovery (use volume to move up and down, power to select). The phone might boot to the OS instead of recovery, don't worry!
Turn off phone then turn on (while holding volume down) to boot back into the bootloader.
TAMPERED shows up, boot into recovery and now your recovery should be working!
Part 3- obtaining root
Overview: flash a super tool
Download a super user tool for root:
SuperSU (I use this one): http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1538053
SuperUser: http://download.clockworkmod.com/superuser/superuser.zip
Alternatively, download this: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2252959. This is a stock rooted rom for ATT. If you download and flash this instead of the super user tool, you're done. (This rom includes super user) Or you can download a custom rom such as this one: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2183023
Turn on your phone again (and disable usb debugging) and connect to computer, copy the .zip super user tool to a location you remember ON the phone.
Flash it with the Recovery: Power off your device and then hold the VOL DOWN + Power to boot into the Bootloader Navigate with VOL and Power to Recovery Now flash the .zip:
- install zip from sdcard
- choose zip from sdcard
- select the downloaded SuperSU/SuperUser zip file and flash it
- Reboot now
You're not out of the woods yet! The stock kernel is system write protected, so you still can't modify it (changes won't "stick"). You'll have to flash a custom rom or a kernel if you want stock instead.
I recommend these kernels: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2255900 or http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2233665&highlight=menu
Download it.
Installing custom rom/kernel ("flashing a rom")
Overview: Download Rom, boot into recovery and wipe and then flash.
According to Shenye, even though your device is s-on, you can still flash boot now. So just do this:
Turn on your phone again (and disable usb debugging) and connect to computer, copy the .zip kernel/cutom rom to a location you remember ON the phone.
Flash it with the Recovery: Power off your device and then hold the VOL DOWN + Power to boot into the Bootloader Navigate with VOL and Power to Recovery Now flash the .zip:
- install zip from sdcard
- choose zip from sdcard
- select the downloaded SuperSU/SuperUser zip file and flash it
- Reboot now
I feel like this title should be changed to clarify that it's unlocking the bootloader, not the SIM lock.
Just wanted to say this tutorial was 100% dead on and what I used to unlock bootloader and root/rom my One.
Oddity - Did everything, I've got root but I -AM- out of the woods. Was installing bulletproof mod through recovery but it kept failing due to missing a MD5 file or something -- Trying to work that out through that thread atm but anyway, rebooted the phone a couple of times now and I still have root, Tit back up works OR are we talking about things like CPU clocking won't work since it can't rewrite?
Sticking this.
Excellent tutorial. One thing to add:
If you flash the TWRP recovery you link to, after TWRP boots for the first time, if you reboot into System, TWRP will offer to install SuperSU for you; no need to find another to flash. Once the system reboots, you can launch the GUI installer to finish the SU install (it will boot into TWRP and back one more time to do the actual flash).
Does anyone know if this will work on the Rogers HTC One?
Thank you. Followed this last night. Worked flawlessly. The only thing that threw me was rebooting into recovery. It took maybe 3 or 4 reboots for it to say "TAMPERED" at the top. When it didn't say tampered, it would not boot to recovery.
TELUS?

Yes it does. I have a Rogers phone, and it worked perfectly.

No, I have a Rogers device. But the procedure should not be any different.
followed step by step and got an error that says submitted token wrong length
I'm on ubuntu 13.04 and I get stuck at getting the token. I type in fastboot oem get unlock_identifier_token and it says waiting for device. Tried it with sudo and it says error and sudo ./fastboot and it says no such command.

Having a really odd problem. I flash the twrp recovery per instructions. I try to reboot to recovery and it seems to try and then, blam, the att boot.
I have tried this from the bootloader, selecting Recovery, as well as from a booted stated using "adb reboot recovery".
Any hints for me? I originally had a silver One and today got my Black One replacement,. Had no issues on the original one. Hmm. Guess I will try CWM.
FYI: Yes I unlocked the bootloader and it says Unlocked in there
-I also notice that I seem to go right into fastboot, when I boot the bootloader. Now, I believe that is normal if you have the usb cable attached, but this happens regardless.
-flashed stock recovery back and can get into it. trying twrp again, renaming the file to "recovery.img" just because...and it worked on that stock recovery file
-Also, very hard to get into bootloader from powered off state. I may flash RUU_M7_UL_JB_50_Cingular and see if it helps me.
OK, maybe it is the phone or ATT has done something screwy on the latest. I can not even get the RUU install to pass inspection. Wants me to check the connection. I know all my stuff is in order, as I did this all on the previous one. grrr
-Just noticed mine does say Unlocked but it does not say Tampered.
-Crazy. I decided to get a new Unlock token and redo the unlock with it. Now, the bootloader finally says Tampered and I got into TWRP. I have no idea why, since I would think that if the original Unlock token was incorrect, it would not have unlocked the phone.
So, rather than providing worthwhile information for anyone else having problems, I think this post is probably deletable and that is fine by me should the powers so decide.
How would one go back to locking the device for a return?!?

fastboot oem lock
but, it will say relocked. nobody cares or seems to check. also, it will say tampered until you restore a stock ruu to flash. I used RUU_M7_UL_JB_50_Cingular.exe for mine when switching from silver to black. it is the right one for att. sorry, don't have the link to the download anymore.
great writeup! quick comment though, just helped my brother unlock his phone. i had a similar issue to @Barsky above so I decided to try to reflash the recovery. The first time I used the line fastboot erase cache after flashing the recovery and I think that's what caused it to not boot into recovery. The second time I flashed TWRP, I didn't enter that line and voila it worked on the first try!
can anyone post a mirror of the dev host files? devhost seems to be down.
nice...
help please

I think the last bit was your problem. You can't factory reset from bootloader. Try to push twrp again in fastboot then load/flash clean romantic, then boot up. It already has root so you don't need to push su.

I want to flash this: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2400838
But I don't have 4EXT, and as far as I can tell in order to install it I need to install the .apk from here (http://www.4ext.net/) and run it as root.
The problem is, apps won't run as root. If I try to update the superuser app it says it fails to get root.
I've got the SOS X rom on there now, twrp 1.1.1 recovery, and HBOOT-1.58.5858
It's S-OFF.
I also tried flashing a stock root rom to see if I could get superuser to work, but it had the same problem. And I've tried a couple different HBOOT versions.
Any help would be much appreciated!
First and foremost, that ROM wont work with Hboot 1.58. that Hboot version works best with Sense-based Roms, but it doesnt play nice at all with JB Roms. flash Hboot 1.04. sense-based Roms will still work. its the most used Hboot for the Evo 3D.
Second, you can flash the recovery from boot loader if you have the proper zip file. if not, you can also flash it from your computer using fastboot.
i am not sure why your root does not work. it could be a file system error. i can't tell.
anyways, ill guide you on flashing the Hboot and the recovery.
Hboot: (you know this already, but just in case )
BACKUP BEFORE PROCEEDING
take the Hboot file i included, and rename it to PG86IMG. after the rename the file Should be just PG86IMG.zip
put the file in the root of your Phone's SD card
turn off your phone, or remove the battery, or anything.
boot your phone into boot loader by pressing and holding Vol- + Power till you see the boot loader screen.
it will seach for a PG86IMG file to install. it will find the file you dropped into the SD card.
it will ask you if you want to install it, fallow the on-screen instructions to select yes.
it will install
afterwards, it will tell you to hit power to reboot or something like that.
after that delete the PG86IMG file from your sd card, or else it will prompt you to install it again when you use Hboot the next time
this is the same procedure for any and all Hboots. if you need another version later on, go to http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=30014044&postcount=7
Recovery:
BACKUP BEFORE PROCEEDING
now, if you find the recovery itself in a zip file, you can install it from boot loader by renaming it to PG86IMG and doing exactly like the Hboot.
i only have the img, so i will tell you how to do that.
from a computer, you will search for the android SDK. its about 100mb. hopefully youre using Windows, and if so, there is a mini SDK that is really small. this mini SDK contains what will allow you to use Fast Boot and ADB.
Here you can find the mini SDK http://androidforums.com/faqs/443072-adb-guide-updated-12-05-2011-a.html
take the folder sdk-tools and put it on the root of your hard drive or anywhere. put in the folder the recovery.img file i included
open cmd on windows, or terminal on linux. type in "cd C:\sdk-tools" if on windows.
hit enter. after that type fastboot and hit enter and see if something comes up. if it doesnt, you got the path wrong. i cant really go into much detail explaining this is coming out of my memory so excuse me.
after you do get the path right, just boot your phone into boot loader, select fastboot, plug your phone to your computer and you should see Fastboot USB on your phone screen highlighted in red.
after that just go to the command window on your pc, and type "fastboot flash recovery recovery.img" no, theres no typo there. if you get lost, let me know and ill help you out
hopefully you will stay with 4ext since it performs better than twrp. at least in my case.
once it finishes installing youre done. you have 4ext and an Hboot version that works with the Rom you want to install.
now to the Root access problem.
try flashing a rooted rom, see if it works. if it doesnt, or you already tried. then try wiping everything and reflashing.
if still no go, then let me know and ill see how i can help you.
Thanks so much! This is exactly what I needed.
