I have been researching the white HTC screen boot loop for the past 3 days trying to figure out how to fix my Evo3d. After today i have finally given up.
On HBOOT my phone says:
*Locked*
Shooter XC SHIP S-OFF RL
HBOOT-1.50
Steps taken to try and fix:
-Flashed stock RUU and it completes, but reboots into the bootloop
-Upload PG86IMG,zip onto phone. Updates fine and reboots back into bootloop as well
-Don't have a nandroid backup and can't get into recovery anyway. When i flash recovery through CMD i get the message:
sending 'recovery' (4706 KB).
OKAY [ 1.160s]
writing 'recovery'...
FAILED (remote: not allowed)
finished. total time: 1.170s
Not sure what else to do or what to try. Any help would be greatly appreciated.
Thanks

you still have to unlock your bootloader.... http://www.htcdev.com.... go to that site and follow the steps to unloack your bootloader... THEN try to install your roms and you should be ok ....

Have you tried to downgrade your h-boot to 1.4? You could use the live CD or unknownforce's method (see my signature).

ok now you take the rom and open it up on your computer and extract the file boot.img
copy it to the same place where fastboot.exe and adb.exe are located
go to your phone and hold in the volume down button and press power to get to your bootloader
select fastboot
then plug it into your computer
open up a terminal window on your computer and go to the directory with fast boot and type in
fastboot flash boot boot.img

Interesting. You used the HTC unlock method and your phone is showing s-off. I was always under the impression that the HTC method leaves you s-on.
The reason I say that is because your phone is showing symptoms of being s-on. If you use 4ext set to s-on and try to flash a GB Rom, does it work?

Hi Everyone,
I heard good stuff about Clockwork touch recovery so I tried it but it doesn't seem to be as stable as amon_ra, but for some reason I can't re-install amon_ra.

I think it has to do with my HBOOT but I don't know how to fix it. This is what I see when I'm in fastboot :

Either unlock it (I suggest no) or flash my ics jb hboot
Or I could package you up a ph98img.zip with amonra
The third seems the easiest

Make sure the IMG is named recovery.img and zip it up, then flash in the bootloader

Awesome, thank you
You can also download it in an already zipped flashable file HERE Just make sure to rename it to PH98IMG.zip and after flashing you will have Amon Ra 3.15 installed.
does anybody still have this in a flashable format? (all links are dead)
Getting the failed remote error even after flashing jb hboot (or at least trying)

In my google drive...Ctrl-S to download. RENAME it to ph98img.zip and put on your ext-sd card. Boot into bootloader..ie. pull battery, replace, hold volume down, press power button. Bootloader will look for ph98img.zip files and should find this one if you renamed it right and then flash it. If it doesn't work, make note of any messages so we can help.

Do you have a stock HBoot? if so i think it has to be unlocked for fastboot commands even on s-off unless you have a modified Hboot that allows for fastboot commands while locked.

Well if your bootloader is locked i would unlock it or get a modified bootloader that allows fastboot commands while locked. If those dont work then youll have to ask a dev
somehow i didnt even notice that was locked. ok got recovery on. now going to try and get a rom on it. with all this headache i almost miss my GNex but it has tons of issues

Resolved: I had mistaken the stock recovery screen for an error screen. Noob error.
Hey there,
New ATT One X+ user here. First off, wanted to say great job to all the devs! Exciting to see so much progress.
Anyway, I successfully unlocked my phone, flashed TWRP, and installed Elegancia ROM using hasoon2000's tool. Now I would like to revert to the stock recovery, since offmode charging doesn't work for the ATT TWRP yet. However, I'm having an issue: I can't flash a stock recovery back onto my device! (When I try to boot into stock recovery, the red triangle with a "!" pops up)
Here's an outline of what I tried:
1) grabbed the ATT stock recovery from http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2064295
2) renamed the recovery "recovery.img" and put it in the folder where my fastboot is
3) flashed the recovery using "fastboot flash recovery recovery.img". It looks like it's successful; here's the output:
" sending 'recovery' (7142 KB)... OKAY [ 0.922s]
writing 'recovery'... INFOFormat partition SOS done
OKAY [ 0.389s]"
4) tried booting into recovery, but it shows the red triangle error screen
Now, if I follow the above steps using the TWRP recovery image, I am able to boot back into TWRP. It's odd that the flashing works with TWRP but not with the stock recovery...
Other potentially useful troubleshooting info
- I tried using hasoon's tool to flash the stock recovery, but it has the same results
- my bootloader still says it's "UNLOCKED"
- I also tried running "fastboot erase recovery" before flashing, and it fails with the message: "erasing 'recovery'... FAILED (remote: not allowed)" (nevermind, command doesn't work in S-ON state)
Thanks in advance for any help!

To be polite I would not flash the recovery he linked, While he may have good intentions all of his other posts I have seen and tried to help deal with have shown a lack of understanding and experience with android. For all I know he is hosting the same file I gave him earlier but incase he isn't please download this recovery: https://www.asuswebstorage.com/navigate/s/665115AABBFA49E783795815A6E5666F4 Go into fastboot and flash it using command prompt with "fastboot flash recovery (recoveryname).img" Please note stock recovery should a picture of a phone down with an alert signal above it. Please note this is for AT&T ONLY
Oh! Well, I feel foolish now -
I had thought the screen with the phone down and a red alert over it was an error screen. I assumed there would be some menu options or something on there; are there not supposed to be?
Just to confirm, I've attached a picture of my phone booting into the stock recovery you posted. Is this how it's supposed to look?

If so, RELOCK it through ADB and then RUU it, then HTC unlock it again, then root and put new rom back on.

Recovery install, but wwhen I boot it, phone go bootloop. How to fix this?
dont install recovery, just run RUU and then see if it boots. And i believe u need to unlock it again to flash custom recovery
Ok. I install RUU from HBOOT(PG86IMG.zip).
ROM boot, but when I unlock it it stay bootloop...
Maybe 1.58.0000 it doesn't unlock?
I just went through the same problem here. First I was rooted s on and I tried to restore and got bootloop. Fixed it by relocking and ruu'ing. Then I unlocked flashed recovery and supersu then attempted the jbear s off. Apparently I failed at the wire trick and that lead my phone into bootloop. I relocked then ran the ruu and still bootlooped. I ran it a few more times and got it to boot. Now, whenever I power down and remove the battery, my phone bootloops and the I have to boot into bootloader and slecet recovery. The phone does its thing and reset my phone to stock then booted. I don't wanna pull my battery cause I think it'll happen again. Anything that can fix? I'm complete stock.

I was running the latest TRON ROM from Neo with no issues for several days. Tonight, I went to use the camera and it FC'd. It kept doing it so I tried rebooting. It flashed the white screen with the green HTC logo and thats it, it won't go any farther.
I can get to recovery by pulling the battery and using the hard buttons, but recovery is not able to mount the internal or external memory. I cant backup, restore, flash a zip, or do anything really. How could this have happened? Am I bricked?
HELP!
If the phone does anything at all, it is not bricked. (The state it's in is sometimes called a soft brick, though). I believe there are two things you can do: either get an RUU (PH98IMG.zip) onto your SD with a computer (and an SD card reader EDIT: Or the Incredible you mentioned in the ROM thread), then boot up to hboot and let it flash, or try flashing a kernel (boot.img), ROM, or RUU using adb/fastboot.
If you have questions about the first of these processes, I may be able to answer them, but I probably won't be too helpful about the latter since I haven't flashed anything with adb/fastboot in quite a while.
HERE is the latest RUU, by the way.
Thanks, I'll try this out tomorrow.
s-on? Can you boot into the bootloader? Try reflashing the kernel via fastboot.
So I was able to get the latest RUU and flash it using Hboot. The phone booted up into stock. Great news!
However, I am now trying to get custom recovery installed again, but when I try to flash amon ra using "fastboot flash recovery recovery.img" I get the following error:

download this zip and place it on the root of your sd card. it will flash Amon RA through hboot. no need for fastboot commands.
