I've been doing this **** for well over 2 yrs now and im either having a serious brain fart of perhaps this hasn't been entirely, exactly discussed yet .... I have googled til the cows come home and can't find an answer.
Im on hboot 1.50 with S-on bootloader is unlocked through HTC Dev
I want to flash the new i.c.s. PG86IMG.zip that Freeza (the one without the new 1.57 hboot) just put out to go along with the ICS ruu that Virtuous has put out however I know that I cannot just put the pg86img on my sd card and flash it by holding down the - volume button and power through bootloader....
MUST i relock my bootloader, ruu it back to stock and then go about it doing that way OR is there a way that I can use commands to flash the PG86IMG.zip file?????
Help would be greatly appreciated.
EDIT: I just relocked my bootloader, RUU'd it back so now I have a relocked bootloader, with hboot 1.50 S-on and when I take my battery out, put it back in- hold down vol down while pressing power....then it scans and finds the pg86img.zip but it does not offer me a chance to install the pg86img I'd REALLY appreciate some input here. Thanks.
I was too lazy/tired to downgrade so I just wiped and flashed just to see what would happen and it worked. After it booted, it was stuck on the HTC setup so I pulled the battery and rebooted it. I'm on Hboot 1.50 with S-ON.
I cannot for the life of me get the PG86IMG.zip file flashed.... i've PM'd a few different dev's but heard nothing back yet.
Man you should have atleast unlocked your bootloader first see if you can boot in to boatloader and fastboot USB if so then you can correct the problem

And no you don't need to relock to install a ruu if your unlocked when you run the ruu it will relock it for you

Did you check the sticky and find football thread and you will need to download the the original ruu or close to it and you may get lucky and find one that will give you hboot 1.4 if this is what your after

did you flash in hboot or through recovery?
did it re-lock your phone?
Question is your boatloader locked
Sent from my HTC EVO 3D X515m using xda premium
You will have to unlock your boatloader again through HTC dev if you still have the unlock token then you don't have to redownload it just use the one you have see if that works

Holly ****t i think I see what's happening your in a bootloop and it is possible that the boot.IMG didn't flash properly

And since your s on you will need to unlock your bootloader and then flash revolutionary version of cwm and then flash a Rom like lee droid that way you will rooted but you will still have s on this is where you should have started in the beginning

This is such an annoying issue. I can run an ruu.exe such as RUU_Shooter_S_Sprint_WWE_2.17.651.5_Radio_1.06.00.1216_NV_NV_spcs_1.42_release_233304_signed_2.exe and go back to stock without any problems, I can unlock my bootloader, I can "root" the phone, even though I am on hboot 1.50 with S-ON the problem is no matter how many ways I try to flash
PG86IMG_Shooter_ICS_35_S_Sprint_WWE_VM_1.13.652.1_Radio_1.06.00.0426_NV_1.53_144_release_259069_signed.zip that Football sent me, I cannot get it install it after it scans and finds it -renamed to PG86IMG (.zip) it always goes back to hboot and says:
CID incorrect!
Update Fail!
Press <POWER> to reboot.
If it was me I would just root
Sent from my HTC EVO 3D X515m using xda premium
Depending upon which DEV i've spoken to, i've been told to try this that and the other and lol nothing works. I dont get it. I've been told to go back entirely to stock unrooted; that didn't work. Been told to root it, that didn't work.
I never had any problems flashing roms using htc dumlock but the problem is, the file I am trying to flash is not one that can be flashed through CWM/TWRP, only by being renamed PG86IMG and being started through hboot.
any other suggestions? hell i'll try em all!
I would go back to stock and start from scratch
Sent from my HTC EVO 3D X515m using xda premium
LOL im back to stock started from scratch and nada.
i'll end up most likely having to wait, like everyone else for the .exe file to be released
cid incorrect
oh and you need to change your cid number to HTC__001 and it will work
With HTC unlock, you cant flash radios (freeza's zip) & splash screens that are part of those custom PG86IMG zips. The only way to flash an Ruu is to have stock recovery/relocked and to flash the same or newer fw version (2.08, 2.17, etc).
I'm not 100% sure but the ics leak version is 1.13 which may not pass the version check.
I've read some posts that indicate an hboot 1.4 downgrade for S-off is required as things sit right now. Definitely changing daily though.

To further reiterate, S-ON means you do not have permissions to certain partition of the phone to flash radios, or flash kernels/roms without the 1.5 fastboot workarounds. The firmware freeza has, requires access to that certain partition. So without s-off (1.4) you cannot flash the firmware/radio for ICS.
I unlocked my bootloader using htc dev and was following this to s-off:http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1471246
before the PG86IMG.zip update started, i got a message that the cid is invalid
now the device is stuck on the htc splash screen, please help me asap!!
what should i do!?
should i choose the factory reset option??
Probably your best bet. Generally, if you can get to boot loader and recovery, you aren't too bad off.
i haven't installed any recovery, i can get to the bootloader though
should i install any recovery now using fastboot?
Someone please help, i havent installed any recovery and i am stuck on htc splash screen, bootloader is relocked, please help!
You should read the downgrade thread again... You MUST change th cid before flashing the pg86img... I had the same problem when I done it...
Or you can get the 2.17 stock ruu and run it to get back to stock and start over...

Instead of the european PG86IMG.zip given on the downgradin thread, Should i try the stock PG86IMG.zip for my evo 3d ?
Sent from my XT720 using XDA App
Try the stock 2.17 ruu.exe... Not PG86IMG, then start over... The stock signed PG86IMG.zip might work, but I had to use ruu... Once you get your phone back to 2.17 stock, unlock, change cid, relock, and go from there...

and if you run it, your device should work.

Downloading the stock zip now...So that means, even in future if i have to revert back to stock from custom rom or whenever i am stuck at htc splash screen i just use the stock PG86IMG.zip and go to the bootloader and update? Right? Or is the goldcard required for s-on and s-off both?

first sentence is correct.
My phone started acting wierd, so I reset it to factory and now I can't install any ROMS at all!
I had/have S-OFF but somehow I locked myself.

I've tried renaming the downloads to PG86IMG.ZIP but all it does is gives me a progress bar, parses and then goes back to the fastboot menu.
I've tried to install clockworkmod and twrp but since I don't have superuser, it won't work.
I tried pushing through adb and fastboot but no write access.
I'd like to put carbon jellybean on it.
I know I"m missing a step here somewhere. But what is it?
You wont be able to flash custom roms on fastboot and u cant flash recovery because ur bootloader is locked you kust somehow reflash the bootloader or get it unlocked.

OK. I think I understand. I just don't understand how I locked myself and why it is so difficult to unlock when I was unlocked before.
I'm going tyhrough the [email protected] and waiting for my bin file. Hopefully it will come soon.
Once I go through that process, what's next? How do I install either twrp or clockworkmod as I don't have SU?
Well u probably flashed an ics ruu which had bootloader update in it so it locked it. U can flash recovery.img trough adb .

If i helped, press thanks
Thanks
I know just enough to be dangerous.
Any idea how long it takes to get this .bin file from the htcdevelopers ?
Once I use that file, then I can what? Just rename CARBON-JB-UNOFFICIAL-20130513-143602-shooteru.zip to PG86IMG.zip in the root of my SD card and then it will work? Or do I have to do something else? If so, what? It's late and I'm getting foggy. Wanted to get this up and running for morning use.

You are wrong. I have also LOCKED BOOTLOADER and S-OFF. I can flash anything. Even, 4ext recovery is flashed in my evo3d. As you are S-OFF, you can rw anything

I have an EVO 3d with s-off already. In the instructions on how to root, do I skip the how to s-off part or is there another way to root an EVO 3d that already has s-off?

What happens when you goto recovery.
Once you have a custom recovery, ie 4ext, you can backup, wipe and flash

It goes to the stock recovery.
Install a custom recovery and get to flashing

Yes!
I was coming from 3-4 yrs exclusive Motorola Androids.
So I didn't understand that once Bootloader was unlocked. There was no rooting procedure.
The next step installing a custom recovery makes this Evo 3D (maybe all newer HTCs) rooted.
Please help me with my HTC EVO 3D as it is not showing the status of bootloader whether it is locked or not. Not able to do anything with this and s is also on

I see you have 1.40 hboot. If I remember correctly, the locked/unlocked status was introduced with the 1.50 hboot update. If you are looking to root and/or get s-off, then you are in luck. Revolutionary works with hboot 1.40. So I don't think you would even need to do the HTC Dev unlock.

Need to flash from SD card would use 1.13 ROM.
This is a link for RUU, you pull the zip from it and flash from SD card or search and find PG86IMG.zip for 1.13 which has hboot 1.4 and is the ROM revolutionary s-off uses. Anything else will update hboot.
