i started i started running mik runny yesterday. I dont know if it was somethign with the rom but. I just updated my prl on dfs and once i went to reboot it wont go past the white htc screen and just keeps bootlooping. I cannot figure it out. Ive wiped everything muiltiple times. my nanadroids do the same thing. New roms too. I even did a factory reset. i dont get it My recovery and fastboot still work though. any other suggestions?
Flashed a new recovery img. i was using twrp2.0 i flashed twrp 1.3 to see if i had any luck with that but no dice. Im downloading the latest RUU now and hopefully that will fix it. Im guessing if it doesnt then something happened to my phone. If im not mistaken flashing the PG86IMG will flash allthe partitions so there would be no reason for it to not work unless of course something happened to the hardware?
Btw Hboot 1.4 and running mikrunny when the bootloop started. Im super confused since it booted fine for me numerous times. The only thing i changed before this reboot was prl and i turned fastboot off earlier. one other thing im downloading RUU_Shooter_S_Sprint_WWE_2.17.651.5 radio 1.00.1216 this isnt going to affect my hboot once flashing right? even if i have to re root thats fine i just dont wanna get stuck in 1.5 prison

TWRP 2.0 has been giving dirty flashes. I had nothing but bad things with it along with other folks. I jumped back to CWM as recovery it has been stable and flashes smooth no dirty flashes.

well im kinda stuck now. I tried to run the ruu for my hboot version and on step 11 system it failed to unzip. so now i have s off still but no recovery. Im gonna try to put cwm back on my sd and hope that it flashes and see if i can get some rom to flash. I cant figure this out i feel like a newb again. fml. Does it matter that it wasnt the first time i booted into the rom for it to be a bad flash like that?
well i think im officially bricked. I ran an older ruu and it failed to unzip system so after much searching i decided to run one of the latest pg86imgs it fully updated succesfully but still bootloops at the htc screen. So now i have a locked hboot 1.5 with s-off. I gotta get some sleep and see what i can do tommorow. from evreything i have read they say im not bricked if im able to do what i have. but i dont understand why nothing will work.

Sup man your not bricked don't worry or even soft bricked lol.
You should of waited on that updated zip reason it's boot loopin or lockin up is due to the phone never got wiped before the update....
Here is the CWM that will work for you. You need to put the img in your platform tools for ADB. Rename the img file to cwm then plug your phone in while in hboot. Type fastboot flash recovery cwm.img this will put the recovery back on your phone man.
In CWM you can mount your phone and copy a rom you downloaded off xda. Take the rom you downloaded open it up on your computer make a copy of the boot.img place that in your platform tools folder. Now mount your phone using CWM copy the romwhich will put it on your sd card. Now wipe everything. Then while in ADB type : adb reboot bootloader this will take you to hboot again now type fastboot flash boot boot.img this will flash the kernel for you. Now go back into recovery and flash your rom.
You should be good to go man. Let me know if you have any questions.
This should get your phone working...
The good thing about the 3vo is dat its unbrickable just always keep a Rom u ones work an always erase scrub thing / factory reset cutting shortcuts don't work in rooting/dev world

Ok so now that i ran that ruu that changed my hboot to 1.5 is that gonna affect how the cwm installs?even though it says s-off. Also for some reason im having trouble running any commands for fastboot. Ive followed a bunch of guides made sure the envinronemtal variables were correct ect, ect but none of the adb commands will work. Maybe its my pc idk.
Since i cant get fastboot to work on my pc do you think i would just be able to reinstall clockworkmod by renaming it on my sd like you do to root in the first place. Then use it to wipe and then try reflashing?
U might have to re unlock it if ur 3vo says locked at the top if not u should have no problem

I was able to re run the pg86img with the 1.4 hboot now im back on hboot 1.4 still with soff and doesnt say locked anymore. I also was able to install recovery again but i used twrp 1.3 since none of the download links i could find were good and the ones that were good were disk img. I tried running virus superwipe tool and reflashing a rom again to see if anyhtign changed but it didnt. i really just wish i could get the commands to work to use fastboot and adb.
One thing i just noticed in recovery i went into mounts and system and data were unmounted and cache and sdcard were mounted. Do i need to mount everything and try again or was that the way it should of been?

I read about the 1.5 with s-off issue a while back when hboot 1.5 first was released. As long as you have s-off, it doesn't really matter what hboot you have. You'll be able to flash entire ROMs (kernel included) in one step just like you could before your issue arose, because you have s-off. I sadly don't have enough experience with fastboot to be able to give you an easy guide to flashing cwm onto your phone though, but I hope this helps you at least somewhat.
EDIT: I just realized everything I said now doesn't matter since you're not on hboot 1.5 anymore...sorry about that. reaper24 gave you a link to cwm 4.0.1.4 in post #8 in this thread. Stop using TWRP 1.3, there's already a TWRP 2 specifically for EVO 3D and even the latest TWRP has been having issues. CWM has been completely stable for me on every HTC phone I've ever used (Hero CDMA, EVO 4G and now currently the EVO 3D). CWM 4.0.1.4 is in post #8 of this thread as an attachment (it's a small link in between reaper's post and his signature)

i have the clockwork mod from your link downloaded. That one i have to flash via cmd right? im having trouble getting any commands to work on either pc. However i did get qtadb to work on one of them im able to run all the same commands from the shell on it correct? nevermind on this i dont think this is made for that i may be wrong though.
If so i can flash recovery img then flash new rom boot img ect. .. i was told i have to do via pc in order to flash the boot partition cause thats whats causing my problem.
I have all the paths specified on my pc and everythign i need in my tools folder but cant cd to anyhting. i have read and read and read im pretty sure i have it all setup right but everytime i cd it says path not specified or not a batch file or soemthing.

i know right. I think what it might be is something i saw earlier about since i flashed the PG86IMG and it took revolutionary off my hboot that i no longer have fastboot. I tried to run some other commands and got the same thing. So for the hell of it i tried to run revolutionary from hbootand fastboot and it just waits for device. But then when i reboot the phone it will recognize it, but it doesnt stay long enough to run revolutionary.No i just have to remember which pg86img it was that made my phone just stay at the white screen so i can run revolutionary. lol
Ok, so I got my rezound today and the first thing I did was unlock the bootloader because of the factory reset, I didnt want to adjust any settings just to wipe them out. So i unlocked the bootloader and everything was smooth. Then I rebooted my phone and then tried to install Amon Ra via the guide in the development section. I did everything to the tee but the phone never rebooted automatically so I manually rebooted and then powered down. I deleted the PH98IMG file from my sd card (which was for the 1.02.605.6 version) Then I tried to access the Recovery via the volume down and power buttons. When it looks like the recovery is going to load but I get an image of a phone with an exclamation point inside of a red triangle ...???? So i booted my phone back up it would no longer connect via USB mounting as storage, I tried everything from formatting the SD card to factory resetting, to rebooting my computer. No idea why that all of a sudden my USB would not connect, I get a CD ROM auto play notification with a white square with VZ inside of it, WTF!?! Ok, also I cannot update to the newest software version. I even relocked but when my phone says checking for new software it just dissapears and nothing happens. This is so frustrating, I just wanted to install Amon Ra to perm root so I could install cleanrom but apparantley im doing something wrong and I have no idea, just trying to follow directions, theres just so many files and im not sure if I have the right ones
I tried to install Amon Ra with the AIO by Hasoon but all I get is a command prompt with this in it
'C:\Users\User\Documents\Desktop\HTC' is not recognized as an internal or extern
al command,
operable program or batch file.
C:\Users\User\Documents\Desktop\HTC ReZound\AIO Toolkit\Rezound_All-In-One_Kit_V
1.0\data>
Also, I charged my phone for like 2 hours when I got it, briefly powering it on twice, the battery light is still orange and the meter under about phone/battery is full and it still says charging???
EDIT: My device is connecting via USB all of a sudden magically....

Did you installed htc sync in your computer?

Yes I had to have the drivers installed to unlock it.... One more thing, I just did the oneclickroot method and it says that I now have perm root. I thought the one click was just a temp root. So I factory reset and still had root. Got the tether up and running now I just need to figure out how to install a recovery so I can flash roms.

Anyways about recovery. Did you try pushing the recovery.img with adb commands? In fastboot?
Sent From My Optimized Blasting 4GLTE ReZound
Yes definately do it from fastboot. I just makes things to much easier.
Also I would apply the OTA before you get to far into the setup process as it will require you to relock your phone to get the new radios from Verizon.

I did relock my phone "fastboot oem lock" from fastboot...it verified that it was "relocked" at the top. Then I tried to boot up the phone and checked for new updates and it searched for about 20 seconds and then just dissapeared and did nothing, just like when it was unlocked. I'm nervous to do anything to this thing now, i tried to restore a backup of apps that I had backed up from my Droid X, and it stuck at the boot logo, I've had to factory reset a handful of times already trying to figure this thing out. I just spent 2 hours re downloading all the apps I had. I suppose I would make a new backup before I try anything else.
Ok first of all you should never do a restore from a phone other than the one you are restoring to, that is just asking for problems.
Next, google RUU_Vigor.
You want the 2.01 version. This will give you the update and wipe your phone clean as if you had just taken it out of the box, meaning it will delete all your data.
After it is complete you can download the Amon Ra img file. Place that in the same directory that adb and fastboot are in. Rename it to Amon_Ra.img. Get your command line to the folder that you have fastboot in and then type this command, "fastboot flash recovery Amon_Ra.img" (without the quotes)
You now have the update and Amon Ra loaded on your phone. Boot into recovery and install su from the developer menu and boom you are done. Phone rooted.

Ok, awesome. This sounds doable except installing the RUU, I found the file and its downloading now but how do I install it? I notice it's a zip file but do I extract it and install the contents of it via fastboot as well? Or is there a way to flash zips with the stock recovery menu? Also, I am guessing a backup would be wise before this and the current version of Amon Ra is 3.14, the one titled "recovery-ra-vigor-3.14-gnm.img" . Just rename it to Amon_Ra.img, place it in platform-tools of my SDK files and install via fastboot?
Also, isn't there a newer RUU? A leaked 3.10.605.13? I have seen that ROMs are based off it but I cannot find the actual file anywhere...
No. The RUU is for official releases only. If you're getting the PHzip file of it then just put it on your ext sd card and it will run in bootloader. Just boot the phone and it will find it. Then make sure to delete that file when it's done so your phone won't find it every time you boot.
If you download the exe file then you run it on your PC by double clicking on it and will need HTC.sync installed.
As to Amon Ra, personally I don't like to rename files I've downloaded from a dev so they don't get lost and disorganized. It's up to you, but you don't have to rename it to flash it, just type the name it has exactly. People rename it for easier typing I guess so if you do that I would suggest at least keeping the version number in the name.
Then after you flash Amon Ra, navigate to its developer menu and install su and then you'll be rooted.

Ok, so I factory reset my device after making a backup with mybackuppro, relocked my device and placed the 3.54mb PHzip from scottsroms website onto the root of my SD card, booted up into bootloader, it checked the file and then nothing. Rebooted the phone and checked the software version, nothing changed. I dont see how something so simple is so frustrating.....I could try to download the larger file thats like 449mb but its titled "Stock Rooted ROM - Vigor - WWE 2.01.605.11.zip" from scottsroms website and its not a PHzip. Should I rename it PH98IMG.zip? then try that?

If you really want to start fresh you need to grab the RUU. That is the official release from HTC and will put you completely back to stock. Get it here:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=22045045&postcount=58
I recommend going the RUU route to be certain you get your phone wiped clean. When I ran it for a fresh start it got rid of old folders/files that flashing a ROM did not. Here's some instructions I posted for someone before:
5) Download the RUU for your mainver to your computer.
This is an exe file so just run it on your pc with your phone attached. You need to be locked and you need HTC Sync installed. Now you are back to stock.
5a) Unlock your phone again using the same unlock bin file you got before by putting it in the same folder you are now using for sdk. Type the following command:
fastboot flash unlocktoken Unlock_code.bin
If you don't have it obtain a new one by following the same steps you did before to get it originally. Here is a guide for that:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=20780879&postcount=1
Now you should be stock and unlocked.
6) Flash Amon Ra in fastboot. Get the lateset version, 3.14.
Type the following command to flash it:
fastboot flash recovery recovery-ra-vigor-3.14-gnm.img
Now you should have Amon Ra on your phone.
7) Root your phone by installing su using Amon Ra. Go to the developer menu and find the option in there.
Now you should be stock, unlocked and rooted.
8) MAKE A NANDROID BACK UP NOW AND LABEL IT.
9) Flash a new ROM.
If you use that Stock Rooted ROM, just place it on your ext sd card, then go into Amon Ra and navigate to "flash from zip file" or something like that and select that and it will flash in recovery. Mostly kernels are renamed PHzip and will flash in hboot.

That smaller file you downloaded was most likely just a kernel.

Ok, now I see. I think I had to install an older version of Amon Ra since my software version was older. I succesfully installed Amon Ra 3.10 and installed su and superuser, now I see that I can just flash zips from the menu much like CWM recovery on my Droid X. Now I just have to figure out why my f&%!ing router keeps dropping to local only every 5 minutes, it won't stay connected long enough for me to download an RUU file that size...
So if I flash the zip from scottsroms website do I have to put the kernel on the memory card as well so that it flashes correctly? Thats assuming that the PHzip file is the kernel
Do you have a link or know where I could find an all in one zip file so i dont have to mess around with seperate kernels...a zip that i could flash that has the basebands and everything, i would use the RUU that you posted a link to but its an exe and im not sure what to do with that...
Yes, you need to flash the kernel separately for that.
There is a thread for another stock ota ROM by con247. He has the update packed into it so it will flash the ROM then take you to hboot to flash the update. You need to lock your phone before flashing the update to get the new radios.
So...
Put ROM on sd card
Flash in recovery
When you get to bootloader put phone in fastboot and connect to PC
Relock phone
Flash PHzip in hboot
Unlock phone
Flash Amon Ra if needed (can't recall if you'll have stock recovery now or not)
Install su
The RUU is really easy. Just download it to your computer and double click on it. just have phone locked and HTC sync installed.

I think I may be slightly confused. The RUU is the update right? I just want the most current OTA update with the latest basebands and any bugs that were worked out in the January OTA...Once i'm updated I want to flash a ROM, or do I not need to update in order to flash ROMs? I wanted to check out the newest cleanrom but it says its based off of a leaked software version so idk really where to begin with that one...
The RUU is the complete ROM/kernel/recovery with updates, as long as you get the 2.x one. It will get you stock updated with a factory fresh phone.
You can also get stock with the update from the con237 Stock OTA ROM, which is different than the RUU at that link that con247 also posted.
You do need to update if you want the latest radios.
Are you downloading to your computer? Perhaps you can download to your phone using 4g? Or 3g if you don't get 4g where you are.

So I tried to run that RUU exe with my phone plugged in although my PC would not pick up my device and an installshield popped up and looked like it was loading something, but then it dissappeared and nothing happened. So I uninstalled the HTC drivers along with HTC sync and then reinstalled them. My device was then recognized by the computer but something calle TL-bootstrap wanted to install. I just ignored it. So with the phone plugged in I tried to run the RUU exe again and the same thing happened, nothing...
I am a complete noob. Sprint Evo 3d 1.5 s-on, I have been running Viper IC3D for a month now, loving it,should have stuck with that. I wanted to try one of the Jelly Bean Roms, specifically the Team D.I.R.T. one, but I didn't want to have to keep flashing the two roms back and forth. Found out about Boot Manager Pro on here, and found a thread about using it with hboot 1.5 s-on. followed the instructions, booted into D.I.R.T. rom. fiddled with it, decided to go back to my phone rom. Boot Manager kept unexpectedly closing on me, wouldn't stay open long enough to do anything. So I went into recovery and restored my nandroid of Viper. But D.I.R.T. loaded! Said screw it, and wiped and reflashed Viper. D.I.R.T. loaded! Couldn't get anything but that ROM to load no matter what I did. Uninstalled Boot Manager, nothing but D.I.R.T.So I hunted around here and found a thread that said if all else failed, to manually remove Bootloader from sd and go from there. Did that, and it soft bricked my phone. I can get into recovery, but no matter what I do when I reboot it hangs in HTC white boot screen. I cannot afford another phone and don't get an upgrade til next year. Please Say there is a solution to this! I cried all last night, couldn't sleep, and I'm crying again. Side note, i accidentally erased half the C; Drive on my laptop trying things I found on another android forum,and system restore didn't work. So I'm back here, and I'm scared to try anything else, but I have to do something. Help!!!!!!
Flash the kernel. All will be well.
Viper rom should include boot.img.
Extract it to sdk-tools folder.
Open terminal, cd to sdk-tools directory.
Hold volume plus down on phone. Hit power button on fastboot option.
Plug in phone to computer. It should say fastboot usb on phone screen now. If not, install htc drivers.
Go to terminal. Type "fastboot flash boot boot.img
Should see some stuff happen on computer screen, phone will reboot.
Do that then report back.

You don't install sdk-tools. It's just a bunch if exe's in a folder.

I'm doomed. I was able to flash CWM this way, although it didn't help me at all. But I tried to flash the boot img and it didn't work. Didn't seem to recognize the command.
I'm cdma s-on? So basically you relocked and flashed an RUU and then relocked?
try to relock and flash with RUU it will work
At first when you were unable to boot back to phone rom, you should have went into recovery and flash the update.zip located in the sdcard/bootmanager/phonerom.
Anyway try to flash back to viperrom again then boot your recovery via fast boot since you are not s-off. And flash the update.zip from the phone rom folder. If everything fails just relock your bootloader and use the ruu.exe and you should be fine.

The command is: fastboot flash boot c:\(navigate to the sdk map with boot.img)\boot.img
For instance. for me it's c:\Users\(my name)\boot.img
Because i have my sdk and boot.img in my User map.
I believe boot manager creates the files for the second rom on the sd card. maybe thats why the D.I.R.T rom is loading.. My advice, try a different sdcard and see if the viper rom starts (you still might have to flash the boot.img via adb because of s-on)
I have no idea where the files for second rom are created so maybe if someone else could help out here. Then it should be a simple matter of deleting the second rom from the sd card and then go ahead and flash your viper rom.

Yes you will have to get new code from htcdev. Though i wouldn't recommend updating hboot cause its known to cause some issues with some roms
Hey all, just received a replacement rezound under warranty due to the charge port being all muffed up, and of coarse the first thing was unlock via htcdev which worked fine.
Here is the issue.. when trying to flash amonra via fastboot or PH98IMG.zip in bootloader it won't flash. For fastboot it says "unknown error" and as a PH file in bootloader it says "parsing..." for a few seconds then disappears without flashing anything. I've re-downloaded and checked md5's and still get the same errors.
My last rezound was s-off and that whole process was quick and painless and I don't understand why the same procedure I used on my last rezound isn't working now.
Any help would be greatly appreciated.

indeed *** unlocked *** is displayed at the top on hboot. and ive tried "fastboot flash recovery (nameofrecovery.img) with nameofrecovery changed to what i have it saved as and no luck. even tried relocking and ruuing too just to make sure it wasnt the software messing everything up.
Can't remember but can you try to S-OFF first? (It's been so long, but I can't remember whether you have a custom recovery already on).
Ah, one other stupid thing.... have you tried a different sdcard?

I was thinking about the sd card being the issue but it installed an ruu via ph98img.zip perfectly fine bit its worth a shot. And on unlimited.io's site they say you need to be completely stock with root and as far as I know amonra is the only way to root on a stock ruu. I managed to s-off tho after using hasoon's tool to flash amonra. I'm now completely stock again after ruuing back to gb then accepting ota
so I'll try flashing amonra again and report back. Thank you for your help!

You can install any custom recovery and use it to flash SuperUser. The root option in Amon Ra doesn't usually work by itself anyway.

Oh ok thats good to know actually. just cant seem to install any custom recoveries lol. i chose to install amon ra 3.15 with hasoons tool and for some reason i have 3.06 installed.. dont know how or why but i do. tried to install 3.15 with his toolkit again and got the stupid error again. i dont know what to do at this point lol. never had this problem with the last rezound. i am s-off now but do not have the recovery i want installed.
should i try ruu'ing again and start fresh?
and for what its worth i do have the jb hboot installed just to see if that was the issue. had to use fastboot commands to install it so i dont think thats the issue. i think its the download for amonra 3.15 i have. if anyone has a personal copy of 3.15 that is confirmed working and is willing to share it itd be greatly appreciated.
To use the fastboot commands you must be unlocked. With the parsing error. That will sometimes happen if you have a file called "update.zip" on your sdcard. Try seeing if you have one of those files. If your HBOOT does say s-off. Flash the GB RUU. Just so you can verify everything has changed. and then restart with the ICS RUU then flash a recovery. This time not with that tool.

Thank you for the response. i tested to see if i really did have s-off by doing just that. ruu'd back to gb without a hitch. then accepted the ota. so im thinking ill just ruu the ota (3.14.605.12) and see what happens. and im with you on not using the tool again. ive heard really good things about it but never used it personally until today. my old method worked well i just didn't know what else to do at that point lol

Since you're on the OTA ICS firmware, you should definitely NOT be running Amon Ra 3.06. You need to be on 3.15. If the md5's match what's on your sdcard and what's on the OP at that thread, it shouldn't be a bad download, but just in case, I loaded it up on my Dropbox and you can try the one here.
As far as alternate recoveries, while I was very impressed with TWRP, it is incapable of wiping boot, so that's a nonstarter. Admittedly, if Flyhalf solved that issue, I'd switch to it. As far as CWM Touch, that has issues with reading sdcard2, as of the last time I checked, or at least with respect to its interaction with various ROMs and their features. For me at least, having tried all of the Rezound recoveries, Amon Ra is my preferred choice.
just push AR manually instead of using the tool:
Unzip the file from the link listed below onto the root of the C drive on your PC, and it should create a folder called Android on the root of C.
1) open a cmd prompt and type " cd c:\Android " without quotes
2) boot to fastboot and make sure your USB is plugged into the pc and phone
3) type " fastboot flash recovery recovery.img " without the quotes
This should push the AR 3.15 to your device. I included AR 3.15 in the Android folder below.
the folder contains a txt file of a few other handy commands that i use. that txt file is for reference only
https://www.dropbox.com/s/aycfqc37tvkhbdl/Android12-14-2012_22+21+19.rar
I ended up flashing twrp and it worked great. Like a previous poster said if it could wipe boot it would be perfect. But it got the job done and am up and running again. Thank you all for your help!

It can all be done. did it earlier. all is still good.
I just did the same thing. I updated the firmware going back to stock via RUU and accepting the OTA Update, and re-flashing my original Unlock_code.bin. Now running ViperDNA 1.1.2 with the new firmware just fine.

Not entirely. I don't have the Rom portion of the new update, but the radio firmware and other portions of the update are still there (the underlying framework). But yeah, I'm not making full use of it until I use a 2.04-based ROM.

Here are the steps I took YMMV
Backup Internal Memory
Verify Fastboot and ADB Drivers are properly installed
Boot into Bootloader
RUN "fastboot OEM Lock"
Phone reboots
Run RUU as Administrator
Wait
Boot Device
Connect to WiFi
Run Software Update from Settings
Wait
Install Update
Checked for Updates Again (Nothing)
Copy Unlock_Code.bin to your fastboot directory
ADB Reboot Bootloader
Open command prompt from fastboot directly
Run "fastboot unlock token Unlock_code.bin"
Follow the prompts
Reboot bootloader verify unlocked
Place Recovery.img in fastboot directory
RUN "fastboot flash recovery recovery.img"
Reboot
Copy over Rooted ROM
Reboot into Recovery and flash

Sorry for the noobish question, but will I have to go through such a complex procedure as this if I'm on stock rom, unlocked and rooted? Rooting alone the first time was quite time consuming for me :\
I know I could simply stick with what I have now. I'd really like to have the new firmware though, which supposedly fixes audio and wifi issues.

My suggestion then would be to wait and see if someone comes up with a way to flash the radios. That is the only reason I went through the process.
If I have a backup of stock rooted, do I still have to use RUU?
Will do, thanks!
Word of caution people, once you install the OTA update, your HBoot get updated, so the current RUU stops working. Once you apply the update, there's no going back. All custom kernels don't work, I spend all night trying all of them, the phone just stuck at the boot animation.
I would suggest holding out until all the kernels/custom roms/RUUs are updated, cause if anything goes wrong you have very little tools to work with, especially when we don't have S-Off.
That's good to know. Thank you!
