Shoot... I've been wanting to flash my Evo 3D with Dev-ROMS that are available today, like Viper, XRON, Supra, Synergy, ShooterRewind, etc.. to test them out. However, every time I try to perform nand restore using TWRP my phone just suddenly shuts off. Currently I have 2 backup available from the point of when I first rooted my phone. I have done many ROM Flashing on my Evo 4G to the point that my co-worker calls me a flash-junkie. The point is, I'm not new to flashing ROMS with Clockwork (BTW I prefer AmonRa on 4G), but I'm new to TWRP and I don't thing the concept is any different. What am I doing wrong? Have anyone else run into this same issue? Maybe I'm a noob after all.
I'm having the same issue. I have several backups and I transfered the TWRP folder to my PC to free up space on my SD card. I just did a wipe of my phone and copied the TWRP folder back to my SD. When I try to restore the phone powers down.
Can anyone share some light on this issue?
I too ran into this problem and am looking for help on it, it scared the life out of me when it shutdown
I haven't tried a nand restore yet, you need to post this in the TWRP thread so the dev's can address this.

I couldn't post in the TWRP thread because I dont meet the post requirement for posting in the dev threads. Can somebody post this issue there?
This issue has been brought up in the TWRP thread. They said they fixed it. What version of TWRP are you all running? They also said that it works if you flash the zip via PG86IMG, and not via fastboot. Its on Post #2 on the thread.

I have the latest version flashed via zip. It doesn't reboot into recovery. It shuts off and a battery pull is needed to power back on.

You phone shuts off when you try to boot into recovery? How are you trying to get there? Volume down and power? Have you tried using adb? Try typing adb reboot recovery into a cmd prompt. Does that work?
If anything, just download version 1.0.1 of TWRP, (I have it, and that version is solid), rename it PG86IMG (dont add a .zip to the file name if youre using windows), reload that file onto your SD card, and then flash via bootloader... report back
I'm still unable to get TWRP to restore to my initial backup. Now, I am using clockwork just to play around with different ROMs. I see that TWRP just updated to 1.0.3 and I will be trying that soon. I'll reply with the outcome.
I did my research on how to install ROMS with a locked S On and Kernels, but just got even more confused about the process. I am coming from an Evo 4g CDMA.
I have H BOOT 1.5 unlocked S ON. My back up was lost. I tried to flash something like the newest MIUI using TWRP 1.1. w/e. I can't get past the boot screen for MIUI. As I was reading up on the forums, it seemed to me that you had to use a program called Flash Image GUI to get a kernel going on a ROM. Though, here is where I was confused. If a ROM has a kernel in it and I flash the ROM, does the Kernel part of that flash not get set up as well?
Would I need to flash the rom like normal from the SD Card then use something separate to flash a Kernel? If so, I am kinda boned. I can't get into the phone, just the recovery and can't get that program installed on the phone Trying to flash up Xplode now to see if maybe I just got a bad download.
If these questions were answered, please forgive me, I did try to find the answers, but as I read up more and more, it was getting to be more and more confusing to my personal issue at hand.
Thanks for the help!!
If you grab the kernel from your Miui zip, it's in the zips root called boot.img
Put that into your folder with your fastboot exe
Boot into bootloader the same as when you flashed the CWM
Use fastboot command... fastboot flash boot boot.img
this will flash the kernel and you should be able to boot up properly
Oh, well that is the problem. I had someone else flash TWRP for me. Guess I need to find out more on how to flash up that to get the kernel going. This S On thing is a massive PITA, lol. Guess once I get the phone up and going and I can use that program, things will be way easier

I see. i skipped the how to part since i thought you had alrady flashed the CMW your self, it's fairly easy.
you need..
1) to install the evo 3d usb drivers.. filename HTCDriver3.0.0.007.exe .sorry i don't have a link, i got them off these forums somewhere
2) you need the fastboot.exe , again search google/these forums
then shut down your phone
pull battery out, then back in
hold down volume- (minus) and then hold the power button as well, only let go once in the bootloader, choose the fastboot option then insert usb cable to phone->pc .. you should see fastboot-usb message come up on your phone
then you can type out that fastboot command in the previous post from a dos command prompt, from the directory with your fastboot exe and boot.img
It's easier to put rom you want on the SD card make sure debug is on.
Adb reboot bootloader . Now
Fastboot boot recovery.img now wipe and flash rom you are good to go man. Works flawless .

Sorry about posting in the wrong area.
What I did, which can help out other 3D noobs is this:
Since I just unlocked and have no back up, my kernel was still stock
Downloading a stock rom and moving it to my phone via comp, twrp recovery mode>> USB Toggle allows you to connect to PC! Put the rom on the main part of the SD card and just flash like normal.
Here you should be able to boot up like normal again.
Let me say, Flash Image GUI is a noobs friend till you can learn to use adb more.
I was told you can put a Rom on your card and just flash allowing the kernel to flash as well. I have not had success with this with HBoot 1.5 S On.
Flash Image GUI:
Download the rom you want, Aosp to Sense is fine.
Open Flash GUI and choose the Browse option.
Locate your rom on your card and choose it.
The app will give you a message saying the rom is big yada yada, say yes.
Wait a few moments as it finds the kernel. Once it does, choose flash Image.
Choose reboot recovery and flash the exact rom you picked with the App. Reboot and win.
This is just what I, a noob, have found to work.
I have NOT been able to just flash any rom on the SD Card and have it work. Flash Image UI has NOT been able to get Virus' Rom to load
A's I find more noob friendly tips I can report.
Thanks everyone else for the input! I won't lie, I came from an Evo 4g and am totally lazy as I am used to S Off and just flashing away. S On, I hate you. ADB, I fear you. Flash Image GUI, I want to marry you!
CDMA 3D, I wish we had more AOSP lol
Hope this helps out some people.

ADB is pretty simple to flash with lol
All you do is keep a copy of the recovery.img you are using in your adb folder...
You hold shift down right click on the folder that adb is in platform tools folder is where it's at say open cmd prompt to it. That is the fast painless method
Make sure you have a rom on your sd card.... Also that debug is turned on...
Plug phone in hook to computer...
ADB:
adb reboot bootloader
now:
fastboot boot recovery.img takes you into recovery...
Now wipe don't wipe SD card...
Flash rom your set works on virus roms and any other rom 0 issues
Also Flash GUI works for everyone nothing wrong with it....
I just prefer Good Old Adb to do my work If you need any help feel free to ask man.. I'll do what I can to help ya out if you get stuck..

You can not flash some ROMS through ADB/Fastboot with s-on, it just doesn't work no matter which way you go about it. Flashing a recovery is easy but that was not the OP's problem. The "noob" way that the OP suggested is the only way to get roms with custom boot.img in the zip to stick. I just installed CM9 and ADB/fastboot was of no use. Getting into recovery is easy but will not provide results unless you have used FlashImageGUI.apk first on a working ROM.
Nether CWM nor TWRP work to flash such ROM's with the right boot.img. You must use FlashImageGUI.apk!

Dah da dat ta ta! (Swoops in with my 2 cents)
See the Guide/Flashing Notes in my signature for a walkthru for flashing roms, recoveries, etc. All up to date. Choose your method: fastboot & recovery or flashimage & recovery.
Note: TWRP 2.0 with Dumlock is a workaround to avoid using fastboot (pc). FlashImage is not a requirement, its also a workaround vs fastboot.

There is the HBOOT downgrade. I have ZERO linux experience whatsoever and thought the process was very easy. I know it says to 'brick' the phone, but it is honestly not that scary. I have done two of these already both being successful on the first attempt. The live cd by closeone actually takes care of almost everything, except for actually doing the brick. Trust me being on 1.40 s-off is much much nicer.
I need some serious help. My ex-boyfriend rooted my phone, all I know is that it is s-off, locked, and rooted. Now it is trying to update to Ice cream sandwich all the time and it freezes my phone, or makes it shut off and occasionally bricks my phone. So I constantly have to keep pulling my battery and restarting my phone. What should I do? How do I get it to stop trying to push the update and messing up my phone? Or is there a way to get the update to go through?
It depends on the goal you're looking for.
If you want ICS, flash this: http://db.tt/M09JDsfq
Re-name it PH98IMG and place it on the root of your SD card, then reboot into boot loader.
If you want to stay with GB, I think there is an OTA blocker out there, not sure where though.
ICS is better IMO.

"Root of the sdcard" isn't referring to a folder name. The root of the sdcard means its on the sdcard, but not in any folder.

I aparently no longer have a recovery. when i boot into recovery all i get is a picture of a phone with a red " ! "..... so how do i reinstall amon ra recovery? and why do i need to download the cwm?
Go download TWRP http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1613576 and follow the instructions. Make sure you remove any file also named PH98IMG.zip on your SD card as to not confuse them. From here you should be good so long as you are actually S OFF
1. Download the version for your firmware version NOT ROM VERSION
2. Flash the zip via PH98IMG.zip. If you want to flash via fastboot, use the command "fastboot flash recovery nameoffile.img" if and pull the recovery.img out of the PH98IMG.zip
Also side note, make sure you are in fact on GB and not on a leaked build of ICS before flashing by going into "about phone" under settings.

ugh ok well now im really confused. ok so if all i did was flash a leak where do i get the real one. and shouldnt i wait to flash the recovery until i slash the correct isc? and i tried flashing the supersu that carngeX told me to but nothing happend on the boot screen. and i just tried flashing amon and nothing happend. i just put that on my memory card and boot into hboot right?

Yes you can hold off on the recovery. The one I gave you needs to be renamed ph98img.zip, placed on the sd card. Then boot into bootloader (battery pull, volume down, power) and it will pick it up and ask you to update.
***EDIT*** ooops you are s-off, so amon ra SHOULD flash if you follow the directions above.
****EDIT **** Regarding the leak...the leak IS what was pushed to owners but with global capabilities and some other fixes. You should keep it...

Make sure it is named ph98img.zip vs. ph98img.zip.zip and that it is on the ext-sd card (the one that you can remove) .
Not sure what you mean by "all it did was show the green". If it scans for ph98img files and doesn't find this one, then its been mis-named or put in the wrong place.

Puzzling Please try getting the ph98img file from here http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1339679 , down near the bottom of post 1 and give that a try.
to be honest, I'm thinking you've got it named PH98IMG.zip.zip . Perhaps you've checked it....view it in windows in the 'details' mode where the file extensions ae shown. Or right mouse click on it and check file name in "properties"..
If you're positive its named correctly, cool, but right now I'm at a loss if this other download doesn't work for you.
FYI: I was wondering about the case sensitive issue so I tried using ph98img.zip vs. PH98IMG.zip and it works.
Here is amon ra 3.15 no need to rename it's already named correctly just put on your SD card and flash in bootloader.

Yay, good news. For pointers, I would just look/read some of the info regarding various ROMS in the Dev section. You should go into recovery and back up what you have now, though. Then, you can flash a rom and if you don't like it, just restore the backup!.... Find an app like titanium backup to backup your apps so it makes restoring things after changing roms a bit easier. I always to to the playstore online from my computer and restore apps that way, and use titanium to just restore the data.....other than that...don't let boyfriends mess with your phone!:

ok i just abacked up! any ideas on creating things like battery widgets and stuff? i was just looking through some other posts and it seems complicated but intersting.
I was flashing MeanBean to the newest version 3.09 from 3.07 i was currently on. I cleaned delvik and cache hell I even did the system and it sits in boot. So after many reflashed of 3.09 i finally decided to flash a different rom all together. That rom stays in boot. I'm S-on btw. I dont know what to do. I'm disabled and live alone so I need my phone. Thank you guys very much in advanced.
Sounds like your TWRP may need to be upgraded to the latest. You will have to go to the teamwin website and update using fastboot since you can't boot into the rom. If you have a nandroid backup you should try to restore that first.

You just need to be able to get to the bootloader. So long as you have your PC/Linux set up with adb you can run the adb fastboot command and install the recovery then adb reboot.

Ok I'm in fastboot and theres a usb unrecognize flag. I go to program manage and My HTC under Android phones has a "hazard". With the following after I open it...
This device cannot start. (Code 10)
A request for the USB BOS descriptor failed.
Im on Windows 8 btw. Im headed over to the HTC site to see if maybe there are updated drivers.
Any Ideas? Thank you guys for responding so expiditiously.

Here's a zip of 2.4.1.0 I found from the TWRP thread in the Original Android Dev board. Can't find a zip of the latest. This one should serve you well though.
Rename to PJ75IMG.zip and place in the root folder of your SDCARD, then boot to bootloader.

First, make sure you renamed it properly.
Then, make sure you're putting it in your external SD card, not your internal. If you don't have an external, then just place it in /sdcard
You would be right!!!

When i bring up the bootloader it update twrp and when i select recovery, it reboots to a black screen. How do i pull out the file so it doesnt reinstall twrp every time. It wont open twrp so i can remove the zip. Could that zip file be bad?
Do i need to select clear storage in bootloader?
Does it take time for twrp to load? I dont remember my phone doing this on the last twrp install.
Just remove the SDCARD from the back and you won't have it try to install it every time.
It doesn't take long for TWRP to load really. After the installation, boot into the Recovery through the bootloader.
If he is s-on I didn't think he could flash a recovery through the bootloader.
Update your drivers and try to install the recovery through fastboot.
You didn't need to make a new thread in the wrong section for help as people were already helping you.

Im still getting stuck in boot. I'll try another rom I use.
Does anyone have a copy of the stock AT&T recovery? I need to convert my M8 back to stock for an exchange.
I haven't been able to find one thus far. Also, are the recoveries from one of the international versions usable with an AT&T ROM? Just want to be able to get it back to stock with no tampered and unlocked flag, etc. Was planning on SOFF to take care of the other stuff, but still need a stock recovery...
Thanks!
found this, didnt look through it tho
hope this helps

Yeah, I saw that one too. No AT&T specific ones that i saw. One of the reasons why I asked if you could use one of those successfully on an ATT variant.

Actually, didn't even think about it, but I will have my bone stock replacement tomorrow. So I'll have that one and the one I need to return to stock. Now I just need to figure out how to grab all the goods off the new stock one. I was reading Mr.Hofs thread about stock backups. Do you know how to do it? Not sure I completely understand. Do you put the custom recovery in your fastboot folder and then boot that through the pc?

unlock bootloader, reboot system "so many people don't do this and it causes boot loop" once in system, copy supersu.zip to your phone.
get newest twrp but DONT flash it
keep twrp on computer and go to boot loader and type "fastboot boot twrp***.img" this will boot into twrp without flashing recovery.
obviously you need to put path to twrp in your command. Once in twrp, flash supersu and reboot. open supersu and update or whatever but VERIFY that you have root with root checker or something. while in system, open terminal or whatever you use and type
adb shell
su
dd if=/dev/block/mmcblk0p43 of=/sdcard/mmcblk0p43
exit
When you type SU make sure you watch your phone because you may have to allow it root. This command will drop recovery.img into the root of your sd. verify you have it then copy it to your computer and on your old phone, just go to boot loader and "fastboot flash recovery recovery.img"
then "fastboot erase cache"
PLEASE let me have a copy of this as I did not back mine up. Message me when its done and i'll let you upload it to me. We need to get stock att recovery out there so people have access to it until ruu's come out. There is no private info in recovery either if you are wondering. I would have backed mine up but didn't know you could boot into recovery since you could not with the m7.

Thanks. I'll do it tomorrow evening. I just went through the instructions that are in that other thread. I tried it on my current phone and it seems to have worked. I browsed to the clockwork folder and found the 24mb recovery.img (twrp). I'm gonna do a full backup (recovery, system, etc) of the new phone right out of the box tomorrow. And of course I'll share it! I'll get with you once it's done.

Thanks. I just need the recovery.img i backed up my phone, just didn't get recovery.
I would also like to obtain a stock att recovery.img if at all possible. I rushed to get s-off and completely forgot to backup stock recovery.

Mega probably has the most storage space for a free account. If you download the dropbox app for your phone, can have it back up pictures there as well as other methods. Devhost is ok, but they tend to have slow download speeds, not that it would matter too much with such a small file.
I have a stock recovery image from my M8, if you still need it. XDA won't allow to post a link, until I have 10 posts. I will PM the link.

If not posted by the morning I post stock recovery from dump
PM sent with the link.
I can't post links yet, cuz i have less than 10 post.
Here is the stock recovery thanks to @gcc121! Both links have the same file, just different sources for those that want them.
