HELP with ICS update problems! - HTC EVO 3D

Can someone please help me?
So, I allowed my phone to update to ICS overnight, when I woke up, it was stuck on the HTC loading screen. I've tried everything I could think of with the limitations that I can't fastboot flash... I've tried to flash RUU from recovery, the PNG89.zip thing... and even wiping... I can't enter my phone except for recovery, and my computer can't find my phone because the settings are changed on my phone, so I can't change it. I can't do any fastboot flash commands which sucks... can someone please help me?

Unlock using the HTCDev method, flash a new recovery and flash the rom at the link below, it's a rooted version of the ICS update
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1808150
This SHOULD get your phone working again

I'm guessing you were rooted and then took the OTA update, which you should never do.

I wasn't rooted, I just did the HTC bootloader unlock... I still had custom ROM and everything since at the time I did it, no ROMs supported the bootloader... and now i just don't feel like putting ROMs on... so it's stock ROM, but 4ext recovery. I'm sending the phone in for repair... I'm just gonna have to pay a bit because of the recovery...

[Q] Unable to boot into recovery

Ok... So a couple of days ago, I was having bootloop issues on Ineffabilis 1.3 using the Anthrax kernel. After doing a battery pull, I booted into the bootloader and then to recovery and found that my roommate, while playing with my phone, had flashed the ClockworkMod Recovery, I suppose through the Rom Manager app.
I figured it would be ok to do a full wipe and re-flash the rom since flashing the stock kernel didn't stop the bootlooping and I would just flash AmonRa back when I was done to do a backup.
Well, after doing a factory reset from CWM and getting errors thereafter trying to flash the superwipe and Ineffabilis, I rebooted the phone and skipped through the setup to get to the restart menu to get into the bootloader again to flash AmonRa. I was able to flash it, but now every time I try to get into the recovery whether from the restart menu, ADB, or through the fastboot menu, it automatically restarts the phone as soon as the recovery is loaded and goes back to the OS.
Has anyone experienced this and is there any way to fix it to get back into it?
Sounds like you have a ph image on your sd card. Just delete it and you should be fine
sent from ics land
I've long since removed all PH files from my phone, internal and external sdcard included, and even if there were that's never stopped my from booting directly into recovery from the restart menu or through ADB.
I've even gone as far as removing the external sdcard with the same result. It just boots into recovery and as soon as it loads for that split second, it automatically reboots to the HTC screen and back to Android.
I still have root and my phone isn't bricked. I just can't flash any roms or kernels in the future when we get our official ics update. WTB my EVO 3D's hboot 1.4 back...

what happens when you try to go to recovery...
i would just reflash a recoveyr in fastboot. cant hurt.
What it does is as soon as it boots to recovery, I see it load the recovery and then as soon as it loads, it's as if the phone automatically selects the reboot option and goes back through the normal boot no matter which method I use to boot into recovery.
I've done the fastboot method which flashed successfully, tried to re-flash clockwork using rom manager, scott's tool, adb & fastboot, also used scott's flash tool which was also successful and it just seems as if recovery mode is borked somehow and using these methods to go back to AmonRa produce the same result. I'm usually good at figuring these things out myself since I've been rooting and flashing since my first Sprint HTC Hero, EVO 4G, 3D, Epic 4G/Touch and I've never had anything like this happen before. Completely stumped .
Have done a search and haven't found anyone with the same issue so I have nothing prior to go off of. The phone works fine for now so I'm in no hurry since I still have root and thankfully Titanium Backup for my apps. Not sure what to try next at this point.

From hboot, choose factory reset and see if it boots you into recovery. I had a similar issue after running the new RUU, once I chose that it booted into custom recovery and i was able to reboot and then afterwards had no trouble accessing recovery.

Ok. I'll give that a whirl in the morning and see if it solves the problem.
Bump... I'm stuck with this issue...
Hi,
Spent the last two days trying everything I could think of to get a custom recovery loaded on my rezound with no luck. Have searched everywhere and short of trying to hex edit some code nothing has worked.
I was on a custom ICS rom and applied the 4.03.605.2 RUU (hboot 2.27). Was S-ON with unlocked bootloader. I locked the bootloader, installed RUU successfully, unlocked the bootloader with my token. I tried flashing amon-ra, CWM, TWRP many versions of each by fastboot and hboot (PH98IMG). The custom recovery is successfully written in each case, but i can't successfully boot into the recovery partition either from fastboot or hboot menu option. I can write the recovery.img file from the RUU zip, and all is good. Ultimately, I am just trying to install a custom ROM/root my device.
I tried the above advice about performing a factory reset. No Dice. So for now, I am stuck in Verizon bloatware land, and very unhappy about it.
Suggestions welcome. Thanks everyone.

Hook up to PC. the phone can actually adb when turned off. or make sure ROM is booted with ADB turned on. It should connect to adb. Does it? Then your command would be "adb reboot recovery" after you have flashed a custom recovery. So what does it do when you try to enter recovery?
Thanks. Did try that, but not with phone off. I'll try both for good measure and let you know. Thank you fly...

Hi Fly,
I was unable to get adb to see the phone when it was off with either a custom recovery or the stock recovery. When I rebooted to recovery from adb with a custom recovery installed, it attempts to boot to the recovery partition but fails and boots back to the OS (this is true when using adb, fastboot, and hboot to boot to recovery). When i reinstalled the stock recovery, it successfully boots to recovery using all methods.
i have tried other custom recovery versions, TWRP (preferred), AMON-RA, CWM Recovery...
annoyed.
Thanks Fly. Any other ideas?

I'm out of ideas. Since your s-on you can't go down to the OTA RUU and try there. Maybe someone else can spread some light.
Well one more idea. Boot your phone into Fastboot. Plug into computer and download a custom recovery to your computer. The command to use is "fastboot boot recovery.img"
If that does work then download http://downloads.noshufou.netdna-cdn.com/superuser/Superuser-3.1.3-arm-signed.zip and flash it inside of recovery. That will give you root inside your stock rom at least.

Hi Fly,
Nothing doing. Can't flash the attached in stock recovery, can't boot into any recoveries with stock flashed or with custom recovery flashed. Seems there must be some new security built into the new RUU? I did note one thing. When I first flash the RUU the hboot banner says relocked (as i have to relock to install an RUU). However, as soon as I flash anything to the recovery partition it adds a new white on black banner that says tampered. Now, i have seen that before when I s-off'd my rezound previously (returned to verizon for audio problems). I never did s-off this particular phone. I don't recall my first phone flagging a new recovery or this phone flagging a new recovery on the old firmware (i could be wrong though as i don't spend a lot of time in hboot).
Still hoping to put a custom recovery on this. Any other way to load a custom rom? i really want to run Neo's AOKP, as I had that on here before I RUU'd. In fact, i got into this position because I was going to s-off the phone, but I had a custom rom. I started looking for RUU's to restore to stock because controlbear wouldn't work with custom rom. Instead of installing an early ICS again, i opted to install the latest RUU.
I searched the forums high and low and wasn't really able to find anyone with this problem. I wonder if there is something wrong with the RUU? I checked the MD5sum and it matched. When flashing recovery i checked the mainver too, so it isn't that... I'm stumped.
This phone wasn't real popular and is gettting old now (man, the lifecycle on phones suck, I had my N1 through many roms and AOSP releases! These new phones are gone in 6 months, a year tops). I doubt anyone is going to trouble themselves to crack a new HBOOT on this phone (this is 2.27).
Only other things i can think (and I haven't tried yet) is trying zergRushing it for temp root to at least remove/freeze the bloat like I did with this phone when I first got it. Or if I can just get a rom installed without a custom recovery I don't flash as often as I used to and figure an upgrade isn't long off. Or if i could downgrade the hboot or install jb hboot...
Would love it if someone had something new to try.
Thanks so much again Fly and happy holidays.
Success! (but how?)
Ok Fly,
I don't get it... not at all. I tried, just for the hell of it, a little more tonight and my phone was happy to flashboot boot TWRP 2.2.2.1 SPECIFICALLY. I was unable to get other versions working or other custom recoveries. I have no IDEA why. I can only think that the recovery partition is too small for some recovery.imgs? but 2.2.2.1 is actually bigger than 2.3.3.0 that you compiled for the rezound. Anyway, i have ROOT! now, my first step before I dork with anything is to S-Off this bad boy so i can move around a little more. I will probably still leave the locked bootloader after that, just to keep me from n00bing up. Haven't tried flashing the twrp recovery yet, don't want to goof up my S-off chances or not give you a chance to ask a question.
If you want some forensics to help others out, please let me know. I am gonna leave this phone alone for a day in case you have questions. There HAS to be some lesson in here. Totally random to me. (last thought) i was running 2.2.2.1 before I ran the RUU... wonder if that has something to do with it?
Thanks again Fly.

Anytime :fingers-crossed:
Crazy how things work like this. But the recovery partition shouldn't be to small to flash a custom recovery. Good luck. Just sounds like one of those rare things that happens.

So u can't get to recovery? Do as the previous post said and flash an official ruu, then if you want to, use the HTC unlock method, then s-off your phone (not 100% if you need both)
Flash recovery, then flash rom.
Back up first.
Did you try factory reset while your in bootloader

Is the phone S-OFF or HTC unlocked? This happened to me last night (infected superwipe crashed and I must have lost my recovery). I used fastboot on my PC to re-flash a recovery and then used the recovery to re-flash my ROM.
yeah, its all rooted and unlocked hboot 1.50

Mine would not boot into recovery. When I booted to fastboot and selected recovery, it would just restart into fastboot. So, I had to reflash recovery. Go to the TWRP 2.1 site for directions. I used the ADB and Fastboot method, but if the PG86IMG method works for you, it might be easier.
Follow the directions on their site and you hopefully will be able to boot into recovery. If you can, flash the ROM and you should be good to go.
EDIT: Just saw your post with screenshot, so you know how to use ADB and Fastboot. Recommend trying TWRP and see if that flashes successfully.
EDIT2: Doing further research, I found this thread. The OP had the exact same problem you are seeing with the Evo3d. Someone suggested using the 2.08 RUU and it worked for him. So, if the TWRP recovery does not work, you could try that.
Is the bootloader unlocked and do you know if there's a custom recovery installed if so you can download a ruu to your pc and put the EVO in fastboot and run the ruu check football in the dev section he has all the ruu's for EVO 3d check it out you can't go wrong there

Now it doesnt even turn on, it shows a charge light
How may copys of cwm do you have in your fastboot folder ??? Also if its showing a green light let it charge via ac for a few hours with the power off. Id recommend leaving it until the light turns green. It might take a while

Even plugged in to AC, you can't get into Fastboot? I've been able to get into Fastboot even with the battery out as long as I was on AC.
witht he battery out and plugged into the ac, i cannot get into fastboot. the phone isnt recognized anymore by my computer and i can no longer get into fastboot. ive tried booting without the sd card, leaving the battery out for a set time, almost everything i can do, besides other cables. the only thing i can think is theres battery problem, but maybe something else. any ideas?

[Q] Which Stock RUU/ROM

Hi folks,
I have a HTC Evo 3D from the UK bought sim free, rooted it with s-on and tried to install a rom with 4ext, got stuck in bootloop, tried clearing cache but it never worked, tried a few different roms (not the best idea) and failed loads, the back up I used successfully before stopped working and in a mad attempt to get anything working I managed to stop 4ext as the recovery and its now CWM Recovery v4.0.1.4. It doesnt boot loop it just stays on the HTC screen without doing anything else.
Is there anything I can do?
I have tried the shipped RRUs but run into an error each time, probably since I am just guessing at which I am supposed to be using, is there a way to figure it out? Or a rom/cwm way or a way of getting another backup/restore file?
Any help is very much appreciated, I shouldnt have been allowed the USB cable! lol
Thanks

4ext recovery is the choice for s-on users so using cwm is a bad idea. You maybe experiencing bootloops on 4ext because you may have not had smartflash enabled. S-on users cannot flash kernels through normal means through recovery like s-off users can. With smartflash this is possible. So my suggestion is to reflash 4ext through fastboot and enable it if you havn't done so and do a full wipe of your phone and reflash your rom and see if that work. As for the ruu's. You have to have your bootloader relocked to flash them. You can flash them through bootloader if they were signed by htc but if not, you will have to run the ruu exe on your pc which still ofcourse needs the bootloader to be relocked.

Did you type the command with the exact name of your recovery file in your folder? Also do you have HTC sync installed? If so uninstall it. It will interfere with fastboot.

Are you sure your bootloader is completely unlocked? Sometimes when you apply the unlock bin code the unlock screen doesn't show up with Ics. What kind of output do you get when you type the fastboot flash recovery command? There might be a clue. Well in any event I'm going to trouble shoot your problem. If you could copy and paste the input and output of your command that will help alot.

Edit: let's try to get your phone back on stock and unlocking your bootloader instead. I read your post about how your having trouble flashing ruu. The first question is, is your phone branded or unbranded? Depending on either you will have to find an ruu exe file based on the region and carrier if branded. Just google it up. Next your phone will have to be in relocked state if your bootloader says unlocked. Type fastboot oem lock to relock it. Now you can run the file. Remember you must have the right on or it won't take. Remember after you unlock it again it will erase all your user data. Let me know if you succeed or not and then we can proceed from there. Oh yeah here's a link you might want to read up on about the whole ruu thing http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1655832
Pretty sure its fully unlocked, I was able to run superSU, install 4ext and busybox etc.
I have got 4ext working again, the problem appears that the two recovery.img files I had tried were not the correct version for my phone, I've got the right one now and can boot into 4ext through the recovery option.
Okay, now try to flash a sense Rom like cool sense and let me know if it boots for you

[SOLVED]I need help with ROM!

Hey, So i have a problem, I tried rooting my phone, and i guess i messed up somewhere, I lost my OS, and didn't create a backup because i'm stupid and didn't realize this could happen. I found a thread, relating to a similar problem, but a different phone so i relocked the phone with Hasoon's tool. Now i cannot find a proper RUU For my phone. I have an HTC One X+, Radio is 2.14.55.11, And the stock image is 1.20.661.1 or something. All i want now, is to return to stock. I've tried the RUU's from androidfiles . org/ruu/?developer=EvitaRE But no luck. It has some sort of error nearing the end. At the moment i can't find the error, as my phone is under %30, So after it reaches about 70, i'll try again and post the error. I'm getting pretty scared, as i'm new to this, and i don't want to lose my phone. Any help would be appreciated.
I don't really know what else to post, besides the radio, stock image file thing, and that it's the north american phone i guess, EvitaRE. The HBOOT is 1.40.0000 and it's stuck at the loading screen, 'HTC Quietly Brilliant'
Factory Reset's do not work, and push me back into the loading screen. It's in infinite boot, i guess, where i power the phone down and it just boots up again without me doing anything.
I dont know where i went wrong during the rooting process, as when Hasoon did it in his video tutorial, It worked out perfectly. but for me not so well, After flashing and unlocking bootloader etc, i clicked perm root, and i couldn't find the SuperUS or something, so i went to power the phone down into bootloader and it said i had no OS. I don't know what i did, and all i hope is that my phone can be somewhat revived so i can use it.
Thank you for reading, and any helpful information would be just appreciated.

EDIT: Extremely sorry, but i have found other posts about this, but i can't seem to understand the fix, so if possible, please dumb it down for me! I'm extremely sorry for even attempting the rooting in the first place :S

[Q] Phone isn't starting anymore. No recovery, no ROM.

Hi all,
Since short I cannot start my DX anymore. It boots automatically into the bootloader (fastboot).
When I open recovery it stucks on the opening recovery screen.
When I flash a new recovery it keeps the same problem (already tried 4 of all the available).
When I do fastboot erase cache it still doesn't work.
The ROM is corrupt so that doesn't start too.
I have an unlocked S-Off phone with hboot 25.002 .
could somebody please help me?
I had same problem. The thing is that because you are S-off you must have flashed wrong rom for your hboot and that messed up the internal partitions.
I have also tried every solution you can think of but eventually the only fix was that I sent it to service. It was in waranty and they replaced the motherboard.
downgrade hboot, install ics-ruu and start from scratch.

Damn!
I have removed my s-off because I thought it wasn't neccesary. Also the commands gave me errors.
But god no, ofcourse it was neccesary, it was a s-off thread.
Now I'm stuck..
Is there any way, or does it really have to be repaired?
Damn, that wasn't smart at all.
so your phone is S-ON now?
and your bootloader is locked/relocked?
no wonder nothing works...
just repeat the unlock-procedure at htcdev and you should be able to flash a custom recovery again.
Download windroid HTC desire x toolkit and install it on Windows pc. connect your phone in fastboot and install twrp recovery. Hope this will work.

would be great to know what the phone's doing exactly? cause there's a huge difference in "not booting" and "not switching on"
