So the phone is bootlooping. I don't have recovery installed and my phone is S-ON. I tried flashing the 605.5 RUU, it updated the bootloader, but the phone is still bootlooping. I have access to HBOOT, and can use fastboot usb, but I am unsure of how to proceed.
Stats:

MECHA XD SHIP S-ON

FASTBOOT (Working)
RECOVERY (Bootloops)
FACTORY RESET (Bootloops)
SIMLOCK (Don't know what this is/does)
HBOOT USB (Don't know what this is/does)
IMAGE CRC (Gives values for osbl, amss, hboot, boot, recovery)
What can I do to fix this phone?
This is bad. You may be bricked. Might want to talk to the people in #thunderbolt irc.
The RUU you used, was it an exe or zip file. If it's a zip did you put it on the root of the SD card and rename it pg05img and then flash it in hboot? That's how i fixed mine.

This you? Haha...
Thank you for telling me that I have to rename it to PG05IMG before using Hboot to flash. I didn't know that. I've rooted 4/5 phones manually using adb and fastboot. I have a complicated problem that may not have a solution. Suggestions like, "Is your battery charged? / Did you turn your phone on with down button and power button? / Did you rename the Stock RUU correctly?" are not helpful in this situation.
Suggestions like talking to the IRC guys like Adry, Jcase, Scotty and the like is solid advice. Unfortunately, they think it appears to be a lost cause. I am merely exploring other alternatives by asking an fairly open ended question.
Bottom line, thanks for your 'help', now please move along.

And was this you? Not really a complete answer to that question. Guess we all make a mistake now and then...
This is uncalled for. You asked for help, he tried to give it. While you did say that you had tried flashing stock, you didn't specify how. You didn't say you had done it before. Chill out.

Not trolling, just pointing out the obvious. And "useful" includes keeping threads respectful and on track in my opinion which, in this situation, is the one that matters. There is no room here for debate or attempts at witty replies. If you have a problem with my moderation then PM me and we can take it from there. Otherwise, please review my previous advice.
ok im just trying to help so dont bite my head off but im not sure but if you could use the revolutionary tool in hboot and get S-OFF then you could try reflashing a older hboot and i would even try reflashing the radio while your in bootloader since its the only thing you can get into
Also i would download from somewhere else the RUU and flash it again through HBOOT this video shows
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=tE8BiIFUOpk
If that dont work try this
http://revolutionary.io/
plus i found this but dont know if it would help
http://forum.xda-developers.com/archive/index.php/t-1293180.html
resolved?
Old thread I happened to stumble across...
Bootloops are almost always are kernel related.
My advice:
1) see if football hasn't got an official RUU.. RUU reset may work on its own and would be the simplest solution.
2) if no, open up the last known good working Rom or RUU you had before this soft brick.
Steal the boot.img out of the zip file; reflash boot.img from this (stolen file) through fastboot.
Also, if needed, prep by unlocking the bootloader through fastboot (unlock.bin from htcdev).
If you happen to have been using a2sd, d2sd or some other method to allow data or cache to be written to your SD, this also could be caused by /sdext (not communicating with kernel).
Solution for that is fairly simple:
Pull SD card and reformat the /ext partition(s) via a SD reader/writer.
Doesn't seem like the worst case I've seen, but I know not having your phone work can frustrate anyone. Hope that helps.

It has come to my attention that a number of regional OTA updates are now rolling out, specifically US and some Asian areas appear to be in progress.
The reason for this post is for those users who specifically want the regional HoneyComb variant for their region and language, which is perfectly natural and
something which I completely understand.
Firstly some ground rules, so that nobody feels I'm ignoring them specifically:
1. Do not PM me if you "soft brick" ( white screen with HTC logo )
2. Do no PM me with questions about what to do next.
3. Do not PM me about anything to do with upgrades PERIOD.
I will not answer PMs about OTA upgrades unless I specifically request that you PM me. So as you can see I'm not ignoring anyone specifically, I'm ignoring everyone who PM's me about upgrades. The reason for this is as my signature says, questions should be asked in the open forums so everyone can benefit from the information.
Please post any questions or problems encountered in this thread and not in multiple other threads. I will do what I can to help when I can as I'm sure will others.
Above all else don't panic. If your are S-OFF almost anything is fixable provided to don't panic and do something foolish.
What I need in order to give you the simplest and most painless upgrade process is a copy of the OTA zip file for your region.
If you have already gone ahead and tried to apply the OTA and are now stuck on a white screen with the HTC logo, here is what you need to do.
You need to have fastboot working to do this.
1. Get the OTA zip file from you device. Is should be located somewhere on the SD card.
2. Unzip the file using 7-zip or some other zip tool that ignore the signature on the file, windows built-in zip will not work.
3. Inside the file you will find a file called "firmware.zip", copy this file to the directory where you have fastboot installed.
4. Download this hboot file:
http://www.multiupload.com/8BI4CWZWMU the MD5SUM is: 6812365feef394e2d1e3c1cd5ab67d24
CHECK the md5sum before proceeding
Copy this file to where you have fastboot installed.
5. boot to fastboot mode and run the following:
Code:
fastboot flash hboot hboot-6.11.1111.nb0
fastboot erase cache
fastboot oem rebootRUU
fastboot flash zip firmware.zip
fastboot reboot
You should then reboot into Honeycomb.
If you continue to encounter the white screen or otherwise cannot boot, then go to the easy upgrade thread in the development forum, download and flash the "light" version appropriate for your device from post 1.
You should then boot to recovery. Post a message here and wait for assistance.
If this information makes you unsure of whether or not to take the upgrade, that's fine. Please do yourself an everyone else like you a service, when presented with the option to upgrade "Select the download and install later" option and upload the downloaded OTA zip file somewhere where I can get it.
Works !
Just to confirm that OTA from s-off indeed caused white HTC screen (probably due to incompatability of s-off old version of hboot which remained on machine and recovery).
But solution in post 1 worked. Now on HC with new hboot s-off (but w/o CWM...).

Just want to say thanks
This is my first post in the XDA forums. I don't even know if I am putting this in the correct section. Just want to say thank you for enabling me to make a seamless transition to honeycomb and making it a thing of beauty. I would have done this earlier but I couldn't find the donate button and then once I did I forgot I didn't have enough posts to post this into the developer section. So it is quite evident that if a complete NOOB like me can do this the process couldn't have been made any easier. Once again thank you. A couple of beers on the way (I think that's the correct term lol)

Need help stuck on white screen with s-off
Okay, I need assistance please. I bought a Flyer on the Marketplace and gave it to my Mom as a gift, I ran the RUU to go back to stock. I carelessly did not check that the device had s-off Revolitionary and tried to install the HC update. Now I am stuck on the white screen. I have ADB on my pc, I have used it many times. If I cannot boot past the white screen how can I extract the Firmware from my sd card? I checked the developement thread mentioned above and this is one of the steps. I currently do not have a copy of the OTA on my pc. I have the US wifi version of the Flyer from Best Buy.
I tried to run the GB RUU but since my device won't boot past the white screen the pc does not see the device when attempting to run the RUU.
I really need to get this back up and running for my Mom, she loves it and is pretty upset that it is unusable currently.
I am trying not to panic, can anyone help me?
you have come to the right place. Standby for a little and I'm sure Globaltron can fix you up. He's seen this a hundred times. Just be patient. He's in Europe so may already be asleep.
In the meantime if you know how to get into fastboot from the white screen, put the Flyer into fastboot and try executing the RUU again.

Thanks, I feel like an idiot noob, I should've read all of Globatron's warnings before being too quick to update to HC I was careless. I don't use the Flyer so I don't check here often, now I wish I had.

1. Not sure whether you need to relock the bootloader or not.
2. Run the RUU
3. If you locked the bootloader, re-unlock it, flash Amon RA
4. Amon Ra has a menu option to re-root the phone.

Definately need to relock to run the RUU, and I think you need to be on stock recovery for it to work as well. There is a thread that explains how to get back to rooted stock search the development thread or this one. It was popular when the OTA came up . Sorry I have no idea how to post links or I would.
ok thanks. If someone could post a link, it would be very helpful.....thanks guys
First of all, you really should use the search function. This has been gone over in many, many threads already. From what people have posted in response to you you really could have searched RUU and found an answer I'm sure. You could also search "ICS Stock" and come up with a thread. I say all this because people keep posting new threads without doing research and it is cluttering up the board and is getting frustrating. Also, you learn a lot more about this stuff if you read up about it.
That being said... follow the link and info in this post:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=22660531&postcount=12
You also need to have HTC Sync installed on your computer and put the phone in fastboot. You don't need to flash stock recovery first. Also, when you relock your phone will say SECURITY WARNING in pink where it says RELOCKED. You can ignore that. Make sure you back up anything and everything you want to save as this will really wipe your phone for reals.
If you get any mainver errors search for the Awesome Recovery Tool in the dev section which should help you automate any mainver work arounds you may need.

Sorry. Geesh I did search but I guess I wasn't using the correct words to get the help I was looking for. That's why I posted the thread. I was going to sell the phone that's why I was putting it back stock the root is fine. But that looks pretty complicated so maybe I can sell it the way it is.

Well, as I mentioned above, it's getting frustrating with all the threads asking the same thing.
Anyway, it's actually really easy. I did it over the weekend because I wanted to start with a clean slate. Just download the RUU, make sure you have HTC Sync installed but not running, put phone in fastboot, relock phone, double click on RUU. It will do it's thing and then you're done. It takes about 15 minutes or so for the RUU to run.
Otoh, someone might like the fact that there's ICS on it so you may get some nice bids on it if you put it up on eBay.

Except that's the outdated RUU. Use the one in my linked post above.
If I am running cleanrom GBE, will these steps take me back to stock as well?
What I am supposed to do:
Download latest RUU
Flash stock recovery (put on root of sd card, and flash in recovery)
relock in fastboot (is that thru adb?) (fastboot oem lock)
run RUU (this is where I am confused, how do I run it? Like flash it?
then I should be bone stock?
If I wanted to root, I would flash amon ra
Install SU to root.
Miss anything?
Sorry, its a little different than modding samsung devices.
Thanks for you help and pateince
Heather
Yes, but you actually don't need to flash stock recovery first. To run the RUU just double click on the RUU file. It will open up a window and there is a ReadMe (or something similar) button. Click that and read it for more info on what to expect when running it.
Before you run it make sure you have HTC Sync on your pc. It shouldn't be running, just needs to be there.
Also, follow the linked post in my post above for latest version that has a working download link if you don't already have it.
And make sure you have backed up anything and everything you need because this really will wipe your internal sd card. I would back up your external sd card too for good measure. Can't be too safe.
I'm a noob in terms of the HTC rooting process.. Very familiar with the Moto Droid series, so different terms, I guess. Can you explain why the HTC Sync has to be installed, but not running? I've already unlocked my Rezound, after the OTA, and am running CleanROM 3.1. I actually had HTC Sync installed at first, but instead of disabling it, I uninstalled it. It worked like a charm with HTC Sync uninstalled. Maybe I'm an idiot and it's a whole different issue. Like I said, I'm a noob. Just wanted to see why it worked that way from someone who seemed like they would know.
It's to get the HTC drivers for the phone onto you computer.

I tried Hasoon's kit, my device wasn't recognized... then I tried HTCdev website... that was successful, but then I locked it after unlocking it, and I figured out that I probably need it unlocked so I can flash a rom...

1) Grab the PH98IMG.zip from the Amon-Ra thread
2) Stick it on the root of your sdcard
3) Reboot into bootloader
4) Press power - the bootloader will scan for an update package, you should then be prompted to hit volume up to install it. If nothing is found, you didn't place the PH98IMG.zip in the right place.
5) Hit volume up to install
6) Reboot when asked
7) Remove the PH98IMG.zip asap.
You can now reboot back into the bootloader then pick recovery from the menu to get into Amon-Ra. Make sure you back up your existing rom before wiping and installing a new one.
One thing you need to know is that a PH98IMG file can be many things. It is only the name of a file that your phone looks for to use when booted into hboot. So it can be a kernel, an entire RUU (OS), a custom recovery or ROM... basically anything. It just means that item was packed into a PH98IMG file in order to run automatically off your SD card when the phone boots. So you need to know what the PH98IMG file is that you are using or you might flash something you don't want that can possibly cause your phone to not work properly.
You'd be doing yourself a favor by learning to use fastboot for things first so you understand the process more before using the "automated" way of doing everything using a PH98IMG file.
Also, as soon as you have Amon Ra installed and have rooted the phone, make a nandroid of your phone at stock and save that in case you need it if something goes wrong flashing the ROM, as mjones mentioned above. It's much easier to restore the nandroid than getting the RUU to get back to stock.
Another thing to think about is whether or not you want to go s-off or not. It unlocks the security of the phone making it both easier to flash ROMs by letting the kernel flash immediately afterwards by itself and also easier to brick the phone by doing something by mistake. You don't have to s-off, you'll just have to manually flash the kernel after flashing a ROM if you don't. If you don't flash ROMs often you might want to read up about it more before you s-off. I rarely change ROMs and I'm still s-on and it doesn't affect me negatively at all.
Also, there's a "Help" thread in the General section, I think it's a sticky, and some guys have posted their gtalks so that people can hit them up for help. Maybe one of those guys can walk you through it. I would be willing to do it but I'm not as experienced as they are and haven't rooted/flashed anything for a year now.

I should never have flashed my Evo 3D. I had no experience, but a buddy of mine talked me into it. It worked fine for a good while, but now...it just reboots itself randomly, and then freezes during the boot screen. I have to pull the battery to reset. I also can't use TONS of apps that I'd really like to have. Smart Glass, My Xbox 360, Bad Piggies, etc...
Anyway, I don't even know what H-Boot is, or what version I'm on. This is all the info I have...

HTC Sense Version: 3.0

All I want to do is go back to a stock Sprint ROM. I'd like to get the latest OTA if possible. I tried that as well, but it just searches forever. I let it go overnight once, and woke up 9 hrs later, and the thingy was still spinning.
Anyway... Any help would be MUCH APPRECIATED! This thing is driving me crazy. I'll be getting a Note II soon, but I can't take this ROM anymore,
-B
EDIT: Almost forgot... It isn't that I haven't tried anything. I grabbed a Stock ROM off of PPCGeeks, and connected my 3vo to my laptop. I ran the .exe, but it said it failed. I also got a different ROM, put it on the ROOT of my SD Card, navigated to the .zip in Recovery, and initiated a flash. Every attempt ended with the phone rebooting with the same old Synergy ROM. Once booted, I got a bunch of pop-up messages saying that various programs weren't able to run, or something like that. However, these programs included Sense, Phone, etc...

Follow this guide through Step1 and you will be 100% stock on the current Sprint ICS ROM. If any of the apps you want to run require root then you can complete Step2 as well. Since Step3 is for gaining S-OFF I doubt that you would need to do that in your situation.

THANKS! I'll give it a shot, and report back. I REALLY appreciate the help, good sir.
UPDATE: Yup...this is exactly what I did last night. All that happens is that it tells me it failed, and then reboots back to how it was. I just read a troubleshooting section, and it says to check if the bootloader is unlocked, and that if it is (via HTCDev) that it will stop this method from working. I'm pretty sure this is what's messing this up for me. However, they give no explanation as to how someone can change this. I don't even know where to look to make sure it's locked...

The command you need to lock the bootloader is in Step1 of the guide:
fastboot oem lock
Maker sure you read the section(s) of the guide you are planning to use carefully and follow them as they are written.

Wow... Sorry. lol I don't know how I missed that. How do I run this oem tthing? The guide says I should know how to do this, but I unlocked this thing well over a year ago, and only did it once. I just tried reading a tut, but it doesn't even say how to do this, and it also says that if it isn't done correctly, it will brick my phone. He says there is never a reason to go back to 'stock'. Not sure what all that is about. Do I need to download another file for this?

There are a lot more details about issuing fastboot commands in mpgrimm2's thread. That's what I used when I started so I'm sure you can find what you need in there if you read through it carefully.

Meh... never mind. I can't understand any of that thread at all. I'll just have to put up with this until I get my new phone.
If you want, i can help you get your phone to stock Gingerbread or ics fully locked and unrooted via team viewer or something..... Pm me your gmail address if you want. I'm 99% sure It won't brick or anything but then again I take no responsibility . STRANGE THINGS HAVE HAPPENED .....
EDIT : I see you edited it yourself.

Well, the thing is... I understand everything but re-locking this boot loader. That's all I have to do for this to work, but I just don't understand that thread at all. It's just gibberish to me. I mean, is it a program I have to use? Do I type something in? IDK... That thread is pretty hard to understand if you have no knowledge of this stuff.
I found this: http://rootzwiki.com/topic/9322-how-to-relocked-hboot-htc-root-method/ ...but it doesn't do anything when I type in the cmd.
Mogul, you could find a stock rooted Rom that would be essentially the same thing as returning to stock without having to relock. I'm sure RamJet will have a link as I'm at a restaurant ignoring my girlfriend.

He wants ota updates.
He won't be able to take OTA updates from sprint if he don't relock.
@op
You need to download the rootevo3dnew.zip attached in the link you posted above. Then extract it somewhere. If you are using win xp open cmd and navigate to that folder in cmd. If you are using newer version of windows then hold shift and right click the folder which you just extracted and click "open command window here." and then connect phone in fastboot mode and type the "fastboot oem lock". Then reboot the bootloader, you will re locked instead of unlocked at the top. Now you can run the ruu.
Or hit me up on gtalk when you have 20-30 mins time, i will guide you.
