Hello everybody,
It's a question about fixing a HTC EVO 3D X515m device, here we go:
status
----------
- When power on = HTC's logo with a white background in loop reboots
why
-------
- It has been upgraded automatically by the internet to an ics ROM.
bootloader info
----------------------
- Relocked
- Hboot version 1.53
- S-on
recovery partition info
--------------------------------
- no any image exist.
ADB command
----------------------
- not seeing the device.
Fastboot command
-----------------------------
- seeing the device and able to extract its information, but no ability to flash or write anything.
CID
------
HTC__J15
notes
---------
- not getting any PG86IMG.zip updates or ROMs.
- wire trick didn't work.
- actually I can't brick it in order to unbrick it again.
- I have tried many RUUs, with no luck.
Any little tips to fix its situation will be so appreciated, you know I have been working on the device around 48 hours and now I feel that I have to through it away.

Wrong section to post in. It should be in Q&A. Please delete your thread and post it in the correct one.
listen to the nazi.. you've posted in the wrong section
meanwhile.. use the htc dev method to unlock then flash a recovery then flash a rom..
or jus download the htc_ara form the stock roms and extract its rom.zip and change its name to pg something then use fastboot to update..
and to the nazi, ure useless and no one will like ur post so get over it.
okay i was wrong to post here, still i do not know how to delete my post, and thanks The Troll I will try htcdev again, even i have tried it, just to be sure i will give it another one..

if that doesn't work, htc_ara will.. jus download it and extract the rom..
rename it to pg89img.zip or something..
forgot :/
fastboot oem writecid HTC_001. this way you can flash any RUU.
Also thread reported for moving.
A quick reminder. Questions should be posted in the Q&A section. Remember that.
I moved this one.
for warranty purposes, try and NOT to change ur CID..
okay I have managed to unlock the bootloader by htcdev, so now it's unlocked. changed the CID to HTC__001, tried many ROMs.zip through Hboot but after loading it and checking it, it will not tell me to update or install anything.
i wanna mention that before it get stuck it was update to ICS rom.
you shouldnt have changed ur CID..
switch it back to j15
download this
http://www.filefactory.com/file/c20....00_10.15.9020.06_M_release_220917_signed.exe
run it..
then when u see the setup, press ctrl+alt+del and open the task manager..
then open processes tab.. and right click the setup and open file location.. there u'll see a "rom.zip"
thats the stock arab rom..
rename it to pg89img.zip
or whatever the name is.. *google it man.. i dun really remember the tiny details*
place it in ur memcard
reboot into fastboot and let it flash..
Nooo I want to stay with HTC__001, any zipped rom with that ? you know I am not going to use any RUU stuff, I have no time to just relocked and locked
someone tell me .... when i apply a custom ROM through recovery , should the bootloader be relocked or unlocked ? please reply the time is short..

If you're s-on, unlocked. If you're s-off, it doesn't matter.
Read, Search, Read again, ... Then Ask with Tapatalk 2
Coal, I didn't get you, i need to know in simple English that... what it can be done with these cases:
S-ON+Unlocked= ???
S-ON+Locked= ???
S-OFF+Locked= ???

Sorry if the other post wasn't clear. I was on my phone and answered with brevity.
S-on + Unlocked= Can flash custom ROMs but must flash the kernel separately using fastboot or 4ext smartflash.
S-on + Locked= Can't do squat.
S-off + Locked= Can flash custom ROMs and kernels without any special procedures. Can change hboots.
S-off + Unlocked = See S-off + Locked.
So, if you are s-on, you must be unlocked to flash custom ROMs. If you are s-off, you can flash custom ROMs whether your hboot is locked, unlocked, or relocked.
Great, now things are getting clear in my mind...
As I know when you mention a kernel that's mean the "boot.img" file, correct me if am wrong.
Since we can install a custom ROM by a recovery tool, and flash a kernel with fastboot...
why there is something called firmware and people put that on the sdcard like e.g PGxxIMG.zip then let the hboot find it then flash it.
by the way, what is Tapatalk 2 ??
AFAIK, the boot.img is the kernel. It might be more (I'm not sure exactly), but when someone says flash the kernel separately, that's what they mean.
Tapatalk 2 is a forum browsing app that works on thousands of sites, including this one. For me, it's worth the price.

A word of caution on flashing just the boot.img file.
There are multiple ways to do that (fastboot, 4EXT app, etc.) but as coal suggested there is more to the kernel than that, such as the .ko driver files, and often things like WiFi and 4G don't work if you flash only boot.img unless it is the same kernel as the one aleady in place. 4EXT gives a warning in the app when you do that.
It's safer to flash a kernel from a .zip file if it is available since it will contain the necessary files, or from Flash Image GUI if you have a bootable Android system since that app looks for the additional files required in a ROM .zip.
ramjet73
I see, but what about the firmware file like PGxxIMG.zip and should be updates through Hboot...
Why I am asking like that is I like to know how things works together and how to flash a devices piece-by-piece... more than just find an RUU or any GUI tools.
in my experience, I could tell that any device has the following pieces to care about when flashing it...
1.Hboot : on this level we can talk about its version and whether its locked or marked with s-on or off. and radio version.
2. boot.img : it's a loader (bootstrap) going in the place after hboot, means the hboot will look for it and it contains the kernel as well.
3. after this will handle the control for the actual OS..
so nobody out there understood what i was talking about.

In the past days, I've seen many threads with messed up instructions on how to root EVO 3D.
Steps are simple.
It depends on "what" you wanna do.
Now, here's a step by step guide but first, you need to know what we will do here.
TO PREVENT YOU FROM WASTING YOUR TIME, GIVE THE WHOLE THING A VAGUE READ BEFORE STARTING THE PROCESS.
WARNING: FLASHING ROMS AND UPDATING RRU "WILL" WIPE ALL DATA FROM YOUR PHONE. BACKUP.
NO, YOU CAN NOT BRICK YOUR PHONE. UNLESS YOU'RE REALLY THAT RETARDED. HBOOT AND BOOTLOADER CAN ALWAYS BE USED TO UNBRICK A BRICKED PHONE.
1) Root - Its like administrator on windows 7. Just allows you to access and modify files a normal user wont be able to access. Anything that needs to be tampered with outside of your SD card, especially a folder called "system" will need root.
2)Hboot - Bootloader. It turns your phone on. Only 08/09 version has S-OFF ability. You can check this version by removing the battery, then putting it back in and pressing vol- and power at the same time till it goes into bootloader. HBOOT version is in the top left corner.
3)Superuser - An Application to grant other applications to have access to "system" folder.
4)RRU - your software/firmware/update
5)Bootloader - Turn off, remove battery, put it back in, press vol- and power at the same time to access bootloader.
6)Fastboot - Control the bootloader.
7)ABD - its like ssh shell but for controlling your phone via computer command prompt with usb cable attached.
8) S-OFF - Gives you the ability flash unsigned Boot.img/kernel zImage files etc.
VODAFONE USERS, TRY THIS: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1495657
I don't have a vodafone branded phone so I have no idea what they are saying.
It depends on many what exactly it is that you want to do and what exactly is convenient for you.
FIRST BASIC THING FOR IT ALL. UNLOCK
http://www.htcdev.com
go there, get everything you need, follow the instructions, and unlock your phone. Cant get much simpler.
I would read the steps first because they're all about how to get ADB and FASTBOOT. http://revolutionary.io/ <--- go here, click download for windows and you'll get all the tools you need. ADB/Drivers/Fastboot/revolutionary.
Make a Folder in C:\ named "adb" and extract the contents of this zip into that folder.
AFTER THIS, THERE ARE MANY WAYS.
1) Flash recovery and roms. Use Fastboot to flash boot.img from every rom you flash or kernel. Why choose this? Simpler but takes time, not 100% compatible with every rom.
2) Flash A recovery called TWRP with dumlock. ----> http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1509748 Why choose this? hy choose this? Simple, but again, Not compatible with every rom and takes time.
3) Flash Recovery and use FLASH IMAGE GUI. *Google this.* Why choose this? Simple, but again, Not compatible with every rom and takes time.
4) Downgrade your hboot, as follows. *Why choose this? Simple. Takes time the first time, but is 100% compatible with every rom out there, and more convenient, fast, etc etc.
SECOND BASIC THING: (IGNORE THIS IS YOU HAVE HBOOT 1.49.0009 or below.)
Recovery.
For the time being, we shall use Revolutionary cwm ---> http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1218800
Why? It works. Thats why. Only 2 recoveries can charge, this and TWRP, we'll head to that later.
Keys are simple. Volume to go up and down, Power/camera for selecting an option.
After the recovery is done, http://downloads.androidsu.com/superuser/Superuser-3.0.7-efghi-signed.zip
Put this in your sd card, get into recovery *Open bootloader, go to recovery, press power to select and it will reboot into recovery. Select install and choose the superuser-something.zip and it will install. If it gives an error, go back, select advanced instead of install and choose fix permissions, reboot into rom.. then reboot into recovery and try installing again.
After thats done, your rom is rooted.
THIRD STEP:
DOWNGRADING HBOOT: (IGNORE THIS IS YOU HAVE HBOOT 1.49.0009 or below.)
Any hboot above 1.49.0009 cant Have s-off.
Make sure USB debugging mode is on which you can find in settings, applications, development.
Click start, in search, write "cmd" and cmd will show up in top, *assuming you're on windows 7, windows xp is start, all programs, accessories*
After the command prompt opens, write "cd CD:\adb" <--- the folder i asked you to create and extract in step 1
then write
"adb shell"
"su" <-- this will ask you you for permissions on your phone, click ALLOW.
"dd if=/mnt/sdcard/mmcblk0p31.img of=/dev/block/mmcblk0p31"
What it should Look like --->http://cache.gyazo.com/6c8c47a5f9c34e3725c081c048dd3271.png
Don' close command prompt and switch your phone to USB storage mode, and copy mmcblk0p31 into your pc. <-- make an extra copy of the original and keep in safe place in case you **** up.
http://www.mediafire.com/?3j0httaa7o171ai <--- hexeditor.
open this, then open mmcblk0p31
Change version in xvi32 1.22.720.1 to 1.20.720.1 and save file. Or just reduce the number.. basically it makes the updater think you are running on a older software version and you need to update. also NOTE DOWN YOUR CID.
Save it back in the memorycard and switch back to charging mode
In the command prompt, write
"adb shell dd if=/mnt/sdcard/mmcblk0p31.img of=/dev/block/mmcblk0p31"
then "adb reboot-bootloader"
Next step is tricky.
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1208485
http://www.filefactory.com/file/c0a...00_10.13.9020.08_2M_release_203403_signed.exe <--- europe RRU
You'll either just need european RRU IF you have a european device OR European RRU and your region based RRU IF YOUR DEVICE ISNT EUROPEAN.
I was gonna post multiupload links but multiupload doesn't work anymore *hurray*
When you run the downloaded file, it will extract some stuff. Then it will show you the main menu where you get to agree licence ****. **** that.
when you're at the agree thingy, just minimise, and open Tast manager *press ALT+CTRL+DEL*, go to processes, choose the setup,in my case, it was ARUWizard. How you can know? It's description is gonna be "ROM update utility". right click it, and click open file location. There, you'll see a "rom.zip"
Copy it somewhere else and rename it to "PG86IMG" <-- this is the update.
within this update, you'll see a android-info.txt file which contains all the CIDs this RRU supports. See if your CID *which you noted down in the previous step* is there in this file.
Otherwise your device is meant for a different region and you'll have to try some other RRU, extract rom etc etc.
NOW HERE'S THE TRICKY PART.
If your device is european and your CID is there in the european RRU's android-info file, you can just use the european version. Otherwise you need to extract the hboot from european RRU, Rename it to the hboot from your native RRU and recompress.
Here's an example.
AAAA.zip <---- european
BBBB.zip <---- My native, say chinese?
AAAA.zip has hboot.xxxx and BBBB.zip has hboot.YYYY
what im gonna do is. extract hboot.xxxx, rename it to hboot.yyyy and put it in BBBB.zip.. *CANT MAKE THIS MORE NOOB FRIENDLY*
use winrar or winzip, remember, files need to be compressed in .zip format.
NOW put this PG86IMG.zip in your memory card. Remove your battery. press vol- and power to go to bootloader. There, it might take up to 5 minutes to scan the PG86IMG.zip and will ask you if you want to update. Select yes. Let it update.
*THIS WILL WIPE ALL YOUR DATA FROM PHONE, NOT MEMORY CARD, SO BACK UP PLEASE*
Now that you have hboot 1.49.0009, lets get S-OFF.
FOURTH BASIC STEP. S-OFF
its simple, turn on usb debugging, run revolutionary.
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=GmQswv3vKrU&list=PL2D3BF8B6A00AABCF&index=1&feature=plpp_video <--- to help you better.
**REFLASHING THE STOCK ROM/RRU WILL GET YOU LOCKED AGAIN**
**YOU DONT NEED TO FLASH STOCK RRU AFTER THIS STEP BECAUSE YOU'RE ALREADY STOCK**
FIFTH BASIC STEP:
Flash your desired rom/recovery.
If you want your stock rom Rooted, the video in the 4th step till the end.
BAAM! YOU HAVE A ROOTED S-OFF STOCK ROM.

Maybe I didn't understand something from OP.
My phone had S-ON with *** LOCKED *** and with HBOOT-1.49.0018
with latest unbranded firmware
What I did is this:
1.downloaded RUU_Shooter_U_HTC_Europe_1.20.401.2_Radio_10.53.9020.00_10.13.9020.08_2M_release_203403_signed.exe
2.downloaded latest device drivers
3.downloaded revolutionary files
uninstaled HTC sync
4. started phone normaly,
5. start RUU upgrade(downloaded in 1. - in my case it's downgrade)
6. after that my HBOOT is 1.49.0007 still ***LOCKED*** and S-ON
7. from revolutionary web site generated beta code for my phone
8. Restart phone, turn USB debuging ON
9. start revolutionary.exe and paste beta code from their generator
10. wait for it to finish
11. Now I got 1.49.1107 HBOOT with S-OFF
12. Tried to flash the same RUU again and I after that I get again HBOOT 1.49.0007 from RUU but ***LOCKED*** and S-OFF!!!

moment you flash an official RRU, the hboot gets locked and reflashed
follow the last part of step 4 to maintain 1.49.0007/8 hboot
REFLASHING THE OFFICIAL ROM WILL RESTORE THE HBOOT.
and its already flashed, why would u flash it again to start with? :|

this is just dump. You don't need higher hboot, higher hboot has nothing to do with software. Okay maybe when ICS comes we will need a new hboot as the Sensation users does, but then we will get a fully s-offed hboot.
p.S. how dare you to call this thread a tutorial?^^
First of all excuse me for my bad english, second i really need your help very much an i will be very thankful if you could help me.
I am living in Georgia, tbilisi.
i wanted to sell my rezound but the guy who wanted to buy it asked me to Put ICS and after he woould buy it. i accepted this suggestion, i unlocked bootloader, put CMW touch recovery and Backup my stock ROM, after flashed cleanrom, but i really did not like it, after i wanted to return it gingerbread, as i was new and i was coming from SII and i just make Restore(as i was doing on SAMSUNG), of course it didn't turn on and stuck on bootloader, after i flashed stock rom but nothing happend, it is stucking on HTC white logo and nothing more. could someone just give me a hand.

Wrong section, please post threads like this in the Rezound Q&A section.
You need to flash the GB kernel either as a PH98IMG.zip in the bootloader or flash the boot.img with fastboot. Because your phone is s-on, recovery can't restore the kernel on it's own. Once you have it fixed, I would also recommend you use Amon Ra for recovery, not CWM.
Wrong section, but it appears that you may need to fast boot the boot.img for the gb rom you are trying to run, if you have not tried this already.
What mjones said lol... beat me to it
as i remember i tried to flash stock 2.3 ROM with it came PH98IMG.zip, but when i tried to flash it after rom it say older version or something like that.
i know that i am on wrong place and excuse me for that one more time but i am really in deep **** because i own money to person i need to fix it soon please guys can u provide me with right things, like give me a link how to s-off wothout turning on phone, and give me the right PH98IMG.zip and stock rom. Please guys i know that it is very hard but i am really in bad situation :
Flash this zip in recovery and then try to flash the PH98IMG from bootloader afterwards....The zip i posted should now allow you to do so.
I also suggest doing more research and reading up on things before attempting them on a device you are unfamiliar with.

now i am trying to update my phone with this 2.01.605.11 Gingerbread EXE RUU
from my pc but it finds some error.
now i will try from
PH98IMG.ZIP
i will tell what will happen.
what i find so quickly if i want to flash any rom i need to be s-off, only one way to make s-off as i saw i need some wires am i right? or is there any other way?
no other way, only one s-off method.
if i were you i would
1. Relock the bootloader.
a. boot into bootloader
b. go to fastboot
c. on pc navigate to your fastboot files in cmd line
d. type "fastboot oem lock"
2. Reset mainver
3. Run the latest leaked ics Ruu
4. Install amon ra 3.15
5. In amon ra go to developer section and install super user (regular not eng)
6. Unlock the bootloader
7. S-off the phone - http://unlimited.io
8. Flash amon ra 3.15 again
9. Reformat your sd card because it most likely got messed up from s-off
10. Install ivysaur 3.2
a. go into the pkmn tweaks and turn the boot animation sound off
b. make sure everything is fine and dandy and there you go
Look into each step further make sure you know what your doing.
I bought Evo which was already upgraded to ICS (OTA I assume), and it was branded I think. I've unlocked it via HTCDev, flashed '4ext touch recovery' and then rooted. Then I flashed MIUI ICS ROM, and everything is OK for now.
I want to use BootManager to flash multiple ROMs. It requires s-off. I tried it already with s-on, because I've read that SmartFlash (from 4ext recovery) makes my phone like s-off, so ROM on SD card installed, but won't boot. I had many problems going back to my Phone ROM, I restored my backup, wiped many times, installed fresh ROM and still had a bootloop. Finally I got it working again by flashing boot.img via fastboot (glad I did nandroid backup before). I didn't try again with different ROM, because after 2 hours of trying to recover my base ROM I've had enough. So I'm pretty sure BootManager will work better if my phone will be s-off.
So my question is - what to do next? We have so many guides and different comments here, sometimes the same method works for one, and doesn't work for another one, and I'm really confused.
I assume I should follow the instructions here http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1743466 but I don't understand few things:
friend.evil said:
flash an ICS ROM from recovery(Method B from 10 to 14)
open ICS ROM.zip and extract boot.img to a folder which contains adb, fastboot and AdbWinApi.dll
go to fastboot and type:
fastboot flash boot boot.img
fastboot reboot

Do I have to do this if I'm already have MIUI with root privileges? Do I still need that boot.img from MIUI, and put it together with fastboot.exe?
Or should I restore stock ICS? I'm pretty sure I did nandroid backup before flashing MIUI.

Sorry for my english, I'm from Poland.
Thanks in advance for any tip.
You're confusing yourself, What you need to do my friend is.
1. Download RUU, Run RUU
2. HTC Unlock bootloader again
3. Do the Juopunutbear Wiretrick to get s-off
4. Download the 1.04 ENG hboot (There is one of those for the GSM I think... not sure though)
5. Flash a badass Android 4.2.1 rom. They work.
There's much more detailed guides on what to do, BUT This is a summary of what you want.
Be sure to hit thanks [= I'm almost to 100
Which RUU should I search for? GB or ICS?
But isn't the 1+2 the same as restoring my ICS Stock ROM from backup?
I think hboot 1.49.0007 would be enough, I've read that BootManager works well with that version.
1. Yes you can just restore your stock ics backup BUT you will have to root it using the file provided in method B.
2. Yes the 1.49.0007 hboot is best for gsm
3. You can flash a GB rom with your hboot no problem. It just dont think it will boot. so technically you should be able to do the wire trick with a GB rom flashed(not booted into). You'll be in fastboot mode for the wiretrick. There are different files for GB and ICS when doing the wiretrick
Your best bet is to run an ICS RUU, unlock bootloader, root rom, do the wire trick, change hboot to 1.49.0007 and then flash any rom you want
Backup was made right after I made root, is it enough? I just don't want to go through the entire process from the beginning (unlocking, rooting etc).

That should work But unlocking again is really easy
You should still have you unlock token in the same place,
You just plug up to the computer hop into fastboot usb and type
Fastboot flash unlocktoken Unlock_Code.bin
to unlock and then
fastboot flash recovery recovery.img
for a recovery,
Then move SU to your sd card and flash it in recovery.
Then your all ready for the wire trick, The more you do these things the more experience you get at them and the better you get with fastboot. I suggest you go through the process opposed to just restoring (First off it's much much safer) and you'll know the ropes if you (or anyone else) has this problem.
Maybe you're right. I'll try with RUU. But I see it's hard to find the correct one these days, some old links died. I have a file called "RUU_SHOOTER_U_ICS_35_S_HTC_Europe_3.28.401.1_Radio_11.77.3504.00U_11.25.3504.06_M_release_262714_signed" which I have downloaded right before I started unlocking my Evo, could it be the correct one?
I didn't know I can use old "unlock_code.bin", I saw that everytime I read the token from the device, it was different. So I assumed that I have to flash bin that match the token.

The token and the unlock code are specific to the phone, And doesn't change until you get a new phone.
And that seems to be the right one, Do you live in Europe? lol Shooter u means GSM and ICS means it's the latest RUU.

I know I use shooter_u, I asked because I've found another RUU which have "Rogers_WWE" in name of the file, and the rest of the file name is identical, and I remember that I had to choose "rogers" when I was unlocking via htcdev. That's why I wasn't 100% sure if I had to choose "HTC_Europe" or "Rogers_WWE".

Should I do this or start directly with RUU.exe? My phone is currently "UNLOCKED, hboot 1.53.0007, s-on".
And what about CID? I've read somewhere that I have to change to supercid or something, to be able to flash zips via fastboot. How to check my current CID?
Search for cid getter on play store to get your cid
You certainly need to relock you hboot before running RUU. For the correct ruu you should check the box that your phone came in. It should have the details (atleast i think so)
P.S. you probably don't need to change cid. Infact i'd recommend you not to do that just yet
Got the CID, it's HTC__032. I want to be prepared, who knows what might come up during the whole process.

Cant kive without my evis comments about the wire trick are bang on. It will fix everything. Having s-off is just much easier so do the wire trick. It will work. My wife and I both have an evo. I had to do the wire trick twice on hers for it to work and four times on mine for it to work. Be patient if it fails the first few times. And if the screen gets stuck on the jounuo whatever screen you can fix that.
If you are stuck at Juopunutbear screen and if you can go to bootloader you need to connect the phone to pc, go to fastboot ( should say fastboot usb)*Go to controlbear folder (from where you ran controlbear to begin withon you pc then open command window in it (hold shift and right click, that willopen command window rigjt there and then*when you get into it you need to enter:
"ControlBear.exe -f" no quotes or "ControlBear f" notice the space after the exe !
Lots of peopke forget to put it in and say it didnt work.
I presume this will fix the problem

My phone is now s-off. I didn't flash RUU, just restored stock rooted ROM from backup, did the wire trick (just one time, surprisingly) and everything went nice and smooth. Then I flashed hboot 1.49.0007 with no problems at all. Thanks guys for the tips.
One more thing - my phone state is now "LOCKED" - should I bother?
So I got what I wanted - I've installed ROM in BootManager (the one which doesn't boot before, while phone was 's-on') and this time it booted from SD. Today I'll try more ROMs in BootManager.
Locked doesn't matter as long as you are s-off. It only creates problems if you ever plan on using fastboot commands. Trust me, you dont need to bother with it
But if you really want to know heres a quote from ramjet where he explains it a bit.
ramjet73 said:
Once the RUU.exe is run and the stock bootloader is installed, the phone will be bootloader S-ON regardless of the radio S-OFF status. To run fastboot commands like "flash" and "erase" the stock bootloader needs to be unlocked by the htcdev method or a custom bootloader modified to support those commands needs to be flashed, which requires radio S-OFF.

you're s-off. dont think you need to unlock bootloader. if you're looking for something close to stock I'd recommend you look into this rom. I know its not stock but its much better. you wont lose 3d capabilities as its sense 3.6.

Its really easy to do it on your own. Just need a few things to set up on your pc/laptop
Install these drivers first: http://dl.dropbox.com/u/97347619/HTCDriver3.0.0.007.exe
Then dl this and extract it in a folder in C:\ drive : http://dl.dropbox.com/u/97347619/mini-adb.zip
Name that folder "android". Now download this recovery(4EXT recovery):http://dl.dropbox.com/u/97347619/recovery.img
Place this recovery.img in android folder
Now open cmd and type "cd C:\android"
Now boot into bootloader and connect your phone to pc and select fastboot on your phone. It should say FASTBOOT USB in red on your phone. This is very important because it shows whether your phone is properly connected or not.
type "fastboot devices" and see if your phone is listed
IF your phone is detected then type this command: "fastboot flash recovery recovery.img"
then to boot into recovery type "fastboot boot recovery.img"
recorvy is not being installed whenever i try it shows remote failed... snapshot attached
oh crap. frogot this completely.This isnt a problem with custom hboots like revolutionary hboot(which is what i use). What you need to do is unlock bootloader from htcdev before you can flash recovery. after that it doesnt matter whether you are unlocked or locked if you want to flash rom.
just follow the instructions at htcdev and you'll get your unlock token

Friend, I again suggest never try HTC dev .. For custom boot loader you can go there:-
http://unlimited.io/jbhboots.htm
1. Download both hboot of your phone like hboot 1.49.9999 for gb and 1.53.5353 for ics..
2. I think your are on ICS (check you are on android 4.0.3) then choose 1.53.5353 and rename it to " PG86IMG.zip" ..
3. Copy this file into root folder of SD card..
4. Switch off the phone.
5. Go to boot loader with pressing power and vol. - button at same time .
6. Once you go to the boot loader , boot loader scan "" PG86IMG.zip"" and after scaning bootloader ask for update ..
7.. After update.. You can check you bootloader version is 1.53.5353 with no "locked" and "unlocked" statement instead he say jopunetbear..
8. Try again flash recovery with adb and fast boot(you known the procedure already)..
I try this method to get root again after flashing ruu(as PG86IMG.zip),
Hope this will working for you also....

No htcdev cannot turn s-off to.s-on. You said you tried it last time and it made it s-on. But I guess you tried the write secureflag command also.
If you don't want to unlock, then don't unlock it, just flash another hboot.

if you have camera problems with every rom then its probably a hardware issue
So I've explored different options on XDA's site for returning to stock and I guess this is why I'm here. I screwed the hell up. I posted this on Phaded's How-To page, but I figured it would also be best to post this in the general Help & Troubleshooting page.
Here's the best way I can explain my issue. Someone please help.
1. My phone is COMPLETELY formatted. No OS now. Zero data.
2. TWRP is installed as my recovery.
3. I can fastboot and adb (only from the recovery obviously)
4. I moonshined the phone in order to S-Off
5. I tried the method to remove S-Off by Phaded
adb devices (verify device ID is listed)
adb shell
su
echo -ne '\x00\x00\x00\x00' | dd of=/dev/block/mmcblk0p3 bs=1 seek=33796

so I can drop a zip file in the phone, but it seems to not work. Idk if I did it right. I was hoping to flash a ROM by doing that. smh.
Let me know if there's any other info I can provide. Considering the phone still turns on and I can still get to fastboot and adb, I don't think I'm a lost cause.
Thanks everyone!
UPDATE
I sideloaded a ROM (Carbon) and now I'm up and running. But I still can't RUU it! Figured this detail will help.
I'll keep reading and researching, posting my progress.
Thanks!
Its ok that your'e formatted the main concern would be 1. To be able to turn the phone on and 2. Boot into bootloader and recovery . It sounds like you are able to do both so the term "bricked" doesn't apply here.Okay so first obvious question did you obtain s-off also what bootloader are you on. Also what are you trying to achieve moving forward, going to stock or staying with custom roms, sense or aosp. There is only 1 ruu available for DNA and you need to be relocked to run and have fastboot drivers installed ala HTC sync manager.

It sounds like you are able to do both so the term "bricked" doesn't apply here.Okay so first obvious question did you obtain s-off also what bootloader are you on. Also what are you trying to achieve moving forward, going to stock or staying with custom roms, sense or aosp. There is only 1 ruu available for DNA and you need to be relocked to run and have fastboot drivers installed ala HTC sync manager.

1. I obtained s-off with moonshine. I used the above command suggested by Phaded and when I put in
fastboot oem lock
Click to expand...
Click to collapse
(or something like that) it says my phone is locked.
2. What do you mean what bootloader? I guess moonshine, cause that's what comes up when I go to my bootloader screen.
3. I trying flashing the ruu and I get this (see image attached) which the suggested fix for error 158 was to flash the hboot 1.15 (or something). But I can't seem to flash it correctly. I can't even find straight forward instructions on how to do it.
Thanks for responding.
The reason I asked about the bootloader version and I'm not 100% sure about this so someone else may need to chime in is that when you ruu you are flashing firmware which includes hboot so if you upgraded hboot before doing s-off or otherwise went up a version then I'm pretty sure the ruu won't downgrade your hboot airgo the error message. Again this might not be true. At this point all that matters is that your s-off and NOT bricked so instead of toying with an ruu I would choose a stock Rom .zip to flash if its truly stock that you want. Your firmware should be up to date if you took 2.06. There is no ruu for 2.06.

It means you can write to any partition of your nand (internal memory). This means customs roms, kernels, splash screens, firmware, etc. When you are s-on it is more difficult, I can't get into why too many words it just is. If you're not s-off and you like flashing stuff look into it.

I'm not finding a solid explanation for error 158 which is disheartening - the best offerings are to change USB ports or restart the ruu. Like I said before you are fine on the software end, you can verify you have up to date firmware by comparing the latest below with what you have.
Baseband (radio) 1.01.04.0308
PRI 2.44_002
As for the hboot, how are you trying to flash it? In recovery?
The hboot needs to match the RUU. You need to find the original hboot . It is in a thread with hboot versions and radio versions.
Link to HBOOT please? and answering your questions
Could someone provide a link for the hboot instructions and flashing?
I think my problem is that moonshine screwed up my phone. I relocked my phone, but when trying to run moonshine again, it doesn't unlock the phone. It just says "WTF: What are you dong" and then it just stops and tells me to hit Enter to exit and the phone is still locked, hence why I think I can't flash HBOOT.
I try and flash HBOOT through recovery. I tried doing fastboot to flash it. Recalling from memory, I think the command was:
fastboot flash "file name.zip"
Click to expand...
Click to collapse
and then it says it can't open the file, unknown error. But I can't find any help guides or how-to's that explain the fix for this.
Thanks! Keep asking questions, cause I don't know what info is relevant.

Moonshine isn't working because you are still s-off.
My thread has the original hboot and instructions to flash it. You do not flash in recovery. You do not put it on your phone at all. Do not push the file in recovery. Read and follow the instructions in the stock thread.

You're doing the command wrong or you renamed it PL83IMG.zip.zip
Please, go in my thread, read each step perfectly and follow. It's really quite simple.
Difference
Is s-off/s-on and being locked/unlocked two different things?
Screenshot
Also here Phaded. I tried different variants of flashing the hboot. I renamed it from PL83IMG.zip to HBOOT.zip. It's not HBOOT.zip.zip cause I know Windows 8 automatically appends the end of the file name with the type extension. As you can see, I boot to fastboot, then run rebootRUU, then I'm trying to flash from there. I got frustrated and tried different things, even unpacking the .zip and trying to flash the .img file.
Thanks for your contribution to the community Phaded.

You need to cd to the directory the file is in, which should be where fastboot.exe is
So if it's in say C:\sdk\
Type cd C:\sdk\
Then run command to fastboot
BOOM!
Alright. Worked. I'll keep you all posted. No one really mentioned in any of the tutorials and how-to's that it is VERY important to make sure to CD to the directory. Like there are developers who say just add it to the PATH in Environment Variables. I figured it was enough, but hey, I was wrong.
Live and learn right?
Thank you Phaded.
So basically my problem was, calling the hboot.zip file is not included under Environmental Variables. I have to intentionally CD to that directory.
Hmm, I must have missed putting in the cd step for the hboot. I'll go edit it.
