Are you s-on or s-off right now? And what version hboot do you have?

Hello,
Please can somebody help me?
I've asked in the forum that I got the idea from (http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?p=35735978#post35735978) and here because I need help tonight and as soon as possible!
Basically, I HTCDev Unlocked my EVO 3D GSM on HBOOT 1.53.0007 and flashed 4EXT Touch Recovery and everything, rooted with SU and BusyBox and decided that by looking at that thread, I could try a Sense 4 ROM. I tried Viper3D which didn't load at all, so I restored my back-up from 4EXT and now even the STOCK HTC firmware won't load and I can't find a stock HTC boot.img to flash via fastboot.
This is the second time I've managed to do this, and if my parents find out I've done it again, I'll never be allowed a phone ever again.
Please could somebody help me, by giving me step-by-step help on how to get it working again? I'd need help tonight because I need my phone for work tomorrow.
If I re-lock the bootloader and run the RUU for my phone, will it work?
Thank you!
1. Relock bootloader if you are s-on.
2. Boot into fastboot.
3. Connect to computer.
4. Run ruu.exe for your country and carrier.
How to do each step is all over this site so you should be good to go.

Thank you so much! I'll give it a go and then let you know what happens!
EDIT: Downloaded the wrong one by accident, downloading the right one now. I'll update when I'm done
Rule no1. when tweaking your phone: Don't panic.
Rule no2. when the first try fails, try again and do some research. what is causing it to fail?
Also hboot 1.53 is an issue you could just downgrade your hboot to 1.49
(Don't ask me for help as I couldn't care if your phone explodes, eh!

Me? Not panic? Not possible! Haha.
I'm downloading the right RUU still, the internet is just too slow!

I would downgrade, but that's way too high-tech for me, given the wire-trick and all. I'll bare it in mind for future, if/when I have a new phone and the EVO isn't as important to me
Okay, slight snag.
The phone doesn't have an OS on it and whenever I try and boot up with a re-locked bootloader it only boots into HBOOT and no further and the RUU won't recognize it.
Should I unlock it again, flash 4EXT recovery, flash a ROM or backup, and then lock and use the RUU?
I'm running out of ideas, and trying not to panic, like you said, but I don't know what to do.
I've flashed recovery, and I've managed to start a restore of my old 3.6 ROM, should I just re-lock the bootloader and use the RUU after it's restored?
EDIT: The restore worked this time for some reason! Thank you guys for managing to help me calm down!
Hey guys. Yes I have searched, but have only found instructions so far for going back to stock gingerbread.
I need to send my amaze in to get fixed under warranty, and I'm assuming they won't like it if I send them the phone with an unlocked bootloader, rooted, and CM10 installed, and that's what I need help with. How can I reinstall stock ICS, unroot, and lock the bootloader of the amaze? And will it show as "relocked" or "locked"? Of course I plan on putting the root and unlocked bootloader and CM10 once I get it back, so I'm looking for a reversible way to do this. Thanks in advance!
Just to be clear. For your bootloader to say 'locked' you'll need to have S-Off and NOT unlock the bootloader again. But once that's done just flash the ICS ruu. Here's a link

Thank you. So I am S-ON right now. In order to make the bootloader say "locked" again to make HTC happy with my warranty, I'd have to be stuck with ICS and whatever updates HTC decides to give us from then on once I got it back from HTC?
No. That's the only way for it to say "locked" if you relock it it will say "relocked"
So if you really want it to say "locked" you'll need to S-Off first. Then flash the RUU.
Once you get it back you can do as you feel.

What makes you think you will be stuck with anything? Everything u need to do is reversible and then re-doable.
Im just not really sure which part u think would make it stuck. Let us know and im sure we can explain the cofusion
After unlocking the bootloader with S-ON and installing a custom recovery/rom how do you revert to Stock.
I've tried relocking the bootloader, and using the AllinOneToolkit by Hanson to install the Factory RUU but it keeps failing after the HTC boot logo appears and the zip RUU file gets transferred to the phone. Keeps saying Failed with 12 signatures or something.
Then I read with S-ON that you had to use Hanson's tool and perform Fix Mainver, but that doesnt do anything either. Keeps saying, error cannot find device.
So, how do I go back to Stock?
Would appreciate any help!
Boot into fastboot, type "fastboot OEM lock" in the command prompt. Put the appropriate RUU on your external SD card and rename it PH85ING.zip and boot into bootloader.
Edit: its PH85IMG.zip. sorry about my fatty fingers. Also, make sure to check the md5 sum on the RUU. I always had trouble with the download.

its not the actual boot logo but that black screen with the HTC logo that I think is part of the stocky recovery maybe?
I have yet to try the PHS.IMG method in fastboot.
Thanks for the help!

Lol what do you mean you havent tried it? Flashing the PH85IMG.zip though the bootloader is the ONLY way to flash the RUU.

This only applies to tmobile versions? What about if we are on another carrier, I tried renaming the OTA updates but it doesnt do anything.

Well guys im absolutely stumped. I bought a DNA off ebay in hopes of unbricking it and getting it back in business. My goal is to put STOCK VZW rom back on it. Im absolutely puzzled as to what im doing wrong here. The Phone will only boot in bootloader mode. It is recognized in ADB. (Please forgive me if im using wrong terminology) Ive downloaded the STOCK RUU. Once the device is plugged in and I open the RUU and get to the part where it ask me to update the image. Both fields are blank. There is nothing in either fields. When I click update ROM my computer just crashes and gets hung. As far as some additional info, My bootloader was UNLOCKED and is now relocked, has S-ON and HBOOT 1.33.0001. Any suggestions as to what im doing wrong. I just want a stock DNA back.

It appears that this has the ENG Boot on it, When it powers up it says something about being illegal to distribute outside of HTC, but then immediately goes into boot loader mode.

Wonder if it got locked while on something it shouldn't have been.
Who relocked it, you or the seller/previous user?
I know in some cases relocking a boot loader on a custom recovery and kernel/ROM basically renders the device useless as it can't boot in either direction if it doesn't have fast boot available.
Perhaps the better course here is to fast boot a stock recovery to it, and maybe a stock boot.img, but it'll maybe take a few tries to find the right version to pass, unless the hboot version is ROM version specific.
Just an idea.

I am in the SAME boat with this phone.. How did you guys make out? LOCKED bootloader, S-ON.
I had this same problem as well. I was able to get it to boot by flashing the 2.06 firmware found here: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2314771
Someone had a custom rom on this DNA, and somehow relocked it with it on. So now, I have a custom rooted rom, but I cannot get the Moonshine (fails on temproot- maybe because its already rooted?) or Revone to work to clean up the mess.
Someone responded to my post with this: "Try booting into the bootloader and use Fastboot to flash the recovery. From recovery flash a sense 3.6 ROM. Maybe that will work." But I don't know how to do this. Keep in my mind everything I do just takes me to the white HTC screen. Please help.

You don't have a rooted phone and you don't have recovery.
If you flash Stock Rom, download stock rom from http://www.androidfiles.org/ruu/?developer=Shooter. With your phone started, start your *.exe rom and follow instructions.
I unroot my phone recently with
PG86IMG_Shooter_S_Sprint_WWE_2.17.651.5_Radio_1.06.00.1216_NV_NV_spcs_1.42_release_233304-signed
and tried to root again last night and somehow sort of brick the thing. I can get into hboot and tried the same image again, and it will pick it up from bootloader. However, once the file finishes loading, it doesn't give me an option to upgrade (press volume up/down), and only goes back to the menu. I really have no idea what to do next. I can get into 4ext, and maybe I can flash a new ROM, but I'm not sure which one.
Currently my bootloader shows:
UNLOCKED
SHOOTER XC SHIP S-ON RL
HBOOT-1.58.0000
RADIO-1.09.00.0108
OpennADSP-v02.6.0.226.00.0217
eMMC-boot
HBOOT
I really appreciate the help. Thanks!
