I have the Evo 3D CDMA and I was flashing the Team DIRT AOKP Jelly Bean Rom. I got an error and read the post and found my problem. I have H-Boot 1.58 and that is the version that gives problems after flashing. Is there a way to get around the H-Boot problem? And if not what can I do about it? Thnx in advance for the help

Are you s-off? If so, you can flash any hboot you want. If not: try s-off, makes everything easier

Then you´re probably s-on.
Did you unlock your bootloader? Do you have root access?
When booting into the bootloader it will say s-on or s-off.
I s-offed my phone yesterday with the same hboot, using the wiretrick here: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1743466

You can also try to flash the kernel via fastboot.
extract the boot.img from the rom, put it in your fastboot folder and type in cmd 'fastboot flash boot boot.img'

Restart into bootloader. It will tell you there.
You need to downgrade your hboot if you want to flash any AOSP based Rom. To do that, you must be s-off.

Thanks for the replies guys. Sorry I havent posted back. I am s-off btw. So how do I flash another version of hboot?
Just download the hboot, rename it to PG89IMG.zip, put it on the root of your SD card and boot into bootloader. Then just accept to update hboot.

I suggest you take this one: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1906172
Used it myself, simply boot up into hboot with that file on your sd card, and accept.
Then it'll restart bootloader and voila, hboot 1.49.0007
The hboot wil also say 'locked' on top.
He has the CDMA not GSM.

Damn somebody got hamed on by coal686. By the way homie, hamed is a term in Detroit used to describe somebody that got told off. But on a serious note, this site doesn't need pompous jerks trying to act like they are better by trying to sound intellectually brighter than somebody and having a smart mouth. This site is full of devs and users collaborating together to help one another. So there's no need to be a ****. I'm not name calling I'm just merely stating facts
Thanks jsparta for the reality check. I edited my last post to try to take the high road. Being publicly reprimanded bothers me, but I shouldn't do it back. Sorry klect.

It's all good. I edited mine to to be more straight to the point. Some people do need to be reminded what this site is all about and I don't think you were in the wrong. Although sometimes we all make mistakes its recognizing them and being the better man sometimes. Btw I liked your comeback as well. Not too harsh and got the point across
Thank all of you guys for all the help! I appreciate it. I have another question. I flashed the 3d to metro pcs. If i flash another rom will it delete the flash? and i downloaded apn backup but it says that ics doesnt let it back up or restore anything...
No it shouldn't. And are you flashing a aosp or sense Rom? Either one ics won't allow third party apps to write to the apn xml file. But here are a couple solutions. On sense you can download msl reader and get your msl code. Once you get that code go into your dialer dial ##3242# and punch in your code under edit. Once you do that click on advanced, go to the bottom of page where your mms settings are located. If you know the setrings, edit the settings to your liking. However if its aosp, you will need to make a copy of your apn file. It's located in system/etc folder if you didn't know. Place it in your pc. Use notepad to edit the settings and save it. Copy it back onto your sdcard. Then copy it back into the folder and set the default permissions for the file and reboot. If that don't work try go sms as an alternative until devs fix the issue.

Hello all,
I'm a bit new with the Rezound, I was pretty experienced with the DInc2 and DInc before it, but I'm wondering something, I've looked around a bit, so apologies if I missed a thread, but I haven't found a straight up direct answer.
I have the latest ICS leak installed on my phone, I haven't rooted or s-off'd the phone just yet.... so what I need to know is:
1. Do I need to be S-OFF to flash the GB RUU so I can get the OTA when it releases?
OR
2. Will the phone still pick up the OTA with the leaked version of ICS since the leak is still an "official" build etc.
Hello, i'm also looking for same info, only i'm like a super noobie, I have an RUU, INSTALLED the HTC sync, which failed saying "waiting for boot loader" and that's all she wrote. So I think I need to do something to the boot loader, only what i'm not too sure.
Thanks.

Good question, not new to htc, I came from the tbolt, but if I run the latest ruu as a .img file through hboot, how would I get back to the stock gb rom that's currently on my rez, or will I be able to accept the ota while on the leak?
from my knowledge you will be able to ota to the release as long as it is a higher version that what the current leak is.
and if that fails you could s-off then gb ruu and then ota up.
I would like to go back to a nandroid backup of GB ROM that I had before I updated my firmware to the latest ICS leak. I can get it to restore & boot up, but I have no access to my sd card, so I have none of my apps. I feel like I've tried everything - nandroid helper, old firmware fix - but I don't know what to do next. Any suggestions?
In my trials to go back to a ginger bread RUU based firm ware, the process gets stuck at waiting on the boot loader, the phone is apparently not recognized. It is also not seen by the HTC sync.
the boot loader has been locked I don't know what to do next. It doesn't appear I can flash anything from fast boot menu.

Hello and thanks for your time looking into this.
I am on ICS Leak - and need to go back to GB - the thing is good but the battery is atrocious and it heats like anything.
So I went ahead and put the thing in boot loader and then ran the RUU after exiting the HTC sync. Now I am getting Error 140 - Boot loader version Error.
Ah the pain this phone is causing
I have one more question: Do I have to do this every time I want to go back to a previous backup (one that I did prior to updating to the ICS firmware)? If so, I'm wondering if it wouldn't just be easier to go back to GB firmware......
Ver Change for Error 140 - Android SDK CMD???
According to my research - I need to down the version using hex editor via ADB Shell. Dear God !
I have tried / installed SDK/ and Java Dev Kit. No Go - is there an app I can do this on the phone itself?
Thanks

Given I cannot downgrade back from HBoot 2.25.0000 is it not simpler to wait for the next RUU - whatever that is may over write this one?

You will need s-off to revert but as of hboot 2.25 it doesnt accept flashboot commands. Kinda stuck til a patched hboot gets released if you took the 5/7 leak.

Thanks for looking into this - so my option is to wait for a patched hboot 2.25 or wait for another RUU with an Hboot higher than 2.25.
I was wondering if I could install CWM recovery - and just flash myself an GB ROM. My issues with this ROM are overheating and battery chomping. I wonder if that will be helped with a GB ROM - supposedly more mature and efficient. If this can be done can you point me to a thread?

I may not be able to answer right away but I will get to you. I did something similar when we got s-off and ended up walking around 30 people through the process. I may not have all the answers but I will do my best to help in any way I can. Apparently others are trying to "help" and if you choose to follow their advice if you brick your phone you are on your own.

Uh, I could use some help, but not sure if it's up your alley. However I'm not allowed to post in the proper forum because of my n00bness so yeah... Anyway I'm running the new ICS on my Rezound and using the MinimalText widgit. Basically, is there any way to make numbered notifications pop up on the widgets you create and place? An example would be, is I used MinimalText to create a simple "EMAIL" icon. However I want a little notification to be able to pop up on that icon telling me how many new emails I have. Same with SMS. Any help would be cool, and if not no worries. Thanks.

I know if you use nova laucher prime there is a secondary app called something like tesla unread. So if the theme works with tesla launcher it could be done. Tesla unread makes its so if i have a text it will have a 1 next to my message icon. here is a link,

I think if you run the .12 RUU you should be back on track to receive OTA's again, if not mistaken.
Just download the new RUU name it PH98IMG and flash it in bootloader (hboot). Afterwards you will need to flash a recovery and youll be all set. Being locked, unlocked is irrelevant as long as your s-off. Meaning you never need to unlock as long as your s-off.

Make sure to read through it 10 times and triple check that you have all of the necessary items before you begin. It would also be a good idea to have a USB drive with Ubuntu on it just in case.

As the others have said, post #2 has everything you need. I ran the LazyPanda S-off tool last Friday and it worked perfectly. I was pretty nervous when I did it, but as long as you follow the directions you will be fine.

It worked just as advertised, and for the record I read the instructions 14 times (I can be a little ADD sometimes)

I am right there with you, while it was going through feeding panda and said "cant find device" I about crapped myself.
Same here, bricked, but got it back with Ubuntu. Anyone still on the first hboot don't realize what they got and s-off otherwise your wasting your phones potential. There is no excuse for having hboot 1.12 and being s-on anymore.
Swyped from my eVo
I thought I would start a thread to help people that sent there DNA out to get JTAG s-off and now are trying to flash a custom Rom.
If anybody want to put there experience on here so people know the steps and the correct way to handle the bootloader.
I think it would be helpful. I am still waiting for mine to come back from mobiletechvideos so it would be helpful for me to.
Thanks to anyone who contributes.
I'm pretty sure this should be in general. Just sayin.

Yeah you're right. It's a good thread though. I'm thinking Q&A section would probably be good because of the other stuff in the same section.
It will get moved.

s-off dna
The purpose of the forum is to get the right info I've seen conflicting points on whether or not you still need to unlock the bootloader after s-off.
My understanding was that once your s-off you don't need to unlock because it bypasses the bootloader security checks. I am probably wring but I was hoping to get a clarified answer with this forum what do think choochoo

You shouldn't have to all you really need to do is flash the ENG Hboot and flash a recovery and then flash a Rom most have root already and your good to go. If you wanna use the stock hboot and only want su permission then you do need to unlock hboot it to be able to flash a recovery and superuser or supersu.

Thank you for the clarification. That's what I thought but there are people are posting that u need to downgrade via ruu and then use the beups exploit to supercid and then htcdev unlock and I was calling bullswack on that. Lol thanks again

The eng hboot has more functions available so there is a better chance of messing up the phone. Most people stick with the stock hboot since that's good enough for most.

I agree with that only if your not familiar with using the ENG Hboot, if you are then it's the better choice.

Unless you actually run any of the additional commands included in ENG hboot you will be ok. Much ado about nothing.

The biggest issue with eng hboot is if you try to s on your phone with the eng hboot installed you will bard brick your device.

Why would you try to so your device after you have s-offed it
Where do I find the non-eng hboot? I'm paranoid that if I ever need to s-on my phone I'll further I have eng h-boot and brick it so I kind of want to go back.

Just got my phone back from the JTAG service and this was the exact procedure. Flashed the ENG boot and then flashed recovery. Bootloader still says 'LOCKED' but allowed me to flash.
I've JTAGG'd 18 DNA devices so far on the OTA update (I do this on the downlow due to specific "developer" who can't understand how to get all phones to take the RIFF JTAG flash software.
Flash ENG Hboot if you want the options available to it, though not mandatory. Install a root program (SuperSU is my recommendation), then flash a recovery.
Immediately backup your current setup, then go for any ROM you see fit. Profit.
Hi
My Device is ruby:
ruby pvt ship s-off rl
hboot-1.93.0002
1.Do i need to upgrade firmware?
2.where can i get the latest and most stable firmware?
3.what's the benefit of upgrading?
thanks everybody.
Edit: the reason i'm asking this question is my phone has lots of reboots when i try to awake it. i changed the rom and the problem still there. i bought it since last month and i don't think it's battery has a problem.it worked fine with sence roms

I'm pretty sure you're already on the latest firmware because you're able to flash ICS ROMS. But I could be wrong, you could go into the development section and then look for the T-Mobile OTA. Someone posted the flashable latest firmware.
I don't think the firmware will help you. That seems like a hardware problem. You might have a faulty battery, or your Amaze doesn't like custom ROMS built from source like CM or AOKP.
Maybe you should come back to Super Sense. I'm going to update it soon too. For the Amaze, there's no place like home such as a Sense ROM.

Thanks a lot afnan.
I thought hboot version shows the firmware version, but from your reply i take i was wrong
I'd really like super sense, but with super sense i had problem with two things:
1.on a unexpected reboot, it loses the ability of sms delivering!
2.after 4,5 days , notification sounds goes back to default!

Wait, turn off your phone and take out the battery. Look at the golden connectors. What you need to do is CLEAN the connectors. Use rubber from a pencil (eraser), and you could also use a wash cloth (don't put so much water!!!). Your goal is to make the connectors clean since random reboots might be caused by the battery being dirty and losing its connection with the phone! :thumbup:
Okay if that doesn't work I think you should buy an Anker or OEM stock battery from eBay.com (do they even have eBay in Iran?). Those are great batteries! DONT BUY A CHINESE BATTERY! (They are bad and can break or leak, they're too cheap!)
If that doesn't work I'm not sure what will! You could have a hardware problem.
As for the alert sounds, I think I've fixed them! There was a small error in the build.prop. I also added back the original Sense 3.6 tones so you should be good!

ok,I'll clean it up. and unfortunately we cannot use ebay in IRAN.
and once again thanks for your effort on amaze 4g, you're my hero
I wanna ask you another question. when my reboots were too many, i decided to recover my old backup of cm10.1 rom. after boot, i found out it didn't bring data partition back and all my applications are gone!:crying: then i tried to recover again, and watched the procedure
it recovers the /system and some other things but suddenly the procedure goes away and it doesn't display completed message. it's like the 4ext recovery starts (boots) again. i didn't have this problem with backup of supersense. what's your opinion?

Well CM is built from Jellybean source. It might have a few quirks or errors, and maybe 4ext forgot to backup the data block.
You could try amazon.com as well. The stupid sanctions were placed because of losers like Bibi. They need to stop.

Okay my hboot is actually 1.93.2222. I have the latest firmware. But I'll find you the flashable zip for it. I remember it was in the ARHD thread and latest OTA thread. If you can find it, you're excellent at searching.
I also have another thing you can try, when you install 4ext and let the app flash it, go into recovery and go to tools/options and choose "fix permissions". That might work but I think you have dirty battery connectors, or just a bad battery.

You need to put this on your external sd (ext_sd). It should already be named PH85IMG. So you should be good to go! Also DONT INTERRUPT THE UPDATE PROCESS. When it flashes, do not take out your battery, ever, or you might brick. If you think it got stuck, it didn't, it's probably just being slow. It shouldn't take that long though. Hope this helps!

Yes it should only affect the bootloader and firmware. It doesn't affect recovery. :thumbup:
If you switch from TWRP to 4ext to save your backup, you need to restore your backup then flash 4ext over it. Then backup with 4ext and delete the TWRP backup since they aren't compatible. At least 4ext is better. :thumbup:

Hmm did you rename it to PH85IMG? Something doesn't seem right. I think you might be on the latest since my Amaze actually had the Juopunutbear Hboot. That's probably why. You can get the Jbear hboot when you S-Off and it asks you if you want it.
Did you try cleaning the metal battery connectors to fix the random reboots yet? Some guy named Zeilan made a small guide to fixing random reboots by cleaning the metal cknnectors. :thumbup:

i flashed the latest nightly build of cm from it's official site yesterday and so far i had no problem
I found it here
now my hboot is 1.93.2222
after update rom stuck in booting. when i went to recovery, it alerted me to wipe all partitions after changing hboot. and i did and flashed cm10 again and it works fine.
