Try putting the file on the ROOT of your SD card. Navigating through folders to get to it will botch the installation.

Hi I have spent days on this but I can not find an answer to my issue.
I am a noob but have learned a lot over the past few days just reading.
I have an unlocked HBoot 2.1 bootloader. I can not boot to Recovery, it errors out. I pull the battery and reboot, everything is ok.
I can not root. I get errors - Permission Denied.
I tried to do anything in adb shell and I get Permission Denied or operation not permitted. The phone works but I would prefer to root.
I appreciate any feedback.

Are you using the OneClickRoot?
Did you flash a custom recovery? If not, download Amon Ra here:
http://www.mediafire.com/?chpoxzb8bl4nn2b
and flash that then use that recovery. If you want root, go into the developer menu and install su then you should be set.
I did try One click as well as few roots. I will try to figure out how to "flash the recovery" and report back.

Pull battery, put back in, boot into bootloader (hold volume down and power) and go to fastboot, connect to pc, in cmd prompt on pc type:
fastboot flash recovery nameofrecovery.img
Just make sure you add the .img on the end of the file name or you will get an error.
After you flash that successfully, go into recovery on the phone and navigate to the developer menu and there will be an option to install su. Do that and you should be rooted.
Since you unlocked, I assume you are set up to use fastboot. You can put the recovery file in that same folder you were using and run the command above.
Can't flash recovery image
I read the instructions on how to flash a recovery image from the computer. When I try it through the adb I still get Permission Denied. I can't do it from the emulator on the phone - Permission Denied.

Did you add ".img" to the end of the file name? I had an error before I did that.
Also do you have the following items in the folder you are using? (you don't need the unlock item, I just keep that and recovery in there to have them handy) Those are all the items you need for flashing stuff so if you have a bunch of other folders and files you can get rid of those and just set up a folder like the attached pic.
Also, make sure HTC Sync isn't running.
Just flash the recovery through fastboot, Amon Ra specifically as you can gain root from it as well.
Thank you all for the suggestions, I really appreciate all the advice. I tried to flash from the computer and got "Failed (remote: not allowed)"

You can flash the recovery right from the phone.
If you downloaded the OTA update download this
If not, download this
1.Put whichever file you downloaded onto the root of your SD card, which is ext_sd. Rename it to PH98IMG.
2. Pull battery out. Put it back in. Hold power & volume down until you're in H-Boot. You will see green text moving and it will eventually say, do you want to update? Press volume up for yes and then press power to reboot.
3. Delete the PH98IMG.zip off of the root of your SD card.
4. Pull battery out, press power & volume down until in H-Boot.
5. Scroll down to recovery and press power.
6. You will be put into Amon Ra recovery and from there, you can root your device.
Hope I helped! If I did, a thanks would be greatly appreciated!
As far as I know I did the OTA update. I downloaded that image and renamed it - put it in the root of the SD card and the green writing says - wrong image or no image.
Thanks,
g

Problem one is you need to reunlock your phone with the file from htcdev. Once you do that flash AmonRA via ADB and use it to root.

Now it says

Tried it with both images older and newer - although they are the same size so I am wondering if they are the same image.....
Same error
Main Version is Older!
Update Fail.
Unlock using this command in fastboot with the phone connected via usb.
fastboot flash unlocktoken Unlock_code.bin
Then flash the recovery with this command.
fastboot flash recovery nameofrecovery.img
Nameofrecovery.img is whatever the name of the recovery image is. That is just an example.
The recovery should be in the same folder that fastboot and adb is in. If you need to download it again you can get it in the Amon Ra thread in the Dev forum.

my bad - the recovery did flash. Thank you! I will try to see what I can do now.
Ok, so I have never had this much of a problem before. I have an S-on, unlocked Rezound.
The problem started when I was trying to move from BAMF Rezound ICS v2.1 Official to ViperRez 1.0.3. I backed up all my data using TI backup to cloud and then did a complete recovery backup in amon ra. Then I flashed ViperRez and went to bootloader and flashed the PH98IMG file. I rebooted the phone and it was working. When I started restoring TI data and apps I made the mistake of restoring data without a few apps and following a reboot, an error would pop up telling me android.phone stopped and shortly thereafter the phone would reboot(cycle).
I took out the battery and tried to get to recovery through bootloader and forgot to delete PH98, accidentally pressed up and it reflashed. I found my sd card reader and removed PH98 from the SDcard and rebooted to bootloader to get to recovery. That is when I could no longer get to recovery. With a power on the phone is stuck on HTC splash, I tried amon ra 3.15 and 3.14 flashing through fastboot cli. I was able to flash and get to CWM and TWRP, but neither lets me mount, so I cannot try a new ROM. HELP!

I would probably start over with the same or newer RUU. that will put phone back to stock, with stock recovery. You will have to unlock again, then flash a custom recovery, and custom ROM.

If I can't flash a ROM due to the /system /data and /cache in recovery, am I supposed to flash in fastboot? ie fastboot flash boot boot.img? I'm worried that my internal partitions are having issues. How will this fix the problem? Which RUU should I be using, 3.14.605.5?
I attempted to flash Vigor_Stock_Doedexed_3.14.605.5.zip in TWRP 2.2(I can only get to TWRP or CWM recoveries if I flash them in fastboot not amon ra). It failed. Here was the readout:
E:Error in /sdcard/Vigor_Stock_Doedexed_3.14.605.5.zip
(Status 0)
*Verifying filesystems...
*Verifying partition sizes...
E:Unable to mount '/system' (tw_mount)
E:Unable to mount '/data' (tw_mount)
E:Unable to mount '/cache' (tw_mount)
Error flashing zip '/sdcard/Vigor_Stock_Doedexed_3.14.605.5.zip'
I changed the name of the doexed vigor zip to PH98IMG.img and ran it in bootloader. Normally it'll ask me to reboot after an install this one didn't, which I thought was odd. Needless to say there is still no ROM and it is still unlocked. I tried to flash amon ra again and that was to no avail. I can still flash CWM and TWRP.

I said I would post a follow up with details on how to get out of this situation in case anyone else comes across a similar problem. Basically it comes down to the internal storage needs to be rebuilt, and to do that you must flash an RUU. In my case, I was S-ON and Unlocked, and was worried about re-locking. That was my impass.
Step by step:
1. Re-Lock your device. (Make sure you have your Unlock_code.bin so you can unlock later)
2. Find a good RUU for your device, either GB or ICS depending on the current setup. (check md5)
3. Rename it as PH98IMG.img and place it in the root of your ext SD card.
4. Power on to Bootloader and flash the PH98 file. (To complete the process, it will reboot and continue)
5. When this is done, it should boot into the OS. Remove the PH98IMG file from the SD card by mounting in the OS.
6. Boot to bootloader and flash amon ra. (I used fastboot to flash the recovery.img file)
7. Just for kicks, run a backup in recovery.
8. Root the phone in recovery.
9. Boot the phone and turn on usb debugging.
10. Run S-OFF procedure. (make sure you are using the correct program for your device, GB or ICS)
11. Flash the Hboot version of your desire.(2.27 is current as of this date. Maybe try one of apophis9283's sweet new hex edited versions)
12. Flash recovery again.
13. Put your favorite ROM on your SD card and flash in recovery.
14. Enjoy!
I prefer safety measures, so I would run a system backup at this point again. Then restore your data through Titanium backup cloud or other method of your choice. I was provided a great deal of help and moral support from apophis9283 and I'd really like to thank him. If you have any questions feel free to ask. Most of the methods discussed are elsewhere on the forum. Some of the All-in-One toolkits might also be very helpful. The Roll-up sticky in the development thread should have all the links you need. Good luck.

Thinking but I can't seem to come up with any solutions right now, sorry
Your S-off, why don't you use the PG75IMG.zip of the twrp 2.2.2. Put it on the root of your external sd card and boot into the bootloader let it install. After it installs, you have to remove the file from your sd card or it will keep on installing everytime you enter the bootloader. Here is the link to download it:
http://techerrata.com/file/twrp2/jewel/PJ75IMG-twrp-2.2.2.0-jewel.zip
TWRP website: http://www.teamw.in/project/twrp2/98
Remember, you have to rename it to PJ175IMG.zip before you install it.
Glad someone had the link for the update zip, I only have the img
Thanks everyone. I'm up and running again on the EVO LTE. I did use the bootloader method to flash the .zip. I also now think my primary issue was self inflicted - I was using a 32gb micro SD card and I don't think the phone liked that. When I used one of my 8GB cards everything seemed to work like a champ.
Again, I want say thank you for the super fast responses and great knowledge provided - THANK YOU!!
So I tried to flash a rom and hit some problems, now when I try to restart my phone it gets stuck on the "verizon 4g lte" screen and wont load past there. When I open bootloader there are 3 warnings at the very top:
*** TAMPERED ***
*** RELOCKED ***
*** Security Warning ***
How can I get my phone back to stock? I need this IMMEDIATLY if possible!!
Also make it as simple as possible, I'm new to roms and roots and flashing.

as it was stated, you need to unlock your bootloader again. A recovery image is a image that we use to flash and wipe roms and the phone. Amon RA, TWRP and CW are the ones we can use for our phone. I personally use TWRP and Amon RA depending on my mood. You can find them here
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1425091
Towards the bottom of the list you will see recovery. You will need to flash one of those in order to flash a custom rom.
Also make sure to read the tutorials towards the bottom. before you start messing with your phone you should be familiar with everything. If you do something wrong and brick your phone, its hard to recover from if at all and you would have an expensive paper weight

Second, I don't know how to use these files and after reading the thread it still didn't help.

1. you need to download fastboot if you have not already. You can find that in the android sdk
2.) once fastboot is downloaded boot your phone into bootloader and select the fastboot option and plug your phone into your computer
3.) place the recovery image in the same directory as fastboot and use the command prompt (windows key +r then type cmd and hit enter)
4.) change directory to where fastboot is and run this command
fastboot flash recovery recovery.img
where recovery.img is the name of the recovery file that you downloaded

yeah no problem.
If you go back into the bootloader and select recovery, this will bring you into the Amon Ra.
Download a rom from the forums, I personally like Neo's Roms, Infection 2.8.1 is a good choice. But download any rom and put it on your SD card.
1.) select USB-MS toggle and then select on of the options
2.) copy downloaded rom to mounted sdcard
3.) once copied, hit the power button to unmount and then return to the main menu
4.)select wipe from the main menu and then do each one of these 3 times
Wipe All data/factory reset
Wipe /data
Wipe /cache
Wipe /Dalvik-cache
Wipe /system
then go back to main menu and then select Fash zip menu and select where you placed your rom and then flash...once its flash go back to main menu and select Developers menu and selet reboot bootloader
open the rom using a zip program and pull the boot.img from the rom and place it in your fastboot directory
once you are in the bootloader it should go to fastboot usb automatically and then run these commands
fastboot flash boot boot.img
fastboot reboot
it should reboot and load your rom

I have no idea why this isn't working
http://gyazo.com/2627f9963c95e7dc9a03cb118f139aac.png
I did your steps in order, but my phone has been stuck on rebooting... for over 15 minutes as you can see from the CMD. On my phone I just see the booting logo spinning.
I used this rom because I want jellybean: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2113140
Any ideas?
Also, what do I do with the MD5? I didn't use it.

the reboot step isnt 100% needed, its more for ease of use...just pull the battery and power on
Also did you flash the boot.img file?

Dont worry to much about the MD5,I havent used one if forever. Its basically just a security check to make sure that the file you downloaded didnt get corrupt. But with modern technology and internet, its less likely to mess up while downloading. Still possible, but not likely

It's still just sitting on the boot screen.
If you didn't see my edit, there is an md5 file I can download, but I didn't use it because I don't know what to do with it.

It sounds like you have a ph98img file on your sdcard. Remove the sdcard and Mount it in a PC and remove it. Then remount in the phone. Should allow to get into recovery and fastboot then

thanks for the help, before i got your message i got around the issue in a different way just trying a few things. I figured out the phone would boot into recovery with no sd card in it but i couldnt flash the rom again without it installed so i put the sd in partially and then held the battery against the contacts with out inserting it completely then booted into recovery, push the sd in the rest of the way and i was golden for there.
but i happy that someone knew wat it was on the sd card that was giving me the problem ive got that deleted now thanks for the help

That works too, probably not the best thing for the phone, but it works, glad i could point you in the right direction
So i was trying to factory clear my rezound to let a friend use it and ended up completely erasing everything, i had previously used Rezound_All-In-One_Kit_v3.2 to root it but never went s-off, ive relocked it but after hours of reading and googling i am completely stuck and humbly request some expert help.
my bootloader reads
tampered
relocked
vigor pvt ship s-on rl
hboot-2.28.0000
radio-2.23.10.0123r/2.23.10.0124r

Not an RUU, a ROM image, there is no RUU available for the current version of software (which according to your radios & hboot you have already) so now you need to flash a ROM with a custom recovery. You are probably getting the security/signature warning because you are not unlocked, you are relocked... You must be unlocked to flash a non-stock (signed) rom.
Make sure you have fastboot working (part of ADB or mini-ADB) and are unlocked
Download the current TWRP img file for Rezound here and place it in your "fastboot directory"
Download a ROM, for stock try this one by MicroMod777 and place it on your microSD card
Start the phone in hboot, and select fastboot, and connect the USB cable
On your PC, go to your fastboot directory and enter "fastboot boot openrecovery-twrp-2.7.1.1-vigor.img" and a green bar should appear in the display, followed shortly after by the TWRP recovery menu
Navigate to the Install/Flash section, find your rom ZIP file and install it
reboot and you should be good to go
i've got twrp successfully installed, but all i get when i try to flash the rom you recommended i get "error executing updater binary in zip". any thoughts?

Check the MD5 of the ZIP file, is it correct? You are browsing to the ZIP file and selecting it, correct? Is the any other error, something about emmc?
the zip was good and ive tried multiple roms, no emmc error, is there a way to s-off and flash a ruu maybe?

OK... Do you have working fastboot and access to a microSD card reader?
Download https://www.dropbox.com/s/pdttet253u4wgrw/CleanWIPE_1.0_-_10x_-Rezoundv2.zip
First, remove your SD card and put it in the reader connected to a Windows machine. Open My Computer and right click on the microSD drive, select Format, change File System to FAT32, and Allocation Unit Size to "Default", untick Quick Format and select Format... This will take some time. Then copy the untouched ROM and Gapps ZIP file and the CleanWIPE zip file to root (main) directory of the SD card. Use MD5 Calculator or something similar to verify the MD5 image on the SD card. Reinsert the SD card in the phone.
Make sure you have the TWRP recovery image file (openrecovery-twrp-2.7.1.1-vigor.img) in the same directory as fastboot and adb.
Start the phone into Hboot and select FASTBOOT, it should show FASTBOOT USB in red, then connect your PC and wait for it to connect. Start a CMD session and go to the fastboot directory, enter the command:
fastboot boot openrecovery-twrp-2.7.1.1-vigor.img
This will transfer TWRP to the phone and boot it, note that this is different than starting TWRP on the phone directly, it gives TWRP access to more stuff than normal.
Now select Wipes, Advanced, and tick everything except External Storage or MicroSD Storage and wipe it, then repeat this 3 times (note that Internal Storage may change names to emmc, this is normal). Watch for any errors... If there are none go back to the home menu.
Install/Flash the Cleanwipe ZIP, watch for errors.. When this is complete go back home and Install/Flash the ROM ZIP, if there are no errors go Home and Install Gapps, if still no errors reboot the device and disconnect the USB cable.
There is currently no way to S-Off the device without it being bootable.
