[Q] Updating EVO 3D to ICS? - HTC EVO 3D

Hey everyone, I'm having a lot of trouble updating my firmware. Last time I rooted was sometime last year and now when I use the regular system update, it does not complete the update.
I've downloaded the RUU and it does not work as well, I'm stuck on the black background HTC logo.
My HBOOT is 1.50 S-ON. Unlocked.
Any help would be grateful.

You must relock your hboot before flashing RUU. To do this use command:
fastboot oem lock
After that you can use RUU. Good luck!

You have to relock your bootloader before you can flash an RUU since you are S-ON.
Start your bootloader by removing/replacing the battery then hold VolumeDown+Power until the bootloader appears. Press the power button again to select fastboot, then connect it to a PC and the "fastboot" should change to "fastboot usb". Then issue the following commands from the directory with ADB and fastboot:
fastboot devices (make sure this command shows the serial # of your phone)
fastboot oem lock
The start the RUU.exe again from Windows and it should run this time.

Thanks guys. Now I'm guessing the phone is no rooted anymore? How do I root it once again? Its been a while

Follow ramjets quick and easy guide to gaining root. http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1889438 of course you can always stop at after you unlock your boot loader if you don't feel like gaining s-off with the wire trick. Same method as before though. HTC dev unlock method. However its more beneficial to gain s-off if you want to run ROMs like aosp ICS or jb that require you to downgrade your hboot. Having s-off will make that a snap.

I usually just root it to tether and I rarely use other ROMs. Which method do you think is best? THANKS

Then HTC dev unlock method is the solution sir.

Thanks, I will be trying this when I get off work.

Do I need root before trying to S-off?

I'm on 3.14 stock ruu, unlocked bootloader, amonra in the recovery
do I need to flash something like the "3.14 stock deodexxed root"
or can I just finally try to s-off?
thanks <3

the su binary MUST be present in the system for the S-OFF process to work correctly, so yes, you must root.
Since you have Amon ra installed, just boot into that, go to the developer menu and install the su binary, then do S-OFF

this is the most rediculous process ever! (currently trying to wire trick) I'VE USED 2 DARN TYPES OF WIRE AND A PAPERCLIP AND NONE OF THEM DO ANYTHING
oh god, whew... i was running around the house making a wire out of everything...
but after trying the paperclip for like the 8th time (which took a half hour to find) it seems to have worked
S-off is the most stressful android activity ever >XO
thanks you two <3
You did use the ics jb hboot right? Make sure you can see the sd card? And don't unlock your phone again. You would need to s-on then s-off again for it to say locked. I just woke up and saw your new posts, its been a long day but I see you got help. Welcome to the club, glad it finally worked.

I used the Hboot that came with 3.14 Ruu, if S-off took the "relocked" away then i'm happy, if it didn't, oh well, but I was unlocked when I started the process =o
As long as you don't unlock it after s-off, it will be locked again ( although it says "juopunutbear" instead of "locked" if you're using their modified boot. Just flash a stock one and it will say locked)
I'm still not to sure why people keep bringing up the Hboot, is it because if you flash S-off's it will break it?
I declined the modified version and everything appears to be working

The patched hboot adds some advanced fast boot commands. However everything will work without the patched hboot. You don't need it its just nice to have

The juoponut bear hboot is an eng hboot that allows for adb commands and other options most people will not need.
The h boot issue is thus......in the event you want your phone returned to stock (s on and locked in downloader), after gaining s off do NOT HTC unlock the phone.
If you don't unlock it and want to return to stock you basically run a ruu, and then write the secure flag back to s on (scotty123 has a thread how to do this). After which point you phone will be on stock Rom, recovery and h boot will say locked and s on. Just like the day you first got the phone.
If you unlock after s off (as an early adopter I did) your bootloader will only say unlocked or relocked. You can run ruus, and write secure flag to s on.....BUT your hboot will say relocked or unlocked. And to a trained eye, someone can tell you tampered with it (running Roma,etc)
In my case, I had to follow scottys thread, s on, and do the s off process all over again. Early on we thought flashing a ruu would change the hboot status from relocked to locked. However we were mistaken.
So, don't unlock after s off.
If you can't run adb commands with your h boot and don't want to flash an eng hboot, use the ph98img.zip method to flash things (ex recovery, hboots, radios).

Well everything is right but the first part, the modified hboot allows you to perform fastboot commands that would otherwise require you to unlock the bootloader

If you want to add the JB Hboot, it is very simple. You can go to their site and just download the most recent hboot. You must know if you are ICS or GB. But go here: http://unlimited.io/hboot-downloads/ and download the right one, either vigor ics or vigor gb. Put that in the folder where you had put the original controlbear program and follow these instructions:
To flash the JuopunutBear hboots
Put the phone in fastboot mode, connected to the pc and enter the following commands
fastboot erase cache
fastboot oem rebootRUU
fastboot flash zip jb_hboot.zip
Thats all there is to it and you can now benefit from the JB Hboot.
I thought you needed to be unlocked with htc dev to gain s-off? Now I'm hearing that I should not unlock my phone before I s-off?
Yes you need to be unlocked. It's part of the prerequisites. Please read then reread the thread in general "s-off with instructions...it's official". Understand how to avoid problems and fix them if they arise. It's very easy but it's like people half ass reading the instructions recently. Don't be that person.

HTC Sense 3.6
How do i get my phone to be:
Completely stock
Stock rom

Locked title in Hboot
fix the tampered title in hboot
Any help is much apreciated
Are you doing this to warranty it? It will say "relocked" when you are done. It hasn't been a problem for anyone in the past though, you should still be able to return it to Verizon.
Instructions on how to return to stock are here:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=38244272&postcount=10
You probably should use the latest official RUU (prior to the OTA they just rolled out a couple days ago) which is 3.14.605.12. The link I have is to an .exe file. You just connect your phone to your pc and then double click. It will take you through the steps.
Get it here:
http://androidfiles.org/ruu/?dir=Vigor
That will get you back to stock, unrooted and it will say "relocked".
There was a global leak that wasn't official. If you want to use that, get it here:
http://www.androidpolice.com/2012/0...ull-ruu-build-4-03-605-2-for-the-htc-rezound/
This is a zip file you put on your external sd card. Follow instructions in the first link I gave you.

Make sure to run this on a stock hboot or it will brick.
I am having a similar issue. I am rooted, I never relocked my bootloader, stock minus a few mods, but the ota update keeps failing. What do I need to do to be able to accept the update so it stops rebooting my phone?

[Q] Rez not flashing RUU

I just got a warranty replacement a few days ago. I unlocked it via HTC method and flashed a recovery and all is fine. Flashed a few ROMs and was happy. I decided that I wanted to get S-OFF again tho, and to do that i need to be back on the stock ROM. So i went to flash the latest Verizon ICS OTA's RUU in the bootloader and it see's the zip file, scans it and then just goes to the main bootloader menu and gives me no option to flash. I haven't tried the global RUU because i wasn't sure I can do the S-OFF exploit on the global RUU. Is this normal? I did accept the little OTA verizon is pushing out now and i didn't think that did anything to the bootloader but i wouldn't really know. I have used this exact zip to revert back to stock very recently prior to getting the replacement. It worked fine always, and I would just rename it and leave in in the SDs root directory.

In order to RUU you need to relock your device on HTCdev.com if you still have you unlock_cod.bin file you can skip going to HTC dev and put it in you Android folder you created back when you first unlock. S-off will not be lost nor do you need to S-On to flash the RUU.
make sure you have the SDK and HTC Sync installed. Go to fastboot in bootloader connect your USB cable so its says fastboot usb. Open a command window in the Android folder where you have adb fastboot files. Easiest way is shift right click open command window here. Once your device is connected just type in the command fastboot oem lock this will relock your device and you can now RUU. Once that is over you need to re unlock using the unlock code.bin file from HTC DEV and then flash amon ra recovery using the fastboot flash recovery(name).img and then you may install roms as you please. double check those commands although I am 90 percent positive they are correct commcands. The process I have described is corecct though as I just did this last night to update my radios. Good luck hope this helps
Also rename to the correct file name with the global RUU PH98IMG.img

For some reason I accidentally flashed Hboot 1.40, Lost S-OFF and reverted to S-On (Great job huh? D, I put the wrong SD card in with a previous version of Hboot,
At this point in time, I can only load the bootloader. I can't get to the 4ext recovery (Obviously). I'm "S-On"

Step 1 of the s-off guide is running RUU to get back to stock. did you try that?
1. USB connectivity problems will usually result in a "170" error and can be caused by driver or cable problems. To confirm that USB connectivity to your phone is good, put it into "fastboot usb" mode in the bootloader and issue the following command from a PC:
fastboot devices
You should get a response with the serial number of your device starting with "HT". If you don't get that you need to resolve the connectivity problem before flashing the RUU.exe.

Stuck in Fastboot, trying to return to Stock

Semi-noob here, would appreciate any help!
S-Off using revone, flashed CWM, and then ROM'd. Found an issue with the phone (wireless charger not working), so need to return to stock before bringing to Verizon. Used adb to S-On, and now, I am STUCK in Fastboot (or is it called Hboot?)!
None of the "options in Fastboot do anything (Bootloader, Reboot, Reboot Bootloader, Factory Reset). I can't get anywhere past Fastboot!
I think my problem was that I did not flash the stock ROM first, before S-on again. The phone no longer goes into Bootloader, so I don't know how to flash a ROM at this point.
Any help would be majorly appreciated! Thank you, oh wise ones...

The good news is, if you really are stuck in fastboot, you can still use adb/fastboot commands to get your phone working again. There is an important distinction between fastboot and hboot, though: fastboot is basically the bootloader's "debug" mode, while hboot is the regular bootloader mode. You won't be able to do much if your bootloader says "hboot" above the available options, but if it says "fastboot" or "fastboot usb" you're fine.
You should try to get s-off again (assuming you haven't relocked your bootloader) either via revone or facepalm, then flash a stock rom and proceed from there.
Clarification: if you have relocked your bootloader, unlock, then get s-off.
Used adb to S-On? Meaning what exactly? Did you lock beforehand?
I currently have S-on. I used revone's method to S-off.
I think the problem is that I have relocked the bootloader (phone shows LOCKED) with a custom ROM installed. I think I should have flashed a stock ROM before relocking. Would this have caused the problem I'm having?
I am not sure how to get S-off again, because I am stuck on the FASTBOOT. Selecting Bootloader/Reboot/Reboot Bootloader just returns me to the same screen. When I try to enter any line items (in Terminal), adb says there are no devices connected (this is probably due to the fact that my phone no longer boots to the homescreen). Any suggestions of how to get S-off again??
Thanks...
What method did you use for S-ON? There are guides here that lay out every step needed to return to stock.
Also when in fastboot, you need to use fastboot, not adb. Type in fastboot devices. Does your device ID show?
I would suggest trying to run the RUU. Although it may not work depending on HBOOT version and the fact you are now S-ON.
Can you boot into Recovery? If so, is there a ROM still on the phone? If so, try flashing it...

That's because you have unsigned boot.img and/or recovery and relocked the device.
You need to RUU or unlock again to boot to anything.

So, I've tried running RUU (this is the RUU file I'm using: RUU_DLX_WL_JB_45_VERIZON_WWE_1.15.605.4_Radio_1.00.00.1023_3_NV_VZW_1.98_002_release_290923_signed), but after it runs for a while (it says it is erasing data, then sending to the phone),
RUU says I am currently on 2.06, so is this the correct RUU file?
Another option for me, other than putting the phone back to stock, is for me to completely brick it. I tried unplugging and powering off the phone while RUU was running, but it still comes back to Fastboot. Suggestions?
Thanks again....

Just run the RUU. There is only one RUU. You are on 2.06, that's why it tells you that. Let the whole thing run.
You cannot downgrade via RUU. You need to unlock the phone, s-off it (facepalm should suffice) then you can RUU back to 1.15 if you choose.

I have the same problem. Since it was relocked, the htc dev site can't give the bin file to unlock it again. So I'm stuck in fastboot usb mode and I can't do anything about it. If only I can unlock it again, then I can move on from there.
