Long story short, had a party at my house. The phone was stolen and wiped, OS entact, then sold on craigslist. Whoever bought it on craigslist, soft bricked it. Returned it to the seller who then found out it was mine and returned it. It was retrieved by my sister and was returned to me with the Splash Screen on with the red HTC developer warning at the bottom. Good news, phone is back. Bad news, its soft bricked.
So i go through a few of my options.
1) Recover a NANDROID
Internal SD completely wiped and External is missing
2) Load a NANDROID that I had saved on the computer onto a buddies external SD and recover
Loads to Splash Screen, goes to blank and returns to splash infinitely
3) Try the new DirtyRacun S-OFF
Cannot move past Step 13 because of symptom from #2 above. So now Im thinking that this may be because this method puts the original RUU on the device. I had CM on it at the time, which was flashed using Flash GUI, Im assuming the CM Kernal is still on the device and the Stock RUU wont match with the CM Kernal.
4) Flash CM
Same symptom as #2
At this point all I can do is ask the masters on the XDA forums (all you guys). The forums have totally helped me in the past but this is my first post. So, Im not to a noob to rooting and its involved processes, but, by no means am I an expert. Any kind of help would be greatly appreciated. Some other things that may help are this I have a feeling that the Internal SD may be unmounted but Im not sure. I am unlocked and S-ON I was running a recent nightly CM flashed using Flash GUI. My recovery is TWRP 2.2. Also, Ive tried to search for soultions on the forums but havent found anything similar to my particular situation. If i could get a reference to different post that would be awesome too.
might try the recovery tool from original dev section
it was looking like a good resource for soft bricked phones.
since there's the racun s-off now you could maybe dev-re-lock and do the official ruu to 2.13 just to get to complete stock and a working phone
Also could try flashing stock pj75img from bootloader and starting fresh. I had to do this once when my system partition corrupted on me somehow and it saved my butt. It will overwrite anything left on your phone, kernel included.

what would that involve. i only know how to flash stuff from recovery. how would you do it from the bootloader.?
If you are on 1.12 bootloader use this link to dl, rename file to pj75img.zip only, place on an external sdcard and reboot to bootloader. Bootloader will automatically find the pj75img.zip and ask if you want to update, follow directions from there (it could take a bit and will reboot a few times and even look like it's doing the same thing over again) let it do its thing reboot and voila... Back to working stock.. If you are on a newer bootloader you will have to search for pj75img.zip that matches your loader (1.15 or 1.19) I'm at work or I'd look for the others.. Good luck bud, hope it helps..

That's what I thought to, but it's all I could find on un brick.. It sounds like u have similar symptoms as I did.. The pj75img.zip did the trick for me.. It's not nearly as involved as an unbricker would be and the phone virtually does it itself... What bootloader were u on??

So this morning I decided to update my firmware from the PJ75IMG.zip. I booted back to and while I was in the bootload a factor reset was done by accident. Now my operating system is now erased. S-off'ed with lazy panda. Also, i have no backup because my Vista crashed a week ago. Sprint will replace my phone, but is there any possibility of unbricking now?

Can you get into recovery?
Im guessing people dont understand the term bricked.....
Bricked- A device state in which you can NOT get to bootloader, Recovery or standard installed OS.

If you are referencing my post, the op did not provide many details to determine if he is really "bricked" or not.

Sorry to hear that. I believe you're gonna need a pc to try to do anything towards fixing it. Try an RUU. You can always get a replacement before they start giving out refurbs.

If you can access recovery you can flash a rom. Your other option would be to run the ruu. You will never get your data back though.

RUU isa ROM Update Utility. I believe this is the ClockworkMod Recovery software. It's been a long time since I gained root on my Legend, so I really cannot remember exactly how I did it. I think there is something in ClockworkMod that can give you temporary root, and you should then be able to boot and flash with a rooted image.
Sorry that's vague. Nowadays, I just drop an image on the SD card, and run the ROM Update routine. Effectively, ClockworkMod sits on my SD card too, as a file called Update.zip, and I run that from the HTC boot menu. That then lets me pick any other image I want to flash the phone.
Someone else might be able to fill in any gaps.

My bad...the RUU they refer to is nothing to do with ClockworkMod. That may come later. The RUU is explained on the HTCdev page. It is just a suitable ROM for updating the HBOOT. That said, if you could install the older Cyanogenmod, I don't understand why not this one.
Simple answer is, the phone is already rooted, so the ruu from Htcdev cannot be used to unlock the bootloader.
In this case, the only solution is to follow the solution provided by blay0, I dont have the link to the actual post, maybe you could go read some of the many other threads regarding the topic, you may even learn something you don't know.

I laways format boot, system, data, cache and sd-ext before I flash, so i don't think that's the problem. But yes, the phone is rooted. I'll check the solution out by blay0.
im a little confused with the posts in this thread but i seem to have the same problem with all the jellybin roms including cm10.1 alpha3.im getting suck at boot screen.im guessing it may be because my htc legend is s-so or because i haven't partitioned my sd card.
if i have topartition my sd or make it s-off can you please give me a guide or something.

So what does that mean you can't flash a recovery? Did you try running the RUU?
I'm pretty sure what I pushed was an ruu it said all kinds of stuff was installing it was an 2.0.6 maybe it wasn't an ruubut just the update but every time I try to use adb it won't find the device
Sent from my HTC6435LVW using xda app-developers app
So you know I can wipe the entire device including formatting the recovery, boot, system whatever doesn't matter as long as hboot is in place. As long as I can boot hboot I can recover it as well. Its difficult to trash the device as long as hboot works. Most of these problems are related to the drivers not being installed properly. Most users say they already know this but I'm gonna say it anyway fastboot and adb use different drivers.

An RUU is a windows .exe that you well run from windows. It will restore the device to factory but you wont loose S-Off. Once S-Off always S-off.

If you have windows try the 1.15 RUU from this thread.
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2293919
But you need to check your drivers and make sure you have the correct on loaded in Hboot or it wont work. You may also need to flash the ENG-Hboot before you can restore with the RUU. I don't have a windows machine here so I can't tell you exactly what the driver is but I think its something like composite fastboot device or something (when in hboot).

Hello guys,
I do realize there are tons and tons of threads of this topic, but I still decided to make a new one. That is mostly because the other ones are like 1,5+ year old, and most of them have comments of people that managed to get into bootloops, bricked their phones or whatever it is called (also happened to me).
I'm a total noob at rooting and doing stuff to my phone. I have only rooted it back in 2012, march. I put some "cool ics" or something like that on it, and now, I've decided to change to something new, better. But as I've seen I'll have to downgrade it, I tryed, but I got into a bootloop. So now I'm scared to do anything (I did fix it tho). Could you guys explain, or atleast post links to WORKING tutorials, please?
My hboot version is 1.53.0007, S-ON. The bootloader is unlocked. I have 4ext recovery, and I don't think it's rooted by revolutionary method (if that even tells anything).
So if you tell me to put some other recovery stuff on it, please also tell how to delete this 4ext thingy. xD
Thank you in advance, iShovel out

Thank you very much! But it says it will put the phone on version 1.49.9999. Can I put that PACMan thingy on, if it's on 1.49.9999? I mean, I've been thinking about the PACMan, but I honestly really don't know which one to choose, since there are so many. Any suggestions? I've been looking for something that speeds up the phone, doesn't need 3D camera, and is generally good...
Don't know about pacman haven't tried it... I'm using CM 10.2 from Johnnyslt and it's awsome for me...
About your HBoot, look at the first link I gave U, there is another step in which U flash and get 1.43.0007

I do have a question - if I want to install this Leedroid GB ROM, and I already have cool ics, do I have to uninstall it first to put the other rom on? And if yes, how do I do that?

First of all, make sure that is based on htc sense rom then copy the rom in your sd card, else the phone go in bootloop.
I guess you already have 4EXT recovery, so go in bootloader mode (Volume down+PowerOn. It's a white screen) and enter in the recovery.
Make sure you have the smartflash feature enabled. Go in tools and enable it.
Make a nandroid backup (it's a full backup)
Wipe cache and all that the developer say in the rom thread.
Now you have to install the new rom Install from sdcard, find the zip and install it
Thank you
But once again, the noob I am, I managed to screw something up. I'm now at steps 10-11. At first, when I ran that controlbear.exe as administrator, it got stuck saying something like "setling your device...please wait..." (it didn't say exactly that, but I forgot what it said). I rebooted phone, tryed steps 7-10 again, and now it's stuck on "searching device" in command prompt -.-' Any ideas whats wrong?
And I feel so bad right now, since I can't do anything correct...not once...
EDIT: TRYED RUNNING CONTROLBEAR ONCE MORE, IT WORKS NOW!! it tells me to do the wire trick! ok guys, now wish me luck, because if I screw this up, then...
Let us know!
Well...I've, done the wire trick, but when I turned on my phone, there was just black screen with "JuopunutBear" text on it, and a green arrow + phone. So I said to myself, it's probably ok, that I just need a rom. So i installed PACman rom + gapps, and there is still this black screen with "JuopunutBear" text on it....what do I do now?
Connect the phone and execute controlbear once more, it woked for me, forgot to say because it doesn't say in directions

It says:
blah

Found backups!
Device S-OFF already!
Quit.....
Press enter to quit....
And nothing happens, still on the black screen with "JuopunutBear" :/
OK, now go to hboot and see if your hboot is changed, then go to recovery, wipe everything except SD card, flash cm10 and gapps

It is on S-OFF, 1.49.9999, I wiped, I installed PACman & gapps, and I'm back at black screen of JuopunutBear
Ahh these ****ty instructions lol, try this: remove battery, remove SD card and then turn on the device and see if it will start normally
Sent from my Evo 3D GSM using xda app-developers app
It does not - the god damn JoupunutBear still shows up.
Wait, after wire trick did u flash hboot 1.49.007? It will remove joupunut bear logo and hboot 1.49.999

Ooooooh, that might have been the problem, yes. xD I thought I read that you can flash PACman with 1.49.9999...So is there like another guide to get to 1.49.0007?
No need for another guide, just find and flash zip file with hboot 1.49.007, I flashed it myself hoping that this would remove controlbear image and propperly boot the phone and it did, after that flash cm10 and gapps, don't forget to wipe before flashing ROM...

And once again, there's a ****load of different methods and stuff to get to 1.49.0007. Do you think http://htcevohacks.com/htc-evo-3d-hacks/how-to-downgrade-to-hboot-1-49-0007-on-htc-evo-3d-gsm/ will work? If not, could you please paste something that will actually work? I've already bricked my phone once trying to do that thing...
Yep I checked, hboot 1.49.007 is installed, find it and flash

First off thanks for looking & any help is appreciated. Second I searched & got Search feature is temporarily unavailable. So I did search the first 5 pages by Ctrl + F.
Nothing was quite what I have going on. Mea culpa this was all my fault. I read read read & couldn't sort it out & I went ahead anyways. Now things are starting to make sense to me. But I bricked it already. I think it is soft bricked but I was so stupid & hasty I might have hard bricked.
I went here XDA, AF, Google & willy nilly everywhere. The only thing I did right was unlocking the bootloader at HTCdev. This is so stupid & flailing away, I can't recount all the things I did.
I have hboot 1.58.0000, S-ON, ICS 4.03, no root, no nandroid & no .img on sdcard. As far as I can relate what I did, I was just flailing away. I flashed recovery-clockwork-5.0.2.0-shooter.img without rooting first. I don't think I was successful next at installing or maybe flashing RootingSuperuser.v.3.0.7.zip. I just threw files & flashes at my poor defenseless Evo 3D without understanding. Involved also were files such as fastboot.exe, a lot of CMD prompts entering commands after commands.
So I'm at the HTC white for a minute or so. Then it turns off & then after approx 30 seconds it turns back on & repeats over & over. I can get into FASTBOOT. But going into the next option BOOTLOADER throws it into bootlooping.
So my Evo 3D was innocent & through my ignorance I killed it! Please can it be saved? Will you help this soul who was frustrated, confused & foolishly proceeded?
Thank you XDA.
I tried a RUU at the kind suggestion of a mod over at AF. Here's the error I received.
ERROR [155]: UNKNOWN ERROR
The ROM Update Utility cannot update your Android phone.
Please get the correct ROM Update Utility and try again.
I believe I have version 2.95.651.5. And this RUU is version 2.89.651.2. Could this be a problem?
There is no ruu for hboot 1.58
Sounds like you still need to flash a recovery. Then you can flash a sense based rom.

Actually it sounds like you have a recovery, and need to flash a ROM.
Put a sense based ROM on your SD
Wipe all partitions except SD card
Flash ROM
Reboot

Heard TWRP Recovery is the best for Evo 3D. But is that even possible as I'm NOT rooted & in a loop?
If so how? Thanks.

I think trying to flash CWM recovery. But I was confused. Should have stepped away from the computer/phone/etc & tackled another day.
It's not bricked. You just don't have a bootable rom if you get to the bios (HTC splash screen) all you need is to get a recovery and flash something. Had you bricked it you wouldn't be able to turn the thing on.
