I was using Evolver 3D 2.5 ICS ROM when I noticed BiParanoid JB rom out there, so I tried the ROM...
Then I find the ROM not fully working for me so I tried to get back to KingCobra3D ICS ROM, and the problem was, every HTC rom didn't boot up although I flashed the boot.img via fastboot. I tried at least 5 ROMs doing that but all I get is stuck at boot. Then I try flashing any other rom like AOKP and BiParanoid and they all boot up. I am running EVO 3D GSM S-ON. Any help would be appriciated and sorry for my bad english.
Seems like there's a problem with AOKP rom's when you try to flash htc rom

I would recommend relocking the phone "fastboot oem lock" and running the appropriate ruu off the computer. This will get you back to a completely stock htc android. From there you can re do the unlock on htcdev and flash any rom you like.

I already put the PG86IMG.zip to my SD card, got in to bootloader, but it said this zip is wrong, although its for my region...
I tried running ruu too, but got stuck on instal...
So if I relock the phone its possible to get to stock?
Thank you for the reply

yes, if you're not S-off you have to relock your bootloader for the RUU to flash
Thank you, will try that out

Ok, so, connect your phone to the PC.
go into settings find "Enable USB Debugging" and turn it on.
On your computer, start command prompt(cmd) and navigate to the directory where your adb and fastboot are.
type "adb reboot bootloader" and wait for the phone to get into the bootloader
it should now say "fastboot USB"
in cmd type "fastboot oem lock"
your phone bootloader is now locked.
go to : http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1208485 and find the RUU you need
with the phone in fastboot run the RUU.
assuming you have the right RUU it should have worked and your phone should now be fully stock HTC
to do any other flashing you're going to need to re unlock you bootloader using the htcdev method (or at least your old Unlock_Token though you might need a new one)

I have a secondary Evo 3D on my account that recently took a crap. My friend that was using it took the OTA update and it caused it to be updated to 2.17 but also HBOOT 1.5. So from there I unlocked it via HTC unlock method and installed SupraROM. I don't know the exact details but the phone became stuck in an infinite reboot mode. I tried to do a wipe and install the latest MeanROM but when it would boot the battery indicator would show a red triangle with an exclamation point and reboot within 10 seconds. I swapped batteries with a working 3D so I know it's not the battery. I tried downloading a stock 2.17 rom PG86IMG but it won't recognize or install in bootloader or TWRP (I've tried multiple zips). In bootloader it still shows S-ON and then ***UNLOCKED*** in pink up top.
What would be the best way to recover this phone back to 100% stock? Is it bricked or can it be fixed?
You will have to re lock the bootloader first. From fastboot, type "fastboot oem lock"
After the bootloader is re locked, it will allow the PG86IMG.zip to update the phone

Oh man I hope its that simple. Thanks!
EDIT: Nevermind, delete.
The phone is recovered and back to stock! Thanks!
Could you go into more detail please!

I second this!
Can you go back to STOCK without having to plugin your phone to PC? because my device cannot be recognized!
If you're Hboot 1.50, you need the pc to recognize the phone to use fastboot.
You must use the fastboot command to enter custom recovery correctly to flash kernels/boot.img files that are part of ROMs.
(There is a way to use FlashImage app for the kernel beforehand if the phone will boot to the OS).
You must use the fastboot command to enter custom recovery correctly to format/restore a backup (or the kernel won't get loaded).
You must use the fastboot command to "relock" your phone.
You must "relock" your phone to run the stock RUU.exe's and stock RUU.zip's (PG86IMG.zip).
If you can't get the pc to recognize the phone, try a different PC and especially try SEVERAL usb cables as these tend to go bad.
Additional "Detail" info that may help is in the "guide" in my signature.

All, I am sorry I didn't search more, but I am desperate. I go on travel in a few hours.
Long story short, my phone stopped working with 3g, I spent 4-5 hours on phone with sprint trying to fix. THey want it back to the store. It was HTC unlocked with Fresh. I used fastoot to do fastboot OEM lock, the phone rebooted and goes back to the bootloader screen, I can't get it to go back to Android
It says Tampered, Relocked, security warning. Please. Any help. Can I RUU from fastboot?
Yes
As long as you have the boot loader locked you can run the RUU, you can find the RUU in Android Developement.
Hook the phone to your computer, open a command prompt and type "adb reboot recovery" make sure USB debugging is checked. That should get you into TWRP recovery, then go from there.

After relocking the bootloader, I can no longer enter recovery. RUU doesn't seem to want to run because my phone is not up and running (it is already at fastboot prompt). Can I just get it to recognize my phone in fastboot mode somehow?

As long as you have the proper drivers you should be able to run the RUU from fastboot. While in fastboot if you type 'fastboot devices' (without quotes) is your phone listed?

RUU is finally running now. Failed several times, and then just started working. I hope it works. Thank you everyone. Will post back
This happened to me as well. The only thing that I did that finally made it work, was to make sure that the path that I performed the fastboot oem lock command in was the path that contained the fastboot file.
When I did this, it would boot into my custom ROM and I was able to run the RUU without any problems.
When I would try to run the RUU from bootloader it would always tell me my battery was low, even though I was over 90%.
Happend to me too . I just ran ruu while in fastboot .

Hi, did a stupid thing and did the OTA update without reading the forum. The first update went through but after the 2nd big update, my phone is stuck at the white HTC screen. My phone is HTCdev unlocked and was on stock GB. My hboot version is
Unlocked
Vigor PUT Ship S-On RL
Hboot 2.11.0000
eMMC-boot
Oct 6 2011
I've looked through the forums for a solution and so far I taken the following steps
1) I have tried to reflash through the hboot using rezound_AndroidPolice_3.14.605.12_PH98IMG.zip, but it won't reflash. It goes through the loading processing but at the end I don't get the do you want to update promt. It just brings me back to the fastboot, recovery, factory reset etc menu
2) Then tried reflash to stock GB (http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1812084), that update worked I think since after the loading screen, it asked if I wanted to update and I clicked yes. But after that, still stuck at the white HTC screen
3) Did factory reset twice, once through hboot and then another time at the Recovery mode, still doesn't work
So now I'm completely lost in how to get my phone back to working state again. Any advice??
Thanks in advance.
Is your bootloader still unlocked? You can't take a stock rom with an unlocked bootloader. You have to relock it first.
If you can get to Fastboot, run "fastboot oem lock"

I have the Andriod SDK installed, so can you clarify what exactly do I right click and also how can I check if I do have the stock recovery flashed?
I've figured out how to use fastboot, but when I connect by phone to my computer and run the lock command, it says its waiting for the device to connect. Any suggestions?
it means your PC did not recognise the phone in fastboot. install htc drivers (through HTC sync), connect phone to PC, reboot to bootloader and select fastboot. you can see it changes to fastboot usb
I'm on the same boat, but my phone was completely stock when I took the OTA.
I used this link to unlock my phone. You can use it as reference to relock it

I wanted to un-root so I can get the newest updates from Sprint (Jellybean Pre-Release, bug fixes, and the actual Jellybean itself
I ran MeanROM 4.6 and I relocked it. Now, I am stuck on the bootloader screen and I ran the RUU. When i ran the RUU, it had an error that said the phone can't be found. I was on Windows 8, but saw that it doesn't work yet on there, so I went to my Vista computer and it doesn't work either.
I have no ROMs on it at the moment, even the stock one, so yeah, I am stuck on bootloader. Can anyone help me un-root?
You have to relock the bootloader so the RUU can recognize it.
I had the same problem and once I relocled the bootloader everything ran fine.

First off, make sure you downloaded the correct RUU for your hboot. Then do this in fasboot mode:
RUU your device (with your phone in fastboot):*
fastboot erase cache
fastboot oem rebootRUU
fastboot flash zip RUU.zip
You have to have your phone in fastboot mode in the bootloader and you must have the ruu and fastboot.exe in the same directory on your computer.

there is no Jellybean RUU. There is supposed to be an OTA update very soon to 4.1.1, and from my knowledge, Sprint released and OTA for a pre-jellybean release. They're going very slow with the OTA updates though of what I heard so far because iPhone users are killing the towers for some reason. Jellybean was supposed to be released on the 27th.

Why thank you. I'll keep that in mind next time I do something stupid with my phone. Its in the hands of my friend (xda: mibikin) who owns a One X and is willing to fix my phone.
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.

Run Moonshine.
If that fails, RUU to stock.
You didn't happen to make an unlock_code.bin with htc did you?
No, i didn't. Not even sure what that is...haha...
I'm going to run RUU, and hope that works! Thanks for everyones input...
still no luck! =T
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.
