Hi everyone!
Here is a situation.
I have two Evo 3D, both with same problem. They reboots after HTC logo.
It happened after OTA update to ICS 4.0.4.
All processess has passed fine until reboot.
So now i have two Evo with HBOOT 1.58, S-ON, UNLOCKED bootloader and bootloop.
Ready to listen any ideas or suggestions. Maybe someone know solution...?
P.S. I has try to flash device with PG86IMG.zip with different versions, 1.13, 2.17 and 2.89.
With 1.13 i get error. Firmware is older than installed in device, and get back me to menu.
With 2.17 after pass checking of zip file again i'm in main menu.
2.89 pass all checks and flash fine until reboot... then reboot forever (((
I think downgrade bootloader would help, but how?
Because here is a problem... i can't turn on device.
Thank you!
I just want to get this cleared. Did you say that your phone reboots in the middle of you flashing an ruu? It shouldn't be doing that in bootloader. Well in any case if what you are saying is true then your phone just became a very expensive paper weight. Your bootloader got corrupted when it rebooted during the flash. And your cannot turn on? Have you tried pulling the battery out and placing back in and seeing if you can get into bootloader? I don't know what you did but your phone should not been rebooting in bootloader or recovery mode. There was a guide that could've saved your phone but seeing how if you cannot turn it on in bootloader, there isn't anything anybody can do.
I hope you will have luck to get into bootloader because it will be sad to say EVO 3D died :/
But when the bootloader is coruppted then like JSparta says.....It will be just an expensive paper holder :/
Did u succeed?

Ok guys, so I attempted to unroot my phone and return to s-on because I have to take it in to Sprint, but the thing is, I'm pretty sure I bricked it. I got the stock RUU installed and turned S-ON, but now it's stuck on the htc screen. So, here's the thing, I was wondering, is there a way to get S-OFF from HBOOT or Fastboot? If so, I think I may be able to fix this thing, if not, ****.
Well if your phone is S-ON and has the stock RUU installed... Whats the problem?
Edit: I mean if you're taking it to Sprint...

If it turns on then it may be fixable. Unfortunately I do not know how. I tried to unroot mine and totally bricked it where it would not even turn on.
Motorola Atrix 4G User Sharing some love
1)Download the RUU here:
http://www.multiupload.com/2QWMDPG2M8
2)Rename the file to PG86IMG
2)Copy to the root of your sd card
3)Boot into bootloader by pulling battery and holding power+volume down until you see bootloader.
4)Bootloader will scan for PG86IMG
5)Click power button to select install for the file
6)Bootloader will now install
7)Tell your EVO 3D to reboot
Dude! I had tried that before and I don't know what is different about that, but it worked! I think your RUU may have been better than the one I got originally. Thanks!
Well I got myself into a real pickle here. I was trying to get the newer OTA with my unlocked rooted 3D I tried everything I have here on how to do it but now my phone just reboots itself after it get to the sprint screen sometimes it does make it to where is show the info bar at the top with the time but reboots soon after. I have tried a stock recovery and a new OTA RUU using hboot and the PG86IMG.IMG which did install at hboot but I still have the same issues. Any ideas on how to at least get back to normal?

What hboot are you ? Also what software are you on 2.08 ? You are CDMA I am guessing? If all else fails man boot into your recovery and wipe just not your SD card and go back to hboot relock your phone and use the latest 2.17 ruu exe.. Works every time and then root again and your set... This info is for CDMA only Not GSM>>>
THanks reaper. I was on hboot 1.5 and CDMA sorry for not stating. I ended up just taking it back to sprint and they gave me a new phone which I am actually happy about because of a few blemishes I had on the phone. I think I will wait till after ICS and see if they can get it rooted. I really only want the ability to wireless tether.
Again thanks for the reply
Hello,
Right, I am aware that I've probably made a huge mistake, but I thought, "hey, warranty void because of my screen, why not?", but I have searched and searched and was up until three this morning trying to find a solution, but I only kept getting confused (bare in mind I'm only sixteen).
I rooted my phone using the HTCDev method, and flashed the LoLic Sense ROM, it worked and I turned my phone back on and it got stuck on the bootscreen. So, I downloaded the RUU and tried to go back to stock, and it kept failing. I even tried the PG86IMG.zip and even that didn't work. So, I downgraded to the LEEDroid ROM that came with the revolutionary package I'd used before the official update to ICS, and now I can't even get past the initial HTC screen.
Please can anybody help me get back to stock on my phone? I've managed it before, but this time I keep seeming to come up short.
Thank you
EDIT:
I'm on HBOOT 1.53.0007 - after updating to the official ICS.
I've tried downgrading using the Gingerbread RUU and it won't install on the phone. I can't S-OFF using the wire trick because I'm afraid to break it even more.
I've tried flashing the rooted GB zip in clockworkmod and it says its installed, but I can't turn the phone on and it only gets to the first white HTC screen and then turns itself off.
I'm terrified that I may have broken my only phone and I don't know what to do, please can somebody help me?
If you are S-ON HTC Dev unlocked you need 4ext with smartflash or fastboot flash boot boot.img to install the kernel.
how does this happen? solutions? im also not able to flash an ruu for some reason...stumped and have been working on this for an hour or so

Tampered is normal. Did you try flashing it with a ph98img, or as an .exe
It happens after you unlock and install a custom recovery I believe. Are you re-locked when you try to ruu?

Yeah make sure your bootloader is relocked
i was in the middle of doing s-off when the phone froze and corrupted the mem card...so i tried redoing the whole process over and i havent been able to get past the hboot...im still unlocked and have access to recovery and hboot but i cant flash a rom and boot into it...i cant run an ruu but the phone is not technically bricked...its an odd predicament...i just flashed a rom and i still cant get it to get past the hboot
Have you tried re-locking the bootloader and then run the ruu?

just run the latest ruu in hboot if you are s-off it will make the phone like it was from factory.
if you are s-on but unlocked you will need to do the "fastboot oem lock" then runn the ruu.
in both cases the ruu will nuke the internal storage. first pass with install a new hboot and stock recovery along with 2 other items, then the phone will reboot into fastboot and install the rest. i recommend that you have a 60% or more battery life.

Yeah I already got it up n running...between being unlocked and having a slightly dead battery I wasn't even being given the option to run an ruu...its running now but I still need to do s-off again, and of course my sd card is corrupted so ill work on that tonight
The same thing happened to me, glad I found your thread! Were you trying to s-off on the official ICS? That's what I was trying. I ran the .12 RUU and had unlocked, rooted and was trying to get S-off. I did the wire trick I was getting an HTC logo instead of Jbear logo. Right now I just relocked and it's running the RUU so I hope I can get back up and running.
I guess I should have just S-offed before running the ICS RUU
Edit: I am back up and running!

Hey, I didn't have to do this, but if you noticed, controlbear makes backup copies of stuff like boot.img (forget what else) and puts them on your computer. If you crap out you ought to be able to fastboot flash boot [bootimgfilename.img] and be able to boot up your phone. I saw where one person did this to get going again after a failed soff.
Yeah well happened in my case is that I was already s-offed and then I flashed the ruu to go back to stock...then I relocked my phone cuz I'm having an issue with one of the pins on phone (the terminal that connects to battery).so I was gonna get it exchanged, I wanted it to look absolutely stock...so the "relocked" status wasn't good enough, so someone suggested doing s-off again so it will show locked in hboot...well that's where everything went wrong, the phone froze at the wire trick and then the entire memory card was corrupted which is normal...so when I went to redo the whole s-off procedure again I kept rebooting into the blank screen with the arrow...could not get past that, so I resorted to putting my real sd card in...I had no backups for that card cuz that one has my actual personal stuff so I figures it'd be ok since I used a spare to do s-off anyway...well upon powering on the phone it was also corrupted...so Ive actually given up on s-off and getting my phone restored and replaced for a while...I don't know why s-off has always given me problems I've watched and read every vid or post about s-off and am in no way tech illiterate but I've always had problems with s-off (i lost all my pics and documents the first time I did s-off even thought I backed everything up cuz the only way to get it right was to eliminate every file in the folder and rerun it again cuz it didn't back up my sd correctly If at all)...its beyond infuriating
well that didnt last long...i just unlocked and s-offed my phone again, only to be returned to s-on and fully locked (indistinguishable from brand new in box), as i originally intended...im gonna miss this particular phone but it has to be done
so my wife got a replacement evo being hers had a few. issues. came with 1.50 hboot. i did the downgrade method to 1.40 phone constantly reboots or bootloops at times. i figured well maybe was a firmware issue. so when sprints firmware leaked. i updated it all even bootloader. its now 1.58 hboot. shows locked but s-off. i still have 4ext recovery installed on it. i have tried to flash the stock rooted rom. the phone boots after sits idle for a litle while it will go into boot loops. im at my wits end here. thinking it maybe hardware now. want others opinions. before i flash stock non rooted and bring it in for service. any thought?
You could try to unroot and go back to stock to see if the bootloops stop.
Man i love FrootLoops.. oops.. crap, i read the title wrong..
ON a serious note, do what coal686 said, go back to factory stock and start from scratch. Take out as many of the variables as possible.
so how do you suggest i do that? there is no ruu for the new ota update. im on newhboot. so im lost as to how to attempt to relock to stock for service.
so i ran the pg86img for 2.17 everything down graded fine. then rat the ota update to ics. updated to ics 2.89 fine. weird thing is it still shows s-off. only thing so far sense has froze on her twice. but the reboots have stopped. waiting a day to make sure. then ill unlock if i need to.then stock rooted for her.

You don't need to unlock as s-off is better.
