Hello,
Been going through the threads related to this topic. Phone Specs:
BOOT 1.49.11
Unlocked
S-ON
Shooter-S
Revolution CM Recovery
I tried to update from zip but phone said wrong zipped image. I did a full backup using CM and then tried to flash radio but it failed. I did recover but phone screen goes black and loops. I downloaded YODAS Deoxed and cool ICE and flashed using ZIP. Did wipe/clear cache but now phone is stuck on htc logo.
I did extract boot.img and flash using fastboot and flashed zip back but without success.
Can anyone please advise regarding this issue?
Thank You
Hello fellow EVO 3d user, I read your post and I think I can help shed some light on your predicement. It sounds like your radios are not compatible with yoda and cool sense. Also you tried to flash the update firmware and failed. It's because your s-on and your bootloader is unlocked. To flash radios you will need the correct ones for the gsm EVO 3d . You will more than likely have to flash an ruu file for your region and carrier. If your unbranded just go ahead and use the European one. First you will need to relock your bootloader in fastboot command. Fastboot oem lock. Here's a list of ruu's. Im cdma but I will try to help you http://www.filefactory.com/f/4ef0ef536face67a/. Now once you.find the appropriate file. Place it on your pc and hook your phone up in fastboot. next run the ruu exe. If everything succeeds you will be on hboot 1.53 with the latest radios. At this point just unlock your bootloader and you should be able to run yoda or cool sense. Use 4ext recovery instead of cwm. It's the best recovery. Goodluck.

Thanks for your reply... I used leedroid and was able to boot the phone finally. Problem is I cannot access wifi and I want to return to original gingerbread version. what would you advise? same thing, get RUU from the link you gave?
Will phone be S-On after RUU'ing phone?
Besides if i wanted to upgrade to ICS at this point? what would you advise my friend?
the problem is actually your firmware. Leedroid uses the old firmware whereas the newer roms use the latest firmware.
you should do what Jsparta26 suggests. Run an ICS RUU from the link and you'll have ICS with latest firmware,hboot and radio. You will have to unlock it using a new code after that if you want to flash recovery/roms
And yes you will be S-on after unlocking. for s-off you'll need to do the wire trick.
Just a heads up, if you want to s-off in the future you'll have to do the wire trick. If you want to use the downgrade method then dont update to ICS with a RUU just yet. After your hboot gets updated to 1.53 wire trick is your ONLY option of s-off

hey forum
i really need some help now. i have a gsm evo 3d unlocked up and running a custom rom (nonsense). now i want to return to stock, ive tried flashing the ruu for several times, but each time it says bootloader version error. so i guessed that i have to downgrade my hboot version from 1.53.0007 to something 1.49.007 or similiar. i just cant get it to work, neither with flashmaniacs way, or the manual way. in bootloader when loading the PG86IMG ist says version older update fail.each time i fail i reunlock the bootloader, so atleast i can use my phone. the worst and most foolish part of me: no nandroid backup. so i recognize my fault.
Do you have the newest ruu.exe for your region/carrier? Once you get it, boot into bootloader, connect to computer (should say fastboot usb), lock bootloader, then run ruu. That should put you at stock.
Test shooter u ruu for ics?

yes i relocked my bootloader each time i tried to flash. thanks alot! ive been looking for a ICS ruu for quite some while, gonna download it and try it out. hope itll work out fine.
the ones i downloaded from the filefactory link somehow didnt work, dont know why.
i really appreciate your help, thanks guys
it worked, im back to stock, so it was the old ruu which created problems. thanks
I bought Evo which was already upgraded to ICS (OTA I assume), and it was branded I think. I've unlocked it via HTCDev, flashed '4ext touch recovery' and then rooted. Then I flashed MIUI ICS ROM, and everything is OK for now.
I want to use BootManager to flash multiple ROMs. It requires s-off. I tried it already with s-on, because I've read that SmartFlash (from 4ext recovery) makes my phone like s-off, so ROM on SD card installed, but won't boot. I had many problems going back to my Phone ROM, I restored my backup, wiped many times, installed fresh ROM and still had a bootloop. Finally I got it working again by flashing boot.img via fastboot (glad I did nandroid backup before). I didn't try again with different ROM, because after 2 hours of trying to recover my base ROM I've had enough. So I'm pretty sure BootManager will work better if my phone will be s-off.
So my question is - what to do next? We have so many guides and different comments here, sometimes the same method works for one, and doesn't work for another one, and I'm really confused.
I assume I should follow the instructions here http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1743466 but I don't understand few things:
friend.evil said:
flash an ICS ROM from recovery(Method B from 10 to 14)
open ICS ROM.zip and extract boot.img to a folder which contains adb, fastboot and AdbWinApi.dll
go to fastboot and type:
fastboot flash boot boot.img
fastboot reboot
Click to expand...
Click to collapse
Do I have to do this if I'm already have MIUI with root privileges? Do I still need that boot.img from MIUI, and put it together with fastboot.exe?
Or should I restore stock ICS? I'm pretty sure I did nandroid backup before flashing MIUI.

Thanks in advance for any tip.
You're confusing yourself, What you need to do my friend is.
1. Download RUU, Run RUU
2. HTC Unlock bootloader again
3. Do the Juopunutbear Wiretrick to get s-off
4. Download the 1.04 ENG hboot (There is one of those for the GSM I think... not sure though)
5. Flash a badass Android 4.2.1 rom. They work.
There's much more detailed guides on what to do, BUT This is a summary of what you want.
Be sure to hit thanks [= I'm almost to 100
Which RUU should I search for? GB or ICS?
But isn't the 1+2 the same as restoring my ICS Stock ROM from backup?
I think hboot 1.49.0007 would be enough, I've read that BootManager works well with that version.
1. Yes you can just restore your stock ics backup BUT you will have to root it using the file provided in method B.
2. Yes the 1.49.0007 hboot is best for gsm
3. You can flash a GB rom with your hboot no problem. It just dont think it will boot. so technically you should be able to do the wire trick with a GB rom flashed(not booted into). You'll be in fastboot mode for the wiretrick. There are different files for GB and ICS when doing the wiretrick
Your best bet is to run an ICS RUU, unlock bootloader, root rom, do the wire trick, change hboot to 1.49.0007 and then flash any rom you want
Backup was made right after I made root, is it enough? I just don't want to go through the entire process from the beginning (unlocking, rooting etc).

That should work But unlocking again is really easy
You should still have you unlock token in the same place,
You just plug up to the computer hop into fastboot usb and type
Fastboot flash unlocktoken Unlock_Code.bin
to unlock and then
fastboot flash recovery recovery.img
for a recovery,
Then move SU to your sd card and flash it in recovery.
Then your all ready for the wire trick, The more you do these things the more experience you get at them and the better you get with fastboot. I suggest you go through the process opposed to just restoring (First off it's much much safer) and you'll know the ropes if you (or anyone else) has this problem.
Maybe you're right. I'll try with RUU. But I see it's hard to find the correct one these days, some old links died. I have a file called "RUU_SHOOTER_U_ICS_35_S_HTC_Europe_3.28.401.1_Radio_11.77.3504.00U_11.25.3504.06_M_release_262714_signed" which I have downloaded right before I started unlocking my Evo, could it be the correct one?
I didn't know I can use old "unlock_code.bin", I saw that everytime I read the token from the device, it was different. So I assumed that I have to flash bin that match the token.

The token and the unlock code are specific to the phone, And doesn't change until you get a new phone.
And that seems to be the right one, Do you live in Europe? lol Shooter u means GSM and ICS means it's the latest RUU.

I know I use shooter_u, I asked because I've found another RUU which have "Rogers_WWE" in name of the file, and the rest of the file name is identical, and I remember that I had to choose "rogers" when I was unlocking via htcdev. That's why I wasn't 100% sure if I had to choose "HTC_Europe" or "Rogers_WWE".

Should I do this or start directly with RUU.exe? My phone is currently "UNLOCKED, hboot 1.53.0007, s-on".
And what about CID? I've read somewhere that I have to change to supercid or something, to be able to flash zips via fastboot. How to check my current CID?
Search for cid getter on play store to get your cid
You certainly need to relock you hboot before running RUU. For the correct ruu you should check the box that your phone came in. It should have the details (atleast i think so)
P.S. you probably don't need to change cid. Infact i'd recommend you not to do that just yet
Got the CID, it's HTC__032. I want to be prepared, who knows what might come up during the whole process.

Cant kive without my evis comments about the wire trick are bang on. It will fix everything. Having s-off is just much easier so do the wire trick. It will work. My wife and I both have an evo. I had to do the wire trick twice on hers for it to work and four times on mine for it to work. Be patient if it fails the first few times. And if the screen gets stuck on the jounuo whatever screen you can fix that.
If you are stuck at Juopunutbear screen and if you can go to bootloader you need to connect the phone to pc, go to fastboot ( should say fastboot usb)*Go to controlbear folder (from where you ran controlbear to begin withon you pc then open command window in it (hold shift and right click, that willopen command window rigjt there and then*when you get into it you need to enter:
"ControlBear.exe -f" no quotes or "ControlBear f" notice the space after the exe !
Lots of peopke forget to put it in and say it didnt work.
I presume this will fix the problem

My phone is now s-off. I didn't flash RUU, just restored stock rooted ROM from backup, did the wire trick (just one time, surprisingly) and everything went nice and smooth. Then I flashed hboot 1.49.0007 with no problems at all. Thanks guys for the tips.
One more thing - my phone state is now "LOCKED" - should I bother?
So I got what I wanted - I've installed ROM in BootManager (the one which doesn't boot before, while phone was 's-on') and this time it booted from SD. Today I'll try more ROMs in BootManager.
Locked doesn't matter as long as you are s-off. It only creates problems if you ever plan on using fastboot commands. Trust me, you dont need to bother with it
But if you really want to know heres a quote from ramjet where he explains it a bit.
ramjet73 said:
Once the RUU.exe is run and the stock bootloader is installed, the phone will be bootloader S-ON regardless of the radio S-OFF status. To run fastboot commands like "flash" and "erase" the stock bootloader needs to be unlocked by the htcdev method or a custom bootloader modified to support those commands needs to be flashed, which requires radio S-OFF.

For running JB you need hboot version 1.49.xxxx.
Coming from hboot 1.53.0007 (GSM Device) you have to
1st Unlock (HTC Dev way)
2ns S-Off (Wire Trick)
3rd Downgrade hboot.
For the Unlock thing, if you're not already unlocked, look here.

Thanks for the quick response, Senior member, youve helped a lot of members here, hopefully you'll also help me too..my device is as such
S-ON,
UNLOCKED BOOTLOADER,
ITS A SHOOTER_U (GSM) ,
WITH HBOOT-1.49.0012.
I would very much like to switch the rom from my 2.3 GB Android, to the 4.2.2 liquid smooth 2.9 CM. although it doesnt have sense Ive also read on numerous threads that i do not have to be S-OFF as i can use the 4EXT recovery to perform smart flashing safely. Any thoughts on this??
I plan to do this,
1/ download liquid smooth
2/ fastboot boot "file.img"
3/ clear dalvik, cache, wipe factory reset,
4/ Flash rom via 4EXT.
5/Reboot.
its how ive always done the Rom flashing. Any problem with my method? do i have to like flash radio/new kernel/ etc??
Latest radio is recommended for most custom roms.
So check if you have the latest radio, otherwise you can get it from here (link from @johnnyslt thread).
To flash new radio you have to be s-off.
A good explanation is here.
Though I did it the other way on my 2 EVO since both had hboot 1.53.0007.
you will most definitely have to flash this new firmware if you want to run ics/jb/kk roms. you might not need to s-off cause you have an older hboot but i highly recommend you get s-off.
As for your method, make the following changes
1. If you do not have 4EXT, get it first
2. Turn on smartflash in 4EXT recovery options
3. Make a nandroid backup from recovery (in case something goes wrong)
4. wipe data/factory reset. wipe cache and dalvik-cache
5. Install rom via recovery and reboot (boot image should be flashed automatically due to smartflash. phone will reboot twice)
If this does not get the rom to boot then you WILL need to s-off. restore your nandroid to get phone back in working condition.
P.S. the command to flash boot.img is "fastboot flash boot boot.img"

3. Make a nandroid backup from recovery (in case something goes wrong)
4. wipe data/factory reset. wipe cache and dalvik-cache
5. Install rom via recovery and reboot (boot image should be flashed automatically due to smartflash. phone will reboot twice)
If this does not get the rom to boot then you WILL need to s-off. restore your nandroid to get phone back in working condition.
P.S. the command to flash boot.img is "fastboot flash boot boot.img"

Eminem, thank you for your feedback on my issue. Okay I have tried everything but the phone just wont get past the boot animation. I have NonSense ICS Rom, flashed boot image via fastboot (thanks for your correction on the command) , flashed Rom, done a superwipe, but all the PG86IMG.ZIP files just wont flash in bootloader. Its starts parsing the zip then just exits just as soon as it starts. I'm guessing this file contains the new radio that will updgrade mine from the GB one to be accept ICS/JB/KITKAT.
I have to the conclusion that the only hindering factor that is keeping my evo 3d from fully booting after flashing a new rom despite dong everything correctly must be the fact that i havent yet achieved S-OFF and hence cannot flash new bootloader, And the only way to do that is via juopunutbear method as the Revotionary tool only works with hboot 1.49.0007-1.49.0008 MIne being hboot 1.49.0012. Thus i ask, must i now download the Ubuntu o.s Ver 12.0 (or Later),just so i can S-Off coz the juopunut website forbids use of any other distros for the proccess.
By The way i have visited your thread and i must say i like it better. i can even spot a KITKAT rom in there. And once i dpo manage to achieve S-OFF i will definitely try it.

My cid is HTC__622
I have thrown in the towel and resorted to return to my Nandroid backup of LeeDroid Ver 5.4 GB. You cannot the believe the process to achieve S-OFF when not in stock rom as mine is a custom rom. It requires me to Return to stock rom, unroot the device, and also relock bootloader. Just so i can do all that again with the stock rom , then finally S-OFF using the Wire-Trick. Scoured the internet for days and not even one thread to S-OFF a HTC EVO 3D while on a GB custom Rom (Like my LeeDroid Rom) , with hboot 1.49.0012, all threads insists that i must chuck the Custom rom, get back on my stock rom and do the whole process again. Tiresome.
Looks like your phone is an asian-HK-CHT model
this RUU should work for you if you want to go to stock ICS. after that you'll need Ubuntu LiveCD to do the wiretrick.
I'm sorry but this is the only way for you to achieve s-off right now

This is the most helpfull post i have received so far. This is ICS (the RUU) an upgrade from my GB rom. So yes i will take it. I have never installed an RUU before, so is it basically just like an OTA upgrade update from GB?? I just download it like any other Rom and install/flash in Recovery and am done? jumping straight to ICS?? Already Downloading. Just tell me what to do with it in steps, remembering that my device is rooted , custom rom, hboot 1.49.0012
Question...
I understand installing an RUU will relock my bootlader and also unroot my device , right??
Essentially, what does an RUU update just the Android version, or even the radio? hboot? kernel?
ok waiiitt a sec
you have to run this exe file from your pc after connecting your phone in bootloader. but first you have to relock bootloader yourself. i'll link you a guide to help you with RUU
---------- Post added at 04:42 PM ---------- Previous post was at 04:29 PM ----------
heres a guide that you can use for reference but it might be a little confusing cause its for cdma users. i'll just detail the steps myself. Yes this WILL upgrade your rom,hboot,recovery,kernel and radio. you will loose root but its simple enough to get back root.
1. boot into bootloader, connect phone to pc and run this command in cmd "fastboot oem lock"
2. Run the RUU exe file on your pc and follow all the steps. its a GUI so its pretty self explanatory. this should take around 15-20 mins max. DO NOT disconnect device when RUU is running
3. Phone should reboot into your brand new ICS rom. now you can proceed to unlock bootloader, flash recovery and root
If you get errors while running RUU it might mean that the RUU is incorrect. or you can see this post for any of the errors
All RUU's are located here
the right RUU for you depends on your area and whether its branded or unbranded

Hey Eminem, I just finished downloading the RUU you linked. my problem is that the RUU troubleshooting link you gave me ( http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=33901562&postcount=117 ) says you must first the CID (fastboot getvar cid) as well as the main version of the software installed (fastboot getvar mainver)
In that regard my CID being HTC_622 AND Mainver being 1.22.708.6 am still not sure the right RUU to flash coz none on the RUU list have the same software mainversion. Nways, im going to try the This Asia RUU ( RUU_SHOOTER_U_ICS_35_S_hTC_Asia_WWE_3.28.707.1_Radio_11.77.3504.00U_11.25.3504.06_M_release_264110_signed ) and will revert with results. Thanks for Everything. Hope It works..Fingers Crossed.
Done trying the RUU ..its didnt work. Error 131 Customer ID Error. is any accurate way of knowing the precise RUU file to flash, with all the info i have aabout my Evo 3D?? The OS has just dissapeared , wont boot up, must've deleted the previous rom, even 4EXT recovery is now gone, i guess with root as well, and now have a RELOCKED bootloader.. #SIGH
there isnt a definite method to determine which RUU will work for you.which country did you purchase the phone from? and its not branded is it? you can try the Europe RUU but i doubt it would work. if it does not then download the gingerbread RUU then update to ICS via OTA
hi, i bought evo 3d in pakistan it was working fine after OTA update i just tried to root it and then tried a custom RUU but it failed and eventually it sucked my original RUU the phone just started restarting from boot screen after that i just visited local market and just gave to some local vendor for software repair he just installed some RUU which in turn sucked the camera and wifi now when i tap at camera app it shw nothing but a certain increase in brightness and then back to normal similarly when i check my wifi it shows 'error' and shows no effect on tapping it i confirmed HTC about the rom they have told me that the local vendor has installed the rom of any other country so how can i get the original rom i.e shipped for Singapore or in other case can my camera and wifi be repaired ??? your kind help will be highly appreciated pl...
well a good way you can start is telling us about your device.
Go into your bootloader and list what it says.

Do you have a recovery installed? With your hboot and s-off you should be able to flash any rom.
get this recovery: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1560279
then flash any rom you want.

i do have recovery installed so firstly it is locked means i would unlock it through htcdev.com method and most importantly i dont wanna install custom rom i wanna install official rom so if u do have a link or in other case my gingerbread rom is working efficiently just camera and wifi are giving errors if u have their drivers it would be a great help.

you're s-off. dont think you need to unlock bootloader. if you're looking for something close to stock I'd recommend you look into this rom. I know its not stock but its much better. you wont lose 3d capabilities as its sense 3.6.
If you insist on stock then you might wanna run an RUU and get back to stock. Get the "RUU_SHOOTER_U_ICS_35_S_HTC_Europe_3.28.401.1_Radio_11.77.3504.00U_11.25.3504.06_M_release_262714_signed.exe" ruu. Most of the phones in pak come from Europe
Made in china, lol
You and I have the same phone - same software running when originally bought: i bought mine directly from china and the phone was only meant for people living in asia, if you did unlock through htcdev, did you have any problem unlocking, mine doesnt want to go past the disclaimer screen, I select yes , press power button and nothing happens even after a 30 min??? any1 please help btw, slecting no, it responds within 2 seconds

See i had given the phone to developer when he returned me, the recovery is not opening any way so i ll try to install recovery my way and more importantly how can I install custom rom through my computer i only know the way of installing the rom through recovery i.e. by copying into memory card...
see this link:-

Install only recovery never unlock boot loader....

If the above link seems a bit difficult to understand I've detailed what you need to do
Its really easy to do it on your own. Just need a few things to set up on your pc/laptop
Install these drivers first: http://dl.dropbox.com/u/97347619/HTCDriver3.0.0.007.exe
Then dl this and extract it in a folder in C:\ drive : http://dl.dropbox.com/u/97347619/mini-adb.zip
Name that folder "android". Now download this recovery(4EXT recovery):http://dl.dropbox.com/u/97347619/recovery.img
Place this recovery.img in android folder
Now open cmd and type "cd C:\android"
Now boot into bootloader and connect your phone to pc and select fastboot on your phone. It should say FASTBOOT USB in red on your phone. This is very important because it shows whether your phone is properly connected or not.
type "fastboot devices" and see if your phone is listed
IF your phone is detected then type this command: "fastboot flash recovery recovery.img"
then to boot into recovery type "fastboot boot recovery.img"
recorvy is not being installed whenever i try it shows remote failed... snapshot attached
oh crap. frogot this completely.This isnt a problem with custom hboots like revolutionary hboot(which is what i use). What you need to do is unlock bootloader from htcdev before you can flash recovery. after that it doesnt matter whether you are unlocked or locked if you want to flash rom.
just follow the instructions at htcdev and you'll get your unlock token

i am afraid that unlocking through htc dev may make my phone to 'S-ON' as i last time tried it unlocked the loader and made it to s-on and tried some custom roms but all roms were giving the same error that the bootimage can not be created so then a local developer somehow managed to write the rom through J-TACK but the camera & wifi are still not working so i dont wanna go this way again... so any better idea???

Friend, I again suggest never try HTC dev .. For custom boot loader you can go there:-
http://unlimited.io/jbhboots.htm
1. Download both hboot of your phone like hboot 1.49.9999 for gb and 1.53.5353 for ics..
2. I think your are on ICS (check you are on android 4.0.3) then choose 1.53.5353 and rename it to " PG86IMG.zip" ..
3. Copy this file into root folder of SD card..
4. Switch off the phone.
5. Go to boot loader with pressing power and vol. - button at same time .
6. Once you go to the boot loader , boot loader scan "" PG86IMG.zip"" and after scaning bootloader ask for update ..
7.. After update.. You can check you bootloader version is 1.53.5353 with no "locked" and "unlocked" statement instead he say jopunetbear..
8. Try again flash recovery with adb and fast boot(you known the procedure already)..
I try this method to get root again after flashing ruu(as PG86IMG.zip),
Hope this will working for you also....

No htcdev cannot turn s-off to.s-on. You said you tried it last time and it made it s-on. But I guess you tried the write secureflag command also.
If you don't want to unlock, then don't unlock it, just flash another hboot.

I tried your 'RUU' link and tried the .exe file but it gave error that it cannot be updated... I'll try the zip file 2day.
I have tried different roms like firstly sad ics then yoda ics nd now running cool ics for gsm but infacr camera is not working at Ll i have updated all tue kernals and firmware and the rom but camera still not working wats its sol??? How can i make it work???
if you have camera problems with every rom then its probably a hardware issue
