Hello all. Couldnt really find anything in the similar threads for this issue...My son has an EVO 4G LTE. He is home for the holidays and before he left last summer I unlocked his phone and installed a Fresh Rom, keeping S-on. Hes home now and He told me he tried to take the OTA, It didnt change of coarse, so I told him we would get it all back to stock if thats what he wanted. I "re-locked" the phone via HTC Dev. then tried installing the 3.15 RUU. Somehow the bootlader is 2.09 and it stops the RUU with error 140. Im assuming the bootloader is too new compared to the old 1.12 software on the phone. I even tried the a different RUU 2.13. same thing. Didnt do a reset yet as the phone is relocked and i didnt do a backup. Im just a notch above novice and have gained a lot of the tips through my EVO 3D and the help of you guys. Thanks in advance.

Maybe not the answer you're looking for, but what about unlock again and just flash a stock rooted OTA ROM?

It's because of your new tp firmware. Which means you are also on 3.16 software. So you would need the 3.16 ruu.

Hi, after unrooting and returning back to stock
I have not been able to get the 4g to start.
I have returned to rooted and I still haven't
got 4g back now when i did the wimax_mtd it doesn't load.
PLEASE HELP I have 2.17 and 1.5 HBOOT dont know if that will help
Best fix is to run the ruu
I did run the ruu.exe I had to do that to get back to stock un rooted
after i did that and returned to stock thats when it was unable to start 4g
I believe he was trying to say to rerun the RUU. I have had that issues with a couple custom roms but a simple restart and the issue is fixed
Reflash your kernel, the Wimax drivers and Wifi drivers are in there. Flash Image GUI app is your friend since your on hboot 1.50 , so is 4EXT recovery touch v1.0.0.5 RC1 or later...you can flash kernel while in recovery with that one. This should clear up any errors your getting man.
*****Btw I recommend ziggys custom kernel, you should checkout the latest meanROM since its baked-in *****
Thank you, ill try using the zip then if that doesnt work ill try the .exe and stil no, ill send it in
If I am on gb can I flash the new ics ruu without doing anything else? I have an unlocked bootloader with s-off.

It's not technically a RUU but yeah since you're s-off you can flash it. If you're looking to just get the firmware you can flash the separately also.
yes
I installed and everything installed ok but now it just keeps flashing white HTC boot screen.

Did you flash the ZIP file twice in a row? Apparently flashing the PHXXXXX.zip files for ICS don't install everything completely the first time around, you need to do it twice to have a complete install.
It did install twice. I bought this phone used and it already was unlocked with s-off but wifi wasnt working. I was able to flash the gb ruu and the phone is working again but wifi is still broke. I really need somebody that knows what they are doing to tell me what the person before me did. I have had no success flashing other roms either.
Do a factory reset. That should clear up the wifi issue.
I did that with no luck.

Yes you can flash the RUU. Then after that use the jbear modified hboot and you can flash kernels and recoveries via fastboot without having to unlock the bootloader.
I already tried flashing the newest ics ruu and my phone would just keep rebooting from the white HTC screen. I even tried a factory reset.
Every rom I try to flash I just get boot loops. I just installed clean rom with gingerbread patch and it will boot up, then restart, then act like it is going to work and then restart. It even gets to activating and then just keeps rebooting.
The bootloop sounds like a kernel issue, but if you are installing the RUU it should be fine. Maybe you have a bad download. Did you check the MD5?
Hello everybody
The new ICS update for the ROGERS EVO 3D just came out yesterday, so I restored my phone to the original firmware (via restoring the backup I did in the recovery) and then proceeded to download the OTA update. After it finished, the phone rebooted into the recovery (i have 4-ext touch recovery) and started installing. After it finished, the phone rebooted and then got stuck on the white HTC screen. I managed to enter the recovery again and restore the original firmware again. What is that I'm doing wrong here? Here is some helpful info:
Rogers EVO 3D, GSM version
Unlocked bootloader (HTCDEV method), S-ON
carrier unlocked
HBOOT 1.49.0008
OS is rooted
I'm in the same boat but I'm not able to do a recovery. I went through the update process and when the phone rebooted it got stuck on the white htc screen. I can get it into the bootloader menu but when i choose recovery it starts but then i get an error with a pic of the device and the red yield sign. If i choose factory reset it just gets stuck at the white htc. I read some other posts and I saw that having an unlocked bootloader may cause issues with updates so that may be your issue as for me, I'm not sure what I can do. I may just need the actual update file to redo the update but I'm not sure where to find it.
Same here, but I don't get half way through the ota update before I see the red triangle and exclamation mark. Phone will boot into stock recovery (which I would assume you need instead of modded recovery) and the update starts, but doesn't complete. I pull the battery and the phone boots up normally. Just can't seem to get through the update. Could be something to do with being s-off I would guess.

Same problem but whit s-off
I have been predicting that this would happen... ICS failures with non-standard HBOOTs. Good luck.
Probably will have to wait for an RUU or custom.
I'd recommend using the GB ruu to get you back to full stock. Always found Rogers ota updates (possibly all carriers?) won't install if you're rooted or using a custom recovery.
I had to install the ruu via renaming the rom.zip to PG86IMG.zip and copying it to the sd card so that the bootloader would auto flash it. Running the ruu exe tossed up all kinds of errors.
It will put everything back to Rogers stock. After that just setup wifi and do the 2 Rogers OTA updates.
Once in ICS, it's easy peasy to get recovery and root back.
Also, for what it's worth, Go Backup is awesome for going rom to rom and not needing a full backup. Use it on rooted rom, then use it to restore after rooting new rom. Will do all your apk's and everything.
1st post here after years of lurking. Yay.

Alright thanks a lot
Just an update on what I did. I was able to reload the stock gb rom for rogers using the exe file, then I went through the 2 updates that came up when checking and ics is now up and running on my phone. However in my attempts of trying to fix the original problem, I managed to re-lock my bootloader before flashing to stock rom and I had s-on the whole time. hope this help.
i switched to stock like.. a week back?
jus got ota on 4th
i WAS rooted and using juopunutbear's hboot *u can jus get the hboot from their website*
so i jus flashed back stock recovery.. and updated.. and success.. lost root though.. and i was back to stock bootloader..
used the PG86IMG with juopunutbear's bootloader and 4ext recovery.. and flashed cwm supersu.. v0.91 i think.. i dunno.. latest one.. and bam.. im on stock.. rooted.. and works perfectly..
Possible sollution
Maybe try flashing one of the customized ROMs that are based on the latest OTA update. I'm sure Anryl's newest rom is blazing-fast and stable. You can find it in the gsm android development forum and flash it via recovery. Make sure you have the latest 4ext recovery installed, though.
where can a i find that stock rogers rom i modified mine and that might be the reason i get a security failure in hboot. s is on. when i run the ruu file in windows to downgrade i get error 155. when i run the the update from about phone. it locks up with blue android guy and yellow exclamation mark. i remove the battery and she boots fine with no changes.
I am trying to do same. Get stuck on HTC screen. I have S-ON. Was on cobra 2.4 prior.
If anyone can give details on how to fix it, it would be great! Please no saying "install exe". I need to know which exe etc.
just wanted to tell everyone that in order for the ota update to work properly, you need to be running stock unrooted firmware with a locked bootloader. Just relock your bootloader, reinstall the stock firmware, upgrade to ics via ota, then re-unlock and re-root.
Hi
I have a HTC EVO 3D from Rogers that was got messed up during changing networks... rooted the phone for no apparent reason... to now get a update for it for ics from the provider and it bricked the phone.
It's stuck at HTC boot screen, can get fastboot USB from bootloader. recovery gets a ! in a triangle and factory reset doesn't work, freezes at splash screen after restarting the phone. Was stupid not making a backup or searching for programs to back it up before I went ahead and clicked update
It has HTC boot-loader 1.49 s-on but is rooted.
I am looking for clear(fix my evo for dummies) step by step instructions with correct installation for my model of phone, HTC EVO 3D Rogers GSM, or anything that could replace the os to get my phone to be useful again I'm currently using my backup phone a HTC G1 HTC ftw
Try kingcobra's rom, ota from rogers will not boot due to the fact that your phone is rooted, kingcobra's rom is based on rogers ota, flash it and leave it.

Go to the gsm development forum and download the RUU for the phone, and restore it to stock unrooted OS. Before you do that though, make sure that your phone's BOOTLOADER IS LOCKED. Look up how to re-lock your bootloader. After you relock your bootloader, you can proceed with restoring the phone.
Soooo.... basically, what I'm getting from this is, if you like having a locked bootloader, CWM and root, don't bother trying to install this OTA update because it's a headache. Agree?
The phone's not mine, it's my wife's, and she doesn't want anything special or like the idea of me messing around in her phone.
I was about to install this late last night, just about to hit that button, then I thought, "what about the bootloader? what about root? what about the fact that it's now unlocked and being used on a carrier other than Rogers?"
After hours of searching through the forums, I'm stuck. I'm trying to get my phone to S-Off, but the procedure requires me to have a stock RUU. However, I had already updated to ICS previously (I'm currently using the JB ROM, and I want S-Off for the resale value). I've unlocked, and relocked my bootloader while trying to flash the RUUs and nothing worked.
On the OEM Shipped roms thread, the three RUUs for Wind mobile are an OTA update (Unflashable with stock bootloader or 4ext), and two GB .exe flashers (Unable to flash as hboot is too new).
If I can somehow change my CID with S-On, I can flash to the t-mobile rom. Alternatively, if I can somehow downgrade my hboot I think I can flash the GB .exe roms. Does anyone know how to do this or is there another solution that I missed?
no you cannot super cid the phone while s-on, but here's a thread that might be able to help you flash back to stock

Want to restore the backup of stock rom of HTC amaze 4g
Dear All,
I have made a back up of my custom rom through 4ext recovery software and tried different customs rom but failed to update my amaze 4g. Now I want to bring back my mobile to its stock rom from the backup I created. I tried to do it through 4ext but it says that there is no file on the SD card where as the file is still lying there.
Any help in this regard is very much appreciated.
Thanks in advance.
Soff and super cid.. Flash tmobile
Then flash the factory rom you want.. Then work backwards to factory locked etc

What do you mean I can't say that??!!.. It's the fkin Internet!
Hello, I desperately would like to see how to put my HTC Amaze back to stock. A couple of months ago I tried putting it back to stock because the energy rom kept rebooting on me and draining my battery life randomly. Anyways I was not successful and so I just kept the rom and the rebooting problems stopped anyways. Now, its happening again and I would really love for some one to help me get it back to stock so I can see if it improves and maybe get the thing S-OFF later. I am with Wind mobile.
Any help is greatly appreciated,
A frustrated amaze user.

Hey thanks for the response. So I locked the bootloader and then got the wind RUU renamed it as PH85img.zip or w/e its supposed to be. And now when in the boot screen it cannot find my file I then tried another RUU but this time is used the exe wind one but that one failed as well and came up as an error saying the hboot version is older then what im flashing or something?
So I am stuck at this point. Do you know how to get around this?
Make sure the ruu is on the root of the sd card

Yeah it was connected via usb. I got somewhere, now but im am hoping you can tell me what i need to do now. I followed the second post here : http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2167596 and now I have GB rom on my phone running unlocked. What do I need to do from here so I can S-off and super CID? PS I tried doing an OTA update from the phone and it wont work.
Looking into the S-off guide it says i must be on a stock RUU. is the one i got install a stock RUU. Also my hboot version is 1.93.0002 (Mar 15 2012) which is ice cream sandwich according to the Unlimited.IO site, but the RUU im on is definitely gingerbread. What can I do about this?

am I completely screwed now? Cause it seems i wont be able to get S-off or CID off while not on this unsigned rom (t-mobile), i am with Wind. The OTA does not work while on the phone (settings > software update). Would locking my bootloader and then loading the latest OTA zip from wind on the SD card work? I am very stuck!

well choice is yours your android version says GB hboot says ICS :/ i say try the GB s-off tool but do at your own risk...
well S-Off worked so thats good haha. Now i am trying to super CID. However, when uploading the proper hboot for doing so it wont let me because of the CID.
Ignore that last post. I figured it out so all is good. Now here is another question, should i flash CM10.1 or your rom that viper one? How would I go about flashing a rom. I remembered before you would just go into recovery and then format all execpt sd card and then install from zip. I tried that with the CM10.1 rom and when I rebooted it did not work.
went ahead and tried installing the Viper rom and after i reboot (when it said all was good) it show a black screen with green arrows. And its stuck on that. I do not know what to do now. Because I should have everything open. Was I supposed to flash something after doing the S-OFF?
This is what I am getting stuck on. I tried another rom too, same thing. I can boot into 4ext. But cant get past this on boot up.
