I was rooting and working on s-off on my girlfriends phone last night and couldn't find a wire to complete the process. Now its stuck in stock recovery, even after I flashed twrp before trying s-off. Please help, talk about one pissed girlfriend.

Need more info. What did you do and what didn't you do in terms of a normal root/s-off procedure?
boot into bootloader, put it into fastboot, flash custom recovery, preferably 4EXT with smartflash enabled
then boot into recovery and install a rom of your choice(that boots with s-on)
[i'm assuming you are unlocked and s-on right now?]
OR
run an RUU to get back to stock

My phone is HTC EVO 3D, and it's bricking after the ICS update from provider. It hangs on the HTC logo. I read numerous post about flashing it with update or rom, but it's now S-ON and when I try to flash from SD card in recovery it gives me :
Invalid Operation
Rebooting Reasonem-00
As far as I know I have to get it to S-OFF before I can use recovery to flash it, but I tried revolutionary and seems like it require the phone in a working state to function. Currently when I run revolutionary with usb connected on HBOOT-1.49.0008 menu revolutionary won't connect. I don't have CWM either and I don't know how to get it onto the phone without Market Place and S-ON.
Is there anyway to get it to S-OFF so I can move forward to fix my phone with any working rom? Fastboot is connecting no problem (at HBOOT menu) but I don't know if it allows me to flash or turn it to S-OFF.
Thanks in advance.

I don't have your phone but I know that if u search it you might be able to get the official ics update for your device and the put it on your sd card and update from the boot loader and your phone would probably boot up and be fine but like i said Google it bc you probably have to rename the file something special. I'm kinda a noob so sorry if this didn't help

the RUU from Rogers wouldn't update either.
I'm not able to flash the Clockwork Mod to the recovery using fastboot.
I tried flashing King Cobra but after the flash the phone still doesn't boot. I'm still on S-ON. Revolutionary still won't connect...
I read this post: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1560279&page=21
that says I can flash the rom with S-ON with 4Ext recovery. But I can't do anything with the downloaded apk file as my phone doesn't boot up properly to the system. Where can I find the recovery img to flash it manually with fastboot?
Thanks.
Fixed this by:
1) Getting the official RUU on ICS.
2) Connect USB in HBOOT
3) Use fastboot to relock the bootloader
4) Run RUU on Windows and successfully flashed everything
So seems like S-ON pluse unlocked bootloader means no no to both official rom and custom rom.
Prior to this morning, my phone was on hboot 1.40 s-off, rooted and all that jazz. Sometime today I found my phone was off and when I turned it on, it was in a boot loop. I tried flashing recovery because I could not boot into recovery, but my fastboot was also not working. I then proceeded to flash a stock rom (2.89) which relocked and updated the hboot to 1.58.
Now after unlocking via htcdev.com, I have still have hboot 1.58, but I am unlocked with s-off. The problem I am facing now, is I still am in a boot loop and cannot get into recovery at all. I have tried to flash TWRP 2.3.0.0 and cwm 4.0.1.4 with no results. I have tried everything I have thought of and searched all around, and still am stuck . Any suggestions?
I'd probably do a lot of reading here:

And run an ruu

Can you boot into the bootloadrr? If so you can reboot into the recovery from there.

How did you flash the stock ROM and 1.58 recovery? If you used a PG86IMG.zip file you need to remove that from the root of your SD card before you will be able to do anything in the bootloader besides reflashing that or a normal boot, which won't work at this point.

I downgraded the Hboot to 1.40 and then flashed the stock rom 1.13 (because it is also is hboot 1.40) using the PG86IMG.zip. That updates fine and the phone works. However, when trying to root using revolutionary, the phone is put into fastboot, and I am stuck there until I pull the battery and given another boot loop.
As of right now, I am in a boot loop, but trying to update again to 1.13. I am just trying to find a way to get this to work and restore a backup made through cwm before all of this happened.

I can really only boot into the bootloader, but I do not have a recovery, so it just goes into a boot loop.
So I recently tried installing MidnightRom Jellybean on my EVO but got stuck on the Beats audio Logo Screen. I cant do anything except go to CWM v5.8.0.1 Recovery Menu and HBOOT Screen... Later figured out MNJB Doesn't work on 1.58 HBOOT
So I need to return it back to stock or something?
The RUU Program doesnt launch on my computer and i have drivers installed
Please Redirect me to a thread with similar Postings if possible

you should always make a nandroid backup of your current rom before flashing a new one so you can return if anything goes wrong. right now there are a couple of choices you can make. you can either flash a rom which works with your hboot or you can RUU back to stock.
If you want to run an RUU then you need to relock your bootloader first. boot into fastboot and type "fastboot oem lock" in cmd. then run RUU.
if you wish to install a different rom then first of all change your recovery to 4ext
extract zip file and flash recovery.img like you flashed cwm recovery. then boot into recovery and turn on smartflash in options (this is important as you are s-on. this will flash boot.img for you)
after that wipe everything except sdcard and flash a sense based rom
I don't think you can run ruu. 1.58 hboot is from the latest update, and afaik the ruu will only work on phones that did not take that update, unless you were s off.
You need to flash a stock Rom such as harmonia.
You may need to flash boot.IMG through fastboot to get out of bootloop.
And yes, you should definitely install 4ext recovery, and make sure smartflash is enabled

i tried flashing recovery...
i tried flashing recovery but cwm stayed it wont change
Make sure the 4ext recovery.IMG is the only recovery.IMG in your SDK tools folder.
Other than that, I can't help

I have a evo 3d(Sprint) on Hboot 1.58.0000 S-On
I unlocked the bootloader installed a recovery installed a rom and now am stuck on a bootloop.
I can get into recovery and bootloader.
I need to go back to stock. How would I go about doing that?

Just search the dev thread for a stock or stock like rom and flash it.
A non ICS rom won't boot.
You should use 4ext recovery with SmartFlash turned on or flash the boot.img manually in fastboot mode after flashing the rom.
I am rooted with an unlocked bootloader (went from TWRP back to Stock recovery a few weeks ago). I was reading about the RUU, but someone said you need to be S-off to do it. Is this true? And if not, how can I use the RUU then?
need to know this too mine was rooted bootloader is unlocked but for some reason its s-on
I cannot use firewater cause my phone won't boot past htc logo and when I true ancestor thru twrp it says failed .
I'm pulling my hair out some one help
I don't think you need to be S-Off. But I think you do need to re-lock the bootloader though not sure on that.
relock the bootloader and flash stock recovery, then use the RUU if you want an easy way to relock the bootloader and flash the stock recovery use HTC One 2014 (M8) All-In-One Toolkit from here http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2699065 by hasoon2000
or enter recovery , fastboot, then try running the RUU
fastboot oem lock will lock bootloader again...make sure you have stock recovery, you can boot into bootloader, connect via fastboot mode and run ruu from there
