Ok, everything started when I relocked my bootloader. I did because I wanted to take the latest OTAs and update radios without going through the Racoon method.
I locked the bootloader and my phone did not reboot , It got stuck in the bootloader screen and will not do anything else.
My hboot is 1.15 so I have tried to run the RUU , but fails every time because it says that needs 30% battery on the phone. I have left the phone charging overnight, more than enough time to charge and the same fricking results. I am just about to smash it and do a claim to my insurance.
IF you can help me to successfully fix this I will donate $25.00 to your paypal.
I can be reached by Google + , Gtalk ( engelsione ) [email protected] or by phone.

There is, but I don't think it's gonna do him much good if his phone restarts every time he plugs it in to charge it. I'm at a loss here. Maybe somebody like Captain Throwback can help the guy get things sorted out.
The advice is free....the bandwidth, not so much
I know you don't want to dirty racun, but if you go to their site and download the RUU for hboot 1.15 from them and follow the steps they list to fastboot the RUU it may get you back in business. It seems to solve a lot of problems.

But if he's plugged in already then powers down. It might work.

Were you on a stock ROM when you relocked? I ask because when I was ready to S-Off last week I was on Mean ROM ICS and I thought to myself, "dinner is almost ready, so I'll just relock now so it's done and S-off later"..well once I relocked my phone that was it. Would not boot up again. I sat there and finished the Dirty Rac process and all was good after the RUU was pushed and flashed.
I was running that same ROM, Meanbean Jelly Bean the latest version, everything started once I relocked the bootloader. Dead on bootloader screen for the last 2 days. I am downloading the RUU on Racoon site and will try that once the download is complete.

This is what i did. First if you hold the power button for 8 sec it will force the phone off. After you charge it enter the bootloader screen and unlock via htcdev after that is finnished install a recovery in fastboot and insrall the last rom that worked for you. Once you get it back up I highly recommend soff i did racoon and it simplifies every thing. Im a new member so i cant post links but if you go on the htcevohacks website and look for the unlocking guide it will take you step by step. Hope this helps and i wish you luck.

Yes, sounds like you did exactly as I did. Get Ubuntu 12.04 running and follow the Dirty Rac steps and I'm sure you'll be in business.

just take it to Sprint and tell them it was doing an OTA update and this is what it is doing. then yr replacement will be free b/c they will write it up as a hardware failure.
Hardware failure is not yr fault.

Hey everyone, I am unable to unlock my bootloader after accepting this OTA. I just got an EVO 3D yesterday and I updated it as soon as I got it. I first checked to see if it was an HBOOT below 1.5, it wasn't so I went ahead and updated. However when i get to step 12 i believe on the htc dev site, I flash the unlock_code.bin and nothing happens just sits there. I read around and found people saying you need to take the 2.08 RUU, I tried that and when it gets to the black HTC screen I get an error 140. I was so excited to get this phone and already downloaded the rom i wanted before owning it. If someone can please help me out I would appreciate it. Thanks

Same here.
The same RUU I used to revert to the .2sw update to unlock two other evo3d's with hboot 1.5, will not work. Im unbelievably frustrated right now as Ive been sitting at this computer for over three hours. Please, if you find a way to downgrade your software, please let me know. thanks
not sure why you wanted to be on hboot 1.50. but shouldnt be a problem to unlock the bootloader, since it was just minor updates and still on hboot 1.50. id just try doing the process again.
i unlocked mine with unlock_code.bin that i used when i rooted my evo 3d for 1st time.....it worked fine.
Tried 5 times and failed..

I didn't want to be on hboot 1.5, I wanted to be below it. But when I first got my phone I checked the bootloader and was already at 1.5. If it was below that I would've been rooted right now...
to be a bit more clear it was hboot 1.5 with an OTA 2.08 when I first received the phone.

1st Check you bootloader .What it says at the top .(locked/unlocked/relocked) if it says unlocked you do not need unlock_code.bin.
Try these from step 13:

That's the guide I used to HTC Unlock. Video helped. There is a post somewhere about needing to Re-flash the stock RUU.exe or Ruu.zip (renamed to PG86IMG.zip) to get the phone past the "nothing happens" step where you're supposed to get the "unlock" option screen on the phone. I haven't seen the 651.5 released as a complete RUU, but you could probably flash the 651.3 RUU, finish the HTC unlock and then run the 651.5 update. Heck, the unlock would probably work after the update, idk for sure.
I have some links and my issue with this below.

I have some tools and files for you to use that will give you temp root and allow a downgrade to 2.08.651.2 rom, hboot will still be 1.50 though. However from there you should be able to unlock via HTCdev method. I gotta upload the files and write the code which I will post up here in a second. I hope you are ok with using adb and fastboot.

I havent tried anything with adb. I havent used adb since the Evo4g. Have a link?
I have tried running the RUU with windows, I have tried PG86IMG.zip's, Ive tried RUU's while already being in fastboot. When I try using PG86IMG's through hboot, it loads the file, checks the file then dumps me back at the Hboot screen.

Adb is what most folks use to do all there stuff. You have to have adb installed to do the HTC devs route from what I have read. So the phone is locked and your tryin to root it. But are gettin errors ?
So your phone now is hboot 1.5 and is currently up to date and your tryin to root it HTC dev route but get errors?

It would be nice if HTC updated their bootloader unlock method but frankly, I dont see that happening. I called them today and they dont support anything.

It will work man lol. Has for everyone else.... I never had that issue.. But everyone else that had it that RUU worked for them...
The download is slow as HELL man.... I had to get it the other day cause I had to unroot lol..
I suggest once you get that downloaded keep it since downloading it is so damn slow lol. Helps if you have to relock your phone and your sitting in HBOOT it will throw stock back on your phone..

This was my old phone and was running Fresh. The problems started when I gave it to my Aunt and the update popped up and it has been jank since.
Any thoughts?
Try updating TWRP to at least version 2.3. Then try re-flashing.

Said the update failed. I placed the file on the root of the SD card method.
"Main version is older?"

What version of TWRP did you try to install?
Also, do you have a Nandroid backup? If so, try to install it if you haven't already done so.
RUU and s-off.
Problem solved.

This phone is about 2 phones back for me and I am not up to speed on them anymore. When I had it s-off wasn't even an option. Can you possibly link me a tutorial, my brief checking didn't yield a specific process regarding that RUU. Reason I say, is because I downloaded an RUU and it didn't show the phone, would putting it in fastboot correct that?
Actually dont bother RUU. If it has TWRP then just follow this tutorial: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2163013

Tried this using the 3.15 update and it failed. Going to try it with the 1.13 that is installed.

I don't care about root or any of the other mods. My aunt will be using the phone, I just need it to work again.
It will work after you do this. Just follow the instructions.
If you want to return it to stock, follow this video:

I've been jacking with this for days. Can I UPS this to someone to fix or is there anyone in the OKC area?
If you pay for shipping to and from I'll fix it for you.
Then if you decide to kick extra cash my way itll be nice.

Or you can get teamviewer and I'll do it remotely and you can just send cash to my paypal. That way it'll only be down for about 20 minutes?

PM sent.
As an update. Indirect got this working. It took a format to the internal storage. An update of TWRP. A sideload of meanbean and then the standard s-off procedure. Not sure if I've missed out on anything that was required. The TWRP update had to be pushed via ADB.
I have to get logged into my paypal, I will get some funds sent your way. Much obliged.

I want to root my phone badly and install cyanagenmod 10.2 on my rezound. But I'm afraid to, I mean I've read everything and I'm pretty sure I could do it easily, but it just scares me of bricking my phone, I upgrade sometime this year, should I wait till I upgrade? And by the way, if I do, do it, its on a Mac...
Sent from my HTC Rezound
There's very little if any chance of bricking unless you go S-Off. Keep it S-On and you'll always be able to recover to stock as long as you have a PC (something that works with Fastboot such as Windows or Ubuntu) and the latest RUU
Thank you, I've read that multiple times, but should I wait till I go for a upgrade? Or would you say root it sometime soon? And is it possible on mac though... I have the SDK, and all the necessary stuff on my mac, or at least I think...

ruu requires s-off bud...also if you soft brick while s-on there is no fix what so ever...all soft brick fixes work in s-off only.....but yes you actually root via a custom recovery on the rez...if s-on all you have to do is fastboot flash said recovery which i can link you to and run the su installer

Really it depends on the hboot and radios his phone is on, right? Bc say he were on the global leak 2.27 hboot with 2.22 radios he could still apply that ruu. However if on 2.28 hboot with 2.23 radios there technically is no official ruu so would need have be s_off..

he could fastboot to 2.28 without that provided OTA fille...ruu is actually an exe program... but i suggest against it honestly....but if downgrading at all requires s-off....he can root without s-off and flash roms....so long as he does use s-on instructions....(which to be honest s-on users have a harder time flashing custom roms for the reason of having to fastboot all the time)
Plus S-Off is so easy now... No wire trick

I guess what the OP needs is some words of encouragement so let me just say this : unlocking the bootloader through HTC dev will not brick your phone, flashing a custom recovery will not brick your phone, flashing a custom rom will not brick your phone, getting the most out of your rezound will not brick your phone. Btw happy new year everybody

Ok...so do I go s-off or s-on... Which one would you suggest... I'm kind of a noob... Sorry about that, I've read so many forum's, but I just haven't gotten to do it, or afraid of doing it, I know unlock bootloader and so on so forth... But after that... I know the HTC developers website provides a way for you to unlock the boot loader which allows you to install a custom ROM but I've seen other people do it differently, I've heard mac88 has a great one on rooting HTC rezound, but its supposed to have pictures but it was taken down... Or at least the pictures and I suck at reading it and doing it sometimes... I do better by seeing... Any help for a noob guys... Please help..

Here ya go! http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2585885 Much easier than the Juopunut s-off which requires Linux and the use of a wire to short out contacts on your phone.
Edit: Of course you need to be unlocked and rooted, and have a custom rom and kernel already installed to use this method. So it may not be easier for you.

Thank you I got into the boot loader unlock, but haven't done it yet, I went back in to make sure I have everything backed up, and when installing CWM does it back up your stock Rom onto a SD card? I've read things on it but don't really understand...sorry still a noob...

It appears you have a lot more reading to do before you start making these changes to your phone. If not careful you can turn it into a useless brick. I would suggest reading through as many development threads as you can to get more comfortable.
BTW, you won't be doing any of this from your Mac. Find a Windows or Linux computer to use.
