I overlooked the note:
If you have achieved S-Off via HTCDev.com, then you need to extract the boot image from Cool_ROM.zip and flash it via fastboot "fasboot flash boot boot.img"

..and flashed via recovery without extracting the boot image.
Problems: Bootloop and returns to recovery mode (revolutionary)
I have tried to do a restore but it does not do anything.
I have tried to flash the bootimage via adb (after 'adb devices') but I get a 'waiting for device' message and nothing is happening.
Question is: What can I do from here to correct my mistakes?
You do not flash it through adb you flash it through Fastboot while your flyer is in Fastboot mode

Thank you for your respons!
Yes ofcourse it's Fastboot, silly me, and now it seems to flash the boot image. Never the less it keeps bootlooping. It reaches the lockscreen and then reboots.
I first factory reset, then flashed the rom and then I flashed the boot image in Fastboot mode. Am I doing this wrong?
Antoher thing is, I noticed this in HBOOT screen:
*** UNLOCKED ***
FLyer PVT Ship S-ON RL
It is unlocked and S-ON?
Take your sim out and try
Yes I tried that and it seems to work. I have not yet tried to put back in..

How can I remove sim lock pin code when in a boot loop?
I just relocked my boot loader so I could flash the new RUU. The relock worked fine but now I am stuck in a boot loader loop. I can't get booted to a normal screen, can't get into recovery. How do I unlock from here so I can flash a rom and get a working phone again?
Make sure you have fastboot selected and the phone plugged in to your pc, so that "fastboot usb" shows up highlighted in red, and then the RUU should be able to reflash it.
That worked, thanks for the help. Back to stock, latest firmware, already unlocked rerooted and flashing mean rom.
Hello everybody.
Before posting this thread I have read lots of similar threads, but no answer...
My evo was running fine on Mwakious3D rom v.15.3, I was s-off, 4ext recovery, Hboot 1.49.1107, kernel coolexe (integrated in Mwakious rom).
Yesterday night I had network connection problems, so I tried to switch from GSM only to GSM/CDMA auto and back.
My device freezed and I could not get back it responding, so I pulled the battery out.
Then I put back the battery in and tried to turn it on.
From that moment, when I try to turn it on, it shows the HTC splash screen, then after about 10 seconds it turns off by itself and starts bootlooping.
I tried to enter recovery trough Hboot, but even recovery gets stuck on HTC splash screen and the device gets very very hot, then a bootloop starts. I have to pull the battery out because I fear I can damage it.
So I tried to flash again the boot.img from the rom I was on, through Fastboot in command line. The operation succeeded, but when I tried to reboot, I always got bootloop.
So I tried to fastboot flash a new recovery becaue I thought mine was broken. I tried to flash 4ext, cwm and twrp.
Even this didn't fix the problem: I can't get past HTC splash screen either in normal rebooting nor recovery.
So I tried to flash the P86img.zip contained in this thread at letter E: ht_tp://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1743466 (sorry, I can't post URLs).
Even after flashing that, no way I can get past the HTC splash.. I can't access recovery, even if I try to boot it from fastboot.
I don't know what to do anymore.
Please help!!!
My configuration at the moment:
Hboot 1.49.0007 s-off
Radio: 10.13.9020.08_2m
Recovery: 4ext
Please, help me as soon as possible, you are my only hope to unbrick my Evo 3D!!!
Another information: I try to access the device also via adb.
It returns me empty devices list.
If I run adb usb, it returns me error:no device connected.
I have the HTC drivers v.3.007 installed. I tried both on XP x86 and W7 x64.
Fastboot instead recognizes the device, so that I can flash *.img.
relock hboot and run an RUU. then flash recovery and rom again.

Thanks a lot... i'm trying in a couple of hours...
I will feedback if it's working.
Bad news dude!!!
I relocked hboot then ran the latest RUU.
Flashing process proceeds well and completes, but after it the phone keeps bootlooping. Always stuck to HTC splash logo.
In the bootloader menu "recovery" is still there. I can't boot into recovery either because I get the usual bootloop.
Any further ideas?
At the moment I am on
Hboot 1.53.0007 relocked s-on
radio -11.25.3504.06_m
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
when I run adb usb it still responds error: device not found
Now I unlocked back Hboot and succeeded in flashing recovery (4ext).
Anyway that f***ing bootloop is still there... I can't access recovery...damnit:crying:
Take out your sdcard and see if you can boot into recovery, taking a shot in the dark but could be a corrupt sdcard
(Don't ask me for help as I couldn't care if your phone explodes, eh!
try "fastboot boot recovery.img" in cmd. but the real problem is that running RUU didnt work. are you sure it flashed completely? I'd say run it again
Sorry, friends, I tried both methods without success...always that bootloop after... Even trying fastboot boot recovery.img... I can't get into recovery menu. Only hboot menu... Maybe I could try once again to flash the RUU.exe after relocking bootloader...any better ideas than mine? I'm starting to lose hope...
Hi,
I have nearly the same issue.
i played to much with reroot and unroot.
Now my evo gsm austria is:
shooter_u pvt shp s-off rl
hboot 1.53.0007
radio 10.13.9020.08_2m
eMMC boot
I can access recovery, but it doesn't matter which rom i flash i always have the bootloop. I even flashed different recoveries and the extracted boot,img from the roms (via fastboot). But i'm stuck in the Bootloop.
When i try to flash an RUU as PG86IMG i get the message CID incorrect.
CID is VODAP120
I hope someone has the answer.
thanx michael

I changed my CID now:
fastboot oem writecid HTC__01
moved a non branded pg86img to the root of my sdcard and it ran through
now my phone is back to hboot 1.49.0007
looks good at the moment
i want to get back to full stock, to get original ICS
but i can't get updates, they always fail during the installation . even when i was locked and s-on
It runs again - back to life
So what did i do next.
The official OTA Update to ICS came down!
But wouldn't install
So i extracted the firmware.zip moved to PG86IMG.zip and flashed over the bootloader.(just 24MB - Boot,Bootloader)
It installed rebooted and at the moment a very long black screen, lets see how long
---------- Post added at 06:45 AM ---------- Previous post was at 06:27 AM ----------
No bootloop, but nothing else too
Next step
extract the rom.zip from "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"
moved as PG86IMG.zip to root of SDCARD
and flashing over Bootloader
lets wait
---------- Post added at 06:53 AM ---------- Previous post was at 06:45 AM ----------
YEAH
Android 4.0.3
Sense 3.6
Software
3.28.401.1
And its running
Still S-OFF and unlocked
with H-BOOT 1.53.0007
Radio 11.25.304.06_M
I hope the 12hrs i invested the last 3 days will repay

Extract the rom zip file and rename it to PG86IMG.zip , put in root of sdcard and flash in bootloader.
I'm running out of ideas here. Running an RUU is a last failsafe method of restoring your phone to stock but that isnt working for you. Maybe try another ruu(the one which was on your phone when you purchased it)
I'm having some issues aswell.
I flashed 4ext because some roms would get stuck on the htc logo screen for half an hour..
Flashed the NonSense rom, worked fine, made a backup of it.
Then i wanted to test Viper's latest rom with sense 4.0, flashed it with 4ext, successful.
I found NonSense better in my opinion so i went to backup, and restored the ROM. After that i couldn't get any further than the htc logo screen.
I switched to clockwork, twrp but no result. I tried even other ROMs but i still can't get pass that cursed splash screen.
And yes, i deleted cache and dalvik etc..
The only thing i haven't tried is getting the stock rom and flashing it to see if it works.
Also, would some of you be kind enough to give me the recovery.img of the latest version of 4ext? I can't find it anywhere, not even on my sd card.
Thanks, looking forward to your answers.
my advice would be to do a clean install of nonsense rom. Wipe data+factory reset, wipe dalvik cache, install rom.
btw are you s-off or s-on? be sure to turn on smart flash in case you're s-on.
I've attached 4EXT RC5

I tried... I'm s-on and hboot relocked.
That's what I get:
Code:
C:\Android>fastboot flash boot boot_signed.img
sending 'boot' (4310 KB)...
OKAY [ 0.883s]
writing 'boot'...
(bootloader) signature checking...
FAILED (remote: signature verify fail)
finished. total time: 1.466s

Damnit!!!
you need to unlock bootloader again before flashing boot.img or recovery

done...unlocked, flashed boot_signed.img and tried to boot. Always bootloop.
Then flashed recovery_signed.img and tried to boot... again that f***ed bootloop. Starting to hate HTC splash screen!!!!
do you still get the "FAILED (remote: signature verify fail)" error? If so theres something wrong here. And do flash a custom recovery like 4EXT. it should then be recovery.img not the signed one
I accidentally hit the factory reset option while in the bootloader. After this my phone would not boot past the HTC splash screen, and I couldn't boot into the recovery (it would just boot loop). So, I decided to reflash the RUU to get out of the loop, This worked fine except for the fact that now in the boot loader the "dirty racun" banner has been replaced with the "locked" banner and I can't install a custom recovery, when I type in the fastboot command to push a recovery I get an error saying it failed. Anyone have any ideas? I was going to redo the bootloader unlock script that team fireballas wrote but I couldn't log into htcdev.com to get the unlock.bin file. I also retried the rabies shot from unlimited.io but it said the racuns had already been released. It appears that I have s-off but the bootloader is locked again.

You need to download the eng hboot (dirtyracun) from unlimited io website and flash it you can easily do this through the bootloader by naming the zip PJ53IMG and booting into the boot loader or you can do it through fastboot.
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
