bout to find out cuz i cant get it to do anything but load up fastboot trying to get into recovery dont work trying to factory reset from fastboot dont work
did you reflash the recovery, cause if you can't get into it then there must be something wrong with it.

So what does that mean you can't flash a recovery? Did you try running the RUU?
I'm pretty sure what I pushed was an ruu it said all kinds of stuff was installing it was an 2.0.6 maybe it wasn't an ruubut just the update but every time I try to use adb it won't find the device
Sent from my HTC6435LVW using xda app-developers app
So you know I can wipe the entire device including formatting the recovery, boot, system whatever doesn't matter as long as hboot is in place. As long as I can boot hboot I can recover it as well. Its difficult to trash the device as long as hboot works. Most of these problems are related to the drivers not being installed properly. Most users say they already know this but I'm gonna say it anyway fastboot and adb use different drivers.

An RUU is a windows .exe that you well run from windows. It will restore the device to factory but you wont loose S-Off. Once S-Off always S-off.

If you have windows try the 1.15 RUU from this thread.
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2293919
But you need to check your drivers and make sure you have the correct on loaded in Hboot or it wont work. You may also need to flash the ENG-Hboot before you can restore with the RUU. I don't have a windows machine here so I can't tell you exactly what the driver is but I think its something like composite fastboot device or something (when in hboot).
I can't get into the internal sd to move that file unless I can adb push it somehow

It's not something you flash...
I did the revone s off so when I got my new one I would know what to do it was simple and then did the s on but it still said s off and locked so I did the s off and tried to or did install twrp from goo manager but I thought the install was to fast but it rebooted into recovery and it didn't fit the screen so I wiped everything and tried to go back to stock and this happens
Edit I'm running the ruu now the phone it stopped and says the Rom update utility cannot update your android phone please get the correct Rom update utility and try again

I recently ran revolutionary on a HTC Thunderbolt, and the process finished...It is now S-off. I installed CWM, and was going to install SU and flash a ROM. But the volumes keys don't work with any consistency so I could not maneuver. It eventually tried to update itself OTA and the phone bricked. It would shut down right after it booted up, I then flashed and old RUU, and now have no recovery. I am completely frustrated with this Phone, what can I do. I have tried flashing TWRP recovery, but it just installs over and over, I need to install a recovery and at this time are unable to do so.I am still running a stock ROM, but I am S-off, Is it possible to flash a ROM out of bootloader, as that is all I can access right now. IS their a Linux unbricker for this phone, as there is for others.
Currently it freezes on the HTC splash screen, and when I can get into the bootloader, I can not access recovery or any other options except HBOOT
Have you tried installing a recovery using ADB, and then downloading a Rom on your pc, copy to your SD, and then install from the recovery you pushed to it? Not sure if that's how you tried installing the recovery or not..

Don't know how, but I would try anything.
Now that I think more on it that probably won't work.. I'm not too familiar with ADB pushing and such but that might be the way to flash a different Rom in hboot. Try looking into the thunderbolt tool from the development section and see if there's anything I'm that program that could help you

Doesn't the phone have to actually be able to boot in to the ROM to use the Thunderbolt tool, it just freezes as the Splash screen
I'm not sure. The tool is a program you install on your computer. I've personally never used it before, haven't had the need. In one of the screen shots there is a "unbrick menu" followed by coming soon but I'm not sure if it's been updated or not. There is also a recovery installer menu

It is possible to flash a ruu following the same steps
Sent from my Thunderbolt using xda app-developers app
I was able to flash the latest ClockworkMod but it still won't boot, I flashed the RUU back to stock, but is still sticks at the splash screen, but it does skip the HBOOT each time, since I have a protected HBOOT from revolutionary when I rooted the phone and got to s-off.
I have to figure out out how to install a stock HBOOT and start over from what I read.
Sorry I couldn't have been more help, that's everything that I can think of. Good luck!
Sent from my Thunderbolt using xda app-developers app
I have a solution...I was able through ADB to roll back the HBOOT to the non protected mode that it was put in when I rooted the phone, and was able to flash a Stock recovery through ADB. I then rooted the phone and gained s-off which gave me control once again.
I think when he took the OTA it wiped out his recovery & root.
I am just glad that I got it fixed.
Long story short, had a party at my house. The phone was stolen and wiped, OS entact, then sold on craigslist. Whoever bought it on craigslist, soft bricked it. Returned it to the seller who then found out it was mine and returned it. It was retrieved by my sister and was returned to me with the Splash Screen on with the red HTC developer warning at the bottom. Good news, phone is back. Bad news, its soft bricked.
So i go through a few of my options.
1) Recover a NANDROID
Internal SD completely wiped and External is missing
2) Load a NANDROID that I had saved on the computer onto a buddies external SD and recover
Loads to Splash Screen, goes to blank and returns to splash infinitely
3) Try the new DirtyRacun S-OFF
Cannot move past Step 13 because of symptom from #2 above. So now Im thinking that this may be because this method puts the original RUU on the device. I had CM on it at the time, which was flashed using Flash GUI, Im assuming the CM Kernal is still on the device and the Stock RUU wont match with the CM Kernal.
4) Flash CM
Same symptom as #2
At this point all I can do is ask the masters on the XDA forums (all you guys). The forums have totally helped me in the past but this is my first post. So, Im not to a noob to rooting and its involved processes, but, by no means am I an expert. Any kind of help would be greatly appreciated. Some other things that may help are this I have a feeling that the Internal SD may be unmounted but Im not sure. I am unlocked and S-ON I was running a recent nightly CM flashed using Flash GUI. My recovery is TWRP 2.2. Also, Ive tried to search for soultions on the forums but havent found anything similar to my particular situation. If i could get a reference to different post that would be awesome too.
might try the recovery tool from original dev section
it was looking like a good resource for soft bricked phones.
since there's the racun s-off now you could maybe dev-re-lock and do the official ruu to 2.13 just to get to complete stock and a working phone
Also could try flashing stock pj75img from bootloader and starting fresh. I had to do this once when my system partition corrupted on me somehow and it saved my butt. It will overwrite anything left on your phone, kernel included.

what would that involve. i only know how to flash stuff from recovery. how would you do it from the bootloader.?
If you are on 1.12 bootloader use this link to dl, rename file to pj75img.zip only, place on an external sdcard and reboot to bootloader. Bootloader will automatically find the pj75img.zip and ask if you want to update, follow directions from there (it could take a bit and will reboot a few times and even look like it's doing the same thing over again) let it do its thing reboot and voila... Back to working stock.. If you are on a newer bootloader you will have to search for pj75img.zip that matches your loader (1.15 or 1.19) I'm at work or I'd look for the others.. Good luck bud, hope it helps..

adb reboot=bootloader does nothing.

This might be a no brainer question. Did you try holding the power button for 30 seconds then let go for 10 seconds and try turning it on? I had a similar issue but it wasn't near as bad as yours mine would freeze and just show black screen and flashed the buttons. All I did was restart the phone but it took awhile just to restart the phone like 5mins minimum

You did say you're S-off, correct? If so I suggest running VipeRUU if you can get the phone to boot at least to the bootloader. It will put you back totally stock, unrooted & S-on. You can then re-root your phone.

If you think you gotta trick or two i can try I am appreciative and all ears/eyes,.. Thank You!
So here is my take on this whole situation...
You are s-on(unless you used MoonShine or DirtyRacun to gain s-off) that's why none of the roms flashed
Messing with the downgrade tool most likely did some damage depending on how far you got(it's been a while since I have read the thread but IIRC this tool purposely bricks your phone to enable you to downgrade your hboot) to achieve s-off using LazyPanda for hboot 1.15 and 1.19 before FacePalm and DirtyRacun became available.

All that sounds like it makes sense now. I was already s-off and didnt need a downgrade. I was ultimately looking to be updated as an end result.
i think i need drivers for windows cause it tries to load a driver when connected but fails.
also what about hboot_recovery or something i can use to come back alive?
Still black screen, Thanks!

I used a program for windows that can change the cid and i thought it was doing me a favor i think and thats what started it all. since I am not bricked I havent seen any problems like that. thanks for helping guys.
Hello guys,
I do realize there are tons and tons of threads of this topic, but I still decided to make a new one. That is mostly because the other ones are like 1,5+ year old, and most of them have comments of people that managed to get into bootloops, bricked their phones or whatever it is called (also happened to me).
I'm a total noob at rooting and doing stuff to my phone. I have only rooted it back in 2012, march. I put some "cool ics" or something like that on it, and now, I've decided to change to something new, better. But as I've seen I'll have to downgrade it, I tryed, but I got into a bootloop. So now I'm scared to do anything (I did fix it tho). Could you guys explain, or atleast post links to WORKING tutorials, please?
My hboot version is 1.53.0007, S-ON. The bootloader is unlocked. I have 4ext recovery, and I don't think it's rooted by revolutionary method (if that even tells anything).
So if you tell me to put some other recovery stuff on it, please also tell how to delete this 4ext thingy. xD
Thank you in advance, iShovel out
Lol same case over here... But I managed to do it all and now I'm on CM 10.02...
Go to forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1795934
In step 4 via direct link you will not find the file 'couse it's an old thread but search it on the web and download it, that way you don't need to download linux live cd, but follow everything else...
But before everything search a bit more because that tutorial is based on assume you have all the programs and drivers installed...
If U get in trouble just ask

Thank you very much! But it says it will put the phone on version 1.49.9999. Can I put that PACMan thingy on, if it's on 1.49.9999? I mean, I've been thinking about the PACMan, but I honestly really don't know which one to choose, since there are so many. Any suggestions? I've been looking for something that speeds up the phone, doesn't need 3D camera, and is generally good...
Don't know about pacman haven't tried it... I'm using CM 10.2 from Johnnyslt and it's awsome for me...
About your HBoot, look at the first link I gave U, there is another step in which U flash and get 1.43.0007

I do have a question - if I want to install this Leedroid GB ROM, and I already have cool ics, do I have to uninstall it first to put the other rom on? And if yes, how do I do that?

First of all, make sure that is based on htc sense rom then copy the rom in your sd card, else the phone go in bootloop.
I guess you already have 4EXT recovery, so go in bootloader mode (Volume down+PowerOn. It's a white screen) and enter in the recovery.
Make sure you have the smartflash feature enabled. Go in tools and enable it.
Make a nandroid backup (it's a full backup)
Wipe cache and all that the developer say in the rom thread.
Now you have to install the new rom Install from sdcard, find the zip and install it
Thank you
But once again, the noob I am, I managed to screw something up. I'm now at steps 10-11. At first, when I ran that controlbear.exe as administrator, it got stuck saying something like "setling your device...please wait..." (it didn't say exactly that, but I forgot what it said). I rebooted phone, tryed steps 7-10 again, and now it's stuck on "searching device" in command prompt -.-' Any ideas whats wrong?
And I feel so bad right now, since I can't do anything correct...not once...
EDIT: TRYED RUNNING CONTROLBEAR ONCE MORE, IT WORKS NOW!! it tells me to do the wire trick! ok guys, now wish me luck, because if I screw this up, then...
Let us know!
Well...I've, done the wire trick, but when I turned on my phone, there was just black screen with "JuopunutBear" text on it, and a green arrow + phone. So I said to myself, it's probably ok, that I just need a rom. So i installed PACman rom + gapps, and there is still this black screen with "JuopunutBear" text on it....what do I do now?
Connect the phone and execute controlbear once more, it woked for me, forgot to say because it doesn't say in directions

It says:

Found backups!
Device S-OFF already!
Quit.....
Press enter to quit....
And nothing happens, still on the black screen with "JuopunutBear" :/
OK, now go to hboot and see if your hboot is changed, then go to recovery, wipe everything except SD card, flash cm10 and gapps
Sent from my Evo 3D GSM using xda app-developers app
It is on S-OFF, 1.49.9999, I wiped, I installed PACman & gapps, and I'm back at black screen of JuopunutBear
Ahh these ****ty instructions lol, try this: remove battery, remove SD card and then turn on the device and see if it will start normally
Sent from my Evo 3D GSM using xda app-developers app
It does not - the god damn JoupunutBear still shows up.
Wait, after wire trick did u flash hboot 1.49.007? It will remove joupunut bear logo and hboot 1.49.999
Sent from my Evo 3D GSM using xda app-developers app
Ooooooh, that might have been the problem, yes. xD I thought I read that you can flash PACman with 1.49.9999...So is there like another guide to get to 1.49.0007?
No need for another guide, just find and flash zip file with hboot 1.49.007, I flashed it myself hoping that this would remove controlbear image and propperly boot the phone and it did, after that flash cm10 and gapps, don't forget to wipe before flashing ROM...
Sent from my Evo 3D GSM using xda app-developers app
And once again, there's a ****load of different methods and stuff to get to 1.49.0007. Do you think http://htcevohacks.com/htc-evo-3d-hacks/how-to-downgrade-to-hboot-1-49-0007-on-htc-evo-3d-gsm/ will work? If not, could you please paste something that will actually work? I've already bricked my phone once trying to do that thing...
Yep I checked, hboot 1.49.007 is installed, find it and flash

Hi I am needing some help with my phone. i soft bricked it a while back and it has been stuck in a bootloop ever since.
Important things to know.
it is ***locked***
monarudo pvt ship s-on
hboot-1.33.0001
radio-1.01.04.0308
OpenDSP-v6.120.274.0114
eMMC-boot
okay so i have tried using the RUU on my phone but it is giving me the error 158 because it says i don't have to correct ruu for my phone. secondly i get the FAILED (remote: 12 signature verify fail) error when i try to flash anything in in fastboot. so everywhere i have seen someone post about this they are told to try to go to s-off using moonshine but the problem is that my phone will only connect to fastboot and not to bootloader so i can't use ADB which you have to use to work with moonshine. if i could please get some help on this it would be greatly appreciated.
First thing first I'm guessing u have no ROM on your phone. Sense u in a bootloop?

no it was never rooted nor did it have a custom rom
if i go to recovery it bootloops, if i go to factory reset it bootloops, it is honestly acting like there is no rom and no recovery there at all. the only thing it will connect with my computer with is the fastboot and even then it won't let me flash anything in and it won't accept the RUU. i am just incredibly confused.

Are u sure it's never been rooted with a custome recovery or did this happen while trying to root/soff? Because what ur saying doesn't add up. I had a similar problem awhile back while trying to flash a Rom. It kept failing over and over. On my last attempt the recovery crashed and somehow became corrupt. So I was stuck with hboot and had nowhere to go. I ended up fastbooting a new recovery & downgrading hboot to the one compatible with the only RUU available.
You need to downgrade the hboot and then RUU. Then you can moonshine.

That's what I'm saying. Did u buy it on a site or from someone because pretty sure there is no possible way it could just have no ROM.

yes i am pretty sure it failed during trying to flash moonshine. i have tried to flash things in as i stated above but nothing will go in because it is saying its not the correct signature.

The link ThayIO provided is basically what I did.
If you are unlocked the command is: fastboot flash recovery (drag & drop the recovery image into the command window) and press enter.

yes but the problem with that is that as i stated above i have no way of unlocking and am currently locked so i have no way of doing that.

Sounds like you guys are screwed. Had the same issue and claimed warranty on the device. Until a new RUU leaks i think you are stuck having to go the JTAG route. I dont think theirs any other fix unfortunately
Flash stock hboot, then ruu

like i said i am unsure on the exact details. it just doesn't make sense that i can't use my bootloader and then my fastboot commands are pretty much useless.. if i only had a way to flash in a recovery or the stock hboot it would work
Your only option is to achieve s-off. You can't do anything in fastboot without it. Until then your SOL
