So this this how I bricked my phone after trying fix it myself - the result of my own stupidity. Anyway, here's what happened:
I had stock ICS rom from T-mobile (cid T-MOB009), uninstalled some system apps without making a backup - fail number 1.
Then I tried to update hboot from 1.24 to 1.25. Hboot updated but after rebooting I'm stuck at HTC logo. Then I figured out that's probably because of those missing apps.
Now I can't do anything, because bootloader is relocked. When I boot into bootloader I'm asked over and over again if I want to update hboot.
Is there any way to fix this mess?
Any help would be appreciated.
Can you use fastboot to unlock your bootloader again? Have to you tried to go to recovery and install a ROM?
Honestly, I'm afraid to do anything at this point... The thing is, when I boot into bootloader, the update starts and I can't go to recovery. If i remove update pack from sdcard, will I be able to enter recovery (custom recovery that I have)? I have a backup of custom rom (myonedx), but I don't know if it would install with t-mobile hboot - not sure if it matters.
Thanks for taking interest!
EDIT: Ok, so I removed update file and tried to enter recovery. A red triangle with an exclamation mark appeared. I guess no recovery then...

Try installing recovery again, plus what apps did you delete.
Sent from this bread toasting, toast toasting, waffle toasting, toaster.
But is it possible to install recovery if the phone is relocked? And I can't unlock it again, because it won't reboot to system.
I can't even remember which apps - it was months ago. Mainly some t-mobile stuff...

Ok, I'll try, but which recovery should I install now? With stock ICS rom, hboot 1.25 and backed up myonedx rom. Sorry for so many questions, but I just don't want to make things worse -_-

So you managed to manually update your hboot from 1.24 to 1.25. When you did the update, it put the JB boot.img and JB recovery.img. But your ROM is ICS and that is why you stuck in bootloop because you have a wrong boot.img
What you can do :
1. Boot to bootloader and re-unlock your bootloader with the previous unlock token that you have.
2. Flash an ICS boot.img then you can boot to system as you still have ICS ROM
3. Flash a JB recovery like the TWRP recovery 2.5.0.0 : http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2099513
4. You can restore the myONEdx nand backup if you wish to.
5. You can flash a JB ROM if you want to but you need to flash the JB boot.img too.
So the main thing here is re-unlock the bootloader then you can proceed with choices that you prefer
Thank you guys so much for replying!
@ckpv5 - I've been switching roms the last few days, because I had some issues with my SIM-card and wanted to see if it's a problem with rom or the device. I decided to change hboot while I was on stock ICS rom, so yeah - that was a huge mistake.
I managed to unlock bootloader again - at least it says "unlocked" on the screen. So now, how exactly should I flash boot.img if I can't get into recovery and which boot.img should I flash? I tried to use the files from your rom, ckpv5 - the ones for 1.24 hboot, but I'm still stuck on HTC logo. I'm afraid that this might have something to do with those deleted system apps... Or shouldn't that matter?
Again - sorry for stupid questions...

You've done no.1.
You don't need a recovery to flash a boot.img, as you can see the no.2 is before no.3. In fact you are not supposed to flash a boot.img in recovery.
If you are not familiar with fastboot command to flash a boot.img, just try this:
download the boot.img installer from my thread : http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=39281951&postcount=1
And the instruction is already clearly written there:

Open the Boot.img_Installer_RC4.0 folder and run the Install Boot.img.bat
OMG, IT WORKED! I used boot installer from your thread here: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2210619
Thank you so much for your help! Now I should be fine
Case closed.
Although, that first problem with SIM-card might still be there. But I got the phone working at least.
Thank you again :good:

You have to follow the instructions for flashing kernels, which can be found in the dev section.
Flash cwm then try flashing a rom...

As previously stated, you can't flash kernels through recovery (the kernel is in the ROM) without going through fastboot first. Read the sticky in the dev section on flashing with hboot 1.5, its fairly simple. Happy flashing!

So I followed the unroot your HTC unlocked evo guide, downloaded the RUU for the sprint evo 3d which I have, followed instruction and locked my phone again and now it just read the pg86img.zip, and i reboot it and it stays on the white HTC screen..... Please help thanks

RUU to stock
unlock with the HTCDEV method by following the steps here EXACTLY
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1239821
download Flash Image GUI from joeykrim (you can find links in apps forum or spend the .99 and buy it from the market)
put your desired ROM in the root of your SD card (using a file explorer or connect to your PC and enable USB)
run Flash Image GUI and point it to the ROM you want
Flash the image, it will tell you the file is too big and ask if you want it to index the file to find the kernel so accept that
when it's done reboot into recovery (you should have TWRP loaded now) and immediately flash the ROM you chose to pull the kernel from (wipe per instructions)
wait patiently, reboot, enjoy
I did it this way after moving from an OG EVO that was waaaay easier to root and flash, but once you've got it unlocked, using Flash Image is super easy to turn you into a flashaholic
good luck
Take the zip off card. I had this prob. Need to open cmd and push the img to card then send to fastboot then flash img thru cmd. Also have to use this method on any custom kernel rom to get it to get past white screen.

You should not have locked the phone madplaya.
Now follow the below steps:
Download any ROM or use any ROM that you have.
Download a superwipe tool ( not necessary if you want to manually wipe everything from recovery).
Download a custom recovery.IMG (cwm/twrp).
Now root ur phone
> open the ROM.zip (that you want to flash) and copy the boot.img from it to the fastboot folder , also copy the recovery.img to fastboot folder.
> open cmd prompt
> navigate to fastboot folder
> boot phone in bootloader
>select fastboot
> connect to PC (phone should say fastboot-usb)
> type command "fastboot flash boot boot.img"
> now type "fastboot boot recovery.img" (filename maybe different)
> Phone should boot into recovery ( make sure the red LED is lit up)
> now flash the superwipe tool.zip(or wipe everything manually if you dont have the tool)
> and then flash the same ROM from which you pulled the boot.img.......
Hope this helps...........

Hey bro instead of all this writing and waiting pm me and I'll give u my number so we can do this over a phone.
Download the RUU.exe rom to your PC plug your phone in turn on fastboot and run the .exe on your PC...
So what kinds of options do I have in Roms... I am assuming I can't flash aosp roms through twrp because it needs a different kernel?
Do i need to look for 2.3.4 roms if I wanna flash w twrp
Sent from my 3VO
You can flash whatever you want.. you just either need to use the Flash Image GUI to flash kernals before you install the rom, or boot the custom recovery image from fastboot usb which will allow full write permissions and you can install anything you want.
So i shouldn't load twrp through quickboot but instead I need to flash it again

I'd recommend CWM 4.0.1.4 instead of TWRP. I've been using CWM since the days of the CDMA Hero and I've not once had a problem with it, but recently there's been an increasing number of people having issues with TWRP not flashing things properly on hboot 1.5. obviously it's up to you what recovery you use, but if it were me, I'd go with CWM
Ok, I bet I prob can't flash it through ROM manager, huh....

CWM? no, you need to flash it through fastboot, just like TWRP. I'm not the right person to be telling you how to do that though, as I've only used fastboot once, and that was to root and flash CWM to my phone (I got lucky since my 1 month old phone came with hboot 1.3)
I had 1.4 on my old one....my replacement, sadly, does not...

Flash Image GUI works great. You can have teh rom zip on your sdcard and it will automatically pull out the kernal and flash it. When it asks you to reboot the phone, dont accept it. Manually hold down the power button to restart phone into recovery. Then you can flash your ROM. No need for computer.
Now I am having adb trouble.... when I type adb reboot bootloader it says device not recognized..... only diff is now I'm on a 4.0.3 from...?

yup - and foolishly i tried to nandroid - and now i cant boot regularly - it gets to the htc screen, then black w the lights on at the bottom....
go into fastboot usb and from command prompt type "fastboot boot recovery.img" (Recovery.img is the name of the custom recovery in the folder you downloaded to root your phone CWM***.IMG) Once you boot the custom recovery you can flash your rom.
Thanks...I will try that when I get home... I had been cd'ing to c-android-sdk-windows-tools and was typing:
adb reboot bootloader and then getting device not recognized
I was ultimately able to wipe and reflash my ics rom for now...since the aosp kernel was still in boot.img

Your need to go back ur ROM.zip file, and extract the boot.img. That is your boot.img... Any ROM got own boot.img.
So you not flash yet your BOOT.IMG.

You'll need to open the zip file of the ROM you've flashed and find the boot.img contained within. Then use Hasoon's AIO Toolkit for HOX+ to flash the kernel (the bottom left option).
For some more information, the boot.img contains the kernel and the ramdisk for the device and is flashed to the boot partition of the device. Because the HOX+ is still S-OFF, we cannot flash the ROM and kernel together. We must flash the kernel (boot.img) separately using a utility called fastboot; the toolkit automates this process.

If the toolkit is not working, you'll need to do it manually I suppose.
1. Find the folder in the toolkit that contains fastboot.exe and navigate to that folder in a command prompt.
2. Hold the power and volume down buttons until your phone reboots into a white screen.
3. Connect it by USB if it isn't already and type "fastboot devices" and ensure that your device is listed (will just be a string of letters and numbers).
4. Once that works, type "fastboot flash boot path/to/boot.img" (I would recommend putting the boot.img in the same folder as fastboot.exe to make things easier on yourself).
5. If that command is executed successfully, run "fastboot reboot" if your device hasn't already rebooted.

Can you get into hboot okay? You're s-off aren't you? Have you tried flashing another recovery? Or sometimes people can't get into recovery and sometimes have to do "fastboot erase cache" without the quotes. If you can't get into recovery at all and nothing will work after trying to flash a different recovery into it, try running a RUU.

Download the latest recovery img file of your choice and place it in your fastboot directory on your PC, and start HBoot and Fastboot, connect to USB and type:
fastboot boot recovery.img (replace "recovery.img" with the name of the custom recovery img file)

Have you tried booting a recovery, not flashing it?
Download the latest recovery img file of your choice and place it in your fastboot directory on your PC, and start HBoot and Fastboot, connect to USB and type:
fastboot boot recovery.img (replace "recovery.img" with the name of the custom recovery img file)
and see if you can start recovery... if you can, wipe everything (pay attention to possible emmc/internal SD flash failures, repeat until it doesn't error out) and flash a stable ROM and see if it boots

Wait. A internal EMMC failure doesn't cause a phone not to boot. On both my EVO 4G andOG Incredible have the emmc completely shot and still work perfectly. Plus I don't think you can fix a emmc internal error can you??

emmc is just a FAT32 partition on the internal 16GB SD "card", so it is possible if the internal emmc is corrupt that it could corrupt boot/system and cause a bootloop. Since it is just a partition, unless the hardware itself gets corrupted, you can usually find a work around for it.
I have been able to correct most emmc errors in the past, sometimes but just repeated formatting in recovery (or by switching recovery, often back to Amon Ra for a short time), or by doing a full RUU. The only phone I couldn't get emmc recovered on was an old HTC my friend had, but I can't remember the model, and it would bootloop if I recall correctly.
After some time my Inc2 started losing emmc almost every time I tried to flash a new ROM, just RUU back and then flash again and it was fine until the next time I tried to do a clean flash, then repeat and all was well.

Wait... so you are in fastboot mode on the phone, meaning in the display it says FASTBOOT USB in red, you connect to the USB and type "fastboot boot recovery.img" and you get nothing, no green bar on the phone, no error or anything?
What is the result of "fastboot devices" when in Fastboot mode on the phone?
yes i got green bar but cant boot to recovery
I am not sure what to say... Can you take a picture of your Hboot screen and post it please?

Unlock again and try to boot a recovery, or get TWRP/PhilZ zip and flash via PH98IMG.zip mode... With a relocked boot loader your recovery is locked from some fastboot commands...

But can you get into recovery now?
If not I am not sure what else to try... without being able to RUU or access recovery, and we have tried almost everything else there is to access it, there isn't much else that can be done that I can think of.
So I fell asleep, woke up, and noticed that the system ui had crashed. Rebooted my phone and the boot animation kept going and going. Pulled battery and went into recovery (4EXT Recovery). Wiped cache+dalvik. Rebooted. Same boot animation issue. Went into recovery again. Wiped cache+dalvik. Attempted to dirty flash the rom again (Villuminati CM11). It was taking an unusually long time and the last line said "installing update" or "unpacking update". Something like that. Took the risk and pulled the battery and turned it on normally. Stuck at boot animation again. Rebooted into recovery. Wiped everything except SD card. Stuck at formatting /system and /data. Rebooted into recovery again. Proceeded to wipe everything one by one. Cache and Dalvik wiped normally. Next up was /system. Stuck at formatting /system. Gave up. Came here. Please help
HTC Evo 3D CDMA (Virgin Mobile)
ROM: Villuminati CM11
hboot: 1.50.50
4EXT Recovery
Try a different recovery, pg86img.zip. also look up linux terminal commands to check and repair filesystem, can be done from recovery or adb shell.

Tried flashing a different recovery and rebooted into recovery, it's still using 4EXT. I even erased recovery using "fastboot erase recovery" and then flashed TWRP again, still loads up 4EXT. I did the repair filesystem within 4ext. I'm using Windows. I don't know what else to do and I'm stuck without a phone for now.

Use fastboot to boot recovery
Download recovery img to computer
then
fastboot boot recovery.img
recovery.img = recovery img file
best to have in same directory as fastboot.exe
Are you s-off?

Since you are s-off, install eng-hboot. Then try again, also just try to flash zip in fastboot mode.
