Did you know if it had an Engineer's HBOOT before? Writeflagsecure 3 is to remove S-OFF. You didn't need to do that to go stock.
Try flashing a recovery?
If this for insurance purposes? Just wondering what you're trying to do with your phone since it was working when you got it.

No offense, but you keep saying things like "i think" or I "believe"; if you want our help, we need to know if you did it or not.
What recovery were you flashing?
Basically, what I'm saying is you might have deleted your recovery since you're saying that you keep ending up on the bootloader. You need to flash a recovery into your phone. If this doesn't make sense, just let me know and I'll point you in the right direction.
EDIT:
Follow these directions and then select RECOVERY from your bootloader. Let us know what happens please.

I hear you, it can be overwhelming at first. I've been flashing since the WM 6.5 days and still don't know as much as some of the people here!
When you select RECOVERY, it's bringing you back to the BOOTLOADER screen, right?
If that's the case, the RECOVERY may have been removed, which is why I'm saying to flash a new one in. Did you follow the instructions on that thread I linked to?

Just saw this. No, you should be using fastboot commands, not ADB
fastboot flash recovery recovery.img
To begin, do you have the Android SDK installed on your computer? (Platform Tools)
You save the TWRP .img file in that folder.
Shift+Right Click on the folder and click Open Command Prompt Here
The phone should be connected to the PC
From the BOOTLOADER, go to FASTBOOT
It should say FASTBOOT USB
You can double check by typing 'fastboot devices'
Then run 'fastboot flash recovery recovery.img'
recovery.img will be named whatever your TWRP file is named
Then for good measure do 'fastboot reboot'
Now, you should be back in BOOTLOADER
Go to RECOVERY, and what do you see?

I've had no problems with 2.6 personally but either one will work. Once your in
Recovery you can download a ROM on your computer and on adb use.
adb push "C:\Documents and Settings\Josh\My Documents\Downloads\ViperDNA_1.3.5.zip" sdcard
Clearly that's how I would do it via my computer after you type adb push you can hit the space bar and drag the file to the command prompt and drop it there that will do the dirty work lol then you just hit space and tell it to install on the sdcard.
Dont let your phone or computer go to sleep or the push will corrupt the file it can take up to 10 mins to transfer the file and once you hit enter it won't acknowledge its actually transferring Dont worry it is. It will tell you when its done how long it took and how much it transfered. After that you can flash the ROM and you should be golden man!

Have you already unlocked your bootloader? Sounds like it's still looking for a signature, which indicates your hboot is still locked.

reboot into bootloader, make sure it says "fastboot usb" highlighted in red and the from the a command prompt type:
Code:
fastboot boot twrp-1.1.1-recovery.img
it doesnt flash the recovery permanently but you should be able to get into recovery this way
I have been screwing with my phone for over 4 days straight and I CANNOT figure anything out....Im so frustrated!!! I flashed a ROM and now I am in continuous bootloop mode. My clockwork mod is completely broke down, I can't backup my nand because it is on Amon recovery. but i can't figure out how to reinstall Amon through bootloader....since, when i restart my phone. i only get about 5 seconds to try and do anything before it bootloops.....PLEASE someone help me step by step. I need someone to comment back and stay posted on this thread for me....please I am on my last leg, I just want my phone to be rooted, a good recovery installed and thats all I'm asking for.....But the problem is, I have to do everything through bootloader because of the bootloop.....I want to get clockwork mod off my phone and reinstall Amon recovery.
Run the ruu of your choice and then while in fast boot do:
Fastboot flash recovery nameoffile.img

no you run the ruu first and what you flash in fastboot is the recovery
flashing a recovery:
Code:
fastboot flash recovery file.img
then flash a rom
i honestly can link you to a list of ruus because there not all in one place :/
also once the file is installed onto my PC, I have to extract that file to c:\android where I have fastboot located in correct???

If it's an exe file just plug your phone in and run it but if it's a zip file rename it to "PH98IMG.zip" and put it on your external sd card then reboot to bootloader.

You need to flash the kernel separately. Grab boot.img installer or use fastboot. Reboot the phone and hold power+volume down to get into the bootloader, then select recovery. I'm not familiar with boot.img installer but with fastboot you extract the boot.img from the rom and place it in the adb folder and with the phone in fastboot and in the terminal type fastboot flash boot boot.img

Because adb is for Android, fastboot is a command line tool that you run from hboot. Type fastboot devices instead and you will see you phone listed

You were trying to run android debug commands in hboot and you fixed it with a stock kernel? Because that's what my post is referring to
If fastboot and adb don't see your device, make sure you have JAVA installed. That's what confounded me, initially.
hurled from my AOKP'd Evo LTE. Enjoy.
Come to think of it, probably. I might have been in HBoot, and not in Fastboot... Good call.

That's because you have to change the path of where your cmd prompt is looking. If you haven't changed it then it wont find adb inside of sdk. change the pathway so it looks inside SDK then looks inside the tools folder or whatever folder contains the adb.exe. After its changed correctly it will find adb

Okay so i downloaded and unzipped, The instructions on the thread are very vague
So I think i need to use a backdoor or something cause I can't get my phone to boot into android
Quote:
Q: But what if I can't get into Android?? Surely there is something I can do!?
A: Yes, I designed a "backdoor" to allow you into VipeRUU. However, BE CAREFUL! This skips important checks that VipeRUU does when it start (most importantly, if your phone really is an EVO 4G LTE!) but it will allow you to do this procedure from the bootloader. All you have to do is create a text file in the "files" folder called "bypass.txt" and then start the program. You'll be alerted with a few warnings when doing this.
Also do I need to have the phone plugged into the computer or something. I am so sorry but I am very lost

I've never done this process myself, but I'll do my best to help you.
First: reboot into your bootloader, Hold down power key with volume down key until it reboots into the screen where you listed all that information. It should have a white bacground.
Second: Naviagte to fastboot and hit the pwoerkey
Third: Connect computer to phone with usb
Fourth: create a blank bypass.txt file and place into the file named "file" from the zip you downloaded.
Fifth: Run ViperRUU and select whichever option you need.

Are you running windows? Open up a command prompt and try to get su access through fastboot. You may not have high enough privleges. Also, do you have HTC drivers installed? Once you're inside the fastboot menu, don't touch anything. The reading on the top should say "Fastboot USB"

Here is the link to the latest RUU I wouldn't mess with VipeRUU if you are not sure what you are doing.
http://www.htc.com/us/support/htc-evo-4g-lte-sprint/news/
Do what BD619 says. I had hoped ViperRUU would work, but the stock HTC one is much easier to use and operate. Also I usually use Ubuntu in these situations due to how much easier it is to work things in Terminal than it is to use Window's command prompt. Just a thought in case you ever need to do something fastboot related in the future.

VipeRUU will work fine but he's still new this kind of stuff it can be confusing. It took me a couple tries to get it to work the first time I used it.

Do what BD619 says. I had hoped ViperRUU would work, but the stock HTC one is much easier to use and operate. Also I usually use Ubuntu in these situations due to how much easier it is to work things in Terminal than it is to use Window's command prompt. Just a thought in case you ever need to do something fastboot related in the future.

No matter what it's a bad sign if you need to RUU. Definitely something I never want to do. Means something major screwed up lol. Yeah I was gonna give him the regular HTC one until I read all the paranoid stuff the ViperRUU posted in his thread.

After the RUU finishes you will be 100% stock except for S-OFF...which I would leave in case you catch the bug and wanna start modding your phone in the future

so trying to unlock bootloader on my m9,I get to the part where it says to copy device token and I click mark and try coping just the token key and I cant just copy the key, it only lets me copy everything and I have no idea how just to high light the key with out the bootloader and other stuff,Im running windows 10,I tried googling it and not finding anything on just coping certain text and not the whole line
Right click in CMD. click Mark, hightlight text with mouse. ctrl+c or move mouse to the top of window(white area with little CMD image) right click again, edit, then copy
Thanks,I will give that a try when I get home.trying to do it last night it was high lighting everything not just the key

As far as I know only way for S-OFF is through Sunshine (25.00) or a javacard(very expensive).

You have to be in Download Mode ( Black screen) not bootloader ( white screen)
OK thought I was when I get back home I will try it again and thanks for all your help very much appreciated!

Since I have boot loader unlocked twrp installed but still have s on (not working causes of knee surgery and money is tight)am I able to flash custom rom?from what I've read,I think I can but would like to know for sure so I don't boot loop or anything.

yes you can, just have your firmware upto date and custom recovery installed, download the rom of choice put on your sd card boot to recovery and flash away.
