Issue the fastboot command again, make sure all of the files are in the same directory where you have adb... Try another usb port/cable... I never had that issue, what version of Windows?

It's an RUU, there are no other files. possible driver issue maybe? I'll try a different usb cable.

some more info.....I see it has hboot 2.09.0000 and is flaged as tampered with and s-on. I think it was s-off at some point but re-locked. Keep in mind I'm not real familiar with this device, but have modded many. My friend just wanted me to help him get it back stock/unrooted. I thought it would be easy enough to flash an RUU but that's not getting me very far.

An RUU won't put the device back S-on but it will relock the bootloader. If you want to put the phone back totally stock and S-on get S-off and use VipeRUU. The link is below:

You may have misunderstood or I was unclear. It is currently s-on. I think it was s-off at one point and rooted but is now back to s-on In his attempt to return it back to stock.

Nah, I understood you. If you want to get rid of the tampered flag and get back totally stock VipeRUU can do that for you, unlike a regular RUU.

Hey All,
I am trying to install the OTA for ICS that was released by Rogers today for my EVO 3D.
I am rooted and unlocked but with the stock Rogers ROM and I also have S-OFF.
The problem I am running into is that I am able to download the upgrade but when I go into HBoot and try to apply it I get a signature verification failed.
Originally I thought it might have been a bad download so I downloaded it a 2nd time, same result.
So I thought, what the hell, I will turn off the signature check and try it again. This time I get an error that the 'assert failed: check_cid(getprop("ro.cid").' and the installation aborted.
Does anyone have any insight into why this would fail? I am hoping to apply this but not sure why its a no go.
Thanks for the help in advance.
Cheers, Crash
Have you ever changed your cid? run "fastboot getvar cid" and post what it says. If your cid is original for rogers, the ota may not be working because you are s-off.
Hey @patrick92260
I have not checked my CID, not really sure how actually.
In order for me to run that command I would have to be hooked up to ADB I assume? If so thats going to need to wait until I get home tonight to try that and give you the results, unless there is another way I can run that command?
Thx for the reply
Yeah it's done through ADB. If you don't really know what the cid is, you probably haven't changed it. If you have the stock recovery, then the reason the ota isn't working has to be because you are s-off. you will probably have to wait for an RUU to upgrade to ICS.
Makes sense then. Would setting S-ON make it so I can apply it? Or would that not be worth the effort?
Honestly I can wait a bit longer, we have been waiting this long for it
Thx for the help.
But you should be able to get back to S-ON by flashing Gingerbread RUU, no?
If you originally used revolutionary to get s-off, then you have radio s-off which is the highest level of s-off you can have and i would not recommend trying to set it back to s-on. i also have a rogers evo 3d and i am using the asian RUU ICS and it works fine while letting me keep s-off after flashing it so i would recommend using that RUU if you want ICS.

If he has radio s-off you can flash any RUU you want and it will not turn it back to s-on. Radio s-off is basically permanent since it removes the data in the S58 section of the phone. The fake s-off is the one you need to be careful with which is usually done by using a hacked hboot.

Bull**** Bull**** Bull****.
For getting OTA you need NOT rooted and NOT deodexed Stock-rom+stock recovery.
Don't try to make S-ON, it is great chance to brick the phone.
And your CID you can get with cid getter from the market.
Patrik, stop it plz.
Is there any risk or advantage to used to Asia one? Not sure I want to have that one my phone over the NA ones.
Would there not be a RUU or this Rogers release? Maybe I should just say the hell with it and just ROM it?

It's a toss up if the RUU for rogers or the europe ICS ever shows up here. I am using the asian one and don't really notice any difference over the rogers or europe update. If you have radio s-off you can always downgrade by flashing a gingerbread RUU if you don't like the asian ICS RUU.
I had to run the Rogers gb ruu 1.20.631.2. It then update to 631.3 when I checked for updates. I then booted checked for updates again and it updated to ics. Now I'm running official Rogers ics but as I said I had to roll all the way back 1.20.631.2 and update all the way up from there.
And it does update the hboot but you can downgrade it with ruu previously mentioned.

Somewhere in the development thread there is a thread with shipped ruus already covered to pg86img.zip. Just find the Rogers one and put it on the root of your sd card and boot into bootloader. It will detect it and install 1.20.631.2 then just manually check for updates under about phone. The first update should be 1.20.631.3 which is 9.35mb then xcheck again and it's the ics update around 306 mb. Sorry I can't link to it you'll have to search the development forum. I've had it since it was posted way back when on my phone.
Make sure it's renamed PG86IMG.zip

Ive tried to do this, after downloading it and putting it in the root directory of my phone. Hboot sees the image, stalls there for a few seconds then continues. nothing has happened. Ive tried installing it from CWM, no difference. I think i may need a bit more help then this. After it was detected, i did go and see if it was downgraded in the ABOUT, but it sits at .3 still.
Any ideas?
Okay, so for those people out there that are looking to do this, here's the functional way it worked for me (no errors, nothing happened during the update)
Download the .exe file,
EXECUTE the exe file from windows while the phone is plugges in. This will revert back to .2
Put phone into a wireless network once back up and running.
Update the phone as neccessary.
After the update, i noticed my Hboot when to 1.53.007. Now we just need to wait for a root.
Also, when i went into Recovery from Hboot, i noticed that it didnt do anything, sat there with a pic of my 3D and it had a red exclamation point. should that happen?
no luck
hi i have tried every method here with no go. i have s-on and phone is rooted. can some one post a working rom or something for the love of android!
looks like it was the bootloader it needs to be relocked using rootevo3dnew.zip. which will allow you to downgrade using the ruu file in windows. followed by the 2 updates in about phone and i got the ICS yay! if you have trouble search youtube for the video on "relocking evo 3d bootloader" it was easy, good luck ppl.
:crying:what do i do...
phone wouldn't start only can go into hboot or recovery and that's about it..
What did you do to get it into that state? Do you have a Nandroid? You could always flash a newer RUU as well

I ran into this when I re-locked the bootloader via fastboot oem lock, and if this is how you got there, you're OK. Just somehow get the OTA/RUU downloaded, renamed to PH98IMG.ZIP on your ext sd, flash HBOOT (twice, both flashes together maybe take 20 minutes) and then you should be totally stock and can re-unlock and root from there. My HBOOT does still say "TAMPERED", but everything works fine.
Yeah the tampered banner comes up when you install a custom recovery but but just follow the above post and you'll be back up and running.

First of all, you verified the MD5? If you are s-on, did you relock the phone? (if s-off no need to)
Did you ever flash the global leak? If so, use that again.
http://www.androidpolice.com/2012/0...ull-ruu-build-4-03-605-2-for-the-htc-rezound/
If not, you can try that one if you don't mind going up to that leak. Are you s-off? If you are then it won't hurt a thing. If you are s-on and you go to the global leak you won't be able to take the most recent OTA that came out a few weeks ago.
I have a similar problem, if I may piggyback off of this thread. I tried running the latest RUU and first got a security error, so I relocked it and ran it again. The second time I ran it I got "hboot is older than..." something else. I tried flashing a later hboot 2.27 but it doesn't change in the hboot menu, nor can I run the RUU.

Are you s-on? Does the RUU have an hboot that's older than the one your phone has? Which RUU are you trying to use?
Feralicious, thank you! Your question led me to try an older RUU and it worked. From what I've gathered, I cannot update the HBOOT to 2.27 until I'm s-off. I never attempted that, but will some day.
I have spent many hours on this and can't figure it out.
So my bootloader screen first said

then I found an RUU that was .12 I believe (I was .10 before) and it ran. It said congrats and all. Still on the loop. I tried factory reset, nothing. Ran it two more times. Shutdown computer, reset. Nothing
The screen says this now.

Is there something else I should try? I would try a newer RUU but I can't seem to find one. The only other one I found seems to be a leak. If that's what it takes to make it work, I will, but I know sometimes it's not good jumping to the newest if you're on an older software.
I was hoping there was just a stock rom somewhere that I could push through fastboot but that seems to be a nogo. Any other suggestions?

My phone (stock) is stuck in a HTC logo screen bootloop. I have been reading on this for a week. Suggestions are to download the RUU and flash it. Well, I did that. It even acted like everything worked with the congratulations screen and all. I moved from .10 to .12 and it still is not working. Stuck on the HTC screen.
I tried it numerous times, reset the phone, master reset, no go.
Then, the only other suggestion some had was to run
fastboot oem rebootRUU
fastboot flash zip rom.zip

ramjet73,
you seem very wise on these subjects. I saw you help someone in 2012 for them to get the correct RUU for their device, I was trying to load the RUU 1.13.652.2 which would be a down grade cuz I am currently at 2.95.652.5.
bootload is relocked
S-ON
rooted
my cid is SPCS_002
mainver is 2.95.652.5
Can you provide a link to a ruu that I can load on my device? I just want it to complete I am not picky with what version I end up with.
I am trying all of this in attempt to fix a very annoying wifi problem where it disconnect intermetidly and when it is connected it runs at 0.2 mbs. but with the point I am at now, i just want a working phone, hopefully with wifi not messed up.
Thanks for your help!
You need to relock your bootloader before running RUU and you cannot run an older RUU with S-ON
you need to get S-OFF
What ROM are you on, stock?
I am assuming you're hboot 1.58 too
Unfortunately in your situation if you want to run ruu, you need s off first.
The version your phone is upgraded to, there was never an ruu.
Are you on virgin or sprint?
You can get s off with a stock ROM, you don't need to run ruu, like most guides say to.
Once you have s off you can get the ROM.zip from that ruu and rename it to a pg86img.zip and flash through boot loader. That will put you back to stock ics before the last few updates

I'm hoping the wisdom of the XDA crowd can show me the way. My EVO 4G LTE was unrooted, fully stock when I ran the new RUU from Sprint. It got stuck and never completed. It sat overnight, with the sliver HTC logo against a black background. The program stopped responding on my laptop. So, I disconnected. I am able to get into HBOOT screen. I can reach the phone through ADB when connected in Fastboot. I have also been able to load TWRP and CWM, but image files won't take. I cannot get the phone to load past the white screen with the green HTC letters.
I figure that I have no more OS. But, I cannot do anything else because while I have unlocked the bootloader, I still have S-ON. I have HBOOT 2.10 as well.
I cannot mount the storage from the laptop, but I do have an external SD card I can swap in and out.
I know there are ways I can get to a new ROM with HBOOT 2.10, but it seems they all require S-OFF. I can't figure out how to get S-OFF.
At this point I would just like a working phone. Where do I go from here?

I cannot mount the storage from the laptop, but I do have an external SD card I can swap in and out.
I know there are ways I can get to a new ROM with HBOOT 2.10, but it seems they all require S-OFF. I can't figure out how to get S-OFF.
At this point I would just like a working phone. Where do I go from here?

To gain s-OFF you'd need to be on 3.16 firmware if you don't want the hassle then redo the RUU a different way which is that link V

Thanks for the link. That kind of worked. The first rom_1.zip that I renamed didn't work...Gave me an error that said "Wrong zipped file!" I tried it with the other file, just to see, and that seemed to work. It was able to parse it and flash it. However, when I rebooted, I am still stuck on the white HTC screen.
Is there any way to downgrade the firmware to 3.16 from fastboot or recovery? I can still access CWM.
Not unless you're S-off, no.

No.
Have you tried running the RUU again from the bootloader, or have you tried flashing a ROM?

I was trying to figure out how to run the RUU from the bootloader, but couldn't figure it out. How can I do that?
Connect via Fastboot USB mode and start the RUU just like you did when you ran it previously.

Yes - I've done that. Putting it into Fastboot USB was the only way my laptop could recognize the phone. I could try to flash a rom, but I wasn't sure which one would work with the HBOOT/firmware version I have.

If your Hboot and firmware match the new layout you can try and flash one of the new Android 4.3 Sense 5 ROM's.
I'll keep looking for one that doesn't require S-OFF. All the ones I've found so far require it.

Any luck? I know there are aosp roms that work on the new layout. Not sure if they require s-off

Hboot 2.10 S-off

No luck on that front, but Captain_Throwback came to the rescue and gave me the solution after a plea from help over at the Android Central forums. I had to relock my bootloader, then load on the RUU as a PJ75IMG.img in the root of the SD card.
The file was provided by Captain_Throwback - link is in the post here: http://forums.androidcentral.com/ht...te-coming-htc-evo-4g-lte-132.html#post3475940
Everything is working great now. It does feel like a new phone, to a certain extent - very fast.
