Hi all,
Here are my steps so far:
Unlocked bootloader using htcdev website
Installed TWRP recovery: openrecovery-twrp-2.6.0.0-jewel.img using flastboot.
Installed stable build Cyanogenmod 10.0.0: http://download.cyanogenmod.com/?device=jewel&type=stable (side note: I've also tried the latest Nightly and M snapshot)
Factory wiped device
Rebooted
Stuck at the CyanogenmodMod boot splash screen. The icon animates and I've waited about 10 mins but never gets to the desktop.
Here is what I have in the hboot screen:
Jewel PVT Ship S-ON RL
HBOOT-2.09.0000
RADIO-1.12.11.1210
OpenDSP-v31.1.0.45.0815
eMMC-boot
Oct 18 2012, 15:46:20
Of course I forgot to backup my original ROM, so I tried installing a stock ROM and now phone is stuck at "HTC quietly brilliant" page x_x
I looked through http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1869377 but I'm still confused as how to recover my phone. I still can get into hboot and install different ROMs.
Sorry being a dummy and thanks for helping!
Being that you're S-on, you would need to flash the kernel separately for Cyanogen. Download viper or meanbean as they are S-on friendly. Follow their instructions for flashing. Get up and running and consider going S-off.

Take a look at the link in my sig. I have a guide on how to flash ROM's while S-on.
It's highly advised to get S-off

Hi guys,
FinZ28:
I read your S-On Kernel flashing:
From hboot I set my device to fastboot displayed fastboot usb, however I was not able to see my device under fastboot devices on my pc. The fastboot flash didn't work either. I can't install TWRP Dumlock because I can't boot into anything Am I missing a step to get fastboot to work? I have HTC Sync installed.
atheistevofreak: I tried the viper rom but it reboots in the middle of installation then gets stuck on the HTC splash screen.
Anyway around all this mess? ~_~

Try downloading and flashing MeanBean. Make sure you follow the instructions to get it installed properly. Flash the ROM zip, then reboot. The phone will boot to the HTC splash screen, then automatically reboot to recovery. Flash the ROM zip again, and you should be good to go, just give it a few minutes to boot up. As far as issues connecting with fastboot devices, it sounds like a driver issue. You may also want to try rebooting your phone and computer:thumbup:
You do have ADB set up on your computer, right?

FinZ28: you're the freakin man! :highfive: "fastboot flash boot boot.img" worked like a charm. I plugged phone into another computer and it immediately made the usb connected sound and I was able to see it as a device under "flashboot devices".
Last question: Is it safe to get S-Off on Cyanogenmod or do I need to install a stock rom? What's the best method for cyanogenmod users? Thanks!

Stick to a fairly stock ROM for S-off. Once you're finished you can flash whatever ROM you like. You'll need to use Moonshine to gain S-off on your phone, so head over to the Original Development section and take a look

Hi guys,
Resurrecting this post
So I decide to go for S-Off now there is a new stable release for the Jewel. I installed MeanBean and ran Moonshine (moonshine_jewel_3.16.651.3) on it. I got a weird message at during the moonshine process ("WTF: What are you doing?"), however when I rebooted my phone I saw S-OFF, so I guess everything went well *enough* .
Next, I installed Cyanogenmod (cm-10.1.3-jewel.zip). Everything went fine and I didn't have to manually flash the boot.img this time ^_^.
However, my cell reception does not work anymore! I can't make/receive calls or get the internet with my phone. What happened? Does something need to be updated that I missed?
Thanks again guys!!

Did you have service on your phone after you completed the S-off process? Many times, after S-off, you have to call Sprint to have them refresh your service. You'll need to be on a Sense ROM. Afterwards, you can go back to CM.
You can also try updating your profile.

Hi again FinZ28!
I didn't check after getting S-off if I still had service. However, after I switched back to a Sense ROM, Meanbean, I did not have service. I tried a few things and it magically started working. When I installed Meanbean this time, it asked me to activate my phone, which it succeeded. Because I didn't have 3G service I couldnt update my profile or PRL, however over Wifi I was able to. After the two updates I restarted the phone I got voice service but not functioning 3G service, although it showed "3G" at the top I was not able to load pages. So I tried calling Sprint Customer Service, which is *2, which actually take you to an app called Sprint Zone. Within that program you can check if you have voice or 3G service, which confirmed that I didn't have 3G service. However after another update profile and another restart the 3G started working. I restored my CM install and after a 2nd boot (first time didnt work), everything worked fine
Conclusion: thanks again guys especially FinZ28! Looks like Update Profile/PRL needs to be done a few times with restarts in between before it starts working after S-Off.
Glad you got everything working:thumbup:

See the Guide/flashing Notes in my signature. You need to rerun the currently installed "FULL" Ruu or the the Latest RUU, then the unlock will work.
I did the HTCDev and unlocked it went to thread on downgrade from 1.5 hboot to 1.4 tried that and it did not work. I went to try the wire trick and this is what I get when I try to use the controlbear. the phone connects and goes through process but says the following...
======== ControlBear 0.6 beta for JuopunutBear S-OFF ==========
Starting up......

Searching device.....
Found device.....but device has no root!!

Any help would be helpful I have tried superuser but wont install, tried rootevo3dnew, temproot sensation Ect. everything says I need to be rooted.
I am running stock rom that shipped with phone and yes I did updates. I am Sprint CDMA 2.17 rom shipped, 1.5 Hboot. I have flashed roms and modded before but dont consider myself to be advanced. I have done flashing and installing roms with my old HTC Touch pro2 but alot easier on touch pro2 LOL... Please point me in the correct place I have beeen all over from this thread to that one and back and forth and yes I have search threads and I have tried them but still come back to the one with wire trick..

Ok, let's make sure we know where you are at to start with. When you use the vol and power button to boot to fastboot, does the phone show "unlocked". If not, I think you need to do the htc method again. I have not kept up recently, but I am not sure there is any method other than the HTC method that works every time for 1.5. I have used the HTC method on two phones without a problem, so that is the method I use.
Once you get that far, I used adb to push or flash the twrp image into the recovery section of the phone. Then you should be able to flash superuser via the install menu of twrp. There are threads that have detailed explanations on how this is done.
Yea, I had a bit of a learning curve from my TP2 also, but love this phone!

In my post Ive included a flashable SuperSU zip. What youll need to do is boot to recovery and install this zip. Then reboot. You should have superuser access then.
Still learning this forum so excuse any errors I make. I've spent the last 10 hours trying to fix the mess I created on my wife's Evo 3d. I was able to root my phone and it was relatively easy so I tackled hers as well and have gotten a bootloop I cannot figure out, 10 hours later. I'm on hboot 1.5. I unlocked the phone (using a pretty reliable video), loaded 4EXT Recovery then tried to load roms. Everything worked fine until the rom-loading portion. Since then, the phone loops, but once or twice it made it all the way to the main screen and before I could slide the ring, a read error message appeared next to the bars of service then the phone just completely reboots. Right now, the only thing I can get into is the bootloader and the clockworkmod v4.0.1.4, somehow I lost my 4EXT Recovery. I'm stuck and in dire straights as my wife is going out of town and will KILL me if I don't fix her phone. Please help! BTW, somehow I managed to NOT back anything up (stupidity on my part). Will I be able to get this thing back to stock at least or is it now a paperweight?

Your not bricked by any means. And Im going to guess you tried to boot an ICS rom.. dont. They dont work with hboot 1.5. If you really want to go back to stock run the 2.17 RUU and youll be back to where you started. Another option is to download a GB rom and flash that. Not ICS. If your able to get to the bootloader than you can still load up 4ext recovery so you can flash the GB rom.
Edit: some hboot 1.5 users are lucky and can flash them if they used the correct VM firmware but majority of users have problems.

Thanks, I just tried flashing a rom that has taken it back to stock but I'm still in the bootloop. Should I stop flashing and simply locate the RUU?
22410,
It sounds like the kernel did not flash correctly with 4ext Recovery (next time, make sure u indicat S-on in its settings). I'm not sure if you were just stock 2.17 rooted or not, but use 7zip on your pc to open & extract/copy out the "boot.img" file from the rom, zip, etc you were using and copy it to your fastboot pc folder. Still have the Cwm 4.0.1.4 recovery.IMG file there too right (or the 4ext recovery.img file)? Ok...
- put phone in fastboot usb mode
From PC's fastboot command prompt type:
- " fastboot flash boot boot.img "
(this will reflash the kernel/boot image extracted from a rom)
If your recovery is screwed up:
- " fastboot flash recovery YourRecoveryFilename.img "
(ie: cwm_4.0.1.4_recovery.img or recovery.img, etc as listed in fastboot folder, to reflash a recovery to your phone).
With S-on, to properly enter a recovery for flashing ANYTHING you must:
- " fastboot boot YourRecoveryFilename.img "
(doesn't apply if using 4ext's Smartflash or TWRP's Dumlock settings. But you must have a bootable android OS/kernel first, once the flash is screwed it won't work).
If u have a Sprint CDMA EVO3D/HTC Unlocked & S-on (not Jbear s-Off), then the guide in my signature has more info.
Edit: as NIN said you will likely have problems flashing ICS roms with S-on (hboot version doesn't matter). If u are still unlocked & have a working recovery u can flash any gb Rom successfully after wiping system, data, & cache (or run superwipe zip). Meanrom GB v4.5 recommended.
Sent from my "Up all night, Sleep all day" EVO3D!
first off, I'm an idiot with this whole thing and shouldn't be doing it probably. i just don't know enough about it to be playing with expensive phones like this so i understand I deserve whatever i get.
i was running a custom rom on an S-ON phone. i forgot the name of the rom (was made by TEAM COOL or something). But I wanted to unroot and go back to normal stock ROM and download the JB update. First, in the SU app, I did a complete unroot. that did nothing except not let me use the app anymore.
then I tried doing the RUU way of going back, but when it would go to the loading bootloader portion, the usb would disconnect and it would fail with error 171.
so then, and i don't know how i got here, but i went into recovery and did a factory reset and now i have no rom. I have tried installing meanrom but it fails after some line regarding a kernal. my phone won't do anything except boot to the white HTC screen or into the bootloader.
i have no idea what to do, I just want it working at this point.
i've been searching forums like crazy but all the solutions are things I already have done or things that won't work for me.
If you haven't done so yet, you need to relock the bootloader before running ruu. Put your phone in fastboot and using SDK or ADB Tools, type fastboot oem lock

thank you for your help! however, whenever i do this, it just says < waiting for device >
so i finally got a rom to install--clean rom. that is the one i used to have. but when i reboot, it gets stuck on a black screen and won't go any further.
I had the same thing happen. Had to run a boot.img flash utility i found on another thread elsewhere on xda. The flash utility was updated for jb. If i can locate where i found it then i will get back to you.

Have you tried meanbean? It has the boot.img flash tool baked in for s-on, just follow the instructions to the tee in the OP... It's in the Android development thread... Good luck
Sent from my EVO using xda app-developers app
Sounds like you need to flash a Rom that has the s-on installer or fastboot flash the kernel for the Rom you have installed
Most roms come with the kernel installer built in now days. just keep trying to flash em. fyi if your phone turns on , even a little bit , you are not bricked
I am trying to flash meanbean. I wiped the cahes and did factory reset, then flashed the ROM. It's been on "Installing /system..." for about 30 minutes now. Something seems wrong. I'm scared to interrupt it in case that's normal or if interrupting it will break it for good.
Well, I think that might be because my twrp version is really old...2.1.8. I tried updating but had no luck.
Now nothing flashes. It gets to 'verifying partition sizes' then fails. Tried this on several roms that would previously flash, just not work.

lol how could he do that if he dont have any rom installed...dafuq?
You need to FASTBOOT install it:
Turn off your device. Turn on the device and keep holding volume down until a menu shows up. Select fastboot from the menu list. Plug the device into your computer. If you have the right drivers installed, your screen should now say FASTBOOT USB. Run the following command via the command line:
fastboot flash recovery TWRP.img

Can you get into bootloader? If so go to the TWRP website and download the hboot zip. Put on external sd card and enter bootloader.

Perhaps what is happening when you try oem lock and get that error is that adb is still running from a prior attempt or because of some other program. Try opening your task manager and ending all processes of adb and other programs that connect to the phone. Then try oem locking again and go from there.

I made a little bit of progress!
I determined that Windows 8 was the reason I get the usb malfunctioning message. I obtained a Windows 7 computer and it worked like a charm.
That said, I'm not out of the woods yet.
I relocked the phone using fastboot and then have been attempting to flash a stock RUU now that the usb issue is sorted out.
That seems to work but it gets stuck at "sending....." for as long as 35 minutes. I've tried about 4 times, giving between 20-35 minutes and it won't go beyond sending.
I can at least fastboot now; but the phone is locked. Which is fine; I just want back to stock anyways.

I flashed the 2.13.651.1 RUU by the way.
Any new advice haha?
I loaded a PJ img via sd card and it's alive and updating to JB OTA right now! Thanks for all the help over the past month folks
SOLVED!! Thanks to everyone, especially bigdaddy and FinZ! I will post something about what I did and what I used to get S-Off since it is actually really easy once put into easy to understands terms
Hey everyone,
Everything was going really as I was rooting my Evo 4G LTE this afternoon, until I realized I forgot to S-off. TWRP was installed and Superuser was flashed - Anyways, I got antsy and wiped the phone and flashed CM 10.1 and realized I forgot S-off - so of course, the phone wouldn't boot past the HTC screen.
I've been trying to flash stock roms to get into the superuser app, but none of them will load. They start to flash in TWRP, then the phone reboots to the HTC splash screen.
I am now unlocked, but still S-on. I can't flash any roms right now and was hoping someone might be able to help me out. I even tried the process all over again, but I get the same problem. So as of now, I can't get an OS on the phone.
Any ideas? Thanks.
Edit: I was running the latest OTA with HBOOT 2.09.

Flash meanbean or viper rom, both have s-on kernel installer and you should be able to get s-off using dirty racun or moonshine... Sharkie rom is a stock rom too with a s-on installer... Good Luck!

Question... How did you install your recovery? Goo manager, pj75img.zip, or fastboot? I have had this same problem and the only solution was to fastboot flash a recovery... Dunno it was very weird and has only happened on my lte but it's been months.

I installed it using fastboot. I'm going to try one of the ROMs suggested above and see if that works. I'll let you all know as soon as I do it.
I keep reading that Moonshine won't work with HBOOT 2.09 - and I haven't had any luck getting it to work; it still gives me connection issues saying it can't connect to the phone. It's weird... I can use the adb devices command in recovery mode and my device ID shows up, but when I go into fastboot USB and do adb devices, I can't get it to show up. If I could somehow get that to show up during fastboot, it would mean smooth sailing.
Update: I successfully installed Meanbean. However, I still cannot gain S-Off. Moonshine won't work and I do not know enough to use DirtyRacun since it must be used with Ubuntu. I'll post my Moonshine issues in that thread
Thanks for the help with this! It looks like it just needed a S-On ROM to be installed which I though I was doing before!
I've tried every single HTC driver available and I can't get anything to recognize the Evo when it's in fastboot. It only recognizes the device when the ROM is loaded and USB storage is enabled. Unfortunately, I can't get s-off (as far as I know) without being in the bootloader and using fastboot.
Anyone know how I can achieve this or how I can get everything to communicate with one another like they're supposed to?
Have you deleted all the HTC stuff on your PC rebooted it the plug you phone back in and it should load the drivers again
then boot into bootloader and it should load more drivers
also try updating your android-sdk
Make sure you have the most current HTC driver. At least one person that I know of had issues until he updated to the most recent driver, which can be found in the link below. Use the HTC driver from post #2.
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2179776
Also, like Bigdaddy said, make sure you have things like HTC Sync removed. Make sure you're using a USB 2.0 port, too. I don't know where you read Moonshine doesn't work with Hboot 2.09, because it does (specifically for the latest OTA).

All I can tell you is that it worked for me. AT&T Unlocked HBOOT 1.55, firmware 3.17.502.3, ROOTED... just like yours. After I ran rumrunner a prompt appeared on the phone screen that I confirmed with OK and that was it. The phone rebooted several times and ended up with LOCKED HBOOT and S-OFF. I had to unlock again with a new Unlock code from htcdev.

Did you do this on windows 8
Did u have to extract the rumrunner zip into a specific folder such as fastboot folder and run it from there?, did u need adb drivers it says if you htcdev unlock the adb doesn't need to be downloaded.
I mean of all else fails where's the exact files /links you used , there's to many variables here can you help any further ?
Why won't my phone keep rebooting past the 2nd fastboot reboot instead just keeps counting.

Yes I did this on Win 8. I unzipped the file in a folder on the desktop and ran soju.exe file. I had the ADB drives installed for my previous HTC One X. Didn't download anything extra except for the rumrunner.zip. Make sure you are full stock and rooted. Also you have to uninstall HTC Sync if you have it installed.

I'm starting to think I'm experiencing a usb3.0 issue on my gateway which is apparently a huge issue topic under the how to get around soff block thread ..
Windows Usb3.0 on windows 8 doesn't work well with fastboot.
But it seems complicated to change/force Intel usb3.0 drivers which allow fastboot adb to work flawlessly in place of the windows 3.0 usb .
That's the whole issue here I believe.

Hboot 1.55 LOCKED S-Off w/ Rumrunner
So, I unlocked my boot loader with HTCDEV. I than used Rumrunner to gain s-off and root. It worked but now it says Tampered "locked" but is S-off. I'd like to unlock my bootloader and if possible without HTCDEV again. I just got the phone set back up. I backed up my apps but I couldn't get TWRP to load through a flashing app or Goomanager. I'm guessing this is because I'm locked. Can anyone help?? Not sure what to do here. Sounds like you guys figured this out but I didn't see the howto..
is it ok to ask what the purpose of s- off is?
I had to be on stock ROM to be able to S-OFF when I tried the other day. I also had to put all the rumrunner files in the same folder as my sdk/adb stuff. Make sure, if your phone prompts you to accept the connection from the PC, to accept.
Is your phone even showing up when you try 'adb devices' ?
Yes, that all worked fine. I ended up installing Clock work through their app.. never could get twrp to work

The purpose of S-OFF is so you can change the CID (carrier ID) and a few other things. It is the master access to the phone pretty much. Once you change the CID you can flash stock ROMs (custom roms can be flashed without S-OFF), which allow you to convert your AT&T HTC one to the google play edition or any other edition like the European editions.
I got it to work on my One. I had to try twice. I think it failed the first time because of an SU permission popup or something which I pressed allow but then rumrunner ended without finishing. The second time it worked though.
How did you uninstall the HTC Sync app? I've tried a couple of different ways, but it comes back after I restart the phone.
Hey all,
I have this HTC EVO 3D that just, refuses to co-operate with me.
Story goes -
Got it on ICS and everything was working fine on it. I looked for updates available and it found a 28MB update that I installed and once the phone rebooted with the update, the camera fails to start and the touch screen just starts going crazy and opening everything, whereas before it fine.
So, I attempted to try and get it back to Gingerbread.
And googled and googled and googled.
Reason why I have opened a new thread is cause it's sort of everything going weird with it.
Of course, trying RUU files and trying to flash RUU in zip failed so on so forth.
I had unlocked the Bootloader and S-ON is on at this point. Also had CWM recovery installed and was able to boot into that.
With this in place, I read up on the wire trick and thought, yeah it seems a bit hard, I'll take it to a phone repair shop, where they had the phone for 2 weeks and told me that it was S-OFF and back to stock.
Since they had it and I got it back, it's now stuck in a boot loop and I can not get into any recovery etc (With the original SD Card in it). Can get to Bootloader and fastboot though.
Spent the last 3 hours with about 20 tabs in Chrome opened on how to exactly go from here and I am stuck.
Got a Linux Laptop here and tried to ControlBear and it comes up with ADB and Fastboot not found (Directory points to it being in tmp..no idea)
TL;DR
HTC Evo 3D (Australian Variant, was running ICS Telstra OEM)
Unlocked Bootloader
SHOOTER_U PVT SHIP S-ON RL
HBOOT-1.53.0007
eMMC-boot
Radio - 11.25.3504.16 M
Boot Loops, No Recovery, Fastboot commands work on windows.
So just wondering, where do I go from here. I don't know if the device is completely bricked now or if it can be saved.
(I tried a number of zip files on the SD Card (PG86IMG.zip) and nothing due to having S-ON.
Hoping someone can provide a procedure or point me in the right direction.
As reference, I used this thread mostly before it was taken to the Repair Shop and got stuffed.
Any help is appreciated.
Thanks so much.

Hello my friend, the reason you can't load the pg86img is because you have unlocked bootloader. The fastboot commands could help us a lot, did you follow the controlbear instructions in the correct order? I think there is a way through windows with exe files I don't remember well because I did S-OFF 3years+ before. If you want we can try together some time. If you want for start we can flash 4ext recovery and a custom rom so your phone can boot.

Hi there, I didn't know with having the bootloader unlocked that it would cause any issues, but there you go!
Yeah, if there's a guide to flashing the 4EXT Recovery and a custom rom that would be great!
I have a fair idea of how to do it, but don't want to try anything without having someone of greater knowledge point me in the right direction
Thanks!
Just an update, I did come across a thread to flash 4EXT Recovery onto my Evo 3D.
Put Recovery.img into my platform-tools folder, used the fastboot command, it said sending and OK.
Selected recovery and still boot loops. No idea where to go from here now

Hey there,
That's OK, I don't mind the wait, it's all good!
I can boot into Fastboot, but when I choose recovery/factory reset etc, it shows the HTC Logo and then goes into a bootloop.
As for the ROM, I want to get the original GB ROM for it because when I updated it to the latest ICS that's when the camera and touch started to get weird, whereas beforehand it was fine.
So thinking, if I go back down to GB Stock, that it should be all fine again, but I am not too sure on that one.
Thanks!

Well, we have to downgrade the hboot version first. Did you do the wire trick procedure right? You can download a pg86img and flash it first to fix the bootloops. First lock the bootloader. When you finish this report here. I have to sleep it's late here and I work early. I'll send you tomorrow. See you.

Ok, the technician I took the phone to supposedly did the wire trick for S-OFF, but, it's still S-ON.
I have downloaded a lot of stock PG86IMG files before posting on here and none work, they scan when in bootloader and then nothing after that.
But that would be because I haven't locked the bootloader. So in saying this, I lock the bootloader following steps on many forum posts on here, then flash a .zip file that's correct and then it should all work?
I'll wait for your response, thanks!

Hey, so I tried a P86IMG.zip from this thread here - http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2274635
I couldn't find another one and with that I get an error "Main Version Fail" or "Main Version Check Fail".
I then tried RUU and RUU in zip format.
RUU comes back with wrong bootloader error. (I couldn't find an RUU that matched my radio version so I went with the nearest one)
RUU Zip comes back through fastboot with "remote 43 main version check fail"
Also I tried to do the Wire Trick and got stuck at the "ADB and Fastboot not found" even though the files are there and the phone is connected.
So still a little bit...stuck :\
Also relocked bootloader it just says relocked now.
If you need any other additional info I can send screenshots of what it's at.
Thanks!

Oh that would be extremely helpful, I can use Linux, but prefer my Windows PC as it has all the files and it's just easier.
Thanks so much!

If you want we can do the procedure together some time. Keep in mind that you have to unlock again. We can search for the windows version too.

So update -
DK sent me the windows version of ControlBear via PM - thank you.
Have an unlocked bootloader.
I tried ControlBear, and because I can not boot into the OS, I start it at Fastboot USB, it reboots, then says "Connecting to Device", then "Testing ADB connection" then "Press Enter To Exit" and that's it, can't do anything else from there, and it gets stuck in the boot loop that it still has.
Tried again to google for methods for HBOOT 1.53, and am trying some of those methods, but it's not looking good at all.
I haven't even got to the stage where it asks me to do any sort of wire trick.
Also my battery in the EVO 3D has died so am using a battery out of a HTC MyTouch 4G with help from electrical tape :\
So now, any suggestions? I am trying to flash another RUU that's stock for my Radio (Well, it's close enough - RUUs are both 11.25.3504.06, mine is 11.25.3504.16)
EDIT: Tried all RUUs with relocked bootloader and comes back with bootloader error (ERROR 140). So, no idea.
Also it's scanning for PG86DIAG.img files on the SD Card - that's not normal is it.
Do you think we should give up on it, it's probably hard bricked and dead now
I think it's literally hard bricked and no way to bring it back from the dead.
As per my original post, all the details for the phone are there. And it sucks that I can't find a correct RUU for my phone (As it was Telstra AU - latest update of ICS)
AHH I don't know.

First of all you should be unlocked now with 1.53 hboot. Download from here the latest 4ext recovery (4EXT_Recovery_Touch_v1.0.0.6_RC3)
It's in my mega account don't worry about malicious software I downloaded it 5 minutes before doing this post. If you don't have unlocked your bootloader do it with the tokens HTC sent you in your email. Flash this recovery from fastboot (fastboot flash recovery "recoveryname".img). After that remove the battery and re-enter fastboot mode (Vol down+power button) and choose recovery. If you manage to boot into recovery from there tell me to send you a link for a rom to flash. I don't believe its a hard brick.

Hey there, thanks for the help again, unfortunately, still didn't work.
I unlocked the bootloader again. Then tried to flash what you said, it said "writing" then "successful". I pulled the battery and tried to boot into recovery and just loops

Try doing:
fastboot erase recovery
fastboot flash recovery "recovery".img
fastboot format system
fastboot format boot
And if it still doesn't let me send you a boot.img in some minutes to try flashing it.
EDIT: And something last, you can still do the controlbear trick while not in OS, its easy if you wanna try let me know.

Hey all,
I have this HTC EVO 3D that just, refuses to co-operate with me.
Story goes -
Got it on ICS and everything was working fine on it. I looked for updates available and it found a 28MB update that I installed and once the phone rebooted with the update, the camera fails to start and the touch screen just starts going crazy and opening everything, whereas before it fine.
So, I attempted to try and get it back to Gingerbread.
And googled and googled and googled.
Reason why I have opened a new thread is cause it's sort of everything going weird with it.
Of course, trying RUU files and trying to flash RUU in zip failed so on so forth.
I had unlocked the Bootloader and S-ON is on at this point. Also had CWM recovery installed and was able to boot into that.
With this in place, I read up on the wire trick and thought, yeah it seems a bit hard, I'll take it to a phone repair shop, where they had the phone for 2 weeks and told me that it was S-OFF and back to stock.
Since they had it and I got it back, it's now stuck in a boot loop and I can not get into any recovery etc (With the original SD Card in it). Can get to Bootloader and fastboot though.
Spent the last 3 hours with about 20 tabs in Chrome opened on how to exactly go from here and I am stuck.
Got a Linux Laptop here and tried to ControlBear and it comes up with ADB and Fastboot not found (Directory points to it being in tmp..no idea)
TL;DR
HTC Evo 3D (Australian Variant, was running ICS Telstra OEM)
Unlocked Bootloader
SHOOTER_U PVT SHIP S-ON RL
HBOOT-1.53.0007
eMMC-boot
Radio - 11.25.3504.16 M
Boot Loops, No Recovery, Fastboot commands work on windows.
So just wondering, where do I go from here. I don't know if the device is completely bricked now or if it can be saved.
(I tried a number of zip files on the SD Card (PG86IMG.zip) and nothing due to having S-ON.
Hoping someone can provide a procedure or point me in the right direction.
As reference, I used this thread mostly before it was taken to the Repair Shop and got stuffed.
Any help is appreciated.
Thanks so much.
