Now My Phone Is Useless because i dont have rom installed and i cant re-unlock the boot loader to enter in recovery to try another ROM. What Can I Do, Please Help!!!
You need to unlock your bootloader again and make sure you have a working recovery installed.
You're S-on so you have to flash the kernel separately from the ROM. You need to get up and running, though, so download MeanBean ROM and flash it from recovery. You can connect your phone and computer together and boot into recovery and mount either internal or external storage and transfer the ROM zip to your phone. Do a full wipe in recovery, then flash the MeanBean zip and reboot. The phone will boot to the splash screen then back to recovery. Flash the MeanBean zip again and reboot. You should be good to go then.
Also take a look at the link in my sig. My guide contains some useful info. I recommend gaining S-off as soon as possible. Any more issues, shoot me a PM or reply in this thread.

Type adb devices from your OS or recovery
Type fastboot devices in bootloader
If it's still not responding click the link in Fin's sig and find the link to the latest drivers,download them using the 6-6-13 and don't forget the BMP drivers
Uninstall everything HTC from your PC/reboot PC/install drivers/plug your phone back in and let the drivers install(they will also install once you go to bootloader and recovery)
Try the commads again

Follow my instructions from my first post and install MeanBean ROM. It's in the Development thread.
MeanBean has a kernel installer built in to facilitate flashing the ROM while you're S-on. You can also fastboot flash the kernel but there is a little more work involved in doing it, and right now you just want to get your phone up and running. You did flash a custom recovery to your phone, correct?

hi all
Forgot to charge my EVO 3D (CDMA) and battery completely drained. Even after using another fully charged battery my phone goes to bootloop - just shows the HTC logo and reboots again and again. Here is what I have:
hboot : 1.5 (S-ON)
radio : 1.06.00.1216
ota : 2_17.651_5
(I am using this phone in India activated on Reliance)
As the phone doesn't boot I can't access it thru adb to give command 'adb reboot bootloader'
I can get bootloader by pressing vol_down+power
When I run the 2_17.651_5 RUU (exe) from my computer while phone is on fastboot, it completes successfully without errors. But still on reboot it just stays at the htc screen and reboots (guess it's becoz stock kernel not getting flashed as the phone is s-on)
kindly help to get back my phone boot again
thanks and regards

Don't listen to the previous guy. Try using fastboot OEM lock and then ruuing. Or, try getting freezas stock kernel and extracting the boot.IMG and flashing it thru fastboot. Or, you could use fastboot flash recover recovery.IMG to get twrp or clockworkmod and do a superwipe and try flashing a new Rom. There are tons of options if you still have fastboot.

Thanx for responding. As I mentioned earlier,I have already relocked and RUU'd the exe file,but though it runs without errors doesn't solve problem. Again as it is s-on doesn't permit to flash boot.img. Though I am able to flash twrp recovery, not able to get into recovery from fastboot. Thanks again, really appreciate your help.

You don't need to relock once you unlock the HTC way. Just unlock the phone then flash via fastboot the boot.img and then ruu if you want.

thanks. extracted boot.img from freeza's kernel and flashed from fastboot after unlocking. But still doesnt solve problem. Can you give me a link for boot.img
Pleassssssse HELP !!!!!!
I have the exactly the same problem, a full reboot result in boot loop, and can not fix it by now.
I guest the phone is rooted before OTA, so OTA can not flash kernel successfully because the wrong signature, and the phone will not boot because the wrong kernel.
I have tried ruu, fastboot boot recovery.img and etc, all failed.
The key point is that, the phone is rooted and you tried OTA. HTC OTA must have a stupid bug, it can not recovery from a partial update, or automatically roll back becasuse of the partial update, dem!
Please have a look at the guide/flashing notes in my signature. If u r unlocked u are likely not entering recovery correctly.
If u are trying to flash the Ruu u have to be locked or relocked. If u cant boot to android, run the xhausx's full Ruu zip from bootloader.

1) flashed RUU (exe) after relocking - flash completed without errors

But still doesn't solve problem and phone keeps rebooting, apparently kernel has not flashed properly.

You need to use the RUU 2.17 exe after you relock your phone... Then flash a copy of CWM or TWRP on it..
Then adb
fastboot boot recovery.img
Wipe and flash whatever you want

Yeah , as I mentioned earlier, I also tried using the RUU 2.17 exe after relocking (RUU completed successfully without errors) , and flashed twrp recovery from fastboot . But still it's a no go.
(Again would like to repeat that I can't boot into bootloader from adb - adb cannot connect as phone doesn't android boot. I get into fastboot by pressing vol_down + power)

Have you tried to just run the RUU like you said boot turn debug on .... Then go to hboot flash your recovery...
Then fastboot boot recovery.img.
This should work I have unrooted my phone 3 times already in the past month Trial and Error on my part adb always found my phone...
I am tryin to figure out what is going wrong on the last part with TWRP...
Since you said after you do that it was a no go? What happend ? Adb should still be working since you just flashed the recovery...
Anyways I hope you get it solved man I am tryin to figure this problem out.
Do you have a rom already ready to be flashed on your SD card?
Problem is, since i’m not able to android boot I can't reboot bootloader from adb, as I can't connect adb without the phone normal booting. When I boot it just stays at the HTC white screen.
I have flashed twrp recovery from fastboot, but when I give command 'fastboot boot <twrpxxxxx>.img it just boots back to the HTC splash screen
You can go back to complete stock if you rename the RUU file PG86IMG.zip and load onto the root of sd card. Get into bootloader with [power+volume down] and it will automatically detect and load the zip file. This can only be done if you are relocked. I did this in order to get the latest update. After you get back to stock you can unlock and root again.

As I mentioned in earlier post, have tried flashing PG86IMG.zip from bootloader, but still phone doesn't boot properly and is in a bootloop.
You've used the following file and done these exact steps and allowed the phone to boot to full stock OS? (assuming 2.17.651.5 is correct version)
OPTION 2 - RUU.zip info:
I prefer the .exe version but xHausx’s “FULL” PG86IMG_2.17.651.5.zip may work for you (must be renamed PG86IMG.zip). Make sure you have plenty of battery/charge left!
- (XDA) Xhausx full PG86IMG.zip RUU images (651.5 zips)

**THIS WILL RETURN YOU TO FRESH OUT OF THE BOX**
You will not need any special drivers loaded, etc...
1.Download the stock ROM ZIP image from here: and rename it "PG86IMG.zip"
2.Copy it to SD Card
3.Reboot phone into hboot mode by holding volume down and then press power.
Keep volume down held until you boot into hboot mode.
4.In hboot mode the phone will scan the SD card with the image. Once it finds it will ask you if you want to update. Press "Power" to update.
5.Wait.... For a while. When it gets to "system" it will loop a few times. Its quite nerve wracking actually but after about 5 or 6 times it will complete.
6.Once the entire flash is complete it will prompt you to "press power to reboot." Press power and your phone will reboot to 100% stock ROM.

So I flashed cm 10.1 before achieving S-Off. Bootloader unlocked, rooted with TWRP installed. It sits on "quietly brilliant". I can get into fastboot and recovery, but cannot get any files onto my sd card. Can someone help me get back to a stock rooted rom so I can achieve S-Off properly? Or if it's easier, I'll go all the way to complete stock and start over. Any help is greatly appreciated.

You most likely need to fastboot flash the kernel (boot.img) so the ROM will boot. Just another reason to get S-off

Why can't you take out your sd card plug in the pc and place meanbean rom on there. Flash meanbean which will flash the kernel. Then flash stock rooted rom.

Would be better help if I knew more of what is going on. Were you trying to S-OFF with CM10.1 installed? Did you just flash CM10.1 while S-ON and can't get the phone to boot? But anywho... with what I know now:
If you still have the CM10.1 ROM on your phone:
take the boot.img out of the .zip and
fastboot flash boot boot.img
that will install the boot.img / kernel and should allow your phone to boot.
Then you can go back in TWRP and flash a stock ROM.
To flash a ROM in fastboot:
fastboot -w
to wipe you device
fastboot update ROM.zip
that will install your ROM in fastboot mode.
fastboot flash boot boot.img after too I assume.
Or you can even do so by using adb in TWRP:
adb shell
mount data
adb push d:\custom_rom.zip /data/
Wait until the push finishes and restart your device to recovery again with "adb reboot-bootloader"
mount data
mount /data /sdcard (mount the data folder into your sdcard folder)
find your ROM.zip
Confirm the flash by following the on-screen instructions
if no errors then reboot the device
Also, in TWRP with your phone plugged into the computer you should be able to mount the phone to get access to your storage on your computer. Not 100% sure why that would matter or why you need to get to your storage though. I'm pretty sure that's called USB-OTG.

Also another option.
If you're trying to get the .zip for the boot.img just download the version you need from the computer, open the .zip, pull the boot.img out and do the fastboot command to install the boot.img / kernel.
If you need or want to RUU then you should be able to:
fastboot oem lock
that will obviously relock your device
then you can fastboot oem rebootRUU
then fastboot flash zip RUU.zip (assuming you have your proper RUU already) when on the black HTC screen
after that completes fastboot reboot-bootloader
Then you'll be back to stock and should be able to boot the device, root, or whatever you please.
I think I covered every option. Lol.
Personally, I would just RUU again.
I've done this before with CM10 while trying to gain S-OFF and just RUU'd my device to see what would happen.
Keep in mind: anything can happen. I went into the process knowing there would be a possibility of a fail in which case I would smash the phone and pay $150 to asurion to get another device since I had the protection from Sprint.

I have rooted OneX+ and running ARHD for months without any problem
But suddenly it freeze, and restart it by holding power button down for a sew seconds.
And now its stuck on HTC logo.
Please someone help me pleaseeeee!
Note:
1. I relock bootloder
2. Try update it with RUU [error 171 waiting for bootloader]
3. Can't access SDcard
4. Can't go to recovery [try update it but failed]
5. I don't have any backup
Push the latest twrp recovery, format your data partition in recovery and push a stock boot.img to your device then reboot into fast boot mode, then you should be able to run the ruu.
Don't forget to unlock bootloader again before flashing twrp and lock before u flash stock boot.img.
Make sure u have the correct ruu and a decent usb cable for the tranfer preferably the one that came with the device plus at least 50% battery etc.

REBOOT INTO BOOTLOADER FILE FROM MY FILEKIT>DATA AFTER THAT NAVIGATE TO RECOVERY AND SELECT
4EXT RECOVERY.ZIP AFTER IT FLASHES SUCESSFULLY REBOOT YOUR SYSTEM OR REBOOT RECOVERY SO THEN
NEW RECOVERY WILL BE SEEN..
ALL GUIDES AND FILES ARE AVAILABILE IN THE ZIP..

Hi ..!
I like your post ..!
And I had tried this ..!
Very usefull post for unlocking bootloader
phone stuck at HTC logo
hey guys,
great guide, plain and simple
I have gotten to the point of rooting the phone, however when I install roms from sd card and reboot, the phone gets stuck at the htc logo with the white background. Am I missing something...After i install the super su and reboot, can I just install a rom, or do i need to update the kernel or install an update?
thanks in advance

Yes the problem is that you need to flash boot.img from bootloader or for easily flashing roms from recovery ,use 4ext recovery...
Just flash this recovery from an app at play store or xda named 4ext recovery control this will work only if phone is booting or if the phone is not booting so search 4ext recovery.img or .zip on xda and flash it in your current recovery and reboot your recovery...you would now be able to get in new recovery now before flashing roms you need to enable 4ext smart flash,which is available inside tools options in 4ext recovery once you had enabled smart flash start flashing roms and they would boot...but NOTE: when ever you are flashing roms always check that is 4ext smart flash enabled or not ,you need to enable it in order to boot new roms and always make an Nandroid backup...
Happy flashing and don't forget to hit thanks

And please tell me that you're currently on CWM recovery or anyother...
Well CWM recovery is included in the package so hoping you're on custom recovery..
The only solution for your problem is that your phone should be ICS 4.0.3 updated and you should have 4ext recovery with smart flash enabled...
Or other solution is perform S-OFF..which is very hard,because of the wire trick!

I assume that you are on ginger bread with old bootloader,so try CM7 or older roms that might work on your device,for flashing ICS and JB newer roms you will need to be on latest bootloader which you can get after updating your phone to ICS(official)..
if you are having unbranded HTC Amaze Ruby then you need to S-OFF or if you are having Branded i.e T-Mobile or any other just flash the RUU from boot loader....:victory:

Did you enabled smart flash inside tools options in 4ext recovery.?
Just Google s-off,you might find details about it.
And another solution is to try hasoons2000 toolkit for htc amaze and learn how to flash boot.img on bootloader..

for s-off visit this.
and for booting a new rom you need to flash boot.img from bootloader.
use this once you enter boot loader and your phone should be connected to pc.see this for more information.
Code:
fastboot flash boot boot.img

ok, so I did all the above, I also installed an update:
You MUST flash the ICS firmware update when coming from a GINGERBREAD ROM before flashing Viper Amaze
Place the PH85IMG.zip in the root of your
EXTERNAL SDCARD and boot into bootloader
This will update your radio
to 1.15.550L.08D _30.80.550L. 16D
and HBOOT to 1.93.2222
I did the above, installed the Viper Amaze 1.7.2.3 official, and it worked!!!!
thanks again for your help and patient, thank you

S-on users will need to relock/lock bootloader before flashing.
S-off users can simply flash using either method below. I also have included an S-off only option which i removed the boot and recovery img from (perfect for users on custom roms who only want to update firmware)
Option 1) Use fastboot to flash
fastboot oem rebootRUU
fastboot flash zip ATT444firmware.zip
*** If any message appears about reflush and flash run above command again ***
fastboot reboot-bootloader
**** this firmware has both stock boot and recovery so flash your custom rom's kernel and/or your custom recovery NOW before rebooting****
Option 2)
Rename zip file to 0P6BIMG.zip and place on your external SD card. Reboot to hboot and allow bootloader to update/flash

OMG I LOVE YOU :fingers-crossed:
This is REAL developer spirit!
i did option 2 and it goes thru the phase in bootloader, and when it boots i hear the boot up sound but stays on the HTC screen, but i can hit the vol up and i can hear the sound like it did a reboot but its stuck on the HTC screen. any ideas?
I think you will need to reflash your ROM as dottat did not specify if he had made the package for s-off not to wipe. Generally during firmware update, it will wipe clean the phone to reset partitions, I am assuming. If you come from gpe firmware, best to reflash because gpe and sense have different partitioning.
Hold power+vol up to force shut down then use power+vol down to get to bootloader and enter your custom recovery from there.

Firmware won't wipe.
That said I believe by second option he meant SD card method. If he's s on he will likely need to reflash his roms kernel (boot.Img) via fastboot after unlocking again.
@hauntyu
Just pull the boot.img out of the zip of the rom you were running and flash that in fastboot mode after you unlock your bootloader again.
Which method would I use to flash the ruu or download because Im gpe and it says when I run the ruu its the wrong image.

You would need to set your cid and mid back to stock. Then flash the firmware only zip I posted in my other thread. Then factory reset. Then flash this ruu.

You have to flash stock 4.4.4 recovery and then relock. Then you can either download it from the other thread where it's posted and manually flash it in recovery or do it the regular way through update.

then fastboot oem lock
then update...
your rom you have right now must not have ANY modifications other than root or the update will fail (hotspot hack/sd card fix/etc).

You are gonna need to lock using your pc so your pc is required anyways. Make sure you back up your stuff before you unlock your boot loader again as it will factory reset your phone to do so.

I'm trying to get back to stock, but I'm S-On. Every thread I've seen (including this one) requires S-Off and I can't find instructions on how to relock the bootloader from S-On.
As I posted elsewhere, I've tried to run SunShine, but it won't work with LiquidSmooth. The couple of "stockish" ROMS I've flashed haven't worked and I've had to reflash my backup.

Flash a stockish Rom and then separately flash the stock boot.img from the 4.4.4 firmware zip. Sunshine will fail on any Rom that uses a non stock kernel. Even debug turned on in kernel will cause it to fail.
OK so then it should go something like this..
1. Connect phone to PC.
2. Move recovery file you linked to my android folder on PC where my fastboot files are.
3. fastboot flash stock recovery
4. fastboot oem lock
5. Reboot
6. Take ota.
Am I missing something?

That looks ok. Once booted up backup internal and stuff because when you reunlock you will get wiped again.
