i want to install Stock RUU for my evo 3D to do wire trick...
i usually install new ROM (.zip) with 4ext, now....how about to install Stock RUU .exe on windows ?
just run the .exe with connected evo 3D to computer ?
is the evo 3D on bootloarder state with "fastboot usb" appear ? or just on desktop state ?
i found this tutorial, but its on HTC Desire, can it works on Evo 3D ?

ok... i did it. this guide:
Flashing Android RUU Update Using HBoot
- First you need the RUU.exe that you intend to install.
- Run the RUU as administrator.
- Tick the 'I understand the caution indicated above...' box, and click next.
At this point do not go any further!
- Navigate to C:\Users\xxxxx\AppData\Local\Temp (Replace xxxxx with yours - AppData is a hidden folder)
You should see one or two folders like this: {E328FA5C-81C2-4B70-96AE-D5418A9A5B75}
- Go into the one with "dotnetinstaller.exe" in it.
- Open up the next folder. (like this : {50F2F878-636A-496F-A7CB-544C067E0C4B}
- Copy "rom.zip" into another folder (outside of temp).
- At this point just Cancel and quit the ROM Update Utility.
- Rename the "rom.zip" to "PD98IMG.zip" and put it on to the root directory of your MicroSD card in your phone.
- Shut down the phone.
- Press the Power button + Volume down button at the same time and hold them untill you get to HBOOT (white screen with skateboarding android).
- Wait for the HBOOT to parse the zip file.
- Follow the on-screen instructions and boot into newly flashed device.
Thanx everyone on this forum!

i try to copy the ROM.zip and paste it into other folder. any idea what is "PD98IMG.zip" (on this ex. HTC desire) ? is the Evo3D have the same name with that one ?
What hboot are you now? If you have 1.58, you will not be able to ruu, until you're s off
Generally speaking a stock Rom such as butterz sense will work for the wire trick, I personally used harmonia, but I'm also on vm
The PG86IMG.zip method requires s off I believe, so that wont help you...I could be wrong though

my hboot ver 1.53.0007
and now i use Yoda's ICS....
my plan is use this PG86IMG.zip to get RUU first and then i will unlock it, and run juopunutbear to get S-OFF
but, you said that for use PG86IMG.zip (renamed from ROM.ZIP from RUU) is only can when i have S-OFF (1.58), is this the same case with my hboot ver ?
so what must i do then ?
I'm honestly not sure, it sounds like you have gsm, I can only speak for my CDMA.
I could be wrong, but I needed s off to change my hboot ( by flashing pg86img), so I assume phone needs soff to flash any pg86img.zip...but I don't have an son phone to try.
And I just knew there is no ruu for the latest CDMA hboot, which is 1.58
I would say if you're going to try ruu through the pg86img, just be 100% sure it's for gsm..

ohhh no no no ...
on this case , i only want to get RUU installed on my phone....not for downgrading hboot yet...this is for getting S-OFF with juopunutbear i think...
and i asked how to install RUU .exe ? is that the same way to flash any cusROM with 4ext (flash from .zip) ? or must by renaming ROM.ZIP to pg86img.zip and put it on the root of SD Card ?

No. Rename RUU .zip file to PG86IMG and put it on root of your sd card. Then pull out your battery, put it back and press vol down and power to get to bootloader and when asked to update press vol up.

Currently on HBOOT 0.57.0000 with S-ON and want to upgrade to 1.02.0000 so I can use Revolutionary to S-OFF. Is there anyway to upgrade the HBOOT to this version without losing my CWM/CM7 setup or using a stock RUU to flash? Can the HBOOT be extracted from the stock RUU? On a US AT&T Aria for the record.
Just nandroid first then run the ruu-revolutionary-then restore.after you s-off you can fastboot flash whatever version of cwm you want.

But why have i do to this downgrade? what is the benefit?
The benefit is S-Off which will allow you to flash any ROM/Kernel. If you currently have 1.49.0011 or above unlocked using the HTC method you would have had troubles where some ROMs just sit at the white HTC screen forever or error messages when trying to flash kernels ect.
This will fix all those issues!

waiting for rev soff......
so i found this guide about getting a custom recovery and S-OFF which looks safe to me
xttp://appcounter.blogspot.co.uk/2012/02/installing-custom-rom-for-htc-evo-3d.html
All i want now is simply how to install an ICS leak ROM.
from what i understand, when you are hboot 149007 and s-off you can flash everything
Also,how easy is it to return to a stock GSM EVO 3d after being rooted custom ROMed etc?
up for assistance
my phone cant recognize the P86IMG.zip
As i know you don't need s-off to install ics leaked roms cause the kernel is stock.
If i may give you a suggestion ... WAIT, at moment it seems that there is not a sure way to remove firmware upgrade. On my phone thare are now random issues.
Trust me, the ics experience is something less than you may expect... sense 3.6 kill s it

The P86IMG.zip will downgrade your HBOOT to 1.49.0007. After that you can use the Revolutionary method ( revolutionary.io ) to get S-off; Revolutionary only works with HBOOT 1.49.0007 or 1.49.0008, that's why you're downgrading the HBOOT.

exactly as above....use this http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1316578 to downgrade to hboot 1.49.0007 (check for the steps...might need to skip some) then after that go here http://revolutionary.io/ and follow the instructions as mentioned below :
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=_sw_mgVHWYo
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=xlO8QtMVq6g&feature=related
and now you are s-off....then through recovery you can flash any rom you like....and yes this method is fully reversible as mentioned here http://www.goodandevo.net/2011/07/h...-evo-3d-back-to-an-unrooted-s-on-state-1.html
you just flash the official ruu and all goes back to normal including hboot
Also to answer your second question, Run a correct stock RUU file and it should restore everything. To make it s-on again you need to run some commands through fastboot, which i cant remember.
Is there a way to swap the Hboot for different ROMs without having to use a PC to remove PC86IMG.zip from the SD card? Many AOSP ROMs require older Hboot versions and some of the new 2.89 base ROMs need the newer 1.58 Hboot to but after you flash the older Hboot you are stuck if you are running the new base and have to use a PC to remove the PC86IMG.zip from the SD card. Seems like we need an option in recovery or some other way to switch Hboots when away from a computer to change ROMs.

Put the hboot pg86 on your sd.
Flash Rom
Reboot to bootloader (from recovery) to flash hboot
Boot system and rename the pg86 with a file manager
You don't have to remove the pg86img, just rename it.Does this answer your question?

No... Because after you flash an older Hboot say, 1.40 and you were on a new 2.89 base ROM it will no longer boot because it requires the new 1.58 Hboot sooo..you can't just use a file explorer to change the name...

Right, I've done that on accident before. What I'm saying is, don't flash the new hboot until after the Rom flash. I go from zr3dx to venom all the time with no computer. They require different hboots. This is how I do it.
Let's say I'm on zr3dx with hboot 1.4 and I want to go to venom. I'll rename my "158hbootPG86IMG.zip" to PG86IMG first. then I go to recovery and flash venom, then I reboot to bootloader from recovery and it'll flash the hboot 1.58. It boots up and I promptly rename it back to "158hbootPG86IMG.zip".
If I want to go back to zr3dx I just do the same process with the 1.4 hboot that's on my sd and flash zr3dx.

I bought Evo which was already upgraded to ICS (OTA I assume), and it was branded I think. I've unlocked it via HTCDev, flashed '4ext touch recovery' and then rooted. Then I flashed MIUI ICS ROM, and everything is OK for now.
I want to use BootManager to flash multiple ROMs. It requires s-off. I tried it already with s-on, because I've read that SmartFlash (from 4ext recovery) makes my phone like s-off, so ROM on SD card installed, but won't boot. I had many problems going back to my Phone ROM, I restored my backup, wiped many times, installed fresh ROM and still had a bootloop. Finally I got it working again by flashing boot.img via fastboot (glad I did nandroid backup before). I didn't try again with different ROM, because after 2 hours of trying to recover my base ROM I've had enough. So I'm pretty sure BootManager will work better if my phone will be s-off.
So my question is - what to do next? We have so many guides and different comments here, sometimes the same method works for one, and doesn't work for another one, and I'm really confused.
I assume I should follow the instructions here http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1743466 but I don't understand few things:
friend.evil said:
flash an ICS ROM from recovery(Method B from 10 to 14)
open ICS ROM.zip and extract boot.img to a folder which contains adb, fastboot and AdbWinApi.dll
go to fastboot and type:
fastboot flash boot boot.img
fastboot reboot

Do I have to do this if I'm already have MIUI with root privileges? Do I still need that boot.img from MIUI, and put it together with fastboot.exe?
Or should I restore stock ICS? I'm pretty sure I did nandroid backup before flashing MIUI.

Hboot s on will only flash roms that are based on ics 3.28xx and sense 4 roms using a special boot.img ! U can never flash GB roms until u go s off like i did its a tricky process but it works and now i can flash any rom in the gsm section

I don't get it - can I flash GB ROM or not if I have hboot 1.53.0007 s-on? Can I use method F if method D fail?
Sorry for my english, I'm from Poland.
Thanks in advance for any tip.
You're confusing yourself, What you need to do my friend is.
1. Download RUU, Run RUU
2. HTC Unlock bootloader again
3. Do the Juopunutbear Wiretrick to get s-off
4. Download the 1.04 ENG hboot (There is one of those for the GSM I think... not sure though)
5. Flash a badass Android 4.2.1 rom. They work.
There's much more detailed guides on what to do, BUT This is a summary of what you want.
Be sure to hit thanks [= I'm almost to 100
Which RUU should I search for? GB or ICS?
But isn't the 1+2 the same as restoring my ICS Stock ROM from backup?
I think hboot 1.49.0007 would be enough, I've read that BootManager works well with that version.
1. Yes you can just restore your stock ics backup BUT you will have to root it using the file provided in method B.
2. Yes the 1.49.0007 hboot is best for gsm
3. You can flash a GB rom with your hboot no problem. It just dont think it will boot. so technically you should be able to do the wire trick with a GB rom flashed(not booted into). You'll be in fastboot mode for the wiretrick. There are different files for GB and ICS when doing the wiretrick
Your best bet is to run an ICS RUU, unlock bootloader, root rom, do the wire trick, change hboot to 1.49.0007 and then flash any rom you want
Backup was made right after I made root, is it enough? I just don't want to go through the entire process from the beginning (unlocking, rooting etc).

That should work But unlocking again is really easy
You should still have you unlock token in the same place,
You just plug up to the computer hop into fastboot usb and type
Fastboot flash unlocktoken Unlock_Code.bin
to unlock and then
fastboot flash recovery recovery.img
for a recovery,
Then move SU to your sd card and flash it in recovery.
Then your all ready for the wire trick, The more you do these things the more experience you get at them and the better you get with fastboot. I suggest you go through the process opposed to just restoring (First off it's much much safer) and you'll know the ropes if you (or anyone else) has this problem.
Maybe you're right. I'll try with RUU. But I see it's hard to find the correct one these days, some old links died. I have a file called "RUU_SHOOTER_U_ICS_35_S_HTC_Europe_3.28.401.1_Radio_11.77.3504.00U_11.25.3504.06_M_release_262714_signed" which I have downloaded right before I started unlocking my Evo, could it be the correct one?
I didn't know I can use old "unlock_code.bin", I saw that everytime I read the token from the device, it was different. So I assumed that I have to flash bin that match the token.

The token and the unlock code are specific to the phone, And doesn't change until you get a new phone.
And that seems to be the right one, Do you live in Europe? lol Shooter u means GSM and ICS means it's the latest RUU.

I know I use shooter_u, I asked because I've found another RUU which have "Rogers_WWE" in name of the file, and the rest of the file name is identical, and I remember that I had to choose "rogers" when I was unlocking via htcdev. That's why I wasn't 100% sure if I had to choose "HTC_Europe" or "Rogers_WWE".
Another thing which confuses me:

Note 3: If you previously did the HTC Unlock, you'd have to "RELOCK" BEFORE running the RUU.
To do this from fastboot type: fastboot oem lock

Should I do this or start directly with RUU.exe? My phone is currently "UNLOCKED, hboot 1.53.0007, s-on".
And what about CID? I've read somewhere that I have to change to supercid or something, to be able to flash zips via fastboot. How to check my current CID?
Search for cid getter on play store to get your cid
You certainly need to relock you hboot before running RUU. For the correct ruu you should check the box that your phone came in. It should have the details (atleast i think so)
P.S. you probably don't need to change cid. Infact i'd recommend you not to do that just yet
Got the CID, it's HTC__032. I want to be prepared, who knows what might come up during the whole process.

What means "corrupted"? Phone won't boot or what?
Eeh, if I knew that hboot 1.53.x is so problematic, I would buy Evo with GB on-board.

I think yours might be an european model. i had the exact same cid as yours.
when you get to that step of corrupted hboot just follow the steps on this thread and flash hboot 1.49.0007

Cant kive without my evis comments about the wire trick are bang on. It will fix everything. Having s-off is just much easier so do the wire trick. It will work. My wife and I both have an evo. I had to do the wire trick twice on hers for it to work and four times on mine for it to work. Be patient if it fails the first few times. And if the screen gets stuck on the jounuo whatever screen you can fix that.
If you are stuck at Juopunutbear screen and if you can go to bootloader you need to connect the phone to pc, go to fastboot ( should say fastboot usb)*Go to controlbear folder (from where you ran controlbear to begin withon you pc then open command window in it (hold shift and right click, that willopen command window rigjt there and then*when you get into it you need to enter:
"ControlBear.exe -f" no quotes or "ControlBear f" notice the space after the exe !
Lots of peopke forget to put it in and say it didnt work.
I presume this will fix the problem

My phone is now s-off. I didn't flash RUU, just restored stock rooted ROM from backup, did the wire trick (just one time, surprisingly) and everything went nice and smooth. Then I flashed hboot 1.49.0007 with no problems at all. Thanks guys for the tips.
One more thing - my phone state is now "LOCKED" - should I bother?
So I got what I wanted - I've installed ROM in BootManager (the one which doesn't boot before, while phone was 's-on') and this time it booted from SD. Today I'll try more ROMs in BootManager.
Locked doesn't matter as long as you are s-off. It only creates problems if you ever plan on using fastboot commands. Trust me, you dont need to bother with it
But if you really want to know heres a quote from ramjet where he explains it a bit.
ramjet73 said:
Once the RUU.exe is run and the stock bootloader is installed, the phone will be bootloader S-ON regardless of the radio S-OFF status. To run fastboot commands like "flash" and "erase" the stock bootloader needs to be unlocked by the htcdev method or a custom bootloader modified to support those commands needs to be flashed, which requires radio S-OFF.
