Hello everyone. I'm really new here. So I've tried the method in this article: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2221039
to root my HTC Desire HD
I was able to get my bootloader unlocked,a goldcard SD Card and installed the ROM indicated in the article. After finishing the installation, I turned it on and it got stuck on HTC Logo. At first I was able to get into RECOVERY in the HBoot, now I'm only able to get into bootloader and nothing else. I'm not able to go to RECOVERY AND FACTORY RESET anymore, the screen just goes black after choosing it. Though I'm still capable of connecting my device in the computer at fastboot usb, but adb isn't running.

It was in a stock Android 2.3.5 (Gingerbread) before trying to flash it. This is my first time trying to root the device.
Android Version-2.3.5 HTC Sense Version-3.0
Software Number 3.14.15.17
Kernel Version 2.6.35.10 [email protected]#1
Baseband Version 12.65.60.29U_26.14.04.28_M
Please help me. I don't know what to do anymore. Some other methods I've are really just confusing when the instructions says that the device needs to be rooted, in order for it to be rooted.
You never finished the guide you linked or you skipped some major steps as you still have security flags turned on (s-on)
adb will never work in bootloader, only in is or recovery - in bootloader use fastboot.
Being youre still s-on you will need to flash kernel through fastboot
Unzip the ROM you flashed and extract boot.img
fastboot flash boot boot.img
fastboot reboot

hello everyone
I recently installed KingCobra3D ICS 1.2 ROM on my EVO 3D, and it was running well until all of a sudden it started having many issues of turning off while the screen is sleeping (it wont turn back on until I do a battery pull), rebooting, and wont turn on until I do multiple battery pulls. First I thought it was the kernel, so I reflashed the kernel along with the ROM many times, and it still does those issues. My question is, how dp I go back to the original stock Gingerbread firmware without relocking the bootloader? I flashed the ICS ROM, not firmware.
EDIT: I tried restoring my backup from the recovery, but the phone didn't boot after that
any help is greatly appreciated. thanks

Hello madmajd,
S-ON as your phone is you can not flash boot.img(kernel) from the recovery.
Extract boot.img from your gingerbread rom.zip and flash-it from fastboot
Code:
fastboot flash boot boot.img
reboot in recovery, do a full wipe
and flash your rom
sincerely,

While its true YOU CAN flash the kernel that way its not needed with HTC Unlock...
If u enter your recovery via fastboot command prompt ( fastboot boot your recoveryfilename.img), roms And KERNELS WILL flash like normal from the recovery. Here's some extra info I pm'd to another gsm user...

Some key points:
- The ICS /ICS Leaked roms (3.6/4.0) typically have trouble booting the stock kernel on several HTC Unlocked phones. This doesn't seem to occur on S-off phones. (Boot loops are usually a sign of a kernel issue).
- I am on a Sprint CDMA EVO3D & have no idea how to s-off your gsm version/downgrade the bootloader.
- I do have an HTC Unlocked guide in my signature that covers many of the basics for the CDMA version. It's the same process/steps for gsm, but the files used need to be gsm specific from the gsm threads (recovery, kernel, roms, etc).
- If u decide to run an Ruu (exe or zip), you must be locked/relocked & run the same or higher firmware version as currently installed. The exe will work with the phone booted to android or with the bootloader in "fastboot usb". The zip must be renamed exactly PG86IMG.zip and put directly on the root of the sdcard & boot into the bootloader.
- If the phone boots to the bootloader, you can use fastboot command prompt to " unlock" the phone again with your unlock code. Then fastboot flash the recovery again (4ext or Cwm 4.0.1.4 gsm versions recommended), then fastboot boot the recovery, run a superwipe (or format system, data & cache), & flash a gingerbread Rom or one of your nand backups.
- The correct HTC unlocked flashing process (ICS or GB) is to enter recovery via fastboot command prompt, format/superwipe, & flash the Rom (and/or kernel) as you normally would. (4ext Recovery is a solid workaround to using fastboot commands)

Doing what?
You might want to consider upgrading your firmware and getting S-OFF status. I have a guide here that can help.

Too late!
Ok so I followed someone's note to me that said I needed to relock the phone first. So following the instructions for relocking I did the "fastboot oem lock" and now I am "Relocked" but the phone only boots now to Bootloader/Fastboot.
What do I do now?
All I really want to do at this point is get the phone back working. I don't care about root as this phone is going to someone else.
Thanks

Hi
I think you need to downgrade to HBOOT 1.49.007 Because versions 1.50.00 and above have a restart issue with custom ROMS
The bad new is that you must spend your HTC EVO 3D S-OFF
I followed this thread to downgrade
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=17434661
Follow this thread to return to 1.49.007 version of hboot
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1906172
If you really want to s-on your phone after this downgrade, you can enter
fastboot oem writesecureflag 3
in fastboot mode, but i don't recommend it
Pay attention to these manipulations and does not hesitate to completely read all the tutorials and all comments.
goodbye,

Thank you everyone for your help.
Was able to re-lock it and find and install through the correct RUU.exe.
Now my wife has a phone again.
I just bought this flyer 3G version It was working with 2.3.4 when i bought it.
I've searched the entire XDA forum ,modaco and loads of the other sites. Been attempting this for 4 hours straight x 3nights in a row.
I've managed to get Bootloader unlock via HTCdev but still on S-ON because my hboot is 1.11.011 Flashed the Paul obriens modified HC boot 11.11.0011 image. I got revolution CWM and i can get into it but now suddenly fail to adb into it.

I think my flyer is in limbo.
CID=044 which is the HTC Asia WWE one.
I tried: Installing some custom ROM's as soon as i achieved bootloader unlocked. Tried the latest LOeeDroid etc. BUT they all fail at the HTC boot screen. Even after waiting for 10 mins. Yes I did extract the boot.img and flashed via fastboot due to s-on but still stuck at HTC boot logo.
Ran the RUU's directly from fastboot mode (i just double clicked on the exe from my PC) -HTC Asia WWE . but they all fail on installtion/ signature.

i tried the rom.zip extraction and renamed it to PG411MG.zip with the hope of the bootloader detecting and running it - it tried to install but failed -signature. I created a goldcard but not used this method yet as i had to format it and now i cant even connect to the PC -its as if it cant detect the device. I will try a ROM that is similar to my radio . But i cant connect to the Flyer -(adb- device not found)
Please help - ill gladly donate to a working solution. I dont know what else to do. I just want to get android working again passing the horrid HTC boot logo. i dont mind stock etc just need my flyer to work.
Been ROMing since HD2
UPDATE: SOLVED
none of the stock RUU I tried installing was successful because I had Unlocked the Bootloader.
All I needed to do was' fastboot oem lock' and it relocked. RUU will only install on locked bootloaders.
While still in fastboot I ran the RUU from my PC and it worked. Installing while tears of joy rolled down my tired eyes.
So I'm now on an older hboot and achieved S-off,rooted and made my flyer into a phone + Bluetooth.
Flash the stock rom

I have been through and still in this mess since last afternoon, totally noob at the beginning, so forgive my stupid mistakes please.
1. I tried to use cwm v4.0.1.4 to flash the cm9-20130310-nightly-shooteru.zip (with gapps-ics-20120429-signed.zip)into the phone, and wiped cache and data before install zip. But after the installation, the phone just stuck at the HTC logo screen, fastboot mode and cwm are still available.
2. Flash in the boot.img but no luck.
3. Tried the official RUU_SHOOTER_U_ICS_35_S_htc_Asia_HK... but error 155 was reported.
4. Then I do some google and drag the rom.zip file from the RUU, renamed it to PG86IMG.zip and copied it to my SD card. FASTBOOT loaded the file, but the situation doesn't change a bit.
5. Google again, change my CID according to the android-info.txt extract from the ruu rom, relock the phone, and the RUU installed successfully, at least it looks like that at the moment, but it comes out that it just stay in boot loop.
6. Now I dont even have the official recovey(also boot loop), unlocked it again thru htcdev, tried to flash in the cwm touch v5.8.0.2 for shooteru, did not work. So status right now is unlocked, s-on, hboot 1.53.0007, no recovery, keep rebooting.
7. Exhausted and frustrated, I come here for any help. It's driving me crazy now, 'cause this is a friend(a girl indeed)'s phone.
I really need your help, pls!
Appreciate any relate information and concern in advance!
#################################################
rerun the ruu and set to the factory mode in hboot, problem solved!
forgot to mention
I don't know if this still matter though, I can see the cm9 robot screen after the RUU install failed in the step 3 because of wrong cid, but it stuck about 20 minutes, so I changed to the RUU method.
I think you have to be on an hboot 00007

thank you, I found out this and solve the problem by reinstall from the ruu, forgot to delete my post.
I bricked my EVO-3d GSM phone, I tried to flash different ROMs while my rooted phone was on s-off mode ,
Then one of the ROMs destroyed or bricked my phone, which means after flashing that ROM I just get HTC logo and nothing goes on.
Amazingly I think I made a soft brick since I can boot into bootloader and flash PG86IMG.zip files or boot into recovery 4EXT recovery (which works fine).
Then I read on the forum I have to downgrade my HBOOT then I downgraded my bricked phone via SDCARD by PG86IMG(with hboot 11.49.0007)
So my boot loader screen is as follow:

Now I do not know what should I do next.
In fact how can I unbrick my phone (since I think my phone is not bricked that bad)
If there is any software approach (please let me know step by step) and If there is any hardware approach where I can find a comprehensive walk through and the required attachments,connectors,... to fix the problem
I can not detect my phone on USB (since I did not ADB debug on my previous phone rom) and I do not know how to enable USB adb in the boot loader.
Thanks
It's not bricked. Do you have a ROM zip. in root of your card? I think you should be able to flash ROMs in that state. Just don't flash the one that made your phone stuck in splash screen.

Yes I can flash but after flashing it shows white screen with htc logo inside it.
Is it working ? of preparing.
I waited for at least 30 minutes to realize if it is going to show life signals or not :crying:
Can you go to fastboot usb? If yes, try to unlocked your bootloader and flash a custom rom again..

Hi all, im a newbie to android rooting etc, so please be patient if I dont understand... XD
I will try to give a backround with a very detailed discription for those who might have the same problem, a similar problem or for those trying to help...
so I bought this beast in Feb with stock software on: this was my 1st root, s-off attempt :

1st attempt quote from post
Hi there,
Developers, gonna be developers and android noobs
I got a small issue with mu EVO 3d GSM...
Firstly Id like to apologize if this has been asked...
Problem: I need to get past BOOTLOADER BLOCK !!!
Before you carry on reading -
Bought this phone online, from China, Original HTC!!! but with 1 or 2 chinese apps installed, Android 2.3.4...
This was standard when I first entered bootloader (out of the box)
***LOCKED***
SHOOTER_U PVT SHIP S-OFF RH
HBOOT-1.49.0012
RADIO-10.13.9020.08_2M
eMMC-boot
What is suprising is it needed to say Locked and s-on...
So I wanted to root and s-off...
Tried Revolutionary... Everything ran well, after 2nd reboot into bootloader, error - Communications between phone and PC has been interrupted
After that I retried and it said - 'Your device is already s-off' then it wanted to download and install CWM Recovery 4.0.142 Revolutionary...
HTCDEV - Step 13 didnt happen, it just stayed on the normal bootloader screen (in Fastboot USB)
Flashed a earlier version of HBOOT (1.49.007) before Revolutionary ROOT method(revolutionary didnt support HBOOT 1.49.0012), i noticed everytime i 'completed' revolutionary method with error, my HBOOT changed to 1.49.1107 for some reason, IDK
Now my bootloader setup is:
***Revolutionary***

HBOOT-1.49.1107
RADIO-10.13.9020.08_2M
eMMC-boot
In CWM Recovery - I flashed SU.zip, it removed /bin and /xbin, and wanted to start copying or rooting file and then showed an error msg 'installation aborted', booted into ROM and SU app requested SU access???
BTW... downloaded and tried 3 RUU's all 3 for 3d of course and all 3 gave the same error - MODEL ID ERROR (i need the correct model) and in fastboot...
Use same Rev code : fastboot flash unlocktoken Unlcok_code.bin
Half the time it is done successfully but with no disclaimer screen (stays on fastboot) and changes hboot to 1107
OR
Gives error (Remote : Partition no avaiblable) or (Remote : not allowed)
Try fastboot oem lock, Doesnt lock and same result as mentioned above and every now and then it says loading custom splash sceen failed, htc disclaimer screen???
If anyone has had this problem or similar, please help, I would really appreciate it
Thnks in advance!!!
END
Now, Ive got a similar problem,
HBoot
1.58.5858 Jpbear
Unlocked
So I flashed the RUU_Shooter_U_TWM_TW_1.23.921.5_Radio_10.55.9020.00_10.13.9020.29_M_release_207920_signed.exe, it was the closest I could find with HBoot 1.49.0012 and gb 2.3.4...
Okay, np it flashed it with no problems... but little did I know, I lost root, bootloader relocked with disclaimer screen and lost s-off... Im buggered
So after messing around including almost bricking my phone, flashing new hboots, trying htcdev unlock with rogers, EMEA and sprint, no luck...
The only result is it showing the disclaimer screen (as mentioned in 1st boot attempt) that i cant select yes...
I tried flashing recovery, however when I flash recovery, it either hangs with HTC screen for a min or two then reboots or just hangs there forever...
Somewhere along the line I tried booting into Android and it jut boot in fastboot, for some unknown reason it also didnt pickup the PG86IMG.zip file I had on, it actually didnt pickup and PG86IMG files???
I also came across writesecureflag 3 in fastboot, gave it a try and it gave me a ***security warning***...
After that, I coud flash a PG86IMG but when I tried the htcdev unlock, I select ye, no response, removed battery and it said ***unlocked***, but when I flash a recovery, it flashes recovery in cmd but cant boot into it or it just doesnt flash onto the phone???
Somehow in between all of this I could get past the "yes" in unlock bootloader which was pure luck of the joy of the moment made me forget what I did before, I also tried flashing these RUU's
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

When booted in TWN-TW RUU, I could install Rom manager and flash CWM through that but through fastboot, it didnt boot through it
fastboot flash recovery recovery.img
fastboot boot recovery.img
RESULT: hangs on htc screen for a min or 2 then reboot into OS
Now im currrently on Asia ICS, hboot jbear 1.58.5858, htc recovery...
And in want of root, s-off, and most important able to Unlock Bootloader by selecting yes with a response,
please ANY help would be of use
thnx in advance
Its not much but will have a small paypal reward for those who helped (btw it will prob help others aswel)

wow, you got a used or refurbished 3d which was already s-off. if you had posted before doing anything ,all you needed to do was flash a recovery and flash su zip. When you have s-off with custom hboot, like you had, you cannot unlock through htcdev and you don't have to. S-off with custom hboot means you can already flash any hboot ,recovery,Rom ,kernel or any mods.
You never needed HTC dev unlock.
you said.you are s-on with jbear.hboot? I.don't think.that's possible ,.check again if it's s-off or s-on . If it's s-on then it cannot be jbear.
You never lost s-off when you ran the RUU, you lost s-off by running the write secureflag command . It was your luck you were on stock.hboot , if you were on custom one,your evo 3d was dead for sure. Now flash the RUU that is made for your phone. then follow instructions from unlimited.io or ramjet73's thread , flash recovery then su zip. If you want another Rom you can directly flash that Rom without su.
Again, you never needed the htcdev. But now you will need it for the wire trick.
Thnx for responding, u made my day xD

So, okay, I messed around abit more, not as if I could do any further damage besides bricking LOL
So this is my position and will leave it till next response...
***Relocked*** (can unlock, relock np because of s-on, if s-off, I cant, it just hangs after selecting yes, no response)
HBoot 1.49.0012
I have fastboot and OS access,
cant flash recovery or zip, etc, can change cid
Hboot doesnt read PG86IMG.zip files at all,
Goes through PG86... list, hangs 2 sec on PG86IMG.zip, says checking or parsing PG86IMG.zip for less than a sec then 'cancels', goes to hboot screen
Rev tool does not work
1st attempt - (1st line)Zerging root...
result- Cannot aquire root
for 2nd consecutive to 3,4,5,etc attempt
- goes to 2nd line in rev tool,
result gives error Communications with phone stopped,
When flashing recovery, it flashes perfectly, when fastboot boot recovery.img or hboot>recovery, hangs for a while then reboots
So flashing files through fastboot is a no go (generally gives error > remote:not allowed)
Thus conclusion, im considering the downgrade/unbrick method but It doesnt pickup and PG86IMG files (check exact speeling p.s. have done this alot)
I did a day ago aquire root, 4ext recovery but wanted unlock boot loader, so s-on, the only way to unlock, then got myself to this delema, stupid I know :silly:
So if you have any tricks up your sleeve, let me know please and thnx
