Guys,
I followed this guide to unlock my phone and gain superuser access step by step:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1239821
I then installed Rom Manager, and restarted in Recovery.
I placed this zip: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1421065 onto my SD Card, and did not rename it. Once in recovery I installed that ROM. It installed with no errors however now the phone gets stuck at the htc logo screen.
Any thoughts?
What was contained that .zip file you flashed, and did you make a backup of your system before you flashed?

Did you wipe data cache and dalvik? If not wipe again. If it bootloops again try pushing the kernel with fastboot.

The .zip contains the following files:

kernel
META-INF
sdcard

mike, can you tell me how to push the update with fastboot, I'm kind of new to all of this telephone wizardry
I can get into FASTBOOT/HBOOT/RECOVERY, however nothing I do seems to help me get past the HTC Logo. Any thoughts? Maybe I'm not waiting long enough? Can someone please tell me exactly what I need to do (if I can even do something). I might just be approaching this whole process the wrong way.
Do I install a ROM from ZIP from Recovery? Do I need to fastboot an .img file first?
Sounds like your hboot 1.5 and your phone is hanging due to you need to place a copy of your recovery in your adb folder...
The while in Hboot
Using adb with phone plugged in and debug turned on
fastboot boot recovery.img
Then wipe and flash the rom you were trying to flash...
You can't just flash a rom with recovery since your s-on
Two methods
One is fastboot boot recovery.img which is easy
Other is boot.img pain in the ass
I tried booting directly into recovery like you just said. I am using TWRP recovery.img file.
Can this be caused by the type of ROM that I am trying to install?
Everything works fine, the .zip gets applied and seems to install correctly, but it still hangs at the htc logo.
I also forgot to mention that originally I used Clockwork Recovery Mod, which i got from the market, and selected the option to boot into recovery. I don't know if that makes any difference.
You should Google shooter ruu. Get back to stock. Retry this with another shot at reading the instructions.
You must plug your phone into pc while in fastboot and give it a command to boot recovery recovery.img .
Then reflash a rom.
Read more I'm hboot 1.4 and I can still flash a 1.5 hboot correctly cause I've read how to.

[Guide] My Hboot 1.50 HTC Unlock/recovery/rom/kernel flashing notes http://forum.xda-developers.com/show....php?t=1495358
If u have updated your phone to the newest radio in the 2.17.651.5 update you may have problems if the Rom is based on an earlier kernel/radio like I think Warm is, but I could be wrong.
You may have flashed the Rom incorrectly & not had the kernel get flashed causing the boot loop.

Hi people facing a problem with my Phone. The problem is it won't reboot to system anymore even when i select system after going into reboot menu in Team Win Recovery Project v2.2.1 ...What happens is when i select system in the reboot menu, it boots to my Teamwin recovery instead of system but when i select power off or recovery or bootloader it goes into those fine. I even tried factory reset from bootloader and from Teamwin recovery but it still reboots to Teamwin recovery. I just want it to be able to get to my system again so i can have everything working..
This is what i did before it became like this. I was on HTCevohacks on the HTC evo 4g lte roms page trying to install CM10 ROM for Rooted HTC Evo 4G LTE! [Android 4.1.2][STABLE]. i downloaded CM10 Rom zip file and Gapps 4.1.2 zip file. i put both on my external storage then tried to install them and fail but before that i made a backup of my System, Data and Boot on my external storage. When it failed i factory reset from recovery without restoring backups and it started up perfectly, i even set up my phone interface again linking my google mail and wifi connections. next i went back to recovery and restore my backups from my external storage and that's when i couldn't get back to system. I still have my backup files. They are boot.emmc.win, boot.emmc.win.md5, data.ext4.win.md5, system.ext4.win and system.ext4.win.md5...
this is my HTC evo 4g lte specs..

I don't have a boot.img to flash that i know off so where do i get my boot.img so i can flash it and have my system running again?
Pull the boot img from the rom your flashing. You should probably read the "don't panic " thread stickied in q&a. All your answers are there

Yes, that makes a lot more sense, i think i flashed twrp as a kernel without knowing it that's why booting system boots to twrp..bout bro i'm still new to this whole thing so please explain step by step how i can flash a Rom with kernel installer or fastboot kernel or provide a link to a guide..please my phone is off nd i'm missing out on calls, i really need to put it back to normal nd not miss with it anymore..i appreciate your first help..
You need to find a ROM that is son friendly, like meanrom. It will flash the whole ROM including the boot.IMG just like you would if you were s-off. It doesnt need anything extra done on your part. Or you need to extract the boot.img from your cm zip and fastboot flash that. In order to fastboot flash the kernel you need to set up adb. Google how to set up adb on windows or Mac or Linux or whatever os your computer is.

Meanrom has a kernel installer, just leave it alone for 5-10 minutes to install. Or to flash kernel manually, when you are ready to flash a Rom extract the boot.img from the Rom zip and use uniflash, bootimg flasher, or fastboot to flash it. ADB Tools and HTC drivers are all you need to flash the kernel through fastboot. Just extract folder and place boot image inside. In windows you can hold shift and right click, select open command window here for the terminal. Then connect phone I'm fastboot (bootloader/fastboot) and type fastboot devices to make sure the pc sees it. Type fastboot flash boot boot.img and then boot recovery and flash rom
[FIX] & [DOWNGRADE HBOOT] - Stupid Bootloop with HBOOT 1.58 EVO 3D - UPDATED 1-7-13
My friend's phone had the annoying bootloop problem. I'm posting this because after a lot of searching, I found nothing to fix the bootloop, just people asking about it. Here's a simply fix.
BOOTLOOP FIX:
If you already tried unlocking/ and you're still S-On, then set everything back to stock:
Flash the attached stock recovery,
fastboot oem lock to be locked again.
Use the latest RUU to update the phone.
At this point the stock, locked phone should function normally.
I have busted this phone a ton of times trying to get different recoveries and roms to work, and this method has always fixed the bootloop.
At this point you can try whatever tutorial you like to downgrade or customize the phone...and if it breaks, hopefully this method will still work for you. If it doesn't work the first time, try running the RUU a second time. Or third.
CUSTOM RECOVERY:
If you want to unlock and install custom stuff:
Use the HTC Dev unlock method.
Fastboot install CWM Recovery v5.8.0.1 from their website -
The ONLY recovery that I've found to be compatible with HBOOT 1.58 is CWM v5.8.0.1. Everything else leaves the phone in an infinite bootloop. Maybe others have had different experiences.
To fastboot install the CWM recovery, rename the file to recovery.img (for simplicity) and type in a command prompt (same directory as fastboot and recovery.img):
fastboot flash recovery recovery.img
Then, to enter into recovery, either pull the battery and enter recovery through the bootloader menu, or type in:
fastboot boot recovery.img
This should get you into the working CWM recovery. If it doesn't, it's because HTC hates people that buy their phones.
If you feel like giving up and running stock, all you need to do is reflash the stock recovery, and relock the phone using fastboot oem lock - and now it should run the stock rom...and if it doesn't, then rerun the RUU. Tedious.
HBOOT Downgrade & S-Off:
If you have: Stock 2.89 RUU / Locked / S-On
Unlocked with HTC Dev method
Flash CWM 5.8.0.1 from the CWM website:
fastboot flash recovery recovery.img - then
fastboot boot recovery.img (to enter recovery)
Flash the SetMainVersionLOW.zip file attached (thanks ramjet73)
Relock the phone with: fastboot oem lock
Use the Unknownforce/closeone hboot downgrade with live CD using the 2.89 RUU's rom.zip (from windows temp folder) renamed to PG86IMG.zip - go to the Unknownforce/closeone thread for this part: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1563342
Then flash the standard 1.13 RUU on your windows system (may also work with the PG86IMG.zip method, have not tested)
Then use revolutionary 0.4pre4 to S-Off
Finally, you need to flash a custom recovery which you can do from revolutionary, or from fastboot as listed above. Once the recovery is installed, you should be able to install a compatible custom rom and kernel.
You bootloader screen should now say REVOLUTIONARY on top instead of UNLOCKED or RELOCKED etc... and show HBOOT 1.40.1100.
Thanks to Unkownforce, closeone, and ramjet73 for making this possible.
PS. Screw up your phone at your own risk.
In case anybody was wondering, the RUU I've been using is the latest one at the time of this post: RUU_Shooter_ICS_35_S_Sprint_WWE_2.89.651.2_Radio_1.09.00.0706__NV_NV_SPCS_1.43_release_271101_signed.exe
If by "reset s-on" you mean to switch s-off to s-on using the "write secureflag 3" command, then there is no need to do that., you can directly run RUU.exe on S-OFF and any recovery (hboot needs to be one of the stock versions I guess, I dont know for sure).
And I dont know if theres any relation with hboot version and recovery but TWRP and 4ext recovery works for every hboot. And if you are s-on, you dont always have to flash boot.img seperately using fastboot if you turn smartflash on.

Yeah, don't ever do the write secure flag command. That's bad news. Running a ruu will not s- on, and you're better staying s-off

As others have mentioned, this is completely unnecessary. Once you're s-off htc's unlock is a non-issue and you can run any RUU you wish to at any time.
I know of no reason whatsoever where someone would need to set S-ON once it's off.

@xHausX
Totally agree. The only reason to set S-ON once S-OFF is achieved is to return to 100% stock for warranty service or to sell the phone.
Nice to see you in these parts again and Happy New Year!

The CWM recovery version (6.0.1.4) you attached to the OP gives an error about accessing mmcblk0p34 when used with the engineering (ENG) bootloader, which a lot of Evo 3D users have installed to run GB or AOSP based ROM's. The current version of TWRP2 (2.3.3.0) has a similar error about the misc partition and I don't know if those errors will affect anything else or not. Apparently those errors are caused by variations in the emmc partition layouts with different bootloaders.
I prefer to use 4EXT which doesn't show any errors once cache+dalvik are formatted.
ramjet73
I updated the OP. I read somewhere else that it was necessary, this phone was never S-Off, so I wasn't sure.
Thanks
Everytime i run the ruu for my 3d it will finish as it has completed and boot. But whenever i remove my battery to switch it with a secondary, i used to do this before bed every night, i get a bootloop and cant boot untill i boot into bootloader and select the recovery option which wipes the phone and boots untill then next time i remove the battery. Why wont the RUU fix this? ive ran it multiple times. And also whenever im in the stock recovery and i select factory reset or any of the options i get "invalid option" "sucess rebooting by reason oem-00" what does this mean!?! can this be my sd? cause i cant mount cache recovery command or mount anything in recovery for that matter. if i need an sd ill buy one. just dont wanna find out its not my sd. and ive run the RUU about 7 times in total and nothing helps. thanks

Yeah, I put WIP because it still never worked right, it was just the only one that ever actually loaded. I still hate this phone, I wish HTC was as nice as Samsung. It's so easy to work with Samsung, I always get mad trying to work around HTC's crippling B.S. Still better than Motorola though.

put your phone into the bootloader by holding the volume down key while turning it on.
Assuming you have the sdk tools, or some basic set like QADERSO.zip:
select fastboot from the bootloader menu, then connect it to your computer with a usb cable (should change to fastboot usb)
in a command prompt (or terminal window, depending on your OS)
Go into the folder containing both fastboot and the recovery.
Type in: fastboot flash recovery recovery.img (rename the stock recovery included in the OP to just recovery.img)
Once that is complete, you will have the stock recovery.

Re: [FIX] & [DOWNGRADE HBOOT] - Stupid Bootloop with HBOOT 1.58 EVO 3D - UPDATED 1-7-
Dang it! Why does it seem like developers have quit developing fully functioning roms for this phone? I live in a good 4g area so those roms without it are out of the question for me. And the others are having major issues with cameras, video playing, text messaging that keep it from being a daily....
And after using jellybean these ICS roms feel very incomplete even though they're more functional. I know you developers are busy people but please, can ICS get freshened up. Or just ignore me if y'all think the camera/text thing will be resolved very soon.

Are you s-off or s-on? If you're s-on you need to manually flash the boot.img if you dont know what that is. I can explain later. But if you're s-on you need to manually flash the boot.img. On your computer take the zip. Extract it with any zip. It will give a folder. In the folder there will be a boot.img, take this out. Place it in your adb and fastboot folder. Then boot the phone into fastboot
fastboot flash boot boot.img

Sorry I'm replying a little late.. And yes!
1. Take the original zip extract it. Open the folder that it makes, there should be some items in it. One being "boot.img".
2. Take the boot.img and move it to your adb and fastboot folder.
3. From there, put your phone in fastboot (volume down + power, then first option)
4. Make sure phone is picked up
fastboot devices
If your device is picked up, you're good to flash the boot.img
fastboot flash boot boot.img
It'll send the boot.img. write it, all that fun stuff.
fastboot reboot
Be patient as the first boot can take up to 20 minutes. Report back or if I need to reword anything I will.

Edit: after getting your phone to boot. I would suggest running rumrunner. It will get you S-off. http://rumrunner.us/ go through here. Use the universal .0.5.0 if you have any questions, there is a thread in general about rumrunner working for the rezound. If any other questions. Feel free to ask here or PM me.
@pball52998
I recommend at minimum 3 s-on flashes to get acquainted with fastboot and ph98img flashing. It helps reduce end user error when flashing roms.

Hey, I have htc evo 3d gsm (shooteru). I unlocked the bootloader using htcdev.com and installed clockworkmod recovery. Then I changed cid to HTC__001 and tried to flash a gingerbread ROM in preparation for using the flashmaniac tool to downgrade my hboot (1.53.0007 -> 1.49.0007).
But when I tried to flash the gb rom the recovery said that installation finished but the phone did nothing after reboot. So I took out the battery and went into bootloader and everything looked the same as before the flash attempt. So I tried once again with same result. Then I powered off the phone and now when I turned it on again it only shows the HTC logo for a few seconds and then nothing (the buttons at the bottom have their lights turned on though).
Any ideas?
Yes, hboot version not compatible with gb rom, and or boot partition didn't get flashed. Unlocked but s-on doesn't let boot partition have write if booted into recovery in a normal way.
So yoy can get boot.img from install zip and flash with fastboot
fastboot flash boot boot.img
Or you can reinstall from recovery if booted from fastboot command.

I know , it just didn't work for some reason before.
So I flashed the boot.img and now it's stuck in a boot loop. Tried going to cwm recovery and wiping various caches etc and flashing again, and flashing boot.img again but it still goes into boot loop.
I would just use the flashmaniac's tool anyway because I don't care about any data on the phone or anything, but it seems that it requires the phone to be booted before it can start the downgrade.
What should I do? Try to flash other roms maybe? The one that I have now is EU_Shooter_U-1.20.401.8_ROOTED.
So I extracted a rom.zip from a RUU but it won't flash from cwm "Can't open /sdcard/rom.zip (bad)", should I try to flash it with adb/fastboot? I'm worried that the zip may be broken (even though archive manager integrity check says its fine).
Would this work with shooteru/GSM?
[TOOL] Ultimate Recovery Tool 3.1 (Unbrick, Downgrade, VM Radio Fix/Reset)
I'm thinking it might be a way to sidestep the boot loop problem that I have now, just relock the bootloader and follow the instructions until I get HBoot 1.40.something like the guy in the video?
Do I need some special drivers when using the RUU executables on Windows?
So I've got it to work. The problem was what jcfunk said (both of the things he mentioned, actually), I was trying to flash a GB rom when I should have tried an ICS rom instead (lol). After going to ICS RUU, I did the wire trick (unlimited.io) and now everything works nicely and I can get the latest roms.
Glad to hear.
