While trying to restore my Rezound to Stock, I was able to Relock the bootloader but then I haven't been able to get past the Hboot or Fastboot screens to load the ROM. I can't get to recovery or anything. I've tried loading the recovery by using "fastboot flash recovery recovery.img". For some reason it fails. I have the recovery file in the same place as the fastboot file. I'm not sure why it doesn't work. What should I do next, been trying for hours now to get a ROM to boot up... Thanks for your help!

you cant flash a recovery file while the bootloader is locked.
Are you on the latest OTA? ICS Leak?
You probably don't have the correct kernel installed. Coming from ICS to GB I'm assuming?

You need to unlock again before flashing a recovery

Thanks! It's working now...
Thanks guys! I just had to unlock again and the phone booted up fine! Now I just have to find where I went wrong trying to go back to stock. I believe I may have the wrong "tools" in my root folder?
Go into hboot and type in everything starting at the top. With this info we can help you further.

If you want to go back to stock, you can lock the bootloader and RUU. You'll have to use whatever version your firmware is currently on (so if you flashed the ICS firmware, you would have to use that RUU, if you're on older firmware, flash whatever GB one you're on).
Edit: You can flash to a newer RUU too, obviously, you just won't be able to go backwards again later.
If you have a custom boot image (kernel) or recovery (I think) then the stock locked hboot will have a ***SECURITY WARNING*** and will not allow you to boot. You can still RUU from this state. Unlocking the bootloader will allow you to boot. I believe you cannot RUU from an unlocked bootloader, but I don't remember for sure.

All you need to do is htcdev unlock. Since you have s-off, it will unlock the bootloader.
Or flash an older hboot via PG86100.zip.

tnx for reply but i whana to know how to get back s-on..not unlock bootloader
If you want S-ON, just flash the latest RUU. I see you have shooter_u which is GSM but I don't know your carrier. Here is a link to the shipped ROM collection for all version of the EVO 3D (CDMA and GSM).
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1208485
once you have flashed the stock ruu your bootlaoder will show relocked but you will still have s off so in order to for it to show s on you will have to open cmd boot the evo into hboot and connect usb cable hit the power button and you should be in fastboot next in cmd you will typ fastboot oem write sacureflag3 and this will put your devise back to s on if my memory serves me correct

Tnx man,, can u tell me if i stay with s-off and with stock rom can i get normaly OTA ICS update when its realese?
you can get ota update's with any ruu you flash aslong as your not rooted
has anybody succesfully gotten rid of ***RELOCKED*** on the 3d after rooting? i went back to stock so i am s-on again but want to get rid of the relocked message.
I have a gsm model. Reflashed ruu via pg86img to older version from my carrier. Then fastboot command 'fastboot oem writesecureflag 3' and then I was back to s-on showing lock not relock

Same here got the ruu from xda then run the ruu then head to %TEMP% folder in windows and copy the rom.zip then rename it to PG86IMG.zip place it on sd , boot into bootloader on phone and update. this makes your phone like brand new from factory then connect to pc open command prompt and type "fastboot oem writesecureflag 3" this turns s-off too s-on after this reboot bootloader and you will see ***locked*** s-on
But to do that, you have to be s-off first.
Otherwise there's no way to flash the img via bootloader if i'm not mistaken.
I just tried it (s-on / relocked) and neither the flashing or the fastboot command works unfortunately

cant you use the revolutionary method to s-off then flash the ruu zip? then use the command to s-on again. worked for me on hboot 1.4.9.0018 this gives you ***locked*** not relocked!

HTC Warranty.I'm from Europe
ok i do have sprint...i want the locked message...not relocked.
For me on Sprint version, no matter what I did it would show relocked if I was on hboot 1.50. If i was on hboot 1.40 it was fine. So I stayed 1.40 on went s-on. But HTC may actually upgrade it and check. Not sure.
so if im hboot 1.50 and root, i could downgrade to 1.40 then flash a ruu to loose root and it will show locked in stead of relocked?
does this work if i unlocked the bootloader with the HTCDev method instead of revolutionary?? my evo 3d is GSM
So my rezound is stuck in Hboot, only boots to Hboot. I tried the update yet again and this time it is really screwed up. I can't flash anything in adb commands/fastboot commands. My Hboot screen reads:

I tried re-flashing a different Hboot, that would not take. Could not flash recovery, and it fails every time I try to flash the RUU, either 3.14.605.12 0r the either of the new 4.xxx.xxx.xx.
Any help would be nice, Thanks
edit: When I try to flash firmware or RUU it starts to update, but it says Fail-PU next to everything. When I try to flash from command prompt it says image update error

Your hboot is not showing any radio???
Start fresh with a new download:
Go here: http://www.androidpolice.com/2012/0...ull-ruu-build-4-03-605-2-for-the-htc-rezound/ and download the latest RUU. Place it on your sd card, check MD5, and rename it to ph98img.zip . Reboot into bootloader and it should flash it.

Tried it and it did not work. Still Fail-PU next to everything. The only thing that is successful is #16 TP.
If you are reinstalling a Leak RUU you need to relock your bootloader.
troy7548 is right. Relock your bootloader and the latest RUU should flash fine (I'd do the most up-to-date one). Since you are S-OFF you don't need your BL unlocked. After you've gotten the RUU installed and everything boots, Delete the zip from your card then flash this firmware:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1843030
This will give you the latest firmware but re-enable fastboot commands on the locked S-OFF bootloader.

Yes my adb is up to date.
WARNING!!!
DO NOT attempt this process unless you are on a STOCK, HTC HBOOT.
S-ON with an ENG HBOOT will BRICK your device!!!
In other words, Only attempt this AFTER flashing back to a STOCK RUU. (as this will flash the STOCK HBOOT.)
I know the process JUST came out, but I'm sure this will eventually come in to use.
Instructions:
1) Download and run an RUU. Found HERE
2) Open a cmd window. Plug in phone, charge only mode, usb debugging on.
3) Run the following:
adb devices
adb reboot bootloader
fastboot devices
fastboot oem writesecureflag 3
fastboot reboot-bootloader
*verify you are locked s-on
fastboot reboot

Whatever it said when it was S-ON is my understanding. but since I haven't yet tested this for our phone I can't say 100%
From the looks of your post, I guess you sourced the information from http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1612937, which I also had bookmarked for my future reference. From that thread, here's how I understand it:
If we S-OFF then unlock, we can expect RELOCKED after S-ON.
If we S-OFF but keep bootloader locked, we can expect LOCKED after S-ON.
It doesn't look like we can expect a custom tag to stick around after S-ON.

scotty1223 said:
correct. only way to get locked back,is to turn s-on,then re unlock and re-s-off. and then,do not unlock after s-off. your hboot will stay locked and you can s-on again,if you need to. just keep in mind that turning s-on should only be done for warranty purposes.

Hi,
I need stock "Locked" bootloader.
I've RUU the DirtyRacun Phone by advice as an attempt to fix (SIM failed) and now the Phone is S-OFF with stock Hboot "RELOCKED". Had to unlock the device again for last fix attempts.
Will flashing with S-OFF with stock signed Hboot clear bootloader security flags changing "RELOCKED" back to "LOCKED"?
Now RUU doesn't deliver "Locked" bootloader status. Should I next Flash signed stock Hboot first? Or should I Flash a DR Hboot then RUU again?
Last I would do your posted above for S-ON from Fastboot down since OS locks (no ADB).
Don't want to brick my phone.
Thanks In Advance!
