i just bought a used evo 3d (have 2 more in the house also)
its running latest stock, unrooted rom
2.95.651.6
the problem is (like so many others) htc-dev unclock code is not unlocking the code in fastboot like it did with my other phones running same firmware
this is a common problem but not sure how to fix
all i want to really do is probable flash this firmware here "RUU_Shooter_ICS_35_S_Sprint_WWE_2.89.651.2_Radio_1.09.00.0706__NV_NV_SPCS_1.43_release_271101_signed"
then do the OTA again so i can then try to fastboot my unclock_code again
unless someone knows exactly what i need to do in the current state of the phone....
i have done ##786# and factory reset from hboot
nothing is working.

same issue here
Yeah I took that OTA update too and I'm kinda stuck. I can't seem to find anything that I can flash to make it work. Does anyone have a zip of the RUU and can you use the method where you put it on the root of the SD and rename it to flash an earlier version? Or will it just reject it after checking the version number?
If you are s-on u can't downgrade your firmware,u need to get s-off to perform this action

s-off without root?
Thank you for the reply. Is there any method for getting s-off without root because everything I've tried for root has failed (htcdev, wraiths temproot, srs root, etc, it's a long list). But if there's a way to skip straight to s-off that would be awesome. most of the phones i had were s-off as well. is there one? I have a linux system if it's are need for any methods.

I think this is the best tutorial to get s-off,good luck
Well the problem is that requires unlock and root so that won't work without an unlock that works for me.

Ok so I got some weird form of root that leaves me with just a black screen and the notification bar by interrupting the srs root after the reboot part. I can interact with it through adb shell so I'm going to try to see what I can do from here.

i tried that thinking it could be the same thing
when you move the vol up key up it actually moves the selection in that menu
i never selected with the power key because it was on the wrong selection
if i would have moved the vol key up and nothing would have moved i might have tried selecting with power button
try it out and let us know as i never went all the way through
i downgraded and reflashed 2,95.651.6 and it fixed it
HtcDev solution not working
Hey! @en11gma you are right. I tried that and it actually moved to Power down option.
I just want to root and install recovery.
I tried other methods posted in evo 3d forum. but none of these work for me.

Hey everyone, I am unable to unlock my bootloader after accepting this OTA. I just got an EVO 3D yesterday and I updated it as soon as I got it. I first checked to see if it was an HBOOT below 1.5, it wasn't so I went ahead and updated. However when i get to step 12 i believe on the htc dev site, I flash the unlock_code.bin and nothing happens just sits there. I read around and found people saying you need to take the 2.08 RUU, I tried that and when it gets to the black HTC screen I get an error 140. I was so excited to get this phone and already downloaded the rom i wanted before owning it. If someone can please help me out I would appreciate it. Thanks

Same here.
The same RUU I used to revert to the .2sw update to unlock two other evo3d's with hboot 1.5, will not work. Im unbelievably frustrated right now as Ive been sitting at this computer for over three hours. Please, if you find a way to downgrade your software, please let me know. thanks
not sure why you wanted to be on hboot 1.50. but shouldnt be a problem to unlock the bootloader, since it was just minor updates and still on hboot 1.50. id just try doing the process again.
i unlocked mine with unlock_code.bin that i used when i rooted my evo 3d for 1st time.....it worked fine.

I didn't want to be on hboot 1.5, I wanted to be below it. But when I first got my phone I checked the bootloader and was already at 1.5. If it was below that I would've been rooted right now...
to be a bit more clear it was hboot 1.5 with an OTA 2.08 when I first received the phone.

1st Check you bootloader .What it says at the top .(locked/unlocked/relocked) if it says unlocked you do not need unlock_code.bin.

That's the guide I used to HTC Unlock. Video helped. There is a post somewhere about needing to Re-flash the stock RUU.exe or Ruu.zip (renamed to PG86IMG.zip) to get the phone past the "nothing happens" step where you're supposed to get the "unlock" option screen on the phone. I haven't seen the 651.5 released as a complete RUU, but you could probably flash the 651.3 RUU, finish the HTC unlock and then run the 651.5 update. Heck, the unlock would probably work after the update, idk for sure.
I have some links and my issue with this below.

I have some tools and files for you to use that will give you temp root and allow a downgrade to 2.08.651.2 rom, hboot will still be 1.50 though. However from there you should be able to unlock via HTCdev method. I gotta upload the files and write the code which I will post up here in a second. I hope you are ok with using adb and fastboot.
This is my 3rd EVO 3D, had an hboot 1.4 and 1.5 previously, both unlocked, so I know both methods. My new one is another 1.5, but when I get to Step 12 of the HTC Unlock method, I get the correct response in ADB which is flashing the Unlock_code.bin to the Unlocktoken location. It replies that it flashed correctly but will not leave fastboot usb white screen. Any help here would be greatly appreciated. I did the FOTA Update that removed CarrierIQ and upgraded to the 2.17

OK, but how would I flash this if I can't unlock the bootloader to get to recovery? Do I just download the file and the rename it PG86IMG.zip and then copy it to the SD, then let reboot into the bootloader, and answer yes when it asks if I want to install the update?
You won't be able to run the lower 2.08 Ruu since u took the update. You have to use the full 2.17 Ruu.zip that xhausx posted, then the unlock will work. See guide/flashing notes in my signature for details & link.
Yes, the process u described is correct for using the zip.

Then do the HTC unlock crap again. It will then work.
You'll know because your phone will display a pop-up asking you if you want to unlock or not.

I would try it anyways. Can't hurt.
Im having the same problem. I am trying to root my Wife Evo 3D Sprint and when I push the unlock tocken, I dont get the splash screen on the phone to perform the unlock. After I type the command, the phone just sits there.
She did take the OTA and is on HBoot 1.58.
I cant get any of the RUUs to work because the boatloader and all the software on the phone is newer and the RUUs just fail on start.

Have you tried the 2.89 RUU that was linked in post #3 above? I flashed it after using virus's firmware upgrade and taking the Sprint ICS OTA and it still ran fine for me. It should be the same as the OTA, but I have more confidence in the RUU.

sending 'unlocktoken' (0 KB)...
OKAY [ 0.156s]
writing 'unlocktoken'...
(bootloader) unlock token check successfully
OKAY [ 0.000s]

FOUND SOLUTION..............
You have to download the RUU that matches the HTC Software on your phone. Go to settings > about > scroll down to Software Version and google search the RUU that matches.
Enable USB Debugging and let phone sit at home screen.
Run the RUU exe from withing windows on your PC wait for it to finish and and it will wipe phone in the process.
After it is done, boot to fastboot and run the HTC Unlock Token command again and this time you will get the prompt on the cell phone screen.
I spent 6 hours plus trying to root my wife phone wile tetherd from my Epic Touch GS2.
Samsung side of the world is a WHOLE lot easier. Everything is done within Oden for Samsung devices.
Anyway, there you go guys!

That's what I was recommending, except you don't have to relock your bootloader before running the RUU and unlock it after if you are S-OFF. And here's the downloads for the current RUU so others don't have to Google it.
Glad it worked for you.

apperantely people didnt read the htcdev website while unlocking. it clearly states it doesnt work properly unless on a 2.17.651.5 rom
htcdev.com said:
HTC has identified a known issue that may be experienced by some users with a Sprint EVO 3D that shipped with version 2.08.651.2, even if it was updated to a newer software version via FOTA. When attempting to unlock, a blank screen appears on the device after step 12 in the instructions and the process does not complete. As a workaround for users who experience this issue, we suggest you upgrade the ROM to 2.17.651.5 first via OTA then download and install the RUU from the table below to fix the issue before attempting the unlock process. This issue will also be fixed in the ICS update scheduled for EVO 3D.

That's odd, because the OP of this thread stated that it failed with hboot 1.5, which would indicate that he was already on the 2.17.651.5 build.
In any case, it appears that HTC unlock wants a pure stock configuration, so running either the 2.17 or 2.89 RUU before flashing the token should work.

no, he stated he could unlock with 1.5 but couldn't unlock with 1.58.

Im having the same problem. I am trying to root my Wife Evo 3D Sprint and when I push the unlock tocken, I dont get the splash screen on the phone to perform the unlock. After I type the command, the phone just sits there.
She did take the OTA and is on HBoot 1.58.

And 1.58 is the stock bootloader of the official Sprint ICS build, which is where HTC said it would be fixed. Of course it depends on how he got the 1.58 bootloader but the OTA should have been fine, and at least one person said they had problems unlocking after taking the OTA.

yea, they said it should be but it isnt. i cannot unlock mine either on 1.58 after installing the firmware updates but im already s-off so i just went back to the eng 1.04hboot since my current rom doesnt depend on 1.58 atm.

The firmware updates don't update you 100% to the 2.89 build. You need to flash the 2.89 RUU to do that, as has already been pointed out in this thread, and for some reason the HTC unlock appears to work after that. I really don't know what the difference is between taking the OTA and flashing the RUU is, but they should be the same.
For someone like you that is already S-OFF, you could always flash the JuopunutBear 1.58.5858 bootloader if you need to run the 2.89 kernel and get most of the benefits of the ENG bootloader. However, that bootloader will not work properly with GB and AOSP ROM's.

That's good. Now you also know that flashing the 2.89.651.2 RUU.exe will let you do the HTC unlock with the 1.58 bootloader.

I concur. I'm not a novice when it comes to unlocking bootloaders & rooting phones. I've unlocked more bootloaders through htcdev.com than I can count & this gentleman is absolutely right! HTC really needs to get it together! Samsung devices are so much easier to work with. You don't run into these stupid little problems with Samsung phones. Usually, what goes for one Samsung device goes for all!
I digress, but anyhow, I'm well aware that reinstalling the operating system on an EVO 3D via an RUU will allow the token that you get from htcdev.com to work, and I have used this fix several times in the past on the last Gingerbread OS (Software version 2.17.651.5), but here's my issue. I have an EVO 3D with S-ON & a LOCKED bootloader that was updated over the air to ICS & when I go to unlock the bootloader via htcdev.com, nothing happens & HTC claimed that this issue would be fixed with the ICS update, but guess what? It wasn't!
Nonetheless, you would think that reinstalling the ICS operating system (Software version 2.89.651.2) on the phone via an RUU or a PG86IMG file would work. Neither one works for me! Every time I go to run the ICS RUU, it throws back a 170 USB connection error & this is crazy because the RUU that I have for the last Gingerbread OS (Software version 2.17.651.5) never throws back any type of errors! It has worked on every single EVO 3D that I have had to use the fix on! I have tried running the ICS RUU several times and have used several different USB cables & have had no success whatsoever.
So what I did from here is requested for someone from the XDA community to create a PG86IMG for me so that I could see about reinstalling the ICS OS on the phone through the bootloader (Shout outs to Karl! He came through on this right away. Karl you are the man!). Unfortunately, when I go to use the PG86IMG file, it does all of this loading & appears as if it's going to work but ultimately goes back to the HBOOT home screen & doesn't give me an option to install the f'n operating system! This sh*t blows & I am all out of ideas as to what to do from here. I am basically stuck.
On anther note, I tried to use the ICS RUU that I have on another EVO 3D with no success, but I was successfully able to reinstall the ICS operating system on this same EVO 3D via the PG86IMG file that Karl provided. What in the world is going on here?! If anyone can offer any helpful advice, I'd certainly appreciate it. Thanx in advance. (On a side note this other EVO 3D that I was able to reinstalled the ICS OS on via the PG86IMG file has an UNLOCKED bootloader & is S-OFF. I don't know if this makes any difference, but I thought I'd share this anyway.)

The 170 error means that the RUU.exe can't find your phone. Make sure the phone is in "fasboot USB" mode in the bootloader, then try running "fastboot devices" from the PC directory you used to root your phone. It should come back with a serial number that starts with "HT". If it doesn't, you may have a problem with the USB port on your phone, although it probably won't go into fastboot USB mode in the bootloader if that is the case. If you get the serial number, try running the RUU.exe again from there. If you get a 17x error with the RUU.exe, usually restarting it will get past that error as long as you have the proper connectivity to the phone.

Confirmed, this worked for me. Thanks for your help! :good:
First off, I've gone through thread after thread hoping to find an answer, but simply have not.
I rooted my phone back in July and don't remember which method I used. I need to get my phone back to stock for warranty (I have a dead strip on my screen) and before I thought, I used SU to get back to S-On, but now I can't get back to stock.
I've tried to run various RUU's, more specifically regaw's version among others, but I haven't had any success. Every time I run an RUU it says that my phone is not connected to my computer. I've also downloaded the PJ75IMG and tried that method as well, but nothing happens.
Phone: Evo 4g LTE
HBOOT: 1.12.000

Do you have HTC Sync installed? I know that has been a issue for myself, if so uninstall that, and you will need to run the RUU for the Firmware you have. Also I have downloaded mine from this website. http://shipped-roms.com/index.php?category=android&model=Jewel

Got the correct firmware, started the process no problem. Now I've got an Error [155]: Unknown and that's as far as it'll take me. I've tried multiple times, and nothing happens. When the phone is supposed to restart it just sits there as if nothing happened to it at all. The RUU instructed me to restart the phone and do the recovery through the program. Once through, it says that I should now try to start the RUU again. and the same thing happens. Am I missing something here?
When running the RUU, are you getting a 155 Error Code?
Yeah, the Error 155 keeps coming up.

Yep, that's the problem I was having. Once I relocked the bootloader the RUU ran smooth as butter. Took a little while so make sure you have enough battery/have it plugged in.
