I bought my friend's used HTC Rezound he was selling to me for 15 bucks. He said he "broke" it by flashing a bad ROM, and he doesn't feel like fixing it because he already replaced it with an LG G2. I figured for that price, fixing it was worth a shot. Besides, I'm coming from a Rugby Smart, and by the looks of it, this phone is a LOT better specs wise! Anyway, I can't seem to figure out how to fix it...
So when the phone is powered on, it goes to the HTC white splash and freezes there. The only way to get it off is pulling the battery. I CAN however, boot into the HBOOT menu, go to recovery, and all that stuff. So I guess what I'm trying to do is restore this to 100% stock at this point. Apparently in order to do that, I need to make sure my bootloader is locked and "S" is set to on. My "S" is on, however the bootloader is unlocked. Can someone please explain to me how I would go about fixing this phone, in a step-by-step fashion (if possible)? I would normally know what I'm doing, but this is the first HTC phone I've had, and I don't know how to use HBOOT, let alone RUU's and all this other stuff I read about for restoring this phone to stock.
Thanks.
EXCITING UPDATE: I found out how to use fastboot to re lock the bootloader, so that's done now. Also, not sure what i did, but now whenever I try to boot into recovery it gives me a security warning and I can't access it (so now I have no way of flashing ZIP's, unless there's some way of using the fastboot command on a computer to do this). I'm no expert on HTC's, but I'm getting the feeling this recovery issue seals the deal that this phone is not getting fixed, but I guess we'll have to see...
You need to flash a ROM and then MANUALLY flash the boot.img when S-On. Your friend probably didnt flash the boot.img, that is the cause of this issue 9 out 10 times this condition occurs.
What recovery, radios and hboot do you have?

-- I tried extracting the .img file which was called boot-signed.img from the RUU zip file and I tried flashing that separate from everything else but it did not work and still brought me to the white screen.
And please excuse me for delays in responding, I'm a new user and thus have to wait 5 minutes before new posts or edits are made

I would if I could, but I don't think I can. Whenever I try to start recovery that's where the mysterious security warning appears and recovery fails to start.

STUPENDOUS UPDATE: I just thought of this for some reason, when doing all of this, do i need the original verizon 4g lte sim in the sim slot for any reason? As you may have already guessed by me mentioning the rugby smart above, I plan to use this as a GSM with tmobile by putting on a GSM rom eventually. But my friend did give me the original verizon 4g lte sim card so if I need that just tell me what to do with it and when please.

OK, you are on the latest radios & Hboot, but relocked ... So we have a little bit of work to do here. Someone relocked the bootloader with custom recovery installed, not a smart thing to do. The first thing that needs to be done is to unlock the bootloader again. You will need a Windows 7 PC, Linux, or Mac OS X with ADB installed (Win 8/8.1 won't work), then go to HTCdev.com and follow the Unlock Bootloader procedure.

Does this process require me to be in my OS? Because I thought I read something that said I needed to be for this but i might be wrong. Because remember, I can't get into my os because im stuck at the htc white screen
EDIT: Wait, i remember doing something like "fastboot oem lock" which I think locked the phone. Could I just do the same command to unlock it?
ANOTHER EDIT: Bootloader is now unlocked. Ready to proceed.

Actually, most recent ROMs support GSM in Edge in the US... Better than that requires significant tweaking for a multitude of reasons... My suggestion would be Evervolv, Tachyon, or LiquidSmooth, best to stay with a known good ROM until we at least get working.
You should use an updated recovery, down load TWRP 2.6.3.0 extract the img file and place in the same directory as fastboot. Then start fastboot from hboot, connect the phone and once it says FASTBOOT USB type:
fastboot flash recovery (filename).img
Replace (filename) with the img name from the TWRP zip file, this will flash a current recovery.
Now copy the ROM zip to the root of the SD card. Also extract the boot.img file into the fastboot directory on your PC. Reboot into hboot and start recovery, go into Advanced and tick everything but external SD and wipe. Now back out to the main TWRP menu and install ZIP of the ROM.
Once that's done, reboot into bootloader and start fastboot, now type:
fastboot flash boot boot.img
Once its done, reboot!
If Gapps are requires, once the ROM is up, copy the zip to the SD card, reboot into recovery and install Gapps Zip.
Reboot and your done!

Thanks a lot! I would rather use the GSM rom that I mentioned because its almost done downloading and my connection is slow so downloading another would take forever. I'll keep you posted if anything goes wrong.
Once again, thanks so much for the help
UP-UP-UP-UPDATE!!!!: I found a Cyanogenmod of some sort on the sd card with a separate zip for gsm support so ill use that instead.

Back again, but this question isn't about an issue with installing ROM's, this is aimed at the GSM capabilities and how to "force" the phone to use it.
I put in my Tmobile SIM card, went into settings>mobile networks and changed the network type to Global. However, only about half of the time I turn on my phone the SIM card actually works. Sometimes, it will be working fine, and I reboot my phone, and when it comes up it no longer can find the GSM network. Then, maybe after 2-3 reboots and a battery pull, it works fine again. Other times, when I reboot, the GSM network still works fine when powering up. One time, I saw the GSM working, went to sleep for 5-6 hours, woke up, and it was no longer working. Any method I can use to somehow "force" the phone to use the SIM for Tmobile's GSM (if that's even the issue here)?
By the way, here is the ROM that I used. It advertises the fact that it is BOTH CDMA AND GSM in the title of the topic:

I am not familiar with that setting in CM, but I assume it is like most other ROMs for the Rez and under Settings->Wireless&Networks->More->Mobile Networks there is Preferred Network Type, you should be able to set it to "GSM/WCDMA Only" or go to Phone and dial *#*#4636#*#* (it will either pop up immediately or you might have to press Send) go to Phone Info and Set preferred network type to GSM Auto. I am pretty sure these both do the same thing though.
So when it doesn't work, does it say "NO SIM INSTALLED" or something similar? Does the phone know it's own number in Settings->About Phone->Status? Also, in the same place what signal strength are you getting?

My phone does see that I have a SIM card, because in the APN's it recognizes Tmobile and lists all the different APN's for use with Tmobile. when I type in the string of numbers and characters you mentioned, the first three things it lists are the following:
IMEI: (Don't know if this is OK to give away, so not going to say it, but it does have an IMEI number there)
Phone number: unknown
Current Network: T-Mobile
In the secret menu I even switched it over to GSM only and nothing changed. When I used to use my Rugby, I would get 4-5 bars of 4G signal in my home (not LTE, just plain 4G). So I know that my house is in no way a dead zone for the Tmobile signal. Let me know if you need any other information.
INTERESTING UPDATE: I went online and looked up the APN for Tmobile, and compared to what was on the phone it was slightly different, had to add a proxy server, change to IPV4/V6, and other small stuff. Rebooted, and it works now with EDGE like it did before. I'll keep this forum updated on anything in case my signal goes down again mysteriously.

so i went to switch out my battery and when i turned the phone back on it vibrated and displayed the white htc screen, then went black for a second and then stays on the white htc screen forever! Im a total noob when it comes to all the technical stuff about RUU's Kernels Roms and whatnot. I can get to bootloader, but i tried to do factory reset and it showed a green circle with a loading bar but then it changed into a red triangle with an exclamation. I tried flashing amon ra recovery but it doesnt work, although TWRP works. While in TWRP though, whenever i try to flash a zip file, it fails and says something like E:failed to mount /cache E:failed to mount /system E:failed to mount /data. Please help me i need this phone working to help me at my job. If someone can walk me through what i need to do i would REALLLYYYY appreciate it. Like i said though, i am a noob so i need realy stupified instructions lol. Thanks

First you should go to shipped-roms.com and download the vigor ics ruu.exe, the rezound downloads there are under vigor . Plug your phone into your computer and from hboot highlight fastboot press power and run the .exe file from your computer and follow the on screen instructions, this will return your phone to full stock ics. Make sure you download the vigor ics ruu.exe as the GB ruu will not work with s-on.
You can also download this: http://www.androidpolice.com/2012/0...ull-ruu-build-4-03-605-2-for-the-htc-rezound/ it's the latest ruu it'll update your hboot, stock recovery, rom, and radios, to latest stock. Just download, rename the zip file to PH98IMG (don't include .zip it is a zip file it'll add it on its own in hboot) put it on your sd card, not in a folder just on. Put it back in your phone and boot to bootloader and runn the update, when it powers off. Run it again. (As it has to update the hboot to 2.27 first)Then you'll be on the stock latest. Then root and Rom from there. Of you need help pm me for my gtalk and I could walk you thru it..

When i put it on the sd card as PH98IMG it looks like it loads it in the upper right then thats it. regular bootload screen after that nothing happens. try to load it by opening the application after im plugged in as fasboot usb and the program says Install script setup launcher has stopped working. I have been able to flash liquids rom and looks as if it is booting but waited 24 min and nothing happpend just stayed on boot screen. So im just trying to get back to RUU then work from there.

Yes i did reinstall my HTC Sync drivers, I have been wipining factory reset, cache, system, dalvick cache before i flash a new rom. I am S-On. Havent really determined a reason to go s-off yet, i am messing up my phone good enough with this let alone a paperclip. no problem with random reboots. I finally decided to go to a custom rom bc i was sick of my phone rebooting for OTA updates then being late for work. So the 3 roms i have now tried are Liquid smooth which i liked but i couldnt get mms messages to show up on phone. Also it wouldnt change from silent to a beep for text message notifications. i could select it but it would stay as silent. So.... I flashed ViperRezROm which i just didnt like the look and theme. So i finally flashed Cyanogen ROM and come to find out its the same kernal as Liquid smooth so it looks the same and I like that but I still cant change the notification from silent to a beep for text messages. So i never know when i get a text.
Still working on trying to flash a newer version of TWRP.
Then this time flashing I tried to titanium backup and went to load my backup and it cant find it.... WTF
UGH... Learning so much with this stuff. just taking alot of patience.
Thanks again for yalls support, I love this forum.

BTW just to note...if your bootloader is locked fastboot flash methods will not work 90 percent of the time...if you flashed liquid 3.0 that's more than likely your problem with mms as that is a beta...but on more recent 4.3 builds mms is fixed...and no its not the same kernel...just similar source code...liquid 2.9 does not have this mms issue...any random reboots on 4.2 are caused by min frequency not set right at 384 mhz and using amon ra to flash or not doing a proper clean flash....I do recommend s-off as it will make life much easier for you for modding things or flashing custom zips and for future flashing back to full stock if needed as its not possible while s-on...you can always pm me for help as I've yet to run into an error I can't fix unless posted in op caused by source

There is a few good reasons to S-Off.
1.No need to fastboot flash kernels
2.can RUU if needed
3.can flash recovery updates (cwm, twrp) as ph98img zips
4. Can keep bootloader ***locked***
5. No more ***tampered*** tag after you RUU
Scenario: you are out and about (or a computer isn't handy) somehow you are in an infinite bootloop. You nandroid restore. But it is something on boot partition. Only way to fix this while S-On is fastboot flashing a boot.img, but if you were S-Off, you would have restored the boot image from the nandroid.
Edit: added 5th reason

I finally went S-OFF to help another user get step by step to restore to fully locked and stock ruu. I decided to leave it S-OFF. It's so nice to be able to just load a rom and not have to do anything else (other than wiping). It makes changing/upgrading rom's a breeze.
I highly recommend it. It seems scary, but once you have done it once, you will not go back.
But be warned, never go back to S-ON on a non-HTC hboot... you will hard brick your device. That is the only real threat I've heard about... if you never go back to S-ON, then you have absolutely nothing to worry about. Just about any error can be fixed except for going s-on on a non-ruu hboot.
Thanks

Sooo, playing with rooting, been rooted for a couple days, flashed viperlte rom and had problems and decided to take it back to stock for now. Gonna be on the road and can't be 'experimenting'...attempted to go back to stock, by using the original RUU, and as I understood it, I needed to lock the phone back first. Didn't make sense as I was wondering how I could flash a Rom if it was locked back. After locking, when trying to go to recovery, it just comes back to fastboot. I can't get into the main phone--it boots to a screen, but no buttons work, although if i press volume up/down it shows it on the screen. What have I done?! I'll admit being a newb to phones, so please, some guru help me get back to something

Sooo, playing with rooting, been rooted for a couple days, flashed viperlte rom and had problems and decided to take it back to stock for now. Gonna be on the road and can't be 'experimenting'...attempted to go back to stock, by using the original RUU, and as I understood it, I needed to lock the phone back first. Didn't make sense as I was wondering how I could flash a Rom if it was locked back. After locking, when trying to go to recovery, it just comes back to fastboot. I can't get into the main phone--it boots to a screen, but no buttons work, although if i press volume up/down it shows it on the screen. What have I done?! I'll admit being a newb to phones, so please, some guru help me get back to something
Here's what fastboot shows:

download the ruu rename it PJ53IMG THEN transfer it to your sdcard via your computer and put back in phone and boot to bootloader, it should pick up the PJ53IMG, AND ASK YOU IF YOU WANT TO CONTINUE, hit volume up to sat yes.(put sdcard in an adapter and put in your computer to transfer) Also you want 2.17.605.2 ruu software. make sure the zip is on the root of the sdcard(not in a folder, then make sure after you transfer that the file doesn't have 2 zips on it (PJ53IMG.ZIP.ZIP)YOU WANT ONLY ONE ZIP

Thank you for the response. Tried this, it loaded the zip, then went to 'checking' and after that, back to the bootloader. Never asked me if I wanted to proceed. When rebooted it brought me back to where I was, a phone which appears to be up--clock works, wifi is on, but I can't do anything. I feel pretty confident the img is good. Thoughts?

XP PC, formatted fat32, put it on root...just tried a different ruu, searched the exact string, the 2.0... and got it from a xda forum member, so I feel confident in the ruu. It did the same thing, loaded it, checked it for about 2 mins, then returned me to the loader. I noticed SECURITY WARNING is gone from bootloader now, FYI. What else can we try?

This whole thing is acting weird, and I've been working on it for a few hours. I can't seem to get a rom actually working. Maybe I'm not waiting enough, but I left it there for five minutes on the boot screen and it did nothing. I've tried both OTA superstock and Ecliptic, neither to any avail.
Fastboot is being a *****. I've tried everything I can to get fastboot to work, and it will not. It just simply wont work. So I'm hoping someone has some ideas, because I would really like to make sure this isn't my first real brick. plz <3
What commands are you using? And what files are you trying to flash?
Sent from my HTC Rezound using Xparent Skyblue Tapatalk 2
I can help you with Ecliptic, which should have just been a simple reboot to hboot after rom flash and then normal reboot. What exactly is occurring? Are you getting "mainver is older" error?
I've tried flashing both hboot_7230ddr2_Runnymede_1.28.0006_20120424 and supermisc - and at this point, I believe the partition tables are borked. I currently have amonra for the recovery, and now when I try and install zip from sdcard it gets all lame and says it cannot mount it. I think what needs to happen first is through ADB I need to find a way to flash a full RUU or something. It used to have 4.03 on it, so I know I'm not far away from success.
oh and at no point has flashboot oem lock ever worked. No Flashboot command has ever responded with anything. I have uninstalled all HTC drivers, removed Sense, and installed just the revolutionary drivers, and they still don't work.
Win 7 x64 -
If the phone boots to hboot fine you should be able to get the ph98img ruu for 605.12 and put that on your SD card and have it reflash your phone. It will fix partition problems as well. Can you try that and report back?

Going by your info in post #4 it sounds like your trying to flash stuff meant for the Sensation XL. You can't do that, also to add you are s-on and if you try to load an eng hboot you WILL brick.
Run through this PH98IMG RUU in bootloader mode.

And make sure you allow the RUU to complete, it will run through twice. It will go to a black screen for several seconds and then it will start over again. Make sure you don't interrupt it. Iirc, it will end up in bootloader when it's done, or maybe it reboots the phone.
It will only run through once, hboot and radio versions will match.

Lol...yup...the small things get ya. Good luck finishing it up tonight. Finish ruu, unlock, flash custom recovery (I prefer the ph98img version of recoveries most of the time). Then load whatever ROM you want from recovery -or- continue rooting/setting up the stock ota ROM.

I still dont know why fastboot never worked :\ But yeah. That's literally all it was. The external SD card vs internal. I wish that was clarified somewhere. But I guess I know this going forward now!
I've got the RUU re-flashed, but I'm still stuck at the ecliptic boot screen. Ill try and do a fix permissions and see if that works.

If you are stuck at the boot screen it's likely you don't have the correct kernel flashed for that rom. Did fastboot ever work for you? If not, do you have a ph98img version of the kernel for ecliptic? Snuzzo will probably chime in here shortly since i think that's his kernel...
I do not have a zip of his kernel, and fastboot still doesn't work. When I try and flash twrp and gives the mainver is old error, and I don't have time to fix this before work. Hopefully someone gives me golden advice and I can get this thing fixed. Three days now :\
Snuzzo, I know you don't do this specifically for money, but I will be donating to you. You've been a huge help.
you as well dottat.
One thing that's strange is I still think my partitions are messed up. I tried using the misctool to write an image to /sdcard2 and no matter what I tried, I couldn't find it. What's strange is when I'm in a shell, it shows this really, really weird login, and keeps kicking me OUT of the shell every couple of minutes. I'm going to try and switch back to TWRP since that what was on this phone when I got it. And yes, the phone was in working condition, things have just inherently gotten worse. http://puu.sh/2XtmZ.png
<3 y'all
OK what status are you at currently and why are you trying to flash that particular partition? Youre getting mainver is older? Hmmmm
You still got the latest twrp on here? If so, flash erez v9 then flash this
http://d-h.st/FZc
That's a dual purpose kernel zip. Do a fresh kernel flash with it. It should also set your mainver properly.

If you let the RUU fun fully and you still have ecliptic boot screen showing you either didn't let the RUU fun fully or something really wonky is going on.. If you let the RUU run fully, you should have a stock rom booting by itself. Can we at least get to that point? We can probably get you around it. .but i would feel better starting from a fresh RUU.

@Snuzzo - what's erez v9? tried googling. Didn't see it in the guides on here either.
I bought this verizon DNA from craigslist 4 days ago. The guy says its unlocked for anycarrier. skeptical i checked the prl file and its the stock Verizon prl. I have been wanting to flash it to cricket, but I can't get diag mode or adb mode.
The entire folder "usb_composite" is missing.
So using Gscript with "echo 1> sys/devices/virtual/usb_composite/diag enable" don't work.
The weird part is I see a diag folder @ "sys/devices/virtual/diag" but no enable script. I've not been able to Flash any roms to the thing at all except the dang beanstalk rom that is on it. All I can do is float around beanstalk.

I have wiped, formatted, Tried to flash stock Hboot, recovery, rom, Ruu. Yes I tried Locking the bootloader per revert to stock instructions. I have tried both recovery and fastboot and even Ruu mode. Nothing.
Speaking of Ruu...Whenever I try to follow those instructions, the Ruu.exe tells me to turn the phone on and connect to adb, but the adb folder is missing from the phone. This thing is just junk for me unless i can get diag mode on the phone. Yes i do have all the needed drivers.
Halp!...please?
Can't you just flash a Rom that supports gsm network and your done? I'm not really sure what your trying to get done.

You probably need to be on a Stock Sense DNA Verizon ROM for that to be there.
Ok... pause... deep breath... everything will be ok... make sure you have adb installed and working properly and then continue with this post.
I posted two options to either Return to Factory Stock (Stock Rom, Stock Recovery)
or the Second option will unlock the bootloader so you can flash to a different ROM
You do NOT need to do both, but I suggest reading both and see which one you would prefer.
Both of these Options will wipe the device Clean including the sdcard.
Code:
OPTION 1
[Collection] HTC Droid DNA Firmware [RADIO][HBOOT][RUU]
Click that link, it will take you to my thread, go to the bottom of the OP and open the RUU Links section, go past the two RUU.exe files and there will be a little tutorial to return the device back to Stock
After you do this, you will need to download a new Custom Recovery (I recommend TWRP which can be found here: TWRP 2.6.3.0)
To flash this boot into bootloader again and enter this adb command
Code:
fastboot flash recovery name_of_recovery_.img
***Replace "name_of_recovery_.img" with whatever the name of that recovery is called.
========================================================================================================
Code:
OPTION 2
boot into bootloader and do this:
(There need to be eight 2's in this command when you type it in)
Code:
fastboot oem writecid 22222222
Go to www.htcdev.com and follow the "Unlock Bootloader" instructions, when you go to select the device you will pick "All other supported models"
HTC will give you a file called "Unlock_code.bin" You will use that to unlock your bootloader.
Now you can flash ROM's and whatever else you want to.

It's cdma not gsm. And I just said I have tried flashing roms. The only rom it will take is the stupid beanstalk that's already on it.
I would like to go back to Full Factory Stock. As it was when it was new.
Or if anyone knows how to get the folder back in place that would be helpful as well.
I know how to flash phones to cricket,sprint,ect...
I know how to flash Roms, Hboot, Recovery. I have and a Ruu on my HTC One.
This retarded phone won't do either.

Yeah that one one of my issues. The entire usb_composite is gone, taking adb with it. Only usb related things i can do is charge and transfer files through mtp. Thanks though.
I have used fastboot oem rebootRUU
Ruu.exe runs, go through a while but says it can't be updated and i have the wrong version.
Then the phone goes blank when i unplug it. Totally unresponsive.
Had to wait an hour for the battery to die completly, then 10min to charge long enough to boot back into recovery and flash the only stupid rom it works with. freakin beanstalk 4.4.

Hey all,
I have this HTC EVO 3D that just, refuses to co-operate with me.
Story goes -
Got it on ICS and everything was working fine on it. I looked for updates available and it found a 28MB update that I installed and once the phone rebooted with the update, the camera fails to start and the touch screen just starts going crazy and opening everything, whereas before it fine.
So, I attempted to try and get it back to Gingerbread.
And googled and googled and googled.
Reason why I have opened a new thread is cause it's sort of everything going weird with it.
Of course, trying RUU files and trying to flash RUU in zip failed so on so forth.
I had unlocked the Bootloader and S-ON is on at this point. Also had CWM recovery installed and was able to boot into that.
With this in place, I read up on the wire trick and thought, yeah it seems a bit hard, I'll take it to a phone repair shop, where they had the phone for 2 weeks and told me that it was S-OFF and back to stock.
Since they had it and I got it back, it's now stuck in a boot loop and I can not get into any recovery etc (With the original SD Card in it). Can get to Bootloader and fastboot though.
Spent the last 3 hours with about 20 tabs in Chrome opened on how to exactly go from here and I am stuck.
Got a Linux Laptop here and tried to ControlBear and it comes up with ADB and Fastboot not found (Directory points to it being in tmp..no idea)
TL;DR
HTC Evo 3D (Australian Variant, was running ICS Telstra OEM)

Radio - 11.25.3504.16 M
Boot Loops, No Recovery, Fastboot commands work on windows.
So just wondering, where do I go from here. I don't know if the device is completely bricked now or if it can be saved.
(I tried a number of zip files on the SD Card (PG86IMG.zip) and nothing due to having S-ON.
Hoping someone can provide a procedure or point me in the right direction.
As reference, I used this thread mostly before it was taken to the Repair Shop and got stuffed.
Any help is appreciated.
Thanks so much.

Radio - 11.25.3504.16 M
Boot Loops, No Recovery, Fastboot commands work on windows.
So just wondering, where do I go from here. I don't know if the device is completely bricked now or if it can be saved.
(I tried a number of zip files on the SD Card (PG86IMG.zip) and nothing due to having S-ON.
Hoping someone can provide a procedure or point me in the right direction.
As reference, I used this thread mostly before it was taken to the Repair Shop and got stuffed.
Any help is appreciated.
Thanks so much.

Hello my friend, the reason you can't load the pg86img is because you have unlocked bootloader. The fastboot commands could help us a lot, did you follow the controlbear instructions in the correct order? I think there is a way through windows with exe files I don't remember well because I did S-OFF 3years+ before. If you want we can try together some time. If you want for start we can flash 4ext recovery and a custom rom so your phone can boot.

Hi there, I didn't know with having the bootloader unlocked that it would cause any issues, but there you go!
Yeah, if there's a guide to flashing the 4EXT Recovery and a custom rom that would be great!
I have a fair idea of how to do it, but don't want to try anything without having someone of greater knowledge point me in the right direction
Thanks!
Just an update, I did come across a thread to flash 4EXT Recovery onto my Evo 3D.
Put Recovery.img into my platform-tools folder, used the fastboot command, it said sending and OK.
Selected recovery and still boot loops. No idea where to go from here now

Sorry for being late, I had some problems with my internet connection. Can you boot into recovery? Power button + Vol- and choose recovery, if you can boot tell me first which version you have and second what type of rom you want to have.

Hey there,
That's OK, I don't mind the wait, it's all good!
I can boot into Fastboot, but when I choose recovery/factory reset etc, it shows the HTC Logo and then goes into a bootloop.
As for the ROM, I want to get the original GB ROM for it because when I updated it to the latest ICS that's when the camera and touch started to get weird, whereas beforehand it was fine.
So thinking, if I go back down to GB Stock, that it should be all fine again, but I am not too sure on that one.
Thanks!

Well, we have to downgrade the hboot version first. Did you do the wire trick procedure right? You can download a pg86img and flash it first to fix the bootloops. First lock the bootloader. When you finish this report here. I have to sleep it's late here and I work early. I'll send you tomorrow. See you.

Ok, the technician I took the phone to supposedly did the wire trick for S-OFF, but, it's still S-ON.
I have downloaded a lot of stock PG86IMG files before posting on here and none work, they scan when in bootloader and then nothing after that.
But that would be because I haven't locked the bootloader. So in saying this, I lock the bootloader following steps on many forum posts on here, then flash a .zip file that's correct and then it should all work?
I'll wait for your response, thanks!

I do not think that the wire trick procedure was correct because you are still s on. Lock the bootloader and try to load the zip.

Hey, so I tried a P86IMG.zip from this thread here - http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2274635
I couldn't find another one and with that I get an error "Main Version Fail" or "Main Version Check Fail".
I then tried RUU and RUU in zip format.
RUU comes back with wrong bootloader error. (I couldn't find an RUU that matched my radio version so I went with the nearest one)
RUU Zip comes back through fastboot with "remote 43 main version check fail"
Also I tried to do the Wire Trick and got stuck at the "ADB and Fastboot not found" even though the files are there and the phone is connected.
So still a little bit...stuck :\
Also relocked bootloader it just says relocked now.
If you need any other additional info I can send screenshots of what it's at.
Thanks!

Did you try flashing the zip after the locking? You are doing the wire trick procedure on live linux cd?

Yes, tried flashing the zip after locking. Live CD is being used also. I will try again later. Thanks!

If you want we can do the procedure together some time. Keep in mind that you have to unlock again. We can search for the windows version too.

Oh that would be extremely helpful, I can use Linux, but prefer my Windows PC as it has all the files and it's just easier.
Thanks so much!

So update -
DK sent me the windows version of ControlBear via PM - thank you.
Have an unlocked bootloader.
I tried ControlBear, and because I can not boot into the OS, I start it at Fastboot USB, it reboots, then says "Connecting to Device", then "Testing ADB connection" then "Press Enter To Exit" and that's it, can't do anything else from there, and it gets stuck in the boot loop that it still has.
Tried again to google for methods for HBOOT 1.53, and am trying some of those methods, but it's not looking good at all.
I haven't even got to the stage where it asks me to do any sort of wire trick.
Also my battery in the EVO 3D has died so am using a battery out of a HTC MyTouch 4G with help from electrical tape :\
So now, any suggestions? I am trying to flash another RUU that's stock for my Radio (Well, it's close enough - RUUs are both 11.25.3504.06, mine is 11.25.3504.16)
EDIT: Tried all RUUs with relocked bootloader and comes back with bootloader error (ERROR 140). So, no idea.
Also it's scanning for PG86DIAG.img files on the SD Card - that's not normal is it.
Do you think we should give up on it, it's probably hard bricked and dead now
I think it's literally hard bricked and no way to bring it back from the dead.
As per my original post, all the details for the phone are there. And it sucks that I can't find a correct RUU for my phone (As it was Telstra AU - latest update of ICS)
AHH I don't know.

First of all you should be unlocked now with 1.53 hboot. Download from here the latest 4ext recovery (4EXT_Recovery_Touch_v1.0.0.6_RC3)
It's in my mega account don't worry about malicious software I downloaded it 5 minutes before doing this post. If you don't have unlocked your bootloader do it with the tokens HTC sent you in your email. Flash this recovery from fastboot (fastboot flash recovery "recoveryname".img). After that remove the battery and re-enter fastboot mode (Vol down+power button) and choose recovery. If you manage to boot into recovery from there tell me to send you a link for a rom to flash. I don't believe its a hard brick.

Hey there, thanks for the help again, unfortunately, still didn't work.
I unlocked the bootloader again. Then tried to flash what you said, it said "writing" then "successful". I pulled the battery and tried to boot into recovery and just loops

Try doing:
fastboot erase recovery
fastboot flash recovery "recovery".img
fastboot format system
fastboot format boot
And if it still doesn't let me send you a boot.img in some minutes to try flashing it.
EDIT: And something last, you can still do the controlbear trick while not in OS, its easy if you wanna try let me know.

Hey all,
I have this HTC EVO 3D that just, refuses to co-operate with me.
Story goes -
Got it on ICS and everything was working fine on it. I looked for updates available and it found a 28MB update that I installed and once the phone rebooted with the update, the camera fails to start and the touch screen just starts going crazy and opening everything, whereas before it fine.
So, I attempted to try and get it back to Gingerbread.
And googled and googled and googled.
Reason why I have opened a new thread is cause it's sort of everything going weird with it.
Of course, trying RUU files and trying to flash RUU in zip failed so on so forth.
I had unlocked the Bootloader and S-ON is on at this point. Also had CWM recovery installed and was able to boot into that.
With this in place, I read up on the wire trick and thought, yeah it seems a bit hard, I'll take it to a phone repair shop, where they had the phone for 2 weeks and told me that it was S-OFF and back to stock.
Since they had it and I got it back, it's now stuck in a boot loop and I can not get into any recovery etc (With the original SD Card in it). Can get to Bootloader and fastboot though.
Spent the last 3 hours with about 20 tabs in Chrome opened on how to exactly go from here and I am stuck.
Got a Linux Laptop here and tried to ControlBear and it comes up with ADB and Fastboot not found (Directory points to it being in tmp..no idea)
TL;DR
HTC Evo 3D (Australian Variant, was running ICS Telstra OEM)
Unlocked Bootloader
SHOOTER_U PVT SHIP S-ON RL
HBOOT-1.53.0007
eMMC-boot
Radio - 11.25.3504.16 M
Boot Loops, No Recovery, Fastboot commands work on windows.
