Okay, so I'm in a bit of a bind. I'm S-OFF, and I tried updating to the global leak and it seems I've lost boot and recovery. Everytime I boot it goes through the splash screen and then a black screen with the phone and green update symbol, then it turns to a red triangle and exclamation mark. any help would be greatly appreciated. I'm fairly experienced and everything i've tried has failed. I tried going into hboot and flashing the PH98IMG again. It took, but still the same result. I tried flashing the recovery in fastboot but it continues to fail, and I also tried flashing my boot.img but it also failed. Any ideas?

unlock the bootloader and flash a recovery. you need to unlock since you dont have eng commands.
btw this belongs in q&a

Its OK. And once you unlock, it'll reboot. Then you just go back into the boot loader and flash a recovery with fast boot.

You need to use interface to fastboot boot.img then run firmware update for old firmware n old CWR. BASICALLY GO BACK TO STOCK REZOUND N START THE WHOLE PROCESS OVER LIKE DAY 1!
Good news is you don't need to do the wire trick again. Your phone crashed during the firmware upgrade now its stuck in limbo n doesn't know how to handle the 2 sets of hardware commands its receiving from the CMOS.
[Q] Can only get into recovery after attempting Juopunutbear S-OFF
I wanted to S-OFF after being stock locked, with the OTA ICS update. I performed HTC dev unlock successfully. After that, I may have gone wrong during one of several steps.
-Pushed AmonRa recovery 3.15 to my phone (seemed to be successful)
-Flashed ICE-EnableRoot.img (got an error message saying it was unsuccessful, but when I rebooted my phone, SuperUser was installed).
-Flashed vigorOTAStockRooted.zip (because I wanted to try the S-OFF method from stock GB rom)
-Ran HTC Rezound S-OFF Kit By Hasoon2000
-Made sure HTC Drivers were installed
-Enabled USB Debugging
-Put in blank SD Card
-Run Juopunutbear v.6 If You Are On Gingerbread
After running Juopunutbear v.6 for Gingerbread, my phone screen went blank and HTC's splash screen came up momentarily, and then my phone screen went dark. The cmd box that popped up then gave me an error message saying I had to install the HTC Drivers. I went to HTC's website to download the drivers. When I tried to install them, I was told they were already installed.
I can reboot my phone into Hboot and AmonRa recovery and I can do anything from there. But when I try to start my phone, I get the HTC splash screen and then black screen. The orange LED lights up when my phone is powered off and plugged in via USB. When I try to boot from Hboot, I either get a static HTC splash screen or splash screen going to a black screen.
This is what my Hboot screen reads:
*** TAMPERED ***
*** UNLOCKED ***

For starters, you are on ics firmware so you should run the ics version of juopunutbear. I suggest flashing a rooted Rom based on the ota and then try again.

I successfully flashed one of the stock ICS ROMs! What got me all confused to begin with was the prerequisite that I had to be on a stock Gingerbread ROM or the 3.14.605.5 ICS leak. That's why I tried flashing the original Vigor GB ROM on my phone. I still want to get S-OFF, but I need to read the instructions more carefully. Thanks for your help!

So I just need to flash my backed up boot.img, and then flash the 3.14.605.12 RUU? Then re-root and retry the OTA Global Update?

pretty much. From looking at everything looks like you are on ICS, but its not letting you reprogram. usually happens when an update fails. When you run Juonobear and run the ics upgrade over again, it should reboot like 3 or 4 times. Sounds like you never let the process finish. Final note, i'm not sure where you got your firmware from, but your radios do not look familiar. Not saying they are wrong, just not radio's i've ever seen flashed. BUT, I don't usually change radio's unless there is a huge need for it. you should be on radio's 10r/08r that come with the original ICS firmware update. I'll watch the thread throughout the day to lend support where I can. Hope this helps.

Now I'm a little confused, sorry. I need to run the juopunutbear program again? My radios are 2.22.10.0801r/2.22.10.0803r, Hboot 2.27. I'm downloading the .12 RUU from Android Police. I've tried re-flashing the boot.img from my nand backup, but it keeps saying:
C:\mini-adb_vigor>fastboot flash boot.img
unknown partition 'boot.img'
error: cannot determine image filename for 'boot.img'
edit: I fixed the flash, I forgot to add the partition in the command, duh... So I flashed my backed up boot.img, now I just need to flash the .12 RUU?
I have the backup img in the file where I have fastboot, adb, etc.. What am I doing wrong?

I have now tried to flash the .12 RUU in Hboot but it will not flash it, probably because my firmware is newer right? Back to the drawing board....
Still to no avail I am getting nowhere. I flashed the stock recovery and did a factory reset from Hboot. Nothing, I have tried flashing the newest RUU, nothing, I'm flashed back to ra-recovery. Can anybody give me a solution step by step to get a ROM loaded and booting?
Well I finally got it up and working. I loaded the old firmware and was able to restore by backup. Thanks to all who chimed in with helpful advice. I'm hesitant to retry the Global update, but I might go ahead and give it another shot.
Glad you figured to restore the firmware. It's not hard to flash the global. Run the firmware, then run the recovery then flash Rom. Do it right in that order n you don't have any issues. Use 2 sdcards if you need to because the firmware upgrade won't delete the ph98 off your card. You will need to do it manually.

Gave my Evo 3d to my borother a few months back, but hes come back to me today saying it was stuck in bootloop.
He booted into the bootloader and did a factory reset, but it was still stuck in bootloop.
I tried to get into recovery to flash a new rom, but when i select recovery from the bootloader, that also goes into a bootloop.
Used adb to push the recovery onto the phone again but still just keeps bootlooping.
Not sure if its important but the phone is s-off. Any ideas on whats going on or how to fix?
Apologies, supposed to put this in Q&A forum

You didn't say what version of the Evo 3D you have (CDMA or GSM) or what bootloader is installed, but if it's a Sprint CDMA model I would recommend flashing the Sprint ICS RUU.exe from Windows after putting the phone into fastboot mode in the bootloader. You may have to relock the bootloader with the "fastboot oem lock" command first if it shows "***UNLOCKED***" at the top of the screen.
That will fix a lot of problems, especially when the phone is in an indeterminate state. After flashing the RUU you can HTC unlock, flash a custom recovery and then root the stock ROM or flash a rooted ROM.

Sorry it is a UK GSM (Europe). I have revolutionary bootloader installed. Got an RUU to try now thanks.

^^^^ He got it first with the short version.
No, you won't lose S-OFF and won't need to relock the bootloader first if that's your current status.
And if it's a GSM model everything still applies, you just need a different RUU, which you already have.

Thanks ramjet. Thought this was going to be straightforward but cant get ruu to install. Error 170. Ill keep plugging away / googling away, hopefully come up with something

Error 170 means that the RUU utility can't find the phone. There's a readme.doc for running the RUU here, and the error codes are towards the end of that.
Are you putting it into "fastboot" mode in the bootloader, which should change to "fastboot usb" when it is connected to a computer? You also need to have the HTC USB drivers active, which can be accomplished by installing HTC Sync.

adb push into a bootlooping phone?
do you have the drivers for the phone? (if not download and install HTC Sync as they come with it)
did you try flashing a custom recovery img through fastboot? (go to bootloader select fastboot, connect USB, type "fastboot flash recovery nameOfYourRecoveryImg.img")
Yeah have tried installing custom recovery through fast boot again, and im in fastboot ok when trying to run the RUU. Also have HTC Sync installed from when i had the phone.. Drivers seemed to be ok as i was able to install the custom recovery with adb, alhough i still got bootloop after that.
Ive a few other things to try when i get home from work. Im sure it shouldnt be too difficult to resolve. Hopefully anyway.
Well this isnt going smoothly at all. Used another PC and was able to get the RUU to run.
However it now comes up with Error 131 Customer ID problem. The RUU was for HTC Europe (non branded). The phone was sim free. When i posted months back my cid was HTC_001. I checked it here: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=22394863&postcount=172
However now when i get my CID it is showing as CID0202. Any way i can get an RUU to install? Any idea how a CID could change?
EDIT: noticed i used a different command last time.
fastboot getvar cid shows CID0202
adb shell getprop ro.cid now shows device not found (previously showed CID_001)
Thats typing both commands in same window, one after the other. One gets CID0202, the other device not found???
There's a change cid command in fastboot, fastboot oem writecid or something along those lines... however i believe the cid check is in the updater scripts of the ruu in which case a fastboot flash of all the img files should avoid it entirely... i don't remember the procedure for extracting the img files from the ruu but i believe ur supposed to run it and then dig through your temp files...

Thanks for this. Ill see if i can find anything else out about it. So saves running the RUU exe and no cid check done then?
Need to bump this as im not getting anywhere. No RUU's will install, error 31 customer error. Have flashed recovery via ADB and through PG86IMG.ZIP, but still cant get in to recovery as it just continually reboots.
S-OFF with revolutionary. Anybody any ideas please?
Got bigger problems than i thought. Finally got an RUU to install after 4 days of trying, by first using fastboot oem writecid 11111111. But when the phone rebooted it was back bootlooping again. Is there any hope for my phone?

You need to stop cross posting in the d3rp Q&A thread and your own thread if you want more help. Cross-posting is stongly discouraged on XDA and it's really confusing when you are asking for help in one thread while getting different advice in another.
It sounds to me like all the CID changes on your phone have left it in an indeterminate state and I'm not sure at this point what is the correct CID and RUU for your model. If you could detemine that, set the CID correctly and flash the right RUU the phone should work, but it might be too late if you have in fact been flashing firmware that doesn't match your phone because the right RUU may not back that out properly.
That's all I can offer at this point, but since I don't know the history of your phone and how it got the various CID's you have reported, you will probably be the one that needs to figure it out.

Okay I have made a thread about this before, but no one had an answer for me, so I will try again, but I will be more descriptive of my issue.
So the other day, my Evo 3D, which is flashed to MetroPCS, lost its carrier settings when I was flashing a ROM. So I had to go home and use QPST to edit some files in the nvm/num folder (Using EFS). While I was editing, the program crashed, and I was forced to unplug my Evo.
Now, after it rebooted, it would go past the HTC Screen, and flash the boot animation for a split second, then shut off and restart. It would loop like this no matter how long I left it.
So I went into 4-EXT recovery, and formatted system, boot, data etc, and then flashed a ROM. Rebooted and got the same thing. So in a last ditch effort, I downloaded the latest ICS RUU for this phone, and tried all three methods to install. I ran the .exe, the program ran as expected, and the phone showed the progress bar on a black HTC Screen as updating, it rebooted when done, and then just continued to bootloop. I also pulling the rom.zip and renaming it to PG86IMG.zip and flashing it from fastboot. It worked and once it rebooted, did the same thing. I also ran it from fastboot usb, and got the same result.
However, I extracted the rom.zip and tried to use fastboot to flash individual .img files, and on EVERY one, I got "FAILED - Error: (remote: not allowed).
I had previously used the wiretrick to get S-OFF on my Hboot 1.58.
It says "Unlocked" at the top of the bootloader.
I really need to get my phone working, can someone PLEASE point me in the correct direction or at least help me out? Is my phone ruined? Is there a way I can clear the NV memory or something to truly reset the phone?
Once again, I will repeat, RUUs will not work!, I am S-OFF on HBOOT 1.58, my bootloader says "unlocked." No matter what I do it will bootloop. I can flash a recovery, but if I flash a rom it does the same stuff.
When you ran the ruu.exe, did you lock the bootloader first? If you don't, the ruu won't work.

I don't remember, but wouldn't the RUU fail if it was unlocked? Because it didn't fail, it just didnt work.
So now I screwed up, I got it to be able to erase/write in fastboot, I used fastboot erase instead of fastboot format and now my partitions are gone, how do I get those back?

Sounds like a similar thing that happened to me when trying to flash a JB rom with a kernal that was not compatable....no matter what I did I could not get it out of the boot loop...I am Hboot 1.58 HTC unlocked and wire trick S-off...I finally flashed an old backup I had with a stock kernal and it fixed it all...dont know if this helps you at all but try wiping everything possible and flashing a stock kernal or an old backup you may have...

Why are you using fastboot commands like "erase" and "format". Partitions should be formatted in recovery, not the bootloader.
If the RUU ran successfully it should reboot into the stock ROM when it finished. Did that work?

It's okay. I am not buying another Evo 3D though. I am a MetroPCS customer so I buy flashed phones a lot, and I have a low budget so I'll either grab a flash Galaxy S2, or possibly grab the MetroPCS Galaxy S3 when I get some money.
Before I start off, let me just say that I've searched around for a few days now and have not been able to find a fix for this.
I'm on a TMO HTC one with s-on. My phone was rooted and unlocked. To take the update for 4.3 I relocked my phone (it says relocked on the bootloader screen). I have tried running both RUUs for 1.27.531.11 and 3.24.531.3. I have tried running them from fastboot on the hboot screen and from just having the phone on. I have checked within fastboot (fastboot devices) and my computer does see my phone attached. I run the RUU and both versions get stuck on "sending." I have let them run for hours and still nothing. I have also redownloaded the files thinking maybe something was corrupt.
I'm at a loss here. I have no idea what to do at this point and any help would be appreciated.
I also just found out I cannot do a factory reset or enter recovert from hboot if this helps with anything.

I'm no pro, but do you have stock recovery installed? I think if you're s-on you have to be locked/relocked with stock recovery. That's my only suggestion, good luck.

When I was originally playing around with it I did not. I played around some more today and I have a stock recovery flashed now for my device. I was getting the red triangle when I try to enter recovery, or take the 4.3 update. The thing that finally worked was running the new RUU in fastboot.
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.
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.

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.
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.

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.
