Can someone please help me. I can get into fastboot usb but I can not flash anything on this phone (stuck in boot loop). It is a stock non rooted Sprint EVO3d on 2.95.651.6 with hboot 1.58. It's locked and sON all stock. Apparently there is no Sprint RUU for the 2.95 and I was wonder if there is anything else I can do. I have looked everywhere and am lost. I am trying to fix this phone as the wifes HTC ONE m7 bricked yesterday while my kids were playing games and it won't turn on (tried everything the most I can do was get it into the bootloader but selecting any option would just make the phone freeze sprint confirmed it is bricked and now we lost some family photos, I am not too happy about. although her fault for not backing them up) That phone I have to call HTC on in the morning for a replacement since I do not want a refurb from Sprint that will take 5 days anyways. Anyways does anyone know what I can do with this Evo3d that won't boot.
Thanks in advance,
Dan
P.S. rooted many phones just been a while (Wanted to stay stock because it was just going to be a kids toy now we need it)

How would I be able to flash from the sdcard without having a recovery installed on the phone? If I even try to go into recovery it just loop boots, also a factory reset was of no help.
Thanks!

Well, with the 2.95 OTA, they included the HBOOT in the firmware, so it's now much faster of a load time for PG86IMG when doing the brick.
I pulled the new PG86IMG.zip from the OTA update, and it's only 19MB, which takes only 15-20 seconds to fully load and be ready to press volume up to update... this will significantly cut down on the time it takes to downgrade, as you can re-try over and over very quickly now.
Here's the PG86IMG file -> http://d-h.st/3p8

The pg86img.zip is read by hboot from sdcard root and flashed, or you can fastboot it from computer.
from directory with pg86img.zip, command or terminal
Code:
fastboot oem rebootRUU
fastboot flash zip pg86img.zip
will send zip to phone and flash, then will return to prompt. phone will not reboot by its self, need to enter
Code:
fastboot reboot
this is not a full rom but the update from 2.89 to 2.95. May need to look for way to fastboot and wipe data or maybe a factory reset might help.

also can the HTC one go into fastboot? if so you can pull the files from it. I use linux for most playing with Android devices, is just easier

Hello community,
today I've made a terrible mistake. In the past I was using a HTC Desire, I got a lot of experience in flashing and ''playing'' on it.
A few weeks ago I've bought the HTC EVO3D and unlocked it with the HTC unlock method today. Up to this point it all worked very well, so in the next step I've decided to get a shiny new custom rom work on it...
I've choosen this one: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1647674
The problem was that I have not installed the 4EXT Recovery system in the right way I think, but at this moment I didn't recognize that...
In the process of flashing the rom, I have flashed the kernel manually as the developer says in post #3 on his thread, before flashing the rom itself...this was very stupid...
I flashed this boot.img with the ''fastboot-method'' (cmd) to my phone, it succesfully worked.
The problem is that now nothing happens on the phone after the first HTC-logo shows up, only a black screen. Going to a nandroid-backup isn't possible because of the ''missing'' recovery system (only black screen appears instead of recovery). When I hit the factory reset option in the bootloader it starts the process but after a while (green loading symbol) it only shows a picture with a phone and a red warning symbol.
Is there anything that can be done to get the phone in a working mode, like flashing another kernel or something over ''fastboot-method''? Or is it totally bricked?
(Sorry for bad language/tenses, I'm from Germany)
FIRST LINK. lol on the other section. lol
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1563342
YOU SHOULD have waited until we found the correct way to root instead of using the HTC method. lol. but either way. FOLLOW THE INSTRUCTIONS! DONT' FORGET YOU HAVE TO UNDO THE HTC METHOD BEFORE DOING THE ENTIRE PROCESS! or did they fix that? haha I forget.

wait a second!!!!!! SORRY just re-read some of your post! you used the HTC method TODAY!?!?!!?!?!!? lmao! like I said, follow the CORRECT instructions. the HTC method is a joke.

Go on fastboot mode. Type in fastboot boot recovery.img ( or whatever the name of your recovery image is)
*learned this the hard way*
---------- Post added at 11:49 PM ---------- Previous post was at 11:39 PM ----------
And also do you have S-ON or S-OFF ....... HBOOT 1.5 or 1.4??
Oh just a tip, never do a factory reset within the bootloader after you have rooted. Also download twrp and flash the .img through fastboot. Then flash a gingerbread Rom with probably a stock kernel. (Again the kernel through fastboot)

3(d)vo one s
Newts my hero.
kiewee3 is correct and also you need to be rooted before you install 4ext recovery
but don't forget that the developer never said to do it on a phone without first making sure S=off with the HTC method. it is left on. right?? or did I word that wrong? but you get what I mean. so you need to fully root your phone to prevent issues. make it easier on yourself.
Why don't you just flash the stock ROM? Copy PG86IMG.zip on the SD card via card reader, enter bootloader, let it flash and you are fine... It overwrites everything.
Then just fastboot connect the phone, type "fastboot oem writesecureflag 3" and you are back on the beginning.
Hi there i have a problem
I have flashed cm mod 10 on my evo after super wipe
and my phone got bricked it won,t boot to hboot tested on new battrey charged and nothing
So my phone is S-off
And it seems that my evo won,t get into the emmc mod to be repaird so any chance of getting it repaired while having s-off on your phone
Did you try removing the battery for about a minute then doing the volume down power thing to get into hboot?

I Have tried it all
The hboot is bricked maybe
And my phone shows qsubs_dlload on the device manager
My phone is hard Bricekd some how
Fastboot won,t detect it and so do adb
i will hope that htc could fix it
I can,t get into the emmc recovery state because iam S-off too bad for me
Are you Cdma or Gsm? It could be that you might have flashed the wrong type of rom for your device. Well, in anycase you could check the unbrick method posted in the cdma or gsm development thread. Good luck to you.
---------- Post added at 01:25 PM ---------- Previous post was at 01:22 PM ----------
I apologize I did not read the part about fastboot and adb wont recognize your device. Did you try to install the composite adb drivers for your device? If that doesn't work then you will definetely need to send it in for repair. It sounds to me whatever you did will need a repair tech to step in.
Thanks for replaying
Any way Iam planning to send it to repair today
And Iam GSM
I have downloaded the zip files
The name started with shooter_U Wich mean GSM
I have figured out that you can't enter emmc_recover if you are s-off
So next time if my phone got repared
I will try to keep it s-on
Only root and 4ext
And I will stay on stock ron unless a super amazing in believeable Tom comes up

I am at a really screwed up point, and I am hoping that someone can offer me some assistance.
I have a Virgin Mobile Evo3D that is unlocked and s-off. I have TWRP, although I can't get to it at the moment. I attempted to install CM 10.1 from this link. I screwed up reading the requirements and interpreted the statement of "Any HBOOT lower than 1.57" as "Don't us any HBOOT lower than 1.57" since it followed another "Don't" just above it. In any case, I wiped everything and got this error during flash:
assert failed: getprop("ro.bootloader") == 1.04.2000"
Click to expand...
Click to collapse
I followed that error to this thread which made it perfectly clear that I had to use a lower HBOOT. Keep in mind that at this point I do not have any active ROM.
I then went to this thread and downloaded hBoot 1.04.2000. I renamed the file to PG86IMG.zip, and put it in the root of my SD card. Booting into recovery and then fastboot, it attempted to install that PG86IMG.zip, but it bombed out with the error
CID incorrect! Update Fail! Press <POWER> to reboot.
Click to expand...
Click to collapse
There is no option to go into TWRP from there, the only option is to reboot, which leads me to an endless HTC splash screen. I can pull the battery and get back into recovery and repeat that failure, or I can go to the splash screen, but that seems to be all I can do. I plugged it into my PC and attempted to run >adb devices, but nothing shows up. My hope was that I could simply delete that zip file and be able to at least get back into TWRP. Essentially I am just lost and have run out of ideas. If anyone could bail me out, I would be so very appreciative.
Sometimes the easiest fixes are the least obvious. At the suggestion of a friend, I pulled the micro SD card from the phone, stuck it into and adapter into my laptop and manually deleted the PG86IMG.zip file. I can now boot back into TWRP. As for what's next? I have no idea, but at least the immediate crisis is resolved.
So go to boot loader and report back what hboot is currently on your phone.
Also 4ext is highly recommended.
If you have hboot 1.50 or 1.04 you should be able to flash a jb ROM...usually

First off thanks for looking & any help is appreciated. Second I searched & got Search feature is temporarily unavailable. So I did search the first 5 pages by Ctrl + F.
Nothing was quite what I have going on. Mea culpa this was all my fault. I read read read & couldn't sort it out & I went ahead anyways. Now things are starting to make sense to me. But I bricked it already. I think it is soft bricked but I was so stupid & hasty I might have hard bricked.
I went here XDA, AF, Google & willy nilly everywhere. The only thing I did right was unlocking the bootloader at HTCdev. This is so stupid & flailing away, I can't recount all the things I did.
I have hboot 1.58.0000, S-ON, ICS 4.03, no root, no nandroid & no .img on sdcard. As far as I can relate what I did, I was just flailing away. I flashed recovery-clockwork-5.0.2.0-shooter.img without rooting first. I don't think I was successful next at installing or maybe flashing RootingSuperuser.v.3.0.7.zip. I just threw files & flashes at my poor defenseless Evo 3D without understanding. Involved also were files such as fastboot.exe, a lot of CMD prompts entering commands after commands.
So I'm at the HTC white for a minute or so. Then it turns off & then after approx 30 seconds it turns back on & repeats over & over. I can get into FASTBOOT. But going into the next option BOOTLOADER throws it into bootlooping.
So my Evo 3D was innocent & through my ignorance I killed it! Please can it be saved? Will you help this soul who was frustrated, confused & foolishly proceeded?
Thank you XDA.
I tried a RUU at the kind suggestion of a mod over at AF. Here's the error I received.
ERROR [155]: UNKNOWN ERROR
The ROM Update Utility cannot update your Android phone.
Please get the correct ROM Update Utility and try again.
I believe I have version 2.95.651.5. And this RUU is version 2.89.651.2. Could this be a problem?
There is no ruu for hboot 1.58
Sounds like you still need to flash a recovery. Then you can flash a sense based rom.

Heard TWRP Recovery is the best for Evo 3D. But is that even possible as I'm NOT rooted & in a loop?
If so how? Thanks.

I think trying to flash CWM recovery. But I was confused. Should have stepped away from the computer/phone/etc & tackled another day.
It's not bricked. You just don't have a bootable rom if you get to the bios (HTC splash screen) all you need is to get a recovery and flash something. Had you bricked it you wouldn't be able to turn the thing on.

Well I'm sorted. Thanks XDA.
I got a lottttttttttt of help over at AF.
If interested it's under the same title as here:
"Bricked my Evo 3D CDMA Sprint. Need help."
I'm hoping the wisdom of the XDA crowd can show me the way. My EVO 4G LTE was unrooted, fully stock when I ran the new RUU from Sprint. It got stuck and never completed. It sat overnight, with the sliver HTC logo against a black background. The program stopped responding on my laptop. So, I disconnected. I am able to get into HBOOT screen. I can reach the phone through ADB when connected in Fastboot. I have also been able to load TWRP and CWM, but image files won't take. I cannot get the phone to load past the white screen with the green HTC letters.
I figure that I have no more OS. But, I cannot do anything else because while I have unlocked the bootloader, I still have S-ON. I have HBOOT 2.10 as well.
I cannot mount the storage from the laptop, but I do have an external SD card I can swap in and out.
I know there are ways I can get to a new ROM with HBOOT 2.10, but it seems they all require S-OFF. I can't figure out how to get S-OFF.
At this point I would just like a working phone. Where do I go from here?

To gain s-OFF you'd need to be on 3.16 firmware if you don't want the hassle then redo the RUU a different way which is that link V

Thanks for the link. That kind of worked. The first rom_1.zip that I renamed didn't work...Gave me an error that said "Wrong zipped file!" I tried it with the other file, just to see, and that seemed to work. It was able to parse it and flash it. However, when I rebooted, I am still stuck on the white HTC screen.
Is there any way to downgrade the firmware to 3.16 from fastboot or recovery? I can still access CWM.
Not unless you're S-off, no.

Have you tried running the RUU again from the bootloader, or have you tried flashing a ROM?

Connect via Fastboot USB mode and start the RUU just like you did when you ran it previously.

Yes - I've done that. Putting it into Fastboot USB was the only way my laptop could recognize the phone. I could try to flash a rom, but I wasn't sure which one would work with the HBOOT/firmware version I have.

If your Hboot and firmware match the new layout you can try and flash one of the new Android 4.3 Sense 5 ROM's.
I'll keep looking for one that doesn't require S-OFF. All the ones I've found so far require it.

No luck on that front, but Captain_Throwback came to the rescue and gave me the solution after a plea from help over at the Android Central forums. I had to relock my bootloader, then load on the RUU as a PJ75IMG.img in the root of the SD card.
