Start with S-OFF. After that, you just run the RUU from HTC (like you would've done to upgrade to 4.3).
after that thats all i do?

Your storage is likely corrupt. You can format it with your PC but this will delete everything from your storage. All you need to do is download the SuperSU zip to your phone and flash it in recovery, then you'll be rooted. You'll also need to install the SuperSU app from the Play store if it's not included in whatever ROM you flash. Once you've done this you can start the S-off process.

If you have any important files on your internal storage copy them to your PC. You can download the SuperSU zip afterwards and use your computer or a file manager to move it to your SD card if you'd like but it won't matter where you put it, it's just personal preference.

Well, i was in the process of rooting my phone and it got deleted like it got totally swipped, so i tried flashing a rom called viper4g and while it was succesfully installing, and it did, it took me to the htc screen and after that it was blank like black screen. so i hard reset and i got into bootloader, i pressed recovery and it doesnt let me go in. my phone is seriously bricked. i can access fast boot commands but i cant access recovery. i tried re flashing it and it still doesnt do any good! can you help with this?

I would suggest running the RUU again. Connect your phone and PC via Fastboot USB mode. Once you've done this, double-click the RUU to start the installer. Since you're S-on you may have to relock your bootloader first.

I tried to flash MIUI onto my phone and now I can no longer boot my phone. I was using CM recovery and now I cant get it to open. When I select recovery it opens for a second and then it tries to boot but gets stuck on the HTC screen. The only thing I can get to work is Fastboot.

Well technically we misuse the term ruu, since it's actually a exe you run on your computer.
What people usually mean by ruu is a zip that has official, stock HTC everything.
Rom, recovery, hboot, radio etc
Rename file to PH98IMG and put in the root of your sd, then flash it in bootloader.

Before you flash, you should know that if the RUU file you are using is not a rooted one, you may loose root by flashing it to your phone.There are rooted RUUs on XDA and I hope you are using one of them.
Now if you have downloaded the RUU file to your computer
1.Rename it as PH98IMG and put it on your SD card.
2. power off your phone (preferably by removing the battery and putting it back).
3. restart your phone by holding down volume down and the power button. Your phone will reboot to bootloader. The bootloader should automatically load the file you rename PH98IMG and ask you if you want to install the update.
4. Press volume up for YES. Bootloader will install the file. Follow the instructions to finish.

You probably want the 3.14.605.12 ruu if you haven't updated to global firmware.

Did you see a a vertical bar working on the top right of your phone? If the PH98IMG loads correctly, there should be a message in red at the bottom asking if you want to start the update.

Well the top line in your bootloader should say something along the line of Unlocked or Tampered if it doesn't then you need to use HTC Unlock tool and unlock your bootloader again. If its locked you can't do anything. Check that out.

It should look something like the attached image.

Hi,
I am new here and this is my first post so forgive me if starting a new thread for this topic was wrong but I found my own situation slightly different from the others here who had the same problem.
I have a gsm unlocked rezound and was trying to get rid of the unknown sim error message at lock screen. I followed the steps mentioned on this thread --> http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1882355. I rooted the phone, downloaded the apk. Deleted the .odex file and replaced the existing apk with the downloaded one and rebooted. Now, I am stuck at the lock screen with no icons. But for the other people who faced similiar issue, they were able to open the home screen. I can't. I can see pop ups for sms/mail. I get ring when a call comes in but I cant pick. I tried hard reset. Tried booting without sim/sd card. Still no luck. I tried connecting the phone to my pc but now my pc wont recognise the phone when its connected. I can see icon on top of the phone which says USB connected and I also see sync icon, but it will not go any further. I dont know how to get into the phone's menu now.
I may have bitten more than I can chew, silly me :crying:
If you guys can help me in any way, I would appreciate that a lot.
OS : 4.0.3 ICS Running HTC Sense 3.6.
A quick fix:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2017932
Flash my debloater, choosing the Sense option(will be brought to a widget removal screen if you don' use them all) & AOSP lockscreen. Disadvantage to that though, you will have to unlock to see the caller id when it rings.

Thank you for the quick response. I have downloaded the file. I know this sounds stupid but I am a real rookie. I don't know how to do the flashing or how to get to the AOSP lock screen. If you could guide me through the process or maybe give me a link where I can learn it myself, it would be great.
Essentially since you already have rooted, you will(should) also have a custom recovery (TWRP, AmonRa, CWM). Install it as you would a regular rom but without any wipes until after flash of the zip. Dependent on which recovery you will want to look up their FAQ/QnA on how to wipe dalvik/cache.
Once you get inside the script, you will see what I meant by "Choose Sense & AOSP Lockscreen".

Yes the phone was rooted, but I used a rooting software from google apps from the phone. After I downloaded that app, it rooted the phone and brought in an extra icon. I remember it as SU root something, but I didnt do it from the pc. So I dont have any recovery on the pc. I used to sync the phone with htc sync. Unfortunately, right now, my pc wont recognise the phone. I tried root explorer for android from pc, it wont recognise the device. HTC sync too will not. But my phone seems to know when a USB is connected, it brings the usb icon on top but thats about it. ((
Ok, best suggestion at this point is to follow the instruction in the OP for installing TWRP in the Rezound development section.

Thank you for the help buddy. I am glad you said its not. I dont know what I would have done if it had. This is my first android phone and I took it a week back. I was beginning to miss my iPhone . Unfortunately the link you provided wont help me because I have no way of restarting phone other than by removing battery. Even when in fastboot, the pc does not recognise the device even when device shows fastboot usb. I doubt if I can get past step 1 in that link.
I found that I am on Vigor H Boot 2.27.000 and Radio 2.22.10.0803r with S-ON. I tried to turn S-Off after reading and educating myself on android from this forum till now. But even to S-Off, I need to be able to enable USB in debug mode which I am not able to. Any suggestions ?
Device still not fixed
hi,
I took the phone to a couple of places to check if it can be fixed, No one was able to fix it thus far, Any other advice or suggestions to fix this would be great. Any admins/mods have something to add ? Please, I am desperate to fix this phone. Anyway of doing this ?
Have you tried flashing a different rom?
If he's S-on and locked, he can simply flash the latest RUU can't he(just to get the phone working again). From there someone can help him set up adb, and s-off.

From what they posted, somehow they don't have a custom recovery even though they are rooted?
Can you put a PH98IMG.zip file of a recovery (either Amon Ra or TWRP) on your SD card and flash it in hboot? Then flash a custom ROM the same way from recovery.
You can take the SD card out and mount it on your pc and use your pc to copy over the recovery PH98IMG.zip file.
And oh yeah, I see what Obaterista... was saying. You should be able to flash the latest RUU from hboot. Here's a link for it:

Yes I rooted from a tool I found on android market. Noob me. So I do not have a recovery. I had downloaded the PH98IMG.zip and put it in my sd card and tried. The recovery starts and then shows a red exclamation and then nothing happens.
I was just trying different pages for help. Someone has mentioned that I should add the PH98IMG.zip as just PH98IMG and I shud not add the .zip. Thats the only thing left to try. I will post what happens when I do that.

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:

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?

I dunno, is there a way to do it from the bootloader? Cause I can't get to a place where I can push adp commands and I can't get to recovery...i've hosed this thing haven't I? I've got insurance, do I need to drop this thing in the sink and get another? And maybe not try rooting the next one...

No need for all that just calm down. I'm confused are you stuck n bootloader or can you boot up into your ROM?

Would you mind posting a link to your unlock method? The method I used the first time was using usb debugging and adp commands from windows. Can I unlock somehow from within the bootloader? Thank you very much for your help. Lol, my phone is ringing at this moment but i've got know way to answer it

Yes, I relocked from the bootloader, as I guess i misunderstood that I needed to do that before flashing the ruu...I was actually on one of the custom roms when I locked it

Hello,
I was recently given a bootlooping Evo 4G Lte. I have been trying to figure out how to get this thing out of a bootloop and havent been able to do it. I, unfortunately, have no history on what happened to this device. Currently, it bootloops on the "Mean Bean" loading screen but will go no further. I can get into the bootloader, which says it is Unlocked, S-On, but I am unable to boot it into a recovery, it just returns back to bootloader. I have tried fastbooting twrp, but it fails (remote: image update error), and I have tried fastbooting the Mean Bean kernel thinking maybe thats all it needs, but that failed as well. Anybody have an insight? Much appreciated! Thanks.
Mike
I would run the 3.17 RUU. Hit the top link in my sig and look at the last post in the thread. You can run it from the bootloader. You'll need to re-root afterwards but it should get your phone back in working condition.

Thanks for the quick reply. I downloaded the RUU and ran it. However it sits and says "Waiting for bootloader" then errors out with "USB connection issue". The usb is working. The reason I never ran the RUU in teh first place was because i thought i read that you cant RUU with and unlocked bootloader. Is that not true? or is that my problem?
Mike
Not 100% sure but I will check with someone who used this tool recently and see if they were still unlocked at the time. Were you connected via Fastboot USB? Sounds more like a driver issue.

Yeah I was connected and it said fastboot USB. It said rebooting to bootloader and rebooted, still said fastboot USB. Then it sat at a screen that said "waiting for bootloader" and after a while error ed out.
You can try relocking. You just need to run the command "fastboot oem relock" from a command line while connected via fastboot USB mode.

you can use the stock RUU and you can leave the bootloader unlocked as it will not affect anything.. it will fix your looping problem (Amongst others) as in gps not working ect.. once your done you will need to fastboot over your TWRP and from there mod as normal Good Luck! and ill be watching if you need any help!

Problem is the ruu keeps error in out. I am beginning to think it may still be a driver problem. Someday I will get this done!

When in doubt update your android SDK remove the htc drivers reboot install drivers reboot and you should be good to go! Check the integrity of your USB cable and if possible use a rear USB port (More Power) Painful process yes but well worth it.. HTC drivers act strange till you reboot OOOh and make sure your using the proper HTC drivers for windows 32 bit or 64 bit!

The drivers seem to be ok, but I am still not able to get any further. The RUU finds my phone, then reboots again to bootloader, but it just sits there saying "Waiting for bootloader" until it errors out due to "USB Connection error". I have tried a few different cables, and different USB ports. Not sure what the problem is but it just wont go any further. I re-unlocked my bootloader with htcdev. I have tried fastbooting a recovery to the phone but it errors out. I just cant get anything to work so I can boot anything. I really just want to get something working...anything! Any other ideas? Thanks.

use an sd card put a recovery image on the root of the sd boot into bootloader apply the recovery you should then have a recovery if you did it right, go into twrp mount device add a rom flash in recovery viola.

Sinister,
Thanks for the reply. I put TWRP on the sdcard (named PJ75IMG, right?) and tried to apply that when I rebooted to recovery last night and it failed. It tries to load it but gives a few errors quick (No Image) Did I do it wrong?

make sure the file is just the PJ75IMG no additional text and it should be .zip If I recall correctly. make sure its on the root of the sdcard not internal but sd or external and it should be at the top level e.g. sdcard/ make sure its not in any other folders after you do that hold power and vol down get to hboot screen itll scan and then just follow the instructions.

Thats exactly what I did. It is the only thing on the sdcard. It says no gift file, Loading, no image for 4 different things. Then returns to the bootloader.

Well, which recovery file should I be using? When I use the main TWRP ones (ie openrecovery-twrp-2.6.0.0-jewel.img) it gives me the errors like I said above. I now see they have a few labeled like this PJ75IMG-twrp-2.3.1.0-jewel.zip. When I use these, it tries to continue but says "Main Version Is Older. FAILED"
someone please help
im not sure what part did the damage. but i was trying to flash a new rom. it screwed up. didnt work. kept trying a few things. but long story short i accidently formated my external containing my back up, and nothing else worked on my phone.
end result, phones not recognized by Adb but can be seen on fastboot it has no OS and somehow its now S-ON and im stuck with out a phone.
i just redownloaded all my sprint drivers, sdk including, also have a fresh version of htc sync manager.
im lost. dont know what to do. this is my last resort till smash it and claim insurance

Well...since you are Sprint you probably unlocked via HTC dev. You can flash your unlock token again which will allow you to flash a custom recovery. You can then flash the current rooted Rom and use sunshine to s off again. The hard option is flashing an older Rom to use firewater as doing so will make your phone reboot about every thirty seconds because of the firmware mismatch. I can help you get it done that way if you want...up to you. Six of one half dozen of the other. You can almost always fix a phone that still boots to hboot and is unlockable. You won't have adb in the current mode either btw....

You are on the current firmware... So you would need a current ruu to do that. Does your phone show unlocked now?

yeah im fairly sure it says unlocked and tampered at the top of hboot, and it also says s-on some how. i tried fastboot command oem unluck and that didnt change it, i feel like this s-on nonsense is my main problem.
