Hi Guys,
So only one hour after getting my phone, I decided to try and flash a new rom... Coming from a HD2 that was so easy, maybe I didn't read 'all' the information that I should.
Anyway, I flashed with HTC original unlock code, and that seemed to work... Over the past 12 hours or so, I've tried to flash several roms, but with no luck... I've then tried to do various recoveries, but no luck.... (I don't have all the details of what I've done, so that isn't probably going to help!).
I've been reading the forum and trying various things for days now, but no luck... what I am stuck with is the following.
When pressing the power and down button, or boot up, I get:
*** UNLOCKED ***

HBOOT-1.49.0008
RADIO-10.13.9020.08_2M
eMMC-boot
Jul 15 2001, 14:39:25
If I just reboot normally, then it just shows white background, with green HTC in the middle, then pauses for about a minute, then just reboots again (Yep, I have left it on for hours, same result).
So, I am able to talk to the device via fastboot, but not adb...
I have downloaded the HTCDriver3.0.0.007.exe and unloaded HTC software, but still no luck with adb..
Obviously looking at the boot screen, it still S-ON, so that probably isn't helping...
I'm happy to pass on any more information or try any suggestions that the experts may have At the mo, back using my HD2, but would love to use this new phone (the back's been off so many times that it's already starting to look old!)
So, what's next guys? Does this classify this as a brick ! ???
bro you need to visit this site.... revolutionary.io
Follow the instructions to the t on their. You are on h boot 1.4... DO NOT update anything. Just root and flash a 2.3.4 rom in the dev section

When the device boots and hangs on the HTC screen and then reboots, this generally indicates there is an issue with the kernel. Either the kernel itself is experiencing trouble or the ramdisk portion of the kernel is experiencing trouble. Usually the kernel portion.
The best solution will be to reload a known working kernel. The best method to do this, w/o being able to boot into Android will be to go through the custom recovery.
If you're currently using the HTC unlock method, it only unlocks the kernel partition for writing in three boot modes: bootloader, normal android and fastboot. Since normal android mode is out of the question at this point, bootloader is usually best used for flashing the full system back to stock, that leaves fastboot mode.
There are two ways to flash the kernel through the fastboot:
1) fastboot boot c:\cwm-recovery.img . this will boot temporarily boot the custom recovery image and grant it write access to the kernel partition. while in the temporarily booted custom recovery, flash any ROM or custom kernel .zip file and it will have write access to properly complete.
2) fastboot flash boot c:\boot.img . this will boot just the kernel image and will not load the kernel modules which include WiFi and WiMAX. this will allow the phone to boot the kernel. once the phone is booted on the new kernel you'll need to copy over the modules from the new kernel manually in order for wifi and wimax to work.
for future reference, if you want to avoid these work around methods which can be confusing to some, my application, Flash Image GUI, will allow you to properly flash a kernel from normal android mode.
it should be considered best practice to be familiar with how to properly boot the custom recovery in order to do backups and restores of the full system.
Also, if you are able to use the revolutionary (http://revolutionary.io) method to s-off the device, this will grant the standard custom recovery access to write the boot partition/kernel and help avoid a lot of this hassle. if you're not able to use the revolutionary method then you're next best method is using the HTC unlock method and follow the steps/guidelines i posted above.
hope that helps!
Many thanks Guys... I have tied the revolutionary recovery a few times, but it the program just sits on my screen trying to connect to the phone - unsuccessfully.

Waiting for device...
I'll give the other go a shot..
I really appreciate all your help on this one..
I think my eagerness to get a better ROM on overtook my safety net in reading ALL the instructions!....
ok, further info...
Just to answer previous question, I am with Telstra in Australia... Phone came from web, with rogers rom on it...
I can now boot to ClockworkMOd Recovery v5.0.2.0 (I had to use fastboot to get the loader on)....
It's great, I get the menu and everything, but when I select on of the options (actually, any of the options), by pressing the power button, I just get the blank screen with the hat logo... nothing happens (ie, if I select load zip from sdcard).... I can press the power button again to get to the main menu, but nothing else...
I'm assuming that I still need to get s-off functioning prior to being able to flash the rom?
I've also loaded the flashimageGUI.apk file to the phone on the SD card... Rebooted in both hboot and recovery, but nothing seems to happen...
Actually, at the bottom of ClockworkMod, the following is displayed in white (rest of the text is in blue):
E:Can't mount /cache/recovery/command
E:Can't mount /cache/recovery/log
E:Can't open /cache/recovery/log
E:Can't mount /cache/recovery/last_log
E:Can't open /cache/recovery/last_log
Just to clarify, I'm on 3G...
Hi Guys, still stuck...
I've followed the instruction on:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1193540&page=3
... but still no luck... I still have S-ON and not able to flash any ROMS...
I am also unable to get any response from ADB, and also revolutionary.exe just sits there 'waiting for device'...
Any more suggestions... getting desparate here!
have you flashed a custom rom if so that may be the problem what has happen is you lost your boot.img exract it from the zip file on your pc or laptop now go the that folder and open it up scroll down untile you come across your boot.img now copy it to the same folder that you have your adb and your fastboot in now open up cmd and typ fastboot flash boot boot.img press enter and your back up and running
Sorry for long post but I've tried to provide a sufficient level of detail. If the answer is in another thread let me know. I've read quite a few of them now!
I've had my flyer for a short time and was loving it until I tried to mod it.
I installed CWM and Superuser root and had it "S-Off". I tried to flash the Leedroid HC rom. It seemed to be dead on re-boot just the HTC screen. I did a restore from CWM and got Gingerbread back. Some apps like default browser did not work though.
Now I had a mostly working system I followed the O'brian (think' that correct name) including using official HTC unlocker as was in instructions. Tried to use another HC rom and the ARU wizard. I got an error 155 and an RUU failure msg on device. Not sure what to do know. I have download this file "Best RUU_Flyer_HTC_WWE_2.23.405.3_R_Radio_20.3504.30.089BU_3809.07.04.06_M_release_204108_signed". Nothing much happens when I run it other than seeing the install screen, then it exits. I really need some help to get back to some kind of working system.
Been through thread "[GUIDE][Flyer+View]Gingerbread S-

Can't follow post 17 to get S-Off as device will not boot into android!
From CWM Backup, the external SD card I used seem to have got corrupted. This could have been root of problems

nandroid.md5 - file error
Boot.img, recovery.img and system.img files seem ok...
Got this msg from "revolutionary.exe" when tried to get -"S-Off" again.

Your help appreciated, at end of my tether!
allot to take in but best I could tell you were on gingerbread and maybe tried to flash Lee Droid HC version so that would not work. So then you followed an old thread to update to HC using Paul Obrien's method whcih requires HTC Dev unlock of the boot loader. At this point in time you can not flash any roms via recovery and your system will not boot into android.
Please confirm if I am following what happened to you and if while in your hboot screen it says Unlock up top.
Thanks for replying.
In summary that's correct.
If I hold down the vol-down button I get the screen that says:

I still have USB access to it via fastboot I think
ok so here we go
no hc rom will just directly flash and boot because you can not overwrite the boot.img via recovery with HTC dev unlock. If you wanted to flash say Leedroid you would have to pull the boot.img from the rom package then fastboot flash it first then back to recovery and flash the rom. This is a hacky way to do it and to be honest every time you flashed a rom you would have to do the same. Here is what I suggest:
follow this thread here to downgrade
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1307759
you may likely be able to skip the misc version part. Hopefully you are aware of what your stock ruu is. If you tried running it before and it failed it was because you did not relock the boot loader prior to trying as is described in the thread I linked
Once, hopefully, you are back on GB, I would run this method to get to HC
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1358758
now, if you flashed a hc rom on your device and it will not boot, just as mentioned flash the boot.img via fastboot from the rom and it should boot. This is if you are looking for the easy fix, and assuming I understand everythign you have done to this point
I have downloaded this file to use as my stock RUU
"RUU_Flyer_HTC_WWE_2.23.405.3_R_Radio_20.3504.30.089BU_3809.07.04.06_M_relea
se_204108_signed.exe".
I will go through steps 1 to 8 of the thread and the rest if I can. I am not sure about step 8, it says boot to android. Are you saving if I managed to get that far I will have some kind of working system back before I proceed further?
I will have a go now and let you know how I get get long.
Cheers!
as I stated you may not need to do the misc version part. and you do not need to flash recovery and su if you already have both
I followed the steps and apllied the HTC unlocker again, then flashed the recover.img with no error messages and put the Super User zip on my external SD card. I used the CWM install from zip option, seemed to proceed, no errors reported. When I re-booted the tablet I just have an empty black screen and nothing else. Should I proceed with the RUU or stop and try something else?? If I turn it off it immediately comes back on again to blank screen. The only way to keep it turned off is to use the power down option on hboot menu.
you were unlocked
you already had recovery
you already had super user
you did not have to repeat any of these steps
if you can get into hboot then follow the instructions to revert assuming you have the three things mentioned above. You can likely skip the misc-version step. If you get a message while flashing the ruu that states older version you will have to do the misc-version step which since you can not boot into android can be done in recovery as adb will see your device in recovery
I do not really think you are in too bad of a way right now, but without meaning to offend you, you scare me with not paying attention to what is being said. One concern I have is to make sure you have enough battery life left. If you hit less than 30% you will not be able to run the RUU. If you are confident that you have that much continue. If not power down through fastboot and charge for a couple of hours.
Please read, read, read, and do nothing unless you are atleast 50% confident that you understand
Hi
I really appreciate the help you are giving me. The only did all the steps just in case as I am paranoid about missing something important. I do think I have enough battery so I will see if I can use the RUU I downloaded
Thanks
I am now running the RUU, it says "updating rom image". It is showing a black screen with the letters HTC in white in the middle. I hope this works.
Thanks for your help.
Comment has been edited, sorry for silly question, answered in thread you mentioned
that is normal
My god, I am so relieved. To tired to be estatic. It's taken me 24 hours and only two hours sleeps to get back to Stock! You save my bacon Mcord! The battery after flashing was nearly 100%. Thankfully I kept it charging even though it was bricked in an attempt to increase the rescue time I had. The only downside is I missed a ski class I'd paid for and having to pay the "Filefactory" company for a subscription so I could reliably download the RUU.
I've learnt the hard way for sure. Anybody else reading this don't assume that just reading the instructions is enough. My SD Card had corrupt backup recovery files on it. How often do we double-check the integrity of our backups? the SD card may have also mean that the rom loaded onto it was corrupt as well. I should have checked the MD5 of all the files.
Thanks again!! I think I'll pause a bit before Honeycomb and def backup!
happy your back up and running. your problem was just not fully understanding the differences between GB and HC and S off and HTC Dev unlock. the thread I linked you is the one to use going forward if moving to HC and looking to run custom roms. As I mentioned before read, read, read.
What if in addition adb don't work ?
Hello,
I tried to downgrade, but the adb command don't work : device not found response...

Hello all, Ive lost several days to this now and have finally signed up to ask you all for help on "unbricking" my Evo3d.
Ive done so much i cant quite remember a full list, but alas my problem is essentialy i have deleted the OS on the phone and now every time i try to flash a .zip to the phone (i am using TWRP which seems to be working fine) it says FAILED and gives me an error whilst trying to find /cache.
So it appears my /cache folder has dissapeared aswell? The cure for this (from what i have read online) is to boot into your rom and then restart to bootloader, however there is no rom to boot into on the phone.
ALL I WANT IS STOCK.
Just to be able to use the phone again, before it was on 4.0.2 i think and even though i have S-ON i still tried to load a custom kernal and rom, this then obviousely put me into a bootloop which was ok, except i have no idea how to go back to stock.
I have tried several RUU files (at 400mb a pop) ALL of which fail and give me the error 155 unknown error during the installing on my computer.
I believe the image that the RUU.exe says my phone is was 3.*** (i cant remember exactly but if anyone needs to know i can boot it up again)
I have tried the RUU to return it to 1.21 or something similar but that also failed.
Seemingly i cant do anything with the phone and hours apon hours of googling is getting me no where.
Please help somebody it would be greatly appreciated.
EDIT- I can now no longer boot into recovery for an unknown reason, i tried another RUU it failed in exactly the same fashion, now i boot the phone and it loads a small picture of a phone with a green circle icon next to it, this then turns into a red triangle with a "!" inside of it, then i have to remove the battery.
Crap.
I think I have found why the RUU were not working, its because my bootloader was unlocked.
I have relocked my bootloader, ran the RUU and it has errored again except this time it says Customer ID number.
I presume this means the CID number on my phone is incorrect? Which would sort of make sense because i think i may have changed it at the very beginning whilst i was following a guide.
How on earth do i find out what to change it back to? I have no idea what the original was
EDIT-
************FIXED**************
Use the fastboot commands to change your CID to what is required (HTC or Vodafone) This must be done with unlocked bootloader.
LOCK YOUR BOOTLOADER
Run the RUU file that you wish to apply and voila.
Thanks xda!
Hi,
I've spend 3 days on this now, I tried to update my ROM, but it failed to load and whilst trying to sort it managed to wipe everything on my phone. So I'm now stuck with only being able to get into recovery either TWRP or CWM. But I've tried reverting back to the RUU, but this just stops with error 158 wrong image, which I have tried on three different machines running windows 7 and 8.1. I then tried to access the internal storage via TWRP to either place a backup on there or a new rom to update from, but this will not allow me access, I can see the drive and open it, but as soon as I try and do anything with it, it stops and says device has either stopped working or has been disconnected every time. I then tried to sideload a ROM via TWRP but that doesn't connect. I then tried to install from a sideoaded ROM in CWM and I managed to get it to work once and send the file OMNI rom, but it failed to update with a error 7. Now I cant get it to work at all and I can't get ADB to start and find my device. Im now also fighting a battle to keep the battery charged and using a BAT to charge it currently at 3888mV. FASTBOOT works fine and so I can flash the boot and recovery parts but everything else is not working
Can any one please help me.

Hi, thanks for everyone who viewed this, but managed to get my phone working, I managed to push a rom zip to my phone with ADB and used TWRP to install it. Fully working again!!!
Please could you kindly put the steps you went through as a tutorial for others?
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

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.

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.
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.
