Hello everybody
The new ICS update for the ROGERS EVO 3D just came out yesterday, so I restored my phone to the original firmware (via restoring the backup I did in the recovery) and then proceeded to download the OTA update. After it finished, the phone rebooted into the recovery (i have 4-ext touch recovery) and started installing. After it finished, the phone rebooted and then got stuck on the white HTC screen. I managed to enter the recovery again and restore the original firmware again. What is that I'm doing wrong here? Here is some helpful info:
Rogers EVO 3D, GSM version
Unlocked bootloader (HTCDEV method), S-ON
carrier unlocked
HBOOT 1.49.0008
OS is rooted
I'm in the same boat but I'm not able to do a recovery. I went through the update process and when the phone rebooted it got stuck on the white htc screen. I can get it into the bootloader menu but when i choose recovery it starts but then i get an error with a pic of the device and the red yield sign. If i choose factory reset it just gets stuck at the white htc. I read some other posts and I saw that having an unlocked bootloader may cause issues with updates so that may be your issue as for me, I'm not sure what I can do. I may just need the actual update file to redo the update but I'm not sure where to find it.
Same here, but I don't get half way through the ota update before I see the red triangle and exclamation mark. Phone will boot into stock recovery (which I would assume you need instead of modded recovery) and the update starts, but doesn't complete. I pull the battery and the phone boots up normally. Just can't seem to get through the update. Could be something to do with being s-off I would guess.

Same problem but whit s-off
I have been predicting that this would happen... ICS failures with non-standard HBOOTs. Good luck.
Probably will have to wait for an RUU or custom.
I'd recommend using the GB ruu to get you back to full stock. Always found Rogers ota updates (possibly all carriers?) won't install if you're rooted or using a custom recovery.
I had to install the ruu via renaming the rom.zip to PG86IMG.zip and copying it to the sd card so that the bootloader would auto flash it. Running the ruu exe tossed up all kinds of errors.
It will put everything back to Rogers stock. After that just setup wifi and do the 2 Rogers OTA updates.
Once in ICS, it's easy peasy to get recovery and root back.
Also, for what it's worth, Go Backup is awesome for going rom to rom and not needing a full backup. Use it on rooted rom, then use it to restore after rooting new rom. Will do all your apk's and everything.
1st post here after years of lurking. Yay.

Alright thanks a lot
Just an update on what I did. I was able to reload the stock gb rom for rogers using the exe file, then I went through the 2 updates that came up when checking and ics is now up and running on my phone. However in my attempts of trying to fix the original problem, I managed to re-lock my bootloader before flashing to stock rom and I had s-on the whole time. hope this help.
i switched to stock like.. a week back?
jus got ota on 4th
i WAS rooted and using juopunutbear's hboot *u can jus get the hboot from their website*
so i jus flashed back stock recovery.. and updated.. and success.. lost root though.. and i was back to stock bootloader..
used the PG86IMG with juopunutbear's bootloader and 4ext recovery.. and flashed cwm supersu.. v0.91 i think.. i dunno.. latest one.. and bam.. im on stock.. rooted.. and works perfectly..
Possible sollution
Maybe try flashing one of the customized ROMs that are based on the latest OTA update. I'm sure Anryl's newest rom is blazing-fast and stable. You can find it in the gsm android development forum and flash it via recovery. Make sure you have the latest 4ext recovery installed, though.
where can a i find that stock rogers rom i modified mine and that might be the reason i get a security failure in hboot. s is on. when i run the ruu file in windows to downgrade i get error 155. when i run the the update from about phone. it locks up with blue android guy and yellow exclamation mark. i remove the battery and she boots fine with no changes.
I am trying to do same. Get stuck on HTC screen. I have S-ON. Was on cobra 2.4 prior.
If anyone can give details on how to fix it, it would be great! Please no saying "install exe". I need to know which exe etc.
just wanted to tell everyone that in order for the ota update to work properly, you need to be running stock unrooted firmware with a locked bootloader. Just relock your bootloader, reinstall the stock firmware, upgrade to ics via ota, then re-unlock and re-root.
Hi
I have a HTC EVO 3D from Rogers that was got messed up during changing networks... rooted the phone for no apparent reason... to now get a update for it for ics from the provider and it bricked the phone.
It's stuck at HTC boot screen, can get fastboot USB from bootloader. recovery gets a ! in a triangle and factory reset doesn't work, freezes at splash screen after restarting the phone. Was stupid not making a backup or searching for programs to back it up before I went ahead and clicked update
It has HTC boot-loader 1.49 s-on but is rooted.
I am looking for clear(fix my evo for dummies) step by step instructions with correct installation for my model of phone, HTC EVO 3D Rogers GSM, or anything that could replace the os to get my phone to be useful again I'm currently using my backup phone a HTC G1 HTC ftw
Try kingcobra's rom, ota from rogers will not boot due to the fact that your phone is rooted, kingcobra's rom is based on rogers ota, flash it and leave it.

Go to the gsm development forum and download the RUU for the phone, and restore it to stock unrooted OS. Before you do that though, make sure that your phone's BOOTLOADER IS LOCKED. Look up how to re-lock your bootloader. After you relock your bootloader, you can proceed with restoring the phone.
Soooo.... basically, what I'm getting from this is, if you like having a locked bootloader, CWM and root, don't bother trying to install this OTA update because it's a headache. Agree?
The phone's not mine, it's my wife's, and she doesn't want anything special or like the idea of me messing around in her phone.
I was about to install this late last night, just about to hit that button, then I thought, "what about the bootloader? what about root? what about the fact that it's now unlocked and being used on a carrier other than Rogers?"
Hello,
Right, I am aware that I've probably made a huge mistake, but I thought, "hey, warranty void because of my screen, why not?", but I have searched and searched and was up until three this morning trying to find a solution, but I only kept getting confused (bare in mind I'm only sixteen).
I rooted my phone using the HTCDev method, and flashed the LoLic Sense ROM, it worked and I turned my phone back on and it got stuck on the bootscreen. So, I downloaded the RUU and tried to go back to stock, and it kept failing. I even tried the PG86IMG.zip and even that didn't work. So, I downgraded to the LEEDroid ROM that came with the revolutionary package I'd used before the official update to ICS, and now I can't even get past the initial HTC screen.
Please can anybody help me get back to stock on my phone? I've managed it before, but this time I keep seeming to come up short.
Thank you
EDIT:
I'm on HBOOT 1.53.0007 - after updating to the official ICS.
I've tried downgrading using the Gingerbread RUU and it won't install on the phone. I can't S-OFF using the wire trick because I'm afraid to break it even more.
I've tried flashing the rooted GB zip in clockworkmod and it says its installed, but I can't turn the phone on and it only gets to the first white HTC screen and then turns itself off.
I'm terrified that I may have broken my only phone and I don't know what to do, please can somebody help me?
If you are S-ON HTC Dev unlocked you need 4ext with smartflash or fastboot flash boot boot.img to install the kernel.
Hello i need help unrooting my evo lte.I used zedomax method to get super su.I didnt know or should i say i didnt read that it doesnt unlock the booloader.the process is to complicated for me.Iam now trying to unroot and return to stock.I know if you go into super su you can undo the changes to go back to your prevthat were made.my bootloader is locked.I have s-on.I have been trying to install the ruu that matches my phones software settings.i downloaded the drivers for the evo.I downloaded microsoft framework 4.0.my problem is this every time i go to install the ruu it fails because my drivers go back to saying android 1.0 and when i try to update drivers it does not let me.i am running on windows 7 64bit.this is really getting annoying.Is there any way to install the ruu through the bootloader?One more thing i tried putting the phone in fastboot on the bootloader but i still get the android 1.0 and i cant update the drivers on my pc..I am running software version 1.12.651.1 710rd.If anyone can help i would really appreciate it thanks.P.S pardon my poor grammer.

How to Root/Unroot HTC Evo 4G LTE! [Windows/Mac/Linux][One-Click][<=1.22.651.1]
A quick peek at the android development section would have been quick and painless
not working
I did check out the thread.Im following the intructions.Like i said before when installing the ruu and my phone try s to reboot into the bootloader i get a error code 171.Thats because i cant update the drivers during the process.I go from my htc to android 1.0 and i cant update the drivers.Also one more thing my software version is displayed as 1.13.651.1_r2.But the ruu i downloaded only say 1.13.651.1.Can i still use that ruu?I cant seem to find a ruu thast has the _r2 at the end.Im sorry that im being a pain in the butt.
No its not that you are being a pain it's just that there's been a rash of people trying to revert to stock to take the ota. They all ask the same question and then they don't follow the directions or they don't read them correctly and end up back here with more issues. Try flashing a stock recovery and take the ota
A couple days ago I felt the same exact way thinking if anything happens to my phone I can't return it to sprint or anyone I rooted the same exact method that you did but I did my research and eventually gave up on trying to flash a ruu over being rooted with the boot loader unlocked has way more perks then having stock sense 4.0 if you ever need to update radios or anything upgrade the android software later on all you do is flash it there's so many people on xda to help you along the way as well believe me I thought I messed up my phone several times but like I said thanks to the good people at xda I'm enjoying my phone a lot better then the day I bought it brand new

Go to this thread: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2197909 (viperRuu)
It has everything you need to get yor phone ready for a return, I've used it myself, it's pretty easy, download the drivers in that thread and you might need to install htc sync also, that maybe your main issue, get all the files from there and good luck.
I've started down the path of getting S-OFF on my M8. I have unlocked the bootloader and rooted the phone. I then started to get S-OFF and got as far as installing InsertCoin, which worked fine. I then attempted to install FireWater, but quickly found that won't work any more so I need to use Sunshine. OK, fine with that but Sunshine will not run, giving an error message that it cannot be run on a device that is debugable. I read in another post that someone got this working by installing a new bootloader. I did try this and even tried many different bootloaders but nothing worked. I have the device back booting into Android with InsertCoin installed.
So my question is what do I need to do to get the device into a state where Sunshine will work? Or, how can I revert the InsertCoin install??
Any help is greatly appreciated.
Stock ROM and stock recovery are best for sunshine, from what I've read.
**Resolved**
Thanks. I found stock roms on the HTC website and was able to get the device back into it's factory state.
