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.

i just redownloaded all my sprint drivers, sdk including, also have a fresh version of htc sync manager.

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....

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.

That's a good point! I'm on hboot 1.5. So I would have to unroot, update to new OTA, then HTC unlock again? I'm just trying to understand. I'm gonna try this route, if I can unlock/root my phone again.

Yes, this is the route to go. I myself have an evo3d with hboot1.5. my phone was unlocked prior the OTA update. I tried everything to get that OTA installed but no chance. The reason is that the radio within the OTA wont install because you are still S-On even though you are unlocked .
So I had to

I got to Step 5 and am now STUCK.
It goes in and says it is loading, then checking the PG86.IMG.ZIP file, then nothing..
It goes back to FASTBOOT, RECOVERY, FACTORY RESET, (which I've tried, to no avail), SIMLOCK, and IMAGE CRC.
If I reboot without holding down any keys, it goes back there again.
It says RELOCKED at the top. It also says I'm still S-ON. I don't know how to get back to standard factory E3D.
HELP!

Going to try this on mine today to get back to stock....hboot 1.50 the directions above are right on track
Hmmmm, possibly role back to hboot 1.40?? That might come in handy instead of loading ROMs via fastboot all the time, I like to switch on the fly, and I can't really do that with having to break out my laptop and run through cmd...
Any chance I could get someone to upload this to mega uploads for me? My work network blocks the site listed above. Just the full Rom if you could please.

As far as I know you cannot roll back hboot.
So far no you cannot roll back H-boot. But you can still flash on the fly. I use Flash Img GUI from the market to flash the kernel for the Rom, then I boot to recovery and flash the Rom. Works just fine for me even when switching from ASOP to Sense.
You can roll back hboot if you have s off

You are not bricked yet. The problem is PG86.IMG.ZIP. This is not how it suppose to be renamed. It should say PG86IMG.zip and not PG86.IMG.ZIP
If the downloaded zip from the OP does not work, download the file from the post #16 and you should be good to go.
That PG86IMG Alammori provided works for anyone who was unsuccessful with the ones in the OP.

Sorry if the answers im looking for are somewhere else but i cant find them. Im not new to the rooting game but it has been awhile, last phone rooted was the original evo and ive fallen behind on the new software and such. anyways ive rooted successfully and am running hboot 1.19 with s-on. for some reason i get the same error message when flasing a rom saying that sdcard cannot be found. do i need to be running s-off with 1.19 to flash roms?

Hopefully that all that is needed... but S-OFF is the way to go if you can do it. It will save you so many headaches in the future. HTC is making it harder on s-on people to do anything to their phone, this started with the 3.15 JB update and will probably get worse. S-OFF my friend S-OFF

Hold the phone. Flashing TOO new of a recovery (like TWRP 2.4.1) can also cause problems. There's something that the dev has to place in the ROM in order to be compatible with 2.4.1. May I suggest you try 2.3.1? It seems to be the "sweet spot" and works with most ROMs out there today.

I have only seen a few threads where people were stuck on the white htc boot screen. And they were all rooted with custom roms and such. And if this was my phone, I would also be rooted with custom roms.
But this is my dads phone. Completely stock from the day he bought it. Two days ago, out of nowhere, it decided just to never turn on again.
It boots to the white htc screen and then hangs there. Every few seconds the screen will blink. I tried to remove the sim card and boot the phone because I read that can be an issue. But notta.
Hes not worried about his phone, (I know I can do a factory reset on it and get it running again). Hes worried about all of his data. He had a lot of very sentimental stuff on his phone. My Grandpa just passed away and he had all kinds of pictures and stuff on there. Now a lot of that might be on the sd card, but I don't know how much is on the phone storage itself.
So I have a bricked stock recovery, stock rom, not rooted rezound, and I need to know if its possible to get any data off of the onboard storage.
I have the drivers and I have tried to use adb from the stock recovery, but it adb will not recognize the device. Fastboot however does recognize the phone, but from my understanding, I can't do any backing up with fastboot. I would need adb for that. I have also read that adb will not recognize the stock recovery, that you need a custom recover like clockwork first. But In order for my to install clockwork, I would have to unlock the bootload and therefore wipe out all the phones data anyways.
So Im really having a hard time here. I don't want to have to tell my dad that any pictures of my grandpa that weren't on the sdcard are gone now.
Is there any way?
Thanks for the help

I think so, ill have to double check when i get home from work in a bit. Im assuming because fastboot detects the phone fine.
If fastboot sees the phone and works, is there any way to pull the data off the phone? I was under the assumption that you could only "pull" and "push' files from adb.
So adb won't detect the phone at all unless the rom is running? So adb is out of the question?

Ok, im a little confused right now. Im sorry. Im not used to this phone, I personally have a Galaxy nexus which I rooted and put custom Rom'ed etc, and it was a little different.
When you say "use fastboot commands while in botloader / hboot"
What do you mean? When I start the phone by holding down the volume down key, it brings up the stock bootloader with a few options. (fastboot, recovery, factory reset, reload bootloader, and power off, I believe) But im not sure what you mean by hboot?
Fastboot only works if I select the fastboot from the bootloader on the phone. Then on the pc "fastboot devices" command detects the phone.
From there I should be able to use fastboot commands to pull data off of the phone your saying. Forgive me for this, but how do I know what commands to use to pull all the data off?
Again, thanks for coming in here and choosing to try and help me

fastboot will only allow you to use commands...for example...extract the boot.img outta the rom you tried flashing and put it in the folder on your pc where you have fastboot stored....then cd into the folder in command prompt and type "fastboot flash boot boot.img" without the quotations....if you read my s-off you will never have to use fastboot to flash anything at all....as for adb there really isnt much you can do to "pull" stuff from your phone...htc works much different than samsung or any other androids
Edit: because you are s-on you always have to do this for flashing anything....including recovery....you have to unlock your bootloader via htcdev.com to run any fastboot commands though

Yea, the bootloader reads "SHIP S-ON"
So basically were screwed right now. There is no way for me to pull data like pictures off of the phones storage within fastboot. I would need to unlock the bootloader to do this, which will wipe the phones data anyways wont it?

no it just unlocks your bootloader...your not flashing a rom or wiping anything...and no theres no way to pull anything with htc phones in fastboot as far as i know...i think i may have seen a program that may do something but not sure...also this may help..once you unlock bootloader you can install a custom recovery and mount internal storage from custom recovery and pull your files off that way

Ohhhh ok, that would be great.
Im still a little scared about that though, because on my phone, unlocking the bootloader automatically factory rest and wiped data. And I keep reading everywhere that unlocking the bootloader on the rezound also wipes the data / factory resets. Even on the instructions posted here:
http://www.droidforums.net/forum/ht...nlocking-rooting-rom-ing-faq.html#post2083197
It states that your data will be wiped. And that the final steps asks you to confirm to a factory reset to unlock the bootloader?
I mean, I guess at this point its my only shot anyways, ill never get those pictures off with the bootloader locked. But are you certain that unlock wont do a factory reset?
Again, thanks for helping so far
EDIT:
Also while I was running through the steps on the htcdev.com, it gives this disclaimer:
" To prevent unauthorized access to your data, unlocking the bootloader will delete all personal data from your device including applications, text messages and personalized settings."

No it will not...that guide you posted has things way off....all it does is simply unlock your bootloader/hboot period....follow the steps they give here http://www.htcdev.com/bootloader/ and youll be set i also see no where on that page where it wipes anything...ive done this more times than i can count on both my hands and toes...i know what it does...updating via a ph98img file or flashing a new rom wipes all your data
Edit: i can even have many other people / and even developers vouch for me on this....i wouldnt lie to you

Unlocking your bootloader with a stock phone/recovery will do a factory reset.
Mine reset when it was still stock and both guides here state the same thing. I believe if you have a custom recovery the phone can't auto run the factory reset.

I rarely disagree with you @REV3NT3CH, but I am going to have to this time and confirm @mjones73 statement... unlocking the bootloader wipes everything, it is clearly stated on HTCdev.com that it will do this as a security measure. The instant you complete the procedure, all data is wiped permanently.

@REV3NT3CH
Can a signed ph98img ruu be altered with 7zip without breaking a signature? I think I might have an idea and it involves flashing an empty userdata img, stock system img and matching boot.
@hxdrummerxc
When you power on to fastboot relay the first 6 lines to me in upper left please.

you could make a re signed one which can be a pain....thinking of putting custom recovery in a signed ota?

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 i format it is everything going to be okay? and how do i download it like to my sd card?

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.

Did you relock it and try the RUU?
Sent from my HTC device
I didn't try that, I'm a noob about these things, I'm sorry, when I get the ruu, what do I do? Do I just install it directly from my computer? Or use the fastboot commands?
