I have a Wind AWS Amaze 4G. I unlocked the bootloader and rooted it. I then tried out various custom roms and the few that actually loaded didn't support wi-fi. Now trying to go back to the stock rom, every time I try to flash it in TWRP 2.6.3.0, I get install failed: File_getprop: failed to stat, error executing updater binary in zip, error flashing zip. This is getting very frustrating. It's like TWRP is only letting me flash unstable roms.
Stock.

You can try newer version of TWRP or another recovery, perhaps 4EXT?
Might also be necessary to do factory reset and format all partitions except sdcard--both internal and external if given the choice.
Going back to stock will put you back to s-on, I believe. There are stock-based rom's that will not put you back to s-on. Maybe you never got s-off. In which case, 4EXT will most likely let you successfully flash those other rom's by enabling TOOLS->ENABLE SMART FLASH.
Good luck finding what you want.
I tried with CWM, and the same happened. I was able to flash the Mobilicity (Dave) rom, and then got stuck at the HTC splash screen. When I rebooted, wiped, and tried to flash the same rom, it aborted and threw the same error codes!
I've completely wiped all partitions on the phone. I never had S-OFF. I thought that it wasn't necessary since I was able to unlock the bootloader.
I will try with 4EXT and report back. Thanks.

I followed this guide here to root my EVO 3D:

Then my friend who already had a rooted Galaxy S told me to get ROM Manager and it installed Clockwork Recovery. I didn't know you only needed one recovery since I'm noob at this and when I tried to install a Custom ROM with Clockwork, it just boots and I get the Sprint logo and nothing happens. I try to boot into TWRP and nothing also happens. I think having two recoverys is going a major issue with my phone and I'm unable to install any roms. Is there anyway to go back to just having the TWRP Recovery and get rid of the ClockWork/ROM Manager? Or will I have to reset everything and root again?
Huh... Sounds like the hboot 1.5 is giving you issues... Use image GUI app for 1.5 to flash right from normal android mode( everyday user mode) look the thread in themes and apps to get it installed. Let me know how it goes here. No link as I'm using the tapa app

You can't have 2 recoveries installed at the same time...if you initially had TWRP, when you flashed clockwork it would've over-written TWRP. You don't need to reset anything or re-root to get back to TWRP. You should just be able to flash TWRP again. Use the method from the thread you initially followed. Just the part about flashing TWRP is all you need to do. I've never tried it, but you could also try flashing it with the app flash gui image, or something to that nature. Joeykrim developed it and I've heard it works nice, here's where to find info about it, http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1192527. If your phone won't boot, the flash gui image app prob wouldn't be the best way. I would just boot your phone to fastboot, re-flash TWRP recovery, then flash a rom and try rebooting.
I don't have hboot 1.5, so I'm not up to date on the 'special' ways you need to flash, but I know that you need to boot into recovery from fastboot in order to flash a kernel, and I'm not sure if there's other steps you need to to take in the flashing process, so research that and make sure you're doing it correctly. If you don't boot to recovery from fastboot, the kernel won't flash and you'll be stuck in boot loops or something like that. Good luck.
Thank you guys! The flash image gui thing made the fix very seamless. I just flashed TWRP again and now it's showing up. Flashing synergy nitely now. Woot!
Maybe it was a bad ROM zip I flashed, maybe I poked around the build.prop with Root Explorer too much, either way, I managed to bork my EVO LTE.
As it stands, I cannot boot into any new ROMs. I've tried TWRP as well as ClockWork Recovery. Every time I flash a ROM, it either hangs up on the white HTC screen with the red disclaimer forever, or it hangs, then reboots back into recovery.
The only functional ROM I have is a nandroid backup I made in TWRP, and I can only boot into it when I restore it from backup. If I try to flash the exact same ROM, same hang ups. Once I'm in that ROM I can factory restore, wipe everything except system, and boot into it fine. It's only when I try to flash anything new that my EVO stops booting.
I've tried flashing stock recovery, relocking the bootloader, and running the RUU, but it stops on "Updating Signature" and gives me "Error 132 Signature Error" and does not complete the RUU.
I've tried relocking bootloader and re-running the rooting tool.
I've unlocked, relocked, unrooted, rerooted, tried different recoveries. I have no idea why I can't just wipe everything, flash a ROM, and boot into it.
Any help would be immensely apprecited!!!

Have you tried running the ruu while in bootloader mode?

Can you do that? I thought you had to be in fastboot to run the RUU.exe. Even if you're inside a ROM and you run the RUU, doesn't it reboot your phone to fastboot to complete the RUU process?
Anyway, every time I try to run the RUU it gives me the Error 132 Signature Error.
I had an OG EVO, and when **** hit the fan you could put a PC36IMG.zip on the root of the SD and that WOULD run through bootloader. Is there something similar for the EVO LTE? If I could RUU from bootloader or even recovery or ADB that would be awesome.
We can't PG75IMG due to S-on, as I understand it. Have you tried to Google what that error means?

My bad, i meant fastboot.
Ok, I started out with a htcdev unlock, Root, CDMA, 4ext recovery. I ran Juopunutbear, and got the "wire trick" right the first time. I was able to boot into stock ROM, everything worked fine. I tried to flash CM9 Devil Toast, Bootloop. I tried MeanROM ICS, bootloop. I tried MeanROM 4.5 gb, bootloop. I tried to flash my pre-s-off recovery, Bootloop.
Needless to say, feeling a bit clueless. Any Ideas?
What I mean by bootloop, HTC screen, restart, HTC screen, Restart.
I know I am not supost to post my own thread, I searched, I really did.

I can not get any ROM to flash right now, how does one flash a new firmware?
Also, after a few factory resets, and attempts to flash other rooted StockROMs, I now get the HTC screen, then powers off.
Install 4ext recovery. Wipe EVERYTHING except sdcard 2 times. Flash a "Wipe-All zip" (optional), flash rom then you should be able to boot up.

There should be a link to the firmware in the OP of the rom.
You flash it in the bootloader, volume up button.

Did you flash the latest radios using Freeza's all in one? Download the zip from the following post, place on root of sd card, reboot into bootloader and have it update, then remove the zip and reboot into recovery. Flash ROM.

I ended up going back to revolutionary via the fastboot USB and DOS command root method.
I was missing the PRL and firmware. But am now up and flashing like it was halftime at a professional sporting event!
Yeah this may sound stupid but here as far as I can get, I've unlocked the boot loader, I've flashed either recovery they both load fine.
When I tried to install SuperSu, letting TWRP do it when you exit, and that achieved me a fine fine brick, that it'd get stuck on HTC screen on boot forever, so I went back into bootloader and flashed complete stock again, locking the bootloader before hand ofc, so then I redid all the steps aside from flashing supersu and I get this error when flashing the latest CM10.1

No matter what I do I get that error, do I need to be rooted to install a custom room? Stupid question but yeah.
Hi m4r0v3r,
This thread should help you get there.
II'm getting Emmc errors with twrp when I try to backup or flash new roms. Kinda weird since I used Twrp to flash a 4.3 rom in the first place but now I want to upgrade to 4.4.
Is it just a Twrp error and I should be using another recovery?

What version of TWRP? Only version 2.6.3.0 is supported for KitKat based ROMs... That being said, it sounds like your internal storage is corrupted (emmc=internal storage), which usually requires running an RUU to correct, unfortunately this requires S-OFF, assuming you were on the current OTA update.
I'm pretty sure it's the latest version of Twrp. The phone functions fine and it was okay when flashing the 4.3 rom.. Is running an RUU and S-OFF difficult?
emmc
I had the same problem last nite with S-0n and EMMC errors and TWRP.
Cured it by flashing the AmonRa recovery, wiping the hell out of what could be wiped (many errors)
then reinstalled TWRP 2.6.3.0 (only) and miraculously, it did finally format the internal, cache, and data
that were giving EMMC errors.
Yes, you should HTC unlock, install a modded Rom, and carefully follow the new S-0ff (no wire trick) RumRunner
S-0ff for Rezound. S-0ff will prevent you from borking your phone and allow faster ROM installs.
Easy to do if you do "just and only what it wants" for advance preparation.
After S-0ff, you relock it, flash Scotty's Relocked to Locked zip, and run RUU of your choice, or if at this point
it's all good, load up your next daily user.
Running the RUU gets rid of the Tampered hboot status.
Before you do anything, try wiping your Internal SD (back it up if you can get to it via your rom) via TWRP, sometimes it's just simple as that. If that doesn't do the trick, follow the advice already given.
