[Q] I can't restore my Evo 3D (CDMA - Sprint) - HTC EVO 3D

Earlier today, I rooted my friends Evo 3D successfully with HTCDev. In an excited hurry, I installed CWM and formatted the SD card, system, data, and caches. I hadn't thought it through, and trying to install LiquidSmooth, CM 11, and PACrom each had different errors, mainly the fact that each didn't like what the versions were and had errors ranging from the bootloader wasn't right or the device model wasn't right. Then I tried installing an RUU to get an OS back on the phone. First, I used the Android forums RUU exe Then I just downloaded a RUU zip and tried to flash it with no luck. (I got an error 99: unknown error). Now I am left with an OSless phone and the possibility of having to buy him a new one. I highly doubt it will come to that but it is always a scary possiblity.
Device Info
- Sprint CDMA
- Unlocked Bootloader
- S-On (Can probably S-Off it if need be.)
- HBoot 1.58.0000
- ROM Version 2.95.xxxxxx (don't know rest)
- TWRP 2.6.3.0 ( Can change it if need be.
- No OS
- Freshly formatted /system and /sdcard
Any help would be greatly appreciated
Thanks,
Owen

You need to put a stock based ICS rom.zip on your SD card and flash through cwm. Just dont wipe SD before install.
You need soff before liquid smooth will work.

Need to relock bootloader to use ruu.
Also would use 4ext recovery. It's works better for s-on bootloader.

You need a recovery like jcfunk said... Don't use HTCdev use the communities bootloader unlock... Also make sure you have the right hboot for the ROM you choice... The Rom should tell you when one you need... With a real recover you can simply upgrade/downgrade the hboot to what you need...

A way to downgrade HBOOT from 1.02.0000 to 0.52.0000... May be!

Hi, everyone who have been waiting for a way to downgrade their HBOOT so that they can get S-OFF, cause they upgraded to the Official RUU Rom... I think I found a solution for you!
Also give you permanent ClockWork Recovery!
I haven't test it on any other Slide, cause I have only one. So, sorry if it didn't work for you.
Here is what I did, in case you're wondering, I downloaded the Official RUU from HTC Support website, extracted the 'rom.zip' file from Windows Temp folder that it creates, replaced the newer 1.02 HBOOT with 0.52 HBOOT, that I got from 'ESPRIMG.zip' (the Stock rom).
And also replaced the recovery.img with ClockWork Recovery img file.
Then I just renamed the 'rom.zip' file to 'ESPRIMG.zip'
Put it in the root of my memory card, powered off, rebooted into BOOTLOADER, and it detected the file and asked me if I wanted to update, I chose YES, and it went on without a hitch. Next thing I knew, I had 0.52.0000 HBOOT, with permanent ClockWork Recovery(so I dont have to use 'update.zip' anymore), and also the Official Latest 2.15.531.3 unmodified rom, (I like stock Espresso, that's why I bought it ) but you will LOSE ROOT but SuperOneClick method works for me to gain root - http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=803682
Method:
1. Download this 'ESPRIMG.zip' file - http://www.mediafire.com/file/cuemg74en7kk0a3/ESPRIMG.zip
2. copy/paste it to your memory card, in the root, not on any folder.
3. Make sure your card formatted to FAT32 file system, or it won't detect it.
4. Do a Nandroid BACKUP, if you can, cause I don't know if this will work for you. But it will wipe all your data and setting. SO BACKUP!
5. First you need to wipe data and factory setting, and wipe cache and wipe davlik cache (Otherwise it bootlooped for me). So boot into recovery first!
You can do that by going into BOOTLOADER first then selecting Recovery ( for that remove memory card from mobile or else it will start update) or if you have ROM Manager then you can use that to reboot into Recovery, any recovery will do stock or clockwork.
6. Ok, so after Wiping from recovery. PULL battery, then insert back the memory card with ESPRIMG.zip file on it. Reboot into BOOTLOADER, and apply the update.
It should do a reboot automatically to downgrade the HBOOT.
You will see the change if it worked. After applying the update, reboot phone normally.
And if all done correctly, you should have 0.52.0000 HBOOT, and also a permanent ClockWork Recovery. Now you can root by using SuperOneClick method. And also get S-OFF (I didn't need it, cause I have permanent S-OFF! , at least that's how I explain it)
Im guessing it worked for me because I have a factory unlocked S-OFF HBOOT from HTC. Because, to try this out first, I updated my phone via the OFFICIAL RUU from HTC Support Website and it showed S-OFF on my 1.02.0000 HBOOT.
Then I tried this method and it did downgrade my HBOOT and I still had S-OFF without doing the AlphaREV method.
So I guess I have a kind of permanent S-OFF??! :S :?
Hit thanks if it helped.
I am no developer but I am learning
Any feedback would be appreciated.
And yes, my major is CS and I LOVE IT!
Don't ban me please! Just helping the community! And this is kind of a rom
can anyone confirm this working?
EDIT: i got really curious and decided to try... its a no go, after loading zip it checks it but never gives the option to update. it was worth a try though...
Well I'm pretty sure since the phone already had the higher hboot with S-OFF, of course you can downgrade to an older one because there is no security to prevent it from happening, clearly.
But I did upgrade my phone from the RUU, wouldn't that have made my hboot S-ON?? But it didn't.
Also this is created from the latest Rom Update RUU from HTC, so there shouldn't be a problem with applying the update from hboot, and I think it shouldn't give tat error,that 'the version yiu are flashing is lower thsn the current', sonething along the lines of that.
But as you know I dont have anyother Slide available to me. So, it may be worth a try. Only you guys can tell.

But it should detect the ESPRIMG.zip, at least it should go on to verify the package and then promt for update. Was your memory card formatted to FAT32 and not just FAT??

Maybe you could get the hboot file from an old rom and switch it with a recent rom and try that
Hi, sorry for bumping an older thread, but I was wondering if anyone has the file from the media fire link?
I would like to downgrade from hboot 1.02 but I don't know where else to go to get the files.

Hey man...
I have the EXACT same flyer, everything the same... Did you manage to get it s-off and rooted back to Honeycomb?? I have read all the forums, but I actually can't find a clear solution! Lemme know please or if anybody can put it simple! Thanks!
custom rom for flyer with stock hc
These steps would help :
- unlock boot loader over htcdev
- flash cwm with fastboot
- with cwm you're able to flash any custom rom (zip files)
It worked at least on my htc evo 3D.
Hey,
I have somewhat of the same question - but remain puzzled... I unlocked the Flyer's bootloader yesterday through HTCdev, flashed a Revolutionary recovery (based on CWM) through fastboot and could then install SuperUser through an update.zip in the stock ROM.
I have mode some development on other devices, so I'm familiar with bootloaders and stuff. The forums are mostly talking about S-OFF and I don't really understand how that concerns me, because now that my stock ROM is rooted, I can do whatever I like (remove bloat etc.). I may not understand all implications of S-ON, but I know that my bootloader tells me my Flyer is S-ON.
Now, is there any problem to flash another ROM through CW Recovery? Will, for example, LeeDroid's ROM replace anything connected to 3G (I have the model running on AWS frequencies, which are quite unusual). Could I simply flash LeeDroid's ROM, then get back to my stock backup without any problem?
I guess the question is; since my bootloader is unlocked, does S-ON or OFF concern me in any way? Or is S-OFF only important for those who can't unlock their bootloaders through HTCdev?
Thanks!
(I do promise to write something up for the wiki if ever I understand
S-On means you can't flash a custom ROM through recovery or ROM Manager. You can only flash using fastboot.
Thanks!
So considering that I just tried to downgrade to Gingerbread in Windows and that I got Error 155 (which seems to be undocumented - the message was à la 'something went wrong - I don't know what'), can I restore CW recoveries through fastboot as well?
I wouldn't mind to plug the cable, and S-OFF seems like an unnecessary hassle to me... (I just want OpenVPN and from here I took as much time trying to figure that out than I would need to compile the module myself).
I guess what puzzles me is this (from the LeeDroid thread): "If you have acheived S-Off via HTCDev, you will need to extract the boot.img from the Kernel.zip and flash it via fastboot"
I don't have S-OFF. I have an unlocked bootloader.
Does that mean that if I want to switch to LeeDroid I first have to fastboot flash boot.img and then install the rest through CW recovery?
Similarly, if I want to get back to stock, I fastboot flash the boot.img from my backup and apply the rest through CW recovery?
Thus: S-ON actually only prevents the boot partition to be changed outside from fastboot?
Thanks again!

Hm. I just did full restore with CW recovery.
And I had already applied update.zip's with the recovery.
ADD: SOLVED. What I wrote in the post above was right. I can apply any zip file, but CW can't write boot.img. Solution: fastboot flash boot boot.img.
All the rest works. In order to get back to a backup I guess it's the same way - flash boot.img, apply the restore.
cid: TMOB010 and HBoot 1.11.0011 Please Help Soff this thing.
I have the exact same problem and I assume I need s-off to make this work like a phone. Yes? Has anybody figured this out yet?

Ok, so my friend didn't go home when he was drunk. So he flashed a Sprint ROM on his AT&T HTC One.
The phone has Hboot 1.44 (Thank God)
I received the phone in these conditions:

What I was able to do:
Unlock it with fastboot commands

What I'm TRYING to do:
Root the phone- Cannot push SU or even get the PC to recognize the mounted sd card in TWRP
Gain s-off to run the RUU and revert to full stock.
Any help will be appreciated!

[Q] Unlocked S-ON Hboot1.58 Philz Touch Recovery

Please help. I have unlocked this phone through HTC Dev. I have flashed a custom recovery. Somewhere through this process, the original installation of the factory rom from VM was deleted. That doesn't bother me because I was never going back to it anyway, but If I had it right now, I wouldn't be here. I have tried to use the RUU exe in fastboot and the RUU zip in recovery from here. Neither will install, exe throws errors and the zip returns [bad]. I have also tried the [ROM] NegaLite-BluRom-JCFunk | 2.95 | Sprint/VM | Sense/Apex/Nova | 03/25/2014. This eventually installed, but will not boot even with installing boot.img separately. I followed all directions to the best of my ability, but by no means am I saying I did correctly, but I am pretty sure I did. So to recap - I have whats in the title, but no rom whatsoever installed that can be accessed. Any takers?
Some more info please, hboot version? Which recovery. s-on makes things harder.
To flash stock need to be relocked, stock will not flash from recovery.
If you put rom.zip, stock zip, in root of sdcard and rename to PG86IMG.zip. hboot will flash automaticly.
Or if you have a copy of the custom recovery img file on your computer, you can do a fastboot command that will let you boot from it and give it full write access.
fastboot boot recovery.img, then you can retry to flash negalite
img must be in directory you use fastboot in.
Philz recovery not working well for 3d, I use 4ext or my unofficial twrp.
Before I proceed in explaining anything, please let me Thank You JCFunk for lending me a hand in my endeavors. This is my first crack at a HTC device. So I'm a newb at locks, hboots, and HTC specifics. So, Thank You!
I scanned through a lot of information and I moved to quickly, thinking I would ace this project and not particularly following a guide step by step. I know I should just wire trick this phone. I am wanting to get to hboot 1.40 and use Revolutionary to S-OFF. Once that is achieved load a kitkat rom. This is just a project, not used for daily phone use - no service.

Would I be correct to say if I flashed the SetMainVersionLOW.zip that this method would likely work?
Also, if I am overcomplicating this(other than wire-trick) and there is an easier method, please advise.

How good are you with linux, or do just use windows? Never did wire trick myself, I've always done Unknownforce hboot downgrade. Which I can now do in about 15 min.
s-off not required, there's many way to bypass unlocked limitations.
Your main var is to high because htc never released a current ruu, so the ota pushed version higher but no ruu to match.

I am great with linux, but was under the assumption it needed to be burned to cd and that USB was not an option, please advise if not the case. I have read a ton and I remember reading about Unknownforce, but cant remember if thats the case or not.
Off topic: I learned from you that it has to be locked to go stock, but does it need to be unlocked to flash your rom or locked as well?
Unlocked for custom, locked for stock.
Here is unknownforce ultimate tool,
there was a live cd version made for windows users scared of linux.
I use tiny core linux for this, Ubuntu tries to mount all the partitions and you only have a 5 second window when they are writeable. I have used Ubuntu, at first, but preferred tinycore.
But first you are going to need to get stock.zip to install.

What I meant was, in your opinion, is the 4ext a better recovery than the unofficial TWRP?
During the install of Negalite at the point of -Setting Up Kernel Over-Clock Settings
under this it reads: assert failed: write_raw_image("/tmp/newboot.img","boot")
Is this a red flag of something not going right in any way?
After this I click Next>Recovery>Wipe Dalvik>Reboot and it boots into Fastboot. Whats happening at this point?
Since I am basically starting from scratch and the end goal is to have a kitkat rom and possibly S-OFF(if its a must to do so).
What all needs to be done as far as formatting, tweaks, or anything else to achieve the best performance, space, or anything you can think of?
Thats if you dont mind sharing. I appreciate your time and if I can be of service to you in any way, I will.
I am currently on the 4ext recovery with 1GB sd-ext 0 swap and formatted Ext4.
fastboot boot recovery.img
flashrom.zip from recovery
reboot, wipe dalvik, reboot
Negalite.zip installed with no errors whatsoever.
Thank You.
Beautiful smooth running rom btw.
Does all that above sound like I did the right things as for setting up and installing?
4ext is most stable, the unofficial has new features like f2fs and selinux, but 95% stable.
fastboot boot recovery.img is an old work around, also used to flash boot.img with fastboot. That is ok with roms that include a whole boot.img but roms like mine use a dynamic boot.img. Basically the installer makes the boot.img using your choices.
From what I know about Kitty kat I think you need to downgrade hboot or be s-off. Not sure I've stayed on ics for stability because I still use this phone. Also there is a new version of negalite on svn, just takes hours for me to upload a zip version.

[Q] BOOT LOOPS with Stock ICS HELP!

So I'm trying to put the latest stock Sprint ROM on my phone, but I want to keep all my ROOT and S-OFF. I read that you have to have certain HBOOTs for it to not bootloop. I found that info here:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1817513
and found the HBOOTS to flash from here:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=30014044&postcount=7&nocache=1&z=7862393853720278
I got the 2.89 stock ROMS from here:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1420206
and THOSE bootloop, both odexed and deodexed. HOWEVER... the 2.18 boots up but root isn't working in it. When I try to "su" from a terminal I get a segmentation fault.
PROBLEM:
I've tried a few different HBOOTS that should work with the 2.89 ROM, but it just keeps BOOTLOOPING
I even tried a few different recoveries, and also using the Synergy_3Dvo_Superwipe file.
It seems I am stuck.
I know these threads aren't very active anymore and I have an older phone but it's still my main phone and want to use it for a bit longer. Any help is greatly appreciated. Thanks!
Ok I literally just finished trying EVERY HBOOT I could find and they ALL result in bootlooping on the stock ICS. Here are the ones I tried:
PG86IMG_1.30-hboot.zip
PG86IMG_1.40-hboot.zip
PG86IMG_1.50-hboot.zip
PG86IMG_1.58-hboot_.zip

PG86IMG_JBear_1.58.5858_hboot_Sprint_ICS.zip
PG86IMG_Revolutionary_1.40.1100-hboot.zip
All downloadable from one of the thread links I posted above.
First off you need hboot 1.57 or up for stock ICS
Flash hboot 1.58 since it newest... Jbear 1.58.5858 should work fine too.
Once you verify you have the correct hboot, boot to recovery and wipe all partitions except your SD card..
Now reboot the phone to recovery...usually an option in the power menu of recovery
Wipe all partitions except SD again
Flash 2.89 ROM.zip
Reboot phone
If that doesn't work
Take the boot.IMG from the ROM.zip and flash through fast boot

Does wiping the partitions and then rebooting into recovery and doing it again do a better wipe? I don't think I've come across that tip before. However I ended up flashing a PG86IMG zip file of the stock ROM. I actually screwed myself a bit because I'm flashed to Boost Mobile and it messed up a bunch of stuff that I had to fix but it boots and now I got it working. I'm planning on ditching this phone as soon as I can find a new one that I like. Was looking at the Note 3 but it's hella monstrous and I am not a big fan of Super AMOLED displays, too much crayon effect color-wise for me, although I know most ppl love that. Thanks for your tip though. Wish I had tried it before but again my phone is working now.
When you change hboot it is wise to wipe and reboot recovery
I'm not sure on flashing to boost, but if you made a backup before you started messing around you may be able to go back easily after flashing your custom recovery...I assume you ran the ruu Pg86img which restores your factory recovery

I'll take it, if your willing to donate to keep development going, I'm having a string of phones failing because of hardware getting old, that Sprint stop warranting them for me.
