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?"
I have a SPRINT HTC Evo 4G LTE and while trying to install CM10. It stayed on the custom boot screen. I found out that I needed a Kernal but I tried to figure it out on my own and I believe I deleted my OS in the process. SPECS - In bootloader my devices says "Tampered, Unlocked, S-On, HBOOT 2.09, Radio 1.12.11.1210" Inside TWRP 2.5.0.0 if trying to reboot it says NO OS Installed, and then it ask to install SuperSU, that my device is not rooted. Oooh, P.S. I never made a backup either. Stupid I Know. All I want is my stock OS back if anything. I hear about RUU but I'm having trouble doing anything. Trying to flash a rom, reroot the phone, nothing works. <<<<<<<<PLEASE HELP>>>>>>>
P.S. I did manage to install bootloader without a problem and at the time installed SuperSU. I saw it as an app. I never clicked on it or anything tho. I just processed to then install CM10 which all went well until waiting for it to boot and it never got off the custom boot screen.
Oh how i loathe this POS phone
i have this as my work support phone. It wouldn't reliably stay powered up, any time I did turn it on it took 20+ minutes to acquire data/cell/3g signal. turning on maps crashed the phone. so i figured i'd install a new rom
I have lots of experience with sony ericsson, nexus 4, nexus 7 2012, 2013, acer 10.1 tab. i've done all this stuff before, but i cannot get cyanogen 10 or 11 to install properly, and now my phone sits with a spinning logo doing nothing
i:
unlocked the bootloader as per instructions at htc dev
setup ADB on the phone
first jsut copied the c11.zip to the sd card and tried to install that, same issue on with the HTC logo
used hansoon's kit to sideload c10. claims to have installd, now just spins the logo.
any help would be great.

You give a lot of info in your sig, but nothing there or in your post if you're s-off or on and which recovery you're using. Since, you're Canadian you probably need s-off to flash the latest T-Mobile ruu for the radio. And ext4 seems to be the most trouble-free recovery for the amaze. If s-on you can probably still get CM working if you were already on ICS and flash with smart flash enabled in 4ext. If you're still having issues then try pushing the kernel with adb from hboot wth your pc.
I hope this helps.

Thanks man. sig is a little out of date, i havent' needed xda as much since jumping to nexus. TWRP and i didn't do the s-off stuff. it says it needs a stock rom and i just havea spinning cyanogen mod. i will try install the 4ext and see if that changes the results.

If you want to flash back to the stock ICS image you need to first relock your bootloader. When you relock it will say relocked when in hboot. The procedure is to place the image in the root of your external SD card and select from hboot. It should recognize and flash back to stock, however everything other than your external SD gets wiped in the process. So you need to make sure you have a good recent backup. Also, you remember when you first HTC dev unlocked they sent you an image to push to unlock? Well, I hope you saved it, because you'll need it again to re-unlock the bootloader after flashing the firmware image, but before attaining s-off.
However, if you were already on your carrier's latest ICS firmware before you started flashing different ROMs, you probably already have their latest radio. If you install the latest 4ext and enable smart flash, you'll probably succeed in installing any of the source built ROMs (ASOP, CM, PACman, evervolv) without s-off, because ROMs built from the source don't have the CID flag in their binaries.
If you still decide to go back and attain s-off the procedure is as follows: 1) relock your bootloader 2) flash the latest stock firmware for the carrier that sold your device. 3) Unlock your bootloader again using the image and commands you previously did to HTC dev unlock the first time, 4) get s-off using the wire-trick 5) flash the hacked hboot (and another radio if you desire, but not required for most ROMs) 6) super CID to remove all carrier locked file / partition limitations and protections 7) Flash your preferred recovery. Because you're now s-off you can use TWRP, CWM, or 4ext since the protected partitions are no longer an issue. 8) Flash any ROM you want provided it's based on ICS or later (below won't work because the radio is incompatible).
Edit: One other thing to note before starting any of this make sure your battery is fully charged. Also, the first time you boot after installing CM or any ASOP based ROM it can take quite some time to go through the process before you get to the login screen. For me it usually takes a little under 10 mins. It may at first appear to be a little sluggish until the rom settles, usually about 10-15 mins.
I hope this helps
I need some help on my Verizon Thunderbolt. I did something dumb and need some help. Hopefully someone is able to direct me to the correct path.
I was trying to install a rooted and debloated rom for my device. I just want to use it as a clock.
So I ended up unlocking the bootloader and installed CWM touch.
I forgot to make a backup and wipe the entire device right away. I installed stock rooted rom, it shows black screen after the HTC screen. I just realized that I have forgotten to S-OFF.
Now I was trying to install RUU so I can boot the device up and S-OFF.
I tried googling for a few hours and I could not find stock firmware or RUU. All of them are dead link.
For some reason, I am unable to install stock rom when I booted into Fastboot and have the stock zip (P4IMG.zip <<< I forgot how to spell it). It checked everything but does not show up the menu to let me flash the stock firmware.
Now I have: Unlocked bootloader, S-On, CWM Touch installed.
I would like to know is it anyway flash a working rom (stock gb or any and not dead link) so that I am able to boot up and carry out S-Off.
Thanks,
Appreciate any feedback and replies.
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...
