hi
My evo 3D has hboot 0007, s-off, CID 001 and in boot loop with HTC logo. I relocked it and use PG86IMG.zip which was used before to flash in hboot and received all "Fail-PU". I only boot to bootloader and use fastboot command now. I tried to reflash recovery in fastboot mode but it also fail. If i boot the phone in recovery mode, the screen show nothing and it vibrate any time i touch to screen, nothing else. Please help me. Thank you very much
I do my own research, from HTC sensation and HTC touch 4G users, they got same problem. The cause of Fail-PU is because the eMMC chip has died and there is no way of fixing it

I could really do with some help on this - Kinda paniking cos i'm afraid!
I posted it in the thread on modaco too, so hopefully I can get some help
I am on a 16gb Wifi Euoropean Flyer that needs the RUU RUU_Flyer_HTC_WWE_Wifi_2.27.1114.31_Radio_20.3504.30.089BU_3809.07.04.06_M_release_204727_signed
I have downloaded all the necessary things, checked all the MD5 sums etc etc.
I have successfully gotten to step 14, where i successfully unlocked the bootloader with the HTC dev tools.
Once the gui option came on screen to say whether i wanted to unlock the bootloader, i selected yes, and instantly the device rebooted, but stayed on the white HTC logo screen.
It stayed like this for about 5 mins, before i held the power button down, restarted and got back to the bootloader. (It says unlocked at the top in pink)
I ran the adb command to flash the updated recovery image, (fastboot flash recovery revolutionary-cwm-4.0.1.4-flyer.hboot0011.img), and it said 'sending' okay and 'writing'okay but once i selected to go to recovery, the decive just stayed on the white splash screen, and i think it is in a bootloop.
I can successfully get back to the bootloader every time, and it is displayed as fastboot USB in red (i can hear the sound as it is connected to my machine), but when i type adb devices, it says device cannot be found.
I can however relock and then subsequently unlock the bootloader using the HTC dev tools, but still get stuck at this point. (when relocked it does say *security warning* as well as locked)
Please please please can somebody help, this would be much appreciated.
(I'm not sure if it is possible to place a recovery image on the SD card and let the bootloader install it as it does the checks at the start?)
Thanks in advance
You can't communicate via adb in fastboot menu
Get back to fastboot
Try to flash recovery again
Fastboot flash recovery "name of recovery file"
Fastboot and adb are two different things
If it fails again, delete the recovery image and redownload and try again

I tired again, i unlocked the bootloader using HTC dev tools, starting through the process instead of using the same email file.
I think the problem is with the HTC dev unlock, cos when i press yes, it gets stuck on the HTC splash screen. (Just out of interest, what should happen when i select yes to unlock on the flyer?)
Flashed the re-downloaded recovery in fastboot (md5 sums match again), this is what was returned:
sending 'recovery' (4746 KB)...
OKAY [ 0.755s]
writing 'recovery'...
OKAY [ 0.612s]
finished. total time: 1.367s
then selected 'bootloader' on the flyer, then 'recovery' and then it still get stucks on the white splash screen.
I double checked all the mb5 sums of all the files i have flashed in this process, and they are all good.
The flyer will not turn off, it just turns itself back on again and again. The only way to make it stay off is to lock the bootloader again
Any reccomendations?
Thanks
I am not sure why the recovery is not flashing
You may want to OEM lock and revert back to gingerbread

thanks, to do that, do i just run fastboot oem lock?
then run the RUU?
That should do it

Phew! That did it, back to GB for now. Thanks ever so much!
Do you recon it is worth my while to try again? I would like to try HC...
I mean you were able to recover so you got that going for you. I am not sure what was causing your problem though.
Yeah, but its a strange one isnt it?
I've just tried to S-OFF with revolutionary, and it reboots to the bootloader, and then stops, with the cmd window just saying, waiting for fastboot..... - it'll stay like this forever untill i turn the device off.
I remember i had this problem the first time i S-OFFed, but cant quite remembver how i fixed it - could this problem be somehow related to the HC install problem?
Maybe try another USB port or uninstall reinstall drivers
how long did you give the htc screen? it may take a lil while for recovery to start. id maybe give it as long as 5 minutes just to make 100% sure its really stuck.
if you wrote the recovery with the unlocked bootloader,im not sure why it wouldnt have worked,other than a bad imagea not compatible image,or possibly a simple fail to start. ive had this happen with TWRP recovery on other devices,and occasionally with clockwork-when booting to recovery it just sticks at the htc screen.
go for it again. assuming youre using all the correct,newest,and matching files,theres no reason it shouldnt work.
if you have the same trouble next time, while the on the white htc screen,when trying to get to recovery,try typing "adb devices" in your command window. if you get your serial number back, try "adb reboot recovery" and see if it starts that time.
the bootloop after unlocking the HC hboot is because that hboot and boot images are not compatible with the GB /system that is still currently on the phone. i was able to "adb reboot bootloader" during the bootloop rather than holding the power button to get back to fastboot so i could flash the recovery.
the *security warning* when you relocked it is becuase the hboot is confused about the firmware that doesnt match it.
hope that helps IMO its worth trying again- honeycomb makes the tablet alot nicer(for me anyway) than gingerbread.
Yeah I left it for at least 10 minutes, and no activity at all, other than the splash screen.
I might give it a go again, I'll report back as to how it goes!

Hi, My rogers Evo 3D (S-ON, unlocked bootloader, Hboot 1.49.0008) is getting bootloops and when I enter fastboot I can flash a recovery image and it says it succeeded yet when I enter recovery it just goes back to the HTC bootloop. I have tried flashing the stock rom by putting PG86IMG.zip on my SD and it installs 'successfully', but when I reboot it goes to the bootloop again... Any help would be appreciated
Sorry, it seems the last person to own this phone had taken it apart to try and fix it (the problem was a faulty battery, so I got it cheep ) but when re-assembling it they forgot to put one of the cables to the screen back, so the phone must have been searching for hardware that wasn't there, resulting in an error, and causing a re-boot. All fixed now
so i received two htc eris' from a buddy of mine yesterday so my girlfriend could finally make the move up to a smart phone. neither were ever rooted and were running stock software. one of them works perfect but the other was stuck in an infinite boot cycle so i tried to hard reset it but it gets stuck at the screen with the red triangle and exclamation point.
so i figure maybe ill just try rooting it or at least getting the stock software back on it. im new to rooting but even if i mess up and brick the phone its a brocken spare so who cares. well i got to the point that i try to put it into fastboot usb mode to push a new recovery image to it but it wouldnt load into fastboot usb, the screen just had the red fastboot showing. so i try the working eris and it loads it up no problem. i also tried my htc hero and it didnt have a problem either.
so whats going on with this phone? any ideas why only it cant be loaded into fastboot usb?

You can only push a new Recovery image using Fastboot if the Eris has the S-OFF bootloader (HBOOT version 1.47.2000 S-OFF). Most Erises are HBOOT 1.46.0000, 1.47.0000, or 1.49.0000 with S-ON.
One method is to install HTC's latest 1.51.0000 bootloader, unlock it, which should allow fastboot to push the recovery image. See http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=23034380&postcount=3 for a more elaborate procedure that you can follow if pushing the recovery image still doesn't work.
I strongly recommend using Scary Alien's version of Amon_RA. Stay away from ClockworkMod Recovery as the default recovery on an Eris - it is problematic if flashes fail. Amon_RA is safer and there are no documented bricked phones from people with Amon_RA. See http://androidforums.com/eris-all-t...2-custom-recovery-trackball-not-required.html
Dear XDA users,
I have tried to find an answer to my issue but there seems to be lack of info on that particular situation in the forums.
So here it is - several days ago while unlocking the phone to take a picture the phone froze and all I was able to do was to wake the screem with the power button. After a few seconds it rebooted by itself and since then it is stuck in an infinite boot loop - it does show HTC logo, then it goes blank and reboot and show the logo repeating that process on and on.
I have tried to use the recovery and factory reset options from HBOOT menu, but this leads to the infinite boot again.
Please help with any suggestions, I'd be happy to have my phone back, and even happier if I have it restored with all my contacts and stuff in place.
If you can get into recovery flash yourROM again. If your contacts are synchronized, you'll get them back, if not-tough luck

Well when I select recovery it doesn't load recovery console, instead it just reboots in the infinite boot loop.

I tried doing that but always get an error 155 and the screen shows
RUU
Security fail!
Update Fail!
I have tried several RUUs for Europe, but every time I get the same error...
Any ideas how to proceed ?

If s-on the bootloader needs to be locked to run the ruu. (fastboot oem lock)
Try that first and see if you still have any problems.
Hi all,
This is my sons phone which he doesn't use as phone - just for games.
Last night he dropped it and it froze, after removing battery it started powering and boot-looping on white htc logo screen.
I powered it with vol down and went on boot-loader and I thought I just restore it via recovery to a state I made him few months back, but failed to go to recovery, again on white screen loop.
I tried installing shipped ruu and after few fails I did it, but again restarts on white screen.
I can connect it to pc and all, running fastboot commands usualy comes with "remote not allowed"
I was sure that I did unlock bootloader for this phone but it says locked, so I am not sure ( having 4 htc phones in same house hard to know what I did to which )
This phone prior to drop had:
4EXT_Recovery_Touch_v1.0.0.5_RC7
S-OFF
not sure on unlocked bootloader
and
Cool-ICS-v17-EvoC
any ideas appreciated
Thank you
PS
I tried to go to htc page and unlock boot-loader, but numbers i paste are not recognized ( I did this many times so its not my error in copy paste)
I guess I cant edit my post.
I managed to unlock bootloader
I installed "Cool-ICS-v17-EvoC" rom via sd card as PG86IMG.zip as I can't load into recovery
and it reboots on white htc logo again
help
Wow... If the issue occurred after a drop, I'd worry it's a hardware issue.
As far as not being able to access recovery, either go into the power settings and uncheck fastboot, or do a battery pull and then access the bootloader with volume down +power and then select recovery.

I can get to bootloader and try to switch to recovery, but phone never gets there as it has to reboot into it and once it gets to white screen it loops.
I thought rom got corrupted and tried to restore it, but you are right, it might be a hardware.
I found a motherboard for $18 on ebay but I am not sure will it fix the issue.

Apologies, I went and re-read the op and now I see that.
I think you are having trouble with the fastboot commands because of the locked bootloader like you said. You could also use the juopunutbear patched hboot since you are s-off, it will give you access to the extra fastboot commands regardless of locked/unlocked state. It can be flashed as a PG86IMG.zip via the bootloader.
If you use the patched hboot you could attempt to boot recovery into memory by using fastboot boot recovery.img
Because you are s-off, you can also flash a recovery via the bootloader as a PG86IMG.zip. If you want to try, here is 4ext recovery:
https://www.dropbox.com/s/t6q8wi58xzidgan/4ext_1.0.0.5.rc9_PG86IMG.zip
Obviously just Rename the file and remove everything prior to PG86IMG.zip.
I have a feeling though that since you successfully ran the ruu and it still won't boot, that no amount of software changes will fix the issue. I'm not sure if the motherboard will fix the issue or not buy that's a pretty cheap fix to try
Thanks for help and advice man,
I bought him a working used evo 3d from ebay, it was under $30 so I'll keep this one for parts I guess.
Thanks again
