Ok, so I've trying to get my phone back in working condition (see this thread for details: http://forum.xda-developers.com/one...k-recovery-t3163848/post62009104#post62009104). It looks like I will have to flash an RUU but I'm worried about bricking my phone since it is S-On. What is the best way to do this?
Update: I downloaded the RUU, renamed it to 0PJAIMG, put in on an external sd card, and went into download mode but nothing is happening. Bottom of the screen says "Security checking failed NOT_FIND_SMART IO, SD NOT MOUNTED".
If you're S-ON, you should be able to lock your bootloader and run the RUU from a computer.

Sounds promising. Would these commands do that?
fastboot oem rebootRUU
fastboot flash zip your_zip_name.zip (the name of the stock ROM zip I downloaded downloaded)
fastboot reboot
Is there anything else I should be aware of before I launch those commands?

1st of all, do you have the Sprint M9? the thread u mentioned is the INTL M9, this thread is Sprint M9..
*edit* I see u said in that thread u have sprint...
which specific RUU are u trying to flash? if it is a exe RUU, you need to connect M9 to pc & run exe from pc
*edit* if u have a pc, use this RUU http://dl3.htc.com/application/RUU_...IMA_SPCS_1.11_003_release_437681_signed_2.exe
if u don't have a pc, use this RUU, https://www.androidfilehost.com/?fid=24052804347768322
Rename to 0PJAIMG.zip, copy to sd card, boot into download mode, it should scan card & prompt to install
my advice, stay out of the International M9 forums...just gonna get your phone hosed up!

I was trying to flash the 1.32.651.30 since that's the current version on my phone. The version you posted for pc looks like its for 2.6.651.11. Is that okay to use, no risk of bricking?
Update: I tried the executable and it worked! Phone is back up and running with the latest version. THANK YOU!
I have another question though. I have a twrp backup from before my phone went stupid. Is it possible to recovery my app data or anything from that?

You can use Titanium Backup and selectively restore App Data (for specific apps) from a full nandroid TWRP backup. I've been doing this a while and it works great. It's slow, but it works perfect.
I just restore a few select app data that are tedious or complex to setup, I do this after Google restores all the apps (which are fresh installs from the play store).
What's nice about this method is one backup serves both purposes. A full image backup I can restore from, or for upgrades that I want to start fresh and only restore data from a few non system apps.

Maybe I'm just terrible at searching, but I've looked on this site, Google, and some other Android site, but haven't found an answer that works. Basically I regret rooting my phone... but that isn't the whole issue...
So I rooted yesterday. I have an HTC Evo 3d GSM HBOOT 1.49.0008 (berfore my root). I got ROM Manager and made a backup of my rom giving it a custom name. From here I went and downloaded High ROM 3D v1.1.
I decided I didn't like that rom so I tryed to restore my backup rom... md5 mismatch... or some crap like that. I tried this:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=976453
I kept getting "invalid command" or some crap like that...
All I want right now is to somehow go back to my factory settings un-rooted... Is this possible, or am I screwed?
Hopefully I'm not making a duplicate thread... If I am I'm sorry, I honestly did search for a good couple hours.
Thanks for any help!

Search isn't everyone's friend, its not mine. You need to run an ruu.exe, I don't know where to find a gsm one, I'm cdma. But I've gone back to stock a few times, just relock the device and run the ruu from unlit and you should be good.
@jwolf1: That says CDMA. MY Evo 3d is GSM.

If that ruu is a .exe file then you need to go to hboot, relock, run ruu.exe from the computer while still in hboot. If its a .zip then you'll have to extract the images and flash them one at a time from fastboot.
Okay! Sweet! Once I can actually download the file I'll do that!
Once I finish installing the file will I still be rooted?
Will it be safe to do a factory reset at that time?
I just wanna start from a clean slate.
Somewhat of an off topic question... but... Is it safe to delete EVERYTHING off my SD card? Because I know that there is alot of junk that has been left over from random apps haha!

No you won't be rooted after an ruu.
Yes, its safe to factory reset, but the ruu will do that for you.
Yes, its safe to wipe the sd, just do it before you run the ruu.
are you downloading the file phone or a desktop
Alright! Why do I need to wipe the SD before I run the RUU?

You could do it after the ruu but it'll erase android secure folder and a couple of others that the ruu puts on there. It'll just have to rebuild those folders when you reboot.

It was doing that to me the other night, I tried the download from my phone and it worked.
I managed to get a slot!
The file I'm downloading is an .exe.
Will I need to have USB debugging enabled, and fastboot disabled to do this? I'll also need to have disk mode enabled correct?
I read something about a PG86IMG.zip file. Will I need that too?

I believe you need USB debugging to do adb commands. Turn it on just in case. You're getting the .exe so just hold volume down and power with the phone off, select fastboot, plug in USB to phone and comp, type fastboot OEM lock, it should reboot you back to hboot and it'll say relocked with a security warning under the word relocked, don't reboot. Now just start the ruu.exe in windows and follow the prompts. That's it.
Edit.... Just re read the op and noticed your hboot version. I guess you used revolutionary and not htcdev. I'm not sure about how to s-on, so the fastboot OEM lock probably won't work. Maybe someone that knows about that will chime in.
Ok to start off i unlocked,rooted,flashed cwm with hansoons tool kit everything went perfect! Was having problems flashing roms because i am s -on. I had a nandroid tho so i just restored it and everything worked fine again. Last night i flashed a rom and after flashing was sent to hboot. Now my phone is stuck either on a black screen. At first i couldnt get in recovery thru hboot but after i removed my ext sd it would let me choose to enter recovery. So i went to restore my nandroid and md5 mismatched.. Im at a loss.. I tried to get help somewhere else but havent got a reply and i need my phone for work tomorrow! If anyone can help id appreciate. Im not a noob just kinda a noob to htc and this s-on/s-off stuff.
First I would install Amon Ra recovery, then I would just flash a new ROM that does the boot.img thing by itself like Clean ROM.

What ROM did you try flashing?
If you have a computer nearby. You have CWM still installed? Make a new md5 file of the nandroid
or
reflash a rom that you do have on your phone
or
flash a kernel and hope it boots like joels
or
if all else fails. I would say download latest RUU and flash it in HBOOT. That is the last thing you would want to do.

Well you will need to download the full RUU. http://www.androidpolice.com/2012/0...ull-ruu-build-4-03-605-2-for-the-htc-rezound/ and place the file on your sdcard as PH98IMG.zip and when you boot into HBOOT it will ask you to update. Just press yes.

I've been trying to root my EVO 4G LTE using various guides from this board, and I'm not having a lot of luck. I have HBOOT 2.09 and it's S-ON. It seems like the easiest way to root the device is to go S-OFF, but then it appears that the device needs to be rooted to get S-OFF. So I'm a little confused at this point. I've unlocked the bootloader and installed TWRP, but when I try to install the SuperSU root utility it gives me an error about mounting partitions and fails. My bootloader screen also displays "TAMPERED" which seems to be a problem but I'm not having a lot of luck finding a way to resolve it.
So... can anyone tell me what my next step is?
Thanks in advance.
Are you using Facepalm, Moonshine, or DirtyRacun? You haven't really provided enough details to help, at this point. What's your software version? I assume you're running the stock ROM?
I was running the stock ROM, I think it was 3.16. I tried using Facepalm but again it seems like it needs root to work which I haven't been able to achieve just yet. I tried installing the ROM from this thread through TWRP but it just hangs on the HTC screen so I'm not sure what's on there now. I can still get into the bootloader and recovery though.
You can't use Facepalm on 3.16 software. Use Moonshine.
Try flashing this stock rooted to get back to a working state: http://d-h.st/users/Captain_Throwback/?fld_id=10308#files
You may need to fastboot flash the boot.img to make sure it fully boots.
OK, I downloaded that ROM and extracted the boot.img. I booted the phone into the bootloader and ran "fastboot flash boot boot.img". It seems to have completed correctly, no errors at least, but now the phone just sits at the HTC screen with the red text at the bottom. Clearly I'm doing something wrong...
Did you flash the ROM too? Or did it reboot on you when you tried?
I just did the boot.img. Should I also do "fastboot flash zip 3.16.651.3_stock_rooted_odex_CPTB.zip"?

You have to flash the ROM in recovery.
Ok, so I went into recovery which is still TWRP, adb pushed that ROM to the phone then tried to install it. It gives a bunch of error messages about being unable to mount various items, says it's unable to find path for partition [name of the zip] and fails.
Thanks for your help and patience so far...
You do not extract the file, leave it as a zip and do not open it. Move it to your SD card while in fastboot (mount sd) and from there use twrp and select the correct zip to flash. But above all... DO NOT EXTRACT THE FILR

I don't understand what you're doing here. Boot to recovery, mount storage, copy the ROM zip over, and then flash it.
Ok, so I mounted storage from recovery, or least I tried to, my PC said it needed to be formatted. So I did so, copied the file over and flashed it which completed successfully this time. My phone now boots properly, I'll give Moonshine a try now. Hopefully I won't need to bug you again, thanks for all the help.

I'm having a little trouble with Moonshine. It reboots the phone a couple of times, gets to step 3 then just keeps printing periods in the program window. I've been reading through the Moonshine thread and it seems other people have had the same problem, but I haven't seen a solid fix yet. Anyone know what I need to do or should I stick with the Moonshine thread?
I was prepping for the KitKat build and decided to make sure I was on the most current firmware. I made a CM backup and then flashed flyhalf's global update from here, I renamed to PH98IMG.zip and booted to bootloader. Everything patched successfully, but after rebooting it's been stuck on the white HTC screen for >1 hour now. Should I be doing a factory reset from bootloader, or is there another way to save this?

I'm not sure if it was this update or not, but there was on that they were saying you had to run the update twice in a row. May or may not help, but it wouldn't hurt to try.

Ah, I searched and found these steps.

You have to
1. lock if your s-on
2. fastboot oem rebootRUU
3. fastboot flash zip firmware.zip
4. Might have to run it twice
5. reboot bootloader

I didn't do any of the fastboot/CMD stuff. I'll try it again, but I'm inclined to think I screwed things up. Since there's a PH98IMG.zip on the card, I can't get into fastboot at the moment. I need to look for my external card reader if I still have it.
Thank you though.
Was able to delete the PH98IMG.zip with an external card reader and proceed from there.
Restored, no data. Tried another ROM, no data. Tried a 3rd ROM, no data connection whatsoever.
Trying to get into Linux and install the firmware properly at the moment, as I can't get fastboot or adb to work on Windows 8.1.
Update: ABD/fastboot failed on Linux too.
FINAL EDIT: I flashed the RUU in a last desperate attempt to get data back, after ADB/Fastboot didn't work on Linux or Windows. The RUU fixed data and I was able to move to another ROM.

Do you mean like dialing *228 to reactivate service? I didn't need to, it worked fine. Once I was able to boot to the RUU I received a couple of texts and a voicemail from earlier Sunday.

no once you do an ruu which is an exe file or the ota update which is a ph98img.zip file you will be prompted with a welcome screen where you'll hit next a number of times....on one of those screens it will register and activate your verizon service to not only have the phone read that its active with your carrier properly but enable your data as well
I'm currently using a Macbook Pro and NOT Windows PC. I rooted my Rezound March 2012 with PC at time. Well awhile back I had accidentally deleted some system files from stock gingerbread 2.3.4 ROM. Now i'm not able to update my device to ICS to make use of the global capabilities. I installed Scotts ROM 2.3.4 a copy of it but it never recovered the system files that were missing. I would like to be able to S-Off (couldn't perform wire trick) and flash either CM 10.2 (Jelly Bean 4.3) or CM 11.0 (kitkat 4.4). I've read without being on stock baseband radio (ICS) I'm not able to perform a flash to new ROM. Anyone have any suggestions to proceed further? Thanks!
Well first of all you can use rum runner from the general section to soff with out wire trick. You say that the gingerbread boot loader doesn't support fastboot?

ah i see your point well forgot about the mac thing but pc's shouldnt be too scarce maybe use a friend's? cause rumrunner is amazing. and can you not just flash the latest recovery via fastboot and then flash the 4.0.3 stock and then fastboot flash the boot.img then do a system update through settings then root it then install the latest recovery again and then install your rom of your choice and gapps then fastboot flash the boot.img?

That's exactly what I was telling pball52998 I had planned on doing. Except with mac it's difficult and without being able to get to ICS with the radio capabilities I can not go that route. I need to obtain stock gingerbread containing ALL system files including the system OTA update file I originally deleted. When i had to re-do my phone over a year ago and re-flash gingerbread because my device was messed up I was NOT able to access files that I had deleted in system. I was supposed to freeze them not uninstall originally. Unless there's an ICS unoffical ROM with all working radios and global capabilities then I'm forever stuck on Stock gingerbread. Do you understand? And using another persons PC is a no go because i have to install software ADB on their computer and I'm 100% sure they would not be ok with it at all. It's getting late here now. so goodnight to you. :good:

ADB doesn't need to be installed, you can just drop the files into a temp folder, run what you need and delete them.
As for getting your phone up to ICS, this will wipe your phone (including the Internal SD, back up anything you want off to your computer), upgrade your phone to ICS and the hboot to 2.27 which is sufficient for installing JB/KK roms.
As long as your hboot is 2.27 or older and your bootloader is locked, it should work fine, follow the directions on the page. If none of the mirrors work, Raventech has it posted in a thread here also.

Great thank you very much. Now I have two importnant questions in regards to this build. First off can I do this off Mac? Secondly how do I re-lock bootloader? It was unlocked on HTC dev website when I bought it March 2012.
Bricked Rezound?

I relocked the bootloader and had put the renamed PH98IMG.zip (mirror 1) file on my internal sd card. It says in Hboot image not found and will not let me boot into recovery or do a factory reset. I'm stuck! Now what do I do to proceed further?

It needs to be on your external SD then boot into your bootloader.

That's great....Well now I have to wait till after the weekend to do that when my micro sd card reader arrives in the mail. Originally i was installing it on the ext until i thought it was supposed to be on the internal sd. I have no access to the sd cards on my phone right now and cant boot past the ecover screen. Thanks for the help!

The fact you can't get to your hboot is a bigger issue. What hboot did you have installed when you locked it?

You'd need to boot into hboot to get it's version. So pulling the battery then powering on while holding volume down gets you that hboot missing error?

It automatically goes into Hboot and does not recognize any PM98IMG file. To mention the zip extention is not needed. And I put it on the internal sd therefore it can not be read properly by the device. I'll try to take a video of what i'm talking about with my ipod touch. Hold on.

Ahh, I thought you meant you couldn't get into hboot before. Can you run any adb from your mac at all? Might be able to push the file to your SD card that way.
