i started i started running mik runny yesterday. I dont know if it was somethign with the rom but. I just updated my prl on dfs and once i went to reboot it wont go past the white htc screen and just keeps bootlooping. I cannot figure it out. Ive wiped everything muiltiple times. my nanadroids do the same thing. New roms too. I even did a factory reset. i dont get it My recovery and fastboot still work though. any other suggestions?
Flashed a new recovery img. i was using twrp2.0 i flashed twrp 1.3 to see if i had any luck with that but no dice. Im downloading the latest RUU now and hopefully that will fix it. Im guessing if it doesnt then something happened to my phone. If im not mistaken flashing the PG86IMG will flash allthe partitions so there would be no reason for it to not work unless of course something happened to the hardware?
Btw Hboot 1.4 and running mikrunny when the bootloop started. Im super confused since it booted fine for me numerous times. The only thing i changed before this reboot was prl and i turned fastboot off earlier. one other thing im downloading RUU_Shooter_S_Sprint_WWE_2.17.651.5 radio 1.00.1216 this isnt going to affect my hboot once flashing right? even if i have to re root thats fine i just dont wanna get stuck in 1.5 prison

TWRP 2.0 has been giving dirty flashes. I had nothing but bad things with it along with other folks. I jumped back to CWM as recovery it has been stable and flashes smooth no dirty flashes.

well im kinda stuck now. I tried to run the ruu for my hboot version and on step 11 system it failed to unzip. so now i have s off still but no recovery. Im gonna try to put cwm back on my sd and hope that it flashes and see if i can get some rom to flash. I cant figure this out i feel like a newb again. fml. Does it matter that it wasnt the first time i booted into the rom for it to be a bad flash like that?
well i think im officially bricked. I ran an older ruu and it failed to unzip system so after much searching i decided to run one of the latest pg86imgs it fully updated succesfully but still bootloops at the htc screen. So now i have a locked hboot 1.5 with s-off. I gotta get some sleep and see what i can do tommorow. from evreything i have read they say im not bricked if im able to do what i have. but i dont understand why nothing will work.

Sup man your not bricked don't worry or even soft bricked lol.
You should of waited on that updated zip reason it's boot loopin or lockin up is due to the phone never got wiped before the update....
Here is the CWM that will work for you. You need to put the img in your platform tools for ADB. Rename the img file to cwm then plug your phone in while in hboot. Type fastboot flash recovery cwm.img this will put the recovery back on your phone man.
In CWM you can mount your phone and copy a rom you downloaded off xda. Take the rom you downloaded open it up on your computer make a copy of the boot.img place that in your platform tools folder. Now mount your phone using CWM copy the romwhich will put it on your sd card. Now wipe everything. Then while in ADB type : adb reboot bootloader this will take you to hboot again now type fastboot flash boot boot.img this will flash the kernel for you. Now go back into recovery and flash your rom.
You should be good to go man. Let me know if you have any questions.
This should get your phone working...
The good thing about the 3vo is dat its unbrickable just always keep a Rom u ones work an always erase scrub thing / factory reset cutting shortcuts don't work in rooting/dev world

Ok so now that i ran that ruu that changed my hboot to 1.5 is that gonna affect how the cwm installs?even though it says s-off. Also for some reason im having trouble running any commands for fastboot. Ive followed a bunch of guides made sure the envinronemtal variables were correct ect, ect but none of the adb commands will work. Maybe its my pc idk.
Since i cant get fastboot to work on my pc do you think i would just be able to reinstall clockworkmod by renaming it on my sd like you do to root in the first place. Then use it to wipe and then try reflashing?
U might have to re unlock it if ur 3vo says locked at the top if not u should have no problem

I was able to re run the pg86img with the 1.4 hboot now im back on hboot 1.4 still with soff and doesnt say locked anymore. I also was able to install recovery again but i used twrp 1.3 since none of the download links i could find were good and the ones that were good were disk img. I tried running virus superwipe tool and reflashing a rom again to see if anyhtign changed but it didnt. i really just wish i could get the commands to work to use fastboot and adb.
One thing i just noticed in recovery i went into mounts and system and data were unmounted and cache and sdcard were mounted. Do i need to mount everything and try again or was that the way it should of been?

I read about the 1.5 with s-off issue a while back when hboot 1.5 first was released. As long as you have s-off, it doesn't really matter what hboot you have. You'll be able to flash entire ROMs (kernel included) in one step just like you could before your issue arose, because you have s-off. I sadly don't have enough experience with fastboot to be able to give you an easy guide to flashing cwm onto your phone though, but I hope this helps you at least somewhat.
EDIT: I just realized everything I said now doesn't matter since you're not on hboot 1.5 anymore...sorry about that. reaper24 gave you a link to cwm 4.0.1.4 in post #8 in this thread. Stop using TWRP 1.3, there's already a TWRP 2 specifically for EVO 3D and even the latest TWRP has been having issues. CWM has been completely stable for me on every HTC phone I've ever used (Hero CDMA, EVO 4G and now currently the EVO 3D). CWM 4.0.1.4 is in post #8 of this thread as an attachment (it's a small link in between reaper's post and his signature)

However i did get qtadb to work on one of them im able to run all the same commands from the shell on it correct? nevermind on this i dont think this is made for that i may be wrong though.
If so i can flash recovery img then flash new rom boot img ect. .. i was told i have to do via pc in order to flash the boot partition cause thats whats causing my problem.
I have all the paths specified on my pc and everythign i need in my tools folder but cant cd to anyhting. i have read and read and read im pretty sure i have it all setup right but everytime i cd it says path not specified or not a batch file or soemthing.

i know right. I think what it might be is something i saw earlier about since i flashed the PG86IMG and it took revolutionary off my hboot that i no longer have fastboot. I tried to run some other commands and got the same thing. So for the hell of it i tried to run revolutionary from hbootand fastboot and it just waits for device. But then when i reboot the phone it will recognize it, but it doesnt stay long enough to run revolutionary.No i just have to remember which pg86img it was that made my phone just stay at the white screen so i can run revolutionary. lol
Hi guys I'm fairly new here and was hoping you guys could help me out.
so i got my amaze a couple months ago from this guy and he told me had rooted the phone but then he unrooted it.
So fastforward to today and i'm trying to update my phone to the new android 4.0 . it downloads the update but then when it shuts off to start installing the update a triangle pops up with an exclamation mark.
it wouldn't go away so i took the battery out to restart it, which it did.
How do i go about fixing this . Any advice would be greatly appreciated.
and this was on my bootloader screen if it helps any
Unlocked

To receive ota's you must have a locked bootloader. Yours is unlocked.
Download hasoon all in one tool. Install the HTC drivers and then relock the bootloader.. Then you'll be all set to install them update

I'm back to being unlocked. How do i go about restoring to stock recovery??
Just download one of the stock ruu files, place it on your sd card rename it PH85IMG.zip and reboot into HBoot mode, it should restore your phone to complete stock.
What radio is on the new OTA update? Can someone who has done the update, post?

I have the same problem. I get a Main ver is old error when attempting to load the stock ruu, PH85IMG_Ruby_TMOUS_1.36.531.6_Radio_1.07.550L.04DC_30.64.550L.07_release_219373_signed.zip .
There is no way to get it back to stock with HBOOT on the ICS RUU you cannot go back, I got screwed over too. Unless you got S-Off before you went to ICS, that's the only way you can go back to stock. I think, that's what someone else told me, so give it a try but otherwise I think you are screwed, but I don't really know what I'm talking about. Can anyone confirm this?

Ok, I flashed via HBOOT the same version that was on the phone, PH85IMG_Ruby_TMOUS_1.43.531.3_Radio_1.08.550L.19DC_30.66.550L.08D_release_228638_signed.zip , and it seems to have accepted it, and going through the updates now.
Now, I will boot into stock, and attempt the new OTA ICS upgrade.
Will a restore work via CWM, that I took from the stock GB ROM above?
OTA ICS Upgrade = Success
I was going to pull the file off of the phone, but I started the upgrade and forgot. I could not locate it afterwards.
How did you flash via Hboot? Did you rename the file before you put it on your SD Card? Also do you have stock recovery?
finally got it
1. Make sure USB Debugging is enabled. Go to Settings -> Applications -> Development -> USB Debugging.
2. Download my tool and run it. If your bootloader is unlocked (most likely it is), on my tool, press "Boot into Bootloader". After you are in bootloader, run the "Relock Bootloader" command
3. Put the Stock T-Mobile 1.43 ROM on to your SD Card. Make sure it in the root folder. Rename the file to PH85IMG. Run the command on my tool to "Boot into Bootloader" It should scan for the ROM. If it doesn't (It may be in Fastboot mode, that's why) press the power button so it switches from Fastboot into HBOOT mode.
4. It will detect it and press the Volume Up button. It will flash the Stock ROM.

Unlock your amaze again. Follow the hasoon steps and you'll be able to unlock it.
once you unlock it download this file
http://d-h.st/OIC
once that is done rename it to "PH85IMG" and then put it into your sdcard
then follow these steps
"Run the command on the hasoon tool to "Boot into Bootloader" It should scan for the ROM. If it doesn't (It may be in Fastboot mode, that's why) press the power button so it switches from Fastboot into HBOOT mode.
4. It will detect it and press the Volume Up button. It will flash the Stock ROM."
once it's done flashing you'll be on stock and then you can update the phone to ICS.

I have been screwing with my phone for over 4 days straight and I CANNOT figure anything out....Im so frustrated!!! I flashed a ROM and now I am in continuous bootloop mode. My clockwork mod is completely broke down, I can't backup my nand because it is on Amon recovery. but i can't figure out how to reinstall Amon through bootloader....since, when i restart my phone. i only get about 5 seconds to try and do anything before it bootloops.....PLEASE someone help me step by step. I need someone to comment back and stay posted on this thread for me....please I am on my last leg, I just want my phone to be rooted, a good recovery installed and thats all I'm asking for.....But the problem is, I have to do everything through bootloader because of the bootloop.....I want to get clockwork mod off my phone and reinstall Amon recovery.
Run the ruu of your choice and then while in fast boot do:
Fastboot flash recovery nameoffile.img

no you run the ruu first and what you flash in fastboot is the recovery
flashing a recovery:
Code:
fastboot flash recovery file.img
then flash a rom
i honestly can link you to a list of ruus because there not all in one place :/
also once the file is installed onto my PC, I have to extract that file to c:\android where I have fastboot located in correct???

If it's an exe file just plug your phone in and run it but if it's a zip file rename it to "PH98IMG.zip" and put it on your external sd card then reboot to bootloader.

Well technically we misuse the term ruu, since it's actually a exe you run on your computer.
What people usually mean by ruu is a zip that has official, stock HTC everything.
Rom, recovery, hboot, radio etc
Rename file to PH98IMG and put in the root of your sd, then flash it in bootloader.

Before you flash, you should know that if the RUU file you are using is not a rooted one, you may loose root by flashing it to your phone.There are rooted RUUs on XDA and I hope you are using one of them.
Now if you have downloaded the RUU file to your computer
1.Rename it as PH98IMG and put it on your SD card.
2. power off your phone (preferably by removing the battery and putting it back).
3. restart your phone by holding down volume down and the power button. Your phone will reboot to bootloader. The bootloader should automatically load the file you rename PH98IMG and ask you if you want to install the update.
4. Press volume up for YES. Bootloader will install the file. Follow the instructions to finish.

You probably want the 3.14.605.12 ruu if you haven't updated to global firmware.

Before you flash, you should know that if the RUU file you are using is not a rooted one, you may loose root by flashing it to your phone.There are rooted RUUs on XDA and I hope you are using one of them.
Now if you have downloaded the RUU file to your computer
1.Rename it as PH98IMG and put it on your SD card.
2. power off your phone (preferably by removing the battery and putting it back).
3. restart your phone by holding down volume down and the power button. Your phone will reboot to bootloader. The bootloader should automatically load the file you rename PH98IMG and ask you if you want to install the update.
4. Press volume up for YES. Bootloader will install the file. Follow the instructions to finish.

Did you see a a vertical bar working on the top right of your phone? If the PH98IMG loads correctly, there should be a message in red at the bottom asking if you want to start the update.

So when you fastboot flash recovery recovery.img that appeared to work? If so did you try fastboot erase recovery first?

Well the top line in your bootloader should say something along the line of Unlocked or Tampered if it doesn't then you need to use HTC Unlock tool and unlock your bootloader again. If its locked you can't do anything. Check that out.
Edit:
It should look something like the attached image.

It says unlocked
Have you checked to make sure the proper driver is installed? Are you using windows?
So I'm very new to this and so far I have my bootloader unlocked and my device is rooted. However when I tried to load any roms I get stuck with and HTC white screen once I restart after installing the room. I'm always able to restore my backup using CWM but now I'm stuck and not sure what I'm doing incorrectly. I read somewhere that my HBoot probably needs to be updated but I can't find anything that explains how to do that.
When I go into my bootloader what is see is below. I'm so stuck, I'm not sure what I'm missing or what I should be doing. I'm very new to this and have tried reading a lot of stuff, but I just can't seem to get it. So the more step by step info you can give to me the better. Thanks in advance for you help.

You're probably not flashing the boot.img since you are S-ON. To flash a ROM, you need adb set up.
Download the ROM you want, and open it with an unzip program like WinRAR. In your adb setup, navigate to the platform-tools folder and drag and drop the boot.img there. Once that's done, delete it from the ROM's .zip. Drop the modified .zip onto your internal storage or SD card and flash it through recovery. Make sure you factory reset and wipe cache first. Once it's flashed, reboot to the bootloader.
Now, right-click while holding the Shift key in the platform-tools folder and open a command window. Select BOOTLOADER on the phone so it says "FASTBOOT USB". Type in the command window "fastboot flash boot boot.img" and wait for it to say OKAY. Now type "fastboot reboot" and you should be headed into the ROM from there for initial setup!
If you're using Plain-Andy or another recent KitKat ROM, I recommend you use PhilZTouch Recovery instead which is like an advanced ClockworkMod.
Your on old radios..... After you get a ROM running by as stated before, open the zip, place the boot.img on the root of your platform-tools folder on your computer, and initiating the command while in fastboot on your phone:
fastboot flash boot boot.img
I would suggest going s-off, very easy now via rum-runner, after running rum-rummer then run a RUU.... Refer to rav3nt3ch guide on downgrading going up to newest radios, it will take you completely back to stock locked and stock recovery. But after running the RUU unlock, flash recovery, and flash ROM again. The newest hboot is 2.28.000 and newest radio is 2.23.10.0123/2.23.10.0124r
But only use a RUU after going s-off. I would HIGHLY HIGHLY HIGHLY suggest it.... Or wait I think you can update radios via a ph98IMG.zip but I'm not sure.... I think you can... But that also requires s-off.... So..... pm me if that made no sense and I will provide any help you need.... Or just explain going s-off and RUU and such with help in finding things....

thanks
Thank you so much this worked. I am using Liquid-JB-v2.37-OFFICIAL-vigor. Phone is up and running, just gotta get used to it...it feels like a new phone already. Anything else you think I should do now?

That's up to you. Why not try apps like Xposed Framework or get a great music experience with ViPER4Android?
Next steps?
I got the the liquid smooth rom installed as per the directions given by kcipopnevets above...Should I go ahead and do what you suggested to update radios and the going s-off? I really appreciate everyone's help.

I would strongly suggest going S-OFF, just use rumrunner but make sure you backup first... I can't stress this enough, make a complete nandroid backup with TWRP or CWM before you start, it is common in the S-OFF process with rumrunner to wipe the device (at least partially so it won't boot). Restoring the nandroid is the easiest fix, from there updating radios or anything else is simple.

Your S-OFF, it is easy... just flash the radios and firmware (bootloader) like any ROM, put the ZIP on SD card, start TWRP/CWM, flash the the firmware.zip file and reboot. Done.
Get the files you need from this post: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=40767819&postcount=33
I helped him through pm he's on newest radios.... And o damn forgot about that method too. *facenuke* ughh
