Hello everyone, I recently relocked my phone and installed stock 2.17 RUU from my computer which was successful but the phone continues to boot loop all the time. I even put the PG86IMG.zip into my sdcard and it recognized it and completed but the phone is still in boot loop. I don't know whats going on! I did everything in my power! Please help :-(
After it installs you have to delete that file on the sd card

No luck at all. I put the PG86IMG.zip file in on sdcard and let it install and removed sdcard from phone and put it in laptop and removed the file then put it back in phone and still, a boot loop. This really blows.
I even rerooted and still nothing. NEED HELP! PLEASE! I BEG OF YOU ALL!
Run again the ruu.

Guess how many times I did that? Like millions I think.
Did you wipe before relocking ? You have the latest RUU ? I just unlocked and relocked cause I dicked something up lol.. Messing around and TWRP didn't play nice for me
Put the phone into FASTBOOT USB THEN run the RUU EXE, NOT THE ZIP FILE.
Did that too with no luck. I sent it in for repair, expect it back in 3 days. Thanks for trying to help, everyone.

I have a feeling the digitizer on my wife's EVO 3D has gone bad and I want to return it to Sprint but I am having trouble restoring it to a Sprint ROM. Can someone point me to a functional download of a stock rom? I am either downloading the wrong one or the link from many of the older posts is dead. The ones that I have downloaded don't seem to be working or I am doing it wrong. At the moment the phone boots to the white HTC screen and hangs there. I am able to boot into fast boot and get into recovery but none of the .zip files I am attempting to load are working. I have tried using an RUU EXE but I keep getting an error about the batter being below 30% even though it has been charging all night while turned off. I have looked through many stickies and how to instructions but I just can't seem to figure it out. Thanks for any assistance with this issue.

The best way to return to stock, is by using the leaked HTC tool, RUU. RUU stands for ROM Update Utility.
There are many different ways to handle this situation. The method I would use and prefer, I posted yesterday and am quoting:
Easiest solution is to attempt the RUU again ..
If for some reason, that process isn't working but you're able to access the bootloader, I'd remove the sdcard, using another device, load the rom.zip from the RUU.exe onto the sdcard, rename rom.zip to PG86IMG.zip and boot into the bootloader. The bootloader will recognize this file and flash it, having the same outcome as using the RUU.exe via USB.

Great location for the leaked RUU.exe or rom.zip files contained inside of the RUU.exe is: http://goo-inside.me/shooter/ruu .
Good luck!
I have downloaded the RUU and extracted the rom.zip, renamed it to PG86IMG.zip, copied it to the root of the sd card, and booted into the bootloader. Here is a link to a video of what happens.

I don't know if i grabbed the wrong file or if the phone is just FUBAR.

Have you tried to boot the phone let it charge up and snag the 2.17 ruu exe from football's thread in dev section.
I would turn debug on then adb reboot bootloader fastboot into recovery wipe and then go back to hboot and relock the phone a must do ... Then use the ruu .
Sent from my PG86100 using xda premium
The phone will not boot past the white HTC screen so debug mode stuff is out of the question. If I relock the phone will it let me use the ruu and not give me the under 30% battery error even though the phone has been charging for the last 2 days.

I would hope so .. to use a ruu you must be relocked. I think you get some funky issues tryin to use it without relockin first I have seen others try it your way and have it say 30% thing.
I would try it . I only know you have to be relocked to use a ruu exe.

I will give that a try when get back. Good thing locking and unlocking is pretty easy. I just wish everything else on this stupid phone was.

Got it, thanks for the assistance. Once i relocked it the ruu worked perfectly.

I am a complete noob. Sprint Evo 3d 1.5 s-on, I have been running Viper IC3D for a month now, loving it,should have stuck with that. I wanted to try one of the Jelly Bean Roms, specifically the Team D.I.R.T. one, but I didn't want to have to keep flashing the two roms back and forth. Found out about Boot Manager Pro on here, and found a thread about using it with hboot 1.5 s-on. followed the instructions, booted into D.I.R.T. rom. fiddled with it, decided to go back to my phone rom. Boot Manager kept unexpectedly closing on me, wouldn't stay open long enough to do anything. So I went into recovery and restored my nandroid of Viper. But D.I.R.T. loaded! Said screw it, and wiped and reflashed Viper. D.I.R.T. loaded! Couldn't get anything but that ROM to load no matter what I did. Uninstalled Boot Manager, nothing but D.I.R.T.So I hunted around here and found a thread that said if all else failed, to manually remove Bootloader from sd and go from there. Did that, and it soft bricked my phone. I can get into recovery, but no matter what I do when I reboot it hangs in HTC white boot screen. I cannot afford another phone and don't get an upgrade til next year. Please Say there is a solution to this! I cried all last night, couldn't sleep, and I'm crying again. Side note, i accidentally erased half the C; Drive on my laptop trying things I found on another android forum,and system restore didn't work. So I'm back here, and I'm scared to try anything else, but I have to do something. Help!!!!!!
Flash the kernel. All will be well.
Viper rom should include boot.img.
Extract it to sdk-tools folder.
Open terminal, cd to sdk-tools directory.
Hold volume plus down on phone. Hit power button on fastboot option.
Plug in phone to computer. It should say fastboot usb on phone screen now. If not, install htc drivers.
Go to terminal. Type "fastboot flash boot boot.img
Should see some stuff happen on computer screen, phone will reboot.
Do that then report back.

can I do this using my rootevo3dnew package? I had a bad experience trying to install android sdk
You don't install sdk-tools. It's just a bunch if exe's in a folder.
That other thing you said, never heard of it.

Yes you can, as long as you have fastboot and adb in there you'll be good, just put the boot.img in the same folder

I'm doomed. I was able to flash CWM this way, although it didn't help me at all. But I tried to flash the boot img and it didn't work. Didn't seem to recognize the command.
I'm cdma s-on? So basically you relocked and flashed an RUU and then relocked?
try to relock and flash with RUU it will work
At first when you were unable to boot back to phone rom, you should have went into recovery and flash the update.zip located in the sdcard/bootmanager/phonerom.
Anyway try to flash back to viperrom again then boot your recovery via fast boot since you are not s-off. And flash the update.zip from the phone rom folder. If everything fails just relock your bootloader and use the ruu.exe and you should be fine.

The command is: fastboot flash boot c:\(navigate to the sdk map with boot.img)\boot.img
For instance. for me it's c:\Users\(my name)\boot.img
Because i have my sdk and boot.img in my User map.
I believe boot manager creates the files for the second rom on the sd card. maybe thats why the D.I.R.T rom is loading.. My advice, try a different sdcard and see if the viper rom starts (you still might have to flash the boot.img via adb because of s-on)
I have no idea where the files for second rom are created so maybe if someone else could help out here. Then it should be a simple matter of deleting the second rom from the sd card and then go ahead and flash your viper rom.

Thanks to everyone! Relocked and ran RUU safely back to stock now debating if I have the guts to unlock again lol

Should I do the stock ics ota first? I know that will make me hboot 1.58. Can I still HTC dev unlock 1.58? And can I get a new code? Didn't save the old one
Sent from my PG86100 using xda app-developers app
Yes you will have to get new code from htcdev. Though i wouldn't recommend updating hboot cause its known to cause some issues with some roms
Need to get back to stock from twrp 2.5 w dumlock. Long story short, I was given a Rezound last year by a friend then I upgraded to Galaxy S4 and now my friend's mom needs the Rezound bc her phone is acting up. I need to get back to stock ASAP but I think Dumlock has thrown me for a loop when trying to fastboot oem lock before I run RUU.exe. I tried the restore recovery and restore boot in TWRP but when I moved my SD card from the rezound to my S4 I wiped all the data. Yes, im an idiot and apparently dumlock means dummies like me will lock up their phones. LoLz! Can someone walk me through please?
Sent from my SCH-I545 using xda app-developers app
What do you mean unDumlock? Dumlock is just a rom mod to assist in flashing with an s-on device. Just re-lock and run an RUU. Before you do though, just going to see if I can give you some advice, What your model/radio information from hboot in the upper left hand portion?
Ok Im embarrassed to tell u my initial mistake but I was able to fastboot oem lock and now I am getting the hboot error when I run the RUU.exe. my hboot is 2.27 and my radio is 2.22.10.0801r/2.22.10.0803r

If your bootup screen for sure says Locked or Relocked, then you can
find here on XDA factory install of 4.03.605.2.
First one came from Android Police. Not the RUU executable, but the zip.
Use it as a PH98IMG.zip located only on the removable sdCard.
It should load and install.
Hello guys ive been spending days following tutorials on trying to get this phone back, so i got this phone for free, my mate owned it he tried run a custom rom after unlocking it but it got stuck in a boot loop, so i ended up with it. When i got it i tried to install different roms but they all got in a boot loop which i think i read it was because it was s-on and hboot-1.53, so i read about RUU's so i relocked the phone using the commander the phone now says relocked, i tried a bunch of different RUU's but all of them failed. I then tried to goldcard the SD card, so i first formated it, but cant get past the stage to get the CID as the usb debugging isnt enabled so it wont connect with htc sync and when i you the command window and do the adb devices it will not recognise the phone. So i tried to unlock the phone again but now every time i try doing it it keeps failing, i cant get access to any codes so i cant get a new unlock_code.bin so i got the unlock_code.bin from my mate but failed. signature verify failed. Basically i just want to get this phone working, it is
OPTUS001
SHOOTER_U
HBOOT-1.53.0007
RADIO-11.25.3504.06_M
OpenDSP-vo.2.6.0.2226.00.0202
i dont know if any of that information is helpful if anyone can help me get this phone working the gratitude will be high as its been wrecking my brain the past few days.

No recovery, from what he told me he didnt back anything up, just done a whipe, i dont think i can install a rom though since the phone is in relock mode and cant get it to unlock again, is there an RUU that will work? the ones i tried all failed
Will the rom install if i put it on the main section of the sd card and re-name the rom PG86IMG?
ok ignore what i previously wrote, i reinstalled gsmevo3droot and was able to use the old unlock_code.bin to reunlock the phone now i can access recovery again, i then installed the rom you suggested then took the boot image out and done the fastboot boot boot.img, phone is working thankyou so much

Does a battery charge when the phone is off? If so does the USB recognize when you plug it into a computer? Would reflash stock firmware. All info will be deleted from phone

Sounds like battery is bad, yes you can flash from sdcard. Need to find your stock firmware in pg86img.zip. put that on root of sdcard. hboot will flash.

PG86IMG.ZIP is the name the zip file you are trying to flash needs to be. You need to find the firmware for your carrier, it more then likely will come as an ruu windows application. The rom.zip will be in temp folder when you run the app, while running you copy rom.zip and rename to PG86IMG.ZIP
