hi s-off my phone when the hboot was 1.49.0007
but after the ics update i re(s-on) my phone for the new ics update
but now the hboot is 1.53.0007 and can't make it s-off(Update sucks nothing special)
1_tried using unlimited.io but didn't work made an error my guess because it's ics
2_tried using GB ROM(Leedroid) didn't work
used fastboot flash boot boot.img still no luck (restarts every 5 seconds)
3_PG86IMG.zip fails (Main version is Older)
4_last shooter ruu error 140
Any advice? thank you
If you accepted an official OTA update, then you are likely now stuck in Hboot1.5-Hell. (I made this mistake many moons ago.)
You can try one of the many methods to downgrade your HBoot, but I don't know how that works with the official ICS update.
Sorry.
thanks for answering
hope there will be a solution soon
not much of a problem still can flash any ICS ROM Unless Sense 4.0
but if there are any other ideas please help

That error could mean the update put your bootloader to stock I'm not certain of what your capable of doing at the moment but I do know to unlock the bootloader for hboot 1.5 you had to use the HTC unlock method and maybe you'll have to use it. I'm not an expert so this may not be the case but keep in mind you said your hboot is at a different value than previous to me it would only make sense to use the HTC method to unlock reestablish root the use the wire trick to get s-off. If you try this I wish you success. Sorry if this seems lacking but if I find something out I'll make sure you know

1_ you tried unlimited.io and it didn't work? Thats surprising to me.
2_ have you tried booting recovery from fastboot and flashing a gb rom? Fastboot boot recovery yourrecovery.img
3_ You can run an older ruu if you change your main version, but it still won't lower your hboot, your phone says its version "x.x.x.x" and the ruu is lower so it won't flash.
4_ you will never be able to lower your hboot unless you use a downgrade method like unknownforces brick/downgrade. If you put a lower hboot in the newest ruu, it won't run because you've broken the HTC signature. Id try the wire trick again if I were you.
Question, why did you s-on? I've taken ota's with s-off and as soon as I see the new hboot I just reflash the engineering hboot.
I have ~ the same problem as friend.evil, although he says he can run roms with Sense < 4, (if i understood correctly) while i can not.
I did try the lastest GB (provided by anryl) PG86IMG, with no luck (device always stuck in boot loop), but i do not have any goldcard (nor could i find one for evo 3d, but i did not google for it that much)
I am not sure about what you (anryl) mean by « official pg86img with changed older hboot ? » ?
Would an ICS RUU solve the problem ? I will probably also try to downgrade hboot if no other suggestions pops up =S

I don't mean to be insensitive but if you s-on'd and then took a new ota then youve got a problem on your hands. An older ruu with an older hboot will do you no good as it won't flash unless you change your main version, and even if you do that it won't flash an older hboot, just an older system (gb). You should go ahead and check in to downgrading.

Gotcha, well you should consider downgrading to get s-off. It's much more trouble free than s-on. Are you gsm or cdma?
NVM, dumb question, lol, if you took an ics ota then you're gsm
Edit... After reading your post in the link provided, is say that an ics ruu would fix u up. I'm cdma so I wouldn't know where to find it at.
Thanks for you suggestions… But still, i don't understand why downgrading should be necessary : why would flashing a rom, stock or not be a problem for the bootloader ? Can we not write to system or flash the boot partition anymore (from fastboot, using fastboot flash boot boot.img ?) in 1.53.0007 ?
(And indeed, gsm forgot to mention, sry)

You might be on to something there, some hboots don't accept commands that others do. I would think that if you changed your main version and then ran a gb pg86img, it would get you back to gb but it won't change your hboot.
Have you tried booting a recovery from fastboot with fastboot boot recovery.img?
You can't use radios, ruu's, or the juop s-off method with 1.53. It's like having a locked/unlocked boatloader.

This is for old firmware folks only! IF ARE RUNNING THE ICS LEAK FIRMWARE, DON'T FLASH THIS!
If you S-ON your device with this installed, IT WILL BRICK.
What is this and why is it better than the ENG Hboot?
This is a patched version of the 2.11 Hboot. This is for GB firmware users. This was patched by the Juopunutbear team. It is very similar to their 2.21 patched hboot. It allows for fastboot commands without HTCDev.com unlock, but not the full engineering set. This is safer for users. This is also not a leaked HBoot like the ENG one was, so this should cause fewer issues with devices like the ENG hboot may have. If you are on the ENG hboot and do not need the extended subset of commands and/or are having issues with the ENG hboot, I recommend flashing this one.
Please thank the Juopunutbear team for developing this as a better alternative to the engineering hboot.
Installation:
-1.S-OFF the device
0. Make sure you aren't on ICS firmware
1. CHECK MD5!!!!
2. Rename file to PH98IMG.zip and place on SD card
3. Reboot to HBOOT
4. Flash bootloader when prompted with volume up.

Thanks for this, I wont be using as im on the ics leak but im sure those on 2.11 will find this useful
Just to make sure, I was on the ics leak before getting s-off then flashed the eng hboot GB firmware PH98IMG that suprchilpil posted. This would still be relevant for me if I didn't need the eng hboot right?
Sorry if it's a dumb question, but I guess better to ask and confirm.
Con, would you recommend downgrading if on the ICS leak and getting back to Hboot 2.11 ?
Con, you're a great man for what you do, but could you PLEASE make a wtf to do with s-off for dummies, (from incredible where everything was easy, only one hboot) Most of this confuses the hell out of me. If anyone could make a "what is all this" or whatever thread it would be of much thanks.
Edit: so in other words, i have no idea what any of this means lol.
I will stay on the 2.11 eng hboot for the time being as I have had no issues since downgrading from 2.21.
I will however download this and keep it handy just in case.
Thanks
I can write more notes tomorrow. I will have time in the next couple days to hopefully do a big info dump.
Thanks for putting this out there....

Hello,
Been going through the threads related to this topic. Phone Specs:
BOOT 1.49.11
Unlocked
S-ON
Shooter-S
Revolution CM Recovery
I tried to update from zip but phone said wrong zipped image. I did a full backup using CM and then tried to flash radio but it failed. I did recover but phone screen goes black and loops. I downloaded YODAS Deoxed and cool ICE and flashed using ZIP. Did wipe/clear cache but now phone is stuck on htc logo.
I did extract boot.img and flash using fastboot and flashed zip back but without success.
Can anyone please advise regarding this issue?
Thank You
Hello fellow EVO 3d user, I read your post and I think I can help shed some light on your predicement. It sounds like your radios are not compatible with yoda and cool sense. Also you tried to flash the update firmware and failed. It's because your s-on and your bootloader is unlocked. To flash radios you will need the correct ones for the gsm EVO 3d . You will more than likely have to flash an ruu file for your region and carrier. If your unbranded just go ahead and use the European one. First you will need to relock your bootloader in fastboot command. Fastboot oem lock. Here's a list of ruu's. Im cdma but I will try to help you http://www.filefactory.com/f/4ef0ef536face67a/. Now once you.find the appropriate file. Place it on your pc and hook your phone up in fastboot. next run the ruu exe. If everything succeeds you will be on hboot 1.53 with the latest radios. At this point just unlock your bootloader and you should be able to run yoda or cool sense. Use 4ext recovery instead of cwm. It's the best recovery. Goodluck.

Thanks for your reply... I used leedroid and was able to boot the phone finally. Problem is I cannot access wifi and I want to return to original gingerbread version. what would you advise? same thing, get RUU from the link you gave?
Will phone be S-On after RUU'ing phone?
Besides if i wanted to upgrade to ICS at this point? what would you advise my friend?
the problem is actually your firmware. Leedroid uses the old firmware whereas the newer roms use the latest firmware.
you should do what Jsparta26 suggests. Run an ICS RUU from the link and you'll have ICS with latest firmware,hboot and radio. You will have to unlock it using a new code after that if you want to flash recovery/roms
And yes you will be S-on after unlocking. for s-off you'll need to do the wire trick.
Just a heads up, if you want to s-off in the future you'll have to do the wire trick. If you want to use the downgrade method then dont update to ICS with a RUU just yet. After your hboot gets updated to 1.53 wire trick is your ONLY option of s-off

Hello folx,
My device is unlocked, rooted, hboot version 1.53.0007 and s-on. I try to flash rom via 4ext recovery touch. for every rom the boot image show up than restart with an infinite loop. How do i fix it ? The problem caused by hboot version or being s-on ? I don't want to mess up with s-off. I don't want to push my phone that far with wired stuff.
Thanks.
S-on is your issue, the only way you might be able to flash a rom without resulting in a boot loop is with 4ext with smart flash enabled but there's also the hboot which could cause issue too depending in which rom you flashed and also the firmware could also cause issues, so to sum up, go s-off already and do us all a favorite, makes life so much easier
(Don't ask me for help as I couldn't care if your phone explodes, eh!
Best way to fix this is to get s-off using the wire trick then downgrade your hboot to 1.4 (I had the same issue and this fixed it). As flash said, use 4ext recovery. The wire trick isn't that bad, it's actually really easy.
Is there any proper tutorial that i can apply s-off to my phone ? Does the hboot version differ this process?

You need to downgrade your Hboot to install jb roms, and the only way to do it is with S-OFF, I did a few phones using the wire trick method and have not had any problems yet. S-OFF is well worth it if you want try different roms...

This video. is what I used. And for the wire. I just used a piece of small copper wire with rubber on it. But it's the most informative video I've seen.
I had this problem as well.
Ultimately, the solution was to downgrade to hboot 1.49.0007 (from 1.57.xxxx).
This is going to be a short and simple guide for S-OFF users that want to update to the current RUU level or refresh their phone because they are having issues like being unable to boot certain ROM's. You will not lose S-OFF by flashing the RUU.
1. Do a nandroid backup of your current ROM if you want to restore it later.
2. Download the current version of the RUU for your phone in exe or zip format from this page.
3. Run the exe version of the RUU in Windows or the zip version as a PG86IMG.zip file through the bootloader. If using the bootloader method make sure the file is named exactly "PG86IMG.zip" and placed in the root of your SD card before starting the bootloader.
There is no need to unlock the bootloader before running it if you are S-OFF and there is troubleshooting information in this post if you have problems. It may be necessary to run the RUU twice if you have a custom bootloader installed when it is run the first time. If the utility hangs after flashing the bootloader from Windows just cancel it and restart.
I recommend downloading and installing the OTA(s) immediately after flashing the RUU to get the most current firmware while still 100% stock, but the OTA firmware update(s) can be downloaded as a separate PG86IMG.zip file if you forget or can't do that for some reason.
4. Flash a custom hboot using the instructions in this post. My recommendation for a good general purpose hboot is the JBear GB 1.50.5050 version unless you are running an ICS Sense ROM like stock or Cool ICS that requires an ICS bootloader (1.57.xxxx or 1.58.xxxx).
5. Connect your phone to a PC and start the bootloader in "fastboot USB " mode, then issue the following command to flash your favorite recovery:
fastboot flash recovery recovery.img (where "recovery.img" is the name of the recovery file in your ADB/fastboot directory)
6. Boot into recovery and restore a nandroid or flash another custom ROM. You may have to wipe cache+dalvik and restart recovery if you get any error messages from the recovery program.
That's it. You're now updated or re-synced with the current firmware, the hboot that meets your requirements and your favorite recovery.
Here are some additional links that might be helpful:
4EXT Recovery OP for the Evo 3D CDMA thread with a direct link to recovery.img in the download section (not the most current version)
Current TeamWin (TWRP2) touch recovery for the CDMA Evo 3d.
Virgin Mobile OTA firmware only in PG86IMG.zip format.
Sprint OTA firmware only in PG86IMG.zip format.

No. That's an older GB level and the most current RUU for the Evo 3D is the 2.89.651.2 ICS version. That's the one I recommend.
Since he is S-OFF already it's easy to revert to a GB RUU if neccessary.

This isn't anything like flashing new ROM's on my phone.

You're welcome.
It's not really that difficult if you are familiar with rooting and flashing HTC devices but I can understand how it might be for users coming from other brands. Samsung in particular is definitely less complicated.

I flashed the above RUU .exe and I'll get to 10%, then my phone reboots (RUU program says "attaining bootloader" or something) and go into a bootloop. Is there a specific hboot necessary to run this. I am on 1.04.200 and s-off, 1.09.00.706
I also tried updating via the bootloader method as well..... runs well....updates like four of the ten check offs and then bootloops as well.
Edit: turns out I was flashing the wrong version, oops

From experience I've discovered that the RUU.exe utility will sometimes stop after flashing the stock bootloader if it is run with a custom hboot installed, which is why I put this comment in the OP:
If the utility hangs after flashing the bootloader from Windows just cancel it and restart.

I've had no problem completing the RUU.exe flash if I just cancel the utility in the Windows task manager and restart it.
Others have reported that re-flashing the RUU.zip file through the bootloader also works if the original flash is incomplete.
Also, make sure that you downgrade your hboot after flashing the RUU since the stock hboot won't boot GB or AOSP based ROM's.

Ok one more stupid question, after successfully flashing the correct RUU my phone boots into the stock virgin mobile. How do I get into bootloader (to flash OTA update and hboot) from here since holding power and volume down button from off no longer work.

Try removing/replacing the battery and then use the Power+VolumeDown buttons together to enter the bootloader.
The stock ROM has the "fast boot" option turned on in the power settings by default and that will interfere if you try to enter the bootloader after powering down from the stock ROM.

Thank you very much for your patience and help Ramjet. Everything went well.

Please excuse me this might have been asked before.
I'm currently S-Off H-boot 1.40 but still on gingerbread firmware(2.17 radio 0.97.10.0530). also flashed to Boost Mobile. My question is if I run RUU to newest build will I lose boost mobile flash?

I honestly don't know.
There is a post by a cricket user in my rooting and S-OFF guide that says the customization is not lost for that carrier but I've never used Boost and can't speak to that.
Perhaps another Boost user on these forums has experience with flashing the RUU.

Using the bootloader procedure is, by far, the easiest way of doing the RUU process that I've encountered. From custom ROM, to stock, back to a custom ROM in less than 45 minutes.
ramjet, thank you for your contributions to our platform.
so my wife is hboot 1.40, radio version 0.97.... running a GB ROM. I need to update her EVERYTHING(you pointed me here) and get her on NegaLite BluROM. I believe I will need to update her hboot as well. At what point in this process should that be done? Do I need to be worried that her current ROM is incompatible with either the new RUU or the new bootloader? And if it is, then I just work through it all in recovery?
Very useful thread, and thank you very much, by the way.

Is her phone S-OFF? If so, there is a link in the OP to a post that covers updating the hboot. If not, the only way to update the hboot is to flash a more current RUU.

Yes she is S-off. She also already has 4ext recovery installed.
Does this negate my need to flash recovery in the downloader?
Since she is S-off, this should be pretty easy.
I will still need to access the bootloader via Windows cmd, yes? Or can I accomplish all of this using only the handset?

eMMC-boot

Is this a custom hboot, or stock? I ask because of the caution on the OP regarding custom bootloaders. And I am not sure because I changed her bootloader a week or so ago and had to change it back.

That's a stock hboot so you should be fine. You can still update using the RUU if a custom hboot is installed, but it might take a restart to complete after the stock hboot is installed.

Hey
I wanted to know is there anyway to downgrade hboot with Stock RUU
I have right now 3.28.401.1 but i got something like this: 1.20.401.8

I also had S-ON and was still able to unlock via htc dev.
hmmm actually you could try using the wire trick but i dont remember how it was called.
and with the wire trick i achieved my HBOOT downgrade from 1.53 back to 1.49 and S-OFF also.

No it wont but doing such thing always requires caution
Here is a very good tutorial step by step from our xda member rizozizo:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2694007
I used it myself and worked well
But yeah you wont achieve it at first try cause you will need to repeat maybe 2-8 more times (it took me 20 btw xD) but it will work guaranteed
You can also google for evo 3D wire trick for a video that is online to give you better understanding what you need to do

juopunutbear will work, stay on stock rooted rom for the procedure, then patience is all you need
So something finally changed. I Used UnknownForce method to brick my device
I got now 1.49.0007 but without a ruu, everytime i wanted to install with ruu, it says that Error 131
I also tried to change cid but didn't work
Also tried the fastboot mode to push stock GB PG86IMG.zip on it, then it says CID ERROR and tried to change supecid or HTC__001 mode but i doesn't work. Allways errors
Press power to exit and like that. i can be only in bootloader, fastboot mode and recovery mode
With hboot 1.49.0007 you should be able to s-off with revolutionary.io
Afterwards install recovery.img in fastboot mode (4ext recommendet).
Then you free to flash any rom in recovery.
and when you'll s-off with rivolutionary you'll be able to flash unsigned/incompatible ruu
i can't do the rev.io thing. it says to install drivers but adb/fastboot works
adb is acting weird too, when i switch off my phone then connect usb, pc says that htc is connected and adb says device is offline.
fastboot works in fastboot mode
i think when i did Ultimate recovery Tool thing, it sayed to install stock GB ROM but i cant install
Ah yes, I think I remember.
For revolutionary you need a running rom.
AFAIK ruu error 131 means you have the wrong ruu for your phone (cid error).
Run "fastboot oem getvar all" in fastboot mode to get the infos for the matching gb ruu (carrier, hboot version, baseband).

and check that the ruu is for SHOOTER_U and not for SHOOTER (CDMA version)! maybe you have wrong version, and phone is just saving itself from bricking :fingers-crossed:
