Hey people,
since HTC released their new update I tried to install it on my device.
Unfortunately my phone doesn't boot anymore.
So I'm stuck at the "HTC"- welcome (boot) screen.
Some specs about my phone:
HTC EVO 3d - X515m >GSM<
HBOOT 1.49.0018
S-On with HTC unlocked.
4EXT Recovery (CWM didn't work)
-Updated with the Systemupdate.
Greetings
You have to relock your bootloader and use an ruu to go back to stock before you can take the official OTA.
I've went back to stock (Relocked) and I have not found a method to flash to the new ICS. This phone is not on the Sprint network.
Any solutions other than S-OFF?
I just rooted my mother's phone and was going to flash a custom ROM, when she took the OTA and ended in the same result, locked at htc boot screen. I relocked the phone via fastboot and flashed a stock gingerbread rom via USB to get the phone running again. I'm now taking the OTA update of ICS for her. I'll try to unlock her on the other side.
Thanks,
I figured it out.
The needed to upgrade to ICS final is to "Relock" then take the OTA after connecting to the Internet..
I used WiFi for the download.

so just downloaded the new offical ics update for my unbranded gsm EVO 3d an when I try to update the phone reboots as it would to install the ota but it just freezes with an error screen (droid with !triangle) now this happens on my phone aswell as my friends were both rooted with clockwork mod recovery installed but NO S-OFF !
I wonderd if anyone else has encounterd this problem an if so is there a fix ?
I am experiencing the same problem. My bootloader is unlocked with htcdev.com, I have the 4EXT recovery.img on it and the phone is rooted with SuperSU.
When I try to install the OTA ICS update the phone reboots and there is a progressbar for about a second. After that the error screen (droid with !triangle) appears and the update stops.
Does anybody know how to get the update installed? I don't want to do a factory reset and delete everything that is on it. But I dont care if the root is gone after the update.
U have to be locked and unrooted u will loose the ability to flash custom kernels better get s-off and flash it per my guide on this forum

If have the same problem. My device is S-ON too. Can we unroot and back to stock recovery mode while the device is S-ON? or is there any untouched official update (for using in this situation) that we can use?
thanks.
Hello everybody
The new ICS update for the ROGERS EVO 3D just came out yesterday, so I restored my phone to the original firmware (via restoring the backup I did in the recovery) and then proceeded to download the OTA update. After it finished, the phone rebooted into the recovery (i have 4-ext touch recovery) and started installing. After it finished, the phone rebooted and then got stuck on the white HTC screen. I managed to enter the recovery again and restore the original firmware again. What is that I'm doing wrong here? Here is some helpful info:
Rogers EVO 3D, GSM version
Unlocked bootloader (HTCDEV method), S-ON
carrier unlocked
HBOOT 1.49.0008
OS is rooted
I'm in the same boat but I'm not able to do a recovery. I went through the update process and when the phone rebooted it got stuck on the white htc screen. I can get it into the bootloader menu but when i choose recovery it starts but then i get an error with a pic of the device and the red yield sign. If i choose factory reset it just gets stuck at the white htc. I read some other posts and I saw that having an unlocked bootloader may cause issues with updates so that may be your issue as for me, I'm not sure what I can do. I may just need the actual update file to redo the update but I'm not sure where to find it.
Same here, but I don't get half way through the ota update before I see the red triangle and exclamation mark. Phone will boot into stock recovery (which I would assume you need instead of modded recovery) and the update starts, but doesn't complete. I pull the battery and the phone boots up normally. Just can't seem to get through the update. Could be something to do with being s-off I would guess.

Same problem but whit s-off
I have been predicting that this would happen... ICS failures with non-standard HBOOTs. Good luck.
Probably will have to wait for an RUU or custom.
I'd recommend using the GB ruu to get you back to full stock. Always found Rogers ota updates (possibly all carriers?) won't install if you're rooted or using a custom recovery.
I had to install the ruu via renaming the rom.zip to PG86IMG.zip and copying it to the sd card so that the bootloader would auto flash it. Running the ruu exe tossed up all kinds of errors.
It will put everything back to Rogers stock. After that just setup wifi and do the 2 Rogers OTA updates.
Once in ICS, it's easy peasy to get recovery and root back.
Also, for what it's worth, Go Backup is awesome for going rom to rom and not needing a full backup. Use it on rooted rom, then use it to restore after rooting new rom. Will do all your apk's and everything.
1st post here after years of lurking. Yay.

Alright thanks a lot
Just an update on what I did. I was able to reload the stock gb rom for rogers using the exe file, then I went through the 2 updates that came up when checking and ics is now up and running on my phone. However in my attempts of trying to fix the original problem, I managed to re-lock my bootloader before flashing to stock rom and I had s-on the whole time. hope this help.
i switched to stock like.. a week back?
jus got ota on 4th
i WAS rooted and using juopunutbear's hboot *u can jus get the hboot from their website*
so i jus flashed back stock recovery.. and updated.. and success.. lost root though.. and i was back to stock bootloader..
used the PG86IMG with juopunutbear's bootloader and 4ext recovery.. and flashed cwm supersu.. v0.91 i think.. i dunno.. latest one.. and bam.. im on stock.. rooted.. and works perfectly..
Possible sollution
Maybe try flashing one of the customized ROMs that are based on the latest OTA update. I'm sure Anryl's newest rom is blazing-fast and stable. You can find it in the gsm android development forum and flash it via recovery. Make sure you have the latest 4ext recovery installed, though.
where can a i find that stock rogers rom i modified mine and that might be the reason i get a security failure in hboot. s is on. when i run the ruu file in windows to downgrade i get error 155. when i run the the update from about phone. it locks up with blue android guy and yellow exclamation mark. i remove the battery and she boots fine with no changes.
I am trying to do same. Get stuck on HTC screen. I have S-ON. Was on cobra 2.4 prior.
If anyone can give details on how to fix it, it would be great! Please no saying "install exe". I need to know which exe etc.
just wanted to tell everyone that in order for the ota update to work properly, you need to be running stock unrooted firmware with a locked bootloader. Just relock your bootloader, reinstall the stock firmware, upgrade to ics via ota, then re-unlock and re-root.
Hi
I have a HTC EVO 3D from Rogers that was got messed up during changing networks... rooted the phone for no apparent reason... to now get a update for it for ics from the provider and it bricked the phone.
It's stuck at HTC boot screen, can get fastboot USB from bootloader. recovery gets a ! in a triangle and factory reset doesn't work, freezes at splash screen after restarting the phone. Was stupid not making a backup or searching for programs to back it up before I went ahead and clicked update
It has HTC boot-loader 1.49 s-on but is rooted.
I am looking for clear(fix my evo for dummies) step by step instructions with correct installation for my model of phone, HTC EVO 3D Rogers GSM, or anything that could replace the os to get my phone to be useful again I'm currently using my backup phone a HTC G1 HTC ftw
Try kingcobra's rom, ota from rogers will not boot due to the fact that your phone is rooted, kingcobra's rom is based on rogers ota, flash it and leave it.

Go to the gsm development forum and download the RUU for the phone, and restore it to stock unrooted OS. Before you do that though, make sure that your phone's BOOTLOADER IS LOCKED. Look up how to re-lock your bootloader. After you relock your bootloader, you can proceed with restoring the phone.
Soooo.... basically, what I'm getting from this is, if you like having a locked bootloader, CWM and root, don't bother trying to install this OTA update because it's a headache. Agree?
The phone's not mine, it's my wife's, and she doesn't want anything special or like the idea of me messing around in her phone.
I was about to install this late last night, just about to hit that button, then I thought, "what about the bootloader? what about root? what about the fact that it's now unlocked and being used on a carrier other than Rogers?"
Ok so heres the deal. I have an HTC Evo 3D from Rogers in Canada and I had an unlocked bootloader and S-OFF (currently (re)locked and S-OFF). I was running the stock Rogers Rom but with CWM recovery. Yesterday I downloaded the new OTA update for android 4.0 with sense 3.6 and of coarse I found out that custom recoveries won't flash stock HTC zips, and I wanted this new update. So I downloaded the official stock RUU and tried to reflash to a "true stock" form so I could update the phoen. First error I encountered when trying to use the RUU was "error 131 Customer ID error", which I found out was a problem with the CID of the phone (don't know how it was changed). Tried setting the CID to ROGER001, which is supposedly the default CID, but the RUU still would still get the CID error. So I changed the CID to 11111111 (superCID) through fastboot and tried the RUU again. It worked this time but now I'm stuck at the HTC sceen and the phone will not boot.
I have tried manually flashing the boot.img from the RUU through fastboot. Also since I'm still S-OFF and i tried reflashing CWM recovery and tried flashing an assortment of ROMs including the backup of the stock ROM that I was just on and NO rom would boot. Roms with custom boot animations would get past the HTC logo but then just sit loading forever but never actually finish booting. Also tried flashing the RUU via the bootloader by renaming the rom.zip to PG86IMG.zip and still nothing. I still have access to the bootloader and fastboot and recovery. RUU flash completes everytime I try it but never boots, and nobody seems to have had the same problem as me after using an RUU.
I am at a complete loss for what to try next and really need help.
Hboot of my phone is 1.49.08
SOLVED
Finally got the phone working again today. Looks like the RUU I was using may have been corrupt and wasn't playing nice with the ROGER001 CID. Finally was able to sucessfully download the 3.28 RUU and tried loading that after changing the CID back to ROGER001 and BAM! phone booted up after that. Crappy thing was I thought it was dead for good so I ended up going out and buying the new Galaxy S III for $650+tax :laugh:. Oh well the GS3 is a better phone anyways haha.
Point is my original problem is now solved so mods can delete this or move it or whatever.
Alright I will try to recap what ive done today. I Was rooted with s-off via the thunderbolt tool and had the new ICS rom installed and running fine. But I decided to sell it so I used the thunderbolt tool to unroot and return to stock.
All was going well then in the boot-loader the update failed and i got stuck with boot-loader locked security warning, which would not let me do anything, was stuck in the boot-loader.
After some searching I found a link to unlock the boot-loader via htcdev to fix the security warning and allowed me to finally boot back into the rom but the phone kept shutting down after it booted up past the thunderbolt screen. So after searching I found this link http://www.thunderboltforums.com/forum/htc-thunderbolt-help/7853-how-fix-security-warning.html and used the 2nd method to fix it since I still have a custom recovery on the phone. Now my problem is I am once again trying to get s-off through the thunderbolt tool like it says in the guide but every time I use the tool it says Starting up... and does nothing. Bascially im now stuck with s-on and an unlocked boot-loader. oh I tried to relock the bootloader but it just gives me a security warning again and im stuck in the bootloader again.
Any Ideas?
Alright never-mind I just used the Revolutionary 0.4 program and gained "revolutionary" in the pink field and s-off again so im good there again.
The thunderbolt tool is still stuck at "starting up"..., is there another way to get the tbolt back to stock condition?

If you have S-off then just grab a stock RUU (easiest probably gingerbread) and flash the RUU in hboot. This will completely return your phone to stock as well as unroot you. If you wish to keep root then flash a leaked RUU that someone put up.

If you're already rooted go to the development section and download the new radio and put it on the root of your sd card, rename it to PG05IMG.zip, reboot into the bootloader. The bootloader will automatically scan for the update and ask it you want to update. Select yes. Once it is finished and the phone boots back up. Use a file manager to browse to the radio and rename it. Then download and flash the official ics build. Don't confuse it with the leak. The leak is a worthless piece of crap and doesn't come close to how much better the ota is.

You probably took the update and tried to install it with a custom recovery installed. If so, it appears that will result in a partially installed update with the ROM updated and the kernel not being flashed, which causes WiFi errors.
If that's your situation the best thing to do is flash a stock rooted ROM if that is what you were using prior to taking the OTA.

I found this thread because I'm in a similar situation. I tried downloading from the quoted link and using 4eXT recovery to load the zip file from sd card and it says "installation aborted".
Any ideas on what to try next? My eventual goal is to get back to 100% showroom stock non-rooted, locked booloader, so that the phone will accept OTA updates fully. Modding/ROMing is a drug I experimented with, and am now ready to go back to the straight and narrow. I'd prefer the phone not have any scars whatsoever from my old habits.
Additional background:
Started with ICS OTA. Used HTC unlock to unlock bootloader. Coworker installed rom toolbox, superSU and 4eXT recovery (not sure what order) to get SOS rom up and running. Never did go for S-OFF.
Decided I wanted to return to 100% Sprint factory stock. Coworker promptly moved across country, leaving me to figure this out. Tried using several ROMs from XDA and elsewhere, and eventually ended up with a rooted almost stock ROM, but had to flash my own radios via 4eXT, as wifi and 4G weren't working from the rom. Flashing my own radios via 4eXT, got to 2.89 with then current radios.
While sitting in my hotel travelling abroad with no international data plan and super slow hotel wifi, I foolishly downloaded OTA this morning, promptly killing my phone's wifi. Phone is still rooted with 4eXT, superSU, installed on it if that helps.

I just did this yesterday (Thanks to ramjet for pointing it out). Backup first. It dose a factory reset. You also need to install the blue tooth fix from this post after flashing the ROM http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=29707708&postcount=303
fixed thanks
Hi to all
I just fixed my phone thanks to Mr ramjet and I used the last one because I completely formatted my phone and only had 4ext it takes while to load the first time but be patient and it will work
How about S-Off phones?
Hello... so my fiance' has a Virgin Mobile Evo 3D. I downloaded the update from them and tried to install it through the custom recovery. It did what Ramjet said by updating the ROM and not the Kernel. I now have no wifi,it says wifi error when trying to turn it on. Since then, I have made sure the stock ROM was rooted, and have also HTCDev unlocked the device as well as S-Off with the Junobear wire trick and Linux. Now that I'm S-Off, is it ok to use an RUU to downgrade everything? Just wondering before I go any further and brick the device or screw up something I shouldn't. I figure it's better to ask questions first before doing it lol! Any help is greatly appreciated from anybody! I have my specs listed here for you all:

Was this new thread ever made because I am a Virgin Mobile user too just like the above user and ever since last update my wireless has stated error.
If ur phone's bootloader is unlocked, relock your phone by using the fastboot command "fastboot oem lock". Then just download the 2.89 RUU.exe. (i know ur on 2.95 but i have not seen the 2.95 ruu floating around hgere yet) Run it on a windows PC and follow the prompts and it should flash correctly on your phone (caution, it will erase everything on your phone). Once its flashed, the phone will reboot (sometimes more than once) just let it do its thing
Once the phone has flashed correctly, do a software update and it will update to 2.95
Worked for me when i had to go back to stock in order to return it for warranty when the digitizer went out
EDIT:
Here is the link to the 2.95 OTA http://d-h.st/vUe
Download to your PC, then unzip it, and run it after you have relocked your phone
Should you need them, here is the list of HBOOTS (thanks to ramjet73) http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?p=29844945#post29844945

This sounds hopeful, I did try to install this before with no luck, it gave me a 131 custom id error. I did it relocked and I am currently 2.95.652.5, and S-ON.
any suggestions?
Thanks
