First off, I've gone through thread after thread hoping to find an answer, but simply have not.
I rooted my phone back in July and don't remember which method I used. I need to get my phone back to stock for warranty (I have a dead strip on my screen) and before I thought, I used SU to get back to S-On, but now I can't get back to stock.
I've tried to run various RUU's, more specifically regaw's version among others, but I haven't had any success. Every time I run an RUU it says that my phone is not connected to my computer. I've also downloaded the PJ75IMG and tried that method as well, but nothing happens.

Do you have HTC Sync installed? I know that has been a issue for myself, if so uninstall that, and you will need to run the RUU for the Firmware you have. Also I have downloaded mine from this website. http://shipped-roms.com/index.php?category=android&model=Jewel

Got the correct firmware, started the process no problem. Now I've got an Error [155]: Unknown and that's as far as it'll take me. I've tried multiple times, and nothing happens. When the phone is supposed to restart it just sits there as if nothing happened to it at all. The RUU instructed me to restart the phone and do the recovery through the program. Once through, it says that I should now try to start the RUU again. and the same thing happens. Am I missing something here?
When running the RUU, are you getting a 155 Error Code?
Yeah, the Error 155 keeps coming up.

Yep, that's the problem I was having. Once I relocked the bootloader the RUU ran smooth as butter. Took a little while so make sure you have enough battery/have it plugged in.

Hey everyone, I am unable to unlock my bootloader after accepting this OTA. I just got an EVO 3D yesterday and I updated it as soon as I got it. I first checked to see if it was an HBOOT below 1.5, it wasn't so I went ahead and updated. However when i get to step 12 i believe on the htc dev site, I flash the unlock_code.bin and nothing happens just sits there. I read around and found people saying you need to take the 2.08 RUU, I tried that and when it gets to the black HTC screen I get an error 140. I was so excited to get this phone and already downloaded the rom i wanted before owning it. If someone can please help me out I would appreciate it. Thanks

Same here.
The same RUU I used to revert to the .2sw update to unlock two other evo3d's with hboot 1.5, will not work. Im unbelievably frustrated right now as Ive been sitting at this computer for over three hours. Please, if you find a way to downgrade your software, please let me know. thanks
not sure why you wanted to be on hboot 1.50. but shouldnt be a problem to unlock the bootloader, since it was just minor updates and still on hboot 1.50. id just try doing the process again.
i unlocked mine with unlock_code.bin that i used when i rooted my evo 3d for 1st time.....it worked fine.
Tried 5 times and failed..

I didn't want to be on hboot 1.5, I wanted to be below it. But when I first got my phone I checked the bootloader and was already at 1.5. If it was below that I would've been rooted right now...
to be a bit more clear it was hboot 1.5 with an OTA 2.08 when I first received the phone.

1st Check you bootloader .What it says at the top .(locked/unlocked/relocked) if it says unlocked you do not need unlock_code.bin.

That's the guide I used to HTC Unlock. Video helped. There is a post somewhere about needing to Re-flash the stock RUU.exe or Ruu.zip (renamed to PG86IMG.zip) to get the phone past the "nothing happens" step where you're supposed to get the "unlock" option screen on the phone. I haven't seen the 651.5 released as a complete RUU, but you could probably flash the 651.3 RUU, finish the HTC unlock and then run the 651.5 update. Heck, the unlock would probably work after the update, idk for sure.
I have some links and my issue with this below.

I have some tools and files for you to use that will give you temp root and allow a downgrade to 2.08.651.2 rom, hboot will still be 1.50 though. However from there you should be able to unlock via HTCdev method. I gotta upload the files and write the code which I will post up here in a second. I hope you are ok with using adb and fastboot.
Hello, quick background, My sisters bf tried to root her phone. He failed. I received it and attempted to fix, here is the thread where I almost succeeded: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?p=38442511
only problem now is when I went to install the RUU my computer reboot and left the phone with the HTC in silver and on the 4 corners,4 triangles with exclamation marks inside. I cant boot back to bootloader, when I try to run the RUU from the terminal it says error cant run RUU. running linux 12.04.
Hmm I could say many things suggestions etc but they would all be untested. Best bet, take it in telling em you where updating the phone via ruu pc rebooted while ruu was being run.

Won't Sprint see that the phone was tampered with? everyonce in a while when I unplug the phone from the comp it shows the bootloader screen with just RUU in orange but at the top it says tampered and relocked.
When it shows the bootloader, as you said, can't you volume button down to select recovery? If your recovery got wiped during the messed up RUU flash, you might really be hosed. Have you tried rerunning RUU from a windows device? Sinister knows a lot about android/Linux, glad he posted, but if he suggests it's hosed, it probably is. That said, it's pretty hard to completely hose it. One of your other partitions may have got borked, in which case I'd check the jewel Evita brick toolkit thread here in a sticky or at one X in a sticky, I forget.
From my Evo LTE, yup.

Can you get into hboot? If so remove your sd add to the root of it an recovery image. That is if you can't hboot<recovery. If that don't work use regamods s-on and his other thing to hide the rl tampered thing in hboot. Provide more details bro. Its hard to guess.

I've had my Evo LTE since launch. Ran many many ROM's. Was on CM11 for quite some time and then all the sudden in my pocket it went into a bootloop. But, not a normal bootloop. It will boot all the way into android, I can unlock the screen sometimes even use it for a while then reboot. Many times it will get to the lockscreen only and then reboot, it will do his cycle indefinitely. I know this type of bootloop usually indicates a kernel/ROM mismatch, but all the ROM's I've been using since this started are the kernel included with the ROM and no customizations. I've done the ViperUU, I've re-flashed firmware. Wiped absolutely everything, except external sdcard. Sometimes it will run for a few hours before it starts again, and sometimes it start rebooting immediately. I'm at the end of my knowledge of what other steps to take. Those of you with mad skills, I petition your expertise please!

Agreed. I would RUU with the most recent OTA and go from there. If you're S-off you'll still be S-off once you run the RUU. Afterwards, I'd stay stock for a few days and see how the phone acts. If the issue persists you most likely have a hardware issue somewhere. If everything runs okay afterwards you can unlock your bootloader again, install a custom recovery and flash a ROM.

Posting results as promised. The HTC RUU seems to have fixed the problem, haven't had a reboot since the RUU 3 days now. However during this process I was without a phone for 6 days, I picked up an LG G2. This phone kicks. Got it at Best Buy out the door for $48, CRAZY cheap for such a phone. I guess I'll be getting rid of my EVO.

Hit the top link in my sig and go to the section on RUU's. At the bottom of the first post I have links to all applicable RUU's for the EVO LTE. Easiest thing would be to run one of them if you want to get back to stock. If you want to go back to being S-on and stock, use VipeRUU.

Using the VipeRUU was supper easy and quick. Back to stock off to sell.:good:
Not a problem. Just remember that the RUU is run from your computer. Connect your phone and PC via USB cable, and once the connection is complete double-click the RUU file to start the installer. You may need to install HTC Sync so that you have the proper drivers installed on your computer. It takes about 10-15 minutes for the RUU to run, so be patient. VipeRUU is a little bit different. When you double-click the file to start the process, it will bring up a menu with options in it for you to choose from. It's pretty straightforward, though.
I've run VipeRUU a few times, but the bootloader stays unlocked. Anyone have any suggestions to get it back to a "Locked" state? I'm S-OFF, HBOOT 2.09.

I don't believe that will work being S-off (I've tried it before just for kicks and it didn't do anything). Even if it did, the bootloader would show the tampered and unlocked warning.

To run the RUU from Windows 7 64 bit, be sure to install latest HTC sync manager and connect phone to finalize driver installation. Then try again.

I assumed that if the phone rooted and adb and fastboot work than the drivers were installed? Some times the ruu comes up and ask me to install with recomended settings

Also, if your bootloader is already unlocked, you will have to relock it for RUU to work.

if it is of any concern my s-on shows RL after it?
Why don't you just do the RUU back to factory stock and try it from the beginning? It seems like it might save you some time over trying to troubleshoot what is actually wrong.
Try rumrunner again. That's what finally worked for me one time. Rumrunner didn't take the first time and it didn't make a difference running it a second or third time. Firewater didn't work either, but I had success when I went back to rumrunner.
My worthless theory is that, for whatever reason, RR wasn't able to complete a specific critical step, but that FW was able to handle it. But then FW encountered issues on a subsequent step. Going back to RR worked because, this time, FW already took care of the task that RR couldn't do the first time around.
Of course I don't have a stack of evo's sitting around waiting to be s-offed, so I didn't get much of a chance to test my theory. I seem to remain s-off now even after ruu.
Remember to wipe well. It will help prevent a stinky ROM as well as awkward social situations.
I ruu to the one that had sence 5 and then rooted and ran Firewater (2 TIMES) and I'm good! Thank you for all your help
