Hey im new to the fourms but i have a HTC evo 3d on the Sprint network. I am unlocked S-On hboot 1.58 with MeanRom ( the latest) i am suffering from a boot loop. The screen boots i see the ring and then black screen back to HTC and restarts process. I am in way to over my head. Can anyone tell me if i can put a stock rom back on and it will fix boot loop or i heard about relock but don't know how to do it. Ive rooted other devices and jail broken devices but never had a problem like this. Help is much appreciated. Thanks
edit: I used a video on youtube but cant post the link :/
ClockWorkMod Recovery was used in it so i think i have it still.
I have tried the factory reset from the boot menu (power + vol down)

Don't panic tanker, lol I can help you out with this. Here is the reasons behind your boot loop
Your recovery,
Your hboot
Your kernel
Let me elaborate. Cwm has been known to cause lots of problem with evo3d flashing latest twrp or 4ext recovery is recommended. Highly for 4ext. Now before I explain about hboot and kernel, currently you are a s-on user. What that means is that you only have access to certain partitions in the nand memory. System, data, and recovery. That leaves radios and boot partition( that's where your kernel sits) inaccessible through normal recovery means. Anytime you flash a ROM inside of recovery, you phone can't flash the kernel that came with it. So in actuality, your still on stock kernel with mean ROM.
Now for the solution. Your in a endless boot loop with your phone so you will have to download 4ext recovery for your phone and place the recovery image in your fastboot directory. Hook your phone up to the computer and run the command fastboot flash recovery "whatever the name of recovery"img . Boot into recovery and navigate to tools directory. Scroll down and turn on smart flash. This feature will allow you to flash kernels within recovery for s-on users. Wioe everything and flash your ROM again.
Now as for your kernel. Hboot 1.58 is only compatible with ICS stock kernels. That's the main point of your problem. What you will need to do is navigate to the meanrom folder and select the 2.89 kernel and flash it. Your phone should be able to boot up properly after that.
If that doesn't work, you could also try the first step of Ramjet's thread. That will get you back to stock and hopefully not bootlooping. Then if you continue the steps, you'll be s-off which makes flashing easier. See: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1889438

Funny. No you cannot make up file names, or commands...
First of all you need fastboot application. Save it to c:/fastboot folder.
1. Open CMD, type cd fastboot to enter fastboot folder
2. Type : fastboot flash recovery recovery.img (where recovery.img is the name of your recovery choice weather it is TWRP, 3eXT, or CWM.
I am currently using 4eXT, which I switched to from TWRP
And that's it after its done you should have a flashed recovery on your EVO 3D
Maybe I should add that the "recovery.img" file HAS to be inside c:/fastboot folder.
Good luck. If that doesn't fix it, or if you need any recovery images that worked on my phone, POST

restore rom
When you flashed rom did u make back up cause you could always restore old rom. And you could try flashing the right kernel but most of the time it cause you have to flash boot image that worked for me in trying flash cm 10.1 and I keep get bootloops my self try figure this one out. Same hboot 1.58 2.89 base

Give me a bit mire info on this. I can help for sure. The evo3d is a pita but we can get it. So basically if I understand, you're stock rooted but have s-on and im assuming all roms are bootlooping?

Yes, that's were I am at this point. Right now I've got MeanRom booting to the homescreen seems like it's going to work, but the time is wrong and there's no service, before it can completely boot, bam, shuts down and reboots.
It does the same for the stock Sprint ROM.
Unfortunately I didn't make a backup of the phone when I gor it so I'm using a downloaded one.
I had Meanrom running on another 3D not too long ago, but don't remember it being this troublesome. What did I miss?

Ok well the first thing you need to do is downgrade your hboot to v 1.49000. I posted a link on the first page. If you were stock you coukd get s-off via the wire trick
But since you're s-on you need to flash the boot.img in fastboot and then flash the rom or vise versa. I cant remember which one needs to be done first as its been a while since I've used my evo3d. Basically anything thats ics and above cant be flashed unless you downgrade your hboot. Htc sent a hidden hboot ota to you at some point without your knowledge to prevent you from flashing. So downgrading your hboot is your #1 priority and you need to get back to stock to get s-off too

Using the wrong ROM!! Got it to boot using MeanRom ICS. Thanks!
Can I get S-OFF with MeanRom flashed? Or do I need to flash a rooted stock ROM?

I did basically the same thing a few days ago (I think). Have you seen Hasoon's toolkit? Install and open it and under the links section go for the stock RUU. Download and run it and all should be well.

Here's a link for the toolkit:
http://d-h.st/users/hasoon2000/?fld_id=7459#files
Download and install it, and then click on the RUU link. I know how you must be feeling man...it sucks to be the proud owner of a new $700 paperweight. From what I gather without S-OFF (which as far as I know isn't possible yet on the One X+) it's incredibly rare to completely brick a phone...so don't lose hope
Personally, I would go here http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2094118 and download the ruu that is applicable to your phone, then I would use hassons toolkit to relock your bootloader. Then boot phone into fastboot adb, and just run the ruu. I have seen it take two runs to work at times, but I've never seen a true brick. As long as the something lights up when you plug it in, ruu's will save you. then just start all over with unlock bootloader, root, flash recovery, and the rom of your choice.
Since HTC ONE X+ is still S-ON it is barely impossible to brick.
If you can reach bootloader (fastboot mode) then simply flash the correspondant Recovery, clear cache (fasboot erase cache) then unplug your USB cable press on Power button one time, Volume down one time time to select Recovery and validate by Power again, your phone should reboot in Recovery.

How do you flash an RUU?
I have the same Problem. An RUU is an .exe file. You only have to run it.
My Problem is that the battery is under 30% and i dont have any idea why its not charging
Did this get resolved, the RUU is an exe not a zip hasoon asks for a zip?
Can someone guide me please?

I too kinda bricked my hox+ evitareul i have cwm installed but my partitions are all formatted and cwm cannot mount system data or cache and adb side load won't work because of the partitions being erased...i unlocked at htc dev then flashed cwm in fast boot but i did it on a mac so i think thats what messed it up...when the recovery flashed it also formatted the partitions...idk why...Hboot can't scan for anything i get "can't mount usb master system" in hoot...recovery works fine but i can't flash anything...going to try a rue to get me back hopefully...Do you guys think it will fix me in my case? if it can fix me it definitely can help you^^^
It's probably not charging because your recovery might not support offline charging...I charged my hox+ by letting it boot into system even though there was no Rom...if you look closely when it boots the screen will dim and so will the red led in the speaker...when it dims it means it's charging and this works no matter what recovery or Rom you have but your screen will display HTC the entire time it's charging...took me about 45 minutes to get above 30% then I flashed the sense 5 rUU and now I'm back lol...hope I helped

Hello first let me introduce myself, my problem and a solotion.
My name is Mate and my HTC Evo 3d got stuck in a bootloop with acces only to bootloader.
I know a lot of people had this problem and the solution is really simple yet can be confusing for most of new members of the XDA community.
So let's start :
Problem:
Evo 3d stuck in boot loop with only bootloader available. Most of the times faulty custom rom or custom recovery is source of this. Don't panic (yet
Solution and the things I've tried reading this forums:
Some people recommend locking back your bootloader and flashing back to RUU for your device over fastboot command ( haven't worked for me) still got the HTC logo loop thing.
I have tried flashing lots of custom recoveries. The one that started problems was the TWRP 2.4.4.0 touch recovery which has brilliant design but isn't working for me.
I tried flashing 4ext and it haven't worked I tried TWRP again and it haven't worked.
What worked was recovery-clockwork-5.0.2.0-shooteru.img which I downloaded from CWM official site.
To flash a new recovery simple put your mode in bootloader fastboot usb mode and flash it with cmd.
In command prompt enter this code: fastboot flash recovery nameofrecovery.img
Important information: recovery-clockwork-5.0.2.0-shooteru.img doesn't charge your phone in recovery mode so please charge your phone in case it doesn't work and you want to switch to another recovery.
I hope this post will help people to fix their bootloop errors. I'll edit this post later to make it more readable I'm writing this now fast just because i found the solution and want to share it with community.
Good luck

Proceed with caution when using CWM recovery on the Evo 3D. Not only does USB charging not work, earlier versions of CWM are known to brick the phone if you try to format the SD card. Koush, the developer, may have that fixed in the latest release but it seems that in general CWM isn't tested as well on the Evo 3D as it is on other devices.
There are known issues with recent TWRP releases that were supposed to be fixed in the version you were using, but IMO 4EXT is the most reliable of all the recoveries available for the Evo 3D.

I suspect that the custom recovery wasn't the real cause of your problem and it could have been resolved using 4EXT or TWRP.

Yes I'm aware of CWM problems. The thing is each tiem i flashed 4ext or TWRP recovery I got stuck again in bootloop. The problem started when I wanted to flash yoda's custom rom with TWRP. I flashed it before with CWM, 4ext without any problem.
The thing is only cwm managed to boot back into recovery from bootloader all others failed. I'll go back to 4ext agains since im not a fan of cwm because they haven't implemented usb charging on evo 3d. If someone found other custom recovery that worked please post it here
Hi mate,
I've got a problem, my friend gave his sprint evo 3d, it has a same problem.. Only bootloader available.. I was tryin a couple method, but return with no luck.. I'm gonna this method tomorrow morning since i have those files you mentioned on my pc.. So i just want to make clear that this method you shared here is only for cdma? If yes I'll give a try..

Actually I'm on GSM version of the phone but I don't see reason not working for you if you use recovery for cdma version.
So what have I done in order: First I locked bootloader tried RUU and it haven't worked for me it might for you. I have tried multiple combinations of buttons. Sometimes i would get to recovery screen but it would last only for split second than i was again in a boot loop. After that I have unlocked my bootloader with HTC dev site. Flashed Cwm and it worked. If you have problems with charging your phone in bootloader there is a trick with .bat file that you insert into sdk/platform-tools folder and you run it there. It restarts your phone every 6 seconds so your phone can charge for few seconds without screen taking energy. But lets hope you don't get to that part
Im crossing fingers for you

So you managed to flash but it's still stuck in bootloop?
Have you tried locking your bootloader and flashing RUU?

Hi all,
Since short I cannot start my DX anymore. It boots automatically into the bootloader (fastboot).
When I open recovery it stucks on the opening recovery screen.
When I flash a new recovery it keeps the same problem (already tried 4 of all the available).
When I do fastboot erase cache it still doesn't work.
The ROM is corrupt so that doesn't start too.
I have an unlocked S-Off phone with hboot 25.002 .
could somebody please help me?
I had same problem. The thing is that because you are S-off you must have flashed wrong rom for your hboot and that messed up the internal partitions.
I have also tried every solution you can think of but eventually the only fix was that I sent it to service. It was in waranty and they replaced the motherboard.
downgrade hboot, install ics-ruu and start from scratch.
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2667156
Damn!
I have removed my s-off because I thought it wasn't neccesary. Also the commands gave me errors.
But god no, ofcourse it was neccesary, it was a s-off thread.
Now I'm stuck..
Is there any way, or does it really have to be repaired?
Damn, that wasn't smart at all.
so your phone is S-ON now?
and your bootloader is locked/relocked?
no wonder nothing works...
just repeat the unlock-procedure at htcdev and you should be able to flash a custom recovery again.
Download windroid HTC desire x toolkit and install it on Windows pc. connect your phone in fastboot and install twrp recovery. Hope this will work.

Hey all,
I have this HTC EVO 3D that just, refuses to co-operate with me.
Story goes -
Got it on ICS and everything was working fine on it. I looked for updates available and it found a 28MB update that I installed and once the phone rebooted with the update, the camera fails to start and the touch screen just starts going crazy and opening everything, whereas before it fine.
So, I attempted to try and get it back to Gingerbread.
And googled and googled and googled.
Reason why I have opened a new thread is cause it's sort of everything going weird with it.
Of course, trying RUU files and trying to flash RUU in zip failed so on so forth.
I had unlocked the Bootloader and S-ON is on at this point. Also had CWM recovery installed and was able to boot into that.
With this in place, I read up on the wire trick and thought, yeah it seems a bit hard, I'll take it to a phone repair shop, where they had the phone for 2 weeks and told me that it was S-OFF and back to stock.
Since they had it and I got it back, it's now stuck in a boot loop and I can not get into any recovery etc (With the original SD Card in it). Can get to Bootloader and fastboot though.
Spent the last 3 hours with about 20 tabs in Chrome opened on how to exactly go from here and I am stuck.
Got a Linux Laptop here and tried to ControlBear and it comes up with ADB and Fastboot not found (Directory points to it being in tmp..no idea)
TL;DR
HTC Evo 3D (Australian Variant, was running ICS Telstra OEM)
Unlocked Bootloader
SHOOTER_U PVT SHIP S-ON RL
HBOOT-1.53.0007
eMMC-boot
Radio - 11.25.3504.16 M
Boot Loops, No Recovery, Fastboot commands work on windows.
So just wondering, where do I go from here. I don't know if the device is completely bricked now or if it can be saved.
(I tried a number of zip files on the SD Card (PG86IMG.zip) and nothing due to having S-ON.
Hoping someone can provide a procedure or point me in the right direction.
As reference, I used this thread mostly before it was taken to the Repair Shop and got stuffed.
Any help is appreciated.
Thanks so much.

Hello my friend, the reason you can't load the pg86img is because you have unlocked bootloader. The fastboot commands could help us a lot, did you follow the controlbear instructions in the correct order? I think there is a way through windows with exe files I don't remember well because I did S-OFF 3years+ before. If you want we can try together some time. If you want for start we can flash 4ext recovery and a custom rom so your phone can boot.

The fastboot commands could help us a lot, did you follow the controlbear instructions in the correct order? I think there is a way through windows with exe files I don't remember well because I did S-OFF 3years+ before. If you want we can try together some time. If you want for start we can flash 4ext recovery and a custom rom so your phone can boot.

Hi there, I didn't know with having the bootloader unlocked that it would cause any issues, but there you go!
Yeah, if there's a guide to flashing the 4EXT Recovery and a custom rom that would be great!
I have a fair idea of how to do it, but don't want to try anything without having someone of greater knowledge point me in the right direction
Thanks!
Just an update, I did come across a thread to flash 4EXT Recovery onto my Evo 3D.
Put Recovery.img into my platform-tools folder, used the fastboot command, it said sending and OK.
Selected recovery and still boot loops. No idea where to go from here now

Sorry for being late, I had some problems with my internet connection. Can you boot into recovery? Power button + Vol- and choose recovery, if you can boot tell me first which version you have and second what type of rom you want to have.

Hey there,
That's OK, I don't mind the wait, it's all good!
I can boot into Fastboot, but when I choose recovery/factory reset etc, it shows the HTC Logo and then goes into a bootloop.
As for the ROM, I want to get the original GB ROM for it because when I updated it to the latest ICS that's when the camera and touch started to get weird, whereas beforehand it was fine.
So thinking, if I go back down to GB Stock, that it should be all fine again, but I am not too sure on that one.
Thanks!

Well, we have to downgrade the hboot version first. Did you do the wire trick procedure right? You can download a pg86img and flash it first to fix the bootloops. First lock the bootloader. When you finish this report here. I have to sleep it's late here and I work early. I'll send you tomorrow. See you.

Ok, the technician I took the phone to supposedly did the wire trick for S-OFF, but, it's still S-ON.
I have downloaded a lot of stock PG86IMG files before posting on here and none work, they scan when in bootloader and then nothing after that.
But that would be because I haven't locked the bootloader. So in saying this, I lock the bootloader following steps on many forum posts on here, then flash a .zip file that's correct and then it should all work?
I'll wait for your response, thanks!

I do not think that the wire trick procedure was correct because you are still s on. Lock the bootloader and try to load the zip.

Hey, so I tried a P86IMG.zip from this thread here - http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2274635
I couldn't find another one and with that I get an error "Main Version Fail" or "Main Version Check Fail".
I then tried RUU and RUU in zip format.
RUU comes back with wrong bootloader error. (I couldn't find an RUU that matched my radio version so I went with the nearest one)
RUU Zip comes back through fastboot with "remote 43 main version check fail"
Also I tried to do the Wire Trick and got stuck at the "ADB and Fastboot not found" even though the files are there and the phone is connected.
So still a little bit...stuck :\
Also relocked bootloader it just says relocked now.
If you need any other additional info I can send screenshots of what it's at.
Thanks!

Did you try flashing the zip after the locking? You are doing the wire trick procedure on live linux cd?

Yes, tried flashing the zip after locking. Live CD is being used also. I will try again later. Thanks!

If you want we can do the procedure together some time. Keep in mind that you have to unlock again. We can search for the windows version too.

Oh that would be extremely helpful, I can use Linux, but prefer my Windows PC as it has all the files and it's just easier.
Thanks so much!

So update -
DK sent me the windows version of ControlBear via PM - thank you.
Have an unlocked bootloader.
I tried ControlBear, and because I can not boot into the OS, I start it at Fastboot USB, it reboots, then says "Connecting to Device", then "Testing ADB connection" then "Press Enter To Exit" and that's it, can't do anything else from there, and it gets stuck in the boot loop that it still has.
Tried again to google for methods for HBOOT 1.53, and am trying some of those methods, but it's not looking good at all.
I haven't even got to the stage where it asks me to do any sort of wire trick.
Also my battery in the EVO 3D has died so am using a battery out of a HTC MyTouch 4G with help from electrical tape :\
So now, any suggestions? I am trying to flash another RUU that's stock for my Radio (Well, it's close enough - RUUs are both 11.25.3504.06, mine is 11.25.3504.16)
EDIT: Tried all RUUs with relocked bootloader and comes back with bootloader error (ERROR 140). So, no idea.
Also it's scanning for PG86DIAG.img files on the SD Card - that's not normal is it.
Do you think we should give up on it, it's probably hard bricked and dead now
I think it's literally hard bricked and no way to bring it back from the dead.
As per my original post, all the details for the phone are there. And it sucks that I can't find a correct RUU for my phone (As it was Telstra AU - latest update of ICS)
AHH I don't know.

First of all you should be unlocked now with 1.53 hboot. Download from here the latest 4ext recovery (4EXT_Recovery_Touch_v1.0.0.6_RC3)
It's in my mega account don't worry about malicious software I downloaded it 5 minutes before doing this post. If you don't have unlocked your bootloader do it with the tokens HTC sent you in your email. Flash this recovery from fastboot (fastboot flash recovery "recoveryname".img). After that remove the battery and re-enter fastboot mode (Vol down+power button) and choose recovery. If you manage to boot into recovery from there tell me to send you a link for a rom to flash. I don't believe its a hard brick.

Hey there, thanks for the help again, unfortunately, still didn't work.
I unlocked the bootloader again. Then tried to flash what you said, it said "writing" then "successful". I pulled the battery and tried to boot into recovery and just loops

Try doing:
fastboot erase recovery
fastboot flash recovery "recovery".img
fastboot format system
fastboot format boot
And if it still doesn't let me send you a boot.img in some minutes to try flashing it.
EDIT: And something last, you can still do the controlbear trick while not in OS, its easy if you wanna try let me know.

Hey all,
I have this HTC EVO 3D that just, refuses to co-operate with me.
Story goes -
Got it on ICS and everything was working fine on it. I looked for updates available and it found a 28MB update that I installed and once the phone rebooted with the update, the camera fails to start and the touch screen just starts going crazy and opening everything, whereas before it fine.
So, I attempted to try and get it back to Gingerbread.
And googled and googled and googled.
Reason why I have opened a new thread is cause it's sort of everything going weird with it.
Of course, trying RUU files and trying to flash RUU in zip failed so on so forth.
I had unlocked the Bootloader and S-ON is on at this point. Also had CWM recovery installed and was able to boot into that.
With this in place, I read up on the wire trick and thought, yeah it seems a bit hard, I'll take it to a phone repair shop, where they had the phone for 2 weeks and told me that it was S-OFF and back to stock.
Since they had it and I got it back, it's now stuck in a boot loop and I can not get into any recovery etc (With the original SD Card in it). Can get to Bootloader and fastboot though.
Spent the last 3 hours with about 20 tabs in Chrome opened on how to exactly go from here and I am stuck.
Got a Linux Laptop here and tried to ControlBear and it comes up with ADB and Fastboot not found (Directory points to it being in tmp..no idea)
TL;DR
HTC Evo 3D (Australian Variant, was running ICS Telstra OEM)
Unlocked Bootloader
SHOOTER_U PVT SHIP S-ON RL
HBOOT-1.53.0007
eMMC-boot
Radio - 11.25.3504.16 M
Boot Loops, No Recovery, Fastboot commands work on windows.
So just wondering, where do I go from here. I don't know if the device is completely bricked now or if it can be saved.
(I tried a number of zip files on the SD Card (PG86IMG.zip) and nothing due to having S-ON.
Hoping someone can provide a procedure or point me in the right direction.
As reference, I used this thread mostly before it was taken to the Repair Shop and got stuffed.
Any help is appreciated.
Thanks so much.
