[Q] EVO 3D GSM (Mi China) Just wont ROOT or s-off - HTC EVO 3D

Hi there,
Developers, gonna be developers and android noobs
I got a small issue with mu EVO 3d GSM...
Firstly Id like to apologize if this has been asked...
Problem: I need to get past BOOTLOADER BLOCK !!!
Before you carry on reading -
Bought this phone online, from China, Original HTC!!! but with 1 or 2 chinese apps installed, Android 2.3.4...
This was standard when I first entered bootloader (out of the box)
***LOCKED***
SHOOTER_U PVT SHIP S-OFF RH
HBOOT-1.49.0012
RADIO-10.13.9020.08_2M
eMMC-boot
What is suprising is it needed to say Locked and s-on...
So I wanted to root and s-off...
Tried Revolutionary... Everything ran well, after 2nd reboot into bootloader, error - Communications between phone and PC has been interrupted
After that I retried and it said - 'Your device is already s-off' then it wanted to download and install CWM Recovery 4.0.142 Revolutionary...
HTCDEV - Step 13 didnt happen, it just stayed on the normal bootloader screen (in Fastboot USB)
Flashed a earlier version of HBOOT (1.49.007) before Revolutionary ROOT method(revolutionary didnt support HBOOT 1.49.0012), i noticed everytime i 'completed' revolutionary method with error, my HBOOT changed to 1.49.1107 for some reason, IDK
Now my bootloader setup is:
***Revolutionary***
SHOOTER_U PVT SHIP S-OFF RH
HBOOT-1.49.1107
RADIO-10.13.9020.08_2M
eMMC-boot
In CWM Recovery - I flashed SU.zip, it removed /bin and /xbin, and wanted to start copying or rooting file and then showed an error msg 'installation aborted', booted into ROM and SU app requested SU access???
BTW... downloaded and tried 3 RUU's all 3 for 3d of course and all 3 gave the same error - MODEL ID ERROR (i need the correct model) and in fastboot...
Use same Rev code : fastboot flash unlocktoken Unlcok_code.bin
Half the time it is done successfully but with no disclaimer screen (stays on fastboot) and changes hboot to 1107
OR
Gives error (Remote : Partition no avaiblable) or (Remote : not allowed)
Try fastboot oem lock, Doesnt lock and same result as messioned above and every now and then it says loading custom splash sceen failed, htc disclaimer screen???
If anyone has had this problem or similar, please help, I would really appreciate it
Thnks in advance!!!

I have CDMA but ill still try to help. Have you tried flashing a new rom thru recovery?

you went about this all wro
ng... first off you need to install the stock rom with the correct bootloader , to do that you first download the correct RUU that has the old bootloader version, .0012,run that ruu and and make sure the phone is plugged up and in fastbootusb mode
this should get you hboot back to stock....
if it does you should see it say **LOCKED** up at the top
next step is to unlock your bootloader first...youre already s-off so you dont need to tun REV's tool you need to just unlock your boot loader
after you do this and go back to rerooting your phone you should be ok and able to flash your butt off

[Q] Need help with revolutionary s-off error during bootloader reboots.

Hi, I need a bit of help. I have downgraded from 1.49.0012 to 1.49.0007. I then ran htcdev tool to unlock. All this worked perfectly. When i follow steps for revolutionary s-off, enter beta key ok - phone reboots to bootloader, i keep running into same error:
Waiting for fastboot...
Rebooting to fastboot (again)...
Rebooting to fastboot (yet again)...
Rebooting to fastboot (Once moar...)
FAILED - Go have some lemonade!
Press (almost) any key to exit.
My bootloader still shows: shooter_u PVT SHIP S-ON RL still unlocked and 1.49.0007.
I got my phone from expansys, i think it is from Taiwan. Can anyone help me with this error. Thanks

[Q] Trying to flash clockworknod recovery 5.0.2.8

Hoping someone can give some pointers.
I am trying to flash clockworkmod recovery 5.0.2.8 to my newly rooted (verified) Legend phone.
LEGEND PVT SHIP S-OFF
HBOOT-1.01.0000
When I use the S-ON method I get a verification error, when I use the S-OFF method I get FAILED <remote: not allowed>
Seems to me something might still be locked or perhaps the wrong version of HBOOT. Thing is when I went to the HTCdev site to unlock the boot loader it told me my model was incorrect. My phone tells me the software number is 3.20.666.1 and model number is HTC Legend. When I download the RUU from HTCdev it wants to upgrade the software to 3.30.xxx.x but when I run that RUU it tells me the model number is incorrect (it's looking for a PXXXXXX number). So after doing a bit of research (my first android phone since crackberry addiction) I discovered that my Legend was already S-OFF (security off) so I figured the bootloader was already unlocked when I got the phone refurbished and unlocked. So I ran the unlockroot utility then verified the root with root checker, installed superuser and titanium backup. Everythibng seems fine and I have full root access.
But I am stuck trying to flash clockworknod recovery, can anyone help?
Well, I guess I am going to try to find a way to upgrade my HBOOT to 1.02 and see if that helps. I saw some post in this forum about taking a rom.img file from the RUU download temp folder so I will research that further.
If anyone has any pointers don't hesitate to chime in.

SOLVED : never asked for help -till now

I just bought this flyer 3G version It was working with 2.3.4 when i bought it.
I've searched the entire XDA forum ,modaco and loads of the other sites. Been attempting this for 4 hours straight x 3nights in a row.
I've managed to get Bootloader unlock via HTCdev but still on S-ON because my hboot is 1.11.011 Flashed the Paul obriens modified HC boot 11.11.0011 image. I got revolution CWM and i can get into it but now suddenly fail to adb into it.
FLYER PVT SHI{P

I think my flyer is in limbo.
CID=044 which is the HTC Asia WWE one.
I tried: Installing some custom ROM's as soon as i achieved bootloader unlocked. Tried the latest LOeeDroid etc. BUT they all fail at the HTC boot screen. Even after waiting for 10 mins. Yes I did extract the boot.img and flashed via fastboot due to s-on but still stuck at HTC boot logo.
Ran the RUU's directly from fastboot mode (i just double clicked on the exe from my PC) -HTC Asia WWE . but they all fail on installtion/ signature. RUU_Flyer_hTC_Asia_WWE_1.48.707.4_Radio_20.3501.30 .089BU_3809.05.04.10_M_release_193927_signed RUU_Flyer_hTC_Asia_WWE_2.27.707.1_Radio_20.3504.30 .089BU_3809.07.04.06_M_release_204905_signed RUU_Flyer_hTC_Asia_WWE_2.27.707.2_Radio_20.3504.30 .089BU_3809.07.04.06_M_release_219276_signed
i tried the rom.zip extraction and renamed it to PG411MG.zip with the hope of the bootloader detecting and running it - it tried to install but failed -signature. I created a goldcard but not used this method yet as i had to format it and now i cant even connect to the PC -its as if it cant detect the device. I will try a ROM that is similar to my radio . But i cant connect to the Flyer -(adb- device not found)
Please help - ill gladly donate to a working solution. I dont know what else to do. I just want to get android working again passing the horrid HTC boot logo. i dont mind stock etc just need my flyer to work.
Been ROMing since HD2
UPDATE: SOLVED
none of the stock RUU I tried installing was successful because I had Unlocked the Bootloader.
All I needed to do was' fastboot oem lock' and it relocked. RUU will only install on locked bootloaders.
While still in fastboot I ran the RUU from my PC and it worked. Installing while tears of joy rolled down my tired eyes.
So I'm now on an older hboot and achieved S-off,rooted and made my flyer into a phone + Bluetooth.
Flash the stock rom
Get a guide on xda about it... Urs any flashing software and u will b alr9
Click THANKS button if I helped, or u liked my post.
Will be honored.

Now, Ive got a similar problem,
HBoot
1.58.5858 Jpbear
Unlocked
So I flashed the RUU_Shooter_U_TWM_TW_1.23.921.5_Radio_10.55.9020.00_10.13.9020.29_M_release_207920_signed.exe, it was the closest I could find with HBoot 1.49.0012 and gb 2.3.4...
Okay, np it flashed it with no problems... but little did I know, I lost root, bootloader relocked with disclaimer screen and lost s-off... Im buggered
So after messing around including almost bricking my phone, flashing new hboots, trying htcdev unlock with rogers, EMEA and sprint, no luck...
The only result is it showing the disclaimer screen (as mentioned in 1st boot attempt) that i cant select yes...
I tried flashing recovery, however when I flash recovery, it either hangs with HTC screen for a min or two then reboots or just hangs there forever...
Somewhere along the line I tried booting into Android and it jut boot in fastboot, for some unknown reason it also didnt pickup the PG86IMG.zip file I had on, it actually didnt pickup and PG86IMG files???
I also came across writesecureflag 3 in fastboot, gave it a try and it gave me a ***security warning***...
After that, I coud flash a PG86IMG but when I tried the htcdev unlock, I select ye, no response, removed battery and it said ***unlocked***, but when I flash a recovery, it flashes recovery in cmd but cant boot into it or it just doesnt flash onto the phone???
Somehow in between all of this I could get past the "yes" in unlock bootloader which was pure luck of the joy of the moment made me forget what I did before, I also tried flashing these RUU's
RUU_SHOOTER_U_ICS_35_S_HTC_Europe_3.28.401.1_Radio_11.77.3504.00U_11.25.3504.06_M_release_262714_signed

When booted in TWN-TW RUU, I could install Rom manager and flash CWM through that but through fastboot, it didnt boot through it
fastboot flash recovery recovery.img
fastboot boot recovery.img
RESULT: hangs on htc screen for a min or 2 then reboot into OS
Now im currrently on Asia ICS, hboot jbear 1.58.5858, htc recovery...
And in want of root, s-off, and most important able to Unlock Bootloader by selecting yes with a response,
please ANY help would be of use
thnx in advance
Its not much but will have a small paypal reward for those who helped (btw it will prob help others aswel)

wow, you got a used or refurbished 3d which was already s-off. if you had posted before doing anything ,all you needed to do was flash a recovery and flash su zip. When you have s-off with custom hboot, like you had, you cannot unlock through htcdev and you don't have to. S-off with custom hboot means you can already flash any hboot ,recovery,Rom ,kernel or any mods.
You never needed HTC dev unlock.
you said.you are s-on with jbear.hboot? I.don't think.that's possible ,.check again if it's s-off or s-on . If it's s-on then it cannot be jbear.
You never lost s-off when you ran the RUU, you lost s-off by running the write secureflag command . It was your luck you were on stock.hboot , if you were on custom one,your evo 3d was dead for sure. Now flash the RUU that is made for your phone. then follow instructions from unlimited.io or ramjet73's thread , flash recovery then su zip. If you want another Rom you can directly flash that Rom without su.
Again, you never needed the htcdev. But now you will need it for the wire trick.
Thnx for responding, u made my day xD

So, okay, I messed around abit more, not as if I could do any further damage besides bricking LOL
So this is my position and will leave it till next response...
***Relocked*** (can unlock, relock np because of s-on, if s-off, I cant, it just hangs after selecting yes, no response)
HBoot 1.49.0012
I have fastboot and OS access,
cant flash recovery or zip, etc, can change cid
Hboot doesnt read PG86IMG.zip files at all,
Goes through PG86... list, hangs 2 sec on PG86IMG.zip, says checking or parsing PG86IMG.zip for less than a sec then 'cancels', goes to hboot screen
Rev tool does not work
1st attempt - (1st line)Zerging root...
result- Cannot aquire root
for 2nd consecutive to 3,4,5,etc attempt
- goes to 2nd line in rev tool,
result gives error Communications with phone stopped,
When flashing recovery, it flashes perfectly, when fastboot boot recovery.img or hboot>recovery, hangs for a while then reboots
So flashing files through fastboot is a no go (generally gives error > remote:not allowed)
Thus conclusion, im considering the downgrade/unbrick method but It doesnt pickup and PG86IMG files (check exact speeling p.s. have done this alot)
I did a day ago aquire root, 4ext recovery but wanted unlock boot loader, so s-on, the only way to unlock, then got myself to this delema, stupid I know :silly:
So if you have any tricks up your sleeve, let me know please and thnx

Droid in trouble. I need help with my HTC Desire HD

Hello everyone. I'm really new here. So I've tried the method in this article: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2221039
to root my HTC Desire HD
I was able to get my bootloader unlocked,a goldcard SD Card and installed the ROM indicated in the article. After finishing the installation, I turned it on and it got stuck on HTC Logo. At first I was able to get into RECOVERY in the HBoot, now I'm only able to get into bootloader and nothing else. I'm not able to go to RECOVERY AND FACTORY RESET anymore, the screen just goes black after choosing it. Though I'm still capable of connecting my device in the computer at fastboot usb, but adb isn't running.

It was in a stock Android 2.3.5 (Gingerbread) before trying to flash it. This is my first time trying to root the device.
Android Version-2.3.5 HTC Sense Version-3.0
Software Number 3.14.15.17
Kernel Version 2.6.35.10 [email protected]#1
Baseband Version 12.65.60.29U_26.14.04.28_M
Please help me. I don't know what to do anymore. Some other methods I've are really just confusing when the instructions says that the device needs to be rooted, in order for it to be rooted.
You never finished the guide you linked or you skipped some major steps as you still have security flags turned on (s-on)
adb will never work in bootloader, only in is or recovery - in bootloader use fastboot.
Being youre still s-on you will need to flash kernel through fastboot
Unzip the ROM you flashed and extract boot.img
fastboot flash boot boot.img
fastboot reboot
