Hi guys,
Bought a Evo 3D second hand... GSM version.
Got it home, had a custom stock rom on it and had Revolutionary Recovery on it.
I flashed a MIUI rom to it and have been using that fine for a few months, now i have come to install a different rom and it installs fine but won't boot. It either stays on the bootscreen forever or just reboot cycles the phone.
Now the bootloader is unlocked but it doesn't have S-OFF.
I think i need to S-OFF to flash the roms correctly.
Here's whats on it:
Rom: MIUI v2.10.26
Baseband: 11.77.3504.00U_11.25.3504.06_M
HBOOT: 1.53.0007
Recovery: 4EXT recovery
HBOOT says:
*** UNLOCKED ***
SHOOTER_U PVT SHIP S-ON RL
HBOOT-1.53.007
eMMC-BOOT

Just want to provide as much info as possible...
It would be fantastic if you could help me
Thanks
bump!

Lock your bootloader with the "fastboot oem lock" command and run the RUU again.

EDIT: Now says relocked in HBOOT gonna flash RUU
Flashed the stock RUU, now i'm trying to unlock the bootloader again via HTCDev.com and when i copy the Identifier Token it says its too short. I am pretty sure i'm copying it correctly
solved... There were spaces in the box
So i am now S-OFF, i need to downgrade my HBOOT still...
How do i do that?
Right, managed to downgrade the HBOOT but still, when i flash AOKP it stays on the splashscreen forever....

So my rezound is stuck in Hboot, only boots to Hboot. I tried the update yet again and this time it is really screwed up. I can't flash anything in adb commands/fastboot commands. My Hboot screen reads:

I tried re-flashing a different Hboot, that would not take. Could not flash recovery, and it fails every time I try to flash the RUU, either 3.14.605.12 0r the either of the new 4.xxx.xxx.xx.
Any help would be nice, Thanks
edit: When I try to flash firmware or RUU it starts to update, but it says Fail-PU next to everything. When I try to flash from command prompt it says image update error

Your hboot is not showing any radio???
Start fresh with a new download:
Go here: http://www.androidpolice.com/2012/0...ull-ruu-build-4-03-605-2-for-the-htc-rezound/ and download the latest RUU. Place it on your sd card, check MD5, and rename it to ph98img.zip . Reboot into bootloader and it should flash it.

Tried it and it did not work. Still Fail-PU next to everything. The only thing that is successful is #16 TP.
If you are reinstalling a Leak RUU you need to relock your bootloader.
troy7548 is right. Relock your bootloader and the latest RUU should flash fine (I'd do the most up-to-date one). Since you are S-OFF you don't need your BL unlocked. After you've gotten the RUU installed and everything boots, Delete the zip from your card then flash this firmware:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1843030
This will give you the latest firmware but re-enable fastboot commands on the locked S-OFF bootloader.

You could flash an ruu from bootloader since your s-off. Here's a link for a list of ruu pick the one that says ics shooter 35 s 2.89 1.09.00.0706 spcs wwe to that nature http://www.filefactory.com/f/4ef0ef536face67a/. Just remember to rename the file PG86IMG in all caps and place on the root of your sdcard. Power down your phone, and boot up into bootloader and let your phone detect the file and confirm to update. Next you might want to get a drink or something to eat. It'll take like 10 minutes. Hope that helps

No.
You need to issue the "fastboot oem writescureflag 3" command with the phone in fastboot USB mode after flashing the RUU to reset the S-OFF status to S-ON. Make sure you have the stock bootloader installed before you do that.

The .exe version of the RUU needs to be run from Windows. Make sure your phone is in the "fastboot usb" mode in the bootloader and the "fastboot devices" command returns your serial number before you run the RUU.
There's also a .zip version of the RUU around somewhere on these forums that can be run from the bootloader, but I don't have a link to that. It would be safer to extract it yourself from the RUU.exe using this procedure.

That's the stock bootloader, which was installed by the RUU. Most of the custom bootloaders (Revolutionary, Juopunutbear) have their name where the "*** LOCKED ***" status shows on your phone.

Remove/replace the battery and restart the bootloader and try flashing the RUU again. If that doesn't work you can try flashing the RUU.exe from Windows with the bootloader in "fastboot USB" mode.

one thing i have learned is when flashing roms, make sure you have the correct firmware package, and hboot.. because some Roms use the VM Firmware from the leak a few months back, while others use the Sprint Firmware, also depending on the base of the rom you may need to flash a newer or older hboot

That should be the same thing as long as the RUU.zip is extracted from the RUU.exe and properly signed.
But coal is right about needing the bootloader locked/relocked to flash the RUU if you are S-ON (which the OP said he is), regardless of whether you use the RUU.exe or RUU.zip.

I don't think so.
You really should try flashing an RUU (.exe or .zip) with radio S-ON and an unlocked bootloader before you advise other users to try that. If you can do that successfully I will admit I am wrong in this thread. Otherwise, please stop insisting that it will work.
You have been ignoring the fact that the OP is S-ON throughout this thread and that really isn't going to help him at all.

Thank you. I will make one last post just so people are clear on the requirements for flashing an RUU with S-ON.
Here's a quote from mpgrimm2's My Running stock RUU Reference info post:
Note 3: If you previously did the HTC Unlock, you'd have to "RELOCK" BEFORE running the RUU.
To do this from fastboot type: fastboot oem lock
Click to expand...
Click to collapse
That guide has been around for a long time on XDA and another website and it has been used by a lot of people, including myself. If that information was wrong, I'm sure mpgrimm2 would have corrected it by now.
If you want to flash an RUU with S-ON and an unlocked bootloader, make sure that you relock it before flashing or you will get an error.
ramjet73
wloftus, I'm not saying you're lying since as you said, you were the one who did it and you say it worked for you. But, if one is s-on and unlocked, the ruu will error out with error 155. I google searched ruu lock bootloader error and found many sites that say the bootloader must be locked if s-on (see below). But, if one wants to try while leaving the bootloader unlocked, then be my guest. If it works, great; if not, then relock the bootloader.

There's a thread here that discusses, but people seem to have used various methods to solve it from restarting the bootloader to reflashing their unlock token. That's why I recommended in my first post of this thread that you remove/replace the battery and restart the bootoader.

Hi
I am stuck on the bootloader, because:
- I unlocked via htcdev online
- installed CWM recovery
- I tried to install custom roms update-ics-yetki-1.0.zip LeeDrOiD-Flyer-V2.2.0.zip (unfortunately with s-on)
result: black screen on system boot, unable to go further than bootloader or recovery.
after relocking I tried to run :
RUU_Flyer_TMO_DE_2.27.111.1_Radio_20.3504.30.089BU_3809.07.04.06_M_release_204120_signed.exe
some errors on installing like 140, bootloader error
so I am not sure if this is the good RUU
before bricking my Flyer definitely I would like to know how can I know which is right RUU for my device to install?
The only information about my device I can get are those:
Flyer pvt ship S-ON RL
HBOOT 1.11.0011
MICROP - 0950
RADIO-3822.11.08.07M2

Oct 25 2011, 16:55:07
the device has (had) a T-Mobile (Germany) branding
cid: T-MOB101

anyone a clue?
Thank you
You MUST relock bootloader first in order to flash RUU!!!
Go to fastboot and enter: fastboot oem lock. Then try to install RUU. Nice unbricking!

of course... I relocked it but update utility gives me error 140....
somebody thinks it's because of incompatibility of flashing an older version on a newer one,
I don't know if that has something to do with kernel, radio, baseband or whatsoever....

Ok, the only way I found to solve was flashing a
rom.zip retrieved from temporary files after launching the HTC update utility, (RUU.exe)
from RUU_Flyer_HC_S_HTC_TUR_3.62.468.1
I renamed the rom .zip to PG41IMG.zip,
then copied it on a goldcard, prepared before...launched bootloader and so on...
that was the only one without errors that finally worked...
now trying to flash a custom rom, I need phone functions....which rom?...

Unroot Help
If you want to unroot, first find the Stock Hboot 1.58, then install it.
Then run the RUU for your device.
Lastly, in fastboot (adb), run "reboot bootloader" then run "fastboot oem writesecureflag 3".
Congrats, you will now be unrooted with bootloader *LOCKED*.
If you need any more help, feel free to PM me.

He said to run the RUU before issuing that command so it should be fine if the intent is to return to 100% stock, including S-ON. It's not really necessary to flash the stock bootloader before flashing the RUU but it might save having to restart the RUU if it hangs after flashing the bootloader. The OP said he was already on hboot 1.58 anyway.
You will also need to to lock the bootloader with a zip file in recovery since flashing the RUU doesn't do that. I have a guide here that includes everything you need.
Good luck!

He said to run the RUU before issuing that command so it should be fine if the intent is to return to 100% stock, including S-ON. It's not really necessary to flash the stock bootloader before flashing the RUU but it might save having to restart the RUU if it hangs after flashing the bootloader. The OP said he was already on hboot 1.58 anyway.
You will also need to to lock the bootloader with a zip file in recovery since flashing the RUU doesn't do that. I have a guide here that includes everything you need.
Good luck!

When i reinstalled the stock Hboot manually (via bootloader) it showed *LOCKED* for me.
Just wondering, how does flashing a zip file in recovery, (which doesn't touch the Hboot) turn it *LOCKED*?

That's because you were locked already and it just wasn't showing because the custom hboot masks that status.
There's a link to a thread that explains how the lock zip file works in this post.
