So I flashed cm 10.1 before achieving S-Off. Bootloader unlocked, rooted with TWRP installed. It sits on "quietly brilliant". I can get into fastboot and recovery, but cannot get any files onto my sd card. Can someone help me get back to a stock rooted rom so I can achieve S-Off properly? Or if it's easier, I'll go all the way to complete stock and start over. Any help is greatly appreciated.

You most likely need to fastboot flash the kernel (boot.img) so the ROM will boot. Just another reason to get S-off

Would it work to flash the stock kernel and then stock RUU? Also, twrp cannot mount my sd card.

You have to install the stock recovery first as I recall, then you can RUU.

i tried flashing stock recovery from fastboot and i got a "not allowed" message.
Why can't you take out your sd card plug in the pc and place meanbean rom on there. Flash meanbean which will flash the kernel. Then flash stock rooted rom.

Would be better help if I knew more of what is going on. Were you trying to S-OFF with CM10.1 installed? Did you just flash CM10.1 while S-ON and can't get the phone to boot? But anywho... with what I know now:
If you still have the CM10.1 ROM on your phone:
take the boot.img out of the .zip and
fastboot flash boot boot.img
that will install the boot.img / kernel and should allow your phone to boot.
Then you can go back in TWRP and flash a stock ROM.
To flash a ROM in fastboot:
fastboot -w
to wipe you device
fastboot update ROM.zip
that will install your ROM in fastboot mode.
fastboot flash boot boot.img after too I assume.
Or you can even do so by using adb in TWRP:
adb shell
mount data
adb push d:\custom_rom.zip /data/
Wait until the push finishes and restart your device to recovery again with "adb reboot-bootloader"
mount data
mount /data /sdcard (mount the data folder into your sdcard folder)
find your ROM.zip
Confirm the flash by following the on-screen instructions
if no errors then reboot the device
Also, in TWRP with your phone plugged into the computer you should be able to mount the phone to get access to your storage on your computer. Not 100% sure why that would matter or why you need to get to your storage though. I'm pretty sure that's called USB-OTG.

Also another option.
If you're trying to get the .zip for the boot.img just download the version you need from the computer, open the .zip, pull the boot.img out and do the fastboot command to install the boot.img / kernel.
If you need or want to RUU then you should be able to:
fastboot oem lock
that will obviously relock your device
then you can fastboot oem rebootRUU
then fastboot flash zip RUU.zip (assuming you have your proper RUU already) when on the black HTC screen
after that completes fastboot reboot-bootloader
Then you'll be back to stock and should be able to boot the device, root, or whatever you please.
I think I covered every option. Lol.
Personally, I would just RUU again.
I've done this before with CM10 while trying to gain S-OFF and just RUU'd my device to see what would happen.
Keep in mind: anything can happen. I went into the process knowing there would be a possibility of a fail in which case I would smash the phone and pay $150 to asurion to get another device since I had the protection from Sprint.
TWRP will not mount any storage.

hi all
Forgot to charge my EVO 3D (CDMA) and battery completely drained. Even after using another fully charged battery my phone goes to bootloop - just shows the HTC logo and reboots again and again. Here is what I have:
hboot : 1.5 (S-ON)
radio : 1.06.00.1216
ota : 2_17.651_5
(I am using this phone in India activated on Reliance)
As the phone doesn't boot I can't access it thru adb to give command 'adb reboot bootloader'
I can get bootloader by pressing vol_down+power
When I run the 2_17.651_5 RUU (exe) from my computer while phone is on fastboot, it completes successfully without errors. But still on reboot it just stays at the htc screen and reboots (guess it's becoz stock kernel not getting flashed as the phone is s-on)
kindly help to get back my phone boot again
thanks and regards

Don't listen to the previous guy. Try using fastboot OEM lock and then ruuing. Or, try getting freezas stock kernel and extracting the boot.IMG and flashing it thru fastboot. Or, you could use fastboot flash recover recovery.IMG to get twrp or clockworkmod and do a superwipe and try flashing a new Rom. There are tons of options if you still have fastboot.

Thanx for responding. As I mentioned earlier,I have already relocked and RUU'd the exe file,but though it runs without errors doesn't solve problem. Again as it is s-on doesn't permit to flash boot.img. Though I am able to flash twrp recovery, not able to get into recovery from fastboot. Thanks again, really appreciate your help.

You don't need to relock once you unlock the HTC way. Just unlock the phone then flash via fastboot the boot.img and then ruu if you want.

thanks. extracted boot.img from freeza's kernel and flashed from fastboot after unlocking. But still doesnt solve problem. Can you give me a link for boot.img
Pleassssssse HELP !!!!!!
I have the exactly the same problem, a full reboot result in boot loop, and can not fix it by now.
I guest the phone is rooted before OTA, so OTA can not flash kernel successfully because the wrong signature, and the phone will not boot because the wrong kernel.
I have tried ruu, fastboot boot recovery.img and etc, all failed.
The key point is that, the phone is rooted and you tried OTA. HTC OTA must have a stupid bug, it can not recovery from a partial update, or automatically roll back becasuse of the partial update, dem!
Please have a look at the guide/flashing notes in my signature. If u r unlocked u are likely not entering recovery correctly.
If u are trying to flash the Ruu u have to be locked or relocked. If u cant boot to android, run the xhausx's full Ruu zip from bootloader.

You need to use the RUU 2.17 exe after you relock your phone... Then flash a copy of CWM or TWRP on it..
Then adb
fastboot boot recovery.img
Wipe and flash whatever you want

Have you tried to just run the RUU like you said boot turn debug on .... Then go to hboot flash your recovery...
Then fastboot boot recovery.img.
This should work I have unrooted my phone 3 times already in the past month Trial and Error on my part adb always found my phone...
I am tryin to figure out what is going wrong on the last part with TWRP...
Since you said after you do that it was a no go? What happend ? Adb should still be working since you just flashed the recovery...
Anyways I hope you get it solved man I am tryin to figure this problem out.
Do you have a rom already ready to be flashed on your SD card?
Problem is, since i’m not able to android boot I can't reboot bootloader from adb, as I can't connect adb without the phone normal booting. When I boot it just stays at the HTC white screen.
I have flashed twrp recovery from fastboot, but when I give command 'fastboot boot <twrpxxxxx>.img it just boots back to the HTC splash screen
You can go back to complete stock if you rename the RUU file PG86IMG.zip and load onto the root of sd card. Get into bootloader with [power+volume down] and it will automatically detect and load the zip file. This can only be done if you are relocked. I did this in order to get the latest update. After you get back to stock you can unlock and root again.

As I mentioned in earlier post, have tried flashing PG86IMG.zip from bootloader, but still phone doesn't boot properly and is in a bootloop.
You've used the following file and done these exact steps and allowed the phone to boot to full stock OS? (assuming 2.17.651.5 is correct version)
OPTION 2 - RUU.zip info:
I prefer the .exe version but xHausx’s “FULL” PG86IMG_2.17.651.5.zip may work for you (must be renamed PG86IMG.zip). Make sure you have plenty of battery/charge left!

You will not need any special drivers loaded, etc...
1.Download the stock ROM ZIP image from here: and rename it "PG86IMG.zip"
2.Copy it to SD Card
3.Reboot phone into hboot mode by holding volume down and then press power.
Keep volume down held until you boot into hboot mode.
4.In hboot mode the phone will scan the SD card with the image. Once it finds it will ask you if you want to update. Press "Power" to update.
5.Wait.... For a while. When it gets to "system" it will loop a few times. Its quite nerve wracking actually but after about 5 or 6 times it will complete.
6.Once the entire flash is complete it will prompt you to "press power to reboot." Press power and your phone will reboot to 100% stock ROM.

Hi,
Let me start off by saying that I have viewed other threads but have not been able to find one that has this same exact problem. Can someone please help?
I have an HTC Evo 3D unlocked with the HTC method, S-On.
I put a new rom on my SD card, I was using InfectedRom but it had some issues. I loaded into bootloader and used revolutionary to flash the rom. I didn't do a wipe or anything else, thinking that it would just flash the rom and I would be good to go.
The phone gets stuck on the HTC splash screen when I go to boot it. I have tried everything from restoring from a back up, to wiping the phone to wiping the cache and am at a loss.
Can someone please offer me some advice? I really need to get this phone back up and running.
Thanks in advance.
Did you flash the boot.img for the ROM?
How can I do that?

You can do that by using fastboot to boot your recovery image.
Code:
fastboot boot [NAMEOFRECOVERY].img
Just running your recovery normally won't allow flashing to certain partitions.
From there, you shouldn't have any problems flashing the full image. The second option would be to use 4EXT recovery (There's a CDMA/GSM version, but don't know off the top of my head), or joeykrim's FlashImageGUI to assist in flashing to specific partitions from the phone.
Edit: CDMA and GSM correction.

Well, all ROMs will need to have a boot.img flashed to boot, but since they are included in the ZIP file containing the ROM, they are normally flashed along with the ROM. If you use FlashImageGUI, you can flash from a boot.img or from a kernel zip file. By running the fastboot boot command, this allows the user to flash to partitions that are locked when booted into recovery from the bootloader.

These are two different methods for accomplishing the same task.
Have you loaded a custom recovery (like ClockworkMod Recovery, TWRP, or 4EXT) before? If you've kept the recovery image on your computer, you can just use that one. Instead of flashing it to your recovery partition (fastboot flash recovery [NAMEOFRECOVERY].img), you would boot to it instead (fastboot boot [NAMEOFRECOVERY].img).
If you use want to use FlashImageGUI, you would copy it to your SD card, install it on the phone, and run the app. Make sure that you've got the ROM you want to flash on the SDCard. If I remember correctly, FlashImageGUI will pull the boot.img out of the ZIP and flash it. Then you will have to boot into your custom recovery to flash the rest of the image. Flashing just the boot image will most likely leave you with a phone that won't boot (until you flash the rest of the ROM).

What is this 'Revolutionary' that you're talking about? I realize that multiple pieces of software can be called the same thing though. How did you load on the ROM that you're currently on? Also, before I link you anywhere (because I don't want you loading the wrong recovery on your phone), is your phone on Sprint, or another carrier? You'd use Recovery to load ROMs, back them up, and so on.
What exactly was it that you were trying to do? Or rather, how did the phone get to a state where it's frozen on the HTC logo? Do you have a custom ROM loaded, or the stock ROM?
Sorry for all the questions, and hopefully this response doesn't come off rude (I don't mean it to ). I'm just trying to figure out what's going on before I suggest anything.
If you are on Sprint, you can run this recovery from Fastboot USB mode.

Your questions are really appreciated. Sorry I haven't been more clear.I really appreciate the help as I've gotten myself in trouble here.
I went on htcevohack and found how to flash the synergy infectedrom. The rom has some bugs in it so I downloaded a new rom and placed in the root folder of my SD card. Revolutionary is a program that allows me to wipe data, install from zip card, mount storage so and so forth. I tried to flash the zip from the new rom using this program and this is where I have had the problem. I have the Sprint Evo 3D. I am relatively new to this and just want a stable rom that has wifi tether on it. Thanks again for the help and for the patience.

Oh! Now I know what your talking about. Max from HTCEVOHacks put the Revolutionary branded version of ClockworkMod Recovery in that archive. I know that for a fact (I downloaded it). It's actually the same version of ClockworkMod Recovery that I linked you to.
Okay. Here's my suggestion to start out with. Flash the recovery.img he included (CWM) onto your phone by booting it up into the bootloader, connecting it to your computer making sure that the phone is in FASTBOOT USB mode. Instead of running the command:
Code:
fastboot boot recovery.img
Run the command:
Code:
fastboot flash recovery recovery.img
That will put a copy of ClockworkMod Recovery on your phone. It's accessible by selecting Recovery from the HBOOT menu.
Now, because HTC's Unlock method doesn't unlock enough to flash most images to your phone, you'll still have to run the 'fastboot boot recovery.img' command each time you want to flash different image. That's the classic way we have used to get around HTC's restrictions.
From there, you can flash another image. Make sure to wipe data before flashing.
The reason I told you to also flash the recovery image to your phone is because, you can still create NANDroid backups without connecting to a computer. However, to restore those backups, you'll have to 'fastboot boot ...' the recovery image.
Now, his archive is quite dated. I'd personally recommend after you flash a new ROM, that you take a look at the 4EXT recovery thread in the EVO 3D CDMA development forum. It's really very good (I also like TWRP as well).
Now, there probably wasn't a problem with the ROM. I've used it myself, and have found it to be quite stable. If you flash a ROM onto the phone without wiping data first, you'll probably run into problems booting the ROM. If you liked InfectedRom Eternity, you can always try it again.
This is where NANDroid backups are important. If anything gets messed up, you can easily restore from one in your custom recovery (CWM/4EXT/TWRP).
I hope I didn't throw too much out there. Hopefully this gets you off the ground.

Oh! Now I know what your talking about. Max from HTCEVOHacks put the Revolutionary branded version of ClockworkMod Recovery in that archive. I know that for a fact (I downloaded it). It's actually the same version of ClockworkMod Recovery that I linked you to.
Okay. Here's my suggestion to start out with. Flash the recovery.img he included (CWM) onto your phone by booting it up into the bootloader, connecting it to your computer making sure that the phone is in FASTBOOT USB mode. Instead of running the command:
Code:
fastboot boot recovery.img
Run the command:
Code:
fastboot flash recovery recovery.img
That will put a copy of ClockworkMod Recovery on your phone. It's accessible by selecting Recovery from the HBOOT menu.
Now, because HTC's Unlock method doesn't unlock enough to flash most images to your phone, you'll still have to run the 'fastboot boot recovery.img' command each time you want to flash different image. That's the classic way we have used to get around HTC's restrictions.
From there, you can flash another image. Make sure to wipe data before flashing.

What error are you getting when trying to run the RUU? You need to make sure the RUU matches the base of the rom that your phone is currently on. What were you doing when you started to have this problem?

Sorry I meant to say fastboot, I reset my SwiftKey keyboard because I got tired of fighting with it and the reset made it worse lol
Just download trwp recovery image and fastboot flash that, then pick a rom package and extract boot image and fastboot flash that, boot into twrp and flash the same ROM zip
Hurray, SwiftKey has arrogantly corrected 10,000 keystrokes, if only I could get it to work as intended

mount your card from twrp and transfer the necessary files, again the new meanrom should include the workaround that xhausx ported from the evo 3d, it should save you the trouble of having to extract the kernel for fastboot

as far as i know Mikey incorporated a method to trick the hboot into flashing the entire package but if you get stuck during boot you will have to extract the boot image and flash that through fastboot

well you can try any of the other roms available but if you get a successful flash and it does not boot, extract the boot image from that rom, go back into boot loader and fastboot flash the kernel

you have to be on twrp 2.2.2 older versions dont play nice
I have S-off, Unlocked Bootloader, and my EVO is rooted. I have HBOOT 2.09
I tried to install Vanir so I flashed the Gapps 4.4 in TWRP which seemed to work, then I tried to flash Vanir after and got an error.
Now no matter what I do I boot right into recovery and can't seem to figure my way out. Clearly I'm in over my head so if someone could just help me get back to stock at least I would really appreciate it. Thanks
Did you install the proper twrp for kitkat.. if so just try flashing the Rom first then let it boot up and sit for a minute.. then boot back into recovery and flash gapps this works for me..

It's 2.6.3 twrp, and whenever I tried to install the ROM it gave me an error message.

Even though you use TWRP 2.6.3.0, it has to be a modded one that allows SELinux support.
Click Me -Flash the Recovery in the OP of this thread
If you have a working fastboot and adb environment on your computer you can flash it by going to to fastboot USB in the bootloader of your phone, and make sure your phone is connected to your PC properly.
Place the .img file in your adb and fastboot folder and then open a command prompt from that location.
then type fastboot flash recovery "recoveryfilename.img" and ofcourse replace recoveryfilename with the actual filename.
after that reboot into recovery and try reflashing Vanir.
This is the method I use to flash recoveries, its fairly simple and fast in my opinion.
Hope this helps.

Ah ok. Glad you got everything sorted out.
Good deal.
Sometimes an RUU is all you have left. A powerful option no doubt.
I have rooted the rezound, installed twrp recovery, but now i want to flash this ROM:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2113140
I have this ROM along with the gapps on my SDcard and attempted to flash it. I have done the factory wipe as well as both dalvik and cache wipes to install and proceeded. The ROM and gapps have successfully been installed and i proceeded with the system reboot. The phone boots but stays on the HTC splash screen. I can still access my recovery. What should i do? Thanks.

Are you s-off or s-on? If you're s-on you need to manually flash the boot.img if you dont know what that is. I can explain later. But if you're s-on you need to manually flash the boot.img. On your computer take the zip. Extract it with any zip. It will give a folder. In the folder there will be a boot.img, take this out. Place it in your adb and fastboot folder. Then boot the phone into fastboot
fastboot flash boot boot.img
Try this first if not we can continue with another plan

Sorry I'm replying a little late.. And yes!
1. Take the original zip extract it. Open the folder that it makes, there should be some items in it. One being "boot.img".
2. Take the boot.img and move it to your adb and fastboot folder.
3. From there, put your phone in fastboot (volume down + power, then first option)
4. Make sure phone is picked up
fastboot devices
If your device is picked up, you're good to flash the boot.img
fastboot flash boot boot.img
It'll send the boot.img. write it, all that fun stuff.
fastboot reboot
Be patient as the first boot can take up to 20 minutes. Report back or if I need to reword anything I will.

Edit: after getting your phone to boot. I would suggest running rumrunner. It will get you S-off. http://rumrunner.us/ go through here. Use the universal .0.5.0 if you have any questions, there is a thread in general about rumrunner working for the rezound. If any other questions. Feel free to ask here or PM me.
@pball52998
I recommend at minimum 3 s-on flashes to get acquainted with fastboot and ph98img flashing. It helps reduce end user error when flashing roms.

Thanks so much for your help! I finally have the phone booted up and ready to use. One issue though, i cannot access the about phone part in the settings. The settings app tends to crash every time i try to select it. Other than that everything works! Thank you so much.
