Why don't you just use a stock or stock-ish ROM? Also, searching will give you quicker results, guides, how-to's, FAQ's, etc...

Didn't search much. Go to the Android Development section. You'll find S-ON ROM's, stock rooted ROM's, OTA's, etc... And the reason fastboot isn't working for you is because you install the kernel/fastboot boot.img after installing the ROM. You will also find guides, how-to's, etc...

You flash the ROM with Recovery and fastboot flash boot boot.img through fastboot. Nothing more, nothing less. There's no need to modify the .zip.
What about flash image GUI? Couldn't he use that, while booted, to flash the boot IMG then go to recovery to flash the ROM?
Never used it, personally, but that was my understanding.

Its so much easier to just fastboot the boot.img unless no computer is available.

Hi,
I've tried updating to ICS but got the black screen with the blue android icon and the triangle.
From searching the web I got mixed answers, some said that it may be because I've changed to CWM.
I'm still s-on.
What do I need to do in order for the update to work?
Thank you !!!:good:
Revert back to stock.

You could change recoveries to 4ext (see my signature) since that is what people think the problem might be. Also, ICS does not seem to work well with S-On from what I've seen in these forums, so you may want to get S-Off.
thanks but..
First of all thanks to both of you for answering..
I'm a bit new at this so a couple of questions -
I didn't change roms, all I did was to unlock the bootloader (using HTCDEV) replace the recovery and get root. This means that I'm on stock Rom no?
Does changing the recovery to 4EXT will help? cause it's doesn't seem logical that changing to a different recovery will help me install the official OTA update..
Oh and I'm using the GSM version if that matters..
Again, thanks!

To install official updates you need stock htc recovery.... Since you have Cwm it won't work.. Flash stock htc recovery using fast boot then take the ota update and everything will be fine.
I'm aware that this may seem like a dumb question, but where do I get the stock recovery from?
(I know that fast boot is that file that I have on my computer, the one that i used to flash CWM recovery)
Thanks!!

Don't know if this will work, but I just searched evo 3d gsm stock recovery in Google and this came out http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1540121
There is a media fire link for the recovery.....
Flash it using fast boot, relock the bootloader and then try to install the ota..... And post back the results.... But taking the ota will update you Hboot, which might not be in unlockable atm....

If you were on GB, those roms won't work, if you're on ICS and you're s-on, use 4EXT, if the problem persist, then you need to flash the boot.img file in the roms zip file manually.
You'll need to learn how to use fastboot if you don't know how to or get someone to write you a script.
Try to reflash stock rom using OTA. may be fix it. I got same problem and solve it by this way

If you can go to bootloader, so use method for S-ON user
-Relock bootloader (fastboot oem lock) (Place the PH85img.zip on sd before locking bootloader if u do not have a card reader.
-Flash leaked ICS RUU in bootloader (rename ruu to PH85IMG.zip, place on external SD card and boot into bootloader)

May I ask if you can be more specific? such as; what build OTA you have, hboot version, what recovery you have, which rom and/or kernel you are trying to flash, and if you are s-on or s-off
I had a similar problem. I unlocked and rooted my EVO LTE ... Then I tried to install a custom ROM and it just got stuck at the boot animation. I didnt do a back up or anything so I was just stuck. I was able to get into Recovery. As a matter of fact I fixed it last night by loading up flashing that superwipe zip and flashing Stock with Goodies ROM. Now my EVO LTE works fine.

extract the boot image from the rom, place it in adb folder and open cmd in that folder
shift+right click, open command window here
then connect phone in fastboot and type fastboot flash boot boot.img

Hey there
I had the same problem, just when I loaded the goodies rom it crashed. Can't do anything, except boot into TWRP. Basically if I try to reflash a rom it should solve my problem?
Most likely you need to flash the kernel, use that image flash app or adb tools/android SDK to flash it in fastboot
I had a feeling
First, thanks
Ok, can I use TWRP to flash the Kernel or is there an app or pc that ill have to use?
You can use fastboot to flash the kernel or the image flash app, I havent got a link for it right now but its probably in themes and apps or original development
No PC
I don't have a PC to use. I'm wondering if I could go recovery->advance->terminal command. I see a fast lot process, but requires a PC.
Not that I know of, you need access to fastboot
Dumlock?
Reading on dumlock, else return to project when computer is available. Thanks for the help.
You can't use dumlock without access to android
So it appears
*sigh* got all excited flashed a rom without a kernel, and now **** out of luck. Seemed so much easier for my OGEVO. So my only option is to do a fast boot with a PC using the .zip I have on the sdcard?
I am selling one of my Rezounds I need to return it to mostly stock.
Before installing the latest Infection rom I was on the current OTA rom. Basically I think all I need to do is reflash the stock recovery image and the current OTA rom and if needed go back to locked. Problem is, I don't have a copy of the recovery.img from the current OTA rom. Can anybody link me to it. Thanks

Here is a post with the full OTApkg.zip for 4.05.605.14:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=40757466&postcount=19
If you extract the firmware.zip, there is the recovery.img which you can either put into a custom ph98img.zip and run in hboot or flash it from your computer using adb stuff. I recently had to restore my Rez back to stock as it is getting returned to Verizon for a replacement. I used the ph98img route to reinstall recovery after unrooting. I also then had to S-on the phone so I had to make sure it was bone stock so the S-on didn't brick it.
ETA: I'm not sure if that full OTApkg.zip will be enough to get you back to stock but what I had done in the past was to flash this stock rooted rom with Amonra 3.16 http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=40941755&postcount=1 ( I was already on 4.05.605.14), do the full unroot option using the supersu app that was already there, and then flash the stock recovery and I was back to fully stock.

The beauty of being unlocked is it doesn't matter... All I need to do is go into fastboot and use "fastboot boot recovery.img" for TWRP and I can flash anything, irregardless of what the installed recovery allows. But thanks for the warning, this is probably what I would do anyway.
Doh!, I completely forgot about that way... Yup, that would work as well
I'm trying to give this phone to my buddy. Haven't used it since I got the S4, and he is still using a Dinc. I tried what was listed here, but it's only made things worse. I was on Stock 4.03.605 (leaked Global RUU) unlocked, rooted, s-on. I tried updating the firmware with the OTAzip. I made the PH98IMG.zip, and ran it through the bootloader. It only updated Hboot from 2.7 to 2.8. It did NOT give me 4.05.605 like I was looking for. I tried to run the Global Stock rom but got stuck in a white HTC screen. The only thing I can make work right now is a viperrom, but wifi will not turn on. I was hoping to give this to him as close to stock, but without wifi, it's not going to be very useful.
Currently I have it locked s-on with stock recovery, but I can unlock and put amon ra back on it. I use a mac so commands are a bit different for me, but I know the basics and what to on the mac (mostly). Any help would be appreciated. I tried to run the leaked global RUU again to reset it, but because the Hboot updated, it won't run it. I can't find an RUU for 4.05.605

My circumstance was very specific, this thread was not really intended to be a guide to take any version of software to another, I already had the firmware (HBoot & radios) for 4.5.605.14, just needed a few pieces to get back to "stockish"... There are other ways to return to stock for different software versions and this thread doesn't address any of those.
The OTApkg.zip is only for going from 3.14.605.13 to 4.5.605.14, no other combinations of versions will work properly. I am surprised that HBoot updated... what radios are you on now? If the radios updated then you might be OK, you can just unlock, then fastboot boot recovery.img of TWRP and flash in the stock/rooted 4.5.605.14 ROM (NOT an RUU, but just the ROM), otherwise you could be in a situation where you need to S-OFF and flash radios and tweak from there. If your HBoot updated then the leaked RUU won't work either, you could be in a tight spot.
BTW, the reason Viper won't work is you likely have a kernel mismatch, to install a ROM on an S-ON Rezound you need to flash the boot.img separately, that is where the kernel is, but that also requires you to be unlocked by HTCdev.

Well I think you're in luck, you have the firmware for the latest software installed... hboot and radios match for 4.5.605.14, all you need now is to unlock and flash a correct ROM! Working so I can't grab link right now, just get unlocked via HTCdev and post when that's done... all isn't list yet!

If you wish..
Actually installing a custom recovery is not required as long as you can fastboot boot the recovery image.
Did you want to return to mostly stock, or did you want to run a custom ROM like Infection Or something else?

I tried this earlier, but I get the white HTC screen lockup. When you say extract boot.img, you mean unzip the download, pull out the boot.img and put it in my android folder to fastboot flash correct? The command I use is ./fastboot flash boot boot.img. It appears everything works, but it never boots. Just gets stuck in the white screen.
I'm downloading it now, should be about 14 more minutes. I will try it all again, and see what happens. Fingers crossed. let me know if my commands are wrong or I'm missing anything. the ./ is needed for mac.
If you load TWRP via Fastboot boot it will flash boot.img for you, if you load if from hboot you have to flash manually.
Before flashing ROM, download and flash the CleanWipe x5 script found in a thread on the development forum.

That works, just requires extra steps. I don't flash recovery anymore, you can go into fastboot on the phone, then execute fastboot boot recovery.img from PC, this gives an unlocked HTC phone temporary S-OFF saving steps of flashing boot.img seperately and avoiding the dreaded Tampered flag (if it hasn't been set).
Lots of ways to skin a cat I guess.

I have the tampered flag. But I don't care about that. I'm long past warranty anyway. But when I use the command ./fastboot boot recovery.img it says cannot load "recovery.img"

You need to extract the recovery.img file from the TWRP zip and put it in the fastboot directory.

Hi,
I have a Sprint HTC Evo3D
-HTCDev "Unlocked"
-Shooter XC Ship S-ON RL
-HBOOT 1.50
-TWRP Recovery 2.8.7 Loaded
I'm trying to make this phone usable, and all guides kind of shoot me in dead end. Nothing is working, and i tried flashing a bunch of random roms.
Can anyone give me directions, or point me in the right direction? I'm looking to revert this to a stock rom or something usable. Preferably the latest Andriod revision. I don't care for root, or anything special... I just need the wifi and browser, this isn't a service phone.

Try to flash boot.img from the rom.rar that you have installed. What is your radio baseband version?

How do i tell what radio baseband do i have?
When you say try to flash the boot.img, do you mean literally "fastboot flash recovery xxxx.img" to the system? I grabbed the VILLUMINATI-08152014-shooter.zip & it did flash via the TWRP, but did not boot up afterwards.

No, actually "fastboot flash boot boot.img" to the system. Just extract boot.img form rom.zip and put it to your ADB tools folder a hit "fastboot flash boot boot.img" command, try it. Does bootloader shows your radio version? Check that.
villuminati, liquid smooth both require s-off and specific HBOOT.
you are s-on. cm11 won't run.
try a stock-based rom, those should work.
oops, read closer, you're not finding stock roms.
this one works ok without s-off on the two 3vo's I tried it on.http://forum.xda-developers.com/htc-evo-3d/cdma-development/rom-3d-anthology-12-18-2014-t2977403

I tried flashing the base, waiting 20min, and got nothing. The phone is stuck on the white HTC boot screen logo. I then flashed the badassrom over it, and got the same result. FYI, i'm using the twrp recovery to flash both these roms.
Does anybody have a link to the stock rom? I tried the "PG86IMG_Shooter_S_Sprint_WWE_2.17.651.5_Radio_1.06.00.1216_NV_NV_spcs_1.42_release_233304-signed.zip" and it seemed to be stuck also.
Any other ideas?
you could try flashing an official RUU
they're posted in the stickies somewhere.
that'll rewrite all your firmware to something that should hopefully boot up.

When you flash the RUU, is that running through the executable? I find that impossible b/c it requires you to have a working OS first to start off with? Can you flash a RUU with fastboot?

there's .exe ruu's for window$ fastboot and PG86IMG.zip files for the root of your SD card in fastboot. since the phone's gotten long in the tooth a lot of links are dead so you may need to hunt a bit.

Couldn't' find much working links on this forum, but i googled & found "PG86IMG_Shooter_Sprint_WWE_2.89.651.2_Radio_1.09.00.0706_signed.zip" on other forums. Renamed it, rebooted to bootloader & this phone is alive again! Thanks for the help
