Alright everyone,for those of you having issues to revolution on your Evo 3d and flooding the irc I figured id start this to compile everything.
Things I have noticed.
1. yes after the install your device to attempt a hands free activation,don't freak when is say checking for firmware update,it wont find anything!
2. You may have to do a battery pull after the initial flash/install. On Mine,the recovery did not install! Problem will be worked out im sure,this is a beta AND teamwin has their own recovery going on as well.
[ I have found the reason why the recovery is not installed is simply because clockwork is not support on the shooter yet.Do install a recovery use team wins recovery image and directions which can be found here: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1192077
Here is a simplistic break down on how to do this,I am not responsible for your actions!
Download the .img file found in the thread,make sure you also download the fastboot.exe and place it in the same folder as ADB for easy access. Once that is done,reboot while holding down your power + volume down button!
Fastboot menu will come up,the command you need it
fastboot flash recovery (location of file).img
For me it was fastboot flash recovery C:\Downloads\durka.img yes I renamed it durka because I dont like long names]
3. If you are having issues getting your serial number,connect it to ADB and do adb get-serialno
4. If you cannot get root,you will have to download busybox by stericson on the market. I had to manually sign into my gmail accounts so remember your passes!
[This is wrong,if you do not have root you need to have the teamwin recovery installed and you need to flash the superuser.zip file found on the forums. If you are having issues installing,make sure signature verification is unchecked,then once reboot install busybox]
All apps that I have that require root are working for me, just waiting on a deodexed rom. Even SetCPU is working,but I dont have the custom kernel installed,which could actually be easily doable now!
And I leave the thread to y'all
Well, I can probably help troubleshoot. Rooted and installed teamwin recovery first try. Doing a nandroid backup now.
I can also help people troubleshoot, I am also rooted and have teamwin recovery going!
N e 1 kno how to do this with a mac?
D3VO
Rooted and recoveried on first try. Doing my compressed NAND backup now. (I like the fact that it can be compressed...but it's slow as hell lol)
Yeah, I was a tad concerned at first about the hands-free activation notice, but everything was smooth like buttah... Thank god I remembered my passwords!
My issues:
First try: I got all the way to the part where the phone is taken to hboot and fastboot usb is selected. I was getting a red X for the driver not being installed bc I didn't have HTC Sync installed, so I cancelled revolutionary, rebooted my phone, installed htc sync on my pc, and tried again...
Now, after rebooting both my phone and the pc, I can't get past the initial "Acquiring Root" step.
help...

only issue I've found is that Titanium Backup refuses to work on my phone.
yes, I flashed the SU package found here, and also tried the Busybox installer from the market.
besides that, everything's working great, already nandroided my stock setup and my WiMax partition while waiting for the ROMs to drop!

TB works great for me. Are you sure that the su installed? is it in your app drawer? If not download it from the market and try installing that.

In the new sdk adb is in platform-tools folder, so here's what I did. I moved fastboot and twrp recovery to platform-tools folder, renamed the recovery image to recovery.img and pressed shift while right clicking on the platform-tools folder and choose open command prompt(or window) here. Then just type flasboot flash recovery recovery.img and press enter. Worked for me.
I see what you did...you have to type "fastboot flash recovery nameofrecoveryhere.img" and it will work. Make sure the recovery image is in the same folder as fastboot.

Did you unroot the temp root before installing Revolutionary? This might be the cause because attn1 from AlphaRev told me to unroot and factory reset to get rid of all the temp root stuff before running Revolutionary.

if you haven't read my last thread here is my issue.
my pc won't read my phone because it say "failed to open usb master mode"
i can access bootloader and twrp but i cant usb anything.
my pc will say mtp driver install failed
so my question is what do i need to download for adb fastboot? programs, drivers, all i need since the auto install from my phone isn't working. and if all possible link me to it. ive been up 14 hours straight trying to search every where on what to do but im coming up with nothing. just people saying install and reinstall......so far only clonz tried to help me. i tried sideloading but i didnt know i needed to abd fastboot....tried installing adt from a google search android sdk but eclipse is saying im missing a java file. what the hell am i suppose to do? where does all the adb files/sdk stuff go? im lost already.
Are you trying to copy something to the phone while it's booted up? If yes, you dont need adb/fastboot, only the correct drivers. If you are trying to flash a Kernel, you have to use fastboot. To do this, download the sdk, install it and all the necessary things from the SDK Manager. Then open the command prompt (as admin) and navigate to the folder where fastboot.exe is (probably smth like C:\Program Files\android-sdk\platform-tools). Make sure your boot.img (the kernel) is also there. Boot the phone into the bootloader, then connect it per usb and type
"Fastboot erase cache (optional)
Fastboot flash boot boot.img"
And reboot

some odd reason when i wiped to to a new rom it like wiped everything and keep saying no os installed. so i never use adb so i dont know what to download and my mtp driver isnt installing properly
I guess you wiped data and it wiped the internal storage too. And now you cant install a rom. I'm not an expert but I guess you could try extracting a rom zip and flash every partition since sideload doesn't seem to work. Better ask a dev about that one, though..
P.s. dont wonder about the "thank", I accidentally pressed it
Sent from my HTC One X+ using xda app-developers app
EDIT: Do you have TWRP recovery? If yes, boot into recovery, select "advanced", then "sideload". Now open cmd again, navigate to adb and type:
"adb sideload rom.zip" (replace rom.zip with the name of your rom file)
Note that the rom.zip must be in the same folder as adb.

well decided to install some custom roms. installed recovery via adb wiped phone. forgetting we cant mount usb. so i went to push it via adb. " "waiting for phone" once i got passed that error i go to use adb sideload. well once i put abd shell. in the command prompt. and hit abd sideload in twrp. it disconnects from pc for a second then comes back. but knocks me off abd shell. i am having trouble pushing a rom to my phone now. which is completely wiped. im stumped at this point
well fixed. after getting some good rest i tried another method. it seems the updated adb. does not allow to you to be in adb shell and inititiate the adb sideload command via twrp or cwm. you can now do it normaly "adb sideload xxx.zip inside of being in adb shell command menu first. just a heads up for anyone who got stuck like me
your old rom should still be there if you reboot, you'll have to set it up again, but then just copy the rom you want to use back to the phone, unless of course you wiped /system as part of your procedure.
If you did that, and you didn't create a NANDROID backup before wiping or attempting to install anything, you can boot to bootloader and install cwm recovery from sk8trwithskil, It for sure supports adb mode from recovery
from that recovery you can adb push your rom to the sd card
adb push /rom.name.here /sdcard
then you can install the rom

Yes fatherrrrr. i have one lol
I am in a situation similiar to what you were in, but I don't have any adb support in Recovery, I cant mount usb at all in any of the 3 recoveries either, I did have ADB within the phone before I had my accident... I've even reinstalled the android sdk and rebooted, done everything I can think of but I'm running out of ideas now. I've reinstalled the drivers found in the tool thread as well, although I used the ones the came with the phone the first time. Any help?
I had the same problem and tried everything, was just about to throw in the towel and by accident tried you last thing and I fixed it. This is so easy your going to kick yourself, hope it works for you. This is what I did… 1-download HTC One All in one toolkit (I know most of it doesn’t work but this will) Once opened and extracted (On your desktop) right click it and run as ADMIN. 2-click FLASH RECOVERY and install TWRP. 2-in Commands click ERASE CACHE . 2-In Extras click ADB SIDELOAD A ROM (I know you have tried it and it never worked in the past but by ERASE CACHE it works) When you run ADB SIDELOAD A ROM you just need to follow the instructions.. Good luck
Wiping system data and factory reset doesnt wipe memory card since we don't have a separate card?

abd sideload works fine in cwm and twrp. but being the dummy I am was late. and didn't realize. that the updated adb.exe.... command is adb sideload xxx.zip you not longer have to do adb shell first. and when I was doing this is was kicking me out. of adb. or get yourself a otg cable and use that via twrp
OTG cable? I've heard it but don't know what it is
Also I couldn't get any adv commands to work. Can't get anything to mount. Other than cache.

you can do without if you can get your sideload working. if you cant I would spend the 2 bucks or so on the cable load the rom on a usb stick plug in and flash to revive your phone. adb sideload works great here. but I use otg cable for ease of use
That's what happens when I try to sideload. Nothing will mount. Guess I'll order and OTG and see if I can mount external/sd
Also every time I try to sideload it freezes my laptop.

Alright, so i have an EVO 4g lte and i attempted to root it today. It didnt turn out very well to say the least... I unlocked bootloader and flashed TWRP recovery.I then flashed superSU, and at the same time i flashed a custom rom and gapps zip. Then hit reboot. It has not booted up since.. It will just sit at the white HTC screen. i tried clearing cache and Dalvik cache, also did a factory reset. tried flashing cm10 rom onto the device as well as a rooted stock rom. nothing works! the farthest i have gotten was with the cm10 rom and it went to the cyanogenmod boot logo but was in bootloop still. I downloaded the ADT tool bundle but the phone wont show up on the device list. Can anyone help? im completely stumped.. Im fairly new to rooting and custom roms, but i have rooted multiple tablets and samsung galaxy phones and havent had any issues. this is my only phone also, i just gave my backup to my mother because her phone broke... please if anyone knows how to fix this let me know. when i boot into recovery mode it says Tampered and Unlocked at the top as well as S-On. I can also go into TWRP recovery with no problems. just cant use fastboot with my computer (windows 7 PC).
I am pretty sure i know what i did wrong, I flashed SuperSU to gain root at the same time i flashed the custom rom and gapps.. on all the other devices i would reboot after root and then flash the custom rom seperately.. but is there a way to correct my mistake?
Since you are s-on you have to fastboot flash the boot.img/kernel first and then flash CM and gapps
Any questions PM me
OK sorry to be a noob but how do I do that? I used cmd.exe while rooting but now it won't recognize my device. Much thanks for any help!!

Sounds like a driver issue
1.Uninstall everything HTC from your PC
2.Reboot your PC
3.Plug your phone in and it will load a bunch of drivers
4.Try the command again
If that does not work get the latest drivers from HERE use the ones dated 6/6/13
and don't forget the BMP drivers towards the bottom of post 1

yes they are talking now. fastboot devices and my phone shows up.
i tried fastboot flash boot.img but it wont recognize the command, i placed the boot.img file into the platform-tools folder inside my C drive. what am i doing wrong? its late at night and im frustrated so i know im screwing something up...
ok good BTW which version of twrp are you using? Let me know before you continue.
pull the boot.img from the rom zip and copy it to the folder you opened your cmd window from
then type fastboot boot boot.img
once it says successful press the power button to return to HBOOT and use the vol keys to navigate to recovery
Once there choose wipe and wipe cache/dalvik cahce/system/data or factory reset depending which version of twrp you are using
then flash CM and gapps
C:\Users\Corey>fastboot boot boot.img
cannot load 'boot.img': No error
thats what i typed in and thats what it said back to me. not quite sure what the problem is.
the boot.img is placed in the same folder as the fastboot application

same thing, cannot load unknown error. also i am using twrp 2.6.0.0
Ok lets try something different at least it will get you up and running
Get twrp v2.4.1.0 from http://techerrata.com/browse/twrp2/jewel
put it in the same folder you are using and we will downgrade your twrp for now
copy and paste this in the cmd window
fastboot flash recovery openrecovery-twrp-2.4.1.0-jewel.img
then fastboot erase cache
ok got the twrp done succesfully as well as the wipe cache. whats next? i think i figured out what i was doing wrong, i hadnt opened the file directory. cd downloads, cd android files, etc.
should i try going into recovery now on the phone and flash a rom, or should we stay on fastboot and push the boot.img?
Easiest way to open a cmd window is to press shift and right click inside the folder and choose open cdm window here
That way you know you are in the correct folder.
Yeah go ahead and try to flash the boot.img again
I cannot get my phone to start, whenever I reboot it takes me to recovery!
When I'm at recovery it shows black screen. (Recovery installed from Rom Manager)
I can only access bootloader. What did I do?
I installed Rom Manager and install the Clockworkmod Recovery
I wanted to flash cyanogenmod 11, I did that in the Rom Manager
Then my DNA restarts and shows black screen after the HTC Logo
Help please!! >.<
Being in recovery is a good thing. You should have done a backup before flashing. Go to cwm , wipe system data and cache. Restore your backup. Then get a fresh cm down load and start from scratch. Don't use rom manager to flash this time. Flash from recovery.
Oops sorry reread your post. Recovery is not working? So did you flash recovery through rom manager, then immediately flash cm without booting to recovery first to make a backup? Either way your phone will be fine. you will likely have to push a new recovery through adb. You will find instructions through search.
Put the phone in fastboot open a command window on your pc and then use the command "fastboot erase cache" and then see if you can boot into the recovery.

Well you see, fastboot is not working for some reasons... I installed the drivers, tried other drivers but still nothing. Whenever I try to lock my bootloader it say "waiting for device" (I wanted to use RUU but cant lock bootloader)
Pardon my english
Are you using windows? I had trouble getting adb to work with my current windows install. I used unbtu booted from a usb and adb worked perfectly....
I borked up my DNA a few weeks back like yours. I use Linux Mint, used some flashboot commands (I'm at work, can't remember exactly) and was able to flash TWRP recovery (but you could flash CWM if you wanted to). Then I was able to RUU. I could have pushed a ROM and flashed afterwards, but I RUU'd instead.
Hope this helps.
Word to the wise, when flashing anything on your phone, READ ALL THE DIRECTIONS VERBATUM. If you don't, you risk the bork (like I did).
