Hi,
I have a Sprint CDMA HTC EVO 3D. I tried root and get S-OFF for it. Unfortunately I failed and now the phone fail to boot.
Below is what I did from which you might be able to diagnose it and give me suggestions.
(1) The original status of mu phone is:
Stock rom, I never root it before.
HBOOT-1.58.0000
Android Version: 4.03
HTC Sense version: 3.6
Software version: 2.95.651.6.710RD
(2) My root procedures:
I followed this post: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1813818
I successfully unlocked phone with HTCDev, successfully Flashed 4EXT recovery, and successfully installed Superuser-3.1.3-arm-signed.zip. I also booted into sytem, everything worked well.
However I failed in next step of JuopunutBear's Wire Trick (S-OFF). When I ran ControlBear.exe, it finally hanged there.
Current status of my phone:
Unfortunately I did not make a backup to my original ROM, so there is no way to revert back by restoring backup.
Now the phone is in unlocked status, I was able to boot to HBOOT and also enter 4Ext recovery, however I am not able to boot into Android. If I try to boot into Android, it always hang at black screen.
I am able to boot to fastboot (USB) mode, I tried to flash some stock ROM (listed at http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=24268786&postcount=209), but I failed. For example, I ran a RUU of 2.89.exe, it detected my phone version is 2.95, and further update RUU failed.
Looks like my partition is ruined, but I might be wrong.
ANyone can help me to restore my phone to working status? At least I need the phone to be able to boo to Android.
Here are also some tries that I ever did:
(1) I ever put the PG86IMG.zip file (downloaded from http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=21593454&postcount=564) to my sdcard, still failed.
(2) I ever formatted all partition from 4EXT recovery

EDIT:
Okay. I've got some questions.
1. You're stuck on some black screen as you said. It boots past the white HTC splash and then it's stuck on that black screen, right. Do you mean the juopunutbear "arrow screen" - juopunutbears boot.img?
2. I think if you had flashed the original boot img everything would have been fine.
3. The easiest way is to flash to stock, so lets try to figure out why it doesn't flash.

Yes, after I was stuck with black juopunutbear screen, I took battery out, reboot again, never was able to root to Android. I am only able to boot to HBoot.

EDIT:
One more thing. Which ruu were you trying to run
Edit2:
What's your CID? Use "fastboot getvar cid" or "fastboot oem readcid" (without quotes).
Edit3:
BTW, this was on the wire trick page... http://unlimited.io/jbtroubleshooting.htm - TROUBLESHOOTING There was everything you needed to know when you failed at something. Remember that page. You may need it the next time you try to do the wiretrick.
Q: Were you using a linux distro for the wire trick and did you use the appropriate files for wire trick since GB and ICS have separate tools?
If you want I may assist you in gaining s-off if we get this thing functional again.
Yes, I am able to boot to recovery.

Aw man, I'm completely sorry I didn't see this: Software version: 2.95.651.6.710RD
That means, no RUU for you cause htc/sprint wasn't kind enough to provide the ruu. Also FYI you can't flash a ruu lower than your current one.
So your best bet is to flash the most stock 2.95 cdma rom you could find and right after, flash the stock cdma evo 3d kernel through fastboot or 4ext (I think 4ext smartflash does the same thing). Try to find something that's COMPLETELY STOCK - with no mods whatsoever or if you couldn't find any, try something that's almost* stock. That should get you booting and you can try s off again.
Edit: This shall work. http://www.negalite.com/index.php?topic=21.0 Try it and report back!!!
Now I only want to revert my phone to stock, not considering root at present time.
I searched 2.95 ROM, unfortunately the highest version that I can find is 2.89. Does this mean I have no way to revert my phone to live? Thanks a lot.

Flash like a normal rom and don't forget to flash the boot img because that's what's really causing you problems right now. I'd choose the deodexed one from there.

If you have access to the recovery, most likely, yes.
Hello MrJyrks,
Thank you so much for the link! I am eager to try that. Before I do that I think I shall ask two questions to avoid further mess up the device:
Question #1: To install the deodexed rom, which is the correct way:
(1) Rename the ZIP file to PG86IMG.ZIP, put to root of sdcard, then boot, letting the Bootloader to do the update.
(2) In 4EXT recovery, enable smartflash, enable script asserts, then install the zip from the root of sdcard.
Question #2: You said I shall flash boot image, can you tell me how to do this? I mean, where shall I get the boot image file? Flash it with 4EXT? SHall I do it before or after install ROM zip file?
Thank you very much for your helps!!!

I tried install the stock ROM from your link (using 4EXT with smartflash enabled and script asserts enabled.) . Amazing that installation completed successfully (indeed this is the first ROM zip that I was able to install successfully since I mess up the device). When I exit After that, it did some further update which I guess is the boot.img that you mentioned.
4EXT it said 'a pending update for your boot partition is detected' and I think it was doing the boot image flash that you mentioned, right?
Unfortunately when I boo the device, I still got black screen.
Now I am unlocked and also rooted (since I successfully installed superuser in 4EXT). DO you think I shall lock the devioce before installing the stock ROM? If so, one possible issue is that if I relock the device, I found 4EXT is not available. In that case, how shall I install the ROM zip file?
Thanks.

Further update:
I flashed boot image by: fastboot flash boot boot.img which is included in the stock ROM zip file.
The flash went successfully. However, I am still not able to boot to Android. WHat I have is the device hang there, alternatively displaying logo with white background, and black screen.

Similar problem, can't return to stock
I have a problem similar to lsdyna's, and am hoping that even though this post is old, MrJyrks or someone might be able to help me.
I am unsuccessfully trying to return my phone to stock. First a bit of history.
I had 2.95.651.6.710RD s-on hboot 1.58 Android Version: 4.03 HTC Sense version: 3.6 on my phone, and wanted root. I didn't need s-off, just wanted to root so could do some tweaking (stop some apps from autostarting, stop some form getting network access, etc.) so loaded 4EXT Recovery Touch, and got root (fastboot oem get_identifier_token method), got superuser in there, and happily began tweaking. Famous last words... I didn't make a backup right away (learned my lesson!) and suddenly found a 'overtweaked' sluggish phone on my hands.
Thought best thing would be to lose the root & return to stock & start over, carefully, making backups.
So I used Fastboot (fastboot oem lock) to lock it (worked) and proceeded to try to load RUU_Shooter_ICS_35_S_Sprint_WWE_2.89.651.2_Radio_1.09.00.0706__NV_NV_SPCS_1.43_release_271101_signed.exe into it [via my computer], but didn't realize until reading MrJyrks post that a lower RUU couldn't be used.
I now am relocked (phone does boot up, but can tell the system tweaks are still slogging it), lost the recovery, and wondering what to do... do I try putting recovery back in & using the Negalite 2.95 stock deodex ROM MrJyrks mentioned? If so, how do I use that zip file method verses the exe one I tried thru my computer?
Thanks for the help
You had issues with the RUU because your main version is higher than that contained in the RUU.
Unlock, flash recovery again. Boot into recovery and flash this zip: https://copy.com/wlVvwssXXNN00Pe
That will lower your main version. Relock the bootloader, put the phone into fastboot USB mode, then run the RUU while in fastboot USB mode.
Should be back to stock after that.

I've tried multiple ways of returning to stock, including PJ75IMG.zip and running the RUU for my version. TWRP won't let me flash anything I've tried and they all fail. I can install backups from TWRP no problem there. I'll try to give as many details as possible, but I can't figure out what is wrong.

Update your twrp to 2.3.3.0 or if you want to return to stock you have to relock your bootloader
Sent from my PoS MoPho
TWRP won't take the update for whatever reason, and I can't get fastboot to work over this machine, so I'm thinking about running linux to get into the phone a little easier (hopefully.) I either have to wait til I can use my roommates machine, or start installing a dual boot
Have you tried goomanager to update twrp?
Yea, it downloads the file, gives a message stating it has been installed, then it does nothing. No reboot. when I manually reboot into recovery, it still sits at previous version.
Do you have adb setup on your PC? Also do you have the correct drivers installed ?
#Root-Hack_Mod*Always=SG3
Ok, so finally got my fastboot to work
"Fastboot oem lock"
Worked. Awesome...now it's stuck in a bootloader loop. Won't let me into recovery, but I can still get to fastboot. I can't get to recovery, factory reset, etc. just hboot and fastboot.
screen shows tampered relocked and security warning.
Any ideas? I can get it to flash the PJ75IMG.zip but it says main version is older! or something to that effect and it fails. Any ideas?
UPDATE: Got it unlocked again and it booted back into OS.
Bump. I'd really like to get this phone on the newest versions of everything. Anyone have any ideas?

No, but I was wondering if I could flash things in that state. Since it wasn't moving past bootloader I wasn't sure if I should try anything. Is stock recovery effected by anything like software version?

Well since you are s-on you can't flash PJ75IMG files from bootloader if you want to update your phone to the latest OTA you have to relock your bootloader and reflash the stock recovery and take the OTA then unlock and flash twrp again.
If you click the link in my sig and download the 3.15/2.09 hboot file there is a stock recovery in the files as well as instructions on how to flash it

So I'm trying to run the Dirty Racun method, and I'm sitting at this part "sudo ./fastboot flash zip RUU.zip"
How long should this normally take? The only thing I can see is Sending 'zip' (filesize) and htc on the phone. Does this process take awhile? >20 mins? Is there some kind of progress meter?
Update:// So apparently I'm stuck. DirtyRacun seems to hang on the RUU flash. BigDaddy, it also stops half way thru the stock recovery flash.
Hey everyone,
So I have successfully HTC Unlocked my Rezound bootloader, installed Amon Ra, and then installed and booted the CM9 unofficial. Problem was that CM9 wasn't quite as cooperative as I'd hoped - it is unofficial, after all, and so I decided to abandon that in favor of Nils' Business ROM. Here's where I ran into issues.
I have tried everything in every order I can find online and think of, including Nils' writeup. So, for the life of me, I cannot get the leaked ICS RUU to boot (4.03.605.2 as listed in his instructions on XDA). Install runs fine every time I do it from the relocked (I checked) stock HBOOT, all steps included. Every time it reboots (and I've tried forcing it back into hboot to do the install a second time) it just goes to the white HTC screen and starts boot looping. Tried it a million ways, no go. Also worth noting - the stock recovery doesn't install properly, either. Some'fin is hinky, here.
So I've tried just "assuming" it went fine anyhow and then proceeding with the install for Nils' ROM and same deal, no go, although with one difference. With Nils' ROM, it does display the boot splash screen "Nils Business ROM" or what have you about 1 out of every 4 "boots" in the loop cycle, and then reboots again.
I think I am going to perform S-OFF tomorrow if I have the time, and then try it again using the S-OFF instructions, but I would sincerely appreciate any help from you all. Honestly, I'm at near wit's end with this device, and I don't want to be, I enjoy this chase too much, but I *really* want the reward at the end of it, lol.
Any help is deeply appreciated.
- Katie
Re: [Q]
I'm guessing because of the corrupted recovery, you have a bad download of the RUU. Try re downloading and check the md5 hash for a match. The ruu should reboot itself after the first pass and end up in bootloader again for the second pass.... If not then after the first pass just hold down power + vol down to get back to bootloader.
Hope this helps

Make sure that you have a booting ROM before you s-off. You will cause yourself all kinds of heartache if you don't.
Using an sd card reader on a pc, check md5 of your RUU zip file. If it checks out good, put the sd back in your rez and do an hboot power on and accept the update again. Report back with your findings. Also you will need to re-unlock your hboot after and install your recovery again.

Hey, thanks. Yeah, the RUU does check out just fine against an MD5SUM.

Right now, I cannot S-OFF because it requires a working stock image, and I'll be lucky to get anything more than CM9 unofficial working here.
You're too fast, now my bad post lives on...
So, when theh RUU failed, you unlocked again, flashed a custom recovery and tried to flash Nils' ROM?
Do you have a nandroid you can try to restore? Even if its the cm9 ROM at least to see if you can get it back to a working phone?

Well that's the trick. CM9 didn't work well enough to even be worth backing up. I'm trying to reinstall it again now just to see if I get there - and it looks like I will. Once I'm back up with that, I'm not sure where to go from there. The phone barely worked under CM9. Really hoping to get Nils' ROM on there, since it gives all the nice features of a stock device without the bloatware. Even if I never get S-OFF, I'll be perfectly happy with just Nils' software.
How about this... did you wipe everything before running the RUU? There's CleanWipe in the Development forum you can flash it from recovery and it will wipe everything 5 times!
This shouldn't make any difference, but there's also a different RUU, the OTA that's not global. You might try that one instead. I'm convinced that sometimes things are just voodoo even when they should be completely logical. That's definitely the case at work on the Avid systems I use.

Thanks for the clicky, Feralicious. Same results, unfortunately. I'm going to try doing the RUU flash of Nils' ROM instead. Do you guys know where I can get the ICS firmware by itself? I cannot be sure that it's actually flashed right, unfortunately.
Your HBOOT is 2.27 and it should say relocked????
It should since you flashed the 4.03.605.2 RUU. The only RUU you will be able to flash since your S-ON is the one found here http://www.androidfilehost.com/?fid=9390034591667978440
The other RUU will fail because you can't downgrade. So the link above(The Global RUU) will that fail or completely install 100%??
If it does install 100% and boot loops still. Take out the sdcard. Boot into the HBOOT and perform a factory reset inside of HBOOT/Fastboot(NOT IN RECOVERY)
Report your status
EDIT
The link listed above for the RUU. Other way of installing it which is a great way to look at the status of everything.
Boot into Fastboot
fastboot oem rebootRUU
fastboot oem lock
fastboot flash zip rezound_AndroidPolice_4.03.605.2_PH98IMG.zip
fastboot reboot
EDIT2:

The other RUU will fail because you can't downgrade. So the link above(The Global RUU) will that fail or completely install 100%??
If it does install 100% and boot loops still. Take out the sdcard. Boot into the HBOOT and perform a factory reset inside of HBOOT/Fastboot(NOT IN RECOVERY)

I'll do that stuff and let you know. Thank you!
Yes, I am on 2.27 HBOOT.
Point of interest, though possibly unsurprising. When I send the lock command, it locks and reboots, but says "Failed" in my command window screen. Sure this is probably normal since the phone might just reboot before responding to the computer, but possibly an issue.
I believe that is the image I tried before, but I'll do it again both ways to be certain and report back soon! :good:

I really wouldn't see why you would need a Sense rom to get s-off. I would imagine it would just need su and busybox installed. But nandroid then try a sense rom again. Make sure you flash the boot.img through fastboot
I had already had my phone's bootloader unlocked and rooted and had a GPe ROM installed and worked perfectly. THEN I saw that you could literally make it a Google Play edition phone complete with OTA and worked on trying to achieve that. Getting my phone S-Off wasn't working because I believe of my HBOOT version (1.55) so I was told to download this stock ROM that would downgrade me to reach a version that I could then run revone to achieve S-OFF.

I ran a backup through TWRP first and then flahsed this ROM, which has kept my HTC One at the HTC One splash screen. I connected it to my computer/ADB and got it into the bootloader to go into custome recovery BUT the recovery takes me to a black screen with a phone and red triangle, so it's like my recovery isn't there anymore. Fine.
I download the latest TWRP for my phone(triple checked) and ran the fastboot flash recovery command through ADB but it says
"(bootloader) signature checking...FAILED (remote: signature verify fail)"
is there some sort of way to disable the signature check using ADB or am I actually going about this the wrong way?
I'll admit, I don't do this stuff oftem, so ask as many questions as needed as I probably left out details you may need
I may be wrong but you may have to re-lock the bootloader and run the ruu back to stock.
nandroid backup restore won't change the hboot so I don't think you'll have any luck there.
I'm running ARHD 40 just till we can find a way to run s-off on our AT&T devices.

Not to sound n00b-ish, but what would be the best way of doing this?
EDIT: Actually it is relocked already! Duh! On the bootloader screen it says "TAMPERED" and then "RELOCKED" below that

Sure thing man. It's stuck at that screen because when your phone is unlocked, it allows custom recovery but when it's locked, it won't boot unless it finds the stock recovery. I am not 100% sure but I've had that issue as well. I had to run the RUU to get back to stock since you can't lock the bootloader with custom recovery and expect it to boot. It may vary from device to device but I've always had to RUU back to stock or fastboot flash stock recovery to get past that screen before you lock the bootloader. You can try again, there is stock recovery posted by someone in forums. Download that, try to go in fastboot mode and try fastboot flash recovery recovery_name.img. I think once you've locked the bootloader it may not work but worth a shot.

THANK YOU NOOB!!
I managed to get it fixed. Turns out HTC hosted that exact file so I downloaded it and it fixed my phone. Good times..
So, I have a dilemma. I am currently S-ON running TACHYON 1.2 (Android 4.3)
HBOOT 2.28.0000
Radio 2.23.10.0123/4
I updated the hboot and radio while S-ON. Now, I've decided I'd like to go S-OFF. According to JuopunutBear I need to be on a stock RUU for their S-OFF to work. I tried running the newest ICS RUU a few weeks ago and found that it would just error out when it was checking the file because the radios and hboot on the phone were newer than the ones on the RUU. Can I step backwards in HBOOT versions whlie S-ON or have I kind of screwed myself? Or is there a better option I haven't thought about?
Thanks
Just install a stock Rom to run s-off program. You are on a stock hboot, so no problem there.

It's a stock hboot, yes. But the RUU won't run because it is an older version hboot.
You need s-off to downgrade. Just install a stock based Rom that is rooted and run s-off procedure. You will have no issues. After s-off if you want, you can ruu
Sent from my DNA using my mind.
Step 1 from Unlimited: Verify - You are on Stock RUU (not FreshROM, Stock Rooted, HarmonyROM - none of these will work!)
They say not to be rooted or anything. What difference does it make?
Also, what do you mean by "stock rom"? Is there a stock rom I can install that is not an RUU? (maybe that's a dumb question but I don't know lol)

A stock rooted RUU would work. I was in your predicament once. First, do a nandroid backup then use this guide it'll get you to s-off. If you want to downgrade, then use this guide to accomplish this.
Thanks guys for the help. Installed the rom listed in the guide and it worked great. S-OFF now!! (Took me long enough...I've had the phone for 2 years!)
It installed JuopunutBear's hboot but whatever. I'd probably rather stick with a stock hboot but I can do that later.
Restored my nandroid backup and I'm back up and running like I never left.
Just flash this ROM and boot image, and you should be able to S-OFF, I can't remember if stock recovery is needed but that can be flashed separately as well if needed, but I don't think it is.

So, All was well until I decided to flash the stock hboot back to the phone. I put the file on the sd card and renamed it ph98img.zip and flashed it in fastboot. It said it was successful and that I was running hboot 2.28 and radio 2.23.10.0123/4. Then I rebooted and it hung up at the white screen with green htc logo. I pulled the battery and rebooted holding the power and volume buttons. It booted to fastboot so I tried a few things. I tried flashing a recovery but it said that remote was not allowed and failed. Then I tried opening the recovery I already had on the phone from fastboot and it gave me the software download icon. Nothing happened so I pulled the battery and tried to boot back to fastboot. This time it wouldn't even get to fastboot. The white screen with HTC logo comes up and then the screen goes blank. Then the software download icon comes up and then shortly there after a red triangle with an exclamation point takes its place.
That went downhill fast! Any suggestions?
EDIT: Pulling the SD card allows me to get back into fastboot! But I'm still not sure what to do. Is it because my bootloader is locked?

In fastboot does it say s-off? Try manually flashing the boot.img by extracting it. If you haven't setup enviroment variable for fastboot put the boot.img in the same directory as fastboot.exe and use command prompt by typing
Code:
cd C:\Android\platform-tools (or wherever it is for you)
Then type
Code:
fastboot flash boot boot.img
I was able to put an RUU on another sd card and flash that. So now I'm on ICS 4.03.605.2 and running. But I still haven't solved my recovery problems.
According to this thread: androidforums.com/rezound-all-things-root/550408-s-off-guide-info-return-stock.html
I can either use juopunutbear's hboot (which I just flashed over the top of) to flash a new recovery or I can compile a recovery in a ph98img file (which I don't know how to do or want to do).
My question is: What happens if I unlock my bootloader while S-OFF? (Yes, it says s-off on the bootloader screen.) Will that solve my problem or do I have to go back to juopunutbear's hboot?

You can unlock when S-OFF, but there is no reason to, you can get a PH98img.zip of CWM here: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1914215 or TWRP here: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1902381 and just copy it to your sd card (remember to name it exactly PH98IMG.zip, beware the Windoze "double zip" issue) then pop it in the phone, boot into Hboot with the USB disconnected and it should recognize it and flash either CWM or TWRP. from there you can flash ANYTHING you want, being S-OFF with custom recovery allows you to flash anything, no fastboot commands required.
Also, since you are S-OFF, your Hboot is mostly irrelevant, but should be the matching version to your radios... an engineered hboot (like Juopunutbears) would allow fastboot commands well locked, but fastboot isn't generally needed once S-OFF has been obtained...

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.

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
