To cut the story short, my EVO was working fine, it was S-off, Rooted, Unlocked with a custom rom. Two nights ago i decide to upgrade my HBOOT to 2.10 using RUU_JEWEL_CL_JB43_SENSE50_MR_Sprint_WWE_4.13.651.4 and everything went downhill from there.
This is my current situation and wondering if it's still fixable:
Phone is RELOCKED,Unrooted but S-off. Stuck in a bootloop where it stays on the Splash screen no matter what rom you install. FastBoot commands give me FAILED (remote : not allowed), tried re-using RUU but I keep getting Error 120: BATTERY under 30% while my phone battery is at 84%, I'm stuck and don't know what to do anymore.
and yes, I can still use recovery TWRP.
Any suggestions? Please and thanks for the help.

Are you installing roms for the new layout
Sent from my EVO using XDA Free mobile app
Also, did you unlock the bootloader again? Do this before you do anything else. Also, as stated above, make sure you're flashing ROM's based on the new format. ROM's based on the old partition format (software version 3.17 or older) will not work. Additionally, what version of TWRP are you using? You have to use TWRP that's for the new format, also.

Yea and I updated the HBOOT because people usually say that updating is for the better for call qualities and signal retrieval.

No, I haven't attempted to unlock it again, but will do so now. Also, these are the two roms that i have tried and both didn't work Viper4G 4.0.0 and the Sense 5 (4.3) Y18 Version. They are both made for the new partition. Well i started with TWRP 2.7.0.0b but then downgraded it to 2.6.0.0 since i thought maybe the TWRP is failing to install my ROM's correctly.

So far so good, I was able to unlock bootloader again and flashed the recovery you gave me. Should I flash a ROM now to see if it worked?
*Tip for those who can't get bootloader to re-unlock again through Fastboot. Put the Unlock_code.bin in the same directory as Fastboot and just use the command fastboot flash unlocktoken unlock_code.bin*
UPDATE:
Tried flashing a ROM, everything goes well but at the end of installation or wipe I get E: unable to mount /system and I cannot mount manually neither through recovery. I am also noticing that when the phone restarts it stays on the splash screen still but my HTCSyn Manager seems to be detecting it because it pops up mentioning that it couldn't connect to my phone.

Chris, I got it working this morning, by coincidence/luck. I put my phone in RUU mode using fastboot oem rebootRUU and then ran the actually RUU utility and from there on it took off. Either way, thanks for you reply man, it'll probably help someone when they encounter this situation.

I rooted my phone and had Revolutionary recovery. I installed Rom Manager and installed the recovery, and now I cant get to my recovery screen no matter what I have tried.

5.0.2.0 CWR?
Have you rebooted?
ROM: Warm TwoPointThree
Kernel: MegAnthraX
Software: 2.08.651.3
Baseband: 0.97.10.0808
PRI: 1.24_003
Don't use rom manager to flash recovery. Also, just my opinion, but TWRP recovery is better than clockwork. So, find the TWRP thread, grab the PG86IMG.zip and flash in hboot. Should solve all your issues.
Rebooted quite a few times, still cant get to recovery mode. I guess this is where being a noob kind of sucks, but how do I flash when I cant get into recovery, or how do I flash in hboot?
You don't have fastboot checked under power settings, do you? If so, uncheck it.

There are essentially three methods to flashing a custom recovery on the EVO 3D with S-OFF (revolutionary method you mentioned using above).
1) Flash from normal android mode: My application works well for this, Flash Image GUI, as well as flashing kernels, especially when being away from or not having a computer available.
2) Flash through the bootloader by putting a PG86IMG.zip file on the root of your sdcard. This file with the recovery.img loaded inside is available at the TWRP site.
3) Flash through fastboot by using the following command: fastboot flash recovery c:\downloads\twrp-recovery.img
All three of these methods will load the custom recovery image into the recovery partition on a revolutionary s-off EVO 3D.
Hope that helps!
Every time I try to flash the PG86IMG.zip in my bootloader I keep getting a error that says "Main Version is older! Update fail!" I just dont get what I am doing wrong there.
It worked! Thank you so much joey krim!

Odd. I would only expect to see this error if you're loading a PG86IMG.zip file which contains ADDITIONAL files, other than just the recovery.img.
This error is usually only present for people who used the HTC unlock method. Those who used the revolutionary unlocked method should not see this error message.
Perhaps when you stated you loaded the revolutionary recovery, you meant the revolutionary version of cwm recovery and unlocked your device using HTC's unlock method?

Great to hear the process worked for you. Which of the three methods ended up working best for you?
I used your app and then flashed a twrp recovery, so happy that its back to normal, it has happened to me once before, and I fixed it on my own, but nothing was working this time.
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.

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.

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.

I flashed boot image by: fastboot flash boot boot.img which is included in the stock ROM zip file.

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.
Got an old phone from a friend which I'm using since wife broke her phone and I'm trying to decide what to replace it with.
Anyhow, I have an Aria with hboot 1.03, I have unlocked it via the HTC site and managed to get Cyano 10 on it. It is still s-on and I've tried multiple times to redownload Cyano 11 and always get an error of "Error in <name>.zip (Status 0) Installation Aborted". I'm making an assumption based on research that it is due to a combination of s-on and hboot 1.03 so I need to kick it down to 1.02 and s-off it. However, I have been unable to find a valid link for the Official HTC Froyo link to downgrade so I can run Revolutionary to s-off and move ahead.
Thanks in advance.
Hmm, can't find a link either... I can reupload it for you
But before you do that, try updating your recovery to this: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2474662
HTCdev unlock shouldn't have any problems with CM11, so it's probably your recovery...
Anyway, here's the RUU
http://goo.gl/OBVJL7
md5sum: 66d703b8a92fc382c38ceec4992a379c
And the rom.zip extracted from it if you just want to run it directly from the phone:

Edit: Here's a list of them instead of just the AT&T one: http://www.androidruu.com/?developer=Liberty
Thank you Win, that did it. I had to fastboot the CMW as it wouldn't upgrade through recovery, after that I just flashed CM11.

Problem is that due to S-On it is not possible to write to recovery partition from recovery. You also can't write to boot partition, but you can install ROMs without problems if you flash boot image separately through fastboot.

Boot images can be flashed from recovery just fine with S-ON... maybe you're thinking of newer (but not newest) HTC devices? I've heard they did that

Possible. I own one of them (points at signature) and it's been that way for me then. When I rooted my Gratia way back, I also directly did the S-OFF so I never checked the procedure with S-ON. Have been a newbie at that time.
So I'm in a similar boat. I have an old aria, and seeing a cm11, id like to try it (though a nexus is my dd). Anyway, i had cm7 on it, went through some old nandroids, and finally got back to 2.1 just after i used unrevoked on it. I've tried to flash the posted rom.zip (2.2.2, so i can then s-off and /or upgrade hboot [which i also tried to do via htcdev with no success]), it fails a sig check on my cwm 2.5.0.1, telling me bad, even though i verified the md5. Figured it could be the recovery, but i cannot flash the newer version on here via ./fastboot flash recovery recovery.img. i also tried ./fastboot boot recovery.img to no avail. I also couldnt flash the recovery through the old cwm. Im baffled a bit here... Any suggestions are welcomed.
Im thinking of trying to put my sim in it and see if the old att update would go through, any thoughts on that?
Hello. I am at a loss. I just received an HTC Evo 4G LTE today and tried to root it with WinDroid Unversal HTC Toolkit v1.1. I unlocked the Bootloader and installed TWRP version 2.7.0.0 and that is working and I can boot into that. I next tried to flash a ROM and any ROM I try I get "error executing updater binary in zip." I read somewhere that I had to wipe data, system, cache, Dalvik and .android_secure. So I used TWRP to do that. Now when I reboot, it says I don't have an OS installed and when I choose to reboot, it just stays on the HTC logo and that's it. I still get the same error when trying to flash a ROM in TWRP. I tried flashing a ROM with fastboot and the latest RUU on HTC's website but it tells me to obtain correct RUU and try again. I don't know what else I can try. I've also tried relocking the bootloader, but then I can't get into recovery and doesn't make a difference with RUU. I just rewiped everything again, but now it won't mount the internal memory. Just the micro sd. I wiped the internal memory and now it will mount, but I just tried to flash a ROM again and get the same "error executing updater binary in zip." I also tried to flash boot.img and that worked ok. Then tried flashing rom using fastboot and got "data length is too large". I even tried fastboot erase cache, fastboot oem rebootRUU then tried flashing again with same results. Now when I turn off the phone and turn it back on, it goes directly to hboot.. can't even get to htc logo now. I would very much like to just go back to stock with no root. Nothing is working, please help :crying:

I am running HBOOT 2.10.0000. Do you mean ROM from this forum? I have not tried either. Originally this all started trying to flash SuperSU.zip and that's when I started getting this error. I tried using: JEWEL_Sense5.5_Android4.3-V4.zip as that seemed the most current version. What ROM would you recommend?

I'm assuming you mean update TWRP. There is 2.7.1.0. I have 2.7.0.0. However, I don't think it was specifically for jewel as I had used the one that came with WinDroid before. This one I downloaded from TWRP's website for this phone. I just updated it.
I think I'll wait to try flashing a ROM again until I get a recommendation of a good one. Thanks for the replies, both of you.

I updated TWRP to the version in the link you gave me. I thought I'd try the RUU again from HTC's site after relocking the bootloader, but it doesn't even show I have anything installed. Tried updating, but still getting "Obtain corrent RUU and try again". I want to try JEWEL_Sense5.5_Android4.3-V4.zip from this forum, but I have to go S-OFF. Do I have to be booted into android for this to work or can I do it from fastboot? Couldn't find anywhere where this was clear as I don't have any OS installed. I would like to find out first before I try. I'm about to give up and call it bricked if I can't get it up and running soon. Thanks for any help you can give me

Did u run the ruu to get to hboot 2.10? Your not soff aleady? I dunno much about sense roms but i know the rest you have to use fastboot for the boot image.. I dont think your bricked
I updated TWRP to the one modified by captain throwback in the link you gave me. Wiped everything but Micro SDcard. My bootloader is unlocked and am S-ON (never turned S-OFF) and tried out JEWEL_Sense5.5_Android4.3-V4.zip from this forum. I have hboot 2.10. That's what the phone came with. I'm getting the error: Error excuting updater binary in zip. It gets to Setting up /data/app... , Setting up /system... , Setting up symlinks... then error message. For some reason, I have no /misc. Someone in IRC said that was weird. It seems that my partitions are messed up according to him. Any ideas? Thanks for the help, all of you!
Did you reboot recovery after wipe but before install?

I did not.. but here I go :fingers-crossed:
You guys are awsome! It works. Ran into the enter password for encrypted data thingy, but I followed http://dietrichschroff.blogspot.com/2013/01/nexus-7-password-to-decrypt-storage.html and it worked. I thought this phone would never work again. Thank you all very much. YOU ROCK! :laugh::laugh::laugh::laugh:

Ok I am having a weird issue with my phone now which seems to be totally different than all stories people have posted.
All people that have posted similar problems can't boot the phone and it gets stuck at the HTC screen when booting and they mentioned they can't use USB and some can't even charge the phone.
But for my case, after the HTC screen the mobile loads in the lock mode, showing only the clock and at the top left where the notifications are it is showing a warning mark but I can't read it cause phone is locked of course.
The USB connection works and luckily the USB debugging is enabled so I can have access to the phone through USB, but the problem is that I am stuck there, when I try to unlock the phone by pulling the window up, the HTC green loading screen comes instead and then it gets stuck there. but still the USB connection is working fine.
But after a short time which is 1 or 2 minutes, the phone restarts itself and then boots up again and does the same thing into an infinite loop until I shut it down.
I have the phone saying on boot loader Tampered, Unlocked but sadly its showing S-On
I have tried all the ways to make it S-OFF to try and lock the bootloader and remove the tamper so maybe it would help booting but I Can't get it to S-OFF.
The reasons are that my Hboot version is 2.46 and the android version is 4.3 so the only 2 working S-OFF programs for my versions are rumrunner and firewater.
For firewater I can't use it as it requires internet connection, but as I statted I Can't access the phone at all and it doesn't connect to wifi or even my SIM.
Rumrunner I have tried it, but the problem is when rumrunner gets to the "test 2" phase it takes long and the phone restarts itself before it manages to finish resulting in a CCCC error and ending the rumrunner program.
I remember what created the problem, I was trying to fix the fingerprint sensor and I RELOCKED the booter with oem through htcdev to see if it would help, after that when I went in bootloader it showed TAMPERED, RELOCKED and SECURITY WARNING, I got really scared so I unlocked the phone again with the unlock bin and it went back to normal and the security warning was gone, but from there the problem started.
I have tried wiping the cahce and all data and doing factory reset then I tried installing new ROMs but it didn't work for some reason.
I downloaded the kitkat rom and the jelly bean 4.2.2 ROM and tried both of them, it installs fine and everything is ok but the problem doesn't go and what is more weird is that even tho I installed the Jelly bean 4.2.2 ROM thorugh the Recovery screen, the adb still shows that my android version is 4.3 so I still can't use programs like revone or moonshine.
Please help me repair my phone
Does anyone know what can be wrong or what can I do?
I find it weird that even when installing ROMS this problem still occurs as if I never formatted the phone or installed a new ROM.
And still says Android 4.3 regards of what I do.

try booting into bootloader then flash the boot.img from there. it sounds as if your boot.img is not flashing from recovery.
fastboot flash boot boot.img
is the command to flash the boot loader from fastboot usb.

I did that and now it gets stuck at HTC without opening the phone at all and can't connect USB to it when its on anymore and now restarts the phone after it gets stuck at HTC after 20 seconds or something.
Now boot to recovery and flash the rom again.

Ok untill you actually get this booting correctly, stop just trying different roms. You are S-ON this means you will need to boot to bootloader flash the boot.img first then reboot to recovery and flash the rom that came with the boot.img. you should be doing this with a stock rom and boot.img for you specific device to make sure it works correctly.
If this does not work for you , you will need to run the RUU for you specific carrier. You will need to relock your phone in order to do the ruu
If you are just mix matching your **** it will never work correctly.

Ok I have a quick question.
After the download is finished, how will I copy the ZIP file to my phone since it doesn't boot anymore.
Can I do that from the bootloader with fastboot? or do I need to get SD card and a reader to copy the data to it then put it on the phone?

You need TWRP recovery to install the ROM and i hope you have it already. If not download TWRP and flash it.
In TWRP you have the option to mount your SD card and that should make your phone available as USB on your computer.

You may want to flash the stock sense 6 ROM which is available @ http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2776665

Ok I don't know what actually happened but here is how it is.
I had Clockwork mod recovery so I flashed the TWRP you told me from this forums and right after I did and tried to go into recovery, the phone turned OFF and wouldn't get on again, also it showed me a battery with question mark on it so I thought maybe battery went out and it won't charge, after few minutes I found it showing HTC logo screen then it went off and wouldn't boot or open bootloader again.
I tried to press Volume up + power and all of a sudden it booted into the last ROM I installed which was CM 10.1 Nightflies I think and now the phone is working again some how
Ok it turned out to be that the Question mark screen is just the back ground of the TWRP recovery and it needed time to load thats all cause I managed to get into recovery now.
But the weird thing is that installing the TWRP recovery ONLY I didn't install or flash anything else, fixed the phone and its working fine now.
Now its working super fine.
I managed to make it S-OFF with firewater (rumrunner didn't work for me) and I locked it and removed the Tampered flag.
Now the phone is working great and finger print sensor is working again.
Thanks everyone for the help

Also since I installed the CM 10.1 and it had a google app package with it, it seems the google app package wasn't installed successfully when the phone was still broken.
Do you know any good ROM I should install that will come with the google app package? or anyway to get the original ROM or RUU I don't know
I mean the original OS
