Hboot 1.49.0011

Phone: Evo 3D GSM

Hboot: 1.49.0011 with S-On Unlocked

CID: CID__044

Software: 1.22.707.2

I flashed LeeDroid ROM v5.2.1 into my phone wiping existing data and cache.

Removed my existing SDCARD and put in an empty one formatted to FAT32.

Plugged in USB cable.

Set to Usb Debugging Enabled and CHARGE ONLY mode.

Then I proceeded to STEP1.EXE

I let the phone fully rebooted by itself.

Then I proceeded with STEP2.EXE

During Step 2, I noticed my phone rebooted few times going straight into Fastboot USB. Each time the bootloader showed

**Relocked**

**Security Warning**

SHOOTER_U PVT SHIP S-ON RL

HBOOT-1.49.0011

After a long wait about 5-10 minutes with my screen showing silver HTC writing on a dark grey black background.

Finally it reboot to bootloader the same info as above.

I can't even reboot into my phone as the phone keeps going back into the Bootloader unless I unlock it again using the HTC unlock token.

Hboot remained as 1.49.0011.

Tried many times with/out Goldcard method

Where did I go wrong? :confused:
[HTC EVO 3D] Flashmaniac:
did you have a green status bar? I guess u didn't. Dont worry bro, easy to fix.

Just get this http://downloads.unrevoked.com/recoveries/cwm-4.0.1.4-shooteru.img recovery img and flash it using fastboot. Then u can go back into recovery and restore ur backup or flash the rom. It's the ****ing cid that won't let us all have s-off :(

if you have more troubles, let me know I will help you bro.
[HTC EVO 3D] Tones1971:
trying to follow the guide on the first post. I have a UK GSM Evo 3d just received today. On the HTC Dev site it is not listed for bootloader unlocking. Can i just use the Rogers one which i think is GSM?

Also the multiupload link is down for the PG86IMG.zip file. Can i get that from elsewhere?

My phone has version 1.49.0018. Am i ok to unlock bootloader and is this needed to get s-off and install custom roms etc?
[HTC EVO 3D] Flashmaniac:
check the second post, there is a script from me which will do everything for you accept htc unlock method. is your device branded?

you need to choose emma!

RUU's are back up from the looks of it.

Now I need to learn this gold card thingy 8)

to try your method out Flash
[HTC EVO 3D] Flashmaniac:
don't try it yet. A friend of mine (who has the same branding as you do)

couldn't do it yet with goldcard.

I am working on a fully working solution for everybody.

I might have figured out a way how to change/skip the CID.

but there is a goldcard tool coming with my tool, you just have to click and click :)

you can try using mmc0 instead of mmc1 (standard on the goldcard tool)
[HTC EVO 3D] Tones1971:
Phone has no branding. Bought SIM Free as they are now going fairly cheap here.
[HTC EVO 3D] Flashmaniac:
simfree != branding

just because you are simfree does not mean your unbranded.

tell me ur cid and i will tell u if my tools works for u m8.

u know adb? if yes:

adb shell getprop ro.cid

thanks
[HTC EVO 3D] Tones1971:
Thanks for the help. Im in work at the minute so ill check when i get home. Have bit of experience of adb, rooting, flashing etc as this is my 4th android phone and have gone through similar steps with each of those.
[HTC EVO 3D] Flashmaniac:
kk better so. I am at work now too.

That's good to hear, should be easy to check for u :)
[HTC EVO 3D] jacktackle:
hi flashmaniac, you are my last hope :)

what is did!

unlocked the device using htc dev.

flash recovery and flashed leedroid rom. everything went smooth like butter.

than i figured out that in leedroids rom, there is no quick menu in scroll down than i decided to flash some other rom. everything went allright but i screwed my wi-fi.

now what did is flashed another kernel( which unfortunately was an CDMA kernel which i figured out after screwing the device)

now i have unlocked device with recovery but would not boot any custom rom.

i'm screwed! can you bring me out of this hell? its 5 days i'm strugging.

my software is 1.24.515.6 and hboot is 1.49.0018

i searched the whole world and cannot find factory ruu for this software. i tried 1.24.515.2 but its for hboot 1.49.0012 and lower.

i cannot change cid cuz its done only with the working evo 3d but mind is only rebooting.

bot a universal charger to charge the battery to try all the things in the world.

no hope. gave it to service center they take 3 days and did not touch my device just pulled it back from them. :(

now what shall i do?? i bot it used it for only 2 days and than this disaster!!!

please help somebody
[HTC EVO 3D] Flashmaniac:
You can flash a kernel via fastboot.

Just take the one from the original rom you have been using it and:

fastboot flash boot boot.img

boot = kernel

must be for GSM of course dude.
[HTC EVO 3D] Tuoni:
Are there any mirrors for the PG86IMG.zip? The multiupload site is down by the looks of it.
[HTC EVO 3D] Flashmaniac:
check post 2 dude.
[HTC EVO 3D] DuratecPaul:
Flash you one busy little boy, dont melt your cpu ahh err brain...

goldcard made with mmc1 using http://www.addictivetips.com/mobile/how-to-make-gold-card-for-htc-desire-hd/

with choices being mmc0 or mmc1...

Edit: I just read back a couple pages .. to do goldcard with mmc0

umm will redo goldcard using mmc0

If you want pm me for any testing you want me to try.

I will hold of until I get the all clear.
[HTC EVO 3D] Flashmaniac:
mmc1 tested and confirmed not to be working...

I will tonight try to "brand" my device flashing a vodafone ruu after I have removed s-off. Let's see if that works if not it is sure that goldcards are avoided by HTC.
[HTC EVO 3D] DuratecPaul:
cool mmc0 goldcard ready :)
[HTC EVO 3D] Flashmaniac:
then try it. If you have problems I will help you to solve them. Backup ur current system. Maybe mmc0 does work mate
[HTC EVO 3D] DuratecPaul:
so do I relock boot first? or leave it unlocked?
[HTC EVO 3D] Flashmaniac:
my script does it for u, u don't need to :P

but it doesn't matter...
[HTC EVO 3D] jacktackle:
THANKS flashmaniac but where can i get that kernel from? i did not back up you c? i think my evo 3d is become a fancy piece now. any other solutions?
[HTC EVO 3D] collect_sampah:
You were right. I didn't see any green status bar. I couldn't restore my ROM backup after that using recovery. Recovery was stuck at flashing boot image. Neither will my phone boot. Keep looping at bootloader. So I changed back to CID__044 --> relock the hboot --> restore my phone using RUU --> unlock again using HTC method --> reroot. Now I'm back to square one but at least I can boot my phone again. Thought I've bricked my phone :eek:

So what you suggested is that I should go to recovery after the failed STEP2.EXE and flashed the ROM.ZIP. That way my Hboot would be downgraded to 1.49.007?
[HTC EVO 3D] Flashmaniac:
in every rom you can download here, is a boot.img which you can extract and flash the way I told u.

---------- Post added at 05:38 PM ---------- Previous post was at 05:35 PM ----------

Uhm you really can change ur cid? thats not possible without eng-soff.

go into bootloader for me please and do that:

fastboot getvar cid

paste it here

then change it to HTC__001 and do that again:

fastboot getvar cid

and paste it. if you have succes changing ur cid, you have superCID which is quite unique. btw for my dowmngrade cid HTC__001 would work fine :)

and no you cannot flash my rom.zip from recovery, that's not possible.
[HTC EVO 3D] jacktackle:
Flashmaniac, Flashmaniac, Flashmaniac...

i cannot thank you enough man. i took boot imp from your file and gues what?? it booted..

man you saved me fortune. i cant thank you enough.

may god bless you with lot of fortune and a evergreen health ever. love you man!

now i'm feeling so relaxed! i'll report what errors i'm facing if any.

thanks you from the bottom of my heart.

Flashmaniac, my wi-fi have a problem. no matter what rom i flash. its not working. n e suggestions?
[HTC EVO 3D] Tones1971:
Hi sorry for the delay, been a busy day. The device cid is HTC__001
[HTC EVO 3D] Flashmaniac:
good, use my tool. u won't have issues:)

u are unbranded. in the end it will stuck at the progress bar with a tiny small place - dont worry its ok just reboot when it stucked there for like five minutes. some post backs u can see pictures where it will stuck. all u need now is my tool, htc unlock method first and then flash a custom rom to be prerooted.
[HTC EVO 3D] Tones1971:
Excellent. Will give this a try shortly. Thanks for your help.
[HTC EVO 3D] Flashmaniac:
ok folks. I am sad to say that, but it's not possible to downgrade for rooted devices. I tried to brand my device with a vodafone ruu and it breaks up after some seconds... so don't use my tool please. for now I hope ....

Please let me know if it worked out.
[HTC EVO 3D] scariola:
Odd. I changed my cid being only unlocked through htcdev: with s-on. with hboot 1.49.0011

Cid command took 2 reboots; changed from HTC__044, to HTC__001.

Used the thread on how to downgrade almost every gsm EVO 3d, by hexediting the PG86IMG.ZIP, finally it flashed through bootloader with no issues.
[HTC EVO 3D] Flashmaniac:
how did you do that? I tried that with 3 different devices that didn't work.

You said already that you have changed the CID in the PG89IMG.zip. That didn't work either. Is that fun for you to kid people? lol...
[HTC EVO 3D] scariola:
I see what you've been doing, but following the other thread here on the forum, I got away from my 1.49.0011 hboot s-on, now rocking revolutionary.

I'm telling you I changed cid, being s-on and unlocked. I did it twice from fastboot, first reboot checked with fastboot getvar cid, try again and success.

Those who unlock at htcdev, note your cid beforehand, cause after having to relock and unlock, the unlocktoken.bin would fail, seeing as I changed cid. Once I changed it back, unlock token went through.

I'm honestly not trying to screw around here. I appreciate the tool you made, but my phone goes through the reboots with no green progress bar, like someone else here said.

I downgraded my hboot 1.49.0011 s-on using the hexeditor trick. I honestly don't care to "kid" people, just help.

Otherwise I wouldn't be running my OC KERNEL on this POS.
[HTC EVO 3D] Flashmaniac:
thanks mate !!! I tried that now again with a friend of mine and that really worked out!! thank you a lot!!!

---------- Post added at 10:34 PM ---------- Previous post was at 09:55 PM ----------

Download of my tool removed for now. Uploading new version which will change ur cid if necessary :) see you tommorow!
[HTC EVO 3D] Tuoni:
I saw your method, but honestly I have no idea how to flash any rom without CWR and I don't know how to get it without doing one of those tutorials. Yeah I'm new to this and I'm an idiot lol. I tried flashing cwr with fastboot but it didn't work. :S

Oh, and the download link with your method isn't working either :(
[HTC EVO 3D] mentaist12:
Hello everyone,

i currently own the good ol' fashion nexus one and i decided to stick with htc.

right now i have my eyes set on the evo 3d but i would like to have some more opinions on the phone from people who acctually own\owned one.

how fast is it?

hows the 3d?

is the 1gb or rom that restrictive? [evo 3d gsm users]

does it run demanding games well? [shadowngun, GTA III, dead space, modern combat 3, etc..]

whats the highest stable overclock and how does it effect performance?

and some general notes you have to say about the device.

thanks you all and best regards ;)
[HTC EVO 3D] sitlet:
Umm, fast? Obviously not the fastest phone out anymore, as its about 8 months old.

Works good, but pretty much just a gimick. I have watched a few 3d youtube videos, but I would never be able to stare at this small of a screen to watch a two hour movie.

I believe 1.5 or 1.6 is the highest stable you can go.
[HTC EVO 3D] kthejoker20:
Don't buy this pos.
[HTC EVO 3D] dfskevinohyeah:
when i saw you name, i thought that i remember i labeled you as a troll from some posts a while back, now reading your reply my initial thoughts were correct.

this phone is very good but if you want a phone that you expect many different roms to flash maybe you should get another phone

I say just wait for the phone that everyone wants = more devs
[HTC EVO 3D] m00nhead:
i second this. good phone...not an extreme amount of community/dev support. there is plenty, but it's not a phone that has some great number of experimental roms or anything.
[HTC EVO 3D] sprintuser1977:
Good phone, but imo should go with something newer if tech interest you. If not, go for it. Can get it really cheap now compared to the other phones with same tech. 3d is just a plus, not a must have but fun to play with and show off to friends.

And 3d boobs = :-)

From the giant: Galaxy Note
[HTC EVO 3D] Saneless One:
It currently has the best resolution, openness of storage, good processor speed, and ram available on sprint. The 3D is an OK extra but even without it it's the best phone right now.
[HTC EVO 3D] m00nhead:
does anyone really even use the 3d capabilities?
[HTC EVO 3D] JohnM:
how fast is it?

The UI has no lag, if that's what you mean

hows the 3d?

It's annoying and strains your eyes, but pretty cool the first few weeks. After that, you really stop using it.

does it run demanding games well? [shadowngun, GTA III, dead space, modern combat 3, etc..]

Yep, no lag

whats the highest stable overclock and how does it effect performance?

The phone's stock clock is 1.2Ghz. The processor is meant to be at 1.5Ghz so that's the highest stable you'll go. Some phones can get up to 1.8Ghz and 1.9Ghz.

Additional Notes:

Don't get the evo 3D unless you need a new phone now. This phone is 8 months old meaning the new Evo will come out soon. Also, the GSM Evo 3D doesn't have much dev support. If you want great dev support, try the Samsung Galaxy SII.
[HTC EVO 3D] heathmcabee:
Pretty much what this guy said.. I was going to say. So Kudos.
[HTC EVO 3D] shook187:
Get this phone if its for cheap money, otherwise get a GS2.
[HTC EVO 3D] wrapkgb:
I wouldn't waste your upgrade on a phone that's been out for 8 months
[HTC EVO 3D] EniGmA1987:
At stock it is meh, put a custom ROM and kernel and it is very fast and smooth.

Just a gimmick that youll use for a day when you first get it and to show off to people that will also get tired of it in 5 minutes

I have CDMA, IDK if you mean the 1GB internal storage space? All ROMs install and run fine and have plenty of room left

Never played any of those but I would imagine so. It has pretty beefy processing power and as I said before, if you put a custom ROM and kernel on it then things become VERY smooth. Benchmarks are subjective and everyone has their favorite, but some people can pull over 4000 score in Quadrant benchmark with this phone.

Highest I have seen is just over 2GHz, but I dont think that is stable 100%. Highest known to be stable is a bit over 1.7GHz, most are completely stable around 1.5-1.6GHz range. I have my phone set up with a 2 stage OnDemand governor with a max speed of 1.4GHz

Performance from overclocking is big, especially on a custom kernel like AnthraX. That kernel has different GPU and bus speeds in it as well, and if you run between 1.4-1.6GHz you have an overclocked GPU as well as overclocked CPU. Going above that lowers GPU to stock speeds to help stability.

Performance is VERY good at stock though and you shouldnt need to OC to run anything.

Battery life is average Id say, but if you get just the right setup and tweak things just right you can get amazing battery life. I have gone over 3 days on a single charge with very light usage. On heavy usage it is like any phone and only goes about 5-6 hours.
[HTC EVO 3D] Saneless One:
I keep kidding myself that I'll watch a 3D movie or so one of these days. So far I think I watched half of Avatar.
[HTC EVO 3D] mentaist12:
well thats kind of disappointing i thought this phone would have better opinions...

well then i would like that ull recommend a phone if possible id like to stay with htc... loving sense and loving build quality.. and the gsII isnt a possibility for me...

i wanted the evo 3d over the sensation xe because of the ram..

the question is... is it worth the wait and the money to wait for the next gen snapdragon s4 htc devices which will probebly be annouced at mwc in a month..
[HTC EVO 3D] eboogie33:
great phone fast responsive with the latest update battery life has been great for me. every game i threw at it , it played it with no lag . I think it will take some time for devs to really get a hold of the 3d thing to get that and 4g into asop roms. I found this app on htc hub called phereo thats a 3d pic sharing app thats got me hooked on the 3d side of it again lol. my stable max over clock is 1728 mhz hope this helps
[HTC EVO 3D] metamasterplay:
I don't know what these guys are talking about. This is by far the best quality/price you could get right now. There is the Motorola Atrix 4G which is also cheap but not as good as the Evo3D. The only dark spot is the camera which is good but not as great as other phones.

Evo 3D is always on the top 5 most popular phones on XDA. so I guess deving is still ongoing. Most devs are just waiting for an ICS leak to get back. And GSM dev section has nearly all flavours: Sense 3.0, Sense 3.5, AOSP (MIUI, ICS and CM) and I have no doubt that even if some builds miss one or two things, they will get mature in the near future.

Anyway, my choices would be:

If you have money, want speed with good quality build and can wait: HTC Edge.

If you have money, want speed with good quality build and cannot wait: HTC Amaze.

If you don't have money, want speed with good quality build: HTC Evo 3D.

And since I do like to use my phone (using like calling family, checking mails, feeds, etc. not like running useless benchmarks) and want it to stick around, I would never recommend a plastic phone like GSII.
[HTC EVO 3D] ckoadiyn:
What this guy said however I have cdma version.
[HTC EVO 3D] lyon21:
I actually use 3D a lot. I have watched quit a few movies, played almost all of the games and love just checking out 3D pictures. Some people complain about it but I love it. I love the phone overall. The only thing that would stop me from buying this phone, is the possibility of a quad core soon.

Sent from my ICS lovin 3D!!!

[HTC EVO 3D] kthejoker20:
I wouldn't think to hard. I think living in your parents basement is getting to you.

How are you enjoying your new screen name after you got the last one banned?
[HTC EVO 3D] Drachen808:
All of this, plus I want to add that there has been a recent flurry of 2-3 devs (rom and kernel) wanting to get a 3d in the last several days. This only adds to our stable of great devs.
[HTC EVO 3D] brownhornet:
I see no point in buying the 3D this late in the game unless you're planning on buying a used one off the net for cheap or something. But if you're talking about using an upgrade, I wouldn't. Couple months from now new phones with LTE will be coming out and youll hate yourself.
[HTC EVO 3D] Deveal2014:
I wouldn't get it, it got underwear very fast. I cannot wait for something better to come out imo htc dropped the ball with this phone.
[HTC EVO 3D] mentaist12:
well LTE doesnt bother me since my country will probebly have LTE in a year or so... and im not gonna wait that long.... if the post about the rezound having a global gsm radio is 100% true i would have gotten it.

im looking for something which isnt that expensive.. powerful fast and htc.

how thick it is? couldnt care less.... im and addict for htc's sense and build quality.

my n1 lasted 2 years and still is in great condition the chipset just isnt delivering anymore.... need to go on the dual core age. :o
[HTC EVO 3D] tokuzumi:
I am using the CDMA variant, as I'm "across the pond", so I came from the Evo 4G (equivalant to the Nexus One, in terms of ram, and processor speed), to the 3D. At first, I didn't think the 3D was much of an upgrade. It felt laggy, and wasn't what I expected from a dual core device. I gave my old 4G to my wife. After a few weeks, I was checking something on her phone, and I was amazed at how sluggish the 4G felt compared to my 3D. The 3D doesn't give off the greatest first impression. You need to use the device for a few weeks to get a true feel of the phone.

The 3D is a gimmick. I've taken about 10 3D pics. It's like one of those magic eye puzzles from 15 years ago. You get one thing on focus, and hope the rest comes into focus. I didn't use anything else, with regards to 3D.

Games run without a hitch. I'm not an avid gamer, so the most intensive game I ran was the Sims 3 (one of those $0.10 games during their 10 billion downloads celebration). But, in short, games will run much better than they do on your N1.

The 3D will be a decent upgrade from your N1, and if you can find a good deal on one, it would be worth it to pick one up. But if you like rooting (assuming you do, since you have a google phone), you may be better served going with the Galaxy Nexus. Or, you will find out what's coming out in the next month, as you guys always get phones way before we do in the US.
[HTC EVO 3D] brownhornet:
Well considering HTC doesn't have that many good options out there, if you're set on HTC then get it I guess. I wouldn't but hey thats me lol. Then again I probably never even turned the 3D on again after the first 3 or 4 days and the phone got boring to me quick.
[HTC EVO 3D] edufur:
Get a Samsung! HTC is much like Apple in that they want to CONTROL you. The unlocks they delivered are just a pain in the ass. They aren't the real unlock that the community wants. Samsung, on the other hand, does not control you this way. Unlocking and rooting a Samsung is a more consistent and community approved endeavor.

The SGS2 is a better phone right now... but if you can wait, wait. There are going to be some quad core options this year. As far a LTE goes... that will only matter if you are in an area that either HAS LTE or is going to get it soon. If getting it soon, definately wait for a phone like the Galaxy Nexus or the SGS3. If you aren't in an area that HAS LTE or is getting it SOON... go with the SGS2. You want to match the service you have. And when you roll to LTE, you update again.
[HTC EVO 3D] mentaist12:
ive acctually been dreaming of the htc codename "ville" super slick and featuring the new msm8960 which right now seems to kick ass! but its probebly a very long wait [figured smth like 4-6 months].

id love a galaxy nexus although it isnt htc but it costs like 250$ more than the evo 3d.

might be worth the cost since one of the best things about the n1 was its versatility which usually comes built in the google phones.
[HTC EVO 3D] brownhornet:
Believe me,I was HTC only for the longest too so I know where you're coming from. From the vogue to the 3d..but then I sampled the GS2 and well...:cool:

the only samsung device i will take is the galaxy nexus but that 250$ more...

the sgs II is owned by half the people in the country and i hate the touchwiz so much... and i always loved about the n1 is the possibility to have sense if u want..
[HTC EVO 3D] Rob_ec:
Best phone I've had ! It does everything i need it to do and more.! Gaming is perfect once u install a custom.ROM even.stock works well

Unless you plan too use the hdmi out a lot or extreme extreme multitasking I don't see why not.to get this phone.

The only thing I dislike about this phone is camera its good but.not.as good as newer devices

The 3 d is cool its.not.a.gimmick if u want it you got it !

If you want to take and share 3 d photos then its perfect for u LOL just don't expect to send it around cus it only works in 3d or its.split in two frames
[HTC EVO 3D] Boss2212:
My opinion is that if you are regular user than u will like sense ui and if u are power user then u will like the evolution devs..there few rom's already out there using ICS and sense 3.6...love d phone...great screen resolution...overclock to 1.68 ghz...3d camera is boss...n yeah 3d games also looks good
