im full rooted and i keep getting this ERROR cant seem to get it to see my device.i got Fastboot unchecked in SETTINGS..im in FastBoot usb mode when i send this command.. htc drivers installed htc sync uninstalled but nothing is giving.

im sure im over looking something somewhere .. thanks for help

C:\Program Files (x86)\Android\android-sdk\platform-tools>adb push misc_version

/data/local/

* daemon not running. starting it now on port 5037 *

* daemon started successfully *

error: device not found
[HTC EVO 3D] mnomaanw:
You should be in Android not fastboot mode.....also turn on USB debugging from settings > applications > development if it is off.

Uninstall HTC Sync if you have it installed.

IMO ADB works only in Android and FASTBOOT works only in bootloader's fastboot mode.
[HTC EVO 3D] HuDuVuDu:
try leaving fastboot in settings checked. That is how I had mine set and I finally got tacoroot to work.
[HTC EVO 3D] andyjjc:
forgot me if this one is a stupid question..

i'm in 2.17 ..

and I've done all teh following instructions..

but,,

when I've got bricked,,

i can't do anything..

please help..

*sorry for my bad english
[HTC EVO 3D] mnomaanw:
Make sure your device is perfectly bricked, it should not turn on even in bootloader.

The red LED should be DIM and solid. It should not blink.

If your device is in this state, you are ready for linux part.(3rd STEP)
[HTC EVO 3D] andyjjc:
Solved..

thanks all..

:)
[HTC EVO 3D] scoot0073:
hahahaa.. thanks i didnt know that i had to b n Android lol..it works now much thanks

edit: i found it lol
[HTC EVO 3D] Will32:
I cannot get this thing to brick, ive looked at holyrollas post, post #359. but its not happening for me. I think htc already patched it on my phone, j/k. any suggestions?

nvm, just bricked, never thought id be excited about that. 15th try

command for relocking ----> fastboot oem lock

You should be in fastboot this time :D

[HTC EVO 3D] scoot0073:
ok i put the 2.08 zip on root of sd card and renamed it to PG86IMG.zip.. inserted the sd card on boot back in to bootloader and scans for tha image but says no image found.. and i am HTC Relocked any ideas
[HTC EVO 3D] sunilromy:
hurray, done on 1.40 lol suddenly ubuntu display got crashed and started displaying junk.

I thought phone is gone, but finally after going into bootloader i was daamm happy. 1.40, done revolutionary, changed splash screen.
[HTC EVO 3D] nate.spangler:
Check to make sure it isn't actually named PG86IMG.ZIP.ZIP
[HTC EVO 3D] animal7296:
So, if I use universal usb installer and make a bootable flash drive of UBUNTU then I can just run that and do this?
[HTC EVO 3D] scoot0073:
no i verified it twice..PG86IMG.ZIP

i even did it PG86IMG.zip lower case .zip and still does no reconize it.

hmmmm
[HTC EVO 3D] grindnmosh:
Ok I successfully downgraded all 3 of my phones. Can someone guide me to a walkrhrough on rooting now. I joined the root world on the HTC method. Thanks.
[HTC EVO 3D] HuDuVuDu:
Once I uninstalled HTC sync, everything went smother. It was starting to get under my skin that the very first step (the easiest step), was getting the better of me. Now I am 1.4 S-OFF.

Thanks for all the help, and for the DEV that made this possible.

PS. I used a VM of Ubuntu in parallels on my MBP for the Linux part. It worked very well.
[HTC EVO 3D] doeboy711:
Ok, so I will attempt this tomorrow morning or late tonight. Quick question though, If I make a backup of the rom in recovery and then preform this method to get off the Hboot 1.5. When I get back on 1.4, can I recover my backup?
[HTC EVO 3D] sniperkill:
Yes...............

Edit: I just noticed your from D.C., I work down there everyday, lol... Well, near there in Rockville, md.
[HTC EVO 3D] sunilromy:
yes. I have done the same.
[HTC EVO 3D] animal7296:
Thank you. I am creating the flash drive now.;)
[HTC EVO 3D] scoot0073:
any other ideas why bootloader is not detecting tha PG86IMG.zip
[HTC EVO 3D] Will32:
Did u take the Rom.zip out of the ruu and rename it to pg86img.zip or did u just rename the whole ruu. Zip to pg86img? U need to rename just the Rom.zip
[HTC EVO 3D] Diarrhea Slushie:
i finally got it! feels so good i want to do it again! but i will tell you my steps, my phone was 1.5, 2.17. not saying it doesn't work on 2.17 but i had problems with 2.17 so, i got to the end of step two then ran the ruu 2.08 exe and downgraded from 2.17 then temp root with zerg.

The bricking part was where i was getting frustrated, but then i got it, when you press volume up, as soon as you see updating count to 4 then pull and put cord back in. i didn't wait for the bar i just counted to 4 as soon as i seen" updating". after the brick everything went peachy! thanks a lot unknown your the man! i hope this helps others
[HTC EVO 3D] mnomaanw:
Yes but if you are making a nandroid of 2.17 rom, then after doing S-oFF you will have to update firmware and radios first by freeza's all in one zip or xHausx zip file. then restore Nandroid
[HTC EVO 3D] scoot0073:
i downloaded this.... zedomax has posted everything below (including the tools) in this link here -> DOWNLOAD

then copied the RUU_Shooter_S_Sprint_WWE_2.08.651.3_Radio_0.97.10.0808_NV_SPCS_1.31_003_release_219445_signed

to the sdcard and renamed it to PG86IMG.zip

or do i need to copy the System image file out of this RUU zip and copy that to the sd card and rename that to PG86IMG.zip
[HTC EVO 3D] Will32:
Yes, I think that's what I did
[HTC EVO 3D] scoot0073:
i notice it says **RELOCKED**

***Security Warning ***

at the top would this cause it not to detect tha PG86IMG.zip ??

---------- Post added at 07:01 PM ---------- Previous post was at 06:57 PM ----------

ok i did that and still will not detect the PG86IMG.zip

this is crazy (head bangin )
[HTC EVO 3D] hahahablah345:
So i finished everything. But my phone keeps rebooting and it always gets stuck on the screen at the beginning, where the background is all colorful. From there, it just sits for a couple of seconds, then it reboots. Can anyone please help!
[HTC EVO 3D] mnomaanw:
Have you used the 1.13 RUU.exe at last after downgrading hboot to 1.40?
[HTC EVO 3D] Will32:
ive read that the security warning doesnt matter, i had it, robooted to hboot and it was gone.

come to think of it, i got the pg86img from the ruu.exe like it was explained in the op, i ran the ruu.exe and after it loaded i went to doc/user/myname/application data/temp and did a search in that folder for rom.zip, it found it and i copied it to my desktop then exited the ruu.exe

you must turn on hidded system files for it to find it

by the way, have you tried pulling the battery and the booting to hboot so itll recognize?
[HTC EVO 3D] USSENTERNCC1701E:
I ran into a similar problem on HBOOT 1.50 once. I'd been running MIUI before hand. To get the PG86IMG.zip working I had to restore a stock Sense /boot partition.

Edit: Nevermind, that's what I get for responding before reading the rest of the thread.
[HTC EVO 3D] vanessaem:
Awesomeness...I don't have hboot 1.5 but this is great news. Congrats guys and girls. :)
[HTC EVO 3D] dkdude36:
just fyi guys, this method is extremely hard trying to do it from ruu (from pc) but it probably will work. i didnt get it to but it should be possible.
[HTC EVO 3D] USSENTERNCC1701E:
I ran tacoroot.bat dozens of times before I posted it, and scores afterward. What do you mean it's messed up?
[HTC EVO 3D] dkdude36:
it doesnt give enough time to load recovery before expecting you to have rebooted and it tries to wipe recovery cache and stuff. i opened it up and put "pause" after each time it wants you to reboot and it works fine now. i know not everybody experianced this, but it looks like a few people did.
[HTC EVO 3D] USSENTERNCC1701E:
It wipes the recovery log to prevent errors when it symlinks to local.prop to the recovery log. The adb wait-for-device command takes the place of pause. Did you already have a custom recovery?
[HTC EVO 3D] dkdude36:
no i didnt. all i know is that it didnt work for me and when i typed in the commands individually it worked perfectly, do what you want with it. i know it's worked for many people perfectly, it's a great piece of code. thanks for it

edit: wow its hard to brick. haus said a radio brick -might- work. any ideas on that? could save some people some time. how would you even recover from that?
[HTC EVO 3D] Will32:
Success! Can't imagine what unknownforce was thinking during step 2 as he was blazing the trail for us. Thanks unknown! Donation coming your way in a day or two.

Revolutionary ran fine for me and installed cwm. Now back on the nandroid I made before starting this.
[HTC EVO 3D] dkdude36:
finally got a brick, but nothing at all happens when i plug it in. no dim battery light. shakin in mah boots
[HTC EVO 3D] mnomaanw:
Same happened to me, but I guess it is very DIM .Plug again and Take a look at it again in dark room.

Dont worry mine wasnt visible either but had a Success.
[HTC EVO 3D] USSENTERNCC1701E:
That really depends on how this emmc_recovery mode loads. If it is a hardcoded program that is integrated into the emmc chipset, then it would just be a matter of rewritting mmcblk0p13 then 0p18 using the linux tool the method uses now. However, it the emmc_recovery mode relies on radio rejecting HBOOT, then it may not even load that mode when plugged into the computer.

At this point, the only way I see to find out for sure is someone brave enough to try, or someone that has accidentally given themselves a radio brick finding this.

---------- Post added at 02:22 PM ---------- Previous post was at 02:21 PM ----------

Oi, I'd say just plug it into the linux box and cross your fingers, hopefully the light is just too dim.
[HTC EVO 3D] dkdude36:
not getting recognition from comp.... will worry later, eat now. bi and thanks
[HTC EVO 3D] Diarrhea Slushie:
will my version 1.13 change if i flash roms
[HTC EVO 3D] mnomaanw:
You sure , you are holding volume down button ?

Also dont forget to open 3-4 terminals and doing sudo -s first in all of them, then the sda13/sdb13/sdc13 thingy. All windows should be waiting for device.

---------- Post added at 02:02 AM ---------- Previous post was at 02:00 AM ----------

Depends which ROM you flash.

If you are S-OFF then no problem in changing ROM. Just do thenecessary radio/firmware updates 1st.

Dont know for sure , if you can go back from 2.17 or 2.08 to 1.13
[HTC EVO 3D] Will32:
I think its only visible when plugged in through USB, I could see it.
[HTC EVO 3D] sniperkill:
Everything up to step 2 went as outlined in the OP, now I'm at step 2, I first have the rom.zip named PG86IMG on my sdacrd, I then boot into bootloader, let it detect the rom.zip, plug my phone into AC charger, pull out the battery, my power stays on. Next I hit the volume up button and wait 3 to 5 seconds and unplug the AC charger and plug it back in real quick. But everytime I unplug the cord, right when I unplug it, my screen goes black and everything turns off. I've tried this 5 times ending with the same result. Am I doing something wrong here? At this time, I'm booted into windows 7 (but I don't think it matters). Am I not being quick enough?
[HTC EVO 3D] Will32:
took me 15 tries, in the upper right youll see 2 bars go up to show its unzipping/loading, then when you hit update , you have to pull power when you see the bar again. right when you see the bar that goes quickly.thats when i finally bricked.

Also... Your screen is supposed to be black, its a hard brick. It won't do anything till u plug it into linux and it finds it and writes the hboot. Then u power back up to hboot and viola.
[HTC EVO 3D] mnomaanw:
I cant understand your problem correctly but your phone will shut off as soon as you unplug it from power source as it doesnot have power to work .

Wait for a sec more till you see the bar at top right while updating (not while checking) then unplug it.
[HTC EVO 3D] sniperkill:
Okay, I see I'm not alone here, lol.. I'll keep trying. Also, could someone pm me the commands they typed in their linux terminal session? Please? If not, It's cool.

---------- Post added at 05:32 PM ---------- Previous post was at 05:24 PM ----------

You guys are awesome :cool: Also, you got my problem right. I'm having a hard time with the timing of my unplugging the AC power cord. I don't know whether im waiting too long, or not long enough.. But after your guy's responses, imma try again. Thanks.
[HTC EVO 3D] Will32:
All the commands u need are in step 3 of the op, I typed sudo-s and the Chmod command and the emmc_recover command in each of five windows and had them waiting for device before I even bricked. I'd hate to brick then not get it to wait for device.
[HTC EVO 3D] ccaudio1:
start counting when it says updating on boatloader. my 2 phones where right at the 5 second mark to get both to brick.
[HTC EVO 3D] Bairdog35:
Ahhh I can't get it to brick... ive tried 34x, yes I counted, I am going to go suicidal here in a minute if It don't brick!! Someone hellppp
[HTC EVO 3D] thznutz87:
cant brick

i cant get my phone to load the pg86img.zip, it reads it then hit parsing then just stops and sits at bootloader.

cant ruu either to get to stock, throws a 155 unknown error. any help would be awesome. really want to brick my phone lol

1.5 hboot htcdev unlock
[HTC EVO 3D] mnomaanw:
Pull the charger as soon as you see the progress bar at the upper right corner WHILE UPDATING BOOTLOADER.
[HTC EVO 3D] Will32:
Persistence pays off. A good ways back in this thread someone claimed they tried 100 times, took me 15 and I was goin effin crazy, felt so good to finally get a brick.
[HTC EVO 3D] mnomaanw:
You should relock with "fastboot oem lock" before using RUU or PG86IMG.zip . Else it wont work.
[HTC EVO 3D] Bairdog35:
Yes, I have been doing that exact thing all day......... literally... and wont freaking worrrk! So frustrated..
[HTC EVO 3D] thznutz87:
THANK YOU!! thought i wasnt supposed to with custom recovery and custom rom. anyone yes or no?
[HTC EVO 3D] Will32:
Doesn't matter, just fastboot OEM lock and you'll probably get a security warning, but that doesn't matter either
[HTC EVO 3D] mnomaanw:
Yes you should relock, clearly stated in OP.

And why you are you asking again , just do it. It is of no use as you are downgrading to hboot 1.40 which is to be S-OFFed later and the UNLOCK sign will be replace by Revolutionary.
[HTC EVO 3D] sniperkill:
Also, your phone wont boot after running the command "fastboot oem lock", don't worry, just run the ruu in fastboot mode.
[HTC EVO 3D] Will32:
Got a question, what would happen to my revolutionary s-off if I ran the 2.17 ruu.
[HTC EVO 3D] JJsax:
Might be a dumb question... please don't chastise me. I keep getting communication with device interrupted while running revolutionary... I am however -REVOLUTIONARY- S-OFF now... does that mean I'm all set? I never got to the point where it said failed or success or even to the point of adding in recovery...

NEVERMIND!!! I'm all set... Just tried to run it again, and I can't because I'm already s-off and NOW it's asking if I want to install recovery... SWEET!!! :)
[HTC EVO 3D] Will32:
Does it say revolutionary in the banner at the top. I think a few ppl had to run it more than once. Mine finished with no errors, three reboots and then it asked to download cwm and I said yes
[HTC EVO 3D] Bairdog35:
Bricking it is just ridiculous... I am now at try #50... I am going insane.. everything I do failss ahh
[HTC EVO 3D] sniperkill:
Nothing really, you would get updated to h-boot 1.50, but you would still have your s-off
[HTC EVO 3D] USSENTERNCC1701E:
This question has already been answered, in this thread even.
[HTC EVO 3D] sniperkill:
Hey bud, when you bricked your phone, what ruu were you using? 2.08 or 2.17?
[HTC EVO 3D] Will32:
2.08

10cha
[HTC EVO 3D] sniperkill:
Hmmm, I'm on my 30th try, lmao!! I think I done blew a gasket!! Still trying to brick.
[HTC EVO 3D] Will32:
Thanks, and thanks again for helping make this happen. You were a big part of it.
[HTC EVO 3D] dkdude36:
I GOT IT wow you guys are awesome thanks for your help. haus, zedo, unknownforce, that dude with the long username who was helping me a few pages back, you guys rock. will donate if i can get some money on my paypal. on like my 50th try i finally got it (man you need perfect timing. its almost exactly 5 seconds actually). still not sure why i couldnt ruu from sdcard before, but it finally worked. oh and there definitely was no light, or it was just insanely overdim, but it still worked. thank you all

edit: can't ruu now. damn unsigned 1.13 zip. i'll use an exe.
[HTC EVO 3D] scoot0073:
aahaaahhhh ... finally got it to detect the PG86IMG.zip..

i just did a battery pull wait 10 mins n put it back in and and detected it first try...

no believe it or not tha bricking step which was next i just knew it was going to give me a hard time like the others i been reading but BAMMM i got it first time never would

have thought i would get that lucky..lol.. now time to boot into Ubuntu
[HTC EVO 3D] il Duce:
Good work :) now if I end up getting a replacement (dust in screen) I can hassle you on gtalk.
[HTC EVO 3D] sniperkill:
Okay quick question for you or anyone else that knows, how do you know if it's bricked if there's no dim light?
[HTC EVO 3D] Will32:
If u can't boot into hboot

OMFG! I FINALLY GOT IT BRICKED!!! HOLY SHIZ BUCKETS! I have never done one thing for so long in my life... man.. It feels so good to have a bricked phone <3
[HTC EVO 3D] scoot0073:
ok i got 3 terminal windows open and i got # in all windows ,

4.) Run the command chmod 0755 /path/to/emmc_recover (changing "/path/to" to wherever it resides)

so i put the 2 files n the home folder like OP said then i put this cmd

chmod 0755 /home/emmc_recover ..then press enter.... says No such file or directoty

any help from some ubuntu users..lol
[HTC EVO 3D] Will32:

i think it took but is it suppose to out put something ? it just went back to #
[HTC EVO 3D] k6squid:
Now What?

This may sound stupid, but seriously... I got through the entire process and downgraded... but then I couldnt run revolution. I just let the PG86img zip run again and now Im back to 1.5 hboot and stock. Im going to try again, as I ran out of time and had to have a working phone. Ill look through the root s-off threads again and see if I can figure it out.
[HTC EVO 3D] Will32:
I couldn't run revolutionary because of HTC sync, uninstalled it and it ran fine. Oh and I was confused about when to run revolutionary, I found out that You have to be booted into android.
[HTC EVO 3D] k6squid:
Ok, so after it comes back on with 1.4 S - ON, it wouldnt boot into android... just into fastboot. So do I need to install a PG86img file that stays on hboot 1.4? Then run revolutionary from android?
[HTC EVO 3D] jasKaos:
That's what I did! So that seems like a good method to go!
[HTC EVO 3D] Bairdog35:
Yes! I am now officially at HBOOT 1.4 S-OFF! Thank you guys so much! I love you all <3 Hope you all get drunk with all the beer!! :)
[HTC EVO 3D] sniperkill:
Well fellas I finally got it!! Wow was that nerve wrecking though! Perhaps it was all that adderall I took, lmao. But yes, I did get it.

When you type sudo -s then give your user password, then type in "chmod 755 emmc_recover" and see if that works. That's what worked on mine.

On a different note, it says I have hboot 1.4, but mine doesn't say "RELOCKED" anymore!! It says nothing!!
[HTC EVO 3D] Will32:
Time to run the 1.13 ruu and boot up then revolutionary
[HTC EVO 3D] sniperkill:
OMG this is soooo cool! I got it done, flashed hboot 1.40 and my hboot doesn't say "RELOCKED" anymore! Now itsays "REVOLUTIONARY"! AND, I only ran revolutionary ONCE, and cwm flashed succesfully the first time!! Thanks to everyone who helped this happen, and everyone that helped me!!
[HTC EVO 3D] dkdude36:
yay revolutionary!!!!

anybody have link to freeza's all-in-one 2.17 zip handy or should i think for myself and search?

Hey, don't worry about all the windows popping up, none of that happened with me either. The ONLY important thing is the OUTPUT, if it read:

Then your fine. Just unplug your phone from the computer, pull your sdcard, leave your battery out for a few minutes, and then put the battery back in, and hold volume down + power, if nothing happens, take your battery back out for another few minutes, and try again. It took me like 3 or 4 times before it would boot into my bootloader. But it did eventually boot into bootloader.

did it work?
[HTC EVO 3D] sniperkill:
I can't say for sure, but thats EXACTLY what mine did, then I left the battery out for a while, then started up the 1.13 ruu, gave it about 20 minutes, then re-installed my battery and held power + volume down, nothing happened, I then tried again, and again and it finally booted into the bootloader. So my guess is, is that it did work.

Dont worry about your computer not having the pop-up's, or doing the terminal thing. Just worry about the OUTPUT of the "waiting on device". I didnt install my sdcard until I had everything up and running. But first I put my sdcard in a usb reader and deleted the PG86IMG.zip
[HTC EVO 3D] Mr nerd:
just found out you can RUU back to 2.17 to fix the reboot problems and it will stay S-off
[HTC EVO 3D] sniperkill:
I dont think people have reboot problems if they flash "Freeza's AIO firmware.zip, along with flashing a rom thats been updated to the latest OTA. MOST of the time, lately, people have only complained about having reboots because they have the updated firmware but are still on 2.08.651.3 hardware. Or vice-versa.

What your telling us is old news homie.
