Have u tried flashing the full 2.89 stock Ruu to get everything cleaned out and properly installed and then recheck? Sometimes all the bits & pieces separately flashed to not go together as intended.

I haven't been flashing or anything few several months and haven't been keeping up with things. My wife's 3D is rooted and s off with revelutionary and on h boot 1.40 she wants the ota so my question is, can I just follow the 3 steps since she is

Soff and still have s off and root? Just don't want to lose all the work I had to do to downgrade this bad boy when it was mine.
[HTC EVO 3D] Evil Bob:
You'll keep root, hboot will change to 1.58, which you can downgrade as needed since you're S-Off.
[HTC EVO 3D] johnnyphive:
I'm wondering the same. i'm on a newer unit that came with hboot 1.5 s-on. did the brick / downgrade and was running CleanROM ICS.

I want to get back to as stock as possible, so did the following

flashed "RUU_Shooter_S_Sprint_WWE_1.13.651.7_Radio_0.97.10 .0530_NV_NV_SPCS_1.16_release_198109_signed"

via fastboot and now i'm back to the following:

Appears locked (Bootloader no longer says "revolutionary")

S-Off

HBOOT 1.40

Radio 0.97.10.0530

Android 2.3.3

Sense 3.0

Software Number 1.13.651.7

Kernal 2.6.35.10-gcb1cf83

PRI 1.42_003

PRL 21086

As far as i know / can tell, this is all stock sprint stuff, but retain s-off, have the ability to unlock and root?

What do i need to do from this point to get the the latest stock sprint stuff

Since the phone was originally hboot 1.5 s-on, what should i do?
[HTC EVO 3D] mpgrimm2:
Since both of you are S-Off, you will keep root as Evil Bob mentioned with the ability to flash anything you need to.

All 3 steps in Virus's 2.89 OTA Update (the OP) will work for both of you if you still have a custom Recovery (J5's is probably gone b/c of the 1.13 RUU) installed and give you a 2.89 Stock Rooted ICS Rom.

Since you are S-Off, I'd recommend flashing the full 2.89 stock Ruu to get everything cleaned out and properly installed. Sometimes all the bits & pieces separately flashed do not go together as intended and problems arise with mods/roms later.

Then all you have to do is:

flash a recovery like 4Ext & SuperUSer (For stock Rooted ICS)

or

Flash a Recovery, format/superwipe, install a rooted 2.89 Based Rom like MeanRom ICS 2.6 (what I am on) or Virus's Rooted ICS Stock Rom from step 3.

There are some things you need to know about the differences in Hboots if you want to run GB/CM9/AOSP Roms and you may have issues flashing a recovery with "fastboot command prompts" and "remote: not allowed" error:

There are differences b/w "Radio S-Off" and "Hboot S-Off". If you didn't install a custom hboot (Jbear, Revolutionary, etc) then the fastboot commands are limited.

thanks for the reply, but i'm a little confused.

should i just revo / flash custom recovery / root my current 1.13 ruu, then follow the OP?

you mention flashing the full stock 2.89 ruu to "clean things up", but wouldn't that have been done when i flashed the full stock 1.13?

just for ref., i'm probably gonna stay stock, other than rooting for WiFi teather purposes
[HTC EVO 3D] mpgrimm2:
J5,

Flash the full 2.89 Ruu.exe (reboot, let it settle, make sure all is well)

Flash custom recovery (ie 4ext from fastboot or PG86IMG.zip)

Flash latest Superuser zip (from recovery)

Reboot

Done (rooted stock ICS)

Or

Flash the full 2.89 Ruu.exe (reboot, let it settle, make sure all is well)

Flash custom recovery (ie 4ext from fastboot or PG86IMG.zip)

Format/Superwipe (step 2 from op)

Flash rooted stock Rom (step 3 from op)

Reboot

Done (rooted stock ICS)

Again, thanks for the reply, and I apologize for all the questions, but I don't want to screw anything up.

Won't flashing the full 2.89 ruu.exe upgrade me to hboot 1.58 and give me s-on?
[HTC EVO 3D] ramjet73:
Yes and no. :)

Flashing the RUU will upgrade your hboot to 1.58 but you will still be S-OFF and can downgrade to any hboot you want if necesssary.

ramjet73
[HTC EVO 3D] johnnyphive:
once again, sorry for so many questions

what about unlocking once i've installed the RUU and am on 1.58? I'm on info overload here, been out of the game for WAY too long, and it's hard to follow some of these threads.

as of now, all of done is revo unlocked my phone in preperation for the "upgrade". should i have done that? should i just rerun the 1.13 ruu, then run the latest RUU? Either way, i'll be locked, but should still remain S-Off. But because of the lock, i won't be able to install a custom recovery, correct? If so, how do i unlock after flashing the latest RUU and am on HBoot 1.58?

Again, please forgive the "noob" coming out, it has been a while.
[HTC EVO 3D] greeg32:
If you are soff, locked vs unlocked doesn't matter
[HTC EVO 3D] johnnyphive:
And we are talking about the ruu from HTC, right?

Why does not "s-on"? I thought previous updates did turn it in....or were those only otas that did that?
[HTC EVO 3D] greeg32:
Yep did it today. Once soff there's only one way to get it back. You'd have to try to do it.
[HTC EVO 3D] johnnyphive:
Ok, now you have me even more confused...lol

what did you "do today" and what would i have to "try to do"....
[HTC EVO 3D] greeg32:
Today I ran the ruu then downgraded my hboot simply by flashing it in bootloader.

To get s on you would have to run a specific command in adb.
[HTC EVO 3D] johnnyphive:
gotcha....well, i pulled the trigger and am flashing latest ruu now.....

so the ruu went through. let the phone boot up, reboot a couple of times

looking at the boot loader, this is what i have

whats happening?
[HTC EVO 3D] mpgrimm2:
J5, I specifically mentioned "remote not allowed" in my post # 586 above. Did you read the hboot differences thread I linked? Hmmm?

Simply put, you need to flash the Jbear 1.58.5858 bootloader (download & directions are in the thread). No need for Revolutionary or wire trick again.Then the fastboot command will work.

You can also flash the recovery using a PG86IMG.zip (with recovery.IMG in it) as linked in the post 4. recovery/root/su post I linked and keep the stock hboot 1.58. Ramjet73's 4ext Recovery PG86IMG.zip

Unfortunately, it gets confusing because there are several ways to get the same outcome.

There are a lot of "it depends" in answering your question (what ROM(s) are you gonna run, have you flashed the 2.89 firmware, etc.), so I suggest that you read mpgrimm2's guide on hboot differences and then ask whatever questions you might have after that.

A bunch of other mumbo jumbo and then

Do you want to start update?

<VOL UP> Yes

<VOL DOWN> No

Pushing VOL UP of course does the update again, then goes into bootloop

Pushing VOL DOWN cancels the update and prompts to push POWER to reboot which goes back into bootloop.

I don't know how to fix this because I can't get into recovery, I can't access the SD card in order to remove the PG86IMG.zip from the SD card.

Any and all help is appreciated, I have a 6 day old newborn and really can't do without my phone. :-/
[HTC EVO 3D] ohbuckeyeman:
You can get into recovery by removing the sd card. Don't know if you want to try, but you may be able to:

1) remove battery and sd card

2) plug phone in without battery and bit into recovery

3) insert sd card where your backup is saved to (hopefully)

4) replace battery and cover

5) hopefully restore backup and reboot into your phone
[HTC EVO 3D] mpgrimm2:
Fyi, hboot 1.58 is not.compatible.with certain Rom/kernel combos (your backup/installed rom?). See the hboot differences thread in my signature for.specifics.(and other hboots).

As stated, Once the update zip is off the sdcard you should be able to get to the recovery.

Try it this way:

1. With SD card removed and battery installed, use VolumeDown+Power to get into the bootloader.

2. Remove cover, and plug in charging cable connected to PC USB or A/C adapter.

3. Remove battery and insert SD card.

4. Install battery, remove charging cable, and replace cover.

5. From the bootloader, choose boot recovery.

6. When 4EXT starts, either mount the SD card as USB storage and delete the PG86IMG.zip from a PC, or flash/restore a ROM that you know is bootable with the current bootloader. You could also use Aroma File Manager to delete the PG86IMG.zip file from 4EXT if you have that available on your SD card.

7. If you flashed or restored a ROM, boot it and delete the PG86IMG.zip file.

Thank you very much for your help. I'm pretty sure I almost have it fixed. I just seem to be having one of those days that anything and everything that could go wrong is going to. I am staying at my in-laws and don't have my stock charger, the after market one I do have wouldn't power the phone on its own. I recently misplaced my microSD adapter, so I went to RadioShack and bought a new one. I got the file deleted... and now I can't get the micro out of the adapter. How ridiculous is that? Anyway, as soon as I can figure out how to get the card out without damaging either of them I will be booting into recovery and flashing the rom I wanted that's compatible with the new hboot. Wish me luck.

That's why you use TWRP... You will NOT have those problems, it's touch screen (so you won't wear your buttons out), and if you use CWM Touch Recovery... You have to pay, and try and mount your sdcard in recovery... I'll bet a year and a half later, that's STILL broken... Try to power it off all the way and charge it, I'll bet you STILL can't do that... TWRP gets updated frequently, and ALL OF THE BROKEN FEATURES in CWM Recovery, work perfect in TWRP. Plus you get other features that aren't available in CWM. You're seriously missing out dude. Give those volume rockers a rest, and use TWRP.

Download GooManager from the Google Play store... Open it... Grant it root permission... Then press menu, install open script recovery, and press yes... Now you have a fully working, stable, and awesome recovery!

4ext Recovery is CWM compatible, uses touch screen, has its own android app, works simply for s-on Htc Unlocked users and has non of the latest CWM's issues. Twrp is nice in that it is consistent on several devices like CWM, but I gave up on it around the time "Dumlock" came out because it was having issues with formatting/wiping fully and restoring backups. CWM touch for the 3d never got its USB mount issues fixed; so I ended up with the best of both in 4ext Recovery. Alas its not available on many devices but its rock solid (like CWM 4.0.1.4).

4EXT or TWRP?

These are both good recoveries, and here's a thread in Q&A Forum with more opinions from Evo 3D users.

A couple of things I would like to add is that TWRP 2.2.0.0 apparently had some pretty significant problems, and I don't know if if they have all been resolved in later releases or not. The latest version, 2.3.0.0, changed API's and now requires a current updater binary in the installation scripts, so that could cause problems when installing older ROM's, kernels and mods:

TWRP2 (the generic name for their touch recovery) does have some cool features like a built-in file manager, keyboard and OTG host support for accessing installation files on external media. It is also currently supported on more devices that 4EXT.

Max (madmaxx82), the developer for 4EXT is working hard on the next generation 4EXT that will support more devices with more features than the current version, but we don't know what those are yet. 4EXT backups are compatible with the CWM backups, which TWRP backups are not, but the backups are compressed in TWRP which means they take up less space on the SD card.

Both recoveries have free versions, but most 4EXT users upgrade to the Recovery Control which has many more features than the free Recovery Updater for only a few dollars.

My personal preference on the Evo 3D is 4EXT, but if you are planning to upgrade to another device soon it may not be available for that device and you may have to use TWRP, which might affect your decision on what to use for the Evo 3D.

These recoveries both have threads in the Evo 3D development forum and I would suggest browsing through a at least a few pages of each to see what the people that use each recovery like and don't like about it, then make your own decision.

Hi all,

I have been HBoot 1.4 s-off for a while, and if I understand the previous discussion correctly and I should be able to flash newer version bootloader such as 1.58 and keep the s-off right?

http://xdaforums.com/showpost.php?p=30014044&postcount=7

Thanks a lot!
[HTC EVO 3D] ramjet73:
Yes. Flashing a different bootloader will not change your radio S-OFF status, which I'm sure is what you are concerned about.

There is also a locked/unlocked status for the bootloader sometimes referred to as "bootloader S-OFF". That controls which fasboot commands you are allowed to run from a PC. If you flash one of the custom bootloaders (ENG, JBear, Revolutionary) you will be able to run those commands without having to htcdev unlock the bootloader.

Because you are S-On the only way to update the firmware/radios/etc is to Relock the bootloader and flash the full RUU. Then Unlock and reroot again.

It is of course recommended to get S-Off.
