Root I need to get back to stock.

Last night, I went through a horrible amount of boot looping for at least an hour. At times, it wouldn't even get past the white HTC splash screen. It seemed like there was nothing I could do to stop it. Even trying to use my backups was sending me in to a loop, which it had never done before. Eventually, I did something, can't remember what or how or why it worked, but I managed to get Harmonia ROM on the phone for now.

I HAVE TRIED numerous things to get this thing back to stock.. I've followed some instructions on here, and tried downloading ROMs. But somethings just going on with it, it seems. All my attempts failed. Bootloader kept trying to update and for a while, I couldn't even get past bootloader to get to the menu to put me in recovery.

Have you tried checking the HTC website for stock ROM downloads for the HTC Evo V and the HTC Evo 3d are the Same. If I were you I would look into that.

First Make sure there are no pg86img.zip files on the root of your SD card
Then download this https://www.dropbox.com/s/d4baafpgchgg4ef/ruu-PG86IMG.zip
Rename it to pg86img.zip and put it on the root of your SD card

Reboot to bootloader and accept update
It may reboot itself to boot loader, accept update again

Reboot

You should be stock everything

You will still be s off but I would leave it

Whoever buys your phone will either never know its s off or they will be extremely happy its s off
