It may have been a bad download. I don't know who put my ROM in RomManager in the first place, I didn't...
wondering if maybe it is CWM.. how would I go about flashing a different recovery?

Easiest way is to flash the PG86IMG.zip thru the bootloader.

Right, you should ask koush to remove it. It's not even the updated version of your rom.

Try downloading the PG86IMG.zip file for gsm, place it on the root of your sdcard and boot into hboot. Let me know if that works.
no go. i tried it, but still stuck at bootloop. is there specific PG86IMG.zip i need to download?

Yeah, the one for the GSM phone. In the GSM fourm, it's most likely one of the first few posts because its been stickied. Get the one that has your version of hboot on it.
my phone has s off revolutionary hboot. and i just went through all of those images on gsm forum....is there any other way to unbrick this?

Try doing S-On 'fastboot oem writesecureflag 3' and/or 'fastboot oem lock' in a terminal while in bootloader.
Then flash an RUU. It should work and boot up. If it successfully flashes all partitions and doesn't work, chances are it's the device.
i want to say thank you for all suggestions to bring my evo back to life, but unfortunately, it my 3vo refuses to cooperate. =( i am sending it to htc tomorrow. at least its s-on again for me to get it fixed for free.
Hello,
I have an unlocked EVO 3D with HBOOT 1.5 S-on.
I flashed the phone and replaced InfectedRom with Warm Two Point Three. After installing new rom and reseting, phone is now stuck on HTC startup screen.

Did you wipe all the way? Also what is your software 2.17 or 2.08 ? Did you fastboot boot recovery.img when you flashed?

You need to flash boot.img/kernel using fastboot or Flash image GUI or else you will face issues if the ROM uses kernel other than your current one.
This is the limitation of HTC unlock method (S-ON)

I flashed the boot.img using fastboot as you suggested. Now the phone is stuck in an endless loop between powering off and the HTC startup logo.
It appears that I am getting closer to fixing the problem but I am still stuck. Can you help further please?

Thanks for your reply.
I did wipe all the way. How do I tell whether I have 2.08 or 2.17. if the phone not able to start up?
I flashed boot.img using fastboot. I just realized that the bootloader when doing and Hboot tries to load the image indicates no image or wrong image.
I am either missing a step or did something wrong.
Please help!
did you make a backup of Infected before you flashed?
When you say you installed Warm did you install and actually get it fully booted and set up your home screens and all that and it only stuck on the first reboot after? or was it right after you flashed warm?
Really if you made a backup of infected or what you were running before you should be able to restore that via recovery then boot up normal. Then use FlashImageGUI to flash the kernel needed for Warm, then reboot into recovery mode and flash the other portion of the Rom from the custom recovery.
Unfortunately, I did not back up Infected or other previous roms. I didn't know that I should, I only backed up my apps using Titanium. I now know better.
Still stuck in loop mode. I have been searching the forums for some possible solutions but so far nothing has worked.
I am up the creek without a paddle...
kongfooey said:
I used Titanium Backup to back up apps etc. is that the same as backing up the rom (Infected)?
If I had the backup how do I recover using recovery? I have been reading other posts in the forum and have tried some of the suggestions. I wiped the data and cache.

na TiBackup isn't the same as backing up the Rom itself.
Full backups are done from within the custom recovery...
the boot.img you pushed via fastboot earlier. where did you get it from?
Silly me... I realized that Titanium backup was not the correct backup after I posted.
I took the image from the Warm zip file. I initially thought the problem was fixed until I realized that the phone is in an endless loop...
Still looping

well to be honest I would just go back and start form scratch at this point since pushing the kernel via fastboot somehow didn't take for you nor did clearing cache's after the fact.
after pushing the kernel via fastboot, have you tried doing that again, and then going into recovery and flashing the rom again? If that doesn't work you might as well just go back to stock and push stock kernel flash stock rooted OTA, boot up, and use FlashImageGUI to push the Warm kernel then go back to flashing the Warm rom in recovery...
really before pushing the stock kernel if you wanna test to see if your initial push of Warm kernel even took fully just fully wipe data and try flashing infected again in recovery. If it boots fine then you know your fastboot push didn't take before to begin with...
Edit:
before i even really get more into this. does Warm even use another kernel beside the stock one? If they dont then all of this could of resulted from a bad download of the rom itself being flashed...
Sgt. Slaughter, I salute you...
I played around with your suggestions. Got it working... I flashed a different boot.img and it solved the problem. I may have gotten a bad Warm rom...
Thanks again!!!
Note: if you took/installed the latest update (2.17.651.5) you won't be able to use roms based off earlier firmware/kernels (ie 2.08.651.2 or 651.3) b/c of kernel differences (I think I've read that somewhere).
I believe Warmtwopointthree and Infected are not using the latest base/kernel.
Edit: saw you posted right before me. So what kernel/boot.img did you use?

Nice good to hear. Fact you had your phone even semi-booting makes solving anything wrong with it usually trial and error and ends up not being so bad to fix...
I used boot.img from OTXE Titan HD ODEXed New Beats!
I need to educate myself a bit more about the differences between kernel and .imgs etc...
Thanks for your response. I greatly appreciate!!
I'm having a very similar issue, I rooted my Evo using Revolutionary and installed CW Recovery and everything was fine so I tried installing ZR3D and part way through the install, my phone turned off and now it wont get past the HTC boot screen. I went into CW Recovery but nothing is working, no matter what option I choose [even Turn off phone or reboot] it gives me the CW logo but nothing happens.
I have HBOOT 1.49.1107 with S-Off
Try reflashing your recovery threw hboot.

Find your ruu and run it, you can't "easily" flash kernels or jb roms with s-on, do the wire trick, get s-off, you'll never look back.

That screenie you provided was your phone attempting to pick a an ruu. In order to flash them off your phone, it must be a signed ruu in correspondence to s-on and relocked bootloader. Generally, ruu's are flashed through your PC via fastboot mode and this is primarily an device with s-on and relocked bootloader. Not unless if your s-off. Otherwise you do not have to flash through PC. Anyways, make sure that you have the correct drivers. Adb and fastboot are setup correctly. Uninstall HTC sync if you have it.
Sorry if the answers im looking for are somewhere else but i cant find them. Im not new to the rooting game but it has been awhile, last phone rooted was the original evo and ive fallen behind on the new software and such. anyways ive rooted successfully and am running hboot 1.19 with s-on. for some reason i get the same error message when flasing a rom saying that sdcard cannot be found. do i need to be running s-off with 1.19 to flash roms? Thanks!

Hopefully that all that is needed... but S-OFF is the way to go if you can do it. It will save you so many headaches in the future. HTC is making it harder on s-on people to do anything to their phone, this started with the 3.15 JB update and will probably get worse. S-OFF my friend S-OFF

Hold the phone. Flashing TOO new of a recovery (like TWRP 2.4.1) can also cause problems. There's something that the dev has to place in the ROM in order to be compatible with 2.4.1. May I suggest you try 2.3.1? It seems to be the "sweet spot" and works with most ROMs out there today.

You should never accept OTAs on a rooted/custom ROM running phone. Most likely you will have to boot into recovery and wipe and flash a new ROM. Which means you'll lose any data not on your SD Card. Sorry.

im sorry you may not want to hear this but there isn't a ruu for your hboot from what i can read with s-on. you might have to do the s-off wiretrick and then run a ruu(you can use any if s-off). run the stock rom long enough to turn it off to flash a recovery -> install a rom. I happen to be using virgin mobile htc evo 3d so I was on hboot 1.57 so there is ruu that contains the stock vm rom.
