Hello everyone. The other day i used revolutionary to Perma-root my evo 3d. Everything was fine, till my text messages were not sending. So i took out the battery and popped it back in, and all i got was the HTC logo, then a dimmed black screen. Yes i can get into hboot, but i have clockworkmod recovery. I seem to be having a difficult time flashing the official sprint evo 3d rom. Any help is appreciated.
Download the pg86100.zip to revert back to stock in the dev section then go into hboot and let it update and you will start back at the stock ROM

try hboot flashing twrp recovery. then if you can boot up update your prl and profile, also make a phone call to see if you got that error 16 thing. Also, did you by chance try to replace your bootanim? If you did, and something like wrong permissions were set, it would still be booting with a black screen, maybe try leaving it alone while it's booting for a bit?
I did the twrp recovery, but i still get the dim black screen. after the dim black screen it goes black for a few seconds, then goes to the HTC logo again. I didnt try to change anything either...

Above is your best solution. From there you can decide to either root again or wait a bit longer. But that should fix the issue and keep you from a boot loop of just the HTC screen.
Well thats where you are wrong. I am still in the boot loop after doing the stock HTC EVO 3d flash.
So the bootloader scanned and flashed the PG86IMG file and you are still showing just the HTC screen?
Did you follow the directions here http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1194053
Hi where exactly do the adb and fastboot files go when you start to run commands?
Well no i still get the boot loop. guess i have a bricked phone...

A brick is when the phone is completely unresponsive and won't boot or give you a charging led. If you can get to hboot you're not bricked. I would do a factory wipe from hboot menu (choose clear storage), and then either run an RUU with your phone in fastboot usb mode, or use a PG86IMG.zip
of an RUU to flash back to stock. That should hopefully fix the loops.

From past experiences like this, wipe, flash the bare stock rooted ROM in the development section. Do this in recovery mode. Before wiping you could try just flashing the bare Rom over. That usually worked for me.

Sweet, glad you got it booting. Now that you've ran the RUU, you'll probably need to run Revolutionary again and then flash TWRP recovery. You should be good to go then. I think your hboot will still be S-off after the RUU, but from reports of other people it acts like it's still S-on and won't let you flash anything, so running Revolutionary again is necessary.
Well i cant use revolutionary...
My device is not supported?
And now i cant make calls or text messages, i get error 16.
any help?

Call Sprint. . they can fix it. . .it's actually a common problem after the root. Try to make a call. . .you will get the error message. . .you should hang on the line for a few minutes and it will direct you to sprint. They will call you on another line. . that's not your phone, and have you power the phone off. . .they will wait a few minutes then tell you to turn it on and make a test call. . .they may have you go thru a few things, but I didn't. . .and it will work.

Help!
I feel like such a freakin noob. My EVO3D is not quite bricked but I think i broke my recovery img AND my ROM. All I can do is turn on Hboot. Tried the stock Sprint RUU to go back to stock and i keep getting an error message everytime it tries to update the ROM image. Have no idea what to do now without being able to go into recovery. Suggestions?
My phone is doing the exact same thing, cept running the ruu.exe didn't fix it. Anyone else have some more ideas?

Does anyone know where the splash screen file or image is located? I'm trying to experiment to see if I can change it cuz the blinding HTC splash is horrible. I've been looking through all the files with root explorer, and there are hundreds, but I'm not seeing it so far.
Just curious if any one knows where it is?

you can swap the boot animation but not the splash screen atm, its an issue of not having s-off.

Ya I've located the boot anim, so basically without s-off there's no way to change that huh? I was thinking, locate the image and then replace it ha ha. Not that simple I guess then.

You can change your boot animation by replacing the "bootanimation.zip" file with a boot anim of your choice. However, you cannot change the splash screen which is the white screen with the HTC when you first turn on your phone, at least not until we get S-OFF.
Also, its more than just one image. Its a series of images played back using a desc.txt file all put into one .zip file. (im going off of memory and the file could be called something else.)
An Invisible location called S-Off
Special thanks to nolimitzr2 for testing!
Info:
The splash screen is stored as its own partition like a boot image. The splash screen is located at mmcblk0p14. This means that we can use the executable dd to modify the splash screen from recovery. This is S-OFF only!
What is new about this?
Right now, the splash screen needs to be flashed via PH98IMG.zip or fastboot. This isn't quite as convenient as flashing via recovery. With this, you could store several that you enjoy on your SD card and quickly swap between them via recovery rather than loading up a new PH98IMG.zip or fastboot whenever you want to switch.
How to use:
1. Download template zip file.
2. Put the splash screen you want named splash1.img in the splash folder in the zip file. Use 7zip to drag and drop it in.
3. Flash in recovery.
I nor anyone else are responsible for damage to your device.
edit: also to rom devs, please don't abuse this and brand everyone's phone to your rom if they don't want it.

Anything is possible, but it is likely a bad flash would just yield a bad looking splash screen. However if it was having trouble booting because of it, you could likely get into hboot to reflash one via hboot since the splash doesn't load before directly booting to hboot.

The splash1.img has to be created the same way as usual. This is just a different way to flash it.

Feeling like a rookie here, I can't see the boot image file on my sd from twrp.
Did some searching and found some post about that and some command but not sure where to run them.
http://www.redmondpie.com/how-to-set-up-android-adb-and-fastboot-on-windows-tutorial/
Once you have that setup, pull the "boot.img" from the zip and save it on your PC, boot into bootloader, fastboot, open command prompt on PC, cd to the directory on your PC where you saved "boot.img" and do:
Code:
fastboot flash boot boot.img
You can use the boot image from this post.

Thank you! Been waiting for this. I was gonna try and modify the hboot myself but I would be pissed if I bricked the phone. I hate the red text.
So I want to flash a custom splash as well from here however the android-info.txt if for the international version. File type should be the same but I didn't wanna take a chance doing it wrong for this phone. As long as the file format is correct and the android-info.txt is correct is should be fine?

you can always take the android-info.txt file from the firmware zip. i used it from the red text removed zip.

not a problem! Red Text is now gone and I got my breaking bad splash screen back. When I flashed it the 1st time it failed like you said, what's odd phone rebooted immediately. Just left command prompt open, did an adb reboot and flashed again once back into download mode took right away. Figure I let people know incase it does the same thing.

@SoLdieR9312 made some custom splashes that are compatible with the M9. I'm not sure if they changed the file format from the M8 or not here. Remove the .txt file in the zip and replace it with the one schmeggy929 posted here . Make sure both the new .txt file and splash screen are in the same zip. Then just flash it per the instructions posted on soldiers splash screen thread. Worked perfect, same one I was using on my M8. His .android info file was for the international version so you just have to update that to work for the Sprint version. File format is the exact same on both variants for the splash screen so you don't have to mess with editing the splash screen file.
Thanks. Worked perfectly! Now we just need more splashes to choose from...

Yea I have been rocking a breaking bad one since m7. Since the screen resolution is the same I don't see why the m7 & m8 splashes that are out there wouldn't work. If htc changed the format but could be as simple as just renaming the file and updating the Android info file. Although I'm not a dev so I don't know if that would work or not.

once you convert Splash1.img to Splash1.nb0 and using M9 android-info.txt you are good to go. Sim said look around for Splash flasher 1.0.
Take your image and put it in the right folder type number for convert png, Jpg or bmp to img and rename to Splash1.nb0.
