I have a EVO 3D with hboot 1.5 and I was trying to install a new ROM and instead of extracting kernel from that zip I think I browsed a wrong kernel and installed it through flash image GUI tool. Now, I am stock on recovery screen and none of the kernel or none of the roms that I try to install seem to work, none go past HTC screen. I have teamwin recovery installed. Please help.

You are going to need to use fastboot to reboot recovery and flash your rom. Instructions are here: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=17083811&postcount=2

you'll have to use fastboot.
htc unlock method only unlocks kernel write access while in fastboot or android mode.
since you've loaded an incompatible/bad kernel, you aren't able to access android mode and the only option HTC has left you is fastboot mode.
in order to enter the recovery through fastboot mode, use the following command:
fastboot boot c:\downloads\recovery.img (either cwm or twrp will work).
good luck!
Thank you Sir!!!
Thank you both of you!!!

Have you tried downloading the twrp pg86img.zip & make sure it's named PG86IMG.zip then put it on the root of you're sdcard, boot into bootloader and update that way?
CM powered EVO 3D, enough said.

when the device either hangs on the htc logo or reboots while on the htc logo, it means there is an issue with the actual kernel/ramdisk.
when dealing with a custom recovery, they should always boot without any issues. the best suggestion off the top of my head is to make sure if you're on the CDMA version, use the shooter recovery and if you're on the GSM version, use the shooteru version of the custom recovery.
otherwise, as suggested above, reflash the confirmed correct custom recovery for your device. there are a few ways to flash the custom recovery although, being you used the htc unlock method, regular custom recovery mode will not have write access to the boot/kernel partition.
if you're interested in loading any ROMs which come with kernels or separately flashing a custom kernel, there are essentially two complete methods:
1) use my Flash Image GUI app from normal android mode to flash the kernel. then flash the ROM from custom recovery.
2) use fastboot boot c:\android\cwm-recovery.img . this will temporarily boot the custom recovery and htc unlock will grant it write access to the kernel/boot partition. this command is different than fastboot flash recovery c:\android\cwm-recovery.img. the fastboot boot will temporarily boot into the custom recovery while fastboot flash will permanently write it into the recovery partition.
hope all the extra details make sense and helps!
Ummm.....Just my 2 cents, but it sounds as though the most basic possible problem has been overlooked here. You need to go into menu>settings>power and uncheck the "fast boot" box or do a battery pull, then try to boot into your bootloader to access recovery. With your phone completely powered down (fast boot unchecked or after battery pull), hold volume down and press power. That will put you in your bootloader with an option to boot recovery from there.
ok i'm a noob i've used thr shooter and not the shooteru cwm img, now all works

Hello xda every I have an major problem I tried to flash an rom today via the rom manager app and cleared cache and others that was requires now I cannOt get into recovery mode it's just shows the htc logo and boots up regular but I can acres fastboot I'm on 1.50 s-on all help would be very appreciated other i I searched other threads to no avail
If you tried flashing a rom with a custom kernel through rom manager it won't work. You have to flash that through fastboot. You say that your phone "boots up regular" as in boots into android?

Not all of your infmration is easy to follow or understand.
Essentially, if you're looking to flash a kernel or ROM (which many times also include a kernel), there are three basic methods (two seem the easier) with hboot 1.50 and htc's unlock method:
1) For Kernel Flashing: From Android mode, using my application, Flash Image GUI. Put the kernel .zip file on your sdcard, select from inside the application and flash.
If flashing a ROM, pull out the kernel file (usually named boot.img), push to sdcard and flash using Flash Image GUI.
If you're away from a computer and want to flash a kernel, this is a great tool.
2) Load the custom recovery, NOT using the traditional method (reboot recovery, bootloader -> recovery, etc), but a specific method for Hboot 1.5. From the prompt use: fastboot boot c:\downloads\cwm-recovery.img.
This will temporarily boot the custom recovery image and the HTC unlock method will grant it write access to the boot partition while in this mode.
In this temporarily booted recovery mode, when a full ROM (with kernel included) is flashed, the kernel will flash correctly.
3) Boot into recovery using the traditional methods, reboot recovery, bootloader -> recovery, etc, and after the custom recovery has loaded, flash the ROM. Reboot into fastboot mode and then separately flash the kernel from the computer: fastboot flash boot c:\boot.img.
Downside to this method would be if a zImage is included instead of the boot.img for the kernel, won't flash correctly.
If you're issues are with not entering a custom recovery mode when following step 3, there are a few options. If you're able to boot into normal android mode w/o any issues and you seem familar with ROM manager, flash the custom recovery again from there.
My app, Flash Image GUI, also offers the same feature, select the recovery.img or PG86IMG.zip file off the sdcard and Flash Image GUI will flash it.
Another option is to flash it via fastboot: fastboot flash recovery c:\downloads\cwm-recovery.img
Hope that helps clarify!

If the device does not make it past the splash screen this usually indicates a bad kernel (or ramdisk) or bad flash.
Either flash the same recovery file again or download a new recovery file.
Sometimes a bad flash can occur, usually rare. Sometimes the recovery file can corrupt while downloading, usually rare. But these things do occur.
Good luck!

Go to twrp site and download the latest image which is 1.1.1.img and flash it using fastboot all should be well.
If you HTC unlocked, you have to flash everything other than ROMs through fastboot.
That means kernels, recoveries, splash screens, etc. have to flashed through fastboot.
In your case you would download the twrp 1.1 image and enter 'fastboot flash recovery twrp.img'
Is there a newer CWM (currently using 4) for those of us stuck with HBOOT 1.5?
And if so, where can I find it? I've searched but every recovery I try won't work with this crappy HTC Method.

Have you tried TWRP? I'm htc unlocked 1.5 and it works fine for me. Try that or have a look at this.

In theory, the only issue should be HTC not unlocking the boot partition while booted in the standard recovery mode.
I'm s-off with revolutionary, but curious, what about the custom recovery's don't work for you? What error messages do the custom recovery's provide?

I can't install the latest CWM Recovery. That is the main issue. I'm stuck with an outdated version. If I try to load it via Rom Manager, after trying to boot into recovery, i get the splash screen, a black screen, then the phone reboots. I've tried to pull it from the CWM website and flash it via fastboot and the same thing happens. Is there something that has to be modified for recovery to work when unlocked via the HTC method?
Is there a version of the latest CWM 5.0.2.0 that will work with the HTC unlock method on hboot 1.5? Anyone? Anyone?
I am on hboot 1.5 and have been able to flash different recoveries fine. So far I have used TWRP 1 & 2. You should be able to flash via bootloader which includes adb commands sent from cmd on your PC.
You need:
Android SDK (Install from Android site)
HTC ADB Drivers (should install automatic..if not google and find and install)
Put your desired .img (recovery) into the folder where ADB.EXE exists (android-sdk sub-directory)
Reboot into bootloader---->fastboot
RUN THIS COMMAND FROM YOUR PC WITH THE PHONE ATTACHED VIA USB CABLE cd c:/******* fastboot flash recovery recovery.img
where ******* is the path to ADB.EXE (same folder as .img file and ADB.EXE)
for example cd c:/android fastboot flash recovery recovery.img
Hi people facing a problem with my Phone. The problem is it won't reboot to system anymore even when i select system after going into reboot menu in Team Win Recovery Project v2.2.1 ...What happens is when i select system in the reboot menu, it boots to my Teamwin recovery instead of system but when i select power off or recovery or bootloader it goes into those fine. I even tried factory reset from bootloader and from Teamwin recovery but it still reboots to Teamwin recovery. I just want it to be able to get to my system again so i can have everything working..
This is what i did before it became like this. I was on HTCevohacks on the HTC evo 4g lte roms page trying to install CM10 ROM for Rooted HTC Evo 4G LTE! [Android 4.1.2][STABLE]. i downloaded CM10 Rom zip file and Gapps 4.1.2 zip file. i put both on my external storage then tried to install them and fail but before that i made a backup of my System, Data and Boot on my external storage. When it failed i factory reset from recovery without restoring backups and it started up perfectly, i even set up my phone interface again linking my google mail and wifi connections. next i went back to recovery and restore my backups from my external storage and that's when i couldn't get back to system. I still have my backup files. They are boot.emmc.win, boot.emmc.win.md5, data.ext4.win.md5, system.ext4.win and system.ext4.win.md5...
this is my HTC evo 4g lte specs..

I don't have a boot.img to flash that i know off so where do i get my boot.img so i can flash it and have my system running again?
Pull the boot img from the rom your flashing. You should probably read the "don't panic " thread stickied in q&a. All your answers are there

If booting system is loading twrp then you have flashed twrp as a kernel, flash a Rom with kernel installer or fastboot kernel

Yes, that makes a lot more sense, i think i flashed twrp as a kernel without knowing it that's why booting system boots to twrp..bout bro i'm still new to this whole thing so please explain step by step how i can flash a Rom with kernel installer or fastboot kernel or provide a link to a guide..please my phone is off nd i'm missing out on calls, i really need to put it back to normal nd not miss with it anymore..i appreciate your first help..
You need to find a ROM that is son friendly, like meanrom. It will flash the whole ROM including the boot.IMG just like you would if you were s-off. It doesnt need anything extra done on your part. Or you need to extract the boot.img from your cm zip and fastboot flash that. In order to fastboot flash the kernel you need to set up adb. Google how to set up adb on windows or Mac or Linux or whatever os your computer is.

Meanrom has a kernel installer, just leave it alone for 5-10 minutes to install. Or to flash kernel manually, when you are ready to flash a Rom extract the boot.img from the Rom zip and use uniflash, bootimg flasher, or fastboot to flash it. ADB Tools and HTC drivers are all you need to flash the kernel through fastboot. Just extract folder and place boot image inside. In windows you can hold shift and right click, select open command window here for the terminal. Then connect phone I'm fastboot (bootloader/fastboot) and type fastboot devices to make sure the pc sees it. Type fastboot flash boot boot.img and then boot recovery and flash rom
