Did you wiped everything before the flash ?
Sent From My RED 3Dimension
yeah i did wipe everything, and i did get roms to load, but everyrom that i try now gets to the actual rom and keeps giving me errors, like htc.bg process force close
did you follow the instructions on how to flash miui to a phone with hboot 1.5 or did you just do it blindly thinking it will work? if you didnt follow the instructions your kernel did not flash
plus you can always mount your sd-card in recovery to transfer a different ROM, zip, ect.......
I have tried a lot of different things. i have loaded into twrp pushed roms then fastboot load recovery then installing with twrp and i seem to get the same results with every different rom.

What radios are you on software? You should stick with a rom that is built off the latest updates. I have been waiting on a rom to drop built off the latest software update. Are you on the latest software? If you try running old roms built off 2.3.3 and your kernel and radios are the latest you will have issues no matter what you do.
i think i may have been trying flash it all wrong i dont really know what i did right this time but i got it loaded so making a nandroid back up right now thanks for all your guys help

Then my friend who already had a rooted Galaxy S told me to get ROM Manager and it installed Clockwork Recovery. I didn't know you only needed one recovery since I'm noob at this and when I tried to install a Custom ROM with Clockwork, it just boots and I get the Sprint logo and nothing happens. I try to boot into TWRP and nothing also happens. I think having two recoverys is going a major issue with my phone and I'm unable to install any roms. Is there anyway to go back to just having the TWRP Recovery and get rid of the ClockWork/ROM Manager? Or will I have to reset everything and root again?
Huh... Sounds like the hboot 1.5 is giving you issues... Use image GUI app for 1.5 to flash right from normal android mode( everyday user mode) look the thread in themes and apps to get it installed. Let me know how it goes here. No link as I'm using the tapa app

You can't have 2 recoveries installed at the same time...if you initially had TWRP, when you flashed clockwork it would've over-written TWRP. You don't need to reset anything or re-root to get back to TWRP. You should just be able to flash TWRP again. Use the method from the thread you initially followed. Just the part about flashing TWRP is all you need to do. I've never tried it, but you could also try flashing it with the app flash gui image, or something to that nature. Joeykrim developed it and I've heard it works nice, here's where to find info about it, http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1192527. If your phone won't boot, the flash gui image app prob wouldn't be the best way. I would just boot your phone to fastboot, re-flash TWRP recovery, then flash a rom and try rebooting.
I don't have hboot 1.5, so I'm not up to date on the 'special' ways you need to flash, but I know that you need to boot into recovery from fastboot in order to flash a kernel, and I'm not sure if there's other steps you need to to take in the flashing process, so research that and make sure you're doing it correctly. If you don't boot to recovery from fastboot, the kernel won't flash and you'll be stuck in boot loops or something like that. Good luck.
Thank you guys! The flash image gui thing made the fix very seamless. I just flashed TWRP again and now it's showing up. Flashing synergy nitely now. Woot!
I rooted my rezound and flashed a rom with no problems. Today I tried flashing a different rom and I have been unable to start my phone since. I can get into recovery, wipe, flash etc.. but nothing I've tried has gotten my phone to boot. I've tried Awesome Recovery Tool-> Touchscreen based PH98IMG Creator for MainVer which isn't helping and I don't know what else to do. The last message I saw in hboot was something about the main version is older. Can someone please help me get my phone to boot please

the problem u were having has to do with kernels.
when u first tried flashing a different rom, were u going to ics from gb or gb from ics?
gb roms and ics roms have different kernel.
"fastboot flash boot boot.img" then boot into recovery
and flash the rom was the right call.
just wanted to let u know this.
I am still stuck in bootloop. I have used 4ext, twrp, and clockwork. I have tried them all and tried to flash different roms. I am a sprint evo 3d user and i have rev s-off. I am running viper rom right now. But when i do a factory reset and clear the cache data and all do all that type of stuff. I try to install the roms and it says install complete so i reboot from and let it sit a while but it never boots up and it always keeps rebooting and rebooting. Anyone help me please
Are you installing ViperROM ICS? I just installed this myself and experience boot loops. My situation may be different because I have HBOOT 1.5 and HTC unlock.
I was able to resolve this by installing the Anthrax RLS1 kernel w/ ViperROM ICS Beta3. I'm not clear on way this kernel works while others don't though.

RSL1 isnt ment for 3.6 ROMS. Use this one ... htcleak-stockfirmwaretest ....... RSL1 cause random reboots and non working 4G
do you guys have s off if not then this is part of the problem you need to have 4ext custom recovery installed this will solve the problem and after its installed set it up and enable smart flash and this will allow you to flash your boot.img of your are missing thats why your getting boot loops however you cant do this now what you need to do now is go to your pc or laptop boot your device into bootloader and hit the power button you should now be fastboot next you need a copy of the zip file meaning the rom you have flashed to your device on your pc what you need to do is extract that zip file and once its done extracting it will create a folder you will open that folder and scroll down until you see your boot.img and this is what you need to boot up next you will copy the boot.img into the same folder that you have your adb and fastboot drivers in next open cmd and typ what ever commands that you use to get your fastboot driver working and once that is done next you will typ fastboot flash boot boot.img and this will flash your boot.img and after this it will boot up without any bootloops enjoy
none
When you flash the ROM in recovery, does take a minute or two to install, or does it just fly right through the install process?? the ROM could have a bad updater.script in it which causes the ROM not to copy to the phone.
Try a different ROM, if a different flashes, and doesn't boot loop, you know the pproblem. May I suggest "CleanRom Reborn" found at
www.scottsroms.com his roms are awesome, and the one I mentioned has a cool option called LeeDroid Tweeks. Give that a go, your problems will be over.
I was having the same problem in my S-OFF GSM Evo, flashing a new kernel(has to be done via flashing the boot.img) works but its never quite stable. I'm not entirely sure why but KingCobra3D-ICS installed just fine, I'm wondering if it has anything to do with the aroma installer so maybe try a ROM that uses aroma installer.
im having major issues here with my device it all started with me trying to flash it to cynogenmod 10 which apparantly my device has the s-on so i was stuck in the cmod boot logo, luckily i backed up my device prior to that with the stock rom and everything so i restored successfully back to my stock rom. then i was reading along some forums to see what the problem was and i came accrosss this forum "http://androidforums.com/evo-4g-lte-all-things-root/606748-how-install-kernels-s-h-boot-1-15-a.html" which gave me a few options on how to flash kernels with the right one that will work with cynogen mod, i chose option 1 because it said it is recommended which the steps were to take the rom "boot.img" file and copy it over to the android sdk platform tools folder and open up a cmd and i flashed the rom "boot.img" which according to the forum that contains the kernel that belongs with that rom i did what it ask went to fastboot mode and typed in fastboot boot boot.img, which succeeded, when i rebooted the device it boots up acting like it is trying to open up recovery mode which is twrp recovery, after that it does nothing it blacks out and a little white bar flashes on top of the screen from time to time then it turns off and reboots and do same cyckle, i attempted to go back to twrp and restore my stock rom which said it succeeded but when i rebooted it did the same thing acted like it was tryning to boot up to recovery being inforemd with those red letter about developmental purposes only stuff, so i factory rested my device wiped dalvik cache and cache and even wiped the system rom and restored my back up with stock rom and nothing works still, please help i am stuck please!!
You probably need to pull the boot.img from a stock ROM and send it via fastboot since your trying to go back to your stock backup.
thanks, but now i got the cynogen mod 10 to boot up now for some reason the touch screen does not respond to the touch neither does the capacative touch buttons work either do you have any idea what it could be?
If you have the 3.16 OTA update then you're touchscreen firmware is incompatible. If this is the case your stuck with 3.16 based roms. Cm will not work for you.

well the 3.16 ota update is that the latest one?
Yes. If you have the 3.16 update the only way your going to get cm to work is to s-off and downgrade you're tp firmware.

I'll try..
First and foremost you need to go here http://themikmik.com/showthread.php?13192-RADIOS-RECOVERY-FLASHABLE-Jewel-Radio-Collection&p=220556&viewfull=1#post220556 and download the boot.img only for whatever version of the stock rom your backup is.
Put it in your sdk tools and open a command prompt and fastboot flash boot boot.img
Go to twrp recovery and WIPE cache, dalvik, factory reset, and system.
Restore your stock backup.
Reboot.
If you can get back to your stock rom, then you should read up on dirty racun or possibly facepalm to gain s-off if you want to run cm.
Ok so I've been struggling with this for MONTHS. I flashed Hatka 2.x (Android 4.2) a while back, and ever since then I have not been able to install any other rom besides Hatka 2.x.:crying:
Android: 4.2
Rom: Hatka 2.x
Kernel: 3.4.10-g4d47dce [email protected] #1 SMP PREEMPT
HTC Sense: 4+
I have tried flashing several roms from just about anything 4.2.2 - 4.3 and now 4.4.x. I'm not sure If maybe I need a new kernel, boot image or what but I feel like I have tried everything. When I flash a rom I wipe data/cache/dalvik cache (of course), Flash the rom, flash gApps, flash cache/dalvik and more times than not my phone will never get past the HTC logo. Sometimes more lately with 4.4 roms my phone will boot loop only showing the HTC logo for a minute or two then restart. I root and flash several different types of phones for my friends all the time, and never have any of these issues that I've faced with my own phone.
I recently thought about trying to un-root, re-lock, and flash back to stock, then re-root and un-lock again but I'm not sure if that will even help.
Things I've tried:
Several roms
Moded kernel
Stock kernel
Multiple CWM versions
Multiple TWRP versions
Fastboot flash
Adb flash
Adb Sideload
Roms I am currently trying to flash:
AOKP unofficial (4.4.2)
BeanStalk (4.4.2)
CM-11 Nightly (4.4.2)
OSE Official (4.4.2)
My secondary HDD with all of the kernels, roms, and anything else I have tried recently failed so I don't have the specific version numbers for any of the attempts listed above.
If someone could give me any advice on this I would be eternally greatful. The Android/xda community has always been so helpful with many others in times of need, so now after spending months of research and trial & error I am reaching out to anyone here at xda that may be able to give me some advice/assistance.
Links to other threads/tools are greatly appreciated also! :good:
Thank you in advance.
-EDIT-
SOLVED
I took thay10's advice and flashed RUU. Since I got an error flashing RUU 3.04 I found RUU 1.15 here and flashed that successfully.
After that I verified my cid using this method.
When that turned out ok I continued to the HTCDev page to unlock my bootloader.
Once the bootloader was unlocked I used Facepalm S-Off method to achieve S-Off. (Using only the modified boot.img and DNA-rescue.img [links in thread]).
After all that was finished and I now had my bootloader unlocked and S-Off, I chose the recovery of my choice and flashed it using fastboot.
FINALLY, I was able to load the recovery and wipe everything (system,data,cache,sdcard) and flash a 4.4.2 rom of my choice!
Everything works perfectly now, I'm so relieved! Thank you again thay10 for your help. Hopefully this can help someone else out as well.
anyone?
Okay first thing. Looks like your doing a dirty flash and going from rom to rom may cause problems and clutter.
What I would advise is you to do a clean flash which involves you wiping. cache,data,system,sdcard.
But ONLY do this after you backup files you need, and make sure you have fastboot and adb installed and is working properly on your computer.
Edit: Are you still soff and bootloader unlocked?

Thank you for the advice. Yes I am S-off and my bootloader is unlocked. I noticed that the version of cwm I had installed was not wiping the system folder so I flashed 'Philz Touch 6' cwm and used that to do a full wipe including system,data,cache,sdcard and then used adb sideload to flash a couple roms. Each rom I flashed after a full wipe still won't boot. I continue to loop through the htc logo.
ADB and fastboot are both working properly, and htc drivers are fully up to date.
Roms I am currently trying to flash are:
AOKP unofficial (4.4.2)
BeanStalk (4.4.2)
CM-11 Nightly (4.4.2)
OSE Official (4.4.2)

I've never used CWM so I'll half to pass it on to someone else to help you.
Maybe you can try and flash a 3.04 RUU and or try flash TWRP which I know works because I use it everyday,

No problem. I was using TWRP for the longest time but I read a few different places that people were having issues flashing cm-11 on some versions of TWRP and to explorer versions of CWM that worked.
I have RUU downloaded but I have not ran it yet. What exactly will RUU do?
-EDIT- Also when would I run RUU? Would I have to restore my nandroid backup first or can it read my phone while in recovery through adb?
-EDIT- I went ahead and flashed RUU 3.04 while in the bootloader. It says it's sending to my phone right now so I will update shortly with a result.

I flashed the latest TWRP and when I sideload the rom I get the error saying "Error executing updater binary in zip '/data/'
This is the issue I was reading about when people were saying they couldn't flash cm-11 with TWRP. I've even tried installing cm-10.2 roms and had the same issue.

TWRP last time I checked didn't support CM thats why people switched to CWM
What are you trying to do to your phone? Most people only run RUU to get to stock.

I'm guessing you ran the exe. I was refering to the one thats a zip file and you flash it
