Hello, i am a newbie in Android so i was wondering if it is possible to flash any custom Kernel on Stock ROM for HTC EVO 3D from Sprint.
I was reading about that this morning but devs do not specify if they are compatible or not. The fact is that i want to flash one of:
*Anthrax Kernel(enables Overclock and USB Host)
*RCMix Kernel(enables Overclock)
In addition i have to mention i have a Rooted EVO via htcdev, and it has hboot 1.50. I downloaded Flash GUI for Flashing Kernels but i am not sure if the kernels mentioned above are compatible with stock ROM. Suggestions are accepted about what is the best Kernel/ROM for my EVO.
Thanks in advance for all your replies.
Aosp Roms get Aosp kernels.
Sense based roms (stock) get sense kernels.
- kernels must be compatible with installed fw radio
(2.08.651.2 & 651.3 have same radio; 2.17.651.5 has new radio & no custom kernels yet b/c kernel source isnt released.)
Some of the 651.5 custom roms (like meanrom) have a few tweaks incorporated with the stock kernel.
So u need to know your fw base to figure out your options.

You're on the newest baseband/radio, so there aren't any custom kernels that are compatible with what you have (yet)

There is a way, but I have no experience with hboot 1.5 so I don't know if you can or not. My guess is if there is a way to downgrade, it would have to be by using an RUU, I'll see if I can help you find an RUU to use.
Note: If you can downgrade via RUU on hboot 1.5, you will lose EVERYTHING. I had to use an RUU to fix some major mistakes I made recently on my phone, and I lost everything, including superuser (i.e. root), but I kept S-OFF
EDIT: You can use an RUU but you have to relock your bootloader to apply the RUU. I'm going off to class now so I can't find the RUU for you now, but a google search for it should give you results. You need the 2.08.651.3 RUU (it should be an EXE file)

So, i think it is better to wait some time, maybe in the future the source code will be available and some kernels for this version appear.

Yes, I'm just waiting as well, I'm perfectly content with the stock kernel on the new baseband. It's just a matter of time before HTC releases their source code and our wonderful devs can get cracking on custom kernels

freeza has built a stock rom with some tweaks.

I'm currently fully updated on the new OTA and running InfectedROM and freezas kernel. This thing cooks.
The kernel is currently locked at 1.2Ghz, but there is a few changes that can be made at the system level to increase that..... I think. I haven't looked into it.

There is lots of concern about kernels and flashing them with various main versions. There are 3 basic main versions floating around:
Shipped Rezound - Main Version = 1.02.605.6
OTA Rezound - Main Version = 2.01.605.11
Leaked RUU for Android 4.0.3 - Main Version = 3.10.605.7
I am not going to mess with the leaked RUU for 4.0.3 but I can help with the other two. So, all of the following can be flashed in recovery and will install the library then reboot to bootloader to install the boot.img.
This will at least help you install a complete kernel for whatever situation you are in to cure things like WiFi broken.
Choose the one that best fits your situation, copy it to your SD Card, reboot to recovery and choose the Install Zip option. When it reboots to bootloader press power to start and then follow the instructions.
Currently running a Gingerbread ROM before installing the OTA:
Main Version = 1.02.605.6
Currently running a ICS ROM before installing the OTA:
Main Version = 1.02.605.6
Currently running a Gingerbread ROM after installing the OTA:
Main Version = 2.01.605.11
Currently running a ICS ROM after installing the OTA:
Main Version = 2.01.605.11
NOTE: You must be HTC UnLocked
If you are running the stock OTA stick with that kernel
By the way,
The GB kernel is the unlocked kernel for ADB when phone is active.
The ICS kernel is the one for ICS 4.0.1
thanks for writing this up Nils, I think it will save alot of problems and questions arising from flashing different roms !
thanks man!
are these stock kernels??

I assume your at the 3.x main version then. I can get you to the stock kernel but can't change the main version with this approach. You could try the gb kernel from the released version and see if you get the mainver failure. If you do you can use the manual approach to get to mainver back to 1.02.605.6
I'm currently on rooted stock shipped Rezound, no OTA. I'm having trouble flashing back to CleanICS, ineffibilis ICS and ineffibilis Gb roms. I was previously on CleanICS. Then decided i wanted to go back to a Gb ROM. So what I did was flash a GB boot.img then I tried to flash ineffibilis Gb, but then the installation gets aborted in recovey. I was able to restore my stock rooted GB ROM though.
I tried to flash your kernel for "stock Gb Rezound, before OTA", but I'm also getting a Mainver failure.
What do I need to do to Be able to flash ineffibilis GB ROM? I'm currently on Gb stock no OTA. Shouldn't I be able to flash other Gb roms without worrying about mainver?
Will the "curently running ICS before OTA" also install the new firmware?

In my case, I was on stock with OTA 2.01.605.11, and am installing Senseless 2.1 ICS. By your terminology, would I go with "running an ICS ROM after installing OTA", or stick to the stock kernel per the final bold statement?

If your going to the ICS ROM you need to flash the ICS kernel.
The last statement simply means if you are running the OTA don't bother with any other kernels.
Gotcha. Thanks Nils
So to go from your ICS back to a stock rooted nandroid restore what would be needed? The main version thing is confusing.

To go back to stock from my ICS ROM as long as you have not installed the OTA just requires running the stock RUU. You should not have to relock or anything since you still have the stock radio and hboot.
Now if you installed the OTA that is another story and there is a whole thread about that.
Part of my reason for starting this thread was to help others with main version problems.
The second reason was to help myself and other developers determine when we could safely cut our ROM's over to the OTA main version even if we did not use the new OTA kernel.
The downloads for these kernels, even after just 1 day, clearly indicates that most people have either accepted the OTA or installed the OTA ROM on their own. In other words, most of the downloads are for the versions that are based on the OTA main version to be installed on custom ROM's that use the old main version kernels.
I will watch the downloads for a few more days then decide what to do with my ROMs

No. I didn't run the ota. Just need to get back to the stock gb Rom I made a backup of right after unlocking and rooting for a minute.

Do the nand restore and flash the GB kernel with old main version.
Nils,
Just wanted to clarify one thing. I relocked, flashed original ruu, accepted ota, unlocked again and rooted. still using this rom which is essentially bone stock rooted. If I flash CR based off latest ota and later decided to restore nandroid of the bone stock, do I flash this kernel as well?
Currently running a Gingerbread ROM after installing the OTA:
Main Version = 2.01.605.11
my apologies for the question but I wondered in the case you are restoring a nandroid, do you need to also flash the kernel before restoring the nandroid. Hope I made myself clear. lol.
Hey all.
I understand that i must be in s-off to downgrade.
If all I did was flash CleanRom with a patch, did i actually upgrade? Or can i download the stock GB ruu, rename it to the ph19img and be about my merry way? Then reset to locked like nothing ever happened?
I ask because my Bluetooth didn't work before, and it still doesn't, so i want to take it into the store.
S-on
CleanRom DE 1.4
Kernal: 3.0.16
HBOOT: 2.11.0000
Radio: 0.95.00.118r and 0.95.00.1223r
Build Number: 3.14.605.5
Thanks
Look like you are on gb firmware already. The patch just makes the ics rom work on the old firmware... Your issue just may be with the rom. Try a full wipe and re flash the rom, or try a different rom...
Or just s-off and do whatever you want.

The latest OTA ICS from sprint works fine with hboot 1.4. Just be sure to flash the right .zip. Try this Here
Basic Sprint Stock Rom, zip-aligned with a few simple extras.
I'm on 1.4 and tribulattifather 's from works (well)
No need to update hboot with his rom like some others do
But does that include the new KERNEL as well? I noticed that the kernel build wasn't listed. Mean ROM is reportedly working for 1.4 as long as you don't take the new kernel. So my question still remains. Is anyone working on a way to make the new release / kernel / firmware work for 1.4?
coal686 said:
New kernel. MikeyXDA put out a new version of meanROM based on the new ota except uses the vm leak kernel. Works fine for older hboots. Flash the new kernel with it, get bootloop if on older hboot.
So I did some further research and to answer your question, no. Nobody has got the new kernel to work with older hboots. If you want to flash the new kernel, why not upgrade your hboot? People have had success doing that, no ill affects. plus its easy to revert to hboot 1.4 if you want.

Since there are so many questions being asked all over the place, I figured I would try to create and update this thread accordingly with links and whatnot from any information that is provided in following posts.
After rooting, and achieving S-Off, what should be flashed?
Radio
PRI
Kernel
Baseband
How?
All contained in below link in one nice update known as the firmware.
You can do this before or on top of an already installed ROM running this base such as Mean ROM 2.6
Newest OTA is 2.13.651.1
Flash newest firmware from here

Flash the newest radio - Latest: 1.12.11.0809 - Improves signal performance and drop problems
I did this
Now I ask this of you:
What else should/can be flashed after achieving S-Off?
PRI?
Firmware (does that even make sense to flash firmware, only to flash a ROM right on top of it)?
After that, then you flash your ROM
Mean ROM is based on the newest firmware. So does that automatically flash the newest files to your phone?

Flashing Mean Rom will update your baseband only. You still need to flash the radios and pri updates yourself.

I'm definitely not a "developer guy" but you're probably gonna need to run the Global RUU to get the new radios/hboot and then you should be able to use the current ROMs. Anyone can correct me if I'm wrong. Just like you, I haven't flashed a new ROM in a long time but I did get the "Leaked" Global RUU on my phone.

Personally, I think you should try to:
- RUU back to stock and get all of the latest updates
- achieve S-OFF using everyone's favorite wire trick
- Try out the Neo roms.
Personally, I'm on Tron 2.1, which is Jelly Bean, AOKP and PAC. It's really awesome (although it has some bugs). The Infection ROMs are great too.
I'm scared to mess with all of the HBOOT and radio nonsense. Better to start off with the latest stock, and then flash the ROM only.
You need to re lock bootloader before running RUU. But you can't get the latest Hboot or radios by running an RUU as there is not an RUU out yet.
