I have HTC Evo 3D
It's on HBOOT 1.5 S-ON
It was S-OFF two days ago. I tried to go back to stock rom the 2.17 latest, I flashed it and when I get to start up screen, it freezes between from Sprint to 3D logo.
Now I am stuck, still HBOOT 1.5 but S-OFF, I currently have TWRP recovery 1.x.
I cannot even install my Evo3d driver on my PC. It says "Unknown Device" I tried updating the software with USB_driver_20101122_release but it would say "The best driver has already been installed".
At this point, I don't care what rom (stock or custom rom), I just want to be able to install a rom so I can use my phone again, please help
I didn't have a NANDROID backup.

Get a ruu file and extract the img files, place your phone in fastboot and flash via fastboot.

Give Clockworkmod Recovery a try, I've heard TWRP has been having issues with new ROMs. CWM Touch is now available by the way, but I use the standard CWM recovery because I'm just more used to it. You could also try flashing a different bootloader since you have s-off, since there might be an issue with having the bootloader "locked" even though you have s-off.
If none of that helps, you could get the 2.08 RUU exe file and go back to completely stock (but you'll still keep s-off, I can confirm this because this is what I had to do to update to 2.17). Once the stock ROM boots up, go to system updates and choose to take the OTA update. After your phone updates and reboots, you'll be on the new baseband. Then you have to flash a custom recovery, and after that you'll be able to flash any ROM you like
Hboot 1.5 sucks sooo dearly...recommend u to just sell your evo and get one with a better hboot...all problems that u havev I see alll over the forums...and what's the cause....hboot 1.5 ...I would of done sold mine if it had it

Trying to root using HTC 1.5 with no success.
Hi to all I have tried to root using the HTC boot unlocker with no success. I was using the step by step instructions from HTC evo hacks. I got to the step at the command prompt where I put in the unlock code and I got this : C:\rootevo3dnew>fastboot flash unlocktoken Unlock_code.bin
sending 'unlocktoken' (0 KB)...
OKAY [ 0.152s]
writing 'unlocktoken'...
(bootloader) unlock token check successfully

See the Guide/flashing Notes in my signature. You need to rerun the currently installed "FULL" Ruu or the the Latest RUU, then the unlock will work.
I did the HTCDev and unlocked it went to thread on downgrade from 1.5 hboot to 1.4 tried that and it did not work. I went to try the wire trick and this is what I get when I try to use the controlbear. the phone connects and goes through process but says the following...
======== ControlBear 0.6 beta for JuopunutBear S-OFF ==========
Starting up......
Connecting to device...
Searching device.....
Found device.....but device has no root!!
Press ENTER to exit.....
Any help would be helpful I have tried superuser but wont install, tried rootevo3dnew, temproot sensation Ect. everything says I need to be rooted.
I am running stock rom that shipped with phone and yes I did updates. I am Sprint CDMA 2.17 rom shipped, 1.5 Hboot. I have flashed roms and modded before but dont consider myself to be advanced. I have done flashing and installing roms with my old HTC Touch pro2 but alot easier on touch pro2 LOL...

Ok, let's make sure we know where you are at to start with. When you use the vol and power button to boot to fastboot, does the phone show "unlocked". If not, I think you need to do the htc method again. I have not kept up recently, but I am not sure there is any method other than the HTC method that works every time for 1.5. I have used the HTC method on two phones without a problem, so that is the method I use.
Once you get that far, I used adb to push or flash the twrp image into the recovery section of the phone. Then you should be able to flash superuser via the install menu of twrp. There are threads that have detailed explanations on how this is done.
Yea, I had a bit of a learning curve from my TP2 also, but love this phone!

In my post Ive included a flashable SuperSU zip. What youll need to do is boot to recovery and install this zip. Then reboot. You should have superuser access then.
Still learning this forum so excuse any errors I make. I've spent the last 10 hours trying to fix the mess I created on my wife's Evo 3d. I was able to root my phone and it was relatively easy so I tackled hers as well and have gotten a bootloop I cannot figure out, 10 hours later. I'm on hboot 1.5. I unlocked the phone (using a pretty reliable video), loaded 4EXT Recovery then tried to load roms. Everything worked fine until the rom-loading portion. Since then, the phone loops, but once or twice it made it all the way to the main screen and before I could slide the ring, a read error message appeared next to the bars of service then the phone just completely reboots. Right now, the only thing I can get into is the bootloader and the clockworkmod v4.0.1.4, somehow I lost my 4EXT Recovery. I'm stuck and in dire straights as my wife is going out of town and will KILL me if I don't fix her phone. Please help! BTW, somehow I managed to NOT back anything up (stupidity on my part). Will I be able to get this thing back to stock at least or is it now a paperweight?

Your not bricked by any means. And Im going to guess you tried to boot an ICS rom.. dont. They dont work with hboot 1.5. If you really want to go back to stock run the 2.17 RUU and youll be back to where you started. Another option is to download a GB rom and flash that. Not ICS. If your able to get to the bootloader than you can still load up 4ext recovery so you can flash the GB rom.
Edit: some hboot 1.5 users are lucky and can flash them if they used the correct VM firmware but majority of users have problems.

Thanks, I just tried flashing a rom that has taken it back to stock but I'm still in the bootloop. Should I stop flashing and simply locate the RUU?
22410,
It sounds like the kernel did not flash correctly with 4ext Recovery (next time, make sure u indicat S-on in its settings). I'm not sure if you were just stock 2.17 rooted or not, but use 7zip on your pc to open & extract/copy out the "boot.img" file from the rom, zip, etc you were using and copy it to your fastboot pc folder. Still have the Cwm 4.0.1.4 recovery.IMG file there too right (or the 4ext recovery.img file)? Ok...
- put phone in fastboot usb mode
From PC's fastboot command prompt type:
- " fastboot flash boot boot.img "
(this will reflash the kernel/boot image extracted from a rom)
If your recovery is screwed up:
- " fastboot flash recovery YourRecoveryFilename.img "
(ie: cwm_4.0.1.4_recovery.img or recovery.img, etc as listed in fastboot folder, to reflash a recovery to your phone).
With S-on, to properly enter a recovery for flashing ANYTHING you must:
- " fastboot boot YourRecoveryFilename.img "
(doesn't apply if using 4ext's Smartflash or TWRP's Dumlock settings. But you must have a bootable android OS/kernel first, once the flash is screwed it won't work).
If u have a Sprint CDMA EVO3D/HTC Unlocked & S-on (not Jbear s-Off), then the guide in my signature has more info.
Edit: as NIN said you will likely have problems flashing ICS roms with S-on (hboot version doesn't matter). If u are still unlocked & have a working recovery u can flash any gb Rom successfully after wiping system, data, & cache (or run superwipe zip). Meanrom GB v4.5 recommended.

Hm. Maybe just try manually wiping everything from recovery instead? I never use superwipes and as long as I factory data reset x2, wipe cache/dalvik x2, I never have issues. That's just how I've done it on all my phones and I never have issues.
I just flashed Newts One S RC3. It took me a while but I finally found a method that worked. I did it once and got through set-up and was in play store downloading apps when it went into boot loop. I tried the same method again and it didn't work. I messed around with different methods for a while before getting the following to work.
What I'm using:
HTC Unlock method
Hboot 1.5
S-on
cwm recovery 4.0.1.4
I used a computer to fastboot to recovery. Did factory data reset, wipe dalvik, and cache all x2. I installed the .zip rom file from SD card. And then installed the .zip anthrax ics RLS5 kernel file from SD card. Then I rebooted and so far everything is working fine. I've been running it for a couple hours now. I manually downloaded my apps one by one from the play store for fear of repeating what happened to me the first time. And I've just finished signing in to everything I use and haven't had an issue yet.
I hope this helps.

Yes i herd about this but have you tried charging or connecting your phone to a computer, many people can't charge or connect to computer via USB because of this kernel
Idk before I sent my phone in a had been using that kernel. I had no trouble charging/connecting. But really what it comes down to is every one of these phones is different, then you throw in the hboot and other key factors and it just gets worse.

Turn off smartflash if you are s-off you dont need it.
Then flash chads htc leak rls1 kernel, that stopped all the bootloops and problems for me its something about the stock kernel i am guessing. Everything worked fine after using that kernel. Anthrax rls5 says not to use it with sense 3.6, its right on androidfilehost. Chad said to use the leak rls1 instead for sense 3.6.
boot loop
wonder why every sense 4.0 ics rom i try to flash to my htc evo 3d... it always boot loop, i done tired everything everyone told me and the same thing happens.. only thing that really works on my phone is gingerbread... any suggestion??? really would appreciate it...

In my case I can't get any ROM based on the leaked RUU to boot unless I changed the kernel, this applies to both 3.6 and 4.0 ROMs. I don't know if you're GSM or CDMA but I know the kernel from Shooter_Ice works for me which is a GSM ROM. I can flash that over just about any ROM and it works or I can install the ROM straight up and it works to. If you're GSM, try that, if you're CDMA then look for a similar ROM that isn't based on the HTC leak.

ICS ROMs bootloop if you are Hboot 1.5 S-On (which you are if you unlocked via HTC). I recommend you get S-off using the wire trick or downgrade to 1.4 S-off. See the stickies in the CDMA Development section (or GSM development) to find information and steps on how to do it.

+1, go s-off and you can flash anything you want
Loop FIX
Sometimes you will get boot loops even with 4ext.
One thing that I have found which works is flashing mean ROM 2.4 ICS as a base.
This ROM probably will not boot or will get stuck in a boot loop but that is fine in this case. From there on use 4ext to complete a "dirty install" of another ICS ROM. I recommend SOS De-Sensed Rom. Sometimes flashing a ICS ROM on top of another ICS ROM (booting or non booting) allows for install.
to bypass all the bs go straight to fastboot and flash 4ext recovery 1.00.5 and do the s off wiretrick and then try to flash the rom... when you get s off it releases more permissions for the kernel to flash to the rom without having to use flash image gui from joekrimz
try this
ok you need to flash the boot.img file trough the bootloader, if that doesnt work try flash image gui
Flash custom rom then pull out your battery, go to fastboot then try flash this boot.img with fastboot http://db.tt/kEUVhnvV

HBOOT 1.58.0000
is there anything I can do?
What is your final goal? You are s-off, so you can run any hboot you want. If you want to run GB or AOSP, you can downgrade your hboot to 1.4 using a PG86IMG.zip file. If you want to run an ICS Sense ROM, you can stick with hboot 1.58.
Hey guys, since I received the OTA update I cannot flash my roms on my SD card. I'm somewhat of an amateur so i'm not entirely sure what i've been doing exactly but its always worked, I am S-off Hboot 1.58 LOCKED. I have tried setting up 4ext but I get an error and busy box doesnt seem to think my phone is rooted, I used to load roms by using recovery and i believe revolutionary, Now when I go into recovery i get the HTC style error message with the phone and an exclamation. What can I do to fix this. The ICS rom runs fine but I would like to load in the new ICS mean rom. Any help would be appreciated!

Never take an OTA if you are rooted!!
Now that that is out of the way, it sounds like the OTA removed your custom recovery. Have you tried to flash a new recovery? Download the 4ext img file from this site and use fastboot to push it to recovery on your phone. Then you should be able to flash MeanROM.

I have not tried that yet. This update really threw me for a loop. Kind of separating the men from the boys at this point lol. I will go ahead and try to flash that over hopefully I can find a DIY type thread on it
Hey guys I have an Htc evo 3d with 1.5 hboot unlock with htc dev tool.. at the time it was unlock I was able to install willshooter [2.08.651.3] rom htc sense 3.0. now that I am ready to sell the device I want to restore it back to stock ICS.
the issues that I have is that I am unable to go into recovery, I try using Rom Manager to get a recovery to install but it wont stick, and it wont let me go into recovery.
I already try using updating my bootloader, it wont take it aswell.. and I also try using the OTA option where you go into the setting and try to update it I have a clean 16gb sdcard in case its a memory issue and the cellphone is not connected. I am using wifi to try to update it.
I would appreciate if anyone been on this situation before and would lend a hand.. if more information is needed please ask, because I need to restore this device..
Thanks.
Unless I missed something, you should be able to lock the bootloader and then run an ruu.exe to get back to stock.

That should work. Your bootloader will say "*** RELOCKED ***" but other than that everything should be stock.
You can download the most current Sprint ICS RUU.exe (2.89.651.2) here.
BTW, ROM Manager doesn't work well on the Evo 3D so you might have better luck downloading the 4EXT Recovery app and usiing that to flash and boot into recovery. There are free downloads available on the www.4ext.net website.

Can you flash boot.img from fastboot? If you can flash the boot.img from Negalite zip. Can you enter 4ext recovery? Try reinstalling the drivers.

I believe it was Negalite BluRom that was causing the issue....but its not happened since then.......its the one with the HTC Evo 3D boot screen in 3D
stucked perhaps at bootloop
hi,
i am new to rooting but i tried and succeed and now i really want to try yas4 rom, and i also downloaded and
installed successfully but after rebooting my device, it sucked at htc logo, i tried different kernel (mirage
& howpathetic) via aroma modifications but no use, perhaps device is having bootloop.
my device details are
htc evo 3d x515m, GSM, fingerprint asia/india
shooter_u, hboot 1.53.0007, radio 11.25.3504.06_M, OpenDSP-v02.6.0.2226.00.0202, unlocked & rooted but s-on
(as this rom is s-on compatible, so i didn't try of s-off it)
if anybody knows, how to install this rom, kindly help.
thanks in advance.

What recovery are you using? Download this and flash it from fastboot. Enable 4ext smartflash and reflash the rom. If it doesn't boot again extract the rom and flash the boot.img from fastboot. If you have any question quote me to get notified.

it works.
a big thanks bro, it worked. I earlier used clockworkmod recovery but as you suggested when i used 4ext recovery with smartflash enabled, it worked in first try, thanks a lot.:good:
Hi, I have a HTC EVO 3D, HBOOT- 1.53.007 that's stuck on bootloop after I tried to install PACMAN. I didn't get the S-OFF...don't know if this could have contributed to that.

Install a stock 4.0.3 (sense/aosp themed etc) with smartflash on at 4ext recovery and your phone will boot normal.

Thanks...but is it too much to ask how I can go about doing all of this? I'm kinda klutz with this that's why I ended up bricking my phone btw don't I need 4ext to be already on the phone? All I have now is the clockwise or whatever it was thing on it. P.S: the original O.S isn't on the phone anymore cuz I went into something and it was removed

Did you unlock the bootloader on HTC dev? Did you install any custom recovery? How did you install PACMAN rom?

I did unlock the bootloader and I had installed 4ext recovery. During the process, PACMAN just kept rebooting the phone and I got so frustrated. I followed some other trend to rectify it, but I ended up taking off 4ext and the original O.S from the phone

So you have to reflash the 4ext and download a rom. You can find Here the 4ext recovery. Flash it through fastboot and after that you can enter 4ext and flash any ics sense-based rom and your phone will boot.

Did you install 4ext or tried only the ruu? If you can enter recovery I can help you on what to do there.

I can't install either of them cause my computer doesn't read the phone. I have CWM still on the and that's the only time I can actually mount the phone via USB to gain access to the SD card
