Someone please help!!?! I cannot for the life of me flash a ICS rom. I have tried various methods but all to no avail. I have an Evo that I bought some time ago, rooted some time ago using HTC's bootloader unlock and then used adb to flash recovery and su to the phone to gain root. I have flashed many if not all sense roms no problem but now that I am wanting to flash an ICS rom It just won't let me. No matter the recovery I use after flashing an ICS rom it stays stuck on the first splash screen and will not load custom ICS rom. I have wiped all caches did factory resets and whatnot but still have not been able to flash an ICS rom
Any help would be greatly appreciated
Have you tried 4ext with smartflash?
ics
Hello are you using a super wipe tool after wiping cache and dalvik battery stsats then format system and format data and format boot and format all partitions except sd card and when this is done now use the super wipe tool and when its done it will reboot back in recovery and now you can flash any ics rom these are the steps i use with no problem's and yes 4ext is highly recomended
You're S-ON, you need to either use 4ext w smartflash or Joey Krim's Flash Image GUI in order to flash a kernel for ICS.
S-ON does not allow for flashing kernels except in fastboot mode, with 4ext/smartflash which was introduced 2 days ago evidently, or Flash Image GUI.
Easy fix
Thanks everyone. I finally got it to work using 4ext. I was so dead set on keeping twrp that I forgot to look for other recoveries.

Need some help and am not having any luck on the forums.
I have an Hboot 1.5 Evo 3D rooted with the Synergy ROM. I have EXT4 files, and a ziggy kernal.
I have had the ROM or 2 months. I overclocked it to 1.8 GHZ the other day and locked the phone up. I kept trying to reboot and when I did it just locked up. I overcloked in SetCPU, and it was checked "set at boot", so I couldn't get it back down. I kept doing this, tried a factory reset in hboot, and now the only thing the phone does is tries to boot the rom and gets stuck after about 30 seconds.
What can I do? Is this phone fried? I tried to use the command prompt on my computer and can't get anything to communicate with the phone via fastboot USB. Answers needed as I have had a non functioning phone for 4 days. An answer or a link would be greatly appreciated.
Boot into recovery and flash a new rom (or reflash the rom). Make sure you wipe data/cache partitions/dalvik cache before flashing the rom and then wipe the dalvik cache again after flashing the rom.

Can't get into clockwork mod recovery to do that. Don't know what the problem is but I am about to just run this thing over and take it to Best Buy.

Reflash ClockworkMod recovery then, via fastboot. Use this: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=794638.
I flashed the leaked ICS RUU, and I'm S-Off. I'm now running Energy's 2.1 ICS ROM, and I want to try different ICS ROMs. If I were to flash the Android Revolution ICS ROM, would I need to go back to stock ICS?
I know if I want to flash Energy's 2.2 ROM, I'd just flash it over my current 2.1 ROM.
I think you just need to flash super wipe script then flash the android ROM.
Oh okay, cool. Also, do I absolutely NEED 4EXT to flash this, or is Xboarder's 5.5.0.4 recovery okay?
4ext is needed, dont use CWM
or at least highly recommended

you need 4ext to flash mikes rom but xboarders recovery worked fine for energy and speedrun for me.
CWM CAN NOT FLASH KERNEL IN RECOVERY.
4ext takes care of it. You don't HAVE to buy the app. 4ext also has wipe menu with format all partitions (except sd card) option which works the same as superwipe.
Rule of thumb, its always best to backup and wipe whenever you switch between ROMs for a clean install (unless u are flashing an update of your existing ROM). It doesn't take more than 6 minutes to backup and wipe. It's always worth it and you can always advance restore /data from a backup if needed

unless you achieve s-off you will need to separately flash the kernel for that ICS based ROM. You can flash the kernel manually using fastboot from a computer
Code:
fastboot flash boot boot.img
or you can use a kernel flasher or you could use 4ext recovery (just make sure you select that you have S-ON when it asks).
I highly recommend 4ext recovery. Once you try it you wont go back
So i am running the viper rom and it runs awesome. But i really want to install different ROMs when when i use the recovery and back up everything and then reset everything and install the ROMs zip file, it says installed complete and then i reboot from the recovery. When it is booting, it goes to the white screen when HTC in green and then reboots? So it is in boot loop. Anyone have any thoughts on how to fix this? if so that would be great thanks
If you are in a boot loop try checking the integrity of the ROM by running md5 checksum. Re download the rom then clear davlik cache and do a factory reset in Clockwork mod an then re install zip. Remember to get back into clock work mod you hold volume down as you boot the phone.

Sounds like a bad flash. If you are s-on, I recommend you use 4ext as your recovery since this takes care of improper kernel flashes which can cause boot loops. Actually, use it if you are s-off too .
Did you do a super wipe before flashing the new Rom? If not, flash a copy of Chad's super wipe before flashing the Rom.

I am using TWRP recovery right now. I had clockworkmod but it seemed to not work as well. Is there a link to 4ext recovery where i can download and flash it please? Hopefully that will work
Thanks to coal686 for the recovery link in his signature.
I am still stuck with putting a new Rom on my 3d, could anyone help? It still goes in bootloop and I have tried twrp, clockwork, and now 4ext. I factory reset and do what all the threads say but it won't get past the white screen with HTC on it. Then it reboots and does it over and over. Anyone help
I've decide to format my SD and install clean rom without any files at SD.
I've flashed the radio, wiped all what I need delvik,chance and data. I've flashed the rom and....nothing! Its stock at the logo of the rom (virtuous eclipse 1.0.0) in my case and nothing happened...
I removed the battery and contacted the SD to the computer and I found out that no file have been created and the SD is empty except the zip rom on it.
Did anyone can tell me what is the problem?
I have rooted evo 3d with unlock bootloader I use 4ext as recovery, my hboot is 1.49.1107 and my radio is 11.25.3504.06_m.
Something very important I had this rom and its works fine, I've done backup and when I'm restore it lots of apps don't work like 4ext when I want to get into recovery its stock and I have to get out the battery....
thank u all
Try restoring your backup and once your booted into your rom go to settings/sd & phone storage and format your sd. Then replace the rim you were about to flash back on your sd. Then reflash the rom.

maybe my ruu is wrong? how can i know?
when you say you "formatted" your sd card. What format did you use?
I believe they have to be fat32.

Are you S-OFF or S-on? In 4ext recovery have you turned on the SmartFlash feature?
Try flashing boot.img seperately using fastboot.
i'm s off
i will turn on the smart flash at 4ext and flsh boot via fastboot and i hope its wil help
After doing all u suggested still nothing work, its stock on virtuous logo for almost 25 minutes :-( something avoiding me to install rom that came lately but the strange thing is that the first ics rom with sense 4 like will's rom http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1627596 I can install

when flashing other ROMs, use a superwipe script or wipe everything manually (data, cache,system etc )......Some Roms wont boot if you havent wiped system.....
Some Roms include a wipe script.

I formatted my SD because I wanna clean SD. I've made vipe delvik and chace trough cwm turn off my evo, removed the SD (I had a 4ext partition on him so I delete her with Gparted )and then formatted my SD. I copy virtuous eclipse rom to the SD and try to flash it and its got stack at the blink logo for half an hour
I removed my battery go to bootloader and flash 4ext recovery, made super wipe and trying again to flash the rom - I got the same result.
I tried to flash the boot from the zip file trough the bootloader and flash the rom again and again the same result.
I decided to try working roms for sure like leedroid's rom, I flashed him and its worked!
I want an ics rom with sense 4 so I tried to flash will1972's rom, its the first ics rom that someone published and get lots of bugs, I manage to flash him and its worked!
I try again to flash again the virtuous rom and got the same result, get stack at the blink logo...
I've done backup of the rom when its work (virtuous) and now when I'm restore it lots of thing doesn't work properly , like 4ext, like restart....
I think that something is avoiding the command to get the hardware and do what she had to do...
