Hello,
I have an unlocked EVO 3D with HBOOT 1.5 S-on.
I flashed the phone and replaced InfectedRom with Warm Two Point Three. After installing new rom and reseting, phone is now stuck on HTC startup screen.
Please help!!! I appreciate and welcome all feedback. Thank you

Did you wipe all the way? Also what is your software 2.17 or 2.08 ? Did you fastboot boot recovery.img when you flashed?

You need to flash boot.img/kernel using fastboot or Flash image GUI or else you will face issues if the ROM uses kernel other than your current one.
This is the limitation of HTC unlock method (S-ON)

I flashed the boot.img using fastboot as you suggested. Now the phone is stuck in an endless loop between powering off and the HTC startup logo.
It appears that I am getting closer to fixing the problem but I am still stuck. Can you help further please?
Thanks again!

Thanks for your reply.
I did wipe all the way. How do I tell whether I have 2.08 or 2.17. if the phone not able to start up?
I flashed boot.img using fastboot. I just realized that the bootloader when doing and Hboot tries to load the image indicates no image or wrong image.
I am either missing a step or did something wrong.
Please help!
did you make a backup of Infected before you flashed?
When you say you installed Warm did you install and actually get it fully booted and set up your home screens and all that and it only stuck on the first reboot after? or was it right after you flashed warm?
Really if you made a backup of infected or what you were running before you should be able to restore that via recovery then boot up normal. Then use FlashImageGUI to flash the kernel needed for Warm, then reboot into recovery mode and flash the other portion of the Rom from the custom recovery.
Unfortunately, I did not back up Infected or other previous roms. I didn't know that I should, I only backed up my apps using Titanium. I now know better.
Still stuck in loop mode. I have been searching the forums for some possible solutions but so far nothing has worked.
I am up the creek without a paddle...
kongfooey said:
I used Titanium Backup to back up apps etc. is that the same as backing up the rom (Infected)?
If I had the backup how do I recover using recovery? I have been reading other posts in the forum and have tried some of the suggestions. I wiped the data and cache.

na TiBackup isn't the same as backing up the Rom itself.
Full backups are done from within the custom recovery...
the boot.img you pushed via fastboot earlier. where did you get it from?
Silly me... I realized that Titanium backup was not the correct backup after I posted.
I took the image from the Warm zip file. I initially thought the problem was fixed until I realized that the phone is in an endless loop...
Still looping

well to be honest I would just go back and start form scratch at this point since pushing the kernel via fastboot somehow didn't take for you nor did clearing cache's after the fact.
after pushing the kernel via fastboot, have you tried doing that again, and then going into recovery and flashing the rom again? If that doesn't work you might as well just go back to stock and push stock kernel flash stock rooted OTA, boot up, and use FlashImageGUI to push the Warm kernel then go back to flashing the Warm rom in recovery...
really before pushing the stock kernel if you wanna test to see if your initial push of Warm kernel even took fully just fully wipe data and try flashing infected again in recovery. If it boots fine then you know your fastboot push didn't take before to begin with...
Edit:
before i even really get more into this. does Warm even use another kernel beside the stock one? If they dont then all of this could of resulted from a bad download of the rom itself being flashed...
Sgt. Slaughter, I salute you...
I played around with your suggestions. Got it working... I flashed a different boot.img and it solved the problem. I may have gotten a bad Warm rom...
Thanks again!!!
Note: if you took/installed the latest update (2.17.651.5) you won't be able to use roms based off earlier firmware/kernels (ie 2.08.651.2 or 651.3) b/c of kernel differences (I think I've read that somewhere).
I believe Warmtwopointthree and Infected are not using the latest base/kernel.
Edit: saw you posted right before me. So what kernel/boot.img did you use?

Nice good to hear. Fact you had your phone even semi-booting makes solving anything wrong with it usually trial and error and ends up not being so bad to fix...
I used boot.img from OTXE Titan HD ODEXed New Beats!
I need to educate myself a bit more about the differences between kernel and .imgs etc...
Thanks for your response. I greatly appreciate!!
I'm having a very similar issue, I rooted my Evo using Revolutionary and installed CW Recovery and everything was fine so I tried installing ZR3D and part way through the install, my phone turned off and now it wont get past the HTC boot screen. I went into CW Recovery but nothing is working, no matter what option I choose [even Turn off phone or reboot] it gives me the CW logo but nothing happens.
I have HBOOT 1.49.1107 with S-Off
Try reflashing your recovery threw hboot.

Can you boot into Fast boot? If so, try connecting your phone to a computer and flashing a recovery through there. Then try to install the ROM.

ok so i was running leedroid 5.4 with leedroids kernel, on my evo 3d GSM with hboot .0011 Unlocked and S-ON.....things were fine untill i tried to flash some other roms like shooterbeats and infected eternity rom, i was not able to get past the boot logo on both of those roms so i thought maybe it has something to do with my s-on....so i decided to make it s-off....after reading s_superman's thread for about 2 hours on how to downgrade hboot to .007 or 8 and unlock using revolutionary....i gave it a go, and did so sucessfully NOW MY HBOOT IS .007 with S-OFF using revolutionary and CWM but i am not able to FLASH ANY ROMz ON some roms my phone hangs on BOOT logo, and on some roms it restarts after LOGO appears........its really frustrating after so much hard work ,,,what i get in return is this...feel like throwin it outta window....ANY HELP WILL BE MUCH APPRECIATED ON HOW TO RESOLVE THIS issue?
now in recovery it shows "revolutionary HBOOT 1.49.1107 S-OFF RL"
well fortunately for you, sir, all is not lost....
flash twrp recovery 1.1.1.... just to get a start.
i have never had one single issue with twrp 1.1.1. if you are s-off, you can now flash kernels through recovery.
quick recap, flash twrp 1.1.1, reflash ROM, and kernel. both of which from recovery. if you still have booting issues, flash the kernel through adb.
do that, then come back and we'll go from there.

I'm having a problem with my girlfriend's Evo 3D. I did the HTCdev unlock method and then used adb to put superuser and team win recovery.img on it. I used the phone on its stock ROM for a day. Next I used ROM manager to flash clockwork recovery. This morning I decided to go with the Team Win recovery. I tried to flash a sense 4.0 ROM and now I'm stuck on the white HTC screen. Can someone tell me what to do?

Im guessing the phone is CDMA S-ON ( next time incude this info when asking question makes it easier for people to help you ) and with all sense 4.0 roms has is known issues about S-ON devices not booting or going into boot loops.
I would install a working rom then instal 4ext recovery with smartflash on.
This could fix your issue.
( Even if your phone is GSM and S-ON this should also fix your issue so make sure to click on the right link below.)
CDMA: 4EXT Recovery Touch
GSM: 4EXT Recovery Touch
I just wanna add one more thing, don't try to flash via rom manager, it's gonna ****ed up your phone..

I've been trying to root my HTC Evo 4G LTE phone and I've run into some problems. I was able to root the phone with no problem, however I wasn't able to get S-OFF due to my HBOOT version. I flashed CWM 10 rom so that I could get Jelly Bean on my phone but every time I booted my phone up, it would just hang on the boot logo.
I researched a little more and I found out that I didn't have the right kernel to run that Rom. I read that I was suppose to Flash the boot.img from the Rom I wanted to install using the Flash Image GUI app. I did so, and when my phone rebooted, it goes straight to the Bootloader / Fastboot screen automatically. I can not get it to load the Rom I flashed.
Can anyone help me or lead me in the direction to get the rom to load correctly?
Thanks

I had the same problem when I first Jumped ship from Sense. Since you have S-ON you need to also flash the kernel of any aosp rom. So first things first do you have the android development tools installed on your computer?

I would RUU back to stock, reroot, and s-off while you're at it. Bootloader zip won't work if you're s-on.

Don't need to boot for RUU. Put your phone in bootloader then plug it into your pc. Should change to fastboot usb then just run the exe file. If that doesn't work you may be looking at a replacement.
