Ok so I've searched a few different times now and gotten nowhere. Every time I try to flash a rom outside of the stock miui I get boot loops from it or it stays at the splash screen which has been stuck on the ICS one. I've tried wiping everything super wipes w/e you name it. Just won't let me flash any rom's. Should I return to stock and re-root? Any help would be greatly appreciated.
flashing
are you gsm or cdma and do you have s on or s off
cdma sprint with S-off 1.4 H-boot Twrp touch recovery. Tried super wipe and wiping cache and data n system more times than I can count.
Sounds like you've lost your boot.IMG if thats the case you have to xtract it from the zip file on your pc or laptop and when your done xtracting open up the folder and scroll down and you will see your boot.IMG now copy and past into the same folder that you have fastboot and adb in next boot the device into bootloader now connect your USB cable and next press power you should now be in fastboot USB next on your pc or laptop open cmd and typ cd\and what ever you use to get your fastboot program working for example I would typ cd\rootevo3dnew and my fastboot cmd is active and now I typ fastboot flash boot boot.IMG now press enter this should get your EVO to boot let me know how it works out

So just to not screw this up take whatever ROM I want to flash extract the boot.img, flash it through fastboot adb comands then that should fix it? I didn't think boot.img's could hold up the entire rom. I'll try that. n see what happens.
Yes I have s off

One thing you forgot it only works for the Rom you've already flashed so what ever Rom you've flashed you need that boot.IMG from that Rom you've flashed

Yes it can and will the boot.IMG is the key to booting and then the kernal take's over from there

I must be typing the fastboot commands wrong or something. Feeling pretty stupid heh.. again I appreciate the help.
may have fixed it using root explorer n just copied the boot animation to the spot in system media. Thanks a million for the help dude!

Ok so i just bought a evo 3d off Craigslist and it was flashed to cricket and had revolutionary recovery with a custom rom installed and hboot says unlocked and im running hboot 1.5 and s-on... i messed up and flashed a stock rom and didnt bacup the previous rom so now im without a rom and cant get any to bootup they flash and then start bootlooping and ive tried multiple ruus and none give me the option to update... please help
If you are having issues with your current ROM. You could always run the ROM Upgrade Utility (RUU) found in the link below.
http://bit.ly/u3pMEN
Make sure to download the correct file.
(RUU_Shooter_S_Sprint_WWE_2.17.651.5_Radio_1.06.00 .1216)
After it has finished downloading. Re-lock your phone.
Then run the RUU.exe
This will take you back to the Stock HTC 2.17.651.5 ROM.
DO NOT DISCONNECT YOUR DEVICE DURING THE PROCESS. IT COULD BRICK YOUR DEVICE.
Remember this will delete all your current data/apps so use TWRP on the android market to back up all your downloaded content. Only if your going to unlock you device again because you need to root your phone to use TWRP.
do i have to have android sdk installed?
You should.
I would recommend downloading the rootevo3dnew.zip file and place it on C:\ Drive.
(You can download the file from here)
http://bit.ly/HCPFRW
Dont forget to enter Fastboot USB first.
Now type these commands on cmd.
cd c:\rootevo3dnew
then type.
fastboot oem lock
Your device should reboot.
Dont let it reboot
Wait about 10 seconds than take off the battery.
Enter hboot once again by pressing Vol down then power button.
Go into Fastboot USB and then run the RUU.
ive tried that it never reconizes the rootevo3dnew.. thats why i was wondering if i needed androidsdk installed
1.Did you unzip the file?
2.Is the rootevo3dnew folder placed in C:\?
does the hole folder need to be in c? cuz ive tried it in the zip file and unzipped to c drive and both no go

Yes. put the rootevo3d.zip file in C:\ then unzip it.
Once thats done try the commands i gave you.
Post back with your error(if you end up getting one)
it worked that time but just says waiting on device
Is your device in Fastboot USB?
yea its red and says fastboot usb
Try this. Reboot your phone and turn debugging on.
Take out the battery and go back to Fastboot USB
Also run the HTCDriver3.0.0.007.exe file in the rootevo3dnew folder if you have windows.
thank a lot man my problem was i didnt have the drivers installed...
No problem. Pm if your having any other issues
@all :
forgot me if this one is a stupid question..
I've a bootloop Evo 3D CDMA,,
can't boot into system and recovery..
and I've done :
- Run RUU.zip + RUU.exe
- Relock + Run RUU.zip + RUU.exe
- Unlock + flash recovery+boot+ramdisk image
- use downgrade method+upgrade again
- and the other things that i've found in this lovely forum..
and i none of that trick solve my problem..
any advice??
What happens when you try to run the RUU ?

First off, punctuation is your friend. It helps us to understand your gibberish.
Second, you need to provide more info. How did you root? Are you s-off? What recovery are you using? Are you properly wiping before flashing?

If u r hboot 1.50 / HTC Unlocked, have a look at the guide in my signature. Sounds like the kernel/boot img isn't being flashed properly.
Sent from my PG86100 using Tapatalk
So, my questions is: can I use flash image GUI to flash this rom with out any problems? I'm on HBoot 1.5 S On and can I flash the boot img also using Flash Image GUI? appreciate you're feed back thank you in advance.
Yes you can, but it would be easier to just use 4ext recovery which has smartflash. The recovery still flashes the kernel even though you are s-on. I'm currently using it. It's worth the money

My phone is already rooted I'm running 1.5 HBOOt Security On Twrp 1.0.3 but hoping when I get this boot img to work for me from cmd promt will get me going again. it's getting annoying that the commands are not working for me. I also been following Max from Htcevohacks and watching what he does and going on youtube to learn about command prompt etc has been a learning experience which, I like. I just don't like the fact its not working for me atm.

So, I rooted my phone last night and ever since I've been stuck in bootloop. I loaded one rom and it was in bootloop all night until the phone died. I charged the phone up, wiped it and tried another, stuck in bootloop for hours with nothing working. Now, the bigger problem is, I - being an idiot - forgot to do a nandroid backup so there is nothing to restore too, yet when I set it to factory settings it's once again stuck in bootloop.
All my phone now displays is the green HTC logo on the white background, until the phone battery dies.
So... how screwed am I?
EDIT: CDMA, S-on, 1.50, I used HTC dev to root it.
Did you root with HTC dev. You need to flash the boot.IMG using fastboot.

CDMA, S-on, 1.50, I used HTC dev to root it. CM 9 Nightly.
Do what I said. Boot your phone into the boot loader. Select fastboot. Stick the boot.IMG from the Rom you used into the folder on the pc that you used with htcdev.
Connect your device.
Open up command prompt. Navigate to the folder in command prompt where you put the boot.IMG
Type fastboot flash boot boot.IMG
If it works it will say so restart your phone and enjoy.

If you hadn't said anything I probably would have been running around in circles for the rest of the day. I just did and I'm waiting for it to restart right now. Hopefully it works.
Hopefully it will work. If you flash anymore roms you have to do the same flash boot.img using fastboot since you unlocked with HTC dev.

Meaning I can just nandroid backup this rom? Or do I have to reflash it then flash the new ones over it?
If you want to flash a new rom do a nandroid backup first and then wipe everything. But everytime you flash a new Rom you have to flash the boot.IMG seperatley that was supplied with the Rom if that makes sense. This also applied when doing a recovery.

Unless the boot.IMG is automatically with each rom that does not make sense. However, if that means (which I pretty sure it does, I just need that extra clear clarification) that a new boot.IMG is supposed to be supplied with every single new ROM then that would explain why my phone is still in bootloop. No changes since last time I was on, about an hour ago I took the battery out and restarted it.
So it's still in bootloop whenever I try anything.
Help as well...
Stuck in the same problem. Hboot 1.50, S-on, and I'm trying to load Evergreen's CM7 port. I'm also using CWM 4.x (can't remember number, just the non touch version). Whenever I try to start my phone all I get is the white HTC screen with the little vibrate, then the black screen, and then the HTC screen once again and so on. I've tried flashing the boot from the file and then flashing the ROM with and without the boot.img in the .zip file. Help me. Please.
You need to flash the rom first then restart your phone load in to fastboot and flash the boot.img using fastboot. Search the forums there should be a more detailed way on how to do this. But its pretty much the same instructions I gave in previous post.

If that last reply was meant me, I've already tried that. Doesn't change anything at all.
Ah ok you mentioned you flashed the boot.img first that's all
Also try formatting your sd card or use a spare one and format that and then flashing the Rom and boot.IMG. I had to do that with my desire s.

You can boot into recovery without a computer. Just make sure Fast Boot is turned off in settings. Then boot into boot loader (you hold either volume down or volume up when turning your phone on)
Or if you have harmonia installed you can just hold power down and then choose restart and then recovery.

So long as fastboot is unchecked in settings then I can boot into TWRP? If so please give step by step directions.
