It wont load up the new rom I just flashed. On HBOOT 1.5. I also flashed the boot.img from the zip file to get the stock kernal, but still no go. Help please.

NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Ag47ent, you have a GSM phone, not CDMA!!!! Please stay in HERE to avoid wrecking your phone forever!
NEVER mix CDMA phones with GSM ROMS or GSM with CDMA!!!!!!!!!! EVER!!!!!!
OP:
Do you do a factory reset when you wipe?
Yes, everything I could possibly do. I kept trying and trying, somehow it finally worked. I swear I wiped like 20 times of the SAME thing. Jesus.
Your sure you are flashing it right? HBoot 1.5 is a bit different than just flashing it in recovery I thought.

you must use fastboot method to flash a new kernel/rom. You just cant do it directly from recovery.
Else you could use flash image GUI to flash kernels then rom from recovery.
So I tried flashing MeanRom the ics version onto the Evo 3d, and it flashed it. But every time it booted into the lock screen it rebooted itself. So I tried going back to the back up I made. But did not work, tried flashing a different rom but did not work also. It will go into recovery which was twrp but switched it to Ext4. So whatever I try it will just go into the HTC logo and get stuck there. I am at a loss, Please Help.
I will keep trying, but I'm running out of ideas
it does have s-on
hboot 1.50.0000
u r s-on so u need to flash the boot.img by the fastboot

I had this exact same issue after trying to flash Myn's ICS ROM with Touch Recovery on 1.5 s-on..How I was finally able to fix it was to delete the 4 ext folder off my SD card. Then I booted into fastboot and pushed TWRP recovery back onto my phone and flashed a gingerbread rom. If you need help pushing the recovery via fastboot, this thread is the answer. Be sure to give JTNiggle some thanks.

Doesn't EXT4 Touch Recovery take care of that for you? That was my impression. Off topic, I know..
evo rebooting
yes 4ext recovery takes care of that and you guys should be using it and make sure you have smart flash enable
I did try flashing a gingerbread rom with twrp but didn't work, which is why I flashed ext4

Well I used the dumlock method, which should have helped me flash the rom without manually going into my computer to flash via cmd right?

Happens to me too!
To flash a new ROM, go to your computer, Command Prompt , type in the direction of your recovery. ex= cd\evo3dTWRP, then type in "fastboot boot recovery.img (or whatever the name of your recovery img is), press enter and your phone should boot into Recovery. Wipe all data, then flash ROM.
BTW: Do you have Smartflash Enabled in 4EXT,?
Well bootloader is working and the recovery is too, I used twrp but noticed it wasn't working so I flashed 4ext. But for some reason it won't boot up roms (of any kind) or even restore my backup. The recoveries will restore or flash the rom. But once I reboot the phone it will just get stuck on the HTC logo. Yeah smartflash is and was enabled.

If you're trying to install an ICS ROM, they tend to bootloop for most who are s-on. I recommend you get s-off.

ok first off here are the details of the phone... evo 3d cdma, hboot 1.50 unlocked s-on via htc method.
now, the recovery i have is 4ext touch recovery. all of a sudden i cant flash roms on the recovery. i flashed some stock and gingerbread roms a few days with no problem and without doing it with adb.. i decided to try out the infected eternity rom just to see how it is. i did a nandroid backup of my previous rom and i flashed the rom through 4ext as well with no problem. then i decided i want to go back to my previous rom i was running which was zr3d 4.1gt. which i flashed via 4ext recovery without adb and without any problems. now when i tried to restore the backup i was stuck at the htc white splashscreen. i figured i did something wrong backing up the rom and tried a fresh install but ended up stuck at the htc splash screen again. this happens with every rom i try to install and every backup i have now and the only rom that will flash and boot is the infected eternity rom. i tried everything i can think of. any ideas and/or advice is apprecited. thanks for your time!
I was in your shoes a two weeks back , except this was happening with cwm recovery .
Go to the question and answer sub forum . And follow the relock and unroot meathod then your will will work and from there you can root again .

Are you using a super wipe before flashing or restoring your nandroid? It sounds like you have some crud leftover from the infected eternity install that is interfering with any new install.
Actually used synergy format zip.. it didn't work. Is there a specific super wipe that I should try?

GSM, S-on, H boot 1.49.0018, I used HTC dev to root it. Revolutionary CWM v4.0.1.4
I unlocked my GSM Evo3D bootloader using the HTCDev.com method.
I had the Cool Rom, Cool ICS v8 running fine. I would flash the boot image via fast boot “fastboot flash boot boot.img”
All was fine, the battery wasn’t lasting long enough and I decided to change ROM to see what else was on offer.
I did full wipe and deleted dalvik cache.
I flashed the mwakious3Drom ROM, from version 7? As stated to do, this booted up fine and I restarted this and used the phone for a few minutes.
I then tried to upgrade this to version 10 using the correct method and that’s when the problem started the phone was stuck on the splash screen when turned on
I tried again to flash the kernel, because searches for threads all say flash the kernel via fast boot and this has just had me stuck on the htc boot logo the phone restarts every time and this continues.
I tried another rom to see if this would fix it and I tried the King Cobra rom. everything seems to flash fine and then I get stuck on the Splash screen of the ROM.
In a last attempt I tried a shipped ROM (getting the rom from the exe when extracted etc) and I have had no luck, it will not flash (maybe for an obvious reason, I even tried the boot image, no luck)
I have had a desire, desire HD and incredible s before this windows mobile phones, I generally do not have problems but was stupid enough to not do a backup so there is nothing to restore! I hardly have had a problem so tried to save on the space (idiot).
I have a Desire HD and I can flash roms fine, I have clearly made a silly mistake somewhere but I cannot get anything at the minute to work as a fix.
If someone could advise that would be great and I would change the title to have an answer to help others in the future.
Thank you I appreciate your help.
*(Another thing I noticed if it's important. When booting into Rev CWM it says at the bottom,
E:Can't mount /cache/recovery/command
E:Can't mount /cache/recovery/log
E:Can't open /cache/recovery/log
etc. Probably because I don't have them?)
You just have to mount USB from CWM and then you can control your phones memory from your computer after the drivers have installed themselves after you plugged your phone into the computer
Just go into mounts and storage in cwm and you will see the option to mount USB.
It can't mount the drives because you deleted them but it should be okay if you just mount USB and drag drop the ROM onto your device.
I also suggest to call claims and let them know you want them to send you a sky rocket instead if they sent you the desire in place of the old captivate. The screen on the desire had issues. Do this asap if you don't want to be stranded without a working phone. It happened to me and I had to pull the battery a few times. I was pretty upset to be quite honest.

You can flash any of the custom ICS roms with the base 3.28.401.1
You can NOT flash any of the custom ICS roms with the base 3.28.707.1
without the new radio and firmware the 707 base will not install and will go into a constant bootloop.
of course you know to use lastest 4ext recovery or "fastboot flash boot boot.img" command on the 401 roms.

Worked great when I tried a ROM with a 401 base. I didn't realise this caused issues.
I wasn't doing a great deal wrong then was I. The only thing is the king cobra ROM should have worked.
Thanks again for the quick reply.

I will most likely go for s-off I'll have a go at the weekend .... But would I be right in thinking I could simply install 4ext touch recovery instead of CWM recovery and end up able to then flash any ROM with any base?

4ext does a great job of flashing any GB Rom including kernel with S-on, but s-on people flashing ICS with it still seem to have problems for some reason. That's why I always suggest s-off.

I normally use the anthrax hybrid kernel to flash ics and it works fine I was s-on til last night. I'm also on cdma so it may not apply but you should research before you flash any rom to make sure something extra isn't required

Hi there,
I unlocked my HTC 3d Evo GSM Uk phone and installed ClockworkMod Recovery v 5.0.2.0 and tried to install a ROM. Now phone is stuck at HTC boot screen. I can go to fast boot but recovery is not possible as phone goes to yellow circle with hat image and nothing happens. Any help Please please please
Download the ruu for your phone. If you have unlocked bootloader you will need to do this a little different but for now.. get the ruu. Boot into hboot then go into fast boot.. connected your phone to your PC and run the ruu.... this will take you back to factory.. it is possible to dissect the rom and customize it all but that is something to worry about another day

What hboot do you have? Are you S-ON? If you have 1.53.xxxx hboot then you can install only roms available for this hboot (mostly ICS based on stock Sense, but sense 4.1 available too). Flashing with 4ext recovery with smartflash enabled is the only option if you are S-ON. To install any other rom you must S-OFF your phone.

So, do you have adb/fastboot drivers installed on your computer? If not install them and reboot your phone on fastboot mode. You need fastboot executables from AndroidSDK (from google developer site) to install the 4ext recovery. Download the recovery here and move it on the sdk folder on platform-tools. While on fastboot open a command prompt on this folder (right click on the folder) execute the command "fastboot flash recovery 4EXT_Recovery_Touch_v1.0.0.6_RC1.img" without the quotes, you can rename the file to whatever you like and change the "4EXT......RC1.img" with the name you choose. After the flash completes you must reboot on recovery using the volume buttons from fastboot. Go on settings and you will find the 4ext smartflash, enable it. Search for roms on development and try them, if you like sense the only supported roms out there is I think Yet Another Sense and mwakious3drom. Otherwise you can choose a senseless ICS based on sense or MIUI rom.

This time I am using YAS v11 and it's very good a week now. I used cm11 and cool ics. I like the mwakious rom for its features but I don't want sense 3.6. If I had to choose between theese I would choose YAS because I like the sense interface and its the only sense 4.1 supported by devs. You can always try yourself some roms and see which suits you. If you have any boot problems, unzip the rom, take the boot.img and flash on fastboot like the recovery, this time with "fastboot flash boot boot.img". For any aosp roms you need to downgrade your hboot and s-off your phone.

To flash other roms from 4.1Jb and up you have to s-off and downgrade your hboot. I really dont know why your camera doesn't work, did you perform clean install (wipe etc.)?? If not try to do it. For stock rom you must run the RUU for your carrier model of phone. You can find on our forums the RUU you need. I' m happy your phone is back to life.

Does the log of recovery contain any errors while installing? Check the md5 of downloaded file. If you're s-off be sure to disable smartflash. Try to re-flash the recovery too.

When I first tried to install a new ROM (CM11 ....) I got an error, which was caused by 4EXT (--> it was still on 1.0.0.5, see error is described here). When I now try to install a new ROM (such as a CM11- or CM10.2-ROM - the files are not corrupted, I tried multiple ones), I do not get an error during the installation process - the phone simply does not go beyond the HTC logo.
Shall I flash 4EXT 1.0.0.6_RC1 again or do you prefer another recovery?

Wipe all partitions except sdcard and mount system, data and boot on mount options. Install again and see if this helps. If not I would suggest flashing a ruu and see if stock rom starts. If you want to change a recovery you will be able to flash only roms until 4.3jb. Try it and if it succesfully boot install the 4ext application and get the recovery from there.
