I was cruising around the development forums today, curious if any ICS ROMs had been updated and were worth using.
I found this: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1635824
Reading the posts of success in the thread and finding my self wanting to flash this more and more, i finally gave in and flashed. I went through the FlashGUI app to get the kernel working, then i recovery'd to flash the .zip. Now im stuck in a boot loop, it goes from the "htc" screen to "android", shows a black screen and the status bar at the top, then reboots again. The reboot is fast like a hot boot. What should I do to fix this? Thank you, I'm new to posting but i've been looking around here for awhile
Also, if it mattered, i have team win recovery and s-off Hboot 1.5 using the Htc Unlocker. Thank you!!
EDIT: I'm S-ON, not S-OFF. My mistake!
I have s-off and came from 2.17 firmware. All I did was wipe and flash the rom. Working just Fine. Uf ur s-off I would just re flash a stock firmware, factory reset and flash rom again
Edit read your edit......sorry

Ok I would reflash the Rom you was using before and the kernel oh you need to super wipe also and since your s off you don't need to use the g u i app thats for the ones that are not s off you can flash just like everyone else that's has s off meaning just use your custom recovery and make sure to wipe ceche and wipe delvik ceche and wipe battery stats format system and format data and wipe boot IMG and format all partitions except sd card when this is done press back and back again and you should see your download folder now you can flash your Rom and if you want you can flash a different kernel besides the one that can with you Rom I hope this helps

And did you try reflashing the kernel through the g u i app
sent from my EVO 3D x515m s off using xda premium
and did you back up before hand? u need always to have a good backup any time u are flashing. i keep the last two on my sd card. that way if one gives me a problem which has happened like md5 not matching i have a second one to try

I have clockworks recovery which I installed when rooting and s-off.
But in clockworks recovery it keeps showing it needs installing. When i do, it freezes and I have to pull the battery.
Boot manger let's me install leedriod ROM and high rom on slot 1, but when i try to boot slot 1 ROM. It still boots phone ROM.
Am sure clockworks recovery problem is what's not letting me.
Any thoughts of what I can try to get both working right , so I can be testing and running different ROM?
Any one solved this one?

ROMManager doesn't work properly with the GSM version of the EVO 3D, so you'll have to live without it until they fix it.

I don't think this is in the right section but beside that. Rom Manager does as a matter of fact as if today handle the GSM version properly go flash version 5.x from rom manager. Just make sure you clean the download cache
Rom Manager fixed and it works with Evo 3D GSM now... just update
Cheers for that, been trying for almost a week now.

That means i can install the new 5. ... Version of cwm over the one from revolutionary?
Edit: Are there not any problems when i install cwm over revolutioonary?? Or is that problem solved with the newest version of cwm??

Moving to Q&A
No problems here at my HTC EVO 3D X515m GSM!
I installed "recovery-clockwork-5.0.1.9-shooteru.img" over "cwm-4.0.1.4-shooteru.img" manually via fastboot and via ROM Manager!
Seems there is only a navigation problem or so at new
"recovery-clockwork-5.0.1.9-shooteru.img" from clockwork!
I can´t choose a option at the new recovery,only if I enable the
"back menu button" at the recovery menu.
Every time I boot into recovery I`m at the first option (reboot system now)
Then there I have to press volume up,volume down and again volume up.
Then the "back menu button" is enabled and I can choose all the options
which are available at the recovery!
Please somebody help me. I installed bad kernel, and ROMManager the ends the Clockworks Recovery. Does'nt start the Rom, and I cannot restore it. How it is possible to make the Clockworks Recovery free, and to restore the Rom?
ROMManager allows nothing in the Clockworks Recovery to make.
Thanks.

after installing cwm 5.x, did any of you experience battery charging problems when running your battery down to 0%? the phone doesnt want to charge when it is off. a battery pull will not fix the issue.

On my GSM 5.0.2.0 CWM if i go to 0% battery and phone shuts off I cant charge. So I pull battery for a half hour, put it back in and boot into recovery and charge for 10 minutes,then power off and then reboot. It has worked twice, hopefully an update will come sometime.

Hey man as far as Gsm is concerned, I'm not to familiar with it... But with the Cdma Evo3D there's a P86IMG.zip for the Radio and Another one for what's called RPM. The RPM I guess Fixes issues that come with a Frozen All Black screen. I used Both and Haven't had a problem since, see if there's maybe a version for Gsm, it Works!
about a week ago i flashed The Express Rom on my 3D. It's a cool rom, but not for me, so i attempted to flash back to Viper rom, which had run just fine before. upon booting after ref lashing viper, everything was going fine up until it was time for the lockscreen to load. the background would come on the screen, but nothing else. after a few seconds the phone reboots itself and the process starts all over. this happens with any other rom i try to install. any one had a similar issue??
You need to give us more information. What recovery are you using? Did you make a nandroid backup? Are you fully wiping before flashing?
I've used cwm and TWRP and I'm on EXT4 now, none of which make a difference. no nondroid back up. and yes I'm doing a full wipe every time.
what hboot are you on? 1.5? 1.4?
Have you tried using viper from super wipe?
im hboot 1.5... I'm on a mac so i can't do the downgrade. I've never tried superwip, where can i get that?
Okay, do you have the app flash image gui? thats what I used when on 1.5. Pick the rom ya wanna flash using that app, let it load the kernel, flash and reboot to recovery. When using 4EXT you should factory reset and wipe cache+dalvik, then flash the rom of your choice, wipe cache and dalvik, power down, then power back up. Hopefully ya should be in the clear...
cool ill try it now, usually i flash the kernel after flashing the rom, ill try that out though
The super wipe is in the viper from thread.
Yeah, you normally flash after the ROM if you are wanting to change it. But with hboot 1.5 you cannot flash a kernel without adb and a computer or the flash image gui app.

Just to add....
You should be able to downgrade Hboot 1.50 on a mac from what I've seen in Closeone's Downgrade Tool thread. He recently added directions for burning the .ISO to a cd on mac.
Once bricked & booted to the cd the rest should work. There is even an option in the cd to test the connection to the phone from the cd before bricking it.

Had similar problems, I what worked for was to go back to stock, but full swipe than before you flash again to another rom, do another full swipe and that should work, in my case it did. hope this works for ya
So I unlocked the bootloader using the Htc dev unlock method I have hboot1.5 then flashed clockwork mod recovery and flashed the newt one s rc3 rom and the boot image all I get is bootloops over and over lock screen comes up with battery icon and everything but the lock ring and then reboots I tried to restore a nandroid if my stock rom all it does is go to the white screen with the green Htc letters and then it goes black and nothing, I can get into recovery but not fast boot USB I even tried flashing other Roms and the rooted stock Rom but to no avail it doesn't work. I really don't know what to do to get it back to normal I would be very gratefully if any of you could help me with this
Did you originally flash through fastboot?
If you didn't, and now can't get fastboot to work, your best option is to flash whatever ROM you were originally coming from (sounds like stock) and flash that.
I know you said you tried it, but that really is your best bet. I'd try it again, wiping data a few times and doing a reset.

I tried to flash back my nandroid of my stock rooted rom 7 times wiped dalvick everything
I flashes by holding volume down and power till fast boot screen came up then selected recovery and flashed through revolutionary like I do on my og evo
Okay.
If you don't boot the recovery through fastboot, the kernel won't stick. So if you were just flashing through recovery without booting the recovery through fastboot, you probably still are running a stock GB kernel.
I would download a stock Rom and flash that. Do a factory data reset before flashing the Rom and wipe cache. That should work, assuming that you are still running a stock kernel. From the way you've explained things I would think you are.

Unlocking the phone on hboot 1.5 via HTC, leaves you with S-ON. You can still flash any ROM you want, but it is a little bit different than OGEvo. You can't just flash through recovery, especially if you're switching from GB to ICS. This may also be while your nandroid failed... Although I'm not sure because I've never had to run a nandroid and I've never created one outside of fastboot.
So, I would try...
Downloading a stock Rom.
Wipe data/Factory Reset.
Flash Rom (like you've been trying to)
That should work.
Then I'd check out how to properly flash a ROM in the stickies, there are a couple different methods, but you can't do it on your 3D like you did on your OG unless you get S-OFF.

I'm not a noob, I've been flashing for years but I can't seem to get any Roms I flash to boot after. I just get stuck at the disclaimer boot screen. It stays there, no boot up.
Things I've tried, waiting of course for 10+ mins. Moving the Rom zips to internal sd then flashing. And redownloading the roms and trying again. Roms I've tried are, Meanrom and stock w Sony bravia engine.
Really sucks I can't figure out why I can't boot any new Rom flashes. Any help would be greatly appreciated

I'm having this exact issue. Rooted and flashed a couple of ROMs. Backed one up and now I can't boot into any new ROMs, even stock ROMs. They flash fine in recovery but do not pass the HTC disclaimer screen.
Did you by chance select Factory Reset from bootloader with TWRP installed? When I do that it reboots into recovery and cannot mount internal storage. When I try to mount internal storage to my PC through USB it says SD is corrupt and I must format. I have a suspicion that has something to do with not being able to boot new ROMs.
Have you tried to RUU? I've tried just to see if I can get my phone to boot into anything, but I get an error updating signature. Signarure (sic) Error 132.
Something I haven't tried yet would be to flash a ROM and make a nandroid before first boot, then try restoring it to see if it boots. Might be crazy enough to work.
Please post if you manage to solve this annoying soft brick!

Well if you are using 4ext recovery (which i highly recommend, best recovery ever made)then there is an option that asks if you are are s-on and you click yes because you are s-on which then allows the recovery to flash any kernel (given its compatible of course) as if you were s-off. That should work, if for some odd reason (for me 4ext never failed even when i was s-on while flashing kernels) it doesnt work then i would suggest attempt to s-off your device via wire trick but be sure to read up thoroughly before you attempt that as some people have bricked their device doing so.
Edit: also i would suggest wipe all partitions except sd card then flash rom and then flash kernel right after to avoid issues.
Could I try to flash a kernel first before flashing. I tried looking for a kernel all day and can't seem to find 1. I used the mobility ota Kernel which does not seem to work.

Hmm I haven't heard of that kernel before and there aren't many to choose from on this device. First off do you have the ICS ruu? If so just flash faux's kernel with any of theroms that are based off of sense 3.6. Here is the link that is also under the development section of the forums http://faux.androidro.ms/ruby-faux123-kernel-v017.zip for the ICS version ROMs (most of them are) I would suggest speedrom 7.5 as I found it pretty decent for a sense based rom. But you have to flash the ROM first then the kernel but if I recall 4ext recovery with the feature of s-off automatically flashes the kernel that is packaged with the rom it just ends up having to boot twice. So first just flash one of the new sense 3.6 ROMs via 4ext recovery - settings-recovery-check smartflash on and then flash the ROM kernel should automatically flash
Edit: stumbled across this in faux kernel thread might help if 4ext still doesn't work
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1359951&page=181
I also had the wifi error problem for some reason when I tried to flash Speedrom 6.5 and 7.0 coming from Supersaiyan 3. Kinda fixed itself after installing Speedrom 7.5/7.6 so maybe try these two steps and it might work for you:
1 ) Of course make a backup
2) When flashing a new or old rom I always Wipe/Factory Reset from 4ext and then just clear dalvik cache, then install whatever rom you like. Never had any probs with this method such as the wifi error you're encountering. Just never got bt error.... weird...
Btw what rom are you currently on?

Bro its most likely a kernel issue you are facing WiFi issues usually are due to the incorrect kernel flashed or the kernel not flashed at all with the ROM however I would suggest that you flash the stock ruu file (however you will lose both root and recovery but those are easy to reinstall using hasoons tool or various other methods) I say this because this way you will know for sure if you have a hardware or software problem for sure. WiFi should work with stock ruu from your carrier (make sure to download your carrier specific ruu).if you feel you can do s-off via wire trick and then super cid your amaze you will be able to flash any and every ROM for the amaze. I have a suspicion that the ROMs that are out are based off of T-Mobile ruu and people with mobilicity have their amaze super cid to work with any carrier.however did you try flashing cm10 via 4ext maybe since that has an aosp kernel and if flashed with smart flash option in 4ext it may work.

Yea it could be the kernel because the thing you said about the 4ext recovery telling you that its loading the saved boot.img is what I always get and whenever i do get it, the rom always works perfectly. Also which version of speedrom did u try because I had the problem when I was using both 6.5 and 7.0. Try flashing the Supersaiyan 3 rom and then choose faux kernel from the AROMA INSTALLER. Then wipe as I told you in the posts before and then flash speedrom. It worked like that for me. Sorry if you still dont have luck!

Well OK I really want this to work for you after you mentioned the boot.IMG issue it may be that you need to flash an insecure boot image first. Here is the link http://forum.xda-developers.com/attachment.php?attachmentid=1223086&d=1343307912 for s-on people this usually needs to be flashed via fastboot and not recovery. However since 4ext recovery seems to be an exception to almost every rule regarding recoveries it may be able to flash it. If not just flash via fastboot I posted the forum topic link that this issue has been discussed on in one of my previous posts in this thread. I'm positive this is your problem now.

Read through the issue on this page http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1359951&page=181 seems like this is exactly the issue you are facing. I suggest after flashing which ever ROM flash fauxs kernel it's the best for the amaze anyway hope you get this to work I have exhausted the last bit of knowledge I have regarding this issue. Hence I s-off my device to avoid stupid issues such as these once and for all.
