so, m not new to this flashing n etc but wont consider myself as educated about rooting n stuff as most of you guys so i ask you for help!
i was s-off through j.bear method, rooted!,so flashed the ruu from Football weeks ago, ran fine, flashed reecovery gained root. everything was fine untill i decided to go on the Speed Rom 3.1.0 , i followed the instructions as always (fyi, i flashed countless roms on my mytouch 4g) i dont know where i went wrong but now
THE PROBLEM:
the problem now i have is the phone gets stuck on the HTC logo, boot screen or if i flash the official ics tmo ruu then it gets stuck on the tmo android logo. :/, it does not go any further than that.
i can access bootloader, recovery too. but after trying to flash different roms and updates, and also i tried to install the tmo stock ruu by relocking the bootloader again and then flashing it through bootloader but it does not help.
i m dyinggg here trying to fix it, may be its just a stupid mistake from me that i dont know you guys are the doctors of this stuff so i m hopefull ( a little)
any help will be greatly appreciated. thanks alot.
EDIT: I have also tried flashing roms through recovery
and bootloader too.
also tried wiping , factory settings,formating, dalvik ,cache, battery stats etc
flashed 4ext recovery , sometimes the recovery gives the error message that it CANT ACCESS INTERNAL STORAGE, i wonder why is that.
Edit 2:
fyi: right now i am RELOCKED ,S-OFF , HBOOT 1.93.0002

Check instructions from post above your last post
Your bootloader should read something like ENG 1.90.2005 LOCKED

Its not that it can't flash it, but I've had it happen to me a couple of times, if I flashed a rom and didn't check the md5 and the kernel was messed up, it would flash, then get stuck on the HTC splash screen. Then flashing the kernel through easy kernel flasher it would load up the rom I was on.
I'm just giving another option to try, but I think if there's an issue with a kernel for whatever reason the next install there will be an issue with the kernel flash. Its happened to me a couple of times, and 4ext couldn't bail me out, but the kernel flasher did every time.

I have the same prob. . I've tried everything over the last week. Stock ruu, ice leak, every possible rom, eng hboot, wiping everything, even did a format on the internal sd through windows, Linux, cwm and nothing.. 4ext can't mount internal_SD and won't let me flash from SD card as won't mount either.. cwm recovery see's the internal, it works as I put data on it, disk checked it for errors and none.. I have not tried the kernal flash tool but did try through fast boot and hansoon's toolkit, does it flash it any different?? I will try later but I Def have the same problem.. and on ice leak it goes past the HTC screen till the T-Mobile splash.
Hello everyone
I am new to this forum, well I have been downloading roms for about 6 months but I registered today, anyhow I took my evo 3d to the sprint repair center the other day because my lcd went out, that's what the sprint employee had told me anyway and so two days later I received a replacement evo 3d, it was hboot 1.5 obviously and I took it home and installed the 2.17.651.5 RUU because sprint puts a version of the 2.17.651.5 ruu on their evo 3d's that does not communicate well during the unlock process of HTCdev.com, so here is my problem, after flashing the ruu I unlocked my bootloader via the htcdev unlock method, and began to flash my first custom rom, and I have run into the same problem over and over, I would boot into clockwordmod recovery via fastboot and then flash the rom after performing a super-wipe and every single time I would get a boot loop, no matter which rom I used, it would boot up and get to the setup screen and boot loop constant boot loop, every single rom I tried, I have not experienced this before when flashing roms, I then looked at a few threads of the roms I tried to flash and one recommended that I extract the boot.img from the zip and flash it via fastboot, some people say that you are required to do that with hboot 1.5 but in the past when I used my old evo 3d I never had to do that and it was hboot 1.5 s-on, please if someone has an answer I would gladly appreciate it, thanks in advance

I didn't really believe that all evo 3d's act differently until I got my replacement. Now I know that their not all the same, even when they have the same hardware version. I'm sure you can see that too. You just have to figure out what works for that phone. I think a sure fire way to get a good install when you have s-on is to use fastboot to boot to recovery. Have you tried that yet? It doesn't sound like you've got a normal bootloop and I haven't encountered your issue before but fastbooting to recovery is worth a try. I'm sure you've heard this a lot but I'm gonna suggest it anyway, get s-off, you won't regret it.
Also, does the phone reboot like that after you run an ruu?

What wikdNoob said. Some phones do fine flashing ICS ROMs with S-on, but from my reading of the forums, many phones bootloop when flashing ICS ROMs with S-on. Since you are 1.5 S-on, you should do the wire trick to get S-off.
I've read so many times how people use the same procedures to flash the same ROM with the same radios, hboot, etc where one gets bootloops and the other does not. Each phone is different.

Hello every one,
I dont mean to clutter up the forum with the same question but, believe me or not i did read through tones of post.. i just got more confused maybe because i am a "total noob." In any event, let me explain my issue. i am still trying to get my head around "ROM" "Kernal" "img" etc so please bare with me.
So, i had my evo rooted the very first time about 6 months ago with CWM Revolutionary and the installed ROM was SU-3.0 or something. Than Because of a physical problem i had to replace the phone and i tried rooting again, this time around i ended up installing su-2.1 or something but it had all kind of problems it kept restarting and wat not so i decided to change it to ICS from htcevohacks. this is when it rebooted and got stuck. i tried bunch of things but since i dont know wat am i doing its not helping.. my phone has Hboot 1.50 Unlock with revolutionary on it.. thats all i know about "For sure." Everything else i am confused and Uncertain about..
So far i have tried installing the same su files but they keep abording.
From Wiki. i have tried the recovery thing.. downloading the zip files PG86IMG-twrp-shooter-1.1.1.zip PG86IMG-twrp-shooter-1.0.3.zip rename them Started in recovery and it would say failed because the orignal file is older or something like that..
i know i shouldnt have mess with this since i didnt know wat i was doing but now that i am in a mess i need help.. and if anyone can help me i wold appreciate it.. i really need.. so please.
thanks,
Dennis
Are you s-on or s-off? Also, have you tried to flash 4ext recovery.

Sorry forgot to mention .. its S- On iwill check out the link thanks appreciate the reply.
4ext recovery is definetely the choice for s-on users like yourself. The problem you are having is that if you just flashing roms straight from recovery and rebooting its not going to work. The reason for that is because other than 4ext recovery, most recoveries cannot flash the kernel to the boot partition while on S-on. That's where 4ext recovery comes in. It will let you flash kernels through smart flash thats incorporated in the recovery.
Heres the Thing.. i tried looking up the link posted above about 4ext but i am fairly confused about it... could you please tell me about what should or could i do at this point?? it appears as if, 4ext is something you download and install from "market" However my phone is not turning on at all. Meaning it doesnt go pass the White HTC screen.
How exactly do i install the 4ext.. or is there a "procedure list" or a "write" i can follow.. sorry for the trouble.. i am just Overwhelmed by all the information.
Bottom line here is that.. i have a "rooted phone" S-on "unlocked" with Revolutionary.
and when i try to load any ROM files its not working (get aborded") if not it would load successfully and then when it reboots its stuck on the whit screen.
if i am missing or leaving out information please let me know if not . wat can i do to start this from scratch..
ALSO, i read some posts about dealing with "bricked" phones but it looks like i woud need a Linx operation system which i dont have.
I'm a noob myself, but I've gotten into a similar situation myself where I was rooted and took an update over the air to the new ics Rom, and also tried flashing Roms from apps, and when my phone rebooted, it didn't go past the HTC screen, I was told I would have to load a new stock ruu. Which basicaly means you have to wipe the phone and install the stock rom from new.

hi im a relative newbie at this the only 2 android phones ive rooted and stuck new roms on are the defy and the hero and they both werent as complex as the evo
well yesterday i unlocked the bootloader via htcdev then i rooted the phone, i then attempted to stick a new rom on it (coolexes) by extracting the boot img and then sticking the whole rom on my sd card and running it in recovery.
when i started the phone up it was stuck in a boot loop, i got it to recovery then attempted to reflash the backup i made earlier but i must have done something wrong as it still wont do anything.
since then ive been scouting the web for help, ive tried upgrading the radio with no joy, ive then tried sticking on a stock rom i found through this site and unfortunatly it said that it couldnt be installed (both exactly the same model rom)
information on my phone screen is as follows
SHOOTER_U PVT SHIP S-ON RL
HBOOT-1.53,0007
eMMC-BOOT
May 22 2012,01:06:07
it doesnt say anything else.
thanks in advance for your help
First
Wrong section. Questions goes in q&a obviously
Second
You have 2 options
1. S-off your phone. Don't ask me how, its in GSM section. Than flash rom
2. Pull boot.img from rom you flashed and flash it manually via fastboot. (Since your hboot is 1.53 there is a good chance that this will not work so I suggest you s-off your hboot)

sorry about the wrong section, I realised as soon as i posted it
cheers for the advice ill look in to s-off
managed to get s-off now but unfortunatly i still get a boot loop now it includes a juopunutbear screen too, this is driving me mad.
i can still boot into recovery and bootloader though. does anyone have a cure?
(please can a mod move this to the correct section)
Maybe try to downgrade hboot to 1.49.0007

cheers fella, ive done that and now ive got a locked bootloader.
but it still isnt booting (it just goes to the juopunutbear screen.
would you suggest i try and load a stock rom after i reunlock the bootloader or do you have any idea what i should do next.
cheers for all your advice so far i really appriciate it.
I don't know man, you are something wrong.
Most of the new Roms requires 4ext recovery
Doesn't matter if its locked if its s-off
S-off>unlocked bootloader(HTC method)

ive got 4ext too mate.
when i run the exe of the shooter shipped rom (that football uploaded 3.38.401.1 europe) it just keeps telling me that it cant complete the installation and that ive got the wrong version of the installer (but isnt that just a windows thing....not actually something ive downloaded?)
when i flash a new custom rom from the recovery screen on the phone, the instalation goes through fine but it still goes back into bootloop and that juopnotbear screen?
do you think ive just completely buggered my phone?
cheers again mate

Well guys im absolutely stumped. I bought a DNA off ebay in hopes of unbricking it and getting it back in business. My goal is to put STOCK VZW rom back on it. Im absolutely puzzled as to what im doing wrong here. The Phone will only boot in bootloader mode. It is recognized in ADB. (Please forgive me if im using wrong terminology) Ive downloaded the STOCK RUU. Once the device is plugged in and I open the RUU and get to the part where it ask me to update the image. Both fields are blank. There is nothing in either fields. When I click update ROM my computer just crashes and gets hung. As far as some additional info, My bootloader was UNLOCKED and is now relocked, has S-ON and HBOOT 1.33.0001. Any suggestions as to what im doing wrong. I just want a stock DNA back.

It appears that this has the ENG Boot on it, When it powers up it says something about being illegal to distribute outside of HTC, but then immediately goes into boot loader mode.

Wonder if it got locked while on something it shouldn't have been.
Who relocked it, you or the seller/previous user?
I know in some cases relocking a boot loader on a custom recovery and kernel/ROM basically renders the device useless as it can't boot in either direction if it doesn't have fast boot available.
Perhaps the better course here is to fast boot a stock recovery to it, and maybe a stock boot.img, but it'll maybe take a few tries to find the right version to pass, unless the hboot version is ROM version specific.
Just an idea.

I am in the SAME boat with this phone.. How did you guys make out? LOCKED bootloader, S-ON.
I had this same problem as well. I was able to get it to boot by flashing the 2.06 firmware found here: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2314771
Someone had a custom rom on this DNA, and somehow relocked it with it on. So now, I have a custom rooted rom, but I cannot get the Moonshine (fails on temproot- maybe because its already rooted?) or Revone to work to clean up the mess.
