I have tried to flash both Mean ROM ICS and viperROM ICS, but all i get is bootloops. I get to the main screen but all it does is reboot and say Android is Upgrading. BTW: S-ON HBOOT:1.5 Recovery:4EXT Smartflash ON
This is how i flash a ROM
1)From Fastboot boot into 4ext Recovery
2) Install Modified_Superwipe
3)Install the ROM
4) GET BOOTLOOPS!

Hm. Maybe just try manually wiping everything from recovery instead? I never use superwipes and as long as I factory data reset x2, wipe cache/dalvik x2, I never have issues. That's just how I've done it on all my phones and I never have issues.
I just flashed Newts One S RC3. It took me a while but I finally found a method that worked. I did it once and got through set-up and was in play store downloading apps when it went into boot loop. I tried the same method again and it didn't work. I messed around with different methods for a while before getting the following to work.
What I'm using:
HTC Unlock method
Hboot 1.5
S-on
cwm recovery 4.0.1.4
I used a computer to fastboot to recovery. Did factory data reset, wipe dalvik, and cache all x2. I installed the .zip rom file from SD card. And then installed the .zip anthrax ics RLS5 kernel file from SD card. Then I rebooted and so far everything is working fine. I've been running it for a couple hours now. I manually downloaded my apps one by one from the play store for fear of repeating what happened to me the first time. And I've just finished signing in to everything I use and haven't had an issue yet.
I hope this helps.

Yes i herd about this but have you tried charging or connecting your phone to a computer, many people can't charge or connect to computer via USB because of this kernel
Idk before I sent my phone in a had been using that kernel. I had no trouble charging/connecting. But really what it comes down to is every one of these phones is different, then you throw in the hboot and other key factors and it just gets worse.

Turn off smartflash if you are s-off you dont need it.
Then flash chads htc leak rls1 kernel, that stopped all the bootloops and problems for me its something about the stock kernel i am guessing. Everything worked fine after using that kernel. Anthrax rls5 says not to use it with sense 3.6, its right on androidfilehost. Chad said to use the leak rls1 instead for sense 3.6.
boot loop
wonder why every sense 4.0 ics rom i try to flash to my htc evo 3d... it always boot loop, i done tired everything everyone told me and the same thing happens.. only thing that really works on my phone is gingerbread... any suggestion??? really would appreciate it...

In my case I can't get any ROM based on the leaked RUU to boot unless I changed the kernel, this applies to both 3.6 and 4.0 ROMs. I don't know if you're GSM or CDMA but I know the kernel from Shooter_Ice works for me which is a GSM ROM. I can flash that over just about any ROM and it works or I can install the ROM straight up and it works to. If you're GSM, try that, if you're CDMA then look for a similar ROM that isn't based on the HTC leak.

ICS ROMs bootloop if you are Hboot 1.5 S-On (which you are if you unlocked via HTC). I recommend you get S-off using the wire trick or downgrade to 1.4 S-off. See the stickies in the CDMA Development section (or GSM development) to find information and steps on how to do it.

+1, go s-off and you can flash anything you want
Loop FIX
Sometimes you will get boot loops even with 4ext.
One thing that I have found which works is flashing mean ROM 2.4 ICS as a base.
This ROM probably will not boot or will get stuck in a boot loop but that is fine in this case. From there on use 4ext to complete a "dirty install" of another ICS ROM. I recommend SOS De-Sensed Rom. Sometimes flashing a ICS ROM on top of another ICS ROM (booting or non booting) allows for install.
to bypass all the bs go straight to fastboot and flash 4ext recovery 1.00.5 and do the s off wiretrick and then try to flash the rom... when you get s off it releases more permissions for the kernel to flash to the rom without having to use flash image gui from joekrimz
try this
ok you need to flash the boot.img file trough the bootloader, if that doesnt work try flash image gui
Flash custom rom then pull out your battery, go to fastboot then try flash this boot.img with fastboot http://db.tt/kEUVhnvV

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.

You have to flash the kernel for MeanRom ICS, since it can't use the stock GB kernel. I used Flash Image GUI(in the Play Store).
1) Open Flash Image GUI and go to your Mean Rom zip to flash the kernel.
2) Boot into recovery from Flash Image GUI.
3) Flash Mean Rom ICS and reboot.
Check out this video.

There are other ways of course like going to S-off, but since you are S-on, this should work.

Issue resolved. just had to flash a different kernel. Still S-on and its working perfectly with meanrom. Thanks everyone for your help
What kernel did you end up going with?
get 4ext recovery, it has smart flash so you won't be having to use guiflash or fastboot.. and boot loops are common with 1.5 hboot
For the future i would recomend installing 4ext recovery its a recovery biult for evo 3d on s-on. It lets you upload difrent roms. You could by that app at the playstore. You shold really check it out.
OK here's what I have have/have done:
HBOOT 1.50, S-ON
I used fastboot to flash 4ext 1.0.0.5 RC5 to the recovery so I wouldn't have to fastboot every time.
I also flashed "AnthraX-htcleak-rls1.zip" (within 4ext) which supposedly fixes reboot loops.
I would perform a "factory wipe" then turn on SmartFlash and then flash an ICS ROM (MeanROM 2.4, Clean ROM ICS RC2, Derp ROM BDM4.1, viperROM B3) and they all rebooted in one of three ways: as soon as I went to unlock, after sitting on the lock screen for about 5 seconds, or without the lock screen ever loading.
I got CleanROM Reborn (gingerbread) to load and I'm using that for now.

First off, doing a factory wipe ins't enough generally. Grab superwipe from the first post of MeanROM ICS and flash that first. Do it multiple times to make sure everything gets clean. Then flash the ROM, and finally the AnthraX kernel.
1. superwipe
2. flash ROM
3. flash kernel
It your still have issues after this then you need to get your 3D s-off. Some just have trouble properly flashing the kernel with s-on on an ICS ROM

OK, so here's what I ended up doing to get it to work:
Unlock the bootloader with the HTC tool
Flash the recovery using fastboot.exe with 4EXT 1.0.0.5 RC5 (I had actually downloaded this on my phone prio to doing anything so I had the zip file with the .img file in it)
Boot in to 4EXT recovery and turn on SmartFlash
Flash the superwipe zip first
Flash the ICS ROM (in this case MeanROM)
Flash the Anthrax zip file
Reboot the phone and let it go through the setup and it was all set!
So the most frustrating part was unlocking the bootloader, because I misread some instructions at first, and it took me a while to realize I could flash 4EXT to recovery to I wouldn't have to keep booting to it through my PC, but it all worked out in the end. I'm now running ICS on my phone and it was still less of a headache than waiting for Sprint.
A lot has changed in the last year and a half or so since I rooted my EVO 4G. Thanks everyone!
I have the CDMA Evo 3D
*** UNLOCKED ***
SHOOTER XC SHIP S-ON RL
HBOOT-1.50.0000
eMMC-boot
It is Rooted and running the Sprint 2.17 odex ROM 2.3.4 Gingerbread
With TWRP Recovery.
I've been reading forums for three weeks. No one has given me a clear answer.
What I want to do is get ICS. Now before you all facepalm and say "Use the wire trick noob" It's not that simple.
My phone was flashed to Boost Mobile. I didn't flash it and I have not the slightest Idea how to flash and according to support at http://www.unlimited.io The wire trick will clear my flash. So the wire trick is a no no.
Now there was a method where you flash the boot.img using fastboot
"fastboot flash boot boot.img"
It pushes it and says success.
Then I reboot into recovery (vol down and power button)
and flash the ROM. It bootloops every single time.
I've been looking for a way to S-Off safely with no luck, so now I'm determined to master the flash process. All i want is One working ICS ROM for my device.
Thanks in advance for the help, Nova.
Have you tried to flash the kernel AFTER flashing the ROM?

Now i've rebooted and the bootanimation is playing. I'll update to tell if it's bootlooping
Yup, still bootlooping.
ried entire process with Cool ICS ROm. NO BOOTLOOP ! YAY!
but instead it shows the homescreen for three seconds then shuts off.
The link below discusses Boost. The poster seems to know a lot about Boost so you might want to PM him about getting s-off. I really do think s-off will fix your issues.

Why don't you just flash a stock gingerbread ROM them stock recovery and relock your bootloader then take the ota update , let it install then unlock via HTC Dev again...
from what I learned from being S-ON with 1.5 unlocked, you have to:
flash the boot.img file BEFORE flashing the ROM. extract it from the ROM push it via fastboot, enter recovery via fastboot then wipe wipe WIPE everything except your SD card 3X, flash ROM, enjoy ICS goodness

If you are booting recovery via fast boot and then flashing a ROM, there is no need to flash boot.img separately. The recovery will work as if you are s-off. And there is no logic in wiping partitions 3x.....
Or you can directly flash a ROM from recovery without booting recovery via fast boot, and then flash boot.img via fast boot.
Or use 4ext recovery and turn smart flash on, and flash ROMs directly without using fast boot.

It might my friend..maybe..juuust maybe it will. If it does o0u can always try and reflash back to Boost?
As far as I know, both unknownforce's, and the wire trick to downgrade the bootloader to hboot 1.4 will erase your flash to boost... Ask me how I know...lol!
Have you tried the app flash image GUI? When I was s on, I used this app to flash the kernel, then I went to recovery, and flashed the Rom, and all worked as long as the kernel was compatible with the specific Rom I was flashing, maybe you can try flashing the VM leak kernel, then an ics Rom

That's just the way its ever worked for me so I found it was worth giving out my way at least as an opinion I know once you boot into recovery via fastboot is SUPPOSED to work that way, never did for me hence my weird method. Wiping partitions may not have any logic to you sir, but to some of us it does back from the OG EVO days, that's what devs there used to post, that's what I've gone with as a routine for myself.
I've known peeps who attempt the ROM first boot then reflash boot.img after- endless powercycle. Never happened when I tried it but eh
4EXT wasn't always around so I guess I'm still trying to get used to easier flashin on this phone. I enver used smart flash on this one because when I was S-ON I did it the fastboot method, then the Unknown Force method came to be and I never had a need for it.
Evo 3D on Boost S-off but problems with ICS ROMs
Background:
EVO 3D (CDMA) flashed to Boost Mobile. Sept 2011
Rooted HTC Method Oct 2011
ROMs ROMs ROMs until about 6 months ago (currently using Eternity Infected Rom 1.4.2)
Tried to go to ICS and had problems so did S-off wire trick Aug 2012 (Lost Boost Mobile flash) Had to reflash to Boost.
Now:
****Unlocked****
Shooter XC Ship S-OFF RL
HBOOT 1.50.0000
baseband 97.10.0808
I'm in a quandry at this point of what to do next.
I'm not able to successfully load any of the new ROMs. I tried just upgrading to Infected ROM 2.0 but it also always has issues like it forces me to use skype or email won't open. I'm guessing it is because I load my old data from Titanium backup and it isn't compatible. I tried Mean ROM and it works and changes my kernel but I don't like it as it is full of Sprint Bloatware which does me no good on Boost. I've tried to load the latest Viper ICS ROM and it just stays stuck on the HTC screen.
i got an HTC EVO 3D (CDMA/sprint)
its rooted
HBOOT 1.5
unlocked
currently has 4EXT recovery
running gingerbread (synergy)
every time i try to install an ICS rom it freezes on boot (some cases crashes as soon as you see the lockscreen)
i can however install gingerbread roms without problems
ive tried using ota's (what apperantly doesnt work if its rooted and has an recovery flashed)
cwm recovery (which i cant flash kernels)
twrp (can only install ingerbread roms, ICS roms still freeze on boot)
4EXT (first flash boot.img through fastboot than install rom, this works lil bit better than twrp becouse some ICS roms get to the unlock screen befoor they crash)

You need to be S-off in order to flash an ICS ROM, unless you use 4EXT smart flash, which isn't guaranteed to work.

ive got TuopunutBear's custom HBOOT 1.50.5050
and im in an bootloop (it crashes right after the HTC logo)
cant even flash GB roms anymore
You need to be using either the sprint 1.58 or the vm 1.57 hboots afaik
You just need to get back the bootloader first - take out the battery, put it back in, power on, hold volume down...

Make sure you are S-OFF and have a compatible firmware/HBOOT.

Frank....I think the issue is you probably installed the wrong rom version....This is very important that you install the correct rom for Evo 3d GSM or CDMA version or you would get Bootloop...I would suggest you install this rom http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1991150
and make sure you use 4EXT latest version, S-Off, Unlocked...
This rom is Viper3d Sense 4.1 and the most stable and fast ICS rom so far for GSM and CDMA......Since you have S-off and unlocked...you dont have to flash the boot.img separately....just copy the rom files to Sdcard then follow my instruction:
1)Do a full wipe (Wipe data/reset factory, Wipe cach+davik, Format partrition [without Sdcard])
2)Install from zip card,,,then choose the rom....
3)Reboot...it should work great if you do as i said.....
Furthermore....i would recommend you install Anthrax kernel....i dont know if the forum is allow me to send the link here.....??

I had this issue. If every Rom you flash bootloops, you may want to run the ruu.exe to reset your phone (you'll still be s-off). Hopefully this will get your phone booting. Then flash a custom hboot (I use 1.4 revolutionary) and then custom recovery (I use 4ext). You should be able to flash anything at that point (except a select few roms).
You can get the ruu.exe and other files from the thread I linked earlier.
GET HBOOT 1.49.0007 unlocked and s-off and 4ext as recovery then it should.work with most roms!

NO, NO, NO! He's CDMA and that's a GSM hboot. Don't flash that or it'll be trouble.

Wait, is he REALLY CDMA?
I'm confused right now.
It says he's from Europe, which usually uses GSM.
-shrugs-
Well, all I have to add is if you're flashing the kernel right away, don't set the overclock value to high, that's what causes bootloops/hangs.
Set your max cpu to stock (1188 MHz) for now. Then once it boots, overclock. I find that anything fast 15XX MHz causes bootloops with new versions of kernels.
I bought it from ebay becouse it was so much cheaper (I know europe is gsm only)
do I have to run an ruu or flash hboot
And which versions of those

it is CDMA from sprint
Go to this website www.htcruu.com and make sure you install the correct ruu to return to stock rom. At first you need to lock your phone by using fastboot flash lock oem....(google how to lock your phone ) then run the ruu file...
After that, unlock your phone again. So tour phone now would be Unlocked+S-off. At thia stage,you can install viper3d rom without problem...make sure you choose ruu for sprint with ics+radio 11.77
Okay, I got my Evo 3D with 4.0.4 ICS and HBOOT 1.58.....I Downgraded the HBOOT to 1.40 and have S-OFF....Now i'm in a bootloop....I can't get to the OS and when I try to install a Recovery (it has 4EXT on it but I want TWRP so I can install a different ROM....I CURRENTLY have Negalite BluRom but it bootloops at the 3D splash screen)....I can't do the Fastboot Flash UnlockToken b/c it errors out, I can't flash Recovery b/c it says FAIL....

Can you flash boot.img from fastboot? If you can flash the boot.img from Negalite zip. Can you enter 4ext recovery? Try reinstalling the drivers.

What recovery are you using? Download this and flash it from fastboot. Enable 4ext smartflash and reflash the rom. If it doesn't boot again extract the rom and flash the boot.img from fastboot. If you have any question quote me to get notified.

it works.
a big thanks bro, it worked. I earlier used clockworkmod recovery but as you suggested when i used 4ext recovery with smartflash enabled, it worked in first try, thanks a lot.:good:
Hi, I have a HTC EVO 3D, HBOOT- 1.53.007 that's stuck on bootloop after I tried to install PACMAN. I didn't get the S-OFF...don't know if this could have contributed to that.

I did unlock the bootloader and I had installed 4ext recovery. During the process, PACMAN just kept rebooting the phone and I got so frustrated. I followed some other trend to rectify it, but I ended up taking off 4ext and the original O.S from the phone

So you have to reflash the 4ext and download a rom. You can find Here the 4ext recovery. Flash it through fastboot and after that you can enter 4ext and flash any ics sense-based rom and your phone will boot.

Did you install 4ext or tried only the ruu? If you can enter recovery I can help you on what to do there.

I can't install either of them cause my computer doesn't read the phone. I have CWM still on the and that's the only time I can actually mount the phone via USB to gain access to the SD card
