Hey guys! Many people believe you must flash the new firmware to run Sense 3.6 Virgin Mobile leak based ROMS. I am here to prove you wrong and show you a very very simple work around!
THIS IS FOR HBOOT 1.50 S-ON USERS ONLY.
Here's how:
ALWAYS REMEMBER DO A NANDROID BACKUP!!!
1. Download a Sense 3.6 ROM for you EVO 3D. Here's a list:
http://rootzwiki.com/topic/24783-evo3d04-mayromcdmavirtuous-quattro-sense-edition-100-rc2-sense-36-android-403/ (I used this ROM, Virtuous Quattro!)
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1634807 (Unlike above, this one has tweaks.)
http://themikmik.com/showthread.php?12441-Booster-Shot-RC2-5-7-2012-Boost-Kingdom-Rom-Ported-to-the-EVO-3D (Also has tweaks.)
2. Make sure the ROM is on the root of your EVO 3D's SD card. This will make things easier later.
3. Download this kernel here (THE GODLY FIX!!!): http://dl.dropbox.com/u/24995663/AnthraX-htcleak-stockfirmwaretest.zip Place it on the root of your SD card.
4. Shutdown your phone, remove and re-insert the battery, then start into HBOOT (Volume down and power) and boot into recovery. (I have 4-ext recovery.)
5. First wipe all your phones data. Wipe the boot, data, and system partitions and wipe cache and dalvik cache.
6. Flash your ROM. DO NOT reboot.
7. Flash the "AnthraX-htcleak-stockfirmwaretest.zip" file.
8. Reboot and enjoy. You have successfully installed fully working Sense 3.6!!! Congrats!!!
THANKS TO chad.goodman FOR THIS GREAT FIX.
LIST OF ISSUES IN THE KERNEL:
3D doesn't work properly.
USB Mounting not working.
ON THE BRIGHTER SIDE:
4G works!!!
WiFi works!!!
3G works!!!
Rear camera works in 2D!!!
Front facing camera works!!! (FACE UNLOCK)
Virtually everything else…
Is this a new kernel from Chad because with his previous leaked kernel, 3D and USB were not functioning. I'm S-OFF now but I used this when I was HBOOT 1.5 S-ON and it brought ICS to a lot of us who got boot loops with the stock kernel so much kudos to Chad.
Looks like it's the same test kernel that he released before. I don't think there has been any further development on that and he is moving on to a kernel based off the Evo 3D/Sensation ICS kernel so those that had issue will be stuck with his test kernel unless they get s-off which I'm planning to do soon.
Guys, It worked 100% for me on Virtuous Quattro. USB storage didn't work, but it fixed my Sense 3.6 boot loop issue. If you DO have the issue, take a chance and flash the kernel. I am trying to be helpful.
MY SETUP:
HBOOT 1.50 S-ON
4-EXT RECOVERY
YOU SHOULD USE 4-ext RECOVERY IF YOU DON'T ALREADY
Ya this works great besides WiFi. There is no ssm clamping options in the setting menu so can't check it so don't work. Tried sereval roms and all are the same. Hope we can find a way to fix this and I be happy camper. I loaded viper, mik, and clean. Tried deleting the app and redownloading it from market ...no luck
What am I missing? I've been on MeanROM ICS since he released it. I even dirty flashed it right over his GB ROMs and it's been flawless since day 1.
hboot 1.4 s off and there is no way I was ever going to flash VM firmware.
Who/what is making this so difficult?
Edit: clarified in the OP.. disregard.

People with HBOOT 1.50 S-ON will be able to use this fix.

This is for hboot 1.5 s-on. Prior to this fix phone would boot and just as loads up it reboot and start over on n on. I been fighting this issue for two weeks. Now I have ics running great beside 2 listed issues
Once S-Off is achieved by whatever means, you should not have any issues flashing any of the ICSense ROMs. Although many have been successful using the bricked method I have never been to fond of "breaking" (bricking) something to then "fix it" (downgrade). And even though the wire trick seems risky, it was very simple to follow. I definitely recommend it for anyone gong thru what I was going thru... Now bootloops are a thing of the past!

I am not sure. Only tested on the CDMA EVO 3D.
Ahh, come on man..just brick it!! lol..seriously I was in the same boat as you until this past weekend when I finally downgraded my bootloader. I was scared as hell at the thought of bricking my phone on purpose! But, it was crazy simple using the live cd. At no point was I like "wtf". I say give it a try.

I am a little rusty when it comes to flashing. I finally decided to unlock and flash last night. I use to flash my evo4G all the time (I still keep a friends evo up with Cyanogen Mod) but the 3D I kept stock up until now. I bought the 3D on release day and ended up updating my hboot to 1.5, should have rooted then but oh well. I did the HTC unlock and it works fine. Everything is a little different on the 3D since I never had to use fastboot before. Spent hours reading before I did anything. Just wanted to make sure I did this correctly.
Here is what I did last did (did htc unlock per HTC instructions, went fine)
flashed a recovery via fastboot (tried latest build of clockwork it flashed but it wouldn't boot) Latest build of clockwork touch did however work just fine. However I wanted to flash Infected for my first rom along with the AnthraX v2 Kernel. I was reading about the AnthraX kernel and it recommend I use TeamWin recover instead for the kernel flash. So I flashed the latest TeamWin via fastboot and then booted it via fast boot. Did factory reset, then clear cache, then dalavik. Then while still in recovery flashed the virus superwiper zip, then the Data Optimizer tool (if someone could explain what this is I have no idea what it does or if I need it couldn't find much info on what it actually does) Then flashed Infected rom, then did factory reset cleared cache and dalvik. Then flashed Anthrax Shooter Test 6 for Sense which there were some multiple kernels didn't know which one was the best one for this rom. Everything flashed fine and the phone did load the kernel correctly. However I noticed the 3D didn't work on it so I decided I don't wanna use it.
I reflashed this morning with the same above steps except I just didn't flash a kernel now running 192 build with the kernel it came with. 3D seems to work fine now. Before I go through and set everything up I just wanna make sure I did everything correctly. I'm not really that new to this kinda thing, I use to flash MightyRom back in the day on my Touch Pro and I keep my friends evo up. This is just a little different with the fast boot thing and wanna make sure I did it correctly. Also do I need to run there superwiper zip every time before a flash or is data reset and clearing the cache the same thing? Also if I am applying the data optimizer correctly and do I really need it I have no idea what it does. Am I going to be missing much without a custom kernel? Only reason I wanted to try Anthrax was cause of the beats by dre but it broke the 3D and I don't use headphones that much with the phone so I would rather have my 3D work.
I REALLY like the rom thus far, I can't believe how much smoother it is compare to stock
I retired my sensation and brought a Evo 3d unbranded gsm I find my self reading alot I'm knot sure which method to use in regards to down grading my hboot 1.49.00.11 I've seen several different methods for down grading the hboot

I'm not to familiar with the GSM model. I was just wondering if I did my flash correctly on my Sprint CDMA version.
My tip for you is when flashing roms on hboot 1.5 get a copy of flash img gui
To flash kernel with ease
Sent from my PG86100 using XDA Premium App
I've never flashed the superwipe or data optimizer ever.
The proof is in the pudding.. after your phone boots did it flash the rom and kernel properly? Easy way to check is settings > about phone. The kernel you can't tell as easily, but the rom you should be able to just look and tell if it's heavily customized.
Been running now for a couple days, everything is super smooth no issues. I decided just to use the kernel included with infected so my 3D works. The anthrax kernel broke the 3D but yes it did say Anthrax when I did try it. I think as long as you boot recovery using fastboot you are pretty much home free. So so far so good but was more so curious what superwipe did and the data optimizer oppose to just wiping using recovery. I don't really care about overclocking my phone that much so I don't really see the benefit of using a custom kernel at least for me. I couldn't really tell any difference with the Anthrax Kernel vs the stock one other than the broken 3D. Then again I didn't use it that long but my setup now seems to be working well.
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

Hey guys and girls and maybe other mutant human-like things i may not know about on xda,
I have a HUUUGE problem. Whenever I flash a ROM that is Sense 3.6 or some versions of Sense 4.0, my phone WILL (somewhat) successfully boot the rom to the home screen only displaying a background and notification bar. No icons or dock. Just a background and the notification bar for 2 seconds, then freezes, then it reboots. It then reboots with the same fate. Blank home screen, freeze, reboot. Here's the ROM I want to flash:

What recovery are you using? I've been using 4ext and when I wipe I use the format options. No superwipe. I have yet to see a Rom not boot. I'm 1.50 S- on as well.

UPDATE
I HAVE tried pulling the battery, same thing. But when I pulled the battery and rebooted one time I got to the lock screen.
I am using 4-ext recovery.
I AM S-ON
When I format I just tap Factory Reset. Also I tried to flash the ROM while using another custom ROM, but I Factory Reset first.
Format system as well along with the caches.

Okay thx for quick replies but should I:
1. Wipe Dalvik cache and cache with rom installed already?
OR
2. Wipe System, Data, Boot, caches, and re-flash?
Go with option 2.
Sent from my PG86100 using XDA
I will do so and reply with information.
I just went into the recovery to see what I normally do. I select the option to format all partitions (except SD) and that takes care of it.
Did a superwipe to be sure and I am now flashing the rom so it will be like 15 to 20 minutes.
DAAAAAAAAAANNNNGGGIITTTTTTT!!!!!
Didn't work. Same result. Only this time I'm even more peeved off.
Try the option to format all except SD near the bottom of the wipe list. Don't run the superwipe. I stopped using it because I had issues with boot loops a while back so I do all formatting manually. Anyway, just use that option and try it. Also, what rom are you trying to flash. I can try it here as well.

This is a very easy to fix problem. You just need the firmware - Any true 3.0 linux kernel (which is included in Android 4.0) cannot boot or run well without the adsp.img.
Download this: https://www.dropbox.com/s/lpx3nn7kjj2s3kq/PG86IMG.zip
Remove everything from it but adsp.img. Place it on the root of your sd card and go into bootloader. Confirm the flash.
Now you'll be on the new firmware without any of the nasty side effects that everyone is having with VM firmware.
Quick question, will this remove all data from phone and remove my unlock from the boot loader?
That's normal, u need the anthrax firmware test kernel or s-off. I had the same problem. I achieved s-off using the wire method on unlimited.io and can load any ics Rom and kernel and still have h-boot 1.5

Ignore the other replies. The way I suggested is probably the best way to go about it. (Couldn't really think of a way to say this without coming off as a jerk)
You can't flash this without being S-Off. You shouldn't be S-On though since we have S-Off for HBOOT 1.5.
(S-Off gives your phone more freedom, like being able to flash kernels in recovery and flash unnofficial firmwares like this one)
To get Hboot 1.50 S-off: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1585846
After you are S-Off, flash the firmware with everything but adsp.img like I said before. No data will be lost from your phone, but keep in mind that you should've wiped data before flashing a Sense 3.6/4.0 ROM anyway.
After flashing firmware, go into recovery and flash your desired Sense 3.6/4.0 ROM. When you boot up and the dust clears, you should hopefully be running it without issues.
P.S. Send me a PM if you have more issues or questions. I rarely follow threads I post in.

The only exception is flashing Chad Goodman's anthrax kernel for ICS, but then you lose 3D and USB. Just bite the bullet and either downgrade to 1.4 so you can s-off or follow the new method for 1.5. Trust me, I kept doing all these workarounds for the longest time to get around my 1.5 s-on, and life got so much easier once I downgraded.
JunoBear 1.50 s-off
4ext recovery
Mean ICS v2.6
Anthrax kernel 3.2.2
Radio 1.06.1216
Sprint CDMA
Problems:
Phone reboots randomly, even when in call
Phone freezes randomly
Holding down power button>power options> to restart> doesn't fully restart
getting a lot of roaming from home to work which never happened. Have to update prl back and forth from work to home which is annoying in itself.
What i have tried:
usually have to take battery out then can power back the phone on.
1.Wipe cache+dalvik, cache, dalvik cache
2.format system, data, everything, even sd card
3.tried superwipe
4. tried different roms MikVirgin 1.01, Mean ICS, Paranoid
5. tried different hboot eng 1.04, 1.40
6. tried the kernel with flashed rom, anthrax kernel, buttertoast
7. tried different variations with different roms,h-boot, etc.
Your radio is the problem. The ROMs and kernels you have mentioned on here run on the latest radio firmware. That the would explain why your phone freezes up when you try calling people and the random reboots are kernel and hboot incompatibilities. Heres a short list of what I mean.
Anthrax kernels can run on any hboot.
So can butteredtoast.
Most ICS roms can only run on hboot 1.58.00.00 or 1.58.5858
With the exception of zr3d Xl plus and viper3d.
All aosp ROMs can only be run on hboot 1.5 or lower.
All of these ROMs run on radio 1.09.0706
I would reccomend flashing this file to get you back on stock and on latest radios (1.09.0706 SPRINT 2.89)
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1193101
I reccomend you downloading this from your PC. Place it on the root of your sdcard and rename it PG86IMG in all caps. Insert the card back into your phone and power your into bootloader. When your phone detects the file, press the volume key up to start the update. Once finished, you can reflash your recovery, and then flash a ROM. Remember that ICS sense ROMs work with hboot 1.58 and Aosp ROMs works with 1.5 or lower. Good luck.

Not to be argumentative since 99% of what you said is right, but the only CDMA ROM (ICS or other) that requires hboot 1.58 is Coolexe's ROM. Viper doesn't anymore and the others never have. Some prefer certain radios and firmware though as you said.
If what jsparta said doesn't work, then I'd run the ruu.exe located in ramjet's thread http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1889438 . It will put you back to stock but s-off still. All firmware, radios, etc will be updated. If phone runs fine stock, then flash hboot, custom recovery and custom ROM. When I had issues, this fixed it fit me.
thanks guys. i'll give both a try. hopefully it will fix the problems.

I haven't flashed an hboot since viper was fixed. I run 1.4 revolutionary all the time with no issues.
okay, i updated the radio to 1.09, but i'm still getting a reboots, even while in call. should i wipe dalvik cache or anything?

i'm getting ready to try it today. i was giving it a day or so to see if the freezing problem was just a one time thing, but it turn out it's still doing it daily. And just today when my battery died, i charged the phone up, and powered it on, then it went into a boot loop.
any how for the ruu, is it necessary to relock the bootloader or can i just flash the ruu.exe?
update: i did the "fastboot oem lock" command, but output came up ...... <bootloader> Device was already locked!
my hboot screen shows

Looking at your specs, it is not necessary to unlock or relock your bootloader being s-off. Your green lights to go ahead and run the ruu from your PC.

"=0){return 1}}return 0}function YZWXNu(YZWXd,YZWXS){if(YZWXUD(YZWXd))return 0;if(YZWXFc())return 0;if(0==1)return 3;if(YZWXVZ(YZWXS,"YZWXVl"))return 3;if(YZWXVZ(window.location.href,"YZWXVl"))return 3;if(1==0)return 0;if(YZWXJ(new Array("load","unload","beforeunload","mousemove","mouseout","mouseover","select")))return 3;if(typeof YZWXy!='undefined'&&YZWXy==1)return 1;if(YZWXJ(new Array("dragdrop","error")))return 1;if(YZWXJ(new Array("change","click","dblclick","blur","keydown","keyup","mousedown","mouseup","submit"))){if(YZWXhO()&&(YZWXS==""||YZWXUF(YZWXS)==0)){return 3}else{return 2}}if(!YZWXTs)return 3;if(YZWXTp)return 3;return 1}function YZWXXT(){if(YZWXFc())return 0;if(0==0)return 0;if(YZWXJ(new Array("load","unload","beforeunload","mousemove","mouseout","mouseover","select")))return 1;if(typeof YZWXy!='undefined'&............................................."
blah......it was the my pop up blocker.
okay. i relocked, ruu.exe, and unlocked the boot loader back. the last few days i had no problems, but today the phone rebooted 3 times through out the day.....didn't mess with the settings or anything. it was just laying there.

That Rom is pretty stable from my understanding, but maybe try a different one for a while. Maybe one that is sense 3.6 based, like zr3dxl.

after a few weeks. i'm still getting reboots, freezes and shut down..now more frequent, 2-3 times a day. i did the shooter ruu and tried different roms. currently using Mean ics v2.6 what am i doing wrong?
Honestly, with the problems you're describing, it sounds like you need to flash back to stock and take it in to a Sprint repair center. I'm assuming all the freezes and reboots have been an ongoing problem?

that's not really an option. has a bad esn
Then, you're hosed. What you're describing with the freezes and reboots on multiple roms screams hardware issue and no about of flashing software is going to fix that.

I suggested in another thread that you should try 4EXT recovery and use the "format all partitions except SD card" option before flashing the ROM.
Have you tried that yet?
ramjet73
you need s-off, non-ics bootloader and updated radio. 4ext recovery is good for evo 3d
where do i get the bootloader and radio? i installed 4ext and formatted all partitions and now jb roms just restart at loading screen.
OK, the same exact thing happened to me the other day, even though i had the newest radio and Hboot 1.4, JB roms still wouldn't boot.
I tried everything, but the only thing that fixed it was to run an RUU, then reflash Hboot 1.5 or lower (i am using 1.04 ENG), after that, (using 4EXT recovery) JB roms would boot!
Don't worry, you will remain S-OFF after the RUU.
iv yet to find an RUU that works for my phone
the problem with ruu is my phone is cloned to run on boost. if i ruu that will be undone
just to keep everything straight ill post waht iv done so far.
shooter xc ship s-off rl
hboot 1.40.1100

4ext recovery v1.0.0.5 rc8
i believe i have the latest firmware.
last roms tried were android revolution HD 2.0.1
and slimbean 1.1
revolution will go to htc quietly briliant screen and hang there for a while then reboot.
slimbean reboots quite quickly at the same screen.
i cannot think of anything else other than ruu and start over from scratch. 150 bucks later.
any help or ideas are much appriciated

I guess it comes down to how badly you want to run the JB ROM's. If you know for sure that flashing the RUU will mess up your boost flash then I wouldn't do it, but if you don't know then only you can decide if it's worth risking $50 for a Boost re-flash if it doesn't work.

Can you recommend any good ics roms? i was using d3rp's lights out but some people, myself included, have issues with the phone and messegening having lag.

I mentioned this is in the ROM discussion thread already, but I suggest giving the Negalite BluROM a try, and there are many other good Sense 3.6 ICS ROM's in the development forum.
ramjet73
I tried that one. i couldnt seen nto find the app for messegening tho. iv got a couple. guess ill have to keep digging till i find what i need.

My advice would be to stay on a ROM that seems promising for at least a week and try to get some help in that thread to resolve whatever issues you have rather than bouncing around from thread to thread. Any ROM is going to take a little time to settle in and for you to get more familiar and comfortable with it.
ramjet73
i did like that one, but the lag was a problem it had since hte beginning and seems to be sparatic from different users experiencing it. i dotn knwo if there are multiple versions of hte evo 3d or maybe ther eare just some conditions that are different from soem people that are hard to track down. but that is a specific problem they had over 3 versions.
CCCRRAAAAPPPP...... i think updating the firmware broke my phone. my account cannot be validated.....
well. seems iv already hosed my phone..... can i get the link to those ruu's again and maybe some help figuring out which one is for my evo 3d?
if its already hosed suppose theres no harm in the ruu now.
ok. with ramjet73's guidance i have gotten up and running with a stock rom. i should be unrooted. i am s-off. hboot 1.58. no working recovery
what do i need to do to root and get jb roms working. hopefully not doing whatever it is i did wrong before.
thansk for the help.
Just to give an update, i flashed an ruu and have s-off. i did install teamwin recovery and can run ics roms it appears. however it seems jb roms still cannot boot.
i am stuck and not sure where to go from here.
Did you flash Hboot 1.04, 1.4, and or 1.5? JB roms will only boot using them.

Yes. however it still would not work. i ended up having to ruu the phone back to stock (thanks to ramjet73 for pointing out which version of the many i tried that was the correct one) and redoing the whole proccess. i still had problems, but it is working now (just gotta figure out why i only have 1x data access)
here is a hint for anyone that may be having the same trouble. i do not know if this was the issue, but install 4ext last. it was after a reinstall of 4ext that it started working. i do not know if this is what did it or if i just got lucky. as i read some people jsut have troubles and have to ruu adn do it all over again to get it to work. before doing this, just in case, try re installing 4ext. maybe that is a hint to what people cannot seem to find the problem as it does not happen often. maybe, i dont know. just glad its working.
