I've been doing some research so I would not end up posting here because there are already many threads on my problem. Yet now I'm here because after 45 minutes of searching I'm tired of the stupidity.
I have a EVO 3d (That's why I'm posting here) and it randomly reboots when I'm doing everyday tasks (Does this on various roms, Meanrom, CleanRom, and SOS-M). Seems to have started after I flashed the Unicorn Porn rom on the device. So what I've read is that it could be my SD card, so I've followed all the threads I could find to clean/repair/and get it back into working state. I'm convinced it's not that now.
The last thing that I've come across is that a custom kernel by "Chad.Goodman" is really good and has fixed peopled problems with this issue. But he seems to have vanished off google. The webpages that I have found links to 404.
All I've been trying to do is find a download to this kernel or one that will fix my issue... Anyone have any ideas? I plan to run the SOS-M rom.

Most people learn by asking. My question was not how to fix the rebooting problem, it was where can I get the kernel in question, or one that is comparable.
Go to infectedrom.com.
Edit: what recovery are you using?
i was under impression those kernels were needed only for S-ON users. I used em until i did the downgrade to get to 1.4/S-OFF.
have you tried superwipe??? i would find that, wipe til it hurts and then reflash...oh, and I found on my 3D (even with downgrade) it likes it when I wipe batt stats before and after i flash a ROM.
Running MeanICS 2.2 with no issues for some time....

No custom kernels are available or able to be flashed until we get full S-Off.
i have been told by several different people that being unlocked allows you to flash roms, kernels, and radios. Some of these have to be flashed in fastboot however. Basically getting s-off is just an extra bonus that 99% of us wont ever need
Custom kernels ARE possible to flash with s-on still, or at least on other HTC phones in the same scenario have had custom kernels in the past. radios, I'm not sure. There arent any kernels available yet that I know of, but they will exist in due time. We've been unlocked for a day.

Now I will give you that I could be wrong about the Kernel. However the radio is definitely locked and as it should be.
this is what im talking about, glad to see im not the only one. was told repeatedly that kernel COULD be flashed. also read that others already HAD. just trying to ascertain HOW and WHERE they got them....
anyone with a solid answer/location?
You can flash a kernel. There are just none that are made yet.

Can anyone link me to a FAQ/Tutorail about kernels, s-off, pretty much everything about rooting HTC phones, mainly the Rezound. I just got my Rezound today, returned my GNEX. I've never had a HTC phone before and a lot these abbreviations are confusing me, like RUU, kernel, etc. I'm not saying I'm going to start flashing all these I would just like to at least understand what everyone else is talking about and why these are such a big part of the rom community.
ty... installed and running cheetah fast!!
This is beginning to get out of control with all of the thread jacking and such with mainver issues. Anyway, read on.
NEW INFO: FLASH THIS: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=23169557&postcount=4\
PROBLEM SOLVED!
Old info if you care:
Q. What is MainVer?
A. MainVer is a string that HBOOT keeps track of that keeps the latest version of the RUU or PH98IMG.zip that has been flashed.
Q. Why does HTC have this?
A. In order to prevent downgrading with an RUU.
Q. I haven't run an RUU. How was my MainVer updated?
A. There are 2 reasons your MainVer could have been updated at this point.
The Original ICS Leak
DSB's new BAMF Rom (downloaded 1/17/2012 or later)
The original ICS leak that some of you flashed was still in RUU image form. Unfortunately, this was distributed with an updated MainVer string in the android-info.txt. When this was flashed, the new MainVer string was recorded into your device. DSB for some reason also included this new android-info.txt in his kernel PH98IMG.zip that is packed with his rom. I am not quite sure why he did that.
Q. What does this mean for me?
A. See new text at the top
Q. Why won't devs just add the new mainver to their roms to make my life easier?
A. They could, but then they would be forcing everyone to have this problem, not just you. It would also prevent everyone from using an RUU to repair their phones until a new one came out.
More Info:
No matter if you are going GB->GB or GB->ICS or ICS->GB you will need to have the correct mainver for your device. If you aren't having trouble going from rom to rom right now, you shouldn't even be looking at this guide. But if you got your mainver updated, you need to replace the android-info.txt for every single rom forever (until a new RUU comes out and it is safe to unify everyone's mainver)

Thanks! That is a good idea about the bookmark. Ill do that too.
Yeah I had to answer this question a few times... this Q/A should make it easier.
I want to be sure I understand this correctly. If I flash an ICS rom I need to use the android-info mainver source 3.10.605.7 and if I want to revert back to a stock rom I need to use the android-info mainver source 1.02.605.6?
I have not installed any ICS roms yet, waiting for some more of the bugs to get worked out. I've been reading where many people are having issues with installing ICS roms and struggling with reverting back to stock.
I will try to make that more clear. Hold on.
I make a motion to sticky this thread. Anyone 2nd this motion?

Yeah, definitely a 2nd for very this useful post. Especially since a lot of the ROM threads are getting off topic because of this. I saw Scott posted a link to this thread in his release posts. Good idea for the Devs to link back here too
Yeah this needs to be stickied...
Con... here is a post I did explaining Mainver... It is a bit more simplified, might be easier to follow for the new guys. (it also explains what RUU files are and what they do)
Marine6680 said:
RUU files are the official software releases from HTC.
RUU files are signed. (They give proper "official" codes to hboot to get past the s=on security)
This means that they can flash all parts of the device, even the bootloader and radio firmware, which we can not normally flash because it is write locked. (do to s=on we can't flash them even with root)
Sometimes people have issues and need to get the phone back to pure stock so they use the RUU.
Mainver is data on the software version number of the kernel (I believe... it may be for some other part, either way it is version info)
Think V1... V1.2... V1.5... V1.5.5
Because of s=on we are not allowed to "downgrade/revert" to older software versions.
The leaked ICS build has a newer Mainver, some people flashed the leak unmodified, and that changed the Mainver info. Now they need to use a special trick to trick the s=on security to allow flashing of older kernels. The ICS ROMs we have now, have been modified so they do not change the Mainver. This makes it easier to go back to GB or switch to other ROMs.

I am sorry but I am trying to make sense of all this. I am on Scott's CleanRom 2.1 will I need to use these instructions to go back to my stock room? This is my first HTC, I've only had Motorola phones up till now and I hate to admit it but this is all a bit over my head. I have been studying these forums for the last 2 days and I really have no clue how to use the backup I made of my stock GB Rom or even what kernel to use. I do regret not waiting to mess with this phone. Any help is greatly appriciated and I love all the work you have all put into this phone. Thanks in advance.

You're pretty much good because Scott's ROM does not update your MainVer. This is only for those ROMs that updated the MainVer. All you will need to do is restore your nand and flash the stock rooted kernel with Scott's Clean Flash tool. It's really more simple than you would think. You can find the Clean Flash tool and the stock rooted kernel in the dev forum. Just make sure that there is no PH98IMG.img on your ext sd card before you try to revert to your nandroid. Once you have restored your nand, you need to get to HBoot using the clean flash tool to make sure that you flash the stock rooted kernel. If you have the PH98IMG on your ext SD card, you would be kind of boned. Hope this helps a little.
So I flashed BAMF once, but it was weeks ago and I've since been using GingerSense without any issues, and that flashed fine after I tossed his boot.img back on, and then again after I did a full wipe a few nights ago. Is there any way to easily tell which mainver we're currently on? I'm assuming I'm ok since I haven't had to do anything else while flashing his ROM, guess I just wanna make sure.

I believe mainver only changed if you flashed rezound cubed 1.0.2. If you didn't flash that, like I did, you should be fine.
Sent from my ADR6425LVW using xda premium
Well if that's true then yeah I'm ok, I see 1.0.2 is from 1/17 and I know I flashed it well before that, so I guess that explains why I haven't had any issues. Thanks!

Thanks, I added that date to the OP
It worked
Wasabi, I appriciate you giving me the little extra i needed to get back to stock. Thanks for the help.
So, is the MainVer stuck at the higher version number even if you manually flash the older boot.img from the PC?
The boot.img is independent of the mainver. Once you have it set higher, it can never go back. Possibly on an S-OFF device, but that would be pointless.
Oh thrill. So no ICS for us who flashed the dsb kernel? I hope the real HTC ICS is out soon then.....
Edit 3: Well more news. I have found that it's a problem with OTA and the new base with ICS builds. Seems like the cpu settings aren't wanting to stick at all. It's min/max is set at 100%. Disabling Perflock with Antutu and Setcpu seem to not be working as well. I saw on a different forum that someone else was having this same problem and was suggested to flash BAMF's new sense boot img. This unfortunately did nothing. Am and two other people only having this issue? If so, man i'm unlucky
So I ran the OTA from Con247's thread here And now I am having crazy issues:
Code:
1) Battery is overheating like crazy. Staying at 114F consistently
2) Had the "Dead Battery + CWM" issue like seen [URL="forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1489687"]here[/URL]
Now I have resolved the second issue, pain in the ass but solved. I was wondering if anyone had any advice for the first problem? Or if running an older RUU I'm thinking RUU_Vigor_VERIZON_WWE_1.02.605.6_Radio_RS_0.95.00.1013r_3161E_9K_NV_8k_1.12_9k_1.83_V_APT_release_221502_signed.exe
Any issues with going back? Is it even possible? This is a good arguement for having S-off so I can flash whatever I want. Thanks for the help!
Edit1: After further testing I have found that I can run GB with the battery hovering around 88F-92F while doing nothing and about 94F-96F while syncing. (Just flashed CleanROM GBE 1.7.5 for testing) Stock (from RUU) is running cool at 82F-86F
Edit2: Can anyone also give me some insight to normal battery temperatures? OC, stock, Heavy Use w/4g, Heavy Use Wifi, Screenoff... ect.)
My experience was similar. I think something in the OTA kernel is eating battery and causing heat. When I used that same process it didn't work quite right for me. I ended up RUUing to the latest official build and that helped some. Con's process does update your boot loader though and the old RUU will see that and fail. Your mainver should be updated too... So that can cause problems going back too.
I went to an ICS from and that helped my overheat issue some. I recommend the RUU and checking out one of those . You should see some improvement.

So run the acutal RUU? The latest or an older version?
If you took the OTA, you have to run the latest RUU. 2.01.xxx.xx.
So it seems that running the older RUU wouldn't work because it detects your version and will tell you that you have a newer version.
There's a new tool from drellisdee that will change your mainver using a script.
HERE: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1526316
So... I think you can use that and put yourself back to 1.x and run the 1.x RUU. You might want to check in that thread though. Also, I don't know for sure that it will revert your hboot and radios and such by running the older RUU or not. Worth a try though.
I also think I've read something about being able to revert the radios back to the original ones, not sure where that was though, and may have just been a post of someone else who thought it was possible.
Yeah good idea, I was thinking that too. I unfortunately cannot find an older RUU that isn't uploaded to FileFactory. Man that place is the worst. So what if every other uploader has shutdown in fear of persecution. And because of that they're severely overloaded. I need my RUU's dammit.
Can anyone also give me some insight to normal battery temperatures? OC, stock, Heavy Use w/4g, Heavy Use Wifi, Screenoff... ect.)
I mis spoke above... When I used Con's manual method it updated my HBOOT (not bootloader) which caused the 1. RUU to fail (I was using an older method to rewrite my mainver to 1.000.00.000, or whatever).
I used the newest official RUU which I found on football's sticky'd post in the dev section. If that's missing now let me know and I can hook you up the flash able RUU file.
As for norms, there a a few threads on the topic, but I usually max out at like 125 when playing games or surfing on 3G 4G. That's too hot IMO, but I saw 140 once playing GTA when I was in the same place you are now.

Don't know what to tell you. You can't run the older RUU even if you set your main version back. It will see the newer hboot and fail.
I did not change anything from the OTA update package. I just added root and turned it into a flashable rom. Any problems that you have are likely due the new radios or the new OTA rom itself. Alot of people have had back luck with the OTA rom and new radios/firmware. That is HTC's fault. All I did was simplify the install for rooted users.

i am having the same problem with new new radios and firmware. nothing i have tried has given me the good battery life and low temps i had before the new radios. i really want s-off or someway of flashing the old radios. i was even wondering if ou could add the radio from the old ota to the new leak ruu and trick it into flashing the old radios but i doubt that would work.
Try using Scotts super wipe tool and re flashing the ROM. That's what helped me, I think my manual wipes kept missing things and freaking my phone out. Also reinstall everything from the market, my experience with restoring backup apps on a new rom has caused problems. Anyway these are all just suggestions that have helped me! Good luck!
Edit: since doing the above steps my Rezound hardly ever goes above 100 unless I'm tethering on 4g. And my battery life is good enough to get me through the day on the stock battery

Now that S-off is available is there a easier way of upgrading to the ICS firmware without having to lose root, have bootloader locked, having to unlock bootloader again and regain root?
Yes. Google android community rezound ics leak march 16. Download for both rooted and locked there.

Yes you can, but if you haven't noticed, people mixing and matching firmwares and hboots and ROMs without knowing what they are doing has been kind of a disaster today, since everybody now has S-OFF and is starting to screw around with crap they don't know about. The very fact that you are asking this question indicates that you shouldn't be flashing firmwares, radios, or HBOOTs until you've read up on each and can answer these types of questions on your own. Be careful!
If you aren't already aware of the sdcard issues, what causes them, and how to fix it, then you need to read a lot more before messing with anything else.

Just stay where you are! Your girlfriend will appreciate you much more if her phone just works correctly.. The ICS Firmware and radios are buggy at best and the results so far have been extremely hit or miss. GB is the latest working official firmware and HBOOT, so if you insist on running an ICS ROM, then use the old firmware patch. If you dont know what the old firmware patch is, then just leave your girlfriends phone alone.
Lol, the main reason I took s-off was so that I could get the ICS firmware out from under my GB. I can't tell you how much heat and battery problems that leak caused me! I will *not* be one of the first to d/l the ICS official build, no matter how much I liked actually using it.
haha i know what the ics patch is im no noob, i was just wondering if there was a flashable hboot with the ics firmware

There is, in the dev section there is a thread dedicated to radios in flashable zip format, and you can get the HBOOTs as well if you search. I highly recommend staying on HBOOT 2.11 and GB radios for now though, especially since the phone isn't actually being used by you.

Having f***ed up my stuff mess with radios, I recommed you leave well enough alone. Its not nearly as staight forward on the Rezound as it was on the Inc, and there in lies my problem.
But I learned a lot today! So its not wasted experience.

Yeah I'd suggest you read a little more starting from the leak and forward. I had to reflash several time to get a stable ICS on my phone running the old-firmware patch, but then again I still ran into system problems. I have it all figured out now, and it didn't take long to solve the issue, but I'd recommend reading a bit. Jumping in the middle of development of rezound might be bad choice if you weren't here since day 1. .

I have it all figured out now, and it didn't take long to solve the issue, but I'd recommend reading a bit. Jumping in the middle of development of rezound might be bad choice if you weren't here since day 1. .

I say go for it. What could happen you piss your girlfriend off and spend the next 36 hr's trying to figure out what went wrong. Believe me I've been there. Lol

ok, im kinda embarrased to ask this as this isnt my first time around the block just picked this phone up for my wife.. as soon as we got it she updated it to ICS so its running the latest software from sprint .. ever since this thing has all kinds of bugs like keyboard not working right. random daily shut downs were you have to pull the battery to re start .. bunch of other little things. so i just want to flash a custom rom and man this has to be the most complicated phone to flash ive ever owned. theres tons of threads on s-off , s-on.. hboot this and h boot that, etc..etc.. is there one simple thread on what needs to be done to flash a new rom? is it possible to do with running the latest OTA? anyway , for anyone willing to point me in the simplest direction id appreciate it. :good:

Before you try to unlock, root and flash, try a factory reset. Should delete what's causing your issues but all your data will be deleted
