As title says i want to know how to boot my Main ROM, i installed Boot manager and on one slot i installed MIUI, after that i tried to go to my main rom with no success, its still on MIUI, Boot manager is not working properly, when i select boot phone rom nothing happens. Idk how to go back now. Any suggestions are appreciated.
Try two things.
1. Try to reinstall boot manager in miui rom and then try to boot to phone rom.
2. You can flash the update.zip file in the phone rom folder on recovery. Then reboot those should boot you into the phone rom.

ok first even boot manager tells you that you should have s-off for this to work properly.... and it would work you will just have to manually flash the boot.img's to the rom you want to load

@luis4ever
This is correct, you need to fastboot to recovery then flash the phone Rom update.zip. that's the only way for s-on'ers to flash to boot from recovery.

I have been s-off since the downgrade was discovered so I don't know about smartflash but I do use 4ext. And I feel like I'm intruding on wloftus because he has you dilemma figured out, but here's what I'd do. Sorry wloftus.
Fastboot boot "anyrecovery.img" and flash the phone Rom update. You can flash 4ext, cwm or twrp. It doesn't matter that 4ext is installed on the phone, it won't hurt if you boot a different recovery from fastboot. 4ext will still be there when you regular boot to recovery. I've done this many times with twrp installed and fastbooted to cwm.
Edit... You said you reinstalled meanrom, if you had a custom kernel installed to it when u set up phone Rom then the update.zip might not get you back to meanrom. If you had the stock kernel for meanrom then the update should work.

This is what i did:
1. adb reboot bootloader.
2. fastboot boot recovery.img(TWRP 1.1)
3. Install ZIP(MeanROM 3.92 with ziggy)
Should it work? It is installing the ZIP right now
EDIT: It is working. At least i have now the boot animation from MeanROM. It is booting. I promise i wont use Boot Manager again.

Yeah, that should overwrite the boot image that's taking you to miui and get you back to your phone Rom.
For future reference you shouldn't ever have to reflash a whole Rom just to get back to the phone Rom. As wloftus said earlier, the phonerom update just wasnt sticking because you are s-on. I'm sure this can be done with smart flash but I don't know how. Next time just fastboot to recovery and flash the update.
Edit... Dude, boot manager is da bomb. I used it for 6 months with s-on and never had this issue. Just a lil hiccup for you, now you know how to fix it.

It's easier than it looks.
First of all i've been searching for a way to fix this for hours now without a solution.
My problem is as follows:
i installed official miui beta and got stuck with a boot loop, i was running 4text recovery but i wanted to try something different so i flashed twrp recovery in fastboot. however whenever i try to go into recovery now it just reboots and goes into boot loop again, so i cannot access recovery or boot into my rom.
I have tried flashing several recoverys via fastboot but each time it just reboots and does not enter recovery.
i have also tried rebooting into recovery using fastboot reboot recovery and adb reboot recovery but still it didn't work.
i have flashed another boot.img but now it just gets stuck on miui screen instead of boot loop
is there any way i can get any recoverys to work? i have tried looking for a 4text recovery.img as 4text was the last recovery to work but i can only seem to find the app that flashes it.
i have also tried flashing a rom through fastboot by typing fasboot flash zip rom.zip but it just says failure.
i am now downloading RUU_SHOOTER_U_ICS_35_S_HTC_Europe_3.28.401.1_radio_11.77.3504.00U_11.25.3504. and am going to try rename it to PG86IMG and update through bootloader after relocking it and then unlocking it again but i am not sure that will work.
in short i flashed a new recovery but it just reboots device when i try and enter it and the rom i am on happens to be stuck on boot loop so i cannot get in rom or recovery and flashing a new recovery does not work.
BTW i am S-ON HBOOT-1.49.0018
sorry for the lengthy post and also any grammatical errors as i am tired

The whole problem, which is always the problem is you are S-ON. The MIUI rom will NOT run unless you install the newest firmware. You cannot install the newest firmware with S-ON because it is locked up in a partition that you cannot access unless you go s-off.
Has nothing to do with the recovery. I've been using 4ext recovery pretty much the whole time I've owned my EVO 3d and never had one single problem with it.
There are roms you can run with s-on but not the MIUI one.

cool, didn't know that, my problem now then is how can i reflash a different rom, bearing in mind that i cannot access recovery? do you think putting the pg86img stock ruu thingy on my sd and letting bootloader install that will work?

I do believe that if you are s-on, you should be able to relock the phone and then run the rru from your computer.

My next step was to relock it and run the ruu through bootloader, can you do it through computer/fastboot?
Sorry, I haven't been on the forum for a while.
Read the following link,
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1194053&highlight=relock
It should help you with the process.
The rru file you have should be an executable file that the name ends with "signed.exe" if memory serves. I do believe you can run this from your windows desktop if you are using windows. The link above has the adb command to use to relock the phone.
Once you are up and running again, you can install an ics rom even if you have s-on. I am running one but there are a few steps you need to do in the correct order so you don't end up where you are.
Good luck and have a great weekend!
Here is another good link to do what you are wanting to do.

What error are you getting when trying to run the RUU? You need to make sure the RUU matches the base of the rom that your phone is currently on. What were you doing when you started to have this problem?

Sorry I meant to say fastboot, I reset my SwiftKey keyboard because I got tired of fighting with it and the reset made it worse lol
Just download trwp recovery image and fastboot flash that, then pick a rom package and extract boot image and fastboot flash that, boot into twrp and flash the same ROM zip

I'm trying to flash Awesomesauce. I know with HBOOT 1.15 I have been flashing the boot.imgs from ROMs through fastboot. I'm currently on SuperLTE ROM, HBOOT 1.15. Awesomesauce is supposed to have the S-On installer zip built in. I downloaded the S-ON flavor of Awesomesauce 2.2, flashed in recovery, rebooted into bootloop. I then tried flashing the boot.img from the Awesomesauce zip then flashing the zip again in recovery. No luck, more boot loop. I read the Sticky pertaining to flashing kernels for HBOOT 1.15 but I didn't see anything about flashing a kernel that wasn't already inside the ROM zip.
So what am I doing wrong? Do I need to reflash the ROM since I have decided to change kernels? Or am I just a super nooblet and not doing the process right?
Some roms fail on the kernel installer, you should be able to.just extract kernel and fastboot, I don't think there would be any problem after that

I'm guessing fastboot flash doesn't work. You could try to manually place the kernel into the rom by replacing the kernel folder in the rom with that from awesome, copy/paste the contents from system>lib>modules into the same location in the rom. Zip the rom and flash.

Extract kernel and fastboot? Does that mean extract the kernel folder from the Awesomesauce zip and flash that through fastboot? What would be the command for that? "fastboot flash kernel kernel.zip"?
It's the boot.img, it is pretty much the fail safe way to flash a kernel and components. I have yet to have it fail unless I didn't have full access to fastboot

At this point, I've tried Awesomesauce, Enoch, and EvilZ and have flashed using various methods: recovery (with S-On installer kernels), fastboot, Flash Img GUI, desktop boot img flasher. All of these send me into boot loop.

Runs fine for me and it seems to me op is trying to flash a kernel separate from the one packed into rom
Figured it out. My phone won't play nice with 2.1GHz OC. My friend suggested I try the 1.89 flavor of Awesomesauce. Flashed in recovery (S-On Installer Script), boot looped once then rebooted to the ROM. I should have thought of this before.
Yeah things like that slip my mind, sorry I didn't think of that. I even had to check my phone to see if I'm overclocked lol
Eh, can someone please upload the latest 4ext recovery PG86IMG.zip for me? I want to flash a new ROM, but it requires 4ext. The system bootloops so I can't get it the normal way.

Try to flash other recovery , install a stock rom then install 4ext.I was in same problem too
http://4ext.net/ddl/shooteru/recovery.zip
please note this is not a PG86IMG file. you have to extract recovery.img and flash via your pc using cmd. put your phone is fastboot and use this command in cmd

make sure you have drivers for phone installed

Thanks, I'll try this out right now.
Edit: I ended up flashing with fastboot, then installing an older version of the ROM, then installing recovery from the app and only THEN the ROM version I wanted. Apparently the latest version required the most recent 4ext, I'm dazed and confused but everything is working now.
Haven't used the phone for an year or so, restoring some old SMS messages out of the nandroid backup brought up some memories. Now I'll be using it to test my mobile app. Thanks again!
now that you can boot your rom, download 4ext Recovery Updater and update to latest version of 4ext from there
