HBoot 1.5 S-ON
Unlocked
4Ext recovery
HTC Evo 3D Sprint CDMA
Well, I had flashed Scott's latest CleanRom not expecting it to be ICS. So I booted into 4EXT, wiped data, dalvic and cache.
I then flashed the rom, then re-wiped dalvic and cache. Re-booted, everything was fine. Played around with it for a bit, didn't like it compared to my old rom(viperROM Redline v2.5 RC2)
I went back into bootloader, then did the same process as I did with flashing the CleanRom. I now get boot-loops after re-booting from flashing any rom I have tried so far. (Too many to try to list) Been trying to get it working all day.
The boot-loop is the white HTC Spash screen, then the phone turns off, then restarts itself.
Does anybody know how I can get back to using my phone again?

Did you wipe all the way? Also what is your software 2.17 or 2.08 ? Did you fastboot boot recovery.img when you flashed?

You need to flash boot.img/kernel using fastboot or Flash image GUI or else you will face issues if the ROM uses kernel other than your current one.
This is the limitation of HTC unlock method (S-ON)

I flashed the boot.img using fastboot as you suggested. Now the phone is stuck in an endless loop between powering off and the HTC startup logo.
It appears that I am getting closer to fixing the problem but I am still stuck. Can you help further please?
Thanks again!

Thanks for your reply.
I did wipe all the way. How do I tell whether I have 2.08 or 2.17. if the phone not able to start up?
I flashed boot.img using fastboot. I just realized that the bootloader when doing and Hboot tries to load the image indicates no image or wrong image.
I am either missing a step or did something wrong.
Please help!
did you make a backup of Infected before you flashed?
When you say you installed Warm did you install and actually get it fully booted and set up your home screens and all that and it only stuck on the first reboot after? or was it right after you flashed warm?
Really if you made a backup of infected or what you were running before you should be able to restore that via recovery then boot up normal. Then use FlashImageGUI to flash the kernel needed for Warm, then reboot into recovery mode and flash the other portion of the Rom from the custom recovery.
Unfortunately, I did not back up Infected or other previous roms. I didn't know that I should, I only backed up my apps using Titanium. I now know better.
Still stuck in loop mode. I have been searching the forums for some possible solutions but so far nothing has worked.
I am up the creek without a paddle...
kongfooey said:
I used Titanium Backup to back up apps etc. is that the same as backing up the rom (Infected)?
If I had the backup how do I recover using recovery? I have been reading other posts in the forum and have tried some of the suggestions. I wiped the data and cache.

na TiBackup isn't the same as backing up the Rom itself.
Full backups are done from within the custom recovery...
the boot.img you pushed via fastboot earlier. where did you get it from?
Silly me... I realized that Titanium backup was not the correct backup after I posted.
I took the image from the Warm zip file. I initially thought the problem was fixed until I realized that the phone is in an endless loop...
Still looping

well to be honest I would just go back and start form scratch at this point since pushing the kernel via fastboot somehow didn't take for you nor did clearing cache's after the fact.
after pushing the kernel via fastboot, have you tried doing that again, and then going into recovery and flashing the rom again? If that doesn't work you might as well just go back to stock and push stock kernel flash stock rooted OTA, boot up, and use FlashImageGUI to push the Warm kernel then go back to flashing the Warm rom in recovery...
really before pushing the stock kernel if you wanna test to see if your initial push of Warm kernel even took fully just fully wipe data and try flashing infected again in recovery. If it boots fine then you know your fastboot push didn't take before to begin with...
Edit:
before i even really get more into this. does Warm even use another kernel beside the stock one? If they dont then all of this could of resulted from a bad download of the rom itself being flashed...
Sgt. Slaughter, I salute you...
I played around with your suggestions. Got it working... I flashed a different boot.img and it solved the problem. I may have gotten a bad Warm rom...
Thanks again!!!
Note: if you took/installed the latest update (2.17.651.5) you won't be able to use roms based off earlier firmware/kernels (ie 2.08.651.2 or 651.3) b/c of kernel differences (I think I've read that somewhere).
I believe Warmtwopointthree and Infected are not using the latest base/kernel.
Edit: saw you posted right before me. So what kernel/boot.img did you use?

I'm having a very similar issue, I rooted my Evo using Revolutionary and installed CW Recovery and everything was fine so I tried installing ZR3D and part way through the install, my phone turned off and now it wont get past the HTC boot screen. I went into CW Recovery but nothing is working, no matter what option I choose [even Turn off phone or reboot] it gives me the CW logo but nothing happens.
I have HBOOT 1.49.1107 with S-Off
Try reflashing your recovery threw hboot.

Can you boot into Fast boot? If so, try connecting your phone to a computer and flashing a recovery through there. Then try to install the ROM.

ok just tryed a 2nd rom and im getting the same result.

But at this point i might not be much help. If nothing else works you should try returning to full stuck & root your device again.. & no you will not lose s-off if you flash a RUU

Running ICS rooted S on
flashed "Official jb ruu 3.15.651.16 Odex. zip" using TWRP it said it was successful. Went back to reboot system. The phone got to the htc quietly brilliant screen, then went black. I got a few white bars to pop up on the top of the black screen then nothing.
I then went in and flashed "boot img flasher v1.2 jb.zip" it failed until I cleared the D-cache, then it passed. Back to the reboot screen. reboot system and it did the same thing.
I then recovered ICS and rebooted and the phone is back to the old system
What am I missing?
Would it be easier to take the OTA version and then root to S off?
I've never bothered with RUU's but if I'm not mistaken you have to re-lock your bootloader and run the RUU through the bootloader, not recovery.
With some of the threads popping up about people having issues with the new JB RUU, you might be better off finding a rooted JB ROM, like MeanBean, and run that, instead. You'd be better off getting S-off, then upgrading.

If you're s-on, retry flashing...(wipe everything and start over)..you're gonna have to flash jb Roms twice (as long as they are the zip format ones to my knowledge)...s-on is causing the kernel to take 2 flashes to install....first flash will install the kernel and then after that is successful, reflash without wiping anything and the Rom should boot....its a known procedure/hurdle for s-on users...hope that explains the bootloop. Let me know if it works...

This is true with MeanBean due to how the kernel installs. You have to basically flash the ROM twice when you're S-on. Some ROM's have a S-on kernel installer, while others don't.
I still say get S-off, upgrade your firmware and install a rooted JB ROM.

Thank you both, I'll give that a try and see what happens. I wished I could have found that info earlier Been reading and messing with this phone for Hours.
Umm boot img flasher is a windows program that you run on a windows pc. You have to extract all the files out of the zip. NOT flash it on your phone. What hboot do you currently have?
Nope still not there. I tired flashing the rom 5 times and although I got to the second HTC quietly Brilliant screen, it still just goes black. I think I'll look into the dirty racun or lazy panda since I'm still at 1.12 h boot.

Did you do a clean install wiping cache/del cache/system/ factory reset then flash the rom?
What version of twrp are you using? v2.3.3.0 is the latest version
Btw RUU's are .exe files not .zip files AFAIK
Since you're on Hboot 1.12, flashing the kernel separately isn't an issue like it is with the newer Hboots. That being said, it sounds like your issue lies elsewhere. Make sure you've got a good download (verify MD5 checksum) and make sure you wipe properly. For me, I'd wipe cache and Dalvik, factory reset and wipe system (this will wipe your current ROM from your phone), then flash the new ROM. Once you've flashed the new ROM, don't wipe anything in recovery, just go ahead and reboot. I'd definitely look at going S-off, as already stated.

That's about it. Make sure your wiping System, both caches and doing a factory reset. Unless your flashing a ROM like Viper that you can choose to let the Aroma installer do the wiping for you. Good luck!
