Help With Boot!
Hello,
I have installed the ROM on my EVO 3D trhough Clockworkmod's latest version. I am Unlocked on HBOOT 1.50. However, almost every ICS Rom I install, INCLUDING this one, when it reboots, it stays frozen on the HTC Screen with the green HTC lettering, and the White Background, and does nothing. How can i get rid of this? what do I need to do? PLEASE HELP!
Moved to proper forum.
With hboot 1.5. Go into fastboot and do fastboot boot recover img.img with whatever recovery yoyr using with sdk then install rom

Get S-off. The ICS ROM's don't flash well with 1.5 s-on. In fact, almost every person who flashes an ICS Rom that is 1.5 s-on has this issue. Getting s-off is pretty easy to do now. See the stickies in the GSM or CDMA development thread (depending on your phone).
Also, I recommend posting questions in the Q&A section when you need help.

Can you please post the link to the instructions or guide? As i said, all i have done on the device so far is gained root access trough HTCDEV.com. So it is just "unlocked". What should i do then? and is it one of these: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?p=24530433#post24530433
Thanks!
Tell me if it fixed it

That's it! I was on my phone earlier or I would have posted it, but it looks like you didn't need me to . I did mine using the method in my signature, but I think the wire trick that you posted is easier from what I have read. Good luck.
It worked great! thanks to all

Hello I will be receiving my EVO 3D soon and I'm pretty sure it has an eng hboot and I was wondering if I should leave it as such or should/could I flash it to hboot 1.4? I pretty much want the same rooting abilities I currently have on my EVO 4G I'm not looking to delve into something I know nothing about...Thank you

Understand:
(all are assumed that bootloader are unlocked)
1.4 hboot S-OFF = you can root like we've traditionally have for years and flash any rom
1.5 hboot S-OFF = you can downgrade the hboot to 1.4 and root and flash roms as will or you can keep it and still root and flash roms as will.
1.5 hboot S-ON = you can still root and flash roms as will BUT you just need to flash the kernel (boot.img) first before you switch roms via Flash GUI or fastboot and that's it!
I really don't understand why one extra step bothers people so much? if your hear, you like the hard way, IF you wouldn't then you would stay stock, unrooted and keep living the normal life.....
I'm not worried about doing a little extra leg work trust its just that I was under the impression that you cannot get true s-off on hboot 1.5. But that wasn't my question I wanted to know if it was possible to upgrade the eng hboot to hboot 1.4 and how or point me to a thread that has that explained. Sorry if wasn't clear from the beginning

There is no soff currently for hboot 1.5. But its real easy if you don't want to use a computer. Just use joeykrim app called flash image gui from the market. There is even a free version on xda. Use that to flash a kernel. Then boot into your recovery and flash the rom. Definitely easy. The only thing hboot locks to my understanding would be radio. Well kernel too but thats an easy workaround with the app.

I have s off but my phone says locked. Is that normal or do I need to unlock again?
I want to flash Scotts new roms and just curious.
thanks

No DO NOT unlock because if you do, you will need to S-on before you are able to re-lock and return your phone to stock.
You need to flash the patched HBOOT for whichever firmware you are currently running (GB or ICS) and the "locked" will go away in addition to full use of fastboot commands.
Or just flash amonra as a ph98img.zip file.... After that just download a rom and boot to recovery and flash the new rom from there.
Definitely don't unlock though... If you do you will always show unlocked or relocked.
I had to s on then back off because I made that mistake and unlocked when it first came out. If you don't use adb commands there's no real reason to switch hboot.

You do need unlocked to do it but when you get s off your phone goes to locked unless you flash the correct hboot

Depends on which firmware you are on and what you want to do. You can simply do the S-off process without flashing the jb hboot to get to S-off. Then flash recovery in your bootloader (use a PH98IMG.zip) to be able to flash your Rom. If you want fastboot commands while still being locked, either use the jb hboot or the modified hboot in the dev section, depending on your current hboot version.
You can OC the phone, but ICS kernels have perflock enabled, so scaling doesn't work great. Options are better on GB.

I was with blackberry for 7 years and recently made the switch to the HTC Evo 3D (gsm). While I love it, the email has been subpar although mostly due to godaddy sucking
I want to upgrade to ICS, but it seems so overwhelming compared to blackberry which i knew like the back of my hand and Im scared i'll brick it.
1) what is the most stable build of ICS for my evo, and
2) does anyone have a link to a good tutorial to flash/upgrade, I want to learn it well
Thank you I appreciate it greatly!!

Afaik, ics still a leak version but so bugless, maybe you'll dind a minor unnecessary bug when using it.. Just in case you find a bug share it to the dev..
Before you're talking about ics for further more, you need to root your devices first in order to gain control of your phone:
1. Unlock your bootloader using htc method
2. And follow the guidance in this link --> http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?p=17250151
After this 2 step, if you wanna still to gain a permanent root in order to upgrade your baseband, radio, firmware etc, you need to s-off your evo, check this link --> http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?p=23379702
Careful for the last one, read it carefully or you gonna brick it...
Hope it helps..

Thanks for the help guys. This is what my phone says currently when I hold down PWR+VOL DOWN:

i was using this tutorial: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1535987
but ran into so many errors. For example, heres a few steps:
2. Unlock your device the htcdev way. Visit http://www.htcdev.com and follow the instructions.
You can take a preview of all the steps in attached zip below.
3. Read this post by flashmaniac, http://forum.xda-developers.com/show...88&postcount=1
4. Read this post by happyhallsy8 http://forum.xda-developers.com/show...58&postcount=1
5. Uninstall the HTC sync application from your computer.
---
well I unlocked it using step 2 no issues, it seems 3 and 4 are irrelevant? But its not really worded or explained well. Is step 5 necessary too?
Now here's where I ran into real problems. I then proceeded to the next steps installing the clockwork mod which worked, i go thru the prompts etc to load the Zips to my SDcard, i then try to install from zip, error, i try to install custom rom from zip, error. I cannot proceed any further.
HELP!
do u need hboot 1.49.0007 for this or what?
mate its because you are still s-on. There's an app called flash image GUI which is what you need, flashing rooms from clockwork mod can only be done with s-off, I successfully gained s-off on my GSM evo with the 1.49 hboot using Revolutionary, its up to you whether you try for s-off or flash roms using the s-on method. Hope that helps.

He's s-off, no need to relock the bootloader, did you think about getting info on the device first before just saying restore to stock? Get his experience level as well, if he got stuck on this, probably clueless on basic stock restoration.

Lol it happens, get used to it.
Anyways on to the individual at hand.
What's your device info? Like hboot version, what android version were you on before trying to flash? ICS or GB?
Here's a basics run down on how to get things going again.
There's a stock ruu/ota thread in the dev section, grab the stock GB ruu for your device, put your phone into fastboot mode (check in the amaze bible thread how to do this), restore your device, if it's a zip file for your carrier, rename it to PH85IMG and place it on your sd card, reboot into bootloader and then hit volume up to restore the stock ruu.
If it's an exe file, put it into fastboot and run the exe file, follow all steps and restore the device.
Once done, update to ICS via the software update option available on your device under settings>about phone>software update
Once you're on ICS, flash a custom recovery via hasoon's tool, then reflash the rom you were trying to flash in the beginning.
Ask any further questions right here.

The purpose of the forum is to get the right info I've seen conflicting points on whether or not you still need to unlock the bootloader after s-off.
My understanding was that once your s-off you don't need to unlock because it bypasses the bootloader security checks. I am probably wring but I was hoping to get a clarified answer with this forum what do think choochoo

You shouldn't have to all you really need to do is flash the ENG Hboot and flash a recovery and then flash a Rom most have root already and your good to go. If you wanna use the stock hboot and only want su permission then you do need to unlock hboot it to be able to flash a recovery and superuser or supersu.

The eng hboot has more functions available so there is a better chance of messing up the phone. Most people stick with the stock hboot since that's good enough for most.

Just got my phone back from the JTAG service and this was the exact procedure. Flashed the ENG boot and then flashed recovery. Bootloader still says 'LOCKED' but allowed me to flash.
I've JTAGG'd 18 DNA devices so far on the OTA update (I do this on the downlow due to specific "developer" who can't understand how to get all phones to take the RIFF JTAG flash software.
Flash ENG Hboot if you want the options available to it, though not mandatory. Install a root program (SuperSU is my recommendation), then flash a recovery.
Immediately backup your current setup, then go for any ROM you see fit. Profit.
