I keeping getting a bootloop on all ics roms and I tried a kernal that someone recommend but it kills my 3d and i get random reboots . Is there any way to fix this problem and install the ROM with everything working. I'm on hb 1.50 . S- on . Or is there a way to downgrade to hb 1.40 but i don't have a Linux . What's the easiest way ?

I also get the same results!
You can always try 4EXT Recovery with smartflash on. It works for both S-On and S-Off

try a superwipe. that fixed mine. Look in the dev forum for it (i think you can find it in the mean rom thread)
You could also downgrade using the instructions in the development thread. Ir doesnt require Linux, it includes a downloadable bootable CD. ITA damn near an automated process minus the brick part. And +1 for 4ext recovery it has features built just for S-on.
My other shooter is an FNAR .308
I already tired a super wipe and my netboot doesn't have a cd drive .

Try using any of Chad.Goodman's ICS Kernel after flashing an ICS ROM
1) DO THIS AT YOUR OWN RISK
2) USE THE RIGHT KERNEL

That the kernal that I already use . It breaks my 3d and i get random reboots

Well what kernel did you use, you could be flashing the wrong one. The other option is to downgrade HBOOT ,, no linux required

I got my ICS ROM to work by flashing RLS1
I doubt downgrading HBOOT will help, he's getting it to work with Chad's kernel. I'm exhibiting the exact same issue with bootloops with the stock kernel(in my case I used the shooter ice kernel to get it to boot) and I'm S-OFF/GSM so I'm pretty sure the issue isn't HBOOT related.
Same here
I have the same issue. I use 4ext with smartflash for recovery. I'm able to flash any GB rom I want, but when I try an ICS rom with a stock kernel I get the boot looping. Is there any other way to make this work? I don't want to dig into the brick/unbrick business if I can help it. I have also tried using Flash Img GUI and fastboot/adb to flash the kernel with the exact same results. Any information on this would help, but a solution would be fantastic!
._. I see what's going on... It's GSM users trying to flash CDMA kernels once again.

What I did was use the new s off for 1.50 and once I got that done I was able to flash any ics Rom I want . Look for it in the development section.

+1 to this. The stock Ics kernel does not do well with 1.5 s-on. Since you cannot downgrade to 1.4 s-off, you should try the new 1.5 s-off method. Otherwise you have to use a custom kernel which is not 100% yet.

Seems like no stock ics kernels like 1.4 hboot period with or without s-off. None would work for me until i updated my hboot to 1.5 and had s-off.

I recommend you read all about it first as you have to connect two contact points on your phone using insulated wire, which sounds kind of dangerous.

The hboot downgrade seems a lot less scary for sure. In all honesty it was ez and took me less than 30 mins but to each his own
What exactly are the benefits of gaining s-off ??
I am confused...i have a gsm evo 3d and some tutorials are of s-off and others s-on ?
What will be the best... i am a newbie at this !

With S-OFF you can flash PG86IMG.zip files from SD card in bootloader (ICS firmware, radio...), also you don't have to always flash boot.img via fastboot after flashing of new ROM.
Forgot I something?

To add to this, s-on seems to not play well with ics. Most of the issues people have with ics not working right or bootlooping come from s-on users. I highly recommend s-off if possible.

Yeah, you should definitely go with the tutorials for S-OFF if you are flashing new Roms, and expertimenting with your phone. For the most ICS roms, you have to flash new firmware packages (PG86IMG.zip), and you can do this if you are S-OFF.
It means if i have s-on i can't flash every rom but if i gain s-off it allows full compatibilty?
Am i right ?

I would say go with S-off. I had S-on and it took so much work to get new roms and it was just a pain in the butt. I am now running revolutionary S-off and am using 4ext recovery so i can easily put on new roms in just a few mins. I hope i helped.
Ah crap i just reported this thread for posting warez by goddamn mistake!
My bad
Keeping on topic: I'd say definitely S-off and there is loads of threads on how to do it. Just have a read through them all and try it out, ask for help if you need it and someone is bound to help

But 4ext recovery is available on s-on !
S off makes it easier to flash roms along with any kernel . Best route to go.

I have two EVO 3d's one is s-on and the other is s-off, both running 4ext touch recovery and both have the same experiance and the same battery life, no extra steps needed to flash roms or kernels..only thing is that only signed packages can be flashed through the bootloader, other than that...no difference.
S off is a life saver. It just is. No matter what HTC does if a dev can get s off for my device. I'm doing it.
HI i'm kinda a noob on this stuff (but learning) ...anyways
I can't seem to be able to get ics on my evo 3d .. it's a sprint cdma version it's got s - off all I want is a kool rom/kernal with the following
i think the problem is that im using gsm roms/kernals (why can't developers put that in their descriptions)
I'm looking for the following features
(CDMA)
I.C.S.
3d camera
over-clocking
battery saver
full beats audio
and some kool eye candy
i tried many roms and kernels but nothing works.. either the phone freezes at the first htc screen .. or it goes to the first htc screen vibrates and then reboots in a loop (i found a few were gsm such as king cobra)
i tried the fastboot method .. clockwork mod...and 4ext.. nothing works ... am i loading the wrong kernal/roms... mabe someone can point me to what im looking for ?
can anyone help me ?
thank you so much

Yes, it would be better if you gave us more details. Such as, what ROM you are using.
ALso, can you create a step by step run down of your flashing process?
Maybe we can see what you did wrong.
The first post has enough information. Sprint is CDMA, King Cobra is GSM. You need a ROM from the CDMA development forum.

Go to the EVO 3d cdma development. The gsm and cdma sub forums are split. I'd recommend using the kernel that comes with the Rom. And no, you can't use any kernel with any Rom.
Just find a Rom that you like and flash it. Don't worry about kernels as much.

If you really want to tweak your system and stuff, you can get the Anthrax kernels (search google). Though you have to sign up to their forum. Also, make sure you read which version the kernel is for. No every kernel cannot work for every version.
can i do this?

ok its a sprint evo 3d flashed to boost
on that link it says -- 1.2.17.651.5 ROMs need the latest firmware. See freeza's all in one firmware update if you haven't done that already. If you unlocked via the HTC method, you know the drill: you'll have to take the OTA and then re-unlock.--
the thing is most of the features i want are handled by the kernel such as o.c / battery saver / beats / ect... thats the only reason i want to change my kernel
heres the question,,, being i originally did the htc unlockr which made it s-on then did the wire trick and made it s-off will i still need to unlock the phone then relock it ..see here is the problem we found that when we did the wire trick i had to reflash to boost it reset the sprint info (at least that what we think happend) ... and this is not an option right now (the guy that did it for me is at school)
is there a way i can install the freezas firmware..anthrax kernel(which it requires) and the mean rom with out having to reflash boost?
If you are already s-off, then no do not relock. I would really suggest you just start all over. Because if you keep on flashing you could mess it up.
Just take thr ruu for your phone version and start over. You may loose root. But i believe you will still be s-off.
Root again then install recovery, make backups, wipe everything in recovery, then install the rom.
By the way you will have to use joeykrim's flashimageGUI app to flash the kernel before the rom IF you are on1.5 hboot. If you are 1.4 hboot disregard.

thats the part i think if load the stock ruu it resets it back to sprint ...also i am on 1.5 but i thought that was the point of going s-off so i i dont have to use programs like flash image gui... (although i have tried it)

Like I said, I think ou should start over. Take the 2.17 ruu.exe. I also suggest you downgrade via the "bricking" method and then root using revolutionary.
If you don't want to do that then, root with htc method. And do not install the boost firmware! Install recovery, make backup, use flashimageGUI or 4ext. And install rom.
You have to do this on 1.5
If you downgraded to 1.4 then you can disregard flashimageGUI
I think your problem is that you flashed the boost firmware. You could have kept the original meanrom and nothing would have happened.
Just start over.
Alrighty, after searching through the forum with no success, here i am for suggestions/solutions
So my evo seems to only boot a small handful of roms. Currently its on Viper4g, previously it was cm 10.1 but that no longer boots. It does work with the stock basedsuperjelly rom.
Ive tried to flash Dirty Unicorn, Carbon unoffical, MIUI and some others but all of them dont even get to the boot screen. All of them either end up sitting at their own boot logo forever or dont even get past the HTC logo when first turned on
My TWRP is the latest(2.5), the roms are in no way corrupted, ive made sure of this. Ive wiped before every install, followed all directions etc.
Also Hboot is 1.19.0000
Whats the deal here? Can i not use roms above a certain android version? (Viper is 4.1, so is Superjelly)
I have no idea what could be causing it
All i know is i want to flash some different roms

The issue is that you need to install the kernel separately from the ROM when you are S-on when running Hboot 1.15 or newer. Many Sense ROM's include an S-on kernel installer to help facilitate ROM flashing.

Hi i want to root my phone but it requires to flash recovery.. what will happen if i flash a bad recovery? Does it brick my phone? Or cause a bootloop?
Sent from my HTC EVO 3D X515m using XDA Free mobile app
No, it simply wont flash as it will probably have bad headers. Even if you did succeed in flashing it, it wouldn't bootloop because it's a different system (area). The only way you can brick a phone is by flashing radios/hboot/etc. Even then, it's really hard to do so. You can check for corruption by testing the ZIP with WinRAR.
I'll give you this advice, also. Don't be afraid. Your device is harder to break than you think. Once you root your phone, you're gonna want a ROM. But then you're gonna say 'screw Sense! I want Cyanogenmod!' Now before you know it, you're pimped out on KitKat enjoying the breeze.
If you need any more information, feel free to quote me and ask about what you need.

Yes, with the HTC Evo 3D, flashing a recovery will not hurt you. If it fails, it probably wont flash or wont boot the recovery. You can keep trying.
ROMs wont hurt ya, recoveries one hurt ya, but bootloaders can. So when you change your hboot, be careful. After the years I've had my 3vo though I've learned it's not very difficult to keep this phone in shape .
