hi, can you teach me how to start a fresh flash on this unit? I bought an EVO 3D in hongkong and it has a goapk chinese custom rom and i wanna update the rom and the hboot to the latest if not the best one out there. i used to flash rom on htc hd2 android but i already forgot the sequence coz i think this one's different. can you give me a checklist how to fresh install the custom rom i downloaded? i have Stock Rooted Roms with SuperUser 2.08.651.2 Update (2.3.4) coz i don't like the modded versions, i just need the tweaks and roots, etc.
as of now, my idea is to install a stock rom to update the hboot version, then install a custom recovery, so i can install the custom rom. can you also guide me on what's the best/latest recovery out there?
thanks!

yeah, i know where to find them but i don't know where to start. i think i can install a custom rom right away coz i saw my hboot 1.49 has the revolutionary cwm but i'm not sure if there's a better cwm out there. i also wanna be informed if there's a perfect stock rom out there if there's any coz like back when i still have my hd2, there's a camera issue on sense 3.0 port or sense bug in gingerbread roms, etc.. i don't wanna waste my time reading all the threads here just to learn all that if someone out there already know the answer in just 1sentence. i hope you got my point. that's why i posted in this q&a section.

Doing the research is part of what you need to do. Now I would be really careful due to the fact of where your device is from. Spend a few hours and do the research. There is no one sentence answer. Each device is different a.d can react differently

at least you made a point. my device is gold instead of red. i got it in hongkong but the box is not in english nor chinese (france i think, i'll check on it). it's already unlocked and has custom rom on it that's why i just wanna know directly from the experienced if installing a stock rom/ruu will update the hboot version so i can install the latest cwr, or will it lock my device and/or bootloader. in htc hd2, there are different versions of rom like cwr with recovery 150, 400, etc.. i'm not sure if it's still the same in evo 3d.
What I did......
My device initial status is was unlocked, rooted, customized rom and recovery, S-On and Hboot 1.49.018.
What i did was i downgraded my Hboot version so I can use Revolutionary tool to S-OFF my device(it didn't root my device upon checking with root checker app. Revolutionary tool only has beta keys for 1.49.007 & 1.49.008 so i downgraded to .007.
To downgrade, change the CID to HTC__001. I checked mine using a CID getter app and it was was HTC_027 (France, I think).
To change the cid, use fastboot command (you can download it along with adb.exe). If your device is still locked, "I think" you need to unlock it first using htcdev's tool.
After changing CID, I flashed the official rom PG86IMG.zip with 1.49.007 hboot by putting the zip file on the root of your SD then boot in bootloader by holding vol down while powering the evo 3d on. It will not work if fastboot settings is checked on htc settings.
After flashing, it booted normally(it asked me to setup my device). I downloaded a file explorer to rename the PG86IMG.zip so when I boot into bootloader, it will not extract the official rom again and ask me if I wanna flash(again) the rom, of course i will say no. I booted into bootloader to check the hboot version which is now on 1.49.007. I think the boot loader will be "relocked" too(sorry, i forgot).
I can then request the beta keys so I can use it in Revolutionary tool to S-OFF the device (I have to check if it roots the device too).
The tool asked me if I want to install the Revolutionary Recovery which I pressed yes so I can install custom firmwares(Internet connection required). After the process, the unlocked status from bootloader now says revolutionary.
I powered my device and update Over-the-air but it got stuck to triangle-!-android robot. Maybe because I have the custom recovery (revolutionary). So i flashed the PG86IMG.zip again through bootloader, it removed the custom recovery i installed from revolutionary tool but it will stay S-OFF. I've yet to check the lock/unlock status of the bootloader since i can't restart my evo 3d coz I'm downloading a 2Gb file but I think it's relocked.
After flashing for the second time and booting it again, set it up, I tried updating again through software updated and it updates the device successfully. It adds 3 nice free 3D Games.
I checked my bootloader status and my device went back to hboot 1.49.018 but still S-off.
Summary:
You can always install the official PG86IMG.zip with hboot 1.49.007 to downgrade the hboot version since the CID is still HTC_001 so you can use the Revolutionary tool to install the Custom Recovery to flash any GSM roms you like.
If you have an easiest route to acheive this, please let me know coz I'm not sure if I learn the most recent process or if it's old.

Trying to root using HTC 1.5 with no success.
Hi to all I have tried to root using the HTC boot unlocker with no success. I was using the step by step instructions from HTC evo hacks. I got to the step at the command prompt where I put in the unlock code and I got this : C:\rootevo3dnew>fastboot flash unlocktoken Unlock_code.bin
sending 'unlocktoken' (0 KB)...
OKAY [ 0.152s]
writing 'unlocktoken'...
(bootloader) unlock token check successfully
OKAY [ 0.007s]
finished. total time: 0.161s
The phone screen asking me to unlock the bootloader never came up. Any help would be appreciated. BTW I have rooted at least 7 EVO 3D's. with no problems.
I'm stumped.

See the Guide/flashing Notes in my signature. You need to rerun the currently installed "FULL" Ruu or the the Latest RUU, then the unlock will work.
I did the HTCDev and unlocked it went to thread on downgrade from 1.5 hboot to 1.4 tried that and it did not work. I went to try the wire trick and this is what I get when I try to use the controlbear. the phone connects and goes through process but says the following...
======== ControlBear 0.6 beta for JuopunutBear S-OFF ==========
Starting up......
Connecting to device...
Searching device.....
Found device.....but device has no root!!
Press ENTER to exit.....
Any help would be helpful I have tried superuser but wont install, tried rootevo3dnew, temproot sensation Ect. everything says I need to be rooted.
I am running stock rom that shipped with phone and yes I did updates. I am Sprint CDMA 2.17 rom shipped, 1.5 Hboot. I have flashed roms and modded before but dont consider myself to be advanced. I have done flashing and installing roms with my old HTC Touch pro2 but alot easier on touch pro2 LOL... Please point me in the correct place I have beeen all over from this thread to that one and back and forth and yes I have search threads and I have tried them but still come back to the one with wire trick.. I am 1.5 with S-ON

Ok, let's make sure we know where you are at to start with. When you use the vol and power button to boot to fastboot, does the phone show "unlocked". If not, I think you need to do the htc method again. I have not kept up recently, but I am not sure there is any method other than the HTC method that works every time for 1.5. I have used the HTC method on two phones without a problem, so that is the method I use.
Once you get that far, I used adb to push or flash the twrp image into the recovery section of the phone. Then you should be able to flash superuser via the install menu of twrp. There are threads that have detailed explanations on how this is done.
Yea, I had a bit of a learning curve from my TP2 also, but love this phone!

I am unlocked I did the HTC Dev and unlocked it. I have a stock rom (the one shipped on phone) all I have done is unlock it... I did try the controlbear and got what I posted on last post. I am Hboot 1.5 S-ON and stock rom is 2.17.651.5 HTC Sense 3.0 ANDROID Ver. 2.3.4... Like I said all I have done is Unlock and installed TWRP 2.2 and created a restore point and created a recovery and backed up my phone. All through Goo Manager. That is all I have done.

In my post Ive included a flashable SuperSU zip. What youll need to do is boot to recovery and install this zip. Then reboot. You should have superuser access then.
Still learning this forum so excuse any errors I make. I've spent the last 10 hours trying to fix the mess I created on my wife's Evo 3d. I was able to root my phone and it was relatively easy so I tackled hers as well and have gotten a bootloop I cannot figure out, 10 hours later. I'm on hboot 1.5. I unlocked the phone (using a pretty reliable video), loaded 4EXT Recovery then tried to load roms. Everything worked fine until the rom-loading portion. Since then, the phone loops, but once or twice it made it all the way to the main screen and before I could slide the ring, a read error message appeared next to the bars of service then the phone just completely reboots. Right now, the only thing I can get into is the bootloader and the clockworkmod v4.0.1.4, somehow I lost my 4EXT Recovery. I'm stuck and in dire straights as my wife is going out of town and will KILL me if I don't fix her phone. Please help! BTW, somehow I managed to NOT back anything up (stupidity on my part). Will I be able to get this thing back to stock at least or is it now a paperweight?

Your not bricked by any means. And Im going to guess you tried to boot an ICS rom.. dont. They dont work with hboot 1.5. If you really want to go back to stock run the 2.17 RUU and youll be back to where you started. Another option is to download a GB rom and flash that. Not ICS. If your able to get to the bootloader than you can still load up 4ext recovery so you can flash the GB rom.
Edit: some hboot 1.5 users are lucky and can flash them if they used the correct VM firmware but majority of users have problems.

Thanks, I just tried flashing a rom that has taken it back to stock but I'm still in the bootloop. Should I stop flashing and simply locate the RUU?
22410,
It sounds like the kernel did not flash correctly with 4ext Recovery (next time, make sure u indicat S-on in its settings). I'm not sure if you were just stock 2.17 rooted or not, but use 7zip on your pc to open & extract/copy out the "boot.img" file from the rom, zip, etc you were using and copy it to your fastboot pc folder. Still have the Cwm 4.0.1.4 recovery.IMG file there too right (or the 4ext recovery.img file)? Ok...
- put phone in fastboot usb mode
From PC's fastboot command prompt type:
- " fastboot flash boot boot.img "
(this will reflash the kernel/boot image extracted from a rom)
If your recovery is screwed up:
- " fastboot flash recovery YourRecoveryFilename.img "
(ie: cwm_4.0.1.4_recovery.img or recovery.img, etc as listed in fastboot folder, to reflash a recovery to your phone).
With S-on, to properly enter a recovery for flashing ANYTHING you must:
- " fastboot boot YourRecoveryFilename.img "
(doesn't apply if using 4ext's Smartflash or TWRP's Dumlock settings. But you must have a bootable android OS/kernel first, once the flash is screwed it won't work).
If u have a Sprint CDMA EVO3D/HTC Unlocked & S-on (not Jbear s-Off), then the guide in my signature has more info.
Edit: as NIN said you will likely have problems flashing ICS roms with S-on (hboot version doesn't matter). If u are still unlocked & have a working recovery u can flash any gb Rom successfully after wiping system, data, & cache (or run superwipe zip). Meanrom GB v4.5 recommended.
Sent from my "Up all night, Sleep all day" EVO3D!
Ok,
A little back story is that I very recently downgraded my Hboot from 1.50 to 1.40 using the new downgrad methods that have come out. Before that I used the HTC Dev unlock with S-on, and now I am S-off by way of the Revolutionary unlock method.
I have always used clockwork recovery for flashing since it was the only one that was compatible with phones that were on Hboot 1.50 when I first rooted. I have never had any issues flashing any roms previously, and I have done so many many times before.
I noticed a few days ago when trying to flash the newest version of Viper rom, which I have had on my phone before on 1.50, that it would not flash. It gave me an error saying that the file was bad, and it would abort. I re-downloaded the file thinking it was corrupted and kept getting the same results.
I went on and found yet another new rom that I was intersting in trying that was an AOSP rom. This time it would get the majority of the way through flashing the rom and then fail with a status 1 error message when it got to the step of writing permissions.
Unlike the error with Viper rom this left my phone in a state where it could only boot to recovery since the rom that was on the phone was only partially installed.
The only instances I have seen on here where others have had this issue is when people are trying to flash roms that aren't for their phone, or they have a gsm evo 3D trying to flash a cdma rom. This is not the case for me as I am certain that the roms I am trying to flash are for the cdma 3D, and I am also sure that I have the cdma version.
For some reason Mean Rom is the only rom that will allow me to flash successfully at this point, and even that fails sometimes with the status 1 error message if I try to install it immediately after another rom has failed even if I wipe data/cache before attempting it. I have to reboot the phone into recovery again in order to get it to work.
I am very frustrated at this point considering the only reason I downgraded my Hboot was to have more freedom to flash roms without the extra wear and tear of having to use the computer or HTC Dumblock to get past Fastboot and into recovery.
Anyone have any ideas on this one? Any suggestions are greatly appreciated.
I mean no insult by this question, but have you tried a Modified Superwipe before flashing the ROMs? I usually clear Dalvik/Cache, install Modified superwipe, then clear D/C, then install the ROM, then clear D/C one more time for good measure.
I've also heard the people have trouble with CWM not flashing ROMs properly on the Evo3d. I was using TWRP 2.0 and switched to 4ext (see my sig) and have not had trouble with either. Have you tried switching recoveries?
The old CWM 4.0 something works well for the CDMA when it comes to wipe and flashing..
TWRP 2.0 even the later newer one had funky issues after a few days of using no full wipes to roms flashing funky to themes and icons showin up missing.
Always do a full wipe ..
Hello all,
I am brand new to the android community, and have come accross a problem that I can't seem to get fixed. I previously rooted/rom'd my EVO lte with mean rom a while back. I started to have wireless issues so I decided to spend some time learning/fixing the problems that I'm sure my noobness created.
I relocked my phone and unrooted it back to factory 2.13.651.1. After doing that I updated my phone via Sprints OTA updater. I recieved an update that took me to 3.16.561.3. After that was completed I preceeded to unlock my bootloader again and installed TWRP 2.4.1.0. When I try to install any ROM it appears to go well in TWRP, but it reboots right after it says "updating kernel, this may take a while". When it reboots it sits at the HTC white startup screen, it doesnt even flash the red developer letters under the HTC logo like it normally does when continuing to boot into recovery or the old ROM.
I did some search and have found that others had issues with TWRP 2.4.1.0 (http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2048229&page=573). They rolled back to 2.4.0.0. The problem is that with the OTA update the touch sence in TWRP is broken unless you run 2.4.1.0.
Anyone else run across ths issue?
The solution is probably staring me in the face but my noob aura is blocking it. :silly:
TWRP 2.4.1.0 broke something with flashing so you might have to relock and ruu to get back to normal. The problem is there is no ruu out for 3.16 and running the ruu for 3.15 may mess up your phone. I would try to flash the kernel separately by flashing with fastboot or flashgui and see if that allows it to boot into the rom. You may be able to run dirty racun and gain s-off since the hboot didn't change with the latest update.

On your notes I did some searching to learn what you were saying. First I tried to use the fastboot update 'meanbean-rom.zip' file but it produced errors:
archive does not contain 'android-info.txt
archive does not contain 'android-product.txt
error: update package has no android-info.txt or android-product.txt
I tried fastboot flash boot boot.img after extracting the boot.img from the .zip. After rebooting the phone stays on the white HTC logo screen but now populates the red dev notice. Looks like I'm going in the right direction
Thanks for your help so far.
I believe I have it figured out. I searched for an unofficial version of CWM recovery (all the XDA links for the evo lte have been removed for now due to bugs). I'll deal with those bugs as I was stuck without a phone until I got it figured out
Installed CWM 5.8.3.5 and flashed Meanbean Rom. Problem fixed
I'll put TWRP back on when they release a patch.
*Edit* spoke too soon. The touch interface doesnt work with meanbean due to the driver update (I'm guessing). Atlease I can see any missed calls now. lol
*Edit* Thanks to the D3rps I was able to get my phone up and going again. They had posted the stock 3.16 rom here: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2127947, with *Removed* recovery I was able to flash that rom. Now I just have to keep an eye out for the Meanbean update that will make it work with 3.16 touch.
**Edit** I removed the reference to the recovery I was using due to problems my noob self was not aware of. Thanks to Bigdaddy619 for his guidance, I now realize why no one is using it on the evo lte.
Hboot 2.09
I've unlocked the bootloader and rooted my phone. I'm using the TWRP recovery, and am S-ON. I successfully flashed ViperMOD, but when I got to the start up screen, the touch screen and the haptic buttons would not respond. Thinking it was the ROM, I flashed CM10 only to find that I had the exact same problem there. I'm flashing the ROM first in TWRP and then the boot.img through fastboot. I know it is something software related because the touch functionality works in TWRP but not in any ROM.
Thanks in advance

Did you flash the full 3.16 OTA with the tp.img? tp.img works with TWRP 2.4.1.0 and any 3.16 based ROM but not any 3.15 ROM or AOSP rom. If you did, you have two choices. Either you can only use 3.16 roms, or you can try flashing this: http://themikmik.com/showthread.php?13192-FIRMWARE-S-OFF-1-12-HBOOT-ONLY-Jewel-Firmware-Collection-Latest-Radio-1-12-11-1210&p=286650&viewfull=1#post286650 That is the tp.img from 3.15 firmware and some have reported that it fixes this problem. You must flash this by renaming it to PJ75IMG.zip, putting it in the root of your external SD card, and going to bootloader. Upon request, accept the flash. Make sure you don't have another PJ75IMG.zip file in your external SD card. I'm not sure personally if this works but it's worth trying.

You have to be S-OFF to flash PJ75IMG.zip files in bootloader
If you have no way of flashing the 3.15 tp firmware, your only option is to flash a 3.16 rom.
My recommendation is in my signature below.

I have done all of that. As the next post states, it doesn't work on S-ON devices. Looks like I'll be mucking about with a Linux live CD since I have 64windows and dirtyracun won't run on it.

I am having exactly the same issue. I have successfully flashed several different roms (Charmeleon, UR Evo, Viper) and once loaded, I have no touchscreen response at all. At this point, I want to relock it, but when I attempt the RUU, the program doesn't see the phone (all drivers are installed). I can't get the phone to work so I had to buy a cheap tracfone to use in the mean time. Any suggestions? (I wish I'd saved a copy of the stock rom after unlocking but I thought it would work so I didn't)
Also, I have tried flashing MeanBean (which fails outright) and CyanogenMod, Avatar, and Evervolv (all of which hang out on the loading screen and never progress). I just want my phone back.

Try going back and flashing a 3.15 based ROM. What version of TWRP are you on?
Sent from my EVO using xda premium
Same here... very frustrating.
I've have flashed Viper ROM which installs "apparently fine" until its time to touch the screen. Mean bean fails right out the box and wont install. TWRP works perfect with the touch panel. Also flashed Miklatte and the phone booted to a non responsive touch panel.:silly: I don,t care about S- OFF right now. I need this phone working. Any help is appreciated. thanks.
Im on Hboot 2.09 / 3.15.651.6 / unlocked S-ON.

What baseband (radio) are you on? If you're on the baseband ending in 1210, you can only run ROM's based on software version 3.16 and you must use TWRP 2.4 or newer.
Here is some info that might be useful:

Also keep in mind that being S-on you essentially have to flash MeanBean twice-once to install the ROM, then again to install the kernel.

Save yourself time and the headache, just get S-Off. It's too easy now.

Enjoy.

My radio : 1. 12. 11. 1119
TWRP v2.5.0.0
HBOOT: 2.09
Open DSP- v31.1.0.45.0815
Sorry guys I should explain my case further. I bought this phone from ebay. It was stuck on a soft brick which Bigdady619 helped me get out of. (Thanks again Bro!). So this is my current problem. Phone is unlocked S-ON. It was already on current HBOOT 2.09 and v 3.15.651.6. Now I need S-OFF but tried to do dirtyracun (on UBUNTU live CD) several times and ended with a "failed connection test error " at step14. went to IRC channel and they said is USB related issue. I have USB 2 and Good USB cable. Dont have HTC original but I dont understand why it has to be that one. I'm an audio and electronics engineer and know how USB works. Anyways thats whats keeping me from the holy grail! On the other side I cant flash touchpanel firmware cause Im not S-OFF. I've spent ****less hours on this forums and havent found an answer to the touch screen problem, other than flashing the firmware, which some people with the same problem have done and still no fix. At the moment I have a what seems to be a perfectly working Viper 4G 3.1.5 installed. Its the only ROM that would install correctly anyways. Touch panel works only on TWRP. I will try dirtyracun one more time and lets see what happens. thanks for paying attention to this aggravating problem.
***Update*** I just finished doing dirtyracun process. Problem: Step 14. Enable USB Debugging on your device. Once I flash the RUU ( step 11) The phone reboots to ROM (Viper 4G) with USB Debugging disabled. Due to touch panel issue I cant enable it and finish up the process! Apparently after burning Google down theres no way to enable USB Debug through adb or fastboot. Im stuck!

can i use the older tp firmware to run 3.16 based roms also? or just on 3.15, cm and aosp?

Yes. Old tp works with new roms, but new tp doesn't work with old roms/recovery.
