Man....i flashed like 5 different ROMs last night. All worked. Today....tried to put the MeanROM ICS on it......wont boot up...stays at the HTC screen. Tried 5 times. Did everything right cause i flashed the others right.
So i said f*** it. Tried to put it back to the ROM i had...Nocturnal Blackend....won't boot anymore. I wiped everything,,,,,factory reset just like i did last night when i installed 5 different ROMs. Right now.....its on MeanRON...i can see the time....and the battery at the top...everything else below is black. What would this mean?
I have HBOOT 1.50 in case it helps. But whats weird is...it was doing fine til i tried the ICS ROM.
By the way..i have S-On.
When i try to to restore with Nandroid....it just stays at the HTC start up window. Im not sure what to do from here. There has to be some small error that you guys may know.

From everything I've read on the forum, ICS and S-on do not play well with many people. Some people have no problem, but most people get bootloops or the phone boots to the HTC screen and that is it. I recommend you get S-off.

Only weird thing is....i had Blackend ROM on it...then went to the ICS ROM..it worked. I was in and all. But the wifi was showing error. So i did what i did last night...extracted the kernel from the MeanROM with Flash Image GUI....after that....HELL. So..it DID work...i guess it had the wrong kernel. BUT the main thing now is....i cant restore nothing....i have 2 backups....they hang at the HTC screen. They didnt hang yesterday when i was installing all kinds of ROMs. So now...i cant get ANYTHING on it. I still feel its a small step thats doing this. Right now...im in MeanROM i guess...i can see the clock...an the bars...im charging it. But nothing below that. So its more like "What can i do to make it come on below the top bar". I installed the Chad kernel...still nothing.
[Edit] Also..the bottom lights comes on..the 4 buttons...and the top bar showing the time a nd signal...everything between..the whole screen is black.

You answered your own question. Rooting and S-on don't play well.

Hi, my friends revolutionary failed three times, kept saying it lost communication with phone or something in the middle of the process. It only restarted the bootloadwr like 2 times instead of the three or four times it normally does.
The weird thing is that his bootloader says revolutionary and s-off now.... He was able to flash teamwin recovery as well.
Is he all good to go or will he run into problems later? I have never heard of this happening and am pretty baffled by it.

If he has S-OFF and is able to flash a custom recovery, then it means he should be set to go.

Yea, I haven't seen anyone report that happening. I would guess that if it says revolutionary and is S-off, then it should be good to go. Especially if he has already successfully flashed a recovery.
Thanks guys. The only thing I found weird is that he flashed synergy ROM and does not have crt animations. So I wasn't sure if that was somehow related... I know probably a dumb thing to think, but.I find it so bizzare that he even got s-off to begin with.

Same thing happened to my other EVO 3D, but alas, it is S-OFF, twrped, and custom ROMed
I had just gotten home and set my phone down on my desk to go to the restroom (yeah probably kinda personal but whatever) and then I came back to my phone and saw it rebooting on its own. I waited to see if it would go back into the phone and it just kept loop booting after the boot splash screen.
I took the battery out, then restarted it, same thing.
I took the battery out again, went into the recovery, wiped everything, wiped dalvik, and wiped cache, and then installed a new revision of the ROM that I use (Synergy 3Dvo r456). It installed fine, rebooted to go into it, and now it STILL just constantly reboots.
Any ideas? I'm trying different ROMs but I have no idea why it would randomly just start doing this. It literally was from a span of just a minute or so, coming back and seeing it do it. No one touched it, nothing. I've been using it all day today without any problems what-so-ever too.
I would wipe everything and start over and flash the rom again. (Different rom) Have you flashed a different kernel for the rom?
And FYI, this belongs in the Q&A section. Be prepared for what is about to come.

I realized after I posted it but I can't move it myself. I can't delete it either.
I have a bookmark to the CDMA Dev section and forgot to go back to the beginning of the EVO 3D section then to the Q & A section.
Anyway, yeah, I've flashed multiple different ROMs. I've flashed the newest revision of what i was using, I flashed the last revision of Synergy before 2.3.4 came out, and I even flashed the sprint stock ROM. I still get constant reboots after the splash screen.
No I haven't flashed anything lately as far kernels.
Thanks for the responses guys, and like I said, if I could delete or move my own post I would've literally right after I posted it
Also, after each different ROM I wiped everything, wiped dalvik, and wiped cache.

If you're still having those issues I would run the ruu and take it back. Just my opinion but it sounds like bigger issues than just roms.
And people make mistakes, hopefully only the mature members will see this before it gets moved. I would pm a mod and ask it to be moved.

This is so weird. I literally have been using it for a week since I last did anything to it (flash different\updated ROM or flash a new radio) and obviously everything was working up till now since then. I put it down on my desk and come back and it's loop rebooting.
Any ideas what it might be so it doesn't happen again? lol
Make sure if you are S-Off that when you run the RUU you also set secure flag 3 in fastboot. Its in the guide, if you dont go back to S-On you will get a Process System Not Responding, this causes more reboots!
Yeah I just flashed the IMG file and it's still loop rebooting.
I'm gonna set the secure flag 3 now as we speak.
Thanks for the replies again guys.
EDIT: just reflashed that stock IMG zip file and then returned it to S-ON and rebooted 2-3 times max (it wasn't the 5 reboot like it does when removing S-ON and reflashing the stock IMG file). Now it's back into the phone and not rebooting anymore...wtf? Should I still try and exchange it? I bought it\upgraded to this phone <30 days ago so there shouldn't be any question of whether I can or not, right?

Something could have gotten borked when you flashed something, thats why a ruu fixed it. I got mine replaced under warranty like 2 days ago for a reboot issue, phone was bought June and they replaced it with no problem.

It isn't doing it anymore now that it's S-ON, before I returned the security flag to S-ON it was loop rebooting. I'm gonna try and exchange it anyway, that makes me nervous that that happened without me even near it or anything being done to it lol
Lets hope that the sprint techs don't update ur phone thinking it will fix ur concern... They seem to think that an update fixes all issues... Good luck
Unlocked, S-off, running CleanRom DE 1.4...trying to flash a boot animation in boot. It finds PH98IMG, then says it is parsing. And then its back to the menu, no option to install. Any ideas? I've downloaded several different ones and same deal.

Hey,
Like many of you I have been trying out the new sense 4.0 roms as they come available. I usually end up back on bamf's 3.6 rom without issues through my nand backup.
Recently, my phone started freezing up after going back to the 3.6 rom. This never happened before. I tried flashing a new rom instead of using the backup and it keeps happening. Now, any rom I try ends up freezing, randomly restarting, and then after it restarts it will continue to bootloop showing only the white HTC screen.
My phone is s-off running the newest ICS leak. Not really sure where to go from here. Any help is greatly appreciated!
Since this isn't specific to any rom I made a new thread, feel free to move if this is the wrong area!
That's weird bro. Not sure why. I switch all the time between gb And ics Nd sense 4 with no issues. Maybe run the ruu again

OP, All you need to do is flash the firmware patch or proper kernel. Your phone is rebooting when gmail tries to sync, when you press a button that makes a noise, or when you get a notification?
It sounds like your issue is that your running a rom and firmware that don't match up. Just let me know what your firmware version is by booting to hboot with power+vol down
To the guy above that can't flash the ICS leak and doesn't have wifi, I'll help you fix it. That sounds like the kernel you installed and the roms base don't match up, like for example if someone flashed a new sense 4 rom and flashed a sense4 PH98IMG.zip from an older base that wasn't out of the newest rom.
Both of you send me a PM and I'll help you fix it.
Hi I have the EVO V 4g, I rooted it, flashed TWRP 2.2 and when I flash CM9 or CM10 it gets installed and then when it boots I get stuck on the loading screen animation. It keeps spinning and nothing happens.
I can flash my stock rom without any trouble but for some reason I can't get anything else to work.
What gives?!
BTW I tried using Goo Manager too and I'm having the same problem.
Thank you for your time!
You need s-off to flash the kernel, or flash it with fastboot.

A hour after I bought the phone, I was s-off, flashing all sorts of hboots, flashing different firmware, installing different kernels, flashing roms... You are not stuck with what you have lol.
I ran jb for a couple days. No camera was a deal breaker.

And then there's that there's not even a decent jelly bean Rom. Oh well I guess I'll just wait a little bit. No camera or no wifi or no sound. Another thing is that I've never done this before this is the first time I've rooted a phone and I am the kind of scared to proceed. Linux is a bit over my head and to be honest all this flashing ROM s fast booting was a bit overwhelming... And to think that in order to downgrade your hboot you have to technically brick your phone.
Not to mention I saw this guy on YouTube showing how he was running cm nine with anthrax kernel and how it was so great and fast made me want to do that too. He said it took him over a month to do all that...

You could get everything done within a few hours... if you're on 1.40 or 1.50 you don't have to brick to downgrade. Just S-OFF and then flash the older hboot.
CM9 is pretty stable and has everything working except 3D. CM10 is pretty stable, just doesn't have camera among other bugs.
I'm on hboot 1.57. Do I have to brick that or is it the same as 1.50?

If you're s-on, flash the kernel of the rom via fastboot and you'll be fine.
Put the boot.img from the rom.zip in your adb folder.
type in cmd (when phone is in fastboot usb (bootloader > fastboot)):
fastboot flash boot boot.img
exg. fastboot flash boot c:\Users\yourname\boot.img
(my adb folder is in my user directory)
I already spent my whole Friday night doing the s-off. Its done lol. Thanks tho
