Help My Evo 3D wont turn ON! - HTC EVO 3D

My Evo 3D GSM wont turn on. After i installed the ota of ICS it wouldn't turn on so i Took the battery off and factory reset it thinking it would help
now it just stay on the HTC logo. the phones boot loader is unlocked, its rooted and i have the revolutionary cwm v4.0.1.4 on it. Right now i have S-ON and i cant find a way to go to S-OFF because all the ways are for windows and im using a Mac. Can somebody tell me how to get the phone booted and running again

no worries
i was i the same situation... u need to put a different rom on your device and it will work.. if u have a GSM version of EVO 3D ill recomend this rom "goo(dot)gl/wuQmp" its king cobra 1.6 it will install even if u r s-on. all u need to do is put the .zip file that u download on ur sd-card.. then all u have to do is to pover on the divice holding the "volume down" and "pover on" buttons u will boot into bootloader there u need to select recovery.. u move with the volume + and volume - buttons and select with the pover on button. when in recovery u need to pick install zip from sdcard and select the .zip ROM file. then the installation will begin

Ok. Other GSM users rave about mwakious GB or leedroid GB. Download one our both of those and try to flash them in recovery. You will have to flash the kernel in fastboot since you are s-on (or use 4ext with smart flash as your recovery).

Does a virtual box such as parallel work? Just an idea to get windows

i had virtual box before but i deleted it so im going to probably borrow my friends pc

What I did was take the SD card out and put it in a SD card adaptor. Then connect it to your computer in the slot

I think the reason is that all the latest custom ROMS require an upgrade to the radio firmware too. Flashing the ROM is not enough to make the phone work.
To flash the radio firmware you must be S-OFF. If you're S-ON please flash a slightly older rom version like King Cobra 1.5. Moreover, when S-ON, you need 4EXT
recovery to be up and running with a single operation. Otherwise you need to flash the boot partition separately, using fastboot (a program you can find on the HTC site which comes for Linux and Windows).
To go S-OFF I recommend the wire-trick method

[Q] Why can't I overclock my newly rooted 3D EVO?

I've newly rooted the phone. I haven't put on a new custom ROM, but surely I should be able to overclock it with SetCPU. The highest frequency I can get is 1188 which is probably the standard clock speed.
Anyone know how to get it higher, without a custom ROM?
Sent from my HTC EVO 3D X515m using XDA
You need an OC kernel for that. And if you are S-ON you can't do that.
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1495657
Follow this thread to achieve S-OFF status if your device is unbranded or vodafone branded then install a kernel like leedroid's, mine is running on 1.5ghz atm.
Edit: You can actually install kernels while S-ON, but I'd get S-OFF if I was you as you'll have trouble when ICS comes out.

You also need a kernel that supports overclocking. I prefer Anryl because in my opinion it's the most stable and the battery friendliest of them all. You can flash it with an app calld "Flash image GUI".
Can I use that kernel with the original Sense ui?
Because all I did was Roy my phone with recovery and have done nothing else.

Yes and no. The kernel has to state that it works with Sense 3.0 if you want a smooth oc kernel try Anthrax, it overclocks to 1.5ghz which should be enough, anything higher will just over heat your phone and make it unstable.

In development section there's a stockist kernel that I've been using recently that can be ocd to 1.7. Has ponury support also..

All you need is a kernal thats clocked at 1.5 you want need anymore then this any higher will result in high battery drain

Thanks for that guys, I will try out a few that say that they work with sense 3.0. I will click up to 1.5, so want battery life and no overheating.
By the way how do I get back to the original kernel if I encounter any problems?
If I just do a nandroid backup then try the kernel, then if i encounter any issues do a nandroid restore, would it being back my phone and original kernel?

If you are s-on, the only way is to use the Flash Image GUI app. If you have problems, just re-load the stock kernel with that app.

or he can boot recovery via fastboot and flash any kernel of his choice.....that's the 2nd way.
and the 3rd and the best way for s-on hboot is to use 4ext recovery and enable smart flash, which will allow him to flash kernels just like S-OFFed phones

what issue are you facing ?
booting recovery from fastboot works on every phone.......and
which recovery are you using ?
I suggested you to use 4ext recovery in the above post , which you can get from www.4ext.net , download and install the free 4ext recovery updater which will install 4ext recovery in your phone...
you can't directly flash kernels from recovery if you are s-on .....
you will have to fastboot boot recovery or use 4ext recovery's smartflash feature if you don't want to use pc

do a nandroid backup with 4ext recovery , then if you want to restore to stock kernel , just restore the system and boot partition.
If you backup using different recovery, you cannot restore the backup with another recovery....
Just double checking before I take the plunge:
I take it that my current CWM Revolutionary recovery will not be good enough to backup and install a new kernel? Is that correct? And that the only way to do this is to use the new 4ext recovery instead?

Your current recovery is good and works well for both S-on and S-OFF phones..... but the only issue is S-on users can't flash kernels directly with CWM , You will either have to use PC to boot CWM recovery on your phone to flash kernels , or you can use 4ext recovery and enable its smart flash feature to flash kernels if you don't want to use PC.
But make sure 4ext supports gsm EVO 3d..
Thanks for that, I will now try that, I'm sure that 4ext works on my gsm 3d because it asked me to confirm the phone model when I first opened the app.

Can someone help me please, I'm getting really frustrated as flashing kernels etc, seems a little more complex than it did with the HTC Hero.
I am trying to flash this kernel, I have S-ON, with Sense 3 and when I use 4EXT to flash the akernel_v10.08.zip it says:
assert failed: write_raw_image ("/tmp/newboot.img", "bcot")
E:Error in /sdcard/akernel_v10.08.zip
(Status 7)
Installation aborted.
So then the instruction in the first post for Anryl Kernel says if you have S-On do this:
•for s-on download boot.img and flash via fastboot flash boot boot.img
but I don't know how to do this. I have downloaded the boot1008.img renamed it to boot.img on the root of my sdcard - but I can't find any option to install it in 4EXT or in the Fastboot (<- i assume fastboot is when you power off and hold volume down and power on - that menu).
Can someone please help?
I don't have s-on but if I'm not mistaken
you have to put a copy of the boot.img into your fastboot folder on your pc. Then power your phone into hboot by holding volume down and tapping the power button. Keep holding the volume button down untill you see the white hboot screen. It will say hboot on the screen to verify your in hboot mode. Then open up your command prompt and type cd then hit enter then type
c:\AndroidSDK\platform-tools\
Then type
fastboot flash boot boot.img
It should allow you to flash the boot.

This is if your S-on
1. Get AMAZE A I O tool 2. get the RUU of the ICS release from somewhere on these forums 3. from AIO TOOL Flash Stock Recovery, 4. from AIO tooLLS Commands - relock BOOTLOADER 5. Make sure you have the PH85IMG_RUBY_ICS_35_S_Sjust PH85IMG.zip and it's on the ROOT of your SD CARD 6. Reboot into BOOTLOADER and it will load this file, it will reboot 2X and you will boot into normal ICS 7. Unlock bootloader again from AIO Tools 8. install 4EXT recovery from AIO Tools 9. BOOT INTO recovery now, which is 4ext 10. factory reset, delete devik / cache and install

go to htcdev(dot)com/bootloader/ and click on the right "Begin Unlock Bootloader"
u will need to register.. imput some random information all will be ok

Now you only unlocked the bootloader, which is not rooting.
OP.
After you did the above, you have to flash a custom recovery and flash superuser 3.x.x for ICS.
Look around, plenty of topics that answer your question.

The only issue with s-on is that the ICS ROMs tend to bootloop for most people. I recommend you get s-off. See the stickies in the Evo3d GSM development thread for more help with that.

Hey, i've got a major problem with the mwakious3Drom® rom, i followed the wrong steps and installed the newest version straight away through recovery, and now when i turn on the evo 3d it stays on the white screen with green letters 'HTC' forever, it never goes off.
i've tried factory reset but it's of no use; also tried restoring it through a nandroid backup i think, through recovery from jus tafter i rooted but it takes long on the 'restoring boot image' part and once that part's done the other things take place except for 'ext-sdcard' or something, ]it still dosen't work and stays on htc logo when turned on.
I thought i may be able to install a different ROM so i downloaded evolver3D2.3, however when conencted through usb cable from evo 3d to the pc, the 'removable disk (j' shows up but when clicked on it replies ' please insert a disk into removable disk(j', it dosen't let me go onto my sdcard so i cant copy the files.
When i go onto fastboot and have the usb connected the 'fastboot usb' does show up on the 3d so there's still hope i can do something from there but i really don't know where to start and i'm afraid if i've bricked it; have i or is it fixable?
Please, please help me, i would be so grateful
edit : btw, i have the anryl kernel 30.09 if this could be helpful.
First dont worry everything is fixable at xda second i will try to help u as much as i can if ur memory card isnt readable anymore , put mwakious 3D rom 11 the base one on another sd card and boot into recovery and do a full wipe and flash it and to flash thr patches make a full boot then reboot to recovery wipe cache and dalvik cache and flash the update i rly dont know what happened to that sd card and if that didnt work search for OTA ics ruu and flash it in bootloader and then s-off that hboot 1.53.007 trust me its easy and its way easier to flash roms and to avoid bootloops
Hit the thanks button if i helped

If you can remove the sd card and plug it in to your computer directly, you can check to make sure it is working properly (and copy the ROM over at the same time). If you can boot into recovery from fastboot, then you can flash the ROM. If not, you'll have to push a new recovery through your computer.

hey guys, i fixed the problem by popping the sdcard in a blackberry and connecting it, afer a while it started to work so i installed the evolver32 rom. anyways it was workng perfectly BUT wifi dosen't work. so i thought wifi may not work only on that rom, however i installed the mwakious3Drom® rom and when i click wifi it says error and theres no wifi connection.. could this be due to me not getting s-off or do they just do that on 1.53.007 ?
I think no wifi is a symptom of a bad kernel flash due to being s-on. So I think being s-off and flashing again might help.

First of all you need to ditch twrp and flash 4ext recovery, especially if u are s-on. Then reflash the custom Rom of your choice, not an ruu.
I'm guessing u meant to say RUU where u said RRI files. To flash an ruu u would flash it through bootloader and would have to have a locked bootloader to do it.

here's a way to return to stock RUU, you need the all-in-one toolkit from hasoon2000
download this file Here and rename it to PH85IMG.zip (this file is for ICS) the older one for GB didnt work for me
use the "Relock Bootloader" command on hasoon's toolkit to relock your bootloader (i received a security warning when doing so, but still worked)
place the PH85IMG.zip file on the root of your SD Card
turn off device and remove the battery. Reinsert the battery then simultaneously hold the volume down and power buttons (to boot fastboot)
Fastboot will detect the image file on your external storage. After it loads, accept the "update" - this will revert you to stock (including recovery and radio).

simple solution
Step 1: Boot phone into bootloader by removing battery then placing battery back in phone then turning phone on by holding VOL down and Power button
Step 2: use hansoons AIO toolkit while in bootloader to flash 4EXT recovery
Step 3: boot into recovery and use 4EXT's to mount your phone to the PC using their "toggle USB storage" feature which lets you access your SD card while in recovery
Step 4: place another ROM on your phone, and then disconnect phone from PC
Step 5: do a full system wipe before you flash new rom, Format DATA SYSTEM CACHE+DELVIK
Step 6: FLASH Rom you placed on SD CARD previously
Step 7: After flashing rom successfully go back into 4ext recovery or download 4ext recovery control, and make a NANDROID backup in-case you fk **** up later or again

and to answer your question you would use hasoon's toolkit to flash 4ext

Well since u are already unlocked and have a custom recovery u may as well try and get a custom Rom flashed since flashing an RUU will require u to relock your bootloader.
So start out by using hasoons toolkit and flash 4ext.

No, not to flash a custom Rom. As long as you were already on ics, then u can flash any of the custom ics roms..

yes you can flash any custom ICS/JB rom as long as your using 4EXT recovery with smart flash enabled with S-ON.. but i'm not sure if there's any JB rom's for the amaze with DATA working, CM9/10 AOKP all have problems with the data , if you want JB you might have to go with JB ICS themed rom.. like Fourth Bar Infusion.. i think Speed Rom also..

[Q] HTC Amaze (Asian) soft bricked

I have HTC Amaze 4G Asian version s-on unlocked. A few days back, I put my mobile on charging. Suddenly I saw it was restarted and then stuck on htc logo. After waiting some time, I plugged the battery out and put on charging again. After a couple of hours, I tried to turn it on but it did not. After making some attempts, I came to know that the battery had been damaged. I bought a new battery and tried to switch on the mobile. This time, the mobile turned on but stuck at htc logo. I went to bootscreen and tried to run 4EXT recovery but the recovery did not open. I tried to reinstall recovery with All-in-one-toolkit but failed.
Then I tried to flash ph85img.zip but it did not work. I tried Mainver Error Fix with AIO toolkit but it did not work. I tried to relock my mobile with AIO toolkit but it was also unable to find the device (driver has successfully been installed and tested).
Now I am worried because I am not able to recover my phone with any of the ways I know. I have also tried HTC Amaze Unbrick Project in UBUNTU but it was not able to detect any bricked device.
The mobile now turns on but does not go beyond htc logo. By pressing volume down + power key, it goes to HBOOT and BOOTLOADER but cannot load RUU flash or recovery.
Please help me how to recover it and make it working.
Hello..
1st of all your Mobile is not hard bricked so you may not try that unbrick project now.
2nd thing I am pretty sure that you're following all steps on that stuck screen.
But to use that AIO tool you must be in bootloader or fastboot to execute their commands.
3rd
To flash that RUU , the file must be on external SD card.
So conclusion is that restart your phone in bootloader/fastboot then try to flash that 4ext recovery.
And then flash gb Rom because you're s -on and having Asian amaze so there is no chance that you have ics Rom.
Download that gb Rom from Asian guide of aj to upgrade amaze in general section. And flash it through 4ext.
Hit that thanks button if I helped you

I tried AIO toolkit while the phone was in fastboot usb mode but it did not work.
I tried RUU with external sd card but the bootloader detected the file and stopped after reading the whole file.
I am not able to run 4ext. I am not able to reinstall 4ext or any other recovery software either.

Rename your file to PH85IMG.zip and place it on your sdcard.
Some times what happens.. That when you rename that file then the file name may like ph85img.zip.zip due to hidden extension in Windows.
So make sure that it's only ph85img.zip not ph85img.zip.zip..
And try again..

I have already tried that. It did not work either.
If your phone is s-on you have to turn on smart flash I'm 4ext recovery for it to work properly, I would just sideload using the amaze toolkit

I cannot go to 4ext. When I select "recovery" in hboot menu, my mobile restarts and then sticks at HTC logo.
I had the same problem first flash 4ext recovery then, use the amaze toolkit and click flash rom it should take you to a hidden section of the phone that will show a black screen and blue htc logo on the screen, you should at the very least be able to go into recovery turn on smart flash and then re flash the rom so everything goes through

To do anything You must have recovery access.. So first try to access your recovery anyhow..
Because without that it's not possible to gain your mobile again..

I have tried my best to access recovery but I cannot. I also tried flashing it but failed. Furthermore, I cannot relock the bootloader either. I am so worried!!

Then how can I recover? PHIMG will not work and 4EXT is nor opening neither flashing. Does it mean the cell has been damaged permanently?

download it and place it in your externl sd card and go to the bootloader and follow the instructions...and hope for the best
recovery
If I am using 4EXT Recovery and I enable SmartFlash, will I be able to flash the ICS RUU on the HTC Amaze International version?

Thank you very much. I was able to flash recovery and 4ext is now loading. However, when I go to bootloader > recovery, it loads 4ext and then 4ext always shows "preparing for boot". After sometime, 4ext restarts the cellphone and its keeps on restarting again and again. I am not able to enter into 4ext menu. Will you suggest some solution to it please?

no you cant flash a ruu from recovery, ruus can be flashed only through bootloader.. and to that you must be S OFF or you must have a branded amaze 4G
