So tonight I received a message saying there was an HTC update available to update to 4.0 Ice Cream sandwhich but every time I try to apply it, the phone restarts and takes me the HBOOT menu and nothing happens from there. Anyone know what the problem could be?
Same here for the update. Using meanrom. Didn't try updating however. I will wait for the devs. Base shows the same.

Do you have the stock recovery on it? When you went back to stock, did you run the ruu.exe from your computer?

Yes I ran the ruu.exe from my computer. How do I check if I have stock recovery?
when it goes to HBOOT it says

Go into recovery from the bootloader menu and make sure it is the one from HTC, not cwm, twrp, or 4ext. It should be since you ran the ruu, but just want to make sure.

Whenever I try to go to recovery it just flashes the THC screen and then goes back to the boot loader. Could the problem be that maybe I don't have a recovery? and if so how could I fix this?
Run the ruu.exe again. It seems like something didn't take last time.

You're already s-off, don't use the HTC unlock method, you're already unlocked and you dont even have the locked bootloader that is required for the HTC unlock method. Read some threads about how to do this, they're very well written.
Yea, you just need to flash the correct recovery and superuser stuff. Or flash a recovery and then a rooted rom
We're comin from a pure power source.
What recovery should i use?
I already unlocked over htcdev, and relocked bootloader. Had no problem...

Whichever one is made for gsm evo. You can search or use rom manager. I prefer to do it manually though

if you want to go back to stock you have to download the proper RUU for your phone.. relock your bootloader and then take that RUU and rename it to PG86IMG.zip and transfer it over to your sdcard in the root folder... then boot into hboot and youll see the file start to be loaded by the blue bar on the upper right side of the screen...and yes it should install the stock recovery....
Thanks for info guys!
Poor choice of roms. But will stay rooted for a while.

as long as you download the correct version of your RUU there is no risk... download the wrong one with the wrong hboot there is a big risk of atleast "soft"bricking your phone... not unfixable but requires more work...
Got a evo 3D as a present and since I have my s2 I wanna mess with this phone. I have 2.3.4 I unlocked it rooted it and it's s- on. I tried to install meanrom ics but it just got stuck in the HTC logo. Any solutions?
Sent from my SGH-T989 using xda premium
The ics Roms tend to cause bootloops for most phones with s-on, so I recommend getting s-off. The easiest way is to use the wire trick.

You could downgrade your hboot, which is what I did, but that is risky too because you have to purposely soft brick your phone. HTC does not make it easy to get s-off.

Hold on, are you GSM or CDMA?
If you're GSM, when flashing an ICS ROM, you will need to manually flash the boot.img from fastboot using CMD..
No I have the cmda sprint one

I would think that the same applies for a CDMA phone.
Look at the page where you downloaded the ROM, does the dev provide you with a boot.img file? (Usually firmware file)
If so, you could probably flash it manually.
No, it doesn't say I'm trying to flash meanrom ics

Before you Install, prepare:
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.
If you are already running an older version of MeanROM, you should be OK just flashing this ROM without a full wipe, BUT...
If you have any trouble at all, do a super wipe and then install the above firmware and this ROM
Go to "Menu", "Settings", "Power" and UNcheck "Fast Boot". When you reboot or power off the phone, you really want it to reboot/power-off. This can save you a lot of headaches.

Find this in the OP for MeanROM.
Okay I'm s-on and I've learned all the tricks for hboot 1.5. To get meanrom ics running on your 3d, you need to flash the boot.IMG through fastboot. It's the easiest way I've found. In the meanrom.zip there should be a file called boot.IMG. extract that to where your adb and fastboot drivers are. Then cd/ to the files with your adb and fastboot drivers. Next 'adb reboot boatloader' to go to fastboot. When in fastboot, type 'fastboot flash boot boot.img'. then, since you have already flashed the Rom 'fastboot boot boot.img' to reboot your phone.
There are other ways to do flash the boot.img, but I prefer to use fastboot.
Hope this helps

You can use a paperclip, however, you CANNOT do the wire trick unless you are running a stock ROM.
Must be stock Gingerbread.
And, if you plan on using a paperclip, wrap it in some kind of Tape so static electricity doesn't go from you to the phone.
Use masking tape, worked for me.
im running meanrom the gingerbread one and i have a backup for stock can i just do the backup and do it like that?

Restore the backup. It has to be stock GB.
Then you should be OK.
i know i have been around long enough to know this but for some reason i can't think of the answer. i have rooted many phones and am content with flashing roms and thats about it. i have the new 2.89 firmware with the stock ics rom from virus and can't figure out, if i am already s-off but my new bootloader is locked is there a reason to want to unlock the bootloader if i am already s-off? i never really paid attention if it was locked before.
S-off > locked, so you're good to go.

flash Juopunutbear hboot from: http://unlimited.io/hboot-downloads/
The JB hboot is similar to an Unlocked bootloader, but supports more commands & doesn't need you to unlock the bootloader via HTC Dev.
Since you are S Off, you can flash hboots & don't ever need to unlock via HTC dev again.

Hello everyone, I have seen and heard many amazing things about downgrading the bootloader, so I'm thinking of downgrading my evo 3d bootloader, but I would like to have some insights about it, the proper way of doing it, I took the sprint update and automatically updated to bootloader 1.58, I'm running meanrom ics v 2.6, and I used htc dev unlock, to unlock my e3d, as a side note, I must say that I haven't had any problems flashing roms, so far I have been able to flash any rom without any bootlops, so do you guys think that I could benefit downgrading to a lower boot, i hear 1.40 is good, remember that I took the update and I'm on htc boot 1.58, thanks in advance for sharing your knowledge with me.

If you want to flash aosp or GB ROMs, you will need to downgrade your hboot, otherwise, don't worry about it. If you do want to, you will need s-off.
