kernels not installing can someone help me? - HTC EVO 3D

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

What hboot are you using?

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.

yea some were gsm i guess

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?

I wanted to put this on but if i have a delema .. http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1466362
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)
i a little confused

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.

You need to flash chads rls 1 kernel, from what ive read its the only way to get booted on HBOOT 1.5
can u send me a download liink please
you're honestly better off not flashing that Kernel. you need true S-Off for the real ICS experience. that kernel will make everything laggy/buggy and charging will not work while phone is on, as well as random resets AND 3D/4g will not work.
One of the main reasons I decided to S-off is to use the stock Linux 3 kernel on ICS and EVERYTHING works flawlessly so far! look in the development section for jopounutbear's S-off guide, should be on the first page. took me a couple tries but it's worth it. Truly made me feel like I got an early upgrade and a new phone!
If you S off with that trick, PLEASE read the entire thread. Also, try 4ext as your recovery and see if if you can flash ICS roms with it. While some the majority of people were able to use the wire trick successfully, some people were having lots of issues as well.
Personally, 4ext recovery worked beautifully for me and the wire s off method was a nightmare. Best of luck to you!

The problem is not your recovery Chads Rls 1 kernel will break 3d but 3g and wifi are good. The only way around it is to downgrade HBOOT then you wont have to flash rls 1, the stock ics kernel is fully functional

An unlocked bootloader is NOT s-off... I HIGHLY recommend you downgrade or to gain the True s-off . Installing an ICS Rom on an unlocked bootloader just means your lazy. It's like eating an Artificial ice cream sandwich. AKA not original, changed. Not as good. I don't know.

[Q] Getting ics roms working ?

Ok please forgive I am a noob with half a brain lol. My ? is (is there a way to get ics roms working with out using chads kernel?) I do give credit tho he helped a lot out. I love the ics roms and went back and flashed gingerbread and it wasn't doing it for me lol but would like to get the ics rom working without having to flash it with a different kernel. I would like to see how these roms are with the kernels they come with. I have a htc evo 3d cdma 1.5 h-boot s on. If anyone would take the time to give a noob a hand in this matter or direct me in the right direction I would be very grateful. I have read the treads and just am not getting how to do a few things if pointed in the right direction I'm sure I can figure it out.
1. Downgrade to hboot 1.4 s-off (my recommendation).
2. Switch to 1.5 s-off.
3. Flash using 4ext which should flash the kernel properly.
The reason I recommend #1 is because 1.4 s-off people seem to have the least problems with bootloops.

I agree with the downgrade to 1.4 S-Off. I'm not 100% sure about switching back to 1.5 (doesn't really matter as long as you're S-off anyway).
The main issue people were having was the firmware (adsp.img).
Chad had a test where he made the updated adsp.img file, and people were flashing it and reporting success on flashing ICS roms.
You can only flash if you're S-Off, and I'm assuming you're talking about the Sense 3.6 roms.
Check his androidfilehost for the file, I believe it's still there.

[Q] Anthrax Leak Kernel Problem

Im S-ON So When I Try To Flash A ICS ROM I Also Have To Flash The Rls Kernel.

CDMA or GSM? What are you using to flash? What rom are you flashing? and why are you using that kernel? It's a little outdated...

Have you set up 4ext to know that you are s-on? I thought since that option is there, there is no need to flash a kernel separately? I'm not to sure as I am not s-on. And I don't think there is another kernel right now. but most ICS roms run best on the stock kernel for now.

I Have, Just Wasn't Sure I Wanted To. Have You Tried One Of These? And Thanks.
No I have not, I've been unlocked since the beginning. I know the downgrade method is fairly easy now, but still tricky. The Juopunutbear I hear doesn't require you to downgrade. So I'm not sure, just read up on both threads and see which you are more comfortable with. If you don't want to, I'm sure someone else will chime in and give more advice on your current problem.
I've tried the hboot downgrade and its was so much easier than I'd expected. After finding the right files for my phone, the whole process took me about 20 mins. Hardest part was pricking the phone LOL. After that it was just load closeones's toolkit, and it pretty much does the rest of the work for u. Just read the guide 4x and watch some YouTube view beforehand.
I did a lot of reading and read 1000x diff guides on how to flash and used so many diff flash method to het my phone out of bootloop. So by the time I got fed up and decided to downgrade, i had some decent flashing experience.

My buddy and i were one of the first among to attempt the bricking method
(scary as hell at first) and it was actually very simple. And i say first because we had only seen a few who had officially posted about it i could be wrong lol my laptop if dual booted with Linux so all i did was set up my other computer and ran the first set on that one, then ran the linux part on my alienware. The worse you can do is brick it- but then again thats what you want. I accidentally upgraded my firmware and now im 1.5 S-OFF lol doesnt bug me at all but my wife's 1.4 S-OFF as soon as mine was done. just read, read, READ before you attempt it and make sure you have every code written down or copied and its cake man! no shame in trying

New EVO 4g LTE user

Hi guys I am a new and very happy EVO 4G LTE user. Got my phone almost 2 weeks ago. Its a very sexy device.
But I am wondering if I am using my phone to its full capabilities. I haven't rooted or install any rom , but I am familiar with installing roms. I did it to my Evo 4G. I am no expert I id go through a bit of trouble to get it right.
I want to know what are some MUST HAVE things for this phone. Ive read about google now and I would love to be able to use an app like that. I think I have to install a rom for that and i am willing to do it. I am a bit scared to do the rom and flash a rom because I dont want to mess it up. Its running so nice right now. But if anyone is willing to help me and guide me in the right direction so I install some cool stuff and most important something that is well made. I want to see if you guys recommend me some roms and maybe a guide on how to root it and install roms and do it all correctly.
Thanks in advance and if you can post some links to maybe youtube vids that would be greatly appreciated.
Rooting is pretty straight-forward. It just depends on what hboot u have. Zedomax's root method is preferred to htcdevunlock, but if u plan to s-off the difference is minimal. Sorry if this is confusing. Do u know your hboot version? To find out turn phone off, then when turning back on hold down power and volume down until screen pops up. Look for hboot version # and remember that.
As far as a good stock starter rom with google now and multitasking fix I'd go with flex 360's stock w/ goodies. It has the beauty of sense but with the better battery life and speed of a custom rom. Actually haven't found a rom I like more since I left the og EVO.
What is the difference between s-on and s-off? What are the pros and cons of each on.

The difference between son and soff is that soff gives direct write access to the partitions. Son does not allow you to flash the kernel unless in recovery or flash any firmware updates. There is a downgrade toolkit being worked on and it's looking good from all the talk going on in the thread.

if u and up rooting and flashing a rom try mean rom!! :good:
If you hadn't quoted I wouldn't have caught my typo lol
Speaking as a noob my self.. if you really want ot root your phone.. listen to the folks on this forum .. they are extremely knowlegable and have helped me out of a couple of jams .. and just read alot.. this forum.. and any thing you can get your hands on
Viper rom is the best customizable rom and battery life is getting up there (currently challenging viper and awillis!) Meanrom most stock rom ever and its mad fast (version 4.8) stock with goodies aka flex360 rom is focused on multitasking and before that it was smoothest stock rom and was a deep sleeper (havent tried the recent version). Cm10 by deck is best aosp version of jelly bean (4.1) still a nightlie build but its daily driver worthy. These were the roms ive flashed and ran the past week.. i kept switching, hard to stay on one cause all of them are amazing. I personally flash for fun and to try the stuff that the devs have given us. Choose whatever fits u and satisfy u. Dont forget these are the devs choice to give us, so take what we have! Im sure there are other roms that r good its just i havent ran them cause theres too much but kudos to any devs that take their time on building a rom for us.
Btw Plz dont bash on my opinions im just saying

No issues with WiFi or 4g at all. Every rom has some little things wrong with it, but no more than stock does.
U want to use the htcdev unlock method to root. It's really easy, just follow the directions. I don't have the link since I'm on xda app. Just search EVO LTE forum for root. It's possible that the regawmod root method will still work, but they both use the htcdev unlock.
Also, flashing roms is going to be different than og EVO. U need to flash kernel separate from rom using flashGUI or adb tools via fastboot. Unless u decide to go s-off, then u can flash rom like you're used to
I'm running cleanrom 1.5 and I love it! I rooted mine in July so I'm sure there is a whole new way to root it now. But soff is pretty awesome. There are some great kernals out there and they can do wonders for your speed and battery life.

Search zedomax root method for root. Then lazypanda for s-off. Just follow instructions to a T and u will be fine.
U lucky bc 1.12.
Another new user here. I'm rooted but everything else is still stock. I've got HBoot 1.12 so it sounds like S-OFF will be easy. After that do I need to update the firmware and/or radio or can I go straight to TWRP recovery and try out custom ROMs?

U can go straight to twrp now and flash roms all u want. Ur rooted and have hboot 1.12, so just install rom from twrp and ur good. If u had 1.15+ then u would have to flash the kernel seperate, but no need to worry about that.
If u want s-off u should probably just go straight from root to lazypanda since the closest thing to stock works the best. Just make sure u read everything u can and follow directions exactly and u will be fine.
As far as flashing radios u can do that, but go s-off first so u don't have issues here. S-off allows u access to all partitions on your phone. 1.12 is good on access as well but just not as much as being totally s-off.
Make sure u flash radios properly, never downgrade or u will brick most likely. Follow captain throwback's radio thread for further in depth tips.

[Q] S-Off Clarification and ROM advice

Hi, I rooted last night.
I'm boot unlocked.
S-ON
TWRP 2.6.3 (updated by Goo Manager)
SU User 1.8.6
Unlock took me down to 4.1.1
I tried to flash the most recent CM ROM in Goo Manager after a dalvik cache wipe and got stuck on boot. Is this likely because I'm S-ON or because I didn't use the right type of wipe?
Also, I know the MikMik ROM was the gold standard for a clean, lean and stable ROM without many bells and whistles on OG EVO. What is the equivalent for LTE/jewel? And so I need S-OFF for it?
Thanks in advance!
You have to flash the kernel separately from the ROM when S-on. Having said that, you don't have to be S-off to flash a ROM, but, as easy as the process is, it's worth it to be S-off. Take a look at the top link in my sig for more info. As for ROM advice, just start flashing until you find what you like. If you ask ten different people what their favorite is, you'll likely get ten different answers

Thank you!
Thank you. I was finally starting to understand that I would probably need to S-Off so I could flash the kernel for a ROM other than one that uses a stock kernel. I was just hoping to avoid it, because I usually know just enough to be dangerous to my electronic devices...
I'll be sure to check out Mean Bean.
Mean Bean actually has a kernel installer to make flashing while S-on easier. Just make sure you read the Mean Bean OP so you follow the correct steps to get it installed properly.
