cm9 and cm10 stuck on frozen boot animation - HTC EVO 3D

I havent had any luck installing cyanogenmod ics roms, it either doesnt let me past the splashscreen or starts to boot, then the boot animation freezes. However the phone runs sense ics roms just fine. using ext4 recovery, hboot 1.58, s on

You can't flash the CM Roms with that hboot. It will always bootloop. I recommend getting s-off so you can downgrade your hboot.

I believe you have to wipe all the data when it tried installing CM9 without wiping data from my previous sense rom it got stuck in the boot animation ( Boot loop ) But if that wont work it probably is because your S-ON even though its strange when i was S-ON i could run CM9 perfectly but go S-OFF it takes some hard work and time but its very rewarding later

I suggest flashing the stock rom and then trying to flash cm9 again now that you have s-off. Make sure to clear data, cache and dalvik

I was able to downgrade to hboot 1.4, and keep s off. Now my stock rom backup wont boot I guess i need to choose one or the other.

The problem is the stock ROM uses the new kernel which requires hboot 1.58. Flash a custom ROM that uses the VM leak kernel. Try MeanROM, Homebrew, d3rp, and / or ZR3dX. That will get your phone booting (hopefully), then go from there.

If you using superwipe, dont use it or you will get bootloop
Make sure you format all partition except sd card after change hboot

The way I see it, bootloops of the kind can have a couple causes:
Ur S-on and/or your hboot is too high
you didn't clear cache/dalvik/data
your kernel and hboot don't agree with eachother
solution:
Htcdev to get S-off
downgrade hboot
install custom recovery (if not alrdy present)
install custom rom

ICS ROMs Give Me Bootloops!

I have tried to flash both Mean ROM ICS and viperROM ICS, but all i get is bootloops. I get to the main screen but all it does is reboot and say Android is Upgrading. BTW: S-ON HBOOT:1.5 Recovery:4EXT Smartflash ON
This is how i flash a ROM
1)From Fastboot boot into 4ext Recovery
2) Install Modified_Superwipe
3)Install the ROM
4) GET BOOTLOOPS!

Hm. Maybe just try manually wiping everything from recovery instead? I never use superwipes and as long as I factory data reset x2, wipe cache/dalvik x2, I never have issues. That's just how I've done it on all my phones and I never have issues.
I just flashed Newts One S RC3. It took me a while but I finally found a method that worked. I did it once and got through set-up and was in play store downloading apps when it went into boot loop. I tried the same method again and it didn't work. I messed around with different methods for a while before getting the following to work.
What I'm using:
HTC Unlock method
Hboot 1.5
S-on
cwm recovery 4.0.1.4
I used a computer to fastboot to recovery. Did factory data reset, wipe dalvik, and cache all x2. I installed the .zip rom file from SD card. And then installed the .zip anthrax ics RLS5 kernel file from SD card. Then I rebooted and so far everything is working fine. I've been running it for a couple hours now. I manually downloaded my apps one by one from the play store for fear of repeating what happened to me the first time. And I've just finished signing in to everything I use and haven't had an issue yet.
I hope this helps.

Yes i herd about this but have you tried charging or connecting your phone to a computer, many people can't charge or connect to computer via USB because of this kernel
Idk before I sent my phone in a had been using that kernel. I had no trouble charging/connecting. But really what it comes down to is every one of these phones is different, then you throw in the hboot and other key factors and it just gets worse.

Turn off smartflash if you are s-off you dont need it.
Then flash chads htc leak rls1 kernel, that stopped all the bootloops and problems for me its something about the stock kernel i am guessing. Everything worked fine after using that kernel. Anthrax rls5 says not to use it with sense 3.6, its right on androidfilehost. Chad said to use the leak rls1 instead for sense 3.6.
boot loop
wonder why every sense 4.0 ics rom i try to flash to my htc evo 3d... it always boot loop, i done tired everything everyone told me and the same thing happens.. only thing that really works on my phone is gingerbread... any suggestion??? really would appreciate it...

In my case I can't get any ROM based on the leaked RUU to boot unless I changed the kernel, this applies to both 3.6 and 4.0 ROMs. I don't know if you're GSM or CDMA but I know the kernel from Shooter_Ice works for me which is a GSM ROM. I can flash that over just about any ROM and it works or I can install the ROM straight up and it works to. If you're GSM, try that, if you're CDMA then look for a similar ROM that isn't based on the HTC leak.

ICS ROMs bootloop if you are Hboot 1.5 S-On (which you are if you unlocked via HTC). I recommend you get S-off using the wire trick or downgrade to 1.4 S-off. See the stickies in the CDMA Development section (or GSM development) to find information and steps on how to do it.

+1, go s-off and you can flash anything you want
Loop FIX
Sometimes you will get boot loops even with 4ext.
One thing that I have found which works is flashing mean ROM 2.4 ICS as a base.
This ROM probably will not boot or will get stuck in a boot loop but that is fine in this case. From there on use 4ext to complete a "dirty install" of another ICS ROM. I recommend SOS De-Sensed Rom. Sometimes flashing a ICS ROM on top of another ICS ROM (booting or non booting) allows for install.
to bypass all the bs go straight to fastboot and flash 4ext recovery 1.00.5 and do the s off wiretrick and then try to flash the rom... when you get s off it releases more permissions for the kernel to flash to the rom without having to use flash image gui from joekrimz
try this
ok you need to flash the boot.img file trough the bootloader, if that doesnt work try flash image gui
Flash custom rom then pull out your battery, go to fastboot then try flash this boot.img with fastboot http://db.tt/kEUVhnvV

You need to downgrade ti 1.50 or lower.

ok just tryed a 2nd rom and im getting the same result.
Thats strange. im wondering if flashing a different kernel might help..
But at this point i might not be much help. If nothing else works you should try returning to full stuck & root your device again.. & no you will not lose s-off if you flash a RUU

Flashed ROM with TWRP... phone not booting.

Just flashed my first ROM (newest CM 10.1 nightly) with TWRP and everything seemed to have gone well but when I hit "Reboot" the HTC logo flashed for a second and then the screen went black and it's not doing anything. Been like this for 10 minutes.
I already rebooted back into recovery and reset the phone and cleared the caches and flashed the ROM again. Same thing.
Anyone know what's going on?

You most likely need newest firmware if I'm not mistaken. You really need to s-off your phone. Then you won't have all the difficulty your having. Otherwise, you need newest firm ware...

This is because you have the newest touch panel firmware. It only works with roms based off of 3.16...currently no aosp Rom will work for you unless you s-off and downgrade to the 3.15 panel firmware. This is my understanding anyway. Flash a 3.16 sense Rom (viper, meanbean, etc) and you'll be back in business.

Try getting a copy of cwm (not the touch version) and flash it via the fast boot method. Use the volume rockers to move, camera to select, power to go back.
It'd be easier to just ruu back to stock and start at square 1. Doesn't take that long to root and s-off anymore. Dirty racun would probably still work too.

Yeah, if you wanna run ANYTHING other than a sense 3.16 ROM, you're gonna HAVE TO S-off so you can downgrade that damn touch panel that came with the 3.16 update (thanks HTC :banghead
I thought the latest twrp was compatible with the updated TP now, though. What TWRP version you using? If not, as stated above, finding non-touch CWM recovery sounds like only/best solution. That was a good idea. Last I heard (long ago), CWM for this device breaks your /misc partition. Viperboy used to have it posted in the old viper thread so you could repair /misc. Not sure if it's still there.
Good luck.
From my Evo LTE, yup.

[Q] Not able to install Any Roms anymore

Hi Guys,
I'm not new to flashing roms. I've been flashing since the Evo 4G. Currently with my EVO3D, I've had no issues. I was on an AOSP rom (PACMAN and CM 10.1) and I wanted to try a few sense roms. I've tried CoolRoom and stock with no luck. I was able to install Butterz Sense. But now I have a problem, now I can't install any roms at all.
I have tried clearing cache and factory resets.
I've tried changed the HBOOT, I started with 1.5, I went to 1.4, 1.3, now i'm at 1.04 i believe all with no luck. I end up going into a bootloop with all roms.
My current config:
Hboot 1.5
S-Off
4EXT Recovery Touch RC9
Roms I've tried that failed:
PACMAN
CM 10.1
MIUI
COOLROM
Stock
RUU install
Other things I've tried
HBOOT 1.5, 1.4, 1.3, 1.04
TWRP recovery
Fastboot install boot.img

Butterz Sense
Any help would be great since this is such a bizarre case.

Oh man... That is weird... Did you try superwipe? Some say it doesn't do anything special but it helped me get some leftover scripts wiped
Running out of ideas here...

I'll give it a shot and give an update.
You and me both... I'm banging my head on the wall trying to figure this out. At least i'm not bricked out without a rom that works. I'm fortunate Butterz works for now. But I would love to get back to PAC for CM...
Hopefully will be able to get a new phone soon, but until then I have to live with this. Will post back soon.
No Luck... Anyone else have any idea???

Here's a long shot
Copy your sd card to your comp, repartition it using recovery and then try again

You know... I was thinking something similar. I was thinking maybe I should use a different sd card. I have a 32 gb sd card at the moment. I might go home and use my 8 gb card. See if that makes a difference and repartition it!
Let me see.

Surprise surprise.
I just installed the latest RUU.. That booted up fine. I was still S-off but now hboot 1.58. I just flashed recovery on and tried to flash MIUI for shiggles and its working.... I'll have to try some more roms later tonight to see if its a full recovery or just a little teaser.

Download Hboot 1.4 from the following link. http://androidforums.com/cdma-evo-3d-all-things-root/648902-radios-hboot-firmware-all-downloads.html
Put it to the root of your sdcard and rename it it to PG86IMG.zip
Reboot into the boot loader and it will load the zip. I believe you need to be s-off to do this. If you are not, then do the wire trick (do a quick search).
That should do it for you.
Let me know how it goes.

[Q] Stuck in bootloop (unlocked/rooted/s-off)

Hello all, and thank you for taking your time to attempt to help me with my problem.
I could not find a solution even after hours of researching and trial and error, so please forgive me if this happens to be one of those problems that are seemingly impossible to solve, when the actual solution is really quite simple! I'm hoping it is at the very least...
A few days ago I received an HTC Evo 3d from a family member.
I'm certain that the phone was completely stock, never rooted, no custom ROMs ---- just an ordinary HTC 3vo.
So I decide that I'm going to go ahead and find the steps necessary in order to flash a custom ROM, and I believe I did with this:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1889438
I followed the guide, and eventually got to "***Step3: Perform JuopunutBear (wire trick) to get S-OFF status" where I had a little difficulty with the timing of the taps on the SD card. At one point I removed the battery from my phone because I thought it was stuck on the screen with the green arrow pointing downward, and after trying to reboot I found that the same JuopunutBear screen with the green arrow was still there.
I removed the battery once more, but this time when booting I held the volume down button to initiate bootloader. That went successfully, and so after trying the methods I found at http://unlimited.io/jbtroubleshooting.htm to remove this screen, I figured that I might try and flash a ROM from recovery and maybe that would fix it?xD My logic proved only half correct because even after formatting data/cache/dalvik, and then flashing a few different ROMs (not in the order of course) to see if any of them would allow the phone to boot up completely into OS, the phone is now stuck in a bootloop :'(
If I didn't provide enough information in the above description then I'd be glad to give any more details.
My bootloader reads like this:
- Juopunutbear -
SHOOTER XC SHIP S-OFF RL
HBOOT-1.57.5757
eMMC-boot

^ Never noticed that the date is inaccurate before typing all of this out! Not sure that has anything to do with my problem here, but still interesting..
Thank you again for taking your time to help me.
This phone has given me trouble since it was first given to me lol.
The first issue before rooting or anything was with the inability to use wifi!
I ended up having to buy service for the phone to even register my Gmail account..
You're in good shape
With s off you can recover easily.
The question is what do you want to run?
If you're going to stay ics sense, then you'll just need to format all partitions except sd and flash a Rom
If you want to run a jb Rom, you need to downgrade your hboot to the jbear 1.50

I think the date is the release of the bootloader or something...shouldn't be today's date

Thank you for the reply
I'll try flashing different sense ROMs specifically,
and see if it will boot all the way through to the home screen.
Have you installed a recovery?
I suggest 4ext
Sent from my PG86100 using xda app-developers app
I have installed a recovery, and it just happens to be 4ext!
I've been installing my ROMs by toggling usb storage in recovery, placing the ROM on the root of my microSD, and after disconnecting from usb storage I proceed to flash the chosen ROM, provided I've already wiped everything.
My trouble usually comes afterward when the ROM has completed it's installation and I go to reboot. Every time I've tried so far I've encountered a bootloop :/ But we'll see this time!
Gotcha
You'll get it sorted
What Rom are you trying now?
Sometimes you need to flash the boot.IMG after the Rom, but that usually only happens if youre s on.
If it still bootloops I would try this next:
Boot to recovery
Wipe all partitions
Reboot recovery
Wipe all partitions again
Flash Rom
Reboot phone
If all else fails you can run the ruu (will return u to stock Rom and recovery) and you will keep s off but will need to install recovery again.

I chose Team d3rp - Lights Out just to see if it would work, and to my surprise it did!!!
I wiped everything but my sd manually once,
and after flashing the ROM, the aroma installer gave the option to wipe again so I did.
After a suspenseful minute or two during the reboot, I finally got everything set up!
I can't thank you enough..!!
I'm not sure if I should make another thread or not, but the only problem I see now is with the wifi.
I have it connected to my network, and it's showing full signal,
but I can't access the internet and 3g doesn't even pick up when wifi is on.
If needed I'll make another thread, but I figured I would ask just in case!
I appreciate all the help so far.
Try a reboot or different kernel...don't know why it doesn't work

Hello, a couple of days ago I received an HTC Evo 3D, but I don't like the stock HTC rom, so I decided to use NonSense (http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1507616). I updated firmware, and installed CWM 6.0, wiped partitions and installed that ROM. But now i got a bootloop :/ .
Bootloader is unlocked..

S-off, I think it has to be s-on, hboot 1.53.0007, i'm currently trying to use RUU get back to stock, RUU says :
from image version 3.28.401.1 to 3.28.631.1
But it fails because of model id.
Bootloader is currently relocked.

You can only flash sense based ROMs with that h-boot. Since you're s-off just downgrade your h-boot to 1.49.0007 or 1.49.1107 and you can flash anything you want
Sent from my Nokia 3310 using Tapatalk
Oh crap, made a mistake, I have s-on.
Then you can only flash sense based ROMs. Try Cool ICS, it's great. Or do s-off ?

I was about to download that, hopefully it'll work. :fingers-crossed:
You need 4ext recovery and smartflash enabled because Cool uses custom kernel
