Alright so everything was great i was using viper rom on my evo lte, i had been having trouble flashing kernels. I tried some app that would do it, flashed one and now im ****ed. this thing just won't boot up at all it goes in between the (htc quietly stupid) splash screen and the one that you see as you load recovery. (with like the little red writing crap) just back and fourth thats it.... i can access my boot loader and recovery, so far ive wiped the hell out of it, formated the internal card, and tried installing countless different rom. all do the same loop thingy.
PLEASE HELP, ILL TRY ANYTHING!!
Im unlocked with s-on
and hboot-1.15.0000
if u can get into bootloader then wipe and restore your backup.. if u can get into booloader then u should be able to get into recovery from there go into recovery wipe and restore ya backup and u should be good to go.. wipe data.. wipe system.. wipe cash.. wipe dalvik cash
I'm in the same boat except it had nothing to do with kernels... Just all of a sudden everything stopped working... Nothing flashes correctly... Md5 sums never match for restores... If I mess with it long enough twrp stops recognizing my internal SD... I've had to ruu like 3 times because of it... I've tried different recoveries... Countless different wipe methods... Nothing works... I'm lazy panda s-off... Tried both twrp 2.2.1 and even tried clockwork for awhile... After running ruu I re-root and flash either recovery and as soon as I wipe and flash a Rom I'm stuck at the splash no matter what Rom... So with that said I'm stuck with stock for now... No fun stuff anymore...

thats why!! clockwork recovery is no good for this phone!! your not supposed to use it..
But as I said I was getting the same problems with twrp... And the internal SD problem happened using twrp... It doesn't matter what recovery I use... I've used both superwipe zips or just plane system wipe within twrp and every time something screws up and I get stuck at the splash screen having to run the ruu bootloader zip just to have a working phone...

The OP in this thread was having the same problem:

They were able to fix it by fastboot flashing the kernels boot image.

Ive just got no idea where my backup went, its just simply GONE. ive been messing around with android sdk so that i could relock my stupid bootloader so i can flash a ruu or whatever.
im normaly very good with this stuff, ive installed android sdk, watched like 4 videos on how to get this stupid adb shell working but its just not happening. im about to throw my emo lte and my macbook pro into my lake, and get an iphone.
Did you mount the correct sd card in twrp?

Lol don't do that, I'm sure you would regret it. The important thing is that your problem is completely solvable so don't lose hope. Did you take a look at the thread I linked you? If you have the sdk installed you should be able to flash a new boot image, which would be much better than going the RUU route in my opinion.

Try going into recovery from the bootloader and then try the "adb devices" command. I've noticed that I can't issue adb commands while in fastboot also...not sure why. If you can get it to display your device while in recovery, then you know your communication is good. Go back into fastboot and you should be able to do the "fastboot flash boot" command, but rebooting with the adb command will not work for some reason. After you flash the boot image, there should be an option to reboot on your phone that you can select with the volume keys.

I bought an evo 3d from a guy today off craiglist and he gave it to me with MIUI loaded onto it. So I figured no problem I will just restore to factory and do what I want to do rooting wise from there. I did a factory restore but it is still running MIUI and I don't know how to get it uninstalled and back to factory. It is running HBOOT 1.50 so I tried to flash a new rom via fastboot-->recovery even though I know that wont leave the rom completely working right but I was just trying to get rid of this MIUI rom. It said it flashed correctly but nothing changed on reboot it is still running MIUI. He gave it to me with the HBOOT unlocked already. Is there anyone that can help me getting a different rom, preferrably one as close to sense as possible running on this thing? I never ran into problems like this with my EVO 4g. Thanks to all!

If already unlocked, using fastboot to get into recovery and flashing from there should have worked.
I would fastboot oem lock the device. Then running an ruu to get to stock. Wipe the entire sd card. Then follow htc evo hacks guide to root/unlock. Hboot 1.5.
That will unlock it again and give you your recovery. (I would probably use twrp instead of cwm if I were you).
Once done with that go ahead and flash su and make your nand backup. Should be good to go after that.

If you relock the device, run the RUU first, then fastboot oem lock. You should try the superwipe tool located in the development thread under InfectedROM Eternity, Then try flashing a ROM. There are a few ROMs that are pretty stock, including a basic sense ROM with very few alterations. Head over to development and check them out.

yeah I did a factory reset by going through menu-->settings-->about phone-->factory reset and tried factory resetting through recovery mode but as soon as it boots it looks like it has been reset. Unfortunately after I do the touch android character to continue options (sign into google, etc) it just goes straight into miui rather than how a factory evo 3d should look which is running gingerbread. Its so frustrating.

Doing a factory reset is not the same as wiping.
You need to do a full wipe from recovery. Boot into the bootloader by hooking your phone up to the pc, navigate to your adb and fastboot folder and type:
Code:
adb reboot bootloader
Then type:
Code:
fastboot boot recovery.img
Once in recovery flash the superwipe.zip I mentioned before, then flash a ROM.
Check out this thread for information on how to get fastboot and adb, where to put them, and everything else you need to know about flashing with 1.5.
Then, before you do anything with your phone, look here for the superwipe.zip

thanks. im still having a problem cause the phone is running TWRP recovery and the bootloader is unlocked but he wiped the SD card so all the files that should be on it after the unlock and flash of the recovery are gone. Im having a huge problem trying to get this MIUI off the phone. I just want to get it back to running a stock rom so I can activate it on my line and I am not too good with this whole unrooting stuff. Is there a simple way to do it? I tried going through fastboot--recovery then flashing the superwipe but it just ended up causing the phone to be stuck on the white screen on reboot with the green HTC.

After you wipe the hone you need to flash a ROM. When you wipe the phone it is completely blank.
Are you just doing a factory reset and rebooting? If so, that won't get you back to an HTC ROM. You need to wipe and then flash a new ROM. That will get you off of miui.
So you flashed the super wipe and then didn't flash a ROM? You have no OS loaded on your phone. Download a ROM, put it on your sd card, and flash it. Make sure it's a sense ROM since you'll need to be on a sense ROM to activate it. No need to unroot.

No I used superwipe and then flashed clean rom 2.9.5 but it got stuck on the white screen on the reboot.
Do I have to use adb to run fastboot and then go into recovery or can I turn the phone off, boot into fastboot by holding power, vol down and going into recovery?

Since you're on hboot 1.5, you either need to flash using joeykrim's flash image gui app, or you need to put your phone in Gaynor, plug into the computer, and from the command prompt on your computer boot your recovery image. It's something like fastboot boot recovery.img. You will need to search for the exact command. Once you boot into recovery using that method you will be fine, just use recovery like normal. If you don't use one of those two methods you won't be able to flash the boot.img, so the phone won't boot. Good luck.

i started i started running mik runny yesterday. I dont know if it was somethign with the rom but. I just updated my prl on dfs and once i went to reboot it wont go past the white htc screen and just keeps bootlooping. I cannot figure it out. Ive wiped everything muiltiple times. my nanadroids do the same thing. New roms too. I even did a factory reset. i dont get it My recovery and fastboot still work though. any other suggestions?
Flashed a new recovery img. i was using twrp2.0 i flashed twrp 1.3 to see if i had any luck with that but no dice. Im downloading the latest RUU now and hopefully that will fix it. Im guessing if it doesnt then something happened to my phone. If im not mistaken flashing the PG86IMG will flash allthe partitions so there would be no reason for it to not work unless of course something happened to the hardware?
Btw Hboot 1.4 and running mikrunny when the bootloop started. Im super confused since it booted fine for me numerous times. The only thing i changed before this reboot was prl and i turned fastboot off earlier. one other thing im downloading RUU_Shooter_S_Sprint_WWE_2.17.651.5 radio 1.00.1216 this isnt going to affect my hboot once flashing right? even if i have to re root thats fine i just dont wanna get stuck in 1.5 prison

well im kinda stuck now. I tried to run the ruu for my hboot version and on step 11 system it failed to unzip. so now i have s off still but no recovery. Im gonna try to put cwm back on my sd and hope that it flashes and see if i can get some rom to flash. I cant figure this out i feel like a newb again. fml. Does it matter that it wasnt the first time i booted into the rom for it to be a bad flash like that?
well i think im officially bricked. I ran an older ruu and it failed to unzip system so after much searching i decided to run one of the latest pg86imgs it fully updated succesfully but still bootloops at the htc screen. So now i have a locked hboot 1.5 with s-off. I gotta get some sleep and see what i can do tommorow. from evreything i have read they say im not bricked if im able to do what i have. but i dont understand why nothing will work.

Sup man your not bricked don't worry or even soft bricked lol.
You should of waited on that updated zip reason it's boot loopin or lockin up is due to the phone never got wiped before the update....
Here is the CWM that will work for you. You need to put the img in your platform tools for ADB. Rename the img file to cwm then plug your phone in while in hboot. Type fastboot flash recovery cwm.img this will put the recovery back on your phone man.
In CWM you can mount your phone and copy a rom you downloaded off xda. Take the rom you downloaded open it up on your computer make a copy of the boot.img place that in your platform tools folder. Now mount your phone using CWM copy the romwhich will put it on your sd card. Now wipe everything. Then while in ADB type : adb reboot bootloader this will take you to hboot again now type fastboot flash boot boot.img this will flash the kernel for you. Now go back into recovery and flash your rom.
You should be good to go man. Let me know if you have any questions.
This should get your phone working...
The good thing about the 3vo is dat its unbrickable just always keep a Rom u ones work an always erase scrub thing / factory reset cutting shortcuts don't work in rooting/dev world

Ok so now that i ran that ruu that changed my hboot to 1.5 is that gonna affect how the cwm installs?even though it says s-off. Also for some reason im having trouble running any commands for fastboot. Ive followed a bunch of guides made sure the envinronemtal variables were correct ect, ect but none of the adb commands will work. Maybe its my pc idk.
Since i cant get fastboot to work on my pc do you think i would just be able to reinstall clockworkmod by renaming it on my sd like you do to root in the first place. Then use it to wipe and then try reflashing?
U might have to re unlock it if ur 3vo says locked at the top if not u should have no problem

I was able to re run the pg86img with the 1.4 hboot now im back on hboot 1.4 still with soff and doesnt say locked anymore. I also was able to install recovery again but i used twrp 1.3 since none of the download links i could find were good and the ones that were good were disk img. I tried running virus superwipe tool and reflashing a rom again to see if anyhtign changed but it didnt. i really just wish i could get the commands to work to use fastboot and adb.
One thing i just noticed in recovery i went into mounts and system and data were unmounted and cache and sdcard were mounted. Do i need to mount everything and try again or was that the way it should of been?

I read about the 1.5 with s-off issue a while back when hboot 1.5 first was released. As long as you have s-off, it doesn't really matter what hboot you have. You'll be able to flash entire ROMs (kernel included) in one step just like you could before your issue arose, because you have s-off. I sadly don't have enough experience with fastboot to be able to give you an easy guide to flashing cwm onto your phone though, but I hope this helps you at least somewhat.
EDIT: I just realized everything I said now doesn't matter since you're not on hboot 1.5 anymore...sorry about that. reaper24 gave you a link to cwm 4.0.1.4 in post #8 in this thread. Stop using TWRP 1.3, there's already a TWRP 2 specifically for EVO 3D and even the latest TWRP has been having issues. CWM has been completely stable for me on every HTC phone I've ever used (Hero CDMA, EVO 4G and now currently the EVO 3D). CWM 4.0.1.4 is in post #8 of this thread as an attachment (it's a small link in between reaper's post and his signature)

However i did get qtadb to work on one of them im able to run all the same commands from the shell on it correct? nevermind on this i dont think this is made for that i may be wrong though.
If so i can flash recovery img then flash new rom boot img ect. .. i was told i have to do via pc in order to flash the boot partition cause thats whats causing my problem.
I have all the paths specified on my pc and everythign i need in my tools folder but cant cd to anyhting. i have read and read and read im pretty sure i have it all setup right but everytime i cd it says path not specified or not a batch file or soemthing.

I have all the paths specified on my pc and everythign i need in my tools folder but cant cd to anyhting. i have read and read and read im pretty sure i have it all setup right but everytime i cd it says path not specified or not a batch file or soemthing.

i know right. I think what it might be is something i saw earlier about since i flashed the PG86IMG and it took revolutionary off my hboot that i no longer have fastboot. I tried to run some other commands and got the same thing. So for the hell of it i tried to run revolutionary from hbootand fastboot and it just waits for device. But then when i reboot the phone it will recognize it, but it doesnt stay long enough to run revolutionary.No i just have to remember which pg86img it was that made my phone just stay at the white screen so i can run revolutionary. lol
No matter what ROM I use, it always gets stuck at the splash screen. It seems fine and then when it's supposed to boot, it freezes. This really sucks. I do full wipe and everything.

1.Place your recovery you used the recovery.img in your adb folder
2.adb reboot bootloader
3.fastboot boot recovery.img By recovery.img I mean whatever you renamed it too such if it were clockwork and you renamed it cwm.img
4.wipe everything other then SD card
5.flash rom
6.Doing it this way gives you full rights to flash and make nan backups... Just like the S-off users...
Wipe everything not your sd card .... Then flash rom should work fine...... Then reboot system...
---------- Post added at 03:46 AM ---------- Previous post was at 03:44 AM ----------
Also if you wanna do it another way open rom on your computer take a copy of the boot img
Place boot img in your adb folder....
1.adb reboot recovery
2.Wipe everything other then SD
3.adb reboot bootloader
4.fastboot flash boot boot.img
5.go into recovery and flash rom
6.Enjoy

If your CDMA download the latest RUU 2.17 exe and run this while your in Hboot this will throw you stock... Which you can turn Debug on then unlock your phone again with that unlock code you have....
You need to have a recovery cwm works fine the 4.0 version of it.. Then follow those other steps I sent ya...
I know this works cause I had to go back to stock today to fix my wireless lol I was stuck on 1X hell today had to unroot and go stock to fix my issue....

Nice that was a bit confusing but glad your back up and running man.
BTW what rom do you recommend to use launchers. I use launcherpro and I don't need sense or anything. I like to use custom lock screens, launchers, etc. I don't need themed roms. I just want one that makes your phone smooth and saves battery. You know what I mean?>

Right now I have been messing with Fresh Rom sense based on the 2.17 update...
You can try R82 virus rom eternity 3.0 it's pretty solid and looks good just by it's self you have to give it a try to see what I mean.. Tho most other themes won't play well with it unless a dev makes it work for it...
As for the other roms. I haven't really went toying with.. Been using Eternity 3.0 for along time.... The nightlys
Since I unrooted today to fix my 1X hell I went and unlocked my phone again and threw fresh on to take a break on flashin
Tho both of those roms give great battery life and speed Fresh by flipz is stockish .. Eternity is already themed looks great and runs smooth battery life is great also...

I am a complete noob. Sprint Evo 3d 1.5 s-on, I have been running Viper IC3D for a month now, loving it,should have stuck with that. I wanted to try one of the Jelly Bean Roms, specifically the Team D.I.R.T. one, but I didn't want to have to keep flashing the two roms back and forth. Found out about Boot Manager Pro on here, and found a thread about using it with hboot 1.5 s-on. followed the instructions, booted into D.I.R.T. rom. fiddled with it, decided to go back to my phone rom. Boot Manager kept unexpectedly closing on me, wouldn't stay open long enough to do anything. So I went into recovery and restored my nandroid of Viper. But D.I.R.T. loaded! Said screw it, and wiped and reflashed Viper. D.I.R.T. loaded! Couldn't get anything but that ROM to load no matter what I did. Uninstalled Boot Manager, nothing but D.I.R.T.So I hunted around here and found a thread that said if all else failed, to manually remove Bootloader from sd and go from there. Did that, and it soft bricked my phone. I can get into recovery, but no matter what I do when I reboot it hangs in HTC white boot screen. I cannot afford another phone and don't get an upgrade til next year. Please Say there is a solution to this! I cried all last night, couldn't sleep, and I'm crying again. Side note, i accidentally erased half the C; Drive on my laptop trying things I found on another android forum,and system restore didn't work. So I'm back here, and I'm scared to try anything else, but I have to do something. Help!!!!!!
Flash the kernel. All will be well.
Viper rom should include boot.img.
Extract it to sdk-tools folder.
Open terminal, cd to sdk-tools directory.
Hold volume plus down on phone. Hit power button on fastboot option.
Plug in phone to computer. It should say fastboot usb on phone screen now. If not, install htc drivers.
Go to terminal. Type "fastboot flash boot boot.img
Should see some stuff happen on computer screen, phone will reboot.
Do that then report back.

You don't install sdk-tools. It's just a bunch if exe's in a folder.

Yes you can, as long as you have fastboot and adb in there you'll be good, just put the boot.img in the same folder

I'm doomed. I was able to flash CWM this way, although it didn't help me at all. But I tried to flash the boot img and it didn't work. Didn't seem to recognize the command.
I'm cdma s-on? So basically you relocked and flashed an RUU and then relocked?
try to relock and flash with RUU it will work
At first when you were unable to boot back to phone rom, you should have went into recovery and flash the update.zip located in the sdcard/bootmanager/phonerom.
Anyway try to flash back to viperrom again then boot your recovery via fast boot since you are not s-off. And flash the update.zip from the phone rom folder. If everything fails just relock your bootloader and use the ruu.exe and you should be fine.

The command is: fastboot flash boot c:\(navigate to the sdk map with boot.img)\boot.img
For instance. for me it's c:\Users\(my name)\boot.img
Because i have my sdk and boot.img in my User map.
I believe boot manager creates the files for the second rom on the sd card. maybe thats why the D.I.R.T rom is loading.. My advice, try a different sdcard and see if the viper rom starts (you still might have to flash the boot.img via adb because of s-on)
I have no idea where the files for second rom are created so maybe if someone else could help out here. Then it should be a simple matter of deleting the second rom from the sd card and then go ahead and flash your viper rom.

Thanks to everyone! Relocked and ran RUU safely back to stock now debating if I have the guts to unlock again lol

Should I do the stock ics ota first? I know that will make me hboot 1.58. Can I still HTC dev unlock 1.58? And can I get a new code? Didn't save the old one
Sent from my PG86100 using xda app-developers app
Yes you will have to get new code from htcdev. Though i wouldn't recommend updating hboot cause its known to cause some issues with some roms
first off, I'm an idiot with this whole thing and shouldn't be doing it probably. i just don't know enough about it to be playing with expensive phones like this so i understand I deserve whatever i get.
i was running a custom rom on an S-ON phone. i forgot the name of the rom (was made by TEAM COOL or something). But I wanted to unroot and go back to normal stock ROM and download the JB update. First, in the SU app, I did a complete unroot. that did nothing except not let me use the app anymore.
then I tried doing the RUU way of going back, but when it would go to the loading bootloader portion, the usb would disconnect and it would fail with error 171.
so then, and i don't know how i got here, but i went into recovery and did a factory reset and now i have no rom. I have tried installing meanrom but it fails after some line regarding a kernal. my phone won't do anything except boot to the white HTC screen or into the bootloader.
i have no idea what to do, I just want it working at this point.
i've been searching forums like crazy but all the solutions are things I already have done or things that won't work for me.
If you haven't done so yet, you need to relock the bootloader before running ruu. Put your phone in fastboot and using SDK or ADB Tools, type fastboot oem lock

thank you for your help! however, whenever i do this, it just says < waiting for device >
so i finally got a rom to install--clean rom. that is the one i used to have. but when i reboot, it gets stuck on a black screen and won't go any further.
I had the same thing happen. Had to run a boot.img flash utility i found on another thread elsewhere on xda. The flash utility was updated for jb. If i can locate where i found it then i will get back to you.

I was curious if you ever found that rom or if anybody can help me? The phone is still out of commission. It's been tough to make it through the holidays especially since my laptop was stolen the very next day that all this happened

Have you tried meanbean? It has the boot.img flash tool baked in for s-on, just follow the instructions to the tee in the OP... It's in the Android development thread... Good luck
Sent from my EVO using xda app-developers app
Sounds like you need to flash a Rom that has the s-on installer or fastboot flash the kernel for the Rom you have installed
Most roms come with the kernel installer built in now days. just keep trying to flash em. fyi if your phone turns on , even a little bit , you are not bricked
I am trying to flash meanbean. I wiped the cahes and did factory reset, then flashed the ROM. It's been on "Installing /system..." for about 30 minutes now. Something seems wrong. I'm scared to interrupt it in case that's normal or if interrupting it will break it for good.
Well, I think that might be because my twrp version is really old...2.1.8. I tried updating but had no luck.
Now nothing flashes. It gets to 'verifying partition sizes' then fails. Tried this on several roms that would previously flash, just not work.

lol how could he do that if he dont have any rom installed...dafuq?
You need to FASTBOOT install it:
Turn off your device. Turn on the device and keep holding volume down until a menu shows up. Select fastboot from the menu list. Plug the device into your computer. If you have the right drivers installed, your screen should now say FASTBOOT USB. Run the following command via the command line:
fastboot flash recovery TWRP.img

Can you get into bootloader? If so go to the TWRP website and download the hboot zip. Put on external sd card and enter bootloader.

Perhaps what is happening when you try oem lock and get that error is that adb is still running from a prior attempt or because of some other program. Try opening your task manager and ending all processes of adb and other programs that connect to the phone. Then try oem locking again and go from there.

I made a little bit of progress!
I determined that Windows 8 was the reason I get the usb malfunctioning message. I obtained a Windows 7 computer and it worked like a charm.
That said, I'm not out of the woods yet.
I relocked the phone using fastboot and then have been attempting to flash a stock RUU now that the usb issue is sorted out.
That seems to work but it gets stuck at "sending....." for as long as 35 minutes. I've tried about 4 times, giving between 20-35 minutes and it won't go beyond sending.
I can at least fastboot now; but the phone is locked. Which is fine; I just want back to stock anyways.
