Hey guys and gals! So i've been flashing roms and mods for a few years now since the og evo but still very much noob. I was using mean rom, updating every couple of releases. on one of them he recommended flashing ext4 recovery which i did and then flashed the rom update. Everything worked fine for about an hour then the lockring started to not want to open, i would have to drag it up 3 or 4 times real fast. then soft keys started not to work and got progresivly worse to the point now once i open something i have to reboot to get back to home screen.
Thinking it was recovery i flashed back to cwm and same thing, flashed backups made well before it started acting up and same thing. Flashed different roms still the same.
Any ideas??? Thanx for any help.
Bump. I have this same problem
Are you s-off or s-on? What hboot version are you on? This information matters because flashing incompatible roms and kernels tends to cause problems. I take it since your on ics using meanrom that your problem is more than likely a kernel and or recovery issue. 4ext recovery is the best recovery used for ics roms. It's not recommended to use clockwork mod or restore backups recoveries formatted particular recovery with a different recovery. If you are on hboot 1.58 you must flash the 1.58 kernel in the meanrom folder added to your files after installation. Make sure you do a full clean wipe before installation of rom. Wipe dalvik and cache before you flash kernel.
Please hit the thanks button if I helped you.

Try using fastboot on your pc and having your phone in fastboot type fastboot flash recovery "whatever the name of the recovery file"img
So I tried flashing MeanRom the ics version onto the Evo 3d, and it flashed it. But every time it booted into the lock screen it rebooted itself. So I tried going back to the back up I made. But did not work, tried flashing a different rom but did not work also. It will go into recovery which was twrp but switched it to Ext4. So whatever I try it will just go into the HTC logo and get stuck there. I am at a loss, Please Help.
I will keep trying, but I'm running out of ideas
it does have s-on
hboot 1.50.0000
u r s-on so u need to flash the boot.img by the fastboot

I had this exact same issue after trying to flash Myn's ICS ROM with Touch Recovery on 1.5 s-on..How I was finally able to fix it was to delete the 4 ext folder off my SD card. Then I booted into fastboot and pushed TWRP recovery back onto my phone and flashed a gingerbread rom. If you need help pushing the recovery via fastboot, this thread is the answer. Be sure to give JTNiggle some thanks.

Doesn't EXT4 Touch Recovery take care of that for you? That was my impression. Off topic, I know..
evo rebooting
yes 4ext recovery takes care of that and you guys should be using it and make sure you have smart flash enable
I did try flashing a gingerbread rom with twrp but didn't work, which is why I flashed ext4

Well I used the dumlock method, which should have helped me flash the rom without manually going into my computer to flash via cmd right?

Happens to me too!
To flash a new ROM, go to your computer, Command Prompt , type in the direction of your recovery. ex= cd\evo3dTWRP, then type in "fastboot boot recovery.img (or whatever the name of your recovery img is), press enter and your phone should boot into Recovery. Wipe all data, then flash ROM.
BTW: Do you have Smartflash Enabled in 4EXT,?
Well bootloader is working and the recovery is too, I used twrp but noticed it wasn't working so I flashed 4ext. But for some reason it won't boot up roms (of any kind) or even restore my backup. The recoveries will restore or flash the rom. But once I reboot the phone it will just get stuck on the HTC logo. Yeah smartflash is and was enabled.

If you're trying to install an ICS ROM, they tend to bootloop for most who are s-on. I recommend you get s-off.

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

GSM, S-on, H boot 1.49.0018, I used HTC dev to root it. Revolutionary CWM v4.0.1.4
I unlocked my GSM Evo3D bootloader using the HTCDev.com method.
I had the Cool Rom, Cool ICS v8 running fine. I would flash the boot image via fast boot “fastboot flash boot boot.img”
All was fine, the battery wasn’t lasting long enough and I decided to change ROM to see what else was on offer.
I did full wipe and deleted dalvik cache.
I flashed the mwakious3Drom ROM, from version 7? As stated to do, this booted up fine and I restarted this and used the phone for a few minutes.
I then tried to upgrade this to version 10 using the correct method and that’s when the problem started the phone was stuck on the splash screen when turned on
I tried again to flash the kernel, because searches for threads all say flash the kernel via fast boot and this has just had me stuck on the htc boot logo the phone restarts every time and this continues.
I tried another rom to see if this would fix it and I tried the King Cobra rom. everything seems to flash fine and then I get stuck on the Splash screen of the ROM.
In a last attempt I tried a shipped ROM (getting the rom from the exe when extracted etc) and I have had no luck, it will not flash (maybe for an obvious reason, I even tried the boot image, no luck)
I have had a desire, desire HD and incredible s before this windows mobile phones, I generally do not have problems but was stupid enough to not do a backup so there is nothing to restore! I hardly have had a problem so tried to save on the space (idiot).
I have a Desire HD and I can flash roms fine, I have clearly made a silly mistake somewhere but I cannot get anything at the minute to work as a fix.
If someone could advise that would be great and I would change the title to have an answer to help others in the future.
Thank you I appreciate your help.
*(Another thing I noticed if it's important. When booting into Rev CWM it says at the bottom,
E:Can't mount /cache/recovery/command
E:Can't mount /cache/recovery/log
E:Can't open /cache/recovery/log
etc. Probably because I don't have them?)
You just have to mount USB from CWM and then you can control your phones memory from your computer after the drivers have installed themselves after you plugged your phone into the computer
Just go into mounts and storage in cwm and you will see the option to mount USB.
It can't mount the drives because you deleted them but it should be okay if you just mount USB and drag drop the ROM onto your device.
I also suggest to call claims and let them know you want them to send you a sky rocket instead if they sent you the desire in place of the old captivate. The screen on the desire had issues. Do this asap if you don't want to be stranded without a working phone. It happened to me and I had to pull the battery a few times. I was pretty upset to be quite honest.

You can flash any of the custom ICS roms with the base 3.28.401.1
You can NOT flash any of the custom ICS roms with the base 3.28.707.1
without the new radio and firmware the 707 base will not install and will go into a constant bootloop.
of course you know to use lastest 4ext recovery or "fastboot flash boot boot.img" command on the 401 roms.

Worked great when I tried a ROM with a 401 base. I didn't realise this caused issues.
I wasn't doing a great deal wrong then was I. The only thing is the king cobra ROM should have worked.
Thanks again for the quick reply.

I will most likely go for s-off I'll have a go at the weekend .... But would I be right in thinking I could simply install 4ext touch recovery instead of CWM recovery and end up able to then flash any ROM with any base?

4ext does a great job of flashing any GB Rom including kernel with S-on, but s-on people flashing ICS with it still seem to have problems for some reason. That's why I always suggest s-off.

I normally use the anthrax hybrid kernel to flash ics and it works fine I was s-on til last night. I'm also on cdma so it may not apply but you should research before you flash any rom to make sure something extra isn't required

So I'm trying to put the latest stock Sprint ROM on my phone, but I want to keep all my ROOT and S-OFF. I read that you have to have certain HBOOTs for it to not bootloop. I found that info here:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1817513
and found the HBOOTS to flash from here:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=30014044&postcount=7&nocache=1&z=7862393853720278
I got the 2.89 stock ROMS from here:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1420206
and THOSE bootloop, both odexed and deodexed. HOWEVER... the 2.18 boots up but root isn't working in it. When I try to "su" from a terminal I get a segmentation fault.
PROBLEM:
I've tried a few different HBOOTS that should work with the 2.89 ROM, but it just keeps BOOTLOOPING
I even tried a few different recoveries, and also using the Synergy_3Dvo_Superwipe file.
It seems I am stuck.
I know these threads aren't very active anymore and I have an older phone but it's still my main phone and want to use it for a bit longer. Any help is greatly appreciated. Thanks!
Ok I literally just finished trying EVERY HBOOT I could find and they ALL result in bootlooping on the stock ICS. Here are the ones I tried:
PG86IMG_1.30-hboot.zip
PG86IMG_1.40-hboot.zip
PG86IMG_1.50-hboot.zip
PG86IMG_1.58-hboot_.zip

PG86IMG_JBear_1.58.5858_hboot_Sprint_ICS.zip
PG86IMG_Revolutionary_1.40.1100-hboot.zip
All downloadable from one of the thread links I posted above.
First off you need hboot 1.57 or up for stock ICS
Flash hboot 1.58 since it newest... Jbear 1.58.5858 should work fine too.
Once you verify you have the correct hboot, boot to recovery and wipe all partitions except your SD card..
Now reboot the phone to recovery...usually an option in the power menu of recovery
Wipe all partitions except SD again
Flash 2.89 ROM.zip
Reboot phone
If that doesn't work
Take the boot.IMG from the ROM.zip and flash through fast boot

Does wiping the partitions and then rebooting into recovery and doing it again do a better wipe? I don't think I've come across that tip before. However I ended up flashing a PG86IMG zip file of the stock ROM. I actually screwed myself a bit because I'm flashed to Boost Mobile and it messed up a bunch of stuff that I had to fix but it boots and now I got it working. I'm planning on ditching this phone as soon as I can find a new one that I like. Was looking at the Note 3 but it's hella monstrous and I am not a big fan of Super AMOLED displays, too much crayon effect color-wise for me, although I know most ppl love that. Thanks for your tip though. Wish I had tried it before but again my phone is working now.
When you change hboot it is wise to wipe and reboot recovery
I'm not sure on flashing to boost, but if you made a backup before you started messing around you may be able to go back easily after flashing your custom recovery...I assume you ran the ruu Pg86img which restores your factory recovery
