So... I flashed scrosler's Stock Rooted RUU 3.14, and once that was cleanly on and working I got into amonra and cleared data, flashed Venasaur 3.1, and then in Hboot ran the 3.14 kernel again.
How did I go wrong and what's the simple fix that will get me with the pokemon? ~thanks <3
(I'm getting bootlooped that is)
You flashed an incompatible kernel. Are you s-on or s-off? If s-off just flash the Rom again in amon ra and reboot phone. No need to install a kernel it will do it for you. If s-on you need the kernel for venasaur Rom which may need to be flashed in fastboot unless someone has made it into a flammable zip. If s-on might as well take the plunge and s-off. It's a very easy process.

I am S-on, as soon as I find something condutable and more reliable than a paperclip i'll probably do S-off haha
I don't think anyway has, I just time getting the image boot file off of the rom and running it in H-boot, I still get a bootloop (I'm genuinely surprised that it didn't work), that's a pretty sticky situation, i'm stuck without a phone until that's solved =(
I repeal that statement, taking the boot.img out and flashing it in hboot worked, wonderful! thanks =)
Question for you?..
Now that that you have your Venusaur 3.1 running..are you having any issues with Wifi?
I did the re-lock, android police ruu, unlock, install recovery, clean wipe x10, install venusaur 3.1, and then installed sense4 boot image for the venusaur rom. However I keep getting Wi-fi Errors, I'm guessing my wifi modules are wrong but I'm just trying to figure out where I may have messed up. I tried flashing the wifi modules provided by http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1642217 but no go...any ideas?
well i'm fairly curious how you were able to get the sense4 boot image, it gave me a mainver error, I took the boot image out of the rom and ran that.
Which got me in, and wifi isn't giving me a problem surprisingly, but I'm now curious to how your supposed to go 3g with the new setting setup.
My Sd card also can't mount I'm not sure if that's related to 3.14 and pokemon rom or just my terrible flashing
Watercycle, are you still having problems? If you flashed Scott's Rom that is not an ruu. I believe you are still o n the old firmware. You will need to go to nilsp business Rom in the development section and download the old firmware patch (i think it's in the 4th post) then flash in amon ra. You should be set after that.

actually I flashed scott's 3.14 deodex and old firmware patch + boot img before flashing the pokemon and pokemon boot img
I'm currently only struggling with the issue of sd card mount now

The patch may still be on your sd card from Scott then and if not go to the thread I suggested. Just boot to recovery and flash the patch again. You will need that patch for any ics Rom you run because you are still on gb firmware. Don't panic your almost there.
sent from my Clean Rezound
how can you tell if your on old gb firmware? =( since it still boots up and works
darnit I thought i was on ics after that full ruu =o
so after having flashed the pokemon in Hboot i flash the old firmware again? (i'm scared it will bootloop me because i finally got it working haha)

I briefly searched the venasaur thread (which you can do to) and found most people having WiFi issues either had the wrong kernel or just reset their router and bam, WiFi works. I can't help you anymore then that so you may want to ask in that thread.
Edit: did you unzip the Rom and get the boot.IMG there or did you download seperate? If you didn't unzip and take it out of the Rom then try that. You should be good.

It will fix your sd card. You never ran the ruu if all you flashed was Scott's rooted, deodexd Rom. If you get with me tomorrow I can walk you through the ruu but I think at that point you might as well s-off. Time to find that wire

If you could see your sd card on Scott's Rom it was because of the patch. Make sure you report back. I need some sleep.

Okay...
I re-locked my bootloader using the usual, fastboot oem lock.
then I download the full leaked RUU from Android Police, androidpolice.com/2012/05/07/exclusive-download-htc-rezound-ice-cream-sandwich-build-3-14-605-5-brings-a-handful-of-fixes-and-newer-radios/"
Booted to Hboot with that file on the SD card in the proper name, completely flashed the phone with the Leaked RUU
Once OS loaded, rebooted back to fastboot and used hTcdev.com to unlocked my bootloader again. (I do not have S-Off yet).
Then I downloaded and flashed through fastboot commands the TWRP 2.1.1. Touchscreen recovery.
Once this was done, I downloaded and installed Venusaur 3.1.0 through recovery after performing scot's superwipe x10,
Then fastboot flashed the boot.img for the sense 4.0 roms.
Wi-Fi does not turn on at all...It will state Turning on...but not to long after will give error.
So after all of that I tried grabbing the wifi module.zip from one of the stock rom de-odexed rooted 3.14.605.5 roms, and tried flashing that through recovery and manually adding the file through root explorer..nothing.
Hope that helps clarify.
Also i would through an inquiry to there thread but I don't have enought posts yet to post in development.

Why are you not s-off? Makes life much easier. What I have concluded is that you need to start over. You have the wrong kernel. Wipe everything then flash the Rom in recovery. You will have had to unzip the Rom on your pc then take the boot.IMG out and flash this in fastboot to the phone. I don't think there is a ph.zip file for this. There are very good directions if you search that thread.

I am an unfortunate rookie, and have made mistakes, hence the name. I want to return my phone to stock from htcdev unlock, s-on, hboot 1.5. with a boot loop on meanom ICS for the evo 3d. I have tried to use older ruu shooters. Relock with fastbot oem lock, and then pg86img. However with the bootloop I can not access anything unless I unlock again, and then go into recovery. This is all that I can think of at the moment that might help.
Kill the rookie!!! PLEASE HELP!!
I had much the same problem with my cdma, hboot 1.5, S-On shooter. When I was S-On none of the ICS roms would work. The all bootlooped on me. If you follow the rooting method found here on xda, it will get you back to a stock Rooted GB Rom.
go into hboot -> fastboot USB-> run command dos -> fastboot cwm-4.0.1.4-shooter.IMG -> flash the 2.17 firmware-> enjoy.
I had to S-off with Juopunutbear, then re-run that root/flash to get past the bootloops.

Have you tried one of the ruu exe files that you run from your computer? If you are trying to go stock, you should be able to relock the bootloader and run the ruu and that's it.
Sent from my ICS 3VO with Tapatalk 2
First of all I want to thank everyone that has been attempting to assist me with my problem. I have tried to relock since I am on htcdev unlock and then run an ruu force via my computer. I get an installation aborted error when trying to flash pg86img via recovery. I don't know what else to say.
You can't flash a bootloader zip from recovery. You have to flash it from hboot. Also make sure the zip is named correctly "PG86IMG.zip" without the quotes. Also make sure the zip is on the root of your sd as in not in any folders. Once you've named the zip correctly and placed it correctly then power off the phone. Hold down the volume down button and tap the power button. You should boot into the bootloader wait until the phone recognizes the zip and follow the on screen instructions. Hopefully this helps.

Thank you again. I tried your directions, it did recognize the pg86img. However it did not give me any instructions to follow. It did however allow me to be able to a partial stock state. My software version is still on the teamgenesis sense v2.9 cdma. Although I do like some of the features on this rom, I would still like to be able to get the OTA of ICS when it is released. Any suggestions?

To get the ota release (if it ever comes ) I do believe you will need to be locked and running the existing gingerbread rom. While I am not positive, I think the system uses the props file to determine if an update is applicable, and it will likely not recognize the teamgenesis rom version as being upgradeable.
Now I will likely get flames for saying this, but if you want to put the meanrom v2.4 of ICS on the phone, it can be done with s-on, you just need to follow the correct process. I ran that rom for a while, and it is very stock like, stable, and has a few enhancements that you will not find on a non-rooted stock rom. I never found anything wrong or not working with that rom.
To get it to load, first I downloaded flashimagegui from market, put the meanrom zip file on the sd card and made sure I had a recovery that I could get into. I am using TWRP v2.1.1, lots of folks talk about others like ext4, and I am only going to say use whichever you like, after all it is your phone.
Then with the phone unlocked via the htc method, I started the flashimage app, and browsed to the meanrom file. It extracted the kernel and flashed it. Once that was done, with clear cache buttons selected, rebooted to recovery, and used the install menu selection of TWRP to again flash the same rom file. Once it flashed the file, selected clear cache and dalvik just to be safe, selected reboot system, and it worked great.
Have a great weekend.
So, apparently I am still doing something wrong. I have put the pg86img on the root, relocked to the bootloader, and let it run it's course. However, it will get through with reading it and stops and does not finish anything with loading the system information. I have also tried to run the ruu via usb connection. I keep running into a c++ issue saying runtime error. I have wiped everything and thankfully I did make a backup of the rom and other information that I was runing so I can currently fall back on that.
I am on hboot 1.5, 2.17, and teamgenesis ICS rom for evo 3d.
Apparently there have been rumors that Sprint has finally released the ICS OTA, not that it really matters anymore, but I have run into a few interesting glitches, such as WIFI not staying connected while asleep or disconnecting.
If I have to I am willing to pay to do a netmeeing with someone in order to be able to fix this.
Sorry if it sounds like I am getting frustrated, but I have tried every walkthrough that I have found and have not had any luck with any of them.
Please help.
I forgot to say I am s-on
I have the CDMA Evo 3D

SHOOTER XC SHIP S-ON RL
HBOOT-1.50.0000
eMMC-boot
It is Rooted and running the Sprint 2.17 odex ROM 2.3.4 Gingerbread
With TWRP Recovery.
I've been reading forums for three weeks. No one has given me a clear answer.
What I want to do is get ICS. Now before you all facepalm and say "Use the wire trick noob" It's not that simple.
My phone was flashed to Boost Mobile. I didn't flash it and I have not the slightest Idea how to flash and according to support at http://www.unlimited.io The wire trick will clear my flash. So the wire trick is a no no.
Now there was a method where you flash the boot.img using fastboot
"fastboot flash boot boot.img"
It pushes it and says success.
Then I reboot into recovery (vol down and power button)
and flash the ROM. It bootloops every single time.
I've been looking for a way to S-Off safely with no luck, so now I'm determined to master the flash process. All i want is One working ICS ROM for my device.
Thanks in advance for the help, Nova.
Have you tried to flash the kernel AFTER flashing the ROM?

Now i've rebooted and the bootanimation is playing. I'll update to tell if it's bootlooping
Yup, still bootlooping.
ried entire process with Cool ICS ROm. NO BOOTLOOP ! YAY!
but instead it shows the homescreen for three seconds then shuts off.
The link below discusses Boost. The poster seems to know a lot about Boost so you might want to PM him about getting s-off. I really do think s-off will fix your issues.

Why don't you just flash a stock gingerbread ROM them stock recovery and relock your bootloader then take the ota update , let it install then unlock via HTC Dev again...
from what I learned from being S-ON with 1.5 unlocked, you have to:
flash the boot.img file BEFORE flashing the ROM. extract it from the ROM push it via fastboot, enter recovery via fastboot then wipe wipe WIPE everything except your SD card 3X, flash ROM, enjoy ICS goodness

If you are booting recovery via fast boot and then flashing a ROM, there is no need to flash boot.img separately. The recovery will work as if you are s-off. And there is no logic in wiping partitions 3x.....
Or you can directly flash a ROM from recovery without booting recovery via fast boot, and then flash boot.img via fast boot.
Or use 4ext recovery and turn smart flash on, and flash ROMs directly without using fast boot.

As far as I know, both unknownforce's, and the wire trick to downgrade the bootloader to hboot 1.4 will erase your flash to boost... Ask me how I know...lol!
Have you tried the app flash image GUI? When I was s on, I used this app to flash the kernel, then I went to recovery, and flashed the Rom, and all worked as long as the kernel was compatible with the specific Rom I was flashing, maybe you can try flashing the VM leak kernel, then an ics Rom

That's just the way its ever worked for me so I found it was worth giving out my way at least as an opinion I know once you boot into recovery via fastboot is SUPPOSED to work that way, never did for me hence my weird method. Wiping partitions may not have any logic to you sir, but to some of us it does back from the OG EVO days, that's what devs there used to post, that's what I've gone with as a routine for myself.
I've known peeps who attempt the ROM first boot then reflash boot.img after- endless powercycle. Never happened when I tried it but eh
4EXT wasn't always around so I guess I'm still trying to get used to easier flashin on this phone. I enver used smart flash on this one because when I was S-ON I did it the fastboot method, then the Unknown Force method came to be and I never had a need for it.
Evo 3D on Boost S-off but problems with ICS ROMs
Background:
EVO 3D (CDMA) flashed to Boost Mobile. Sept 2011
Rooted HTC Method Oct 2011
ROMs ROMs ROMs until about 6 months ago (currently using Eternity Infected Rom 1.4.2)
Tried to go to ICS and had problems so did S-off wire trick Aug 2012 (Lost Boost Mobile flash) Had to reflash to Boost.
Now:
****Unlocked****
Shooter XC Ship S-OFF RL
HBOOT 1.50.0000
baseband 97.10.0808
I'm in a quandry at this point of what to do next.
I'm not able to successfully load any of the new ROMs. I tried just upgrading to Infected ROM 2.0 but it also always has issues like it forces me to use skype or email won't open. I'm guessing it is because I load my old data from Titanium backup and it isn't compatible. I tried Mean ROM and it works and changes my kernel but I don't like it as it is full of Sprint Bloatware which does me no good on Boost. I've tried to load the latest Viper ICS ROM and it just stays stuck on the HTC screen.
Hi I wanted some guidance and help.
I have my phone S-OFF with the latest version of meanbean and the latest firmware with touch panel drivers.
Everything but the accelerometer is working and one suggestion was to try running an RUU and see if that will fix it.
I know if I run an RUU i wont lose s-off but what would i need to do to get back to having twrp and meanbean again.
I have already done a nandroid backup.
My Hboot is 1.12.111
Also do I have to run the RUU for 3.16 since I updated or can I use the one for 3.15.
There is no RUU for 3.16 yet. Have you tried a different ROM, or perhaps a clean install of Mean Bean?
The advice is free....the bandwidth, not so much
Yea i forgot to mention that. The clean install was the first thing I tried to do. I was hoping I would be able to use the ruu from 3.15 and then just nadroid back. but im not sure if thats possible. I do have the older hboot though

I get the error message
writing 'recovery'... FAILED (remote: partition is not allowed to be flushed!)
I am S-Off with lazy panda
I was only able to flash the old 2.1.8 twrp through the bootloader but that one doesnt work with the latest touchpanel drivers.
Anyone know where to get a bootloader zip for twrp that 2.4.1 or above
Or how to fix my error.
Verdammt said:
What I did, and I hope I can explain it so it makes sense, is I downloaded one of the recovery's that was already a zip. I used root explorer to extract the text file that was inside. I renamed the openrecovey-2.4.0.0.ing file to recovery.img. I used root explorer to zip the text file I extracted earlie and the recovery.img file. I used Zip Signer, free in the play store, to sign the newly created zip. I renamed the zip and put it into the root of my external sd card and it updated just fine.

OK I found a solution.
I followed the instructions from Verdammt
and I was able to create a zip I was able to flash through the bootloader.
I have included the zip I made here this will install TWRP 2.4.2
is anyone is interested.
Ok that was really weird.
I downloaded the RUU for 3.15 from unlimited IO and it wouldnt flash it gave me an error message.
So I went ahead and downloaded the RUU for 3.15 the exe version and that also gave me an error message.
I put my phone in fastboot and tried flashing again. This time it flashed but after the reboot everything was exactly how it was before nothing changed. All my information and apps were on the phone and all my settings were in place.
So I finally took the RUU.zip from unlimited io and renamed to PJ75IMG.zip and placed on the root of my sdcard.
This finally flash and also updated my hboot and locked it, but im still s-off.
So I was able to flash the previous zip i attached here to get twrp back and just restored by nandroid.
Still no accelerometer but thanks to everyone for the help.
I had the same problem..the sensors are busted.

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_ENG_1.04-hboot.zip
PG86IMG_JBear_1.50.5050_hboot_GB.zip
PG86IMG_JBear_1.57.5757_hboot_VM_ICS.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

I'll take it, if your willing to donate to keep development going, I'm having a string of phones failing because of hardware getting old, that Sprint stop warranting them for me.
