Evo 3D HBOOT 1.5 lastest Spring Firmware never flashed VM firmware
Coming from MeanROM 4.3 GB Base, going to MeanROM ICS 1.9. I wiped data/cache/dalvik, ran modified superwipe, flashed ext4 recovery w/ smartflash on, then flashed the rom. Did everything I do on my other evo 3d but it kept rebooting right after boot when the home screen starts up just to have it reboot. I've tried wiping everything. Flashing rom + kernel through fastboot as well. I thought it was the ROM but it keeps doing it regardless or the ROM I flash. Including the one I was coming from.
Appreciate the help, thanks.

So I assume your S-ON. I had the same problem the other day flashing an ICS rom. I'm S-ON and GSM.
Just kept on rebooting no matter what.
I think it has to do with not flashing the new radio/firmware, but not sure.
I just went back to the GB rom and its fine.
You should be able to go back to your old rom. If you can't then maybe your old rom .zip file got corrupted.
Yeah, I re-downloaded the first ROM I was using. I still don't see why it worked fine on one my evo and not on my other. both are cdma.
Edit:
Well it's working now, it doesn't seem to work with any ICS roms, anyone know what could be wrong? My other evo works just fine with ICS roms.

You don't say whether you are S-Off or S-on. Hboot 1.5 S-on does not play well with ICS and usually bootloops.

Sorry, I thought people would understand it was S-ON due to it being 1.5. Is there a method to getting S-ON in 1.5? Both of my Evo's are HBOOT 1.5 S-ON. One of them worked fine without a problem, doesn't matter the ICS ROM. The other, the one I"m having a hard time with, does.

You can get s-off on 1.5 if you follow this link.
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1585846
I still recommend trying to get 1.4 s-off as that seems to be the one that has the least amount of problems. You can find how to do that in the CDMA Development forum stickies.

I have tried eyeballers and the other AOSP ROM, no go. I have also tried the AOKP ROM, same result.
I can flash other sense-based ROMs; SOS, MeanROM and Newt's RC3 without a hitch.
To my knowledge I have never flashed new firmware.

I used to be able to flash Evervol's Shooter ROM, almost all the versions no problem. Now... same thing.
When I mean I can't flash them, I simply mean they won't boot. I get a constant boot loop once it hits the animation screen, then restarts.
Any help or advice?
I had the same problem. Most sense roms don't work for me now either. it took me forever to find one that would boot. I hope some one finds the problem.
Since you are s-off, you should have no problems. Are you super wiping between flashes? Leftover stuff can cause issues.

coal is right you shouldnt have issues if youre s-off...but to be safe have you still tried to manually flash the boot.img file to the phone?
Yeah, having same issue here

I'm still able to do a nandroid restore though.

I don't do superwipes, as most ppl it seems say not to (at least in the threads I've seen).
I was talking to another dev last night, and perhaps the problem started when I went from TWRP to 4EXT.
I have since gone back to TWRP 2.1, but the problem is still there.
I was running preludedrew's ROMs for the longest time, but back in April I saw that camera was fixed with sense ROMs. I flashed to deck's and then to a few others, and haven't had a problem. Now that I want to go back to AOSP based ROMs, none of them won't boot.
I even tried flashing Preludedrew's 2.2.0 p1 ROM (one I KNOW I ran previously, and it too boot loops).
I am trying to do a logcat at the moment, but every time I try, I get stuck at -waiting for device-
I know that the logcat works, because when I go back to a Sense ROM, it works perfectly. What am I doing wrong on the AOSP ROMs to not even be able to get a log cat?
Like I said, they flash fine, they hit the HTC screen, then start the boot animation, but the reboots. Please help! Thanks

Can anyone help me please? No one seems to have even heard of this issue.
I have gone ahead and upgraded my HBoot to 1.40 from 1.30
I didn't think this was going to make a difference, and I was right. Still boot loops on AOSP based ROMs.
I'm really confused, as I used to run AOSP ROMs, then switched to Sense 3.6/4.0 ROMs, and can't go back to AOSP based ones anymore.
What am I missing?

I tried to re-run revolutionary. It gave me an error, that when I researched it, it wouldn't work since I was on an ICS ROM. So I flashed a CM7 ROM, but just like all other AOSP ROMs, I get nothing but boot loops.
I'm going to look for a GB Sense-based ROM and try again.
I have the suggestion that I should upgrade to 1.50 using RUU, then brick and downgrade again... I really don't want to do that unless necessary.

Hey guys, my 3VO hasn't been acting right lately. I was having trouble booting Agrabrens latest CM10 build for CDMA, it bootlooped, but then i was able to run it again later without issue. Now my phone is having trouble running ICS based Sense roms, the roms bootloop. None of these roms have a 1.58 hboot requirement and i'm running eng hboot. Lately my phone only can run AOSP/AOSP based roms(except for at least one i've tried) without bootloops. Does anyone know what the problem could be?

Sounds like Sense is mad at you for trying AOSP ROM's.
I'm assuming you are S-OFF since you mentioned the ENG bootloader, but have you flashed the 2.89.651.2 (Sprint ICS) firmware yet? My preference would be to flash the whole RUU if you haven't already and then reflash recovery, but there is a .zip file in Virus's OTA thread that contains only the firmware, including hboot 1.58, that can be flashed from your current bootloader. You can always go back to the ENG bootloader once you get past this problem.

Does your recovery bootloop as well? What recovery on are you on?

Recovery wouldnt have anything to do with his bootloops unless you flashed the a mod, kernel, or theme that doesnt play nice with the Rom. Like ramjet said, its more than likely a firmware and or hboot issue. Go with ramjet and try his solution.

Mean ICS v2.6
Anthrax kernel 3.2.2
Radio 1.06.1216
Sprint CDMA
Problems:
Phone reboots randomly, even when in call
Phone freezes randomly
Holding down power button>power options> to restart> doesn't fully restart
getting a lot of roaming from home to work which never happened. Have to update prl back and forth from work to home which is annoying in itself.
What i have tried:
usually have to take battery out then can power back the phone on.
1.Wipe cache+dalvik, cache, dalvik cache
2.format system, data, everything, even sd card
3.tried superwipe
4. tried different roms MikVirgin 1.01, Mean ICS, Paranoid
5. tried different hboot eng 1.04, 1.40
6. tried the kernel with flashed rom, anthrax kernel, buttertoast
7. tried different variations with different roms,h-boot, etc.
Your radio is the problem. The ROMs and kernels you have mentioned on here run on the latest radio firmware. That the would explain why your phone freezes up when you try calling people and the random reboots are kernel and hboot incompatibilities. Heres a short list of what I mean.
Anthrax kernels can run on any hboot.
So can butteredtoast.
Most ICS roms can only run on hboot 1.58.00.00 or 1.58.5858
With the exception of zr3d Xl plus and viper3d.
All aosp ROMs can only be run on hboot 1.5 or lower.
All of these ROMs run on radio 1.09.0706
I would reccomend flashing this file to get you back on stock and on latest radios (1.09.0706 SPRINT 2.89)
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1193101
I reccomend you downloading this from your PC. Place it on the root of your sdcard and rename it PG86IMG in all caps. Insert the card back into your phone and power your into bootloader. When your phone detects the file, press the volume key up to start the update. Once finished, you can reflash your recovery, and then flash a ROM. Remember that ICS sense ROMs work with hboot 1.58 and Aosp ROMs works with 1.5 or lower. Good luck.

Not to be argumentative since 99% of what you said is right, but the only CDMA ROM (ICS or other) that requires hboot 1.58 is Coolexe's ROM. Viper doesn't anymore and the others never have. Some prefer certain radios and firmware though as you said.
If what jsparta said doesn't work, then I'd run the ruu.exe located in ramjet's thread http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1889438 . It will put you back to stock but s-off still. All firmware, radios, etc will be updated. If phone runs fine stock, then flash hboot, custom recovery and custom ROM. When I had issues, this fixed it fit me.
thanks guys. i'll give both a try. hopefully it will fix the problems.

any how for the ruu, is it necessary to relock the bootloader or can i just flash the ruu.exe?

Looking at your specs, it is not necessary to unlock or relock your bootloader being s-off. Your green lights to go ahead and run the ruu from your PC.

Honestly, with the problems you're describing, it sounds like you need to flash back to stock and take it in to a Sprint repair center. I'm assuming all the freezes and reboots have been an ongoing problem?

I suggested in another thread that you should try 4EXT recovery and use the "format all partitions except SD card" option before flashing the ROM.
Have you tried that yet?
ramjet73
you need s-off, non-ics bootloader and updated radio. 4ext recovery is good for evo 3d
where do i get the bootloader and radio? i installed 4ext and formatted all partitions and now jb roms just restart at loading screen.
OK, the same exact thing happened to me the other day, even though i had the newest radio and Hboot 1.4, JB roms still wouldn't boot.
I tried everything, but the only thing that fixed it was to run an RUU, then reflash Hboot 1.5 or lower (i am using 1.04 ENG), after that, (using 4EXT recovery) JB roms would boot!
Don't worry, you will remain S-OFF after the RUU.
iv yet to find an RUU that works for my phone
the problem with ruu is my phone is cloned to run on boost. if i ruu that will be undone

I guess it comes down to how badly you want to run the JB ROM's. If you know for sure that flashing the RUU will mess up your boost flash then I wouldn't do it, but if you don't know then only you can decide if it's worth risking $50 for a Boost re-flash if it doesn't work.

I mentioned this is in the ROM discussion thread already, but I suggest giving the Negalite BluROM a try, and there are many other good Sense 3.6 ICS ROM's in the development forum.

My advice would be to stay on a ROM that seems promising for at least a week and try to get some help in that thread to resolve whatever issues you have rather than bouncing around from thread to thread. Any ROM is going to take a little time to settle in and for you to get more familiar and comfortable with it.

i did like that one, but the lag was a problem it had since hte beginning and seems to be sparatic from different users experiencing it. i dotn knwo if there are multiple versions of hte evo 3d or maybe ther eare just some conditions that are different from soem people that are hard to track down. but that is a specific problem they had over 3 versions.
CCCRRAAAAPPPP...... i think updating the firmware broke my phone. my account cannot be validated.....
well. seems iv already hosed my phone..... can i get the link to those ruu's again and maybe some help figuring out which one is for my evo 3d?
if its already hosed suppose theres no harm in the ruu now.
ok. with ramjet73's guidance i have gotten up and running with a stock rom. i should be unrooted. i am s-off. hboot 1.58. no working recovery
what do i need to do to root and get jb roms working. hopefully not doing whatever it is i did wrong before.
thansk for the help.
Just to give an update, i flashed an ruu and have s-off. i did install teamwin recovery and can run ics roms it appears. however it seems jb roms still cannot boot.
i am stuck and not sure where to go from here.
Did you flash Hboot 1.04, 1.4, and or 1.5? JB roms will only boot using them.

Yes. however it still would not work. i ended up having to ruu the phone back to stock (thanks to ramjet73 for pointing out which version of the many i tried that was the correct one) and redoing the whole proccess. i still had problems, but it is working now (just gotta figure out why i only have 1x data access)
here is a hint for anyone that may be having the same trouble. i do not know if this was the issue, but install 4ext last. it was after a reinstall of 4ext that it started working. i do not know if this is what did it or if i just got lucky. as i read some people jsut have troubles and have to ruu adn do it all over again to get it to work. before doing this, just in case, try re installing 4ext. maybe that is a hint to what people cannot seem to find the problem as it does not happen often. maybe, i dont know. just glad its working.
