Originally had a stock Evo then decided to root it and install a custom rom.
I rooted it using the RegawMod
Then I tried to use goomanager to install the rom, but this didn't work
So I tried to manually install the rom through TWRP, I made a backup then I flashed the superwipe(smw6180) script and flashed that first then I flashed the custom rom I downloaded (UR_EVO_4G_LTE_SIX)
Now, when I reboot it shows the HTC boot screen, then goes to black.
I am able to get back into recovery pretty easily but am not able to restore my backup, I still keep getting the black screen
Also whenever I am flashing my backup or my new rom, its says that it took 0 seconds to complete, which I find very odd
The recovery page looks like this
***Tampered***
***Unlocked***
Jewel put ship s-on rl
Hboot 1.15.000
Radio 1.05.11.0606
Open dsp v251.0.32.0405
eMMC-boot

Does anyone have any suggestions to how to fix this? I have searched everywhere but no one has any real answers.
You have to flash the kernel separately.
Easiest thing to do, go to the TeamWin website and get the latest twrp recovery image and a copy of meanrom from the development section, fastboot flash recovery and install meanrom, it has a kernel installer so you don't have to flash the kernel separately

Would it be possible to install the PJ75IMG.zip and do this through the bootloader. Then flash mean rom?
Or do I have to do the ADB Fastboot method?

There's an app called flashGUI in playstore that installs kernel for you. But it doesn't always work and can mess up. In that case you will need adb tools to get it working right. So it is reccomended u go ahead and learn adb tools, may as well install kernel with it.

Ok, I am not entirely sure what kernel I should use? Where should I look? The UR_Evo page?

MeanROM 4.0 and above has a built in kernal installer included so no need to flash the kernal separately
Thanks for all of your responses. I used fastboot to install a recovery, then installed meanrom.
Everything seems to be working perfect!!
I also got my foot in the door with using adb, which is awesome.
The kernel is the boot.img in any rom. So, if u want to flash anything other than mean rom flash the boot.img either before or after u flash the whole rom. Not too hard really

I bought this 3D used but like new and wanted to flash it to Boost so I was doing some preliminary pre-flash things like rooting and loading a custom recovery and rom. I used the HTC unlock method for the bootloader and flashed Eternity and it stuck at Beats screen (boot animation). I downloaded a different rom to see if it was the rom but that one froze at the animation screen as well. I attempted to do an RUU stock reset on my PC from bootloader but it returned an error saying update failed. I'm basically locked out of this phone. I read everything it said about flashing custom kernels and how you are supposed to flash them from bootloader. I know Eternity has a stock kernel don't know about the other one. My last resort is to download a zip of a stock rom and flash that from recovery. If it freezes on me I'm not sure what I'll do next. Any help is appreciated...

Did you follow the root instructions all the way through to install Superuser and the recovery? If so, did you boot into fastboot, connect usb, then do the fastboot boot recovery.img before flashing the rom?

I did not use that method to flash, no. I'm assuming you mean from my PC execute the command. I did follow the instructions to install TWRP which is a custom recovery and I flashed a ZIP from TWRP for Superuser and checked it to be working which it was. (I tested Root Explorer and Terminal Emulator for root)
I was operating off the assumption that custom roms with a STOCK kernel could be flashed by booting into recovery. I went to bootloader then recovery then flashed the rom. Obviously I did something wrong since both roms wouldn't load. I will use your method of PC commands from fastboot into recovery and see where that gets me....pease let me know if this is correct or anything else I need to do....thanks a bunch.
UPDATE : I tried the method of loading recovery from fastboot usb - it worked thank you. The rom loaded. I'm wondering why since it was a custom rom with a stock kernel why I couldn't flash it from recovery.

While the kernel is stock, Virus has a bunch of binaries and such that will be mismatched without flashing the boot.img properly ... So while some of his builds say "stock" not always completely stock.

Not true. You can flash a ROM but if you don't use fastboot it won't touch the kernel. I always change roms with the stock kernel. He must have done something wrong

If the kernel is pure stock with no added binaries or stuff it will work. Virus puts lots of little tweaks in that require it. Now if you can load a completely stock kernel and ramdisk then load Eternity (of course some eternity builds did have a completely stock kernel) then you may be onto something.
As far as flashing with hboot 1.50 easiest way to do that without the computer is with joeykrm's flash image gui. I don't have 1.50 but I have used his gui to do partial updates on svn builds in tandem with adb sync and it works great. His post with the apk is in development section. just read the instructions and flash away.

Yeah I read all about it I'm still stuck on why if I had a stock kernel installed with a stock rom and I do a custom rom flash and as stated it doesn't touch the kernel why the rom wouldn't simply run off the stock kernel - that's what confuses me. I understand the issue of the kernel not being flashed which is obviously what happened with me. I just don't really know where I stand with what kernel to ALWAYS have loaded since if that's the thing with the issue I would want to for purposes of not doing tons of work stay away from flashing kernels and stick to flashing roms when I want to change it up. But if the STOCK kernel won't load with a custom rom which technically it should I guess I'll just have to flash a universal custom kernel and assume any rom I flash will simply use that kernel. Kind of a nightmare compared to my 4G....welcome to the world of the 3D I guess.
I guess going into recovery from hboot with the volume and power buttons wouldn't count - I have to stick with PC commands?
Okay, so I was having a hell of a time trying to install Roms after unlocking. All the usual ways didn't work. Flat out.
What I found out:
I have to use Clockwork Mod 4.0.1.4 (TWR can't restore the nand it creates and Flash_Utility GUI doesn't work)
I have to flash a kernal within Clockwork after flashing the Rom (flashing a boot.img in fastboot doesn't work even though it says it was successful)
I have NO clue why my phone doesn't play nice with boot image like other phones. Luckily Tiamat writes good kernels

You have to add superuser to the ROM and give necessary permissions to Flash image GUI to flash kernels with it.
Which ROM are you trying to flash? Do you GSM or CDMA Evo 3D?
Flashing boot.img in fastboot should work.It does say not successful as you stated.
Make sure you bootloader says unlocked and flash kernels/ROMs based on 2.3.4 if your phone came with 2.3.4.
@Mes3 ,
Does this sound similar to your problem?
[help]HTC Unlocked ROM/Recovery install Problems (fastboot/FlashimageGui/RomMgr)
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1450466
I been searching around all over the place and I am just hitting my head against the wall. Any help would be appreciated.
This is my setup: hboot 1.5 S-ON, I have unlocked using the HTC method. I have Revolutionary CWM recovery installed.
I am looking to update the Kernel and Radio/PRI of the phone to the latest versions. (I haven't done it in a very long time.)
By what I read, since I have hboot 1.5 updating the kernel seems close to impossible. I did read that I may have to go to a Stock Rom and update via sprint OTA to get the latest updates then unlock again? That doesnt sound right to me.
I am all types of confused. Part of this was started because I wanted to try the MeanROM (link:http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1466362) and also update my phone. Everything I try to do fails or I cant do because of the 1.5 or the S-ON.
Hopefully i am making some sense. I dont know what I have to do to get the latest kernel or if it even is possible.
If you are rooted already the only thing you need to do is install flash GUI app (you can get it in the market) and flash the kernel (boot.img) file before you flash the ROM and you should be OK
There is a myth that if your on 1.5 s-on your doomed, that's not true. It does mean that you'll need an extra step to do things but you'll be able to get things done without issues.

Thank you for the reply, so I understand I can load that application, unzip the rom I want which will have the boot.img. Then flash that boot.img and then install that rom, is that correct? Lastly, does this also update the radio and pri?

If your firmware is compatible with the Rom and kernel yes. If not, you will brick your phone or features will not work as they have to do. After you install flash GUI go to browse button and you will be advertised that file is too large for a kernel or recovery image, then asks if it is a valid Rom zip file. Tap yes and it will search the kernel inside the Rom. After it finishes tap flash and after reboot in recovery(you have to have recovery.img in root of your SD card), next wipe dalvik and cache, install zip and wait until the phone finishes. It is also recommended to you to make a nandroid backup before install anything.

For the EVO 3D, much like the EVO 4G, the custom ROMs generally do not contain the radio or pri images.
There are some different reasons for this, but one of the common reasons being some users claim to experience different radio performance based on their geographic loation in relation to different versions of the radio and pri images.

The only clarification to this post would be having recovery.img in the root of your SD card is not required for rebooting into recovery mode. In order for a custom recovery to load, when rebooting into recovery mode, the recovery.img has to have been flashed previously. Flash Image GUI can also flash the recovery.img to the recovery partition so when you reboot into recovery, the proper custom recovery loads. Most users flash custom recoveries infrequently when compared to how often they flash ROMs so the process for flashing the recovery process isn't covered as often.
In general, regarding the OP's original question of flashing the "MeanROM", the Flash Image GUI thread provides a great beginner step by step guide I wrote to help walk thru the general overview and process. I've quoted it below for easy reference.
Appreciate all the support of Flash Image GUI! I'll echo the optimism for hboot 1.5 s-on unlocked users, most everything is still possible. HTC just requires an extra few steps which can be frustrating, but once they are learned, the process is fairly smooth.
Hope the clarification helps iron out any confusion on the details!
HTC Unlock - Hboot 1.5 Users Guide for ROMs with a Kernel (boot.img file):
1) Unlock using HTC method for Hboot 1.5 users
2) Load this application, Flash Image GUI, onto the device, either through the Market or the link provided in this OP.
3) Download ROM .zip file to the sdcard on the device.
4) Open up Flash Image GUI, select Browse and select the ROM .zip file, downloaded to /sdcard in the previous step.
5) Flash Image GUI will provide a warning, reminding that the ROM .zip file will *need* to be flashed in the custom recovery afterward.
6) Flash Image GUI will index the full ROM .zip file searching for the kernel and kernel modules. Once located, the Flash Image button should be enabled.
7) Select the Flash Image button and Flash Image GUI will load the kernel modules and kernel from inside the ROM zip file.
8) Select reboot recovery.
9) Inside the custom recovery, load/flash the ROM zip file.
10) Reboot to normal Android mode and all should work including Wifi!

i followed the instructions on the CyanogenMod wiki (http://wiki.cyanogenmod.org/w/Install_CM_for_jewel) to install CM 10.2 on my EVO 4G LTE.
i am able to launch TWRP 2.7.0.8 and receive a notice that CM 10.2 flashes successfully but when i try to reboot into the system, i see the white htc screen, the screen goes black and the whole thing just repeats itself until the battery dies or i get back into recovery and shut down.
there is a note at the bottom that says " if unlocked with HTCDev Unlock, must have its kernel flashed via fastboot." since i used the instructions on that page, i assumed this didn't apply to me, otherwise it would have been included within the instructions.
i have installed CM on my old captivate and my Nexus 7 successfully, so i have done this before by following instructions, but am at a loss as to what happened this time. any tips would be greatly appreciated!
If you're S-on you have to flash the kernel separately from the ROM. Hit the top link in my sig and scroll down to the section on S-on kernel flashing for more info.

No, you can't use TWRP, at least not for flashing in recovery. You do have a few options, though. You can use the paid app Flash Image GUI from the Play Store, use the TWRP Dumlock feature (link can be found in my guide), or get S-off (your best bet). There is a link in my guide on how to set up ADB on your computer, so maybe that will get you headed in the right direction.

Hi, first of all, my English is bad and i'm a noob at installing custom roms
My HOX+ is rooted and i have the TWRP Recovery installed.
So, i downloaded the newest CM11 Nightly for my device (enrc2b) from the Cyanogenmod site.
When i try to flash it with TWRP it says:
Skipping MD5 check: no MD5 file found
Can't install this package on top of incompatible data. Please try another package or run a factory reset
E:Error executing updater binary in zip ' /sdcard/cm-11-20140902-NIGHTLY-enrc2b.zip
Error flashing zip ' /sdcard/cm-11-20140902-NIGHTLY-enrc2b.zip
I also downloaded a Snapshot version of CM11
It says:
Skipping MD5 check: no MD5 file found
set_metadata_recursive: some changes failed
E:Error executing updater binary in zip ' /sdcard/cm-11-20140308-SNAPSHOT-M4-enrc2b.zip
Error flashing zip ' /sdcard/cm-11-20140308-SNAPSHOT-M4-enrc2b.zip
So finally i downloaded the CM10.2.1 Version
I wiped all cache and data and did a factory reset.
After flashing the .zip and rebooting the phone, but i got stuck in a boot loop (i think) because i waited like 20 minutes but the boot animation didn't change (blue guy with the arrow). Did i do something wrong
I just restored my phone to the backup i made (stock rom)
If you need any information about my phone or something just say it.
I also heard about using CWM instead of TWRP but i don't know how to change it.
PLZ HELP :crying:

Do you mean with "boot.img" the recovery-clockwork-touch-6.0.4.8-enrc2b.img
This is all i did (i dunno of the screenshot will display i uploaded it as attachment)
I've flashed the recovery.img, thats also the only thing i downloaded on the CWM site.
I also downloaded the Cyanogenmod rom on the CyanogenMod Download site or do i have to download it from the CWM enrc2b Roms?

But is there a special HOX+ boot.img or a Cyanogenmod boot.img or whatever i need? And where can i find it

you can find it inside the rom zip file, just extract it into your adb/fastboot folder and flash it (in fastboot mode) using "fastboot flash boot boot.img". also i recommend (maybe not necessary) using "fastboot erase cache" before and after flashing boot.img.
Also you may need to reflash rom in recovery after flashing boot.img.

Stock boot image
You can flash the Nik3r version to come back to the stock boot image.
And you need to flash the GAPPS in recovery for the Google apps

If you want to go back to stock completely (including relocked bootloader) you will need everything completely stock and matching your phones CID. Of course you will need to flash the corresponding boot.img for every rom. But as far as i know/tried, nik3rs oxp_kk kernel works for all 4.4 roms and the other version works for all Sense5 based custom roms and maybe stock rom (if you don't need relocked bootloader).

no, oxp_kk is just for 4.4 (kitkat) AOSP like roms. there's another non- kk version which works with 4.2.2/sense5 roms, but i don't know about stock roms. There's also a fallback kernel version which should work with all stock and custom 4.2.2/Sense 5 roms.
