Okay so i've had my htc evo 3d for a while and i decided to root it finally.
i rooted it, everything was fine, it was s-on.
i flashed like 3 roms and everything was great, ....until i flashed a kernel.
i first used the MAC kernel, and it worked great.
but then i flashed the "No name" kernel from the same creator from the MAC kernel for the htc evo 3d and i got bootloops?
i also noticed it sent me back to Hboot 1.57 somehow? and i was on 1.58?
so, i went back into 4ext recovery and wiped everything and flashed a stock rom i had.
yet, i still have the bootloop going on...
what do i do? i really want my htc evo 3d back, i had to go back to my lg optimus V for now until someone can help me :/
Thank you for your time, and to whoever helps me with my semi-bricked device

It's not a Rom or kernel issue, try flashing my pg86img.zip in the EVO 3d gsm development thread, adding your own cid to the text file (this has only been tested on gsm) but if your already looping what's the harm in trying
But my htc is CDMA. Sorry I forgot to mention it's from virgin Mobile.

I don't think that's even relevant, but I'm gsm and can't test cdma so I can't tell you it works, but on another note, where's the harm in trying
S-on is an issue, I believe because you are s-on the kernel flash was bad, some kernels require s-off , did you try another kernel, or flashing bootimg through fastboot

Yeah I think it's an issue too. I've tried flashing the MAC kernel that worked before and nothing. Where can I find a bootimg? Is it the same as pg86img?

No, pg86img is the firmware but some Roms have the bootimg within the zip, just open your Rom with WinZip or 7zip extract bootimg and place it on your sdcard and flash it with fastboot

If you have the Virgin Mobile version of the Evo 3D the RUU.exe you want to use is the fourth one from the top on this page.
To flash the RUU.exe, if you have HTC unlocked the bootloader you will need to "fastboot oem lock" with the phone in the "fastboot USB" mode in the bootloader, then start the RUU.exe from Windows. It takes about 10 minutes to run and should leave you with a totally stock configuration, except the bootloader will say "***RELOCKED***" at the top instead of "***LOCKED***".
Before you run that it might be worth starting 4EXT recovery by using "fastboot boot recovery.img" from a PC and flashing a mostly stock rooted ROM like MeanROM ICS or CleanROM BE ICS because it sounds like you may just have a non-bootable kernel and 4EXT SmartFlash required for flashing kernels directly from recovery with S-ON won't work if the current kernel is not bootable. You could also try flashing the stock VM kernel from here after using the fastboot command to start recovery.

You should reflash a Stock ROM from RUU or extract ROM.ZIP to flash via Fastboot.

Thanks alot for your reply ramjet,
okay, well i tried downloading the 4th one from where you told me and file factory is giving me a "problem loading page" so i cant download it. i have my htc locked now and it says ***RELOCKED*** so all i need to do now is install the 4ext recovery through bootloader and flash the rom and kernel and run RUU,but i need your download.
Edit: So i tried flashing recovery.img through fastboot and i got "cannot load 'recovery.img'" ?
No, ramjet told you to flash 4ext recovery before you do anything, now you can't flash recovery because you have a locked bootloader.
if you still want to go the 4ext way, you will have to unlock bootloader via htcdev.com again or use the same unlock code.bin that you used previously. then fastboot flash the recovery. then get a Rom that works with your bootloader version and flash it using 4ext recovery with smartflash turned on.

so, m not new to this flashing n etc but wont consider myself as educated about rooting n stuff as most of you guys so i ask you for help!
i was s-off through j.bear method, rooted!,so flashed the ruu from Football weeks ago, ran fine, flashed reecovery gained root. everything was fine untill i decided to go on the Speed Rom 3.1.0 , i followed the instructions as always (fyi, i flashed countless roms on my mytouch 4g) i dont know where i went wrong but now
THE PROBLEM:
the problem now i have is the phone gets stuck on the HTC logo, boot screen or if i flash the official ics tmo ruu then it gets stuck on the tmo android logo. :/, it does not go any further than that.
i can access bootloader, recovery too. but after trying to flash different roms and updates, and also i tried to install the tmo stock ruu by relocking the bootloader again and then flashing it through bootloader but it does not help.
i m dyinggg here trying to fix it, may be its just a stupid mistake from me that i dont know you guys are the doctors of this stuff so i m hopefull ( a little)
any help will be greatly appreciated. thanks alot.
EDIT: I have also tried flashing roms through recovery
and bootloader too.
also tried wiping , factory settings,formating, dalvik ,cache, battery stats etc
flashed 4ext recovery , sometimes the recovery gives the error message that it CANT ACCESS INTERNAL STORAGE, i wonder why is that.
Edit 2:
fyi: right now i am RELOCKED ,S-OFF , HBOOT 1.93.0002

Its not that it can't flash it, but I've had it happen to me a couple of times, if I flashed a rom and didn't check the md5 and the kernel was messed up, it would flash, then get stuck on the HTC splash screen. Then flashing the kernel through easy kernel flasher it would load up the rom I was on.
I'm just giving another option to try, but I think if there's an issue with a kernel for whatever reason the next install there will be an issue with the kernel flash. Its happened to me a couple of times, and 4ext couldn't bail me out, but the kernel flasher did every time.

I have the same prob. . I've tried everything over the last week. Stock ruu, ice leak, every possible rom, eng hboot, wiping everything, even did a format on the internal sd through windows, Linux, cwm and nothing.. 4ext can't mount internal_SD and won't let me flash from SD card as won't mount either.. cwm recovery see's the internal, it works as I put data on it, disk checked it for errors and none.. I have not tried the kernal flash tool but did try through fast boot and hansoon's toolkit, does it flash it any different?? I will try later but I Def have the same problem.. and on ice leak it goes past the HTC screen till the T-Mobile splash.
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.

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.

extract the boot image from the rom, place it in adb folder and open cmd in that folder
shift+right click, open command window here
then connect phone in fastboot and type fastboot flash boot boot.img

Hey there
I had the same problem, just when I loaded the goodies rom it crashed. Can't do anything, except boot into TWRP. Basically if I try to reflash a rom it should solve my problem?
Most likely you need to flash the kernel, use that image flash app or adb tools/android SDK to flash it in fastboot
I had a feeling
First, thanks
Ok, can I use TWRP to flash the Kernel or is there an app or pc that ill have to use?
You can use fastboot to flash the kernel or the image flash app, I havent got a link for it right now but its probably in themes and apps or original development
No PC
I don't have a PC to use. I'm wondering if I could go recovery->advance->terminal command. I see a fast lot process, but requires a PC.
Not that I know of, you need access to fastboot
Dumlock?
Reading on dumlock, else return to project when computer is available. Thanks for the help.
You can't use dumlock without access to android
So it appears
*sigh* got all excited flashed a rom without a kernel, and now **** out of luck. Seemed so much easier for my OGEVO. So my only option is to do a fast boot with a PC using the .zip I have on the sdcard?
Hi,
I already had an unlocked bootloader but I installed a ROM that updated my HBOOT to 1.58 LOCKED. Now I was trying to wipe that with a super wipe and now I'm stuck being unable to get to the recovery (it just brings me back to the bootloader) and my normal start up is stuck at the HTC logo. Can anybody tell me what I should do? What direction I should go into fixing this? I already had s-off from before.

You probably don't have recovery. There are many threads on "how to install recovery"..Also, you have this: (It works on both CDMA - which you have, I suppose, and GSM)

What pro said. Also, if you're s-off, the locked bootloader doesn't matter. If you have trouble after trying to flash a recovery, you could also run the ruu.exe to reset everything back to stock (you'll stay s-off) and then flash a new hboot and recovery and then custom ROM. I did that recently and it fixed my issues.
Thanks for the fast replies both of you. That's really interesting situation because I know I had recovery before. You think I should still go for it?
EDIT: Looking at that video it looks like its installing an app, my phone won't get past booting up. Basically all I got is my HBOOT. I'm going to try what coal suggested.
What Coal told me to do worked, I'm back into stock and it boots up fine now. I'm going to try to get a new hboot and recovery now.
I was able to get down to 1.4 HBOOT again and flashed a CM10 ROM. Thanks for your help guys, you lead me in the right direction
You are welcome..

You would just have flashed another recovery using a PG86IMG.zip. or fastboot ..

The "LOCKED" or "RELOCKED" status matters if you are trying to flash boot,recovery partitions etc using fastboot.

I agree that it matters, but you can gain access to those fastboot commands if you are S-OFF by flashing a custom recovery such as JBear, Revolutionary, or the engineering (ENG) bootloader, at least on the CDMA model of the Evo 3D/V. I highly recommend that over unlocking the bootloader since having a locked hboot makes it much easier to return to 100% stock. Not so much with relocked since the only way to get rid of that status is to set S-ON and do the wire tick.

Hello all, and thank you for taking your time to attempt to help me with my problem.
I could not find a solution even after hours of researching and trial and error, so please forgive me if this happens to be one of those problems that are seemingly impossible to solve, when the actual solution is really quite simple! I'm hoping it is at the very least...
A few days ago I received an HTC Evo 3d from a family member.
I'm certain that the phone was completely stock, never rooted, no custom ROMs ---- just an ordinary HTC 3vo.
So I decide that I'm going to go ahead and find the steps necessary in order to flash a custom ROM, and I believe I did with this:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1889438
I followed the guide, and eventually got to "***Step3: Perform JuopunutBear (wire trick) to get S-OFF status" where I had a little difficulty with the timing of the taps on the SD card. At one point I removed the battery from my phone because I thought it was stuck on the screen with the green arrow pointing downward, and after trying to reboot I found that the same JuopunutBear screen with the green arrow was still there.
I removed the battery once more, but this time when booting I held the volume down button to initiate bootloader. That went successfully, and so after trying the methods I found at http://unlimited.io/jbtroubleshooting.htm to remove this screen, I figured that I might try and flash a ROM from recovery and maybe that would fix it?xD My logic proved only half correct because even after formatting data/cache/dalvik, and then flashing a few different ROMs (not in the order of course) to see if any of them would allow the phone to boot up completely into OS, the phone is now stuck in a bootloop :'(
If I didn't provide enough information in the above description then I'd be glad to give any more details.
My bootloader reads like this:
- Juopunutbear -
SHOOTER XC SHIP S-OFF RL
HBOOT-1.57.5757
eMMC-boot

^ Never noticed that the date is inaccurate before typing all of this out! Not sure that has anything to do with my problem here, but still interesting..
Thank you again for taking your time to help me.
This phone has given me trouble since it was first given to me lol.
The first issue before rooting or anything was with the inability to use wifi!
I ended up having to buy service for the phone to even register my Gmail account..
You're in good shape
With s off you can recover easily.
The question is what do you want to run?
If you're going to stay ics sense, then you'll just need to format all partitions except sd and flash a Rom
If you want to run a jb Rom, you need to downgrade your hboot to the jbear 1.50

I think the date is the release of the bootloader or something...shouldn't be today's date

Thank you for the reply
I'll try flashing different sense ROMs specifically,
and see if it will boot all the way through to the home screen.
Have you installed a recovery?
I suggest 4ext
Sent from my PG86100 using xda app-developers app
I have installed a recovery, and it just happens to be 4ext!
I've been installing my ROMs by toggling usb storage in recovery, placing the ROM on the root of my microSD, and after disconnecting from usb storage I proceed to flash the chosen ROM, provided I've already wiped everything.
My trouble usually comes afterward when the ROM has completed it's installation and I go to reboot. Every time I've tried so far I've encountered a bootloop :/ But we'll see this time!
Gotcha
You'll get it sorted
What Rom are you trying now?
Sometimes you need to flash the boot.IMG after the Rom, but that usually only happens if youre s on.
If it still bootloops I would try this next:
Boot to recovery
Wipe all partitions
Reboot recovery
Wipe all partitions again
Flash Rom
Reboot phone
If all else fails you can run the ruu (will return u to stock Rom and recovery) and you will keep s off but will need to install recovery again.

I chose Team d3rp - Lights Out just to see if it would work, and to my surprise it did!!!
I wiped everything but my sd manually once,
and after flashing the ROM, the aroma installer gave the option to wipe again so I did.
After a suspenseful minute or two during the reboot, I finally got everything set up!
I can't thank you enough..!!
I'm not sure if I should make another thread or not, but the only problem I see now is with the wifi.
I have it connected to my network, and it's showing full signal,
but I can't access the internet and 3g doesn't even pick up when wifi is on.
If needed I'll make another thread, but I figured I would ask just in case!
I appreciate all the help so far.
Try a reboot or different kernel...don't know why it doesn't work

Hello, a couple of days ago I received an HTC Evo 3D, but I don't like the stock HTC rom, so I decided to use NonSense (http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1507616). I updated firmware, and installed CWM 6.0, wiped partitions and installed that ROM. But now i got a bootloop :/ .
Bootloader is unlocked..

S-off, I think it has to be s-on, hboot 1.53.0007, i'm currently trying to use RUU get back to stock, RUU says :
from image version 3.28.401.1 to 3.28.631.1
But it fails because of model id.
Bootloader is currently relocked.

You can only flash sense based ROMs with that h-boot. Since you're s-off just downgrade your h-boot to 1.49.0007 or 1.49.1107 and you can flash anything you want
Sent from my Nokia 3310 using Tapatalk
Oh crap, made a mistake, I have s-on.
Then you can only flash sense based ROMs. Try Cool ICS, it's great. Or do s-off ?

I was about to download that, hopefully it'll work. :fingers-crossed:
You need 4ext recovery and smartflash enabled because Cool uses custom kernel

I tried with CWM, and after a successful flash and boot, I flashed boot.img via fastboot, seems to be working, thank you!
