Just installed Adrenaline 2.0 ROM (http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1787428&highlight=stuck), following directions to flash in recovery.
I didnt clearly see it stated that the rom did or didnt require a wipe, so to be safe i wiped anyway and did a factory reset just to be sure.
After flashing in recovery, i flashed the S-ON Kernel from post 3, and follow directions to install in hboot.
I can still get into recovery, however now when booting phone sits at the HTC Quietly Rooted screen.
Attempted restoring NAND backup, but phone hangs at the original ICS OTA boot screen "Quietly Brilliant"
Any help is greatly appreciated!
should i just give up and flash a different rom?
Im looking for something thats senseless, running ICS and has good battery life. Any recommendations?
What you are running into are kernel issues. I suggest you S-OFF and you can flash any rom and nand will work for the kernel.

it's a lot easier to go into the downloaded rom file. double click on it to enter it, copy the boot.img file and copy it to your adb folder on your pc. if you need more detailed instructions check out post #4: ▼▼▼

thread you linked me to was extremely informative, helped me fix my issue.
And to the user whom suggested i go S-OFF, i definitely plan on doing it, since it seems the benefits far outweigh the cons.
Thanks for the help! My rezound is now up and running like the champ it is xD
If you decide you want someo.e to walk you thru the procedure hit me up on gtalk I'll be more than willing to walk you thru it..

Sometimes that issue is caused by not having cleared cache and dalvik cache between ROM versions, but you did that with a full wipe. I am S-On too and here is my procedure for flashing a new ROM, hope it helps. Just replace RAGE with Adrenaline or your rom name.
1) Make Nandroid Backup / Backup System and User Apps in Titanium Backup
2) Full Wipe in Amon Ra
3) Flash Latest Version of RAGE in Amon Ra
4) Flash boot.img extracted from RAGE zip
5) Reboot
6) Once verifying everything booted OK, go back to amon ra and flash Neo's latest inverted gapps package
7) Reinstall Titanium Backup, restore User Apps but not system apps.
8) in TiBu, restore system data such as dialer storage on a per-app basis.

Did you fastboot flash the boot.img? I believe I had the same issue and that's what I did. But I'm not sure. Maybe someone else can chime in.

I bought an evo 3d from a guy today off craiglist and he gave it to me with MIUI loaded onto it. So I figured no problem I will just restore to factory and do what I want to do rooting wise from there. I did a factory restore but it is still running MIUI and I don't know how to get it uninstalled and back to factory. It is running HBOOT 1.50 so I tried to flash a new rom via fastboot-->recovery even though I know that wont leave the rom completely working right but I was just trying to get rid of this MIUI rom. It said it flashed correctly but nothing changed on reboot it is still running MIUI. He gave it to me with the HBOOT unlocked already. Is there anyone that can help me getting a different rom, preferrably one as close to sense as possible running on this thing? I never ran into problems like this with my EVO 4g. Thanks to all!

If already unlocked, using fastboot to get into recovery and flashing from there should have worked.
I would fastboot oem lock the device. Then running an ruu to get to stock. Wipe the entire sd card. Then follow htc evo hacks guide to root/unlock. Hboot 1.5.
That will unlock it again and give you your recovery. (I would probably use twrp instead of cwm if I were you).
Once done with that go ahead and flash su and make your nand backup. Should be good to go after that.

If you relock the device, run the RUU first, then fastboot oem lock. You should try the superwipe tool located in the development thread under InfectedROM Eternity, Then try flashing a ROM. There are a few ROMs that are pretty stock, including a basic sense ROM with very few alterations. Head over to development and check them out.

yeah I did a factory reset by going through menu-->settings-->about phone-->factory reset and tried factory resetting through recovery mode but as soon as it boots it looks like it has been reset. Unfortunately after I do the touch android character to continue options (sign into google, etc) it just goes straight into miui rather than how a factory evo 3d should look which is running gingerbread. Its so frustrating.

Doing a factory reset is not the same as wiping.
You need to do a full wipe from recovery. Boot into the bootloader by hooking your phone up to the pc, navigate to your adb and fastboot folder and type:
Code:
adb reboot bootloader
Then type:
Code:
fastboot boot recovery.img
Once in recovery flash the superwipe.zip I mentioned before, then flash a ROM.
Check out this thread for information on how to get fastboot and adb, where to put them, and everything else you need to know about flashing with 1.5.
Then, before you do anything with your phone, look here for the superwipe.zip

thanks. im still having a problem cause the phone is running TWRP recovery and the bootloader is unlocked but he wiped the SD card so all the files that should be on it after the unlock and flash of the recovery are gone. Im having a huge problem trying to get this MIUI off the phone. I just want to get it back to running a stock rom so I can activate it on my line and I am not too good with this whole unrooting stuff. Is there a simple way to do it? I tried going through fastboot--recovery then flashing the superwipe but it just ended up causing the phone to be stuck on the white screen on reboot with the green HTC.

After you wipe the hone you need to flash a ROM. When you wipe the phone it is completely blank.
Are you just doing a factory reset and rebooting? If so, that won't get you back to an HTC ROM. You need to wipe and then flash a new ROM. That will get you off of miui.
So you flashed the super wipe and then didn't flash a ROM? You have no OS loaded on your phone. Download a ROM, put it on your sd card, and flash it. Make sure it's a sense ROM since you'll need to be on a sense ROM to activate it. No need to unroot.

No I used superwipe and then flashed clean rom 2.9.5 but it got stuck on the white screen on the reboot.
Do I have to use adb to run fastboot and then go into recovery or can I turn the phone off, boot into fastboot by holding power, vol down and going into recovery?

Since you're on hboot 1.5, you either need to flash using joeykrim's flash image gui app, or you need to put your phone in Gaynor, plug into the computer, and from the command prompt on your computer boot your recovery image. It's something like fastboot boot recovery.img. You will need to search for the exact command. Once you boot into recovery using that method you will be fine, just use recovery like normal. If you don't use one of those two methods you won't be able to flash the boot.img, so the phone won't boot. Good luck.

I cleared everything by formatting the system and clearing the cache and data and nothing. I tried a different rom, MeanRom and same thing. Right before it seems like it is going to get me to the unlock screen, reboot. I can get into the bootloader and the recovery just fine but no matter what i install, reboot, reboot, reboot.

Did you change/update your radios at all?
I am not sure of the software version. I tried going back to unrooted stock with RUU_Shooter_U_HTC_ARA_1.24.415.2_Radio_10.55.9020.00_10.13.9020.29_M_release_208706_signed and it gave me a version error.
I am running radio 0.97.10.0808 according to the relocked screen that I am getting while trying to restore to unlocked sprint stock.
And now I see the difference in radio and the version in the restore file.
Thanks for the assistance, my Epic Touch 4g has been so simple to tinker with, this thing is a pain in the rear.
The RUU you installed was for the GSM version of the phone, re-run the CDMA version. The GSM version is called Shooter_U whereas the sprint version is just called Shooter.
I'm guessing this would be a good place to start?
http://www.scottsroms.com/downloads.php?do=cat&id=4
I will try this one when I get home today. Hopefully I can get it back stock and then start over and get a functional custom ROM working.
The wife was not to happy I blew up her phone yesterday trying to update it, I am guessing she is not going to let me "fix" it again.
Yupp, install one of them, not sure which one will allow you to do the HTC unlock though.
I think I figured out what I did wrong in the first place. Someone please correct me if I am wrong. I forgot that 1.5 S-ON can't just install the ROM from the standard recovery method like I can with my Epic Touch 4G. I think I need follow the "How to Flash Any ROM or Kernel You Want" instructions from http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1239821. I just booted to recovery and tried to install the ROM. Does this sound about right?

I didn't look at the link you posted. But with hboot 1.5 you can not write to the boot partition from recovery. In order to do this you need to extract the boot img from the ROM your gonna flash and fastboot flash boot boot.img then fastboot boot recovery.img will take you to recovery and flash ROM from there

You actually dont need to do both. If you just do a fastboot boot recovery.img it will give you complete access, including flashing the kernal. So after you type that command, it will load a the custom recovery and when you flash the rom, it will flash the kernel included with the rom as well. FYI you need to do a fastboot boot recovery.img each time you want to flash a kernel. If you arent changing kernals then you can just go into recovery as you normally would and flash a rom. If you want to flash a kernal without hooking up to a computer, then read into Flash Image GUI.

This is what I thought, The first one I tried was the newest version of ViperRom. I first tried to just flash over top of the existing rom with the hope I would not have to reset everything and make her start over with how she had it setup, I guess the newest version had a newer kernel. Hopefully I am able to get it back to a functional state this afternoon.

I believe that does have the anthrax kernel havent downloadedthe new version. However i know some people have been having problems with roms that are based off the new OTA if their phones still have the old firmware. Definatly flash teh kernel/boot via fastboot recovery that should take care of the problem.
Correction not anthrax.
I got everything back working yesterday, I guess doing it correct the first time will save me some headache. I just need to remeber to start recovery from windows instead of from the bootloader screen. Thanks for the assistance.

You need to flash boot.img/kernel using fastboot or Flash image GUI or else you will face issues if the ROM uses kernel other than your current one.
This is the limitation of HTC unlock method (S-ON)

I did wipe all the way. How do I tell whether I have 2.08 or 2.17. if the phone not able to start up?
I flashed boot.img using fastboot. I just realized that the bootloader when doing and Hboot tries to load the image indicates no image or wrong image.
I am either missing a step or did something wrong.
Please help!
did you make a backup of Infected before you flashed?
When you say you installed Warm did you install and actually get it fully booted and set up your home screens and all that and it only stuck on the first reboot after? or was it right after you flashed warm?
Really if you made a backup of infected or what you were running before you should be able to restore that via recovery then boot up normal. Then use FlashImageGUI to flash the kernel needed for Warm, then reboot into recovery mode and flash the other portion of the Rom from the custom recovery.
Unfortunately, I did not back up Infected or other previous roms. I didn't know that I should, I only backed up my apps using Titanium. I now know better.
Still stuck in loop mode. I have been searching the forums for some possible solutions but so far nothing has worked.
I am up the creek without a paddle...
kongfooey said:
I used Titanium Backup to back up apps etc. is that the same as backing up the rom (Infected)?
If I had the backup how do I recover using recovery? I have been reading other posts in the forum and have tried some of the suggestions. I wiped the data and cache.

na TiBackup isn't the same as backing up the Rom itself.
Full backups are done from within the custom recovery...
the boot.img you pushed via fastboot earlier. where did you get it from?
Silly me... I realized that Titanium backup was not the correct backup after I posted.
I took the image from the Warm zip file. I initially thought the problem was fixed until I realized that the phone is in an endless loop...

well to be honest I would just go back and start form scratch at this point since pushing the kernel via fastboot somehow didn't take for you nor did clearing cache's after the fact.
after pushing the kernel via fastboot, have you tried doing that again, and then going into recovery and flashing the rom again? If that doesn't work you might as well just go back to stock and push stock kernel flash stock rooted OTA, boot up, and use FlashImageGUI to push the Warm kernel then go back to flashing the Warm rom in recovery...
really before pushing the stock kernel if you wanna test to see if your initial push of Warm kernel even took fully just fully wipe data and try flashing infected again in recovery. If it boots fine then you know your fastboot push didn't take before to begin with...
Edit:
before i even really get more into this. does Warm even use another kernel beside the stock one? If they dont then all of this could of resulted from a bad download of the rom itself being flashed...
Sgt. Slaughter, I salute you...
I played around with your suggestions. Got it working... I flashed a different boot.img and it solved the problem. I may have gotten a bad Warm rom...
Thanks again!!!
Note: if you took/installed the latest update (2.17.651.5) you won't be able to use roms based off earlier firmware/kernels (ie 2.08.651.2 or 651.3) b/c of kernel differences (I think I've read that somewhere).
I believe Warmtwopointthree and Infected are not using the latest base/kernel.
Edit: saw you posted right before me. So what kernel/boot.img did you use?

Nice good to hear. Fact you had your phone even semi-booting makes solving anything wrong with it usually trial and error and ends up not being so bad to fix...
I used boot.img from OTXE Titan HD ODEXed New Beats!
I need to educate myself a bit more about the differences between kernel and .imgs etc...

I'm having a very similar issue, I rooted my Evo using Revolutionary and installed CW Recovery and everything was fine so I tried installing ZR3D and part way through the install, my phone turned off and now it wont get past the HTC boot screen. I went into CW Recovery but nothing is working, no matter what option I choose [even Turn off phone or reboot] it gives me the CW logo but nothing happens.
I have HBOOT 1.49.1107 with S-Off
Try reflashing your recovery threw hboot.

Can you boot into Fast boot? If so, try connecting your phone to a computer and flashing a recovery through there. Then try to install the ROM.

I have a new HTC Evo LTE and HBOOT 1.15.000 Radio 1.05.11.0606and do not have S-OFF.
I installed Fresh 5.2.1 and had problems, when back and did a wipe including system and installed 5.2.1 again and it didn't work. After doing that I went back, wiped system again, and then restored the backup I previously made. Now the backup sometimes loads, sometimes doesn't, but even when it does I have no radio. I am going to try to install a stock rom through recovery or fresh 5.1.1 and HOPE I get radio back.
Any other suggestions of what I could do?

So now I'm just in a boot loop. I relocked, installed stock recovery and ran RUU. When I did that I booted just long enough that I could almost slide the ring to unlock before I rebooted. Then the device just constantly reboots.
I unlocked again, installed TWRP 2.2.2.0 in case there was a bug causing flashing issues. Recovery boots just fine now. I flashed Stock Rooted DeOdexed 1.22.651.3 from here since that was the version I had before this whole fiasco. I'm going to try to restore backup again but don't know how to get out of this horrible mess. Worse part about it is that it's my wife's phone! Help please!
You might need to run a different RUU. I'm not too experienced with that kind of issue though.

I reflashed stock recovery, relocked bootloader (fastboot oem lock), ran RUU (RUU_JEWEL_CL_ICS_40_Sprint_WWE_1.22.651.3_Radio_1. 05.11.0606_NV_SPCS_2.45_003_release_268323_signed. exe), and still had the boot loop problem. RUU said it completed but the bootloader still said "relocked". Isn't RUU supposed to totally wipe and restore the entire device?
I recall on my old EVO there was a zip you could place in the SDcard that the bootloader automatically looked for and would use to reflash to factory everything. Is there a way to do this with the EVO 4g LTE?
Is it possible that radios/firmware somehow got borked even though I am on S-ON? Is there a way to reflash them from bootloader?
Just thinking through ideas I'd try next and something that could possibly help recover or at least put me in a position to go back to Sprint for help.
Could have been a bad download. I think there is info on re locking in the development sticky section. It might give you some more information on what to do next.

Just an update. Flashed again a stock ROM and installed the boot.img from stock using fastboot to be sure it was in place. (fastboot flash boot boot.img). That didn't work, still had boot loop where the phone loads enough to show the background and then restarts.
Used the PJ75IMG.zip file and attempted to install automatically in bootloader (from here) <-- Didn't install says "Main Version is older! Update Fail!
I then installed stock recovery and locked bootloader. Bootloader now shows "*** TAMPERED*** and *** RELOCKED***.
Ran RUU <-- Have a hard time doing anything since it doesn't boot up long enough to connect. Eventually RUU will fail with a connection error. I haven't been able to run RUU from HBOOT either and without the device stable long enough I'm not sure how to get RUU to run on the phone.
Still only boot far enough to see the background screen (wallpaper) and then reboot.
I'll gladly give $20 to anyone who offers a workable solution, paid either to you, or dev/charity of your choice if you don't want it.
This all started when I installed Fresh 5.2.1. Not sure if it was the fresh install or using TWRP to wipe data/cache and I also wiped system. Was that a mistake?
I just don't understand why I can't flash back even to stock. Since I'm relocked and never had S-OFF I don't understand how I was able to do something that can't be undone by flashing. I've flashed phones dozens of times so am comfortable with the process and just can't understand what went wrong and how to recover.
Is there an updated version of the PJ75IMG.zip file I could use?
Would it work to flash CM10 & the boot.img using fastboot?

I'm back up and running. With a kind and helpful tech we ran RUU again (twice) and still had boot loop. I was going to give up on it but we went into the default recover and cleared data and factory reset and it seems to be back to normal again and working fine.

Running ICS rooted S on
flashed "Official jb ruu 3.15.651.16 Odex. zip" using TWRP it said it was successful. Went back to reboot system. The phone got to the htc quietly brilliant screen, then went black. I got a few white bars to pop up on the top of the black screen then nothing.
I then went in and flashed "boot img flasher v1.2 jb.zip" it failed until I cleared the D-cache, then it passed. Back to the reboot screen. reboot system and it did the same thing.
I then recovered ICS and rebooted and the phone is back to the old system
What am I missing?
Would it be easier to take the OTA version and then root to S off?
I've never bothered with RUU's but if I'm not mistaken you have to re-lock your bootloader and run the RUU through the bootloader, not recovery.
With some of the threads popping up about people having issues with the new JB RUU, you might be better off finding a rooted JB ROM, like MeanBean, and run that, instead. You'd be better off getting S-off, then upgrading.

If you're s-on, retry flashing...(wipe everything and start over)..you're gonna have to flash jb Roms twice (as long as they are the zip format ones to my knowledge)...s-on is causing the kernel to take 2 flashes to install....first flash will install the kernel and then after that is successful, reflash without wiping anything and the Rom should boot....its a known procedure/hurdle for s-on users...hope that explains the bootloop. Let me know if it works...

This is true with MeanBean due to how the kernel installs. You have to basically flash the ROM twice when you're S-on. Some ROM's have a S-on kernel installer, while others don't.
I still say get S-off, upgrade your firmware and install a rooted JB ROM.

Than
Thank you both, I'll give that a try and see what happens. I wished I could have found that info earlier Been reading and messing with this phone for Hours.
Umm boot img flasher is a windows program that you run on a windows pc. You have to extract all the files out of the zip. NOT flash it on your phone. What hboot do you currently have?
Nope still not there. I tired flashing the rom 5 times and although I got to the second HTC quietly Brilliant screen, it still just goes black. I think I'll look into the dirty racun or lazy panda since I'm still at 1.12 h boot.

Did you do a clean install wiping cache/del cache/system/ factory reset then flash the rom?
What version of twrp are you using? v2.3.3.0 is the latest version
Btw RUU's are .exe files not .zip files AFAIK
Since you're on Hboot 1.12, flashing the kernel separately isn't an issue like it is with the newer Hboots. That being said, it sounds like your issue lies elsewhere. Make sure you've got a good download (verify MD5 checksum) and make sure you wipe properly. For me, I'd wipe cache and Dalvik, factory reset and wipe system (this will wipe your current ROM from your phone), then flash the new ROM. Once you've flashed the new ROM, don't wipe anything in recovery, just go ahead and reboot. I'd definitely look at going S-off, as already stated.
