I using unbranded device. The device is HTCDev unlocked, HBOOT - 1.49.0018, CWM v4.0.1.4 and it is S-ON.
In order to install a custom ROM i used to wipe "data/factory reset", "cache partition", "Dalvik Cache" and "Battery Stats", then i was copying the boot.img with CMD (with "fastboot flash boot boot.img"), then put the new ROM in my formatted SD card, and install it through Revolutionary CWM.
Now, few months later, i tried to install new ROM ( http://forum.xda-developers.com/show....php?t=1507616 ), using the same procedures, but after the installation, when i reboot the device it starts loading the boot animation and then freezes. I tried a few other ROMs and the result was the same. Even i tried to install the previous ROM ( http://forum.xda-developers.com/show....php?t=1647674 ), which was on the phone until yesterday, the same thing happens, the animation freezes and i have to take the battery out. My question is can the problem be from the boot.img or from the method that i am using. If the problem is there, will it be useful to install the method "4EXT Recovery". Having in mind that i installed HBOOT - 1.49.0018, CWM v4.0.1.4 which way is more easier and safer.
Thank you in advance!

You can downgrade your HBOOT to 1.49.0007..Here is external link: EXTERNAL..and you can also find in Q&A (I think)..You won't have any problems with that HBOOT (1.49.0007)
Also upgrade your recovery to 4ext,set smart flash to enabled, the reason why it is not booting is the kernel is not flashing
( Don't ask me for help as I couldn't care if your phone explodes, eh! )
I have tried to install "4EXT" by fastboot, but it is not booting and i have flashed "CWM 6", but i still can't run any rom
I believe there's a 4ext apk, your only solution is to s-off, where the kernel will flash correctly

Hi guys,
a have a big problem. Just unlocked my HTC Evo with the unlock method by HTC and installed the Leedroid CFW (newest). Because a had problems with my wifi I flashed the wifi-fix fromm xda. Still didn`t work for me. Then I flashed a new kernel (Anthrax) and now I have a bootloop. tried everything (flashed the stock kernel, flashed a new rom, tried to put back to stock rom by flashing the RUU from Europe....). Nothing worked for me. Any ideas?
Could anybody help me?Bootloader works (fastboot included) but it doesn`t start at all.

Download this =====> http://downloadandroidrom.com/file/H...otevo3dnew.zip (no need if you already have fastboot/adb files.If you are gsm user, there might be different files)
Download any ROM or use any ROM that you have.
Download a superwipe tool ( or you can manually wipe everything from recovery).
>extract the "rootevo3dnew.zip" you downloaded above in "C:\" drive.(So it should be like "c:\rootevo3dnew\*.* ")
> install "HTCDriver3.0.0.007.exe" from it.
> open the ROM.zip (that you want to flash) with winRAR/7z and copy the boot.img from it to the rootevo3dnew folder.
> open cmd prompt ( press the key between "alt and fn" and press "r" then type cmd and hit enter)
> navigate to fastboot folder ( command : "cd c:\rootevo3dnew")
> boot phone in bootloader
> select fastboot
> connect to PC (phone should say fastboot-usb)
> type command "fastboot flash boot boot.img"
> now type "fastboot boot cwm-4.0.1.4-shooter.img"
> Phone should boot into recovery ( make sure the red LED is lit up)
> now flash the superwipe tool.zip(or wipe everything manually from wipe menu in recovery)

Hope this helps...........

If you are unlocked using HTC method then you cannot flash any kernel directly from recovery.You will have to use fastboot method our flash image GUI app or bout recovery using fastboot then flash kernel.
If you flash any kernel directly from recovery you will have issues with wifi,4g etc.
Hope this clarify hope issue..........

Are you sure you have tried this?
"fastboot boot cwm-4.0.1.4-shooter.img"
Is the bootloader still unlocked?
Phone started directly with OS. No recovery. Have the Insert Coin 1.0 running. Shall I boot phone in recovery menue to flash Insert Coin 1.0 again (after a full wipe) or shall I flash Insert Coin 1.1 (update) without reflashing the 1.0?

Use the recovery worked for you/Download a recovery that works for gsm phones and put it in fastboot folder.
then boot into boot loader....... select fastboot........connect to PC.........open command prompt........navigate to fastboot folder..........type "fastboot flash recovery xxxxxxxxx.img" xxxxxxxxxx is the name of recovery....
Then type "fastboot boot xxxxxxxxx.img"
then wipe everything and flash another ROM........make sure while flashing/wiping from recovery the red LED is lit up.
Ok seems to work. How can I S-Off?Is S-Off needful?

the reason its not booting is probably because you didnt flash the boot.img using fastboot. that is required to get roms to boot when you are s-on.
first install the rom from recovery.
then extract the boot.img from the rom zip file(probably in the kernel/shooteru folder) then place it in the folder where you have adb,fastboot and AdbWinApi.dll which you used to unlock.
then open cmd. change directory to the folder containing adb/fastboot.
Connect your phone in bootloader mode and make your it says "fastboot usb"
then type in cmd "fastboot flash boot boot.img"
it should do a process and show that it completed.
then reboot and it should boot up.

Did as you said...its still does not boot up..
I was just trying out so i typed "adb devices" and it did not showed any attached devices
But when i type "fastboot devices" it shows "HT18FU202032 fastboot"
Can this be the problem by any chance that i cannot see any attached devices when i type adb devices??
The tutorial which you linked has a screen shot where adb decives can be seen...but thats not the case for me..i can see only fastboot devices..
Your help is appreciated !
adb wont run when you are in fastboot. in the screenshot he runs that command before booting into bootloader.
i think the problem might be that you are trying to install a GB rom.
just do the method D. in step 2 dont do the GB steps do the ICS one
---------- Post added at 02:33 PM ---------- Previous post was at 02:33 PM ----------
flash an ICS ROM from recovery(Method B from 10 to 14)
open ICS ROM.zip and extract boot.img to a folder which contains adb, fastboot and AdbWinApi.dll
go to fastboot and type:
fastboot flash boot boot.img

I would advise you to try to get some other rom(like Yoda's ICS or Cool Sense) to boot on your phone then do the s-off. with your hboot you can do either the downgrade or the wire trick to get s-off
Hello everybody.
Before posting this thread I have read lots of similar threads, but no answer...
My evo was running fine on Mwakious3D rom v.15.3, I was s-off, 4ext recovery, Hboot 1.49.1107, kernel coolexe (integrated in Mwakious rom).
Yesterday night I had network connection problems, so I tried to switch from GSM only to GSM/CDMA auto and back.
My device freezed and I could not get back it responding, so I pulled the battery out.
Then I put back the battery in and tried to turn it on.
From that moment, when I try to turn it on, it shows the HTC splash screen, then after about 10 seconds it turns off by itself and starts bootlooping.
I tried to enter recovery trough Hboot, but even recovery gets stuck on HTC splash screen and the device gets very very hot, then a bootloop starts. I have to pull the battery out because I fear I can damage it.
So I tried to flash again the boot.img from the rom I was on, through Fastboot in command line. The operation succeeded, but when I tried to reboot, I always got bootloop.
So I tried to fastboot flash a new recovery becaue I thought mine was broken. I tried to flash 4ext, cwm and twrp.
Even this didn't fix the problem: I can't get past HTC splash screen either in normal rebooting nor recovery.
So I tried to flash the P86img.zip contained in this thread at letter E: ht_tp://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1743466 (sorry, I can't post URLs).
Even after flashing that, no way I can get past the HTC splash.. I can't access recovery, even if I try to boot it from fastboot.
I don't know what to do anymore.
Please help!!!
My configuration at the moment:
Hboot 1.49.0007 s-off
Radio: 10.13.9020.08_2m
Recovery: 4ext
Please, help me as soon as possible, you are my only hope to unbrick my Evo 3D!!!
Another information: I try to access the device also via adb.
It returns me empty devices list.
If I run adb usb, it returns me error:no device connected.
I have the HTC drivers v.3.007 installed. I tried both on XP x86 and W7 x64.
Fastboot instead recognizes the device, so that I can flash *.img.

Thanks a lot... i'm trying in a couple of hours...
I will feedback if it's working.
Bad news dude!!!
I relocked hboot then ran the latest RUU.
Flashing process proceeds well and completes, but after it the phone keeps bootlooping. Always stuck to HTC splash logo.
In the bootloader menu "recovery" is still there. I can't boot into recovery either because I get the usual bootloop.
Any further ideas?
At the moment I am on
Hboot 1.53.0007 relocked s-on
radio -11.25.3504.06_m

when I run adb usb it still responds error: device not found
Now I unlocked back Hboot and succeeded in flashing recovery (4ext).
Anyway that f***ing bootloop is still there... I can't access recovery...damnit:crying:
Take out your sdcard and see if you can boot into recovery, taking a shot in the dark but could be a corrupt sdcard
(Don't ask me for help as I couldn't care if your phone explodes, eh!
try "fastboot boot recovery.img" in cmd. but the real problem is that running RUU didnt work. are you sure it flashed completely? I'd say run it again
Sorry, friends, I tried both methods without success...always that bootloop after... Even trying fastboot boot recovery.img... I can't get into recovery menu. Only hboot menu... Maybe I could try once again to flash the RUU.exe after relocking bootloader...any better ideas than mine? I'm starting to lose hope...
Hi,
I have nearly the same issue.
i played to much with reroot and unroot.
Now my evo gsm austria is:
shooter_u pvt shp s-off rl
hboot 1.53.0007
radio 10.13.9020.08_2m
eMMC boot
I can access recovery, but it doesn't matter which rom i flash i always have the bootloop. I even flashed different recoveries and the extracted boot,img from the roms (via fastboot). But i'm stuck in the Bootloop.
When i try to flash an RUU as PG86IMG i get the message CID incorrect.
CID is VODAP120
I hope someone has the answer.
thanx michael
---------- Post added 9th December 2012 at 12:05 AM ---------- Previous post was 8th December 2012 at 11:37 PM ----------
I changed my CID now:
fastboot oem writecid HTC__01
moved a non branded pg86img to the root of my sdcard and it ran through
now my phone is back to hboot 1.49.0007
looks good at the moment
i want to get back to full stock, to get original ICS
but i can't get updates, they always fail during the installation . even when i was locked and s-on
It runs again - back to life
So what did i do next.
The official OTA Update to ICS came down!
But wouldn't install
So i extracted the firmware.zip moved to PG86IMG.zip and flashed over the bootloader.(just 24MB - Boot,Bootloader)
It installed rebooted and at the moment a very long black screen, lets see how long
---------- Post added at 06:45 AM ---------- Previous post was at 06:27 AM ----------
No bootloop, but nothing else too
Next step
extract the rom.zip from "RUU_SHOOTER_U_ICS_35_S_HTC_Europe_3.28.401.1_Radio_11.77.3504.00U_11.25.3504.06_M_release_262714_signed"
moved as PG86IMG.zip to root of SDCARD
and flashing over Bootloader
lets wait

Extract the rom zip file and rename it to PG86IMG.zip , put in root of sdcard and flash in bootloader.
I'm running out of ideas here. Running an RUU is a last failsafe method of restoring your phone to stock but that isnt working for you. Maybe try another ruu(the one which was on your phone when you purchased it)
I'm having some issues aswell.
I flashed 4ext because some roms would get stuck on the htc logo screen for half an hour..
Flashed the NonSense rom, worked fine, made a backup of it.
Then i wanted to test Viper's latest rom with sense 4.0, flashed it with 4ext, successful.
I found NonSense better in my opinion so i went to backup, and restored the ROM. After that i couldn't get any further than the htc logo screen.
I switched to clockwork, twrp but no result. I tried even other ROMs but i still can't get pass that cursed splash screen.
And yes, i deleted cache and dalvik etc..
The only thing i haven't tried is getting the stock rom and flashing it to see if it works.
Also, would some of you be kind enough to give me the recovery.img of the latest version of 4ext? I can't find it anywhere, not even on my sd card.
Thanks, looking forward to your answers.
my advice would be to do a clean install of nonsense rom. Wipe data+factory reset, wipe dalvik cache, install rom.
btw are you s-off or s-on? be sure to turn on smart flash in case you're s-on.
I've attached 4EXT RC5

Hello there,
I've had my OneX+ for a few months already and I've been using TWRP for quite a while. A few weeks ago, though, I flashed ViperX ROM and their TWRP-mod recovery. The recovery worked for a while but then the phone decided to simply not boot into recovery at all and instead rebooting into the ROM again. I tried reflashing the recovery and using CWM instead of TWRP. CWM seems to work but when I try to do a backup it just reboots back into ROM after it seems like it almost finished the backup, if I try to Factory reset/wipe anything the phone again simply just reboots to ROM ...
I really have no idea what to do now, plzhalp.

Hi Seleren...
Can you specify which phone version you have? AT&T/TELUS or International?
That would really help us to guide you to the good solution. Don't worry you can not brick your device with patience you'll be back on track.
i had an issue like this a while back. open up an abd and run fastboot erase cache, fastboot flash recovery (yourrecoveryname).img, then fastboot erase cache again. mine wouldnt boot into twrp after flashing a rom, it would show the teamwin screen then boot into the rom and these steps fixed it.

Tried that already, nothing changed at all, TWRP logo shows up and then the phone reboots to ROM. CWM works partially as I said, it reboots when I tell it do do anything (backup/wipe/flash) and the phone is unaffected.
Bump. Help please, I tried flashing another kernel but that didn't help. I can't even wipe or flash another ROM in CWM.
Re: [Q] Recovery problems - unable to boot into TWRP, CWM fails
Try redownloading the recovery and rewriting it. It may be a bad download.
Sent from my One X+ using xda premium
Re: [Q] Recovery problems - unable to boot into TWRP, CWM fails
Flash the kernel and then the recovery with fastboot and see what happens.
Download a fresh recovery for your International (ENRC2B) model here.
Put this file in the platform-tools of your SDK folder.
Plug the USB cable coming from your computer to your phone.
Then open a command prompt window and type : adb devices (you should see your serial at the screen)
Again type : adb reboot-bootloader (Enter)
Type again this command : fastboot devices (you should see your serial at the screen)
Type this command (if serial is successful) : fastboot flash recovery your_recovery_name.img (Enter)
Clear cache with : fastboot erase cache (Enter)
Once done unplug your USB cable, click one time on Power button.
One Volume rocker down to select Recovery.
Confirm by clicking on Power button to reboot in Recovery.
Try to flash an International ROM only.
What result you obtain by doing this?
@Seleren I would be interested to know if the above worked for you? Also useful if anyone else gets this problem

Clear cache with : fastboot erase cache (Enter)
Once done unplug your USB cable, click one time on Power button.
One Volume rocker down to select Recovery.
Confirm by clicking on Power button to reboot in Recovery.
Try to flash an International ROM only.
What result you obtain by doing this?

I've already tried that numerous times, I can get to erasing cache etc but once I try to boot into the recovery ... I'm done. TWRP won't boot even after erasing cache. CWM fails at wiping/backuping/flashing and just reboots without any notice at all. I'm really out of ideas now.
Sorry for a bit late answer.
This is really strange. Are you sure you are correctly rooted? Which method have you followed to root your phone? The above method I gave you, I have done this numerous times, switching from CWM recovery to TWRP recovery to access different backup on my phone, and it never fails on me.
Are you sure that your SDK folder is well installed and fully functional? Are HTC's drivers correctly configured? What is your phone responding to you when you type : adb devices?

Hello there,
... A few weeks ago, though, I flashed ViperX ROM and their TWRP-mod recovery....

I know you are not allowed to post yet in their thread but I suspect your issue could be related to their ROM, I will try to point this thread to someone from Venom ROM.

Yes, I am correctly rooted, I've rooted numerous phones, I unlocked using the official HTC method. I could say I'm not a complete noob to Android. I wouldn't even post here if I didn't try all the standard procedures.
I flashed the Non-touch CWM yesterday and nothing changed (not that I expected it to). I decided I'll try flashing the bootloader in the end but I have to back up my whole SDCard before that ...
Bump.
SALVATION
Well, since I don't want to be like others who just say "Solved", here's the solution I came up with.
1. Get your new ROM's zip to your SDCard
2. Flash CWM since TWRP won't boot
3. Flash ROM from CWM, it will be flashed even though the phone will unexpectedly reboot.
4. Flash the bootImage from fastboot (Thank god at least that works)
5. Go back to recovery, go to Mounts menu and wipe every options you can (cache, data, system)
6. You will most probably lose your SDCard data too.
7. Reflash the ROM you wanted.
8. Voila.

Here something strange I've been encountering... Every time I flash a boot.img over TWRP it won't boot to TWRP. I have to flash the recovery over the boot.img.

either you used the wrong TWRP recovery image or it wasn't flashed correctly

I wish that was the problem, I tried quite a few versions, including the one from ALL IN ONE toolkit, an older version that previously worked, the latest version and the ViperX version. Trust me, that was not the problem.

What Lloir meant to say was that the boot.img has nothing to do with the recovery, so flashing a boot.img will NOT change your recovery to so-said TWRP.
TWRP is being flashed by a different command namely 'flash recovery' instead of 'flash boot' like previously mentioned boot.img
