Hi, I have an old Evo 3D purchased from eBay (shipped from Singapore).
The phone is now out of the warranty, so i decided to install a custom ROM.
What happened was that the phone was running on stock ICS.
Then I unlocked it through htcdev. S-on, HBOOT 1.53.0007
Installed 4ext recovery, works fine. v 1.0.0.5 RC5 (seems a bit too old, but it's the only one worked)
Then I flash a Jelly Bean 3D rom through recovery, successed, but when the phone is rebooted, it stuck on the animation (the animation is working just fine, but it just doesn't go anywhere, it doesnt reboot itself either).
I read the other post, and flashed a stock rooted ROM named EU_Shooter_U-1.20.401.8_ROOTED.
Then samething happened again, black screen, and doesn't go anywhere either.
I don't know what i should do to fix it now.
Please help.
Thanks.
Well your hboot 1.53.0007 will not allow jb roms to boot, so you have to downgrade your hboot which you can only do if you are s-off, you can likely flash a ICS 3.6 rom, but flashing the kernel with s-on requires you to flash the kernel (boot.img) with smart flash on in 4ext, my suggestion is to s-off downgrade your hboot. AFAIK flashing a ruu requires you to relock the your bootloader
( Don't ask me for help as I couldn't care if your phone explodes, eh! )

Are there anyways I can do S-off withouteven going into the android?
linjun, is this your first time rooting? You need to at least watch a couple YouTube videos to get an idea of how to do it. Simply unlocking the bootloader is not enough.
Once you DO learn how it's done, it's actually very easy. Just practice, practice, practice...

Hey guys
I have GSM UK version which had 1.20.xx stock rom and 1.49.0007 hboot. My phone was rooted and s-off using revolutionary. I updated my phone to get locale language to 1.24.xx
so does the hboot, its now 1.49.0012. My phone is still s-off but its locked.
What do you recommend guys? use HTC method but it may s-on, or flash stock RUU but im not sure if it will downgrade hboot. I only need root atm and maybe later when kernel sources get fixed I need CWM recovery.
Any help would be appreciated.

HTC Unlock method not related to S-Off or S-On. It only relates to top line : LOCKED, UNLOCKED or RELOCKED >>> I think you can safely unlock the HTCdev without fear of loss of S-Off
Thanx m8.
Now, do u think if I flash stock UK rom will I get my old hboot back??
WOOOOPY!!! flashed stock RUU and got my old hboot 0007
We envy you Scorbion! - got an asian device here HBOOT 1.49.0011 there's no way to get S-OFF atm..
hello everyone
I recently installed KingCobra3D ICS 1.2 ROM on my EVO 3D, and it was running well until all of a sudden it started having many issues of turning off while the screen is sleeping (it wont turn back on until I do a battery pull), rebooting, and wont turn on until I do multiple battery pulls. First I thought it was the kernel, so I reflashed the kernel along with the ROM many times, and it still does those issues. My question is, how dp I go back to the original stock Gingerbread firmware without relocking the bootloader? I flashed the ICS ROM, not firmware.
EDIT: I tried restoring my backup from the recovery, but the phone didn't boot after that
any help is greatly appreciated. thanks

Hello madmajd,
S-ON as your phone is you can not flash boot.img(kernel) from the recovery.
Extract boot.img from your gingerbread rom.zip and flash-it from fastboot
Code:
fastboot flash boot boot.img
reboot in recovery, do a full wipe
and flash your rom
sincerely,

While its true YOU CAN flash the kernel that way its not needed with HTC Unlock...
If u enter your recovery via fastboot command prompt ( fastboot boot your recoveryfilename.img), roms And KERNELS WILL flash like normal from the recovery. Here's some extra info I pm'd to another gsm user...

Some key points:
- The ICS /ICS Leaked roms (3.6/4.0) typically have trouble booting the stock kernel on several HTC Unlocked phones. This doesn't seem to occur on S-off phones. (Boot loops are usually a sign of a kernel issue).
- I am on a Sprint CDMA EVO3D & have no idea how to s-off your gsm version/downgrade the bootloader.
- I do have an HTC Unlocked guide in my signature that covers many of the basics for the CDMA version. It's the same process/steps for gsm, but the files used need to be gsm specific from the gsm threads (recovery, kernel, roms, etc).
- If u decide to run an Ruu (exe or zip), you must be locked/relocked & run the same or higher firmware version as currently installed. The exe will work with the phone booted to android or with the bootloader in "fastboot usb". The zip must be renamed exactly PG86IMG.zip and put directly on the root of the sdcard & boot into the bootloader.
- If the phone boots to the bootloader, you can use fastboot command prompt to " unlock" the phone again with your unlock code. Then fastboot flash the recovery again (4ext or Cwm 4.0.1.4 gsm versions recommended), then fastboot boot the recovery, run a superwipe (or format system, data & cache), & flash a gingerbread Rom or one of your nand backups.
- The correct HTC unlocked flashing process (ICS or GB) is to enter recovery via fastboot command prompt, format/superwipe, & flash the Rom (and/or kernel) as you normally would. (4ext Recovery is a solid workaround to using fastboot commands)

Doing what?
You might want to consider upgrading your firmware and getting S-OFF status. I have a guide here that can help.

Too late!
Ok so I followed someone's note to me that said I needed to relock the phone first. So following the instructions for relocking I did the "fastboot oem lock" and now I am "Relocked" but the phone only boots now to Bootloader/Fastboot.
What do I do now?
All I really want to do at this point is get the phone back working. I don't care about root as this phone is going to someone else.
Thanks

Hi
I think you need to downgrade to HBOOT 1.49.007 Because versions 1.50.00 and above have a restart issue with custom ROMS
The bad new is that you must spend your HTC EVO 3D S-OFF
I followed this thread to downgrade
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=17434661
Follow this thread to return to 1.49.007 version of hboot
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1906172
If you really want to s-on your phone after this downgrade, you can enter
fastboot oem writesecureflag 3
in fastboot mode, but i don't recommend it
Pay attention to these manipulations and does not hesitate to completely read all the tutorials and all comments.
goodbye,

I know he didn't say that, but I think the hboot 1.5 indicates that he has a CDMA model.

Thank you everyone for your help.
Was able to re-lock it and find and install through the correct RUU.exe.
Now my wife has a phone again.
Hi,
i unlocked my Evo 3d the HTCdev.com way, al working fine and in tried to flash a new rom through CWM recovery (LeeDrOiD_3D_V5.3.0)
Now my unit is staying in a bootloop, the white HTC screens pops up for a few seconds and boots throught to the LeeDrOid bootscreen, you hear the sound for a second and it reboots again.
I Already tried to flash the boot.img extracted from the LeeDrOid manually, but it stays the same.
Did i overlooked something? Did i brick my unit? I dont know...
The following numbers pop up when i boot in the bootloader:
***Unlocked****
SHOOTER-U PVT SHIP S-ON RL
HBOOT-1.53.0007
eMMC-boot
Radio: 11.25.3504.06
What to do? Or do i have a fancy paperweight now?
I think its because you are trying to flash a gingerbread rom. AFAIK its not possible to boot GB on 1.53 hboot. I would suggest trying an ICS rom
So i installed Yoda's ICS v5.1 and now the unit only boots till the white HTC screen and reboots on and on...
maybe if you list the things you tried i could help you more.
factory reset and wipe cache+delvik cache before installing rom?
manually flashed boot.img?
i would suggest getting s-off to save yourself all the hassle
How do i install S-OFF when i cannot fully boot the unit?
Yes, i tried to install Boot.img manually through ABD, but issue still persists.
S-off isnt something to install. I'd recommend you run an RUU and get beck to stock. After that look in the gsm development section you will find a thread for s-offing your phone. It involves the wire trick.

Which RUU should i download, which one do you recommend? And i can do this while connected with Fastboot, isnt it?

I had the very same issue, see my post here for some help http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1897719
I think your hboot is the key; if your unlocked through HTC while on a GB rom then you are limited to GB roms, if you want ICS, you need to re lock, ruu the stock ICS rom, then unlock, then install the custom ICS rom.
I'm no expert but that seemed to fix my issue, i did take the extra step and get S-off, so i truly get full control of my phone.
His hboot is 1.53 which means he did update to ics. Relocking his bootloader and running an RUU should get him to boot into stock rom. Then maybe he can s-off.
There are so many people with 1.53 hboot having problems with every single rom. I didnt take the ota for this exact reason. Revolutionary hboot hasnt given me trouble with any rom.

I just checked the unlimited.io (JBear) website and their modified bootloader for the Evo 3D GSM on ICS is 1.53.5353 so it seems like they support the wire trick with the ICS update, but I agree that it would be better to start by flashing the ICS RUU.exe then HTC unlock and root before doing JuopunutBear.

It could be your hboot, your baseband is ok, your s-off, so I would believe that the hboot 1.53 is causing you grieve. Try this it downgrades your hboot.http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?p=32032629
now b4 you try it , in 4ext recovery under wipe you will see format all partitions except sdcard, try that b4 you flash any rom and see if that cures your issues
( Don't ask me for help, as I couldn't care if your phone explodes, eh!!!)

ok i downgrade to hboot 1.49 , but still bootloop when i access to recovery, the same when boot to main rom.
Take out your battery and put it back in and see what happens, it is better to turn your phone totally off between flashes sometimes
( Don't ask me for help, as I couldn't care if your phone explodes, eh!!!)
well, is all fixed i install a gingerbread rom through fastboot. could you send me a link where i can install ics from fastboot .thanks dude for help me
If u have found an answer, pls PM me
You need to upgrade your firmware. Then you'll get rid of the bootloops

Good Morning ...
After I had a Galaxy Note II as a device for testing i wanted to use my HTC Evo 3D. So I wanted to make it ready for daily usage. Before flashing there was ICS NonSense 4.1 on the device. I did a full wipe and everything went as usual. Then I saw that there are some new JellyBeanROMs released for the Evo, so i tried BiParanoid. I flashed it carefully and clean with wipe, etc. etc. and everything was ok. Then i made my settings and installed my daily used apps. After an update of the 4EXT Touch Recovery i wanted to make an nandroid backup over the recovery. I started 4EXT Control Manager and started the Backup. Until this point of time,everything was right.
But then I saw, that the phone won't boot in recovery. Before the hBoot 1.49.0007 i had 1.40 or somethin like that, i dont know that anymore. before the downgrade i was S-OFF and Revolutionary Unlocked. Since the Downgrade I'm having S-OFF and I'm relocked. After one night of searches in google, XDA's, German Android Threads ... after flashing, trying to flash new recovery over ADB ... I'm to disappointed to do more. I dont had any sleep because of this f**** s*** phone ... -_-
When I'm starting the phone normally withuot Bootloader, Recovery Mode etc. theres only the Bootanimation from BiParanoid. I tried to pull out SIM Card, Micro SD card, tried another Micro SD Card ...
My Bootloader:

Sorry for my bad english in this thread but after this night im rly retarded and yeah ... i hope that someone can help me in this situation.
Best Regards and Thx.

Re-locked should not to be an issue, sounds maybe? Your recovery is corrupt, try installing 4ext recovery, also verify the rom that you downloaded is ok, open it on your computer with 7zip, your hboot and firmware look good to me.
( Don't ask me for help as I couldn't care if your phone explodes, eh! )
so i did it ... never thought i would be happy to see some stock rom running on my evo ... ok 4 hours until school, gettin some coffee now ...
With that running system i can install 4ext again i think.
So you ran a ruu?
( Don't ask me for help as I couldn't care if your phone explodes, eh! )
yes now im running a RUU. i installed it over the bootloader with the PG86IMG.zip
Now Im workin with Android 2.3.4 and Software Number 1.20.401.2
in bootloader everything is same, except the radio
radio is now 10.13.9020.08_2M
but that shouldnt be a problem.
Now im angry to flash some false things, what should I do next ? to reinstall recovery i need root access. how do i get this without bricking my evo ? ^^
okay nowfor users with the same problem.
i downgraded my bootloader with the tool in the developer forum to 149.0007 and flashed the stock ruu android 2.3.5 as pg85img.zip over the bootloader. then i rooted the stock rom with the revolutionary method. this one flashed the revolutionary recovery too and now i already was able to flash a custom rom.
on cm9 i installed 4ext recovery again and now its running good. but i flashed the third newest recovery cause the newest version is faulty on my phone.
best regards
now im running on cm9 and everything works well.
