Just wanted to see if anyone else is having this issue installing a Jelly Bean ROM. Just for background info, I have hboot 1.50, the 2.89 firmware, and the phone is s-off and unlocked. Whenever I install a Jelly Bean ROM I get a boot loop at the HTC screen. Does anyone have any suggestions on how I may possibly fix this? I want my JB fix!
I know people say hboot 1.5 works, but people tend to have better luck with hboot 1.04 or 1.4.
If that doesn't work, which it didn't for me when I had the same issue, try the ruu.exe. You'll remain s-off, but completely stock. Then flash hboot above, 4ext recovery, then Rom.

Which RUU? The 2.89 version? I don't care about being stock since I can always flash a new ROM after. I gotta look around for the hboot 1.40. Thanks for the info.

Here's a guide that you will find useful. I'm just providing this for you because it has a link to the ruu exe you need and links to hboot versions

I believe so. You may even be able to downgrade to hboot 1.4 I believe.

I always hit the damn thanks button instead of the quote! You got a free thanks
Anyways, go this thread http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1192306 and download the SHIP 1.40 hboot (unless you want the ENG one, then download that). Follow the instructions in that post, and flash it. Just a simple PG86IMG.zip.
This guy did the same thing as you, and had success rolling back to 1.40. http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=17993045&postcount=97
Good luck.
I am going to flash the new ICS leak (build number 3.14.605.5) in hboot. after i do that, do i have to flash the new stock 2.25 hboot from superchilpills post here? http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1614366
any help clarifying that would be great. i am s-off and I have been flashing roms and everything just fine, the only thing I am still a little unsure about is the hboot thing. any help would be great, thanks a lot guys
If your going to do a full ruu then running the 2.25 hboot I have posted is redundant
My suggestion is if you want to stick with the ruu and not a custom Rom then just ruu
If you want to retain the Rom you are on then only flash the one I have posted as it won't affect what Rom you are running

Hey guys, I have a similar question, but just want to be explicitly clear. I am S-OFF but then ran the full RUU for the newest 3.14, so my hboot is now the 2.25. It's not allowing me to flash back a custom recovery, so I presume I have to revert the hboot to 2.21 at least. Is it as simple as following your post posted above, downloading the ICS 2.21 hboot, renaming, and flashing in bootloader? thanks
EDIT: Nevermind, didn't notice at first it had relocked after running the RUU. Successfully re-unlocked, then pushed recovery like normal. Back in business.
Can i please get some help with my evo 3d?
I have done everything step by step and cant get any AOKP CM10 roms to install and run.
I did the RUU to stock (the newest one 2.89.651.2) I got it rooted, s-off with Juopunutbear hboot 1.58.5858 and 4EXT recovery.
Every rom i install will NOT boot. What have I done wrong? Please help me.

Change your bootloader (hboot) to something lower that 1.57 and it should work.
My recommendation is the JBear 1.50.5050 version.

So if I downgrade the hboot then any ROM will install? Trying to install an AOKP rom.
I have just got an evo 3d, previosuly owned one, and stupid me forgot to make a back up of my stock rom before i rooted and flashed an ICS rom.
Im in Australia on OPTUS, the CID is OPTUS001 and i cannot chnage this.
Im S-on, with Hboot 1.53.007 and htcdev unlocked
I have tried lots of things but cant for the life of me figure this one out.
I want to S-off and downgrade the hboot. But to do this i need s-off and need to change the cid, which i cant right now
Where can i get the OPTUS RUU for ICS? I have tried the asia RUU but it fails with incorrect CID
I have 4ext recovery and also have fastboot access
Or what can i do?
many thanks in advance

Okay. You are S on and have a custom recovery. Why can't you s off then? Do the wire trick. Unlimited.io has everything you need to know. After s off downgrade hoot and change cid if you need to. Hboot downgrade -> http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1906172

Not that I know of. Any one else hear different?
Soff with wire trick works ONLY on stock rom from ruu. Not even a flashed one that says stock... His only chance is to find a ruu compatible with his cid (sorry bro, cant help you there, i searched a bit but no good results).
Other case, you can enable Smartflash in 4ext tools and use custom ics roms, but only sense roms. On that bootloader you cannot flash anything else other than sense based.
Just as a question, did you by chance try the european ruu? I have a feeling it might work...
Im currently severely stressed at the fact i cant do any rom testing or anything for that matter im stuck on stock and was wondering could i downgrade my hboot with s-on ive tried everything in my power to recieve s-off but no dirty racun or lazy panda has worked.... or rum runner any help would be greatly appreciated
my hboot is 2.10 is there an s-off at this hboot

Rumrunner should work.
Being s-on sucks, but you can still run custom ROMs. You just need to download the ROM's zip file to your pc, unzip it and fastboot flash the boot.img.
Someone might still have the necessary files for firewater s-off.
Rumrunner is the only method to S-off Hboot 2.10. You'll have to be S-off to downgrade via RUU to an older Android version. Might want to hit up the Rumrunner thread and make sure that you've got your computer set up properly to run it. Firewater has been discontinued and is no longer supported by its developers.
