hi, can you teach me how to start a fresh flash on this unit? I bought an EVO 3D in hongkong and it has a goapk chinese custom rom and i wanna update the rom and the hboot to the latest if not the best one out there. i used to flash rom on htc hd2 android but i already forgot the sequence coz i think this one's different. can you give me a checklist how to fresh install the custom rom i downloaded? i have Stock Rooted Roms with SuperUser 2.08.651.2 Update (2.3.4) coz i don't like the modded versions, i just need the tweaks and roots, etc.
as of now, my idea is to install a stock rom to update the hboot version, then install a custom recovery, so i can install the custom rom. can you also guide me on what's the best/latest recovery out there?
thanks!

yeah, i know where to find them but i don't know where to start. i think i can install a custom rom right away coz i saw my hboot 1.49 has the revolutionary cwm but i'm not sure if there's a better cwm out there. i also wanna be informed if there's a perfect stock rom out there if there's any coz like back when i still have my hd2, there's a camera issue on sense 3.0 port or sense bug in gingerbread roms, etc.. i don't wanna waste my time reading all the threads here just to learn all that if someone out there already know the answer in just 1sentence. i hope you got my point. that's why i posted in this q&a section.

Doing the research is part of what you need to do. Now I would be really careful due to the fact of where your device is from. Spend a few hours and do the research. There is no one sentence answer. Each device is different a.d can react differently

at least you made a point. my device is gold instead of red. i got it in hongkong but the box is not in english nor chinese (france i think, i'll check on it). it's already unlocked and has custom rom on it that's why i just wanna know directly from the experienced if installing a stock rom/ruu will update the hboot version so i can install the latest cwr, or will it lock my device and/or bootloader. in htc hd2, there are different versions of rom like cwr with recovery 150, 400, etc.. i'm not sure if it's still the same in evo 3d.
What I did......
My device initial status is was unlocked, rooted, customized rom and recovery, S-On and Hboot 1.49.018.
What i did was i downgraded my Hboot version so I can use Revolutionary tool to S-OFF my device(it didn't root my device upon checking with root checker app. Revolutionary tool only has beta keys for 1.49.007 & 1.49.008 so i downgraded to .007.
To downgrade, change the CID to HTC__001. I checked mine using a CID getter app and it was was HTC_027 (France, I think).
To change the cid, use fastboot command (you can download it along with adb.exe). If your device is still locked, "I think" you need to unlock it first using htcdev's tool.
After changing CID, I flashed the official rom PG86IMG.zip with 1.49.007 hboot by putting the zip file on the root of your SD then boot in bootloader by holding vol down while powering the evo 3d on. It will not work if fastboot settings is checked on htc settings.
After flashing, it booted normally(it asked me to setup my device). I downloaded a file explorer to rename the PG86IMG.zip so when I boot into bootloader, it will not extract the official rom again and ask me if I wanna flash(again) the rom, of course i will say no. I booted into bootloader to check the hboot version which is now on 1.49.007. I think the boot loader will be "relocked" too(sorry, i forgot).
I can then request the beta keys so I can use it in Revolutionary tool to S-OFF the device (I have to check if it roots the device too).
The tool asked me if I want to install the Revolutionary Recovery which I pressed yes so I can install custom firmwares(Internet connection required). After the process, the unlocked status from bootloader now says revolutionary.
I powered my device and update Over-the-air but it got stuck to triangle-!-android robot. Maybe because I have the custom recovery (revolutionary). So i flashed the PG86IMG.zip again through bootloader, it removed the custom recovery i installed from revolutionary tool but it will stay S-OFF. I've yet to check the lock/unlock status of the bootloader since i can't restart my evo 3d coz I'm downloading a 2Gb file but I think it's relocked.
After flashing for the second time and booting it again, set it up, I tried updating again through software updated and it updates the device successfully. It adds 3 nice free 3D Games.
I checked my bootloader status and my device went back to hboot 1.49.018 but still S-off.
Summary:
You can always install the official PG86IMG.zip with hboot 1.49.007 to downgrade the hboot version since the CID is still HTC_001 so you can use the Revolutionary tool to install the Custom Recovery to flash any GSM roms you like.
If you have an easiest route to acheive this, please let me know coz I'm not sure if I learn the most recent process or if it's old.
i have been reading about the new HTC One X+. so far i have understood S-off is still unavailable, so was wondering can you still change roms with s on. i have rooted my phone. i seen people say you have to update your hbootloader to 1.36 is that true? trying to avoid bricking my phone lol if that was to happen. id like to be ready for the cm10 for att when it is released, or would international owrk in the us on att carier?

Its almost impossible to brick an HTC phone if you know what your doing. The basic rule is make sure your flashing for the correct device because in each market each phone is a little different. On the original One X, the international versions partitions were different than the XL's partitions so if you flashed the wrong recovery it wouldn't boot because the recovery partition would be where root should be (just an example and on top of the HOX and HOXL had different hardware). On the X+ its more or less the same. I don't know anything about updating HBOOT but I would strongly discourage it. With every update there is the possibility of loosing the possibility to root; also flashing a new bootloader is VERY risky.. Yes, you can flash new ROMS without S-OFF however depending on the HBOOT version you have to flash the kernel or BOOT.IMG in the zip separately via fastboot. There are programs to do this or you just use adb/fastboot. CM for international won't work on out AT&T devices because of issues with the differences in the radio.
Hope I helped! Press 'thanks' if I did.

well i am pretty new at this dev experience and i would like to know more wish i new more and didnt have to ask stupid questions. i dont understand "by however depending on the HBOOT version you have to flash the kernel or BOOT.IMG in the zip separately via fastboot. There are programs to do this or you just use adb/fastboot."
my hboot is 1.32 and bootloader is unlocked and i am rooted. did it a few nights ago. boot img is in any new rom correct? cant stand sense roms. looking forward to using cm10 when its released for att. just thought id prep my phone for it
I think what he's saying is that before you could just copy the rom.zip to your phone and then flash from recovery(because the kernel stuff was included in the rom.zip) but now, because of various things, you have to flash the kernel stuff seperately(usually by extracting it from the rom.zip then running the fastboot cmd as he said). Once you've copied the rom over and flashed the kernel, then you can flash the rom from recovery like usual.
I think that's pretty much it and you don't really need to mess with anything else. But, of course, I'm not an expert by any stretch, so take it with a grain of salt.
What S-ON means for us is that we cannot flash the BOOT partition directly from the phone. This means, that Kernels (boot.img files) need to be flashed via fastboot. S-ON/OFF has nothing to do with changing ROMs, just Kernels.
The reason why we cannot use the same ROMs on ATT/Telus and Intl version of the HOX+ is that the US version has LTE support, which means it has a different radio.
Also i think the newest HBOOT you can get for the HOX+ is 1.35 but be careful with that and make sure you have the right file and correct md5 sum.
I flashed maximus Rom for the one x+ didn't have issue using tarp. The kernel was updatin with the new rom

****IF YOU HAVE AN UNBRANDED aka ASIA VERSION aka Factory Unlocked HTC AMAZE, PLEASE READ THIS ENTIRE THREAD BEFORE DOING ANYTHING TO YOUR PHONE. MAKE SURE TO READ THE FIRST & SECOND POST****
***The following is a brief description of the very common scenario that most new users with the Unbranded unit have encountered lately. Please read it now so you can hopefully avoid going through it in the future***
**SO, you got yourself an HTC AMAZE 4G that is UNBRANDED (also referred to as INTERNATIONAL VERSION, ASIA VERSION, Carrier-free, or Factory Unlocked) Congratulations! And welcome to our forum..
Now, if you haven't noticed yet, the Unbranded Amaze comes with stock Gingerbread (GB) as the Android OS. So you look and see that IceCreamSandwich (ICS) was officially released by HTC for the amaze. SO of course you go straight to settings>about phone>update, your so excited to get ICS on your new Amaze, THEN BAM!! Your phone says everything is currently up to date. But how? GUESS WHAT, THERE IS NO OFFICIAL ICS BUILD FOR THE UNBRANDED AMAZE.. Soo THEN you maybe do a little research and learn you can manually flash an ICS RUU to your phone, you just need to find the RUU for your carrier.. BUT wait, oh no, you don't have a Carrier so there is no RUU. THIS is when most people make a common MISTAKE. They decide to Unlock the bootloader an their phone, flash a Custom Recovery, and then flash a custom ICS Rom and think it will be Fine, but when they try to turn on the phone it just get's stuck on the boot logo.. Now begins the freaking out, the obsessive duplicate thread creating, such as "HELP Trying to get ICS on my unbranded Amaze" or "Flashed Custom ICS rom on my Unbranded Amaze running GB 2.3 now phone is stuck on boot logo IF YOUR PHONE IS ON GB, YOU CAN NOT FLASH A CUSTOM ICS ROM UNTIL YOU HAVE FLASHED THE ICS RUU OR FIRMWARE PACKAGE. UNFORTUNATELY, YOU CAN NOT FLASH AN ICS RUU ON AN UNBRANDED AMAZE UNTIL YOU HAVE FOLLOWED THE STEPS IN THE GUIDE BELOW!
ENJOY**
*[GUIDE] Now, i will explain step-by-step how to MANUALLY upgrade from GB to ICS on an UNBRANDED Amaze, and hopefully avoid the headache others are facing.
1.) Make sure you have required HTC drivers installed
2.) Download Hasoon's All-In-One Toolkit
3.) Unlock your bootloader through htcdev.com (hasoon's toolkit can help)
4.) Now perform S-Off. You have to be on Stock Ruu to perform S-OFF, so best to do it now while you are still on stock
5.) Once you successfully S-OFF your device, you will then need to SuperCID your device
6.) When your device is S-Off and has SuperCID, you can then download this Amaze_ICS_RUU ..Rename the RUU to PH85IMG.zip and place it on the root of your EXTERNAL SDcard. Once this file is on the SDcard, do a battery pull, then turn the device back on while holding down the VOLUME DOWN button. it will prompt you to install, select yes and YAY, you will now be on ICS.
7.) Take the PH85IMG of the RUU off of your SDcard, and then put this PH85IMG of HBOOT on to the SDcard. Repeat the same instructions as step 6 to flash this IMG.
8.) Congratulations, you now have stock ICS. If you would like to flash custom ICS or JB roms, continue with steps 9 & 10
9.) Finally, Use Hasoon's toolkit to, Flash 4EXT Recovery AND
10.) Then to flash supersu.zip to gain root (also done using hasoons toolkit)
OH AND ALSO, you weren't thinking about creating a new thread asking anything about this topic were you? I hope not, seeing as all these people already did. these were all found only on pages 1-6!!! I didnt even have to use the search feature...

If you have already made the mistake of unlocking and trying to flash an ICS rom while still on GB, you can do the following to get back to GB and have a working device.
ATTENTION - Before continuing past this point, You must first have 4ext installed as your recovery if the device is S-Off.(you can use hasoons AIO toolkit to do this.) Once you have 4ext flashed, boot into recovery and in the settings Enable Smartflash
1) Download this GB rom
2) Next, Place the the downloaded file on your sd card.
3) Now Boot into 4ext recovery (battery pull, then start phone while holding down the power+VolumeDown buttons simultaneously).
4) Once in recovery, go to the Wipe/Format section and select "Format all partitions except SDcard"
5) Finally, after formating completes, verify that you have SmartFlash enabled & then flash the Rom you just downloaded from above..
Once this is complete, you should once again have a working device.
Please use this thread for any related questions/comments you may have so we can try and keep the forums a little more organized and clean. THANK YOU

Done the Mistake? now what to do?
Hi there,
I have done the same mistake that is mentioned in the start of this post. I have unlocked the bootloader. Flashed the custom 4EXT recovery and without doing the S-OFF thing (pardon me for doing this) but i tried to install the CM 10 ruby NIGHLTY rom. At first my mobile (Htc Amaze 4G) stuck during boot at the white htc screen. I then read many posts but none of them help as i am totally a newbee on this issue. Then I some who came to know that I must have not wiped out the previous data due to which this problem has occurred. So i went to wipe through the recovery and wiped Cache, Delvik Cache, performed system wipe and finally the factory reset. Then i rebooted the phone in recovery mode and flashed the CM10 rom. To my surprise it installed completely and when i rebooted the phone it booted up quite normally with Cyanogen mod ROM but stuck into a boot start loop. Moreover the gsm did not work on it. Please Help from here when i dont have my stock ROM in back up so really need you help please.

Please refer to post 2 to make your device useable again. You can not use any ICS Rom or higher if your device is still on GB. Period. No other solutions, no workarounds. You must first flash an official ICS RUU to update the firmware.

Hi, aj_2423,
I have followed the instructions that you gave in post # 2. I have 4EXT as my custom recovery. I have SMART EXT FLASH enabled but when i tried to use the command "format all partitions (except sdcard)" i noticed that there is an error which said
"Error mounting /sdcard/.android_secure!
Skipping format...
Data wipe complete.
All partitions formatted."
I just want to ask that is this normal or i have to do something else to remove this problem.

Hi the first thing you should do is take some time and READ the steps above first. Also i think youtube has videos you can watch.
Just type in 'htc amaze root' or something.
Dont worry if its not "your type" of amaze...they are all the same except fr the ruu and radios, just become familiar.
Build some confidence come back and follow the steps.
Honestly its not that hard and once you are comfortable its easy actually. Read through some of the other steps even though it doesnt relate to your type of amaze. Im sure aj wil chime in but read up first!!! Hasoons kit really simplifies stuff.
Again reas EVEYTHING THROUGH FIRST lol youll save your self hadaches later.

I recently bought a htc one x plus and as the person as i am, i quickly unlocked the bootloader, installed a custom recovery (ClockworkMod recovery) and kernel. But then i tried to flash a AOKP Jelly Bean 4.2.1 Custom ROM and after flashing it, it would just hang around the AOKP boot logo (a horse head with rotating rings around it). Then, without thinking, i relocked the bootloader (with a custom rom) to send it for warranty. Now, it would only go to the bootloader screen. After going through a few forums, i found out that this could be repaired by using the correct ruu for my device but they all say that i have to flash a stock recovery and boot.img before relocking the bootloader in order for the ruu to work. So my question is can i reunlock my bootloader to flash the stock recovery and boot.img without bricking the device and can flashing the correct ruu repair my phone. Please reply, i'm so desperate. The htc guys wanted me to pay $400 just to repair it and since i rooted the phone, warranty does not cover it.

But then i tried to flash a AOKP Jelly Bean 4.2.1 Custom ROM and after flashing it, it would just hang around the AOKP boot logo (a horse head with rotating rings around it). Then, without thinking, i relocked the bootloader (with a custom rom) to send it for warranty. Now, it would only go to the bootloader screen. After going through a few forums, i found out that this could be repaired by using the correct ruu for my device but they all say that i have to flash a stock recovery and boot.img before relocking the bootloader in order for the ruu to work. So my question is can i reunlock my bootloader to flash the stock recovery and boot.img without bricking the device and can flashing the correct ruu repair my phone. Please reply, i'm so desperate. The htc guys wanted me to pay $400 just to repair it and since i rooted the phone, warranty does not cover it.

You can unlock the boot again if you kept the code you received when you did it the 1st time round. Once you have unlocked it you can then flash any Rom. Did you make a nand backup before installing the custom Rom? If you did you can reinstall the custom recovery and restore the phone to stock.
I currently run the viper 3.4.2 rom, you could also install this after installing the custom recovery.

Hi Sharveen,
Please do youself a favor, and don't use the CWM Recovery, this Recovery is not adapted for this phone, I strongly suggest that you install TWRP Recovery, the latter is way more complete and rigorously tested on the HTC One X+.
TIP : Please read, read, read as much as you can before doing any changes to your phone, that can save you lots of problem.
First make sure your SDK tool (adb) is correctly installed and also the HTC's drivers. (There is a link for a tutorial in my signature.)
Download the correspondent recovery for your phone International OR AT&T/Telus (N.B. Links are available in the Sticky FAQ)
Flash the Recovery.
Clear Cache
Reboot in Recovery
DO A COMPLETE BACKUP OF YOUR ACTUAL ROM. BE SURE TO KEEP IT IN A SAFE PLACE
Install your correspondent version of any ROM.zip you want that is already on your storage. (Otherwise,Sideload a ROM to be able to flash one inRecovery)
Flash the boot.img of your desired ROM
Clear Cache Again
Reboot
Should work
Thank you soo much for replying and no, i did not make a nandroid backup when i tried to flash the rom. So can flashing a correct ruu repair my phone and hopefully get it back to stock rom...
Is your SDK/ADB tool correctly installed?

If you want to flash a RUU you need to install the original Recovery then flashing the correspondent RUU. Just let us know what is your preference, but as far as I am concern, your original backup wasn't made too bad, but you can still install a modded ROM.
This is gonna be your call for the continuity.

You could try searching the forum to see if someone has a nand backup for your phone. Only problem with ruu's is they haven't released the more up to date ones, so if your phone had the latest ota I doubt you will be able to use the ruu method. Personally I would use a custom Rom until you can find a nand for your phone.

The original recovery will be contained in the %temp% folder created by the ruu when opened but do i have to flash the boot.img which is also contained in the folder and also most of the forums says that you have to flash the boot.img after flashing the recovery while some says that you could relock the bootloader and flash the ruu after flashing the recovery only. So in my situation, do i have to flash the boot.img or not.

if you unlock your phone, you can only "relock" it, it will not become "locked" forever, even use RUU program

Hi,
Can someone help me please. I am looking for a rom for my AT&T US, HTC One M8. I'm running 4.4.2, Hboot 3.16, Radio 1.16..., and 1.58.502.1 firmware.I have the 3.4 kernel. I am unlocked, TWRP latest custom recovery, and rooted with SuperSU. I am S-On. I can't S-Off and can't update my Firmware. I need it to work in the US, so what rom can I flash that will work. When I go to Dev sites every rom I see only has the 4.4.3/4.4.4 versions with the new Firmware, for my device. When I try to flash .zip's through TWRP, Aroma gives me a success, but it auto reboots and I get stuck in boot loop... I am able to recover the stock image, but can't get a custom rom to stick. I have watched hours of videos and read hundreds of pages of threads. HELP
Thank You,
-Shane

There are 4.4.2 roms still available but your best bet is pay the $25 for sunshine s-off utility that way you can update your firmware and run whatever rom/kernel you want.
If you've tried the flash various ROMs, and they all won't boot, then the problem is not what ROM, but something else.
adb erase cache
Then, flash recovery again. Possibly re-download recovery, to make sure the file is not corrupt.

^^ I did that when I rooted the phone. I used the HTCDev to unlock it. I used Fastboot and adb in cmd from my PC to install TWRP and the Recovery file and clear the cache. Should I reflash recovery again???
I have wiped and tried factory resets before installing a rom. The problem is that I can't find the download link for an old rom for my specific phone. I need the 1.58.502.1 version (Don't I ?), so that I don't have to change my Firmware through S-OFF... When I find a rom that did make one that would work on my device, they have already updated the OP download link with their latest version to run with the updated AT&T 4.4.3/4.4.4 and 2.22.1540.3.
* I have the newest TWRP installed with the 24MB Recovery.img. I have SU installed with privileges. The phone passes rooted tests. Phone is S-ON... *

?----->Does anyone have a good link to a rom that will run on my; AT&T HTC One M8 running 4.4.2 & 1.58.502.1, (1.16.21331931.LA11G)? It was bought a month ago from an AT&T store...

I just told you to adb wipe cache and flash recovery again. Why are you asking me this? A lot of issues with TWRP not flashing ROMs can be solved by wiping cache and flashing again (probably just a bad initial install).

Any ROM that is not 2.xx Sense based.
I haven't checked every single thread/link, but most (if not all) 1.54 and 1.58 based Sense ROMs on my Index thread seem to be working:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2751432
This also includes the stock rooted 1.58 ROM, if you wish to go that route.

You sure? I haven't seen sunshine fail for anybody, much less AT&T, which hasn't had their software updated for sometime now. Regardless of how new the device is, its still the same 1.58 software, which is 3 months old at this point.
firewater, on the other hand is known to fail for more recent AT&T versions.

So for instance on your Index, I followed the link to ViperOneM8 1.6.0. This takes you to the Dev page for that rom. I follow the page to downloads that directs me another page. Along the way I find out that it looks like ViperOneM8 1.8 is the last update before 2.xx. The download page only has the most recent ViperOneM8_2.2.0.zip, or they offer the OTA increments of each previous version. Those aren't large enough to be the whole rom. How do I find the legacy full roms?

I think you picked one of the few (maybe the only one) that doesn't link to an actual 1.xx ROM. Just pick any other one.
EDIT: Oh, wait InsertCoin also. Will update the Index to show those as 2.22 ROMs.
Devs usually don't keep their legacy versions posted. Most you can do is ask if another member has the zip.

Thank you for all of the information. I guess the roms develop faster than I can get a phone for them It baffles me that a version for each baseline of a current device isn't listed. I guess I should flash back to the most current stock rom and wait for the OTA from AT&T. I might try the S-Off for $25, but I have seen a lot of chatter about newly bought M8 ATT devices not working. Something about them having a patch from HTC...
