I have a Evo 3d, hboot 1.50 latest radios, prl, pri. I had OMJ's latest Rom, and used Flash Image Gui to flash a custom Kernel package; I flashed Tiamuts "Tiamat_E3D-v1.1.0-Sense" http://downloads.tiamat-dev.com/8x60/110/Tiamat_E3D-v1.1.0-Sense.zip, and rebooted, then my phone was locked up on just the HTC screen.
I can still access the Bootloader, and Fastboot, and Recovery. I tried rolling back to my nandroid backup, and also reflashing the stock kernel through recovery (as the Rom won't ully load), and now all I get is a black screen after the HTC logo, and the phone is responsive to power and capacitive buttons, but no display at all.
Tried full wipe, and reflash of OMJ, even CleanRom.... Just black screen after HTC logo.... Any Ideas ? With Bootloader, Fastboot, and Recovery, you'd think I could unbrick, but no luck.
I'm sorry... I'm not a complete noob, I've been on the scene since early TP2s, and always rooted and custom rom’ed my Evo 4g.... Please help guys. Thanks in advance.

Since you're on the HTC unlock method, in order for the custom recovery to properly work, i.e. flash all partitions including the kernel/boot partition, you have to access the custom recovery differently than the traditional method.
The proper command and method to access the custom recovery in order for the HTC unlock method to grant it write access to the kernel/boot partition is through fastboot. The full command is: fastboot boot c:\cwm-recovery.img . Once you've temporarily fastboot booted the custom recovery, you can then properly flash a ROM or restore a nandroid as both will be allowed write access to the kernel/boot partition.
Appreciate your support in using my application! Hope that helps!
Deleted my own question. I think I found a thread where it will be more appropriate.
Like joeykrim stated, you must access the recovery from fastboot to be able to flash kernels, nandroids and what not from recovery if you used HTC's method to unlock you phone. You are not bricked. It is fully fixable.
I have Clockwork Recovery flashed, always have (the only version compatible with Hboot 1.50, v4.0.1.4). I still have full access to the Bootloader, Customer Recovery, and Fastboot. But despite reflashing a fresh Rom (2 in fact), full wipes, reflashing boot.img with stock kernel; all the phone will do is boot past the HTC screen, vibrate, and the screen goes black. Capacitive buttons are responsive, and so is the power button, just no display. ...... Idk what else to Flash to get this phone booting again, any ideas ?
I had same problem I have 1 file name PG86IMG.zip I don't remember from where I downloaded 1st Iplaced this on SD root folder and turn on phone with volume down and power button and it care of everything

You arent bricked if you can still get into fastboot, recovery, etc. I would recommend using this app called Flash Image GUI on the market, it's only $0.99 and I am (as we speak) flashing ziggy's dual core kernel. Oh wait my phone rebooted now. Its fast as all get out and my WiFi works (yay). But like I said this method is the EASIEST way to flash kernels!

I think the file you're referring to is the RUU (ROM Update Utility) file which can be placed in the root of the sdcard as PG86IMG.zip and flashed to competely reload all stock software (radios, system, kernel, etc) on the device.
These files are available at http://goo-inside.me/shooter/ruu.

Seems as if there is some issue with the display. If you confirm you have adb access to the device, I would think the issue lies in the android /system. If you don't have adb access, I would think the issue lies in the kernel/ramdisk.
Either way, if you want to eliminate both issues, reflash my Stock ROM - [ROM] joeykrim-original-1.2.0 Odex *Stock Rooted 2.08.651.2*, which will reload the stock kernel and the stock system with only adding in root access. I run this ROM as my daily ROM and it works great for keeping the phone stock but allowing root access.
Make sure to access the custom recovery through, fastboot boot c:\android\cwm-recovery.img . If you load the custom recovery through adb reboot recovery, or bootloader and selecting recovery from the menu, the HTC unlock method will not grant recovery write access to the kernel/boot partition.
Worse case, my stock ROM with stock Kernel doesn't resolve the display issue, you should flash the stock RUU files at http://goo-inside.me/shooter/ruu . If that doesn't resolve the issue, you'll prob need to exchange/return the device as it would seem to be a hardware issue.
Hope that helps! Good luck!
I followed this guide here to root my EVO 3D:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1239821
Then my friend who already had a rooted Galaxy S told me to get ROM Manager and it installed Clockwork Recovery. I didn't know you only needed one recovery since I'm noob at this and when I tried to install a Custom ROM with Clockwork, it just boots and I get the Sprint logo and nothing happens. I try to boot into TWRP and nothing also happens. I think having two recoverys is going a major issue with my phone and I'm unable to install any roms. Is there anyway to go back to just having the TWRP Recovery and get rid of the ClockWork/ROM Manager? Or will I have to reset everything and root again?
Huh... Sounds like the hboot 1.5 is giving you issues... Use image GUI app for 1.5 to flash right from normal android mode( everyday user mode) look the thread in themes and apps to get it installed. Let me know how it goes here. No link as I'm using the tapa app

You can't have 2 recoveries installed at the same time...if you initially had TWRP, when you flashed clockwork it would've over-written TWRP. You don't need to reset anything or re-root to get back to TWRP. You should just be able to flash TWRP again. Use the method from the thread you initially followed. Just the part about flashing TWRP is all you need to do. I've never tried it, but you could also try flashing it with the app flash gui image, or something to that nature. Joeykrim developed it and I've heard it works nice, here's where to find info about it, http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1192527. If your phone won't boot, the flash gui image app prob wouldn't be the best way. I would just boot your phone to fastboot, re-flash TWRP recovery, then flash a rom and try rebooting.
I don't have hboot 1.5, so I'm not up to date on the 'special' ways you need to flash, but I know that you need to boot into recovery from fastboot in order to flash a kernel, and I'm not sure if there's other steps you need to to take in the flashing process, so research that and make sure you're doing it correctly. If you don't boot to recovery from fastboot, the kernel won't flash and you'll be stuck in boot loops or something like that. Good luck.
Thank you guys! The flash image gui thing made the fix very seamless. I just flashed TWRP again and now it's showing up. Flashing synergy nitely now. Woot!
Hello , thank you for reading this. I'm trying to fix my amaze, it's stuck on the HTC boot logo. Phone was running latest tmobile rom, i unlocked the bootloader and rooted it to remove some tmobile bloatware using bloat freezer. Well the phone kept having these weird problems so i looked to install a custom rom. I installed clockworkmod recovery and then put my downloaded rom which was in a ZIP file onto the sd card. I booted into recovery, made a backup, then wiped data, then wiped dalvick cache or w/e it's called. wiped partition, then installed the ROM. the initial setup went good, phone said successful boot but when i restart it stays on the boot logo. So after some reading it looks like i didn't flash the kernel. So i found the boot.img file in the rom zip file but now i'm not sure what to do with it. I can boot into recovery but that is it. How can i flash the kernel with just clockwork recovery mod? Please help! I obviously would really like to get my phone up and running.
So as of now i have some custom roms on the SD card along with the OEM Ruby rom. I tried installing the tmobile stock ruby rom and it just says install aborted and it can not install. What should i do now? I juts want to get the phone working now. Thanks
Install 4ext recovery, it will flash the kernel for you, just make sure to turn on smartflash in the settings before you flash a rom if you're still S-On. If you're S-Off, then no need for smartflash

thank you. is there a way to install 4ext when the phone is just in recovery mode? my phone is just at the clockwork recovery main home screen right now. i can mount the drive and put files on the phone but that is it. thanks again
Okay so the tmobile stock rom is on the sd card. I renamed it to PH85IMG.zip and booted into hboot mode, it found the zip package and there was a loading bar. But then it went back to the boot screen. I tried restarting and it wouldn't move past the HTC quietly brilliant screen. I tried using the all in one tool kit to flash 4ext but it just keeps saying waiting for device. Pretty sure it wont work in clockworkmod recovery. Starting to get worried

Too flash the T-Mobile ruu you would have to relock your bootloader first.
As for flashing 4ext with the toolkit, when it said waiting device, were you in the bootloader, or did u select fastboot?

i think he was in recovery. ok so flash 4ext with the toolkit (i think you need to be in fastboot for the toolkit to flash it). then go to tools(in 4ext recovery) scroll down till the end and make sure smart flash is enabled (when it says enable smart flash means its not enabled and you need to click that, if it says disable smart flash then dont touch it you re good). then you can install a custom rom and it wont boot loop
hope this helps
hey guys thank you so much for taking time to help me! i got it flashed with 4ext and now using smartflash i'm able to flash roms onto it. so relieved to get it working, thanks again!

So I was just in a boot loop on my stock ROM that was rooted and I was trying to install a custom ROM but got stuck in a boot loop. So I followed a bunch of things and ended up getting stuck at my carrier logo loading screen. So I found another thing that said to go into recovery (which I did using clockworkmod) and install a new custom ROM (which I did, and that ROM being cyanogenmod). So I installed this new ROM and now I'm back into the boot loop but this time it loops through the cyanogenmod loading screen, the HTC turning on screen, and a plain black off screen. HELP MEE!!!
I suggest using 4ext recovery
If you want any other Rom than stock-based, you need to lower your hboot to 1.5 or lower
You can only change hboot if you are s off
If you are s on, install 4ext recovery and make sure smartflash is enabled.
you need to be sure and wipe all partitions except your sd card.
If it still bootloops, you need to get the boot.IMG from the Rom, and flash it in fastboot USB mode.

What had happened:
I got a free tablet, decided to **** around with it....
so, i decided to use odin to flash TWRP recovery with it..
however.. when i try to get to recovery mode, it only shows a ! mark.
therefore, i tried to flash a rooted system image. it worked.
then, with my newly found rooted device, i tried to fix my recovery by
attempting to use cwm.... i pressed on to "boot to recovery", and now its
stuck on a infinite loop, booting to the ! mark. the only thing i can access is download mode.
so.. how do i fix it? feel free to ask any qns i will try to provide the infomation needed.
thanks.
Well, the problem here seems to be that you messed up with the boot or the system files, maybe your bootloader is blocked so you need root to flash a custom recovery or ROM and to unlock the bootloader, you should first check the CWM supported devices list before actually flashing Clockwork recovery!
Try to flash a full stock rom through fastboot mode.
