I have the CDMA Evo 3D
*** UNLOCKED ***
SHOOTER XC SHIP S-ON RL
HBOOT-1.50.0000
eMMC-boot
It is Rooted and running the Sprint 2.17 odex ROM 2.3.4 Gingerbread
With TWRP Recovery.
I've been reading forums for three weeks. No one has given me a clear answer.
What I want to do is get ICS. Now before you all facepalm and say "Use the wire trick noob" It's not that simple.
My phone was flashed to Boost Mobile. I didn't flash it and I have not the slightest Idea how to flash and according to support at http://www.unlimited.io The wire trick will clear my flash. So the wire trick is a no no.
Now there was a method where you flash the boot.img using fastboot
"fastboot flash boot boot.img"
It pushes it and says success.
Then I reboot into recovery (vol down and power button)
and flash the ROM. It bootloops every single time.
I've been looking for a way to S-Off safely with no luck, so now I'm determined to master the flash process. All i want is One working ICS ROM for my device.
Thanks in advance for the help, Nova.
Have you tried to flash the kernel AFTER flashing the ROM?
It really is being s-on that is causing the issue.

Gonna try now will edit with updates
Wiped Cache/dalvik cache now flashing PARANOIDANDROID ICS ROm..
Flash succcessful, pulled the battery and vol down=power into bootloader
now in fastboot, flashing boot.img
Sending...
OKAY
*Random times here*
Finished
Now i've rebooted and the bootanimation is playing. I'll update to tell if it's bootlooping
Yup, still bootlooping.
ried entire process with Cool ICS ROm. NO BOOTLOOP ! YAY!
but instead it shows the homescreen for three seconds then shuts off.
The link below discusses Boost. The poster seems to know a lot about Boost so you might want to PM him about getting s-off. I really do think s-off will fix your issues.

Why don't you just flash a stock gingerbread ROM them stock recovery and relock your bootloader then take the ota update , let it install then unlock via HTC Dev again...
from what I learned from being S-ON with 1.5 unlocked, you have to:
flash the boot.img file BEFORE flashing the ROM. extract it from the ROM push it via fastboot, enter recovery via fastboot then wipe wipe WIPE everything except your SD card 3X, flash ROM, enjoy ICS goodness

Both are in the CDMA development stickies. I think rooting is still the same for the new ota.

Found out how to go stock, but I only found bootloader locking tutorials for GSM phones. can you link to stock recovery?

Have you try using live boot-cd by unknownforce (hope not wrong to spell his name)? That method will temp brick your phone so all partition will back to stock, i have try once and my flashed number is disappear and need to reflash carrier once again.

If you are booting recovery via fast boot and then flashing a ROM, there is no need to flash boot.img separately. The recovery will work as if you are s-off. And there is no logic in wiping partitions 3x.....
Or you can directly flash a ROM from recovery without booting recovery via fast boot, and then flash boot.img via fast boot.
Or use 4ext recovery and turn smart flash on, and flash ROMs directly without using fast boot.

It might my friend..maybe..juuust maybe it will. If it does o0u can always try and reflash back to Boost?
As far as I know, both unknownforce's, and the wire trick to downgrade the bootloader to hboot 1.4 will erase your flash to boost... Ask me how I know...lol!
Have you tried the app flash image GUI? When I was s on, I used this app to flash the kernel, then I went to recovery, and flashed the Rom, and all worked as long as the kernel was compatible with the specific Rom I was flashing, maybe you can try flashing the VM leak kernel, then an ics Rom

That's just the way its ever worked for me so I found it was worth giving out my way at least as an opinion I know once you boot into recovery via fastboot is SUPPOSED to work that way, never did for me hence my weird method. Wiping partitions may not have any logic to you sir, but to some of us it does back from the OG EVO days, that's what devs there used to post, that's what I've gone with as a routine for myself.
I've known peeps who attempt the ROM first boot then reflash boot.img after- endless powercycle. Never happened when I tried it but eh
4EXT wasn't always around so I guess I'm still trying to get used to easier flashin on this phone. I enver used smart flash on this one because when I was S-ON I did it the fastboot method, then the Unknown Force method came to be and I never had a need for it.
Evo 3D on Boost S-off but problems with ICS ROMs
Background:
EVO 3D (CDMA) flashed to Boost Mobile. Sept 2011
Rooted HTC Method Oct 2011
ROMs ROMs ROMs until about 6 months ago (currently using Eternity Infected Rom 1.4.2)
Tried to go to ICS and had problems so did S-off wire trick Aug 2012 (Lost Boost Mobile flash) Had to reflash to Boost.
Now:
****Unlocked****
Shooter XC Ship S-OFF RL
HBOOT 1.50.0000
baseband 97.10.0808
I'm in a quandry at this point of what to do next.
I'm not able to successfully load any of the new ROMs. I tried just upgrading to Infected ROM 2.0 but it also always has issues like it forces me to use skype or email won't open. I'm guessing it is because I load my old data from Titanium backup and it isn't compatible. I tried Mean ROM and it works and changes my kernel but I don't like it as it is full of Sprint Bloatware which does me no good on Boost. I've tried to load the latest Viper ICS ROM and it just stays stuck on the HTC screen.
Hi guys,
I'm getting a little problem installing the cyanogenmod 9 on my device, so I founded that I have to "fastboot flash boot boot.img" when i flash cyano. I know how to do that, but I want to ask you: I kept s-on to prevent damages on my smartphone, are there any serious risks flashing boot that way?
Thanks,
Ruben.
As long as you flash the right one, i dont think so but i am not sure. I s offed few weeks back, i can recommenf it

as long as you flash an evo 3d(cdma OR gsm) boot.img you shouldnt have a problem. At the most the phone will bootloop which can be corrected by flashing the correct boot.img from bootloader

Flashing a cdma boot.img on a gsm and vice versa can brick your phone if i'm correct.. That's why some flashable kernels have shooter and shooteru files.
As I've read, shooteru is the GSM version isn't it? By the way, I'm SURE the boot is correct, because I take it directly from the ROM I'm going to flash, that is exactly for my device

Shooteru i gsm yes, if you take the boot.img from the rom it shouldn´t hurt.. since flashing the rom itself is doing the same. It's just a kernel.
I'm doing it, let's see if it works
that why i included the OR its either cdma or gsm. different devices as far as the kernel is concerned
Uff, the ROM keeps rebooting infinite times! Now I'm trying to reflash the rom and boot.img...

What is your hboot? If its 1.53 the rom wont boot. This hboot is known to have issues with CM. I would suggest you try out some other ics rom for now.
You should get s-off and downgrade your hboot if you want agrabrens CM

Wifi not working in stock kernel means that the stock kernel isnt compatible with the rom you are trying to run. You could look for a kernel with the most stockish setting. I think anryl, coolexe and "the other one" all can be set up to behave mostly like the stock htc kernel. Just have to tweak it right

I just want to point out to the op that anything you flash on your phone has the potential to damage your phone and worst case scenario: bricking your phone. Just make sure you research and do a lot of reading. But I'm pretty sure you already knew that.

Hope you guys can help me...n sorry for my broken english...THANKS
S off or s on? Your phone comes s on, with s off you dont.need fastboot flash. Full wipe in.recovery > wipe all user data + dalvik and cache.
First flash the rom, then flash.kernel
sent from my almighty forbidden viper evo3d
full wipe, install rom, then flash boot.img,
Assuming you have a custom recovery installed, you will have an option to do a full-wipe.. It wipes a few partitions on your device and I believe cache from your phone... It does not wipe your personal data on the sd (other than apps installed on phone) card so don't worry about that. He meant install the rom first then fastboot flash boot boot.img in fastboot.

If you are using fastboot to flash the boot.img, why not just start your recovery with fastboot using the following command:
fastboot boot recovery.img (where "recovery.img" is the name of the recovery file you flashed)
That will put your recovery in a mode where it can flash boot.img as part of the ROM or kernel zip and then you won't have to extract it to flash it separately. You also need to disable SmartFlash (S-ON) in the tools menu if you are using 4EXT recovery when using the fastboot method.

oK SO I GONE THROUGH AND TRIED TO FIND A WAY TO GET MY AMAZE TO WORK- I USED HANSOON TOOL TO UNLOCK AND ROOT MY DEVICE. iM ROOTED AND I DO NOT HAVE S OFF. eVERYTHING HADF BEEN FINR AFTER ROOTING THE PROBLEM SEEM TO START AFTER TRING TO M,AKE A NANDROID BACKUP IN TWRP RECOVERY AFTER IT FINISHED I TRIED TO RESTART AND ALL I GET IS THE HTC LOGO SCREEN- I HAVE GONE IN AND TRIED INSTALLING THE RRI FILES I BEILEVE AND STILL HAVE HAD NO LUCK DOES ANYONE HAVE ANY HELP U CAN SUGGEST TO GET MY PHONE BACK UP AND RUNNING- MY BOOTLOODERS ARE UNLOCKED I CAN GET TO FAST BOOT AND HBOOT- AND CAN GET TO RECOVERYBUT WONT LOAD
First of all you need to ditch twrp and flash 4ext recovery, especially if u are s-on. Then reflash the custom Rom of your choice, not an ruu.
I'm guessing u meant to say RUU where u said RRI files. To flash an ruu u would flash it through bootloader and would have to have a locked bootloader to do it.

here's a way to return to stock RUU, you need the all-in-one toolkit from hasoon2000
download this file Here and rename it to PH85IMG.zip (this file is for ICS) the older one for GB didnt work for me
use the "Relock Bootloader" command on hasoon's toolkit to relock your bootloader (i received a security warning when doing so, but still worked)
place the PH85IMG.zip file on the root of your SD Card
turn off device and remove the battery. Reinsert the battery then simultaneously hold the volume down and power buttons (to boot fastboot)
Fastboot will detect the image file on your external storage. After it loads, accept the "update" - this will revert you to stock (including recovery and radio).

simple solution
Step 1: Boot phone into bootloader by removing battery then placing battery back in phone then turning phone on by holding VOL down and Power button
Step 2: use hansoons AIO toolkit while in bootloader to flash 4EXT recovery
Step 3: boot into recovery and use 4EXT's to mount your phone to the PC using their "toggle USB storage" feature which lets you access your SD card while in recovery
Step 4: place another ROM on your phone, and then disconnect phone from PC
Step 5: do a full system wipe before you flash new rom, Format DATA SYSTEM CACHE+DELVIK
Step 6: FLASH Rom you placed on SD CARD previously
Step 7: After flashing rom successfully go back into 4ext recovery or download 4ext recovery control, and make a NANDROID backup in-case you fk **** up later or again

Well since u are already unlocked and have a custom recovery u may as well try and get a custom Rom flashed since flashing an RUU will require u to relock your bootloader.
So start out by using hasoons toolkit and flash 4ext.

yes you can flash any custom ICS/JB rom as long as your using 4EXT recovery with smart flash enabled with S-ON.. but i'm not sure if there's any JB rom's for the amaze with DATA working, CM9/10 AOKP all have problems with the data , if you want JB you might have to go with JB ICS themed rom.. like Fourth Bar Infusion.. i think Speed Rom also..
Ok, I am banging my head against the wall trying to figure this damn issue out. I have s-off via the Wiretrick method. I have tried 1.04 ENG, Juopunutbear's 1.50, 1.57, and 1.58, and Revolutionary hboot 1.40 Hboots. They were all flashed via the boot loader. I am running the latest 4ext recovery, and before that I was running TWRP 1.1.1. I seem to be able to boot into ICS roms just fine, (Harmonia and DigitalHigh MIUI) How ever though, I can not get booted into any Jellybean rom I try. I've tried Slimbean, AOKP, and DigitalHigh Miui JB. Wtf am I doing wrong, and how do I go about fixing it?

Did you do the "fix everything" thread?
Here's what I would recommend:
1. Flash the VM RUU.
2. Boot into the stock ROM and download and flash the OTA.
3. Flash a custom bootloader (JBear 1.50.5050 works well with both 4EXT and TWRP)
4. Use fastboot to flash 4EXT or recovery
5. Format "all partitions except SD card" in 4EXT
6. Flash and boot whatever AOSP based ROM you want
If you can't get the OTA via "System updates" in settings after flashing the RUU, follow the instructions for S-OFF users in this post to download and install it.
I think that will fix your booting problems. If all that works and you prefer TWRP you should be able to flash 2.3.3.0 after performing the above steps and still flash and boot most ROM's successfully.

That might work if you install the HTC drivers but this is probably a better way:
1. Download the VM RUU.exe to a Windows virtual machine.
2. Use the method in this post to extract the rom.zip file and rename it to PG86IMG.zip.
3. Flash the RUU from your current bootloader.
The rest of the steps should be doable on Linux as long as you have the ADB/fastboot directory setup.
BTW, as soon as you mentioned Harmonia I knew you have an Evo V 4G since nobody uses that on the Evo 3D.

Yes, but if you are s-off, you'll remain that way. Then you can just flash a custom hboot and recovery and then ROM and you're set. If your s-on, you'll have to reroot after unlocking through HTCdev.
Alright, so I flashed stock ruu updated to ics and updated everything else. I remained S-off and unlocked bootloader.if I read this correctly now I flash recovery> flash SU (for root)>and finally reflash JB room?

There is no need to root the stock ROM unless you want to nandroid it that way.
Since you are S-OFF and have unlocked the bootloader (or if you flashed a custom bootloader) you can use the "fastboot boot recovery recovery.img" command to flash your custom recovery, then wipe and flash a custom ROM. Make sure to flash an hboot lower than the stock 1.58 version before flashing a JB ROM.

And to add to that, I'd use one of the custom bootloaders. I use 1.4 revolutionary myself.
Ok ill give it a shot. The thing is that I had originally installed Jbear custom hboot and had the same issue. I downgraded to 1.4 same issue. But ill retry. Thanks

No. The stock ICS ROM will not. Do you have the micro sd to sd card adapter to use in your computer?
Duh of course don't know how I forgot that. Well I redid the whole process and now I'm on MIUI JB. Thanks again guys!

Did you do the "fix everything" thread?
Here's what I would recommend:
1. Flash the VM RUU.
2. Boot into the stock ROM and download and flash the OTA.
3. Flash a custom bootloader (JBear 1.50.5050 works well with both 4EXT and TWRP)
4. Use fastboot to flash 4EXT or recovery
5. Format "all partitions except SD card" in 4EXT
6. Flash and boot whatever AOSP based ROM you want
If you can't get the OTA via "System updates" in settings after flashing the RUU, follow the instructions for S-OFF users in this post to download and install it.
I think that will fix your booting problems. If all that works and you prefer TWRP you should be able to flash 2.3.3.0 after performing the above steps and still flash and boot most ROM's successfully.

No, but here's a guide you can use instead.
As to what causes it, nobody has identified the specific reason, but in general terms it seems to be caused by mixing and matching various firmware and ROM updates.
It's like the GB and AOSP ROM's not booting with the stock (1.57/1.58) hboots. Nobody has identified why they don't work so we just downgrade them to work around the problem.

I've been a Sprint user for a long time so I don't know what's involved in flashing the Evo 3D to Boost, but here's a post from a Cricket user that might help.
Anything you do to modify your phone is at your own risk so you will need to decide if it is safe or not. I suggest using Google to get more feedback about using the RUU when when flashed to another carrier.

HI!!! people i tried to flash CM11 and i don't know but something went wrong!!!
i use clockworkmod recovery and when i installed the rom and rebooted it.

this was my first rom that i tried to flash on my htc amaze 4G
PLEASE HELP!!!!!
my phone is rooted and the bootloader is unlocked.
also i didnt make any backup of the original rom!!!
HELP!!!!
Hello
Did you flash the boot.img separately using fastboot?
Also I have read that using 4ext recovery is much better for this device while flashing, with its SmartFlash feature turned on. You can try flashing the rom again using 4ext.
