First and foremost, I sincerely apologize if there is some information out there that I have missed or failed to read. I am a noob to this forum as far as posting goes but I've been reading posts here for some time and thus far I have been unable to find a solution to my problem.
This is the third time that I'm flashing my EVO 3D, however it is the first time I've actually used S-OFF. This particular iteration of my phone was completely vanilla ICS on hboot 1.58. I followed the dummy-proof guide stickied to this forum all the way through getting S-OFF through the "wire trick" method. At this point I wound up with a "jbear" version of hboot 1.58. Sweet deal.
Problem is I decided I wanted to try CM v10.1 so I had to change hboot to something below 1.57... No biggie. Except for I messed with the thing for hours and had absolutely no luck getting it to boot. The only thing that worked was returning to the jbear 1.58 hboot and restoring an earlier backup from 4EXT with the stock ROM.
Long story short after multiple flashes, going from jbear 1.58 to jbear 1.50 and back several times I finally got the phone running on CM v10.1 "Wild for the Night" with hboot ENG 1.04.
So... my question is as follows. Have I hosed something up in my tinkering by going back and forth between hboots multiple times? I'm concerned that doing the v1.58 "wire trick" S-OFF and then jumping from one hboot to the other only to wind up with ENG 1.04 might cause issues in the future.
I apologize for any incoherence on the above. It is now 6am and I've been at this for hours...

no, switching your hboots won't cause any issues with your phone. I will tell you however, always make sure you're on a compatible hboot for any ROM you flash
You can change hboots 10 times a day until you change your phone, nothing will break because of that. The problem is that some hboots are incompatible with some roms and some android versions. For most Jelly Bean you need the x hboot, while for Ice Scream Sandwitch you need the y hboot. You get the point l. Nothing breaks as long as you properly change hboots and don't get errors in the process of doing so.
Relax and flash away whatever you want
When flashing a new HBOOT you need to boot into recovery and wipe your cache partition then reboot again to recovery using the reboot to recovery option within recovery. Then flash ROM and GAPPS. Also make sure to be using the VERY latest 4ext recovery. The test version

I saw these suggestions on your development thread and followed them. This is how I finally got it to work with the ENG 1.04 and so far the ROM is working great.
Not to take my own thread off topic but is there a list of supported kernels for this ROM? I'm interested in under clocking, etc. and not sure if that's possible on stock.

Seems like we can no longer flash different kernels on cm10. What I suggest you do is try out dirty unicorns with dirty Mac kernel. Or kernel of your choice.

First off I would like to thank Dropzeroc and Team 420 for an amazing Rom and for improving the experience of everyone using an Evo3D. I wanted to share with everyone else suffering from HBoot 1.5 that if you have been using Chads ICS Firmware fix because of constant bootloops you dont need to downgrade your HBoot to 1.4. I know every time i would flash the firmware fix it would break many bugs that had already been fixed, I had to flash it to avoid getting constant boot-loops. But Juopunutbear's Wire trick to get S-Off was a miracle fix, and after it turns S-Off it asks if you would like to install a custom Juopunutbear Hboot. After this is done you are officially on HBoot 1.5 S-Off! And can flash any ICSense ROMS successfully without having bootloops! I really hope this helps someone enjoy their ROMs that much MORE because i know it feels good TO FINALLY BE FREED FROM THE CURSE OF S-ON! THIS ROM IS THE FUNK!
And now i have everything Working!

BTW: This solved my boot-looping issues I am in no way representing Juopunutbear or any of his affiliates. I am only sharing with all of you a solution i found, allowing me to leave the bootlooping days behind me. And fully enjoy both The ICS ROMs and Kernels.
It worked for me 1.50 s-off now!
Fortunately for me, I haven't had the bootloops yet on 1.5 S-ON. Currently running MeanROM ICS 1.0. I may end up trying it anyways though, just so I don't have to worry about it.

Yea I was using that kernel for a while as well but aside from the notciable battery drain, you also have to deal with the incompatibility and so many working features from the ROM get broken in the process. But indeed this was all I could use to boot any ICSense ROM w/o going into boot-loops. But now I can flash Whatever Whenever

That's great to hear you haven't had any issues. I'm noticing that HBoot 1.5 is kinda weird like that, with some ppl having issues while others don't. Although I was a little concerned with this "wire method" I can assure you it wasn't hard at all and was a rather smooth process. Longest part was flashing back to ZR3D 3.0 GT to be able to successfully mount and have proper communication between my evo3d and computer, which was a feature that would break once i would flash the firware fix by chad. All in all it was definitely worth it for me because Flash GUI, and Smart Flash, as well and using fastboot to flash kernels was getting REALLY OLD! Now I will never have those issues again!
BTW: I cant assure you will have the same results i did, the process was short and sweet for me. But can be very different for you, just follow the instructions carefully if your up for it, and I dont see how you could go wrong

Hi all I am currently using a ics Rom with hboot 1.5 s on my goal is to be able to flash these roms with out using chads fix which helped me a lot thanks chad but it looks like the kernel won't be updated to fix breaks. So I have gone thru forums and have seen downgrading to 1.4 s off. My question is this if I downgrade will I loose the flash I have for metro pcs? And is it nessasary to downgrade to accomplish what I would like to achieve having ics without the breaks. Thank you all for the help.
sorry
Hi again sorry didn't say. I have a HTC EVO 3d cdma
Some roms have built in support for metro (like nocturnal ics), so you could downgrade and then flash one of those.
Or you could do a nandroid of your current setup and restore it after the downgrade process.

Before you attempt to downgrade, please write down all MetroPCS radio/PRI/PRL, etc info. Someone asked a similar question somewhere else about Boost. I believe he warned everyone that it will erase and you need all the info to restore his Boost (MOST LIKELY metroPCS) service.
You can also take a screen shot of the settings as well.

Ok Thank you all for your help but let me ask this there's this (wire trick) I hear there's a lot of success and I hear that some fail. If I did choose to use this method would it too remove flashed metro info? And does it have to be h-boot 1.4 s.off to flash the i.c.s roms or can I use 1.5 h-boot s.off? I'm still pretty new to this but starting to get the hang reading what a lot of great people are posting.

From my reading, it seems either is ok. I still would suggest 1.4 s-off as that's what I have and it is solid for me. Roms flash with no trouble and I get no bootloops. But the 1.5 s-off method is easier so maybe someone with 1.5 s-off can report their success rate (ease of flashing roms, stability, etc).

I think that's actually the thread where someone warned about his Boost info getting wiped, I could be wrong.
After s-off is achieved, hboot is sorta irrelevant. You can always flash a new hboot. I'm on eng hboot 1.04.
I upgraded my hboot from 1.4 to 1.58 and my Evo 3d reverted back to sprint, I had to pay again to flash it back to metropcs.
The same happened when I flashed a jelly bean rom. Tried 3 times different roms with no success. I've spent enough money already to buy a 4G LTE.

I'm still a noob when it comes to Android. My 3D had a 1.30 hboot, and I rooted it with Revolutionary the day it was released back last summer.
So I had been using the ICS CM9 rom that was first released several months ago (actually my phone was sitting in my drawer as I was waiting on an official ICS update)
Anyway I flashed PG86IMG.zip from Virus
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?p=29613228#post29613228
and followed all the steps. Everything went smoothly.
Now I wanted to return to CM9 or any other non-sense rom so I could use a bluetooth wiimote since I heard HTC sense roms don't support the proper BTstack.
Every time I flash any of those roms, they end in endless boot loops. CM9 Devil Toast, CM10, none of them work. I do superwipe and everything. The only roms that work are sense based. How do I fix this?
My Hboot is now 1.58. It says ***LOCKED*** with "SHOOTER XC SHIP S-OFF RL". I heard this doesn't mean anything because I'm still rooted with S-Off, but why can't I flash those roms anymore? I want to play some GBA with the WiiMote.
I can't seem to find exact info on my problem. I know I should ask in Virus' thread, but his roms are working fine.
Thanks.

You should be able to just flash a different Hboot. There is a thread in the Dev section with the 1.40 and the Eng 1.04 Hboots. Just flash and you can go back.
From what I understand you cannot run AOSP or older Sense builds on the newer Hboot currently.
I've been trying to flash some of these new roms such as Cool ICS and SolidRom MyUI, both to no avail. I am on h-boot 1.4 with s-off. The last successful rom I had running on the phone was ICS MIUI. I had tried flash these roms on ext4 initially, then I tried twrp and both without success. Any tips/suggestions to get one of these roms to work?
Do I need a newer h-boot in order to flash these newer roms with newer kernels? If so, then how/what do I flash without losing s-off?
Well here goes nothing...going to try jbear's 1.58 hboot.
I still get bootloop after installing Cool ICS...
Getting bootloop with SolidRom MyUI as well. Could use some help please.

If you are s-off then this should be easy to fix.
Some HBOOTs can only work for certain firmwares.
So if you want to run a ICS rom, you need to upgrade your hboot to either stock hboot 1.58, or Jbear's 1.58.5858
To upgrade your hboot, download the correct hboot from ramjet73's post here then rename the file to PG86IMG with the files extension as .ZIP
Place that on the root of your SDcard and boot into your bootloader. Accept the update, then restart your phone.
***EDIT***
I wasn't correct on some of the hboots and got some mixed up with the gsm EVO, for more info on hboots go to the link which ramjet73 has posted below.
I HOPED THIS HELPS!

Then there are the newer firmwares that everyone has been having a fit over, 1.50, 1.58.0000, 1.53, 1.58.5858 (this is the Juopunutbear's custom hboot)
Those are the hboots that run only SPRINT/VM ICS roms.

You might want to read through this thread to get the correct information on CDMA hboots. Most of those you mentioned are Sprint bootloaders (the only VM bootloaders are 1.57 and JBear 1.57.5757) but 1.53 is for GSM phones only.

Leogy,
I have the Evo V 1.57 H-Boot S-Off that's rooted and with 4Ext recovery. My question is, what ROMS are compatible with this setup. I know CM10 isn't which is fairly disappointing. I wanna flash something different so I can WIFI Tether. Thank you.

CM10 does work with the Evo V
If you are refering to MMS not working you can find a fix Here. And it seems your on hboot 1.57 if you had read the CM10 OP you noticed you need to downgrade your hboot to 1.50 or lower. (eng boot recommended)
Im also sure any CDMA Rom will work with your device you might just have to change the APN
Okay. I understand that and thank you for the help. But my other question was are there any compatible ROMs with my H-Boot?

Most ICS Sense based ROM's should work fine with hboot 1.57. There are many in the Evo 3D development forum on XDA and some specifically designed for the Evo V in that device forum on androidforums.com.
You will need to downgrade your hboot if you want to run GB and/or AOSP based ROM's and there are instructions to do that here. My favorite hboot is JBear 1.50.5050 since it is the newest version that boots most ROM's.

I'll check them out. Everytime I tried running an ASOP Rom, it just wanted to bootloop. Drives me crazy. Thank you. Appreciate it.
