I've got an Amaze 4G on Wind Mobile. My brother and I recently tried upgrading it to ICS. We followed numerous sets of instructions, flashing a recovery, a new version of hboot, s-offing the phone, changing the SuperCID and flashing an ICS ROM. We originally tried Android Revolution HD, but the phone always got stuck at the HTC logo and wouldn't boot up.
After a few hours of searching the forums and trying various things, we finally got the Energy ROM version 5/1 installed, after changing the SuperCID back to the Wind default (globa001 I think). We figured it was an issue with the Revolution ROM, but when I tried upgrading to Energy 5/6, I ran into the same issue.
I have searched the forums and found numerous people with the same problem, but I have not found a solution. I spent all night flashing ROMs and trying various things and I finally got it to go to the Energy boot animation, but it would just sit there and do nothing (I left it a good half hour). The next morning I tried installing Speed Rom with the SuperCID 11111111 and it worked. However, I had tried the same thing the night before, so I'm not sure what changed.
I'm not happy with Speed and would like to go back to Energy, but I'm worried it will brick my phone again.
I am currently using the TWRP recovery, but I used 4ext before with the same result. My firmware versions are as follows:
RUBY PVT SHIP S-OFF RL
HBOOT-1.93.0002
OpenADSP-v02.6.0.2226.00.0202
eMMC-boot
Any help would be very much appreciated.

ok, well if your on wind mobile you want to use super cid.
but heres what i think the problem is, you didnt mention anything about wiping. try flashing the superwipe.zip before flashing roms. and always have a nandroid of a working rom. or else you may get stuck....
if you need anymore help, i will be watching this thread
Sorry, I forgot to mention that. I used superwipe and tried the various wipe options in the recovery, with the same result.
I'll definitely look into nandroid before I try installing another rom ;-)
I'd advise switching back to 4EXT recovery, makes flashing easier, trust me. Now update your phone to stock ICS, install 4EXT recovery then format all partitions except sd then install the ROM of your choice.
Before installing ICS you'll need to flash GB stock from WIND, then update to ICS via either OTA or directly on the phone via OTA. Then do what I said above, let us know what happens.
yeah like dark said above me, use 4ext. it makes flashing easier.

Thanks for your help everyone. I'm a little confused about how to proceed though. I downloaded the stock Wind ruu.exe file from the forums, but I'm not sure what to do with it. I'm running Linux, so I can't execute the file. Is there any way to flash it without a Windows machine?
Also, do I need to relock my bootloader and go through the whole s-off procedure again, or can I simply downgrade to GB and upgrade back to ICS again without going through all those steps?

Once you're s-off once, you'll always be s-off unless you s-on again, to use the windows file your best option would be to use WINE. Which I figure you should be know how to use.

Thanks again for your help. I followed your instructions: Downgraded to GB, flashed the Wind ICS OTA, install 4ext recover, ran superwipe and formatted everything except the SD card, and then flashed Energy 6/6. It got past the HTC screen, but got stuck on the Energy boot animation.
Do you have any other suggestions?

I'm trying to get the latest EnergyRom. I was using the GB EnergyRom before and finally made it to the T-Mobile Stock ICS rom using fastboot instructions from here: androidforums.com/rezound-all-things-root/535820-how-easier-way-flash-ph98img-files.html using the this ruu. [bravo.d-h.st/z70?key=1340081175
Right now I don't se any S-On instructions for Energy rom, though I do see one for Android Revolution HD. I need to get CWM re-installed as that was lost. Do I need S-Off to get Energy Rom?
How do I get the latest Energry rom installed?

Just so you know you posted this in the wrong section.
But to help you..
1.Restore to a previous Rom (Hope you did a backup before flashing anything else?)
2.Install Flash Image GUI
3. Flash Boot.
4. Go into Recovery
5. Flash Rom
6. Reboot and you should be good.
Note- Never forget to Wipe

Flash this RUU for the EVO 3D GSM
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1208485
Just choose the RUU that fits your devices (DONT Flash the Sprint ones its for CDMA HTC EVO 3D)
Flash the EU ones , this will get you back to Gingerbread (2.3.3) and from there you can update your phone OTA for ICS. Before flashing ICS Roms, YOU NEED S-OFF ! , S-ON only unlocks the bootloader not the boot partition ! .

So your problem is solved?
and, you tried Installing KingCobra 1.6.
To install 1.6 you HAVE to be S-OFF in order to flash the new firmware.
However, if you want to use KingCobra, download version 1.5, it will work perfectly on an S-ON device!
Hope this helps!

Exactly the same for me. I did this many times before -- This time it bootloops -- seems like something goes wrong with the /boot partition. Could be an error in writing the boot cause even that I have S-OFF i use the smartflash method which worked perfectly for me till now... I think it has something to do with the recovery. Maybe you try the latest TWR - as long as you have s-off you can flash any recovery over fastboot. Hope you get it back rollin' cause I have no USB-Cable though
So I got it --- The issue that's causing this error was 4ext like expected. Just flash CWM recovery(not touch!) (mind the button mapping -- Powerbutton = back, camerabutton = accept) then make a factory reset, flash your rom and then it should(!) work Tell me if that worked for you!

Thats strange. im wondering if flashing a different kernel might help..
But at this point i might not be much help. If nothing else works you should try returning to full stuck & root your device again.. & no you will not lose s-off if you flash a RUU

Hboot 1.5
S-off
Sent from my GT-P3113 using xda app-developers app
I don't want to be giving my friend the wrong information. When his sprint 3d was boot 1.5 I took it and soff it for him downgrading to 1.4. Now recently he upgraded to hboot 1.58 and it says relocked at the top. Of course he still has recovery and still is rooted.
My question is since his phone is soff can't he just still flash whatever with no issues? Does he have to do dev unlock again?
I own a rezound and have had many HTC devices and soff has always been the key to everything for me. Any help would be appreciated
With s-off there's no need to unlock his boot loader again. (For example) If he wants to flash an aosp rom, all he's gotta do is downgrade his hboot via boot loader.
Perfect. Already installed JP bear latest hboot and went to twrp. Making a backup now. That's what I was thinking but I wanted some confirmation. Its been a while since I messed with an Evo 3d
Hmmm. It won't flash paranoid android. Even tried the 1.04 eng hboot. Any ideas? Using twrp recovery. Latest radios and 1.04 eng hboot.

A lot of people have had better luck with 4EXT on the Evo 3D. You can download the Recovery Updater for free from the www.4ext.net website and install the current version of 4EXT Recovery from that app. Then "format all partitions except SD card" in the wipe/format menu of the recovery, and try flashing PA again.

Stay with the ENG 1.04 hboot for now. The GB and AOSP based ROM's won't boot with the latest JBear (1.58.5858) so if you want to use a JBear version 1.50.5050 is better.

Are you doing the "format all partitions except SD card" in 4EXT right before flashing the ROM? Make sure to give it plenty of time to boot since sometimes the first boot can take up to 10 minutes.

Well go with ramjets suggestion and try format all partitions minus sdcard along with full factory data wipe and cache/dalvik wipe and see if it boots up all the way.( it couldn't hurt to do all the wipes two or three times before you flash the rom). Just to make sure everything was wiped all the way.
Oh yeah. Step by step . It just never gets past splash. I looked into the ROM downloaded and saw a boot IMG but it really seems like a boot issue. Doesn't make a lot of sense to me. Soff, everything in right place, correct recovery and no boot. Not complaining, he still has his backup he is running and it restores backup correctly.
His phone was soff and he upgraded firmware to the 1.58 so it said locked in hboot. I just flashed 3 dif bootloader with no issues. Its def soff.
Ok, try flashing a different kernel. Try the Mac kernel that's located in Mazda's aokp jb thread. I believe buttered toast came with pa that your trying to flash. It could also be a bad download as well. You could always redownload the rom as well to see if that works. You never know about these things sometimes.

Oh yeah. Step by step . It just never gets past splash. I looked into the ROM downloaded and saw a boot IMG but it really seems like a boot issue. Doesn't make a lot of sense to me. Soff, everything in right place, correct recovery and no boot. Not complaining, he still has his backup he is running and it restores backup correctly.
His phone was soff and he upgraded firmware to the 1.58 so it said locked in hboot. I just flashed 3 dif bootloader with no issues. Its def soff.

You've tried all the standard stuff to get AOSP ROM's to boot on the Evo 3D. At this point I can only suggest that you flash the 2.89.651.2 SPrint ICS RUU from here, then reflash a custom bootloader and recovery. That will make sure everything is in sync and has cleared up this problem for other users.
You don't need to relock the bootloader (although I think you said it is already relocked) when flashing the RUU if the phone is S-OFF.

Yes, I will try to download ROM again and also grab that kernel.
I soff this phone for him when it was hboot 1.50. Then I reverted to 1.40 via brick method to get it soff. He has ran some form of an hboot/radios update because he was told to do that. Now we are working together and I am trying to fix all his stuff and get him setup correctly. I have an soff rezound and am sure his phone isn't seeing the boot.IMG.
Now today his phone said locked or relocked am not sure. I went ahead an changed his hboot to a recommended 1.04eng hboot. Installed 4ext recovery via the app that was linked. I am downloading gangam style cm10 to test just to see if something will boot. It successfully flashed a sense based ROM and booted fine thru an aroma installer that came with the ROM. In the installer I stated it was soff and had no issues. I will try the ROM and it doesn't boot I will jump back to recovery and flash a kernel and see. Thanks very much for all the help
Well, I have done it all. Not much more I can do. He may try to run the ICS ruu later but I just can't get any cm10 jb based ROM to boot. Y'all have been more than helpful catching me back up to speed on the 3d and while I agree this should be flashing alas it is not booting. I am positive its just not accepting the boot img for what ever reason because it never makes it far enough after reboot from recovery. Just endless quick splash screen reboots.
No problem. I just wanted to add that a lot of users are having weird issues with paranoid android. ( I'm subscribed to the thread) so it could be that your phone doesn't like pa for some reason. ( Not a diss on Lens Flare at All) but he's been having some issues with the rom and is more than likely trying to work on it. Hopefully you can get gangnam style up and running or even aokp jb. If none of these work, I would go with ramjets suggestion and run a ruu and then back to Asop.
Edit: guess you already tried them. Hopefully you get some better luck after you try the ruu method. Good luck.
Iv got hboot 1.4 and s-off

I suggested in another thread that you should try 4EXT recovery and use the "format all partitions except SD card" option before flashing the ROM.
Have you tried that yet?
ramjet73
you need s-off, non-ics bootloader and updated radio. 4ext recovery is good for evo 3d
where do i get the bootloader and radio? i installed 4ext and formatted all partitions and now jb roms just restart at loading screen.
OK, the same exact thing happened to me the other day, even though i had the newest radio and Hboot 1.4, JB roms still wouldn't boot.
I tried everything, but the only thing that fixed it was to run an RUU, then reflash Hboot 1.5 or lower (i am using 1.04 ENG), after that, (using 4EXT recovery) JB roms would boot!
Don't worry, you will remain S-OFF after the RUU.
iv yet to find an RUU that works for my phone
the problem with ruu is my phone is cloned to run on boost. if i ruu that will be undone
just to keep everything straight ill post waht iv done so far.
shooter xc ship s-off rl
hboot 1.40.1100
radio 1.09.00.0706
eMMC-boot
Jun 8 2011, 17:20:22
4ext recovery v1.0.0.5 rc8
i believe i have the latest firmware.
last roms tried were android revolution HD 2.0.1
and slimbean 1.1
revolution will go to htc quietly briliant screen and hang there for a while then reboot.
slimbean reboots quite quickly at the same screen.
i cannot think of anything else other than ruu and start over from scratch. 150 bucks later.
any help or ideas are much appriciated

I guess it comes down to how badly you want to run the JB ROM's. If you know for sure that flashing the RUU will mess up your boost flash then I wouldn't do it, but if you don't know then only you can decide if it's worth risking $50 for a Boost re-flash if it doesn't work.

Can you recommend any good ics roms? i was using d3rp's lights out but some people, myself included, have issues with the phone and messegening having lag.

I mentioned this is in the ROM discussion thread already, but I suggest giving the Negalite BluROM a try, and there are many other good Sense 3.6 ICS ROM's in the development forum.

I tried that one. i couldnt seen nto find the app for messegening tho. iv got a couple. guess ill have to keep digging till i find what i need.

My advice would be to stay on a ROM that seems promising for at least a week and try to get some help in that thread to resolve whatever issues you have rather than bouncing around from thread to thread. Any ROM is going to take a little time to settle in and for you to get more familiar and comfortable with it.
ramjet73
i did like that one, but the lag was a problem it had since hte beginning and seems to be sparatic from different users experiencing it. i dotn knwo if there are multiple versions of hte evo 3d or maybe ther eare just some conditions that are different from soem people that are hard to track down. but that is a specific problem they had over 3 versions.
CCCRRAAAAPPPP...... i think updating the firmware broke my phone. my account cannot be validated.....
well. seems iv already hosed my phone..... can i get the link to those ruu's again and maybe some help figuring out which one is for my evo 3d?
if its already hosed suppose theres no harm in the ruu now.
ok. with ramjet73's guidance i have gotten up and running with a stock rom. i should be unrooted. i am s-off. hboot 1.58. no working recovery
what do i need to do to root and get jb roms working. hopefully not doing whatever it is i did wrong before.
thansk for the help.
Just to give an update, i flashed an ruu and have s-off. i did install teamwin recovery and can run ics roms it appears. however it seems jb roms still cannot boot.
i am stuck and not sure where to go from here.
Did you flash Hboot 1.04, 1.4, and or 1.5? JB roms will only boot using them.

Yes. however it still would not work. i ended up having to ruu the phone back to stock (thanks to ramjet73 for pointing out which version of the many i tried that was the correct one) and redoing the whole proccess. i still had problems, but it is working now (just gotta figure out why i only have 1x data access)
here is a hint for anyone that may be having the same trouble. i do not know if this was the issue, but install 4ext last. it was after a reinstall of 4ext that it started working. i do not know if this is what did it or if i just got lucky. as i read some people jsut have troubles and have to ruu adn do it all over again to get it to work. before doing this, just in case, try re installing 4ext. maybe that is a hint to what people cannot seem to find the problem as it does not happen often. maybe, i dont know. just glad its working.
