So I recently switched over to the Evo 4g LTE and I'm trying to get everything set up to flash ROMs and such.
I unlocked the bootloader, rooted, and installed TWRP 2.3. I tried to flash the latest Viper 4g ROM but it wouldn't go past the boot screen so I figured I must not have something set up correctly.
Still a little iffy on the S-Off, S-On and if that has anything to do with it. I have extensive experience with flashing on Samsung phones so the switch to HTC has me a little lost. Thanks for the help.

After you download the file you need to unzip it somewhere.

So I would do this after I try flashing the ROM?
You can because you already have the rom installed.. It takes about 10 sec to work..

Yea, put it into fastboot, ran the exe. Phone rebooted into another bootloop.
Go back into rocovery and wipe and reflash Rom.

While everyone is having fun with s-off, I'm a sitting duck. I managed to successfully root my 3D but once I rebooted and made it to the handsfree activation window it instantly goes into bootloop. Im not a noob so by me having experience I tried to do a few things to fix it. First I tried cache wiping and it didnt work. Next I tried to back up, wipe phone, then restore and that didnt work as well and after doing that, now I can't get pass the first HTC screen. Anyone, PLEASE shed some light. This is very fustrating.

I was thinking maybe a re flash would fix was was causing the bootloop....Im not sure of the exploit they used but I figured that was worth a shot....kinda like when people were flashing Virus kingdom ROM twice....just a thought
Guess its time to head over to feenode #revolutionary. The Devs are hanging around there.
I think its the stock Rom. I've tried to backup and restore but ever since I wiped my data I can't get past the the splash screen. Im downloading a Rom to flash that I found in the dev section. If that doesn't work I'm going to try the RUU thing. Im made because the only thing I have to work with is a hero, and it downloads **** so slow. I had the fastest internet in the house until this happened.

You'll get it back up and running. If you're downloading the TI-X rom by dc13, you're going to want to hold off on flashing that for now. He said it won't flash yet, and he's working on fixing it. If you're not talking about that one, then nevermind. I would think that running an RUU would fix it, but I'm not quite sure yet if there is anything you need to do before running the RUU, as far as the bootloader goes.

I would guess it'll only be a matter of hours before some stock rooted roms start appearing. I'm not sure if running the RUU will overwrite your hboot. I think I read that it will not, but don't know for sure.

ok, off to bed. got it working.
RUU 1-15 version here:

get the ZIP, not exe. i tried exe and it failed.
-rename file to PC86IMG.zip
-boot into bootloader, ruu will work itself.
boot back into stock rom.
-you will still have S-OFF, but i could not flash custom recovery. HBOOT looks like it reverted. trying to fastboot cwm/twrp recoveries failed.
-re s-off using rev (didnt fail even though i had S-OFF already, prev failed when i tried to rerun rev having S-OFF)
-HBOOT got changed to new version thru rev S-OFF
-was able to flash twrp using fastboot. tried cwm, worked. went back to twrp recovery.
-flashed fixed su zip (to enable root) and was able to boot back into stock rom.
-tested titanium, works.
-tested autokiller, works.
thanks for the help guys.
So... I really like TWRP but with it being closed down I figured eventually I'd have to switch to CWM so I may as well get adjusted to it now.
However, I'm unable to flash CWM on my Evo3D with hboot 1.5 using fastboot or through the bootloader. I can flash TWRP but flashing CWM just puts me in a bootloop... Anyone know how to fix this?
TWRP is closed down?

I'm protesting flashing until CM9 drops for the Evo 3D!!!
well... Not closed down as much as team win has stopped support for it. Eventually I'm sure I'll get another device and then ill be forced to use CWM

There is a specific CWM Recovery you need to use for 1.5 HBOOT, Try flashing this , http://dl.dropbox.com/u/15385692/recovery.img

I never use Rom Manager, I always do everything from the Recovery itself.
It's not a homebrew, It's an official CWM from Revolutionary! Enjoy!
It's the only one I'll use now. Twrp 2.0 never flashed correctly for me. It always locked out my WiFi and 3g.

Based off what I've read... There is no way to flash a Rom from Rom manager. You have to go through recovery.

Best thing would be to download the stock ruu with hboot 1.4 and go from there. thats what I did. rooting was painless,cwm works fine with it..
CWM is easy just gotta make sure you type in the CMD to flash right

Can I flash Roms using Flash Image GUI? Any?
And how?
When do i need to use fastboot?
I don't want to use my pc at all, or the less possible tbh.

You can flash roms using a computer with no issues lol using fastboot boot recovery.img in hboot with ADB.. You have to put a copy of your recovery.img in your adb folder for this method to work not hard at all.
You can use flash GUI to flash kernels and flash the rom in recovery .... You may wanna read up on the guy that made the app he has instructions...
I have used the app in the past not a bad thing to have... Tho I prefer using the computer always a one stop shop for me

Yeah but i travel a lot and don't have time to use my laptop, thanks anyways! Didn't know that!

Just download from the market the Flash GUI app and you can flash any boot.img (kernel) first and then flash the ROM and you should be all set.
Yes, if you travel alot then Flash Image GUI would be for you.
the pg86100 is the htc evo 3d if i am not mistaken and i have one and have hboot 1.5 also, i see you have boot manager listed as one of your apps. you can use this app as well with hboot 1.5 and still flash your heart away just make sure you unlock the bootloader via HTC's method and have root access and youll be good to go
Thanks guys, another question, whats the best recovery for hboot 1.5?
thats is all what you like to use... i personally use the clockworkmod recovery version 4.0.1.4

I found this video tutorial online of a guy rooting hboot 1.50 and at the end he flashes a Rom I believe Synergy 3.0 without using fastboot from the computer. He went into recovery and just flashed like normal. He said S-on doesn't mean anything. Unless you're flashing a kernel. Is he right?

i know with my evo 3d you can flash and rom from the recovery ... you just save the rom in its zip format to your sdcard and when in recovery mode that i use i just select " install zip from sdcard" and guide it to said rom then once selected it will begin an install process... now keep in mind that if your info is not backed up you will lose it... and you can still use the kernel that comes with the rom to flash it is just the same... it should be in the boot.img area of the rom you saved

It's essentially a snapshot of your current phone. In case that new kernel or rom put you in a bootloop or you wanna revert back.

you definitely do not need that app if youre flashing roms only...just keep a back up in case the rom is no good then you have the original to go back to

What should I proceed to next? Im assuming I would need to install a recovery now? (clockwork, etc. If so, do you know of any guides, not sure if I would need to do something different because I've used moonshine instead of another method) I would just like to make sure that I am doing the correct thing to avoid the risk of bricking/damaging the phone, as the I've only done this once before with my thunderbolt a while back.

I would flash a custom splash screen and an aosp based rom (I like PAC, personally). But to do the splash screen I think you need the ENG hboot.
