I bought an evo 3d from a guy today off craiglist and he gave it to me with MIUI loaded onto it. So I figured no problem I will just restore to factory and do what I want to do rooting wise from there. I did a factory restore but it is still running MIUI and I don't know how to get it uninstalled and back to factory. It is running HBOOT 1.50 so I tried to flash a new rom via fastboot-->recovery even though I know that wont leave the rom completely working right but I was just trying to get rid of this MIUI rom. It said it flashed correctly but nothing changed on reboot it is still running MIUI. He gave it to me with the HBOOT unlocked already. Is there anyone that can help me getting a different rom, preferrably one as close to sense as possible running on this thing? I never ran into problems like this with my EVO 4g. Thanks to all!

If already unlocked, using fastboot to get into recovery and flashing from there should have worked.
I would fastboot oem lock the device. Then running an ruu to get to stock. Wipe the entire sd card. Then follow htc evo hacks guide to root/unlock. Hboot 1.5.
That will unlock it again and give you your recovery. (I would probably use twrp instead of cwm if I were you).
Once done with that go ahead and flash su and make your nand backup. Should be good to go after that.

If you relock the device, run the RUU first, then fastboot oem lock. You should try the superwipe tool located in the development thread under InfectedROM Eternity, Then try flashing a ROM. There are a few ROMs that are pretty stock, including a basic sense ROM with very few alterations. Head over to development and check them out.

yeah I did a factory reset by going through menu-->settings-->about phone-->factory reset and tried factory resetting through recovery mode but as soon as it boots it looks like it has been reset. Unfortunately after I do the touch android character to continue options (sign into google, etc) it just goes straight into miui rather than how a factory evo 3d should look which is running gingerbread. Its so frustrating.

Doing a factory reset is not the same as wiping.
You need to do a full wipe from recovery. Boot into the bootloader by hooking your phone up to the pc, navigate to your adb and fastboot folder and type:
Code:
adb reboot bootloader
Then type:
Code:
fastboot boot recovery.img
Once in recovery flash the superwipe.zip I mentioned before, then flash a ROM.
Check out this thread for information on how to get fastboot and adb, where to put them, and everything else you need to know about flashing with 1.5.
Then, before you do anything with your phone, look here for the superwipe.zip

thanks. im still having a problem cause the phone is running TWRP recovery and the bootloader is unlocked but he wiped the SD card so all the files that should be on it after the unlock and flash of the recovery are gone. Im having a huge problem trying to get this MIUI off the phone. I just want to get it back to running a stock rom so I can activate it on my line and I am not too good with this whole unrooting stuff. Is there a simple way to do it? I tried going through fastboot--recovery then flashing the superwipe but it just ended up causing the phone to be stuck on the white screen on reboot with the green HTC.

After you wipe the hone you need to flash a ROM. When you wipe the phone it is completely blank.
Are you just doing a factory reset and rebooting? If so, that won't get you back to an HTC ROM. You need to wipe and then flash a new ROM. That will get you off of miui.
So you flashed the super wipe and then didn't flash a ROM? You have no OS loaded on your phone. Download a ROM, put it on your sd card, and flash it. Make sure it's a sense ROM since you'll need to be on a sense ROM to activate it. No need to unroot.

No I used superwipe and then flashed clean rom 2.9.5 but it got stuck on the white screen on the reboot.
Do I have to use adb to run fastboot and then go into recovery or can I turn the phone off, boot into fastboot by holding power, vol down and going into recovery?

Since you're on hboot 1.5, you either need to flash using joeykrim's flash image gui app, or you need to put your phone in Gaynor, plug into the computer, and from the command prompt on your computer boot your recovery image. It's something like fastboot boot recovery.img. You will need to search for the exact command. Once you boot into recovery using that method you will be fine, just use recovery like normal. If you don't use one of those two methods you won't be able to flash the boot.img, so the phone won't boot. Good luck.

QBKing77 has a youtube video of how to unbrick/return to stock. Watch that it will literally walk you through.
All you need to do is download the sbf files and flash them through rsd, it relocks the bootloader and returns to stock

You can do either, a SBF will restore you back to stock rom locked bootloader and stock recovery, BUT it wipes your phone completly.. Flashing just the relock bootloader file wont wipe all the data from your phone.

You cannot have clockwork recovery or custom kernels with bootloader relock. So no 4G with any CM ROM. If you need 4G, your only options are stock, deblured stock and locked ROMs. Nothing else will give you 4G.
Correct me if im wrong but cant you just ##786# in dialer and hit reset to default and it reformats ur phone? Ive done it before nd it returned me to stock, either that number or a different dialer menu

Won't work. ##786# is no different than doing a factory wipe in recovery. It doesn't touch the bootloader or kernel and it's the changes to the bootloader that breaks 4G.

I just sbf, but it didn't totally erase my phone. I still have all the apps that I had on the phone when I was unlocked and rooted. I tried to reroot the phone, but got an error. I thought when you sbf, it put you totally back to stock, completely erased?
I didn't do a factory reset before I SBF, if I just factory reset now will that work, or will I have to redo the SBF after I factory reset?

Just installed Adrenaline 2.0 ROM (http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1787428&highlight=stuck), following directions to flash in recovery.
I didnt clearly see it stated that the rom did or didnt require a wipe, so to be safe i wiped anyway and did a factory reset just to be sure.
After flashing in recovery, i flashed the S-ON Kernel from post 3, and follow directions to install in hboot.
I can still get into recovery, however now when booting phone sits at the HTC Quietly Rooted screen.
Attempted restoring NAND backup, but phone hangs at the original ICS OTA boot screen "Quietly Brilliant"
Any help is greatly appreciated!
should i just give up and flash a different rom?
Im looking for something thats senseless, running ICS and has good battery life. Any recommendations?
What you are running into are kernel issues. I suggest you S-OFF and you can flash any rom and nand will work for the kernel.

Sometimes that issue is caused by not having cleared cache and dalvik cache between ROM versions, but you did that with a full wipe. I am S-On too and here is my procedure for flashing a new ROM, hope it helps. Just replace RAGE with Adrenaline or your rom name.
1) Make Nandroid Backup / Backup System and User Apps in Titanium Backup
2) Full Wipe in Amon Ra
3) Flash Latest Version of RAGE in Amon Ra
4) Flash boot.img extracted from RAGE zip
5) Reboot
6) Once verifying everything booted OK, go back to amon ra and flash Neo's latest inverted gapps package
7) Reinstall Titanium Backup, restore User Apps but not system apps.
8) in TiBu, restore system data such as dialer storage on a per-app basis.

Did you fastboot flash the boot.img? I believe I had the same issue and that's what I did. But I'm not sure. Maybe someone else can chime in.
Running ICS rooted S on
flashed "Official jb ruu 3.15.651.16 Odex. zip" using TWRP it said it was successful. Went back to reboot system. The phone got to the htc quietly brilliant screen, then went black. I got a few white bars to pop up on the top of the black screen then nothing.
I then went in and flashed "boot img flasher v1.2 jb.zip" it failed until I cleared the D-cache, then it passed. Back to the reboot screen. reboot system and it did the same thing.
I then recovered ICS and rebooted and the phone is back to the old system
What am I missing?
Would it be easier to take the OTA version and then root to S off?
I've never bothered with RUU's but if I'm not mistaken you have to re-lock your bootloader and run the RUU through the bootloader, not recovery.
With some of the threads popping up about people having issues with the new JB RUU, you might be better off finding a rooted JB ROM, like MeanBean, and run that, instead. You'd be better off getting S-off, then upgrading.

If you're s-on, retry flashing...(wipe everything and start over)..you're gonna have to flash jb Roms twice (as long as they are the zip format ones to my knowledge)...s-on is causing the kernel to take 2 flashes to install....first flash will install the kernel and then after that is successful, reflash without wiping anything and the Rom should boot....its a known procedure/hurdle for s-on users...hope that explains the bootloop. Let me know if it works...

This is true with MeanBean due to how the kernel installs. You have to basically flash the ROM twice when you're S-on. Some ROM's have a S-on kernel installer, while others don't.
I still say get S-off, upgrade your firmware and install a rooted JB ROM.

Thank you both, I'll give that a try and see what happens. I wished I could have found that info earlier Been reading and messing with this phone for Hours.
Umm boot img flasher is a windows program that you run on a windows pc. You have to extract all the files out of the zip. NOT flash it on your phone. What hboot do you currently have?
Nope still not there. I tired flashing the rom 5 times and although I got to the second HTC quietly Brilliant screen, it still just goes black. I think I'll look into the dirty racun or lazy panda since I'm still at 1.12 h boot.

Did you do a clean install wiping cache/del cache/system/ factory reset then flash the rom?
What version of twrp are you using? v2.3.3.0 is the latest version
Btw RUU's are .exe files not .zip files AFAIK
Since you're on Hboot 1.12, flashing the kernel separately isn't an issue like it is with the newer Hboots. That being said, it sounds like your issue lies elsewhere. Make sure you've got a good download (verify MD5 checksum) and make sure you wipe properly. For me, I'd wipe cache and Dalvik, factory reset and wipe system (this will wipe your current ROM from your phone), then flash the new ROM. Once you've flashed the new ROM, don't wipe anything in recovery, just go ahead and reboot. I'd definitely look at going S-off, as already stated.
So, decided to run lagfix earlier on my phone (usually not an issue). After it completed, it rebooted a few seconds later. No biggie I thought... However, now it keeps rebooting at the splash screen (before the boot animation).
I'm able to get into Bootloader and Recovery still.
I tried clearing my cache/dalvik, but when I clear my dalvik cache, it simply reboots and I have no idea why. Did lagfix mess up my partitions somehow?
I tried just reinstalling the kernel, but it still just reboots at splash.
Anybody have any ideas as to what I could try? ADB and Fastboot still recognize my device, so I don't think I've bricked it..
Current setup in sig. Running Amon-Ra 3.15. Thanks in advance, I appreciate it!
Edit: also reboots from recovery when I try to do a factory reset from recovery. I'm guessing my cache partition got messed up somehow?
Have you tried to RUU? If you cannot get recovery working, that may be your only option.
Before an RUU, try fastboot flashing a recovery image. TWRP or CWM.

Sorry, may not have been clear in my OP.
I am able to get into both bootloader and recovery.
No, I haven't tried to RUU (not exactly sure which one to download, either. Been out of the loop for that stuff for a while).
You said you get reboot if factory reset from recovery. Sounds like something messed up that partition. Fastboot flash a new recovery IMG to see if that fixes that issue, then you could try factory reset again and it may work.
As for RUU, there is no RUU out yet for the recent OTA. So you would need to use the previous RUU OTA so you can update to recent OTA. There is a thread explaining the OTA RUU somewhere in this forum.
Note: I only had this Rezound for a little under 2 Mos but have had HTC devices before, and going off that prior knowledge. most "unofficial" or "leaked" RUU will not update, from what I remember.

Nott sure if its an issue with the recovery or not.
Looks like it reboots out of Recovery if I try to manually wipe /data or dalvik (only ones I've tried so far).
Doesn't hurt to try the recovery option before RUU.
I do not know if Rezound RUU repartitions the memory, but my other HTC devices did when RUU. So if it is partition error, RUU is your best bet.
Sent from my Infected Rezound using xda app-developers app
Ok! Update that looks promising.
I no longer get reboots when wiping /data or dalvik. What I did to fix this was in Amon Ra recovery, it has an option to format /system, /data, and /cache to EXT4. They were already EXT4, but this menu also has an option to format to EXT3. I formatted all the partitions to EXT3, and then upgraded them all back to EXT4 right away. I went into the wipe menu, and was able to perform a factory reset as well as manually wipe all partitions I needed to!
Going to try restoring my nandroid backup now to see if it works or not.
Edit: Restore success! Had to go through setup again, but all my apps are still there. Just all my settings / data for apps got reset which is unfortunate, but not a huge deal. I have a backup from a couple weeks ago, which should be good enough.
