So I was trying to root/rom flash my wife's X+ to the Viper rom. I unlocked the bootloader from HTC, downloaded the all-in-one app, but it only had CWM on it, so I flashed CWM, pushed SU and installed SU with CWM, everything was fine. \
Loaded Viper rom on to internal memory, rebooted into CWM, installed Viper rom with full wipe. Phone rebooted, got Viper start up screen, booted to Viper lock screen, but when I unlock it, it shows a white screen with HTC on it, and wont let me get into anything. If I hold the home button, it says set up stopped responding, wait or close. I then reboot and all I get is a black screen with the battery, wrong time, and no signal at the top and then it resets it's self after about 2-3 mins. I cant get into the memory card or debugging before it reboots. What can I do to get the phone back functioning?
1. What method did you use to try to root? see above
2. Do have twrp or cwm installed? If so can you boot to recovery? CWM, yes
3. Can you boot to bootloader? Yes
4. What software version is phone on? 4.1.1
4. Does you pc recognize the phone when plugged in?
5. Does the phone boot at all? Yes
6. Can still get to fastboot? Yes
Do you flash boot.img?

If you've updated the phone to the new firmware ( AT&T/Telus) the only roms you can flash are the one with new base.

I assume you wiped data if you got the setup screen?
As @garmig said, if you updated the firmware and are on the latest HBOOT, you won't be able to flash ViperXL+ until I update it to the latest build. Did you take the OTA update?

yes, i wipped all data, cache, etc.
if that was the update that came out about a week or so ago, then yes i remember her saying something about an update from ATT.. How can I get another rom on there to flash if i cant get into ADB and debugging mode? ive tried the side load in CWM but i cant get it to connect, and the phone just sits there waiting.
I've always flashed galaxys and such, so im use to being able to remove the memory card and put what ever i needed on with a card reader. I just got my HTC One and now she wanted her OneX+ flashed for more options. Guess I didnt read close enough about the update.. and of course she is mad because she doesnt have a working phone at the moment, lol, GO ME!!!

You can use the RUU from here keeping in mind that it will wipe your phones internal memory COMPLETELY!
or you could flash this rooted and deodexed version from here
Both are the new build 1.19.502.1

First thing's first, what hboot version are you on? you can see that in the booloader screen. Mine is 1.32.0000 which is the previous version.
Anyways, ADB works in TWRP. I'm running 2.4.4.0 and I noticed it can take up to 30 seconds for it to start. You may want to start with that version: http://techerrata.com/browse/twrp2/evitareul
Once in TWRP, you can either use "adb push" or "adb sideload":
ADB Push:
Run "adb devices" until your serial # shows up
run "adb push c:\somefolder\rom.zip /sdcard/" to push the rom zip to your phone's sdcard. It can take up to 10 mins to transfer it this way. You can use one of these: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2235248
ADB Sideload:
While in TWRP, select Advanced then ADB Sideload
Type "adb sideload c:\somefolder\rom.zip"
Once flashed, reboot to bootloader and flash the boot.img then reboot your phone.
His wife is prob pissed lol I know mone would be

so the first one i see is an .exe, so does that mean that is all i would need to wipe it? and the second one, how would i flash it, using which utility?

Yes, the first is an .exe and can be run from Windows. However, you may need to flash stock recovery( which can be found here ) first.
The second file can be flashed like any other rom as well as the boot.img

you have no idea..... lol kinda glad im at work so i dont have to hear about it, but kinda wish i was home so i could fix it faster, lol
i should be home in about 3 or 4 hours though, and i will try a few things and let you guys know the status. I appreciate all the help so far, hope i can get it back up and running asap!
before going back to stock, i would flash a different rom mate. latest viper as a known issue where it leaves you stuck at that very point I'm sure while its stuck on the htc screen you should be able to connect it to your pc and drag a new rom across, if not flash TWRP 2.4.4.0 and "sideload" or "push" your rom. Trust me theres no need to go back to stock.

If you install the international 1.0.7 from a full wipe you get stuck at that very point.
I'll follow up with m0n then see if he knows anything about it.

I did that but when i choose recovery it boots to the htc logo and then keeps rebooting ...
no one knows what i can do ? :/ is there a way to reset the phone without recovery ?
You pulled the battery? Cause if you don't and fastboot is on.its would do that.
sent from my badass EVO 3D running Kaos Hybrid 4.20 using tapatalk
yes i did it just as you said ...
If you still can't get into recovery or the phone continuously bootloops after the battery pull, just run the latest RUU.
What is a RUU and how do i run it ? Do you have a link ? Thanks for the replies.
Have you taken the latest OTA, or have you ran revolutionary on your phone?
yes i have revolutionary on the phone
Go here, download the .exe with the 1.13.651.7, and run it as admin.
thanks, Is it a problem if i'm not on sprint? cause i'm in france and got the gsm version.
Yes, that would be a problem...try this thread and see if your version is listed.
i guess i'll try the "europe" one... if i dont risk to brick my phone by doing so ...
Tried and didn't work wasn't the good one... I hope i will find the good one soon i'll bookmark your link hoping that my version will be upped...
Thank you for your help.
Did you solve the problem?
Hi I just have the same problems like you ... I am in France, and after installing a new kernel, the phone is an a restarting loop.
I can go to the recovery mode (revolutionary) , I have tried to install different kernel and different ROM, but it alwas failed...
Thanks
MikRunny problems
I have a similar problem.
I tried installing MikRunny, (I flashed the boot.img multiple times, and did a full wipe, multiple times), but I keep getting a bootloop.
I fastbooted the boot.img, and I replaced the boot.img in the kernel map in MikRunny.zip.
My phone is (according to recovery) S-OFF, Revolutionary, 1.49 HBOOT, GSM.
That was the problem, the boot.img was not for GSM, but for CDMA.
But yet, I replaced it, and it still doesn't work...

Search Google, Rootzwiki, and XDA for an SD bootable CWM or TWRP recovery image for the phone. Use all terms for the Evo 3D (shooter, 3vo, E3D, and even the HTC model number, which is PG86100). Write it to a microSD with dd in Linux or Win32DiskImager in Windows. After it's done writing, just drop your zips onto the card as you normally would and place it back into the phone. Proceed to recovery as you normally would. Wipe system, data, cache, dalvik cache, and battery stats. Now flash your ROM zip and follow it with your GAPPS zip. Reboot system and pray for the best. If you need any more assistance or help, feel free to PM me. Hope this helps, I know how bricking a phone feels. Just remember that there's no such thing as a permanent brick, unless you hit it with a real brick .

Hey i ran into this problem yesterday flashing this Kernel...i used the flash gui app...what happened was it booted after it flashed....and it stuck in bootloop...i tried reflashing it the regular way just through cwm and it wasnt doing anything...so i did a google search on how to flash kernels on hboot 1.5 this is what i got...http://youtu.be/HclYpo0ZR3s that youtube video shows how to flash the kernel....THE WAY I KNEW HOW TO....but he says at the end there is a backup way to flash kernels..he says its longer but it also works just as good he says that you fastboot flash it via command prompt...so this gave me an idea...he says open up command prompt and prompt it to the folder you have used to unlock the device...unzip the boot.img file from the kernel your using in command prompt youd type fastboot flash boot boot.img....THIS NEXT PART I THOUGHT OF MYSELF. i removed the boot.img from the rom i was using and flashed that first AND FLASHED THE EXACT ROM I REMOVED THE BOOT.IMG FROM TO GET IT ROOTED. Not only did i solve my original kenel problem where my radios were jacked up BUT, i also got this kernel to work, and my synergy rom to work with the kernel, everything works and i was unbricked...I HOPE ANYBODY WHO RUNS INTO THIS PROBLEM DOES THIS AND THEY ARE OK.
Hello,
I've been all over google and this site for the last two days trying to find a way to get my Evo 3d work! I tried searching the forum and unfortunately i kept getting server errors So i figured I would make a new thread in the hopes of figuring this out!
What happened:
I went through the rooting process, and I went to flash a ROM on to the phone and it would not load pass the HTC screen. I had a ROM on there of the stock version of the Sprint Evo 3d, unfortunately it wasn't the proper version and it did not allow 4G and such. So i tried to place another ROM on to the SD Card and flash it over, and for some dumb reason, I deleted the version of the Stock Rom that atleast enabled me to get the phone to turn all the way on. All I'm able now is to boot up to recovery, but I can't figure out what ROM to download to place on the phone to get me back to square one!!!
Help please!!

Hi jerseybizzle, I can certainly try to help you but you have to help me first.
1. Are you doing a factory reset and wiping dalvik cache before flashing?
2. What hboot version do you have?
3. Is your phone s-on or s-off?
4. Which rom did you try to flash that wouldn't boot?

If it was an ics Rom and you are having bootloops, it is most likely because you are s-on. I recommend getting s-off. The wire trick is easy to do, but you need to be careful.

Did you flash the rom through fastboot? If you just booted into your recovery and attempted to flash the ICS version of that rom coming from GB it won't work since you still have S-ON and that doesn't let you flash certain things like kernels. You can still flash roms but you have to take a couple extra steps or achieve S-OFF.
To get your phone working again...
If you were just coming from a stock rooted rom before attempting to flash a new rom, simply download a stock rooted rom from the dev section, put it on your SD card, boot into recovery, wipe and reflash. Your phone should then boot up again.

I'm guessing it was the ics version of vipermod, and since you're s-on your boot image didn't flash. So you're trying to boot an ics rom with a gingerbread kernel.
If you want to use an ics rom, you have a few choices. My favorite... Put a recovery image in the folder on your computer that has fastboot in it. Put the phone in fastboot mode and type in the command window, fastboot boot recovery.img, make sure that you name the recovery image on your comp. to "recovery.img". It should boot to recovery and you can flash away.
Something that's easier is to use 4ext recovery smart flash. I'm sure it works but I've never used it.
If you want to get back to your stock rom unrooted rom you could run an ruu.
Also, take coals advice and s-off that phone, you won't have nearly as many issues once you s-off, and you can use one of the splash screens in my Sig

Here's an idea, get flash image GUI, its free here at xda, google it. Then use it to flash the kernel from the stock rom that you have running and reboot. This should fix your WiFi. Let me know if I'm not being clear enough.

So, it sounds like wifi turns on just fine, you just get the error when attempting to connect to a network?
Have you tried resetting your router and rebooting your phone? Maybe remove that network from your saved preferences and resign in.

If the app that was suggested to didn't do the trick, hit the stickies in the dev section on how to flash a rom with hboot 1.5 S-ON. I recommend the fastboot method, however, if you're so inclined, you can also go the route of getting S-OFF.
Most likely, some problems occurred when you tried to flash that ROM before and broke your wifi. So, if I were you, I'd grab a ROM (that viper ics should be fine if you still got it) and flash it through fastboot using a guide in the dev section. Be sure to read and understand the guide before attempting it.
The guide would be something like this...
1. Install the appropriate drivers and place a recovery on your PC.
2. Boot into your boot loader, select fast boot, and connect your device to your PC via USB.
3. Open a command prompt on your computer, switch to the directory containing drivers/recovery image
4. Type fastboot boot thenameofyourrecovery.img
5. Install the rom as you otherwise normally would using your phone, wiping data, clearing caches, installing zip.
NOTE: The above is not a guide, just an illustration of the guide you're looking for in the dev section.
Flashing a rom by this method allows you to flash roms with non stock kernels, so you can pretty much flash any rom made for your phone. This is the method I have used since day 1 and have never experienced any problems. You may also want to look into getting S-OFF, but I can't say much about that because I haven't done it myself (being content flashing through fastboot).
Hope this helps.

It sounds like you still have kernel issues, and until you figure out how to flash a kernel or boot image, you'll always have these types of issues, bootloop, broken WiFi/camera. I know that the instructions that flonker gave you are intimidating but after you've done it once you'll see how simple it is.
One limitation of HTC dev unlocking is that you can't write to the boot partition from recovery, the kernel resides in the boot partition. You can, however, write to boot from within the android system. That's why flash image GUI is so handy for people with s-on and HTC dev unlocked. Just open the app, find the rom you'd like to flash and select it, the GUI will extract the kernel from the rom zip and flash it. Then you just boot into recovery and flash the same rom that you selected with the GUI. It'll flash everything but the boot image, but that's ok because you already flashed the kernel with flash image GUI. Make sure you do a factory reset and wipe the dalvik cache.
When I was s-on I always chose fastbooting to recovery, when you do that it actually loads the recovery onto the boot partition and gives you permission to write to boot, so its like flashing should be. Just wipe, flash, enjoy.
Hope this helps.

I have been flashing roms and kernels and such for awhile on several different phones and literally almost everything you said makes no sense and that goes for the other guy 2 posts above yours. WTF is flash image GUI? Is that an app, you never even say.
The other guy is telling him to flash a rom but describes to him how to flash a recovery image to his phone...have you guys ever done this before or are you just making stuff up as you go?

Yes I do, I was looking for information and I read the entire thread. Just because they posted it a year ago doesn't make the info any less wrong.
I went to OTA update MeanRom from 3.1 to 3.2 and after the rom install and reboot my phone kept rebooting, I waited for about 45 minutes just make sure it wasnt going to take.
I then used fastboot to install my last recovery however, the recovery install froze at installing /system for over an hour. I had no choice but to try and reboot as none of the buttons worked. I am now stuck at the HTC screen and can not get into fastboot or phone.
I've tried searching for a solution for a day and still have had no luck. Cant run RUU as it has a USB error which I expected as the phone never boots.
Any help is greatly appreciated.
I am/was on latest radio/firmware/s-off.
Thanks for looking!

I'm confused...You were flashing a recovery from fastboot? Or were you doing a nandroid restore? You tried holding volume down + power to get into the bootloader right?

Did you do the restore from recovery (TWRP) or did you use fastboot? I ask because fastboot isn't typically used to restore from a nandroid backup, so just trying to understand your description. Do you have adb on your pc?

Gotcha...then this is very strange. Once you have adb installed, try plugging the phone into your pc, power it on and when it's at the HTC screen try the "adb reboot recovery" command and see if that gets you into TWRP. I've never tried using adb from that screen so not sure if the phone is capable of communicating at that point, but worth a shot...

That's what I was afraid of...the only other thing I can think of is to maybe try flashing a new boot image, but you may have the same problem you had with adb in not being able to communicate with the phone. What you would need to do is pull the boot.img file out of the MeanROM zip, put it somewhere on your PC, then with your phone plugged in open the command prompt and type:
Code:
fastboot flash boot <path_to_boot_img>boot.img
It's basically the same process as installing a new kernel on the new hboot version, which is outlined here:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1794867
Typically you have to be in the bootloader for this, but it's worth a try from the HTC screen. I've been successful with the fastboot command when adb does not see the device, so may work in this case as well. If not, then I'm out of ideas. Since you can't get to the bootloader, you should be able to take it into sprint or best buy without them knowing you tampered with it. Just tell them you took the latest OTA and the battery died during the installation or something. Hopefully they will exchange it, but you run the risk of getting one with the new hboot and losing S-OFF Better than no phone at all though, I suppose...
Not too sure if u have a recovery installed but regardless you should be able to simulate a battery pull by holding power button for 10 seconds or until the captive button lights flash 12 times I think. When the phone powers down press and hold volume down only and you should boot into boot loader. From here you should have a better chance of using adb or fastboot or recovery if you have twrp installed. If you can get to boot loader you have options especially since your s-off.
Good luck man

Ok I was able to get into bootloader and tried to flash MeanRom after wiping cache/dalvik/factory reset/system three times each with a new download of MeanRom and it said it flashed successfully. I rebooted and it keeps getting almost to setup then reboots. Should I try an RUU again? If so what version should I use?
Bootloader says:
Jewel PVT SHIP S-OFF RL

That's good you can get into the bootloader, as previous poster said, you have a lot more options. I would save RUU as a last resort. See if you can flash a different ROM, like viper 4g or clean ROM. Or maybe an older version of mean ROM.
Sent from my EVO LTE
That's odd that after a full wipe mean ROM won't boot. Wasn't there issues with mean ROM if your recovery wasn't up to date. I would do a full wipe and try to restore a nandroid. Someone with more knowledge than me can defo help you . You can access bootloder, you have a recovery installed so you should be fine.

Ok upgraded to the latest TWRP and tried MeanROM again. No go so now I will try CM10 to see if that works
Great news CM10 works and so does an old version of MeanROM guess I just cant run version 3.2 or 3.3. Thanks again for all of the help everyone! This place is the best.

I am not sure if that is all it is. I tried to install 3.3 and then flashed the stock kernel over it and still couldn't boot properly. Its ok it forced me to try CM10.
im having the issue where I cant boot up because my phone wiped when I switched from CWM to TWRP. I am on windows and trying to sideload but every time I try to it comes back "failed to write data 'protocol fault (not status)'. What is this and why? I am extremely frustrated sitting on a brand new hox+ that wont boot.
The RUU wont run because it doesnt see the phone. If going that route, what state does my phone need to be in? (Keeping in mind it wont boot).
How can I get this fixed using fastboot or TWRP?

What carrier? How did it wipe when switching? What did you hit? Switching recoveries does not touch internal storage. Reboot your system and put the phone in fastboot to run the RUU (I think it might just be normal hboot). Make sure you have the LATEST version of HTC sync manager installed

I unlocked, flashed cwm, flashed supersu, tried to flash team venom rom, it said i had to have TWRP so I flashed twrp and when I tried to reboot, it froze at boot screen so i booted to recovery and it said there was no OS. So when I went to try to flash one, there was nothing there. and now here I sit lol
If you hold the power button your device will shut down. Then you can boot into bootloader and then run ruu. Worked for me

I'm not necessarily new to rooting I've been doing it for a year or so on my old phone. But after upgrading I decided not to root for a while. Now I think I'm ready to root and get a custom rom on. I'm not used to the whole unlocking bootloader and then a different way of rooting from my old phone. Any sort of guide with links would be greatly appreciated!

just thought i'd add something
you need s-off because verizon or htc stopped allowing the dna to unlock its bootloader from their htcdev site
once s-off you can flash any rom, kernel or recovery
you do not need to unlock your bootloader
the link i found was dead so here is cwm touch recovery that i use http://s000.tinyupload.com/index.php?file_id=17561816589933340240
I think every rom available is already rooted so thats taken care of
i just read some of the guides that are up and they are outdated, so ask anythting you need here and ill help
OK sorry about that I meant s-off. So I do moonshine flash cwm and then do I have to install super user?
Sent from my HTC6435LVW using xda app-developers app
nope all the roms are pre rooted with SU or superSU
but in case im wrong and you find a rom without root you can flash SU or superSU from recovery
hit "thanks" plx
simplified steps are:
1. s-off
2. flash recovery through adb
3. put the rom or rom and kernel you want on the phone and flash it in the recovery
thats it. its a bit simpler than most phones i think, especially samsungs as i just found out.
Step 1. S-off via Moonshine.
Step 2. Flash a recovery. I think the absolute easiest way is using this toolkit. This toolkit couldn't get any easier to use.
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2219175
Step 3. Flash whatever ROM you choose. I personally love ViperDNA.
Does moonshining wipe your data?
Sent from my HTC6435LVW using xda app-developers app
Nope... but sometimes the moonshine process will have problems that are typically resolved by doing a factory wipe, in order to sucessfully do the process.
OK now I'm coming from a Samsung device so it was a lot harder than this. My question is if I have to wipe data before flashing a rom or a recovery? I would also like to know what the adb is.

once you have the recovery installed you can choose "factory reset/wipe data" from the cwm menu along with wipe cache, also dalvik cache in the advanced menu in cwm, i do this before i flash any rom
ADB is how you flash a recovery and some kernels
but you need this driver installed http://www.htc.com/www/software/htc-sync-manager/?section=Requirement
you also need that driver installed for moonshine to work but after you install it you need to remove the htc sync manager part of it
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?p=42407269
here is a small adb and fastboot setup
once installed you can put the cwm recovery in the same folder as adb open a cmd window and from the directory that has adb and the cwm you type
"adb reboot bootloader" no quotes
then
"fastboot flash boot clockwork-touch,img"
now you have recovery
I realize these instructions assume some levels of knowledge so if you need more details ask
I have done all you said and now have a rooted dna! the only problem is every time I select reboot from the cwm it just reboots to the recovery and not the actual phone? Any Idea of whats going on here?
ah it sounds like you wiped your rom before you transferred a new one to your phone
did you do a backup of your stock rom?
this recovery isnt perfect i dont think you can mount the sd card in it to transfer files
if you have no backup and no rom package on your phone and you wiped your stock installed rom then ive actually never come into this situation
im sure it can be resolved easily, let me test some stuff on my phone ill get back to you in a bit.
in the meantime does anyone else have any suggestion for this?
maybe team win recovery can mount sd?

It seems as if I can sideload from cwm as well. And how could I install the twrp recovery if I cant boot into the desktop
I would like to either install a sense 5 rom like you suggested or cyanogen mod. Im not so sure how to flash the twrp recovery if im only in the cwm recovery.
you can hold power and vol down, once it reboots after about 10 sec you let go of power and keep holding vol down till you see the bootloader screen, you can flash the recovery using adb like you did to get cwm on
ok never mind I figured out how to get the twrp flashed. now I will try to sideload
I would like to skype but I didnt build my pc with a camcorder. I can still do sound though, tell me if your okay with that. Ok now when I try to sideload it tells me that it cant find the device? not sure what that is.
i was just going to skype for chatting with text so its not like post and wait and refresh, takes forever
in the recovery there is a setting you activate to sideload you are using that right?
