Boot Loop on all roms Virgin Mobile H-boot 1.58 - HTC EVO 3D

Hello,
I am stuck in a constant boot loop with every rom I flash. I am able to get into the stock restore menu (volume down + power) and from there boot into TWRP 1.1.1. Flashing JmzStock_VM_Shooter_Odex doesn't work as well as any custom roms. Also, RUU doesnt work either, it gets stuck on the HTC logo (silver with blackground) but the RUU fails. It just says unknown error.
It is Unlocked (or at least thats what it says in pink in ShooterXC) and is says S-ON.
Any help would be so lovely!!

You won't be able to run the ruu unless you get s off.
Are you wiping system and boot before you flash?
You may want to try flashing a boot img through fastboot

Flashing the boot.img from your currently installed ROM fixes 90% of bootloops. It is definitely the way to fix.

Is there a different way to get S-Off without booting into the OS? I've only seen the wire trick work when they have USB debugging on.

How would I flash it, through recovery and "install" it or using fastboot?

Please Help, Evo 3D won't boot pass the htc logo

So I tried flashing MeanRom the ics version onto the Evo 3d, and it flashed it. But every time it booted into the lock screen it rebooted itself. So I tried going back to the back up I made. But did not work, tried flashing a different rom but did not work also. It will go into recovery which was twrp but switched it to Ext4. So whatever I try it will just go into the HTC logo and get stuck there. I am at a loss, Please Help.
I will keep trying, but I'm running out of ideas
it does have s-on
hboot 1.50.0000
u r s-on so u need to flash the boot.img by the fastboot

I had this exact same issue after trying to flash Myn's ICS ROM with Touch Recovery on 1.5 s-on..How I was finally able to fix it was to delete the 4 ext folder off my SD card. Then I booted into fastboot and pushed TWRP recovery back onto my phone and flashed a gingerbread rom. If you need help pushing the recovery via fastboot, this thread is the answer. Be sure to give JTNiggle some thanks.

Doesn't EXT4 Touch Recovery take care of that for you? That was my impression. Off topic, I know..
evo rebooting
yes 4ext recovery takes care of that and you guys should be using it and make sure you have smart flash enable
I did try flashing a gingerbread rom with twrp but didn't work, which is why I flashed ext4

Well I used the dumlock method, which should have helped me flash the rom without manually going into my computer to flash via cmd right?

Happens to me too!
To flash a new ROM, go to your computer, Command Prompt , type in the direction of your recovery. ex= cd\evo3dTWRP, then type in "fastboot boot recovery.img (or whatever the name of your recovery img is), press enter and your phone should boot into Recovery. Wipe all data, then flash ROM.
BTW: Do you have Smartflash Enabled in 4EXT,?
Well bootloader is working and the recovery is too, I used twrp but noticed it wasn't working so I flashed 4ext. But for some reason it won't boot up roms (of any kind) or even restore my backup. The recoveries will restore or flash the rom. But once I reboot the phone it will just get stuck on the HTC logo. Yeah smartflash is and was enabled.

THANK YOU
YEEEEEES THANK YOU EVERYBODY, I got it back up and running, needed to manually flash boot.img for the rom. But before flash the rom.

If you're trying to install an ICS ROM, they tend to bootloop for most who are s-on. I recommend you get s-off.

Something very wrong with latest recovery/bootloader/phone

So earlier today I tried flashing the latest nightly of CM10 (12/3) onto my phone using FlashImageGUI, and, for some reason, instead of booting into the recovery which I tried through the power menu, it wouldn't go into recovery and just kept going into my boot loader, so I decided to reboot and was back into the phone. Now I'm trying to turn it off so I can go to bed and it just keep rebooting into the boot loader. I believe I'm TWRP 2.2.2.0 and I'm S-ON
Anyone have a solution to this? Also I'd just like to figure out why this won't flash through FlashImageGUI
Sent from my EVO using xda app-developers app
I would just fastboot flash twrp 2.3.1.0 IMG
Do a full wipe. And start over with cm Maybe redownload it also
Check out dirtyracoon and get the evo soff. Its very easy to run soff means no fastboot or flash image GUI for kernels
Sent from a lens flare powered EVO LTE
Well I had it on TWRP 2.3.0.1 and it was always doing the same thing so it may be the ROM, unless this phone is getting messed up

EVO 4GLTE stuck on boot screen

Hi guys. I unlocked the bootloader but wasn't able to get SOFF. I tried flashing the elementalX kernel which allowed me to go through the setup. The phone then was stuck in a boot loop. I downloaded additional roms and extracted and flashed the boot.img and then the ROM however everytime I am just stuck at the boot screen. Any ideas?
I had all the latest firmware etc.

Boot into fastboot and connect through command prompt to your pc. Type fastboot erase cache
see if that gets you going.
I may give that a try. I ended up flashing ViperROM and it loaded up fine. I did nothing different than the other 3 ROMS i tried to flash so I am not sure where the problem is. I am going to keep trying since I didn't want to user Viper.

You have to flash MeanBean twice-once to flash the ROM, then again to flash the kernel.

Do you have a Samsung device?
Be warned - there is no such thing as fastboot mode for most Samsung Galaxy devices - you'll be wasting your time doing this and typing "fastboot devices" for many hours!
If you have problems with your recovery, it works to just reflash the CF-autoroot kit, which happens to flash the cache partition too. My problem was a bootloop with TWRP's obviously buggy OpenRecoveryScript, which was installing a ZIP file over and over again.

I don't have gsm.
Maybe you need hboot 1.5* that was on your other phone.
Smartflash is for s on
I would recommend using 4ext though
I would suggest changing your hboot
Reboot to recovery
Wipe all partitions except sd
Reboot recovery
Wipe all partitions again
Flash Rom
Reboot
If it still boot loops,
Then fastboot flash boot boot.IMG
Good luck

I managed to make my phone ok again,using a ruu. I think this is the best chance, relock if you are s-on unlocked,flash the ruu via fastboot,and the just use the htc unlock method to gain unlock bootloader and root... It was a log operation...it takes a lot of time ..but well, it worth it. My phone is now ok. You could give this a try. Search the forum on how to revert back to stock rom using a ruu.
Sent from my HTC EVO 3D X515m using xda app-developers app
There is no need to relock, and get s on.
You can run ruu through bootloader as a pg86img.zip, and retain s off.
That will give you all stock, but s off
However you need to get the Rom.zip from ruu and rename it first

so i updated the hboot to 1.5 and tried to flash the custom rom :c didnt work :/ still on bootloop and i tried to flash the boot.img and still nothing :/
Have you tried other roms?
Or restoring a backup?
Maybe you should go ahead and run the ruu.
I do not have gsm, but I'm sure its the same process of flashing.

Alright then, RUU, re-unlock (& s-off), and flash a custom ROM.
if you can't fix your problem, the RUU will, and allow you to start fresh. S-off is the best way to go.

[Q] Stuck on splash screen

I have rooted multiple devices and flashed countless roms on this phone but i went to update to sense 5 Y-6 and got stuck at splash screen. Then when i tried to go into recovery it shows the "TWRP" logo and then reboots. I then tried to fastboot flash an older version of TWRP but still no go. I did do a full wipe before trying to flash Y-6.

Yep. If you can't get adb working. Plan b. Look at my signature n look for recovery zip flash. Download the normal recovery not kitkat one.

To use Fastboot you need to have adb working. Add the zip to your sdcard once you boot into the bootloader just follow the screen. To flash with Fastboot. Add the recovery.img to your adb folder. Code is
fastboot flash recovery recovery.img

Man I wish I was quick enough. I experienced issues like you. All I needed to do is when I held the power button and got to the bootloader I went to fastboot and power down. I then got back in bootloader and then go into recovery. It seems that if you reboot to bootloader while the device is loading, recovery won't even start up. Just thought I'd share because you will probably run into this again.

Correction: adb and fastboot are not the same and not dependent on each other. One is used while the device is booted up (in either recovery or the OS), and the other one is exclusive to the bootloader. The drivers are also different.
