My Amaze was/is running fine on Gingerbread, rooted Bulletproof v2. Now I'm trying multiple ROMs, mostly Cyanogen Mod 10.1, and they all have the same problem. After installing via 4EXT RC9 (I'm S-On) the device boots into the Rom, lasts 5-30 seconds (can't get past lock screen and/or setup screen), freezes, then restarts. How can I fix this?
*Nevermind* ICS RUU. Got it. Thank you.

I'm having trouble with my E3D randomly rebooting. I've treid different Roms, kernels, CPU settings, and it always randomly reboots. Does anyone have any sugestions?

I've learned that the Anthrax kernel for Evo 3D causes a lot of reboots, despite what I had the CPU clock speeds at. But once I flashed the original 2.17 stock kernel, I haven't had a random reboot since. My ROM is Fresh Evo 3D 4.2.0 (based off of RUU 2.17).
If you're S-ON: use Flash Image GUI to flash the kernel or flash via fastboot.
Don't forget to wipe your cache and dalvik-cache
If you are using a 2.17 rom you probably need to update your firmware. There is a package here is the quote from the meanrom thread:
2.17.651.5 ROMs need the latest firmware. See freeza's all in one firmware update if you haven't done that already. If you unlocked via the HTC method, you know the drill: you'll have to take the OTA and then re-unlock.

I did this and it fixed it for me. But i have s-off and hboot 1.5.
^smokin how ya been buddy? been a while. lol
to the OP...
random reboots can be a lot of things. you need to remember that not one kernel will perform or function the same on every device. i would say flash stock kernel, if that fixes the issue, then good. if not, then there is another issue somewhere that is causing your reboots.
a few questions, though:
when it reboots, is it while you are using it? or does it just do it at random... basically what i am asking is it possible for you to cause it to reboot by doing something specific?
when it reboots, does it load up the OS completely, or does it get caught in a boot loop?
also, do it do a FULL reboot, or does it boot the boot animation (the moving animation after the static screen)?
this will help assess your problem.
My first evo 3d started doing this to me, tried everything to fix it, eventually went back to complete stock with super wipe and still didn't fix it. It got so bad that I updated to 2.17 with hboot 1.5. Phone stopped would stop responding after going through initial setup. Took it to sprint and got it replaced. Only thing I could think of that caused it is over flashing it. Flashing almost every day.
I have tried to Flash Viper IC3D, MeanROM ICS (1.6 and 1.9) and Myn's, all of which crash after about half hour to one hour of use, then continuous enter an endless bootloop. I flashed with the both stock kernels from the rom and CHAD's RS1 3.6 kernel. I have not tried with Gingerbread, as I got this phone exclusively to run ICS.
I also have another EVO 3D on MeanROM 1.6, which runs pretty much flawlessly with Chad's kernel, I can't seem to figure out why the data partition seems to randomly corrupt, leading to just either a blank screen with blinking notification or simply repeats to the boot screen. Clearing the dalvik and cache do not help the issue either.
The only way to get it to stop is to clear the data partition and start fresh. Currently the phone is on 1.50 S-OFF, and running TWRP 1.0.3.
Anyone else have this problem or have a solution? I'd rather not have to relock the phone, flash the RUU and start afresh.
bump for answer
I recently flashed CM10 to my skyrocket, and started getting random reboots. This started happening on every rom I tried afterwards, so I flashed back to stock ics and tried to start over. Now, even stock ics will reboot when I touch it (it will stay running if I don't touch the phone, but simple things like going to the app drawer will make it freeze and crash). It also will boot loop most of the time. I'd say 1 in 5 tries I can actually get it to boot.
Is there some way to clear it back to stock "more"? It seems that it should be recoverable, since it does actually boot up sometimes, but I've tried the normal factory resets/ formatting, and flashing back to stock to clear any leftover problems, and I don't know what else to try.
Hello guys,
I gave my friend my EVO 3D (CDMA, Sprint) a few months ago when I upgraded to a new phone. Ever since she called Sprint to activate the phone (at the time running SOS M 2.6 ROM) she had nothing but problems. She also didn't have the Google Services packet working for some reason (all Google Apps worked fine with me, even thought hangouts was new I didn't use it on the Evo). After a while I tried to install Cyanogen on it and it failed (it won't boot and get stuck on a loop), eventually resorting to Venom, which is what she has now.
The phone is so slow it takes the keyboard 10-15 seconds to respond between button-pressing. Swipe is obviously impossible, and the phone sometimes gets stuck on boot. The whole thing is sluggish as hell. I'm not sure what going on, the phone was perfectly fine, and now after 3 ROM it's a piece of crap.
I am going to have the phone tomorrow again and I have permission to wipe it clean and try again. What I need is a ROM that has 4.0 if possible, but what's more important for me is that the thing would work smoothly. Having the 3D camera would also be nice. What ROMs would you recommend? Something that should work for sure? Anyone else have issues with Hangouts maybe?
Thanks, all suggestions welcome.

All right bro, so it's good that your phone isn't bricked, and it is just slow, so that's the first good part. I'll give you a couple of steps to help your EPIC (because 3D is epic) phone get into the fastest zone possible.
STEP 1) Flash a well-built, not in beta stages, stable rom like NegaLite-BluRom (/showthread.php?t=1745093)
STEP 2) Flash a stable, overclocked (for you) kernel. The best options are Mirage and ButteredToast. Those are the best and most common. DON'T FLASH THIS KERNEL WITH RECOVERY. Install Flash Image GUI apk on your rom (if you can't install it because of huge lag, try the adb method-check out a list of adb commands)
STEP 3) After flashing and rebooting, install an CPU manager of your choice (CPU Master is free)
STEP 4) Overlcock your phone to your need (this is probably your problem
STEP 5) Enjoy your lag-free phone.
*********************Additional Info:
NegaLite supports 3D (just check out its awesome 3D boot animation)
Its IceCream Sandwhich
It can be flashed with S-ON using 4EXT (install this before installing the ROM)
If possible with you lag, backup all your data and contacts using Titanium Backup (save you some time later)
Hi. i own an HTC EVO V 4G (Virgin Mobile). i used the Search function but sadly didnt found exactly what i needed.
a month or so after activating the phone, i decided to Root, S-off, Flash Recovery, bootloader and a custom Rom. However, its been a while now, that when i do a fresh install i get some inconsistency problems. for example, my first Rom was Harmonia, but later on i switched to MidnightRom. there the problems started to show up. the Sense version was working fine, but then i wanted to try out the Jellybean version. and when i did (after wiping everything, of course) some apps were not working. PlayStore wouldnt let me download anything, Tethering was not working, when using "reboot" the phone would get in a bootloop, which would only go away by removing the battery. and 3D games (Shadowgun, Temple Run, etc.) were graphically laggy. more like, unplayable. the image was distorted to the point it was impossible to see what was going on. messed around with fixing permissions, deleting Cache and Dalvik, re-flashing, and the problem was still there. i tried with other Jellybean Roms (both 4.1 and 4.2) and noticed that the problems were still there. anyways, after deciding to live with the problems (running Wild For the Night). months later i decide to flash MidnightRom again and i see that all the problems are magically gone. to this day ive been running only 4.1+ Roms and i dont have many issues whatsoever. BUT. i tried a Senseless Stock-based Rom the other day (started to miss 3D camera) and it ran well, but the overall behavior of the phone was laggy. it would take longer than usual to do anything. took me about 5 re-flashes to get rid of all the problems. then just yesterday i tried a few other Roms. some worked, though DU was really laggy, and the icons would switch places by themselves at times. as i saw the problem was not going away with re-flashing, fixing permissions and whatnot, i decide to restore to my most stable Flashed Rom.
just to clarify, here is what i do every time im about to flash a new ROM:
Wipe everything except SD card
Wipe Cache and Dalvik
Flash.
Reboot
after i flashed, if something went wrong, or if im flashing something ontop:
Wipe Cache and Dalvik
Fix permissions
Reboot
so question is, is this normal? does this has to do with the phone switching from ICS to JB? or am i doing something wrong?
also, just curious... is there a way one could, say, by some weird reason be "half S-off"? because although my bootloader says S-Off, and i have been able to flash many things, i remember that when doing the Wire thing i experienced many errors, and the thing said it was successful by itself a few seconds later while i wasnt doing anything.
and also, which is the best and most stable Hboot version i could use?
My HBoot version is 1.04.2000 (PG8610000)
Radio is 1.09.00.0706
My Recovery is 4EXT latest version
Thanks in advance
