Hello I've been trying to flash a new rom onto my HTC evo 4g lte. I'm currently running sense (android version 4.1.1) my (hboot is - 2.09.0000) and im rooted. My boot loader is unlocked using HTCdev. I'm S-On. My recovery is twrp v2.5.0.0 and I have tried to flash cm10 once I finished and restarted the phone it would only show the boot image and I waited for about 10 minutes hoping it would work which it didn't then I read on other forums that I need to flash a kernel called htc dumlock and restore-original-boot-v2 I did that and followed the instructions and afterwards I tried flashing the rom again and it did the same boot loop. I luckily have a back up of my original rom however I would still like to flash a new rom can anyone help me please?
Check out the link in my sig for some useful info. Hopefully it answers all your questions.

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.

Not sure what gsm means but i can tell you what i know. I was using twerp or whatever, hboot 1.5 and s-on.
Ok, do you have a sim card? Are you on sprint? S-on is probably your issue but I need to know if you are cdma or gsm phone

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.

I'm having a problem with my girlfriend's Evo 3D. I did the HTCdev unlock method and then used adb to put superuser and team win recovery.img on it. I used the phone on its stock ROM for a day. Next I used ROM manager to flash clockwork recovery. This morning I decided to go with the Team Win recovery. I tried to flash a sense 4.0 ROM and now I'm stuck on the white HTC screen. Can someone tell me what to do?

Im guessing the phone is CDMA S-ON ( next time incude this info when asking question makes it easier for people to help you ) and with all sense 4.0 roms has is known issues about S-ON devices not booting or going into boot loops.
I would install a working rom then instal 4ext recovery with smartflash on.
This could fix your issue.
( Even if your phone is GSM and S-ON this should also fix your issue so make sure to click on the right link below.)
CDMA: 4EXT Recovery Touch
GSM: 4EXT Recovery Touch
I just wanna add one more thing, don't try to flash via rom manager, it's gonna ****ed up your phone..

thanks...i actually have been trying to do it through fastboot, and the link you sent me i have read over...for some reason i still am having issues when it comes to using fastboot...i am very new to this new method of flashing, it seems confusing and i have no idea what i am doing wrong exactly...only cm10 roms work on my phone
When you boot it goes into recovery because of HTC dumlock. That is normal operation.
You should super wipe before switching to and from sense ROM. That should work
guys thanks i got it all fixed now
Hey guys, I seem to have ran into a few problems while trying to flash a custom rom on my evo 4g lte. Being that I was unable to flash two different roms i decided to go back to stock via the ruu.exe.To root, I unlocked bootloader with htcdev.com and proceeded to root with twrp. While trying to undo I then relocked the boot loader but when the ruu gets to around 93% it fails and gives me an error code. I currently dont have a rom to flash to nor have a recovery to flash anything. When at the bootloader screen i have ''Tampered'', ''Relocked'', and ''Security Warning''. Also I have S-On.
Any help or information is greatly appreciated. I need my phone back lol. I used to flash all the time with my old evo and never got stuck like this before.
Some more information might be useful. List your Hboot version and radio (baseband) version. Really, you should be able to unlock your bootloader again and push a recovery to your phone, at which time you should be able to flash a ROM.
If that doesn't work, hit the top link in my sig and go to the last post in the thread. Hit the link and follow the instructions on how to manually install from the bootloader.

I am downloading now. I wasnt able to find this version but it is newer than the one I had. When i go to recovery it just goes right back to the bootloader. The error code I was receiving was 140. Btw, I really do appreciate you helping me out!!

You can flash any ROM with TWRP so long as it's for the EVO LTE. Having said that, since you're S-on you'll have to install the ROM kernel separately from the ROM itself. Read the guide in the top link in my sig for more info. There are a few ROM's that are easy to flash while S-on (MeanBean being one of them).

I never had to flash the kernel separately. Just did the normal wipe then flash and after it booted up it would go into a bootloop and I would reboot into bootloader then flash the rom again with it wiping

That only works with Sense roms that are equipped with the S-On Kernel installer. If you are coming from the OG Evo, you should know that flashing on this device is not the same at all. You certainly need to read before you act, otherwise you might brick your device. I've been stuck in recovery before from the same problem.

Hello guys I'm looking to get some help, and a point in the right direction as to what I need to do to flash roms on my Evo 3d. Currently the phone is rooted and is S-off with an unlocked boot loader. The boot loader is version 1.58. The recovery I using is 4EXT. I have tried flashing several roms including Evervole, Pacman, and the newer cm11 port based of ASAP rocky (I'm not sure of the name). Every time I flash the roms through recovery I data wipe and factory reset like you should do. The roms will install, but I can never get them to boot. They will just go to the logo screen and fail to load up. They don't boot loop they just fail to start. I have left them running for more than 10 minutes several times and no luck. What is the issue, and what am I'm doing incorrectly? Thank you for your help!!!
Just for clarification
Rooted
S-off
Unlocked boot loader
4xet recovery
H boot 1.58
Jbear boot loader from using the wire trick.
Evo 3D or V ? Find stock ruu and flash. it fixes boot issues. Also try a stable custom rom
Sent from my DOWNGRADED EVO 3D
Evo 3d on sprint. I flashed the stock ruu in order to do the s-off wire trick. I have a back up of that in my recovery. I just did that today. If I redo the ruu will I loose the s-off?
The roms you tried to flash need hboot 1.50
1.58 will only work for ICS roms
You do not need to do the ruu again

Okay thank you for that. Is there anyway I can downgrade my h boot? I tried using a file that you place on the root of your sd card and boot into the boot loader and it flashes it in order to downgrade the h boot. But the Rom still will not boot.
if you Put different hboot, you may need to reflash rom
Sent from my DOWNGRADED EVO 3D
Okay gotcha. So what is needed in order to run the newer jelly bean, and Kitkat roms?
You need hboot 1.50 or lower
The op will usually say what hboot to run.
After you change hboot
Reboot to recovery
Wipe all partitions except SD card
Reboot recovery
Then wipe again
Now flash new ROM / gapps
Reboot and enjoy
Make sure you move or rename the pg86img.zip when you are done, it will save you a headache later
