hi im new to this kind of phone, i have an lg revo but my friend had a spare phone that he wanted me to root. its the htc evo 3d sprint cdma, now i have it rooted and have recovery, but i tried to install the venom 1.0.0 rom and it loads up but stops at the htc evo screen on boot. im on hboot 1.58.0000 and am on s-on, the phone is unlocked. now ive been seeing things saying to downgrade the hboot to 1.49 but idk what to believe there is alot of different things that people say to do. can someone just tell me what i have to do to fix this and run this rom. like i said im new to this phone and just want to fix it and give it to my friend. make it easy to understand and please dont link me to another thread, i want a straight answer please.
certain roms need a particular hboot to work. for team venom's Viper3D rom you need 1.58 hboot (so you dont need to downgrade). the problem is that you are s-on. there are some simple steps you need to follow.
first of all make sure you have 4EXT recovery with smartflash enabled (this is very important, turn it on in options)
then in recovery wipe all partitions except sdcard and flash your rom. it should boot now.
All this can be avoided if you s-off your phone. if you ever decide to do that, use this guide

My friend recently got a used Sprint HTC Evo 3D which he got flashed over to MetroPCS, he was wondering if this would affect anything for flashing custom ROMs to his phone. He wants to make sure if flashing a ROM would not kick him out of the MetroPCS service or does nothing and just flashes the ROM like any other EVO 3D with the Sprint service.
On Metro since 2/2012

I have been on metro and the tech flashed it . I have the evo 3-d 1.50 S-on Locked, and it was returned to me with rom manager installed and
S-On and locked and only getting 3g. I then proceeded to unlock through evohacks instructions and I finally got root through fastboot
usb commands, installed CWM recovery and flashed roms. Be careful,IMO one should be totally S-Off and go back to 1.40 hboot in order to
flash practiacally any evo rom and especially seperate kernals. I once installed the Antrax kernal on a rom through flash UI and had some trouble, but I always do BACK -UP NANDROID BU FIRST and foremost. Sometimes it works but you have to really read and read and read in order to understand whats happening on your internal OS and internal USB/External USB--ETC. Take your time and read what others with ur phone and same set-up go through!. Patience..is the KEY. Alll these Mods here will help you but they have to know what exactly U want or need. Learn terminology too, all the Abbs' Etc. Don't forget to give praise where and when it is due. Ima noob and will probably always be one
but some of these moderators are PROS. IMO probably All are...
Hope this helps. LUCK!

good info here!!! I am flashed to boost, and the only thing that screwed me over was when I downgraded to hboot 1.4 and ran revolutionary to obtain s-off, it wiped my flash, and I had to get the phone reflashed...
Hello, I've installed LeeDroid, but it doesn't work. I see only HTC logo and 'Superman Android'. My hboot version is 1.53.007. I installed Cyanogen Mod and I want install official ROM 4.0 ICS. How can I do it? Please simply method
First off, LeeDroid has nothing to do with you wanting to flash a new rom.
Second, how did you install LeeDroid? Are you s-on or s-off?
I am s-on, i installed it by 4EXT
Ok well again, Leedroid has nothing to do with wanting a new rom. Find a rom you want to flash in the Dev section, and flash it like any other rom. Just be sure to read the first post for the thread you want, you may not be able to flash most roms if you are s-on. You may have to downgrade or do the wire trick thing to get s-off first.
How can I do it? I can't do it by fastboot, i cant install nothing else via 4EXT, because when I click recovery, i see on the top 'SECURITY WARNING'. Please, help me!
Find the ruu for your area here: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1208485
Flash it and then you may have to unlock with HTC dev again. I do recommend you get s-off as it will make things easier.

Ok, first, it really sounds like you need to do some more reading before you go any further.
Second, you need to be more informative. What exactly do you mean that you "cant run ROM"? What do you mean the "wire trick not works"?
worked, you can close thread
I don't want to be giving my friend the wrong information. When his sprint 3d was boot 1.5 I took it and soff it for him downgrading to 1.4. Now recently he upgraded to hboot 1.58 and it says relocked at the top. Of course he still has recovery and still is rooted.
My question is since his phone is soff can't he just still flash whatever with no issues? Does he have to do dev unlock again?
I own a rezound and have had many HTC devices and soff has always been the key to everything for me. Any help would be appreciated
With s-off there's no need to unlock his boot loader again. (For example) If he wants to flash an aosp rom, all he's gotta do is downgrade his hboot via boot loader.
Perfect. Already installed JP bear latest hboot and went to twrp. Making a backup now. That's what I was thinking but I wanted some confirmation. Its been a while since I messed with an Evo 3d
Hmmm. It won't flash paranoid android. Even tried the 1.04 eng hboot. Any ideas? Using twrp recovery. Latest radios and 1.04 eng hboot.

A lot of people have had better luck with 4EXT on the Evo 3D. You can download the Recovery Updater for free from the www.4ext.net website and install the current version of 4EXT Recovery from that app. Then "format all partitions except SD card" in the wipe/format menu of the recovery, and try flashing PA again.

K. I'm working on that now. I let you know soon its backing up now. Thank you for the heads up. Do you think I should go back yo the latest jbear hboot? Or just leave the 1.04 eng hboot? He wants to be able to run these jellybean builds that are out

Stay with the ENG 1.04 hboot for now. The GB and AOSP based ROM's won't boot with the latest JBear (1.58.5858) so if you want to use a JBear version 1.50.5050 is better.

Wow thank you for all the help. I just did everything and unfortunately it is just stuck in a never ending splash loop. Doesn't seem like the kernel/boot is being flashed. Made a backup so I should be good. Just sucks doing all the steps and being stuck.

Are you doing the "format all partitions except SD card" in 4EXT right before flashing the ROM? Make sure to give it plenty of time to boot since sometimes the first boot can take up to 10 minutes.

Well go with ramjets suggestion and try format all partitions minus sdcard along with full factory data wipe and cache/dalvik wipe and see if it boots up all the way.( it couldn't hurt to do all the wipes two or three times before you flash the rom). Just to make sure everything was wiped all the way.
Oh yeah. Step by step . It just never gets past splash. I looked into the ROM downloaded and saw a boot IMG but it really seems like a boot issue. Doesn't make a lot of sense to me. Soff, everything in right place, correct recovery and no boot. Not complaining, he still has his backup he is running and it restores backup correctly.
His phone was soff and he upgraded firmware to the 1.58 so it said locked in hboot. I just flashed 3 dif bootloader with no issues. Its def soff.
Ok, try flashing a different kernel. Try the Mac kernel that's located in Mazda's aokp jb thread. I believe buttered toast came with pa that your trying to flash. It could also be a bad download as well. You could always redownload the rom as well to see if that works. You never know about these things sometimes.

You've tried all the standard stuff to get AOSP ROM's to boot on the Evo 3D. At this point I can only suggest that you flash the 2.89.651.2 SPrint ICS RUU from here, then reflash a custom bootloader and recovery. That will make sure everything is in sync and has cleared up this problem for other users.
You don't need to relock the bootloader (although I think you said it is already relocked) when flashing the RUU if the phone is S-OFF.
ramjet73
Yes, I will try to download ROM again and also grab that kernel.
I soff this phone for him when it was hboot 1.50. Then I reverted to 1.40 via brick method to get it soff. He has ran some form of an hboot/radios update because he was told to do that. Now we are working together and I am trying to fix all his stuff and get him setup correctly. I have an soff rezound and am sure his phone isn't seeing the boot.IMG.
Now today his phone said locked or relocked am not sure. I went ahead an changed his hboot to a recommended 1.04eng hboot. Installed 4ext recovery via the app that was linked. I am downloading gangam style cm10 to test just to see if something will boot. It successfully flashed a sense based ROM and booted fine thru an aroma installer that came with the ROM. In the installer I stated it was soff and had no issues. I will try the ROM and it doesn't boot I will jump back to recovery and flash a kernel and see. Thanks very much for all the help
Well, I have done it all. Not much more I can do. He may try to run the ICS ruu later but I just can't get any cm10 jb based ROM to boot. Y'all have been more than helpful catching me back up to speed on the 3d and while I agree this should be flashing alas it is not booting. I am positive its just not accepting the boot img for what ever reason because it never makes it far enough after reboot from recovery. Just endless quick splash screen reboots.
No problem. I just wanted to add that a lot of users are having weird issues with paranoid android. ( I'm subscribed to the thread) so it could be that your phone doesn't like pa for some reason. ( Not a diss on Lens Flare at All) but he's been having some issues with the rom and is more than likely trying to work on it. Hopefully you can get gangnam style up and running or even aokp jb. If none of these work, I would go with ramjets suggestion and run a ruu and then back to Asop.
Edit: guess you already tried them. Hopefully you get some better luck after you try the ruu method. Good luck.
Now, before you start giving me tutorials and links and things of that sort, let me explain my problem. No matter what rom and kernel combo I try, it starts booting and then just bootloops. I already have an idea of what the problem is though. I have 4EXT recovery installed and I unlocked my phone with HTCDev. The thing is tho, when you do it with HTCDev, it stays S-OFF but unlocked. So whenever I install a rom, it fails after the kernel gets installed (And I tried SmartFlash and all of that) I'm on HBOOT 1.57, so I need a way to make it S-OFF so I can install all the jellybean and ICS roms I want. I'm also confused about firmware. Where is that stored and what exactly is it for? (For example, to install the ICS rom, it says I need some file [sprint 2.89 something...]) So I need a step by step guide to how to get it from my point to S-OFF running MIUI or AOKP. Right now I have no ROM (All partitions are wiped)

You can install all ICS roms with smart flash. Even if you are S-ON and hboot 1.57. For example MIUI v4 forks like a charm on this configuration. I've gained s-off via htcevohacks.com... There are couple of video tutorials and explanations about hacking gsm and cdma evos.. It's simple step by step tutorial, just watch it couple of times so you will know what to expect and need and just follow the guy

With s-off you're fine.. Just copy the pg86img on the sd card and boot into bootloader and hit yes.. It should give you the hboot 1.49.0007...

So while in process of s-off once I got to the part when you "fastboot oem rebootRUU" that went through. But right after trying to flash a zip im stuck looking at the blk HTC screen. I was given a "<Failed <remote: 99 unknown fail>". Now its just stuck.
I've been trying to figure out what happened but just have no where else to turn. Please lend a hand.
I think I already know the answer to this question, but what version is your firmware? Just for your knowledge, there hasn't been an RUU since ICS, or maybe the first release of JB. So, odds are, you flashed the wrong RUU.
But good news, you *might* not be bricked. Have you tried rebooting? This really your only option, anyway. Try to get into the bootloader. Flash a new recovery if the RUU has already wiped it, and flash a compatible rom.
Please also list your bootloader info.

It's not a full RUU in the normal sense. It's the one for Facepalm.
To the OP, did you gain SuperCID prior to running those commands? If not, then the process will fail. You should simply be able to hold the power button down & reboot your phone. Also, as stated above, list your device info so we can make sure you're using the right S-off exploit.

So I did get the phone into the bootloader. I was trying to do the rumrunner s-off but being I was so damn tired lastnight I ended up forgetting a step. I am currently unlocked and rooted. I also somehow deleted my backup like a idiot and wiped the os. So I'm stuck from this point where I need to go.
So where we stand as of now:
bootloader unlocked
rooted
twrp 2.6.3.0
firmware 3.17.651.4

Happens to all of us. Don't worry about wiping the OS. Look for Captain Throwback's stock rooted rom, and flash a custom kernel along with it, like the Dirty MAC kernel or Arc reactor. Doesn't matter which one...rumrunner just needs a custom kernel.

After you flash these, then reboot into Android, set your phone to stay awake during charge Settings-->Display and Buttons, and also set SuperSU to automatically grant root access (open the app, swipe right twice, and scroll down a little). This way, you don't have to touch your phone. If you touch it, the process will fail....even to unlock the phone to grant root access. And of course, turn on USB debugging in Developer Options.

This is odd to me, because I ran rumrunner at least 3 times using just my stock ROM (no custom kernel or anything), and it worked fine every time. I guess the new version of rumrunner added some limitations to make it more generic.
whats bothering me is that even after i check the MD5, it keeps failing to install capt zip. think maybe i can just use adb to push the zip file? just not sure how to word the command right to get it to load

No, don't. If it fails, don't force it. Reflash TWRP 2.6.3 (not the kit kat version), and try to flash again.
@Captain_Throwback: Yes, I didn't remember needing a custom kernel when I used Dirty Racun, but rumrunner needs it now. Keep in mind that rumrunner isn't for this device exclusively. Maybe that's the purpose of the custom kernel.
i'd wager you're trying to flash files that aren't recovery flashable, then lying to the people who are trying to help you.
i got it running again using capt stock rooted rom. attempting rumrunners s-off again now that i got this part working.
Are you using a custom kernel?

Thank you all that helped me with my stupidness and not reading directions.
Last post. I can't say it enough that you must read read read when it comes to directions. If I would of followed directions as directed I would of never ran into the issues I did. It was a learning experience.
One thing for sure that I took from this experience is adb and directions. I've learned a lot in the last 24hrs alone.
I'd like to thank Capain_throwback and everyone in the irc for the help and you all here that assisted me.
