I have sprint evo3d and used ramjet's thread to root, s-off (wire method), and unlock. I was running Negalite Rom and everything seemed fine. I made a nandroid backup with 4ext recovery and tried a different rom (MIUI). I installed it using all the available wipes and it got me boot loops so i tried to restore my backup with negalite and that returns nothing but boot loops. Ive tried reinstalling the rom fresh and that also gives bootloops. I finally had to restore my backup of the stock rom which DID work but now I cant get a Negalite or MIUI to boot up with out boot loops.
Here is my current setup:
HBOOT 1.58.0000
S-OFF
HTC unlocked
I can get to the bootloader and i can get into recovery but i cannot get anything boot up
Edit: this problem was solved by downloading the hboot_eng_1.04.zip and renaming it PG86IMG and placing it on my SD card, booting into the bootloader. Let it read that. Them reboot and remove the hboot back off my SD card. I could then boot any JB rom with no boot loops. Hope this helps someone.

Hboot 1.58 won't work. You need 1.5 or lower is required for Miui. This solution is everywhere and is constantly being asked. Do some research before posting

Then why did it work before? and why does the op of that rom say it is compatible with 1.58?
I did plenty of searching. Did you even read the entire question?
EDIT: Judging by your thanks meter there it doesnt look like youre very much help to anyone... thanks for your input.
EDIT2: I can see that you threw that "for MIUI" in there as an edit to your original post as your original post came to my email and im looking at it now.

ok so i was running leedroid 5.4 with leedroids kernel, on my evo 3d GSM with hboot .0011 Unlocked and S-ON.....things were fine untill i tried to flash some other roms like shooterbeats and infected eternity rom, i was not able to get past the boot logo on both of those roms so i thought maybe it has something to do with my s-on....so i decided to make it s-off....after reading s_superman's thread for about 2 hours on how to downgrade hboot to .007 or 8 and unlock using revolutionary....i gave it a go, and did so sucessfully NOW MY HBOOT IS .007 with S-OFF using revolutionary and CWM but i am not able to FLASH ANY ROMz ON some roms my phone hangs on BOOT logo, and on some roms it restarts after LOGO appears........its really frustrating after so much hard work ,,,what i get in return is this...feel like throwin it outta window....ANY HELP WILL BE MUCH APPRECIATED ON HOW TO RESOLVE THIS issue?
now in recovery it shows "revolutionary HBOOT 1.49.1107 S-OFF RL"
well fortunately for you, sir, all is not lost....
flash twrp recovery 1.1.1.... just to get a start.
i have never had one single issue with twrp 1.1.1. if you are s-off, you can now flash kernels through recovery.
quick recap, flash twrp 1.1.1, reflash ROM, and kernel. both of which from recovery. if you still have booting issues, flash the kernel through adb.
do that, then come back and we'll go from there.

Hm. Maybe just try manually wiping everything from recovery instead? I never use superwipes and as long as I factory data reset x2, wipe cache/dalvik x2, I never have issues. That's just how I've done it on all my phones and I never have issues.
I just flashed Newts One S RC3. It took me a while but I finally found a method that worked. I did it once and got through set-up and was in play store downloading apps when it went into boot loop. I tried the same method again and it didn't work. I messed around with different methods for a while before getting the following to work.
What I'm using:
HTC Unlock method
Hboot 1.5
S-on
cwm recovery 4.0.1.4
I used a computer to fastboot to recovery. Did factory data reset, wipe dalvik, and cache all x2. I installed the .zip rom file from SD card. And then installed the .zip anthrax ics RLS5 kernel file from SD card. Then I rebooted and so far everything is working fine. I've been running it for a couple hours now. I manually downloaded my apps one by one from the play store for fear of repeating what happened to me the first time. And I've just finished signing in to everything I use and haven't had an issue yet.
I hope this helps.

Yes i herd about this but have you tried charging or connecting your phone to a computer, many people can't charge or connect to computer via USB because of this kernel
Idk before I sent my phone in a had been using that kernel. I had no trouble charging/connecting. But really what it comes down to is every one of these phones is different, then you throw in the hboot and other key factors and it just gets worse.

Turn off smartflash if you are s-off you dont need it.
Then flash chads htc leak rls1 kernel, that stopped all the bootloops and problems for me its something about the stock kernel i am guessing. Everything worked fine after using that kernel. Anthrax rls5 says not to use it with sense 3.6, its right on androidfilehost. Chad said to use the leak rls1 instead for sense 3.6.
boot loop
wonder why every sense 4.0 ics rom i try to flash to my htc evo 3d... it always boot loop, i done tired everything everyone told me and the same thing happens.. only thing that really works on my phone is gingerbread... any suggestion??? really would appreciate it...

In my case I can't get any ROM based on the leaked RUU to boot unless I changed the kernel, this applies to both 3.6 and 4.0 ROMs. I don't know if you're GSM or CDMA but I know the kernel from Shooter_Ice works for me which is a GSM ROM. I can flash that over just about any ROM and it works or I can install the ROM straight up and it works to. If you're GSM, try that, if you're CDMA then look for a similar ROM that isn't based on the HTC leak.

ICS ROMs bootloop if you are Hboot 1.5 S-On (which you are if you unlocked via HTC). I recommend you get S-off using the wire trick or downgrade to 1.4 S-off. See the stickies in the CDMA Development section (or GSM development) to find information and steps on how to do it.

+1, go s-off and you can flash anything you want
Loop FIX
Sometimes you will get boot loops even with 4ext.
One thing that I have found which works is flashing mean ROM 2.4 ICS as a base.
This ROM probably will not boot or will get stuck in a boot loop but that is fine in this case. From there on use 4ext to complete a "dirty install" of another ICS ROM. I recommend SOS De-Sensed Rom. Sometimes flashing a ICS ROM on top of another ICS ROM (booting or non booting) allows for install.
to bypass all the bs go straight to fastboot and flash 4ext recovery 1.00.5 and do the s off wiretrick and then try to flash the rom... when you get s off it releases more permissions for the kernel to flash to the rom without having to use flash image gui from joekrimz
try this
ok you need to flash the boot.img file trough the bootloader, if that doesnt work try flash image gui
Flash custom rom then pull out your battery, go to fastboot then try flash this boot.img with fastboot http://db.tt/kEUVhnvV

I was running 2.8.31 MIUI by Digitalhigh, and wanted to install Cyanogenmod 10 on Slot 1 using bootmanager.
I installed it with no issues. Then I tried to boot the ROM and it gave me bootloop (I didnt knew that CM10 wont work on hboot 1.58). So to fix the issue I went to recovery to flash the update.zip from sdcard/bootmanager/phoneRom directory. But the zip failed to flash . I connected sdcard to PC and that zip was corrupted. So now there wasnt any way to get back to phoneROM.
I then flashed the ENG hboot and CM10 booted perfectly but data and WiFi were not working. So bootmanager refused to start.
I then wiped everything and tried to install several ROM but the data is not working.
I am now S-OFF with ENG bootloader
with Sprint latest 2.89 f/w and MIUI.
So Can I use RUU_Shooter_ICS_35_S_Sprint_WWE_2.89.651.2_Radio_1 .09.00.0706_signed.exe to get back my phone in previous state?
If yes, what will be the steps to use it? does it require the 1.58 hboot and stock recovery or shall I use it directly?
Any help would be appreciated.
Nope, go right ahead and use it. You only need stock recovery for ota updates

And you won't lose your s-off status either. Ramjet73 did this a while back as a test so if you can find his posts on it, you'll have a lot of good information.
Read, Search, Read again, ... Then Ask with Tapatalk 2
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.

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.

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.
So I'm trying to put the latest stock Sprint ROM on my phone, but I want to keep all my ROOT and S-OFF. I read that you have to have certain HBOOTs for it to not bootloop. I found that info here:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1817513
and found the HBOOTS to flash from here:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=30014044&postcount=7&nocache=1&z=7862393853720278
I got the 2.89 stock ROMS from here:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1420206
and THOSE bootloop, both odexed and deodexed. HOWEVER... the 2.18 boots up but root isn't working in it. When I try to "su" from a terminal I get a segmentation fault.
PROBLEM:
I've tried a few different HBOOTS that should work with the 2.89 ROM, but it just keeps BOOTLOOPING
I even tried a few different recoveries, and also using the Synergy_3Dvo_Superwipe file.
It seems I am stuck.
I know these threads aren't very active anymore and I have an older phone but it's still my main phone and want to use it for a bit longer. Any help is greatly appreciated. Thanks!
Ok I literally just finished trying EVERY HBOOT I could find and they ALL result in bootlooping on the stock ICS. Here are the ones I tried:
PG86IMG_1.30-hboot.zip
PG86IMG_1.40-hboot.zip
PG86IMG_1.50-hboot.zip
PG86IMG_1.58-hboot_.zip

PG86IMG_JBear_1.58.5858_hboot_Sprint_ICS.zip
PG86IMG_Revolutionary_1.40.1100-hboot.zip
All downloadable from one of the thread links I posted above.
First off you need hboot 1.57 or up for stock ICS
Flash hboot 1.58 since it newest... Jbear 1.58.5858 should work fine too.
Once you verify you have the correct hboot, boot to recovery and wipe all partitions except your SD card..
Now reboot the phone to recovery...usually an option in the power menu of recovery
Wipe all partitions except SD again
Flash 2.89 ROM.zip
Reboot phone
If that doesn't work
Take the boot.IMG from the ROM.zip and flash through fast boot

Does wiping the partitions and then rebooting into recovery and doing it again do a better wipe? I don't think I've come across that tip before. However I ended up flashing a PG86IMG zip file of the stock ROM. I actually screwed myself a bit because I'm flashed to Boost Mobile and it messed up a bunch of stuff that I had to fix but it boots and now I got it working. I'm planning on ditching this phone as soon as I can find a new one that I like. Was looking at the Note 3 but it's hella monstrous and I am not a big fan of Super AMOLED displays, too much crayon effect color-wise for me, although I know most ppl love that. Thanks for your tip though. Wish I had tried it before but again my phone is working now.
When you change hboot it is wise to wipe and reboot recovery
I'm not sure on flashing to boost, but if you made a backup before you started messing around you may be able to go back easily after flashing your custom recovery...I assume you ran the ruu Pg86img which restores your factory recovery
