Hello. I am rather new to the Evo 3D. I just finally got it HTCDev unlocked, and it is still S-OFF. I am on h-boot 1.50. I tried using 4EXT recovery to flash both Dirty Unicorns and PACman, but both result in infinite bootloop. I have tried wiping everything: cache, data, and dalvik. I tried from both TWRP (loading it from fastboot) and 4EXT, both with and without Google Apps. Any ideas how to help?

Your Hboot is the problem. Downgrade to 1.49.0007 and you're good to go

How can I do that? I haven't found any resources for it. I can downgrade to 1.40, but that breaks fastboot when I do it. Should I try an older RUU?

Here is hboot 1.40 Download
download it and rename it to PG86IMG place it on the root of your SD card and reboot into bootloader (holden power + voldown)
It will load it self and say upgrade hboot just follow instructions on screen from there.
That should then the JB room to boot if it keeps bootlooping wipe data factory reset one more time.
*After your done with it delete the file from the SD card using a file explorer or by mounting the SD card to your PC so that when you need to use recovery it doesnt load it self again.

Thanks, but I already solved it. While downgraded to 1.40, I flashed the 2.08 PG86IMG. From there I simply used the wire-trick to get S-OFF, flashed the Revolutionary 1.40 hboot, and now enjoy PACman.

I've decide to format my SD and install clean rom without any files at SD.
I've flashed the radio, wiped all what I need delvik,chance and data. I've flashed the rom and....nothing! Its stock at the logo of the rom (virtuous eclipse 1.0.0) in my case and nothing happened...
I removed the battery and contacted the SD to the computer and I found out that no file have been created and the SD is empty except the zip rom on it.
Did anyone can tell me what is the problem?
I have rooted evo 3d with unlock bootloader I use 4ext as recovery, my hboot is 1.49.1107 and my radio is 11.25.3504.06_m.
Something very important I had this rom and its works fine, I've done backup and when I'm restore it lots of apps don't work like 4ext when I want to get into recovery its stock and I have to get out the battery....
thank u all
Try restoring your backup and once your booted into your rom go to settings/sd & phone storage and format your sd. Then replace the rim you were about to flash back on your sd. Then reflash the rom.

Are you S-OFF or S-on? In 4ext recovery have you turned on the SmartFlash feature?
Try flashing boot.img seperately using fastboot.

i will turn on the smart flash at 4ext and flsh boot via fastboot and i hope its wil help

when flashing other ROMs, use a superwipe script or wipe everything manually (data, cache,system etc )......Some Roms wont boot if you havent wiped system.....
Some Roms include a wipe script.

I formatted my SD because I wanna clean SD. I've made vipe delvik and chace trough cwm turn off my evo, removed the SD (I had a 4ext partition on him so I delete her with Gparted )and then formatted my SD. I copy virtuous eclipse rom to the SD and try to flash it and its got stack at the blink logo for half an hour
I removed my battery go to bootloader and flash 4ext recovery, made super wipe and trying again to flash the rom - I got the same result.
I tried to flash the boot from the zip file trough the bootloader and flash the rom again and again the same result.
I decided to try working roms for sure like leedroid's rom, I flashed him and its worked!
I want an ics rom with sense 4 so I tried to flash will1972's rom, its the first ics rom that someone published and get lots of bugs, I manage to flash him and its worked!
I try again to flash again the virtuous rom and got the same result, get stack at the blink logo...
I've done backup of the rom when its work (virtuous) and now when I'm restore it lots of thing doesn't work properly , like 4ext, like restart....
I think that something is avoiding the command to get the hardware and do what she had to do...

I'm on HBOOT 1.53.7777 and i used the GSM version.
If i remember right ( i used the cdma version for a bit) i think you need to be on hboot 1.58 in order for it to boot. I could be wrong tho

**EDIT** after reading the latest posts it should work with your current hboot. If you are s-on then try going to 4ext recovery then tools > enable smart flash
also make sure u do a full wipe of everything except the sdcard and then wipe cache-dalvik too then flash the rom

EDIT : It didn't work for that . do you know any ROM that works with hboot 1.53.7777 just to boot my phone ?
[SOLVED] with PG86IMG.zip.
For those who have same problem as mine , you just have to download this file and put it in the sd card , reboot in to booloader and wait for the "pres volume up/down" thing , update the hboot and than you will have hboot 1.49.
THANK YOU ALL WHO HELPED ME.
Hi
Unlocked (JuopunutBear)
Shooter S-OFF
HBOOT-1.58.5858
RADIO-1.09.00.0108
Boot to recovery
Wipe system, boot, data, cache, dalvik
Installed cyanogen_shooter-ota-eng.toastcfh.zip
Reboot
It goes to the cyanogen logo going around and around then reboots. Sometimes I even get to see the lock-screen for a second before it reboots. I've tried wiping data/cache again from the recovery, I've tried installing unofficial versions 9 and 10, nothing works. Please help me. Thanks in advance.
EDIT: Okay it seems that I can't flash any custom rom. Only stock works. I have jbear hboot, is there anyway to rollback hboot without bricking my phone?
Boot into fast boot and then do a HTC relock. Download the ruu for your software version and run it. All in boot loader. That'll put your back to stock.

I am have some issues booting any rom, i hav an unlocked bootloader, hboot 1.93.0003, emmc-boot and s-off with cwm touch recovery. I have tried with both speedrom and android revolution roms. They both instaled but they never boot up pass their boot animation screen, plz help
1st flash 4ext touch recovery using hasoon's AIO toolkit for amaze.
2) wipe /format
- wipe chache + delvik cache.
- wipe all partitions ( except sdcard )
3) install from zip.
- choose file to flash.
And then your Rom will work fine...
Hit thanks if I helped you !!! :thumbup::thumbup:

Greetings from Florida,
Don't use Clockworkmod recovery, it's bad.
Use Hasoon's toolkit to flash 4ext. It's much better.
You also need to be Super CID and have the ICS firmware installed.
Once you have that settled, go into 4ext recovery by either holding volume down and power, and choosing recovery, or reboot from hasoon's toolkit's menu.
Choose format all partitions and then flash either ARHD or SpeedRom. I also made some Roms that you might want to try out.
Please press thanks if this helps.
Best regards.
Wipe that sucker!
Then update to ics!
Then do everything you did, all over again.
Here's my situation--I had been running MeanBean for a while and decided to try Kush's KK build (http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2518211&highlight=loop). I flashed the recovery he linked to, then installed the rom and gapps he linked to. TWRP said everything went successfully. But, when I reboot, the phone just hung at the HTC splash screen. I tried flashing again, downloading fresh and flashing again, wiping the cache, etc. Nothing worked.
So, I decided to go back to my last nandroid of MeanBean. But, after TWRP "successfully" recovered to the latest nandroid, I got stuck in a boot loop. The phone gets through the first part of the boot animation, then freezes and reboots. I tried installing a fresh version of MeanBean, flashing back to TWRP 2.6.3, but nothing has eliminated the boot loop.
I'm s-off and I've never gotten stuck like this before. Anyone have any thoughts?
Reboot to the bootloader and run the command "fastboot erase cache" from a command prompt, then try a fresh install. Are you sure you're S-off?
Sent from my HTC EVO 4G LTE
Thanks for the suggestion. I erased the cache from fastboot and did a fresh install of MeanBean. No luck--still in the same boot loop.

Have you tried fastboot flashing the boot image from the rom? You shouldn't need to if you're s-off but couldn't hurt if you're still getting boot loops.
Sent from my EVO LTE
Thanks, Fin. I tried fastboot flashing to boot.img separately (which shouldn't be necessary with s-off) after a fresh install, and I'm still in the boot loop. Any other ideas?
Go to recovery, do a full system wipe (data, system, Dalvik & cache) and re-flash the ROM after a fresh download. Really, though, you shouldn't have to wipe cache, since it's under /data.
Sent from my HTC EVO 4G LTE
Okay, did a full wipe, got a fresh download and installed. Still in the same boot loop. I also tried flashing TWRP fresh again. Any other ideas or am I bricked?

What ROM are you trying to flash at this point, and also, which recovery are you using, the one posted in Deck's OP, or one from the TWRP website? If you're trying to flash a 4.4 ROM, use the recovery posted in Deck's OP. If you're trying to flash a different ROM, use the regular TWRP recovery.

Trying to flash MeanBean, which is what I've been using previously. I flashed the regular 2.6.3 Jewel TWRP.
It sounds to me like you have the same problem I did. When in recovery and you wipe caches does it say failed? Look into your internal sdcard and if it is empty then it has been erased and corrupted. If so remove your sd card and plug your phone into your pc and mount usb. If it says the card needs to re-format then that is your problem. Re-format your internal sdcard and replace your external sd-card. Flash meanbean and reboot.

Hmm, don't think that's it. I've been able to mount internal storage and wipe the cache, etc. just fine.
I'm at a loss at this point as to what the problem might be. If you shoot me a PM I have one last option for you.
