[Q] What is a good ROM? - HTC EVO 3D

I have been looking for a JB ROM for my HTC EVO V 4G for some time now, but I can't seem to find one that supports what I have. I am running hboot 1.57 with S-ON (I once tried getting S-OFF and bricked my phone for nearly a day-spent 7 hours trying to fix it-never doing S-OFF again!). I'm currently running the epic NegaLite Blue ROM. Any suggestions?

AFAIK, you must get s off first.
Your best bet for jb look for s on, is to install a launcher, or flash a senseless rom

Without s-off you can't flash JB rom. You have to do s-off first. That's because you need new kernel, you can't change your kernel with s-on.

I've changed my kernel multiple times with that one kernel flasher app for the EVO

Yes, it's possible with this app or maybe fastboot (im not sure), but impossible in your recovery.

You need to downgrade your h-boot to 1.4x.xx. I order to downgrade you need to be s-off

But he must downgrade anyway. So the best thing to do is flash 1.49.0007 h-boot because it's known for making no problems whatsoever

For me it's Revolutionary just because wires and small electronic components just don't go together in my world. But that's just me, a lot of people say that Jbear is easy and simple
Sent from Mwakious powered EVO 3D

like one of the other users said, you should go "S-OFF" first
At that point, you are free to try any hboot, rom, radios, etc.
As for me, ive tried Negolite, SmoothCriminal, PacMAN, and now Wild For The Night.
The Jelly Bean Roms (PacMAN and Wild For The Night) have by far been the ones i like best. I could not get MMS working on PacMAN so i went to WFTN and i got every feature of the phone working perfect (except for 3D which doesnt work on any JB rom at this time)
The rom really depends on what fits ur lifestyle and ur taste. i like the smooth look of a JB rom and the features of the camera.

I have hboot 1.57 and the beta key for Revolutionary is only for 1.4 and 1.3. Can I still get S-OFF with those?

Will controlbear work with mwakious ? They say it will not but I am not sure.

Boot loop on all ics roms

I keeping getting a bootloop on all ics roms and I tried a kernal that someone recommend but it kills my 3d and i get random reboots . Is there any way to fix this problem and install the ROM with everything working. I'm on hb 1.50 . S- on . Or is there a way to downgrade to hb 1.40 but i don't have a Linux . What's the easiest way ?

You can always try 4EXT Recovery with smartflash on. It works for both S-On and S-Off

try a superwipe. that fixed mine. Look in the dev forum for it (i think you can find it in the mean rom thread)
You could also downgrade using the instructions in the development thread. Ir doesnt require Linux, it includes a downloadable bootable CD. ITA damn near an automated process minus the brick part. And +1 for 4ext recovery it has features built just for S-on.
My other shooter is an FNAR .308
I already tired a super wipe and my netboot doesn't have a cd drive .

Well what kernel did you use, you could be flashing the wrong one. The other option is to downgrade HBOOT ,, no linux required

I got my ICS ROM to work by flashing RLS1
I doubt downgrading HBOOT will help, he's getting it to work with Chad's kernel. I'm exhibiting the exact same issue with bootloops with the stock kernel(in my case I used the shooter ice kernel to get it to boot) and I'm S-OFF/GSM so I'm pretty sure the issue isn't HBOOT related.
Same here
I have the same issue. I use 4ext with smartflash for recovery. I'm able to flash any GB rom I want, but when I try an ICS rom with a stock kernel I get the boot looping. Is there any other way to make this work? I don't want to dig into the brick/unbrick business if I can help it. I have also tried using Flash Img GUI and fastboot/adb to flash the kernel with the exact same results. Any information on this would help, but a solution would be fantastic!
._. I see what's going on... It's GSM users trying to flash CDMA kernels once again.

+1 to this. The stock Ics kernel does not do well with 1.5 s-on. Since you cannot downgrade to 1.4 s-off, you should try the new 1.5 s-off method. Otherwise you have to use a custom kernel which is not 100% yet.

Seems like no stock ics kernels like 1.4 hboot period with or without s-off. None would work for me until i updated my hboot to 1.5 and had s-off.

I recommend you read all about it first as you have to connect two contact points on your phone using insulated wire, which sounds kind of dangerous.

The hboot downgrade seems a lot less scary for sure. In all honesty it was ez and took me less than 30 mins but to each his own

Hi,
if your phone is S-ON rooted, not all roms are working. The most roms need a S-OFF root.
So if you want to use all roms, you have to unroot your EVO 3D (flash a stock rom and use a RUU) and root it the S-OFF way. It's not very complicated!
Greetz,
Hardy

The juopunutbear method for hbotot 1.5 works and it's really easy. And as far as CDMA ROMs go I would highly recommend ZREDX. When i had S-ON it worked. It's just better now with S-OFF.
Getting S-off is easy and once you do MeanRom ICS is great. Seriously great battery life and very fast and smooth. Was my second daily driver for this phone. (Cdma evo 3d) also I should point out I'm a total noob wen it comes to this stuff but YouTube and xda are your friends and I did it with very little issue. Get s-off and never look back.

This is the GB version of my favorite ROM. Since you are S-on, you will have to flash the kernel separately using 4ext Smart Flash (see my signature), Flash Image GUI, or fastboot. Using one of those, this one should flash fine. Then you can get S-off and go to ICS (although you might just stay with GB since this ROM is that good ).

Hi can u help me? I have HTC EVO 3d gsm ,its unlocked but s on..I want to install viper3d Rom.. but do I have to get s off first if I'm using 4ext recovery?
Viper and S-on/off
No viper should work with s-on, you might have to flash the boot.img in fastbootusb to get wifi and or radio to work
I am s-on hboot 1.53.0007 and havent had any problems with Viper, worked like a charm without the need to fastboot, just activated smartflash in 4ext tools. Only thing I have to take in account is that on my hboot cm, aokp, etc do not work, only sense bases and apparently miui

You need to get your phone S-OFF my man, it's quite simple. It seems like it's a complicating process but the process is just, going back to stock by flashing latest RUU for your carrier, running the ControlBear.exe, waiting for it to tell you to do the wire trick, and just doing it. You might mess it up, I know I did. Might take you 1 time, might take you 5, might take you 19 (in my case), but all in all, you're most likely going to get it. And it's 100% worth it.

You also need to do the htcdev.com bootloader unlock after flashing the RUU. That step is kind of important.
ramjet73
I know guys, but flashing the ruu failed in my case every time, even though i am 100% sure it was the correct ruu. Also, wire trick requires 32bit operating system and i have win 7 64bit, and i have waaay too much sensitive data on my laptop to afford bothering with an os reinstall just for this, to be honest. Ok, this means no JB and no roms other than sense, but I am rather ok with that. Maybe one day I will, but right now i feel too lazy to install new os, set it up, flash ruu, reunlock, reroot, s-off and then reinstall 64bit os again so i can continue my work as i should...

Hboot downgrade.does everything works ?

Hello.
I used the wire Trick.
My hboot Version is 1.53.0007
S-off.
I would like to downgrade my hboot to 1.49. And use revolutionary to unlock.
Can i downgrade to that hboot and flash newest Radio/ Firmware without Problems?
Why do i want to do that?
Becouse it is the only way to flash cm Roms.
After i do that can i flash ics custom Roms without Problems?
Does someone has a Download Link for 1
.49. Hboot ?

I think you can do that (I'm CDMA so ours is a little different). You could do the write trick and then downgrade your hboot after you get s-off. I think that would be easier.

Duh. I misread your OP. Afaik, that hboot will allow you to install the ICS custom roms too, but you may want to wait for a GSM user to confirm. Or try it and if not, you can always revert back. The beauty of being s-off.

A friend of mine uses virgin mobile and just picked up the evo v 4g. i went and htcdev unlocked the phone, installed twrp and rooted no problem. what i need to know being all my phones are gsm and i dont wanna screw up his phone. ive read through a bunch of threads and do i need to the s-off wire trick? all he wants is to run a JB rom. Any pointers would be greatly appreciated. Im in the process of downloading the QADERSO v2 VM zip file now. ill post the bootloader info as soon as he calls me back but the phone is pure stock ICS out of the package last month. Also any rom suggestions that are compataple with vm? or will the sprint ones work as well?
Thanks again
In order to run jb roms I had to be s off and on hboot v1.5. S off is the tricky part.
