[Q] HTC EVO 3D VM Help Needed - HTC EVO 3D

So I recently tried installing MidnightRom Jellybean on my EVO but got stuck on the Beats audio Logo Screen. I cant do anything except go to CWM v5.8.0.1 Recovery Menu and HBOOT Screen... Later figured out MNJB Doesn't work on 1.58 HBOOT
So I need to return it back to stock or something?
The RUU Program doesnt launch on my computer and i have drivers installed
Please Redirect me to a thread with similar Postings if possible
I Have a HTC EVO 3D Virgin Mobile

you should always make a nandroid backup of your current rom before flashing a new one so you can return if anything goes wrong. right now there are a couple of choices you can make. you can either flash a rom which works with your hboot or you can RUU back to stock.
If you want to run an RUU then you need to relock your bootloader first. boot into fastboot and type "fastboot oem lock" in cmd. then run RUU.
if you wish to install a different rom then first of all change your recovery to 4ext
extract zip file and flash recovery.img like you flashed cwm recovery. then boot into recovery and turn on smartflash in options (this is important as you are s-on. this will flash boot.img for you)
after that wipe everything except sdcard and flash a sense based rom

I don't think you can run ruu. 1.58 hboot is from the latest update, and afaik the ruu will only work on phones that did not take that update, unless you were s off.
You need to flash a stock Rom such as harmonia.
You may need to flash boot.IMG through fastboot to get out of bootloop.
And yes, you should definitely install 4ext recovery, and make sure smartflash is enabled

i tried flashing recovery...
i tried flashing recovery but cwm stayed it wont change

Make sure the 4ext recovery.IMG is the only recovery.IMG in your SDK tools folder.
Other than that, I can't help

[Q] How to S-OFF if the phone is not booting normally.

My phone is HTC EVO 3D, and it's bricking after the ICS update from provider. It hangs on the HTC logo. I read numerous post about flashing it with update or rom, but it's now S-ON and when I try to flash from SD card in recovery it gives me :
Invalid Operation
Rebooting Reasonem-00
As far as I know I have to get it to S-OFF before I can use recovery to flash it, but I tried revolutionary and seems like it require the phone in a working state to function. Currently when I run revolutionary with usb connected on HBOOT-1.49.0008 menu revolutionary won't connect. I don't have CWM either and I don't know how to get it onto the phone without Market Place and S-ON.
Is there anyway to get it to S-OFF so I can move forward to fix my phone with any working rom? Fastboot is connecting no problem (at HBOOT menu) but I don't know if it allows me to flash or turn it to S-OFF.
Thanks in advance.

I don't have your phone but I know that if u search it you might be able to get the official ics update for your device and the put it on your sd card and update from the boot loader and your phone would probably boot up and be fine but like i said Google it bc you probably have to rename the file something special. I'm kinda a noob so sorry if this didn't help
Sent from my Dark Unicorn Resurrected v.2.5 using xda premium
the RUU from Rogers wouldn't update either.
I'm not able to flash the Clockwork Mod to the recovery using fastboot.
I tried flashing King Cobra but after the flash the phone still doesn't boot. I'm still on S-ON. Revolutionary still won't connect...
I read this post: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1560279&page=21
that says I can flash the rom with S-ON with 4Ext recovery. But I can't do anything with the downloaded apk file as my phone doesn't boot up properly to the system. Where can I find the recovery img to flash it manually with fastboot?
Thanks.
Fixed this by:
1) Getting the official RUU on ICS.
2) Connect USB in HBOOT
3) Use fastboot to relock the bootloader
4) Run RUU on Windows and successfully flashed everything
So seems like S-ON pluse unlocked bootloader means no no to both official rom and custom rom.

S-on device kernel

Hello guys,
I couldn't get into this rooting stuff much. My device was unlocked and i flash twrp recovery. When I try to install a Rom such as miui it was stucking installing the buttered kernel. My device was not s-off. This could be a problem? I read something about flashing the boot.IMG file from the rom's zip file. Could you enlight my way. After I messed up my phone when got lost my hope to recover I used ruu shooter to get back.
Thanks.

Ill be glad to help you with this. With being s-on and unlocked you have access to the nand memory, recovery and system partitions but no access to boot partition which is where your kernel sits at. There's a few ways to work around this. You could download 4ext updater from google play and flash 4ext recovery onto your phone. Upon flashing is finished in the app it will ask you if your device is s-on. click yes and it will enable smartflash. This is a feature that will allow you to flash kernels through recovery means.You can turn this feature on in off in the recovery itself. You could pay a dollar and buy Flash Gui Image which is another great app for s-on users that will allow you to flash kernels and recoveries through the app itself. Of course there's a quick and easy way to gain s-off using ramjets guide. Here's the link http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1889438 Now this is for cdma users only (sprint and virgin mobile) However if you are gsm heres the guide for that as well http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1743466 Follow method c if your hboot is 1.49 and method d if it is 1.53 The choice is yours sir. Goodluck

You need to flash boot image.Here are the steps
1)enter recovery on phone,claer,delvik,clear battery stats,format everything but sd card
2) copy BOOT.IMG from what ever rom you are trying to flash (move to a folder on your c drive)
3) then set phone for fastboot usb
4) then open cmd on your computer open comand folder
5) use this comand next fastboot flash boot boot.img
6)then your boot img will flash and will take about 11 seconds or so
7) next open recovery on phone
8)clear delvik again and battery stats
9) install rom
10) clear delvik again then reboot,all should work
I do suggest going s-off it is really easy and eliminates alot of these steps.

If you read my post it already stated the easier options to flashing kernels ( purely his preference of method) I just laid out easier options for him than rather jumping through hoops to flash kernels. I also gave him links to where he can gain s-off ( again his choice if he wants to or not). It just seems redundant to restate basically what I just said. Not trying to be a douche at all.
With you on that,don't think your douche! Lol,sometimes putting the steps in outline forms helps noobs. I know when I first started to root my 3D and load roms,it took me a while to understand it. But hopefully we both were able to help.

[Q] Evo 3D HTC Boot Loop S-On No Backup! HELP!

i cleared everything and i have 2 different roms on the sd but when i install one i get htc boot logo i can get into recovery and hboot which is 1.50 by the way so what do i do? i have no backup and im just confused?
Since you are s-on, you need to make sure you're flashing the kernel separately. Most people have good luck using 4ext with its Smart Flash option.
You have likely hosed up the boot partition/kernel preventing 4ext's Smartflash feature from working. If u enter your recovery via fastboot command prompt you should be able to flash normally and get the rom's kernel to load.
The HTC Unlock/hboot 1.5x Guide (my signature) should help.

It means put your phone in "fastboot usb" mode and from the directory on your PC that contains adb and fastboot issue the following command:
fastboot boot recovery.img
The "recovery.img" parameter is the file name of whatever custom recovery you flashed to root.
After the phone boots up in recovery, just make sure SmartFlash (S-ON) is disabled in the tools menu if you are using 4EXT, then flash the ROM the same way you normally would. This method of starting recovery allows you to flash the boot partition (kernel) from recovery even though you are S-ON.
If you need more information than that, look at the links in the mpgrimm2's signature.

You can't flash with a relocked bootloader. Since the phone is S-ON you need to htcdev unlock the bootloader again after flashing the RUU, then install a custom recovery and you should be able to flash successfully or restore a previous nandroid backup.
ramjet73
It's not clear to me, but it almost sounds like MobilePLazza's problem is that he can't flash the full RUU to get back to stock and not sure if he even has the correct RUU.
Same outcome as the OP, but different problem. Perhaps he will clarify.

ok this is the issure phone is in bootloop now...............i relocked and flashed stock rom (ruu) as i said process 65% goes normal then suddenly shows 100% process complete but still phone in bootloop and im sure nothing is changed in my phone....but i can goto bootloader and even i can unlock phone again.....and i can run fastboot commands ....phone still in s-on.....
@ramjet : even if i flash custom rom after unlocking still my s-on is there to block and its not letting me to process it (no backup is taken b4 im so stupid here)
plz help me to solve this problem i just want this phone to run normally
It looks like you are on a GSM version of the 3d but the process is the same as the Sprint CDMA version we have, just different files (have to trust u on having the right Ruu, recovery, & Rooted Rom files).
Did u put the phone into "fastboot USB" mode, connect to pc and run the Ruu.exe from Windows OS when u did it?
As Ramjet73 was suggesting...
After u unlock the bootloader, are you able to use fastboot commands to flash a recovery.img? ie..
fastboot flash YourRecoveryFileName.img (to install recovery)
Then
fastboot boot YourRecoveryFilename.img (to boot the custom recovery)
Then flash a Rooted Rom from your sdcard with the recovery and reboot.
* keep in mind that you must enter the recovery via the above "fastboot boot.." command prompt every time you want to flash a Rom/kernel with S-on or you will bootloop because the kernel never gets loaded *

Alright, I might as well post in this semi-fresh topic. I tried to change roms tonight and got stuck in a boot loop. It loads the HTC white screen, starts a little past that and then resets. I've tried wiping my data, and both caches. I've made sure SmartFlash is enabled on 4EXT because I'm S-On. I've tried it with SmartFlash disabled, too. I tried fastboot boot recovery.img to install my rom and my kernel. I can't seem to get out of this loop. Any advice?
Glee, please state your full phone/carrier /specs / recovery/rom if you want help. If you are CDMA/Sprint, I suggest you read through the HTC Unlock/Hboot 1.5x Guide (in my signature), specifically the linked post about flashing Roms/kernels via Fastboot/Recovery. Then you will be better prepared to explain what you've done so far.

[Q] EVO V in Boot loop

I didn't S-OFF, 1.58 HBOOT. I've tried more that one rom. but can NOT get it to boot, Do I need to S-OFF and Reflash?
I messed up and Can not install 4EXT due to it not booting.
I have the HTCdev unlock
Can you get to recovery?
Flash a sense ICS ROM
Then you may need to flash the boot.img through fastboot
Then go get s off
Sent from my Evo 3D CDMA using xda app-developers app
Don't worry, if you want you can flash the 4ext image recovery from pc.
Go in fastboot mode, toggle it to pc, open the cmd/shell and flash the recovery with this command:
fastboot flash recovery 4EXTTouch.img
Remember to enable the smartflash option in "tools" section inside the recovery before to install a rom.
After this, you can install a Sense based rom.
I don't know AOSP rom that boot with smartflash feature, so if you know just install it.
If you have some problems with any step, ask :good:

Some can help please?
So, have you enabled 4ext smartflash on recovery? There are many roms that can be flashed on 1.53hboot. YAS, mwakious3d, Cool ICS and every ics rom based on stock ics sense. In order to flash theese roms you have to enable smartflash or unzip the boot.img and flash it on fastboot.

If the phone won't boot, go on fastboot and flash the boot.img from the corresponding rom through fastboot command.
Code:
fastboot flash boot boot.img
PS: The phone will double-reboot after the installation of boot.img from 4ext. So let it reboot and see after some time if it boots. If not flash the boot.img as described above.
If you're using the newest version of 4ext touch you're able to enable smartflash in advanced settings.
After that I recommend you to install stock rooted ICS. From this base you can easily s-off your device using Juopunutbear.

You can flash Cool ICS rom which is working on hboot 1.53 and don't need s-off,just simply flash the zip file and reboot your phone good luck
