I'm not necessarily new to rooting I've been doing it for a year or so on my old phone. But after upgrading I decided not to root for a while. Now I think I'm ready to root and get a custom rom on. I'm not used to the whole unlocking bootloader and then a different way of rooting from my old phone. Any sort of guide with links would be greatly appreciated!

Get some moonshine.

just thought i'd add something
you need s-off because verizon or htc stopped allowing the dna to unlock its bootloader from their htcdev site
once s-off you can flash any rom, kernel or recovery
you do not need to unlock your bootloader
the link i found was dead so here is cwm touch recovery that i use http://s000.tinyupload.com/index.php?file_id=17561816589933340240
I think every rom available is already rooted so thats taken care of
i just read some of the guides that are up and they are outdated, so ask anythting you need here and ill help
OK sorry about that I meant s-off. So I do moonshine flash cwm and then do I have to install super user?
Sent from my HTC6435LVW using xda app-developers app
nope all the roms are pre rooted with SU or superSU
but in case im wrong and you find a rom without root you can flash SU or superSU from recovery
hit "thanks" plx
simplified steps are:
1. s-off
2. flash recovery through adb
3. put the rom or rom and kernel you want on the phone and flash it in the recovery
thats it. its a bit simpler than most phones i think, especially samsungs as i just found out.
Step 1. S-off via Moonshine.
Step 2. Flash a recovery. I think the absolute easiest way is using this toolkit. This toolkit couldn't get any easier to use.
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2219175
Step 3. Flash whatever ROM you choose. I personally love ViperDNA.
Does moonshining wipe your data?
Sent from my HTC6435LVW using xda app-developers app
Nope... but sometimes the moonshine process will have problems that are typically resolved by doing a factory wipe, in order to sucessfully do the process.
OK now I'm coming from a Samsung device so it was a lot harder than this. My question is if I have to wipe data before flashing a rom or a recovery? I would also like to know what the adb is.

once you have the recovery installed you can choose "factory reset/wipe data" from the cwm menu along with wipe cache, also dalvik cache in the advanced menu in cwm, i do this before i flash any rom
ADB is how you flash a recovery and some kernels
but you need this driver installed http://www.htc.com/www/software/htc-sync-manager/?section=Requirement
you also need that driver installed for moonshine to work but after you install it you need to remove the htc sync manager part of it

here is a small adb and fastboot setup
once installed you can put the cwm recovery in the same folder as adb open a cmd window and from the directory that has adb and the cwm you type
"adb reboot bootloader" no quotes
then
"fastboot flash boot clockwork-touch,img"
now you have recovery
I realize these instructions assume some levels of knowledge so if you need more details ask
I have done all you said and now have a rooted dna! the only problem is every time I select reboot from the cwm it just reboots to the recovery and not the actual phone? Any Idea of whats going on here?
ah it sounds like you wiped your rom before you transferred a new one to your phone
did you do a backup of your stock rom?
this recovery isnt perfect i dont think you can mount the sd card in it to transfer files
if you have no backup and no rom package on your phone and you wiped your stock installed rom then ive actually never come into this situation
im sure it can be resolved easily, let me test some stuff on my phone ill get back to you in a bit.
in the meantime does anyone else have any suggestion for this?
maybe team win recovery can mount sd?

I did not make a backup and I don't have any roms on the phone. I'm not exactly sure of how all this happened and I would really like to get everything worked out.
ok you can install the TWRP recovery and sideload the rom
you can google the info about how to do it, i dont know much about sideload
here is the TWRP recovery, flash it the same way as the other
http://techerrata.com/file/twrp2/dlx/openrecovery-twrp-2.6.0.0-dlx.img
info about sideloading http://teamw.in/ADBSideload
have you decided on a rom yet? id recommend a sense5 like digital dream or BAMF by joelz, thats what ive ran for a while now
if you want to get this done in a more timely manner you can chat me on skype its bigvtec916

It seems as if I can sideload from cwm as well. And how could I install the twrp recovery if I cant boot into the desktop
I would like to either install a sense 5 rom like you suggested or cyanogen mod. Im not so sure how to flash the twrp recovery if im only in the cwm recovery.
you can hold power and vol down, once it reboots after about 10 sec you let go of power and keep holding vol down till you see the bootloader screen, you can flash the recovery using adb like you did to get cwm on
ok never mind I figured out how to get the twrp flashed. now I will try to sideload
I would like to skype but I didnt build my pc with a camcorder. I can still do sound though, tell me if your okay with that. Ok now when I try to sideload it tells me that it cant find the device? not sure what that is.
i was just going to skype for chatting with text so its not like post and wait and refresh, takes forever
in the recovery there is a setting you activate to sideload you are using that right?

If your on 2.3.4 that's your issue.those kernels won't work for it.pull battery.hold power and volume down go into recovery when battery is put back in..

I did that but when i choose recovery it boots to the htc logo and then keeps rebooting ...
no one knows what i can do ? :/ is there a way to reset the phone without recovery ?
You pulled the battery? Cause if you don't and fastboot is on.its would do that.
sent from my badass EVO 3D running Kaos Hybrid 4.20 using tapatalk
yes i did it just as you said ...
If you still can't get into recovery or the phone continuously bootloops after the battery pull, just run the latest RUU.
What is a RUU and how do i run it ? Do you have a link ? Thanks for the replies.
Have you taken the latest OTA, or have you ran revolutionary on your phone?
yes i have revolutionary on the phone
Go here, download the .exe with the 1.13.651.7, and run it as admin.
thanks, Is it a problem if i'm not on sprint? cause i'm in france and got the gsm version.
Yes, that would be a problem...try this thread and see if your version is listed.
i guess i'll try the "europe" one... if i dont risk to brick my phone by doing so ...
Tried and didn't work wasn't the good one... I hope i will find the good one soon i'll bookmark your link hoping that my version will be upped...
Thank you for your help.
Did you solve the problem?
Hi I just have the same problems like you ... I am in France, and after installing a new kernel, the phone is an a restarting loop.
I can go to the recovery mode (revolutionary) , I have tried to install different kernel and different ROM, but it alwas failed...
Thanks
MikRunny problems
I have a similar problem.
I tried installing MikRunny, (I flashed the boot.img multiple times, and did a full wipe, multiple times), but I keep getting a bootloop.
I fastbooted the boot.img, and I replaced the boot.img in the kernel map in MikRunny.zip.
My phone is (according to recovery) S-OFF, Revolutionary, 1.49 HBOOT, GSM.
That was the problem, the boot.img was not for GSM, but for CDMA.
But yet, I replaced it, and it still doesn't work...

Search Google, Rootzwiki, and XDA for an SD bootable CWM or TWRP recovery image for the phone. Use all terms for the Evo 3D (shooter, 3vo, E3D, and even the HTC model number, which is PG86100). Write it to a microSD with dd in Linux or Win32DiskImager in Windows. After it's done writing, just drop your zips onto the card as you normally would and place it back into the phone. Proceed to recovery as you normally would. Wipe system, data, cache, dalvik cache, and battery stats. Now flash your ROM zip and follow it with your GAPPS zip. Reboot system and pray for the best. If you need any more assistance or help, feel free to PM me. Hope this helps, I know how bricking a phone feels. Just remember that there's no such thing as a permanent brick, unless you hit it with a real brick .

Hey i ran into this problem yesterday flashing this Kernel...i used the flash gui app...what happened was it booted after it flashed....and it stuck in bootloop...i tried reflashing it the regular way just through cwm and it wasnt doing anything...so i did a google search on how to flash kernels on hboot 1.5 this is what i got...http://youtu.be/HclYpo0ZR3s that youtube video shows how to flash the kernel....THE WAY I KNEW HOW TO....but he says at the end there is a backup way to flash kernels..he says its longer but it also works just as good he says that you fastboot flash it via command prompt...so this gave me an idea...he says open up command prompt and prompt it to the folder you have used to unlock the device...unzip the boot.img file from the kernel your using in command prompt youd type fastboot flash boot boot.img....THIS NEXT PART I THOUGHT OF MYSELF. i removed the boot.img from the rom i was using and flashed that first AND FLASHED THE EXACT ROM I REMOVED THE BOOT.IMG FROM TO GET IT ROOTED. Not only did i solve my original kenel problem where my radios were jacked up BUT, i also got this kernel to work, and my synergy rom to work with the kernel, everything works and i was unbricked...I HOPE ANYBODY WHO RUNS INTO THIS PROBLEM DOES THIS AND THEY ARE OK.
Hello,
I've been all over google and this site for the last two days trying to find a way to get my Evo 3d work! I tried searching the forum and unfortunately i kept getting server errors So i figured I would make a new thread in the hopes of figuring this out!
What happened:
I went through the rooting process, and I went to flash a ROM on to the phone and it would not load pass the HTC screen. I had a ROM on there of the stock version of the Sprint Evo 3d, unfortunately it wasn't the proper version and it did not allow 4G and such. So i tried to place another ROM on to the SD Card and flash it over, and for some dumb reason, I deleted the version of the Stock Rom that atleast enabled me to get the phone to turn all the way on. All I'm able now is to boot up to recovery, but I can't figure out what ROM to download to place on the phone to get me back to square one!!!
Help please!!

Hi jerseybizzle, I can certainly try to help you but you have to help me first.
1. Are you doing a factory reset and wiping dalvik cache before flashing?
2. What hboot version do you have?
3. Is your phone s-on or s-off?
4. Which rom did you try to flash that wouldn't boot?

If it was an ics Rom and you are having bootloops, it is most likely because you are s-on. I recommend getting s-off. The wire trick is easy to do, but you need to be careful.

Did you flash the rom through fastboot? If you just booted into your recovery and attempted to flash the ICS version of that rom coming from GB it won't work since you still have S-ON and that doesn't let you flash certain things like kernels. You can still flash roms but you have to take a couple extra steps or achieve S-OFF.
To get your phone working again...
If you were just coming from a stock rooted rom before attempting to flash a new rom, simply download a stock rooted rom from the dev section, put it on your SD card, boot into recovery, wipe and reflash. Your phone should then boot up again.

I'm guessing it was the ics version of vipermod, and since you're s-on your boot image didn't flash. So you're trying to boot an ics rom with a gingerbread kernel.
If you want to use an ics rom, you have a few choices. My favorite... Put a recovery image in the folder on your computer that has fastboot in it. Put the phone in fastboot mode and type in the command window, fastboot boot recovery.img, make sure that you name the recovery image on your comp. to "recovery.img". It should boot to recovery and you can flash away.
Something that's easier is to use 4ext recovery smart flash. I'm sure it works but I've never used it.
If you want to get back to your stock rom unrooted rom you could run an ruu.
Also, take coals advice and s-off that phone, you won't have nearly as many issues once you s-off, and you can use one of the splash screens in my Sig

Here's an idea, get flash image GUI, its free here at xda, google it. Then use it to flash the kernel from the stock rom that you have running and reboot. This should fix your WiFi. Let me know if I'm not being clear enough.

So, it sounds like wifi turns on just fine, you just get the error when attempting to connect to a network?
Have you tried resetting your router and rebooting your phone? Maybe remove that network from your saved preferences and resign in.

If the app that was suggested to didn't do the trick, hit the stickies in the dev section on how to flash a rom with hboot 1.5 S-ON. I recommend the fastboot method, however, if you're so inclined, you can also go the route of getting S-OFF.
Most likely, some problems occurred when you tried to flash that ROM before and broke your wifi. So, if I were you, I'd grab a ROM (that viper ics should be fine if you still got it) and flash it through fastboot using a guide in the dev section. Be sure to read and understand the guide before attempting it.
The guide would be something like this...
1. Install the appropriate drivers and place a recovery on your PC.
2. Boot into your boot loader, select fast boot, and connect your device to your PC via USB.
3. Open a command prompt on your computer, switch to the directory containing drivers/recovery image
4. Type fastboot boot thenameofyourrecovery.img
5. Install the rom as you otherwise normally would using your phone, wiping data, clearing caches, installing zip.
NOTE: The above is not a guide, just an illustration of the guide you're looking for in the dev section.
Flashing a rom by this method allows you to flash roms with non stock kernels, so you can pretty much flash any rom made for your phone. This is the method I have used since day 1 and have never experienced any problems. You may also want to look into getting S-OFF, but I can't say much about that because I haven't done it myself (being content flashing through fastboot).
Hope this helps.

Which cm rom exactly? I thought the camera works with all the cm roms. It sounds like you still have kernel issues, and until you figure out how to flash a kernel or boot image, you'll always have these types of issues, bootloop, broken WiFi/camera. I know that the instructions that flonker gave you are intimidating but after you've done it once you'll see how simple it is.
One limitation of HTC dev unlocking is that you can't write to the boot partition from recovery, the kernel resides in the boot partition. You can, however, write to boot from within the android system. That's why flash image GUI is so handy for people with s-on and HTC dev unlocked. Just open the app, find the rom you'd like to flash and select it, the GUI will extract the kernel from the rom zip and flash it. Then you just boot into recovery and flash the same rom that you selected with the GUI. It'll flash everything but the boot image, but that's ok because you already flashed the kernel with flash image GUI. Make sure you do a factory reset and wipe the dalvik cache.
When I was s-on I always chose fastbooting to recovery, when you do that it actually loads the recovery onto the boot partition and gives you permission to write to boot, so its like flashing should be. Just wipe, flash, enjoy.
Hope this helps.

I have been flashing roms and kernels and such for awhile on several different phones and literally almost everything you said makes no sense and that goes for the other guy 2 posts above yours. WTF is flash image GUI? Is that an app, you never even say.
The other guy is telling him to flash a rom but describes to him how to flash a recovery image to his phone...have you guys ever done this before or are you just making stuff up as you go?

Yes I do, I was looking for information and I read the entire thread. Just because they posted it a year ago doesn't make the info any less wrong.
I have experience rooting in the past but not on this phone.
I tried rooting using the manual method a couple months ago and it did not go all the way through. At one point during the root process when I had to reboot into the bootloader manually the phone entirely rebooted since the evo lte is kind of a pain to reboot into the bootloader.
Now it seems I am in a state of limbo as the phone actually has a recovery on it, but it is not rooted as i tried to use titanium backup. I have also tried to use the regawmod now that it works with version 22.13.651.1 but I can an unhandled exception error after pressing the root me button.
I assume something isnt playing nice with each other since my first attempt at rooting didnt go all the way through but did install the recovery. I actually tried to install the newest sprint update and it got stuck popping up the custom recovery. I think it would be best to revert back to completely stock and try again but i am not sure how to do so. appreciate any help!

I didnt realize that would actually work! When it popped up in recovery I could go to install from sdcard I just wasnt sure if there would be consequences doing so. So I could reboot into the bootloader, go into recovery and flash a rooted rom from there just like always and it would give me root? That would be awesome

Hello everyone
I have S-OFF HTC Droid DNA everything go well Normally available.
After that, I have a big problem with HTC Droid Dna can not boot stuck on HTC LOGO.
I can not do anything with it cannot flash official rom.
Is there any way I can fix it.
Please help
thank you
There is a section called Droid DNA Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting, that would be a good place to post a question about a device your having trouble with. But regardless of posting in the wrong section you haven't provided nearly enough information for anyone to help you.
As you describe the state of the device you should have no problem flashing an RUU via fastboot and fully restoring the phone to a stock like condition (still s-off). My point here is that your going to need to explain exactly what you did to get here so someone can provide you with the right steps to fix your issue.

Yeah do you have a custom recovery? Where you completely stock before you got boot loops?

I have custom recovery. but the custom recovery Error "Os cannot Install" and Request Root .
and the stock rom can be used normally after s-off and Wipe data trying to install custom rom but failed.
thank you for help
Format your memory in your custom recovery and that should get u back to be able to flash a ROM or ruu to stock.

1.can not boot

3.can not root
please Help
What error are you getting when you try to install a custom rom?
What ROM are you trying to install?
Have you tried re-downloading that ROM?
Did you make sure to wipe cache, dalvik, data, and system?
Root would normally be installed with the custom ROM, if not you can always install SuperSU after you install the ROM, which TWRP normally offers to install for you, or via a flashable zip (http://download.chainfire.eu/370/SuperSU/)
If you have adb tools installed you can also sideload the ROM. (adb sideload ROM-NAME.zip)
Your best bet would be to follow this guild to return to 100% stock. Hope this helps, just make sure to read through the guild carefully.

ADB Sideload This Great i can boot to cm10.2 suscessfull
thank you verry very thank you
this thread started out pretty bad but OP gave it a perfect ending, posting the solution to his problem instead of just closing his browser like so many others do.
Sweet happy to see we got you up and running.
Thank You Everybody Again.
i am very happy and enjoy to install Custom Rom.
So I've tried researching this slight issue and I have seen a lot of different solutions but none of them apply to my particular problem. My phone works just fine when booted regularly and charges just fine. The only time I'm having an issue is if I boot into recovery. I just installed twrp 2.7.0.3 and tried to reboot in order to flash supersu. No dice. I've tried rebooting into fastboot and reflashing and I've tried the M8 toolkit. Reflashing works, but still won't boot to recovery and the toolkit just hangs trying to flash the file. I think that's where my issue lies. I waited 19 minutes and eventually closed the program and just rebooted. I'm thinking this caused an issue and corrupted my recovery but i figured reflashing would solve this.
I was wondering if someone could clarify this for me, in which i'll just sit tight and wait until an ruu releases and stick with stock sense. The phone works perfectly so I can deal for a little while. I was just hoping to move to the GPe rom and get xposed running on it.
Thanks yall. I'll keep searching until I have to go to work and if I find a solution before anyone responds I'll update this post so it can be locked.
I would make sure you adb files are up to date, and try flashing philz recovery instead.

Are you using philz instead? I flashed twrp and it's very buggy. Did you fastboot flash recovery etc...? How can I install philz over twrp?
Thanks

yeah im using philz, have been since it came out as i thought the same about twrp, tons of issues.
definitely 'fastboot flash recovery philz_touch_6.25.5-m8.img'
It'll apply itself right over your current recovery no problem :good:

Seems like every problem in here is when someone uses a toolkit. IMO it is easier just to use the commands. There is nothing wrong with twrp as most people including myself are using it flawlessly. Download fresh copy of twrp. Make sure you get .img file, not .zip. Boot your phone, plug in and type "adb reboot bootloader" it will reboot to fastboot, if not, you do not have newest adb drivers, get this fixed before moving on. once in bootloader type "fastboot reboot-bootloader" this will just reboot your boot loader and let you know fastboot is working. If not fix this. next move to your directory with twrp and type "fastboot flash recovery twrp***.img" should only take 5 seconds. next type fastboot reboot to make sure system is still booting. Then type "adb reboot recovery" and it should go to twrp. Make sure you are getting the UL_CA twrp and not the whl. whl is for sprint and will not work. let me know. UL_CA is not available on official site. search the xda forums for it.
I actually tried the commands first and couldn't get it that's why I tried the toolkit. That's actually what ended up working for me though, but at least I'm good to go! I should have updated this a few days ago but forgot lol this thread can be locked if a mod wants to. Thanks all
