[Q] Cannot boot into Roms - HTC EVO 3D

Hey guys I am using a Sprint Htc Evo 3d. I had many problems with my phone and I had a bootloop occur. I fixed this by relocking my phone, then using the RUU. Then I unlocked my phone, then flashed the recovery. Now I am trying to flash any Roms such as Superuser, PG86img and Mean Rom 4.5. I tried every one of them and I restart the phone then it stays at the HTC logo and then boots into the HTC logo again and then goes into the 4ext recovery. Can anyone help?

Remember to enable the smartflash feature (In Tools section) before installing the rom

Bricked 3D

I have a Evo 3d, hboot 1.50 latest radios, prl, pri. I had OMJ's latest Rom, and used Flash Image Gui to flash a custom Kernel package; I flashed Tiamuts "Tiamat_E3D-v1.1.0-Sense" http://downloads.tiamat-dev.com/8x60/110/Tiamat_E3D-v1.1.0-Sense.zip, and rebooted, then my phone was locked up on just the HTC screen.
I can still access the Bootloader, and Fastboot, and Recovery. I tried rolling back to my nandroid backup, and also reflashing the stock kernel through recovery (as the Rom won't ully load), and now all I get is a black screen after the HTC logo, and the phone is responsive to power and capacitive buttons, but no display at all.
Tried full wipe, and reflash of OMJ, even CleanRom.... Just black screen after HTC logo.... Any Ideas ? With Bootloader, Fastboot, and Recovery, you'd think I could unbrick, but no luck.
I'm sorry... I'm not a complete noob, I've been on the scene since early TP2s, and always rooted and custom rom’ed my Evo 4g.... Please help guys. Thanks in advance.

Since you're on the HTC unlock method, in order for the custom recovery to properly work, i.e. flash all partitions including the kernel/boot partition, you have to access the custom recovery differently than the traditional method.
The proper command and method to access the custom recovery in order for the HTC unlock method to grant it write access to the kernel/boot partition is through fastboot. The full command is: fastboot boot c:\cwm-recovery.img . Once you've temporarily fastboot booted the custom recovery, you can then properly flash a ROM or restore a nandroid as both will be allowed write access to the kernel/boot partition.
Appreciate your support in using my application! Hope that helps!
Deleted my own question. I think I found a thread where it will be more appropriate.
Like joeykrim stated, you must access the recovery from fastboot to be able to flash kernels, nandroids and what not from recovery if you used HTC's method to unlock you phone. You are not bricked. It is fully fixable.
I have Clockwork Recovery flashed, always have (the only version compatible with Hboot 1.50, v4.0.1.4). I still have full access to the Bootloader, Customer Recovery, and Fastboot. But despite reflashing a fresh Rom (2 in fact), full wipes, reflashing boot.img with stock kernel; all the phone will do is boot past the HTC screen, vibrate, and the screen goes black. Capacitive buttons are responsive, and so is the power button, just no display. ...... Idk what else to Flash to get this phone booting again, any ideas ?
I had same problem I have 1 file name PG86IMG.zip I don't remember from where I downloaded 1st Iplaced this on SD root folder and turn on phone with volume down and power button and it care of everything

You arent bricked if you can still get into fastboot, recovery, etc. I would recommend using this app called Flash Image GUI on the market, it's only $0.99 and I am (as we speak) flashing ziggy's dual core kernel. Oh wait my phone rebooted now. Its fast as all get out and my WiFi works (yay). But like I said this method is the EASIEST way to flash kernels!

I think the file you're referring to is the RUU (ROM Update Utility) file which can be placed in the root of the sdcard as PG86IMG.zip and flashed to competely reload all stock software (radios, system, kernel, etc) on the device.
These files are available at http://goo-inside.me/shooter/ruu.

Seems as if there is some issue with the display. If you confirm you have adb access to the device, I would think the issue lies in the android /system. If you don't have adb access, I would think the issue lies in the kernel/ramdisk.
Either way, if you want to eliminate both issues, reflash my Stock ROM - [ROM] joeykrim-original-1.2.0 Odex *Stock Rooted 2.08.651.2*, which will reload the stock kernel and the stock system with only adding in root access. I run this ROM as my daily ROM and it works great for keeping the phone stock but allowing root access.
Make sure to access the custom recovery through, fastboot boot c:\android\cwm-recovery.img . If you load the custom recovery through adb reboot recovery, or bootloader and selecting recovery from the menu, the HTC unlock method will not grant recovery write access to the kernel/boot partition.
Worse case, my stock ROM with stock Kernel doesn't resolve the display issue, you should flash the stock RUU files at http://goo-inside.me/shooter/ruu . If that doesn't resolve the issue, you'll prob need to exchange/return the device as it would seem to be a hardware issue.
Hope that helps! Good luck!

cant get any ics roms to work

Hey guys,
I cant get any ice roms to work although they seem to be installed correctly. I tried cm9 and the s4x ones. I'm on an EVO 3d gsm with s-on and revolutionary cwm. Running on leedroids rom. So when I install them I reset back to factory then install it. So far so good but after I restart I'm stuck on the HTC bootscreen.
There are several options available to you:
1. Get S-OFF (isn't required thanks to number 2 & 3)
2. Get 4Ext Recovery. It will flash the kernel when you flash the ROM.
3. flash boot.img through fastboot (fastbot flash boot boot.img)
now i just need to know where i get this infamous boot.img^^
alrighty all done thanks for the help

Help with rooting

Hi,
I'm running a Vodafone HOX+ with
Android: 4.1.1
Sense: 4+
Software: 1.14.161.18
HTC SDK API: 4.63
HTC Extension: Sense45_1
Kernel: 3.1.10-g262c6aa
Baseband: 3.1204.167D.31
Build: 1.14.161.18 CL122573
CID: VODAP102
Now I'd like to root it an run Evolution HD 5.1 on it.
Could someone point me at the most important threads in order to get me through the process.
I already loaded the ROM. Do I need to flash a Firmware as well?
What role does my CID play with regard to rooting?
I'm no complete noob. I rooted and flashed several ROMs to a defy+. Pain in the ass BTW.
Used Clockwork mod back then. Eversince I had Clockwork mod on it, flashing new ROMs was very easy from that point.
Thanks in Advance.

Probably the best one, Its all in one!
I followed the instructions. When I got to "Flash your kernel" I flashed the Kernel delivered by the Android HD Revolution 5.1 thread.
Now my phone won't boot. I just get the white screen with the htc logo. Is this a boot loop?
Pretty much. Did you flash a recovery after you unlocked your bootloader?
I accidentally flashed "your own recovery" first. Whatever that may be.
Then I flashed CWM (INTL Model) and after that once again flashed "Your own recovery".
Like the tool said I then put then Boot.IMG into the kernels folder an then ran "Flash kernel".
Now I can hold the off button and the screen goes black for like 3-5 seconds and then it goes on again (without my interaction).
Then it gets back to the htc logo.
Sometimes the red LED above the screen is constantly on. Sometimes it's constantly off.
Please help
I might be wrong but the kernel that comes with that rom is already in the zip file for that rom. So all you have to do if boot your phone into recovery mode and install from sd card the zip file and it should do everything for you unless you have a different kernel!
I went into recovery mode and was able to install the ROM. After it I said reboot and it's still not getting beyond the htc logo...
Do I need to wipe cache or something after installing ROM?
Update:
After installing ROM it's gotten worse. I'm not able to go into recovery mode any longer. I see Clockwordmod Recovery loading, then the phone reboots. Tried several other images, also TWRP, but it's also rebooting.
Somebody ?
I flashed the image that was in the zip after flashing the Rom for several times and then my phone suddenly worked. Thanks for the help

[Q] Stuck in Cyanogenmod Boot Loop

So I was just in a boot loop on my stock ROM that was rooted and I was trying to install a custom ROM but got stuck in a boot loop. So I followed a bunch of things and ended up getting stuck at my carrier logo loading screen. So I found another thing that said to go into recovery (which I did using clockworkmod) and install a new custom ROM (which I did, and that ROM being cyanogenmod). So I installed this new ROM and now I'm back into the boot loop but this time it loops through the cyanogenmod loading screen, the HTC turning on screen, and a plain black off screen. HELP MEE!!!
I suggest using 4ext recovery
If you want any other Rom than stock-based, you need to lower your hboot to 1.5 or lower
You can only change hboot if you are s off
If you are s on, install 4ext recovery and make sure smartflash is enabled.
you need to be sure and wipe all partitions except your sd card.
If it still bootloops, you need to get the boot.IMG from the Rom, and flash it in fastboot USB mode.
