[Q] Please Help! Virgin Mobile HTC Evo 3D Roms - Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

I want to install a jellybean rom but after four days I am about to give up. I have rooted my phone, got s-off and tried to downgrade my hboot to 1.40 so I can install some roms, but I get continuous a boot loop with hboot 1.40. I also tried hboot 1.50 but still the same problem.
The phone came pre-installed with ICS 4.03. Should I give up as I have searched and searched to find a solution?
Thanks in advance.:crying:
It is a on the Virgin Mobile HTC EVO 3D
Currently on hboot 1.58

[Solved] ICS HTC dev custom rom bootloop

Hi everybody!
I have got problem with custom roms :/ I have upgraded to ICS OTA () and then unlocked bootloader via HTC dev, then installed CMW recovery with fastboot. At that moment I had S-On, I have tried to install CM 10 and Virtuous Eclipse but they both had endless boot, so I thought S-Off would help but it is even worse - bootloop, evo restarts after ~5 seconds after bootscreen shows up. I don't know what to do I have tried super-wipe, flash boot.img from rom... Any ideas?
Edit:
Solved (second page)
OK, slow down. More info would help, is your phone Gsm?
Did you flash the new firmware?, what's your hboot ?
Can we assume your phone is s-off?!

Yup, I didn't noticed that is forum for both CDMA and GSM. It is Evo 3D GSM S-off with JuopunutBear (unlimited.io) now it says in bootloader:
Code:
- JuopunutBear -
SHOOTER_U PVT S-OFF RL
HBOOT-1.53.7777
RADIO-11.25.3504.06_M
OpenDSP-v02.6.0.2226.00.0202
eMMC-boot
HBOOT
I have also tried to flash CoolICS Kernel via CMW after CM 10 installing and then EVO endless boots (with rom's kernel it restarts and restarts...)
First issue looks as though u haven't flashed the new firmware pg86img, look for firmware download on first page of op, also 4ext recovery is preferred over cwm

This may be that couse I haven't flashed any pg86img but... (noob question) where can I find firmwares (what did You mean by saying 'op'?)
Here' s link to firmware, original poster ( op) http://d-h.st/Mf1

Ok, I have downloaded firmware into sdcard, booted into bootloader and it updated (10x "ok") but it still reboots (and endless boot with CoolICS Kernel...) Have I done anything wrong?
Do a battery pull, take it out and put it back in and see what happens, had the same issue, now b4 you flashed the ROM did u do a full wipe?

If you want to start clean find one of the available RUUs to reset to default.... (RUU_Shooter_S_Sprint) http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1813818 grim has a list, linked to at the bottom
That said if everything else is failing, don't give up on custom ROMs lol.

I do "wipe data/factory reset" and superWipe. Nothing helps. I don't understand what did you mean by saying "do battery pull", when I take it out, phone will be turned off (wow), when I put it back I can again turn phone on and bootloop again :/
@crimsy
Isn't topic you linked for CDMA only?
Should I downgrade hboot to 1.49? Then, if so, is there tutorial on the forum in GSM development?
Yes, but follow the link for grims RUUs, there's a ton of RUUs for HTC EVO 3Ds

Can I install this ruu (http://www.filefactory.com/dlf/f/c0...00_10.13.9020.08_2M_release_203403_signed.exe) over:
Code:
- JuopunutBear -

HBOOT-1.53.7777
RADIO-11.25.3504.06_M
OpenDSP-v02.6.0.2226.00.0202
eMMC-boot
HBOOT
Solved :laugh:
I have flashed that ruu (RUU_Shooter_U_HTC_Europe_1.20.401.2_Radio_10.53.9020.00_10.13.9020.08_2M_release_203403_signed), it installed hboot, then said it will restart and... error that client ID was wrong! Happily it didn't bricked phone and hboot was downgraded to 1.49.0007 It is still S-off (and shows *locked*) but now, each rom is working!

[Q] Stuck in bootloop...

Hi,
i unlocked my Evo 3d the HTCdev.com way, al working fine and in tried to flash a new rom through CWM recovery (LeeDrOiD_3D_V5.3.0)
Now my unit is staying in a bootloop, the white HTC screens pops up for a few seconds and boots throught to the LeeDrOid bootscreen, you hear the sound for a second and it reboots again.
I Already tried to flash the boot.img extracted from the LeeDrOid manually, but it stays the same.
Did i overlooked something? Did i brick my unit? I dont know...
The following numbers pop up when i boot in the bootloader:
***Unlocked****
SHOOTER-U PVT SHIP S-ON RL
HBOOT-1.53.0007
eMMC-boot
Radio: 11.25.3504.06
What to do? Or do i have a fancy paperweight now?
I think its because you are trying to flash a gingerbread rom. AFAIK its not possible to boot GB on 1.53 hboot. I would suggest trying an ICS rom
So i installed Yoda's ICS v5.1 and now the unit only boots till the white HTC screen and reboots on and on...
maybe if you list the things you tried i could help you more.
factory reset and wipe cache+delvik cache before installing rom?
manually flashed boot.img?
i would suggest getting s-off to save yourself all the hassle
How do i install S-OFF when i cannot fully boot the unit?
Yes, i tried to install Boot.img manually through ABD, but issue still persists.
S-off isnt something to install. I'd recommend you run an RUU and get beck to stock. After that look in the gsm development section you will find a thread for s-offing your phone. It involves the wire trick.

Which RUU should i download, which one do you recommend? And i can do this while connected with Fastboot, isnt it?

I had the very same issue, see my post here for some help http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1897719
I think your hboot is the key; if your unlocked through HTC while on a GB rom then you are limited to GB roms, if you want ICS, you need to re lock, ruu the stock ICS rom, then unlock, then install the custom ICS rom.
I'm no expert but that seemed to fix my issue, i did take the extra step and get S-off, so i truly get full control of my phone.
His hboot is 1.53 which means he did update to ics. Relocking his bootloader and running an RUU should get him to boot into stock rom. Then maybe he can s-off.
There are so many people with 1.53 hboot having problems with every single rom. I didnt take the ota for this exact reason. Revolutionary hboot hasnt given me trouble with any rom.

I just checked the unlimited.io (JBear) website and their modified bootloader for the Evo 3D GSM on ICS is 1.53.5353 so it seems like they support the wire trick with the ICS update, but I agree that it would be better to start by flashing the ICS RUU.exe then HTC unlock and root before doing JuopunutBear.

A bit of searching & reading the op threads can go a long ways.
You need to flash a bootloader 1.50 or lower. To do this you need to be s-off

[Q] HELP ...Software Bricked HTC Evo 3D Sprint ..

I have an htc evo ed from sprint .... hboot 1.58.0000
radio 1.09.00.0108
relocked bootloader
as soon as the phone receives enough power to do anything it turns on and go3es straight into the bootloader / fastboot screen ....
i flashed a custom rom ... called blue or something about a month ago .... i've tried everything that i can think of ... i just want it back stock the way it originally was ... if there is any way to get back stock can someone please let me know ???
Use stock ruu 2.89
Sent from my DOWNGRADED EVO 3D
Do you have s-off or s-on ?
If you have s-off don't install stock rom. Now, when your phone reboot into bootloader, you can give RUU and install it in bootloader, or...try flash RUU via fastboot (really high risk, but i do that and my Evo works).

[Q] How can i get S-Off without a PC?

I am currently running the official Sense 5 RUU with hboot 2.10 and am wondering how I can get S-Off with a computer. I am using an HTC Evo LTE.
