Hi there,
I unlocked my HTC 3d Evo GSM Uk phone and installed ClockworkMod Recovery v 5.0.2.0 and tried to install a ROM. Now phone is stuck at HTC boot screen. I can go to fast boot but recovery is not possible as phone goes to yellow circle with hat image and nothing happens. Any help Please please please
Download the ruu for your phone. If you have unlocked bootloader you will need to do this a little different but for now.. get the ruu. Boot into hboot then go into fast boot.. connected your phone to your PC and run the ruu.... this will take you back to factory.. it is possible to dissect the rom and customize it all but that is something to worry about another day

What hboot do you have? Are you S-ON? If you have 1.53.xxxx hboot then you can install only roms available for this hboot (mostly ICS based on stock Sense, but sense 4.1 available too). Flashing with 4ext recovery with smartflash enabled is the only option if you are S-ON. To install any other rom you must S-OFF your phone.

So, do you have adb/fastboot drivers installed on your computer? If not install them and reboot your phone on fastboot mode. You need fastboot executables from AndroidSDK (from google developer site) to install the 4ext recovery. Download the recovery here and move it on the sdk folder on platform-tools. While on fastboot open a command prompt on this folder (right click on the folder) execute the command "fastboot flash recovery 4EXT_Recovery_Touch_v1.0.0.6_RC1.img" without the quotes, you can rename the file to whatever you like and change the "4EXT......RC1.img" with the name you choose. After the flash completes you must reboot on recovery using the volume buttons from fastboot. Go on settings and you will find the 4ext smartflash, enable it. Search for roms on development and try them, if you like sense the only supported roms out there is I think Yet Another Sense and mwakious3drom. Otherwise you can choose a senseless ICS based on sense or MIUI rom.

This time I am using YAS v11 and it's very good a week now. I used cm11 and cool ics. I like the mwakious rom for its features but I don't want sense 3.6. If I had to choose between theese I would choose YAS because I like the sense interface and its the only sense 4.1 supported by devs. You can always try yourself some roms and see which suits you. If you have any boot problems, unzip the rom, take the boot.img and flash on fastboot like the recovery, this time with "fastboot flash boot boot.img". For any aosp roms you need to downgrade your hboot and s-off your phone.

Many Thanks mhnx, there was a problem of boot which was solved by fastboot flash boo boot.img way. Hurray I got my phone back, thanks to you. was able to install YAS4 v11. Dont know about other roms. Is there any other less painful way of flashing roms.
How do I can install original HTC 3D EVO Rom and in this the 3D features are not working in camera.
Thank you again

To flash other roms from 4.1Jb and up you have to s-off and downgrade your hboot. I really dont know why your camera doesn't work, did you perform clean install (wipe etc.)?? If not try to do it. For stock rom you must run the RUU for your carrier model of phone. You can find on our forums the RUU you need. I' m happy your phone is back to life.

In reply to your inquiry about the stock rom, I've found over my months of lurking that many links don't work. This is the best site I've found so far for RUUs, and the one that personally took me back to stock today when all else had failed:

I hope you do not mind, that I also ask a question related to yours:
I encountered a similar issue today, when I tried to flash a new ROM. I followed mhnx's instructions and updated my 4EXT recovery from 1.0.0.5 to 1.0.0.6_RC1.
My bootloader states:

Does the log of recovery contain any errors while installing? Check the md5 of downloaded file. If you're s-off be sure to disable smartflash. Try to re-flash the recovery too.

Thank you for your answer!
When I first tried to install a new ROM (CM11 ....) I got an error, which was caused by 4EXT (--> it was still on 1.0.0.5, see error is described here). When I now try to install a new ROM (such as a CM11- or CM10.2-ROM - the files are not corrupted, I tried multiple ones), I do not get an error during the installation process - the phone simply does not go beyond the HTC logo.
Shall I flash 4EXT 1.0.0.6_RC1 again or do you prefer another recovery?

Wipe all partitions except sdcard and mount system, data and boot on mount options. Install again and see if this helps. If not I would suggest flashing a ruu and see if stock rom starts. If you want to change a recovery you will be able to flash only roms until 4.3jb. Try it and if it succesfully boot install the 4ext application and get the recovery from there.

I've newly rooted the phone. I haven't put on a new custom ROM, but surely I should be able to overclock it with SetCPU. The highest frequency I can get is 1188 which is probably the standard clock speed.
Anyone know how to get it higher, without a custom ROM?
Sent from my HTC EVO 3D X515m using XDA
You need an OC kernel for that. And if you are S-ON you can't do that.
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1495657
Follow this thread to achieve S-OFF status if your device is unbranded or vodafone branded then install a kernel like leedroid's, mine is running on 1.5ghz atm.
Edit: You can actually install kernels while S-ON, but I'd get S-OFF if I was you as you'll have trouble when ICS comes out.

You also need a kernel that supports overclocking. I prefer Anryl because in my opinion it's the most stable and the battery friendliest of them all. You can flash it with an app calld "Flash image GUI".
Can I use that kernel with the original Sense ui?
Because all I did was Roy my phone with recovery and have done nothing else.

Yes and no. The kernel has to state that it works with Sense 3.0 if you want a smooth oc kernel try Anthrax, it overclocks to 1.5ghz which should be enough, anything higher will just over heat your phone and make it unstable.

If you are s-on, the only way is to use the Flash Image GUI app. If you have problems, just re-load the stock kernel with that app.

do a nandroid backup with 4ext recovery , then if you want to restore to stock kernel , just restore the system and boot partition.
If you backup using different recovery, you cannot restore the backup with another recovery....
Just double checking before I take the plunge:
I take it that my current CWM Revolutionary recovery will not be good enough to backup and install a new kernel? Is that correct? And that the only way to do this is to use the new 4ext recovery instead?

Your current recovery is good and works well for both S-on and S-OFF phones..... but the only issue is S-on users can't flash kernels directly with CWM , You will either have to use PC to boot CWM recovery on your phone to flash kernels , or you can use 4ext recovery and enable its smart flash feature to flash kernels if you don't want to use PC.
But make sure 4ext supports gsm EVO 3d..

Can someone help me please, I'm getting really frustrated as flashing kernels etc, seems a little more complex than it did with the HTC Hero.
I am trying to flash this kernel, I have S-ON, with Sense 3 and when I use 4EXT to flash the akernel_v10.08.zip it says:
assert failed: write_raw_image ("/tmp/newboot.img", "bcot")
E:Error in /sdcard/akernel_v10.08.zip
(Status 7)
Installation aborted.
So then the instruction in the first post for Anryl Kernel says if you have S-On do this:
•for s-on download boot.img and flash via fastboot flash boot boot.img
but I don't know how to do this. I have downloaded the boot1008.img renamed it to boot.img on the root of my sdcard - but I can't find any option to install it in 4EXT or in the Fastboot (<- i assume fastboot is when you power off and hold volume down and power on - that menu).
Can someone please help?
I don't have s-on but if I'm not mistaken
you have to put a copy of the boot.img into your fastboot folder on your pc. Then power your phone into hboot by holding volume down and tapping the power button. Keep holding the volume button down untill you see the white hboot screen. It will say hboot on the screen to verify your in hboot mode. Then open up your command prompt and type cd then hit enter then type
c:\AndroidSDK\platform-tools\
Then type
fastboot flash boot boot.img
It should allow you to flash the boot.

Hey guys and gals! So i've been flashing roms and mods for a few years now since the og evo but still very much noob. I was using mean rom, updating every couple of releases. on one of them he recommended flashing ext4 recovery which i did and then flashed the rom update. Everything worked fine for about an hour then the lockring started to not want to open, i would have to drag it up 3 or 4 times real fast. then soft keys started not to work and got progresivly worse to the point now once i open something i have to reboot to get back to home screen.
Thinking it was recovery i flashed back to cwm and same thing, flashed backups made well before it started acting up and same thing. Flashed different roms still the same.
Any ideas??? Thanx for any help.
Bump. I have this same problem
Are you s-off or s-on? What hboot version are you on? This information matters because flashing incompatible roms and kernels tends to cause problems. I take it since your on ics using meanrom that your problem is more than likely a kernel and or recovery issue. 4ext recovery is the best recovery used for ics roms. It's not recommended to use clockwork mod or restore backups recoveries formatted particular recovery with a different recovery. If you are on hboot 1.58 you must flash the 1.58 kernel in the meanrom folder added to your files after installation. Make sure you do a full clean wipe before installation of rom. Wipe dalvik and cache before you flash kernel.
Please hit the thanks button if I helped you.

But did not work, tried flashing a different rom but did not work also. It will go into recovery which was twrp but switched it to Ext4. So whatever I try it will just go into the HTC logo and get stuck there. I am at a loss, Please Help.

I had this exact same issue after trying to flash Myn's ICS ROM with Touch Recovery on 1.5 s-on..How I was finally able to fix it was to delete the 4 ext folder off my SD card.

Happens to me too!
To flash a new ROM, go to your computer, Command Prompt , type in the direction of your recovery. ex= cd\evo3dTWRP, then type in "fastboot boot recovery.img (or whatever the name of your recovery img is), press enter and your phone should boot into Recovery. Wipe all data, then flash ROM.
BTW: Do you have Smartflash Enabled in 4EXT,?
Well bootloader is working and the recovery is too, I used twrp but noticed it wasn't working so I flashed 4ext. But for some reason it won't boot up roms (of any kind) or even restore my backup. The recoveries will restore or flash the rom. But once I reboot the phone it will just get stuck on the HTC logo. Yeah smartflash is and was enabled.

GSM, S-on, H boot 1.49.0018, I used HTC dev to root it. Revolutionary CWM v4.0.1.4
I unlocked my GSM Evo3D bootloader using the HTCDev.com method.
I had the Cool Rom, Cool ICS v8 running fine. I would flash the boot image via fast boot “fastboot flash boot boot.img”
All was fine, the battery wasn’t lasting long enough and I decided to change ROM to see what else was on offer.
I did full wipe and deleted dalvik cache.
I flashed the mwakious3Drom ROM, from version 7? As stated to do, this booted up fine and I restarted this and used the phone for a few minutes.
I then tried to upgrade this to version 10 using the correct method and that’s when the problem started the phone was stuck on the splash screen when turned on
I tried again to flash the kernel, because searches for threads all say flash the kernel via fast boot and this has just had me stuck on the htc boot logo the phone restarts every time and this continues.
I tried another rom to see if this would fix it and I tried the King Cobra rom. everything seems to flash fine and then I get stuck on the Splash screen of the ROM.
In a last attempt I tried a shipped ROM (getting the rom from the exe when extracted etc) and I have had no luck, it will not flash (maybe for an obvious reason, I even tried the boot image, no luck)
I have had a desire, desire HD and incredible s before this windows mobile phones, I generally do not have problems but was stupid enough to not do a backup so there is nothing to restore! I hardly have had a problem so tried to save on the space (idiot).
I have a Desire HD and I can flash roms fine, I have clearly made a silly mistake somewhere but I cannot get anything at the minute to work as a fix.
If someone could advise that would be great and I would change the title to have an answer to help others in the future.
Thank you I appreciate your help.

etc. Probably because I don't have them?)
You just have to mount USB from CWM and then you can control your phones memory from your computer after the drivers have installed themselves after you plugged your phone into the computer
Just go into mounts and storage in cwm and you will see the option to mount USB.
It can't mount the drives because you deleted them but it should be okay if you just mount USB and drag drop the ROM onto your device.
I also suggest to call claims and let them know you want them to send you a sky rocket instead if they sent you the desire in place of the old captivate. The screen on the desire had issues. Do this asap if you don't want to be stranded without a working phone. It happened to me and I had to pull the battery a few times. I was pretty upset to be quite honest.

Which is why I suggest getting s-off. Most issues I see with bootloops etc come from s-on users. See the GSM stickies for the steps.

You can flash any of the custom ICS roms with the base 3.28.401.1
You can NOT flash any of the custom ICS roms with the base 3.28.707.1
without the new radio and firmware the 707 base will not install and will go into a constant bootloop.
of course you know to use lastest 4ext recovery or "fastboot flash boot boot.img" command on the 401 roms.

Worked great when I tried a ROM with a 401 base. I didn't realise this caused issues.
I wasn't doing a great deal wrong then was I. The only thing is the king cobra ROM should have worked.
Thanks again for the quick reply.

I will most likely go for s-off I'll have a go at the weekend .... But would I be right in thinking I could simply install 4ext touch recovery instead of CWM recovery and end up able to then flash any ROM with any base?

4ext does a great job of flashing any GB Rom including kernel with S-on, but s-on people flashing ICS with it still seem to have problems for some reason. That's why I always suggest s-off.

I normally use the anthrax hybrid kernel to flash ics and it works fine I was s-on til last night. I'm also on cdma so it may not apply but you should research before you flash any rom to make sure something extra isn't required

Can you flash boot.img from fastboot? If you can flash the boot.img from Negalite zip. Can you enter 4ext recovery? Try reinstalling the drivers.

hi,
i am new to rooting but i tried and succeed and now i really want to try yas4 rom, and i also downloaded and
installed successfully but after rebooting my device, it sucked at htc logo, i tried different kernel (mirage
& howpathetic) via aroma modifications but no use, perhaps device is having bootloop.
my device details are
htc evo 3d x515m, GSM, fingerprint asia/india
shooter_u, hboot 1.53.0007, radio 11.25.3504.06_M, OpenDSP-v02.6.0.2226.00.0202, unlocked & rooted but s-on
(as this rom is s-on compatible, so i didn't try of s-off it)
if anybody knows, how to install this rom, kindly help.
thanks in advance.

What recovery are you using? Download this and flash it from fastboot. Enable 4ext smartflash and reflash the rom. If it doesn't boot again extract the rom and flash the boot.img from fastboot. If you have any question quote me to get notified.

it works.
a big thanks bro, it worked. I earlier used clockworkmod recovery but as you suggested when i used 4ext recovery with smartflash enabled, it worked in first try, thanks a lot.:good:
Hi, I have a HTC EVO 3D, HBOOT- 1.53.007 that's stuck on bootloop after I tried to install PACMAN. I didn't get the S-OFF...don't know if this could have contributed to that.

Install a stock 4.0.3 (sense/aosp themed etc) with smartflash on at 4ext recovery and your phone will boot normal.

Thanks...but is it too much to ask how I can go about doing all of this? I'm kinda klutz with this that's why I ended up bricking my phone btw don't I need 4ext to be already on the phone? All I have now is the clockwise or whatever it was thing on it. P.S: the original O.S isn't on the phone anymore cuz I went into something and it was removed

Did you unlock the bootloader on HTC dev? Did you install any custom recovery? How did you install PACMAN rom?

I did unlock the bootloader and I had installed 4ext recovery. During the process, PACMAN just kept rebooting the phone and I got so frustrated. I followed some other trend to rectify it, but I ended up taking off 4ext and the original O.S from the phone

So you have to reflash the 4ext and download a rom. You can find Here the 4ext recovery. Flash it through fastboot and after that you can enter 4ext and flash any ics sense-based rom and your phone will boot.

Did you install 4ext or tried only the ruu? If you can enter recovery I can help you on what to do there.

I can't install either of them cause my computer doesn't read the phone. I have CWM still on the and that's the only time I can actually mount the phone via USB to gain access to the SD card
