I have tried to flash both Mean ROM ICS and viperROM ICS, but all i get is bootloops. I get to the main screen but all it does is reboot and say Android is Upgrading. BTW: S-ON HBOOT:1.5 Recovery:4EXT Smartflash ON
This is how i flash a ROM
1)From Fastboot boot into 4ext Recovery
2) Install Modified_Superwipe
3)Install the ROM
4) GET BOOTLOOPS!
EDIT:SORRY MENT S-ON

Hm. Maybe just try manually wiping everything from recovery instead? I never use superwipes and as long as I factory data reset x2, wipe cache/dalvik x2, I never have issues. That's just how I've done it on all my phones and I never have issues.
I just flashed Newts One S RC3. It took me a while but I finally found a method that worked. I did it once and got through set-up and was in play store downloading apps when it went into boot loop. I tried the same method again and it didn't work. I messed around with different methods for a while before getting the following to work.
What I'm using:
HTC Unlock method
Hboot 1.5
S-on
cwm recovery 4.0.1.4
I used a computer to fastboot to recovery. Did factory data reset, wipe dalvik, and cache all x2. I installed the .zip rom file from SD card. And then installed the .zip anthrax ics RLS5 kernel file from SD card. Then I rebooted and so far everything is working fine. I've been running it for a couple hours now. I manually downloaded my apps one by one from the play store for fear of repeating what happened to me the first time. And I've just finished signing in to everything I use and haven't had an issue yet.
I hope this helps.

Yes i herd about this but have you tried charging or connecting your phone to a computer, many people can't charge or connect to computer via USB because of this kernel
Idk before I sent my phone in a had been using that kernel. I had no trouble charging/connecting. But really what it comes down to is every one of these phones is different, then you throw in the hboot and other key factors and it just gets worse.

Turn off smartflash if you are s-off you dont need it.
Then flash chads htc leak rls1 kernel, that stopped all the bootloops and problems for me its something about the stock kernel i am guessing. Everything worked fine after using that kernel. Anthrax rls5 says not to use it with sense 3.6, its right on androidfilehost. Chad said to use the leak rls1 instead for sense 3.6.
boot loop
wonder why every sense 4.0 ics rom i try to flash to my htc evo 3d... it always boot loop, i done tired everything everyone told me and the same thing happens.. only thing that really works on my phone is gingerbread... any suggestion??? really would appreciate it...

In my case I can't get any ROM based on the leaked RUU to boot unless I changed the kernel, this applies to both 3.6 and 4.0 ROMs. I don't know if you're GSM or CDMA but I know the kernel from Shooter_Ice works for me which is a GSM ROM. I can flash that over just about any ROM and it works or I can install the ROM straight up and it works to. If you're GSM, try that, if you're CDMA then look for a similar ROM that isn't based on the HTC leak.

ICS ROMs bootloop if you are Hboot 1.5 S-On (which you are if you unlocked via HTC). I recommend you get S-off using the wire trick or downgrade to 1.4 S-off. See the stickies in the CDMA Development section (or GSM development) to find information and steps on how to do it.

+1, go s-off and you can flash anything you want
Loop FIX
Sometimes you will get boot loops even with 4ext.
One thing that I have found which works is flashing mean ROM 2.4 ICS as a base.
This ROM probably will not boot or will get stuck in a boot loop but that is fine in this case. From there on use 4ext to complete a "dirty install" of another ICS ROM. I recommend SOS De-Sensed Rom. Sometimes flashing a ICS ROM on top of another ICS ROM (booting or non booting) allows for install.
to bypass all the bs go straight to fastboot and flash 4ext recovery 1.00.5 and do the s off wiretrick and then try to flash the rom... when you get s off it releases more permissions for the kernel to flash to the rom without having to use flash image gui from joekrimz
try this
ok you need to flash the boot.img file trough the bootloader, if that doesnt work try flash image gui
Flash custom rom then pull out your battery, go to fastboot then try flash this boot.img with fastboot http://db.tt/kEUVhnvV

I'm having a problem with my girlfriend's Evo 3D. I did the HTCdev unlock method and then used adb to put superuser and team win recovery.img on it. I used the phone on its stock ROM for a day. Next I used ROM manager to flash clockwork recovery. This morning I decided to go with the Team Win recovery. I tried to flash a sense 4.0 ROM and now I'm stuck on the white HTC screen. Can someone tell me what to do?

Im guessing the phone is CDMA S-ON ( next time incude this info when asking question makes it easier for people to help you ) and with all sense 4.0 roms has is known issues about S-ON devices not booting or going into boot loops.
I would install a working rom then instal 4ext recovery with smartflash on.
This could fix your issue.
( Even if your phone is GSM and S-ON this should also fix your issue so make sure to click on the right link below.)
CDMA: 4EXT Recovery Touch
GSM: 4EXT Recovery Touch
I just wanna add one more thing, don't try to flash via rom manager, it's gonna ****ed up your phone..

Hello all, I am new to these forums so I apologize in advance for possibly sounding a bit uninformed.
I got a Rezound from a friend that was never unlocked or rooted that was stuck in a boot loop. I tried everything to bring it back to life with no luck. I flashed the stock RUU, I unlocked via HTC Dev and flashed Amon ra 3.15 recovery. No matter what I did, It would just boot up to the HTC white screen and shut down and repeat over and over.
I decided to put a custom ROM on it to see if that would work. I flashed Scott's Clean ROM from recovery along with his PH98IMG.zip file as instructed to do and the phone came to life. I am currently running the Clean Rom which is ICS 4.0.3 which happens to be the same android version as stock.
What I am wondering is, If I can somehow get this phone back to stock? The RUU didn't work the first 20 times I tried it and it probably won't work now. Is it possible to flash the stock ROM through recovery? Is RUU the only way to go? Do I need to use stock recovery to load stock ROM? If anyone knows how I can get this phone to stock, I would appreciate it. It is strange how it works on custom ROM but not on stock.

Hey guys, I am familiar with rooting and flashing on several devices (samsung & LG ) but this is my first HTC device and I see that there are quite a few differences on this. Here is my current setup and problem
HTC Amaze (T-Mobile) , S-ON (i cannot get S-off for the toolkit requires a 32-bit windows which I don't have), I have my Hboot unlocked via HTCDev and flashed 4EXT recovery via All-in-one Toolkit from Hasoon2000. I was intially in the stock htc ics rom and I flashed this rom http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2151431. The darkglass rom worked fine and everything but I did not like the feel of it and wanted to go back to a sense rom. (I did a backup on 4ext before flashing)
I tried the following and it did not work:
- Flashing nightmaresense rom (failed)
- flashing elegant sense (failed)
- tried restoring back to my stock htc rom (failed)
none of these roms booted up for me ( I followed every instructions and made sure to wipe everything before flashing )
- I wiped and reflashed the darkglass rom again and it works fine.
My question is why is my backup htc stock not flashing and how can i flash back to a ics rom or a sense rom that isnt 4.1? what exactly am I doing wrong and can it be solved without getting S-off?

You need to enable smart flash on 4ext to flash properly
Sent from my Amaze 4G using xda app-developers app
Correct. Enable Smart Flash in 4EXT Recovery or the 4EXT Recovery Control App (must be purchased) then reflash your backup or flash a different rom.

Its not necessary to purchase the 4EXT Recovery Control app. There's also a free version available called 4EXT Recovery Updater. You can also enable Smart Flash and configure your Recovery using this free version.
And just to inform you jislam88, I S-Offed my phone using AIO Kit on my 64 bit Windows 7.
I just ran the kit as administrator, and luckily everything went successful..

Thanks for all the help guys, it worked after I turned on the smart flash. I was wondering the same about the S-off considering most PCs are 64 bit now and the actual Juopunutbear Website states that it only works on 32-Bit windows.
Anywho, I will try that S-Off later , by the way a lot of people here seem to complain about battery life, I suggest this : http://www.ebay.com/itm/2-x-2500mAh...350011?pt=PDA_Accessories&hash=item33702d507b (yes it is real and it is a stock size battery)
I get about 12-14 hours of heavy use daily on this on stock htc rom/kernel. Probably even better on custom roms.
From JB rom to ICS/Stock rom
I am also currently on dark glass (JB) and i want to revert to ics....so all I have to do is enable smart flash and wipe partisions and flash night mare rom (ics) ???? are the steps correct?

There's no need to enable Smart Flash if you are already S-Off.
You are Super CID, S-Off and you already have ICS firmware installed.
You are ready to go.
Format all partitions except SD in Recovery and flash Nightmare ROM.

Hello I've been trying to flash a new rom onto my HTC evo 4g lte. I'm currently running sense (android version 4.1.1) my (hboot is - 2.09.0000) and im rooted. My boot loader is unlocked using HTCdev. I'm S-On. My recovery is twrp v2.5.0.0 and I have tried to flash cm10 once I finished and restarted the phone it would only show the boot image and I waited for about 10 minutes hoping it would work which it didn't then I read on other forums that I need to flash a kernel called htc dumlock and restore-original-boot-v2 I did that and followed the instructions and afterwards I tried flashing the rom again and it did the same boot loop. I luckily have a back up of my original rom however I would still like to flash a new rom can anyone help me please?
Check out the link in my sig for some useful info. Hopefully it answers all your questions.
