Hello guys I'm looking to get some help, and a point in the right direction as to what I need to do to flash roms on my Evo 3d. Currently the phone is rooted and is S-off with an unlocked boot loader. The boot loader is version 1.58. The recovery I using is 4EXT. I have tried flashing several roms including Evervole, Pacman, and the newer cm11 port based of ASAP rocky (I'm not sure of the name). Every time I flash the roms through recovery I data wipe and factory reset like you should do. The roms will install, but I can never get them to boot. They will just go to the logo screen and fail to load up. They don't boot loop they just fail to start. I have left them running for more than 10 minutes several times and no luck. What is the issue, and what am I'm doing incorrectly? Thank you for your help!!!
Just for clarification
Rooted
S-off
Unlocked boot loader
4xet recovery
H boot 1.58
Jbear boot loader from using the wire trick.
Evo 3D or V ? Find stock ruu and flash. it fixes boot issues. Also try a stable custom rom
Sent from my DOWNGRADED EVO 3D
Evo 3d on sprint. I flashed the stock ruu in order to do the s-off wire trick. I have a back up of that in my recovery. I just did that today. If I redo the ruu will I loose the s-off?
The roms you tried to flash need hboot 1.50
1.58 will only work for ICS roms
You do not need to do the ruu again

Okay thank you for that. Is there anyway I can downgrade my h boot? I tried using a file that you place on the root of your sd card and boot into the boot loader and it flashes it in order to downgrade the h boot. But the Rom still will not boot.
if you Put different hboot, you may need to reflash rom
Sent from my DOWNGRADED EVO 3D
Okay gotcha. So what is needed in order to run the newer jelly bean, and Kitkat roms?
You need hboot 1.50 or lower
The op will usually say what hboot to run.
After you change hboot
Reboot to recovery
Wipe all partitions except SD card
Reboot recovery
Then wipe again
Now flash new ROM / gapps
Reboot and enjoy
Make sure you move or rename the pg86img.zip when you are done, it will save you a headache later

ok so i was running leedroid 5.4 with leedroids kernel, on my evo 3d GSM with hboot .0011 Unlocked and S-ON.....things were fine untill i tried to flash some other roms like shooterbeats and infected eternity rom, i was not able to get past the boot logo on both of those roms so i thought maybe it has something to do with my s-on....so i decided to make it s-off....after reading s_superman's thread for about 2 hours on how to downgrade hboot to .007 or 8 and unlock using revolutionary....i gave it a go, and did so sucessfully NOW MY HBOOT IS .007 with S-OFF using revolutionary and CWM but i am not able to FLASH ANY ROMz ON some roms my phone hangs on BOOT logo, and on some roms it restarts after LOGO appears........its really frustrating after so much hard work ,,,what i get in return is this...feel like throwin it outta window....ANY HELP WILL BE MUCH APPRECIATED ON HOW TO RESOLVE THIS issue?
now in recovery it shows "revolutionary HBOOT 1.49.1107 S-OFF RL"
well fortunately for you, sir, all is not lost....
flash twrp recovery 1.1.1.... just to get a start.
i have never had one single issue with twrp 1.1.1. if you are s-off, you can now flash kernels through recovery.
quick recap, flash twrp 1.1.1, reflash ROM, and kernel. both of which from recovery. if you still have booting issues, flash the kernel through adb.
do that, then come back and we'll go from there.

So I tried flashing MeanRom the ics version onto the Evo 3d, and it flashed it. But every time it booted into the lock screen it rebooted itself. So I tried going back to the back up I made. 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 will keep trying, but I'm running out of ideas
it does have s-on
hboot 1.50.0000
u r s-on so u need to flash the boot.img by the fastboot

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. Then I booted into fastboot and pushed TWRP recovery back onto my phone and flashed a gingerbread rom. If you need help pushing the recovery via fastboot, this thread is the answer. Be sure to give JTNiggle some thanks.

Doesn't EXT4 Touch Recovery take care of that for you? That was my impression. Off topic, I know..
evo rebooting
yes 4ext recovery takes care of that and you guys should be using it and make sure you have smart flash enable
I did try flashing a gingerbread rom with twrp but didn't work, which is why I flashed ext4

Well I used the dumlock method, which should have helped me flash the rom without manually going into my computer to flash via cmd right?
Sent from my SPH-D710 using XDA
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.

If you're trying to install an ICS ROM, they tend to bootloop for most who are s-on. I recommend you get s-off.

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 have sprint evo3d and used ramjet's thread to root, s-off (wire method), and unlock. I was running Negalite Rom and everything seemed fine. I made a nandroid backup with 4ext recovery and tried a different rom (MIUI). I installed it using all the available wipes and it got me boot loops so i tried to restore my backup with negalite and that returns nothing but boot loops. Ive tried reinstalling the rom fresh and that also gives bootloops. I finally had to restore my backup of the stock rom which DID work but now I cant get a Negalite or MIUI to boot up with out boot loops.
Here is my current setup:
HBOOT 1.58.0000
S-OFF
HTC unlocked
I can get to the bootloader and i can get into recovery but i cannot get anything boot up
Edit: this problem was solved by downloading the hboot_eng_1.04.zip and renaming it PG86IMG and placing it on my SD card, booting into the bootloader. Let it read that. Them reboot and remove the hboot back off my SD card. I could then boot any JB rom with no boot loops. Hope this helps someone.

EDIT2: I can see that you threw that "for MIUI" in there as an edit to your original post as your original post came to my email and im looking at it now.
So I'm trying to put the latest stock Sprint ROM on my phone, but I want to keep all my ROOT and S-OFF. I read that you have to have certain HBOOTs for it to not bootloop. I found that info here:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1817513
and found the HBOOTS to flash from here:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=30014044&postcount=7&nocache=1&z=7862393853720278
I got the 2.89 stock ROMS from here:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1420206
and THOSE bootloop, both odexed and deodexed. HOWEVER... the 2.18 boots up but root isn't working in it. When I try to "su" from a terminal I get a segmentation fault.
PROBLEM:
I've tried a few different HBOOTS that should work with the 2.89 ROM, but it just keeps BOOTLOOPING
I even tried a few different recoveries, and also using the Synergy_3Dvo_Superwipe file.
It seems I am stuck.
I know these threads aren't very active anymore and I have an older phone but it's still my main phone and want to use it for a bit longer. Any help is greatly appreciated. Thanks!
Ok I literally just finished trying EVERY HBOOT I could find and they ALL result in bootlooping on the stock ICS. Here are the ones I tried:
PG86IMG_1.30-hboot.zip
PG86IMG_1.40-hboot.zip
PG86IMG_1.50-hboot.zip

PG86IMG_JBear_1.58.5858_hboot_Sprint_ICS.zip
PG86IMG_Revolutionary_1.40.1100-hboot.zip
All downloadable from one of the thread links I posted above.
First off you need hboot 1.57 or up for stock ICS
Flash hboot 1.58 since it newest... Jbear 1.58.5858 should work fine too.
Once you verify you have the correct hboot, boot to recovery and wipe all partitions except your SD card..
Now reboot the phone to recovery...usually an option in the power menu of recovery
Wipe all partitions except SD again
Flash 2.89 ROM.zip
Reboot phone
If that doesn't work
Take the boot.IMG from the ROM.zip and flash through fast boot

Does wiping the partitions and then rebooting into recovery and doing it again do a better wipe? I don't think I've come across that tip before. However I ended up flashing a PG86IMG zip file of the stock ROM. I actually screwed myself a bit because I'm flashed to Boost Mobile and it messed up a bunch of stuff that I had to fix but it boots and now I got it working. I'm planning on ditching this phone as soon as I can find a new one that I like. Was looking at the Note 3 but it's hella monstrous and I am not a big fan of Super AMOLED displays, too much crayon effect color-wise for me, although I know most ppl love that. Thanks for your tip though. Wish I had tried it before but again my phone is working now.
When you change hboot it is wise to wipe and reboot recovery
I'm not sure on flashing to boost, but if you made a backup before you started messing around you may be able to go back easily after flashing your custom recovery...I assume you ran the ruu Pg86img which restores your factory recovery
