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!
I followed this guide here to root my EVO 3D:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1239821
Then my friend who already had a rooted Galaxy S told me to get ROM Manager and it installed Clockwork Recovery. I didn't know you only needed one recovery since I'm noob at this and when I tried to install a Custom ROM with Clockwork, it just boots and I get the Sprint logo and nothing happens. I try to boot into TWRP and nothing also happens. I think having two recoverys is going a major issue with my phone and I'm unable to install any roms. Is there anyway to go back to just having the TWRP Recovery and get rid of the ClockWork/ROM Manager? Or will I have to reset everything and root again?
Huh... Sounds like the hboot 1.5 is giving you issues... Use image GUI app for 1.5 to flash right from normal android mode( everyday user mode) look the thread in themes and apps to get it installed. Let me know how it goes here. No link as I'm using the tapa app

You can't have 2 recoveries installed at the same time...if you initially had TWRP, when you flashed clockwork it would've over-written TWRP. You don't need to reset anything or re-root to get back to TWRP. You should just be able to flash TWRP again. Use the method from the thread you initially followed. Just the part about flashing TWRP is all you need to do. I've never tried it, but you could also try flashing it with the app flash gui image, or something to that nature. Joeykrim developed it and I've heard it works nice, here's where to find info about it, http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1192527. If your phone won't boot, the flash gui image app prob wouldn't be the best way. I would just boot your phone to fastboot, re-flash TWRP recovery, then flash a rom and try rebooting.
I don't have hboot 1.5, so I'm not up to date on the 'special' ways you need to flash, but I know that you need to boot into recovery from fastboot in order to flash a kernel, and I'm not sure if there's other steps you need to to take in the flashing process, so research that and make sure you're doing it correctly. If you don't boot to recovery from fastboot, the kernel won't flash and you'll be stuck in boot loops or something like that. Good luck.
Thank you guys! The flash image gui thing made the fix very seamless. I just flashed TWRP again and now it's showing up. Flashing synergy nitely now. Woot!
Alright so let me be concise.
I have a rooted, S-ON, HBOOT 1.50 Evo 3D. I had the thing rooted for about a month and decided it was time to check out a ROM. I flashed the Android Revolution HD 1.1.1 ROM with TWRP 1.0.3 and found that I didn't have Wi-Fi or 4G. Unacceptable, so I tried flashing Ziggy's kernel (again with TWRP) a couple of times and got an asset error. I tried RCMIX EVO 3D Kernel and got the same error.
I then reflashed the Revolution HD 1.1.1 ROM after clearing it again and attempted to flash ziggy's kernel. Again error, but then, RCMIX flashed correctly! Hoorah!
Or so I thought.
This is when the device entered the "bootloop". When I restarted the white HTC screen appeared for about 30 seconds and then the phone would shut off for about five seconds, then restart again with the same HTC screen. When shut down I can enter the bootloader by pressing the volume and power down button.
No worries though, right? I have two backups! So I go back into recovery and attempt to use my most recent nandroid backup. Restore Naowz says it was successful but when I boot again I have the bootloop still going. I wipe again and try a different backup, same thing. I tried a multitude of different things after this in an attempt to "learn something" about my device. This included a factory reset through TWRP (didn't work), wipes then attempts to flash a new ROM (cyanogen), and a combination of things that didn't produce fruits.
Any ideas or help would be so ****ing appreciated as I have run out of ideas.
Get the kernel from the nandroid (boot.img)
Download the HTC fastboot drivers (google them)
Download ADB and fastboot files (google them)
navigate to adb and fastboot file directory
Put the kernel (boot.img) into the directory
Type 'fastboot flash boot boot.img'
Wait for the kernel to flash
go to recovery
restore from nandroid (or preferred you flash the ROM you used in the nandroid. Remove the boot.img from the ROM zip)
Successfully boot!
well first off, you are using FASTBOOT to boot into recovery, correct? You arent just booting into recovery and trying to flash from there are you? If so, then thats the problem.
Follow steps from post above mine and that should help. Or look for HTCEvoHacks guide to flashing with hboot 1.50 and read up.
Thanks for the replies, I already have adb,fastboot files and fastboot drivers installed so this should be even easier. I will do this all when I get home. Thanks for the guidance and help. Super appreciated.

that it is my friend, that it is. I cant even count the number of times Ive read a post where someone is asking for help on flashing and it turns out that they didn't flash using fastboot.
Oh well. What can you do?
im having major issues here with my device it all started with me trying to flash it to cynogenmod 10 which apparantly my device has the s-on so i was stuck in the cmod boot logo, luckily i backed up my device prior to that with the stock rom and everything so i restored successfully back to my stock rom. then i was reading along some forums to see what the problem was and i came accrosss this forum "http://androidforums.com/evo-4g-lte-all-things-root/606748-how-install-kernels-s-h-boot-1-15-a.html" which gave me a few options on how to flash kernels with the right one that will work with cynogen mod, i chose option 1 because it said it is recommended which the steps were to take the rom "boot.img" file and copy it over to the android sdk platform tools folder and open up a cmd and i flashed the rom "boot.img" which according to the forum that contains the kernel that belongs with that rom i did what it ask went to fastboot mode and typed in fastboot boot boot.img, which succeeded, when i rebooted the device it boots up acting like it is trying to open up recovery mode which is twrp recovery, after that it does nothing it blacks out and a little white bar flashes on top of the screen from time to time then it turns off and reboots and do same cyckle, i attempted to go back to twrp and restore my stock rom which said it succeeded but when i rebooted it did the same thing acted like it was tryning to boot up to recovery being inforemd with those red letter about developmental purposes only stuff, so i factory rested my device wiped dalvik cache and cache and even wiped the system rom and restored my back up with stock rom and nothing works still, please help i am stuck please!!
You probably need to pull the boot.img from a stock ROM and send it via fastboot since your trying to go back to your stock backup.
thanks, but now i got the cynogen mod 10 to boot up now for some reason the touch screen does not respond to the touch neither does the capacative touch buttons work either do you have any idea what it could be?
If you have the 3.16 OTA update then you're touchscreen firmware is incompatible. If this is the case your stuck with 3.16 based roms. Cm will not work for you.

well the 3.16 ota update is that the latest one?
Yes. If you have the 3.16 update the only way your going to get cm to work is to s-off and downgrade you're tp firmware.

I'll try..
First and foremost you need to go here http://themikmik.com/showthread.php?13192-RADIOS-RECOVERY-FLASHABLE-Jewel-Radio-Collection&p=220556&viewfull=1#post220556 and download the boot.img only for whatever version of the stock rom your backup is.
Put it in your sdk tools and open a command prompt and fastboot flash boot boot.img
Go to twrp recovery and WIPE cache, dalvik, factory reset, and system.
Restore your stock backup.
Reboot.
If you can get back to your stock rom, then you should read up on dirty racun or possibly facepalm to gain s-off if you want to run cm.
Hey guys so this is the first time I try to throw a new Rom on my one ever since I got it last year and threw SuperUser on it (this is the thread I used, yes I am on a Mac http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2245782) . Tonight I was able to start the install for ViperOne (http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2345410) and everything was going good until the end, got a message saying there was a problem w/ installation 7 and to keep the log. Than I got a message saying that I may have lost root access and if I wanted Clockwork to fix it, I selected yes. And now I am on an ongoing loop. I get the green HTC logo saying "entering recovery" on top and than the recover flashes and goes back to HTC screen with the text "This build is for development purposes only..." and starts all over again. I am able to get into HBOOT and the top says ****Tampered**** ***Unlocked*** S-ON. I tried going thru the original thread and everything but I am stuck. Can't get into recover or anything.
Like I said earler, this is my second time doing this so I didn't clear anything prior to starting the ViperOne flash, I wasn't sure if I needed to. Anybody ever have this problem before? Or can someone help me out please?
I appreciate any help guys!

Thanks! I'll start right on it.
I was able to flash twrp but I don't have an option for erase cache. I selected reboot bootloader tried to go into the recovery but it flashes a bit than goes back into the loop.
So I was able to clear the cache and everything, I just now need to find a way to get the zip on the phone. For some reason I can't see it anymore. Could it be because I flashed it once already?
And I was able to install the Rom succesfully! Thanks for the help. I learned how to push the rom in tonight and got it going. Now I'm having a problem with the Viper One rom. Have any of you guys used the rom? I go thru everything, flash successfully but after I go thru all the steps for the setup, I get a mesage saying "Unfortunately Setup has stopped" and my only option is to hit Ok. Once I do that I go to a black screen and thats it. I tried to reboot the phone but it stays on the Viper One logo for 10 minutes now.
