so i rooted my 3d awhile back (its release), although never did anything with it, then recently started getting heavy into roms and custom programs and well, programming in general.
well point is after a bunch of experimenting , i soft bricked the crap out of it after i flashed an unstable rom and forgot to backup my original (rooted)stock rom.
been on a search ever since.
any help with a rom would be greatly appreciated.
ps. Do i absolutely need the sprint stock rom? or can i go further and just flash any working rom (cyanogen, etc)
A soft brick can be solved by installing a new stable rom. You don't need a stock rom. Where did your phone stuck?

So I've attempted to flash two of the ICS GSM roms based off the leaked HTC ICS and both give me bootloops(like shutting off and rebooting every 10 seconds). I've tried to do it with both 4EXT and CWM, I've superwiped, I even tried to flash the boot.img using fastboot but nothing seems to work. I was wondering if anyone had any ideas.
Mostly you only get stuck on boot loops if you're S-On so I recommend you downgrade your HBOOT first, use Revolutionary to go S-Off and do the flashing again. Cuz I've been through it too, was very annoying. Only some roms used to work S-on.
If you're S-Off, then I have no idea what's wrong because ever since I'm S-off, I've never encountered bootloops. Except for when I experiment with my phone installing mods I shouldn't.

I'm S-OFF, trust me I'm stumped, I installed a different GB rom last night to make sure my phone could flash new ROMs and that's not it either. At this point I feel like my phone is just rejecting the ROMs, I wonder if it's all ICS or just the leaked HTC one that my phone doesn't like.

I've probably installed he firmware via bootloader at least 5 times, maybe I could try a different firmware though I'm not really experienced in knowing the difference between firmwares.

Go and download the one on Virtuous ROM official thread. That should do it. I got it working on the first go, though I was **** scared of bricking my phone.

I did install the one on the Virtuous ROM thread, I'm wondering if there is a way to switch to another one and try that since I've been failing to install ICS on that firmware and haven't tried on any other one.
Don't be afraid of bricking its all about knowing what to do after its bricked and also what process are you using before you flash the Rom

I tried to flash both Virtuous 3.0.0 and 3.0.2 aswell as the Anyrl ROM based on the ICS leak and all exhibited the same bootloop. GB roms flash just fine as I put on Virtuous 2.0.0 last night to see if I could and I've never had an issue flashing various versions of MikRunny.
I can help you with that I just flashed 3.0.2 its vary easy

You can use an app called Flash Image GUI from the Play Store to flash the kernel, assuming you can get your phone to boot into your current ROM. What specific problem are you having flashing the kernel with fastboot?
Your other solution is to get S-off, which is preferable

Like I said before... You NEED to downgrade in order to use any AOSP ROM's. Not sure how many more times you're going to make these posts. Lmao.
READ THIS! YOU NEED TO DOWNGRADE TO USE AOSP! DOWNGRADING IS A PROCESS TO GAINING S-OFF! SO JUST S-OFF!
Fastboot works just fine. Just need to know how to use it.

You NEED to S-OFF.
Please listen to delakit. As long as you have the 3.16 TP you will ONLY be able to use 3.16 based sense ROMs. NO OTHERS. You HAVE to downgrade your touch panel, which can only be done if S-off.
(Side note, this is what makes me not wanna wait for HTC One price to drop. You end up with updated FW/SW that is always more difficult to S-off, if supported AT ALL).

So I recently rooted my phone and I tried to install the CM 10.1 mod. I did everything correctly except I didn't backup my original rom. So now the custom rom won't boot up because it gets stuck at the HTC startup screen and stays there. I went back into the twrp and tried to re-install the custom rom and again it didn't work. Now I went back and all my files are gone including the custom rom! So basically I think that the phone is booting because there is nothing on there. I tried to change the recovery image back to the original htc rom according to htcevohacks.com and i tried doing a factory reset but it didn't work. is it possible to fix this if so how? Thanks.

If you can get into twrp you can mount usb storage and put the Rom zip back on and the reason it won't boot is because you are s-on you need to fastboot flash the boot.img first

ok so as you guys said I can put the rom back on and install it and I have tried it. I got the initial set up of the new rom but the touchscreen doesn't work. I tried 2 other roms too and the touchscreen doesn't work on all of them. Do i just have to keep trying out roms? If you guys could post any roms that you have tried before that'd be great. I just want my phone to run something right now.
Try running a ROM based on the 3.16 OTA such as ViperROM or MeanBean. What version of TWRP are you on?
Also note if you use either of the ROM's listed above, they have S-on kernel installers. Just follow the installation instructions.

Give it a shot. The 3.16 OTA included a touch panel driver update. If you have the updated driver you can only run 3.16 base ROM's and also must use TWRP 2.4+, otherwise, your touch panel won't work. If you gain S-off you can downgrade the driver and run whatever ROM you want.
Once S-off you don't have to fool with flashing the kernel separately, either

So according to the MeanBean developer the kernel installer is built in, so all i have to do is flash the .zip file and it will take care of everything correct?

I think, if I recall correctly, you have to flash the ROM zip twice. After you flash the first time, you will be prompted to flash it again.

I have international htc amaze, i desperately wanted to get it updated to official ICS for that i contacted htc Philippine, they regretted to give an update on Singapore origin phone.
finally thought of rooting it and to flash CM 10.1 on it, i got it rooted by Hanson 2000 root kit. but when i installed a ROM on it, it keeps on rebooting i had to change the ROM and get back to stock ROM which is GB 2.3. but i definitely want to try it.
my phone specs
using 4 ext recovery with smart flash enabled.
phone is s-on.
i haven't done super CID.
i am afraid of doing s-off because it may brick my phone and for super CID i have read full thread i did not get what super CID is and is it necessary to super CID.
it is not like i am new to rooting i have done rooting on Samsung phones and i must say they are and something goes wrong u can always use Odin to get an stock back.
