So I was walking my girlfriend through rooting her new Evo3D, and we couldn't get the phone to get past the 'MI' logo, so I figured it was a kernel thing. After four kernels and two versions of MIUI I realized that it wasn't the issue, it was the hboot.
She didn't back up, she has only had it since last night. I now know what I need to do to flash the ROM, but how can I get her back to stock so I can get the app needed?
Any help?
She has HBOOT 1.5, right?
Go back to the folder where you did all the rooting. Get the stock MIUI kernel (boot.img from the flashable zip) and place it in that folder. Open up a cmd and navigate to that folder.
Boot her phone into fastboot mode. (Vol down + power while the phone is off. Hit power button to select fastboot once it goes into bootloader) Plug the phone into the computer via USB
Type 'fastboot flash boot boot.img' in the kernel. If it successfully flashes, you are done! MIUI should boot up now that it has the appropriate kernel. You will need to do this for any ROM you flash.
As long as you have a recovery, just flash whatever rom you want through fastboot and the kernel will stick.
Or just download a stock rooted rom and flash that the same way you just tried to flash MIUI. It will work since you still have the original kernel.

Well, ROM's cant be flashed through fastboot. The ROM is flashed through recovery. Then you go to fastboot and flash the kernel with my guide above. After that, everything should be working fine.

Hopefully this works! Shes at church right now but I will have her do this ASAP and I'll report back!
(Awesome response time BTW)
Roms are flashed through fastboot just by loading your recovery into fastboot.
I never flash roms and kernels separately. Just go into fastboot, load your recovery, and flash as you normally would.

I had something similar when flashing MIUI. if you boot the recovery.img from fastboot it should work. you may want to re download just in case of a bad download.
Please use the Q&A Forum for questions Thanks
Moving to Q&A
I'm having the same problem as epicchase. have attempted to flash miui many times. at first i tried to do it through my recovery. it didn't work. then i tried to use the fast boot method and flash it from the recovery that i opened from fast boot. i'm quite frustrated. it just wont boot miui, is it the kernel, i'm new to rooting in general but i think i know what i'm doing. i have spent who knows how many hours trying everything i can. i tried flashing the boot.img and the ROM separately. I have successively flashed android revolution hd, but that's no fun, its nearly the same as the stock ROM any suggestions would be appreciated. it boots but i guess it must be a boot loop but idk all i know is it freezes in the middle of the boot animation.
ps. i am rooted using the htc official method (unfortunately) and am s-on)

Did you do a full wipe before you flashed? Find Virus's Superwipe tool (.zip), boot to recovery with fastboot, flash the superwipe.zip, then flash MIUI.

well it didn't work it did the same exact thing. I've been giving it about 10 mins to attempt to boot is that long enough? I'm new to non sense roms I've only ever used sense, is there something I'm forgetting to do that is different for non sense roms. *frustration* (and i thought i was beginning to understand this)
---------- Post added at 09:43 PM ---------- Previous post was at 08:46 PM ----------
okay well i tried to flash cyanogenmod 7 still no dice. I must be an idiot, sorry for being a noob.
this is what im doing.
im placing the .zip on root of my sd card. then opening my cmd.
i then type " cd c:\android" (i saved the recovery image in a folder named android) it says
"c:\android" just as it should i then type "fastboot boot recovery.img"
it restarts my phone in recovery
i press install .zip from sd card then click wipe cache and dalvik cache it goes and does its work
i then select the superwipe.zip it says flash compete however it says error or something but i just kind of ignored it.
i then select my miui.zip that i got from www.miui.us
i then select install .zip files the first thing that comes up is "md5 check fail- ignoring" and the continues and flashes (i have no clue what that part means but i continue anyway)
i select reboot and it starts to boot my phone i get the white screen with green htc.
i then get the miui boot animation for anywhere from 2-5 seconds and then it freezes.
i sit and nearly just stare at it and the clock. i wait at least 5 mins but have waited up to 30 mins.
the boot animation never restarts i just freezes there making me think it is not a boot loop (however the definition of an actual bootloop is slightly vague to me.)
anyway thanks for reading and if you have any suggestions i will be very happy for now im just gonna run my android revolution hd rom.
If superwipe isn't working, fastboot to recovery, go to the wipe menu, not install a zip, wipe dalvik, cache, and factory reset. Don't do the factory reset in android, do it in recovery. I'm guessing you got a corrupt download of superwipe, I would redownload it and try it again if I were you.
Try using this one.

Help im desperate. first time poster been lurking for a while...
I flashed miui to try it out i liked it fooled around a bit with it but now i want to flash a new rom. i cant do nothing with the phone. i can only recover back to my miui backup. My AOSP/Sense backups get stuck on boots same with new roms. Off the top of my mind, Hboot 1.50, Tiamant(sorry if i mispelled) kernel, and the rest i cannot remember. i will edit with more specifics later on but if someone can help please do.
try booting into recovery from fastboot.
for example, go to fastboot, and plug into a computer with working fastboot drivers. type:
fastboot boot /recovery.img
(where /recovery.img is the path to whatever recovery img you're using)
then restore yoru backup

You should have a sense kerenl to get sense roms work....
Follow the steps from the link below and you will be good to go.....you can skip step 2 if you have a working recovery but for step 3 you will need flash image GUI app.

wait you flashed a stock (sense) kernel onto a miui ROM? that's no good.
have you tried the fastboot method, it should work no matter what ROM you flash, the way dkdude said in the second post here?

oh no......i told to use sense kernel for sese rom to work.........i.e aosp kernel for aosp roms to work..............now you have only 1 way to get it work
1. boot into bootloader
2. select fastboot ( you should have necessary fastboot , adb files)
3. connect to pc(phone should say fastboot usb)
4. then flash a boot.img from the rom you want to flash using command " fastboot flash boot boot.img"
5. then type "fastboot boot recovery.img ( you recovery may have different name)"
6.Flash a superwipe tool.
7. then flash the rom from which you have flashed the boot.img in recovery.
8.Reboot the phone.
Hope this helps.........
And please from next time read the steps in link in post 3 carefully......
You should not choose stock kernel on MIUI or Cyanogenmod
Its for sense Rom Only. And Use only sense kernel on sense rom and aosp kernel on aosp rom.
Those steps are for flashing Roms without a PC.
the step 1 clearly says to choose a zip file of a ROM not a kernel zip.
If you dont want to use pc follow steps from step no 4 ( link given in post 3.......but as you have flashed a stock kernel...you shoul now flash a sense rom) and check whether it works otherwise folllow the above steps.
And the black screen with everything working is due to mismatched kernel/ROM
okay so here is the problem and before you call me an idiot i just got this phone yesterday so i have had an evo4g rooted and got the evo3d yesterday for Free!! and i went straight home and rooted it using hboot1.5 method that all went great! but when i went to flash my first rom (miui)it worked great but when i went to flash a new rom i booted into fastboot and hooked up the usb and then used this command fastboot flash recovery recovery.img and that went well and then went back to my phone and went into recovery(TWRP) wiped Data/cache/dalvik cache and then hit install and choose warmtwopointthree and flashed it then wiped cache and dalvik cache and rebooted and here is where i run into trouble it loads the htc screen sits there and then reboots again again and again.....at first i thought oh its just a bad rom so i went and downloaded themikmik rom and did everything the same still same PROBLEM!!! i dont know if this is because im going from an AOSP rom to a sense rom so i flashed the miui rom again and still SAME Problem so i dont know what i going on so please help am i missing a small step or something i looked it up and watched a video and did it the same so i dont know what im doing wrong im frustrated and just want my new damn phone to work

You need to fastboot boot your recovery.img
This will allow you to write the kernel to the boot partition
What you did only flashed your recovery partition, and when you rebooted to recovery, you lost the ability to flash your boot partition.

You said in your OP that you entered this command thru fastboot
fastboot flash recovery recovery.img
If you go to the same directory that has the recovery.img ( you did everything correct up to this point) and enter the command
fastboot boot recovery.img
Your phone will boot into a temporary session of your recovery, with the exception that it allows flashing to the boot partition.
From here you can just do your normal wipes and flash your rom and it will boot like expected.
You should check out the stickies in the dev forum to learn more about the proper flashing with 1.5 hboot

It's saying that you don't have sd-ext... Which is for apps to sd. So that shouldn't be the reason of your problem.

Apologies not required.
Perhaps it's a bad download. Or It could be that your phone just doesn't like the kernel, same happened to me. I couldn't run any of chads kernels at one point.

OH. There it is. You're s-on.
You have to get a Recovery and flash the rom.
Then after you flashed it, open the rom zip on a pc.
In the zip, you should see a boot.img. Move the boot.img to the folder fastboot.exe is in. Then reboot the phone to fastboot.
Then open the cmd on the computer and cd to the folder fastboot.exe is in.
Then type "fastboot flash boot boot.img" (without quotes).
Then reboot the phone normally after it finished.
See if it still turns on.

you're posting in the wrong forum my friend. This is the Evo 3D forum not Evo 4G. and please create your own thread. no need to revive such an old thread
you should flash boot.img from fastboot, the devblock error is probably because you are trying to wipe all partitions in recovery. with s-on you cant just wipe the boot partition. you have to use fastboot commands to flash the boot.img(or if your device has a recovery like 4EXT which uses smartflash)

I think I can solve your problem ...
Where are you from?
I know that I must have missed a step in these instructions: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=29417266&postcount=1397
I am using an rooted EVO lte, with S-On (why I followed this thread with specific instructions with work around instructions)
I downloaded the zip file and was able to open up FlashImage and flash the zip file (the software found the correct file after indexing the .zip file). I rebooted the phone and held down volume down to get to the bootloader screen.
The only options I have are:
Fastboot
Recovery
Factory Reset
Clear Storage
Simlock
Image crc
Show Barcode.
I have tried Fastboot, recovery, and factory rest but all just restart the phone. When I try to restart the phone, it cycles through the HTC loading screens and then reboots again.
Is there anyway to save my phone?
Thanks in advance; your threads have been really helpful in the past.

Relock and run an RUU from the fastboot menu
If you use flash image you don't need to hold anything it has the option to boot recovery, it is only for the kernel, from there you boot to recovery and flash the rom and that should be it
The phone wont boot, so flash image GUI is useless. Exactly why I suggest people dont use it
The op never stated whether they actually flashed the ROM, for some reason they booted to the boot loader manually?
The way I read it the phone will only boot to the bootloader

The thread linked is cm9 op states after flash image they rebooted the phone and held volume down, and get to the boot loader screen but stops there no where is it mentioned cm9 ROM was flashed which leads me to believe they never jumped into recovery to flash rom

I believe you are right. I tried to follow this step but could not verify it was done correctly.
The ROM is flashed seperately from the kernel, as soon as flash img is done it gives the option to reboot directly into the recovery, this is because the ROM is flashed next. Since you are going from sense to aosp you need to clear dalvik, cache, factory reset, then system wipe and then install and select your rom. Anytime you install a different ROM sense or aosp, you need to wipe the phone. Take a look at my guide, I go over the various issues that could happen and do my beat to explain why. I also list a ton of info in android in general

Thanks; do I do this all from the bootloader screen? I don't see all of these as options.
You need to select recovery

When I do that it quickly reboots, and goes directly back to the same screen with the options:
bootloader
reboot
reboot bootloader
and power down
OK you need to flash recovery, do you have the adb tools package?

I just did; is there anyway to direct message you? Because I am a newly registered user it is only allowing me to post once every 5 minutes. I've installed the ADB tools package and it is not showing my phone
My Atrix 4G is unlocked and I have perma CWM installed, used it for a long time with GB pudding and I wanted to try out a CM7 based ROM.
I've been trying to install MROM with no success at bootup it just stays on the Motorola Logo with the Unlocked. I thought maybe it was doing something and left it for 10 mins with no change.
Any suggestions on what other things I could do? I've tried clearing the cache/dalvik and wiping data/factory reset before installing.
Thanks,
LF4
Try wipe factory after install rom
Sent from my Atrix 4G using xda premium
Go to mounts and wipe system and osh. Flash rom. Will probably sit at boot.... Pull battery and flash rom again without wiping anything then should work
I tried factory wipe after the install.
Also formatted system/osh installing reboot and installing again.
No luck on either one. I was selecting install from zip and would navigate to the zip file downloaded from the link on the xda dev post here. Which is what I thought was the correct way of doing things.
The install takes about 10 seconds before it says it's complete and the boot I'm not sure how long to expect it before I need to pull the power and try again.
Are you sure you downloaded the correct zip file? Should be around 100 MB or so but seems if install is done in 10 seconds that you only have downloaded the kernel or something like that.
You can get MROM at montuori's website here
take the latest build (not the update, the normal version so without *-update.zip)

Yeah that is why I mentioned it only takes a few seconds to install. I did download the full Atrix-MROM-20121111.zip which is 119MB in file size. MD5sum is correct so the file isn't corrupted.
I've tried all different combinations to get this installed. I was running pudding 4.5.91 would that affect the install of MROM?
Might be time to upgrade your recovery. Last version for official clockworkmod no touch mode is 5.0.2.0, touch version is 5.8.1.8 (http://www.clockworkmod.com/rommanager)

Thats what I was thinking. So I can just RSD flash the recovery-clockwork img to upgrade it do you suggest the touch or no touch CWM?
flashing a recovery when your bootloader is unlocked is done via fastboot.
i use the touch version myself and am happy with it.
to flash rom you type
moto-fastboot erase recovery
moto-fastboot flash recovery <recoveryname>.zip
make sure you have the motorola fastboot and drivers, to enter fastboot you can either use "adb reboot fastboot" or boot phone with volume down key pressed, when fastboot appears press volume up
stay as far away from rsd if it's not necessary.
My CWM was too old to flash it so I had to update it first then things worked great. Thanks for the help and suggestions I didn't know recovery zips were based on different versions.
Congrats man
