I'm trying to install bcblend on my evo, but I'm dealing with the 1.50 hboot, so even though my phone is rooted (currently running Eternity 1.2.2), evidently I can't flash a kernel from recovery. Can I do it from fastboot? If so, what would the command be? I can't quite suss it out myself...my windows command line skills are weak.

Unfortunately, this method did not work for me.
You need s-off to flash radios and also kernels - correct me if iam wrong.

need either s-off or htc unlock method to flash kernels.
if using fastboot to boot the recovery and then flashing kernels from there doesnt work, the only other options i've seen for htc unlocked s-on devices would be to fastboot flash the kernel .img .. downside is you'll have to manually load the modules.
from all the posts, seems fastboot boot recovery and loading a kernel from that fastboot boot'd recovery should work.
keep in mind, you'll always have to fastboot boot recovery.img while using htc's unlock method if you want to flash kernels or ROMs which contain kernels. this is due to a limitation in htc's unlock method not allowing the boot (kernel) partition to be flashed from standard recovery mode.

Exactly...fastboot into recovery and you can flash whatever you like....works like a charm.
The method posted in post #2 was the method I had originally used - I did the HTC unlock, then followed the directions. I was able to flash a ROM, which is great - the ROM I'm using is snappier than stock, and the battery life is significantly better, but I was hoping to be able to flash custom kernels as well. If I can't, it's not the biggest deal in the world (pretty much the definition of 1st world problems), but it's frustrating. Step by step, I had done exactly what that said to do.
Ah well...not to be with this phone, unless someone figures out another way to get around the 1.50 hboot. Thanks, guys.
+1 for fastboot. Launch your recovery via fastboot and flash whatever kernel you want.

Hi Guys,
I need some help as I cant figure it out..
I am getting an endless booting loop at the htc screen on EVO 3D.. I have Kaama lightweight Kernal loaded 0.7 and flashed the Crypt0s RUU V1.4...it seems any ROM i try now i am getting this and just stays in an endless boot....
Using Recovery cwm-4.0.1.4 Shooteru
Bootloader is unlocked S-ON
HBOOT 1.49.0012
I am stumped now...
GSM EVO 3D?
Its good practice to flash the rom, boot up and let it sync, then go back to recovery and flash the kernel.
Are you able to get to Recovery?
yes i can still get into recovery.. that part is fine, so i am assuming this "can" be fixed somehow....its just beyond me now...
yes it is GSM AUstralian version running on Telstra..
If you are s-on something is wrong with that bpptloader you should be s-off. When you are s-on the kernels will not flash properly. You may be able to flash the rom through fastboot and get the kernel to stick. Search for Joeykrm's guide, I also think there are instructions on synergy or eternity post #2 for the s-on. I'd personally rerun Revolutionary and see if you can't get to s-off first though.
looking around I cant get s-off yet ob Hboot 1.49.0012..
I used the HTC method to unlock the phone....is S-OFF needed?
could I flash to a stock kernal to fix it?
Do ruu

S-OFF is not *needed* but it is preferred. HTC's unlock method forces you to take a few extra inconvenient steps (imagine that!).
In order to flash a kernel on an EVO 3D with s-on and HTC unlock, there are basically two ways which insure all the proper kernel and accompanying module files are loaded correctly:
1) From normal android, use my Flash Image GUI application. This will load the kernel properly.
2) From fastboot, use this command to load a temporary version of the recovery under fastboot mode: fastboot boot C:\downloads\cwm-recovery.img
Hope that helps clarify!
Joey has it right, I thought all of the HTC methods ended up being hboot 1.50. Sorry about that. Still all you need to do is the extra step to flash and all will be good. Doesn't really hurt anything but just an annoyance.

silverneedle does not work on 2.3.4 roms.......now if you are unlocked pull the boot.img from viper's rom and flash it through fastboot. then boot recovery through fastboot (make sure red LED is on in recovery) then flash vipers rom again. and u will be good to go
Hope this helps.......

He can do it that way or just copy the viper boot.img from the rom put it in platform tools folder wipe everything in recovery. Adb reboot bootloader then fastboot flash boot boot.img then go to recovery flash rom and he is sitting pretty lol.
Hey im new to the fourms but i have a HTC evo 3d on the Sprint network. I am unlocked S-On hboot 1.58 with MeanRom ( the latest) i am suffering from a boot loop. The screen boots i see the ring and then black screen back to HTC and restarts process. I am in way to over my head. Can anyone tell me if i can put a stock rom back on and it will fix boot loop or i heard about relock but don't know how to do it. Ive rooted other devices and jail broken devices but never had a problem like this. Help is much appreciated. Thanks
edit: I used a video on youtube but cant post the link :/
ClockWorkMod Recovery was used in it so i think i have it still.
I have tried the factory reset from the boot menu (power + vol down)

Don't panic tanker, lol I can help you out with this. Here is the reasons behind your boot loop
Your recovery,
Your hboot
Your kernel
Let me elaborate. Cwm has been known to cause lots of problem with evo3d flashing latest twrp or 4ext recovery is recommended. Highly for 4ext. Now before I explain about hboot and kernel, currently you are a s-on user. What that means is that you only have access to certain partitions in the nand memory. System, data, and recovery. That leaves radios and boot partition( that's where your kernel sits) inaccessible through normal recovery means. Anytime you flash a ROM inside of recovery, you phone can't flash the kernel that came with it. So in actuality, your still on stock kernel with mean ROM.
Now for the solution. Your in a endless boot loop with your phone so you will have to download 4ext recovery for your phone and place the recovery image in your fastboot directory. Hook your phone up to the computer and run the command fastboot flash recovery "whatever the name of recovery"img . Boot into recovery and navigate to tools directory. Scroll down and turn on smart flash. This feature will allow you to flash kernels within recovery for s-on users. Wioe everything and flash your ROM again.
Now as for your kernel. Hboot 1.58 is only compatible with ICS stock kernels. That's the main point of your problem. What you will need to do is navigate to the meanrom folder and select the 2.89 kernel and flash it. Your phone should be able to boot up properly after that.
If that doesn't work, you could also try the first step of Ramjet's thread. That will get you back to stock and hopefully not bootlooping. Then if you continue the steps, you'll be s-off which makes flashing easier. See: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1889438

Funny. No you cannot make up file names, or commands...
First of all you need fastboot application. Save it to c:/fastboot folder.
1. Open CMD, type cd fastboot to enter fastboot folder
2. Type : fastboot flash recovery recovery.img (where recovery.img is the name of your recovery choice weather it is TWRP, 3eXT, or CWM.
I am currently using 4eXT, which I switched to from TWRP
And that's it after its done you should have a flashed recovery on your EVO 3D
Maybe I should add that the "recovery.img" file HAS to be inside c:/fastboot folder.
Good luck. If that doesn't fix it, or if you need any recovery images that worked on my phone, POST

When you flashed rom did u make back up cause you could always restore old rom. And you could try flashing the right kernel but most of the time it cause you have to flash boot image that worked for me in trying flash cm 10.1 and I keep get bootloops my self try figure this one out.

Yes, that's were I am at this point. Right now I've got MeanRom booting to the homescreen seems like it's going to work, but the time is wrong and there's no service, before it can completely boot, bam, shuts down and reboots.
It does the same for the stock Sprint ROM.
Unfortunately I didn't make a backup of the phone when I gor it so I'm using a downloaded one.
I had Meanrom running on another 3D not too long ago, but don't remember it being this troublesome. What did I miss?

Ok well the first thing you need to do is downgrade your hboot to v 1.49000. I posted a link on the first page. If you were stock you coukd get s-off via the wire trick
But since you're s-on you need to flash the boot.img in fastboot and then flash the rom or vise versa. I cant remember which one needs to be done first as its been a while since I've used my evo3d. Basically anything thats ics and above cant be flashed unless you downgrade your hboot. Htc sent a hidden hboot ota to you at some point without your knowledge to prevent you from flashing. So downgrading your hboot is your #1 priority and you need to get back to stock to get s-off too

So i am stocked evo 3d ics 4.0.3 sense 3.6 s on and i unlocked bootloader and rooted hboot 1.58 and i tried flashing cm10 wild for the night and now i have bootloop and idk how to return to stock ics
You're not bricked, you need s-off and then to down grade your bootloader to run cm10 on the evo 3d. If you do a full wipe and flash a Rom based on ics you'll boot fine.

then you need to get s-off. your phone is far from bricked. If it was truly bricked it wouldn't even be able to bootloop

ok update i got it to boot into a rom... i am using a harmonia evo v rom all i had to do was pull the boot.img from the rom I flashed flashed. Put it in my folder that contains adb and fastboot and use fastboot command fastboot flash boot boot.img it worked!!! But now i wanna go back to complete stock
I will take it
I will take the HTC EVO 3D off your hands. I have mine S-off and LOVE it! I am sorry you are not getting yours working. I know how it must feel. But really, I would be glad to take the phone off your hands.

see, never assume its bricked unless you can't do staple commands(things like fastboot flash recovery.img) or it won't even reach the HTC screen.
