Hey GUIs...I recently used the HTC official unlck to unlock ny EVO 3s and then I installed a ROM...I thought that the ROM might be the problem but it wasn't....first off when I installed it my Wimax, camera,WiFi, or video playback didn't work...she. I flashed the damn Sprint ROM back and still had the sane problems? Any thoughts?
What rom did you install? Did you install the kernal to go with that rom? Did you re-install the stock kernal when you went back to the stock rom?

You need the appropriate kernel for the rom to run properly. Kernels for each rom should be listed in the rom thread. If you are on hboot 1.5 you will have to flash the kernel separately in the bootloader or with the Flash GUI app.

so even with me messing up the kernel once if i find the correct kernel everything will revert and work? because when i flashed miui it stuck on the startup screen and never loaded past that so if i find the kernel that solves everything?
I would at least wipe cache and dalvik after flashing the kernel. If you run into problems, you may need to fully wipe, then install the rom from stratch, then install the kernel right after.

Well yeah thats the problem i did it using the flash gui app...the first kernel i tried which was a tiamut kernel didnt load....so i used rcmix_3d_evo_kernel...it accepted, when it went into reboot. it never loaded after that. But now when i go into my recovery...i can actually unpack that zip now. when beforehand, it would alwasy fail...does that mean something? im trying the way you just said by flashing it, then wipping the dalvik and cache and then flashing my rom, basically right now im bricked unless this works, and the way to help me not be bricked doesnt work because megaupload has been seized so i cant get the cwm to make my sd card. RUU doesnt work to flash it back to stock. Im pretty much stuck with a bricked phone...hopefully i find a way around this. theres a thread on here that refers to other people being bricked from this exact kernel.

Hey you really helped me, i ended up being bricked but what i had to do was flash the kernel twice or idk exactly which worked but i had to fastboot flash the boot.img from the ROM i were gonna use and flash the kernel...now all of my things are back working, 4g, wifi,video playback and everyting...the thing is the kernel was a defective kernel IF NOT FLASHED CORRECTLY.

Yesterday i installed Kaosgingerbread rom to my eris and it worked sucessfully...but i found out that all of my apps are gone EVEN MY APP MARKET the only app i have is superuser so now there is no market to get rom manager.! WHAT DO I DO?! i need help asap please if you are reading this help me an and if anyone knows what to do reply or something!!!!!!!!!!! thank you so much//// o yea and also my messeging works but when i try to add a gmail account it wont load successfully to..
You need to find the appropriate gapps zip file and flash it along with the new ROM to get market back. Flashing a new ROM will almost always delete everything on the phone.
OK i am kind of new to this sorrry for being a pain in the butt but can you explain it more because i really like the rom and all but besides the fact that i dont have the marketplace it sucks...so if its possible can you explain step by step and if not would it be possible to contact you through something like xbox or maybe email?

Most, but not all of the time anymore when you flash new ROMs you have to flash the GAPPs (Google Apps) package immediately after flashing the ROM, before you reboot into the ROM. Otherwise things like Market and GMail aren't there and you have a crippled phone.
You have to start over from scratch from recovery doing a factory reset/data and cache wipe and then flash the ROM and then the GAPPs.
Enjoy!!!

AFAIK, this advise given by most of the devs in their ROM threads was based on some reports, from time to time, that people who hadn't flashed the GAPPs before booting the ROM, and flashing it after caused their phones to not behave correctly. Flashing it immediately eliminates any possibility that someone might have a problem with that particular part of it, so it's wiser to be cautious and just give the blanket advise to do it immediately than to chance that with some ROMs or some phones, problems might arise.
yea well.. anyone wanna post a tut. on how to do this or something

Download the gapps file from kaos thread. Place gapps zip along with the Rom zip to the root of your sd card. Reboot into recovery. Wipe/factory reset. Wipe dalvik. Flash Rom. Flash gapps. Reboot. Enoy.
That is very true. You'll get the jist of things when u flash roms more often
wait i havent done anything yet but is there a way to restore my phone just back to factory settings?

Reboot both devices (with the phone unplugged from the computer to start with) and try again. Also, you can mount the SD card via USB directly from Amon RA or Clockwork Mod Recovery. Something like Mount USB-MS in Amon. In Clockwork Mod, it's in the partitions menu.
I unlocked the bootloader and rooted it okay... then I flashed a ROM, that also worked fine. I tried to flash a kernel and now it just gets stuck on the HTC screen. I tried restoring my back up, still the same issue. Tried reflashing the ROM, same issue. Not sure how to get it back to normal at this point.
It sounds like the kernel you flashed is either a 2.3.3 kernel that doesn't work on 2.3.4, or it was a bad flash. You should be able to fix this by holding volume down when booting up (opens HBOOT) then choose Recovery and from the recovery you can then either enable USB Mass Storage device and transfer a stock kernel over USB to your SD card then flash the stock kernel, or if you already have a stock kernel on your SD card, you can just select it from the install from zip menu and flash.
This Kernel should work fine (it's stock with CIQ spyware removed):

and after I flash this kernel it should be back to normal.... or should I try to flash a ROM all over again as well? As long as it can definitely be fixed then that's quite alright.... this phone compared to the Epic (which I came from) seems like it's much less fail safe to me.

ROMs usually have kernels. You could just wipe Dalvick cache and cache and flash your original rom (which has it's original kernel). and that should work.
There's a sea of roms. You could try posting on a rom's thread whether a particular kernel is compatible. Just follow the spin of things. Saves from just going round in circles.

Here's a scenario: If you installed a rooted stock 2.3.4 rom then decided to install Silverneedle kernel, your phone will get stuck in this boot-loop because the silverneedle kernel is not compatible with 2.3.4 yet. So by flashing a stock kernel over what is already on there, it should fix the problem. Before you flash the stock kernel clear cache and dalvik. After that flash the kernel and reboot the phone. Chances are it will boot normally. I doubt you will have to reflash a ROM to fix this.
Just cleared the dalvik and the cache, reflashed the ROM hoping to start completely fresh and its still getting stuck...

Then flash a stock kernel. I have had the same problem before. I flashed a ROM, installed a kernel and stuck at HTC boot screen. The fix is to either install a stock kernel through bootloader or flash another ROM in recovery. If you want the best chance of it working the first time, then flash the stock rooted 2.3.4 ROM by xhausx. If you want to try other ROMs and kernels, make sure that your ROM and kernel are compatible. Also use the synergy wipe zip file before flashing to make sure everything is formatted properly. Also, did you flash the extra firmwares that came with the 2.3.4 update? If not, make sure you flash those along with the new radio that just came out.

Not sure about any extra firmwares actually.... currently going to try flashing xhaus' ROM and hope that works...
Flashed the superwipe before flashing the ROM, then flashed the ROM... it went to the HTC screen for a second then just vibrated and then turned black.
When I go into the bootloader when it is loading up the images.... it kept saying "No Image!" for all of them. I'm not having any luck with this at all.

The link posted is for the GSM Evo 3D... will it work on CDMA?
This is embarrassing but I think I might have just bricked my phone. I'm hoping that there is a work around. Please let me know if you need more info to possibly help me.
I was running:
1. SIM Unlocked/Rooted T-Mobile Amaze 4G with 1.43.531.3 Radio
2. BulletProof 2.41 Rom
3. Faux123 Kernal v.0.0.8 [Jan 22]
4. Have Clockwork Recovery Installed
I've been dealing with constant reboots since I bought the phone new. I saw that someone posted in the Energy Rom thread that when they installed his Rom that the reboots went away. So I decided to try his.
I then:
1. Grabbed the Stock Kernal Flasher and tried to flash back to the stock kernal using Xboarders Easy Flasher. Everything seemed to go fine.
2. Phone rebooted and Its just stuck at the HTC Logo.
Any options for me? I did try to restore from my last ROM backup using CWM (which I figured was futile) but that didn't change anything.
Thanks for your help on this. I love this phone but I just couldn't keep dealing with the constant reboots. Now I'm really hosed

i think the problem is using the stock kernel.
take out the battery, use the vol down+power buttons to boot into hboot, then boot into fastboot, flash the kernel appropriate to the rom your using, dont just use stock, and then reflash your rom. always remember to do a full wipe

Thanks for your suggestion. Before I saw your reply, I decided to flash the Energy Rom since it had the Stock kernal built into it. I fortunately already had the rom on my SD card so I went into Recovery and flash that rom.
FORTUNATELY, the phone rebooted successfully after rom flash to the new rom. My phone is still using Faux123's kernal so the Energy rom didn't flash the stock kernal after all. But my phone is working again!!!
Thanks for everyone's help. I guess I'll just leave the Faux123 kernal on it and be satisfied with that with the Energy rom. Hopefully the constant reboots will go away.

Thanks to S-ON the kernel will not flash when you flash a rom. You have to flash the kernel separately using the kernel flash utility.
I'm running the Energy rom using the stock kernel from his thread and am loving it. Battery life is great. I've heard that battery life is not so good with faux.
No worries needed... glad you figured it out. The good news though about having S=on is that it's virtually impossible to brick. I'm pretty sure I've read posts from members saying good luck trying to brick it.
I'm sure if you edit the right code in the build.prop, you might be able to brick it, but even then you should still be able to boot into recovery.

Hello,
I've been all over google and this site for the last two days trying to find a way to get my Evo 3d work! I tried searching the forum and unfortunately i kept getting server errors So i figured I would make a new thread in the hopes of figuring this out!
What happened:
I went through the rooting process, and I went to flash a ROM on to the phone and it would not load pass the HTC screen. I had a ROM on there of the stock version of the Sprint Evo 3d, unfortunately it wasn't the proper version and it did not allow 4G and such. So i tried to place another ROM on to the SD Card and flash it over, and for some dumb reason, I deleted the version of the Stock Rom that atleast enabled me to get the phone to turn all the way on. All I'm able now is to boot up to recovery, but I can't figure out what ROM to download to place on the phone to get me back to square one!!!
Help please!!

Hi jerseybizzle, I can certainly try to help you but you have to help me first.
1. Are you doing a factory reset and wiping dalvik cache before flashing?
2. What hboot version do you have?
3. Is your phone s-on or s-off?
4. Which rom did you try to flash that wouldn't boot?

If it was an ics Rom and you are having bootloops, it is most likely because you are s-on. I recommend getting s-off. The wire trick is easy to do, but you need to be careful.

Did you flash the rom through fastboot? If you just booted into your recovery and attempted to flash the ICS version of that rom coming from GB it won't work since you still have S-ON and that doesn't let you flash certain things like kernels. You can still flash roms but you have to take a couple extra steps or achieve S-OFF.
To get your phone working again...
If you were just coming from a stock rooted rom before attempting to flash a new rom, simply download a stock rooted rom from the dev section, put it on your SD card, boot into recovery, wipe and reflash. Your phone should then boot up again.

I'm guessing it was the ics version of vipermod, and since you're s-on your boot image didn't flash. So you're trying to boot an ics rom with a gingerbread kernel.
If you want to use an ics rom, you have a few choices. My favorite... Put a recovery image in the folder on your computer that has fastboot in it. Put the phone in fastboot mode and type in the command window, fastboot boot recovery.img, make sure that you name the recovery image on your comp. to "recovery.img". It should boot to recovery and you can flash away.
Something that's easier is to use 4ext recovery smart flash. I'm sure it works but I've never used it.
If you want to get back to your stock rom unrooted rom you could run an ruu.
Also, take coals advice and s-off that phone, you won't have nearly as many issues once you s-off, and you can use one of the splash screens in my Sig

Here's an idea, get flash image GUI, its free here at xda, google it. Then use it to flash the kernel from the stock rom that you have running and reboot. This should fix your WiFi. Let me know if I'm not being clear enough.

If the app that was suggested to didn't do the trick, hit the stickies in the dev section on how to flash a rom with hboot 1.5 S-ON. I recommend the fastboot method, however, if you're so inclined, you can also go the route of getting S-OFF.
Most likely, some problems occurred when you tried to flash that ROM before and broke your wifi. So, if I were you, I'd grab a ROM (that viper ics should be fine if you still got it) and flash it through fastboot using a guide in the dev section. Be sure to read and understand the guide before attempting it.
The guide would be something like this...
1. Install the appropriate drivers and place a recovery on your PC.
2. Boot into your boot loader, select fast boot, and connect your device to your PC via USB.
3. Open a command prompt on your computer, switch to the directory containing drivers/recovery image
4. Type fastboot boot thenameofyourrecovery.img
5. Install the rom as you otherwise normally would using your phone, wiping data, clearing caches, installing zip.
NOTE: The above is not a guide, just an illustration of the guide you're looking for in the dev section.
Flashing a rom by this method allows you to flash roms with non stock kernels, so you can pretty much flash any rom made for your phone. This is the method I have used since day 1 and have never experienced any problems. You may also want to look into getting S-OFF, but I can't say much about that because I haven't done it myself (being content flashing through fastboot).
Hope this helps.

2. Boot into your boot loader, select fast boot, and connect your device to your PC via USB.
3. Open a command prompt on your computer, switch to the directory containing drivers/recovery image
4. Type fastboot boot thenameofyourrecovery.img
5. Install the rom as you otherwise normally would using your phone, wiping data, clearing caches, installing zip.
NOTE: The above is not a guide, just an illustration of the guide you're looking for in the dev section.
Flashing a rom by this method allows you to flash roms with non stock kernels, so you can pretty much flash any rom made for your phone. This is the method I have used since day 1 and have never experienced any problems. You may also want to look into getting S-OFF, but I can't say much about that because I haven't done it myself (being content flashing through fastboot).
Hope this helps.

Thanks. I ended up finally finding a ROM (CM) that would load on to the phone. The Wi-Fi is working now!
I just need to find a fix for the camera, neither the regular nor 3D camera will function now.

Which cm rom exactly? I thought the camera works with all the cm roms. It sounds like you still have kernel issues, and until you figure out how to flash a kernel or boot image, you'll always have these types of issues, bootloop, broken WiFi/camera. I know that the instructions that flonker gave you are intimidating but after you've done it once you'll see how simple it is.
One limitation of HTC dev unlocking is that you can't write to the boot partition from recovery, the kernel resides in the boot partition. You can, however, write to boot from within the android system. That's why flash image GUI is so handy for people with s-on and HTC dev unlocked. Just open the app, find the rom you'd like to flash and select it, the GUI will extract the kernel from the rom zip and flash it. Then you just boot into recovery and flash the same rom that you selected with the GUI. It'll flash everything but the boot image, but that's ok because you already flashed the kernel with flash image GUI. Make sure you do a factory reset and wipe the dalvik cache.
When I was s-on I always chose fastbooting to recovery, when you do that it actually loads the recovery onto the boot partition and gives you permission to write to boot, so its like flashing should be. Just wipe, flash, enjoy.
Hope this helps.

I have been flashing roms and kernels and such for awhile on several different phones and literally almost everything you said makes no sense and that goes for the other guy 2 posts above yours. WTF is flash image GUI? Is that an app, you never even say.
The other guy is telling him to flash a rom but describes to him how to flash a recovery image to his phone...have you guys ever done this before or are you just making stuff up as you go?

Those guys probably don't even have EVO 3D's anymore. Do you read dates before posting? Threads a year old :screwy:

Yes I do, I was looking for information and I read the entire thread. Just because they posted it a year ago doesn't make the info any less wrong.
Ok, I unlocked the bootloader on the 3d and then installed ext4. i then threw on negalites rom, booted, and had no wifi or 4g capabilities.
so i did some research....came to negalites website where they say to flash the butteredtoast kernel, then re-install negalite rom with aurora.
ok...so i did that, installed the kernel, re-installed negalite, annnnnnd still no 4g/wifi. i tried this several times. wiped caches, etc.
so then i decided "well screw this, i'll just try a different rom to see if wifi/4g work" so i decided to go back towards cyanogenmods wild in the night. so i transfer the cm zip to sd, and try to flash it....but i get an error aborted?! wtf?? i thought i unlocked the bootloader....and could flash what i wanted here.
so i tried flashing the pacman rom, that aborted as well. it seems any ROM other than negalites will not install. what gives?
So questions:
1. Is there a way to fix the negalite rom to get 4g and wifi working? anything else i can try at all?
2. why can't i flash any other roms? do i need to use TWRP instead? do i need to regress to a different rom or kernel?
Hellllpppppp!!!!
edit- this phone also is S-ON still if that matters at all
First flash Rom.zip
Then flash kernel
Also find smartflash setting in 4ext and make sure its enabled.
If you are not s off, you cannot flash anything but stock based ics, that's why you were getting errors. You need to change your hboot to flash those, and you need s off to change hboot
