More questions about hboot 1.5 - HTC EVO 3D

Sorry, newb here!
So I'm a lil confused about hboot 1.5 :
Can I flash Roms using Flash Image GUI? Any?
And how?
When do i need to use fastboot?
I don't want to use my pc at all, or the less possible tbh.

You can flash roms using a computer with no issues lol using fastboot boot recovery.img in hboot with ADB.. You have to put a copy of your recovery.img in your adb folder for this method to work not hard at all.
You can use flash GUI to flash kernels and flash the rom in recovery .... You may wanna read up on the guy that made the app he has instructions...
I have used the app in the past not a bad thing to have... Tho I prefer using the computer always a one stop shop for me

Yeah but i travel a lot and don't have time to use my laptop, thanks anyways! Didn't know that!

Just download from the market the Flash GUI app and you can flash any boot.img (kernel) first and then flash the ROM and you should be all set.

Yes, if you travel alot then Flash Image GUI would be for you.

the pg86100 is the htc evo 3d if i am not mistaken and i have one and have hboot 1.5 also, i see you have boot manager listed as one of your apps. you can use this app as well with hboot 1.5 and still flash your heart away just make sure you unlock the bootloader via HTC's method and have root access and youll be good to go

Thanks guys, another question, whats the best recovery for hboot 1.5?

thats is all what you like to use... i personally use the clockworkmod recovery version 4.0.1.4

I found this video tutorial online of a guy rooting hboot 1.50 and at the end he flashes a Rom I believe Synergy 3.0 without using fastboot from the computer. He went into recovery and just flashed like normal. He said S-on doesn't mean anything. Unless you're flashing a kernel. Is he right?

Yeah, or you could use flash image GUI to flash kernels

i know with my evo 3d you can flash and rom from the recovery ... you just save the rom in its zip format to your sdcard and when in recovery mode that i use i just select " install zip from sdcard" and guide it to said rom then once selected it will begin an install process... now keep in mind that if your info is not backed up you will lose it... and you can still use the kernel that comes with the rom to flash it is just the same... it should be in the boot.img area of the rom you saved

Alright so I can flash from recovery a Rom that has a kernel already baked into it. But if i want to flash only a kernel, I have to use the computer or the other app?

It's essentially a snapshot of your current phone. In case that new kernel or rom put you in a bootloop or you wanna revert back.

you definitely do not need that app if youre flashing roms only...just keep a back up in case the rom is no good then you have the original to go back to

Unable to flash CWM with Hboot 1.5

So... I really like TWRP but with it being closed down I figured eventually I'd have to switch to CWM so I may as well get adjusted to it now.
However, I'm unable to flash CWM on my Evo3D with hboot 1.5 using fastboot or through the bootloader. I can flash TWRP but flashing CWM just puts me in a bootloop... Anyone know how to fix this?
TWRP is closed down?
My Blog: knowledgexswag.tumblr.com
Twitter: @knowledge561
I'm protesting flashing until CM9 drops for the Evo 3D!!!
well... Not closed down as much as team win has stopped support for it. Eventually I'm sure I'll get another device and then ill be forced to use CWM

There is a specific CWM Recovery you need to use for 1.5 HBOOT, Try flashing this , http://dl.dropbox.com/u/15385692/recovery.img

That one worked! Thanks!!! Will this work with rom manager for doing backups and what not?
Is this one an official CWM recovery or a type of homebrew?

I never use Rom Manager, I always do everything from the Recovery itself.
It's not a homebrew, It's an official CWM from Revolutionary! Enjoy!
It's the only one I'll use now. Twrp 2.0 never flashed correctly for me. It always locked out my WiFi and 3g.

Based off what I've read... There is no way to flash a Rom from Rom manager. You have to go through recovery.

Best thing would be to download the stock ruu with hboot 1.4 and go from there. thats what I did. rooting was painless,cwm works fine with it..
CWM is easy just gotta make sure you type in the CMD to flash right

[Q] can't unlock bootloader evo 3d

Sorry in advance if this had been covered before but there are so many different threads everywhere i don't know where to start. As of right now i'm running 1.50 s-on and have been attempting to use the HTC method to unlock the bootloader. I have no problems or errors at all til i get to i think it's step 13 or 14
sending 'unlocktoken' (0 KB)...
OKAY [ 0.152s]
writing 'unlocktoken'...
(bootloader) unlock token check successfully
OKAY [ 0.006s]
finished. total time: 0.159s
it appears that everything goes through but then nothing happens? my phone just stays in the same hboot screen. What am i doing wrong? thanks in advance and sorry again if this has been covered but i'm somewhat noob to rooting and am still trying to figure all of this out.....
If your cdma you need to run the latest ruu 2.17 ruu exe . Once done then apply the unlock code your set.

You can download the ruu in the sticky on how to get back to stock. I had this same problem and that's how I got it fixed.

ok one last question? I'm at the shipped roms.com site and there are is a .zip and a .exe of the RUU. Which one should i DL? if it's the zip do i extract it to the rootevonew folder on my C: drive? And just so i'm clear i go into fastboot and while in fastboot i run the .exe on my comp? or do i put it in the root of my sd card? Sorry again for all the questions.....
Put your phone on fasboot usb .
Run RUU.EXE
And your set. It will take about 10 min to complete.
Realize that if you remove your USB while its updating your phone might end up bricked so be careful to not get it unplugged.

Right on thanks guys i finally got around to doing all this and it worked. One last question....Any advice on a particular ROM to flash? I was looking at the Nocturnal Adrenaline E3D 1.0.2 ODEX?? what do you guys think? Thanks again for all the help...
I'm currently running MeanRom 3.92. It's really good. Lots of features & easily over clockable on included ziggy kernel or Anthrax Rls8 Final. Also includes other options that get loaded onto sdcard for flashing.
I flashed leedroid Tweaks, & anthrax, clocked to 1.728Ghz. Stable, fast, quadrant average about 4k.
All up to your preference really, but some consider it a good idea to stick with 2.17 based roms if that's the radio base you have.

Yes, once you enter recovery VIA fastboot command prompt everything will flash fine. See the Hboot 1.50 guide flashing notes in my signature for details or just get 4ext recovery.

Ok i got 4ext recovery and am trying to figure it all out, I read the thread on 4ext but I'm totally confused. I download the rom, put it on the root of my sd
Card, then open 4ext and when I install through 4ext do I still do the full wipe/dalvik cache wipe, etc. Etc? Or can I just install Zip from sd Card?

it works the same as any other recovery, but when you choose the zip to install, a menu will pop up asking you what to do prior to the flash, that is where you do all your wiping...enjoy

CWM to 4ext

I have been encouraged to install 4ext, but being a noob, I don't know how to remove cwm and install 4ext. Is it a matter of downloading the new recovery program and installing and letting it overwrite or do I have to remove cwm first?
Thanks!
Sent from my PG86100 using XDA
It overwrites . Just run the 4ext updater app
Also, I used the HTC dev method to unlock so I am still s-on. Is that an issue with this project?

It's not an issue just download the app and when it runs it will ask if you're s-on then flash the 4ext overwriting cwm. Then your all set. It can flash kernels making fast boot or flash gui obsolete

[Q] Just a little help

So I recently switched over to the Evo 4g LTE and I'm trying to get everything set up to flash ROMs and such.
I unlocked the bootloader, rooted, and installed TWRP 2.3. I tried to flash the latest Viper 4g ROM but it wouldn't go past the boot screen so I figured I must not have something set up correctly.
Still a little iffy on the S-Off, S-On and if that has anything to do with it. I have extensive experience with flashing on Samsung phones so the switch to HTC has me a little lost. Thanks for the help.

[Q] I've successfully S-OFF'd my dna with moonshine! now what should I do?

What should I proceed to next? Im assuming I would need to install a recovery now? (clockwork, etc. If so, do you know of any guides, not sure if I would need to do something different because I've used moonshine instead of another method) I would just like to make sure that I am doing the correct thing to avoid the risk of bricking/damaging the phone, as the I've only done this once before with my thunderbolt a while back. Any help would be much appreciated, thanks!

after you get your recovery installed (cwm or twrp both are great) then flash some ROM's and Kernels and see whats good...
i just got S-OFF with RevOne and whats my next steps
I would flash a custom splash screen and an aosp based rom (I like PAC, personally). But to do the splash screen I think you need the ENG hboot.
