hey everyone!! i really need u guys' help, my phone is either softbricked or stuck in bootloop right now. heres what happened, i have gsm evo 3d and i just got it s-on. everything was good, was on stock ics rom with superuser. made a backup using 4ext recovery so i thought i was good to go and tried flashing a sense 4 rom. after flashing, it got stucked in a bootloop and i later found out that i have to flash the boot.img. and so i did, but it didnt help. so this is where i panicked and went wiping and formatting and tried restroing the 4ext recovery backup i made and now... its stuck in the htc logo. means i soft bricked it?
If you can still get into recovery, you are ok. Maybe try to flash a sense 3.6 Rom (flashing the boot.img separately).
I also recommend getting s-off as that makes flashing easier.

yea but all i have right now is a GB rom from LeeDroid, downloaded that as it is one of the steps to getting s-off. will this work? or must i need a sense 3.6 boot.img? this is my first attempt on rooting and already facing bootloop :O talk about scary! ahaha
As it has been said if you can get into recovery you should be ok. Flash a non ICS Rom.
And you'll get past the boot loop. To flash an ics Rom get s-off that hay you'll have no problems. Saying that if your stock ics you might not be able to downgrade your hboot ansld therefore you can't get s off.

i just tried flashing leedroid gb rom and its still stucked in bootloop and when i formatted sd card, my 4ext backup was gone too. please help :'(
I see that coal is offline so ill try to help a little. The reason you bootlooped after restoring a nandroid is because you're not s-off and you didn't boot recovery from fastboot, you couldn't write to the boot partition. I'm gonna take a guess and say that your boot is corrupt. To get past this. You need to boot a recovery from fastboot. Do you know how to do that? Do you have adb set up?
Take the more useful advice.... Ignore this. It's probably way off ....
How did you format your sd card.
If you can get to your recovery, I presume you can as you flashed the rom.
Mount USB storage in CWM or whichever recovery you have. You can flash a Rom as explained previously and it will boot fine.

im not sure can u tell me what r the steps i should take from here on out? oh and im using gsm version so im not sure if it will be the same as CDMA though. But im gonna take all the help i can get.
He said he started with an ics stock rooted rom, he can't just flash a gb rom and expect it to work. That'll be booting a gb rom with an ics kernel.

If you don't have adb set up yet, I'm gonna say running an ruu is the fastest way to get your phone working again.

Your first post says you flashed a boot image, how'd you do it?
gimme the steps or guides so i have a reference guys. thanks a bunch! im gonna head off to bed first, havent slept for a day because of this i only rooted because i want sense 4. see what htc put me through because it didnt come with official sesne 4 update T__T please teach me how to fix this. literally dying over here.
I'll look for the stuff you need and post it when I find it. You're gonna need either an ruu or you're gonna need adb, and actually, I'm not sure but you might have to relock before running the ruu which means you need adb. Gimme awhile and ill post with some links.
im not sure what does adb and RUU mean. but adb, isnt that the thing with the cmd.exe when unlocking via htcdev?

An RUU is a Rom Update Utility, it will get your device back to stock unrooted.
Yes, ADB is used in the command prompt, do you have it

Rom update utility. Allows you to install roms. Could be a life saver for you.
Android debugging bridge. Runs on your phone and computer, you issue commands through your computer. Put simply, yes like command prompt.

Here is a link to the RUU's, make sure to get the one for your phone. I saw a lot of GSM RUU's but i dont know what carrier you have.
Here is a pre packaged adb installation kit.
You'll need adb installed to use the RUU because you're unlocked and it'll only run on a locked bootloader.
Once you get it installed, you need to find a recovery image. Put the recovery image in the same folder that adb and fastboot are in (platform tools folder) and rename it to recovery.img. Hold shift and right click in that folder and choose to open in terminal. Put the phone in hboot and plug it into the computer. Now Press power to select fastboot. Then type
Code:
fastboot boot recovery.img
You should now be in recovery and you can flash whichever rom you want to, or restore your nandroid.

I've read from other GSM users that the newest radios for GSM do not allow someone to install GB Roms as it will cause bootloops. That's why I suggested an ICS Rom.
As wild said, the fastest way is to run the ruu.

i started i started running mik runny yesterday. I dont know if it was somethign with the rom but. I just updated my prl on dfs and once i went to reboot it wont go past the white htc screen and just keeps bootlooping. I cannot figure it out. Ive wiped everything muiltiple times. my nanadroids do the same thing. New roms too. I even did a factory reset. i dont get it My recovery and fastboot still work though. any other suggestions?
Flashed a new recovery img. i was using twrp2.0 i flashed twrp 1.3 to see if i had any luck with that but no dice. Im downloading the latest RUU now and hopefully that will fix it. Im guessing if it doesnt then something happened to my phone. If im not mistaken flashing the PG86IMG will flash allthe partitions so there would be no reason for it to not work unless of course something happened to the hardware?
Btw Hboot 1.4 and running mikrunny when the bootloop started. Im super confused since it booted fine for me numerous times. The only thing i changed before this reboot was prl and i turned fastboot off earlier. one other thing im downloading RUU_Shooter_S_Sprint_WWE_2.17.651.5 radio 1.00.1216 this isnt going to affect my hboot once flashing right? even if i have to re root thats fine i just dont wanna get stuck in 1.5 prison

well im kinda stuck now. I tried to run the ruu for my hboot version and on step 11 system it failed to unzip. so now i have s off still but no recovery. Im gonna try to put cwm back on my sd and hope that it flashes and see if i can get some rom to flash. I cant figure this out i feel like a newb again. fml. Does it matter that it wasnt the first time i booted into the rom for it to be a bad flash like that?
well i think im officially bricked. I ran an older ruu and it failed to unzip system so after much searching i decided to run one of the latest pg86imgs it fully updated succesfully but still bootloops at the htc screen. So now i have a locked hboot 1.5 with s-off. I gotta get some sleep and see what i can do tommorow. from evreything i have read they say im not bricked if im able to do what i have. but i dont understand why nothing will work.

Sup man your not bricked don't worry or even soft bricked lol.
You should of waited on that updated zip reason it's boot loopin or lockin up is due to the phone never got wiped before the update....
Here is the CWM that will work for you. You need to put the img in your platform tools for ADB. Rename the img file to cwm then plug your phone in while in hboot. Type fastboot flash recovery cwm.img this will put the recovery back on your phone man.
In CWM you can mount your phone and copy a rom you downloaded off xda. Take the rom you downloaded open it up on your computer make a copy of the boot.img place that in your platform tools folder. Now mount your phone using CWM copy the romwhich will put it on your sd card. Now wipe everything. Then while in ADB type : adb reboot bootloader this will take you to hboot again now type fastboot flash boot boot.img this will flash the kernel for you. Now go back into recovery and flash your rom.
You should be good to go man. Let me know if you have any questions.
This should get your phone working...
The good thing about the 3vo is dat its unbrickable just always keep a Rom u ones work an always erase scrub thing / factory reset cutting shortcuts don't work in rooting/dev world

Ok so now that i ran that ruu that changed my hboot to 1.5 is that gonna affect how the cwm installs?even though it says s-off. Also for some reason im having trouble running any commands for fastboot. Ive followed a bunch of guides made sure the envinronemtal variables were correct ect, ect but none of the adb commands will work. Maybe its my pc idk.
Since i cant get fastboot to work on my pc do you think i would just be able to reinstall clockworkmod by renaming it on my sd like you do to root in the first place. Then use it to wipe and then try reflashing?
U might have to re unlock it if ur 3vo says locked at the top if not u should have no problem

I was able to re run the pg86img with the 1.4 hboot now im back on hboot 1.4 still with soff and doesnt say locked anymore. I also was able to install recovery again but i used twrp 1.3 since none of the download links i could find were good and the ones that were good were disk img. I tried running virus superwipe tool and reflashing a rom again to see if anyhtign changed but it didnt. i really just wish i could get the commands to work to use fastboot and adb.
One thing i just noticed in recovery i went into mounts and system and data were unmounted and cache and sdcard were mounted. Do i need to mount everything and try again or was that the way it should of been?

I read about the 1.5 with s-off issue a while back when hboot 1.5 first was released. As long as you have s-off, it doesn't really matter what hboot you have. You'll be able to flash entire ROMs (kernel included) in one step just like you could before your issue arose, because you have s-off. I sadly don't have enough experience with fastboot to be able to give you an easy guide to flashing cwm onto your phone though, but I hope this helps you at least somewhat.
EDIT: I just realized everything I said now doesn't matter since you're not on hboot 1.5 anymore...sorry about that. reaper24 gave you a link to cwm 4.0.1.4 in post #8 in this thread. Stop using TWRP 1.3, there's already a TWRP 2 specifically for EVO 3D and even the latest TWRP has been having issues. CWM has been completely stable for me on every HTC phone I've ever used (Hero CDMA, EVO 4G and now currently the EVO 3D). CWM 4.0.1.4 is in post #8 of this thread as an attachment (it's a small link in between reaper's post and his signature)

If so i can flash recovery img then flash new rom boot img ect. .. i was told i have to do via pc in order to flash the boot partition cause thats whats causing my problem.
I have all the paths specified on my pc and everythign i need in my tools folder but cant cd to anyhting. i have read and read and read im pretty sure i have it all setup right but everytime i cd it says path not specified or not a batch file or soemthing.

i know right. I think what it might be is something i saw earlier about since i flashed the PG86IMG and it took revolutionary off my hboot that i no longer have fastboot. I tried to run some other commands and got the same thing. So for the hell of it i tried to run revolutionary from hbootand fastboot and it just waits for device. But then when i reboot the phone it will recognize it, but it doesnt stay long enough to run revolutionary.No i just have to remember which pg86img it was that made my phone just stay at the white screen so i can run revolutionary. lol
So, I rooted my phone last night and ever since I've been stuck in bootloop. I loaded one rom and it was in bootloop all night until the phone died. I charged the phone up, wiped it and tried another, stuck in bootloop for hours with nothing working. Now, the bigger problem is, I - being an idiot - forgot to do a nandroid backup so there is nothing to restore too, yet when I set it to factory settings it's once again stuck in bootloop.
All my phone now displays is the green HTC logo on the white background, until the phone battery dies.
So... how screwed am I?
EDIT: CDMA, S-on, 1.50, I used HTC dev to root it.
Did you root with HTC dev. You need to flash the boot.IMG using fastboot.

Do what I said. Boot your phone into the boot loader. Select fastboot. Stick the boot.IMG from the Rom you used into the folder on the pc that you used with htcdev.
Connect your device.
Open up command prompt. Navigate to the folder in command prompt where you put the boot.IMG
Type fastboot flash boot boot.IMG
If it works it will say so restart your phone and enjoy.

Meaning I can just nandroid backup this rom? Or do I have to reflash it then flash the new ones over it?
If you want to flash a new rom do a nandroid backup first and then wipe everything. But everytime you flash a new Rom you have to flash the boot.IMG seperatley that was supplied with the Rom if that makes sense. This also applied when doing a recovery.

Unless the boot.IMG is automatically with each rom that does not make sense. However, if that means (which I pretty sure it does, I just need that extra clear clarification) that a new boot.IMG is supposed to be supplied with every single new ROM then that would explain why my phone is still in bootloop. No changes since last time I was on, about an hour ago I took the battery out and restarted it.
So it's still in bootloop whenever I try anything.
Help as well...
Stuck in the same problem. Hboot 1.50, S-on, and I'm trying to load Evergreen's CM7 port. I'm also using CWM 4.x (can't remember number, just the non touch version). Whenever I try to start my phone all I get is the white HTC screen with the little vibrate, then the black screen, and then the HTC screen once again and so on. I've tried flashing the boot from the file and then flashing the ROM with and without the boot.img in the .zip file. Help me. Please.
You need to flash the rom first then restart your phone load in to fastboot and flash the boot.img using fastboot. Search the forums there should be a more detailed way on how to do this. But its pretty much the same instructions I gave in previous post.

If that last reply was meant me, I've already tried that. Doesn't change anything at all.
Ah ok you mentioned you flashed the boot.img first that's all
Also try formatting your sd card or use a spare one and format that and then flashing the Rom and boot.IMG. I had to do that with my desire s.

I am a complete noob. Sprint Evo 3d 1.5 s-on, I have been running Viper IC3D for a month now, loving it,should have stuck with that. I wanted to try one of the Jelly Bean Roms, specifically the Team D.I.R.T. one, but I didn't want to have to keep flashing the two roms back and forth. Found out about Boot Manager Pro on here, and found a thread about using it with hboot 1.5 s-on. followed the instructions, booted into D.I.R.T. rom. fiddled with it, decided to go back to my phone rom. Boot Manager kept unexpectedly closing on me, wouldn't stay open long enough to do anything. So I went into recovery and restored my nandroid of Viper. But D.I.R.T. loaded! Said screw it, and wiped and reflashed Viper. D.I.R.T. loaded! Couldn't get anything but that ROM to load no matter what I did. Uninstalled Boot Manager, nothing but D.I.R.T.So I hunted around here and found a thread that said if all else failed, to manually remove Bootloader from sd and go from there. Did that, and it soft bricked my phone. I can get into recovery, but no matter what I do when I reboot it hangs in HTC white boot screen. I cannot afford another phone and don't get an upgrade til next year. Please Say there is a solution to this! I cried all last night, couldn't sleep, and I'm crying again. Side note, i accidentally erased half the C; Drive on my laptop trying things I found on another android forum,and system restore didn't work. So I'm back here, and I'm scared to try anything else, but I have to do something. Help!!!!!!
Flash the kernel. All will be well.
Viper rom should include boot.img.
Extract it to sdk-tools folder.
Open terminal, cd to sdk-tools directory.
Hold volume plus down on phone. Hit power button on fastboot option.
Plug in phone to computer. It should say fastboot usb on phone screen now. If not, install htc drivers.
Go to terminal. Type "fastboot flash boot boot.img
Should see some stuff happen on computer screen, phone will reboot.
Do that then report back.

can I do this using my rootevo3dnew package? I had a bad experience trying to install android sdk
You don't install sdk-tools. It's just a bunch if exe's in a folder.
That other thing you said, never heard of it.

Yes you can, as long as you have fastboot and adb in there you'll be good, just put the boot.img in the same folder

I'm doomed. I was able to flash CWM this way, although it didn't help me at all. But I tried to flash the boot img and it didn't work. Didn't seem to recognize the command.
I'm cdma s-on? So basically you relocked and flashed an RUU and then relocked?
try to relock and flash with RUU it will work
At first when you were unable to boot back to phone rom, you should have went into recovery and flash the update.zip located in the sdcard/bootmanager/phonerom.
Anyway try to flash back to viperrom again then boot your recovery via fast boot since you are not s-off. And flash the update.zip from the phone rom folder. If everything fails just relock your bootloader and use the ruu.exe and you should be fine.

The command is: fastboot flash boot c:\(navigate to the sdk map with boot.img)\boot.img
For instance. for me it's c:\Users\(my name)\boot.img
Because i have my sdk and boot.img in my User map.
I believe boot manager creates the files for the second rom on the sd card. maybe thats why the D.I.R.T rom is loading.. My advice, try a different sdcard and see if the viper rom starts (you still might have to flash the boot.img via adb because of s-on)
I have no idea where the files for second rom are created so maybe if someone else could help out here. Then it should be a simple matter of deleting the second rom from the sd card and then go ahead and flash your viper rom.

Yes you will have to get new code from htcdev. Though i wouldn't recommend updating hboot cause its known to cause some issues with some roms

did you try holding down the power and volume buttons to load your recovery?
---------- Post added at 02:54 PM ---------- Previous post was at 02:25 PM ----------
May I ask if you can be more specific? such as; what build OTA you have, hboot version, what recovery you have, which rom and/or kernel you are trying to flash, and if you are s-on or s-off
I had a similar problem. I unlocked and rooted my EVO LTE ... Then I tried to install a custom ROM and it just got stuck at the boot animation. I didnt do a back up or anything so I was just stuck. I was able to get into Recovery. As a matter of fact I fixed it last night by loading up flashing that superwipe zip and flashing Stock with Goodies ROM. Now my EVO LTE works fine.

Alright so I am having the same problem with the Paranoid Android ROM it won't boot past the boot animation. I don't have the superwipe zip and the only other ROM I have on my phone is ViperROM which won't even flash. Any help would be appreciated.
You most likely need to flash the kernel. I'm assuming you're s-on?

extract the boot image from the rom, place it in adb folder and open cmd in that folder
shift+right click, open command window here
then connect phone in fastboot and type fastboot flash boot boot.img

Hey there
I had the same problem, just when I loaded the goodies rom it crashed. Can't do anything, except boot into TWRP. Basically if I try to reflash a rom it should solve my problem?
Most likely you need to flash the kernel, use that image flash app or adb tools/android SDK to flash it in fastboot
I had a feeling
First, thanks
Ok, can I use TWRP to flash the Kernel or is there an app or pc that ill have to use?
You can use fastboot to flash the kernel or the image flash app, I havent got a link for it right now but its probably in themes and apps or original development
No PC
I don't have a PC to use. I'm wondering if I could go recovery->advance->terminal command. I see a fast lot process, but requires a PC.
Not that I know of, you need access to fastboot
Dumlock?
Reading on dumlock, else return to project when computer is available. Thanks for the help.
You can't use dumlock without access to android
So it appears
*sigh* got all excited flashed a rom without a kernel, and now **** out of luck. Seemed so much easier for my OGEVO. So my only option is to do a fast boot with a PC using the .zip I have on the sdcard?
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

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
