Hi guys
My evo 3d cant flash any ics rom.
I just rooted yesterday and today i wanted to install virtous rom.
It did show that it was installed succesfully but when i reboot my phone.
it stuck on the htc logo screen....
Any idea why?

Pls help..........
EDIT: I m on hboot 1.49.0011, S-ON
I m keep getting error status 1 when i flash rom using recovery....

Thanks in advance.

EDIT: I have successfully s-off and unlock my bootloader. I am having 4ext recovery. However I can't install custom Rom such as virtuous eclipse. The only Rom that I can install successfully is shooter beats.

Frist you will need to downgrade to HBOOT 1.49.1107 and then S-OFF your phone.. just rooting it does not help.!!
Just follow this to downgrade :

and this for S-off:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=17233858&postcount=1

(SCROLL DOWN until you see : S-OFF & ROOT)


Keep in mind that in order to do downgrade you need to relock your phone and when its time to S-OFF it you need to unlock it again :)! good luck!

Install 4ext touch recovery and flash the Rom....or flash the boot.img from any other Rom if that Rom doesn't have the boot.img which have the same base using fastboot.....

Hmmmm...What do you mean you cant install it ?? you got stuck at HTC logo ?? Tomorrow or the day after i am going to upload a full video tutorial how to start from zero in order to be able to flash custom roms :) unlock/root/S-off-cwm etc...

and about the Victuous rom before you flash it..have you flashed the superuser?

Hi
I did not meant that my phone will stuck on htc logo when flash a new rom. I couldn't install the ics rom in the first place. When i click install zip from the sd card in the recovery. Its shows updating package then, it shows some error on the file.
I thought it was the file at first but i downloaded back and the same error appeared.
I m running custom rom shooter beats right now and thats the only rom that works for me right now.

I hope u can help me... Thanks for ur reply.

Anyway to relock my phone? The guide you posted for downgrade says it should only be done with vodaphone Evo 3D's, whatever that is. I have the Sprint CDMA one and am experience the same problem. I have Hboot 1.5
