Is Leedroid tweaks ever going to be updated to work with this ROM?
[HTC EVO 3D] ramjet73:
Multiple people have asked for that in the Leedroid Tweaks for ICS thread but there's been no response yet. :(

Edit: I just checked the Leedroid Tweaks thread again and it seems that the problem is with flashing themed Leedroid versions that haven't been updated for the new OTA. I was flashing one of schmeggy929's versions so I'll try again with the vanilla Leedroid after my nandroid backup finishes.

Can you flash the 2.89 kernel using the engineering boot, or does that bootloader also have to be switched to 1.58 to flash the 2.89 kernel? Thanks.
[HTC EVO 3D] coal686:
I believe the 2.89 kernel checks for the 1.58 hboot and refuses to boot otherwise.

EDIT: It might not check hboot, just firmware. See ramjet's post below.

Hey mikey can you add sense 4 keyboard with arrow onto this rom? Thanks
[HTC EVO 3D] ramjet73:
I know that there have been a lot of posts saying that the 1.58 bootloader is required to boot the OTA kernel, but I think it's really the other firmware included with the OTA that's required and it just updates the hboot to 1.58 at the same time the other components are installed. I haven't flashed the new firmware yet, but if anyone that has wants to test that theory the bootloader flashable zip files for both the engineering 1.04 version and the stock 1.58 version are attached.

Make sure you have a bootable ROM installed before you try it as you will need to delete/rename/swap the PG6IMG.zip in the root of SD in order to switch bootloaders and/or be able to boot into recovery from the bootloader. If no one who has already installed the new firmware wants to try it that's fine, and when I'm confident that the the 2.89 firmware update is either reversible or doesn't interfere with ROM's based on other builds I'll flash the new firmware and try it myself.

[HTC EVO 3D] danaff37:
You could use the latest twrp-it has a file manager and a keyboard so you can move or rename files
[HTC EVO 3D] ramjet73:
The problem is that once you put a file named PG86IMG.zip in the root of your SD card, the bootloader will try to install it every time you enter the bootloader, and will do a normal reboot from the boot partition if you don't install it. Since you can't setup fastboot USB or choose to boot recovery from the bootloader, the only way to update the PG86IMG.zip file is to let it boot into a working ROM (if you have one) or do it on another device that can update a micro SD card.

I will say that i was HBOOT 1.50, used the dev unlock back in november. Did the wire trick method to get S-off right after it came out, flashed the optional Jbear HBOOT 1.50.50.50. I did DigitalHighs PG86IMG firmware update that DID NOT contain the new HBOOT or boot.img. I can flash this fine & run 2.89 kernels with ZERO issues.
[HTC EVO 3D] ramjet73:
That's what I thought. Thanks for the confirmation.

Do you know if you can still flash and run ROM's based on the GB 2.17 build or the VM ICS leak?

[HTC EVO 3D] ramjet73:

That's correct. As long as you are S-OFF that trumps the bootloader being locked and you can flash anything you want.

[HTC EVO 3D] bambamishere:
Ok thanks,one other thing seems when I flashed the 2.8 kernel the name stayed the same,what would cause that?
[HTC EVO 3D] mikeyxda:
Could be 1.5 and 1.58 both work. All I can tell you is that I know it won't work with 1.4 s-off because I flashed the whole firmware file without the hboot and it didn't work. As soon as I added the hboot 1.58, it worked. So it appears that you need at least hboot 1.5 and the firmware.

Mike
[HTC EVO 3D] alammori:
Edit

I am S-Off with Hboot 1.58 reversed to the Hboot 1.04 and landed into bootloop. I flashed back into Hboot 1.58 and now I am up and running again.

So this kernel is definitely checking for the HBoot version 1.58 .

Edit: or maybe need 1.5 to work. I did not test it though.

[HTC EVO 3D] vat829:
Mikey can you add stock battery with percentage too?
[HTC EVO 3D] ramjet73:
Yes, changing your bootloader does not affect your bootloader locked/unlocked or S-OFF/S-ON status. You may see the *** LOCKED *** status with the 1.58 bootloader if you were running one of the Revolutionary or JuopunutBear bootloaders before, but that was already your bootloader's status and it was just masked by the custom name. Having a locked bootloader when you are S-OFF is not a problem.

Because I tried flashing the ROM with h-boot 1.5 unlocked with S-ON. And its going into the bootloop.

I think i made a mistake while flashing, maybe.

[HTC EVO 3D] coal686:
No, the newest kernel is a separate flash. You are having bootloops because you are s-on (most s-on phones bootloop on ICS ROMs). I recommend s-off.

The message from 4EXT indicates that you are set to S-ON (SmartFlash). If you are S-OFF go into the Tools menu and disable that, otherwise you will need a working kernel to flash using SmartFlash.

I guess I should mention that I'm running 4.5 in bootmanager though
[HTC EVO 3D] ramjet73:
Based on the feedback in this thread, I bit the bullet and did the version of the firmware update that includes hboot 1.58, then flashed the ENG (1.04) bootloader to see if it can flash the 2.89 kernel.

When the 2.89 kernel was flashed with the ENG bootloader I got boot loops so I flashed the 1.58 bootloader, reflashed the kernel and it booted successfully. So the easiest thing for S-OFF users to do if they want to run builds based on the OTA is just flash the firmware .zip that contains that bootloader. It appears that the 1.4 and ENG (1.04) bootloaders aren't going to work with this build.

Start counting right as you touch the contacts and not when you feel it vibrate. If you don't get it just keep trying. With a simple method like this, all evo3d's should be s-off.

[HTC EVO 3D] ramjet73:
Another Alternative

My phone was doing some wierd things and I wanted to make sure it is as close to the official Sprint ICS release as possible so I started over and took this approach:

1. Flash 2.17.651.5 RUU.exe from Windows (no prep required if you are locked and S-OFF)

2. Take the Sprint ICS OTA and install it

3. Flash 4EXT recovery in bootloader using PG86IMG.zip

4. Nandroid backup my entirely (unrooted) stock Sprint ICS ROM

5. Restore and test nandroid and test MeanROM ICS 2.4 (VM Leak base)

6. Superwipe and install MeanROM ICS 2.6 with 2.89 kernel using 4EXT

7. Nandroid backup MeanROM ICS 2.6

8. Restore and test nandroid backup of MeanROM GB 4.3

9. Superwipe and install MeanROM 4.3 GB from ROM .zip

10. Restore nandroid backup of MeanROM ICS 2.6

The good news is that all the ICS stuff and the nandroid restore of MeanROM GB worked. The bad news is that the fresh install of MeanROM GB 4.3 rebooted every time it got to the lock screen. I tried various combinations of superwipes and 4EXT formatting and couldn't get the fresh GB install to work, so my conclusion is that restoring GB ROM's with the new bootloader and firmware should work, but fresh installs could have problems. That leaves a choice of having to work around the ICS issues with the 2.17 firmware, or upgrading to 2.89 and living with whatever nandroids you already have of GB ROM's.

This procedure allowed me test the new firmware, including hboot 1.58, with the VM leak ICS base, the new Sprint ICS base, and the GB 2.17 base using both nandroid restores and fresh installs. Steps 1-4 took me about an hour and a half but it was time well spent to make sure I have a clean Sprint ICS base. When a 2.89 RUU.exe is available it can be used to replace steps 1 and 2.

I'm not necessarily recommending this procedure for everyone, but it's a pretty clean approach, especially if you are already S-OFF. S-ON users can still follow this procedure but they will need to relock their bootloader before step 1 and HTC unlock after step 2. For S-ON users the custom recovery would need to be flashed via fastboot in step 3 because S-Off is needed to flash it from the bootloader since recovery is part of the firmware.

[HTC EVO 3D] NineInchNails:
Init.d is a folder, as Grimm mentions below, not a file. Depending on the Rom there can be different scripts located in it. I.E. 90zram, 80batterycalibration, 01sysctl, 20userinit and many more. Some of those, again depending on the Rom, can interfere with values set in init.post_boot.sh or init.qcom.post_boot.sh no matter stock or custom kernel IF you enter values into init boot. Some can be redundant and others will interfere with each other.

To anyone still confused.

Besides flashing MR, the same procedure Grimm posted here is what is needed to first boot VenomRom 8/2. Could be different for other OTA updated Roms including MR here but just trying to cut down all the questions concerning the hboot 1.58 s off and 2.89 fw.

IMO any new Roms to come will most likely need these to boot. Drawback is some older ICS Roms may not work. Haven't been able to test this theory yet.
[HTC EVO 3D] saboxerman:
I tried getting an answer to this, but, got overlooked: Did you use the Revolutionary method to obtain S-OFF?

This basically answers my question. I will maintain root and S-OFF and should run into any future problems flashing. Was I correct to see someone reporting they are running a GB ROM with HBOOT 1.58?

I like the ROM and it runs very well, however, even from the first versions of it, I get a weird touchscreen issue. When I press and hold to relocate/add icons/widgets to my home screens, the green frame that appears behind the icon/widget is offset or out of alignment and it blinks as if my digitizer is bad. That's the best way I can explain it.

Please understand, I've already thoroughly eliminated the possibility of it being my digitizers. I've ran multiple ROM's, GB and ICS, and this is the only one I have encountered this problem.

Do you have a possible solution?
[HTC EVO 3D] coal686:
Ramjet did a very thorough test of which ROM will run (GB, ICS leak, etc) here: http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?p=29764326. His conclusion was a fresh install of a GB ROM would not work, but a Nandroid of one does.
