Well, when I said downgrade, I didn't mean back to GB but rather back to earlier ICS versions (prior to 2.89). So I have a question, if I upgrade to the new firmware without the new HBoot and Kernel, will that affect my ability to go to pre 2.89 versions of ICS (MR 2.4 for example)? I would like the new radio and had fogotten about Freeza's firmware upgrade without Hboot.
[HTC EVO 3D] djalbanian:
Just got a new 4g lte guys, apparently they had handed me another refurbished evo3d that was a dud, and i just couldnt take it anymore...the phone would be on bootloop when i would wake up and it wouldnt be any roms fault..i decide to use my upgrade. See you guys there
[HTC EVO 3D] brotski:
From what I've read the firmware only will not affect any rom's running. Only the h-boot. I have the new firmware and 2.6 and I'm totally stable and I think my battery life might actually be slightly better.
[HTC EVO 3D] ccs86:
I'm running MR2.6 as flash with hboot 1.4 s-off, forcing roam only and getting 3G data just fine.
[HTC EVO 3D] mvansomeren:
Thanks, I'll give it a shot and see if it helps with the reboot and freezing issues. Maybe the 2.89 base really needs that firmware to operate properly?
[HTC EVO 3D] brotski:
I did the firmware update a few days before I skipped from 2.4 to 2.6.. that part only took me like 3 minutes so it's totally worth a shot.
[HTC EVO 3D] cinnabarcorp:
One thing I can't seem to fix is that when you get a text message, the screen doesn't turn on.

You know when the lock screen would go on and like the weather thing would play for a sec then it shows the text message preview on the lock screen for a few seconds then turn off??

After I flashed to this ROM, It wouldn't do that. It just plays the ringtone and the screen stays off...

Anyone know how to fix that???
[HTC EVO 3D] Shardog:
I have been using this rom for a few days as my daily driver. So far so good, thanks for all your hard work.

I agree that the sound is pretty low. Also is there any way to shut off the shutter sound on the camera?
[HTC EVO 3D] ramjet73:
If you flash coolexe's v3 camera and music mods, there is a switch in the camera settings for the shutter sound and the volume will be much louder.

I guess its the same case as for some of the htcdev unlocked s-on's out there... Some are lucky to run anything without trouble and some dont... I guess its all about the phone... IMO... Wierd...
[HTC EVO 3D] mpgrimm2:
THe answer is no. If you stay away from the Hboot 1.58 & 2.89 Kernel, you should be able to bounce around as you see fit (as far as anyone knows right now). I'm on Hboot 1.58/S-Off (mr 2.6/athx 3.1.7) also and see no reason to go back yet either.

See the Hboots/S-Off Differences Thread for more info.

[HTC EVO 3D] brotski:
I cannot find that setting anymore.. I remember how I had to find it when I wanted to turn it off once, I couldn't figure out why my battery was dying all the time and I was pocket dialing people and whatnot but it was because it'd start out by trying to reply from my pocket to texts when the screen came on! I looked and can't find it at all right now but I'm happy if's off by default! (if I found the switch I'd have told you where it was tho)
[HTC EVO 3D] dimebagdan65:
After much deliberation, I have some bad news. Due to the wildly varying setups (diff hardware, firmware, hboot, etc...) available for this ROM, I've decided not to do another guide for ICS like I did for gingerbread. A lot of the concepts covered in that guide are still relevant and applicable (link2sd, re-odexing, etc...) but with so many mods available or not available now, it would just be futile to attempt a comprehensive guide like I did with gingerbread on the new ICS base. And as I have no complaints with MeanROM 2.4, I think that's where I'm going to stay until next June when it's time to upgrade. It's been an awesome ride getting to know all you Meanies and (hopefully) providing some assistance and insight when I could. Keep on posting in the Meanies Group (666 ftw!) and by all means (no pun intended, or is it intended...?) keep in touch either on Twitter or Google+!
[HTC EVO 3D] MakeMoves:
****! Just tried flashing the camera and music mod v3 on this rom and i am stuck at the meanrom ics screen.

Pretty sure this has to do with the fact that i'm s on, still not used to this coming from other devices.

Is there a way to fix this (preferably without a hard reset)?

Also what is the procedure to flash mods with s on?

I would greatly appreciate any help guys.
[HTC EVO 3D] mpgrimm2:
Then you are doing something wrong. From some of your other posts, I'm wondering if you are on or have flashed the VM firmware

---------- Post added at 02:39 AM ---------- Previous post was at 02:30 AM ----------

With S-On, anything you flash from recovery (the zips) should be done by entering the recovery via fastboot command prompts. (or 4ext with "smartflash"/S-On checked in settings. But this only works if you have a bootable rom). You should wipe cache/dalvik first at a minimum.

Example (see the Hboot Guide in my signature for more specifics):

fastboot flash recovery command (not needed if you did this previously):

Type: fastboot flash recovery YourRecoveryFilename.img

Fastboot boot to recovery cmd:

Type: fastboot boot YourRecoveryFilename.img

You may need to restore the boot.img to get it to boot (extract from rom.zip)

Type: fastboot flash boot boot.img

If this doesn't work you will likely need to superwipe & reflash all over or restore your backup (you made one right?).
[HTC EVO 3D] MakeMoves:
I typed in fastboot flash recovery Modified_SuperWipe.zip, and also tried CamMod-v3-CDMA.zip

for both i got remote image error (bootMagic check fail)

What is the YourRecoveryFilename.img?
[HTC EVO 3D] mpeg3s:
Anyone else having a problem with the Swype license?

It's slowing my games down.
[HTC EVO 3D] MakeMoves:
OK so I think I just messed something up.

I had 2 recovery files, one that just said recovery.img and another that said recovery-twrp-shooter-1.0.3.img

I accidentaly flashed the recovery.img first, then the other one. Now when i tried to type in fastboot boot recovery-twrp-shooter-1.0.3.img it restarted to the htc screen, then restarted again to the htc screen, then got stuck at the meanrom ics screen.

even if I try to go to recovery from hboot it does the same thing, I cannot go to recovery at all now!

This is why one should never do this kind of think late night. What do I do now?

[HTC EVO 3D] coal686:
Try downloading the latest twrp from their site 2.2.0. Flash it using fastboot flash recovery filename.img.

EDIT: use 4ext. They have a flashable img in their thread here. Thanks mpgrimm2.

Then type fastboot boot recovery (mpgrimm2's directions had a typo I think). That should do it. You should be able to get there from bootloader too.

I recommend 4ext over twrp, but I don't think they have a flashable img version.

EDIT: See above edit.

Also, the mods you tried to flash have to be flashed from recovery, not through fastboot.

And get s-off. It'll make flashing a lot easier.

Makemoves, sorry if you got.left hanging there, My Cox internet at home went out while I was in the middle.of trying out/setting up a new rom. I assumed you had already unlocked & flashed Meanrom successfully and therefore understood the basics (flash the mods via recovery), or.I misunderstood your issue. In which case I'm sorry.

Thanks Coal for stepping in to help.

In the 4ext thread op, there is now a link to download a recovery.IMG that can be flashed to the phone with fastboot.

I tried searching again and I found the cure. This is probably old news, but this link provided the fix I needed.

Through a file explorer app (ES File Explorer), go into system/app/ and delete Google search apk. Reboot into recovery and install the zip. The install failed for me twice. I tried it again and it took. Works great now! :victory:

Like I said, maybe old news, but if there are people like me out there, I hope this helps! :D

Hboot 1.58 s-on locked

I was going to install MeanROM v2.6, but found I have the above condition. Bought this Evo 3D used so I could get 4G wimax while waiting for 4G LTE on my EVO 4G LTE. Have been searching, but haven't found a workaround. Anyone know of a way to get it going?
[HTC EVO 3D] The Mac:
just go get a new recovery and flash it from fastboot, should overwrite it.

then:

fastboot boot recovery.img

should bring you right into the recovery. Assuming you are unlocked, you will be able to flash kernals as well when booted directly from fastboot.
[HTC EVO 3D] MakeMoves:
Thanks so much for all your help. I flashed 4ext and got meanrom to work. The camera and music mods w beats still gets struck at animation no matter what I've tried. Does this rom really have beats audio? I could not find an option for it anywhere.
[HTC EVO 3D] coal686:
In the HTC music app, play a song. Hit menu, Sound enhancer. It will be there.

I'm surprised the beats mod did not work. It has been suggested that it needs leedroid tweaks installed first, but I don't know.

[HTC EVO 3D] ramjet73:
I've installed the coolexe v3 music mod with and without Leedroid Tweaks and had it working both ways. The procedure I posted had the coolexe version of Leedroid in it because I'm using that now, but it shouldn't be necessary.

I'm not sure how people are deciding if it's working or not since the base Mean ROM 2.6 has beats and as you said it shows in the sound enhancer options of the HTC Music player. If people are looking for the beats notifications, you have to go into beats audio/beats options in the system settings menu and check the wired headset beats box or the notifications won't appear.

I have no idea why installing the beats mod would cause boot problems, at least if the mod is installed with the ROM before the first boot as part of a clean install.

Since I don't have the boot problem I can't test this, but another thing that could be tried is resetting permissions while still in recovery.

DUAL MEIDs???
[HTC EVO 3D] MakeMoves:
yes i tried that. did teh modified superwipe, wiped davlink and cache, installed meanrom, then camera, then music with beats, wiped davlink and cache again, rebooted and got stuck at the animation screen. The only difference is that i get a slight vibration every few seconds when stuck.

Usually when flashing a rom, after i get the vibration once after a few seconds it boots up, but in this case just loops.

i noticed in your directions you have hboot 1.58, i have 1.5 maybe thats the issue, also Im s on and using 4ext
[HTC EVO 3D] ramjet73:
I'm back to the engineering (ENG) bootloader right now since I don't need the 2.89 kernel for anything at this point, but still S-OFF, and haven't had any problems with the coolexe mods.

If you really want to use the coolexe music mod, consider getting S-OFF with the Juopunutbear wire trick or the hboot 1.4 downgrade. I'm really not sure if it would make a difference in this case or not, but there are definitely less issues flashing ROM's and mod's when S-OFF.

ramjet73
[HTC EVO 3D] The Mac:
i had the same problem with s-off dont forget...
[HTC EVO 3D] MakeMoves:
Tried with fixing permissions, still hangs at animation.

S off is too intimidating for me on this one, not messing with any wires.

Officially giving up on this one.
[HTC EVO 3D] ramjet73:
May not be the same problem since what fixed it for you doesn't work for him. There are just too many combinations and permutations for this phone with all the software and firmware releases so debugging issues like this has gotten very complicated. :(

Being S-OFF definitely helps since a lot of the people that help out in these forums have already gone that route.

ramjet, you were trying to get xloud for meanrom, have you checked this?

That was banccalif's (who has moved to an Evo 4G LTE) favorite mod on MeanROM 2.4 and earlier, but I don't think it's been updated to the 2.89 build. Also, predator seems to have gotten banned from XDA for some reason unrelated to this mod.

I'm still looking for an xloud mod that works with MeanROM ICS and the 2.89 build. The coolexe ICS ROM seems to have it working, but everytime I've tried the aroma installer for the XxXPachaXxX version on MeanROM ICS it wipes out all my settings.

ramjet73
[HTC EVO 3D] The Mac:
even though coolexe ICS rom says its in there, im not so sure its working...my test samples dont sound even close to the GB rom i was using that had it activated (Noctural Adrenaline)

in the link above, i saw a post that said it was for the 'new' base...whatever that means...most likely the VM leak rather than the OTA update.

it looks like Pacha's is for GSM, so the framework may be different.

i really, really, really like meanrom, but i need my sound....
[HTC EVO 3D] ramjet73:
OK, I found a combination that works for everything, at least for me. And the speaker is definitely louder. :)

1. If MeanROM ICS 2.6 is installed, nandroid backup current configuration.

2. Use 4EXT recovery to wipe all partitions except SD (will format your sd-ext partition if using link2sd) & run modified superwipe.

3. Flash MeanROM ICS 2.6.

4. Flash coolexe version of Leedroid Tweaks for 2.89 (optional, except if previously installed when doing data partition restore in step 8).

5. Flash the CDMA version of the XxXPachaXxX Sony Exclusive Pack.

6. Reboot recovery from 4EXT power menu (see comment below).

7. Flash coolexe camera and beats music mods.

8. Restore data partition from step 1 or boot and do new setup. You may also need to advance restore your sd-ext partition if you use link2sd and wiped all partitions except SD in step 2.

The reason for step 6 is that running Aroma seems to affect 4EXT such that the coolexe mods won't flash without a reboot of recovery.

This was all done using the 1.04 engineering (ENG) bootloader with the other 2.89 firmware installed, but it should work with the 1.58 bootloader as well.

At this point I have everything that I was running on MeanROM 2.4 with the exception of schmeggy929's icons, and I can live with the default MeanROM icons.

I notice that Smith.apk is in this ROM, and occasionally it is running in my task list. I was under the impression that Smith.apk was basically a leftover and renamed spy program by HTC or affiliates. While I also have read that it doesn't actually report any information at this time, it does seem to be running sometimes.

Is this program safe to delete manually, and should it be removed in future ROM versions?

Check the advanced settings in the default browser and make sure that flash is enabled as either on demand or always on. The on demand setting will use less memory when it's not in use.

[HTC EVO 3D] ramjet73:
You just helped me figure out why my settings disappeared when I flashed the Sony mod after I was up and running with MeanROM 2.6. The partition numbers are one lower on the GSM versus the CDMA model of the Evo 3D due to the WiMax partition so the script was formatting /dev/block/mmcblk0p24 (data) instead of /dev/block/mmcblk0p25 (cache) which wiped out the data partition, including settings. I've changed the post to link to a modified version for CDMA that formats the cache partition as intended. All the other references to partitions are by their mount points so they are OK.

I guess we need to watch our for that when using GSM mods on the CDMA model.

Not sure what the problem is since at least three of us have done it successfully. If you try it again make sure you give it plenty of time to boot as it take a while the first boot. It might be the 2.89 kernel, as the procedure didn't include flashing that from the MeanROM-ICS folder.

Stuck on HTC white screen after flashing MeanROM

So, I know there have been posts about this in other threads but it seems to usually occur after an update. So, I did a full wipe, installed MeanROM, everything went fine. I rebooted and it just sticks at the HTC white screen. Now, no ROM will boot past the white HTC screen (that I've tried). I even tried following the steps here (http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1808150) to try flashing a stock OTA to see if I could get past the white screen. At this point I'm out of ideas. The phone is unlocked via HTC (S-ON) and has HBOOT 1.50

Any ideas?
[HTC EVO 3D] mariojp:
Did you flash the kernel from the rom using flashGUI app?
[HTC EVO 3D] Miamicane99:
No, the kernel is in the ROM, no? This isn't my phone btw so I'm just trying to figure out how to get it running again. At this point I couldn't get into flash anything from an app. Is there a .zip I can use to flash the kernel from recovery?
[HTC EVO 3D] ramjet73:
That's a good idea. It sounds like you are stuck without a working kernel and 4EXT SmartFlash won't work without a bootable kernel.

The other thing you can try is flashing MeanROM ICS after starting recovery with fastboot on your PC. If you are hboot 1.5 S-ON you should be familiar with that procedure since it was used to initially root your stock ROM.

And there is always the possibility that you have one of the phones that won't run ICS with S-ON, in which case you need to get S-OFF or stay with GB.
