That's one way, and I think the easiest way to get S-OFF on the E3D. The original method was to downgrade to hboot 1.4 by bricking the phone, and there is a sticky thread for that as well.

[HTC EVO 3D] Miamicane99:
Thanks! Just to be clear, I need to use the JuopunutBear method not the Revolutionary method as it seems HBOOT 1.5 is not supported. Is that correct?

---------- Post added at 03:00 PM ---------- Previous post was at 02:48 PM ----------

Actually, sorry for being such a 3D noob but I'm not going to spend a bunch of time going S-OFF for a phone that's not mine. Can somebody point me towards a solid Ginger Bread rom that I can throw on this thing? All I'm seeing are ICS roms. Thanks again!
[HTC EVO 3D] molitar:
I found an issue when I update my ROM to this one my Link2SD are always broken.. got my new phone.. did all the official upgrades to it.. than unlocked and S-Off with wire trick and upgraded my kernel to one that allows overclocking. All working fine..

I than upgraded to this ROM reflashed my kernel to the one I can overclock and it reports my ext partition was not mounted at boot up so links are broken and I have to recreate them. Does your ROM not auto mount ext4 partitions?
[HTC EVO 3D] The Mac:
sticking on the white HTC screen means the kernal did not flash.

Since you are s-on:

you will need to extract the boot.img from the rom and flash it from fastboot since you cant get into the rom to use FlashGUI.

FASTBOOT FLASH BOOT BOOT.IMG

or you can boot the recovery directly from fastboot, and reflash the rom

FASTBOOT BOOT RECOVERY.IMG

[HTC EVO 3D] mvansomeren:
Just wanted to post an update. Flashing the new firmware without Hboot 1.58 or the 2.89 kernel did not resolve the rebooting issue.

The phone will go for about 2 or 2 1/2 days before it starts to reboot. If I restore a backup that I created after I flashed the firmware, the rebooting will stop for another 2 days or so and then start again. It's almost as if some sort of buffer fills up over the two days and then finally overflows and causes the reboots. I've done a super-wipe and re install of the ROM but the same thing happens.

Any ideas?
[HTC EVO 3D] ramjet73:
Since you are S-OFF, I would try flashing the 2.89 RUU to make sure everything is 100% in sync, then you can flash a recovery through the bootloader and a rooted ROM from there. I've done that already for my phone and it was pretty easy.

You might even try running the stock 2.89 ROM after flashing the RUU if the problem still exists after that. It could be a hardware problem.

ramjet73
[HTC EVO 3D] The Mac:
my phone has always done that on every rom ive ever tried, even stock RUUs, s-off, and s-on.

i just pull the battery for a few secs and its good to go for a few more days.

i've never discovered the cause, i just assumed it was a kernel panic of some form and dealt with it.
[HTC EVO 3D] ramjet73:
Most of us came from the MeanROM GB ROM, which would be a good place to start.

Version 4.5 is the most curent.

[HTC EVO 3D] molitar:
If you use LINK2SD DO NOT USE THIS ROM!! This is a warning.. It breaks all links.. I'm going back to STOCK until I can find a compatible ROM with Link2SD.. I got nearly 2 GB of apps that won't link now.
[HTC EVO 3D] ramjet73:
I'm using Link2SD with MeanROM ICS 2.6 and my apps are working. I just let Link2SD recreate the moount script, rebooted, then relinked all the applications and dalvik-cache files.

The instructions are at the end of this FAQ.

Edit: Make sure you didn't format sd-ext with the 4EXT "format all partitions except SD card" or restore a ROM that had nothing in the sd-ext partition when it was backed up. If you did, look for a nandroid that had the contents of your sd-ext partition intact and do an advanced restore of just the sd-ext from that backup, then relink the apps and dalvik-cache in Link2SD.

I'm still having trouble with text selection. When double tapping a word, it gets selected, then immediately a cursor inserts mid word.

Also when trying to long press to paste instead of pasting where your cursor is, it selects text either above or below it, leaving you to replace that text with your pasting.
[HTC EVO 3D] coal686:
I don't have the selection issue, but I have the same issue with pasting in all the ICS Roms. What I do is type a single letter, hold my finger on it so it gets selected, and then select paste.

I've run into that also. Not sure why or what release (2.89 base?) it started with but its annoying as can be. I usually just type one letter & copy/paste over it.

Well, Mikey's OP has the details, but it depends on if you want to go back to GB/AOSP roms or go with ICS from here on out (You can get back since you are s-Off).

Have a look at the Hboot/S-Off Differences Thread and My MeanRom Setup from the same thread.
[HTC EVO 3D] sonza:
I have to suspect it has something to do with the formatting of the external partition. I do not use the phone to set up the partitions on my sd card. I take it out, use the adapter and put the sd card in my computer. Then I used a third party free program to set up my sd card partitions. I am running a 32GB sandisk card with 6GB set up as a ext4 partition, and the rest as a FAT32 partition. Once I had the partitions set up and formatted, I then copied the roms I wanted to flash to the fat32 partition in a folder called firmware (go figure) and then placed the card into the phone, booted to recovery and began flashing roms. I have never had an issue getting mine to see the external partition, and have been using link2sd for quite a while. There are some settings you need to verify in link2sd that are not enabled by default, (at least on mine) that keep it working. On mine, I have to check the "autolink" both "relink" buttons, as well as making sure all three buttons are checked under the autolink settings.

On the two epics in the house, I tried using the phone to set up and partitions on the sd card and had nothing but trouble with link2sd. I would have given them a do not use review except the fact mine was working fine, so I suspected something I did was partially at fault. I thought about what I had done differently, and finally bit the bullet and just set up their sd cards with my computer, and all the issues went away. To keep from having to reload their roms (which is a bit more of a pain) I used rom tool box, to back up all their applications to the sd card, (use what ever program you are comfortable with) and saved the contents of the sd card to my computer before wiping and reformatting it. Then copied all the contents back and reinstalled the card. There were a few apps that needed to be restored for some reason, but link2sd has been fine since.

Just to be clear, I am running link2sd on my evo3d, with meanrom 2.6 and have not had a lick of problems, so it will work.

Enjoy the rest of the weekend.
[HTC EVO 3D] molitar:
Well I found out that if I use my Link2SD and move all my apps to the EXT4 partition I can do a full wipe/factory reset and than do an install and not have to reinstall all my apps. Just reinstall Link2SD and remount and relink and all my apps are back. Which is good because I think alot of problems are after I got ROM working I than tried to use other programs and it appears ICS is not as resilient as GB and starts the UI has stopped responding.

Really ICS is really unstable compared to GB when it modifying it. So every time something is added that requires installing from recovery than it appears to need factory reset every time or it gets the System UI has stopped responding. So general rule with ICS it seems is if it requires booting to recovery to load from zip than wipe to make sure it works.

So I think most of the problems stems from the zips like the kernel and such after getting the ROM working.
[HTC EVO 3D] ramjet73:
Just the beats version of the audio mod since Mike included beats in the base MeanROM ICS 2.6.

---------- Post added at 06:23 AM ---------- Previous post was at 06:08 AM ----------

I've formatted my 32GB SanDisk card with 4EXT and have had no problems with link2SD. More ROM's, especially the AOSP based versions, are requiring a "format all partitions except SD" and you need to understand that this will format your sd-ext partition(s) even though it doesn't format the first fat32 sdcard partition. If you are using link2SD with another ROM the second SD card partition will need to be advance restored from a nandroid backup to get the programs back. Doing a full wipe/factory reset may be an alternative, but I haven't tried it with those ROM's.

I really don't think ICS is unstable, it just has a lot more variations than GB did so it requires being aware of what the effects of your actions are, especially when switching between ROM's with different installation requirements.

Go S-OFF by doing the 'wire trick' that can be found on XDA with a few good searches. Once you're S-OFF you'll be just fine.
[HTC EVO 3D] mariojp:
You should have flashed the kernel from the rom with the flash GUI app. I had the same problem.

What you can do is fastboot flash the boot img from this rom and you'll boot up.
[HTC EVO 3D] brotski:
Hrm.. what's 3.0.16-g4211684 ? That's what I have.. maybe I need to reflash my kernal? Everything seems to be running decent.. 1.4 s-off
[HTC EVO 3D] ramjet73:
Alternatively, you can boot whatever recovery you flashed when you rooted the phone by using the "fastboot boot recovery.img" command sfter starting the bootloader (VolumeDown+Power) in fastboot USB mode, then reflash the MeanROM ICS ROM. However, even that doesn't work on some phones that don't like any ICS kernels, and if that's the case your best bet is to go for S-OFF.

After installing 2.6 it worked well for a while using the kernel that was baked in. Then my phone started doing the odd freeze or things being pressed that I didn't touch. I thought maybe

2.6 didn't agree with my phone since I am 1.5 S-ON. I tried installing Cool ICS and the same thing happened with the random freezes. I am now back to my backup of MeanROM 2.4 and the odd freezes are still randomly happening. Not sure why this is happening. Never had problems like this on any ROM....Any suggestions?
[HTC EVO 3D] mvansomeren:
I reported the same thing a few pages back and I'm S-OFF. 2.4 was solid, 2.6 has the issues you described plus the occasional random reboot. I tried installing the new firmware as well w/out Hboot 1.5X. I've done super-wipe three times and it didn't resolve the issues. The last thing I will try is a full factory reset and try 2.6 again. If that doesn't work, I will probably go back to 2.4.
[HTC EVO 3D] roofus3000:
Im having the same problem. Is it my phone, or the rom or the new hboot not agreeing with the hardware in my phone. These "ghost touches" are frustrating!
[HTC EVO 3D] mpgrimm2:
Most people who start having these ghost touch issues on various roms/stock find that the digitizer is going bad on the phone. Hopefully that isn't the case and its something else. If you haven't already, flash the 2.89 Ruu and see if it continues. I personally haven't seen any touch issues on Meanrom.

[HTC EVO 3D] ramjet73:
I just checked Leedroid Tweaks and unfortunately the keyboard icon indicating that you can change input methods in notifications is not one of the icons it will hide. You could try using Titanium Backup or similar utility to delete all the input methods but the one you use, but I haven't tested that myself.

[HTC EVO 3D] ramjet73:
Here's a thread on manual PRL updates. Use at your own risk since Sprint wants us to use the one that downloads automatically. Don't let that scare you off because I know Mike uses one of the corporate PRL's. Just be careful with the Verizon PRL's because Sprint really doesn't like "roam only" users.

ok stupid question #2 what is PRI and does that have to do with the connection. im wondering if PRL isnt what i am looking for. plus my PRL isnt even on his list yet.
[HTC EVO 3D] ramjet73:
The PRI (don't know what it stands for) is one of the firmware modules and the Preferred Roaming List (PRL) is essentially a table that the radio modules use to determine how to connect to the cell sites. AFAIK, the only way to change PRI is to update the firmware and that usually happens with major builds for the phone. For the Evo 3D, the recent upgrade to Sprint's ICS release has the latest firmware.

The PRL is normally downloaded OTA, but as you have seen, there are multiple ways to install it manually. The PRL's in the thread linked previously are kind of old, but you should be able to find information about more current PRL's by doing XDA or Google searches using a more recent PRL number.

Edit: Here's a thread with more recent PRL's.

[HTC EVO 3D] ramjet73:
Beats tends to favor the bass, and with the midrange and treble reduced it might sound somewhat "bleak". You might want to try this setup because the xloud mod really helps and I think the beats support is a little better in the current coolexe mod. You don't have to flash Leedroid Tweaks or the camera mod if you don't want them.
