[HTC EVO 3D] Turge:
Instructions

S-ON Users

If your phone is S-ON, you'll need to perform an extra step before or after flashing the ROM. Without flashing the kernel manually, your phone will not boot. This extra step can be automatically performed if you have 4EXT Recovery Touch v1.0.0.5 RC1 or newer installed.

Installing 4EXT Recovery Touch (You must be able to boot into Android):

Install the 4EXT Recovery Updater while in Android (ie. before flashing this ROM)

Start the 4EXT Recovery app and select "Online install | upgrade"

Follow the normal prompts

Click "Yes" to "connect to 4ext.net to get new data"

When it detects EVO 3D GSM, press "Yes"

Select the top version and acknowledge the prompts and click the "Install" button

The recovery should now download and flash

Once flashed, click "Yes" when asked if your device is S-ON

Click Yes to set the timezone and you're all set to flash the ROM

Reboot into Recovery and flash the ROM

Ensuring 4EXT SmartFlash is enabled:

Boot into 4EXT Recovery 1.0.0.5 RC1 or newer

Select "Tools"

Scroll to the bottom. If it says "enable 4EXT SmartFlash", select it. Otherwise, it's already enabled.

If you have already flashed the ROM and it won't boot, you can perform the 4EXT Recovery method by either restoring your previous ROM from nandroid backup or flash a ROM you have already confirmed to be working. You should now be able to install the 4EXT Recovery using the steps above.

Otherwise, you'll need to flash the kernel manually. To do this, you need to install the fastboot drivers using the "Installing Fastboot and ADB" instructions below and run a command from your computer. These instructions are designed for Windows:

Flashing the kernel using fastboot:

Reboot your phone into "fastboot" mode using the "Booting into Fastboot Mode" instructions

Connect the phone to the computer using the USB cable

Download this kernel to a folder on your computer (eg: c:\boot.img)

Flash the kernel using the command: "fastboot flash boot c:\boot.img"

Reboot your phone with the command "fastboot reboot"

Installing Fastboot and ADB

Download and extract the Fastboot and ADB tools to a folder of your choice

Reboot your phone into "fastboot" mode using the "Booting into Fastboot Mode" instructions

Connect the phone to the computer using the USB cable

Open a Command Prompt and switch to the folder where the fastboot and adb tools are installed (eg. "cd c:\fastboot")

Type "fastboot devices" - it should display something like "HTXXXXXXXXX fastboot"

If it doesn't, you'll need to download and install these fastboot drivers. Once installed, disconnect and reconnect your phone to the computer

The drivers should now be installed.

Booting into Fastboot Mode:

There are several ways to reboot into bootloader mode:

From rooted Android, install the application Quick Boot to easily reboot into Bootloader

In the Recovery, there is usually an option to reboot to bootloader mode. 4EXT has this option under the "Power" menu option

From Android or Recovery, you can reboot into bootloader using "adb reboot bootloader"

By using the "Power" and "Volume Down" button combinations. More info here.

Once you're in bootloader mode, select "Fastboot" with the Volume Up/Down and Power to select.
​

Upgrading the firmware/radio (S-OFF users only):

WARNING: Flashing the new firmware will wipe your data (your apps and settings).

To preserve your data, you should perform a nandroid backup of data using Recovery (or full) before flashing the firmware and restore your data afterwards.

To backup your data using 4EXT Recovery:

Boot into recovery

Select "Backup | Restore"

Select "Advanced Backup"

Select "Data" (the process takes a few minutes)

To restore your data using 4EXT Recovery:

Boot into recovery

Select "Backup | Restore"

Select "Advanced Restore"

Select "Data"

Select "Restore from Advanced Backup"

Select your backup (usually the last one)

Upgrading the firmware:

Copy the new firmware file (PG86IMG.ZIP from the Downloads section in post #1) to the root of your SD card (eg. /sdcard/PG86IMG.ZIP)

Reboot into Bootloader mode using the "Booting into Fastboot mode" instructions above

Your SD card will be scanned for the update

When prompted, select "Yes" to update using Volume Up

Once the process completes, reboot the phone

If wanting to boot into recovery, remove the SD card from your phone, mount it on your computer and delete PG86IMG.ZIP from the card
