This will not change Virgin Mobile from your Banner if you flash. The only way to change that is Unknown's tool. However, if it is not causing problems, don't worry about it.

So I'm on mean Rom 2.4, not the official obviously. Why can't I just flash the Rom in the OP? Do I have to flash the firmware? I see on some other official ics ota roms its just flash the Rom and that's it...sorry a bit confused

There are other ota ICS roms that have been made to work with other HBOOT.

Help!

I tried the steps in the OP but did something out of sequence and have the red triangle when booting. I've tried RUU's with bootloader locked and unlocked (1.5) but getting USB errors or it'll take but just keeps booting back to bootloader. I was able to flash twrp 1.0.3 recovery via adb but can't flash anything in recovery. When I try to install any ROM.zip from recovery, nothing is showing on my SD card. I've read and researched and am out of ideas. Any suggestions? Also, I cant flash any PG86IMG. I've added .zip removed .zip, but my card cant see it. I've formatted card in TWRP. I've switched cards too.

Edit: I also copied nandroid backup back to card and tried to restore. It goes through the restore process, but won't boot.

I'm scared to upgrade my hboot to 1.58! I'm on 1.40 & haven't had any problems... Can anyone explain what the difference is? And the correct way if I do get brave and upgrade! Thanks...
[HTC EVO 3D] rootlinux:
HBOOT 1.58 isn't needed unless you are planning on flashing a rom that requires it.

Most roms do not.

Even most base 2.89 roms have been modified to work with older hboots.

If I am not mistaken it is all dependent on the kernel used.

You may need to update firmware even on some roms that do not require hboot 1.58.

ramjet73
[HTC EVO 3D] rootlinux:
It has to be flashed from bootloader.
[HTC EVO 3D] raptoro07:
It is more than just the kernel as I have flashed a 2.89/HBOOT 1.58 compatible kernel with Unicorn Porn m6 and it just bootloops. ROMs based on the 2.89 update need 1.58, ROMs built off of older based CANNOT use 1.58 HBOOT. There's a thread somewhere on here all about the new hboot.
[HTC EVO 3D] ramjet73:
There's one exception to that since ICS ROM's using the VM leak kernel seem to be agnostic and will boot with pretty much any bootloader, which is why mikeyxda kept that kernel as the default for his 2.89 based ROM. The GB and CM9 based ROM's definitely don't want to boot with the 1.58 bootloader.

Can some one please help? I'm stuck on boot loop and don't what to do. Running Scott ROM GB rom on Hboot 1.4 S-OFF. I downloaded the firmware from the OP and installed the update from the bootloader. The firmware seemed to have updated normally and then ask to reboot. I press ok and now the device is in a reboot loop! :( I can boot into the bootloader and I have tried to reinstall the firmware, but I still get stuck in the boot loop. The Hboot now shows:

Sounds like you had the issue I did. When I Flashed the file and did it's thing, once done, I couldn't get passed the htc screen. I would battery pull and go into boot loader and it would try and install the file again. I pulled my sd card, put it into my laptop, renamed the file, and rebooted just fine into the boot loader. Went into recovery, flashed superwipe like the op says then flashed the rom. All is good now! Good luck.
[HTC EVO 3D] The Mac:
argg,,,,

no matter what i do, i cant get past the white htc screen

firmware update went fine, now at 1.58

im s-off unlocked

but the damn rom wont boot

it creatres a new pgm file in the root, no big deal i can delete that, but it just stays on the htc screen, wont even boot loop, it doesnt get that far.

EDIT: wow, i flashed back to hboot 1.4, and i cant even restore my nandroid from gb rom

EDIT2: figured it out. It was ext4 recovery. It was not flashing the kernal. i went to TWR, and it worked fine. I think smartflash was inferferring, and trying to flash the kernal on reboot, rather than immediately. stupid recovery, i was ****ting my pants thinking i bricked it. My boss would string me up by my testicles if he couldnt get a hold of me.
[HTC EVO 3D] mpgrimm2:
4ext Recovery usually throws up a warning about doing a full wipe (or at least cache/dalvik) after changing bootloaders. But if S-ON was still enabled in settings it certainly could of been that.
[HTC EVO 3D] chogardjr:
So is it worth taking my disconnected Evo3d and updating it? With all this required hboot and kernel crap I'm kind of hesitant. I guess I could look for the 2.08 firmware and 1.14 hboot so I could go back.

I guess the real question is would I need to go back to gb for anything?

[HTC EVO 3D] troyboytn:
My advice is to try another 2.78 rom.... the others including Trib's, Cool's, and Meanrom do not require the updated hboot as they use the VM leak bootimage/kernel. The new base is considerably smoother than the VM leak so definitely worth it but the new boot/kernel has made for a lot of issues.
[HTC EVO 3D] KB112:
I don't understand why you would need the old Hboot though? I have the new 1.58 and restored my old nands like MikVirgin and ZR3D 3.6 ROM. They ran fine with no problem.
[HTC EVO 3D] troyboytn:
I, for one, experienced random reboots on every 2.89 based rom using the 1.58 hboot....I downgraded and haven't experienced the first issue, also, believe it or not, there are still folks who prefer gingerbread over ICS(not me!) and GB will not boot on the new hboot. All in all there is no benefit to using the new hboot over the previous revisions.
[HTC EVO 3D] ramjet73:
ROM's based on the VM ICS leak run fine with the 1.58 hboot. It's the ROM's based on GB builds and AOSP ROM's that have problems with the 1.58 bootloader.

hey guys hoping you can help me out i flashed what was in the op and every thing went well. the only problem now is it does not let me use hotspot or tether my phone to my pc i get error 67. hope you guys can help. thanks
[HTC EVO 3D] .:[K]!nG_D:.:
yes i read that it says if your dev unlocked. I have "real" root pre HTC dev unlock I got my 3D pre release week, so i have 1.04 ENG (engineers) hboot so that if i ever brick it or have problems it will be easier to undo i dont want to lose ENG hboot. i dont 1.5x hboot like most others have

Its a good thing i actually know cause ill just get help from him. I havent been on xda since they banned my good bud Chad Goodman. I heard there was a new ota and decided to come here first and ask people to see what the result would be because having full root is quite important to me but. I remember when i was pretty into xda until about 2 months prior to the ban of Chad it looks like along with the xda mods some of the community has just gone down hill as well. everyone should help each other out i mean come on if you know the answer to what someone asked just you would do one of two things...1) give them the answer or 2) link them to the answer, not just say its been answered before go find it because by doing this you just wasted your time, my time and others who have a similar question this is a community we are so pose to help each other out thats what most others and I did. i dont understand where the comradery went. So it looks like i should have went with my gut and asked V or Freeza (another good bud) from the get go.

go ahead and talk **** about me "bragging" about knowing these guys, because i dont care im not bragging at all
[HTC EVO 3D] mpgrimm2:
Yes, you will keep root if you are S-Off. It's confusing to me to say "dev unlocked" in the op vs S-Off b/c "dev unlocked" sound like HTC Unlocked and is different.

This thread will explain the specifics (you can switch Hboots easily with S-Off).

[HTC EVO 3D] Evil Bob:
I love the ICS release, it's awesome on so many levels, but I ran into a problem where whenever I tried to wire tether it would crash the data service on the 3D with an error 67. I did some looking around and apparently that happens with all ICS builds across all phones if you aren't subscribed to your carriers specific tether service plan. I stopped my $30/month extra bull**** with Sprint when they decided they were going to cap the hotspot at 5GB/month and at the time the Sprint support tech I spoke with said that I could continue to use the wire tether without paying the extra $30/month. But sadly, I have learned that from ICS and forward, the wired tether now checks to see if the carrier allows it with their optional service offering. I even tried the Clockwork tether app as a work around but that didn't work for me either. So sadly I downgraded hboot back to 1.4 and nanded back to a GB ROM so I could once again wire tether. I may have to just cough up the additional $30/month once we get JellyBean running.
[HTC EVO 3D] ramjet73:
ClockworkMod tether works for me on Windows 7 with MeanROM ICS 2.6 (make sure you have USB debugging checked in Developer options when you start it on the PC), as does WiFi Tether which is available from the Play Store. You must also have the right Windows drivers installed for ClockworkMod tether (unless you're not using Windows:)), and the generic ICS profile selected and routing fix checked if you are using WiFi tether.

I think Sprint may have ClockworkMod tether blocked in the Play Store, but the description there has a direct link to the .apk.

ramjet73
[HTC EVO 3D] Evil Bob:
I dual boot between Linux and Windows pretty regularly for work, 95% of the time when I'm at a client's site I'm tethered off of my phone for network access since my clients are typically extremely locked down for what their employees can and cannot do on the network, usually no guest access available either.

Can't do the wifi tether either, lots of places I go to have an outright ban on wifi signals which rules out the MiFi I also carry.

I used the direct download link in the help section on Clockwork Tether, it's pretty awesome that he included that. I could get the PC app to connect to the phone, had usb debugging on, but it wouldn't route, I put a whole 5 mins into it trying to get it to work, rebooted phone, rebooted, PC, was short on time, so I dumped the phone into mass storage mode, dropped 1.04 hboot on the SDCARD, flash it, nandroided back to the CleanROM GB rom I had backed up, and wire tethered.

I just tried my son's 3D which is stock ICS non rooted (he's afraid I'll break it if I root it for him), when I used wired tether on it I get the "you don't have the hotspot / usb tethering subscription" popup followed shortly by the data error 67 popup.

Like I said, I'll probably just end up throwing $30/month at Sprint so I can upgrade the phone OS and tether.

When i tried the pg86img file it loaded, said something about "parsed" and then that was it. It never said to press up to update like when I rooted the phone. I've tried it a bunch of times and i'm still at 1.5 hboot s-on. I went ahead and did set 2 and 3 and now the phone is just stuck at the white HTC screen.

Why is the first pg86 file not asking me to update? I think that is the problem. I'm using team win recovery.

Re-lock your phone. Go to bootloader-usb, open command and type "fastboot oem lock".

When your phone is re-locked, go back to the bootloader "fastboot-usb" and use the new Sprint RUU 2.89.

You should be good then!

He means all of the phone's internal partitions (in the NAND memory), not the sdcard partitions. System, Data, and Cache I believe.
