[HTC EVO 3D] fonix36:
alright guys new issue

everything went well untill i got to the control bear part.

it opens fine runs then says back up secondary failed and quits

i have unlock, i have root, i have supperuser, i am able to boot into recovery (which btw is supper bad ass, very big respect to the developers)

here is a picture. of what happens, also i have the wire ready to go
[HTC EVO 3D] Skarddd:
Somebody help me please! I've done all the steps required to root the phone, s-off, unlocked, recovery, flashed a rom, but now when I go to reboot out of recovery, the phone shuts off, comes back on, then goes into the boot screen and just reboots itself. I've flashed 3 different roms and nothing changes. I'm stuck and I can't figure out what to do. Please and thank you to anyone that helps

Ganja.... Just a sec

1st: What part of the process are u on? Are u already s-off? or just HTC Unlocked? What does it show in the bootloader?

2nd: the stock unlocked hboot won't allow many fastboot commands.

- flash the Jbear 1.58.5858 hboot if s-Off (see my signature).

3rd: Make sure the recovery.img file is in the exact same directory as the fastboot.exe program for it to flash.

4th: if u have issues with getting the unlock Token to actually take (Unlocked), run the full 2.89 Ruu all the way thru and start over.

My guess is that you are not really unlocked (Screenshot?) or you are not using a compatible recovery file/filename.

Have a look at the HTC Unlock Guide in my signature to see if anything stands out that you are overlooking.

Even if you get a recovery going, I'm not sure what your ultimate goal is here. You should continue this in one thread, specifically your Remote Not Allowed thread.
[HTC EVO 3D] Ruben92:
Hi everyone, I'm sorry for the post, but I wanted to know if (and in that case, which) there are some risks making these steps to unlock/root. I have bought my EVO 5 months ago and I don't have money to get another smartphone. Thanks a lot!
[HTC EVO 3D] mpgrimm2:
There are always risks,, but if you take your time read through it all, you should be fine. Most issues arise from user error. Check ur PM inbox for more.

NVM I figured it out, the phone has to be on/booted before step 2, not in fastbot mode :)

Which ROM are you trying to boot? Unless it's stock Sprint ICS or Cool ICS you probably want to use a different bootloader. See this post for instructions on how to change hboot when S-OFF.

Did you change your hboot

[HTC EVO 3D] MIOB91:
I actually already downgraded to HBOOT 1.04 ENG.

The phone passes through the HTC screen then after a few seconds of being on the CM10 animation the phone restarts and it happens again.
[HTC EVO 3D] ramjet73:
OK. You're info above said 1.58.5858 but that's good that you've downgraded already.

My suggestion would be to do the "format all partitions except SD card" in 4EXT right before flashing it again. If that doesn't work you should consider flashing the 2.89.651.2 RUU. This guide does require that but I've found that doing a total reset of the phone can resolve a lot of weird issues.

ramjet73
[HTC EVO 3D] MIOB91:
Thanks! That was the problem. Sorry for all the drama.

Right after the wire trick I flashed the ROM and then downgraded the HBOOT. It seems that messed up everything.

Now its working.

Thanks :)

all I want to do is throw in a custom kernel to overclock. can anybody tell me how far I need to go? do I need full s-off? thanks!
[HTC EVO 3D] mpgrimm2:
On the latest ICS, S-Off is highly recommended. My gut impression is that about 25% of users can load custom kernels fine fastbooting into Recovery with HTC Unlock.
[HTC EVO 3D] mykeyvee:
Thanks for the reply, I think I'll probably just do the whole nine yards. I used to have an evo lte that I had to flash kernels through fastboot, it's a little bit of a pain. so i'd rather not have to do that. I'd like to just flash through recovery like I used to. :)

OK, Im trying to finish up unlocking, but I'm stuck. While I'm in boot mode, my PC can't see the phone connected to it. But, if I then boot up, the PC can see the phone, but when doing the command prompt, it then says <waiting for device>. Any ideas?

Edit: This is near the end of the "Unlock via HTC Dev Unlock Bootloader." section, when I'm following the HTC Dev instructions (Step 12 or so).
[HTC EVO 3D] mpgrimm2:
Your edit was the key...

This is a common issue with OTA updates & Htc unlocking. Why its not in the op yet, idk. You need to run the full ruu so that u don't get stuck at step 12/13. You can get an all in one package in Ramjet73's Quick & Dirty S-off thread that will fix u up and walk you through everything.

I would really appreciate the help.
[HTC EVO 3D] ramjet73:
This happens sometimes, especially when an OTA update has been applied to a ROM with a lower build level. The solution is generally to flash an RUU, then the unlock will go through.

Since you need to flash the RUU, you might want to follow my guide here.

Thanks everyone!!

Just wanted to thank everyone for all your contributions. I followed all the steps except for the wire trick and everything worked flawlessly.

I didn't do the wire trick because I just wanted a rooted stock ROM. Mostly because before I found this thread I totally hosed my 3d. I immediately tried to activate my old Hero while I fixed my 3d. Since my Hero had a custom ROM, Sprint refused to activate it. Going to pick up an S3 in a few months so I wanted to keep the 3d "activate-able" in case I hose the S3.

If you're interested, I hosed my 3d (originally HBOOT 1.50, S-ON, Unlocked, rooted stock GB ROM) when trying to install a custom ICS ROM. It failed to boot. I ended up re-locking, installing the GB stock ROM, taking the OTA ICS update and the steps in this guide. Now I'm HBOOT 1.58, S-ON, unlocked and rooted. I had similar issues when trying to install any custom ROM in the past.

I gather S-ON is OK for rooting a stock ROM but custom ROM's benefit from S-OFF. Either that, or I didn't apply the custom ROM's correctly.
[HTC EVO 3D] mpgrimm2:
You likely had problems with S-On because of your flashing method and couldn't get the kernel flashed correctly with the rom causing a bootloop. You should take a look at the HTC Unlock/Hboot 1.5x Guide in my signature and you will see step by step what to do. It's also worth reading the Hboot/S-On/S-Off differences thread.

[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] Ryno77:
So, I love this phone but have one issue that seems odd to me. As an example I am currently running pandora and tried opening the xda app which caused what appeared to be a fc but my phone kept running pandora and went to a black screen for a minute then a faded screen which eventually lead to a drop in data (briefly). Every thing was briefly unresponsive... It acted exactly like a reboot without rebooting. When I was able to unlock the screen I had no data service (briefly) and all apps closed. Xda app often fc's which is not a big deal to me but causing the black screen and data drop is concerning to me. I also had this happen when opening the phone info app while running nothing else. Should I be concerned about this? Software or hardware? I am running stock.

Edit: Have also had to reboot due to dropped data but it may have been during a switch between 4G or 3g even 1x.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] gingi999:
same thing happens to me, not sure why. I went through and froze all bloat with titanium backup, and it still happens
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] Ryno77:
It's not something I can make happen, just happens randomly. I have 5 days to return this so I would like to figure it out. If a software update would fix it I would just deal with it for now but I'm not sure what the problem is.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] Ryno77:
I just talked to Samsung on their live chat and they recommended I return the phone and exchange for new. I am still in the 14 day return window so I will ask for brand new even if I have to pay their $35 fee.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] TheDiabolicaL1:
The policy is there is no $35 reatocking fee for the same phone swap. Don't let them tell you different. Your phone is DOA. Its a warranty exchange.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] Ryno77:
Thanks. I already exchanged and they did not charge me anything. Hopefully I won't encounter that problem again.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] Ryno77:
Replacement phone just did the exact same thing..... Seriously only one other person has this problem?
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] TheDiabolicaL1:
No.. tons of us have data issues. My phone hot booted in my hands the other night and it was the first time I experienced it, but I've seen reference to it before.

Your issues are not isolated.

I gave up with tech support and wishing a new phone would fix it and turned to third party development. My first time flashing a ROM. I used synergy and have been really thrilled with it.

Sucks to have to fix a brand new phone. Sucks to be a beta tester for Samsung and vzw.

Sorry for your troubles though.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] Ryno77:
Not the dropped data, the unresponsive black screen... Sorry, should have been more specific.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] TheDiabolicaL1:
Ahh.. no. Sorry. Have you tried wiping/restoring the phone? Lame, I know...
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] Ryno77:
I did not try wiping the phone because the first one was only nine days old and I had not done much with it. The second one lasted a day and now I am on my third. I really hope this does not happen again. The people at the Verizon store said they have never heard of this..... They think it's an app... I only have 12 apps installed. I don't know what I'm going to do if this happens with this phone. This is frustrating. I do not want to get stuck with a phone that has a problem like this.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] Aquila76:
Mine does the same thing. Besides the stock stuff, I loaded Pandora, Google Music, Amazon MP3, and Disney's Pirates of the Caribbean: Master of the Seas game. It was nice enough to wait until just after the 14 day return window to start locking up and misbehaving. The only way I could get it back was to do a battery pull. Of course, when I brought it to the store it ran like a champ! If you can get another replacement, make sure it says 'UPDATED' on the box. Those have a newer kernel / baseband and seem to be working better.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] Ryno77:
All of mine have said updated on the box. I am trying to limit apps for now and will slowly add them if I have no issues.
