Root [CDMA] Root Fail! Help needed!! (Boot Loop)

[nigelking94]

]I'm really new to the root world. I tried to root my evo 3d and everything was going perfect until the phone was rebooting. I used meanrom ics and twrp as my recovery. It loaded up to the lockscreen for only 2 seconds and then rebooted. My phone is HBoot 1.5 and S-ON. One thing I noticed was that when I tried to backup data, systems and other stuff, twrp said it couldn't becuase memory was full. Either way around, I just want access to my phone. As of right now, there is no way for me to use my phone in any way. I can access bootloader, but nothing else. I don't see a way for me to install a different ROM since I can't go past bootloader. Please help!!!

Note: I have already tried clockworkmod recovery. Same thing happens.

I have found a way

1. Get Mtty here:

2. Right Click Activesync icon in tray, and select connection setting, then un-mark Allow USB connections at Activesync Connection settings.

3. Extract the zip file and Run mtty.exe and select USB from the Port dropdows list and then click OK button.

4. press Enter two times for showin USB>
5. Type:
set 14 0
[ENTER]
task 8
[ENTER]
(for soft-reset).

6. Ur device should reset and u might close mtty utility.
7. Done.

ur device should be just fine... if not try to re-flash the OS again while in Bootloader (press and hold POWER+RECORD button then press RESET)

re-enable/re-mark Activesync after this proccess might necesarry, to allow USB Connection again for enablin Activesync ur pda with ur PC.

The steps aren't mine .

When I go to recovery, it takes me to twrp. Is that what's supposed to happen?

Update: I have good news and bad; my phone is now rooted, but I still can't flash ics ROM. Any alternatives? I need some links.

Try to use 4Ext to flash ICS ROM if you are S-On - Unlocked. Make sure to turn the Smartflash on.

Or, the best way to flash ICS ROM for Hboot 1.50 like me is to go S-Off.

ok, where is smartflash? Is that in 4ext or is it somewhere on my phone? I'm not sure how to do s-off. Which method is easier in you're opinion?

Smartflash is in 4Ext, go to Settings - Recovery tab. It's somewhere in the middle. It may work or not work for you. For some people i heard that it works, for me it won't work, my phone always rebooting.

The only way for me to flash ICS ROM is to get S-Off first. I used Juopunotbear method. It's easy to do, took me 10 minutes to did it.

Where would I find some wire around the house? Or do I need to buy it?

So I think you want to get S-Off..

See here if you want to use Juopunotbear. I think any wire will do, it says even you can do it with wrapped paper clip. But I cut a piece of wire from my home telephone, and it worked..!!

so guys, what rom were u guys on when u used the juopunutbear method? as i understand u need to be on a stock gb rom or as recommended in xda the leedroid gb rom, idk why i get stucked in bootloop when i flash leedroid rom. so just wondering if any of u guys tried it with ics roms instead?

I restored my Nandroid stock rom. They say it may or may not work with any other rom, but I wouldn't risk it though.
