Root Does This ROM Work For The HTC Evo V 4G (3D)

seems like i already messed up my device. i flashed gangnam style before i posted all this & stupid me didnt make a backup. i guess i was excited because of jellybean & now when i try an factory reset everything i still get boot looping. what if i did s off like now then flashed gangnam style would it work?

dont factory reset... wipe all but sdcard and flash harmonia... then use harmonia to get s-off... for s-off, you need either harmonia or stock rom

Yeah harmonia will work just fine...that what I used

I don't recall having trouble the first time I did s-off but the second time around I did. I was on jmz stock rooted rom and it did not work. Support said I had to be on stock ruu with root..this is also stated in the instructions. I tried again with the stock ruu and it worked flawless. Although it worked for you in harmonia I wouldn't advise people against what the developer has specifically instructed.

It'll work just fine with Harmonia or Midnight, which are both stock based. While the developers recommend the stock RUU, it's to take variables out of the equation and make troubleshooting easier for them because there's just no way that they can have knowledge of every available rom, that's where we the forum users come in, through trial and error we know what works and what doesn't. But to each their own.

what hboot do I need to be in? and what do you guys mean by stock ruu? is it being in the stock image after doing ruu process? I need help!! my phone shows cyanogenmod boot image for three seconds and then it reboots and does it all over again!:thinking:

I recommend eng hboot 1.04 but I believe anything lower then 1.5 will do. The ruu will basically return your phone to a pure stock rom that can be unlocked and rooted then s-offed. After s-off you can downgrade your hboot.

Your in a boot loop, you can't boot cyanogen mod without downgrading your hboot first. Restore your backup and flash harmonia then do s-off.
