Bootloop, Wifi or 4G WiMax errors on Evo 3D?
I assume you are rooted using HTC Unlock Method on HBOOT 1.50 or 1.49 (most likely the case), if so,
you will need to use one the the 3 following methods to install a new
ROM:
HTC DumLock Method
(recommended method/easiest)
Fastboot Method (requires connection to computer)
Otherwise you will most likely end up in a boot loop in every ROM install.
