If you installed the thermostat incorrectly (backwards would be the only way this could be done), the engine would overheat in 3 minutes not 30 (well maybe 5 minutes or so, give or take).

Your problem could be quite a number of different things, from debris on the front of the radiator (easy to fix) to a blown head gasket (not easy). Have it checked by a cooling system specialist, or provide more detailed information.

 

Your radiator could be stopped up.
