Maybe it was a bad ROM zip I flashed, maybe I poked around the build.prop with Root Explorer too much, either way, I managed to bork my EVO LTE.
As it stands, I cannot boot into any new ROMs. I've tried TWRP as well as ClockWork Recovery. Every time I flash a ROM, it either hangs up on the white HTC screen with the red disclaimer forever, or it hangs, then reboots back into recovery.
The only functional ROM I have is a nandroid backup I made in TWRP, and I can only boot into it when I restore it from backup. If I try to flash the exact same ROM, same hang ups. Once I'm in that ROM I can factory restore, wipe everything except system, and boot into it fine. It's only when I try to flash anything new that my EVO stops booting.
I've tried flashing stock recovery, relocking the bootloader, and running the RUU, but it stops on "Updating Signature" and gives me "Error 132 Signature Error" and does not complete the RUU.
I've tried relocking bootloader and re-running the rooting tool.
I've unlocked, relocked, unrooted, rerooted, tried different recoveries. I have no idea why I can't just wipe everything, flash a ROM, and boot into it.
Any help would be immensely apprecited!!!

Have you tried running the ruu while in bootloader mode?

Can you do that? I thought you had to be in fastboot to run the RUU.exe. Even if you're inside a ROM and you run the RUU, doesn't it reboot your phone to fastboot to complete the RUU process?
Anyway, every time I try to run the RUU it gives me the Error 132 Signature Error.
I had an OG EVO, and when **** hit the fan you could put a PC36IMG.zip on the root of the SD and that WOULD run through bootloader. Is there something similar for the EVO LTE? If I could RUU from bootloader or even recovery or ADB that would be awesome.
We can't PG75IMG due to S-on, as I understand it. Have you tried to Google what that error means?

I have a Evo 3d, hboot 1.50 latest radios, prl, pri. I had OMJ's latest Rom, and used Flash Image Gui to flash a custom Kernel package; I flashed Tiamuts "Tiamat_E3D-v1.1.0-Sense" http://downloads.tiamat-dev.com/8x60/110/Tiamat_E3D-v1.1.0-Sense.zip, and rebooted, then my phone was locked up on just the HTC screen.
I can still access the Bootloader, and Fastboot, and Recovery. I tried rolling back to my nandroid backup, and also reflashing the stock kernel through recovery (as the Rom won't ully load), and now all I get is a black screen after the HTC logo, and the phone is responsive to power and capacitive buttons, but no display at all.
Tried full wipe, and reflash of OMJ, even CleanRom.... Just black screen after HTC logo.... Any Ideas ? With Bootloader, Fastboot, and Recovery, you'd think I could unbrick, but no luck.
I'm sorry... I'm not a complete noob, I've been on the scene since early TP2s, and always rooted and custom rom’ed my Evo 4g.... Please help guys. Thanks in advance.

Since you're on the HTC unlock method, in order for the custom recovery to properly work, i.e. flash all partitions including the kernel/boot partition, you have to access the custom recovery differently than the traditional method.
The proper command and method to access the custom recovery in order for the HTC unlock method to grant it write access to the kernel/boot partition is through fastboot. The full command is: fastboot boot c:\cwm-recovery.img . Once you've temporarily fastboot booted the custom recovery, you can then properly flash a ROM or restore a nandroid as both will be allowed write access to the kernel/boot partition.
Appreciate your support in using my application! Hope that helps!
Deleted my own question. I think I found a thread where it will be more appropriate.
Like joeykrim stated, you must access the recovery from fastboot to be able to flash kernels, nandroids and what not from recovery if you used HTC's method to unlock you phone. You are not bricked. It is fully fixable.
I have Clockwork Recovery flashed, always have (the only version compatible with Hboot 1.50, v4.0.1.4). I still have full access to the Bootloader, Customer Recovery, and Fastboot. But despite reflashing a fresh Rom (2 in fact), full wipes, reflashing boot.img with stock kernel; all the phone will do is boot past the HTC screen, vibrate, and the screen goes black. Capacitive buttons are responsive, and so is the power button, just no display. ...... Idk what else to Flash to get this phone booting again, any ideas ?
I had same problem I have 1 file name PG86IMG.zip I don't remember from where I downloaded 1st Iplaced this on SD root folder and turn on phone with volume down and power button and it care of everything

You arent bricked if you can still get into fastboot, recovery, etc. I would recommend using this app called Flash Image GUI on the market, it's only $0.99 and I am (as we speak) flashing ziggy's dual core kernel. Oh wait my phone rebooted now. Its fast as all get out and my WiFi works (yay). But like I said this method is the EASIEST way to flash kernels!

I think the file you're referring to is the RUU (ROM Update Utility) file which can be placed in the root of the sdcard as PG86IMG.zip and flashed to competely reload all stock software (radios, system, kernel, etc) on the device.
These files are available at http://goo-inside.me/shooter/ruu.

Seems as if there is some issue with the display. If you confirm you have adb access to the device, I would think the issue lies in the android /system. If you don't have adb access, I would think the issue lies in the kernel/ramdisk.
Either way, if you want to eliminate both issues, reflash my Stock ROM - [ROM] joeykrim-original-1.2.0 Odex *Stock Rooted 2.08.651.2*, which will reload the stock kernel and the stock system with only adding in root access. I run this ROM as my daily ROM and it works great for keeping the phone stock but allowing root access.
Make sure to access the custom recovery through, fastboot boot c:\android\cwm-recovery.img . If you load the custom recovery through adb reboot recovery, or bootloader and selecting recovery from the menu, the HTC unlock method will not grant recovery write access to the kernel/boot partition.
Worse case, my stock ROM with stock Kernel doesn't resolve the display issue, you should flash the stock RUU files at http://goo-inside.me/shooter/ruu . If that doesn't resolve the issue, you'll prob need to exchange/return the device as it would seem to be a hardware issue.
Hope that helps! Good luck!
Okay so today I decided to try to install an ICS rom to my phone and I flashed the PH98IMG in fastboot and then after that was done my phone would only boot to a black screen. So I deleted to PH98IMG from my sd card and now my phone will only let me into the hboot and I can't do anything else!! I've re-locked my bootloader but not sure where to go from here. Any help getting my phone back to any working state whether it is rooted or not would be great!
If you still have the from on unlock the phone boot into boot and flash the kernel manually(fastboot flash boot boot.img). You may not have seen the mainver error flash by when you flashed the rom

Can you reflash your nand to get back to ground zero?
I've been having to use the PC to flash boot.img since all the mainver errors
My backup is hosed which I'm okay with. I just want my phone to work again Well I installed a custom rom in recovery and it said that installed okay but now it still only boots to a black screen. So now I'm just wondering if I'm having an issue with the ph98img.

I believe you are.
Are you familiar with using cmd.exe and adb?
If you can get into recovery, mount you external card and pull the ph98ing file to the PC.
inside that zip file is a file called boot.img.
use the command "fastboot flash boot boot.img" and it will load the kernal.
I'm skipping a lot assuming you know what I'm talking about.
Read this post and it will help out tremendously. It did for me.

Well guys I think that may have worked my phone is booting up normally now. But now I have a question if I want to factory reset my phone should I have any problems doing that or will I have to go through a bunch of stuff to do that?
What ROM are you running currently?

Should not have any problem factory resetting just make sure that you deleted the PH98IMG file from the root of your sd card.
Right now I'm running BAMF Rezound Cubed 1.0.2 Stockish and Themed but I want to go back to the stock gb rom and just leave it rooted
I don't know what mainver that BAMF ROM is on but if it is different than the OTA stock you can use this tool con247 just made to help in situations where mainvers differ.
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1497984
If the BAMF ROM is 2.x mainver you can run the RUU for that version and get yourself back to stock, then flash Amon Ra recovery and install su and you'll be stock GB and rooted.
Ok, I started out with a htcdev unlock, Root, CDMA, 4ext recovery. I ran Juopunutbear, and got the "wire trick" right the first time. I was able to boot into stock ROM, everything worked fine. I tried to flash CM9 Devil Toast, Bootloop. I tried MeanROM ICS, bootloop. I tried MeanROM 4.5 gb, bootloop. I tried to flash my pre-s-off recovery, Bootloop.
Needless to say, feeling a bit clueless. Any Ideas?
What I mean by bootloop, HTC screen, restart, HTC screen, Restart.
I know I am not supost to post my own thread, I searched, I really did.

I can not get any ROM to flash right now, how does one flash a new firmware?
Also, after a few factory resets, and attempts to flash other rooted StockROMs, I now get the HTC screen, then powers off.
Install 4ext recovery. Wipe EVERYTHING except sdcard 2 times. Flash a "Wipe-All zip" (optional), flash rom then you should be able to boot up.

There should be a link to the firmware in the OP of the rom.
You flash it in the bootloader, volume up button.

Did you flash the latest radios using Freeza's all in one? Download the zip from the following post, place on root of sd card, reboot into bootloader and have it update, then remove the zip and reboot into recovery. Flash ROM.

I ended up going back to revolutionary via the fastboot USB and DOS command root method.
I was missing the PRL and firmware. But am now up and flashing like it was halftime at a professional sporting event!
I have had TACHYON-1.1.5 install for awhile. I rebooted my phone and I cant get into the ROM anymore. The screen is just black. I can get into recovery and reflash, but nothing happens... I cant seem to mount SD card in recovery either. Using CWM recovery.
If its easier can I just bring my phone back to bone stock? I am S-ON rooted, unlocked.

are you s-on did you fastboot flash the boot.img
Edit: And your mount issues are caused by the fact that you never reapartitioned and formatted internal sd and emmc using TWRP only

Reventech, I have a similar problem which suddenly arose on Vanir yesterday evening. I am bootloader unlocked, using vinylfreak's 2.27 hboot, and I am S-OFF. I can reflash TWRP 2.6.3.0, I can even run and get a nandroid to restore and boot, and the system works completely normally. I can make calls, connect, BT, etc. etc., but when I reboot, the phone runs the splash, then the boot animation, then sits at the black screen. I have run this now twice, completely restoring my ROM and still get hung after boot.
Utterly bizarre.
Any suggestions? Switch to Amon Ra 3.16 and try to re-wipe boot image (I know TWRP can't wipe boot) then reflash TWRP and restore prior nandroid of boot? I'm positively flummoxed.

That worked for a bit, but darn if I didn't do a Nandroid and then the unit failed to boot again. This is so frustrating.
UPDATE: Flashed new nightly and we're back in business.
My name's Harold and I'm a flashaholic....
I have a Wind AWS Amaze 4G. I unlocked the bootloader and rooted it. I then tried out various custom roms and the few that actually loaded didn't support wi-fi. Now trying to go back to the stock rom, every time I try to flash it in TWRP 2.6.3.0, I get install failed: File_getprop: failed to stat, error executing updater binary in zip, error flashing zip. This is getting very frustrating. It's like TWRP is only letting me flash unstable roms.

You can try newer version of TWRP or another recovery, perhaps 4EXT?
Might also be necessary to do factory reset and format all partitions except sdcard--both internal and external if given the choice.
Going back to stock will put you back to s-on, I believe. There are stock-based rom's that will not put you back to s-on. Maybe you never got s-off. In which case, 4EXT will most likely let you successfully flash those other rom's by enabling TOOLS->ENABLE SMART FLASH.
Good luck finding what you want.
I tried with CWM, and the same happened. I was able to flash the Mobilicity (Dave) rom, and then got stuck at the HTC splash screen. When I rebooted, wiped, and tried to flash the same rom, it aborted and threw the same error codes!
I've completely wiped all partitions on the phone. I never had S-OFF. I thought that it wasn't necessary since I was able to unlock the bootloader.
I will try with 4EXT and report back. Thanks.
