Sorry, I couldn't find a forum for the Evo Design 4g. Anyways, I have the HTC evo design from boost mobile running on stock ICS 4.0.3. My phone isn't rooted. Today I was downloading the newest update to google chrome from the play store, and while it was installing my phone suddenly restarted and now it is stuck on bootload. I tried making a factory reset, but it doesn't even get through that because it stays frozen on the screen with 3 androids. Well I'm a COMPLETE noob when it comes to installing ROM's and all these things and I have no idea what to do. I am being charged a good amount of money to fix this problem or get a replacement. I tried looking into the problem and I heard something about an img? I don't even know what that is.. Please help. I don't want to waste anymore money on this phone

As a generally disclaimer, "random" issues can be the most difficult to solve as thre isnt an known reliable method to trigger the issue which makes troubleshooting much more difficult.
Nothing very technical was posted as not sure your technical ability to investigate issues with the device.
If you revert back to stock kernel and recovery and remove all 3rd party apps, there should be no random rebooting. If there is, it would point to a possible hardware issue.
There are many things which in theory can cause a random reboot. They range from poorly developed 3rd party apps to custom kernels/ROMs. The process can be very difficult to narrow down.
If you're technically inclined, after the reboot, you can grab the file /proc/last_kmsg and the last portion of the file should provide some kind of helpful insight. Should point to either the issue being kernel related or not kernel related which will at least eliminate one of the possible cuases.
Another approach is to revert back to stock and start installing 3rd party apps in sets. Once the reboot occurs, you've narrowed it down to a set of specific 3rd party apps.
Hope that helps!

did you try 2.17 on them?
My guess is if both are doing it gotta be a app you have running on both phones . Since if you rooted correctly and are flashing the proper way.

Do they reboot after some 4g usage? Mine seems to reboot if I use 4g for about an hour and it keeps rebooting even though 4g is turned off...I have to wipe cache and dalvik to make it (temporarily) stop

When you bought your phones online . Did you ask if they been overclocked some people spank there phones cook them then throw it up for sale cheap.
So I was looking to leave my Sprint contract (long story) and decided to sell my Evo 4g LTE to help pay off the massive contract-breaking bill. I'd had my phone rooted and running CM10 nightlies for quite a while without any sort of trouble.
So right before I put the phone on the market, I took out the SD card, and wiped everything using TWRP recovery. This included Cache/Dalvik/System/Factory reset and the only thing I did different, which was to wipe Internal and External storage.
After that, I flashed the latest CM10 nightly at the time (which was cm-10-20121008 at the time) and called it a day as I didn't want to put any of my info on the phone before I sold it.
Flash forward a couple of days, I sell the phone and almost immediately get a call back saying it has no sound at all.
The guy I sold it to tells me he even tried unrooting and flashing the stock ROM to no avail. I bought the phone back from him, and am trying to figure out what exactly is wrong with it.
Since then, I've discovered that not only is there no sound, although occasionally I will hear the buttons click, so I know the speaker hardware itself is fine, There is also no video playback at all, which makes me think this is some sort of software or firmware problem, though I can't tell where the problem lies.
I've tried installing different ROM's and the best I could get out of video was the Youtube app showing still images every couple of seconds, without any sound at all. I tried loading videos to the SD cards only to get a message saying "This video cannot be played" without any further reason.
I'm currently downloading the latest OTA stock ROM to see if I can restore it to Factory settings, but I'm lost as to what could possibly cause this strange behaviour.
Anybody ever encounter something similar? Any ideas what I could try next?
Alternatively, does anyone want a (mostly) working phone at a steep discount?
Have you ran an RUU yet?
How much do you want for it as is?

If you want it, an even $100 will do.

Hey bro's just today I got my new HTC one x+ and I had ordered it online so it's an international unlocked phone. The phone is on android 4.1 and sense 4+ (stock and not rooted) so I checked for software updates but it said the phone is already up to date and no updates are available , though I guess HTC has rolled out 4.2.2 sense 5 for one x+ (right ?) . Also, I've noticed the phone stays connected to WiFi and yet the pages won't load, sometime WiFi just disconnects, though the internet is working just fine on my other phone . Further the apps from play store too take a butt load of time to start downloading and often get stuck midway while downloading. So guys would u suggest to get the phone checked up at HTC for manufacturing defects Or have some of you faced similar problems but have rooted and used custom Roms (if so which ?) to solve it. My phone isn't in for hardware warranty and I'm sorta noob at this stuff so please take this into consideration too. I'll be really grateful for your help
My advice will be basic but may be efficient:
Have you tried to factory reset your phone? If you bought a used or refurbished device, this may help.
I'm from Europe and have an unlocked version and can confirm that the update finished rolling out early September + I never experienced any of your problems.
You would also check if you have those download problems on both Wi-Fi and 3g. If so, this may be a hint of some sort.

Hey guys Im new to the forum, and new to android and I really need help. I bought an HTC one m7 today, used off kijiji, and it came with cynogenmod. While unrooting my phone and installing the stock firmware everything went smoothly until the end, I followed the guide, locked the oem, and installed from the rue file. I have a rogers htc one btw. After everything finished I went through the activation and to my disbelief my touch screen was barely working. It kept randomly clicking things in the middle, and I thought maybe after I restarted my phone it would be fixed. I restarted it, hard reset it, and even reinstalled from the ruu and it still isn't working. I figured if I was to reinstall cynogenmod than it would start working again, because before I uninstalled cynogenmod it worked perfectly. Can someone please help me because right now I want to cry like my phone is so hard to use right now, I can't even swipe down the notification bar. I've tried googling everywhere and I've found nothing. I've been trying to fix this for the last 4 hours
and guys it was perfect before I tried to unroot it, it was after that that all this started. Its a rogers HTC one, and the screens just going crazy like random apps keep opening and when i press back they open again. Does anyone know what I should do, I literally just bought this phone
