Hello every one,
I dont mean to clutter up the forum with the same question but, believe me or not i did read through tones of post.. i just got more confused maybe because i am a "total noob." In any event, let me explain my issue. i am still trying to get my head around "ROM" "Kernal" "img" etc so please bare with me.
So, i had my evo rooted the very first time about 6 months ago with CWM Revolutionary and the installed ROM was SU-3.0 or something. Than Because of a physical problem i had to replace the phone and i tried rooting again, this time around i ended up installing su-2.1 or something but it had all kind of problems it kept restarting and wat not so i decided to change it to ICS from htcevohacks. this is when it rebooted and got stuck. i tried bunch of things but since i dont know wat am i doing its not helping.. my phone has Hboot 1.50 Unlock with revolutionary on it.. thats all i know about "For sure." Everything else i am confused and Uncertain about..
So far i have tried installing the same su files but they keep abording.
From Wiki. i have tried the recovery thing.. downloading the zip files PG86IMG-twrp-shooter-1.1.1.zip PG86IMG-twrp-shooter-1.0.3.zip rename them Started in recovery and it would say failed because the orignal file is older or something like that..
i know i shouldnt have mess with this since i didnt know wat i was doing but now that i am in a mess i need help.. and if anyone can help me i wold appreciate it.. i really need.. so please.
thanks,
Dennis
Are you s-on or s-off? Also, have you tried to flash 4ext recovery.

Sorry forgot to mention .. its S- On iwill check out the link thanks appreciate the reply.
4ext recovery is definetely the choice for s-on users like yourself. The problem you are having is that if you just flashing roms straight from recovery and rebooting its not going to work. The reason for that is because other than 4ext recovery, most recoveries cannot flash the kernel to the boot partition while on S-on. That's where 4ext recovery comes in. It will let you flash kernels through smart flash thats incorporated in the recovery.
Heres the Thing.. i tried looking up the link posted above about 4ext but i am fairly confused about it... could you please tell me about what should or could i do at this point?? it appears as if, 4ext is something you download and install from "market" However my phone is not turning on at all. Meaning it doesnt go pass the White HTC screen.
How exactly do i install the 4ext.. or is there a "procedure list" or a "write" i can follow.. sorry for the trouble.. i am just Overwhelmed by all the information.
Bottom line here is that.. i have a "rooted phone" S-on "unlocked" with Revolutionary.
and when i try to load any ROM files its not working (get aborded") if not it would load successfully and then when it reboots its stuck on the whit screen.
if i am missing or leaving out information please let me know if not . wat can i do to start this from scratch..
ALSO, i read some posts about dealing with "bricked" phones but it looks like i woud need a Linx operation system which i dont have.
I'm a noob myself, but I've gotten into a similar situation myself where I was rooted and took an update over the air to the new ics Rom, and also tried flashing Roms from apps, and when my phone rebooted, it didn't go past the HTC screen, I was told I would have to load a new stock ruu. Which basicaly means you have to wipe the phone and install the stock rom from new.

hi i have the ICS leaked RUU i did it with s-on so i relocked unlocked and flashed recovery but i tried to flash a rom today and my phone was soft briked i went to the restore and it would complete the restore but then ... no boot it would remain on white htc screen does that have something to do with the recovery? im using
recovery-cwm-ruby-5.8.0.9-rc2 the touch one. im curious cause id like to avoid having to relock my bootloader flash stock recovery and flash PH85IMG file though hboot again its very inconvenient. i was trying to flash a couple roms and they all tend to give me issues last i was gonna try was the cap w.e rom cause im looking for an ics build thats senseless i really hate sense and think the aosp look is so much cooler. if any tips or advice that could help me prevent from bricking my phone again or thatll help me flash the actual rom i want please let me know thank you in advance.

Its worth every penny, also you can download the recovery.img file
thanks ill definitely try it im glad i was able to get ics but i dont wanna be stuck on stock -_- lol but the s-off process seems complicated and risky not a fan of the whole wire trick. with me w,e can go wrong will go wrong so avoid that maybe later on if theres an easier process but i rather keep s-on for now thanks tho ill definitely try this recovery n get back to you,
well worked flashed the caprom goes past htc screen but stays on black quietly brilliant screen. so now its not the recovery.

Not sure why its stuck on that screen, but if all fails just relock, reflash ruu in hboot, then unlock again then flash 4ext recovery and it should work, it worked flawlessly for me...
Just letting you know I moved your thread to Q&A. Also, there's a sticky covering this issue.

please please help me, i have twrp installed i heard 2.4 was not flashing properly so reverted back to 1.1.1...I go into bootloader then boot my recovery.img. then when im in TWRP i try to flash one of my roms and its not allowing it, I think its because of the s-on again?? it still says unlocked at the top of bootloader but s-on instead of s-off now. I have no operating system now and cant think of a way to fix this. please anyone with any ideas or solutions help me, ive exhausted my ideas. I use my phone all the time, so any help would be greatly appreciated, i'd pay you for help if I could.
Please let us know which device u have.

I dont know what Odin is. I have an HTC Evo 3d. Now my phone is not even turning on exactly like this guys: it wont let me post links yet but go to youtube and then search for: "Bricked HTC EVO 3D, not powering up, red light" and thats my current problem. am I just screwed?
sometimes i can get to bootloader but then s-on is still there so that seems like its preventing me from flashing roms.
What is Odin?
Thank you for the help.

Ok I got it to bootloader after removing the battery 50 times and putting it back in then doing the power/vol down. im in TWRP 2.4 because it lets me access my SD card. The problem i think is that when i did a full factory reset on my phone it turned s-on so my old roms are not working. so now im downloading the stock rom, going to put that in the roms folder and try to zip that sucker in, then do the s-off procedure again once I finally have an operating system again. I probably sound like a total noob but if anyone can offer advice or help along the line it would be appreciated. thank you
well I still cant install any ROMs. I cant do the s-off "wire trick" because apparently that requires an operating system. Will someone please help me out here. Why is it failing to install every ROM i have. I know i have the right stock ROMs. at the top of bootloader it says "Unlocked" and s-on, if that helps at all.. thanks for any help
sorry to keep posting but after reading the original root guide I used it turns out i never had S-off. So WHY cant I install any roms, every utility I use just says unable to install. I have tried multiple roms, and tried the one I had installed before, so I know for a fact that one is good. I have no operating system. the error message I keep getting has to do with md5 but I read thats not even a critical component. I tried extracting the boot.img from the rom, running that , then installing it. NO luck. Please someone with experience help. Or am I just screwed? Thanks for the help
bump, please help. why cant I flash a ROM, any rom, even ones I know work well because I have used them?
I fixed it, if anyone comes across this in the future. You have to have your bootloader RELOCKED to run a RUU. Maybe that is common knowledge but it sure evaded me. just fastboot oem lock then run the RUU and you are back to stock.
any one know how to fix QHSUSB_DLOAD caused after trying the s-off wire trick.
So, I have gone through the whole process of rooting my phone, unlocking it. I have TWRP on it, Titanium backup (thankfully), Goo Manager. It is S-on. I have 2.09 Hboot. My TWRP-jewel is 2.5.0.0. Ok, now onto my question, I am trying to get CM-10 to load but it doesn't go any further than the load screen. No matter what I try. I have even tried switching to JellyBAM but all to no avail. Can someone offer me tips as to what I may have done or be doing wrong? Thanks in advance
[Q] trying to put CM10 on my rooted phone
Forgive me if I put this in the wrong group, but I feel this is probably the right one for it. I have Hboot 2.09. I have TWRP. I have S-on. I want to put CM10 with Gapps onto my phone but every way I have tried, CM10 just sits there and loops around, the longest being an hour. I figured some time was possible, but come on. Over on Google+, people are telling me to flash this and flash that, fastboot this or that. I have no idea what they are trying to say to me. I am loving learning all of this but I need a little more explanation than just flash something. I realize that flash has something to do with commands. I am running windows 8 if that helps on my laptop. My TWRP version is 2.5.0.0. I don't know if my phone has gone through the latest update or not. Thanks for any help you can give me!
You have to install the kernel separately from the ROM since you're S-on. Click the link in my sig for more info.
You most likely have the newest touch panel driver, so you can only use ROM's based off the latest OTA, software version 3.16. Your touchscreen won't work otherwise. You can gain S-off and downgrade your touch panel driver, at which point you can run AOSP ROM's like CM.

First of all you might be on the newest touch panel driver, and that's the first thing that gets you in trouble because aosp roms don't work with that, as of now, it might work later... Who knows... Secondly you need to flash the boot.img separately thru fastboot because your are s-on and on 2.09... To make your life easier try to get s-off either thru facepalm or dirty racun... That way you can flash any rom and also downgrade your touch panel driver to get aosp working on your phone... If you flash viper rom it has a senseless option so you can use nova and get stability and some sort of aosp look... Good luck!

Yes, S-off is the way to go if you want to run CM. Otherwise, try meanbean or viper or sharkie or any other sense based Rom. They should work fine.

I have tried to do facepalm. When I put the code in (I'm assuming it goes in the command window), I get messages like "adb not valid command". Even though my phone is most definitely rooted, says unlocked. Should I redownload android-sdk? Thanks again!

ADB commands must be issued when the phone is mounted as media share not as fastboot. Connect your phone as if you were transferring files between it and your pc.
Something new to try since you're on the latest OTA.

I do have it connected to the computer like that. Do you mean I have to go into TWRP and mount it that way? I tried it that way too. I downloaded and whole new android SDK to see if that is the problem. If not, I am going to factory reset my phone and start over. I can't imagine why I was able to root the phone, get it unlocked, but now I can't do anything else with it. Not even get adb commands to recognize it.

This is for tabidee hey I was reading ur stuff on xda developers and I have a question. If u can help if not its cool. Ok so i got my sprint evo and I went to try to root it. I went thru a process that with the steps combined with htcdev site got me to say unlock my bootloader. I used hoot 2.09 and I was supposed to flash this pimg175 zip to i guess install a recovery. Well that won't work at all... I cant get my s on switched to s off and so i am stuck with according to the hoot screen a tampered, unlocked with s on, unrooted phone. I am so confused with all the steps and files I had to download, rename and save to various folders that I gave up. With my phone at its current state what do I do next? I deleted all the files from the day I unlocked it but if you can explain to me... And explain like if I was a five year old cuz I'm that dumbfounded on this subject... But if u can maybe walk me thru the rest of the process or walk me thru a undoing of what I done so far. I'm lisa. My email is [email protected]
Check out the link below. It's a GUI for rooting and has everything you need to get your phone rooted. You'll need to install the recovery first then superuser, which will give you root.

hboot 1.57.0000,
when i try to load a rom<negalite, not a jb or CM> i reboot after install and i get popped to my fastboot screen. i am using ext4 recovery, and im flashing correctly...i also dont have a recovery img on root of SD, so thats not it either. i reinstalled the recovery, "rerooted", wiped, and then flashed
the rom. no custom kernal, etc...i just want it to boot normal. i can deal with everything else from there ...anyone know whats going on?
any takers?
Umm couple threads down you can find the fix. Or click this link
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2354529
Now I will suggest going ahead and getting s-off. It will allow you to change your hboot so you can flash older roms and aosp roms which require the older hboot. S-off is really easy to do with little risk. Just make sure you read all the instructions multiple times. Also ask questions before you start if you are unsure of anything you will be doing.
With s-on you can only flash sense based ics roms and have to do extra steps to change kernels. The stock htc kernel is ok but there buttered toast is way better.
Also s-off is reversible so that you can have warranty work done. By unlocking through htc-dev you can relock but it leaves marker on your bootloader screen. So if sprint decided to check they will know it was unlocked. But when you revert from s-off there is nothing to tell sprint you were s-off.

Try turning smartflash on in 4ext
Hey, So i have a problem, I tried rooting my phone, and i guess i messed up somewhere, I lost my OS, and didn't create a backup because i'm stupid and didn't realize this could happen. I found a thread, relating to a similar problem, but a different phone so i relocked the phone with Hasoon's tool. Now i cannot find a proper RUU For my phone. I have an HTC One X+, Radio is 2.14.55.11, And the stock image is 1.20.661.1 or something. All i want now, is to return to stock. I've tried the RUU's from androidfiles . org/ruu/?developer=EvitaRE But no luck. It has some sort of error nearing the end. At the moment i can't find the error, as my phone is under %30, So after it reaches about 70, i'll try again and post the error. I'm getting pretty scared, as i'm new to this, and i don't want to lose my phone. Any help would be appreciated.
I don't really know what else to post, besides the radio, stock image file thing, and that it's the north american phone i guess, EvitaRE. The HBOOT is 1.40.0000 and it's stuck at the loading screen, 'HTC Quietly Brilliant'
Factory Reset's do not work, and push me back into the loading screen. It's in infinite boot, i guess, where i power the phone down and it just boots up again without me doing anything.
I dont know where i went wrong during the rooting process, as when Hasoon did it in his video tutorial, It worked out perfectly. but for me not so well, After flashing and unlocking bootloader etc, i clicked perm root, and i couldn't find the SuperUS or something, so i went to power the phone down into bootloader and it said i had no OS. I don't know what i did, and all i hope is that my phone can be somewhat revived so i can use it.
Thank you for reading, and any helpful information would be just appreciated.

EDIT: Extremely sorry, but i have found other posts about this, but i can't seem to understand the fix, so if possible, please dumb it down for me! I'm extremely sorry for even attempting the rooting in the first place :S

I think you are not flashing the kernel.
Also - after flashing kernel, wipe cache and dalvik...
