Can't seem to flash cm10 - Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE

So I've finally taken the plunge and rooted and s-off my ltevo this evening and I have been trying to flash cm10 and I keep getting stuck in a bootloop I'm trying to flash the new stable cm10 and yup bootloop, and I've done full wipes I'm thinking it was a bad download so I redownloaded and yup bootloop

Your not s-off, and judging from the fact you can't boot cm, your not on hboot 1.12. Check out http://unlimited.io/dirtyracun.htm this will allow you to s-off and not have to worry about flashing the boot.img through fastboot.

I used regaw method of achieving root and it does s-off also, and like I said cm10 goes into bootloop

regaw_leinad's tool only unlocks your bootloader, through the method provided by HTC. You do not achieve s-off though that. If you boot into your bootloader, you will see s-on, the next line below where it says unlocked.

Aw, I was under the impression I had s off and bad downloads lol how can I flash the boot IMG

Personally, your much better off actually going with dirtyracun. If your s-off all you have to do is flash the rom.zip. If you dont wanna go that route, you need adb set up. After you have adb set up, just cd to what ever directory you extracted the boot.img out of the rom to, and type fastboot flash boot boot.img
sorry, I'm not gunna spoon feed ya through the process, but atleast it sends you in the right direction

Can't flash cwm?

Im currently on ics leak, and tried flashing cwm through cmd
"Flash fastboot recovery recovery******"
And it just gives me "waiting for device"
I'm trying to flash the superuser file to gain root then then use 4ext to flash superwipe and then flash roms.
Any help would be greatly appreciated.
I'm not home right now but would love some feedback

You have to have the ENG Hboot to flash a recovery. That is bug with the ICS update.
Try
Fastboot flash recovery recoveryxxxx.img
Wait....I sent this with Tapatalk?

Are you s=off? If s=off, no need to unlock bootloader. Mine is locked.
But if you are s=on, you must unlock bootloader to install custom recovery. Just like before man

Ok s-off ?

I was wandering if its necessary to flash an hboot or recovery after I s-off ? I'm on ics stock rooted n obviously s-on n stock kernel n I already have 4ext recovery

Trust me, after getting S-Off, flashing a recovery/hboot is the least of your worries. Generally, it will flash j-bear hboot so you're good. As for recovery, you do need to flash one.
Correct me if i'm wrong though.
I figured cuz I'm trying to do his steps n I was just wandering if it kinda starting fresh again u know after s-off get recovery ,root it , n go from there n the program doesn't come with an hboot so imma use a ph185.img n then flash 4ext

You shouldn't have to flash one, but once the process is complete, try rebooting into recovery to see if your custom recovery is still there, it usually is.

You have to relock your bootloader to be able to take the OTA I'm pretty sure

I think you just need to type "fastboot oem lock" without the quotes in a cmd window.
An RUU will take you back to complete stock.
I have never done it so not 100%
Question why have you not tried to go S-OFF? It would save you so many headaches.
I'm pretty sure you need the stock recovery to accept an OTA so RUU is probably the way to go
Sent from my EVO using xda premium
I can confirm. RUU failed until I had the stock recovery and locked bootloader
Sent from my EVO
Thanks fellas
adb tools w/stock recovery incase anyone needs it
I'm S-On, Unlocked, rooted, hboot 1.15 and have TWRP (don't recall which custom ROM I installed months ago but it is stock based). When I checked for the JB update I was notified it was there and was able to download it but I haven't tried installing yet. Will I be able to install it or will I need to re-lock, un-root or otherwise modify my phone before I can install stock JB?
Some people are having trouble recovering root after 2.03, might be better to wait a bit longer

Why only certain roms???

so my Evo Lte is pretty maxxed out without having s-off. But i can only get roms that are at least 500mb to work on my phone, anything else it just does a boot loop or stays at the htc start screen. what am i missing?

Are you flashing the boot img in fastboot before installing in recovery? Most sense roms are over 500mb and have the same kernel so it boots up fine without flashing the boot img before hand. Aosp roms will require you to flash the boot img before hand if you're s-on

^This. You will need to put the boot.img in your ADB tools folder on your computer, put the phone in fastboot USB mode and use the command 'fastboot flash boot boot.img' to flash the kernel to your phone. A better solution is to get S-off so you don't have to mess with flashing the kernel separately .

Agreed. Best thing to do is get S-OFF! :good: :good: :good:
S-OFF is cake now. No reason NOT to do it. It will make all of this EASIER for you. Just up and do it.
You have two possible methods to do this: DirtyRacun or Facepalm. The latter can be done in five minutes.
You'll thank yourself later.

From the thread I linked previously -
"You can also come by irc for support or just to say thanks: #FacePalm http://chat.andirc.net:8080/?channels=facepalm"
I know it can be scary, but you have to read the forum(s) and/or watch the video(s). Since you took the trouble to register on this site, don't rush and take the time to learn and understand by reading, reading, and more reading. It's not an overnight thing, but it does come eventually. It took me 6 months before I began to have a decent understanding of what I was doing with my first PC...
No offense, but we can't hold your hand as you cross the street. You have to take those first steps yourself. Read carefully, make notes that YOU will understand a day later... but you must take the responsibility for what happens to your phone.
Can you tell I'm a parent? :silly:

You cannot run ruu. There is not one for hboot 1.58.
You need to flash a Rom, like harmonia
Then get soff
Then if you need to, you can run ruu
