Help!! Bootloader won't let me pass - Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE

After flashing a new rom, I'm not able to get pass my bootloader. Even after restarting the phone, it boots up into the bootloader. Any ideas on what to do to get pass my angry bootloader?
Thank in advance

Did you try getting to recovery from the bootloader, if you can't try installing the recovery again by putting the PJ75IMG.ZIP on your sd card then try again and hopefully it works and you have a backup

Yea, I can get to recovery and even flash a rom to the point it tells me to reboot, but thats it though.

Are you s-on or s-off??

Are you SON? If so did you fastboot the boot img?

So after you flash a ROM then reboot it goes right to the bootloader? Are you on the latest twrp? Try a stock rom thru the bootloader with a PJ75IMG.ZIP

Did you wipe before flashing the new rom. You should wipe caches, system, and factory reset.
Sent from my EVO using Tapatalk 2

Yes sir, as i always do.

You need to copy the boot.img of the rom you are flashing to your fastboot folder and then fastboot the boot.img
That happened to me a couple of days ago when I was going from mean rom to viper rom.

Thanks alot, I'm trying that now

In case you dont know this is how it goes:
fastboot flash boot boot.img
That should take care of it

Ok, I'm a bit lost on this....lol

After you copied the boot.IMG from the rom folder you are flashing into the fastboot folder, you open cmd if you have windows, cd to your fasboot folder and typed that command to flash the boot.img

Fastboot folder is on ur computer where u installed the android SDK. The command u use is the one posted 2 posts above u with fastboot flash recovery recovery.img or something like that use his command since mines probably wrong. The boot.img u extract from the Rom zip

SOLVED cant flash cwm

Hi
I have a Legend and i have made it S-OFF with htc-dev
now i am trying have it rooted and flash cwm onto it.
when i boot into HBOOT with power + vol- and plugin the usb cable and enters the adb like this:
Code:
C:\legend>adb reboot bootloader
error: device not found
C:\legend>fastboot devices
SH0BTNX04748 fastboot
C:\legend>fastboot flash recovery.img
unknown partition 'recovery.img'
error: cannot determine image filename for 'recovery.img'
C:\legend>
I have tried a number of the guides here and other places on the net, but cant get it rooted or flash cwm.
I am suspecting some error on the Legend, because i cannot even flash the latest update for it:
RUU_Legend_Froyo_S_HTC_WWE_3.15.405.6_Radio_47.51.35.17_7.13.35.05_release_222317_signed.exe

any and all hints and proposalsare welcome in my "quest" to solve this problem.

You obviously did not fully read the flashing instructions correctly, the flashing command you typed into your post is not compleat or correct.
Hint:-
fastboot flash recovery recovery.img
Or
Adb shell flash_image recovery recovery.img
Another usefully hint, read this post

Hi Ranger4740
Happy NewYear to you as well (we are in 2013 with almost an hour in denmark by now)
Your Right, I missed some things. My bad.
It seems I cant get it to S-OFF. Only unlocked. and i have HBOOT 1.02
So I tried the fake-flash but as the picture shows it doesnt work either.
signature verification failed
Installation aborted.

I more and more believe that it is going to be retired. I just hoped I could try ICS or JB on it, like I use on my Desire and Sensation.
As noted by me and others in many many threads regarding hboot 1.02 you can't use fake flash you must do the s-off method of clockwork mod recovery.
Do the s-off flashy thing, then you can boot into clockworkmod recovery

I really do need to get better "search skills" in forums. I found the "how to root htc legend" tread and the htc supertool v3 and my (many ugly words) phone still wont do as I ask of it. I put my next question about the tool in there.
So i believe this should the last post from me in this tread.
A lot of thanks to you for help, hints and inspiration
Best regards

Need help flashing boot.img

I am s-on and trying to flash Tron. I am currently on Rage 1.8.
I don't mind flashing the boot.img through hboot at all. However, I can not get the image to flash to the phone. I had this problem before when flashing Rage. The phone just decided to take the boot image so I don't know what I did differently to get it to work.
I used Scott's CleanFlash and that wouldn't work. I try command prompt that wouldn't work.
Any ideas what is keeping the boot image from flashing? Thank you in advance.

I just uninstalled and reinstalled drivers and that didn't help. Everything I try ends up having the same error.
FAILED (remote: NOT ALLOWED)
I don't quite understand that since I check connection with "fastboot devices" and it always brings up my phone's serial number.

You should be able to flash a boot.img by booting your phone to bootloader.
Then on your pc, navigate so that the command prompt is where you have your adb stuff set up. Have the boot.img file in there too, and then type the following in the command window:
fastboot flash boot boot.img
Should flash.

It sounds like you're on hboot 2.27 .... If that is the case you can't remotely push anymore for the boot partition. You will have to find a flashable ph98img.zip and do it that way.

How would I go about doing that? I saw a thread where someone took one they already had and just replaced the boot.img with the one needed. However, I don't have a ph98img.zip on hand (at least I can't find one). Can I just take the boot.img and zip it with winrar and name it ph98img.zip, put it on my SD card and it work?

Are you on the global firmware releases? Somewhere there is a thread by con247 that tells you how to make your own ph98img.zip But ideally you want to get fastboot flash working again

I am not on the global release. Thanks, I will search for that thread. Is there a difference in the ph98img.zip for sense and aosp? I imagine there would be. I wish knew what was causing fastboot to not work right.

Yeah, I double checked that. I few times actually. I am gonna try to change USB ports to see that works. It fixed this issue for someone else.
This may sound dumb, what is the difference in the firmware and radios? I mean, I am sure there is a big difference, but what, other than the radios, are included in the firmware? I have the .310r and .308r radios.

So changing USB ports didn't work. I only had about fifteen minutes this morning to work on it.

I am s-on. I download the ROM. Extract the boot.IMG to my desktop. Reboot my phone into boot loader. Connect USB. Open hansoons tool kit. Click flash kernel. Select the boot.IMG on my desktop. Flashes that in a few seconds....disconnect. Reboot. Enjoy. I've done this with MHF and Tron
Sent from my Rezound using xda app-developers app
Failed remote not allowed is usually because you have a locked hboot, sounds like you updated firmware and hboot but didn't unlock the new hboot.
You might as well drop the global RUU on your external sdcard and boot to hboot and flash it, then unlock and flash recovery.
Yes it makes a huge difference. In an s on device you update the RUU which is the rom, kernel, bootloader and recovery and radio and modem firmware ans drivers. It also changes some things like mount points.

Just wanting to double check before going through all of it. Also, if my hboot IS locked, I should be able to just run it and not have to "fastboot OEM lock" will I?
Also, I saw where it said you will lose data. Is that internal or both?
Sent from my Rezound using xda app-developers app
That's the correct link.
You're right if your hboot is locked you shouldn't have to fastboot OEM lock. You should just be able to place it on your ext_sdcard and then boot the phone to hboot and it will ask you to run update.
Only the internal storage should be wiped, ext sdcard shouldn't but I always recommend copying both internal and external storage to a folder on the computer just in case. Also make sure your contacts are synced, and anything else backed up from the system itself.

I imagine doing a nandroid backup internal and external on a spare sdcard would work. Hopefully I will be able to get it all working tonight.
After I run the RUU, I will have to use my unlock token-> flash amon ra-> then flash ROM. Correct? Sorry for all the questions. I don't have internet at my house so I want to make sure I am prepared.

Cyanogenmod Loop

I just rooted my EVO LTE and am trying to install CM 10. Everytime I do I get a boot loop. I've rebooted multiple times with the same result.
So far backups have been good, but I'd like CM10
I have S-Off, tampered. TWRP is my recovery along with GOO Manager. I tested that I have root and super user with some apps from the Play Store.
I realize that I'm probably leaving a ton of stuff out, but if you have any suggestions or questions please let me know.
Thanks
Before installing cm10.1 are you wiping? Also are you sure you are soff?

I just looked, I am not S-off. I thought that I had run through all the settings, but apparently not. I hate to ask, but how would I go about this if I have SuperUser/root access?

To get into recovery go into recovery(pwr+vol down), then depending on your recovery you need to find the sideload option(probably in advance or something similar), then just plug it into your computer and use the adb sideload rom.zip command to flash a rom.

You can reboot your phone once you're done and delete the file with a file manager. The only issue you'll have is if you reboot the bootloader.
