Currently I'm on 2.13 s-off, hboot 1.19, and TWRP on a stock rom. I want to jump up to jb but I dont know if I can just flash something like JellyBam through twrp or if i need to manually update to 3.15.
Can anyone shed some light on this for me?
Update your firmware using the thread below. Use the first link under 'Firmware Downloads'. This will update your radio and PRI. Your Hboot will remain the same. Once you've done this you can start flashing whatever JB ROM you wish

No problem
Edit: Once you've run the update through the bootloader, make sure you delete the PJ75IMG.zip off of your SD card so it doesn't try to run the update again the next time you are in the bootloader.

I'm a noob so I cant message in the development forum.
Is anyone else having issues flashing the rooted stock ICS zip? Info- Rooted and S-OFF using revolutionary, TWR, Eng and updated to the lastest radios (ICS) and SU.
After installing ICS I get stuck on the yellow and white sprint 3D screen and then the phone reboots over and over and over...?
thanks for the help!

You need to flash the newest hboot (1.58) through the bootloader

That should work but it might be worth flashing the RUU rather than the piecemeal update of ROM, firmware and hboot as separate zips. You will need to reflash your custom recovery afterwards, but that's pretty easy since you stay S-OFF after running the RUU, then you can flash a rooted ROM. That will make sure your phone is 100% in sync with the Sprint ICS update.

I've been trying to flash some of these new roms such as Cool ICS and SolidRom MyUI, both to no avail. I am on h-boot 1.4 with s-off. The last successful rom I had running on the phone was ICS MIUI. I had tried flash these roms on ext4 initially, then I tried twrp and both without success. Any tips/suggestions to get one of these roms to work?
Do I need a newer h-boot in order to flash these newer roms with newer kernels? If so, then how/what do I flash without losing s-off?
Well here goes nothing...going to try jbear's 1.58 hboot.
I still get bootloop after installing Cool ICS...
Getting bootloop with SolidRom MyUI as well. Could use some help please.

Yup, did a full wipe for prior to flashing every new rom. I have actually gotten SolidRom to work after installing the ICS firmware update img, but I still can't get Cool ICS to work.

If you are s-off then this should be easy to fix.
Some HBOOTs can only work for certain firmwares.
So if you want to run a ICS rom, you need to upgrade your hboot to either stock hboot 1.58, or Jbear's 1.58.5858
To upgrade your hboot, download the correct hboot from ramjet73's post here then rename the file to PG86IMG with the files extension as .ZIP
Place that on the root of your SDcard and boot into your bootloader. Accept the update, then restart your phone.
***EDIT***
I wasn't correct on some of the hboots and got some mixed up with the gsm EVO, for more info on hboots go to the link which ramjet73 has posted below.
I HOPED THIS HELPS!
MY PHONE
HTC EVO 3D
S-OFF and UNLOCKED
ROM: Team D.I.R.T. Unofficial AOKP v3.3
KERNEL: ButteredToasT-RLS v13.6
HBOOT: 1.40.0000
RECOVERY: 4EXT Touch Recovery

Then there are the newer firmwares that everyone has been having a fit over, 1.50, 1.58.0000, 1.53, 1.58.5858 (this is the Juopunutbear's custom hboot)
Those are the hboots that run only SPRINT/VM ICS roms.

You might want to read through this thread to get the correct information on CDMA hboots. Most of those you mentioned are Sprint bootloaders (the only VM bootloaders are 1.57 and JBear 1.57.5757) but 1.53 is for GSM phones only.

A couple of us are waiting for it. There are a few threads below this one. Hopefully it comes soon! To answer your other question, I believe RUUs come from HTC.

HTC releases the RUU, Sprint releases the OTA files. I know the RUUs used to be posted on HTC's website on each phone's page but I don't know if they do that anymore. Most likely a dev will post it as soon as it gets released.
While we wait, what happened to your phone? Maybe someone here can help.

To flash a custom ROM: You cannot downgrade the hboot yet as you already know, but I don't see why you wouldn't be able to go the more primitive root and use HTC's unlock method, flash TWRP (which has HTC Dumlock workaround for the boot.img) and go from there.
Completely Stock: All other RUUs will fail. You can checkout the stock OTA file here: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2045839 You should be able to flash this file from the stock recovery by renaming to update.zip but please check with a developer first since I have not actually tried this myself! To install the stock recovery: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2045935 and choose the 3rd firmware option (it will write ALL new firmware) including hboot, recovery, kernel, etc.)

The RUU we're waiting for is the .exe file that you run in Windows while connecting your phone to your PC. Not a zip.
sorry if this has been explained somewhere. I have been looking for hours. i need to downgrade my evo 4g lte back to isc so I can get the diag drivers to work to flash to cricket network with qpst. What I am look for is which ruu to use and can I just downgrade using which ever one I want. I did read somewhere that downgrading won't work. I did download an ruu, but windows will not open it for some reason. I am on 3.16 and hboot 2.09. moonshine s-off thanks in advance!!
First off, I'm not 100% certain on this. I think, because you are S-off you can flash MeanRom ICS and that may be all you need. Search the development forums for the download. Again, I'm not an expert but I have heard that this is possible.

If you're on the newest firmware update you would need to downgrade your touch panel driver to the previous version (unless you already have), otherwise your touch panel won't work if you install a ROM that's not based on software version 3.16. You could then flash an ICS ROM. You may also need to downgrade your recovery to an older version like 2.3.3.0. Other than that you should be good to go.
If you need to downgrade your touch panel driver, look in the link below.

Look in the downloads section of Captain's firmware thread. Use the touch panel from the 3.15 update. Install it as you would any other firmware update. There should be no need to change recoveries.
You need the touch panel labeled "tp_SYN3202.img zip ".

Hey Everyone,
This is my first actual post on xda but these forums have helped me with many things that have come up with during my time with Android
I recently installed CM 10.1.3 RC2 for my HTC EVO 4g LTE and couldn't find a good guide to going back to the stock software that I had before. Nothing is wrong with CM but I just prefer sense for this device.
To install CM I unlocked my bootloader with HTC DEV and flashed twrp 2.4.1.0 according to CM's guide. I installed GooManager for access to the twrp bootloader but from their I'm confused as to how to revert back to stock htc sense. I downloaded the latest RUU for my device so if anyone can help me out that would be great. Thanks.

You can flash a Sense ROM. There are quite a few to choose from. If you want to go back stock and unrooted, you can run a RUU. If you're on the latest Hboot, you'll have to S-off and run VipeRUU to get you back to stock, since there is no RUU for the latest OTA.
Also, there is no such thing as a "TWRP bootloader". TWRP is your recovery

No. The RUU is run from your computer. Custom ROM's are installed through TWRP.
Download this:

Then flash through recovery. It will get you back to stock.

No. It's a "stock" ROM, not a RUU. If you truly want to go back completely stock, get S-off and then use the tool in the link below. If you simply want a stock-feeling Sense ROM, check out the development threads-there are plenty.
Here is the link to VipeRUU. You must be S-off to use it.

It would also be helpful if you posted your Hboot and radio (baseband) version.
