Sorry if the answers im looking for are somewhere else but i cant find them. Im not new to the rooting game but it has been awhile, last phone rooted was the original evo and ive fallen behind on the new software and such. anyways ive rooted successfully and am running hboot 1.19 with s-on. for some reason i get the same error message when flasing a rom saying that sdcard cannot be found. do i need to be running s-off with 1.19 to flash roms? Thanks!

What rom are you flashing? What recovery are you using? What release of said recovery are you using? can you see the sdcard in the listing of the recovery screen?

Hopefully that all that is needed... but S-OFF is the way to go if you can do it. It will save you so many headaches in the future. HTC is making it harder on s-on people to do anything to their phone, this started with the 3.15 JB update and will probably get worse. S-OFF my friend S-OFF

Hold the phone. Flashing TOO new of a recovery (like TWRP 2.4.1) can also cause problems. There's something that the dev has to place in the ROM in order to be compatible with 2.4.1. May I suggest you try 2.3.1? It seems to be the "sweet spot" and works with most ROMs out there today.
Here's the install page for the evo 4g LTE:

I have a completely stock 3D with hboot 1.5, s-on, software 2.17. I want to gain root access in order to flash custom roms and such.
I saw a walk through on how to do this via HTCdev bootloader. I've also read about downgrading to hboot 1.4 and achieving s-off.
What are the advantages of downgrading to 1.4 and achieving s-off vs. sticking with 1.5 and s-on by using the HTCdev method?
Well fort you want be registered as having messed with your device to prevent a void in your warranty. The others are you can flash without any programs needed to install a kernel also you can flash splash screens. Flashing radios is also a benefit of soff. But soff will allow you to actually brick your device vs having just bootloader unlocked.

So s-off is going to give me more access. Essentially the better option if I'm willing to take the risk?
Everything I've read about downgrading to 1.4 and getting s-off is via Linux... Is there a way to do this from Windows 7 instead?

Keep this in mind... S-off is great but you can fully permabrick your device with s-off, hard to do but it can be done. S-on blows but I'm pretty sure you can fix anything but a hardware failure with the unbrick method.

Since my roommate is doing it for me (his computers and computer knowledge are way more capable than mine) I let him decide which way he was going to do it. We ended up going with the HTC bootloader unlock.
We got it successfully unlocked through the bootloader but it still doesn't have root access. Like, apps that require root won't work and he can't get anything to flash on it. Suggestions?

Thank you so much! That is awesome! I really appreciate you getting those all in one place for me.
I finally have root access and am currently running infected rom eternity and am super stoked!
reaper24 - Thank you for your input as well. I got the cwm 4... my roommate just tried to do something by going to one of the newer versions... Whatever it was he was trying to do didn't work and he went back to 4, so I'll definitely be sticking with that for now.
Next order of business... unlocking my friends' phone. She got hers in January (preloaded with hboot1.5 and 2.17). Can't get it to unlock via HTC bootloader unlock. I did read that there is a problem getting the newer ones that shipped with the updated software to unlock. I understand you need the 2.08 RUU. I found an active link and downloaded the file... Now what do I do with the thing?
Where did you find the working ruu I need one. I honestly think you just rename it to pg86img put it on the root of your sd card and hold down vol down and power. Once it loads into bootloafer it will scan the file and ask you if you want to flash it over.

If her phone has 2.17 then you can't run the 2.08. You need to run the 2.17 and then you can unlock it. I had to do that too.

So Sprint finally said there was a system update to ICS so I downloaded it and installed and it instantly popped up an error, didn't have any words it was just a picture of the guy with the warning sign. So I waited and it never did anything. I figured I would clear everything/factory reset and see if that fixed it. Nope. Even moreso, it wouldn't let me install any other ROM either. I did enough superwipes and stuff that I finally got the stock ROM to work so I'm back where I started.. One clue might be that I cannot seem to clear the sd-ext, it gives me an error there.
With it back in working order, if I don't clear anything and just try and install ICS from bootloader, what I show in the pic is what happens.
The last part about the E:error in sd card is what I was getting when all the other ROM's were screwing up.
Maybe bad sdcard

I don't see how when it works fine now. It's like something is messing with it but I have no clue what.
Re-lock your device and apply the update again.
Just do a fastboot command "fastboot oem lock".

Anyway, DO NOT TAKE AN OTA!
I am not the greatest with these things. You are saying I need to unroot my phone for this to work? And I need to somehow get rid of the revolutionary recovery thing? I don't know what OTA means but I can see it's part of the file name. Is there a non-OTA version of it that I can use? For some reason a lot of ROM's don't work. I have hboot 1.5 with s-on and cynogenmod and a lot of ICS ROM's just hang on the HTC screen.

You don't need to unroot, but you need to lock your bootloader and get the stock recovery back to take the OTA. The easiest way to upgrade to ICS without doing all that is to flash the new firmware, then flash a stock rooted rom if you want to stay on the stock rom.

Upgrade firmware through bootloader, then flash a stock rooted rom or a custom rom based on ICS. If you want to use the new kernel, you will have to upgrade hboot as well, or you can keep your current hboot and use the VM leak kernel.
For some reason a lot of ROM's don't work.

Could be a number of reasons, you need the new firmware to run an ICS rom, and you need the new hboot if those roms use the new kernel.

You can't flash kernels with s-on, so you will need to get s-off before you want to use an ICS rom.
Hey guys i gota semi bricked EVO LTE on the 3.16 SW i was wondering if anyone can help me fix. I tried to root it and thats what caused this issue. I did the bootloader unlocked, loaded TWRP recovery, then installed SU, then it wouldn't turn on, would only flash to sprint screen.
I have tried to to a full wipe / factory - didn't work
i have tried to load the 3.15 RUU - does not work (it just shows loading the rom forever)
i have tried to load it through fastboot via Ulimited.IO (it just freezes during the loading of the SW)
what else can i try? I seems like everytime the phone tries to take a ROM it will just not respond.
thanks
OK your on the latest firmware I think 3.16 and if your s-on that means you have the new touch panel driver which limits what ROMs will work on your device.
You need to download a ROM with a s-on installer included or pull the boot IMG from the ROM and flash via fast boot because you can't flash kernels easily when your S-ON .You also will need a rom that's compatible with the latest fw. AFAIK most of the sense ROMs will be good to go, I really don't know which ones cause I'm s-off and don't have the tp driver problem.
If you need more info there's s thread stickied in Q&A called "don't panic" that will answer most of questions
Once your up and running you should go about getting S-Off.

Looks like u need to unlock again. Use the same command as the last time
"Fast boot OEM unlock" or whatever it is. Flash twrp recovery thru fast boot. Once you have twrp installed flash a rooted ROM to gain root.

Do not use CMW. It was abandoned a long time ago for our phones. Something about it screwing up partitions. Install a new version of TWRP. 2.4 or higher. And Venom rom has an s-on installer for sure. Other roms might have one but I'm not sure which ones. Stay away from CMW.
The s-on installer is just an installer added to the ROM zip so that you don't have to flash the boot.img seperately. Just get a working version of TWRP and flash Venom (or other s-on friendly rom). That should work.

I have one last question, does this mean i can only install roms compatible with 3.16 now? The only reason i went through all of this was because i wanted ICS on it. The new JB diag drivers dont work, and the only way i can make the diag drivers work is to downgrade to ICS. If i try to downgrade will i mess it up again?

Yes, you are stuck on 3.16 roms. Anything below and your touchscreen won't work. I highly recommend going for s-off. Makes everything so much easier. The only other option is to use babyracun from unlimited.io then ruu to 3.15. But if you're doing that you might as well go for s-off.

Do steps 6-9 on unlimited io. That will leave your phone at stock 3.15. Then go and find out what facepalm requires and continue with that.

download the latest from here
http://techerrata.com/browse/twrp2/m7wls
boot into fastboot and flash the recovery then clear the cache
THANKS
What about cm 10.2 not reading my sd card will that have ant affect on the way it flashes twrp this time???? i will post how it goes when I do it later 2night...Thanks again,Robert
From what I read and the reason I tried to chance rom is that cm10.2 is not reading my sd cards so i hope it doesnt stop me from getting twrp cuz it wont read the right ext (sdext,sd,internal)...I hope im making sence cuz im deff a noob and only know so much..lol

All devices have different needs. Flashing an HTC one recovery on a 4glte could lead to many issues.
wth
Ok lets see. Last night I spent a few hours and got my evo 4g lte to load (twrp) so not only do I have bootloader(fastboot) I have twrp... I try to post the specs that I do know...{s-on, hboot- 2.09.0000, radio- 1.12.11.1210, and twrp 2.5.0.0..... But I have nothing on my internal sd at all so there was nothing to flash or revert to... When I booted into twrp and mounted to my computer internal was empy so I tried to put a ruu zip file there unmounted and tried to flash it in twrp...Nothing happened... So after hours of looking for what to do the only thin I see is to go S-OFF with PANDA? Im hopeing you guys can tell me if that's the right thing to do or should I try to get some type of rom or stockrom on the phone first? Also what is UBUNTU and do I need to use it...THANKS GUYS ALOT,ROB

Wrong forum. http://forum.xda-developers.com/forumdisplay.php?f=1590 You're likely to get into more trouble reading responses in this thread from people not reading the title and assuming you mean a HTC One.

Yes to this.
robburns20 please be careful what device section you are posting in. You could end up with a brick if you do not post in the correct section.

THANK YOU

THANKS FOR THE WARNING...I WILL POST MORE CAREFULLY :silly: :good:
I would like to start out with saying that I am not new to rooting/roms but a lot has changed since I went to iOS. I have TWRP accessible and I can push files to my /sdcard/
I have tried several rooms but all of them fail to install.
Can someone please tell me the steps I need to take to go back to either stock or have another ROM working? (RUU fails as well, however it does detect the phone)
Any help is appreciated and trust me I spent hours reading threads so not just posting this for an easy way out.

First, this should probably be in the Q&A section
Second, gonna need WAY more info about your phone. I assume you're rooted? S-off or S-on? What hboot version are you on? What version of TWRP are you currently using? What ROM are you on now? What RUU are you trying to use? Gonna have to give a little bit for us to work with.
Edit: Your signature also says you have the Evo Shift? Are you on the write forum?

I apologize for posting this in the wrong forum, like I was saying I haven't been here in a while and signature is outdated by about 6 years
Heres the info
TWRP v2.7.1.0
S-ON
HBOOT-2.10.0000
RADIO-1.13.11.1105
I had the last leaked RUU installed before I attempted flashing a custom ROM
Thank you for your reply!

Is your goal to flash another ROM or to go back to stock?
If you're going to be trying to flash another ROM I'd highly recommend running rumrunner and getting s-off. Otherwise there are a lot of hoops you'll need to jump through in order to flash ROMs (for starters, you'll need to flash the kernel separately).

Whichever one is faster, I just want the phone up and running again.
So it's not running at all now? I'm assuming you can boot into bootloader and recovery but nothing else, right? You can run an RUU while in fastboot if I recall, which will give you at least a usable phone. That's also probably the fastest thing to do.
After that I'd highly recommend using rumrunner to get s-off. Otherwise flashing new ROMs will be a bear.

RUU fails with errors and it gets stuck at "HTC" screen
Do you have HTC Sync installed on your computer?

Ah, I think something else made me delete it.
That'll do it. You need to have HTC Sync and all of the necessary drivers to run the RUU

D'oh! I bet your bootloader is still unlocked. It needs to be relocked before running the RUU.
Fastboot command 'fastboot oem lock' ought to do the trick.
