also, how do i install? do i flash from twrp? or in bootloader somehow?
thanks everyone

Make a backup before you go any further. Check out Captain Throwback's firmware thread regarding upgrading your firmware.
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1704612
If you plan to stick with 3.16 ROMs, you can flash the new touch panel update, otherwise stick with what you have and flash the 3.16 firmware through the bootloader. The upgraded touch panel isn't included with the 3.16 firmware. Also remember that if you flash the new touch panel update you need to be running at least TWRP 2.4.1.0.
The advice is free....the bandwidth, not so much

yeah i read all that (haven't looked at the thread yet tho). but how do i do it through bootloader??? and the touch panel update is cool. is that through bootloader also??? and how? rename it to pc75 something something then change? and does it have to be in a certain order? and do i need to do that before i do my nandroid?
edit: after reading your link, you the man birmingham

Go ahead and make a backup. Afterwards, download the firmware to the root directory of your external SD card. Name the file PJ75IMG.zip (make sure that you don't have an extra zip on the end or it won't work). Reboot to bootloader. If it doesn't automatically scan for the zip you may have to select the bootloader option in the menu. Just follow the on screen instructions and you should be golden. The touch panel is updated the same way, if I recall correctly (been a few weeks since I did it)

Isn't it PJ75IMG, not PC75? Also, if you update tp, you'll be really limited what ROMs you can use.
From my Evo LTE, yup.

The touch panel update isn't in Captain's firmware zip, so if all you did was update your firmware then you are fine. You have to update the touch panel separately.

Anything that's based on 3.16 will work. CM or anything based on 3.15 or lower need the older one. And Captain_Throwback has the older tp image in his firmware thread so it's not that hard to downgrade if needed.

[Q] JellBAM, CM10.1 mods after install touch screen stops working, Noob help please?

Hello, my apologies if this problem has arisen in the past. however, after rigorously browsing the forums, I came up short.
When I install/ flash the jellybam rom or cm10.1 rom, the screen stops working except for in bootloader and twrp recovery. I heard you have to downgrade the touch panel, how do i do that?
I have;
-HBOOT 2.09
- build 3.19 and I belive everything else is up to date on the latest software.
I _think_ you need to update the touch panel drivers/firmware also, located here: http://themikmik.com/showthread.php...LE-Jewel-Radio-Collection&p=220556&viewfull=1
tp_SYN3202.img is the latest, but it says it will break touch screen in recovery and on non-stock roms if done incorrectly.
I would ask this question in captain_throwback's latest firmware thread before you install tp_SYN3202.img
I'm only pointing you in the right direction, I have NO experience with updating the touch panel .img - please ask someone who has dealt with this before you do ANYTHING (I just dont want you to break your evo!)

The newest touch panel firmware doesn't work with AOSP, AOKP, 3.15 based ROMs (or lower), or older recoveries..You need to revert to the old TP firmware before flashing any ROM not based on 3.16.

As far as I know all the files are located in Capt Throwback's firmware thread. You probably need S-Off to flash them though. The new 3.16 OTA updated the touchscreen's firmware. This new update is only good with the latest TWRP and 3.16 based roms..so to flash anything on the old base or AOSP you need the old touchscreen firmware. Hope that clears it up a little.

I seem to have the same problem.
I'm running the viper rom on my evo 4g. Was going to upgrade to the latest version and wanted to update firmware first.
I grabbed the latest twrp (4.2.1) installed that, rebooted.
I then grabbed the latest firmware from themikmik, installed that and rebooted.
And i then grabbed the tp_syn3202 update and installed that and rebooted
And now my touch screen does not respond to any touch input. I don't know what to do at this point since they only thing i can do is either force the phone to reboot, or go into hboot by holding down the volume down and camera keys. And all that does is ask me if i want to reinstall the tp update.
I don't know how to get into twrp to even try and install the latest rom assuming that would fix the issue.

You have to downgrade your touch panel driver to the 3.15 version. Check the thread below and go to the downloads link in the first post. The touch panel driver is installed the same way you upgrade firmware, through the bootloader.
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1704612
On the page with the downloads, the touch panel zip is in the second post and is labeled " tp_SYN3202.img zip". If you've forgotten how to do a firmware update, hit the top link in my sig and look for the section on firmware updates.
Seriously though, there are plenty of newer, up-to-date ROM's out there. Why would you bother with this one?

Did you flash the touch panel too, or just the firmware without touch? AFAIK, the tp doesn't work for non 3.16, and will cause issues. When you say you are getting errors, what are the errors?

I flashed the full firmware, which apparently has the tp in it.

Are you s-off? If so you can downgrade the TP only. The zip for that is in the firmware thread.
Downgrading firmware will result in a brick I believe. If you are s- on then either stay with 3.16 ROMs or s- off your phone.

Ummm......as far as downgrading, one of the root methods had you downgrade your phone. Can't recall which one, can't really be bothered to look it up, but that's how a lot of people got s-off. Technically, you temp-brick your phone, but I mean...it takes all of half an hour, if that.
EDIT: ....well, hell. Not that it matters now. *LOL* Glad it was resolved -- didn't see the other posts when I made mine.

[Q] CM10.0 and non-responding touchscreen? In the OS, not the recovery.

So I just put CM10.0 on my phone, using TWRPS 2.4.4 (CWM didn't seem to respond for me) and I can boot into Android but the touchscreen doesn't work. The touchscreen does work in recovery however. Can anyone help me out here because I've been searching for solutions about this all night, and I eventually gave up and decided to make this.
Thanks, in advance.
EDIT: May I note that I applied CM10.0 because 10.1 got stuck at the CM boot screen for some reason. Also, I was updated to the latest stock software before I started this whole process.
You need to downgrade your touch panel and TWRP to something like 2.3.3.0. to run CM10. Right now you're limited to running ROM's that are software version 3.16. Read Captain Throwback's firmware thread in development for more info. The best way to downgrade would be by getting S-off. Makes life much simpler

[Q] downgrading help

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.

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 ".

[Q] How to Remove Cyanogenmod & TWRP from HTC EVO 4G LTE

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

If he's on the latest OTA and flashes that ROM his touch screen won't work...............
He needs the 3.16 software version, not 3.15.

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.

Just use the VipeRUU and don't mess with your phone as its happening. ( you won't be able to use it for 30mins+ during the process.
