I'm not a big phone geek but I know enough to root and unlock my rezound. I wanna run a Rom but I still have the old firm ware. Are there any roms out there that I can use with the old firmware and no sense. Please help. Thanks for your guys time.

You can run any rom you want. If you run an ICS rom with the leaked firmware you need the firmware patch.
Where do I find the firmware patch. The software that my phone is running is 2.91.605.11
The pri version is 1.13_002, 1.88_002

All the info you need is posted in the Roms op ........... In the dev section. In the install instructions.

I suggest running BAMF or Rezrom. Bamf you can already get in a senseless flavor, Rezrom you would have to enable AOSP lockscreen in Rezrom Tweaks & would have to install a launcher of your choice. Once you get the rom fully booted, do a reboot to recovery, do a USB moutn to rename PH98IMG in SD card root and flash old firmware patches, so you can access your sd card again.
I wanna thank everyone that helped me flash a senseless Ics rom. Thank you.

Can someone explain the difference between these items? Also what each allows you to do and if it can be done on a stock phone with stock ota upgrade.

With s-on you can only flash radios, roms, and kernels. With s-off you can flash radios, pri, roms and kernels. As well as remove the red warning message during first boot. If you are on the latest ota. I don't believe you can use s-off yet.
On a side note I am s-on and have only upgraded the radio and Rom and everything is running awesome with mean Rom 1.5
Sent from my EVO using xda app-developers app
With the new ota, when htcdev unlocked there is no more flashing of radios kernals or splash screens. It's pretty much capable of flashing custom recoveries and that is all.

So basically you can do nothing.. What about rooting..

You will need to unlock to flash a recovery image after rooting if u plan on flashing roms or mods still tho.

Which hboot did you flash? Have you flashed the latest (2.89.651.2) firmware? Did you use 4EXT recovery and "format all partitions except SD card"?

Ramjet, I flashed hboot 1.50 and I'm using 4 ext recovery. Now about the firmware, do I need to flash the latest? The crazy thing is, I had lens jb rom and working great. But the Google voice was getting on my nerves. So I thought it was the rom. I flashed back to SOS M thinking I can get rid of goggle voice and still there. Well long story short, I disable Google voice and now when I try to flash back lens jb rom, it stays on boot loop.

It would be a good idea to update to the current firmware (from the 2.89.651.2 build) if you haven't already, but I doubt that's your problem. Make sure to do a "format all partitions except SD card" in 4EXT right before flashing the JB ROM. Do not do a superwipe script as the latest AOSP ROM's don't seem to like that.

I have tried many Roms on this phone and I finally have s-off jbear. And so far nothing pleases me to the point where il use it everyday lol.. I got YAS4.v9. (Which is my favorite so far)Yesterday and it actually booted now that I have s-off but the WiFi doesn't work (when I try to enable it, it says error) no matter what kernel I flash with the Rom. I tried all 3 , stock, mirage, and buttered toast...no luck. On the page of yas4 it said hboot 1.58 recommended but after doing jbear s-off last night it changed my hboot to 1.57.5757 maybe that's the problem? I used to be on 1.58.0000 but with s-on yas4 never worked. If anyone has a solution to fix the WiFi error on this awesome Rom (YAS4.V9. please let me know) So now I am back to the stock ruu with the backup I made. If there are other awesome roms you have and liked please let me know. I would also prefer sense 4 roms but whatever works, works!!! Thanks for any help.
P.S: I've saw this gingerbread senseless Rom but I'm not able to download it and it just looks like a super fast and very lite rom. Anyone knows where I can download it? Thanks.

On the sense 4 Rom you have to do something with WiFi direct, don't know exactly I didn't play with it much. You were on the right track by flashing a kernal, but it won't help on that rom
If your going to flash anything other than sense ics, you will want to switch to hboot 1.50.5050
Once u switch to that hboot you can flash gb, jb, miui and some ics. Just make sure they are for cdma
I would recommend the hood pope
4.3 Rom. It is nice!
But there are a ton of roms and everyone has their preference.

Well i just tried flashed the 4.3 version. It booted successfully but as soon as the pull ring screen appears my phone just completely shuts off and reboots and it wont stop...So once again i flashed my stock backup. Do i have to be on hboot 1.50.5050 for this rom to work?
I guess I should explain when you switch the hboot 1.50 you will not be able to boot some roms. If you flash the wrong rom it could boot loop. so a good rom to flash would be butterz sense. I'm pretty sure it works on all hboots.
once you flash the ROM you need to change your hboot by flashing a pg86img.zip through bootloader
You do this by placing this file on the root of your SD card and rename PG86Img.zip
https://db.tt/qS7iQe0y
Reboot into bootloader and accept the update you will then need to boot into the Rom and delete or rename the PGI
86IMG.ZIP from your sd using a file explorer program
Reboot back to bootloader ensure that your HBOOT has changed to 1.50 then you can proceed to flash gingerbread or jelly bean roms, just make sure to backup before you do anything

Ok i might flash my hboot. But does the original rom you told me to get (http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1551360) Work on hboot 1.57.5757? All i wanted to know is if i needed the hboot 1.50 or is there another reason why it restarts? Im not in a boot loop. The phone boots but as soon as the unlock screen appears it will shut off and restart.

Soff won't change. You essentially got Soff so you could change hboots.
The op of a rom should say what hboot works.
If it doesn't say, general rule is
Ics = 1.57 or up
Anything else = 1.50 or below

lol..I wish i could find a way to flash this kernel (http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1866375) then i could oc the cpu to 1.9. What kernel do you use.. I would use the mac one but with the download link they supplied its not a kernel size...Its like over 100mb? that makes no sense..I just want my phone perfect. Hmm im guessing you have your phone all nice and tidy- What are you running? Kernel, rom, hboot, recovery?
I change often
Mirage is a great kernel imo
Right now I'm running the ics version of zr3d-XL. I'm on hboot 1.50
As long a you have a good backup, flash away and only do 1 tweak or add on at a time. Sooner or later you will Bork your phone....but with a good backup, you can usually save yourself pretty quick

O..well I flashed this gb Rom and it is very light and fast. But I tryed to flash mirage kernel and my phone wouldn't boot. I'm guessing its only for ics. I'm starting to think I should have bought the HTC EVO 4g LTE. I like this one but coming from the HTC inspire i thought it would be flawless with most games (cause that's what I like to do) and it still seems laggy. Try downloading arcane legends from the app store and tell me if it lags at all. It's an mmo and when I'm in an area with a lot of people it will lag. But the thing is when I'm playing on my friends LG motion which has the same specs as the HTC EVO 3d, except the motion has a 3.5" screen or something like that. It never lags at all. And all games seem flawless.. u could even try running nenamark 2 on your phone and let me know what you get. I got about 49fps once. You can get it from the playstore. P.s what kernels work with gb? Mirage dosent boot. I also tryed buttered toast non working either.

Yesterday I unlocked my bootloader, got TWRP recovery, got S-OFF and rooted my phone. Is there anything else important I need to do?
I also got ext4, which i believe got rid of TWRP because now i can't find it. Which is better?
I flashed a new kernel, but it broke the wifi, there were no wifi modules so I returned to stock kernel. I'm using Flash Image GUI. Is that the best way to flash roms and kernels? Something's telling me its not.
On a related note what seems to be the best overall kernel + rom configuration? I know its opinion based but from what I've seen there's not much descriptive information on roms and kernels.
This is my first HTC device, help much appreciated.

4 ext recovery is recomended for Evo. Personaly I always flashed my kernels via recovery (same as ROM flashing but wipe cashe and dalvik only). As for ROM kernel combo, that's up to you and your phone. My best combo might not even work on your phone, so it's flashing time for you. Flash away and find what works the best

Might sound stupid but is there any instructional video for using ext4? I've never used this recovery and want to make sure I'm flashing kernels and rooms correctly.
Sent from my R800i using xda app-developers app
I don't know about tutorials but it's easy. Before flashing just wipe everything except SD card ( you can do this twice, just to be sure there are no leftover files) and choose zip file to flash. Always flash ROM first. You can flash kernel right after the ROM but I always boot my ROM, let it settle for few minutes and then boot into recovery, wipe cache and dalvik and then flash kernel. That's all there is to it. You can also fix permissions after you flash the ROM but I never did it and had no problems.

If you want to flash jb or kitkat, you need to change your hboot to 1.50 or lower.
Make sure you are flashing cdma files, the ones for gsm will cause many headaches and potential brick.

For example the XPERIA PLAY works best on GB roms because of game play compatibility. Not sure is the evo V has any of these catches.

Sent from my R800i using xda app-developers app
First make a nandroid backup and backup your app data and such
Then you'll want to flash a Rom that boots with both hboots (1.57(58) and 1.50)
There's a bunch but I know butterz sense does work
Then put jbear 1.50 zip on the root of your sd
Rename that file pg86img.zip
Reboot to bootloader and accept the update
Reboot the phone
Now make sure you remove or rename that pg86img.zip
Now you can reboot to bootloader and verify your hboot changed
If its changed you're good to go flash jb, kk, or gb:thumbup:
