No ROMs able to flash? - Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE

I tried flashing a couple ROMs but none of them would get more than about sixty percent done before they stop making any progress. I literally had one trying to flash for over six hours. I am s on, with twrp 2.1.8. I was trying to flash mean bean from cm10. I realize that I would have to flash the kernel separately but I could not flash the cm Rom either. I ended up having to restore my nandroid.Any ideas?

You have to update your TWRP. That version is so out of date no rom will install with it. The latest version is 2.4.4. Either download it from the teamwin site or install goo manager from the play store and let it update the recovery.

2.4.4.0 will only work if he's on the latest OTA full firmware including touch panel drivers
If he is not I suggest 2.3.1.0

Can I use goo manager to get an updated version but not the newest? I am not on the latest ota

I don't think so but if you download this there are a few different versions inside as well as instructions on how to fastboot flash

Sorry to necro this, but I haven't been in a position to answer until now. The link you sent me is no longer available. So I am wondering if I can grab the 2.3.1.0 from This repository? and will this video be the correct way to do the fastboot to update my recovery?

Yeah, that repo is good. As for vid, didn't have time but would guess yes. If you want confirmation, check YouTube for vids by qbking77 about flashing recovery on galaxy nexus, it's a great tut for setting up adb and fastboot.

So the 2.3.1.0 version would be okay for me as far as being able to flash? I am not sure which one would be okay as far as what OTA I would have
Also video tuts show that I should fast boot with "fastboot flash boot boot.img". Since I am doing the recovery.img I should be able to instead type "fastboot flash boot recovery.img"?

If you have the latest OTA (software version 3.16) and newest firmware you need TWRP 2.4+. Otherwise 2.3.1.0. is fine. As for your second question, you are correct. I normally will rename the recovery file 'twrp', so I use the command 'fastboot flash recovery twrp.img'.

Flashing CM9 (lenoob) problems

I am S-ON, unlocked, and rooted. I made a backup in TWRP, and flashed the latest lenoob's CM9, then flashed gapps. Upon reboot, it hangs at the white HTC screen. So i read a little and see that i need to extract the boot.img from lenoob's image, and zip it on its own as PH98IMG.zip and place it on the root of the sd card. Great, so i did that, booted into HBOOT, it saw the PH98IMG.zip, said parsing, then never gave me an option to push UP to flash or reboot. Just puts me at the HBOOT menu.
Am i missing a step here?
Aha- i bet its because I'm still unlocked. fffffff i'm at work and can't relock :-/
I could be wrong because I'm still new, but being unlocked shouldn't have anything to do with it, I think you need to be unlocked to flash Roms. I don't have experience with TWRP but if your s-on you could also use fast boot to flash the boot.Img after flashing the rom itself
Sent from my Adrenalized Rezound
Extract the boot.img place it where you have adb on you computer then flash Rom gapps boot back to bootloader and use command fastboot flash boot boot.img, you have to be unlocked to flash roms if s-on.

I could have sworn i read somewhere that i can flash stuff in TWRP, but not the boot image. Thought the boot image had to be flashed in HBOOT and for HBOOT to actually flash the image, the phone needs to be locked or relocked. I'm new too so i could have lots of bad information :fingers-crossed:
Also don't forget to wipe first.

And so far, this build is impeccable, the only things I'm seeing problems with is some atypical choppiness.. which is to be expected. However, it's the battery life that I'm interested in, today will be the test for me. Lets see how it does.

Read through the OP of the cm9 thread and you will see it says "enable GPU rendering in developer options to remove keyboard lag". This should help with overall lag.

Oh, it's not keyboard lag, it's just some choppiness in some spots, not too big a deal. I am well aware of the enable GPU rendering deal.. all together, pretty darn good so far, I'm quite happy with the CM9 builds as it is.

I have a question. phone is S-ON, unlocked, and rooted. I have never flashed a rom before. I am extreme newb at that.
I can understand the flashing of the PH98IMG.zip.
If you could help me understand what gapps is? Is this just some google apps? And if so when you say you flashed gapps, do you flash it in the same way you would the boot image?
Thanks in advance for help.
Gapps are simply Google apps.. play store... Gmail.. YouTube.. and so forth.

Do you flash them like you would the boot.img?
As in fastboot flash gapps?
Also do I need to worry about the kernel?

twrp v2.3.1.0 problems

I updated to TWRP v2.3.1.0 via goo manager and the install seemed to work but now I cant flash any zips and it wont run a new backup.
No matter what I try to have it do it goes:
Finished running boot script

and then it says it was successful. But the backup only runs for 5 seconds before saying successful and the zips I flash dont work. Any ideas? I reinstalled via goo manager and got the same result.

You can install it from goo manager it's in the market, open goomanager press menu choose install openrecoveryscript it will do everything for you
someone on the team win website figured it out. you have to go into the twrp settings and uncheck the box for simulating. worked perfectly after that. sheesh, that only took two weeks.
Is there anything negative about updating your TWRP version? I'm on v2.2.2.0 Is there a possibility the update will mess with flashing ROMs?

Can't boot into recovery

I'm running s-off and latest twrp recovery. haven't flashed anything in a while, thought I'd update rom ( superjelly) and power menu option for reboot to recovery simply reboots phone. choosing to reboot into boot loader works but recovery is no longer listed there. phone has been rooted with custom recovery for a long time, flashed many roms... kind of out of the blue issue. think hboot version is 1.12...
Therr have been a few issues with the latest twrp, not like this from what ive read tho. Try flashing an earlier version. Ive been running 2.3.3.0 for quite some time with no issues at all. Worth a shot.
*Information IS the most dangerous weapon of all*
When you reboot to the bootloader screen, what happens when you select the bootloader option? Does the recovery option appear, or what happens?

This is a bad recommendation if you are on the latest firmware. You won't be able to use this twrp version. Download quickboot from the app store and use this to enter recovery if you can't get into it the traditional method.

That is usually a kernel issue.
I would suggest using flash image GUI, and flashing a kernel, I suggest mirage.

It works, don't know why it doesn't for you.
Other things you can try is flash boot.IMG through fastboot
Or using 4ext make sure smartflash is enabled and do a fresh install of your rom
Also you can flash some kernels through recovery
