I have had my HTC EVO LTE 4g rooted for almost a year with the following method...
http://forums.androidcentral.com/ht...s/192777-evo-4g-lte-1-22-651-3-root-easy.html
Last night I asked a question in the Sprint forum why Nascar APP would not go past the "Select your favorite driver..." Page.
Have you updated the data profile and PRL? If not, please do so. May I have your zip and cross streets? I am here for you.
Thank You

After performing the request (Update PRL & Profile) I get "Data Call Failure... Error code 97" I cannot access mobile data now. Will not connect.
I recently got an Airave 2 but this problem happens both at home and parked next to a Sprint tower.
Sprint tech tells me that because it's rooted none of their network reset codes will work (Probably a big mistake asking them for help!) :crying:
I found no answer searching this forum from anyone having this problem.
I also cannot do a factory reset. When I try to select it I get the Teamwin menu.
Can someone explain to me what I did and what I need to do? (Sorry I am not a cell phone nerd... All I wanted was to be able to run Apps that require root....)
I am still at....

I'd update to a job ROM. You are a couple ota's behind.
Unlock your bootloader and flash one of the rooted Stock jelly Bean ROMs. Ive never had a problem provisioning with a rooted phone with sprint.

I unlocked last year with the HTCDev unlock file. That's how I was able to root...
I flashed...
openrecovery-twrp-2.3.3.0-jewel.img
CWM-SuperSU-v0.87.zip
So did I basically stay stock w/root?
What step should I do now? I need specifics please...

The stickies in this forum will help with specifics. If you s- off I would check in the firmware thread to see of you need to update the firmware incrementally or not.

Nobody seems to be reading what I'm asking or just blasting out an answer with no specifics. The only "ROM" that I could find to download under the Sprint HTC EVO LTE 4g turns out to be HTC ONE and has put my phone into a boot loop.
Could someone PLEEEAAASE provide a link to a ROM that will work? Is this really to hard of a question?

Ok, now try a wipe and install the viper rom.
I Dont think any ROM is gonna be what you need. If you have data call failure it's gonna be a provisioning issue and you will probably need to walk thru some epst codes with a sprint tech. Do not extract ROM. Get a fairly stock ROM to boot. If S-on will need to fastboot flash boot.IMG after flashing ROM. Once up and booted, try a different sprint tech. As long as you get a ROM with epst (pretty much any sense ROM), it doesn't matter if you have root, they'll be able to help. Maybe just don't mention you have root.

When you clicked on the exe file it automaticly loads the img file, You dont have to look for one. You need to just use the file that loads automatic.

All -
My beloved 3D is telling me there's a security update being pushed by Sprint. I am rooted but with an as yet untouched (stock) ROM. I obviously don't want to lose root - will allowing this update remove root (I've had that issue with past phones). I backed out of the update but the stupid notification won't go away so if it comes to pass that I should *not* allow the update, I need to figure out how to get rid of that blasted icon.
Thanks as always
If you are on hboot 1.50 just flash stock recovery and then take the update...you will not lose root...when done, flash back to wutever recovery you were using before and you're all done....

If you could see me now, you'd see eyes glossed over, deer in the headlights look. Yes, I'm on 1.50... To flash the stock recovery I'm guessing I just go into recovery, apply update from zip, and go, correct? Where can I find the stock recovery at? Then, when done, if I have a stock recovery I don't know how to put shooter xc back on... Cripes I'm chasin my tail...
Wut u need to do is download the 3 files i have attached here for u.Make sure to extract the 2 zip files.
1.Install flash image gui like any other apk and open.
2.Click on Recovery Image then browse to where ever the stock recovery is on your sd card and select it and then click flash.
3.You should now have stock recovery on ur evo so just proceed to install the update. If all goes good you should now be updated.
4.If you want to put cwm as your recovery again just open flash image gui and repeat step 2 but this time just browse to cwm on your sd card and flash that.
You should be all set know.

Luda305,
Is this proven and can you run a rom that isn't updated?
Thank you in advance!
Yes this is proven as I did this myself. Only works if your on the stock rom of your phone. If you mean can you flash a rom that is not updated after you do this the answer is yes. The radio will stay updated no matter what rom you flash since we are on hboot 1.50 and can't flash radios. Hope this answers your question.

All who like flash image GUI please get the paid version to support the developer its only a dollar. Joey Krim is a lifesaver for those of us on hboot 1.5.

Did anyone on hboot 1.4 lose s-off or get a upgraded hboot version when excepting the OTA update?
Ok, quick question. Flashed stock recovery, but I cannot update via the HTC updater.
So I downloaded the update in zip format.
How do I install from the Zip?? with stock recovery on????

You can't. You need a custom recovery. Unless your s-off and you flash it threw the bootloader.

Also - as far as FlashImageGUI, I downloaded (and thus paid .99 for) my copy from the market. I'm a firm believer in rewarding those who put the work in.
I can't get the update to work I used flashimagegui; flashed to stock recovery; went to HTC software update, hit check now, downloaded, hit install now; it goes into bootloader-type loading screen; gets about 1/5 of the way then displays an android software with a red triangle/exclamation point.
I suspect that if I can find this update in the form of a zip, I could just apply the update from CWM but I have no idea how to get the update in that form... Any help is greatly appreciated

Did you validate that the stock recovery worked by holding volume down and power and booting into recovery? Did you fastboot oem lock? I havent seen much success with people using the flash image GUI but i've seen around the forums that if you go into the custom recovery, flash the stockl recovery zip, flash the stock rom zip then then fastboot oem lock, it works.
Hello,
I've been all over google and this site for the last two days trying to find a way to get my Evo 3d work! I tried searching the forum and unfortunately i kept getting server errors So i figured I would make a new thread in the hopes of figuring this out!
What happened:
I went through the rooting process, and I went to flash a ROM on to the phone and it would not load pass the HTC screen. I had a ROM on there of the stock version of the Sprint Evo 3d, unfortunately it wasn't the proper version and it did not allow 4G and such. So i tried to place another ROM on to the SD Card and flash it over, and for some dumb reason, I deleted the version of the Stock Rom that atleast enabled me to get the phone to turn all the way on. All I'm able now is to boot up to recovery, but I can't figure out what ROM to download to place on the phone to get me back to square one!!!
Help please!!

Hi jerseybizzle, I can certainly try to help you but you have to help me first.
1. Are you doing a factory reset and wiping dalvik cache before flashing?
2. What hboot version do you have?
3. Is your phone s-on or s-off?
4. Which rom did you try to flash that wouldn't boot?

If it was an ics Rom and you are having bootloops, it is most likely because you are s-on. I recommend getting s-off. The wire trick is easy to do, but you need to be careful.

Did you flash the rom through fastboot? If you just booted into your recovery and attempted to flash the ICS version of that rom coming from GB it won't work since you still have S-ON and that doesn't let you flash certain things like kernels. You can still flash roms but you have to take a couple extra steps or achieve S-OFF.
To get your phone working again...
If you were just coming from a stock rooted rom before attempting to flash a new rom, simply download a stock rooted rom from the dev section, put it on your SD card, boot into recovery, wipe and reflash. Your phone should then boot up again.

I'm guessing it was the ics version of vipermod, and since you're s-on your boot image didn't flash. So you're trying to boot an ics rom with a gingerbread kernel.
If you want to use an ics rom, you have a few choices. My favorite... Put a recovery image in the folder on your computer that has fastboot in it. Put the phone in fastboot mode and type in the command window, fastboot boot recovery.img, make sure that you name the recovery image on your comp. to "recovery.img". It should boot to recovery and you can flash away.
Something that's easier is to use 4ext recovery smart flash. I'm sure it works but I've never used it.
If you want to get back to your stock rom unrooted rom you could run an ruu.
Also, take coals advice and s-off that phone, you won't have nearly as many issues once you s-off, and you can use one of the splash screens in my Sig

Here's an idea, get flash image GUI, its free here at xda, google it. Then use it to flash the kernel from the stock rom that you have running and reboot. This should fix your WiFi. Let me know if I'm not being clear enough.

So, it sounds like wifi turns on just fine, you just get the error when attempting to connect to a network?
Have you tried resetting your router and rebooting your phone? Maybe remove that network from your saved preferences and resign in.

If the app that was suggested to didn't do the trick, hit the stickies in the dev section on how to flash a rom with hboot 1.5 S-ON. I recommend the fastboot method, however, if you're so inclined, you can also go the route of getting S-OFF.
Most likely, some problems occurred when you tried to flash that ROM before and broke your wifi. So, if I were you, I'd grab a ROM (that viper ics should be fine if you still got it) and flash it through fastboot using a guide in the dev section. Be sure to read and understand the guide before attempting it.
The guide would be something like this...
1. Install the appropriate drivers and place a recovery on your PC.
2. Boot into your boot loader, select fast boot, and connect your device to your PC via USB.
3. Open a command prompt on your computer, switch to the directory containing drivers/recovery image
4. Type fastboot boot thenameofyourrecovery.img
5. Install the rom as you otherwise normally would using your phone, wiping data, clearing caches, installing zip.
NOTE: The above is not a guide, just an illustration of the guide you're looking for in the dev section.
Flashing a rom by this method allows you to flash roms with non stock kernels, so you can pretty much flash any rom made for your phone. This is the method I have used since day 1 and have never experienced any problems. You may also want to look into getting S-OFF, but I can't say much about that because I haven't done it myself (being content flashing through fastboot).
Hope this helps.

Which cm rom exactly? I thought the camera works with all the cm roms. It sounds like you still have kernel issues, and until you figure out how to flash a kernel or boot image, you'll always have these types of issues, bootloop, broken WiFi/camera. I know that the instructions that flonker gave you are intimidating but after you've done it once you'll see how simple it is.
One limitation of HTC dev unlocking is that you can't write to the boot partition from recovery, the kernel resides in the boot partition. You can, however, write to boot from within the android system. That's why flash image GUI is so handy for people with s-on and HTC dev unlocked. Just open the app, find the rom you'd like to flash and select it, the GUI will extract the kernel from the rom zip and flash it. Then you just boot into recovery and flash the same rom that you selected with the GUI. It'll flash everything but the boot image, but that's ok because you already flashed the kernel with flash image GUI. Make sure you do a factory reset and wipe the dalvik cache.
When I was s-on I always chose fastbooting to recovery, when you do that it actually loads the recovery onto the boot partition and gives you permission to write to boot, so its like flashing should be. Just wipe, flash, enjoy.
Hope this helps.

One limitation of HTC dev unlocking is that you can't write to the boot partition from recovery, the kernel resides in the boot partition. You can, however, write to boot from within the android system. That's why flash image GUI is so handy for people with s-on and HTC dev unlocked. Just open the app, find the rom you'd like to flash and select it, the GUI will extract the kernel from the rom zip and flash it. Then you just boot into recovery and flash the same rom that you selected with the GUI. It'll flash everything but the boot image, but that's ok because you already flashed the kernel with flash image GUI. Make sure you do a factory reset and wipe the dalvik cache.
When I was s-on I always chose fastbooting to recovery, when you do that it actually loads the recovery onto the boot partition and gives you permission to write to boot, so its like flashing should be. Just wipe, flash, enjoy.
Hope this helps.

I have been flashing roms and kernels and such for awhile on several different phones and literally almost everything you said makes no sense and that goes for the other guy 2 posts above yours. WTF is flash image GUI? Is that an app, you never even say.
The other guy is telling him to flash a rom but describes to him how to flash a recovery image to his phone...have you guys ever done this before or are you just making stuff up as you go?

Yes I do, I was looking for information and I read the entire thread. Just because they posted it a year ago doesn't make the info any less wrong.
I've asked for help in the threads posted about the OTA update and I cannot get the help I need. I've seen people post similar questions that I have and they are largely ignored. I had to stay away from the forums because I was getting so damn angry.
I have root and I have S-Off. I have not flashed any ROMs on this phone. I want to apply the OTA update but I do not know how to do that.
There's mentions of flashing firmware, radios, PRIs, PRLs, ROMs, Deoxed, Oxeded, hboot, bootloader, recovery, TWRP, etc. All of that across multiple threads does not compute well in my head.
I've read a lot and I am not sure what to do. Can someone please help me out? I will be forever grateful. I could send you a case for your phone for helping me. I promise I am not being lazy. I'm just not getting it.
If you're rooted and you have S-Off, you should have TWRP. First verify that by booting into the bootloader (Power + Vol Down) and going to Recovery.
Once in TWRP, do a backup. Backup everything. This way if something goes wrong you can restore your previous ROM.
Next download this: http://d-h.st/d2a
It's the firmware zip, courtesy of Haus. Rename the file to remove all of the stuff after PJ85IMG. Then put it on the root of your SD card and boot into the bootloader. It will scan for a zip and find it, and ask you if you want to update. This step is optional; you can flash new 1.22 ROMs without the new firmware.
After flashing that through bootloader, you can choose a 1.22 ROM that looks good to you, and download it. Boot back into TWRP, do a factory reset and wipe System, and then install the ROM. If you download it to your external SD card (in other words, an SD card you put in yourself), you'll have to mount it by going to Mounts and choosing external SD. That way you'll be able to access files on it.
To install the ROM after wiping, just hit Install from the main menu of TWRP and navigate to the location of the ROM zip you downloaded. Install it and reboot, and there you have it, you're on the new firmware and using a ROM with the new fixes in it!
The firmware zip is optional, but recommended. If you aren't comfortable flashing it, don't bother.

Thank you Sora! I am going to follow your advice this afternoon and will let you know how it goes.

This way will not cause you to lose any data, and installs the update on top of what you already have. Still recommend a backup in TWRP first, though

I would personally recommend staying away from that method. As a rooted user you should never accept an ota. Doing it that way might work this time, but in the future there's no guarantee you won't lose s-off and never be able to get it again

I know "never OTA" is your and some other people's mantra, but being able to do this is one of the benefits of S-off. I agree it is possible they could turn you back to S-ON in a future OTA (maybe...), but since it works for this current update, I don't think you should be dissuaded if you don't want to completely wipe your phone.

My man.
Exactly.
Just look at all of the people who show up on here going "Oh crap I took the OTA and now I can't get S-OFF"! The fact of the matter is, people don't check here before taking the OTA. If they look here and see that thread that says to just put on teh stock recovery and you're A-OK, thats what they'll do from then on.
When it happens, I'm just going to sit back and say "toldya so"... and let everyone else deal with the support. Until then, I'm going to keep preaching that you should never take an OTA if you are rooted or EVER thinking about rooting.
Sora, I looked at your instructions. I flashed ROMs before on my EVO 4G. That process I was comfortable with. Basically, the developer did all the work for me. I wanted to keep my phone stock for a while but I do want the updates.

It really comes down to this, if you're still having problems:
If you have recovery, just flash a ROM with the new base. Just like you'd do on your old Evo.

Ok, so I will have to flash a ROM. Do you think I can flash the deodexed version of this [ROM][STOCK] --- Stock Rooted 1.22.651.3 Odexed & DeOdexed (7/14/12)--- over my stock-from-Sprint setup?
I flashed TWRP. I'm going to update the firmware next with the file you pointed me to. I'm trying to find the info on clearing Google wallet.
...then the ROM.
Clearing GW data should say something about resetting it. It'll be in the app settings.
Seems like you've got it down now, I'm glad to say. You'll be able to flash that ROM without any issues.

Sora, how do you flash your ROMs? Do you use TWRP? or something like Goo Manager? I haven't used Goo Manager before, but I see it flashes ROMs.
I have the Evo 3d, and i flashed the meanrom ics. After i had flashed it wifi doesnt work, there is an error. I have the OTA update from sprint before i flashed it. I do not have s-off, but his thread says you do not need it. i have done a superwipe and then tryed to reflash it after i did the superwipe and still the same problem.
Did you flash the new firmware? Radios? Have you tried flashing another rom?
Yeah i did try flashing a new rom and its still the same problems, wifi doesnt work. If you know were i can find the legit stock rom ill try to download that but i cant seem to find it anywhere.

I think i have a solution for your problem it worked for me , By the way I used 4ext touch Recovery
in recovery when you are going to flash the new Rom make sure you select { wipe data/factory reset,,wipe cach ,, wipe dalvik cach } and most important select {format all partitions (except sdcard)
after all that you are ready to install the new Rom then Reboot the device and you shall not have any problems with your WiFi But Bluetooth still wont start or work

Unlocking the bootloader wipes the phone so any internal data I believe isn't there anymore. Reboot back to fastboot and try reflashing the recovery. Also HBOOT info would probably help. Just keep calm. It'll be okay.

if this was my phone i would be a lot calmer, but this is her only phone, and she uses it for business. the samsung rooting is a million times easier, and without a single problem. i have done dozens of them, and NEVER had any issues. i don't understand why htc makes you do the bootloaded, which is a monster process all to its own, and then puts you through so many trials and tribulations to complete the root. when i root a samsung, all the information is still thereso i assumed it would be the same on any android device. as you can imagine, i am bugging to lose her all her info.
ok, so i reflashed recovery using the cmd prompt, and it flashed ok. then i loaded supersu. no problem. but then when i try to load the stock htc rom, it says it can't find md5, and reloads into a white screen with green htc on it. that's it. it goes no further. anything you can tell me to help get this thing up and running?

Well since it was updated you need a rom that is built on the new layout. The link I have you is for a rom that should work fine for you. It is sense 5.5 and personally I love it. Hopefully your friend will too. Just dl and flash. Also you need a modified twrp recovery from Captain_Throwback.

i got so mad about the decrypt thing popping back up, that i went into wipe and did a full "format data". now the decrypt message is gone, but the phone will not recognize the internal sd card. the only place it shows up is in advanced wipe area, and i can wipe it individually, but in the other areas of the phone, it doesn't show up. for instannce, if i try to usb mount, there is no internal card, so it will not show anything. so how do i get this internal sd card back? i can't flash anything right now because it isn't recognized.
two other questions, should the int sd card be formatted in fat32 or exfat? and is the rom you gave me odexed or deodexed?
UPDATE: so i finally decided to use the root folder to flash the older twrp, and it worked. then i was able to see the internal folder again. so i tried to reload the supersu, and rom you suggested, but when it loaded up, it took me right back to the "decrypt storage" message. so i tried to reload the newer twrp, you suggested, and the int sd card is not recognized again. so i am guessing i have a lot of miss matched software on this phone, and maybe that is the reason i am getting this message. any idea how to determine exactly which ones are out of place? in the mean time, i googled the decrypt storage message, and many people have been through this also, but i haven't seen a fix. so i will go back to your friends site, and try the other twrp for now.
UPDATE2: i just decided to relock the bootloader, and ruu it back to original. i hope this works. i was able to relock the bootloader, and i am in the middle of ruu'ing it now.
UPDATE3: yeah, i've got it back up. so glad to get this thing running again. i wish i had of understood what you meant by ruu before, i would have saved myself a lot of grief.
the fact that, while setting things up for the first time, this phone will not let you skip accounts, and just get into your phone is crap. you should be able to set the accounts up at your whim. and even if you try to set a new account up with htc, the code the phone gives you, will not work on the htc site. even if you keep generating a new code on the phone, the site will not take it. what the hell is that? this entire experience with this phone makes me appreciate having a samsung much, much, much more than ever before. htc needs to get their head out of their ass, and stop making everything so difficult.
Based on a quick read on this thread, the problem appears to have been an incomplete update to the new layout. The HBOOT got updated, but the image doesn't appear to have been flushed again to update the data and system partitions fully, and then the ROM booted to ensure everything was initialized properly. That would be the way to fix it going forward.
Also, you can skip through all of the account setup stuff in the ROM - I'm not sure what you mean about that .
