so my Evo Lte is pretty maxxed out without having s-off. But i can only get roms that are at least 500mb to work on my phone, anything else it just does a boot loop or stays at the htc start screen. what am i missing?

Are you flashing the boot img in fastboot before installing in recovery? Most sense roms are over 500mb and have the same kernel so it boots up fine without flashing the boot img before hand. Aosp roms will require you to flash the boot img before hand if you're s-on

You really should give more thought and a better answer to what bobarune asked you... he's pointing you in the correct direction, but you're still spinning in circles.
Thanks to the both of you. I had a huge brain fart.

How do I flash the boot img, I haven't messed with my phone in a while and can't remember for the life of me.

Use fastboot flash boot boot.IMG, I believe. Or use flashimageGUI from the market. There are tutorials in the sticky threads

^This. You will need to put the boot.img in your ADB tools folder on your computer, put the phone in fastboot USB mode and use the command 'fastboot flash boot boot.img' to flash the kernel to your phone. A better solution is to get S-off so you don't have to mess with flashing the kernel separately .

Agreed. Best thing to do is get S-OFF! :good: :good: :good:
S-OFF is cake now. No reason NOT to do it. It will make all of this EASIER for you. Just up and do it.
You have two possible methods to do this: DirtyRacun or Facepalm. The latter can be done in five minutes.
You'll thank yourself later.

From the thread I linked previously -
"You can also come by irc for support or just to say thanks: #FacePalm http://chat.andirc.net:8080/?channels=facepalm"
I know it can be scary, but you have to read the forum(s) and/or watch the video(s). Since you took the trouble to register on this site, don't rush and take the time to learn and understand by reading, reading, and more reading. It's not an overnight thing, but it does come eventually. It took me 6 months before I began to have a decent understanding of what I was doing with my first PC...
No offense, but we can't hold your hand as you cross the street. You have to take those first steps yourself. Read carefully, make notes that YOU will understand a day later... but you must take the responsibility for what happens to your phone.
Can you tell I'm a parent? :silly:

Trust me, after getting S-Off, flashing a recovery/hboot is the least of your worries. Generally, it will flash j-bear hboot so you're good. As for recovery, you do need to flash one.
Correct me if i'm wrong though.
I figured cuz I'm trying to do his steps n I was just wandering if it kinda starting fresh again u know after s-off get recovery ,root it , n go from there n the program doesn't come with an hboot so imma use a ph185.img n then flash 4ext

You shouldn't have to flash one, but once the process is complete, try rebooting into recovery to see if your custom recovery is still there, it usually is.

Your not s-off, and judging from the fact you can't boot cm, your not on hboot 1.12. Check out http://unlimited.io/dirtyracun.htm this will allow you to s-off and not have to worry about flashing the boot.img through fastboot.
I used regaw method of achieving root and it does s-off also, and like I said cm10 goes into bootloop

regaw_leinad's tool only unlocks your bootloader, through the method provided by HTC. You do not achieve s-off though that. If you boot into your bootloader, you will see s-on, the next line below where it says unlocked.

Personally, your much better off actually going with dirtyracun. If your s-off all you have to do is flash the rom.zip. If you dont wanna go that route, you need adb set up. After you have adb set up, just cd to what ever directory you extracted the boot.img out of the rom to, and type fastboot flash boot boot.img
sorry, I'm not gunna spoon feed ya through the process, but atleast it sends you in the right direction

Hey people. I'm having a hard time flashing roms on my 4GLTE. Ill wipe, factory reset and wipe the cache but when I install the Rom it doesn't do anything. I've only been able to flash 2 roms the stock with goodies rom and the viper rom. And ideas on what's going on or help? Thanks
Sent from my EVO using xda app-developers app
Follow the tutorials under General and start with posting details such as current specs, SON, SOFF, Hboot etc., then which ROMs you have tried and steps you have done to attempt installing them.
The more details you give the more XDA can help.
Please give us some more information. Are you s-off? Are you on the most recent firmware? Have you updated your touch panel driver? What do you mean by "nothing happens"? Are you getting boot loops or is the phone not booting at all or is the touch panel unresponsive?

Sorry I'm on S-On I do have the latest hboot. I've pretty much tried every updated Rom in the forum. It will either 1, stay on the HTC screen, 2 it will boot loop or 3 ill just have a black screen where ill have to restart back into recovery and go back to my previous backup. I have the Viper Rom right now. I can try to attach a screen shot of the roms I've downloaded and all of them gave me 1 of those 3 problems except viper and the stock with goodies Rom

Being that you are s-on you have to flash the kernel/boot.img first use flash image gui from the playstore or fastboot flash the kernel.
I suggest getting s-off it will save you so many headaches

Some ROMs (like Viper and MeanBean) include a kernel installer for S-on. For those that don't you'll need to follow bigdaddy's advice above.

If it goes into a boot loop it probably means you are son. You will need a pc to fast boot the boot.img.

If your S-on, you need to flash the boot.img. By going to fastboot and flash it there right after you install your rom. All roms have a boot.img in the zip folder.
Sent from my kick ass EVO using Tapatalk 2
Try downgrading twrp thru bootloader the version available to flash it is 2.3.1, and it's on the twrp website then try to flash any other rom, also you can download the script Updater and place it in the Rom zip, instructions also in the twrp website... Good luck

You can use an app called Flash Image GUI from the Play Store to flash the kernel, assuming you can get your phone to boot into your current ROM. What specific problem are you having flashing the kernel with fastboot?
Your other solution is to get S-off, which is preferable

You NEED to S-OFF.
Please listen to delakit. As long as you have the 3.16 TP you will ONLY be able to use 3.16 based sense ROMs. NO OTHERS. You HAVE to downgrade your touch panel, which can only be done if S-off.
(Side note, this is what makes me not wanna wait for HTC One price to drop. You end up with updated FW/SW that is always more difficult to S-off, if supported AT ALL).
