(fixed)Factory replacement EVO LTE fails to install CM10 - Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE

Strange..I've obtained root via HTC unlocker, followed by installing Meanbean 3.09 which has been running great. Today I wanted to try the carbon Rom. Flashed the carbon Ron and gapps, rebooted and the phone hangs at the HTC screen..I waited several minutes before forcing a reboot which still hangs. I tried flashing with latest CM10, which gave the same results. I was able to restore my last nandroid of meanbean. Has anyone experienced this? My last evo LTE (bought on release day) did not present this problem.
I called Sprint again today(04/24/13), this time they "refreshed" from their end, my data, messaging and phone connections. This fixed the sms issue. Hope this helps someone.

Unless you are on Hboot 1.12 or S-off you need to install the kernel separately.

Read the thread "don't panic" stickied in Q&A. It explains everything simply

Got it..thanks for the replies. I'm s-off running meanbean..my only complaint is that sms is broken. I've updated prl, flashed latest radio firmware, ##72786#, all to no avail.

A lot of members are confused about the difference between unlocked and S-OFF I'm not trying to sound like an a$$ but I have seen to many members tell me I'm S-Off only to find out they were not they thought unlocking the bootloader made them S-OFF. As you stated it's a factory replacement that's why I'm saying this.
Unlocked = HtcDev
S-OFF = DirtyRacun or FacePalm

No worries..I ran the dirt racuun last night successfully...well other than the broken sms issue.

You might need to call Sprint and have them re-provision your phone it is a side effect of going s-off on some devices

I spoke with Sprint last night, went thru a couple troubleshooting steps. I mentioned to them that I tried the ##72786# to no avail. Theyre were unable to help me. I might tri to call back and speak with a different CSO

Try using gosms to "kick start" your messaging. Its worked for me in the past

[Q]friends revolutionary failed, but has s-off?

Hi, my friends revolutionary failed three times, kept saying it lost communication with phone or something in the middle of the process. It only restarted the bootloadwr like 2 times instead of the three or four times it normally does.
The weird thing is that his bootloader says revolutionary and s-off now.... He was able to flash teamwin recovery as well.
Is he all good to go or will he run into problems later? I have never heard of this happening and am pretty baffled by it.

If he has S-OFF and is able to flash a custom recovery, then it means he should be set to go.

Yea, I haven't seen anyone report that happening. I would guess that if it says revolutionary and is S-off, then it should be good to go. Especially if he has already successfully flashed a recovery.
Thanks guys. The only thing I found weird is that he flashed synergy ROM and does not have crt animations. So I wasn't sure if that was somehow related... I know probably a dumb thing to think, but.I find it so bizzare that he even got s-off to begin with.

Same thing happened to my other EVO 3D, but alas, it is S-OFF, twrped, and custom ROMed

to RUU or not RUU is the question.

Here's the situation, my phone is running great on SuperLTE or any other Sense rom. Excellent battery, no signal problems, no freezing, just a reliable piece of technology. The problem comes in when I try to run anything other than a stock style rom.
When I flash cm10, everything works good, except for sporadic mms sending and receiving. If I flash any of the miui builds I have a messaging LOS after a reboot that my phone can not recover from and a full wipe is required.
I have tried reflashing radios, prl and profile updates. Tried doing hands free activations. About the only thing I have not tried is running the RUU. Would this make any difference? I'm s-off with hboot 1.12, 1.12.11.0809 radio. With the JB update dropping any day should I just wait for the new firmware and try that first.
Any tips or suggestions are greatly appreciated. Thanks

I would read through the OP for CM10 and see if anybody else has had the same issues. If Sense-based ROM's work fine for you, I'd be inclined to say it's CM10, not your phone. Also, if and when JB drops, I'd wait for a rooted version from one of the devs, as opposed to losing root and potentially other issues.

Updating to hboot 1.19 could be worth a try. Its not like u have something to lose now that dirtyracoon is around..its very easy to run

This just drives me crazy. I know that every one of our phones are different, but many people don't have these problems. Makes a guy wonder what is different or messed up with mine.

HTC EVO 3D Wont root cm10 or aokp

Okay. So here is my dilemma. I have tried to root this phone for at least a year. But recently i was able to do it. I unlocked my phone and put a working recovery on it! 4ext! But then the problems began. I tried to install ROms like Aokp or Cm10.1 but they would load up to the startup animation then go into a boot loop. For at least 6 other roms this happened aswell. I then read up on some articles and think that maybe this is because of my hboot. It is hboot 1.5 and not many roms work with this. I tried to flash AnthraX-htcleak-rls1.zip kernel since many articles said it would fix the problem but it did not help. PLEASE Can someone help me ! I need cm10 or aokp! BTW this is a HTC evo 3d Gsm (rogers) hboot 1.5.
You need to S-OFF

There are two ways that i know of from htcevohacks site to do s-off, only the wire trick worked for me. Maybe the other way can work for you. I did the wire trick once and succeed but i watched the video 2-3 times before performing it.

Evo V stock ROM

I am giving this phone to my friend, and he needs to activate it on his account. It doesn't work doing it on the rom that I have. So I just need a link to the stock rom that actually works. All the links I have found are dead. My device is S-OFF. Thanks in advance!
Its not pure stock, but you can activate and update prl and profile

Gah! It's stuck at the boot screen. I realized after that my battery is low though. Also I'm using EXT 1.0.0.5 RC 3, and RC 5 is out so I'm going to charge my battery, and update my recovery. Perhaps then it will actually boot haha.
That ROMs been around for a while, so an old recovery should work fine. The ROM also boots any hboot

I updated 4EXT, and I still am getting stuck on boot. I have wiped everything and tried installing multiple times. If it works on any HBOOT then I don't know what my problem is. Last I had on it was PAC Rom 4.3.
I'll keep messing around and try to get it to work. I'm not new to flashing roms by any means, but HTC devices are always so finicky.
You could try flashing boot.img through fastboot.
Check md5 to ensure a good download

Thank you! I don't know why I didn't think of that. It is actually working now. I appreciate you working with me on this issue. Now I can get it activated and switched back to PAC. My friend thanks you as well.

No Service after CM10 (and back to stock)

Hi All, Yesterday I was trying to have my old backup Rezound into CM10 to replace a broken S3. I followed the thread http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2113140 to flash my Unlocked and S-On to CM10 but after all the steps (see Q&A How to flash on S-On) everything seemed to be working ok but I have no service at all. Then I decided to move to TACHYON following the details on http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2431552 but again, no service at all. Today I decided to do a downgrade to Stock via RUU (http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2509770), I even got S-Off to follow step by step of that thread, however after all the efforts, still no service. The first time I botted after all the steps in that thread, I could see 3G for a few seconds but then everything went off and no service (I see 1 bar in my signal from time to time, but can't even make a call).
Any ideas on how to find out what the issue is and how to solve it? Right now I', S-Off, Re-Locked and with the latest RUU
So here's the new finding: I changed mobile network to just CDMA and now I could get 3G and service (good news), however if I go back to LTE/CDMA I never get to 4G. Still researching

It is weird, because I got it from Verizon yesterday (my S3 broke so I went to activet this one) and it was working ok until I flashed CM10. I won't bother to go back to verizon cause I'm getting a new phone in the next week or so, however I wish I could have 4G this few days.

I'm S-Off, I was S-on with CM10 and had to do an S-Off to go back to stock. Not sure if it is possible to go back to S-On? could that fix it?

you can but will not fix it and is complicated to do...what version of cm10 are you on...may just be the build as certain cm10 builds had the issue
