What things will lead to a Perma brick on my EVO Lte?

Flashing a kernel and running out of battery would not be good.

I imagine that would leave the bootloader intact... I mean completely bricked.
I have never really seen one myself. Normally you can find a way to RUU it.
I know I bricked downgrading firmware. True brick. I think captain throwback has that issue remedied now. Actually he has it sorted for sure

What does the bootloader look like on it? I'm guessing it's locked but I haven't seen anyone say for sure one way or the other.

It looks like the same hboot as the leaked ruu so I take it the rom is the same too? If not then that means htc probably could have shipped it with an unlocked one but didn't.

8 days and counting, can't wait.
I spent a good 6 hours last night prepping my Evo 4G for trade in, unrooted it and installed the stock 3.70 RUU, which finally gave me the 4.22 OTA update as well. Had the "main too old, update failed" problem for the better part of 5 hours, solved it by re-doing the mtg-eng.img through adb, the 3.70 RUU went on just fine after that.

Nah it ships with 2.3.3. Kind of lame, but the big question is the bootloader in the 3vo encrypted.

darn.......it probably is like the htc sensations is but it will be unlocked with an ota or ruu most liekly
True, but it will nice if HTC did not encrypt the bootloader. If the bootloader is encrypted, it all comes down to HTC keeping their word.

I currently have the energy Rom on my amaze but I have to send it to htc to get a new one but I'm worried that they might not give me a new one since its rooted. Is there any way to unroot?

Awesome. Thank you all.
They WILL still be able to see that you unlocked the bootloader, there are 3 statuses that it can have
Locked (stock)
Unlocked
Relocked
Yours will need to be relocked to flash the PH85IMG.zip files, however, it will be obvious to them that you had it unlocked at one point. The big thing missing from the OP is the reason it needs to be sent back. If it's a hardware failure unrelated to you unlocking the bootloader or software changes you've done, you should be fine.
I have known people to send back rooted phones and been fine and got a replacement. Their theory was if no water/hardware damage, then why the hub-hub. I personally wouldn't try that myself, but some people test the waters. Thus far it had been fine.

So my brother got a limited edition red and black RAZR maxx so it looks like I will be here as well as the Rezound forums . I have never had a motor phone before so I might ask some questions. Any major differences from HTC phones?

Lots of differences, most of them for the worse. Welcome to the world of locked bootloaders, regional signatures, and easy bricking.
On the plus side, that kevlar back is still pretty *****in'.

So in your opinion it's fairly easy to brick a RAZR? I understand if you flash cdma rom but I have not seen anyone bricking it?

I'm guessing he means soft-bricking? It's pretty darn easy to do that though. Hard brick, not so much. I once wiped /system and accidentally turned off my phone. Still managed to restore it.
Anyway, welcome to the Razr community. Look around, get your bearings, and start flashing random stuff. My advice? Not everything can be found on xda. So try looking around in other forums and stuff.

I will thanks. Are there serious problems of you end up flashing a gsm rom to a cdma phone or if you flash back will they be fixed? I also thanks everyone for the awesome welcome to the forums
Also, I think phone manufacturer's have perpusly made it hard to brick phones. I know someone one the Rezound forums tried to before we had s-off and couldn't

The only way that would happen is if you dont read the rom thread. These roms are split out between cdma and gsm. I havent seen one that didnt specify which phone it was for.

If you are s-off do not take the update, there is a 50/50 chance you will loose it and could be weeks before there is a method to get s-off after the update.

who, the tech savy Kao?
I was wondering if someone would post this. Lots of people getting excited about the upgrade don't realize it may take a couple of days to get a good working Rom. Well, one that will not block or stop other things.
Ahh...the dreaded hboot scares. Will wait for a custom rom + a skimmed through firmware package.

Also, if the firmware files don't flash the first time, don't edit the contents of the .zip file and change the device code to make it flash. I bricked an EVO 4G LTE doing that last summer. This was the reason xHausx posted a warning to re-download the firmware files on a stock rooted ROM he uploaded, lol. Lesson learned!
Obvious is obvious....

Lets see...
Like the difference in s-off and unlocking the bootloader.
What s-off does.
What is hboot?
What is an RUU?
(Not a term but...) In case of an emergency how would I flash back to stock if I needed to? (Gonna miss Odin for that)
Those are the things I can think if off the top of my head.

Most of that is solved with a simple search. As for the back to stock thing we just got an ruu which is like a one click odin on the Samsung phones.

Unlocking the bootloader = able to flash custom recovery, roms, kernels.
S-Off = lets you flash all of the above, plus radios and downgrade hboot
hboot = underlying firmware of the device, without S-Off its not possible to downgrade this and you generally you want to mess with hboot as little as possible(or not at all) as there's a high potential for hard bricking your device if you do a command wrong.
RUU = basically an ODIN executable oh****button.
Most of the stuff is going to be the same across Android devices, however.
Thanks for the help. HTC seems confusing... Lol
