I was running the Fresh rom for nearly a year and was totally happy with it. I now have a new evo because of a screen failure. I rooted and S-offed it with dirtyracun and flashed rage. I still pretty much hate everything about JB and want my Fresh back. I have flashed the 2.13.651.1 firmware and tried to install the rom and get a false boot after step 2 of 6. I then have to boot into bootloader and reinstall the above rom again. Is there anything I can do to go back?
Anyone?
Are you s-off or s-on?
You might need to fastboot the boot.img... Did you Ruu or just used captain's firmware bits to update to 2.13 firmware?

Shows the HTC boot screen (before it's actually installed the rom) and will sit there as long as I let it. I have to force reboot into bootloader and recover previous rom.

Boot into your bootloader and list the info in the top left corner of the screen. First five lines will do.

No problem. Have you verified MD5 on the download to make sure the download wasn't bad? Also, have you tried flashing a different ICS ROM? I can't think of any reason why you would be having these issues, other than not wiping correctly in recovery (system wipe, flash ROM & reboot).

My bad, I thought from the way were talking that you had reverted to ICS. Try this. Download the ROM again and verify MD5. Make a backup of your current setup, then do a system wipe in recovery, flash the newly-downloaded ROM, and reboot.

Sadly I am on hold with sprint customer service over an unrelated matter so It'll have to be in a few minutes. LOL
How do I verify the MD5? Do I need to flash the RUU again? I'm not a newbie, but I forget it all after I do it. LOL

Here's the version I've been using since I got the phone (2.2.2.0), has worked great for ICS and JB alike. Just rename this file to PJ75IMG.zip and put on the root of your external sd card, then reboot into the bootloader and it will install automatically. Remember to remove it afterwards or it will try to install again next time you enter the bootloader.

So I just took the OTA from Sprint the other day, re-unlocked the HTCDEV way, and tried flashing a ROM, but kept getting bootloops. I think it has something to do with the fact that the ROM had a 2.17 base and now I have the 2.89 base. Is there any way to either revert back to 2.17 or am I kinda stuck where I'm at. Help please
Downgrade your bootloader using unknownforce's method. I had the same issue and it worked for me. I'm now back on 1.4 S-OFF instead of 1.58 Unlocked. Its very easy to do, and it negates the need for HTCDEV Unlock method.. just to be clear, I don't believe you can flash anything lower than what you currently have when it comes to firmware especially when you are S-ON since you cant write to those particular partitions where the kernel hboot etc etc are located.

Will that give me the ability to flash the old 2.17 fw?
Sent from my PG86100 using xda app-developers app
IDK why you want to revert a previous and worse FW than actual. Why not flash a 2.89 Based ROM and problem gone? Just wait some days until devs make compatible the roms with latest base.
I have a 2.89 rom right now, but I've always loved certain aspects of Sense 3 and Sense 3.5 and I want to be able to try different roms to find the one I'm satisfied with, and since there's only 3 2.89 roms right now, all of them S3.6 I want to be able to go back to previous versions because S3.6 isn't my cup of tea
Sent from my PG86100 using xda app-developers app
If you wanted that only you had to do was run 2.17 RUU and after that just Unlock it again and root. With 4ext after you ran the full RUU and unlocked with HTC Dev you can run GB and ICS Roms.
I tried that, the bootloader version doesn't work with the RUU
Sent from my PG86100 using xda app-developers app
Yes i know that, I was saying before you upgraded to 2.89 FW and as far as i know there is no way to go back or run something made on a previous version for the base.
I kinda figured, I'm probably just gonna wait for the RUU for 2.89 comes out that way I can relock, run the ruu to get rid of the security warning, and downgrade to 1.40 and get s-off that way

Like I said, I did not try the wire trick LOL I prefer Unknown's simply because it was the only one available when I tried it. Phone's have a mind of their own IMHO LOL Well what you will need is the PG86IMG.zip for THAT particular part, then the 1.13 .exe file (which you can find anywhere!) thats the key part. Why do you think you need the RUU for 2.89? you can find the PG86IMG.zip file somewhere in the Dev section. replace the 2.17 zip file that most of us used to do it for the 2.89 .zip file and you're golden! As long as you can put it into EMMC recover mode, which you should be able to do so with the full ROM.zip file found in the Dev Section, just substitute 2.89 for 2.17 hope that helps man
Well from what I read, you need to flash the stock, unrooted OHHHHH wait just had an epiphany, I think I know what to do now, the only reason I thought you need the ruu was because in the video that shows you the bricking process, he said you need to run the ruu to remove the security flag so the pg86100.zip p****s

This 2.89 crap is giving me a run for my money, I got a replacement phone, Totally unrooted of course
So my dumb a** accept the OTA, and now I'm hboot 1.58, SO, I figured I'd try to htc unlock and all that jazz, Which worked all up until install superuser.
CWM recovery would say installation complete but when I used Rootchecker or tried to use a root app just to try and get the prompt to see if I was rooted it was concluded that I wasn't, I Flashed SU 2.3.6.3 signed many many times hoping it would stick, But it didn't. So I got ballzy and tried to flash a (rooted) rom thinking that maybe it would go thourgh, But it didn't, So now I'm stuck on a splashscreen innevitably.
I'm about to try to flash meanrom with the new 2.89 base and maybe that'll boot, It's taking forever to download though, Anyone have some suggestions?? in case this rom doesn't work??
I feel like I need HTC to release the 2.89 RUU and I'll be gravy, Is this my only hope though??

The only difference is you have to flash the boot.img file either before or after you flash the zip, and you have to do that via the gui program in apps or whatever, or via fastboot.

You can't flash stuff in fastboot with a locked bootloader with the stock hboot, and s-off relocks the bootloader.
So you have to flash a hacked hboot.
Flashing via ph98img, however, still works.

I tried using the methods given on unlimited.io. I even used a livecd for Ubuntu (but couldn't do anything in terminal). However, using everything in windows worked, minus the rabiesshot.exe file.
I somehow managed to unlock my bootloader and flash TWRP, but can't do anything else, ie; Roms will flash but never boot.
Is there maybe something I overlooked?

Take a look at the link below. I think it will shed some light on your issue.
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2256478
Most likely your issue is caused by the fact that you're S-on. On Hboot's 1.15 & newer you have to flash the kernel separately from the ROM, otherwise it won't boot. Many Sense ROM's include a S-on kernel installer to facilitate ROM flashing. Once you've obtained S-off, this isn't an issue.
Also, instead of Dirty Racun, give Facepalm a try-it's Windows friendly.

I tried using Facepalm, but I don't have superCID so I can't go through the rest of the process, I tried using the moonshine application as well but that didn't work either.
I feel like I've either completely overlooked something, or just giving it all way too much thought
Moonshine won't work unless you're on Hboot 2.09/baseband 1.12.11.1210. You have to use Facepalm or Dirty Racun otherwise. I personally have never used Facepalm, but I hear it's quick and easy. Perhaps head over to the Facepalm thread for more help. I think they also have IRC, too.

Looking at Facepalm, you must be rooted and have superCID.
I've actually been unable to even obtain root.
There is however a new system update. Should I try updating that and then running moonshine?

If you're bone-stock, sure, why not? Keep in mind your bootloader has to be unlocked, which may be the reason you're having issues with Facepalm to begin with. You cannot root if you can't unlock your bootloader.

My bootloader is unlocked. Which is why I'm confused as to how all 3 methods (facepalm, dirtyracun, and moonshine) don't work.

I wouldn't try to update, then. Do you have TWRP installed? If so, are you using a custom ROM?

Yes I have TWRP installed. No custom rom, I'm entirely stock. I tried to flash a rom a few days ago when I did this, and it was stuck on the HTC screen for probably a good 45 minutes. So I booted into recovery and just recovered the backup I made

Remember the link from above that I shared? The issue is that you're S-on and you have to install the kernel separately from the ROM. Most Sense ROM's have an S-on kernel installer to facilitate ROM flashing. Try a ROM like MeanBean-just read the installation instructions so you don't have any issues getting it installed (you basically flash it twice instead of once. The first flash installs the ROM itself, and the second flash installs the kernel). Obviously once you're S-off this won't be an issue.
Also, you might hit up Bigdaddy619. I know that he recently helped somebody get S-off using Facepalm and I'm sure he can help you, too

Well, the only issue I'm running into now is changing to the superCID. My phone is now not detected by adb or fastboot.
I have the most currrent drivers again. It just says <Waiting for device>
Edit: I'm going to install the adb and fastboot onto my laptop and try those in a little while. See if it produces the same result.

You can use the link in my guide for ADB. You don't need the entire SDK. The most current driver is in another thread. I'll get the link and post it here in a minute.

Hello All,
I rooted my phone a long time ago and went from the stock rooted rom to MeanRom ICS. I then wanted to try other roms. I use TWRP 2.6 and tried everything to install a new rom. A friend suggested that I S-off my phone to see if that would work. I then tried Moonshine to S-off my phone. Now the phone wont boot at all. I can still get in the recovery and bootloader, but that's all I can do.
Here is my info for Bootloader:
Jewel PVT Ship S-on RL
HBOOT 1.19.0000
Radio 1.12.11.0809
OpenDSP v.29.1.0.45.0622
eMMC boot
Thanks in advanced for the help
First things first, welcome to XDA, and congrats on your first post/thread. Too bad that this is the reason for it.
On to more pressing matters...are you sure that you completed ALL of the steps in order? Also, did you happen to read this thread?

I'm assuming that you did, but if you didn't, it will be a good help.

Do you have a backup you can restore from recovery? If so, install your backup to get you up and running again. Otherwise, you can mount USB storage in recovery and copy a ROM from your computer to your phone, then flash the ROM. Remember since you're S-on you'll need to install the kernel separately from the ROM. Most Sense ROM's like MeanBean and Viper have a kernel installer built in; just follow the OP for whatever ROM you wish to install.
Also, you must either use Facepalm or Dirty Racun to gain S-off on your phone. Moonshine only works for those on Hboot 2.09/software version 3.16.
You can find links to Dirty Racun & Facepalm in the link in my sig.

Tried the backup I made a few days ago. No joy. I think that my bootlaoders fragged. When I boot into the bootloader, green text for the bootloader saying theres no PJ75Diag.img, PJ75Diag.nbh, and or PJ75.Diag.zip.
Sorry gang for bugging you guys like this. I'm a noob when it comes to this stuff. Thanks again for the help.

All that green text means is that the bootloader is looking for a PJ75IMG file on your external SD card. There isn't one normally there unless you're updating firmware. It's normal.
What ROM's have you tried to flash?

I load the backup, but the screen goes black after the initial HTC boot screen. I don't know what's going on.
I've tried CM 10.1 Nightly, Ubuntu touch WIP, and a few others. Everything seems to do just fine while installing, and then I reboot to a boot loop or staring at the HTC boot screen for a while.
When I rooted my phone, I went from CM 9 to MeanRom. After I went to MeanRom it acted kind of funky. I've not been successful at loading any new roms after that. I think I forced something that the phone didn't like onto it and now its stuck with it.
Try flashing MeanBean. Make sure you wipe properly before you flash it.

Should I go for the newest one? (3.09 or and older version)
The latest version should be just fine. The rom version doesn't change much aside from the fact that 3.09 has the latest changes and bug fixes.

In addition, make sure you follow Mikey's instructions on flashing the ROM since you're S-on for the time being. His ROM has a kernel installer that requires an extra step to install the kernel separately from the ROM on phones that are S-on.

Use Facepalm. It's Windows friendly. I think Bigdaddy619 or another user even has everything packaged up nice & neat so it's ready to run. I've personally never used it but I hear it's quick & painless. Make sure you Nandroid your current setup before you get started.

Ubuntu is packaged in a live distro, you don't have to install anything.

SuperCID for HTC Evo 4G LTE:
Code:
adb shell
su
echo -ne "22222222" | dd of=/dev/block/mmcblk0p5 bs=1 seek=20
After you do this start the other commands
Just take your time do one at a time and read what it says in the cmd window
Sorry to bother you guys again, but it says device not found when I enter adb reboot bootloader. Am I doing something wrong? I do beleive I have all the drivers. Sorry for being a pain, still learning about this stuff.
