Sorry, I posted this thread in wrong location..
Hi folks,
this is my first post on XDA. I have a Sprint htc EVO 4G LTE phone which was running on JB.
Thought of root and flash with CM. So, first I unlocked the bootloader using htc dev and installed TWRP custom recovery and then rooted.
Then I flashed the stable CM 10 then flashed gapps which is compatible for CM 10 version. so far so good. oh, btw I did nandroid backup before flash and also wiped to factory reset, cache and Delvic cache.
After the flash i clicked on reboot system and I see the Cyanogenmod boot, but its stuck at that stage and I waited for more than an hour. No luck.
Thank god I did back up before this, otherwise not sure what I'm gonna do.
But, could someone tell me why it gets stuck at this point. I know some of you guys had this problem. I searched everywhere but didn't get help. I thought of posting this in android development forum, but as a newbie I can't do that.
Please help me out.
P.S: when I'm on boot screen (power button + vol down button) I see unlocked at the top but I also have TAMPERED in red color on top of that. Was this normal? or do you think that is causing the problem? and what should I do now?
If you're on Hboot 1.15+, you need to flash the kernel separately from the ROM if you're S-on. Click the link in my sig for further info.
The tampered warning at the top of the bootloader screen is normal.

I'm pretty sure I have 1.15+. I'm gonna try this today.
Thanks in advance.
BTW u mentioned stable cm 10 as in the stable release from get.cm? I recommend getting the new build via IRC as the get.cm version hasn't been updated in ages

You are right. I must flash the kernel and I did. guess what? It got flashed and after CM boot the next screen is language setup and my touchscreen is not responding at all...only the power and volume buttons are working..
I had a backup so thought of going back to it and I restored to it. It is not even booting up. My phone stays at htc quietly brilliant screen for long time and then splashing screen 2 times in a minute or so and then restarting automatically.
I have no clue what to do at this point.
I had Jellybam ROM saved on my sd card so I wiped my phone and flashed it. after rebooting it got stucked at htc boot screen.
I'm thinking may be the kernel doesn't support the Jellybam ROM. Is it?
How can I change the kernel?
How can I use my phone now?
does Jellybam requires separate kernel to flash it?
can you recommend any ROM's which includes their own kernel?
any help is greatly appreciated.

The stable download is an ancient version of CM. Circa 2012 ancient. IRC = Internet Relay Chat. There should be a sticky on this forum for how to setup and connect to IRC. Latest build can be found there.

If you're on the latest OTA (Hboot 2.09, baseband ending in 1210) you can only run ROM's based off the latest OTA (software version 3.16). This is due to an upgraded touch panel driver, which is why your touchscreen doesn't work. You can gain S-off and downgrade the driver so you can run AOSP ROM's, like CM.
Most Sense ROM's include a kernel installer to simplify the flashing process when S-on (MeanBean & ViperROM, to name a few). Just follow the instructions in the OP for whatever ROM you're wanting to flash.

Like I said, you can install a ROM based off software version 3.16. That will get you up and running. As far as S-off, you'll have to use Dirty Racun, which can be found in the link below.
http://unlimited.io/jewel.htm
After gaining S-off, head over to Captain Throwback's firmware thread in the development section. You can download the 3.15 touch panel driver there. The link to his thread is below.

Thanks @ FinZ28
I flashed MeanROM_3.09 and its working perfectly. Nothing wrong with it, except I felt like its not a custom ROM. I meant its nothing but htc sence with some extra. I was looking for ROM's which should be like pure google interface. ex. CM, clean ROM etc
I know I have to downgrade my firmware and S-off, but looks like my doors were closed. I'm a windows user and all the support was for Linux. (I decided to learn Linux ) I can get this done if I find any guide on doing S-off on windows.
Can you suggest any ROM's which will work on my device and which should look like pure google?
btw, I took your suggestion and tried installing ROM's based off 3.16. like JellyBam, cleanROM. JellyBam not even boot up and cleanROM having trouble with touchscreen. Not sure why.

Viper ROM has a "senseless" opción, when you flash it you can choose in the aroma installer this and it should remove most of sense or whatever is safe so you have the stability of sense plus some kind of pure google look by choosing nova or apex... It also has a kernel installer if you are s-on, a lot of customization and great support... Check it out here:

There is another option that was recently released for Windows users with the most current OTA for S-OFF called Moonshine. You can find it if memory serves me correctly in 'Android Development' in the EVO LTE forums here.

did you check the md5? did you made a nadroid of your meanbean setup? Team Venom has their own s-n kernel installer you can try to use it here is the link: http://www.androidfilehost.com/?fid=9390288116658472175

per OP in Viper Rom thread: Any User having issues with bootloops, please try Venom IMG Flasher to properly install the kernel. Choose the correct version above.
*This is currently for windows users only. It also includes TWRP recovery that you can flash if needed. Download the zip...extract...and run the .exe.

Finally I got it done and using Viper4G with Nova launcher.
What I did was booted into recovery again and choose custom installation. that's it. Not sure what was the issue before, but now its working.
But, I really want cyanogenmod 10 with 4.2.2. So my search is still open. will take a look at the moonshine.
You guys are rock..prompt and very quick responses..I wish I would have do root and participate in this forum years ago

Glad you got it fixed, try to get s-off using moonshine, as far as I know is windows friendly you just have to UNINSTALL HTC SYNC, and since you already rooted and unlocked I'm sure you have adb and fastboot in your computer and that's all you need! After that you should be able to downgrade your TP driver and use all the AOSP roms, man is great and now with Halo it's even better... Good Luck!

I just created the guide you need today.
If you want 3D to work you are going to have to go with a "de-Sensed" ROM that emulates AOSP. There are AOSP based ROM's that have working 4G but no 3D camera.

Yes. You wouldn't be rooted and would have the stock bootloader (hboot) and recovery, but if you want to run 100% stock that would be fine.
I suggest leaving it S-OFF though so if you change your mind it's easier to update those things.

ramjet, Thank you so very much. Your guide was spot on an up to date. i'm now on custom hboot, recovery, an running NegaLite-BluRom_AudioButter. Everythings working great thus far. Could not have done it so quickly an competently without your help.
Hello, my apologies if this problem has arisen in the past. however, after rigorously browsing the forums, I came up short.
When I install/ flash the jellybam rom or cm10.1 rom, the screen stops working except for in bootloader and twrp recovery. I heard you have to downgrade the touch panel, how do i do that?
I have;
-HBOOT 2.09
- build 3.19 and I belive everything else is up to date on the latest software.
I _think_ you need to update the touch panel drivers/firmware also, located here: http://themikmik.com/showthread.php...LE-Jewel-Radio-Collection&p=220556&viewfull=1
tp_SYN3202.img is the latest, but it says it will break touch screen in recovery and on non-stock roms if done incorrectly.
I would ask this question in captain_throwback's latest firmware thread before you install tp_SYN3202.img
I'm only pointing you in the right direction, I have NO experience with updating the touch panel .img - please ask someone who has dealt with this before you do ANYTHING (I just dont want you to break your evo!)

The newest touch panel firmware doesn't work with AOSP, AOKP, 3.15 based ROMs (or lower), or older recoveries..You need to revert to the old TP firmware before flashing any ROM not based on 3.16.

As far as I know all the files are located in Capt Throwback's firmware thread. You probably need S-Off to flash them though. The new 3.16 OTA updated the touchscreen's firmware. This new update is only good with the latest TWRP and 3.16 based roms..so to flash anything on the old base or AOSP you need the old touchscreen firmware. Hope that clears it up a little.

I seem to have the same problem.
I'm running the viper rom on my evo 4g. Was going to upgrade to the latest version and wanted to update firmware first.
I grabbed the latest twrp (4.2.1) installed that, rebooted.
I then grabbed the latest firmware from themikmik, installed that and rebooted.
And i then grabbed the tp_syn3202 update and installed that and rebooted
And now my touch screen does not respond to any touch input. I don't know what to do at this point since they only thing i can do is either force the phone to reboot, or go into hboot by holding down the volume down and camera keys. And all that does is ask me if i want to reinstall the tp update.
I don't know how to get into twrp to even try and install the latest rom assuming that would fix the issue.

You have to downgrade your touch panel driver to the 3.15 version. Check the thread below and go to the downloads link in the first post. The touch panel driver is installed the same way you upgrade firmware, through the bootloader.
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1704612
On the page with the downloads, the touch panel zip is in the second post and is labeled " tp_SYN3202.img zip". If you've forgotten how to do a firmware update, hit the top link in my sig and look for the section on firmware updates.
Seriously though, there are plenty of newer, up-to-date ROM's out there. Why would you bother with this one?

Are there any roms you can recommend me ?
Any of the 3.16 or 3.17 Sense ROM's in the Development section, the Sense 5 ports.....and there are a ton of AOSP ROM's in Original Development to choose from. Just try them all until you find what suits you

So I just put CM10.0 on my phone, using TWRPS 2.4.4 (CWM didn't seem to respond for me) and I can boot into Android but the touchscreen doesn't work. The touchscreen does work in recovery however. Can anyone help me out here because I've been searching for solutions about this all night, and I eventually gave up and decided to make this.
Thanks, in advance.
EDIT: May I note that I applied CM10.0 because 10.1 got stuck at the CM boot screen for some reason. Also, I was updated to the latest stock software before I started this whole process.
You need to downgrade your touch panel and TWRP to something like 2.3.3.0. to run CM10. Right now you're limited to running ROM's that are software version 3.16. Read Captain Throwback's firmware thread in development for more info. The best way to downgrade would be by getting S-off. Makes life much simpler

Is there a way to get S-OFF using Windows? I'd prefer not to install Ubuntu just for this..

Right now, no. Dirty Racun is the only way to go.

How come it used to work in windows and they changed it? What a hassle.
There is Facepalm S-off but it doesn't work on 3.16.

Well I think I'm going to put Mean Bean on until I can go to a friend who has Ubuntu (I have 0 experience with it) and then get S-OFF and then I can switch to CM.
Is there any chance CM will simply be updated soon to work with the new touchscreen driver? I can't post in their thread because I'm a noobie.

You don't have to install it. Just use a live cd of Ubuntu 32 bit

Once I get s-off which firmware do I have to flash?

Your firmware is up to date so no need to downgrade it. You just need to downgrade your touch panel, nothing else. I believe it's posted in Captain Throwback's firmware thread in the development section.

Apparently what I'll need to downgrade to is this:
-3.15.651.16 JellyBean OTA-
"Full" Firmware zip
Includes Radio 1.12.11.1119, PRI 2.87_003 & a few other smaller updates.
NOT INCLUDED IN ZIP: HBOOT.img, recovery.img (stock), and boot.img
tp_SYN3202.img zip (for downgrading purposes only)
Boot.img Only (signed) | Mirror
Can be flashed through bootloader/fastboot while S-ON on newer HBOOT

Which of these do I need to download and, I assume flash from recovery?
Nevermind, I got it working! Only problem is the phone is no longer activated... Hmmm I'll have to get ahold of Sprint tomorrow.
Hey Everyone,
This is my first actual post on xda but these forums have helped me with many things that have come up with during my time with Android
I recently installed CM 10.1.3 RC2 for my HTC EVO 4g LTE and couldn't find a good guide to going back to the stock software that I had before. Nothing is wrong with CM but I just prefer sense for this device.
To install CM I unlocked my bootloader with HTC DEV and flashed twrp 2.4.1.0 according to CM's guide. I installed GooManager for access to the twrp bootloader but from their I'm confused as to how to revert back to stock htc sense. I downloaded the latest RUU for my device so if anyone can help me out that would be great. Thanks.

You can flash a Sense ROM. There are quite a few to choose from. If you want to go back stock and unrooted, you can run a RUU. If you're on the latest Hboot, you'll have to S-off and run VipeRUU to get you back to stock, since there is no RUU for the latest OTA.
Also, there is no such thing as a "TWRP bootloader". TWRP is your recovery

No. The RUU is run from your computer. Custom ROM's are installed through TWRP.
Download this:

Then flash through recovery. It will get you back to stock.

If he's on the latest OTA and flashes that ROM his touch screen won't work...............
He needs the 3.16 software version, not 3.15.

No. It's a "stock" ROM, not a RUU. If you truly want to go back completely stock, get S-off and then use the tool in the link below. If you simply want a stock-feeling Sense ROM, check out the development threads-there are plenty.
Here is the link to VipeRUU. You must be S-off to use it.

It would also be helpful if you posted your Hboot and radio (baseband) version.

Just use the VipeRUU and don't mess with your phone as its happening. ( you won't be able to use it for 30mins+ during the process.

Okay, so I am completely new to all of this.
Some of my specs are currently
Android version: 4.1.1
Software: MeanBean_3.90
HTC Sense version: 4+
s-ON
My question is... I want to upgrade to JellyBean ROMs/Mods
Can I change my android version without damaging my ability to relock my phone?
I mean. Can I still return my phone to factory (unroot same software etc) if I update my Android version?
Also I tried to return my phone to stock but I am just getting TWRP set up over and over... Do I just need to flash the factory software?
Or do I use the Build number as a guide for an exe file?
Also does anyone know about the "Operation Jelly Bean" ROM by the Anonymous team?
I flashed the ROM, I love the ROM but the touch panel DOES NOT work for me.
According to the specs I should be able to use it?
Anyone else with s-ON try to use it and have issues with the touch panel?
or does anyone have any insight?
You can do whatever you want and still be able to return your phone to factory stock, although gaining S-off will make this easier, since you can use the VipeRUU tool to get you back totally stock. The tool requires you to be S-off.
You can't use Operation Jelly Bean because you are on the 3.16 software version, which includes an upgraded touch panel driver so you can only use 3.16 ROM's or AOSP ROM's with the 3.4 kernel. Operation Jelly Bean is 3.15 based. You must also use TWRP 2.4+. You can get S-off and downgrade your touch panel driver to the previous version & run whatever ROM you want.

Oi, you're quite helpful and fast. I appreciate your patience, as well as your 'noob friendly' attitude.
I do have TWRP 2.6.3.0 so I am not worried about my TWRP system...
just everything else. Though I am getting more comfortable with playing with it. less panic.
No problem. Just glad to help.

I am attempting the 'FacePalm' method and I was wondering
Should I actually attempt another method, in your personal opinion, which is better for s-OFF?
(Attempted DirtyRacun but was unsure about the Linux download)
If you're Hboot is version 2.09 and your radio (baseband) ends in 1210, you need to use Moonshine.

I changed to a stock ROM the Radio ends in 0830?
Do I just need to find stock ROMs and find one that ends with 1210?
I have tried to run the distiller (read everything uninstalled HTC sync from windows Programs)
But my distiller fails.
If I run it on the Blues and Jazz ROM it fully flashes the SuperCID (120/120 Fastboot)
But it will fail at the adb flash (around 50/120)

Boot into the bootloader and list your full radio (baseband) version, not just the last 4 digits.
Also keep in mind that custom ROM's do not include firmware (radio, etc.). So flashing a ROM in and of itself will not change your firmware version. That's something you have to do separately from the ROM. The only thing that may change is your software version, depending on the ROM.

Radio- 1.13.11.0.45.0830
I don't think I have flashed any Firmware at all then.
You haven't. You're on the latest OTA. Moonshine might work but at this point nobody has tried it on the latest OTA so it's anybody's guess as to whether or not it will work.

Sure. You can use any ROM based on software version 3.16 or 3.17, and any AOSP ROM with the 3.4 kernel. You'll just have to flash the ROM with Flash Image GUI or fastboot commands depending on the ROM.

And does android version have affect on what works with it?
Or should everything work okay as long as the Software and Kernels are proper?

Right. On Sense ROM's make sure they're at least version 3.16. For AOSP make sure the kernel is 3.4.
