I'm sorry in advanced because I've seen a lot of threads similar to this one but none have solved my issue.
The story on how this happened:
I have an EVO LTE. I flashed it from Sprint to Verizon's prepaid unlimited everything plan and it worked awesomely. Unlocked bootloader. Installed TWRP. Rooted my phone. Everything was working perfect for a month. Sure enough, Verizon reps messed up my account somehow and I ended up having to get another phone number and another flip phone, therefore making me flash it again. No problem. Flashed it again but calling and SMS didnt work so I thought " Hey, I might just have to factory restore, wipe everything, and try again." Here's where I messed up...bad.
I went into TWRP and somehow managed to wipe EVERYTHING off my phone except for TWRP (including OS and important files that help it be a phone). I am assuming I do not have an OS anymore on this phone.
Whenever I thought i successfully flashed a ROM over and restarted my phone, it goes to the white HTC logo, then the dev disclaimer comes up, sits there for a while, the repeats infinitely.
I've lurked around and viewed MANY threads and websites trying to fix my problem but no luck at all. I've attempted many flashed and installs on trying to get an OS loaded on my phone but can't do it right (apparently).
Here's everything now:
- I can load into TWPR just fine (holding power + Vol down > hit recovery > loads into TWRP). Mount things. Move files. No problem there.
- I can fastboot things and control my phone without any problems. (although i haven't memorized any codes or commands) (fastboot flash blah blah).
Also here's what versions of stuff is on my phone (bootloader I think)(sorry I can take a screen shot)

My question is can anyone assist me in installing EVERYTHING fresh to my phone through fastboot ot TWRP? Sounds easy right?
Well I would be forever in your debt if you can work some magic and help me out.
If you can link to updated (and correct versions for what my phone is on) files I need to download, that would be really appreciated. Basically, if i can get the compatible files for my phonw and someohe can tell my where to place them and how to install them, I would be one happy camper.
Thank you and I'm sorry if there is a thread for my exact problem somewhere out there already.
**** EDIT ****
I just downloaded Viper4G 3.1.5 Full ROM and flashed it over vie mounting in TWRP. Went to install, chose it and in installed successfully without any hiccups. It said that the kernal will be installed upon restart and when it restarted my phone, it continued to say "for development purposes only" and continually restarted a few times before i went back into TWRP. Did I do something wrong?
Find the ruu you where originally on, ruu the device. Repeat your steps for vzw. After all thats done nandbackup, then mount your device to your pc copy the contents of sd. Place it somewhere safe, so if it happens again you can just nand restore. That is if I'm understanding you correctly. More details would help.

Edit: sounds like you wiped system. So what you're gonna wanna do to flash a Rom is wipe system then wipe data/factory reset. Install a Rom zip, I'd go with stock rooted for now. Relax its not like you bricked.

My heart is about to break ;( , It's been a couple days without my rezound working properly.....
I tried to Flash BAMF's rom v1.1 and it kept on rebooting itself after a couple minutes.
After I found out that I had to install the new RUU i tried that.
And i guess i failed horribly.
I dl'd it and put it on my sd card.
I Locked my Rezound, and had it installing.
I ran it about 3 times and the blue bar went from blue to yellow and then it just went back to the android men skateboarding.
I tried to run my nandroid but I didnt get any signal what so ever (Wifi-3g-4g).
At this point I was going insane.
I'm not sure what I should do......
My phone is just a white screen having these text.

Is it possible to do something else than recover the back up?
What are you trying to do before recovering the back up?

so when exactly did you almost brick?
I had a similiar problem. I relocked just fine, but when flashing the ruu it only partially worked even though it didn't give me any errors.
Turned out I had a bad download. Try to redownload ruu check file size and try to flash again. This worked for me.

That's weird. You have to run it twice, the first one updates hboot, and it will install in a random order. It will reboot, pull battery, get back to hboot, and install again. It will install in the correct order and be successful.
I was trying to recover a RezRom recovery but when I actually got into the back-up, it gave me no signal.
I'm going to try and re-download and hopefully revive me ReZound :,(
None of that = brick..

2 options at this point OP
1.) Reflash your custom recovery and a custom rom of your choice/nandroid and reflash kernel.
or
2.) Redownload/Check MD5 of the RUU, update, reflash AmonRA and reflash BAMF 1.1.

Follow the scottsroms post on how to update. Whoever told you above that you have to battery pull to get to the second round of updating is wrong.
1. Lock it
2. Run the RUU PH98IMG.zip in the bootloader
3. It will go to the white HTC screen, for me, it stuck there for like 20min. Just make sure it's plugged in and be paitent.
4. It will reboot into fastboot, select bootloader and tell it to run the PH file again.
5. It will reboot into the stock ROM
if it does anything other than that, you've done it wrong.
6. Don't try to nandroid restore... just do a clean install and don't restore anything from Ti Backup. Why would you try to restore a broken install?

There were (not many) of some reports of hardlocking/freezing while updating hboot to where it comes up with an "OK" but doesnt give the prompt to press power to reboot.
Myself, I didn't have to.
this might help
Scott has a very detailed step by step guide in his CleanROM thread. Just a few pointers before you jump in. Following this and the steps in Scott's guide should help you to get your phone back. I truely suggest using the Amonra recovery, people have reported many times that this recovery just works right, no issues.
1) make sure you have a card reader for your computer that you can connect your removable micro-SD card to. Trust me, if you screw up somewhere in the process, having a reliable way to access the SD card is a life saver.
2) before flashing always wipe/factory reset 3 times, some think it is overkill, but if you end up with some odd glitch or bug when you just wiped once, you will most likely have to wipe and flash again to get rid of the bug...so of course you are actually saving time and hassle by just doing it 3 times in the first place.
3) make sure your battery is full or almost full before you start the process, you will avoid many problems by not having your phone battery die in the middle of a flash or update.
4) read, read and read again all the information and the instructions on what you are going to be doing, then make sure you understand and are comfortable Before you actually start. Reading through the forums and knowing beforehand what others have experienced, and the fixes, will make your life 100% better while you play with your phone.

My bad, didn't ever catch that issue in my research.
I have a new HTC Evo LTE and HBOOT 1.15.000 Radio 1.05.11.0606and do not have S-OFF.
I installed Fresh 5.2.1 and had problems, when back and did a wipe including system and installed 5.2.1 again and it didn't work. After doing that I went back, wiped system again, and then restored the backup I previously made. Now the backup sometimes loads, sometimes doesn't, but even when it does I have no radio. I am going to try to install a stock rom through recovery or fresh 5.1.1 and HOPE I get radio back.
Any other suggestions of what I could do?

So now I'm just in a boot loop. I relocked, installed stock recovery and ran RUU. When I did that I booted just long enough that I could almost slide the ring to unlock before I rebooted. Then the device just constantly reboots.
I unlocked again, installed TWRP 2.2.2.0 in case there was a bug causing flashing issues. Recovery boots just fine now. I flashed Stock Rooted DeOdexed 1.22.651.3 from here since that was the version I had before this whole fiasco. I'm going to try to restore backup again but don't know how to get out of this horrible mess. Worse part about it is that it's my wife's phone! Help please!
You might need to run a different RUU. I'm not too experienced with that kind of issue though.

I reflashed stock recovery, relocked bootloader (fastboot oem lock), ran RUU (RUU_JEWEL_CL_ICS_40_Sprint_WWE_1.22.651.3_Radio_1. 05.11.0606_NV_SPCS_2.45_003_release_268323_signed. exe), and still had the boot loop problem. RUU said it completed but the bootloader still said "relocked". Isn't RUU supposed to totally wipe and restore the entire device?
I recall on my old EVO there was a zip you could place in the SDcard that the bootloader automatically looked for and would use to reflash to factory everything. Is there a way to do this with the EVO 4g LTE?
Is it possible that radios/firmware somehow got borked even though I am on S-ON? Is there a way to reflash them from bootloader?
Just thinking through ideas I'd try next and something that could possibly help recover or at least put me in a position to go back to Sprint for help.
Could have been a bad download. I think there is info on re locking in the development sticky section. It might give you some more information on what to do next.
"We're coming from a pure power source"
Just an update. Flashed again a stock ROM and installed the boot.img from stock using fastboot to be sure it was in place. (fastboot flash boot boot.img). That didn't work, still had boot loop where the phone loads enough to show the background and then restarts.
Used the PJ75IMG.zip file and attempted to install automatically in bootloader (from here) <-- Didn't install says "Main Version is older! Update Fail!
I then installed stock recovery and locked bootloader. Bootloader now shows "*** TAMPERED*** and *** RELOCKED***.
Ran RUU <-- Have a hard time doing anything since it doesn't boot up long enough to connect. Eventually RUU will fail with a connection error. I haven't been able to run RUU from HBOOT either and without the device stable long enough I'm not sure how to get RUU to run on the phone.
Still only boot far enough to see the background screen (wallpaper) and then reboot.
I'll gladly give $20 to anyone who offers a workable solution, paid either to you, or dev/charity of your choice if you don't want it.
This all started when I installed Fresh 5.2.1. Not sure if it was the fresh install or using TWRP to wipe data/cache and I also wiped system. Was that a mistake?
I just don't understand why I can't flash back even to stock. Since I'm relocked and never had S-OFF I don't understand how I was able to do something that can't be undone by flashing. I've flashed phones dozens of times so am comfortable with the process and just can't understand what went wrong and how to recover.
Is there an updated version of the PJ75IMG.zip file I could use?
Would it work to flash CM10 & the boot.img using fastboot?

so i went to switch out my battery and when i turned the phone back on it vibrated and displayed the white htc screen, then went black for a second and then stays on the white htc screen forever! Im a total noob when it comes to all the technical stuff about RUU's Kernels Roms and whatnot. I can get to bootloader, but i tried to do factory reset and it showed a green circle with a loading bar but then it changed into a red triangle with an exclamation. I tried flashing amon ra recovery but it doesnt work, although TWRP works. While in TWRP though, whenever i try to flash a zip file, it fails and says something like E:failed to mount /cache E:failed to mount /system E:failed to mount /data. Please help me i need this phone working to help me at my job. If someone can walk me through what i need to do i would REALLLYYYY appreciate it. Like i said though, i am a noob so i need realy stupified instructions lol. Thanks

First you should go to shipped-roms.com and download the vigor ics ruu.exe, the rezound downloads there are under vigor . Plug your phone into your computer and from hboot highlight fastboot press power and run the .exe file from your computer and follow the on screen instructions, this will return your phone to full stock ics. Make sure you download the vigor ics ruu.exe as the GB ruu will not work with s-on.
You can also download this: http://www.androidpolice.com/2012/0...ull-ruu-build-4-03-605-2-for-the-htc-rezound/ it's the latest ruu it'll update your hboot, stock recovery, rom, and radios, to latest stock. Just download, rename the zip file to PH98IMG (don't include .zip it is a zip file it'll add it on its own in hboot) put it on your sd card, not in a folder just on. Put it back in your phone and boot to bootloader and runn the update, when it powers off. Run it again. (As it has to update the hboot to 2.27 first)Then you'll be on the stock latest. Then root and Rom from there. Of you need help pm me for my gtalk and I could walk you thru it..

When i put it on the sd card as PH98IMG it looks like it loads it in the upper right then thats it. regular bootload screen after that nothing happens. try to load it by opening the application after im plugged in as fasboot usb and the program says Install script setup launcher has stopped working.

Yes i did reinstall my HTC Sync drivers, I have been wipining factory reset, cache, system, dalvick cache before i flash a new rom. I am S-On. Havent really determined a reason to go s-off yet, i am messing up my phone good enough with this let alone a paperclip. no problem with random reboots. I finally decided to go to a custom rom bc i was sick of my phone rebooting for OTA updates then being late for work. So the 3 roms i have now tried are Liquid smooth which i liked but i couldnt get mms messages to show up on phone. Also it wouldnt change from silent to a beep for text message notifications. i could select it but it would stay as silent. So.... I flashed ViperRezROm which i just didnt like the look and theme. So i finally flashed Cyanogen ROM and come to find out its the same kernal as Liquid smooth so it looks the same and I like that but I still cant change the notification from silent to a beep for text messages. So i never know when i get a text.
Still working on trying to flash a newer version of TWRP.
Then this time flashing I tried to titanium backup and went to load my backup and it cant find it.... WTF
UGH... Learning so much with this stuff. just taking alot of patience.
Thanks again for yalls support, I love this forum.
Mike
BTW just to note...if your bootloader is locked fastboot flash methods will not work 90 percent of the time...if you flashed liquid 3.0 that's more than likely your problem with mms as that is a beta...but on more recent 4.3 builds mms is fixed...and no its not the same kernel...just similar source code...liquid 2.9 does not have this mms issue...any random reboots on 4.2 are caused by min frequency not set right at 384 mhz and using amon ra to flash or not doing a proper clean flash....I do recommend s-off as it will make life much easier for you for modding things or flashing custom zips and for future flashing back to full stock if needed as its not possible while s-on...you can always pm me for help as I've yet to run into an error I can't fix unless posted in op caused by source

There is a few good reasons to S-Off.
1.No need to fastboot flash kernels
2.can RUU if needed
3.can flash recovery updates (cwm, twrp) as ph98img zips
4. Can keep bootloader ***locked***
5. No more ***tampered*** tag after you RUU
Scenario: you are out and about (or a computer isn't handy) somehow you are in an infinite bootloop. You nandroid restore. But it is something on boot partition. Only way to fix this while S-On is fastboot flashing a boot.img, but if you were S-Off, you would have restored the boot image from the nandroid.
Edit: added 5th reason

I finally went S-OFF to help another user get step by step to restore to fully locked and stock ruu. I decided to leave it S-OFF. It's so nice to be able to just load a rom and not have to do anything else (other than wiping). It makes changing/upgrading rom's a breeze.
I highly recommend it. It seems scary, but once you have done it once, you will not go back.
But be warned, never go back to S-ON on a non-HTC hboot... you will hard brick your device. That is the only real threat I've heard about... if you never go back to S-ON, then you have absolutely nothing to worry about. Just about any error can be fixed except for going s-on on a non-ruu hboot.
Thanks

If English is not your first language I apologise.
Otherwise, you need to be more specific and use full sentences.

you were dead on accurate regarding my problem. Your post helped me revive an all but dead rezound!! Thanks man!!
good evening, i have noobed up my phone in my first attempt to root a phone. it is an HTC vivid, i used hansoon's all in one toolkit v2.1 and followed all the steps and it worked. i installed titanium backup to confirm. i next tried to change the kernel to holicakes 2.6.35.14. it did its thing then went to the htc white screen and nothing else. i read through many messages to find an answer and was able to learn how to get to fastboot hboot. from the top of the screen it reads

VOL DOWN
POWER
FASTBOOT
RECOVERY
FACTORY RESET
CLEAR STORAGE
SIMLOCK
IMAGE CRC
from there i did a factory reset and it put me back to the white screen. (i have no sd card installed during the entire process)
i went to recovery and tried to flash the kernel again, it says flash it twice. same thing. i tried to flash a recovery, i tried both cwm 5.5.04 (GB) and WCXs cwm (gb/ics), same. ive tried installing a rom from my sd card and the fastboot did its thing and kept saying image not found.
i could really use some help here and i'll actually front what cash i can, or if you live in the DFW area i'll supply you with beer. any help that i recieve needs to be in simple specific terms and step by step instructions. i'm an automotive mechanic, not a computer guru. many thanks
I used to be an automotive mechanic.... Anyway when you flash an incompatible kernel this happens, best bet from there is to flash a know working kernel (or the backup you made just prior)
But I'm assuming you didnt make a backup and now have possible wiped more than you expected. Without knowing more about your phones current condition I would just wipe all in recovery and then flash a known working ROM (and anything else you need like gapps) then reboot.
You still have radio security flags turned on so I doubt you did much damage, just borked the system or boot partition is my guess
Good luck!

mine has same issue trying to find out info as well
hold vol + and power for about 10 secs then hold vol down. this will take you back to recovery. if you made a backup restore it, if you didn't make a backup use adb to push the rom to your device, search for side loading rom to device using twrp for more info.

what I ended up doing is downloading in specific the bad boys Rom and using my dongle for usb found the file in recovery and saved it to storage. Then ran the Rom as my os and I was back in business. All this started from me trying to delete the ota that kept popping up everyday and I was in recovery when I accidentally deleted cache and dalvik cache. It was stuck in bootload at which time I did what was described and it worked now I'm tinkering with new roms still a noob but learning fast most important make a BACKUP ASAP!

wiping cache, and delvik cache should never cause a android rom not to boot. I wipe both of these on my m8 every once in a while to spped it back up.

I agree which makes this case all the more weird but I promise you that's what happened to me. I've done it before and nothing like this happened is why I felt safe in doing it but it bit me this time I should have made a BACKUP anyway.
