SOLVED!! Thanks to everyone, especially bigdaddy and FinZ! I will post something about what I did and what I used to get S-Off since it is actually really easy once put into easy to understands terms
Hey everyone,
Everything was going really as I was rooting my Evo 4G LTE this afternoon, until I realized I forgot to S-off. TWRP was installed and Superuser was flashed - Anyways, I got antsy and wiped the phone and flashed CM 10.1 and realized I forgot S-off - so of course, the phone wouldn't boot past the HTC screen.
I've been trying to flash stock roms to get into the superuser app, but none of them will load. They start to flash in TWRP, then the phone reboots to the HTC splash screen.
I am now unlocked, but still S-on. I can't flash any roms right now and was hoping someone might be able to help me out. I even tried the process all over again, but I get the same problem. So as of now, I can't get an OS on the phone.
Any ideas? Thanks.
Edit: I was running the latest OTA with HBOOT 2.09.

Flash meanbean or viper rom, both have s-on kernel installer and you should be able to get s-off using dirty racun or moonshine... Sharkie rom is a stock rom too with a s-on installer... Good Luck!

Question... How did you install your recovery? Goo manager, pj75img.zip, or fastboot? I have had this same problem and the only solution was to fastboot flash a recovery... Dunno it was very weird and has only happened on my lte but it's been months.

I installed it using fastboot. I'm going to try one of the ROMs suggested above and see if that works. I'll let you all know as soon as I do it.
I keep reading that Moonshine won't work with HBOOT 2.09 - and I haven't had any luck getting it to work; it still gives me connection issues saying it can't connect to the phone. It's weird... I can use the adb devices command in recovery mode and my device ID shows up, but when I go into fastboot USB and do adb devices, I can't get it to show up. If I could somehow get that to show up during fastboot, it would mean smooth sailing.
Update: I successfully installed Meanbean. However, I still cannot gain S-Off. Moonshine won't work and I do not know enough to use DirtyRacun since it must be used with Ubuntu. I'll post my Moonshine issues in that thread
Thanks for the help with this! It looks like it just needed a S-On ROM to be installed which I though I was doing before!
I've tried every single HTC driver available and I can't get anything to recognize the Evo when it's in fastboot. It only recognizes the device when the ROM is loaded and USB storage is enabled. Unfortunately, I can't get s-off (as far as I know) without being in the bootloader and using fastboot.
Anyone know how I can achieve this or how I can get everything to communicate with one another like they're supposed to?
Have you deleted all the HTC stuff on your PC rebooted it the plug you phone back in and it should load the drivers again
then boot into bootloader and it should load more drivers
also try updating your android-sdk
Make sure you have the most current HTC driver. At least one person that I know of had issues until he updated to the most recent driver, which can be found in the link below. Use the HTC driver from post #2.
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2179776
Also, like Bigdaddy said, make sure you have things like HTC Sync removed. Make sure you're using a USB 2.0 port, too. I don't know where you read Moonshine doesn't work with Hboot 2.09, because it does (specifically for the latest OTA).

Hi to all I have tried to root using the HTC boot unlocker with no success. I was using the step by step instructions from HTC evo hacks. I got to the step at the command prompt where I put in the unlock code and I got this : C:\rootevo3dnew>fastboot flash unlocktoken Unlock_code.bin
sending 'unlocktoken' (0 KB)...
OKAY [ 0.152s]
writing 'unlocktoken'...

See the Guide/flashing Notes in my signature. You need to rerun the currently installed "FULL" Ruu or the the Latest RUU, then the unlock will work.
I did the HTCDev and unlocked it went to thread on downgrade from 1.5 hboot to 1.4 tried that and it did not work. I went to try the wire trick and this is what I get when I try to use the controlbear. the phone connects and goes through process but says the following...
======== ControlBear 0.6 beta for JuopunutBear S-OFF ==========
Starting up......
Connecting to device...
Searching device.....
Found device.....but device has no root!!
Press ENTER to exit.....
Any help would be helpful I have tried superuser but wont install, tried rootevo3dnew, temproot sensation Ect. everything says I need to be rooted.
I am running stock rom that shipped with phone and yes I did updates. I am Sprint CDMA 2.17 rom shipped, 1.5 Hboot. I have flashed roms and modded before but dont consider myself to be advanced. I have done flashing and installing roms with my old HTC Touch pro2 but alot easier on touch pro2 LOL... Please point me in the correct place I have beeen all over from this thread to that one and back and forth and yes I have search threads and I have tried them but still come back to the one with wire trick..

Ok, let's make sure we know where you are at to start with. When you use the vol and power button to boot to fastboot, does the phone show "unlocked". If not, I think you need to do the htc method again. I have not kept up recently, but I am not sure there is any method other than the HTC method that works every time for 1.5. I have used the HTC method on two phones without a problem, so that is the method I use.
Once you get that far, I used adb to push or flash the twrp image into the recovery section of the phone. Then you should be able to flash superuser via the install menu of twrp. There are threads that have detailed explanations on how this is done.
Yea, I had a bit of a learning curve from my TP2 also, but love this phone!

I am unlocked I did the HTC Dev and unlocked it. I have a stock rom (the one shipped on phone) all I have done is unlock it... I did try the controlbear and got what I posted on last post. I am Hboot 1.5 S-ON and stock rom is 2.17.651.5 HTC Sense 3.0 ANDROID Ver. 2.3.4... Like I said all I have done is Unlock and installed TWRP 2.2 and created a restore point and created a recovery and backed up my phone. All through Goo Manager. That is all I have done.

In my post Ive included a flashable SuperSU zip. What youll need to do is boot to recovery and install this zip. Then reboot. You should have superuser access then.
Still learning this forum so excuse any errors I make. I've spent the last 10 hours trying to fix the mess I created on my wife's Evo 3d. I was able to root my phone and it was relatively easy so I tackled hers as well and have gotten a bootloop I cannot figure out, 10 hours later. I'm on hboot 1.5. I unlocked the phone (using a pretty reliable video), loaded 4EXT Recovery then tried to load roms. Everything worked fine until the rom-loading portion. Since then, the phone loops, but once or twice it made it all the way to the main screen and before I could slide the ring, a read error message appeared next to the bars of service then the phone just completely reboots. Right now, the only thing I can get into is the bootloader and the clockworkmod v4.0.1.4, somehow I lost my 4EXT Recovery. I'm stuck and in dire straights as my wife is going out of town and will KILL me if I don't fix her phone. Please help! BTW, somehow I managed to NOT back anything up (stupidity on my part). Will I be able to get this thing back to stock at least or is it now a paperweight?

Your not bricked by any means. And Im going to guess you tried to boot an ICS rom.. dont. They dont work with hboot 1.5. If you really want to go back to stock run the 2.17 RUU and youll be back to where you started. Another option is to download a GB rom and flash that. Not ICS. If your able to get to the bootloader than you can still load up 4ext recovery so you can flash the GB rom.
Edit: some hboot 1.5 users are lucky and can flash them if they used the correct VM firmware but majority of users have problems.

Thanks, I just tried flashing a rom that has taken it back to stock but I'm still in the bootloop. Should I stop flashing and simply locate the RUU?
22410,
It sounds like the kernel did not flash correctly with 4ext Recovery (next time, make sure u indicat S-on in its settings). I'm not sure if you were just stock 2.17 rooted or not, but use 7zip on your pc to open & extract/copy out the "boot.img" file from the rom, zip, etc you were using and copy it to your fastboot pc folder. Still have the Cwm 4.0.1.4 recovery.IMG file there too right (or the 4ext recovery.img file)? Ok...
- put phone in fastboot usb mode
From PC's fastboot command prompt type:
- " fastboot flash boot boot.img "
(this will reflash the kernel/boot image extracted from a rom)
If your recovery is screwed up:
- " fastboot flash recovery YourRecoveryFilename.img "
(ie: cwm_4.0.1.4_recovery.img or recovery.img, etc as listed in fastboot folder, to reflash a recovery to your phone).
With S-on, to properly enter a recovery for flashing ANYTHING you must:
- " fastboot boot YourRecoveryFilename.img "
(doesn't apply if using 4ext's Smartflash or TWRP's Dumlock settings. But you must have a bootable android OS/kernel first, once the flash is screwed it won't work).
If u have a Sprint CDMA EVO3D/HTC Unlocked & S-on (not Jbear s-Off), then the guide in my signature has more info.
Edit: as NIN said you will likely have problems flashing ICS roms with S-on (hboot version doesn't matter). If u are still unlocked & have a working recovery u can flash any gb Rom successfully after wiping system, data, & cache (or run superwipe zip). Meanrom GB v4.5 recommended.

Hello all,
I am brand new to the android community, and have come accross a problem that I can't seem to get fixed. I previously rooted/rom'd my EVO lte with mean rom a while back. I started to have wireless issues so I decided to spend some time learning/fixing the problems that I'm sure my noobness created.
I relocked my phone and unrooted it back to factory 2.13.651.1. After doing that I updated my phone via Sprints OTA updater. I recieved an update that took me to 3.16.561.3. After that was completed I preceeded to unlock my bootloader again and installed TWRP 2.4.1.0. When I try to install any ROM it appears to go well in TWRP, but it reboots right after it says "updating kernel, this may take a while". When it reboots it sits at the HTC white startup screen, it doesnt even flash the red developer letters under the HTC logo like it normally does when continuing to boot into recovery or the old ROM.
I did some search and have found that others had issues with TWRP 2.4.1.0 (http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2048229&page=573). They rolled back to 2.4.0.0. The problem is that with the OTA update the touch sence in TWRP is broken unless you run 2.4.1.0.
Anyone else run across ths issue?
The solution is probably staring me in the face but my noob aura is blocking it. :silly:
TWRP 2.4.1.0 broke something with flashing so you might have to relock and ruu to get back to normal. The problem is there is no ruu out for 3.16 and running the ruu for 3.15 may mess up your phone. I would try to flash the kernel separately by flashing with fastboot or flashgui and see if that allows it to boot into the rom. You may be able to run dirty racun and gain s-off since the hboot didn't change with the latest update.

On your notes I did some searching to learn what you were saying. First I tried to use the fastboot update 'meanbean-rom.zip' file but it produced errors:
archive does not contain 'android-info.txt
archive does not contain 'android-product.txt
error: update package has no android-info.txt or android-product.txt
I tried fastboot flash boot boot.img after extracting the boot.img from the .zip. After rebooting the phone stays on the white HTC logo screen but now populates the red dev notice. Looks like I'm going in the right direction
Thanks for your help so far.
I believe I have it figured out. I searched for an unofficial version of CWM recovery (all the XDA links for the evo lte have been removed for now due to bugs). I'll deal with those bugs as I was stuck without a phone until I got it figured out
Installed CWM 5.8.3.5 and flashed Meanbean Rom. Problem fixed
I'll put TWRP back on when they release a patch.
*Edit* spoke too soon. The touch interface doesnt work with meanbean due to the driver update (I'm guessing). Atlease I can see any missed calls now. lol
*Edit* Thanks to the D3rps I was able to get my phone up and going again. They had posted the stock 3.16 rom here: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2127947, with *Removed* recovery I was able to flash that rom. Now I just have to keep an eye out for the Meanbean update that will make it work with 3.16 touch.
**Edit** I removed the reference to the recovery I was using due to problems my noob self was not aware of. Thanks to Bigdaddy619 for his guidance, I now realize why no one is using it on the evo lte.
So while in process of s-off once I got to the part when you "fastboot oem rebootRUU" that went through. But right after trying to flash a zip im stuck looking at the blk HTC screen. I was given a "<Failed <remote: 99 unknown fail>". Now its just stuck.
I've been trying to figure out what happened but just have no where else to turn. Please lend a hand.
I think I already know the answer to this question, but what version is your firmware? Just for your knowledge, there hasn't been an RUU since ICS, or maybe the first release of JB. So, odds are, you flashed the wrong RUU.
But good news, you *might* not be bricked. Have you tried rebooting? This really your only option, anyway. Try to get into the bootloader. Flash a new recovery if the RUU has already wiped it, and flash a compatible rom.
Please also list your bootloader info.

It's not a full RUU in the normal sense. It's the one for Facepalm.
To the OP, did you gain SuperCID prior to running those commands? If not, then the process will fail. You should simply be able to hold the power button down & reboot your phone. Also, as stated above, list your device info so we can make sure you're using the right S-off exploit.

Happens to all of us. Don't worry about wiping the OS. Look for Captain Throwback's stock rooted rom, and flash a custom kernel along with it, like the Dirty MAC kernel or Arc reactor. Doesn't matter which one...rumrunner just needs a custom kernel.

After you flash these, then reboot into Android, set your phone to stay awake during charge Settings-->Display and Buttons, and also set SuperSU to automatically grant root access (open the app, swipe right twice, and scroll down a little). This way, you don't have to touch your phone. If you touch it, the process will fail....even to unlock the phone to grant root access. And of course, turn on USB debugging in Developer Options.

This is odd to me, because I ran rumrunner at least 3 times using just my stock ROM (no custom kernel or anything), and it worked fine every time. I guess the new version of rumrunner added some limitations to make it more generic.
whats bothering me is that even after i check the MD5, it keeps failing to install capt zip. think maybe i can just use adb to push the zip file? just not sure how to word the command right to get it to load

No, don't. If it fails, don't force it. Reflash TWRP 2.6.3 (not the kit kat version), and try to flash again.
@Captain_Throwback: Yes, I didn't remember needing a custom kernel when I used Dirty Racun, but rumrunner needs it now. Keep in mind that rumrunner isn't for this device exclusively. Maybe that's the purpose of the custom kernel.
i'd wager you're trying to flash files that aren't recovery flashable, then lying to the people who are trying to help you.
i got it running again using capt stock rooted rom. attempting rumrunners s-off again now that i got this part working.
Are you using a custom kernel?

now s-off and updated rumrunners hboot. now onto flashing roms finally.
Thank you all that helped me with my stupidness and not reading directions.
Last post. I can't say it enough that you must read read read when it comes to directions. If I would of followed directions as directed I would of never ran into the issues I did. It was a learning experience.
One thing for sure that I took from this experience is adb and directions. I've learned a lot in the last 24hrs alone.
I'd like to thank Capain_throwback and everyone in the irc for the help and you all here that assisted me.

My LTE took a dump the other day. Started overheating like crazy, despite no changes.
Was running cynagenmod 10.2 and it was working well. S-Off HBOOT 2.09.4444, Radio 1.12.11.1119
Then these overheats kept going all day until I turned it off. Then started bootlooping, would fully launch one out of 10 times.
So I wiped using TWRP and gave that a try, no luck, still overheating and bootlooping.
So I wiped and restored a TWRP backup, nothing... the stock rom is bootlooping even harder than before and never fully launches now.
It got to the point TWRP wouldn't launch until I had to put a fresh version on the SD card.
Tried to install the newest stable CM10.2 image and as before locking up at boot splash screen of the rom after HTC "quietly brilliant" and looping.
So now I am stuck, downloaded the stock RUU from HTC website, however the devices needs to be recognized to use their exe.
Is there an image I can throw on the SD card and use TWRP to try a flash from that? Any other recommendations?
TIA.

What are you trying to achieve? Do you need an alternative RUU flash or find a new ROM so you won't get bootloops and heating?
I suggest going on CM11 or resort to Meanbean for stock sense 4.
If you're running a RUU I suggest using this method here.

But before that please read the first 4 posts of this thread (especially Q&A) to get you updated on what's going on with the newest RUU.

I am trying to get this phone into any working order if I can. I have reason to believe the hardware has been affected by the overheating. I need to get it to fully launch before I can declare that, so anything to stop it from bootlooping is what I am trying to achieve. Occasionally, when it would fully launch, I noticed none of the radios worked, no mobile data, no WiFi and no Bluetooth which were previously functioning fine.
The links are down to the two files needed in the first post you're referencing.
I believe my partitions are out of whack and need to be fixed. Everything I am seeing to repair partitions is while the phone can boot, can someone point me to some info that shows how to fix partitions while only recovery is achievable? Maybe I am going about this wrong, search not returning the results needed.
TIA
You can RUU from the bootloader, without having to be booted to the OS. I can confirm this works on both the 3.17 RUU and the latest 4.13 RUU, which I have both used. Make sure you have HTC Sync involved and use a Windows 7 machine and you shouldn't have any issues.

You're saying you were able to get it recognized during Bootloader USB? The RUU will not recognize the device for me this way.
Yep, worked just fine connected via Fastboot USB mode.

Hmm, tried this on Win8, I'll give 7 a shot, thanks for the heads up!
How do I ensure my partitions are in proper order? Often when in TWRP and trying to run common commands, I get SD card unmountable and noticed what seems like multiple SD card nomenclature.
my problem is i just updated to twrp 2.7.0.1 and no everytime i exit the recovery it says theres no op or superuser installed. its funny cus i do and it boots up normal. please help me its annoying and scary at the same time thanks. on htc evo 4g lte rooted and unlocked s-on with meanbean 3.9. i wanted to add i just tried to flash viper rom and it has the aroma installer 2.0 and says the kernal wasnt installed. so im basically stuck on meanbean.
Meanbean is one of the only ROMs you can flash s-on without fastboot flashing the kernel separately through the bootloader.
S-on is doing what it's supposed to. Meanbean somehow maintained its HTC signature, so the phone doesn't know that it's supposed to try to fix it.
Get s-off. Also consider running the ruu to update to the new partition layout.

thank you i actually just fixed it. i had to downgrade trwp. twrp2 was bad. maybe a bad dl. i know i have to flash the boot.img in fb while s-on. the weird thing was i couldnt make a backup or even mount via twrp. so i figured that was it. now you say to get s-off, well i need help with that. i have hboot 2.9 (0830) and i tried moonshines s-off and it didnt work it always says adb connection failed and yes usb debugging was enabled. what would you suggest to get s-off on my htc evo 4g lte. ive searched and read. alot of programs only use linux. im on win 7 and live cd was a pain. if you could help with that i would appreciate it.

You can try Firewater for Hboot 2.09.
I'd recommend running the newest RUU to update to 2.10, then unlocking, rooting and running rumrunner. That seems to be the way most people are getting s-off nowadays without running into hassles (you'll find a lot of threads where people on 2.09 and such having random issues trying to gain s-off, although it is very doable)
