It goes into fastboot, im able to go into recovery. Its just when i try to flash a rom, it either fails or reboots when it tries to write to boot
I may have formatted the internal memory, again, MAY.
I use the term loosely because I've done everything to try and make this thing boot up again.
Any ideas, takers? using TRWP 2.5 but ive used most of them so far today. none seem to fully flash. Wish i could use Odin or something
Just so you know, if u find the simplest way:
I have access to
Windows 7 32 bit
Ubuntu 13 (Live CD)
OSX ML

Forgot to mention i was fine and dandy on stock 4.1.1, updated OTA and worked fine. This is what i get for being dumb and trying to root it/Tink with it with S-on

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.

I was having the same issue, I am on Hboot 1.5 S-On and you def. need to fastboot your boot.img. Follow the directions given, and if your phone is not picking up while connected thru USB, you might need to install drivers to your computer.
Hope that helps,

No, you won't lose s-off but you'll have to reflash the lazy panda hboot. Not sure about the latest (1.19), but probably the same deal. I wouldn't test it though, you're golden right now.

Had to get a replacement evo, want older rom back

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?

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.

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.

Phone in boot loop after restoring to stock ROM backup using TWRP 2.5

Can someone help me please?! I'm on HBOOT 2.09, S-ON. What happened was I was trying to flash my device with the following CM 10.1 ROM (cm-10.1-20130608-UNOFFICIAL-jewel.zip). I even manually flashed the kernel with boot.img extracted from the ROM's zip files via fastboot right after I flashed the ROM but before rebooting the system. The device then booted up into CM 10.1...only to find out the touch screen doesn't work. So I realized that I need S-OFF. I figured I could restore to my nandroid backup via TWRP and try to get S-OFF, but once I did that, my phone is now stuck in a boot loop. I can still boot into bootloader/recovery...but don't know what to do now. Also tried getting S-OFF via FacePalm's method (http://androidforums.com/evo-4g-lte-all-things-root/692301-s-off-facepalm-s-off-htc-evo-4g-lte.html) but my adb doesn't seem to be working. When I type "adb shell', I get the following error message "error: device not found".
Does anyone out there have a solution for this?
Thanks so much in advance!!
Boot into fastboot. Open command prompt and CD into your root folder type fastboot erase cache. See if that cures your bootloop. Are you issuing the adb command while phone is mounted as media share? Adb won't work in fastboot.

@atheistevofreak: clearing the cache didn't work. I was able to get into adb shell now, but when I type su, I get "su: not found" error message.

Thanks atheistevofreak! However, if possible, I'd prefer not to complicate the situation by flashing another ROM. I'm just puzzled as to why my phone is in a boot loop after restoring back to my original ROM from my nandroid backup. Does it have something to do with the fact that I'm S-ON and I had flashed the kernel with the boot.img via fastboot after flashing the CM 10.1 ROM?
The reason you're bootlooping is because you are S-on. You have to install the kernel separately from the ROM, otherwise your phone won't boot. Most Sense ROM's have an S-on kernel installer to simplify ROM flashing. Once you gain S-off this won't be an issue.
If you are on the latest OTA (Hboot 2.09, software version 3.16, baseband ending in 1210), you have the newest touch panel driver, so you can only use ROM's based on software version 3.16, meaning you can't run AOSP ROM's like CM. Once you gain S-off you can downgrade the touch panel driver to the previous version so you can run any ROM you would like.
Also, being on the latest OTA, you can only use Dirty Racun to gain S-off.

Thanks FinZ28! So here's what I should do now?
1. gain S-Off using Dirty Racun
2. downgrade the touch panel driver to previous version
3. Re-install the CM 10.1 ROM <-- since I'll be S-Off by this point, I won't need to flash the kernel with the boot.img separately, right?
Can all this be done while my phone isn't bootable (eg. stuck in a boot loop)?
I would need to look over the Dirty Racun steps again to be sure, but it's probably preferable that your phone have a ROM loaded. I would install something like MeanBean for the time being, but don't worry about setting it up.
The steps you mentioned are correct, though

[Q] Evo Rooting Help

So, I have my evo currently running Android 4.1.1 with Software version 3.15.651.16 710RD
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?
I'm not new to android, just HTC devices.
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.

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.

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.
Here you go. Post #2.

[Q] Semi Bricked HTC Evo 4G LTE, Please help

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?
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2321072
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.
