[Q] Bootloop... Cant seem to fix - Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE

I have been trying to fix this for two days now. I unlocked my bootloader, rooted phone, installed custom ROM. All was working fine until yesterday I tried to put a different custom ROM on and it went into a boot loop. Phone is a Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE. I have voided my HTC warranty by unlocking boot loader and I don't have a Sprint replacement plan.

I can get into bootloader and TWRP. I have tried a couple RUUs which fail and I have tried flashing different ROMS which fails. I am at a loss as of what to do. Please help me out.

You need to S-OFF.

Ok. I am going to try the DirtyRacun way now (downloading Ubuntu at the moment). After I S-OFF I reflash a ROM?

If you could get your phone to boot you could use Moonshine. It's Windows friendly and takes about five or ten minutes to complete. Using Dirty Racun, just follow the steps. Part of the process involves downgrading with RUU. Once you're done you can flash whatever ROM you want and not have to worry about installing the kernel separately.

You'll need to be able to boot to your ROM if you decide to use Moonshine. Have you tried installing a ROM like MeanBean to get you up and running?

Just re-flash whatever ROM you were running previously, and then proceed with S-OFF so you can then flash whatever ROM you want.

^What he said.
MeanBean and ViperROM are both S-on friendly, so you shouldn't have a problem getting either one up & running. Just read the OP for whatever ROM you choose so you get it installed correctly

Root Hboot 1.50 HTC Method (HELP!)

So last night I used the 2.08.651 temp root and was able to backup my apps (even though im on 2.17). Now I'm wondering how I can permanent root on 2.3.4 with 2.17.
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1239821
I'm a little confused with that guide. Can someone help me out?
(like must i flash the 2.08 RUU?)
My EVO is on:
Stock 2.3.4
HBOOT 1.50
2.17.651.5
Welcome to the club of "No permanent root" (yet) if you have an Evo 3d with HBOOT 1.5.
As far as I know, the best we can have is "temp root" using HTC's "unlock" method. I'm in the same boat as you. I might me wrong, but I don't think flashing 2.08 will do you any good.

You will have to use htcdev.com method for unlocking.
http://htcevohacks.com/htc-evo-3d-hacks/how-to-root-evo-3d-2-08-651-2-and-later-htc-unlock-method/
Zedomax I believe has the best guide for rooting 2.17 hboot hboot 1.5.
No you don't need to flash 2.08. With s-on for some roms you will have to unzip the ROM and put the boot.img in the SDK tools or whatever folder adb and fastboot are in. 2.17 has some very stable roms, check out Cleanrom and meanrom from mikeyxda
I've also got some updated Flashing/notes (see my signature) that go along with Zedomax's guide.

Assuming u have Hboot 1.50, you need to re-lock the bootloader via fastboot command then run Full 2.17 Ruu (this will wipe the phone) , run the unlock code again & re-root. (same link in my signature)
Sent from my PG86100 using Tapatalk
Why do you want to upgrade to the new software package? Most ROMs are using the 2.08 software base for their builds.
Good thinking..

Important Information Before Flashing
Important Information Before Flashing
Try flashing the ROM before running the update. If all seems well, then you probably don't need to bother flashing this. If, on the other hand, weird things happen, you may need to flash the firmware update below.
To flash this ROM, you may need to flash a firmware update. If you are on HBOOT 1.40 Revolutionary S-OFF (or are 1.50 S-OFF), you're all ready to go. Just place freeza's firmware update ZIP file in the root of your SD Card. Then boot into the bootloader, and follow the update directions onscreen.
If you are on 1.50 HTCDev unlocked, you will need to downgrade your HBOOT to 1.40 by using Unknownforce's HBOOT downgrade method. I have a Live CD in my thread that's already set up and ready for the downgrade process (for people not comfortable in Linux).
This method does require you to purposely brick your phone. You will unbrick shortly afterwords. I promise you that it's not as scary as it seems!
There are people in both threads that are more than willing to help you.
I'll try to keep this post updated as I hear more about the situation with the new ROM.
Happy flashing!

You can read this thread.. http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1535987 ...
Get a new unlocktoken from HTC, flash that via fastboot, reboot into bootloader, and then lock it
Code:
fastboot oem lock
That should fix your problem, before that, you would want to flash a corresponding(Your country specific rom through bootloader). that would fix most issues. do not try to change the cid to anything if you do not intend to give it for repairs... If seriously want to change the cid, then try to edit it with a hex editor.
Hi,
Thank you for the links. Although o have tried them. Doesn't work.
I was able to flash leedroid without problems and I do fastboot flash the boot.img.
The problem is I can't flash anything else. Trying ARHD or some other tweaks but it always says "install aborted" on recovery.
I cannot relock as well. RUU's are slowly downloading and will try to punch that in as soon as it is finished.
As for the pg86img it does nothing.
Also use free evo. It rebooted to the old HTC bootup animation then rebootes back to Leedroid

If all you're asking is if you can Stock root then- yes you don't HAVE to flash a custom ROM. Unlock via HTCDEV.com, flash a custom recovery (TWRP, 4EXT, CWM) and download SU (superuser.apk) flash that and viola! no need to flash a custom ROM. I would do a back up incase you ever do want to venture out into the ROOTING world that way you could always go back to stock rooted. There are tons of threads on here in the Dev section that can give you much more detail than I can from here

Does unlocking the bootloader allow for rooting without having to lose everything on my phone?
Unlocking bootloader returns your phone to a factory state so backup as much as you can before doing that.

Thank you for your prompt response. Does using the revolution method require flashing?
Revolutionary method do not work with ICS hboots. If you have flashed ICS there is no other method than HTC Dev unlock at the moment. If you want root only follow dgomez720 instruction.

Read through this thread. Apparently some Evo 3D mainboards are incompatible with the HTC unlock procedure.
One post I found indicated that it might have to do with the CID of the phone. You can issue the "fastboot getvar cid" command to see what yours is currently.
I would suggest you contact HTC via the developers website instead of posting the same question over and over again on multiple forums, since that will at least get you an infraction if not banned from XDA.

No, completely different CID. Most likely it would error and not do anything. It could brick you, though, so I wouldn't even try.

when you execute a RUU, it gives you all the instructions, as well as what to do in case of error messages. as far as this specific RUU not being able to run on your computer, I'd say try to re-download, I haven't personally used it, but it comes directly from HTC, I didn't touch it in any way.
