I can not see any Bluetooth devices. Any one else have this issue? I tried multiple sense and AOSP ROMs and none of them are able to detect any Bluetooth devices. Is there a fix for this?

Mine was also a 1.12 hboot... And as soon I got the new one I rooted it and got s-off using dirty racoon, now if you get it replaced it's easier now to get s-off using moonshine...

It's been almost a year since the Evo LTE. I have dealt without the bluetooth. I don't really use it but it would be nice when i'm the car. If 4.3 fixes it it would be great if not i'm just gonna wait and see what new phone is out. HTC needs to stop this bull**** and trying to be like crapple, no removable battery and no sd-card bullshiet. I hope Sprint gets a Sony phone.
It's not always HTC's fault, some people have to take responsibility for hacking their phone and read more and not run and get a replacement at the first sign of trouble. I'm not saying it isn't a hardware problem, but some people don't know anything about knowing to flash radios, correct order of steps to take, correct way to install a rom or kernel and try to just forge their own path which isn't goin to work.
I'm posting cause Ink in the viper thread everyone noticed u were misinformed and in case u don't check back in there for some reason. Update ur radios, and do it in the correct order. It was a big deal when the update came out.

Yes...... But it needs to be done correct. I'm not totally sure but I think u have to update firmware in order. Meaning if u didn't do the firmware update before the newest than u need to do that first. Go into settings> about software information> more. Look at ur baseband version and than start by updating to the firmware after that one. Also u need to be s-off, and these are not flashed in recovery. U put the zip on the root of the sd card and bootup into the bootloader.
If u got this phone on its launch and rooted and s-off'd a while ago but never did a firmware update like this or took an OTA, you might be on the this phones first firmware.
Then there is the deal with the touch panel part of it. (TP img) only the newest firmware presented a problem. U must be on a newer twrp and must be on a rom that came from the lady update or your touches won't be detected. Do everything correct and the screen becomes more responsive. Check out that thread and orders for everything.

Due to WiFi issues on the release day OS, I took the 1.22 OTA and screwed root. I knew it would happen but the fixes outweighed the issues. I waited to see if root would be achieved via Regaw or the like since I didn't want to lose any of my configuration. Now... Sense 4.1 was just too tempting to pass up and since I wasn't rooted anyways, I went for it.
I decided to attempt root and start from scratch anyways as I was having random app issues and some bloat problems.
The root method from HTC Dev worked flawlessly on the new new OTA and I was able to load TWRP and SuperUser via fastboot (instructions can be found by searching as I did).
So now here is the question: where does this leave me as far as flashing ROMs... Obviously I am aware that I am S-On and know those limitations. My issue is if and where any limits may apply now that I am HBOOT 1.19. Will I be stuck with only 2.13 ROMs that we're built based on the new HBOOT or can I flash any Rom based on 2.13 (or even older revisions)? I cant risk bricking so I am asking to be cautious as well as your answers providing any new users coming in with new phones running the latest OTA.
Thanks
Why did HTC update hboot 1.15? Because they discovered an exploit flaw that we could gain S-OFF with, which is FAR better than being on HTC Dumlock. If you are not concerned with obtaining S-OFF via LazyPanda and the like, this should not be a concern.
Also, being on the new hboot means that backwards compatibility to ROMs that are not based on the new OTA could become an issue.
Sent from my LTEVO via XDA Premium
New h boot for you only means that you won't be able to get s-off for a very long time probably since nobody has figured out how to even s-off h boot 1.15 yet. You shouldn't have an issue flashing any rom from my understanding as long as it's through recovery.
Edit : I would listen to Michael on this one regarding ROMs sounds like he knows more lol.

Yes, you will be stuck flashing 2.13 roms with the 2.13 kernel. However, you can use one of the workaround methods (fastboot, flash image gui, twrp dumlock) to flashing an older kernel, and then flash roms based on a previous OTA base.
A ROM doesn't include an HBoot though, so there shouldn't be ROM/HBoot compatibility issues, right?
No, you can flash whatever version of android you want

I don't think that's quite right (I could be wrong though).
If he wants to flash a JB-based ROM, he will definitely have to flash the boot.img separately via one of the workarounds mentioned.
If he wants to move between Sense-based ROMs, he *might* be OK. But he will not get any tweaks the dev may have made to the kernel included with his respective ROM.
I was referring to the question above me that asked about ROMs interfering with hboots
Having an old ROM on a new hboot won't cause issues.
Naturally, you need to have a working kernel for your ROM. So yes, you'll need to make sure you have the right kernel.
If he goes from any ROM to a ROM on a different base you'll have to install the correct kernel. . But I don't think that's what he was asking

Correct me if I'm wrong, but, a ROM includes a Kernel, so when you flash a ROM you're swapping kernels.
The only kernel incompatibility would be if you flashed a ROM then flashed a Kernel, then you have to be careful.
If anybody is absolutely certain that this isn't the case and not just guessing, let me know and I'll stand corrected.

That's true for 1.12, since it allows you to flash kernels through recovery. The newer versions don't. That's the reason for using the fastboot or dumlock workarounds. That being said, I haven't heard anyone confirm yet that these methods still work on 1.19...I'm interested to know.

From what I can tell... No. You have to run HTC Dev first in order to get to where you can load a recovery program at which point you will have already had to wipe your phone to factory defaults.
It's unfortunate and the main reason I waited so long to unlock this way but as previously stated, Sense 4.1 was too hard to pass on

Yes, every ROM includes a kernel.
But Hboot 1.15 and above do not let you flash things to the boot partition in recovery. The kernel goes in the boot partition. So you can't flash kernels normally through recovery.
If your on a sense ROM and flash an AOSP rom, the phone wont boot
If your on an AOSP ROM and flash a sense ROM, the phone wont boot
If your on an old base and flash a new base, the ROM will have issues (if it even boots)

I'm planning to hold off an updating to the latest firmware until I flash a ROM that's based on the latest software version. If you're running a ROM with an older base, using the latest firmware could cause compatibility issues, and since downgrading could brick the phone, you'd be stuck. Unless you're experiencing connection problems, I don't think there's much reason to risk it.

If you installed the latest OTA, it's not a good idea to flash to an older version so you can root. You're likely to brick the phone.
Sucks, cause I wanted to flash CM10 once the camera was fixed, but looks like I gotta wait til a workaround is invented.

So just to be clear, ROM's never include firmware (except for maybe official OTA updates)?
According to this, "a phone’s firmware is basically its operating system." So do ROMs depend on a certain "operating system" to function properly? If I have a ROM that was built on an older firmware, does that mean it may not function properly with the newer one? But this won't brick a phone, just maybe make the ROM not function (but you can still flash a different one)?

Make sure you read the OP. You have to update the firmware in steps to be able to run the lastest ROMs.
There is no reason to update the HBOOT, in fact you do not want to do that. It just makes it harder to gain S-OFF when you want.

Before I finally got soff, I was running the latest on. 1.15 firmware without any issues. So there's a good chance you can run the latest rom without updating, still it depends on your phone really. HTC phones have a nice feel and overall quality, but stack the same model head to head and there are still a crap ton of differences.

I am Using HTC EVO 4G LTE in india under reliance india network.
I am using it for almost 2 months without any issues,
Last week i installed the Jelly bean OTA, from them onwards the device keeps on restarting every 5 min.
Its boots perfectly works stably for 5 min and then it re-starts.
I dont know what to do? .. Will downgrading to ICS will fix this problem.?
If so whats the best method to downgrade .. I am noob when it comes to this device. Please guide me.
I checked the forum but its with too many posts and got confused on it.
Honestly the first thing I would retry is a factory reset(if your not already s off) just make sure to backup any data you want saved onto your pc first. Perhaps even a phone call to your carrier as well that way they can document the issue so if you need a replacement later the paper trail will help.

There is probably ten thousand more people on here that can give you a more qualified answer than what I'm about to but I can tell you right now your gonna have to do the leg work and work your search bars...But I have recently been dealing with downgrading these EvoLTE's lately so I can at least help you narrow it down(a little).
Since you upgraded to JellyBean, I think the most important thing you will need to know is whether it updated you from the 2.13 firmware to the 3.16 firmware and whether your touch panel img was updated or not. If you were updated to 3.16 with the new touch panel, your basically going to have a heck of a hard time trying to downgrade to ICS...You'll have to get s-off and use a linux/ubunta live cd to downgrade it back to 2.13 so that you can then load a ICS rom. (BTW, if your in this boat, good luck because until they come up with a easier way to downgrade(if they ever do) it seems to be no joke, I wouldn't even attempt it, but I'm pretty much a noob to this stuff)
If your still, hopefully, on 2.13 , then all you should have to do is unlock your bootloader, and add the ICS rom to your sd card and flash a TWRP custom recovery then flash/install the rom through the bootloaders recovery(TWRP recovery). I would recommend the MeanRom ICS rom, it's easy to find and a great ICS rom that is basically stock. That or hunt down a stock 4.0.4 rom. Good luck.

Most likely not. When the EVO got the official update to software version 3.16, the firmware that came with that update included an update to the touch panel. If you have the updated touch panel you can only use ROM's that are software version 3.16. Using anything else will render the touch panel inoperable. Your best bet, as stated above, is to get S-off. Once you do this you can install the previous touch panel driver and flash an ICS ROM. You can leave everything else as-is. There is no need to downgrade your firmware.

Thanks for the thoughts. I understand now that i am in the latest firmware now. So whats the best method to get S-OFF. ? ..
Once S-offed how to install the touch drivers and a ICS rom, if you can guide me to a procedure or some installation link it will be very helpful.

Check out the link in my sig. The biggest thing at the moment since your firmware is up to date is that you don't have to worry about flashing the kernel separately from the ROM
Also, the latest firmware (baseband) is 1.12.11.1210.

S-Off allows you to change different things that you wouldn't be able to while S-on, like changing the splash screen when you first turn on your phone.
You can also flash any rom (SENSE, AOSP, or other...) without the need to flash the kernel in advance. With S-on, you have to use fastboot on a computer or Flash Image GUI found in the play store to flash the kernels.
Lastly, S-Off allows you to upgrade and downgrade the firmware at will. This is incredibly useful if you are having signal or battery drain problems with older firmware, since you can update them without the need to relock the bootloader and accept OTAs, which will require you to find a different exploit to root, and also to attain S-Off. Each Hboot version requires a different exploit, but luckily, there was one found for each version. S-Off is also the ultimate protection against bricks. It doesn't make it invulnerable, but you are more likely to save your phone.
