Alright, so i have an EVO 4g lte and i attempted to root it today. It didnt turn out very well to say the least... I unlocked bootloader and flashed TWRP recovery.I then flashed superSU, and at the same time i flashed a custom rom and gapps zip. Then hit reboot. It has not booted up since.. It will just sit at the white HTC screen. i tried clearing cache and Dalvik cache, also did a factory reset. tried flashing cm10 rom onto the device as well as a rooted stock rom. nothing works! the farthest i have gotten was with the cm10 rom and it went to the cyanogenmod boot logo but was in bootloop still. I downloaded the ADT tool bundle but the phone wont show up on the device list. Can anyone help? im completely stumped.. Im fairly new to rooting and custom roms, but i have rooted multiple tablets and samsung galaxy phones and havent had any issues. this is my only phone also, i just gave my backup to my mother because her phone broke... please if anyone knows how to fix this let me know. when i boot into recovery mode it says Tampered and Unlocked at the top as well as S-On. I can also go into TWRP recovery with no problems. just cant use fastboot with my computer (windows 7 PC).
I am pretty sure i know what i did wrong, I flashed SuperSU to gain root at the same time i flashed the custom rom and gapps.. on all the other devices i would reboot after root and then flash the custom rom seperately.. but is there a way to correct my mistake?
Since you are s-on you have to fastboot flash the boot.img/kernel first and then flash CM and gapps
Any questions PM me
OK sorry to be a noob but how do I do that? I used cmd.exe while rooting but now it won't recognize my device. Much thanks for any help!!

If in bootloader type fastboot devices
In recovery type adb devices
See if you get a reply
In fast boot USB menu on the phone, I typed fastboot devices on cmd and it came up blank.

Sounds like a driver issue
1.Uninstall everything HTC from your PC
2.Reboot your PC
3.Plug your phone in and it will load a bunch of drivers
4.Try the command again
If that does not work get the latest drivers from HERE use the ones dated 6/6/13
and don't forget the BMP drivers towards the bottom of post 1

OK rebooting now I'll see if it uninstalled everything.
:fingerscrossed:
OK were connected now, now what? :good:
PC and phone are talking ?
fastboot devices
yes they are talking now. fastboot devices and my phone shows up.
i tried fastboot flash boot.img but it wont recognize the command, i placed the boot.img file into the platform-tools folder inside my C drive. what am i doing wrong? its late at night and im frustrated so i know im screwing something up...
ok good BTW which version of twrp are you using? Let me know before you continue.
pull the boot.img from the rom zip and copy it to the folder you opened your cmd window from
then type fastboot boot boot.img
once it says successful press the power button to return to HBOOT and use the vol keys to navigate to recovery
Once there choose wipe and wipe cache/dalvik cahce/system/data or factory reset depending which version of twrp you are using
then flash CM and gapps
C:\Users\Corey>fastboot boot boot.img
cannot load 'boot.img': No error
thats what i typed in and thats what it said back to me. not quite sure what the problem is.
the boot.img is placed in the same folder as the fastboot application

same thing, cannot load unknown error. also i am using twrp 2.6.0.0
Ok lets try something different at least it will get you up and running
Get twrp v2.4.1.0 from http://techerrata.com/browse/twrp2/jewel
put it in the same folder you are using and we will downgrade your twrp for now
copy and paste this in the cmd window
fastboot flash recovery openrecovery-twrp-2.4.1.0-jewel.img
then fastboot erase cache
ok got the twrp done succesfully as well as the wipe cache. whats next? i think i figured out what i was doing wrong, i hadnt opened the file directory. cd downloads, cd android files, etc.
should i try going into recovery now on the phone and flash a rom, or should we stay on fastboot and push the boot.img?
Easiest way to open a cmd window is to press shift and right click inside the folder and choose open cdm window here
That way you know you are in the correct folder.
Yeah go ahead and try to flash the boot.img again

Hey guys.
I am assuming my phone is not "bricked" because I can still get to the clockworkmod interface and mount usb and things like that, but I cant get any roms to load. I followed all the instructions and multiple videos to make sure I did my 1.5 right. Seems to be find as far as root. When I logged in to my old backup i had superuser and all.
I tried to install the WARM rom, but didnt work, so i restored my backup and bought Flash Image GUI which then I loaded the WARM zip and it said it found the Kernel and went to install it. It then asked me to reboot, which I did, and then proceeded to install the rest of the ROM via clockwork install ZIP, after doing that I can no longer even restore my backup.
If i try to load WARM, it just sits at white HTC screen and never changes. If I try to load MIUI, it loads to HTC screen, makes a sound and then goes black forever with backlight on but black and buttons lit.
That is all I can currently do. My backup no longer loads or works.
Is my phone bricked? I dont think so since I can get to clockworkmod, but what can I do to try to get it back up and running?
Thanks,
M374llic4.
Your kernel is most likely the problem. When using the the flash image GUI, dont accept when it asks you to reboot, manually hold down the power button and reboot yourself. Hook up your phone to the computer and boot into fastboot usb and fastboot boot recovery.img then install the warm rom. This will ensure you have access to flash the kernel.

When you rooted your phone, you should have downloaded a folder called newevo3droot or something like that. There's adb files, fastboot..etc and this is how you would have flashed clockworl recovery. Since you are on hboot 1.5, you need to go into fastboot and connect usb so that it says fastboot-usb, then you need to run the command fastboot boot recovery.img. Recovery.img is the name of the recovery image file in that folder. I think it's something like cwm******.img
I did download that, and had some help from someone in the IRC channel and he got me back up up and running! Turns out you have to use USB fastboot on the phone along with fastboot.exe via cmd prompt on the pc with the CWM.exe to load the kernel, then once you do that, you use the phone cwm load from zip to load the rest of the rom and you are good to go!

Yeah, thats what I did with some help from a fellow XDA member via IRC and it worked perfect! I was trying to do it all via the CWM on the phone side only, not via command prompt which was my issue.
OK so I have the Sprint EVO 4G LTE with 1.22.651.3 on it, rooted, S-ON. I have the Team Win Recovery Project v.2.1.8 on it as well with hboot 1.15. I tried loading the newest rooted software 2.13.651.1 710RD and voila.... paperweight. I tried reloading 1.22.651.3 and nothing. I can still boot to the bootloader and TWRP recovery, but nothing seems to work and now because sprint screwed up and removed my total equipment protection service from my plan, I don't have insurance on the phone. PLEASE HELP!!!
You just need to flash the kernel, extract it from the Rom (boot.img) and place it in adb folder, connect phone I'm bootloader and type fastboot flash boot boot.img
You can also flash meanrom, it has a working kernel installer, just let it sit because the kernel installer does take awhile 5-10 minutes

Can you explain how to do this in greater detail? I'm experienced only enough to be dangerous to myself lol
This program should install the kernel that you need. If not you are supposed to be able to swap boot.img files that it will install.

This is for the One S but it's the same process for our phones also.
Sorry I've been in a low coverage area and just got home. Open the Rom, extract the boot.img, open adb folder or SDK, hold shift and right click, select open command window here, connect phone in fastboot and type fastboot flash boot boot.img
So I tried to use that program to flash the boot.img from the fastboot screen but the computer wouldnt connect to the phone... now what?
Boot from system into hboot and fast boot while plugged in via USB. Helps your PC determine drivers.
Also, if you need a guide for setting up adb/fastboot, Google a YouTube vid by qbking77 on how to unlock galaxy nexus bootloader, it links to a great tutorial.

do you have SDK installed on your computer? If not install it. Go through the setup (set up your your environment variables) for fastboot.
Make a copy of the boot.img from a ROM of your choice. Place it in a folder on your desktop name the folder (android) leave the folder open.
Open cmd
Type cd Desktop press enter
Type cd android press enter
Type fastboot flash boot boot.img
After that it should say sending then OK
After that go into recovery then flash the ROM
you should be good to go then...

The full SDK is not necessary, just the debug tools

Also you can directly open the command prompt from within the folder by holding shift and opening the context menu (shift+right click) then select open command window here
i keep getting a message in windows "usb device not recognized" so i switched usb cables and finally got that program to load the boot.img file, then flashed a rom in bootloader but its still not booting... any ideas?
Did you make sure to wipe the phone first? What rom are you trying to flash?
wiped phone first and now trying to flash 2.13.651.1 after loading boot.img thru that program
you have to find a way to update your twrp to version 2.2.0 cause this is the culprit that gave you the issues. did you make a backup try doing a restore to get back up and running then download goomanager from the google play store and install the latest twrp here is a video to update to the latest twrp through goomanager.
twrp downloads I dont know if you have to be s-off to install in bootloader or not. maybe someone could clarify that
ok so i tried flashing twrp 2.2.2.0 and got a message saying "main verison is older" then it said "update failed!" which is weird since i had version 2.1.8.0 to begin with i think.
anyone? any ideas? I feel like my only resort is to have it replaced
You could fastboot flash the recovery image. Thats how I usually do it
So download the recovery image from twrp website and place it in your a dB folder. I don't have my PC but I think the command is fastboot flash recovery "recovery image"

if you haven't read my last thread here is my issue.
my pc won't read my phone because it say "failed to open usb master mode"
i can access bootloader and twrp but i cant usb anything.
my pc will say mtp driver install failed
so my question is what do i need to download for adb fastboot? programs, drivers, all i need since the auto install from my phone isn't working. and if all possible link me to it. ive been up 14 hours straight trying to search every where on what to do but im coming up with nothing. just people saying install and reinstall......so far only clonz tried to help me. i tried sideloading but i didnt know i needed to abd fastboot....tried installing adt from a google search android sdk but eclipse is saying im missing a java file. what the hell am i suppose to do? where does all the adb files/sdk stuff go? im lost already.
Are you trying to copy something to the phone while it's booted up? If yes, you dont need adb/fastboot, only the correct drivers. If you are trying to flash a Kernel, you have to use fastboot. To do this, download the sdk, install it and all the necessary things from the SDK Manager. Then open the command prompt (as admin) and navigate to the folder where fastboot.exe is (probably smth like C:\Program Files\android-sdk\platform-tools). Make sure your boot.img (the kernel) is also there. Boot the phone into the bootloader, then connect it per usb and type
"Fastboot erase cache (optional)
Fastboot flash boot boot.img"
And reboot

some odd reason when i wiped to to a new rom it like wiped everything and keep saying no os installed. so i never use adb so i dont know what to download and my mtp driver isnt installing properly
I guess you wiped data and it wiped the internal storage too. And now you cant install a rom. I'm not an expert but I guess you could try extracting a rom zip and flash every partition since sideload doesn't seem to work. Better ask a dev about that one, though..
P.s. dont wonder about the "thank", I accidentally pressed it

EDIT: Do you have TWRP recovery? If yes, boot into recovery, select "advanced", then "sideload". Now open cmd again, navigate to adb and type:
"adb sideload rom.zip" (replace rom.zip with the name of your rom file)
Note that the rom.zip must be in the same folder as adb.

I'm pretty inexperienced with rooting.. I think I may have messed my brother's phone up. I rooted his rezound and got cwm recovery working. I tried to flash a "TACHYON-1.2.zip" rom I found here and now it won't boot past the white background with green htc screen when I try to boot the phone. Please help me try to fix this! I can still boot into cwm recovery.
[EDIT] When I wipe data/factory rest it says error mounting /sdcard/.android_secure!
This was probably a mistake but I'm freaking out. I put CleanROM Standard 4.5.zip from here https://www.copy.com/s/uYOSaNCntCvx/CleanROM on another sd card and installed it after tying to wipe again. Now it boots past the htc screen and the CleanROM screen boots for a minute, then sticks..

You need to extract and flash the boot.img file from the ROM zip separately via fastboot. Extract the file and place it in an easy to access place on the drive (like same place as fastboot/adb) , then after flashing the ROM reboot into hboot and start fastboot, and use:
fastboot flash boot boot.img
Then reboot and be patient, sometimes the first boot seems to take forever.

You start fastboot in the phone, that puts it in a mode to enter fastboot commands from a PC... You Don't do anything in the phone in fastboot, you use the fastboot command that is part of the ADB package. The same way you would have unlocked the phone on HTCdev.com to allow root or CWM to be installed.

To borrow from the CM11 thread.
- Place the boot.img into the platform-tools folder of the Android SDK's install directory.
- Boot to the bootloader.
- Ensure your device is connected to your computer and that your device is now in fastboot mode. This is a white screen and it says fastboot on it.
- Open a Terminal (OSX or Linux) or CMD window (Windows) and cd to the platform-tools directory of the Android SDK's install directory.
- Issue this command to flash the boot.img we placed in the platform-tools folder earlier:
Code:
fastboot flash boot boot.img
- Watch the output of the terminal, it should say something like "sent successfully".
- Finally send this command:
Code:
fastboot reboot
Since you're s-on, you'll need to do this whenever you install a new rom.

Thank both of you so much! I'm sorry I had to have you completely spell it out for me, but I appreciate the help and this forum in general so much!
I hate to bring this thread back, but it's the best place to ask about my problem. I'm trying to switch from Clean Rom on an HTC Rezound to Venasaur Rom v3.2.0 because I read that it will work with a Straight Talk sim. I tried installing with ClockWork and I get the new rom's boot screen, but it won't boot past that. I don't know what I'm doing wrong. I would really appreciate it if somebody could help me out again!
Did you flash the boot.img this time? I would suggest after you get booted, trying rumrunner to go S-off... It saves sooo much time... I'm always switching between multiple ROMs because I'm s-off....

If you can get into the recovery and have a valid backup then in that case restore it and restart the process. Else you can boot into fastboot and flash the desired boot.img the process will be
adb reboot-bootloader
fastboot flash boot boot.img
fastboot reboot

Well you do need to have the Android SDK tools download but if you select the "Platform Tools" at the SDK manager , that will only install the platform tools on your hard disk. and yes the device drivers needs to installed , to work with ADB ,

I dont know if sdk was installed or what. only have the folder in C:
I put the boot.img file in platform-tools and tried to flash the image using the command fastboot flash boot boot.img but tells me the boot.img arrchivo not be found.
The phone does not recognize the pc, the bootloader is relocked.
Thanks for your support bro, I would like resolve this as soon as possible.

Well it seems you have installed the Android SDK all right. and make sure you put the file in the platform tools folder, and also make sure you have installed the HTC drivers for your PC to detect your phone , you can also try uninstall the driver and re install

Ok, i updated Platform-Tools to rev. 19.0.1, I had to start windows in safe mode.
But, yestarday Android sdk tools appeared in the list of installed programs in windows, i uninstalled and install today again but now i dont see sdk in list. Anyway, i open cdm and type "adb reboot-bootloader" and it says "error: device not found".
Then y type: fastboot flash boot boot.img and it says "error: cannot load boot.img"
I put the boot.img in C:\adt-bundle-windows-x86-20131030\sdk\platform-tools
And now... I dont know what to do

Install the windows drivers , better try installing the the HTC sync manager. that way your device will be detected.

Ready, installed the HTC Sync Manager, and same result. "Device not Found"
if only I could get the phone to be recognized by the pc, I think it could solve the problem.

The phone is not recognized by the pc.
I can not get into recovery because the bootloader is relocked. I can only enter fastboot, but when executing commands, either with adb, All in One Toolkit, Flasher Venom or the phone is not recognized "Error: Device not found"
I have the drivers installed, htc sync manager, and I'm afraid that this phone unusable ... Also I did have a backup but on PC, but if the phone is not recognized I can not run any command ...
Also, I was trying to run teh Stock RUU:
RUU_ENRC2B_U_JB_45_HTC_Europe_1.17.401.1_Radio_3.1204.168.32_release_299688_signed
But When I run the. Exe signature throws an error (132) "find the correct signature and try again" and which is not correct. had sense 5 and 4.2.2 HTC One X + International.
Help please ... : (
same issue, cannot access recovery fastboot only
I hope this adds to this post if I miss speak I apologize in advance but I do not have the time or knowledge to post 10 times before strating my own thread so if this doesn't add value to this post, I have been reading and researching all week and now that I cannot use my phone I must intensely focus on this until it is fixed
Fed up with 4.3 and lower limitations and looking to get my monies worth on my phone, I look to upgrade to 4.3.1 or higher just started this week so I am a total newb, and if it means anything to anyone I would be happy to donate to contributors via papal once a solution is found I am a working professional and I am happy to pay you to save my time/phone
with that said here is what I have done
HTC One X+ (AT&T US) Quad Core Tegra 3
OTA upgraded 4.2.2 Android Firmware 2.15
Unlocked BL via HTCDev
Was using;
Recovery-clockwork-6.0.3.7-enrc2b.img
With intent to upgrade to 4.3.1
Used the following Rom and GAPPS to load .zips via CWM
cm-10.2.1-enrc2b (stable)
gapps-jb-20130813-signed.zip
Did not work
Tried more recent gapps
Did not work got stuck on Circling Cyanogenmod screen
//goo.gl/YzZ75o
THEN
I realized I was not flashing boot.img taken from the CM 10.2.1 zip so I followed directions to use the boot.img then load the zip files, since doing this I can no longer use my recovery
Erase Cache (from fastboot)
COMMANDs:
./fastboot erase cache
./fastboot reboot-bootloader
Results:
White HTC “Quietly Brilliant” Screen for a few seconds then turns off
Plug in charger and Red light turns on grey empty battery symbol appears with a lightning bolt inside then disappears
red light turns off :-/
//goo.gl/JrBJph
Current state: I can fastboot, but I cannot load recovery
//goo.gl/43F6XT
Also, if I can get back into recovery
The last time I was in it, last night I believe I reformatted my internal SD, because when I was looking for my backup, and my zips they were all gone...I was very tired and should haven't pushed it.
I don't care about loss of data I just need to get my phone working again, thanks for your time and careful considerations
UPDATE+++
Used WinDroid HTC One X+ Toolkit 3 to flash custom recovery CWM 6.0.3.7 back in recovery again, now I think I need to side load a ROM because I deleted what I had internally

Ok, from what I can tell I think I have to go with this?
[ROM][2/18/2014][AT&T X+ S5 eXtreme V1.0.3.3]
I will be very happy if I can get this to work, and I will just "stay tuned" for when I can flash a stable 4.3 or higher for my phone
Under downloads I see the following: (would post picture but still too n00b)
S6 eXtreme RC1
S5 RC2 Patch
Native WiFi
Hotspot Patch
S5 eXtreme
V1.0.3.2
S5 eXtreme
V1.0.3.3
I am not sure what to download here, I will continue reading these directions as I believe this is my best option, please confirm if I am on the right path, thanks guys!
Update+++
Downloaded S5_eXtreme_V1.0.3.3_Signed.zip
about to flash this ROM, is GAPPS included in this?
Update+++
Downloaded S5_eXtreme_V1.0.3.3_Signed.zip Rom
Extracted the boot.img file and followed instructions
Extract boot.img from zip file and place in your sdk platform tools folder, (or wherever your adb tools are located)reboot device to bootloader and connect it to your PC.
From a command prompt type:
1. fastboot flash boot boot.img
2. fastboot erase cache
reboot to recovery and flash ROM.
but I am not sure how I flashed the ROM, I tried sideloading from recovery with WinDroid HTC One X+ Toolkit, before and after and it said no package loaded
Then I tried to load from fastboot, finally I figured "well I might as well reboot" and amazingly enough it booted...not sure what exactly but I am back on 4.2.2 so thank you!
