[Q] How do I install 3.17 update via TWRP? - Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE

I downloaded the update and when I choose to install it, my phone boots to TWRP. I found the 3.17 file in my downloads but TWRP fails when I choose to install it. I am rooted and S-OFF. I don't really care about losing my root since I just rooted to uninstall bloatware and I'm running stock 3.16. Any ideas? Thanks guys!

I believe you need to have the stock recovery on your phone in order for the update to fully automate through recovery etc. It's basically finding your recovery but since it's not stock it's just stopping...in general evo lte forum someone mentions how to do it or even a rooted version has been posted by captain throwback...hope that helps.

Go to the thread in the link below and download one of the ROM's from the first two links. Flash in recovery.

You'll retain root as the su binary is built into both ROM's.

So I downloaded the boot image and the firmware. Do I need to rename any of these files? I've tried to install both of them through TWRP and they both fail. They are both on my root folder. I also tried to go to hboot but it searches for PJ75IMG_3.17.651.4.zip and doesn"t find anything. Sorry for the n00b question but this is confusing to me. I just don't want to install a whole new rom to get the OTA

Try renaming to just PJ75IMG.zip also read what captain says in his first post!

Yeah, you just need to put it on the root of your external sd card and rename it to PJ75IMG.zip. Reboot into bootloader and it will find it automatically and ask if you want to install. You don't actually need the boot img, that's just the kernel for the latest sense build. You'll want to keep the one that was installed with your rom.

[Q] How do I remove TWRP Recovery from Evo 3D?

Hi,
I rooted my Evo 3D successfully and have TWRP Recovery. Now when I want to install a new update it takes me to recovery and says "Installation aborted" so I just want to remove TWRP and get the original recovery because I don't like this TWRP and it won't let me install the update. So to sum this up, How do you remove TWRP Recovery and reset it back to the original recovery.
Thanks.

Via My HTC Evo 3D On The Now Network From Sprint.
well, it is a ota update and it keeps annoying me so i thought maybe if i remove twrp, update, then it would be gone.
Try this go into settings/system update/htc software update and uncheck it to see if that helps.

thanks for the help and what is new in the new ota update? i want to stay up to date on my phone and if i ever thought of updating, what should i do and can you show me how to remove TWRP without deleting anything on the phone? like i want to reset the recovery back to the original.
Well there is no original recovery for the Evo3d. That's why you have to load one on the phone to gain the ability to make nandroids,flash custom roms,tweaks,kernels etc. Once you unlock your device "via" revolutionary, htc unlock etc you have a choice between recoveries like twrp,cwm etc. Removing twrp would take away your abilities I mentioned above unless you load a different recovery. To remove twrp you have to run an ruu. Then you will be unrooted with no recovery. So basically there's no point in being rooted if you have no recovery. Also as far as updating and staying current just search the development section pick a rom and read what it include in the channel log. There are more than enough roms out that have all of the latest updates already include. If you choose a sense rom or your rom is based off of sense/stock you can just go into setting/software updates/ and update profile and prl. As far as the radio update is concerned you could update that as we'll from the same place in settings but you would have to take an ota I believe and that would result in loosing root so of course you would have to reroot again. There is a thread with all of the latest Evo3d radios in the development section that allows you to dl different radios and flash them but I would strongly suggest you read and read more before you attempt to flash a radio update or radio downgrade its the one true time were you could brick your device. But nevertheless it can be done with the right knowledge and xda just so happens to have an endless supply.
Hope this helps.

Seems your question was never correctly and directly answered.
Short answer: To switch recovery's loaded on the EVO 3D, simple, flash another recovery.img file. My application, Flash Image GUI, makes this very simple. Also, the fastboot command is fairly simple, fastboot flash recovery c:\recovery.img.
Longer more technical answer: Recovery partition is large enough to basically hold a kernel plus some extras. The kernel will contain busybox, some other needed tools and a small recovery binary which displays the menus and executes the commands.
If you want to load the stock recovery, it can be found inside of the RUU files named as recovery.img.
Keep in mind, loading the stock recovery will ONLY allow HTC signed .zip files to be flashed, which no developer will be able to produce and will NOT allow adb to run, thus preventing root shell access. Essentially, the stock recovery will lock down recovery mode.
Hope that helps!

FYI its not needed in most cases. You can run an ruu or flash a fastboot zip.also you don't need it to install the 2.17 update there are aio's with and without hboots. I have a copy of the "stock recovery" cdma as well and have never needed it to update anything.

I havent said just a 2.17 update..........OTA is the keyword here.
The OP wants to know why he is unable to install the update which is coming to his phone Over-the-Air by HTC/carrier , for which he will need stock recovery IMO.
Read the 7th post of the thread. The op asked if he wanted to update in the future what can he do. The ota issue was solved if you read the thread it was just an update notice that was bothering him. Also you dont need the stock recovery to take ota updates you can just run an ruu.

[Q] How to Root After DirtyRacun S-OFF

I realize this is an easy question, but I just want to make sure I do this right. Being a newly released tool, I couldn't find anything that gave me 100% confidence that it is exactly what I should do.
So I was completely updated with my firmware, did the DirtyRacun, so now I'm S-OFF and ready for MeanROM, but first I need a recovery and root I suppose. Anyways, I need recovery first, but do I even need root before I install MeanROM or no? Nicely laid out steps would be greatly appreciated. My head hurts from everything that I've been through past few days. Thank you.
http://www.teamw.in/project/twrp2
Youre basically done. Download recovery from the link I provided and Then flash mean ROM. The rom itself will give you root
Sent from my EVO using xda premium
or if you want to keep your own stock rom and build what you want out of it (since you're somewhat comfortable using fastboot now that you've done the DirtyRacun)
you could fastboot flash TWRP and then once you've got it loaded flash the ZIP for SuperSU http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1538053
it says there that you have to be rooted, but that's for installing via the market or goo manager. flashing the zip through recovery will root your phone

[Q] RUU while S-Off

Hi I wanted some guidance and help.
I have my phone S-OFF with the latest version of meanbean and the latest firmware with touch panel drivers.
Everything but the accelerometer is working and one suggestion was to try running an RUU and see if that will fix it.
I know if I run an RUU i wont lose s-off but what would i need to do to get back to having twrp and meanbean again.
I have already done a nandroid backup.
My Hboot is 1.12.111
Also do I have to run the RUU for 3.16 since I updated or can I use the one for 3.15.
There is no RUU for 3.16 yet. Have you tried a different ROM, or perhaps a clean install of Mean Bean?
The advice is free....the bandwidth, not so much
Yea i forgot to mention that. The clean install was the first thing I tried to do. I was hoping I would be able to use the ruu from 3.15 and then just nadroid back. but im not sure if thats possible. I do have the older hboot though

All you would have to do is flash a recovery and then flash a custom rom.. I was wondering the same thing while back.. I was s-off flashed ruu and was still s-off.. Then all i did was flash twrp over and whatever rom and your golden:good:
Awesome will try right now.

I was doing some testing before I actually went ahead and did this and tried to make sure I can flash the latest twrp from fastboot before doing this.
I get the error message
writing 'recovery'... FAILED (remote: partition is not allowed to be flushed!)
I am S-Off with lazy panda
I was only able to flash the old 2.1.8 twrp through the bootloader but that one doesnt work with the latest touchpanel drivers.
Anyone know where to get a bootloader zip for twrp that 2.4.1 or above
Or how to fix my error.
Verdammt said:
What I did, and I hope I can explain it so it makes sense, is I downloaded one of the recovery's that was already a zip. I used root explorer to extract the text file that was inside. I renamed the openrecovey-2.4.0.0.ing file to recovery.img. I used root explorer to zip the text file I extracted earlie and the recovery.img file. I used Zip Signer, free in the play store, to sign the newly created zip. I renamed the zip and put it into the root of my external sd card and it updated just fine.

OK I found a solution.
I followed the instructions from Verdammt
and I was able to create a zip I was able to flash through the bootloader.
I have included the zip I made here this will install TWRP 2.4.2
is anyone is interested.
Ok that was really weird.
I downloaded the RUU for 3.15 from unlimited IO and it wouldnt flash it gave me an error message.
So I went ahead and downloaded the RUU for 3.15 the exe version and that also gave me an error message.
I put my phone in fastboot and tried flashing again. This time it flashed but after the reboot everything was exactly how it was before nothing changed. All my information and apps were on the phone and all my settings were in place.
So I finally took the RUU.zip from unlimited io and renamed to PJ75IMG.zip and placed on the root of my sdcard.
This finally flash and also updated my hboot and locked it, but im still s-off.
So I was able to flash the previous zip i attached here to get twrp back and just restored by nandroid.
Still no accelerometer but thanks to everyone for the help.
I had the same problem..the sensors are busted.

Old relocked, s-on rezound, not sure if on stock rom

A long time ago I rooted my phone, and I think I installed a new ROM on it.
Some time after that I decided I just wanted everything back to stock, so I took off root and re-locked the phone. (In hboot my phone says s-on and **relocked**)
As of late I have the need to get some kind of tethering app working so I was trying to unlock and root my phone again. The way I saw to do it was to use this link http://unlimited.io/jb_vigor.htm
I went ahead and set up my laptop to dual boot into Ubuntu, and have all the other prereqs done, but I'm not sure if I ever went back to the stock ROM on my rezound.
I followed the instructions on this page http://www.androidpolice.com/2012/08/15/exclusive-download-full-ruu-build-4-03-605-2-for-the-htc-rezound/
But received this an error saying "hboot main version is older, update failed"
I'd like to think I'm pretty capable with this stuff but I'll be honest, I'm not exactly sure where this leaves me.

boot into TWRP recovery, press install, find the file, Swipe to confirm flash.
Then You can install a rom the same way. Just remember since you are S-on, extract the Boot.img from the rom and Place in your fastboot folder,
and fastboot flash it or it will not boot.
"fastboot flash boot boot.img"
If you want a rom just to tether with, any Sense rom should work.

Looking in the stock RUU I downloaded there is no Boot.img, and there is no kernel folder (I found the directions here http://androidforums.com/rezound-all-things-root/499172-how-manually-flash-roms.html#post3933400 ) The only thing I want to do is tether. Do I need s-off for that? The only reason I'm loading up this RUU (or ROM, not sure which it is) is so I can have the stock ROM so I can use the JuopunutBear S-OFF so I can tether. I should actually google s-off vs s-on, I really don't know the difference. Does s-off just mean rooted?
Also, I really appreciate all your help. There's no way I would have been able to figure this out on my own. Thanks.

Ok, I'll try to help best I can. Hopefully one of the more experienced folks can chime in too as they'll probably be way more helpful. I've got a couple guesses, but need to know a bit more. Please know that I'm only providing my best guesses as I haven't run into this problem.
What firmware version were you on when you tried rumrunner? It sounds like you already had an unlocked bootloader and s-off... through moonshine. Did you end up with a locked bootloader? If so, how? You mentioned that you went back to sense 5. What method? Did you ruu back to a stock rom or just flash one of the Custom/stock ROMs.
Here is one possible option. I would suggest reading through the thread thoroughly before diving in...
- Go back to 100% stock with locked bootloader and s-on: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2293919
Then make sure you've taken any OTA updated to get to 3.06.605.4 and you should be able to use rumrunner.

The reason the thing is failing is because he already has a unlocked bootloader with soff. I don't know why he is trying to unlock something that is already unlocked. All he needs to do is download something like superuser or flash a custom rom with root built into it.

10-4. That's kinda what I thought too, but figured I'd try to confirm by asking a few questions. I have seen a few people get stuck with s-off but a locked bootloader if they goof up the process trying to go back to 100% stock. Thought I'd ask the questions just in case this is what he did.
Ok, I would like to keep the Stock Android, but would like to have root access.
I an unsure how to gain root access with out turning S-ON.
I could follow that and turn S-ON again,
But if you have another method of gaining ROOT with out flashing a custom ROM,
I would be grateful for your assistance.
Sorry for any confusion on that,
I spent 10hrs trying to figure this out yesterday,
it was necessary to put down and look at another day.
I have tried downloading superuser and supersu from the play store, neither give me access to root
However I have looked on your forums since you suggested simply flashing another rom already with root access - Thanks for that btw
this post shows the full version, but has odex and deodex, well deodex is pulled, may i ask what the difference is?

I will flash the odex one now and see what happens, thanks again I needed a fresh look at this I guess.

You must already have a superuser app to install one from the play store. Flash a superuser zip from recovery. That will put both the app and the required binaries in place.
Yo this is a random question if I go back to stock 2.06 soff and rooted will rumrunner update me or what?

From what I have learned so far, running rumrunner when you are already S-OFF will net you a FAILED message. if your DNA is already S-OFF then feel free to flash whatever ROM you want.. well sorta, make sure it's for the DNA, and flash at your own risk.
I took the OTA after achieving S-OFF with moonshine and it removed my root access... now I am in this boat where I want to regain root.
I have finally finished downloading the zip from: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2560010
But I have no idea how to flash it, step by step instructions would be helpful since this is my first flash and I have yet to figure it out. I have tried fastboot flash zip but that didn't work, and I am unfamilar with this....
The FAQ here: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2188944
is of no help unfortunately....
I found some Instructions that tell you to boot into recovery, but when I try to boot into recovery all I get is a RED ! and Triangle above a screen. like something went wrong :/
Start by downloading ROM and the patch and copy the file to the SD card’s root in your device.
Reboot your phone into recovery mode. For this, power off your device and restart it keeping the volume down key pressed. Your phone will be booted into bootloader fastboot mode.
In the Recovery mode, use the ‘Power ’key to select and to navigate use the ‘Volume’ keys.
Use ‘backup and restore’ option to create a backup.
Now perform three steps in a row: first wipe data//factory reset, then wipe cache and lastly wipe dalvik cache accessing the advanced menu.
Now install zip from your sdcard, then select ROMs zip file you copied to your phone and choose zip.
Redo it for Patch file once you are done with ROM installation.
At the end, reboot your phone.
Lovely I didn't have a recovery installed, using the tools: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2219175
I installed the TWRP 2.5.0.0 recovery,
THEN I was able to enter recovery and flash the ROM.
WOW what a experience, this has been.

well glad you got it sorted out.... it can be quite a lot to take in if you have never done anything like that before. but once you have done it a few times it is much easier to do and remember especially if you run into problems.
cheers
and happy customizing.

Rumrunner doesn't update nothing. Try asking your question again.

if you want the 3.06.605.4 update (aka 4.2.2) and you are already s-off - and want STOCK no root: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2570548
if you want root to go with that: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2560010
if you are stock 2.06 you can take the OTA even if you are s-off, but if you have root, you will loose root taking the ota.

if you want to revert to stock, since i didn't flash the second till i flashed the first, i would suggest that you do that, if you want to go with another custom rom, follow it's instructions, if it asks for a specific starting point, aka stock 4.2.2 then flash the first one then flash the custom one.
