i accidentally clicked on the Lawmo Lock 1234 in the API menu while trying to sim lock. When i reboot phone and try to use it, it asks me for a password to unlock it. Cant get past this screen, does anyone know the default code? already tried 1234.
Two main problems going on here. 1) This is the Evo 4G LTE forums, and 2) we use Sprint. Therefore, we don't use SIM cards. Not sure if you'll be able to find much help here.

sorry for posting in the wrong forum, i could not find the forum for the phone i am having problems with "HTC Evo Design 4G"
does this phone go by another name? and yes this is a sprint phone but it has a sim card slot and originally i was just trying to unlock it for domestic sim card use.

Yes, I remembered that there isn't a forum for it after I thought about it. I also forgot that the Design 4g was released for Sprint. What surprises me is that it still has a sim card slot.
Are you rooted? If you are, you can simply boot into recovery and make a nandroid backup, then a factory reset (from recovery, NOT from bootloader). After that, use Titanium Backup to restore your data that you lost (TB is able to extract data from nandroids, too).
This info might help you in your situation, as well as it might not. I am not familiar with your issue, but any suggestions are helpful at this point.

Not sure if you know, but TB is an android app. It can only be used in android. That's why I said to make a nandroid backup in recovery, wipe data, then reboot into Android. After the initial setup, install TB, and then restore backup from nandroid while booted into Android using TB.
If you use TWRP to restore the backup, the password will be restored as well.

ok sorry for the epic noobness but how do i factory reset without using twrp? is there an option?
i have already factory reset off of twrp and your correct the lock is still in place. ive searched everywhere and came up with very little on this
Lawmo lock 1234.
Actually, I wanted toy to use TWRP. Have you tried wiping everything, and flashing a new rom?

PH44IMG will only be seen/applied via hboot/bootloader, not by recovery/TWRP. so you wiped everything, flashed new ROM and it's STILL asking you for PW?! Is it a screen unlock password, or PW for something else (i.e. provider/data)?

Yes, you can indeed restore from nandroid backups made in TWRP and CWM. This is a TB Pro feature. It's in the regular dropdown menu.

Hi,
I accidentally updated to Gingerbread on my Thunderbolt, and I forgot I rooted my phone, by the time I remembered it already had a blue android and an explaimation mark. So I did some random crap, and probley made it worse.
First I did the vol down power thing went to factory reset it loaded CWM v4.0.1.4
I wiped cache patition
Dalvick cache
and Battery stats
then I wiped data/factory reset
It loaded like it was brand new everything seemed fine till I updated and did same thing so I wiped the data again and now it keeps auto updating so I have to keep my internet off
and it's annoying as crap
I'm a noob so I don't understand stuff
should I go ahead with this guide:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1009423
I couldn't understand it and if your not rooted why would you unroot I don't get that part...
Do I still have root?
What does flash exactly mean?
Current Specs (I don't know what to give but I'll guess)

Top says
Mecha XD S-OFF
HBOOT 6.04.1002
eMMC-boot

(tell me if you need any other info)
Should I upgrade to gingerbread any way
Download a customer rom, put it on your sd card and flash it in CWM. I'm running BAMF forever and like it. There are plenty of roms to choose from. This should stop the update. After running the rom if you decide you like stock better you can flash the stock rom back and take the update. You will loose root.
Pull the update off the SD. It will stop flashing it

And how do you forget you rooted your phone?
If pulling the update off the sd what do i need to look for

1) The phone will not boot all the way up?
2) is the recovery stock or CWM?
3) do you have a recent back up made?
4) do you have s-off?

1. it boots up all the way, turns off after 10-20s each time, regardless of what action i'm taking
2. cwm recovery
3. no backups recent or not
4. i don't know if i 'have it' but when i load hboot the status is 's-off'
Does it crash or shut off? Maybe a hardware problem?
It powers down the normal way.

If you clear the cache, the shutdowns will stop.
But the OTA will download again, and in a few days you will have to repeat the process.
A custom ROM fixed me, but now the same thing poped up.
May go back to stock .... trying xdabolt, but in the process lost my data.

What am I looking for on the SD card to remove?
sounds like you still have s-off. Anything you are trying to save like app data is gone if you do not have a back up. I would down load a customer rom or even one of the rooted stock versions with the latest OTA and flash that with CWM recovery. Be sure to clear cache and dalvick wipe first when you flash it. There are RUU you could use to return it to stock, but you will lose root. I'm running BAMF forever 1.0.9 and like it. Play around with some roms and if you don't like them use a RUU to restore you back to stock. Most important is make sure you read up on things first.
Hey I endded up just unrooting using this video
(can't show video url)
(Search how to unroot on youtube you should see it by nat3mil and I think that's only if you have revolutionary)
and I guess the video would work too.
If you restored to factory settings using power and vol down buttons and wiped the data in the revolutionary thing, and then followed the video...
phones working now and the video's idiot-proof

unrooting is good and all, but if that happens again, just look around for the newest ruu and find a rooted version. most ruu get rooted that day... heck i had 2.11.605.5 rooted b4 verizon released it (the 2nd leak, the one WITH working vm notifications) thanks to eris of course. then you'd be up to date, stock, rooted... all you'd have to do is wipe dalvik, cache, and system... keep the data (if coming from sense 2.1 rom) and you'd be good.
i don't mess with sense 2.1/3.0 hybrid or 3.0 roms anymore, for this very reason. a ton of incompatibilities between the roms and framework, causing you to have to wipe data when switching... what a pita! i haven't wiped data in months. keep the data always to make life easier...
if you have problems, use clockwork's "fix permissions" and reboot. problem not solved? then retry rom installation WIPING EVERYTHING, then at least you tried to keep your stuff. titanium backup is great for backing up apps + data, so you can import the data back when you're stable on the new rom... just restore the apps + data for the necessary apps, and app only for the stuff that doesn't mnatter... never restore system apps + data for roms with severely different basebands or from completely different roms. unrooting won't be necessary next time
I had my phone half rooted, OTA came and I selected to defer, well I forgot and now I have the security warning.I tried flashing through the bootloader on my SD card the stock file and I still have the security warning. I use my phone as my internet source so it's been a big PITA. The phone starts, goes to 1x, then 4G, then restarts over and over.
Won't load into recovery, won't factory reset, using HBOOT USB and the command prompt the device isn't recognized.

If the phones rooted you can prolly get into recovery VIA hboot.
If its not rooted you can prolly find a ota ruu and flash it in hboot. U can do that if its rooted too but ull lose root. Or if its a locked s off there's methods to roll back to factory and turn s on. And yes delete the orig update off the card

so when i want to sleep i power off my gsm evo 3d, last night i powered it off as usual, and now it turns on and stays on (htc quietly brilliant) screen and never goes from that
i have s-off and rooted and hboot 1.53.0007 and arabic ICS, i have done rooting and stuff for about 20 days, it was just normal until this morning
help me please, i know a factory reset may be useful, but i don't want to lose my data
thanks in advance
If you can boot into recovery, do a backup to save your data. Wipe install Rom again. Then do an advance restore and only restore the data partition.

What coal686 was trying to say is, do a backup of the rom, boot directly to recovery, then make a back up of your existing rom. Then re flash the rom and do a full wipe after the rom boots go through the setup. Go again to recovery and within recovery under restore you will see advance restore, click on that, you know see data restore push that and all your apps, email, apn etc will be restored back on your phone

I've tried to install the LiquidSmooth ICS v1.5 rom and have ended up with no service and data several times. I use rom manager and delete cash. I've also tried Clockworkmod with the same results.
One thing that I was wondering is why I cant access the bootloader menu when I reset. I see the options, but then it blows by and questions me if I want to update or not(this is how I get back to a usable phone after failed rom install attempts). I dont remember how I rooted this phone back when it first came out. I'm just wondering if that has anything to do with my problems.

When you go through that update it brings you back to that firmware? If so it means there is an ruu on the root of your sd.
Also when flashing a new Rom you need to format everything, not just cache. That's why you're having issues.
I also recommend using 4EXT recovery

Your were right about the SD card. I copied the LiquidSmooth ICS v1.5 MR2 rom to a spare card and I was able to access the boot loader menu. I went into ClockworkMod Recovery v5.8.0.2, wipe data, wipe cash and installed the rom... Unfortunately I still have no service or data.

When installing a new ROM, you should always go through your recovery. I use 4EXT, and it works great. To get to your recovery, ensure that your sdcard is free of any PG05IMG files in the root directory. You should always create a nandroid backup, wipe/format to factory defaults, install your ROM, then wipe cache and dalvik cache. You can then install any flashable zips on top of that.

I think i might have got to comfortable with my phone and possibly screwed something up in the process.
I recently have been Installing and Removing various ROMS on my phone so I can find one I am happy with and stick to as a DAILY.
I recently deleted from the SD Card all the folders in it besides DCIM, MUSIC, and my own Media. I figured its just an SD Card even if I removed it the phone should still operate. But I haven't touched anything Internally on the phone itself. Just always making CLEAN installs before installing ROMS under Amon Ra WIPE ALL. Which it skips my SD.
So for some reason now I have no Mobile Network on my phone it says its Disconnected. It also shows Full bars but with a TRIANGLE
over it now. I want to go back to regular data. I have a Nandroid Backup of my HTC Rezounds FACTORY ICS Build. While it help if I reverted to that? and started over with the ROM I like?
Have you tried long pressing on Mobile Network in settings and seeing if you it shows LTE/CDMA?
It does, and it is selected.
Take a look at this.
I found a way to take it off of ROAMING. In system select I switched the CDMA ROAMING MODE from Automatic B (I think it was) to Home.
I have a feeling it has something to do with a rom I installed last night. MIUI it might have change some options in the phone internal system
to thinking its not in the US. Im running stock ICS HTC at the moment from my NAN backup of Amon Ra. But at the moment its showing FULL SIGNAL BARS
& then seconds later no Signal Bars with an X over it. The verizon wireless rep told me that I was connecting to their SERVERS. I can also make calls but only under Automatic B settings in Roaming.
Im not sure what to do at this point. I wish there was someway I could reset the phone SIGNAL OR DATA OR CONNECTION SETTINGS or radio or something. o DEFAULT. I even reset back to my NANDROID Backup and WIPED all before I did that and I was still having the same problem. It doesnt make sense to me unless its a TOWER near by that is Out of order.

Or reflash your ROM. If you can do a dirty flash you can just flash over it and I think you won't lose your set up. That should restore any necessary folders/files if that's the issue.
Oh! What about this... Format it in recovery or via your phone in settings. Since there's that option it should put whatever is needed on there.
If you can't tell, I'm just brainstorming here... I don't know what the files and folders are but seems to me formatting it from within the phone should work or why would you be able to do it?
EDIT: I just reread your post where you posted the pic. I guess you probably have more issues than just the ext sd. Probably best to RUU it and get back to stock and start from scratch. Then you know it's all good and clean.
Thanks

Where can I find the right GLOBAL RUU for my phone?
So I flash the RUU twice one after another. Delete the zip? and Boot and do a factory reset?
I would appreciate any links you can forward me to for the Global RUU!
:victory:Thanks in advanced.
It used to be here:
http://www.androidpolice.com/2012/0...ull-ruu-build-4-03-605-2-for-the-htc-rezound/
But I just read today that all those mirrors are taken down.
Check the Developer section in the Vigor Shipped RUU thread.
Here's the link from that thread:
http://www.androidfiles.org/ruu/?dir=Vigor
You don't need to factory reset after running the RUU, it puts it all back to factory stock anyway. Relock before you run it:
fastboot oem lock
And after it's done you'll need to unlock again and flash a recovery, root, then flash custom rom.

The funny thing is I have a COMPLETE Nandroid Backup of my phone even before I ever flashed my first ROM! (Before this even happened)
I went into Amon Ra and did a CLEAN WIPE. I wiped everything in the internal storage it was completely blank (I check it under My Computer)
I then restored my Nandroid Backup of my STOCK ICS from Verizon and HTC and Im still getting the same error.

The funny thing is I have a COMPLETE Nandroid Backup of my phone even before I ever flashed my first ROM! (Before this even happened)
I went into Amon Ra and did a CLEAN WIPE. I wiped everything in the internal storage it was completely blank (I check it under My Computer)
I then restored my Nandroid Backup of my STOCK ICS from Verizon and HTC and Im still getting the same error.
"I found a way to take it off of ROAMING. In system select I switched the CDMA ROAMING MODE from Automatic B (I think it was) to Home.

Are you S-On or Off? If S-On, your nandroid may have missed a file that is necessary that can only be replaced by flashing a RUU. Just throwing ideas against the wall.
If I remember correctly, a nandroid from S-On can't touch the kernel and coming from MIUI there may be files that are missing or modified.
In that case, you may be able to pull the stock boot.IMG from the RUU you were on and push that to restore the files.

I am S-On. Its so weird I cant wrap my head around it.
Another funny thing is I've before restored my Nandroid backup when I needed it with a ROM I had that was Unstable and it was working like it should I was back to normal.
Im thinking it has something to do with their towers in my area. But I called a friend that has Verizon as well and he seems to be handling alright.
I just dont get it. Im going to try that RUU flash and see if that works after I eat dinner and possibly relock my phone.

But I just read today that all those mirrors are taken down.
Check the Developer section in the Vigor Shipped RUU thread.
Here's the link from that thread:
http://www.androidfiles.org/ruu/?dir=Vigor
You don't need to factory reset after running the RUU, it puts it all back to factory stock anyway. Relock before you run it:
fastboot oem lock
And after it's done you'll need to unlock again and flash a recovery, root, then flash custom rom.

The android police website did have the RUU files but they are .zip only to flash in recovery they where PH98IMG.zip files.
So im not sure what to do.
hey
Im trying to run the RUU .exe files but the arent executing. I double click the .exe files but nothing happens. I locked my phone so now I dont have access to the bootloader =( I feel like throwing this thing in a river:crying: at this point.

Quoted the wrong post this is for the zip files.
You should only have to shorten the name to PH98IMG. All the RUUs I've seen are some longer name (usually the name of the site hosting them_PH98IMG.)
Then just place it on the root of your external SD and boot into Hboot.
Sent from my ADR6425LVW using xda premium
Are you still working on this?
You should be able to RUU from a zip file. Just make sure it's named PH98IMG.zip, put it on your card and then boot into hboot. It should find that file and run it. Let it run through a few times, do its thing and it should reboot when it's done.
I came back here cuz I just ran across this post from another thread:

Could it be because I don't have an SDcard? My phone doesn't read SDcards anymore, so I'm using only the internal storage.
Thanks again!

So that guy is using his phone normally without the external card. What happens if you boot up with the external card out of the phone?
I think it has something to do with the hardware on my phone that started not functioning. I did try going into recovery wiping the whole phone wiping my sd card and then placing the zip file in my sd card. I then booted into H boot and from ADB locked my phone rebooted and then it started to read the zip file and reinstalled to factory reset. I let it reinstall the files let it do its thing it restarted a couple of times reinstalled everything needed went back into the lock screen and was still having the same issue till now. But it's okay because I called Verizon Wireless spoke with him on the phone and I still have my extended warranty on the phone and they concluded that it was a hardware issue so I got to replace my phone for free lol

Although the problem wasnt solved I still appreciate everyone's help on the matter.

Go to phone dialer and put *#*#3646#*#* then go to phone information. Look for a drop down menu and make sure its on CDMA/LTE Only (or anything really with CDMA and LTE in it, that specific one may not show up on your list depending on what ruu your on.) That changes the specifics of how the radio operates incoming connections. Set your data settings back to HOME and turn off roaming. Lemme know if that works.

i am trying to root a friends htc evo 4g lte, and finally got the bootloader unlocked, then started the root process. i got to the point of the custom recovery, where you mount the internal storage, but it some how has been deleted, and it is asking me for a decrypt password, to unlock the internal storage data, and that i only have 30 attempts before it will be lost. according to her, she has never setup any accounts or passwords on her phone, so i am wondering if there is a factory password, or what else I should do, as the root process was in the middle, and not complete? please get me an answer to this, as she uses this phone for her business, and needs it immediately. i have samsung phones, and the root is much easier, so i didn't expect all of this. any help is extremely appreciated.

Unlocking the bootloader wipes the phone so any internal data I believe isn't there anymore. Reboot back to fastboot and try reflashing the recovery. Also HBOOT info would probably help. Just keep calm. It'll be okay.

if this was my phone i would be a lot calmer, but this is her only phone, and she uses it for business. the samsung rooting is a million times easier, and without a single problem. i have done dozens of them, and NEVER had any issues. i don't understand why htc makes you do the bootloaded, which is a monster process all to its own, and then puts you through so many trials and tribulations to complete the root. when i root a samsung, all the information is still thereso i assumed it would be the same on any android device. as you can imagine, i am bugging to lose her all her info.
ok, so i reflashed recovery using the cmd prompt, and it flashed ok. then i loaded supersu. no problem. but then when i try to load the stock htc rom, it says it can't find md5, and reloads into a white screen with green htc on it. that's it. it goes no further. anything you can tell me to help get this thing up and running?

the hboot is 2.10.0000
and the rom is: Download 3.16.651.3 Stock Firmware with root for HTC Evo 4G LTE (Flash with TWRP after factory reset)
when i try to flash it, it says, "no md5 file". then just goes to the white screen and stays there.
but i am willing to flash any rom to get it up and running. i have no problems getting into bootloader or recovery.

man, i don't even know what ruu is? we don't have that with samsung phones. when i wiped the partition, i just tried to load the twrp and then the rom.
so i'm guessing you want me to flash: Novitious_Jewel_4.3_Sense5.5_N1.zip - 831.88 MB
do i just flash it like any other rom, or do i have to do something special for this ruu?
It's a normal rom but you saying HBOOT 2.10.0000 tells me that someone updated it. Before you started the process was the phone Android version 4.3?

i think it was. and yes, it was upgraded today. i spent quite a while unlocking the bootloader. that took forever. then i tried to root it. but had a problem right in the middle of that. when i went to mount the int sd card, it said nothing was there. then it told me i needed a decrypt password. so i was told to wipe everything. so i did. then reloaded twrp and supersu. that is where i am now. man, i just want to get this thing up and running again, no matter what rom or anything else. this is not my phone, and she uses it for business. she needs it as soon as possible, and i know so very little about htc.

Well since it was updated you need a rom that is built on the new layout. The link I have you is for a rom that should work fine for you. It is sense 5.5 and personally I love it. Hopefully your friend will too. Just dl and flash. Also you need a modified twrp recovery from Captain_Throwback.

Either of the twrps listed in this thread should work. Fastboot flash recovery nameofrecovery.img. personally I would rename the recovery to either twrp or recovery and make sure it is in the same folder as the fastboot files. Or if you are s-off put in a zip fodder after renaming to recovery.img

ok, i got them. i'll go give it a shot. i really appreciate all the help, i'll hit your thanks bar many times.
update: i hit your thanks bar for every post you made in this thread. thanks again. hope it all works.
man, i can't believe i went through all the things i went through, and i am right back in the same boat i was this afternoon. i renamed and flashed the custom recovery. i then flashed the rom, and when it looked like it was doing everything right, and starting to load the rom, it took me right back to the prompt "Decrypt Storage". type password to decrypt storage.
30 attempts remain before device data is deleted.
how can i get past this thing? i wiped everything there was to wipe on this phone.

i got so mad about the decrypt thing popping back up, that i went into wipe and did a full "format data". now the decrypt message is gone, but the phone will not recognize the internal sd card. the only place it shows up is in advanced wipe area, and i can wipe it individually, but in the other areas of the phone, it doesn't show up. for instannce, if i try to usb mount, there is no internal card, so it will not show anything. so how do i get this internal sd card back? i can't flash anything right now because it isn't recognized.
two other questions, should the int sd card be formatted in fat32 or exfat? and is the rom you gave me odexed or deodexed?
UPDATE: so i finally decided to use the root folder to flash the older twrp, and it worked. then i was able to see the internal folder again. so i tried to reload the supersu, and rom you suggested, but when it loaded up, it took me right back to the "decrypt storage" message. so i tried to reload the newer twrp, you suggested, and the int sd card is not recognized again. so i am guessing i have a lot of miss matched software on this phone, and maybe that is the reason i am getting this message. any idea how to determine exactly which ones are out of place? in the mean time, i googled the decrypt storage message, and many people have been through this also, but i haven't seen a fix. so i will go back to your friends site, and try the other twrp for now.
UPDATE2: i just decided to relock the bootloader, and ruu it back to original. i hope this works. i was able to relock the bootloader, and i am in the middle of ruu'ing it now.
UPDATE3: yeah, i've got it back up. so glad to get this thing running again. i wish i had of understood what you meant by ruu before, i would have saved myself a lot of grief.
the fact that, while setting things up for the first time, this phone will not let you skip accounts, and just get into your phone is crap. you should be able to set the accounts up at your whim. and even if you try to set a new account up with htc, the code the phone gives you, will not work on the htc site. even if you keep generating a new code on the phone, the site will not take it. what the hell is that? this entire experience with this phone makes me appreciate having a samsung much, much, much more than ever before. htc needs to get their head out of their ass, and stop making everything so difficult.
Based on a quick read on this thread, the problem appears to have been an incomplete update to the new layout. The HBOOT got updated, but the image doesn't appear to have been flushed again to update the data and system partitions fully, and then the ROM booted to ensure everything was initialized properly. That would be the way to fix it going forward.
Also, you can skip through all of the account setup stuff in the ROM - I'm not sure what you mean about that .
