I have this: d-h.st/SUc version of TWRP installed (2.6.3.0).
I was following this video: youtube: v=OANqKp0tguE
After the ROM and GAPP installed I rebooted the phone and then the "HTC quietly brilliant" white logo screen looped infinitely.
Other things tried:
At some point after I got back into TWRP recovery I hit factory reset which wiped my SDCard and made it unmountable.
I fixed the unmount issue by formatting the drive on my computer (Win7 x64). I, again, loaded the CM11 Kitkat and the GAPPS back on the SDCard and tried to re-install it.
It seemed to install successfully but it said at the end "Unable to mount to '/cache' ".
Rebooted, infinite boot loop again. Went back in to recovery and wiped.
Found the stock rooted ROM, installed, and booted back in to the default OS.
So my questions is, how do I install Kitkat properly to the device? Or any custom ROM? Any help or advice would be greatly appreciated!
Thank you.
You have to install the kernel separately from the ROM since you're S-on. Hit the top link in my sig for more info. Also, make sure you're using the right recovery (the one posted in the CM11 thread, not on the TWRP site).
You should look at using the Rumrunner method to gain S-off on your phone.

Wow that first link is so informative! Thank you
Is there a significant risk of turning s-on to off? Does it make loading ROMs easier if I have S-Off?
I assume with my version I can only use rumrunner?

You're welcome
"Significant risk" no. Risk, yes, but then again there is risk in everything in life. A little research and knowledge will help you have a better understanding of S-off versus S-on. It makes ROM flashing very simple, as all you have to do when S-off is flash the ROM zip once and that's it-no fooling with flashing the kernel separately, among other things. It allows a multitude of other things, also.
To answer your last question, yes, Rumrunner is the method you'll need to use being on the latest Hboot/firmware version.

I got rumrunner installed and working, tried installing CM11 Kitkat and everything went smooth and simple. Thank you!
You mentioned something about the TWRP, how do I know which version to get?
Use the version posted in the OP for the CM 11 thread.

Hi guys, I've searched the forums for days now and tried many recovery methods, all which end in failure.
Basically my Evo which is on cyanogenmod is stuck on the wrong kernel, and I now have zero reception.
I even tried going into sprint, but their tech told me the first step towards recovery is going to be installing the right kernel.before I can do anything or get service again. He even let me take a picture of the Kernel info on an EVO LTE in the store.
The method of HOW to install the right kernel is where I am completely at a loss and would appreciate help.
I believe I'm looking for Odin
Stock Kernel
Stock Rom
and the steps it takes to do it
I am rooted.
I have TWRP v.2.2.2.0
Here is what my Hboot looks like.

I have tried multiple RUU's which end in Failure and errors.
I've tried placing a stock recovery image and flashing it through Hboot.
UPDATE: someone told me I need to re-lock before I can flash a RUU.
so I re locked. and then ran an RUU and it finally completed successfully...
and now my phone has nothing but H boot.
no more TWRP
no more Rom
still have adb and electricity so if there is any way of saving my phone I'd appreciate any pointers.
UPDATE 2: after being stuck in fastboot only for the last 7 hours and trying all the recommended RUU's, I decided I'd try anything, so I re-did htc dev unlock.
I was then taken to my boot animation of cyanogen mod and nothing else.
I just rebooted into recovery and ::huzzah:: TWRP is still intact with 2 old backups of cyanogen mod.
I am going to be very careful of where I step next because all I've managed to do is dig myself deeper.
this is the one step forward in an otherwise downhill **** eating of grand magnitude.
I just read a google voicemail transcript for a video gig that I just lost because I never got the call.
I am thinking of installing the most stock rom I can, taking it into sprint, and claiming ignorance in hopes that they will just swap it out.
I'm now going to check if flashing the RUU_JEWEL_CL_JB_45_S_Sprint_WWE_3.15.651.16
got my reception back...
Here's to hoping!
Which ruu did you run? If an old ruu and you still have hboot 1.12, any time you flash a ROM the correct kernel will also be flashed in the process.
I've never used ruu before, but it seems weird to me that after RUU, there is no ROM on your phone.
Do you have an SD card and card reader and PC?
Also, your twrp version is very outdated.
Using fastboot, you should be able to fastboot flash recovery to update TWRP. If you're unsure how, om4 has a great guide in either the general or general sticky section.

Odin is the upgrade utility for Samsung, our equivalent is basically the HTC RUU packages. I would suggest re-running the ruu or running either 1.15 or 1.19 to restore the phone. If you want to continue using custom roms you should go to unlimited.io and follow the directions for soff

:what: Well... you can disregard that post about gaining s-off, that is a thing of the past now that you fully updated to the new baseband and hboot. If I might as (you don't have to answer as it doesn't really matter now) Why were you still s-on with hboot 1.12 in the first place??

Honestly I have no idea.
I rooted my phone like the 2nd day I had it.
I also had on OG evo that I had rooted the entire time I owned it.
I never learned about s-off. I just wanted CM10, tethering, and adfree.
This is the reason for all of this to begin with:
on CM10, I had working 3G, but also 4G here and there.
my connection would drop out all the time to zero, or 1x.
Still had bars though, just no mobile data.
oh yea I have an air rave, does that make this story more fun?
anyway.
After getting a different answer, literally every time I went into sprint and asked about 4G.
It's on! it's coming next month! we have a repeater just in this area! it's coming on next month!
I decided it was my phones fault and that I need it back to factory.
I even have backups named "dec 2012 LTE works" and "DONT **** THIS UP"
And now I am here. twrp and fastboot are the only things I can access now.
I'm thinking of taking it into sprint with a stock image flashed
and letting it bootloop no matter what they try.
It'll still say "relocked" "tampered though"
I guess unrooting is my best next option?
I'm so clueless it's probably pretty funny to some of you.
the latest RUU I flashed is RUU_JEWEL_CL_JB_45_S_Sprint_WWE_3.15.651.16_Radio_1.12.11.1119_NV_2.87_003_25007_release_299302_signed (1).exe
does this mean my kernel and radio are updated now?
Yes should be. But now you may have more problems now with the new hboot then you had to begin with. Hboot 2.09 has more security features.
Hey guys i gota semi bricked EVO LTE on the 3.16 SW i was wondering if anyone can help me fix. I tried to root it and thats what caused this issue. I did the bootloader unlocked, loaded TWRP recovery, then installed SU, then it wouldn't turn on, would only flash to sprint screen.
I have tried to to a full wipe / factory - didn't work
i have tried to load the 3.15 RUU - does not work (it just shows loading the rom forever)
i have tried to load it through fastboot via Ulimited.IO (it just freezes during the loading of the SW)
what else can i try? I seems like everytime the phone tries to take a ROM it will just not respond.
thanks
OK your on the latest firmware I think 3.16 and if your s-on that means you have the new touch panel driver which limits what ROMs will work on your device.
You need to download a ROM with a s-on installer included or pull the boot IMG from the ROM and flash via fast boot because you can't flash kernels easily when your S-ON .You also will need a rom that's compatible with the latest fw. AFAIK most of the sense ROMs will be good to go, I really don't know which ones cause I'm s-off and don't have the tp driver problem.
If you need more info there's s thread stickied in Q&A called "don't panic" that will answer most of questions
Once your up and running you should go about getting S-Off.

Looks like u need to unlock again. Use the same command as the last time
"Fast boot OEM unlock" or whatever it is. Flash twrp recovery thru fast boot. Once you have twrp installed flash a rooted ROM to gain root.

took your advice, re-unlocked it and installed TWRP recovery on it, and now i get recovery, but i cant use it because the touch screen does not work so i'm in the process of trying to find a CMW recovery instead and try to install a newer rom.

Do not use CMW. It was abandoned a long time ago for our phones. Something about it screwing up partitions. Install a new version of TWRP. 2.4 or higher. And Venom rom has an s-on installer for sure. Other roms might have one but I'm not sure which ones. Stay away from CMW.
The s-on installer is just an installer added to the ROM zip so that you don't have to flash the boot.img seperately. Just get a working version of TWRP and flash Venom (or other s-on friendly rom). That should work.

thanks guys so i got it working! i appreciate everyones help! I ended up loading a new TWRP recovery, and loading the new Meanbean and it works now.
I have one last question, does this mean i can only install roms compatible with 3.16 now? The only reason i went through all of this was because i wanted ICS on it. The new JB diag drivers dont work, and the only way i can make the diag drivers work is to downgrade to ICS. If i try to downgrade will i mess it up again?

Yes, you are stuck on 3.16 roms. Anything below and your touchscreen won't work. I highly recommend going for s-off. Makes everything so much easier. The only other option is to use babyracun from unlimited.io then ruu to 3.15. But if you're doing that you might as well go for s-off.

Do steps 6-9 on unlimited io. That will leave your phone at stock 3.15. Then go and find out what facepalm requires and continue with that.
Hello All,
I rooted my phone a long time ago and went from the stock rooted rom to MeanRom ICS. I then wanted to try other roms. I use TWRP 2.6 and tried everything to install a new rom. A friend suggested that I S-off my phone to see if that would work. I then tried Moonshine to S-off my phone. Now the phone wont boot at all. I can still get in the recovery and bootloader, but that's all I can do.

Do you have a backup you can restore from recovery? If so, install your backup to get you up and running again. Otherwise, you can mount USB storage in recovery and copy a ROM from your computer to your phone, then flash the ROM. Remember since you're S-on you'll need to install the kernel separately from the ROM. Most Sense ROM's like MeanBean and Viper have a kernel installer built in; just follow the OP for whatever ROM you wish to install.
Also, you must either use Facepalm or Dirty Racun to gain S-off on your phone. Moonshine only works for those on Hboot 2.09/software version 3.16.
You can find links to Dirty Racun & Facepalm in the link in my sig.

All that green text means is that the bootloader is looking for a PJ75IMG file on your external SD card. There isn't one normally there unless you're updating firmware. It's normal.

I load the backup, but the screen goes black after the initial HTC boot screen. I don't know what's going on.
I've tried CM 10.1 Nightly, Ubuntu touch WIP, and a few others. Everything seems to do just fine while installing, and then I reboot to a boot loop or staring at the HTC boot screen for a while.
When I rooted my phone, I went from CM 9 to MeanRom. After I went to MeanRom it acted kind of funky. I've not been successful at loading any new roms after that. I think I forced something that the phone didn't like onto it and now its stuck with it.
Try flashing MeanBean. Make sure you wipe properly before you flash it.

Should I go for the newest one? (3.09 or and older version)
The latest version should be just fine. The rom version doesn't change much aside from the fact that 3.09 has the latest changes and bug fixes.

In addition, make sure you follow Mikey's instructions on flashing the ROM since you're S-on for the time being. His ROM has a kernel installer that requires an extra step to install the kernel separately from the ROM on phones that are S-on.

Use Facepalm. It's Windows friendly. I think Bigdaddy619 or another user even has everything packaged up nice & neat so it's ready to run. I've personally never used it but I hear it's quick & painless. Make sure you Nandroid your current setup before you get started.

Sorry to bother you guys again, but it says device not found when I enter adb reboot bootloader. Am I doing something wrong? I do beleive I have all the drivers. Sorry for being a pain, still learning about this stuff.

So while in process of s-off once I got to the part when you "fastboot oem rebootRUU" that went through. But right after trying to flash a zip im stuck looking at the blk HTC screen. I was given a "<Failed <remote: 99 unknown fail>". Now its just stuck.
I've been trying to figure out what happened but just have no where else to turn. Please lend a hand.
I think I already know the answer to this question, but what version is your firmware? Just for your knowledge, there hasn't been an RUU since ICS, or maybe the first release of JB. So, odds are, you flashed the wrong RUU.
But good news, you *might* not be bricked. Have you tried rebooting? This really your only option, anyway. Try to get into the bootloader. Flash a new recovery if the RUU has already wiped it, and flash a compatible rom.
Please also list your bootloader info.

It's not a full RUU in the normal sense. It's the one for Facepalm.
To the OP, did you gain SuperCID prior to running those commands? If not, then the process will fail. You should simply be able to hold the power button down & reboot your phone. Also, as stated above, list your device info so we can make sure you're using the right S-off exploit.

So I did get the phone into the bootloader. I was trying to do the rumrunner s-off but being I was so damn tired lastnight I ended up forgetting a step. I am currently unlocked and rooted. I also somehow deleted my backup like a idiot and wiped the os. So I'm stuck from this point where I need to go.
So where we stand as of now:
bootloader unlocked
rooted
twrp 2.6.3.0
firmware 3.17.651.4
hboot 2.09
radio 1.13.11.0830

Happens to all of us. Don't worry about wiping the OS. Look for Captain Throwback's stock rooted rom, and flash a custom kernel along with it, like the Dirty MAC kernel or Arc reactor. Doesn't matter which one...rumrunner just needs a custom kernel.

After you flash these, then reboot into Android, set your phone to stay awake during charge Settings-->Display and Buttons, and also set SuperSU to automatically grant root access (open the app, swipe right twice, and scroll down a little). This way, you don't have to touch your phone. If you touch it, the process will fail....even to unlock the phone to grant root access. And of course, turn on USB debugging in Developer Options.
After you do all of these, then run the exploit.

This is odd to me, because I ran rumrunner at least 3 times using just my stock ROM (no custom kernel or anything), and it worked fine every time. I guess the new version of rumrunner added some limitations to make it more generic.
whats bothering me is that even after i check the MD5, it keeps failing to install capt zip. think maybe i can just use adb to push the zip file? just not sure how to word the command right to get it to load

No, don't. If it fails, don't force it. Reflash TWRP 2.6.3 (not the kit kat version), and try to flash again.
@Captain_Throwback: Yes, I didn't remember needing a custom kernel when I used Dirty Racun, but rumrunner needs it now. Keep in mind that rumrunner isn't for this device exclusively. Maybe that's the purpose of the custom kernel.
i'd wager you're trying to flash files that aren't recovery flashable, then lying to the people who are trying to help you.
i got it running again using capt stock rooted rom. attempting rumrunners s-off again now that i got this part working.
Are you using a custom kernel?

now s-off and updated rumrunners hboot. now onto flashing roms finally.
Thank you all that helped me with my stupidness and not reading directions.
Last post. I can't say it enough that you must read read read when it comes to directions. If I would of followed directions as directed I would of never ran into the issues I did. It was a learning experience.
One thing for sure that I took from this experience is adb and directions. I've learned a lot in the last 24hrs alone.
I'd like to thank Capain_throwback and everyone in the irc for the help and you all here that assisted me.

Just bought this refurbished phone and flashed it to pageplus. Got every thing working on the phone with the stock rom (4.1.1)
Unlocked the boot loader, rooted. But did not do take the necessary steps for S-OFF.
The current status is as below
s-on
hboot-1.15.000
twrp recovery installed
Now when i flashed a CM 11/10.2 roms from the below link with the provided gapps i got stuck on the splash screen on reboot.
http://forum.xda-developers.com/show....php?t=2151105
In the process i erased my stock rom back up too.
I did wipe the dalvik, data and system before flashing the rom. I tried the CM 11 and 10.2 roms and their gapps from the above link.
Not sure what i missed while flashing.
Now i am able to get to twrp screens but not sure what to do to get past the splash screen when i reboot. Any guidance is much appreciated.
Being that you are S-on, you will need to flash the kernel separately. Either via fastboot or an app called flash image GUI. This step is necessary for any AOSP ROM but not for sense based, S-on friendly ROMs.

Thank you atheistevofreak and FinZ28.
That gives me a couple of options to try. Will update how it went once it try these later today.
FinZ28 - I have read the s-on section of your post and that gave me some hope. Thank you for the great write up. I will dig to understand more on kernel flashing. Your post does have some pretty good information on that too.
You're quite welcome:thumbup:
If I were you, I'd look into the Facepalm S-off method. It's actually quite simple and very beneficial to do.

Got the meanbean rom installed as you suggested. Every thing is up and running. The meanbean thread had some good information on how to do this for S-ON phones. Thanks a lot.
When you're ready to take the plunge and get S-off, take a look at my post in the link below:

I wrote another, more detailed guide on how to use Facepalm but at the moment I can't locate the post.
