It is impossible to unlock boot loader with photon 2.3.5. But still you can use custom ROMs for locked phones

I just got a replacement phone from Asurion (Sprint Total Equipment Protection). I am trying to flash a rom (I have tried a few different ones) and in the process of flashing, the phone reboots and gets stuck rebooting.
Does anyone know how to get passed this?
Rom problem
I had a similar problem. I unlocked the bootloader but am still S-On running 1.19. After unlocking, I tried to install MeanBean 2.9 and the phone got stuck for over half an hour trying . I had to Power down. Obviously now it will not reboot. I can get to the bootloader and recovery screens, but cannot push a rom to root drive to flash.
I tried the linux unbricking thread advice, but my phone doesn't seemed to be recognized. Any suggestions on how to resurrect it?
Your phone ain't bricked, you have to flash the boot image first

So I need to find the jb fastboot files for fido network in Canada and then use the software rsd lite 6.0 (Google for it)
And then videos and other threads explain then procedure

Odd question, is there a way to unlock the phone to use any sim card from any carrier? using a XT910 GSM Rogers canadian phone, throw in my Telus sim, and it asks for an unlock code..

Hi everyone, I recently (as in last night) rooted and unlocked my htc evo 4g lte when i found out that htc will no longer be updating the device. I decided to take things into my own hands.
First of all, I unlocked via HTC dev and rooted with su 1.55. I also had Twrp 2.6.1 Everything was good up to this point.
I looked around for the best rom that was stable and I choose CM10.1.
I flashed the rom and not the kernel thinking i didnt have to. After the rom booted with the touch screen disabled or not working I quickly used the recovery i had made before doing all of this. After doing this over about 3 times i learned that you had to flash the kernel. I went and found the kernal for the rom and flashed it. I thought it was fine but i was wrong. My recovery doesnt recover anymore, I can get to the boot loader but unfortunately my boot loader is locked again due to the ruu I tried to use after I got a 'little' nervous.
Im basically stuck with a phone that doesn't boot. Id appreciate any and all help.
Get adb drivers for the evo 4g lte boot the phone into fastboot and reflash the recovery IMG through adb to the phone after that try and s off your evo whenever u s off it will be virtually impossible to brick this device

I dont mean to sound like a noob.
I have re unlocked my device with twrp on it. Secondly do you have a link to the correct software? and the process on how to properly flash that back onto my phone?
Thank you!!
If u have it unlocked with recovery then u can re flash ROM but to be safe u should s off the device that way if u do ever flash a ROM it will automatically update your boot.IMG

If you want to go back totally stock you can use the VipeRUU tool. You must be S-off to use it.
I have one more question, can i flash this without a kernel? or do i have to use the gui to flash the kernel first then flash over the rom? or is any of that correct?
Well i cannot link it but its the 4.2.2 cyangenmod

You can use Flash Image GUI or you can fastboot flash the kernel. Click the link in my sig-I have a guide for installing kernels while S-on.
I just bought a gs4, and I'm confused about loki. The phone I bought has the MDK baseband, and it has twrp installed. Can I flash a rom the same way I flashed roms on my old gs3? If not, I need to know about loki. What exactly is it? thanks

Yes if it's MDK and has twrp you're good to go man. You can install any ROM and kernel you want. You're very lucky to have it. I can link you the MDK Odin file and MDK root method should you need it....
