Excuse me. I unlocked HTC with HTCDev but I can not do s-off. Do you have a guide please

You don't have to S-Off to install a custom rom. You just have to fastboot flash the boot.img from the rom you are installing. S-Off just makes it easier so the rom will install the kernel in recovery.

Wipe everything except your fat32 in recovery and try to flash any sense 3.6 ROM. If that boots fine, i'll walk you through the steps to get you on the right track. You need to have ROM zip on your sd card to flash anything
So you mean wipe everything excep sd card, correct???
I'll search tomorrow for a 3.6 rom (it's 4 am here) )...

Now I recomed you to flash 4ext recovery. It's the best for Evo and has smartflash for s-on users which takes care of kernel problems

When you relock you don't loose s-off, so after flashing the desired firmware ruu all you have to do is unlock again with the same blob you used to unlock originally. Then install a recovery and root again. It's not difficult, just time consuming.
Im using windows 8.1 and it doesnt support fastboot ... can i unlock my boatloader later?!?!?

What is your rom.stock rom or custem rom....try to Flash boot.img

Have you tried a gingerbread stock Rom?
Also, you can download the ph85img.zip from my viper Rom or arhd and put it on the external sdcard and boot into bootloader.
See if that helps.
Make sure after you flash the update, you go into recovery and flash the Rom of your choice. And make sure to delete the ph85img.zip from the sdcard so it doesn't flash every time you go into bootloader.
What recovery are you using?
4 ext is preferred for my Rom.

try the stock tmobile ruu (complete one) and use it for 2-3 days (don't flash anything else mods recovery latest radio nothing) to check whether it's a rom or hardware problem..

Just make sure when you flash a kernel to flash the modules came with it and check whether the kernel supports the rom or not

Doesn't one have to have a RADIO update compatible with the version of such-and-such?
I don't remember which such-and-such we refer to, but I remember reading about flashing a radio to match something. Maybe someone else can drop a line here.

If you want to flash a custom rom/custom recovery you can with S-ON. Unless you want to rebrand your phone or flash stock RUU/firmware of a lower version you don't need s-off. S-ON is security on and S-OFF is security off this is a mechanism to keep the user from flashing RUU/firmware that are not compatible with your phone. Check the OP of the rom that you want to flash and it will tell you what are the needed requirements. You will need to unlock your bootloader to flash a custom recovery/rom and to root.
Thanks. My phone is rooted and the bootloader is unlocked so I was wondering if I can flash a rom with s off

Read this from the Viper site! As I said before you need to read the OP for their instructions and requirements.
I was using ViperOne 6.2 with S-On, it was not until I went to 7.0.1 I had to s-off to update ruu and firmware. So, you really should study up on what the requirements of your device are. Shortly, S-Off is not "Required" only recommended.
