I messed up when going to sense 6 and am trying to ruu back and apply the updates. Well I did RUU earlier today and it worked fine. Now I can't for some reason. Running rooted stock from Android Development forum and adb and fastboot both work fine. I get error 155. Tried relocking the bootloader, rebooting both phone and pc. Don't know what else to do. Sprint btw. Using the exe file. Worked fine hours ago.

I am at a loss. The stock rom I downloaded won't let me update to 4.4.2 or sense 6. I have both updates downloaded I just need to get back to stock so I can take the updates or a rom that will allow me to. The stock roms available are missing files that are needed for the update.
BTW: Hboot 2.49.0000 Perhaps I have to downgrade Hboot or something really could use some help here. Pretty much stuck on this for 24 hours.
Sorry I keep bumping but I am at a loss and may have to return. I can find way to take OTA. RUU fails after it says erasing user data and gets to about 2% and then says sending till it fails. I've done just about everything I can think of really could use some outside ideas here...
EDIT: At worst could someone upload a stock nandroid with all the apps so I can take the OTA?

Put your phone on fasboot usb .
Run RUU.EXE
And your set. It will take about 10 min to complete.
Realize that if you remove your USB while its updating your phone might end up bricked so be careful to not get it unplugged.

Right on thanks guys i finally got around to doing all this and it worked. One last question....Any advice on a particular ROM to flash? I was looking at the Nocturnal Adrenaline E3D 1.0.2 ODEX?? what do you guys think? Thanks again for all the help...
I'm currently running MeanRom 3.92. It's really good. Lots of features & easily over clockable on included ziggy kernel or Anthrax Rls8 Final. Also includes other options that get loaded onto sdcard for flashing.
I flashed leedroid Tweaks, & anthrax, clocked to 1.728Ghz. Stable, fast, quadrant average about 4k.
All up to your preference really, but some consider it a good idea to stick with 2.17 based roms if that's the radio base you have.
Sent from my PG86100 using Tapatalk

it works the same as any other recovery, but when you choose the zip to install, a menu will pop up asking you what to do prior to the flash, that is where you do all your wiping...enjoy
Guys, i tried searching on google and xda, and am either confused or SOL. I have been given a 100% stock evo lte with hboot 1.19. (yes, I've read the countless posts of how lame this is, nothing i can do about it.) All i want is that sweet CM10 so i can get a taste of jellybean. Plain and simple. Nothing too fancy or crazy. Could someone kindly direct me to a step-by-step? I dont care about s-off if i dont need it, I just want to go from stock to cm10, I'm just not sure where to start or what to do first.
Thank you for your time.
Sent from my EVO using xda app-developers app
I'll break in down into the big chunks, but there are directions for each of these on the forums
Unlock the bootloader, put on TWRP, flash CM10, flash gapps, fastboot flash the kernel
http://androidforums.com/evo-4g-lte-all-things-root/606748-how-install-kernels-h-boot-1-15-a.html
I'll just say TeamWin has been awesome with their recovery, dumlock is built into their latest recovery, probably the least ideal but it does give you the most control over your phone, it will boot recovery from within boot and allow you to use the recovery as you normally would and the directions are very easy to follow
All those directions are for hboot 1.15, have we confirmed that this is safe for 1.19? I cant afford to brick this phone

It says 1.15 because thats when I wrote the guide.
1.15=1.19 for the methods needed to flash things
That + at the end means anything above 1.15

Any ideas why this is happening to me? One thread suggested using a different USB port, no dice...
so im guessing you unlocked the bootloader, you booted back to the bootloader and selected fastboot, did you unplug the usb and plug it back in for good measure? once in a while fast boot will not recognize usb, if you checked all that and still cant get it, use the adbtools package rather then sdk
WOOHOO! So it took several wipes and re-flashes, but I am now running CM10!!! Thank you so much! The only problem is my SD card won't mount, any ideas?

I know at least one person that was having that problem in cm10 was able to fix it by formatting the sd card in Windows. There are instructions here:

First off, I am a noob. So forgive me for being an idiot
I got this rezound that gets stuck in the bootloop. Looks like whoever had it before me tried to relock the bootloader and failed. Well I tried relocking it. That didn't do a thing. Recovery doesn't load at all, gets stuck at the htc logo as well. I tried antp121's unbrick method and it didn't detect the device. I just really have no idea what I am doing anyways, so any help would be much appreciated

Have you tried flashing a new custom recovery? Possibly try downloading Amon RA and flashing via fastboot. with a working recovery you may be able to flash a working ROM/Kernel combo
I'd say ruu it, looks like your on official ota, maybe you want to upgrade to the global ota?
Search for the global ruu. That will set you back to stock. But first, search for hasoon2000's all in one tool for the rezound to help you along with relocking bootloader and flashing a new recovery once the RUU has completed.
Sorry of this is too much for a beginner, it's really not complicated stuff and there are plenty of helpful people on here I'm sure someone would be willing to walk you through it
Good luck!

Squirrel is correct.. if your using windows 7-8. you just have to name it to PH98IMG it doesn't need the .zip cuz its in a zip folder (kind of a space saving thing windows came up with) you'll see the .zip when it start loading on your phone..

I named it properly. It went through the update process and everything. And I reflashed it multiple times with no success. It is s-on with relocked bootloader. After I flashed it it says push power to reboot. It reboots and gets stuck at the HTC logo like before. I've let it on for like 10 minutes with no progress just to be safe. Should I unlock the bootloader and try to flash a recovery, then a rom? Or should that not matter?

In that case, make sure the ruu you downloaded has the same MD5 hash as they other people's downloads (sometimes posted in op of thread).
Also try wiping everything from within hboot before running ruu

The MD5 hash is the same as many of the other downloads. I also can't wipe, it gets stuck at the boot logo. I'm gonna try another download just to be safe, I'll let update when that happens.

Keep it on. Just let it sit there and go watch a few episodes of your favorite TV show on Netflix.
I'm assuming that I don't reset it then. Just leave it on the update page. If I'm mistaken let me know. I'll give it a try.

I had to get a new Evo this weekend because my old one went into a coma. Now I havent been on here too much lately due to my new job, so the last time I rooted/s-off-ed something was about a year ago. So forgive me. I was able to successfully after many Many MANY tries to do so. I just kept putting in the same code over and over, literally. then came to part to 'root' it. I follwed 'bigdaddy619's' instuctions to a "t". (or at least I felt I did.) im sure I got all the drivers updated as well. I even followed along with a video on YouTube However, I was unsuccessful in my attempts to root. I kept getting the same error, and if I did NOT get the error, then it just got stuck on "sending file <8024mb>", or something of that nature. That seriously happened about 8 times. the green bar on the fastboot screen filled up and nothing happened. Nothing happened at all. I know its supposed to be somewhat instantaneous on rooting, but I even waited a good 5 mins.
To avoid possible encounter with the forum police (sarcasm) I tried other ways to do so.I think I may end up regretting doing so. I downloaded GooManager and installed to the open recovery script which I believe is twrp 2.6.0.0. It says it installed sucessfully, but of course I was unable to boot into recovery. When I tried, I only got the exclamation mark in a triangle over-the-phone picture.I then went t Twrps website and downloaded the PJ75IMG which is twrp 2.3.x.x. When I tried fastboot-that, it failed and said something along the lines of, this version is older. So itried to find a way to delete TWRP which I could not.... Dealing anything on the HBOOT screen makes me nervous
so my questions are:
1. DO I just need to flash an RUU and start from scratch? (that would be my least favorite option.)
2. Is there some other way to 'root' without starting over?
3. Do I need to delete any htc/android/google affiliated programs on my computer?
4. im lost.
I have HBOOT 2.09, Software 3.16.651.3

So I bought a Thunderbolt off eBay. Seller said it just had a cracked screen. Replaced that and come to find it's in a boot loop. It won't boot into the ROM or into Recovery. No big deal..
I go into hboot, unlock the bootloader, great.
Now, however, I am trying to install a recovery, and it won't even boot into recovery, just shows the splash image and then reboots into a loop. I've tried installing, CWM (touch and non), amon-ra, and one other one, all with the same results.
I tried flashing the latest ruu to get back to step 1, but I get the message that the mainver is older than currently installed and it won't let me install the ruu.
Any ideas?
Search for a setmainver.zip file on here that should spoof your version #.
The new way to root isn't posted on xda and is on santods forums

That requires flashing from recovery; I can't even get into recovery.
Crap that's right. Can u get into fastboot? If u can do this:
"Fastboot getvarall" to get your version.
If you can get the RUU as phxxx.zip (forget the numbers) to flash in the boot loader you can edit the android text file version # to the same as your phone using 7zip. Edit the mainver line to =or> than yours
Cant do this with an exe ruu.
Hope this helps
I have the 2.11.605.19 ruu zip its little over 400mb. U can upload it if u need it.

Okay, I hadn't thought of that; I'll give it a shot, thanks!
I tried it; hboot reads the file, gets to "parsing" and then stops. Do I need to do anything special, or has anyone already gotten something like this to work?
Relocked bootloader (derp), and now it is checking the file... and no option to install.. gah..
Tried installing via fastboot:
c:\android>fastboot oem rebootRUU
...
OKAY [ 0.162s]
finished. total time: 0.166s
c:\android>fastboot flash zip PG05IMG.zip
sending 'zip' (454974 KB)...
OKAY [ 74.499s]
writing 'zip'...
(bootloader) signature checking...
FAILED (remote: 12 signature verify fail)
finished. total time: 151.845s
Hmm. Did you use 7zip to open and edit? I don't use windows too often?
Also I think you have to make your edits with notepad+ in windows (free). Sorry I use Linux..
This should solve the verification error your getting.

What hboot version did the thunderbolt have when you bought it? You may have only have needed to finish running the revolutionary tool.
