unlock your bootloader using hasoon aio kit here
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1493905
relock your bootloader again.
format you externel sd card.
download a different copy of PH85IMG.
you know the rest..
so i format the sdcard after i relock thebootloader? because it wont let me into recovery once my bootloader is locked the only place it allows me to go is inside the bootloader

No,formatting the sd card is a different issue,its for clear all the possible bad sectors and files....put your PH85IMG file after formatting the sd card...and you do not need recovery while you returning to stock...right

you do not need recovery to flash a stock ROM,because the fastboot automatically detects your PH85IMG from your ext sd card.

relock the bootloader then flash your ruu once it's done flash the jbear hboot (or else you'll have trouble flashing the recovery) plus since you already have an ics firmware why are you messing your phone up :S just flash some rom and enjoy it? you keep flashing stuff more than using your phone as a phone :/
I unlocked and installed cm 10 before I s-off. Could not run s-off successfully without stock.
So... I asked similar questions a month or so back about Telus.
I can't successfully rollback to the gb ruu or the ics ruu. The ics ruu is an ota which appears to need an gb install.
Pure stock tmous ruu check for tmous cid and fails when it finds the Telus cid.
Finally installed arhd 4 and s-off tool ran without error. I could then flash radio and hboot

ARHD4 is short for Android Revolution HD version 4 which has recently been updated to version 5. It's a ROM that's very close to stock T-Mobile OTA from March of 2013, it's deodexed, with minor tweaks and slight debloating, and addons which are done through the Aroma installer. It can be found in the dev section of this board.

I don't believe you can s-off with any non-stock ROM (though I may be mistaken). I think you need to be on the latest factory image from your carrier before you can run the s-off hack or it won't work. Reread through the instructions carefully and I think you'll find what I'm saying is correct.

ARHD won't help you for several reasons. First, it isn't a stock ROM, it's been rooted, deodexed, and some apps removed from stock. Second, it's based on a T-Mobile ruu and you don't have the T-Mobile version of this handset. There are several threads which detail how you can get back to stock, please read them, use the search function, and do some research for yourself rather than spamming the board requesting help.

Reread my post. I didn't say you couldn't flash it, I said you couldn't attain s-off with it, because it isn't a stock ROM for your device. In order to attain s-off the CID of the ROM has to match the CID of your handset. The vast majority of ROMs for the Amaze are made from a T-Mobile base so they are incompatible for your purposes because of this mismatch. What about this fact do you not understand? There have been many threads written about this, and the solutions have been given to you by several folks here in the forum.
Regardless, please discontinue spamming the board, especially when you have been told how to resolve your issue. You were the one who didn't initially follow directions and are now stuck, not any of us. If you're incapable of following basic directions or searching for the answers yourself then you shouldn't be modding your phone in the first place.

Sorry, I posted this thread in wrong location..
Hi folks,
this is my first post on XDA. I have a Sprint htc EVO 4G LTE phone which was running on JB.
Thought of root and flash with CM. So, first I unlocked the bootloader using htc dev and installed TWRP custom recovery and then rooted.
Then I flashed the stable CM 10 then flashed gapps which is compatible for CM 10 version. so far so good. oh, btw I did nandroid backup before flash and also wiped to factory reset, cache and Delvic cache.
After the flash i clicked on reboot system and I see the Cyanogenmod boot, but its stuck at that stage and I waited for more than an hour. No luck.
Thank god I did back up before this, otherwise not sure what I'm gonna do.
But, could someone tell me why it gets stuck at this point. I know some of you guys had this problem. I searched everywhere but didn't get help. I thought of posting this in android development forum, but as a newbie I can't do that.
Please help me out.
P.S: when I'm on boot screen (power button + vol down button) I see unlocked at the top but I also have TAMPERED in red color on top of that. Was this normal? or do you think that is causing the problem? and what should I do now?
If you're on Hboot 1.15+, you need to flash the kernel separately from the ROM if you're S-on. Click the link in my sig for further info.
The tampered warning at the top of the bootloader screen is normal.

You are right. I must flash the kernel and I did. guess what? It got flashed and after CM boot the next screen is language setup and my touchscreen is not responding at all...only the power and volume buttons are working..
I had a backup so thought of going back to it and I restored to it. It is not even booting up. My phone stays at htc quietly brilliant screen for long time and then splashing screen 2 times in a minute or so and then restarting automatically.
I have no clue what to do at this point.
I had Jellybam ROM saved on my sd card so I wiped my phone and flashed it. after rebooting it got stucked at htc boot screen.
I'm thinking may be the kernel doesn't support the Jellybam ROM. Is it?
How can I change the kernel?
How can I use my phone now?
does Jellybam requires separate kernel to flash it?
can you recommend any ROM's which includes their own kernel?
any help is greatly appreciated.

The stable download is an ancient version of CM. Circa 2012 ancient. IRC = Internet Relay Chat. There should be a sticky on this forum for how to setup and connect to IRC. Latest build can be found there.

If you're on the latest OTA (Hboot 2.09, baseband ending in 1210) you can only run ROM's based off the latest OTA (software version 3.16). This is due to an upgraded touch panel driver, which is why your touchscreen doesn't work. You can gain S-off and downgrade the driver so you can run AOSP ROM's, like CM.
Most Sense ROM's include a kernel installer to simplify the flashing process when S-on (MeanBean & ViperROM, to name a few). Just follow the instructions in the OP for whatever ROM you're wanting to flash.

Like I said, you can install a ROM based off software version 3.16. That will get you up and running. As far as S-off, you'll have to use Dirty Racun, which can be found in the link below.

After gaining S-off, head over to Captain Throwback's firmware thread in the development section. You can download the 3.15 touch panel driver there. The link to his thread is below.

Thanks @ FinZ28
I flashed MeanROM_3.09 and its working perfectly. Nothing wrong with it, except I felt like its not a custom ROM. I meant its nothing but htc sence with some extra. I was looking for ROM's which should be like pure google interface. ex. CM, clean ROM etc
I know I have to downgrade my firmware and S-off, but looks like my doors were closed. I'm a windows user and all the support was for Linux. (I decided to learn Linux ) I can get this done if I find any guide on doing S-off on windows.
Can you suggest any ROM's which will work on my device and which should look like pure google?
btw, I took your suggestion and tried installing ROM's based off 3.16. like JellyBam, cleanROM. JellyBam not even boot up and cleanROM having trouble with touchscreen. Not sure why.

Viper ROM has a "senseless" opción, when you flash it you can choose in the aroma installer this and it should remove most of sense or whatever is safe so you have the stability of sense plus some kind of pure google look by choosing nova or apex... It also has a kernel installer if you are s-on, a lot of customization and great support... Check it out here:

There is another option that was recently released for Windows users with the most current OTA for S-OFF called Moonshine. You can find it if memory serves me correctly in 'Android Development' in the EVO LTE forums here.

Glad you got it fixed, try to get s-off using moonshine, as far as I know is windows friendly you just have to UNINSTALL HTC SYNC, and since you already rooted and unlocked I'm sure you have adb and fastboot in your computer and that's all you need! After that you should be able to downgrade your TP driver and use all the AOSP roms, man is great and now with Halo it's even better... Good Luck!

When i resturned to stock. I only flash the stock recovery at rom. And i dont the radio. What radio does? Do i still need to flash it?
Little explanations needed !!!
Hi guys,just joined this HUGE community where you can find almost everything you need for your satisfaction:good: !
But since i`m noobie would appreciate some assistance in explaining how to unlock my M8,and install Android Revolution HD ROM !!!
I spent like 5 hours yesterday reading all kind`a info about how,where,why etc ... and the more i read,the more confused i got
Things i got to find out about my M8 = *software statusfficial* *Locked* HBoot-3.19.0.0000 Radio-1.22.30306251.27G CidNum- HTC__Y13 Version Main - 3.33.401.6
So the things i`m clearly too dumb to understand is STEPS from A-Z ,to get Android Revolution HD over Original(full with crap )ROM !?!
Would appreciate if some smart developer could explain step by step what should i do first,and what last... should i get S-off first,or should i unlock it first,or make it bootable ...as i told, i read so many info ,and got rally confused about all that process :silly:
Sorry for my bad english ,and tnx in advance for all who cared to shine some knowledge in my darkness :angel:

This forum section is specifically for the AT&T version of the M8, which your phone is not.
You want to post here: http://forum.xda-developers.com/htc-one-m8/help
But all you need to do to install ARHD on your phone is unlock the bootloader via HTCDev.com, install custom recovery and flash the ROM.

Its not clear what you are trying to do, or what your current configuration is. The radio is the software that makes your phone work on the cell network.
If you did not specifically flash the radio (s-off required) its still on some stock radio. Although it might not correspond to the software (main version or OS) version you are on, since its also not clear what software you are on.
Ok really stupid question...what does AT&T mean ...this forum is FULL with different abbreviations ,i got no clue what does half of them mean ... there should be made a topic for noobs like me with only explanation of abbreviations:fingers-crossed:

AT&T is a carrier in the US. If you didn't know what it meant, then you shouldn't have posted here.
If you don't know an abbreviation, than look it up. There are a variety of threads that already explain what you are asking about, or just Google for it. Here is one: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?p=52484527
It doesn't tell you what AT&T is, but it explains a great many other common acronyms and terms.
AT&T is a mobile carrier...

where would i find the firmware for 4.4.4.? I tried downloading the android revolution custom rom 22.1 but i couldnt get any wifi after flashing.
didnt realize i had to update firmware(however when i received phone i was on 4.4.2 and i tried doing software update and was told up to date)
i was told go back to stock and take stock update but i never received one in the first place.
is there a way that i can flash 4.4.4. firmware now that im bootloader unlocked/rooted and s-off?
would i flash zip firmware then reflash android 22.1 or the other way around?
sorry for the noob questions but after searching for awhile i can say im honestly stuck without having to go back to 100 percent stock and hope i get an ota update
there is no att 4.4.4,if on an ATT variant,change your cid to BS_US001 and flash the 3.28.1540.5 ruu if you really want 4.4.4

This is discussed in a great many places. Euro firmware and instructions here: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2696282
US Dev Edition firmware here (included with WNC's ROM): http://forum.xda-developers.com/att-htc-one-m8/development/att-4-4-3-2-22-1540-3-debloated-sense-6-t2837365
Assume you are on AT&T, since this forum section is specific to the AT&T version. Note that Euro ROMs may create some network issues on AT&T (most prominent of which is LTE issues with Google services). The best combo for AT&T is WNC's ROM and the matching firmware.

i guess thats where the confusion lies. Its not that i want 4.4.4. i thought i needed 4.4.4. to run the custom rom.

correct i followed those instructions and downloaded the latest firmware from that link and i still couldnt get wifi to work on the revolution 22.1 rom. i then followed the directions went s-off to try and find a firmware for me to run the rom and couldnt get anything to work.
Yes i am on att. currently 4.4.2 rooted with s-off running twrp as my customer recovery.

your right i should be more specific. i went under the firmware section for the revolution rom and downloaded the firmware (3.32.531.2.zip). Now learning that this is euro rom and not att specific rom i guess the firmware i installed had nothing to do with att. the result didnt change. it was as if i flashed the rom without the firmware again. everything worked fine just no wifi. Before doing any of that i did a backup with twrp with just stock settings. right now im rooted and s-off. Looking into the rom you suggested and reading before i do anything. Its quite confusing this go around for me not too sure why.
appreciate everyones help though ! :good:
Backup your files [email protected] pics music etc,change cid and run the 3.28.1540.5 ruu,this is the same device(att variant) as us developer edition,will put you to latest compatable firmware and enable you to run any 4.4.4 builds out.

Did you flash the firmware with fastboot, following the instructions from the first link I supplied?
I think you are doing something wrong, which is probably why WNC is suggesting the RUU (which is a executable, and pretty much self-running).

What is your current hboot and radio numbers (both are displayed in bootloader).
Also, you often have to flash the firmware zip twice in order for all the modules to install.
Connect phone to computer with fastboot in power settings turned off, open a command prompt navigate to your adb/fastboot location and run adb reboot bootloader,once phone reboots it will connect to fastbootusb ,once this is established run this command fastboot oem writecid BS_US001then run fastboot reboot-bootloader,once this is done can run the ruu from fastboot connection.

The hboot and radio numbers indicate you are on the latest firmware. If you did in fact flash the firmware twice, I would be confidant the firmware is all properly installed. I would try either:
1) Flash the desired ROM again after wiping data, cache and Dalvik
2) RUU as WNC suggests
3) Try WNC's ROM with corresponding firmware

Kernels
I am running R121 with butter toast kernel downloaded from 2nd post on page 1, Is there any better kernel I should try out? I saw there is a newer shooter kernel available to download from your link?
Evo 3D lately?
Guys, I'm sorry to post such a noob question, but there are literally hundreds of forum pages spaning over four years and as many sw/fw revisions. I just can't seem to put all the ends together. Please help.
I've got 2 VM Evo 3D phones, both with 4ext recovery, and one rooted. I can't seem to get the wire-trick to work, to get me to S-Off. Not even sure if it's possible with my configuration:
kernel: 3.0.16-g3a7b522
build: 2.95.652.5
*** UNLOCKED ***
SHOOTER XC SHIP S-ON RL

May 17 2012,15:06:44
Could somebody please tell me what my options are for getting S-Off? And possibly a guide for doing it -- given the current versions of sw/fw on my phones? The existing guides (the ones I've found) all reference older versions of things. ControlBear SEEMS to go through completion--phone even reboots after the wire-trick and says "success", but in the end says, S-Off Failed. Tried 20 times.
Any help? I sure would appreciate it. Thanks.
-Michael
So, there's not a lot of activity with the Evo these days, but I would appreciate--at the very least--a discouraging comment letting me know that I'm not likely to get help, and not to wait around for it. Better yet, some guidance from an expert or two that would help me S-off my phone.
I can't tell if there's actually no interest, or if it's because the system hijacked my post from the appropriate forum area, to this one, because I am a new member, and nobody looks here. I sure would appreciate a response, though.

Really glad JCFunk is continuing to work on this ROM.
I've been using it for a little over a week now and it's been working solid.
Besides the installation problem that I mentioned here, I've encountered no bugs so far.
JCFunk's EVO 3D is broken.
Someone with some money please buy him a new one so he actually has something to test his work on, lol.
If I play a 720p MP4 video in MX Player with the stock Gingerbread ROM installed, the video plays smooth.
If I play the same video in MX Player with the Negalite ROM installed (Apex or Sense), there's lag in segments where the director panned the camera.
Not sure what the cause is.
I figured, if anything, the video would run smoother with the Nagalite ROM installed (because of the Kernel Tuner overclocking and less bloat).

s-off, is not lost. Need to be locked. Hboot 1.5 will not boot stock ics. Kernel loads in different memory address.
once you install, stock. Reboot into bootloader.
then
fastboot oem rebootRUU
Then you can flash custom recovery
fastboot flash recovery recovery.img
fastboot reboot-bootloader
Now you will have a custom recovery which you can install su from to root rom
I wish everyone would use SVN to get the rom, to upload a zip takes me over a 1.5 hours. My internet is not the fastest

Thanks very much for the instructions. I got stock ICS installed.
It appears the video problem is indeed a general ICS problem and not a Negalite-specific problem.

Hi all. I bought my HTC Evo 3D phone from someone and the wifi is not working. Trying to turn it on just results in "Error". Apparently this is rooted and/or has custom firmware. The software is negalite blurom cdma vm r115 with android 4.0.3. I was wondering if anyone could help a root/cfw newbie with step by step instructions on how to get wifi working again.

Sound like a bad install, Download latest Negalite Blue, and install from recovery.
thanks for replying. there are too many different variants of negalite, do you have a recommendation? and how do i go into recovery?
Is there a way to achieve S-OFF as of this year? I have been browsing the xda ATT HTC One m8 forums for awhile and I came across firewater and sunshine. Firewater has been discontinued and with sunshine I keep getting an error message saying "Sunshine can not be used with your device as it is. You need to flash a stock ROM, or a nearer stock ROM." I'm on a stock Sense ROM(with some mods of course) but it's stock enough right? I want to get S-OFF because I eventually want to change my phone into the Google Play Edition device. Any help or direction/s to a thread with info or your own instructions will be greatly appreciated.

Since you are going to change out to GPE, you may as well bite the bullet and send your phone back to stock, then run Sunshine.
I did and am now running Developer Edition happily.

Specifically...You need the kernel to be 100% stock. Grab the boot.img from the firmware zip that matches your phone and flash it via fastboot. Sunshine will then work.
Where can I find the boot.img? And what does the boot.img do?(what is it)
Has anyone heard of Moonshine? I've seen that and they claim s-off and it's free. I really don't want to pay $25 to s-off my device. Thanks in advance!

I just converted my AT&T M8 into GPE device. I searched enough for a week before realizing that there is no way to S-OFF without sunshine. I eventually paid the $25 and am happily running an S-OFF device now. Moonshine didn't work and firewater is discontinued.

The OP has clearly stated that they are trying to use sunshine, but its not working for them.
Stock ROM and stock kernel are best for sunshine (and not having these may be interfering). Or being on hboot 3.19 renders sunshine unable to s-off (and you can't downgrade hboot with s-on by definition); which is why I asked OP what hboot is currently on the device.
I have a similar problem - here's the twist:
Hboot *IS* 3.19. Sunshine didn't work, and the message was simply: phone incompatible, it's a known issue, we're working on it.
AND... I don't KNOW my firmware version, because I used a version of twrp when rooting the phone that had a bug with just that effect - you can't see your firmware version.
I wanted S-off specifically so as to flash the latest ATT firmware to alleviate that problem.
The ultimate goal is to get viper on the phone.
What can I do? Thanks to all in advance!

Hboot 3.19 and s-on (on an AT&T M8) means you are on 3.28 firmware (Android 4.4.4).
So sunshine won't work, and you won't be able to update the firmware to run any Sense Lollipop ROMs until either sunshine is updated to support your hboot (new exploit needs to be found, basically) or AT&T releases the LP update (after which you can update the firmware by "official" means).
I responded to your other thread, so you can read a more detailed explanation of "firmware number" there: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=59480010&postcount=19
