Been a while since I have done this.
Sprint HTC EVO 4G / apx325c
Kept shutting off.
Now will not start OS/ROM
Has TWRP v2.8.02. (Which from what I have been reading, isn't for this phone so IDK what to do there.)
Trying to trouble shoot, says No OS Installed.
Tried using restore, says complete, reboot, no os installed.
I want to put a stock rom back on this phone. I am downloading one from here: http://forum.xda-developers.com/wiki/HTC_Evo/ROMs#Stock_ROMs
OTA Update #14 5.07.651.6 2.15.00.01.15 N/A Gingerbread 2.3.5 18 February 2013 Yes
Is the TWRP verion correct or did someone install one that was for another phone and it just happen to work?
Hi,
I moved this to the correct section.
Im sorry I don't understand the difference between the two sections as I don't know much about the phone.

Downloaded the rom. Used install to flash it. Didn't work :/
First, the phone you're trying to fix is the HTC EVO 4G LTE (aka Jewel). The ROM's you're trying to flash are for the HTC EVO 4G (aka Supersonic). You need to find a ROM based on the new partition layout and flash it to the phone. Afterwards, I suggest making a backup to prevent such issues from happening again. Just take a look at either Development or Original Development for a ROM based off the NPL.
Thanks.
I am working with cpt throwback in correcting this issue in the IRC.
Once I get the correct TWRP installed back I will flash a rom. Don't know which yet.
So I found the rom I need. It's a stock rooted one from cpt throwbacks thread.
I updated TWRP to his latest version.
Attempting to flash rom and it says successful but throws error for mounting cache.
Have v2.8.1.0 of TWRP
Finish flash and says reboot, no os installed.
Is that version of TWRP for the new partition layout?
Post a link to the ROM you were trying to install.

DL ROM and his latest TWRP from there
Last night I sat the phone down while it was in TWRP and left it. Came back a while later and started messing with it again and could mount cache. IDK what is going on with this dang thing.
Attempted to flash but get an error zip signiture verification failed so I went to sleep leaving the phone on in TWRP.
This morning I re-downloaded the ROM. Verified the MD5 and placed on phone. Attempted flash, it worked but seen error for not able to mount system.
Restarted the phone and it booted to the ROM I flashed and everything seems to be functioning on the phone.
Currently attempting to fetch recovery.log. http://pastebin.com/AYLTHpjT
phone seems to be having a problem, keeps turning off. Not shutting down but just OFF.
When plugged in USB it has this issue the most so I assume that the USB connector on the MB is shorting.
I will be returning this phone to its owner as it is working as far as I can get it to.
Thanks to everyone for their help.

I've spent some time researching how to root my phone for quite awhile now because there was almost no guide for my phone to be rooted. I have a Samsung Galaxy Admire 4G (Model SCH-R820) connected to MetroPCS with a 16 GB external SD card inserted. Also it had Android 2.3.6 installed on it. With some hard research I finally found a forum that I followed to root my device.
The forum actually did help to root my phone which I couldn't believe. :laugh: I installed the .apk file with File Explorer and installed Framaroot, then I opened the app and I rooted with SuperSU as instructed in the forum. The whole process was successful and I downloaded a app to determined if my phone was really rooted which later said positive that my phone was rooted. After less than 2 hours of my phone being rooted and having fun with it, I saw thing about custom roms and I liked the ideas of installing a custom rom. I installed a app called "Rom Manger" and it said I needed ClockWorkMod Recovery or ClockWorkMod to be installed to be able to get the custom rom. My device was NOT supported and taped the unsupported device selection and it prompt me to say if I had ClockWorkMod Recovery MANUALLY installed. I didn't know what that mean't and selected "YES" which I would regret later on. I then selected "Backup Current ROM" and it restarted my phone but I don't know where if the backup was place on my internal memory or SD card (I THINK IT DID NOT DO A BACKUP). I went onto my computer to get a custom ROM and tried to install it into my phone using Odin v1.87 when my phone was i guess in "download" mode. (When you hold a few buttons and it prompts you about a warning on installing custom OS).
Just when I saw it fail to install, I realized that I installed the WRONG ROM to my device! (THE CUSTOM ROM WAS FOR A DIFFERENT DEVICE). :crying: When I restarted my phone it was stuck on the Samsung Boot Screen and it would not boot the Android OS and would get stuck on the Boot Screen whenever I would restart my phone. I tried Wiping Cache, Wiping Data/Factory Reset, and Rebooting my device and the same problem would persist. Also the app "Rom Manger" didn't seem to install ClockWorkMod Recovery because I'm only able to do Stock Android System Recovery and "Download" mode to my device.
The thing I think I can do is get a stock ROM for my Samsung Device and reflash it with Odin but whenever I research the ROM for my device I can't seem to find one EVEN on this site. (TRUST ME I DID LONG RESEARCH TO FIND ONE). My brother has the SAME EXACT PHONE and I was hoping if I rooted my bro's phone and do a backup on my bro's ROM with a different app (NOT ROM MANGER) and get the back up on my computer and use it on Odin to reflash MY PHONE'S ROM would it fix my BootLooped/Softed Bricked phone?????OR any ideas on how to get my phone back working OR do I need to buy a new phone if all possible solution fails?
One more thing...I think ClockWorkMod is NOT Safe for my device so if I really need to install it on either phones please tell! :good:
This is how it looks when in download mode (Sorry For The Huge Picture):

I did the same thing. try sending it into metro pcs they told me they would flash the original on there. they wouldn't do it for me though cuz i cancelled my service with them and got t-mobile with a galaxy s3.
Good evening everyone. I have a bit of a conundrum and I'm hoping the community can help. A buddy of mine recently gave me his HTC One (M7) to fix. According to him, he attempted to install the latest GPE rom for the phone (his is the Tmobile branded version) and it failed to install. Afterwards it would only bootloop on the HTC logo screen. I took a look at things and here's what I found:
When I first boot the device I see this:

"lightbox_close": "Close",
"lightbox_next": "Next",

"lightbox_zoom": "Zoom",
"lightbox_new_window": "New window",
"lightbox_toggle_sidebar": "Toggle sidebar"
}
I can hold down the volume key on reboot and get into the bootloader. This is the screen:
Initially I couldn't even get into recovery. After a bit of futzing around (and installing the HTC drivers) I was able to use fastboot to push CWM touch 6.0.4.6 onto the device. After that, I was able to fully boot into the CWM environment and navigate around. However, when I try to do basically anything that touches the partitions, the device reboots. I grabbed a screenshot of the mounts and storage page:
The top option which you can't see says mount /system.
Initially I thought I could just copy a ROM.zip over to the device and flash it, however, when I attempt to mount the USB storage, it doesn't do anything. I also noticed two directories that I'd never seen before in CWM, the /firmware/mdm and /firmware/q6. It appears that somewhere along the line my buddy attempted to install a different radio or a rom he was using attempted to. In any case, I can mount up the various folders with no issue except for the two /firmware folders. I just get an error. Any time I attempt to format any of the other folders, the phone simply reboots.
I tried also to install a ROM.zip by sideloading with ADB, but the device isn't recognized by my computer when I do so. I've also attempted to flash TWRP recovery, but any time I try to boot into it, it just bootloops immediately.
I've spent days scouring these forums and google in general to no avail. I'm sure I'm missing something simple or misunderstanding some kind of direction, but at this point I'm so frazzled that I might end up chucking the phone out the window. The end goal here is to just end up with a working, booting phone in any way possible. Once I get it to that point I can handle the rest.
Thanks in advance.

the phone dosnt have an OS on it and its still on hboot 1.44 somehow.... but you can recover it with a otg cable and a flash drive. you cannot mount the One through recovery. but with an otg cable and a flash drive you can place flashable files on the flash drive and flash them through recovery to get the phone in a working state.
Edit:
this should do the trick. CLICK MEH! you will ahve to obtain S-off ofcourse. jsut put a stock ROM on it then use a s-off method then proceed to do GPE conversion.
Thanks for the idea. I've got an OTG cable on the way from Amazon right now, so I'll give it a shot when it gets here and report back.

Hi guys. First post to the forum, been lurking for years, just registered.
I recently updated my phone with the update that Samsung kept bothering me about every 2 hours or so. And It has messed my phone up, it's slow, it drags. It doesn't even show the clock on my lock screen without thinking about it for about 10 seconds. Train wreck.
I've rooted, installed custom recovery, and loaded custom roms on my Galaxy S i9000 and on my grouper Nexus 7. I kinda get how all this works, I'm not a total newb, but with this phone I am at a dead end and i've tried everything I know, and a bunch more tricks I learned here and nothing is working.
My Phone: Samsung Galaxy S3: Canadian (Bell) version SGH-I747M, supposedly the same as the S3 AT&T,

I had to use zadig to replace my drivers for Heimdall
Heimdall will sucessfully flash clockwork recovery, but it refuses to install my CM rom. I haven't tried any other roms, but from what I've read in the forum here, it doesn't seem to matter what rom you use, it just wont do it.
I get Assert, bootloader errors when trying to install from zip in Clockwork Recovery. tried the fix here: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?p=41503727
and it does not work. Odin just says "FAILED" right away.
I thought maybe if I just rooted the phone first, I could at least flash a custom recovery and not have it over written everytime I boot.
I tried CF-AutoRoot, Odin says success, but nothing changes on my phone.
I tried OneClickRoot which worked wonders on my GS i9000 back in the day. No success.
I have tried CM Installer to do it automated, It says success, but no change.
People have reported that Knox may be the problem, but as far as I can tell I don't have it on my phone.
I've been working on this for a day and a half and all I've managed to do is factory reset my phone about 12 times. I need help.. I don't know what to do. Has anybody managed to root their phone or install a custom recovery or rom with a GS3 running 4.4?

Hello all,
Thank you for taking the time to read this. I've got a AT&T M8. Last week I rooted it and converted it to a GPE M8. I am brand new to rooting, but found some videos on YouTube (Sakitech's videos). Everything worked perfectly, and in about 1.5 hours I had a GPE M8. The problem is that I cannot boot into TWRP in order to back-up the phone. When I try to boot into TWRP, I get this picture:

The phone then boots normally after a couple of minutes.
Any ideas of how I can get into TWRP?
Thanks.

I do believe that is the stock recovery image or image that is displayed when you dont have a recovery installed. Either way you didn't flash the TWRP recovery properly. Sorry, try again. Use the toolkit.
What I did with my M7 was download twrp on my PC and the transfer it to my ABD I had made with my various drivers and such. From there I put my phone into bootloader mode and then pressed the power button to get into fastboot. Plug in the data cable and then it will say fastbootusb. Then go to your folder on the PC and open up a command prompt window. CTL and right click of the mouse. Then I typed in "fastboot flash recover recovery.img". Make sure that you have renamed the twrp.img file to " recovery.img". That should get you into twrp recovery the next time you try. I hope I got that right for you.

Thanks for the responses.
I'm showing my newbie stripes here, but how do I flash the TWRP recovery again? Do I need to do anything special, or just go back to that particular step in the video that I used? Will it wipe my phone?
Also, quicksilver53, I apologize, but your post went way over my head. I'd need step by step directions for that.
Well, I installed TWRP again, and it seems to work now. I am currently making a backup. I discovered that installing TWRP does not wipe my phone. Phew ... didn't want to have to reinstall everything all.
Thanks for the responses.
Sorry for that. I'm happy you got it sorted out.

Hi All,
I've not really kept in the loop of custom ROM's for a while now. I got a OnePlus Nord and felt like I didn't need to root or flash it so I left it stock. Anyway, I went to change the software on my POCO F1, but I think I've messed myself up here. I was running Pixel Experience, dont think it was the latest build, it was probably like 3+ months old build. And I am using TWRP 3.5.1_10-0. Now I think I messed up by not removing my lockscreen before doing a wipe in TWRP.
This is what I see when I mount MTP through TWRP (after the wipe):
{
"lightbox_close": "Close",
"lightbox_next": "Next",
"lightbox_previous": "Previous",
"lightbox_error": "The requested content cannot be loaded. Please try again later.",
"lightbox_start_slideshow": "Start slideshow",
"lightbox_stop_slideshow": "Stop slideshow",

"lightbox_download": "Download",
"lightbox_share": "Share",
"lightbox_zoom": "Zoom",
"lightbox_new_window": "New window",
"lightbox_toggle_sidebar": "Toggle sidebar"
}
So I did a wipe, and now I cant access the ZIP's I put on the storage for flashing. And there is no OS installed. And it doesnt seem to let me copy files onto the internal storage.
Anyone got any ideas or tips for how to bring this back? I have TWRP and thats it it seems.
EDIT: After a few reboots and wipes, managed to remove the encryption and I can install a new ROM. I wasn't fussed about losing the data. Updated TWRP to 3.6 official, and installing Lineage OS 18.1, lets see how that goes
Thanks,
