I got an evo lte. I unlocked, flashed recovery and rooted. I don't think the recovery or the root worked right. I was on 4.1, root checker showed rooted, but busybox wouldn't install and I couldn't flash ROMs.... Kept getting an unable to execute binary error. I relocked, flashed stock 4.3 sense 5 with ruu. Had no service, flashed again, phone works now with no noticeable issue. I went to unlock so I could flash recovery and root. But there's no boot loader menu, it only says "press power to reboot". Not sure what to do, maybe relock and run the ruu again?
Thanks
stupid
I had a pj75img file or whatever the exact name is. i felt stupid when I realized why.

Ok so after getting 4.5.141 to load via motos update I attempted to root the phone. Which by all accounts looked like it worked however....
My phone does not appear to still be BL unlocked, and there are no apps in the list under superuser. I downloaded CWM and tried flashing then going into recovery and that fails even through prompted for SU by the apps it says it work etc.
Now I cannot even get into recovery via any method. Via CWM it errors with a message cannot boot 2 error then loads rsd mode. Via power on/vol dwn it just gives the android dude with ! in the triangle.
Ok so how do I fix this? I need to be able to root, unlock the BL (if even possible) and fix my recovery partition. (any command used from fastboot fails I suspect its still a permissions root issue)
Any help is appreciated.
NVM I fixed it.
I re-ran the unlock process what was funny is when I flashed the sbf to unlock the BL the screen immediately showed the "unlocked" in the upper left hand corner. When I went to do the fastboot oem unlock part it said already unlocked. (I tried this earlier and it kept failing I think cause I forgot the sbf.
I then went through the steps to re-root it, then re-flashed the newer CWM and now I am able to get into recovery etc.
i was previously running Meanrom 6.4 rooted S-ON and i decided to S-OFF my phone
i have RUU my phone and unlock the bootloader through dirtyracun s-off but when i was about to run the final step which is RabiesShot.exe(to S-OFF), my laptop have barely any battery left so i decided to not do that for the time being.
after that, I am still running the RUU 2.13.651.1 - HBOOT 1.19 without Root or any mods.
I decided to flash the "PJ75IMG - Stock Kernel". i renamed it to PJ75IMG and put it on my sdcard and it did successfully flash.
the problem is that my phone wont boot past Sprint Logo(it would suddenly black screen of death).
also, since i have no way of removing the PJ75IMG on the SD card, everytime i try to access recovery, it automatically tries to flash that file then it would exit and reboot automatically.
the only way for me to skip that part is to remove the sdcard.
my TWRP is also gone so i cannot flash any roms.
i have no card reader so i cannot place any stuff on my micro sd. :crying:
i though about downgrading the kernel to the previous working version through fastboot but when i looked for the files, they say downgrading would result in a brick.
is there any way i can maybe fastboot jellybean or ics or the kernel to make my phone work again?
edit:
if i did flash the Jellybean with my current kernel, is there a way to achieve S-OFF?
i also havent found stock jellybean rom that isnt rooted
Just...

If i were you, i would go back through the s-off process if you can, that will get you back to stock and s-off, then install latest twrp, and then instal OMJ's custom release of the new JB update, it will give you root and the new update, Install the radios since you are s-off and you are good to go.
You need to finish that last step to gain s-off though lol. You should have waited.
Also, im not sure if that is just the kernel, but if it is, just the kernel and nothing else. Then you should be able to do s-off fine still.
Someone correct me if im wrong, i just learned this whole s-off process today so i could do the update.

the thing is the phone wont even boot past the HTC Logo then it would display black screen of death
edit: i found through google saying the error is rekated to the kernel version and i should downgrade first.
is there any safe/reliable method of downgrading the latest kernel from ota (i did not flash the one with the latest hboot but i am still s-on)
i tried to Fastboot RUU but i got an error saying FAILED (remote: 43 main version check fail)

I had the same problem.
1.remove the PJ75IMG file from exrtenal sd card.
2.reboot to fastboot pres factory reset
3. immidietly press and hold volume down, this should get you to recovery.
4. wipe
5. restore a backup rom
6.reboot
It worked for me after hours of trying other methods.
I just went through a bootloop mess. What i did to get my phone back was to use fastboot and use commands (on my pc) like
fastboot flash recovery recovery.img (for TWRP)
fastboot flash boot boot.img (for Kernel)
That got my phone back up and working.
Have you tried this?

ok i believe, fastboot should get you twrp. As will it get you the boot flash.
Fastboot flash zip (latest twrp)
Fastboot flash boot (ICS sense rom's boot.img extracted from zip) (this will get you the kernel)
Reboot hold vol down and power to get to bootloader
select recovery
Twrp wipe and flash ICS rom you got the boot img from. (this will take a bit because it wont install kernel, but you already have it from step 2)
you should boot into the rom. then re-do Dirty Raccoon installation, go all the way through, and you should now be s-off
re-install twrp
Flash radios in bootloader (fastboot flash zip (.zip for radios) (link one from Original android development jelly bean flashables post) (optional)
Go to twrp, factory reset, wipe cache, wipe dalvic, wipe syste.
Twrp Flash OMJ's custom JB release of this update, or stock with goodies, or jewel-swag.
Wipe cache/Dalvic
reboot.
I think this should work but i would immagine you've tried it already. Im running the new kernel and am experiencing no problems with it.
If you're s-off just use fastboot to flash a new kernel, no need to do a factory reset or anything else.
The kernel and ROM must be installed as a pair, just upgrading one isn't going to work.
So I screwed up and cleared my wiped my phone then when I went to flash CM 11 from Pacman I got a failure so I couldn't flash the ROM and it cleared out my Pacman as well so I didn't have any ROMs on my phone and no ROM installed so it would just boot to recovery (i use TWRP). When i tried to put a ROM on to my phone through my computer I got an error and when I tried to use the ADB Sideloader but it just got stuck saying"waiting for device." So I went ahead and re-locked my boot loader and tried to restore the phone with the stock RUU but it just fails every time and I have let it run for an entire day before. So at this point I have an AT&T HTC One that boots to a boot loader then says tampered, re-locked and security warning on the top i can use fast boot (but not sure what to do with it) no ROM to boot to, and cant get to TWRP (unless I unlock boot loader again). Any recommendations would be very helpful.

Unlock it again, run the ruu exe.
Only reason to go through the relock **** is to warranty it.

what ruu are you trying that fails? when does it fail ?
go here and get the correct way to reset you phone to stock
http://www.htc1guru.com/downloads/stock-rom-downloads/ Guru Reset
Thats the same one and I downloaded the RUU for the forth time and it worked I guess I got unlucky. all is good now thanks for the help.
Basically, I need the 4.4.2 OTA.
I unlocked the bootloader. I need root to get S-off. Except I'm currently on S-on and the only way to install a recovery and get root is to have S-off (correct me if I'm wrong). Any workaround to this that isn't super complicated?
I've checked USB ports, and I can't seem to get my device to be recognized. "fastboot devices" shows up nothing. Currently unlocked, and S-on.
Forgot that unlocking bootloader again would wipe my phone, forgot to make backup, so everything's deleted ;(. Not possible to get s-off anymore?
Any help would be appreciated.

You just need an unlocked bootloader to install a recovery, when you are in fastboot (if you turn the phone on and do adb reboot fastboot, or hold down vol down and power and select fastboot when the HBOOT menu comes up) you can do the command line fastboot flash recovery recovery.img (recovery.img being your recovery you want to load) you can then start the phone up, copy superuser.zip on there somewhere and install with your custom recovery.
All that said, you don't need to do any of that to do 4.4.2 OTA, and in fact it wont install if you have a custom recovery. Are you having a problem that it wont download/install. If your phone is stock other than an unlocked bootloader it will install (trust me i just did it). If you have stock recovery just download the 4.4.2 OTA file from the other thread, then save it to the phone somewhere, the go to recovery in HBOOT, wait 1 second and then hold up vol and power for 5 seconds (may have to do this more than once). Menu comes up, do wipe cache, and then do install from device storage.
After thats done you can follow my above instructions and root it
Sorry if I didn't state it more clearly, but my issue is I can't install a recovery. I can boot into bootloader and fastboot but when I type in "fastboot" devices on my PC nothing comes up.

Have you installed HTC Sync? When you boot into the bootloader then fastboot and then plug in your usb cable does it say "fastboot usb" on screen?

I uninstalled HTC sync so as to not have it interfere with any s-off/etc. programs. I still have HTC drivers installed. Re-install both HTC sync and drivers?

HTC Sync won't interfere with anything. You need that and the drivers installed for it to work, I would start there and see what happens.
I'll re-install it again.
Is there anything I can do to just completely get back to stock everything? Willing to manually update it but I'd like to be able to just go to settings and just update via OTA from there.

As long as you have an active AT&T SIM card in there it will update even with an unlocked bootloader, even if its rooted. As long as you didn't mod anything. I just did the update like this, it worked fine.
I've rooted and unlocked the bootloader before but I've unrooted since then. Is there still a chance I just haven't gotten the update pushed to my device yet?

Thanks. I have that file all ready to go in my folder. Only problem I have now is that I can't get s-off. I've installed recovery + custom kernel but the su binaries are outdated for both superSU and superuser. I've tried to flash a 4.3 version of superSU only to have the same error.
I followed instructions for root after I flashed a super tool I also flashed a custom kernel. After I rebooted is where I started to get the "outdated binaries" prompts.

Ok that changes things. IMO you need to backup your data, install the 4.3 RUU to wipe everything out and make sure you have stock recovery, then you can install the OTA zip from stock recovery, or go ahead and download it direct from AT&T. You can then root and go from there. Now as for S-Off if you have HBOOT 1.55 or newer I don't think you can get it. I can't get it on mine I tried every way possible. You don't need S-Off for this to work
So I am a first time rooter, so I'll try my best to use the proper terms and whatnot.
Anyways, I have an unlocked HTC One X+ that I am trying to root. I was using the AIO kit by Hasoon2000. I had my bootloader successfully unlocked, and so I proceeded to continue with rooting. I thought I pushed the SuperSU.zip to the device, because the cmd line said it was successful. So I booted into recovery mode, made a backup, and then when to flash the SuperSU.zip file. However, I could not find it in the file explorer in recovery mode.. so I went to push the file to the phone again, but now it says device not found. The only thing I can think that's happened is my USB debugging got turned off... which is bad. So is SuperSU.zip in my phone somewhere, or am I stuck with a phone that can only go into recovery mode?
Thanks for any help!
I have now similar problem too...
actually I had rooted successfully, but after many failed CM11 installation attempts, I decided to relock the bootloader, in order to update the Firmware. But it didn't work too and I came the way back again, in which I unlocked the bootloader with Unlock Token etc. again. Now the bootloader is unlocked but apparently not rooted!?! I can't push superuser via adb because **Device is not found** and I can only go to TWRP Recovery and bootloader...
COULD SOMEONE HELP??!
PS: when i press the reboot in TWRP, it says that "the phone seems not to be rooted, do you want to install the SuperUser? and when I accept it... it reboots only and nothing does change!
well... im not sure what I did differently but it finally recignized the device!! And now I managed to get everything installed... weird!
