[Q] Can't flash ROM - Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE

I have an Evo LTE I used the RUU to get to 4.3 sense 5. I unlocked with htcdev and I used rumrunner to s off. But when I try to flash a rom it sticks at the white screen with htc and red writing under. I relocked and used the RUU to get the phone back. I'll post a pic of the bootloader screen when I can. right now it says - relocked, jewel pvt ship soff rl, cid-spcs_001, hboot-2.10.0000, radio-1.13.11.1105, opendsp-v33.1.0.45.1128, emmc-boot. I tried cm12, dirty unicorn and another I don't remember the name of. any ides on what the problem or solution might be. I've haad a few android phones now, but I guess I haven't gotten it completely down yet.

This is what it looks like when I try to flash.

I got slimkat to install. I wanted to check out lollipop, but I think I might go back to 4.3 or sense 5.5. If anyone has any ideas though, I would still like to give cm12 a try.

You're using the wrong version of TWRP. Updating your device to Android 4.3 changed the partition layout which the official TWRP hasn't accounted for. You need to use Captain Throwbacks TWRP (Post 3): http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2639180

I wasn't sure on this. CWM touch didn't work, twrp seems to work ok and when I searched for capn's twrp, the thread I found said that the newer versions of twrp are ok to use. thank you though, I wasn't sure when I'd get a response. I'm liking the sense 5.5, but I do like trying different roms. I used carbon 4.4 on my atrix hd.
do you happen toknow if i can turn off blinkfeed on sense 5.5 rom?

And sorry, there are a lot of links in post 3, could you tell exactly which one, Thank you.

According to Captain Throwback the official version of TWRP works fine on the new partition layout.

That's where I'm confused. Because several thread for rims say to use captain throwback's twrp and he says the new one works. As far as I know the one I have is the newest, but I can't flash any lo rims I tried and one that was jb or kk. But I did get Zionist to install and another kk Rom. I am currently using sense 5.5 and may just stay with it since I can't seem to get much to work. Any suggestions for a good sense Rom? And is there a working sense 6 Rom, I saw a few things that say there is, but all of them I see have no service or camera.
And thanks again everyone.

My twrp was 2.8.3.0. I switched to capt throwbacks and was able to install cm12. not sure why.

InsertCoin port in original section is a fully working sense 6 port. It was my daily until I got my m8

I thought it had issues with wifi and hotspot. if not I will definately try it out. thanks.

i have his same problem and screen. i flashed newest cptb twrp, and it cant mount /data. i tried like all 4 of his recoveries and it cant mount data, so i cant flash any rom. the newest twrp cptb just goes on and off and on and off... the older ones will at least boot, but i cant flash anything.
to explain a bit more, it fails even when i try factory reset in bootloader or a working twrp.

[Q] JellBAM, CM10.1 mods after install touch screen stops working, Noob help please?

Hello, my apologies if this problem has arisen in the past. however, after rigorously browsing the forums, I came up short.
When I install/ flash the jellybam rom or cm10.1 rom, the screen stops working except for in bootloader and twrp recovery. I heard you have to downgrade the touch panel, how do i do that?
I have;
-HBOOT 2.09
- build 3.19 and I belive everything else is up to date on the latest software.
I _think_ you need to update the touch panel drivers/firmware also, located here: http://themikmik.com/showthread.php...LE-Jewel-Radio-Collection&p=220556&viewfull=1
tp_SYN3202.img is the latest, but it says it will break touch screen in recovery and on non-stock roms if done incorrectly.
I would ask this question in captain_throwback's latest firmware thread before you install tp_SYN3202.img
I'm only pointing you in the right direction, I have NO experience with updating the touch panel .img - please ask someone who has dealt with this before you do ANYTHING (I just dont want you to break your evo!)

The newest touch panel firmware doesn't work with AOSP, AOKP, 3.15 based ROMs (or lower), or older recoveries..You need to revert to the old TP firmware before flashing any ROM not based on 3.16.

As far as I know all the files are located in Capt Throwback's firmware thread. You probably need S-Off to flash them though. The new 3.16 OTA updated the touchscreen's firmware. This new update is only good with the latest TWRP and 3.16 based roms..so to flash anything on the old base or AOSP you need the old touchscreen firmware. Hope that clears it up a little.

Yes, I've finally got it to work! Thanks for all the support. All I had to do was follow dirty racun's s-off method. For some reason doing that my build number went from 3.16 to 3.15 and my band version downgraded from 1.12.11.1210 to 1.12.11.1119.

I seem to have the same problem.
I'm running the viper rom on my evo 4g. Was going to upgrade to the latest version and wanted to update firmware first.
I grabbed the latest twrp (4.2.1) installed that, rebooted.
I then grabbed the latest firmware from themikmik, installed that and rebooted.
And i then grabbed the tp_syn3202 update and installed that and rebooted
And now my touch screen does not respond to any touch input. I don't know what to do at this point since they only thing i can do is either force the phone to reboot, or go into hboot by holding down the volume down and camera keys. And all that does is ask me if i want to reinstall the tp update.
I don't know how to get into twrp to even try and install the latest rom assuming that would fix the issue.

nevermind - i got it. I didn't realize if i left the PJ75img.zip file on there it would automatically go into trying to update and not give me any other option. I deleted that file and then i was able to get into twrp and install the rom update.

You have to downgrade your touch panel driver to the 3.15 version. Check the thread below and go to the downloads link in the first post. The touch panel driver is installed the same way you upgrade firmware, through the bootloader.
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1704612
On the page with the downloads, the touch panel zip is in the second post and is labeled " tp_SYN3202.img zip". If you've forgotten how to do a firmware update, hit the top link in my sig and look for the section on firmware updates.
Seriously though, there are plenty of newer, up-to-date ROM's out there. Why would you bother with this one?

[Q] stable Cyanogenmod 10 stuck at bootup

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.

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?

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:

But, I really want cyanogenmod 10 with 4.2.2. So my search is still open. will take a look at the moonshine.
You guys are rock..prompt and very quick responses..I wish I would have do root and participate in this forum years ago

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!

HELP!! DNA back to stock

So my dna is s-off and rooted via moonshine (purchased used already like this)
Twrp recovery is installed and the ota is failing!!
I have searched for hours on how to return back to stock and find great info and I still don't understand it (obviously a newb)..
One thing I have installed on my windows 7 pc is the dna toolkit (will this get me back to stock?).
Can anyone point me to the most basic route to achieve this?
My wife thinks I'm crazy with the amount of time I have invested in trying to resolve this issue
Thanks, Matt
This may be a whole lot quicker of a resolution...
But you need a completely stock rom and recovery to take an OTA.
An OTA will not apply in a custom recovery.
None of the stock roms previously posted were clean enugh to accept the OTA that I could find.
So you would either have to use the decrypted RUU, take 5 OTA's and eventually get where you are going.
Or use the link I provided which is a clean enough base that it will allow OTA's to flash if desired in the future.(with stock recovery loaded)

I am a brand new DNA owner and not on Verizon so I can't get the OTA update. I plan to use it on ST via GSM. May I install your Rom above on a completely stock device that does not appear to be unlocked, s-off or rooted? And how would I go about doing that?

It may have been rooted at one time but I'm not sure since I bought it used. Thanks for any guidance on this.

You have to have recovery installed so you can flash his rom, so yes, you need to root it first, use moonshine method, then install on your phone something like flash img gui or even twrp, then get the twrp img. and flash it to your phone. After twrp is installed(after reboot into normal phone) you can download his rom to your phone and flash it using twrp again, it'll reboot into recovery automatically and install the rom .
Are you still needing help. No offense to the other guy but what he said made no sense.

[Q] Can't get ANYTHING to flash on my EVO 4G LTE

So I had a working Evo 4G LTE with CM11 on it, it was retired when I got a new One M8. I needed to pull Jewel out of retirement for another number, and it wouldn't activate. I understood that CM11 does not have the activation modules on it and I need to go back to stock or rooted stock, or a rom that has the activation software on it. So I chose an Android 4.3 stock rooted rom deodexed. I managed to get the recovery updated to close to the latest one, the errors i was getting with the earlier version seemed to focus on not being able to mount sd card. Updating the TWRP seems to have fixed that particular error, but now I'm getting the error executing updater binary. I also managed to wipe out the rom that was at least running even tho I couldn't make phone calls. I've rooted a couple of times and I am marginally able to follow rooting directions, if anyone cares to help me get back on track here. From the looks of that error, I've got to do something with that hboot perhaps? I'm attaching a few screenshots that show the error and some versions of the stuff it's running. No booting to a rom, I only have the recovery and wasn't able to connect adb when in fastboot- I'll have to cover that whole adb thing again if it turns out I need to, it doesn't seem to work on my computer. Any pointers would be appreciated-

I believe I did, since I had CM11 working (mostly) on the phone in Feb or March of this year. It was my understanding I had to have the new layout to run cm11, which I believe was based on KK4.3. I do recall having a lot of problems getting the camera and some apps to work because of the new and "better " partition scheme.

As far as I know cm11 didn't need the new layout. If you aren't positive you have updated to the new JB4.3 layout I'd recommend running the ruu, reflash Captains twrp and try the rom again.

There's your problem. You need to flash CM11 for the old partition layout (or upgrade to the new layout and flash the version of CM11 that you were originally trying to flash).

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

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

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
