[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] jacker300:
Thanks for the replies, but I managed to fix it by using this version of RUU:

"RUU_SuperSonic_GB_Sprint_WWE_4.24.651.1_Radio_2.15.00.05.02_NV_2.15_release_199233_signed"

Here is what I did in steps and I will try to be descriptive keep in mind that I did this on Windows 7 and Windows vista should be similar but I don't know about XP. I know this seems like a lot of steps, but the whole process took me only about 5-8 mins:

*BEFORE DOING ALL OF THIS DELETE ANY OLD DRIVERS FROM THE DEVICE MANAGER AND YOUR ADD/REMOVE PROGRAMS IN YOUR CONTROL PANEL!*

- Go to this( wwwyou.tube.com/watch?v=qkRN1wd6SEM) video and in the description download the 2 links!. Credit goes to him for uploading them. I can't post them here because I don't got 8 posts yet. Just add the . between "www" and "youtube" and delete the . between "you" and "tube"

1) Download RUU(I don't think the latest one makes a difference either)

2) Download evo drivers

3) Unzip the evo drivers but don't touch them

4) After take out the battery from your evo and your evo should be OFF when the battery is taken out

5) plug in the usb to your evo and computer

6) put the battery back in the evo and hold the "power button" + " volume DOWN" button till you get to a screen with 3 skateboarding robots at the bottom

7) Select fast boot

8) Stay on that screen that shows power down, restart, etc, but DON'T touch anything

9) With your usb still plugged in and being on the fast boot screen you should see your computer installing the drivers for HTC( Doesn't matter if they successfully install or fail. I will get to that)

10) Now on your computer press start and right click on my computer and click manage

11) After that a window should pop up and click on the left hand side click "Device Manager"

12) You should see USB android device or android devices or something. Drop the list down by pressing the "+" next to it on its left

13) "MY HTC" Should show under the box. Right click that and select "update driver software"

14) With a new window popping up something that says search on my computer something like that

Make sure that "check sub-folders" is checked

Now browse and go to the extracted HTC drivers folder and click on it ONCE and DON'T click any of the sub folders within it. Just the folder that has all the other folders in inside it. ( Example you click: Desktop/HTC Drivers, and NOT: Desktop/HTC Drivers/AMD64)

Now it should detect it and install it.

============================================================

*IF YOU DON'T SEE USB ANDROID DEVICE OR ANDROID DEVICES THEN FOLLOW THIS. IF YOU DO SEE IT THEN IGNORE THIS PART AND SKIP TO STEP 15!*

- Ok you might see a yellow triangle box with an exclamation point next to a device in device manager.

- Press the "+" and it should say like ABD device

- Right click on it and click update driver software.

- With a new window popping up something that says search on my computer something like that

- Make sure that "check sub-folders" is checked

- Now browse and go to the extracted HTC drivers folder and click on it ONCE and DON'T click any of the sub folders within it. Just the folder that has all the other folders in inside it. ( Example you click: Desktop/HTC Drivers, and NOT: Desktop/HTC Drivers/AMD64)

- Now it should detect it and install it.

- Follow step 15 now

============================================================

15) Once installed run the RUU file that you downloaded(*Windows 7, Vista users run as admin and compatibility mode of Windows XP Service Pack 3!*)

16) Make sure your evo is still connected and is still in the fast boot screen

17) Follow the onscreen instruction on RUU

18) When a progress bar(0-100% Bar) shows up on RUU just let it do its thing and DON'T OPEN ANYTHING, OR CANCEL RUU!

19) Make sure your computer DOESN'T go in to Sleep, hibernation mode

20) Once it's done it should reboot and your evo should be working.

Cheers! :D

Hope I helped! ;)
