There is a thread with instructions on how to flash the boot.img with fastboot, also:

I had the same issue then I went into TWRP and used the "fix Permissions" under advanced. That fixed the issue for me. Don't know if it "really" did it but never saw it again.

This was a trick i leaned for the OG Evo. If you have FCs then "fixing permissions" usually solved it.

lol hate to laugh, but been reading this thread sporadically throughout the day.....and judging by the massive amount of failures by my s-on, 1.15 hboot brethren trying to flash 3.5, I think I'll stick with 3.4 until all the kinks are sorted out.

[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] loujennings4:
i went S-OFF today just so I could get 3.5 and I'm glad I did. 1024 mb of available memory makes this ROM super fast. So glad I finally decided to go S-OFF, I wish I would have done it awhile ago.
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] Dakidd516:
Starting to wish I waited..cause here I am on a Friday night trying to get my phone working
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] Kilokk:
You are right... however, I think once you get the hang of it until the next exploit and able to achieve S-Off, at least you'll know what to do so it's much easier..Just my opinion. This is exactly the reason why everyone should be S-Off when the opportunity arises. Allllllll future firmware updates will be a piece of cake when you are S-Off. It's simple and you are able to reap the rewards in the blink of an eye.
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] Nygel:
you can tell how to accomplished a task and the next person would not read it and asked the same thing.
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] Kilokk:
I think I remember earlier you said you are S-Off, but were on TWRP 2.2.1, but then upgraded to 2.2.2.0. So let me ask... did and do you have themes applied for TWRP? If so, did you remove them before you flashed the upgrade. If you did not remove the " THEME " folder prior to the upgrade, it has been known to cause problems. ***Just taking a shot in the dark here bro because you at this point should be good*** Whatever the issue is you are experiencing is fixable without a doubt. Hang in there... :cool:

Hboot 1.15.0000 users

For those of us on Hboot 1.15.0000 with S-ON, this is the best and easiest method to use for flashing MeanROM 3.5.

Being that I can't flash the radio or firmware what benefits am I missing out on from the latest update?

Thank You
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] Kilokk:
Because of the information in the quotes above. #1 you will be able to move forward... #2 you will have the experience and knowledge on a work around that will allow you to have nearly everything that is available in future ROM updates until the new exploit is available to achieve S-Off and the new stock kernel.
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] banccalif:
I know right haha, im done now.. I think:rolleyes:
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] Game619:
you can flash firmware, but because u have s-on, just means the phone acts more secure, but theres a few methods theres a few who do this by downloading a app, and doing it on phone only,

for myself i do it the old fashion way using usb bootloader and recovery for rom, its basically looking inside the rom getting that boot file which contains the firmware using usb bootloader it can be flashed that way, and radio is definitely major improvement!!! cant wait for the rest of the tweaks on 3.6 meanrom

and if need the steps using usb bootloader search on my post before this which will give u instructions how to do it that way
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] Kilokk:
It's never done... :laugh: people don't want to go through over 8700 posts to find one answer. I know I have a hard time with it sometimes when you don't word your search correctly. There just needs to be more people like you that are willing to provide the answers. :good:

No themes...just plain old sense
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] bog3nator:
This thread has become nothing more then blaming the Rom for not installing when if you are s-on you HAVE to flash the kernel first through the flash GUI app or fastboot or the Rom will not boot.

This is not the roms fault but HTC for putting people in this position.
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] Dakidd516:
No themes jus plain Jane sense
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] CBRRider:
If it can be done, why has no one said how to do it? I've seen multiple posts on how to update the ROM and kernel but nothing on the firmware. I was under the impression that on HBOOT 1.15 S-ON you can update everything but the radios. Can anyone on HBOOT 1.15 S-ON verify this? Anyone in general know how to update all this? Thanks ahead of time.
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] cruise350:
You are giving out wrong information! You are not suppose to install anything from the Meanrom folder. Mikey left out the script that automatically installs that folder so the folder on your internal sdcard is from the old base and the reason people are messing up there install. Mikey clearly states this, and if you want to install the 4x4 Rosie you have to extract from the Meanrom install zip. If you open the zip file with an archive viewer you can extract the Rosie file from the sdcard zip in the rom file. There is only one file in there.

Again, do not install any of the mods that are in the Meanrom folder those are for the old 3.4 Meanrom not the new 3.5 Meanrom.

HTC EVO LTE UNLOCKED BOOTLOADER WITH S-ON

HBOOT-1.15.0000

How to update to latest firmware and rom. (how i did it and worked)

1.) Download adb.zip (the attached file) & also download meanrom v3.5

2.) Extract adb.zip to C: drive (so folder will be located as C:/adb/)

3.) Pull/drag the boot.img from the MeanROM zip and put it in C:/adb/ (this basically will copy n paste for you)

4.) Reboot into recovery, Once in TWRP recovery, choose “Wipe”. Next Choose “Factory Reset”. Swipe to wipe.

5.) Next, go back to main menu and choose “Install”.Browse your filesystem and find the ROM zip file you copied over earlier and install it.

6.) Once done installing ROM zip file(s), choose “Wipe cache/dalvik” and swipe.

7.) Hit the back arrow, go to Roboot, choose into Bootloader

8.) Plug in phone to computer, and your phone should be in bootloader. Once in bootloader, it should show "FASTBOOT USB"

9.) On the computer, run the command prompt, change the directory to C:/adb/ (using the command "cd /adb" without the quotes)

10.) Type in "fastboot flash boot boot.img" without the quotes

11.) You'll see it print out that it is sending the boot.img (you'll also see a vertical bar on the screen of your phone). It then will report that the send was ok a minute or so later. After that, it writes the boot.img, then says ok.

12.) Under Bootloader, scroll down to Reboot and hit power button to restart the phone and let the phone restart and wll finish installing meanrom 3.5 & latest firmware

(***note you can also let the rom install first, let it reboot system after step 6, then once loaded reboot into bootloader and begin from step 8 to flash firmware, but i like to do it all in one nutshell and save some time )

I want to make sure we are talking about the same thing... I am only referring to TWRP themes. :good:
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] rpenrod23:
Actually, the info you provided is incorrect. If you look inside of 3.5 itself, you will see that there is in fact a MeanRom folder that gets copied to the SD card on install, and inside of that folder is the 4x4 rosie.
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] kusanagi-sama:
I could be wrong, but it seems this ROM isn't using the ringers you set for a contact, instead its using the system default.

App Associations is Back

I checked in the build.prop file and the edits were there to get rid of the App Associations, but I still see them in the settings. I guess this is something that mikey hasn't got to yet???
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] elas123:
and mike said he forgot to copy the folder over in the install. so that one is the old one along with the old ones. this is what mike said pages ago
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] banccalif:
How would you go about flashing just the firmware? Specifically
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] Dakidd516:
I've got no themes what so ever ...
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] cruise350:
Those are great instructions for flashing a kernel,but that is not the firmware, which includes the radios, pri, and several other firmware bits that cannot be installed unless you are s-off or on the 1.12 hboot. The new radios are one of the biggest improvements of the new ota. Solves most of the 3G/LTE problems. Without the radios you are definitely missing out.

On another note, those of you holding out for an s-off for the 1.15 hboot are in a fantasy world. If it hasn't happened yet it won't happen. There is no reason to keep hoping. They never achieved s-off again for the 3d after the new hboot came out for it. If I even had any of the programing knowledge required to achieve s-off I would switch my efforts to the new hboot since the majority of the users are probably on that now.
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] Socrguru:
No cruise is right... Just checked the install script and the code to copy that folder isn't there. Sorry for misinforming, must have missed that post from Mikey in the 200 or so from today :rolleyes:

Strangely, I flashed the old one (I guess) and it works just fine. Guess I'll go flash the new one and see if anything changes.
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] Game619:
when your flashing boot.img is "flashing" firmware(using USB Bootloader) and you get the boot.img from the meanrom zip file, because mike included the new kernal and does not update hboot, just kernal with 2.13.651.1 build (new update :) )
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] mrshades812:
Well I don't know who is right or wrong on the 4x4 stock rosie, but I flashed the one in the meanrom folder and my phone didn't explode... Go figure?

Sent from the future, without LTE!
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] banccalif:
The rom doesn't include the radios tho, so that can't work to get the firmware
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] Game619:
Ok so basically we are on s-on, when flashing the rom, firmware/radio/prl does not update because the phone is just more secured cause of s-on

so with usb bootloader those like me that are on s-on, can install that firmware/radio/prl update everyone else getting can be found boot.img file, ill even include it as an attachment here. So basically, for every update, for us on s-on, we will always look into newest rom, like the one coming on meanrom v3.6, with mikes tweaks we always have to look inside zip file and always pull out the boot.img file from the newest meanrom updates

This is great for.me
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] CBRRider:
That's what I've been afraid of and thinking the last day or so :( I'm thinking I'll never have S-OFF and I really don't want to miss out on the improvements with the update. Especially when jellybean comes out for our phones. I'm fine with my phone right now at 3.4 so I'll give it another week or so. But if there still isn't a way to achieve S-OFF with HBOOT 1.15, I'm just going to unroot, take the update and root again. Pain in the ass but oh well...don't really have a choice I guess.
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] Bountyhunter1000:
I believe you are right. I'm having the same issue.

[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] kiit408:
A lot of problems for first day but everything tends to settle guys. Another recommendation to those worried about the 4x4.... Just go to a different launcher and you should be set. Look at those with custom home screens. A lot better and set for your own creative settings. Just something to bring up
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] Game619:
we probably wont have s-off for a long time, but you can still update the firmware,

Phone: HTC EVO 4G LTE

HTC Sense: 4.0

Software number: MeanROM ICS v3.4

Kernel version: 3.0.8-g3eff5ac-dirty (EvilZ #25)

Baseband version: 1.05.11.0606

Build number: 1.22.651.3

HBOOT: 1.15 S-ON

Recovery: TWRP 2.2.2

I see you updated your firmware to evil kernal, it will be the same process for meanrom v3.5 and when mike comes out with jellybean meanrom we will update by installing the rom first, cause we are on s-on, second step is to usb fastboot to install the firmware like you did with evil kernal
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] astarling10:
just for clarification: if my phone looks exactly like this, do I have the updated firmware that came out in the last couple of days?
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] CBRRider:
I used fastboot for 3.1 but have used Flash Image GUI since. Joey who wrote the app is really cool and very helpful as well. I highly recommend the app. As for updating, if I'll never be able to update the radios, that's going to suck..especially when LTE hits my area on about 6 months.
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] Game619:
hmm...well let me ask you this, why else would you use flash image GUI, cause even with s-on we can flash any rom just using recovery, and most of mikes meanroms were based on stock...up until evil kernal....what do you think your flashing with flash image GUI??? it has to be the latest firmware that mike is providing everyone with his updates why else would his roms be big as 500mb+, those with s-off have the luxury of not having to take an extra step we do using either flash image GUI or USB Fastboot
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] cruise350:
Game619,

I don't want to keep proving you wrong, but even your screen shots prove it. Your radios have not updated. Neither has the firmware. You keep talking about boot.img. The boot.img is the kernel and only the kernel. You have not updated the firmware. If you had, you screen shot would have showed your baseband(radio) as 1.12 something something. Yours shows 1.05 which is the old radio and firmware. Sure, with the new kernel loaded you can run meanrom v3.5. Bur you are missing the benefits of the new firm are which is the radio, pri, and several other firmware bits that cannot be installed when you are s-on with hboot 1.15. I am only trying to make the point that you are not in any way flashing the firmware with your method, only the kernel.

And not to rub it in, but I am s-off running the complete firmware and my phone is screaming. But if I Wasn't fortunate enough to be s-off, I would run the ruu and take the full upgrade to hboot 1.19 and the new firmware. Then unlock, install twrp, and load up meanrom v3.5.

Sent from my fast as hell phone.
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] CBRRider:
I use it for the kernel, that's it. I download the ROM, flash the kernel using Flash Image GUI, reboot to recovery right after, then install the rest of the ROM. I thought the firmware and base are a separate file(s) to install. And that they had to be installed before installing 3.5 or later. But either way, I'm going to wait till more of the bugs are worked out of MeanROM before I update. I'm happy with 3.4 right now and really don't want to do a clean install right now.
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] kenpen:
Since am s-on, hboot 1.12...only flashed radio.. what other firmware can I flash and can you point me to where I can find link
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] CBRRider:
That's what I thought :( looks like I'll be unrooting in the next week or so. What's the best way to do that? Can you point me in the right direction please? I'm thinking just flash a stock ROM and lock it back up. Then run the update and root again, correct?

---------- Post added at 10:35 PM ---------- Previous post was at 10:32 PM ----------

If you are on 1.12 and S-ON, get S-OFF. That or trade phones with me because it should be a crime to have HBOOT 1.12 and only be on S-ON! Haha
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] astarling10:
guess it will be a late night tonight. i'm gonna take the plunge and unroot, lock bootloader and install the update so i get the newest prl, profile, radio, etc. and then come back to mean rom. FML
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] Kilokk:
OK.... so let's see if we can cover some of these one by one and have some fun too....

**I will be the first... well on of the first to say that I have NOT used this option before in fear of causing problems with new data...**

**Yes... kind of, but from what I understand, this is only pulling app data for the most part, I could be wrong. I didn't do extensive research, but I did test it and guess what... it worked. All of the information I wanted restored regarding apps, WiFi connections, bluetooth, etc.. was restored. I will have to do further research and testing to determine if any system information is restored which we do not want.**

**Fix Permissions is a great tool that often gets over looked... I think because...wait for it... IT'S EASY. Sometimes it seems too easy and is passed off as a waste of time. For me when dirty flashing and having issues with apps... in particular sms/mms, gmail, google +, camera issues, other mail (mail.apk), processor.acore, force closes... this is on OG EVO 4G & EvOLTE, ... fix permissions can often... not always, but a lot of times correct a problem.**

**I think you need to maybe as just discussed, try to fix permissions or download v3.5, do a full wipe with Superwipe, and reinstall, I know you did a clean install before, but with the possibility of a bad download, this seems to be the obvious next step.**

**It can be fixed... I'm sure of this.**

**People are anxious for Mikey's updates, because they are always good.**

**If you're good, you're good. Either way Mikey's next release will be stellar, especially after seeing all of the traffic and topics today regarding this release. I'm sure at one point he did a facepalm and wished he had not done the beta's and release prior to full functionality. However, with so many people wanting everything right now, these are the types of results we can expect. It's a tough choice to make sometimes, but I know overall when everything is said and done, the next release for those S-Off and even those S-On who are willing to take a few extra steps to install the next release will be thrilled.**

Patience young padawans.... and old ones too. :p

Other than that, .6 is running real well I just need to disable the 360 or wait for it to be fixed.
