Y do you need to uninstall a CPU app. Another rom may not even have it and if you follow ROM instructions you should wipe anyway. If a different kernel can't be set to specs of another the app will be meaningless

The mikmik is a carbon copy of this op basically.

Back when I had the x2 I would have posted this in the dev thread and not had an issue but a million thanks but this forums well is full of haters so I said screw it. Some of the haters are devs themselves. Kinda sad.

Bump cuz it should be stickiness!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] chriswbush:
I was saying if your changing kernels not roms make sure to uninstall the CPU app or you'll have huge issues like the kernel staying at a constant 2.1 or 1.9 depending on the kernel max clock....other than that this method is great only downpart is you need a pc with you to flash a new kernel , and yeah its funny how this is here but I totally over looked it and the mikmik one was easy to find......I still think this should be posted for everyone to see in development or in original because that's where's the kernels at make it a sticky lol
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] motcher41:
Oh I see what your saying I just never ran into it. Consider the op updated ;)

Ugh this phone sucks post update...probably not gonna see soff for months if ever. I miss stable aosp...I miss the openness of sammy. I was iffy of ever buying an HTC product again after the mess that was the eris. I regret not exchanging it within 14 days.

I'm considering either the sprint gnex (which I had on vzw) or the s3.

Anyways I will keep on top of my two threads as they will be very needed in the future but as of Tuesday my new replacement will be on eBay and ill be on a Samsung Moment untill it sells.
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] sgt. slaughter:
what sucks about the phone post update besides SOFF?....which is something that doesn't matter but for basically 1 thing really as it means you have to attach to a computer to flash some things....

lol.... Gotta new update dropping this week possibly.... ;)

and your SOFF cry.....I highly doubt you have much right to care about it as anything you want to do you can do on the SON unlocked devices....might take 12 extra steps but it can be done....

if your looking for stable AOSP....you should check the work deck/toast have been doing for CM10...

pfffff samsung moment.....lol
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] motcher41:
Ha ha.....not a cry for s off. I said stable aosp....not pre alpha or maybe alpha. Deck and toast are doing good but its still a ways off.

You doubt I have the right to care about something? I hope that's a type o.

I know you don't really need soff for most things hence this thread.....

I have been having issues since the update and my pre updated replacement that are just making me think twice..the new update rolling off...until whenever the source drops...2 to 4 months from then...it'll be the same old song and dance

And then to top it off HTC blocks the ability to ruu backwards...done with it.

Want Dev/user friendly? Go to Samsung. ;)
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] antp121:
Couldn't agree more. I'm on a rezound. All the same. Even with an unlocked bootloader and s-off, HTC devices are never gonna be as open as Samsung or nexus devices. They will always be superior in the development community. Just my $0.02.
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] ztotherad:
figured id throw this in here, samsung is the only manufacturer, in the top 3 (samsung, htc, and motorola) that seems to support their devs and the full definition of open software. htc used to care, but pretty much told the dev community to eff off, and motorola is (possibly) starting to care. so why would you stick with a phone that some 3rd party devs are working on, but htc could give a rat's ass about the phone and blocks every single way of doing this and that, or you can go to a truly open source phone where the company takes the input of the dev community to heart?

ps no offense to any of the evo 4g devs that may read this. i may not own the phone, but i fully, and utterly support your hard work that you have and will put into this phone & every other previous and future phone, so thank you guys!

There's yet another further shortcut for Windows 7 that doesn't require you to "cd" to the folder. Navigate to the folder through Windows Explorer, and look at the top location/navigation bar. (Below)

Click on the bar so the text is highlighted.

Delete it, and instead put in "cmd" no quotes, and hit Enter.

is fastboot still the only way method?
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] motcher41:
Is your bootloader in fastboot mode? The only other way is with the app flash img gui. There is a link in op. Recheck u followed the steps and u r on the 1.15 hboot right?
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] jkrlvgn:
Have to have your phone in fastboot usb mode. If you don't have the right drivers set up for your phone, then it won't work. Same as you would do for doing anything via adb.
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] motcher41:
Man idk something is borked with the setup. I wonder if he has htc drivvers installed
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] scottspa74:
Before attempting any steps here, make sure you have a connection to your device. Waiting for device is what you get when your PC isn't properly connected to device. While in fastboot, plug in USB, open cmd window and type fastboot devices and see what it returns. Should bring a serial # of your device. Alternatively, while booted into your ROM/system, open cmd window and type adb devices. Should also return a serial.

You have ths sdk with fast boot.exe and adb.exe installed, and Java, no?

Not having Java installed was the problem I had when first trying to use adb/fastboot

Good luck
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] motcher41:
I used to do the reboot to bl then the fastboot and it said waiting for device and would flash almost instantly when itcame up

Thanks again. Too bad you're swapping out your Evo LTE. Your loss. :p

**** To the Moderators: This needs to be a sticky since this device needs a little more patience than most to mod it! Coming from a lot of other android devices, I had no problem changing out kernels and ROMS with help from the XDA community from informational posts like this. The Evo LTE is a little tricky to "play" with once it has been updated with the 1.15 HBOOT, but this thread got me thru it with success. Pls consider making this a sticky. I can personally say it works well. :good:

I received my replacement EVO 4G LTE yesterday, but unfortunately it came with Hboot 1.15.0000. I I rooted and Unlocked my bootloader using the HTCdev method. I rebooted the phone to verified that supersuer was installed and then boot phone into recovery(twrp 2.1.8)

1. I flashed MeanRom 3.4

2. The phone fail to go through a complete flash and then preceded to reboot

3. the phone is currently stuck on the white screen that states "HTC quietly brilliant" and below that it has in red text "This build is for development purposes only.......

4. It has been stuck on that screen for over 15 minutes and counting

Please help me save my phone:(

The stock rooted ROM is available. As far as the firmware, your only options are not to update at all, or update everything, including HBOOT, and risk never being S-OFF.

Isn't that a risk already since on the 1.15?
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] evomike77:
Chances are HTC found a weak spot in 1.15, which is why they updated to 1.19 hoping to do some preventative maintenance. And now the devs can compare the 2 and find the differences

Didn't read much but all you have to do is flash twrp to your phone....hook phone to computer and cmd window

[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] lmatth13:
So that I am understanding this due to being on Hboot 1.15 I won't be able to update the firmware and radio? I will only be able to flash a rooted version of 2.13.651.1, Absent the radio, how would I benefit from all the new features? (The Wifi, bluetooth and other fixes)
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] evomike77:
If you are rooted s-on hboot 1.15, the only way to get new firmware is to relock and take ota or run ruu.

sent from LTEVO
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] PillowMetal:
I can't try this because I am S-OFF, but in the last OTA update, there was a line at the end of the updater-script that allows HTC to flash the "firmware.zip" in the root of the OTA zip file from recovery: write_firmware_image("PACKAGE:firmware.zip", "zip");

I am thinking someone with S-ON should try the following if it hasn't been tried already:

1) Make sure you have stock recovery, hboot 1.15, and a relocked bootloader.

2) Grab the OTA zip file from XDA when it is posted (maybe it has already)

3) Remove hboot and recovery from the firmware.zip file contained in the OTA file.

4) Re-sign the resulting OTA file with "testsign.jar" or ZipSigner2 from the market.

5) Rename the file "update.zip" and place it on the internal sdcard.

6) Boot into stock recovery where it will find the update zip and run it.

7) HTCDev unlock again, flash TWRP, SU, busybox, custom ROM etc.

Alternatively, you could run the RUU when it becomes available, with your phone unplugged, after extraction of files and before pressing OK to continue, remove the hboot and recovery images from the "rom.zip" in your temp directory, resign, plug your phone in, and let the process continue by clicking the OK button.

This may result in all ROM and firmware updates (/system, radio, kernel, PRL, PRI) to be flashed from recovery and still retain hboot 1.15. It does seems like a lot of work though and the only benefit is to retain your original hboot and recovery, and for that matter it may fail to update anyway if HTC expects a certain signature on the OTA zip file.
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] Captain_Throwback:
Won't work. I'm S-OFF and it doesn't work, so there's no way it'll work for S-ON.

It'll fail signature verification as soon as the firmware.zip is modified.
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] motcher41:
Can anyone verify my op still works on 1.19 hboot?
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] bivrules:
Ok I am on 1.15 hboot s-on and flashed this rom successfully using flash GUI app. You have to download GUI from the app market first. Then use titanium to back up your apps and data. CLEAR GOOGLE WALLET APP SETTINGS. Do a back up using TWRP just in case. Download the zip file on your computer then extract it on the computer. Put the boot file and the whole zip file on sd card. The from your original rom flash the boot file only using GUI app. Then reboot into recovery. In recovery you do a full wipe with cache and dalvik. Then flash rom zip file and you're done!
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] motcher41:
Thanks for summarizing the OP....
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] Captain_Throwback:
You don't have to take the boot.img out of the ROM zip for Flash Image GUI to flash it. That's just a waste of time.

Current Device: HTC EVO 4G LTE | ROM: toasted-deck CM10 | Kernel: Stock

CM10 installation

So I have a developer unlocked version of 1.15.651.3 (S-ON) and I was trying to follow instructions on how to install it but I am getting stuck. I have the Flash Image GUI, and when I go to flash the boot.img of CM10 before it starts, I get a caution: potential issue error stating, "This is not recommended! By flash only the boot.img file, some features will be broken until the ROM for this kernel is also loaded. Proceed at your Own Risk."

I don't get how I load the ROM kernel, I apologize, I am extremely new to Android (been a BBerry user for 6+ years) and I don't know what most of the lingo going on is.

PS. I also did the flash boot img command from my laptop, but that lead me no where, so I don't get how using Flash Image GUI and doing what I did on my computer being two seperate entities.

So if I want to get the new radios and firmware and decide to lock/unroot. Can I just except the OTA and let it do the update and unroot me instead? Just thinking that would be faster than going through all the steps. Then just unlock/root out after.
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] nuc noob:
Idk, but it just seems about as much trouble as doing the RUU. Still have to re unlock it and basically start the process over to get to flash capable. I'll take the long way (RUU) because last time I tried taking the OTA, it just wouldn't work. I was only rooted at the time and couldn't get it to complete the install. So ended up RUUing anyways and doing the HTC devunlock. Need the radios too, so I'll give it a shot. Gotten used to fasbooting the kernel prior to flashing ROMs anyways.

My phone is S-On and I followed the instructions as directed. I got CM10 nightlies to work just fine. I decided today that i want to revert back to Sense and use Meanrom. I flashed the kernel(boot.img) from Meanrom, ensured that i was running the updated TWRP, wiped, and installed meanrom. However, it is stuck in a bootloop. What did I miss?
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] om4:
When you wiped cache and dalvik did you select factory restore and then wipe system?

You need to either wipe everything manually or run one of the wipe scripts available in the forums prior to flashing a different ROM. It helps to minimize any data corruption that may occur from flashing between ROMs
