new phone

so im thinking about getting a new or used evo 4g lte from ebay but i was just wondering if i get one with say the newest (ota) from sprint and it has the newest Hboot and S-on how much would it be holding me back if i wanted to start rooting it and installing custom roms?

by the way i use to be on epic 4g touch so i can see why there werent many issues with the bootloaders there so this is something new for me and i just want to know if it is worth it to still get an evo thanks guys!
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] Captain_Throwback:
It wouldn't hold you back at all ;).
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] geekgie:
So here is my strange dilemma. I was trying to flash a ROM but TWRP wouldn't take it because I updated TWRP, so I restored a backup and everything seemed ok. However I could no long access the files on the internal sdcard. I can see and interact with the folders both through ES File Explorer and mounting the sdcard through TWRP or Media Sync but cannot see the files within the folders. I ran a search with ES File Explorer and it found a file I knew was specifically on the internal sdcard.

From what I can tell when I am looking at the sdcard the path is: /sdcard/ext_sd/blah blah. However the path for the file I found was:

MNT

/sdcard/ext_sd/blah blah.

Obviously the MNT refers to mounted, but my question is how do I get it back so the path is mnt/sdcard/ext_sd/blah blah. I've fixed permissions but am unsure what to do next. Any clues?
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] random3:
Really? -__-
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] om4:
There should be an option to switch mount points. If that doesn't work, flash a different version of twrp. I think the newest version was causing a similar issue.

Phone keeps random rebooting

I have a EVO4GLTE running MeanBean v3.07 and it keeps randomly rebooting. I cannot post anything because I am too new and I was trying to see if anyone else has this problem. Sorry if I am posting in the wrong place.
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] cruise350:
Reboots with MeanBean are caused by two things, over clocking/overvolting or using an incompatible governor. If you are over clocking return to the stock settings or try a lower over clock. You may need to increase or decrease your overvolt/undervolt setting. Lastly, the interactivex governor has been causing a lot of reboots for people. If you are using this governor switch back to on demand. All of these settings are adjusted using the sticky settings zip located in the MeanBean folder on the internal sdcard.

So I'm trying to update from CM10 to CM10.1 M2 Nightly, and I've tried wiping Cache, Dalvik, Factory Reset, and System, and I still get bootlooped at the HTC Splash screen.

I am currently S-on. Do I still need to flash kernel separately even though I'm just updating?

If not, what could be the issue?

Thank you. :)

I am stuck in endless boot loop, idk what i did wrong, i cleared all caches, wiped all data, i have s-on and stock rom , twp 2.4.4.0 and it wont load.
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] Sloth:
Hold the power button until the lights at the bottom stop flashing release power

Press vol down and power release power after 1-2 second while still holding vol down this should get you into bootloader

Press vol down to highlight recovery and press power to select this should boot you into twrp

Restore your backup or re-flash your rom
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] mrfantadrink:
I reflashed no luck, and i flashed other roms and same thing.
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] Sloth:
Since you are s-on you have to flash the kernel/boot.img first then the rom or try meanbean it has a kernel installer for s-on folks :D

[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] Sloth:
can you mount your phone to your pc in twrp? if so backup both your int and ext sdcards to your pc and format them both then add the rom back and try re-flashing the rom if you get it to boot make a backup and mount to your pc and move everything back to your phone. I'm kinda at a loss as to why it keeps bootlooping. the other thing you might try is downgrade twrp to 2.3.1.0 click the link in my sig to do that
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] mrfantadrink:
yea i can

you think it might be twrp? because i think it was the 2.1.8 or something that didn't work on my phone so i got the latest 2.4.4.0, i am going to try the twrp first because well i have alot of files on my ext card. if not then i have to choice then to reformat them.

noob rooting mistake

I have an HTC Evo 4G LTE

S-ON

HBOOT 2.09

Radio 1.12.11.1210

OpenDSP v31.1.0.45.0815

Well I had it rooted. I "tried" to install a custom rom. Messed everything up BIG time tried fastbooting recovery nope, tried factory restore nope, TWRP isnt even showing anymore and computer doesn't register when it's plugged in but it does charge. Any ideas?
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] om4:
Can you get to Boot loader at all? If so then I would suggest getting the ruu zip from unlimited io and following their instructions to reset the phone to factory and then root again. It flashes as a zip through fast boot and I've yet to see it fail where as I've seen the ruu.exe fail or cause unwanted side effects numerous times

Have to flash kernel everytime phone is turned off.

I have been having an ordeal with this phone since unlocking and rooting. I have S-on. Every time the phone is turned off when it is turned back on it goes into the CM blue circles forever. The only way to get it to work is by going to fastbootusb and flashing the kernel. I tried to do a TERP backup and then restore it but same problem. I did keep the recovery log that had some errors and failures in it. The one at the end says in part,

E:Unknown backup method for mount

--Error occured, check recovery.log. Aborting

Can anyone help with this?
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] Captain_Throwback:
The answer is easy: S-OFF.
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] om4:
Be sure you are typing the command right, otherwise you are instructing the phone to boot once on that kernel and not actually writing it. Fastboot flash boot boot.img
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] treojoew:
What!? Mind blown. I have been doing this,

fastboot boot boot.img

Should it be,

fastboot boot flash boot.img ?

Once I get this part right will I then need to flash the ROM again?
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] om4:
No, the rest of the rom has been flashed already
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] treojoew:
Thanks!

New cm has updated binary and needs latest tp driver, older cm requires tp driver before latest update
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] Captain_Throwback:
This isn't correct. Any touch panel driver will work on any CM ROM built with the new kernel. The latest isn't required.
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] jjrichtx:

Do you know which CM specifically? I tested with stable build 2012-11-13 14:56:37 but no love. Then I flashed ViperROM and again touch screen does not work.
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] Captain_Throwback:
Wow, you do know that's last year, right? Download a current CM nightly from get.cm.
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] jjrichtx:
Thanks Captain.

The newer CM worked. I have my on screen touch controls back but, there is a lot missing from this build. cm-10.1-20130813-NIGHTLY-jewel.zip

I am really impressed with everything else I am seeing though. Besides this build, is there any others you would recommend? Something where the phone is usable?
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] Captain_Throwback:
What do you mean, missing from the build? CM hasn't really changed, so I'm curious to know what you're referring to.
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] casiouser:

so ive got an issue with a persistant splash screen loop. i'm s off via dirty racun. hboot 1.19 radio 1.13.11. I know a few fastboot commands and i'm not afraid to use it. my question is what are the steps I need to take to attempt to push stock recovery, push ruu via fastboot. my phone will not get past splash screen. and it also will not pre load internal or ext sd cards when entering bootloader (you know when it looks for the pjmxxxx.zip)... yeah it doesn't even attempt to look for any zips. right now I guess it's soft bricked. i'd read through all of the forums but raising a 4 year old autistic child and trying to work on my phone at the same time is like next to impossible. I simply don't have the time. any help would be greatly appreciated! thanx in advance!

Stuck on splash screen

Just bought this refurbished phone and flashed it to pageplus. Got every thing working on the phone with the stock rom.

s-on

hboot-1.15.000

twrp recovery installed

Now when i flashed a CM 11/10.2 roms from the below link with the provided gapps i got stuck on the splash screen on reboot.

http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=2151105

In the process i erased my stock rom back up too.

i read solutions offered in the first post here which reasons not wiping dalvik, data, cache as one of the possible reasons for this, but i did wipe these before flashing the rom. I tried the CM 11 and 10.2 roms and their gapps from the above link

Now i am able to get to twrp screens but not sure what to do to get past the splash screen. Any guidance is much appreciated.

read thru and still stuck in cyanogen splash - no access internal memory

Hello,

This was an awesome post, so I wanted to make sure that you realized I did read and posted prior to writing this. I think the key issue is unable to mount internal storage or /sdcard. thank you for any help!

Issue – phone stuck in cyanogen mod splash screen after ROM flash attempt

Possible significant symptom – message in TWRP 2.7.0.0 when attempting to factory reset (yes I’m that desperate),

unable to mount ‘/sdcard’ and unable to mount internal storage

– although it does say factory reset complete - successful

Attempts to fix

•	Install all RUU – all failed

•	Attempt to flash – other mods – failed

•	Attempts to flash from command prompt – no effect

•	Attempts to install other recovery by transferring from sd – failed

•	Rename flash as posted to "trick auto install"

•	Multiple others over last 4 days, I should have kept a log - sorry

Any help is appreciated
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] Magnum_Enforcer:
Take a look at the link posted below. Specifically, the paragraph below step #5. Also, choose the advanced wipe option in TWRP and wipe sdcard storage. Hopefully this helps you out.

http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=2443108

Also make sure that you're not trying to install a build of CM11 that's based off of the new partition setup, as it won't work with the old setup, which you currently have.

I appreciate the reply. Unfortunately when I attempt to wipe, I do not get a message that it wants to format my internal storage. I only receive the message unable to mount '/sdcard' and nable to mount internal storage and the erase shows as successful.

Again I do appreciate the reply and any other suggestions are welcome.

[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] Captain_Throwback:
Can you provide links to all the specific versions of TWRP and CM you were attempting to flash?

If you relock your bootloader, you should have no issue flashing via RUU. Did you relock before you tried that?

Booootloop bootloop, Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE o_0

hboot 2.09, unlocked boot loader, TWRP 2.8.1.1, S-on, cid: SPCS_001, software vers: 3.17.651.5

I can mount the USB, but

E: Unable to mount '/sdcard' E: unable to mount storage. that's the 'fail' excuse I get from TWRP. All I have is fastboot, sd card and TWRP (found the newest TWRP 2.8.1.1 under a rock) and bootloader. I can't use adb, but the drivers are used for fastboot or RUU. Really wish I could flash on of these 2.10 hboot files I have, hboot_firewater_jewel_4.13.651.3.zip,PJ75IMG_2.10.0000_HBOOT_Dev_Text_Removed_CPTB.zip, or jewel-firmware-4.13.651.4-twrp-2.7.1.2.zip.. Was running EOS but needed to update Profile, PRL and some useable APNs, I'm on ting. (forgot about pressing build numbers 10 times. ) Tried RUU stock vers 3.17.651.9. from HTC and an older one after I relocked the loader, stopped and older vers said it was older than main vers and stopped, new one just stopped after 10 min and said redo fastboot, but it never worked. Can't get any newer sense 5.x (InsertCoin) to work, or CM or Beanstalk, also tried stock_EVO4GLTE_recovery.img. Only succesful flash I've had is twrp-2.8.1.1-jewel.img. ROMs load and flash but just boot loop or freeze and I never get past the 'quietly brilliant' window with red 'Legal Action' lettering. +_* Captain_Throwback warned me not to use CWM, I'll bet that had something to do with it, it was running w CWM and EOS, just no data, LTE or APN settings worth a crap. (wouldn't take the ting apn_conf.xml zip flash and I couldn't find ones to manually key in) FML

boot loop cant mount sd

Ive read so many things and tried RUU's and WinDroid toolkit. But i cant fix my bootloop. I have a nandroid backup on my SD card, also have the rom on there too. I can access my card from TWRP and can see the contents. I dont know if im missing something somewhere. I cant flash anything because the log shows that it cant mount my SD card during the flashing process. WinDroid cant connect to my phone, neither can the RUU. Any assistance?
