[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] tonyevo52:
I wish i was S-Off, i was rooted under 3.15 and everything was good, like a dumbass i updated my prl a couple weeks ago and totally forgot it would cause me to lose root, so i just never rerooted due to time, so when i saw the new 3.16 was out i figured i would relock, update, unlock and install twrp, worked good up to the twrp part where it would not respond to touch, and i tried to go back to the 3.15 ruu but wont let me. At least the phone still works, but a regular phone at this point and i just started rooting at the beginning of January so im still learing alot, actually don't mind screwing it up and learning from my mistakes, but my saving grace was always that i would go back to 3.15 if needed, not anymore, so now i will wait until someone figures it out, in the meantime though, learning alot more by reading on here. The only problem i seem to find is i understand most of the language here, but sometimes i see people trying to help people with step by step instructions and they miss a step or they explain it way technical and it puts people into panic mode, my eyes have glazed over a couple wonder what people are saying to do...but totally worth it and appreciate the help definitely.
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] NaterTots:
Tony, updating your prl shouldn't take away your root.

Taking the ota could.
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] tonyevo52:
I didn't even think about it taking away the root, but i lost root the same day i updated the prl a couple weeks ago. Never accepted any ota's while the phone was rooted, i just want root back...still learning though, fun messing with it!
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] Captain_Throwback:
Good news!

TWRP has been updated to version 2.4.1.0 that fixes the touchscreen issue in recovery. Please thank Dees_Troy for the fix at your earliest convenience :).
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] sdax2:

Link on the TWRP website is broken for the FastBoot version of 2.4.1.0 it takes you to an HTC page. The links goes to: htcDOTcom/www/help/htc-evo-3d/#download

Sorry, can't post URLs yet so I edited the link for viewing...

Anyone have a working link, or a way to advise the correct person of the misdirected link?

Thanks!!!!
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] Captain_Throwback:
I don't know where you're looking, but this link is right there on the page:

http://techerrata.com/browse/twrp2/jewel

You seem to be looking at an EVO 3D version? :confused:
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] sdax2:
Victim of browsing because I've downloaded so many times before...

But in the "Download - Fastboot Method:" section there is a link that points to the drivers needed from HTC. Without reading carefully I just clicked on the link labeled HERE.

It does however point to an incorrect page for the HTC drivers. Sorry for the confusion, and thanks for the clarification Captain...
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] tonyevo52:
OK, so here is a qeustion, pretty new to the whole root thing as stated before, totally cool and i like messing with the phones, had problems flashing roms but i found some links in here that might help that. So with twrp 2.4.1 allowing you to use it again, if all fails and i need to go back to scratch, relock the phone and run the 3.16 ruu, is that available for download anywhere, havent seen it and i know i cant go back to 3.15ruu. I think my problem with flashing roms was not flashing the kernel first with flash gui and then flashing the img in fastboot, but i tried that step for step and it still failed when i tried to install jellybam...maybe it was the rom itself, but anyways, 3.16 ruu out there anywhere? And thanks Dees, i think i talked to you in IRC yesterday, good to go fixing twrp already...
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] mr_krunchi:
I was just about to ask if anyone has the 3.16 ruu. I went through twrp 2.4.1 and it worked, but you can't flash anything. Me being stupid, I thought everything would be fine to flash a ROM and didn't Nandroid back up. I wiped my ROM...so now I have a brick till someone uploads the 3.16 ruu.

[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] Captain_Throwback:
There is no 3.16 RUU yet. But are you saying you can't flash anything with the recovery? Because I'm using it just fine . . . :confused:
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] tonyevo52:
Captain...

Thanks Captain Throwback...I was wondering if the 3.16ruu was out as well, like i said, just started rooting and my fallback was running the 3.15ruu if i really screwed it up, will have to unlock and re-root when i get home now that twrp 2.4.1 is out...again, thanks for the advice.
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] eg1122:
What I think he means is that he did the full ota, and then went to flash a rom. Problem is, the custom roms have not been updated and they will not work with the new tp.img. At least this is what happened to me when i tried to go back to a custom rom based on 3.15 and once booted up the screen was unresponsive. I flashed the tp.img from 3.15 ruu and everything was fine.

With that ^^ said here is this

For anyone that is still stuck with an unresponsive screen here is the tp.img from the 3.15 ruu. Must be s-off. Rename to PJ75IMG and flash through bootloader.

http://d-h.st/t9V
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] mr_krunchi:
Yea you got it right on the dot. Only problem is that I'm S-ON since I hadn't gone into S-OFF. I know its definitely error in my part. I just need the 3.16 RUU or a nandroid backup of the stock rom on 3.16, which I don't have either of. :(
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] Captain_Throwback:
You can still flash an older base ROM. That's why I'm confused as to what the issue is :confused:.
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] mr_krunchi:
hmm...I tried MeanBean but it just restarts the phone. I guess I should try another.
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] Captain_Throwback:
You are flashing the boot.img through fastboot, right?
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] mr_krunchi:
I just PMed you.
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] scottspa74:
R rather than taking it to PM, can you please post info here? It may help others.

From what I gather, TWRP now works with the new tp file, but you're saying a ROM now won't flash and boot?

"HTC,...we're done, I'm disgusted. "

From my Evo LTE, yup.
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] scrambler7:
I'm in the same situation. I was coming from a brand new phone that had received the OTA, so I unlocked it and got TWRP 2.4.1.0 on it and then went to install meanbean, but then it just left me at the HTC quietly brilliant boot screen. After letting it just sit there and not doing anything, I rebooted back to bootloader > recovery, and it looks like the OS was never installed. I tried wiping cache/dalvik/factory reset/system and then reinstalling several times, but still get stuck on the htc boot screen.

I then tried to fasboot the img, and now all I get is the htc boot screen with the message that "this build is for development purposes only." Still no installation.

Edit: when I fastboot the boot.img, it only takes 2 - 2.5 seconds. I am s-on.
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] NaterTots:
I am s-off. I updated twrp with goo.

Then tried to flash 2 new roms.

Both of them during flash booted out to the htc screen and sat there. So i pulled my SD card and put twrp 2.3.1 on it and updated in boot loader. That one worked.

But i haven't tried updating twrp with fast boot yet to see if i had a bad download.
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] Captain_Throwback:
Ok, for anyone that's S-ON, UNLOCKED and updated their firmware via the OTA that's wants to run a non-stock ROM:

You can't do it. The new touch panel driver is linked to the new kernel, so you are prevented from using the touch screen. You must either:

- Flash a stock rooted copy of the 3.16 ROM using TWRP 2.4.1.0+ or

- Fastboot flash the boot.img from the 3.16 OTA on your 3.15-based Sense ROM.

If you're S-OFF, you can simply flash the touch panel image from 3.15 to get back to normal, but for the S-ON folks, the options are limited.
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] scrambler7:
I tried flashing both the ODEXed and DEODEXed versions of stock root on 2.4.1.0, but no dice. I tried fasbooting the boot.img and it didn't work either. Maybe I'm doing the fasbooting incorrectly? All I do is remove the boot.img from the zip file and then type in 'fastboot flash boot boot.img' and get the following:

sending 'boot' (6076 KB)...

OKAY [ 0.914s]

writing 'boot'...

OKAY [ 1.454s]

finished. total time: 2.369s

After that, nothing happens on the phone. I tried reflashing after fastbooting the img, but it still sends me to the HTC boot screen.

Do you recommend trying the DirtyRacun process for s-off?

Edit: Actually, I probably can't do DirtyRacun since we don't have the RUU for 3.16
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] Captain_Throwback:
Where did you get the boot.img from? Did you use the signed image directly from the OTA?
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] mr_krunchi:
Yea, I figured that out the hard way. Well, I tried flashing the stock rooted copy of 3.16 using TWRP 2.4.1.0, but that failed for both deodexed and odexed. They are recommending us use TWRP 2.3.1.0, but obviously we can't since the touch screen won't work if we flash to that recovery.

Fastboot flash of the boot.img from 3.16 isn't working either, which really sucks. I've tried multiple ones and couldn't get any of them to boot properly. The only one that came up was JellyBam, but that was using their boot.img, and when it loaded up, the touch screen didn't work. I tried reflashing it through TWRP, then flashing the 3.16 boot.img, but it never could fully boot up.

So now, it seems our options for those in the same situation (Updated to 3.16 OTA, S-ON, Stuck with TWRP 2.4.1.0, ROM Wiped):

-Wait for RUU to be uploaded (hopefully soon)

-Wait for a 3.16 compatible ROM that is compatible with TWRP 2.4.1.0 (hopefully sooner)
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] scrambler7:
I just used the one from the stock rooted odex rom. Not sure where to get the boot.img for the OTA?

---------- Post added at 12:05 PM ---------- Previous post was at 12:03 PM ----------

Yeah, this sucks. Had to go back to using an old phone. Maybe we can start a support group for each other, recommending chick flicks and ice cream flavors.
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] Captain_Throwback:
I'll pull the boot.img from the OTA. That *should* get the touch screen working properly. If it doesn't, I'll S-ON my device, unlock again, take the OTA, and see what I can come up with as a solution.

EDIT: boot.img attached (it's in the zip). If you're unlocked, you should be able to either fastboot the img in the zip file, or rename the entire zip to just PJ75IMG.zip and flash through HBOOT.

EDIT 2: Also, if you need a different 3.16 ROM to flash, that'll work with TWRP 2.4.1.0, you can try mine from here: http://d-h.st/users/Captain_Throwback/?fld_id=10308#files

EDIT 3: Ok, well I can confirm that with TWRP 2.4.1.0, after flashing the new touch panel image, I'm unable to flash either of my ROMs either. Now to try a ROM based on the 3.15 (Viper4G), and see if I can use that along with the signed boot.img :rolleyes:.

EDIT 4: The AROMA installer does show up in a weird color in this latest TWRP, but the ROM does appear to have flashed successfully (I assume restoring a nandroid would work too). Touch screen unresponsive on initial boot, but after fastbooting the boot.img from my stock rooted ROM, I can navigate (the one from this post should work also).
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] mr_krunchi:
Well I tried to install the 3.16 you posted, but neither of them worked for me. It failed for both. I'm looking for the Viper4G ROM you're talking about, but only came across one that was really old. Mind posting the link please? I'd really like to use my new phone lol.

I've been trying to install the viper rom for 15 minutes now and it's stuck at 4%, executing full wipe, formatting/system partition.
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] tonyevo52:
Captain

Captain, so for the 3.16 Stock ROM you posted, I am assuming it will take the phone back to 3.16 stock, but does it matter if you are s-on or off, i am rooted using the 2.4.1 and SU 1.04, from reading everything, the way i understand there is no way to flash ROMS right now, so to me, if i screw something up, your 3.16 should be my saving grace from bricking the phone?
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] Captain_Throwback:
It does that on full wipe sometimes. Do a battery pull/reboot back into recovery and wipe manually. Then choose the no wipe option in AROMA.

You won't be able to flash my ROM with TWRP 2.4.1.0.
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] mr_krunchi:
So Viper4G didn't work out. I flashed the ROM using TWRP 2.4.1. It did install all the way and finished, but I'm stuck on the boot animation and just continues to stay on that screen. I was never able to get it to boot up completely. I then flashed the boot.img from your ROM, and that didn't change anything. So I'm still stuck with a brick :(

EDIT: So I looked at the previous post about the full wipe thing and decided to try it out again, without the AROMA wiping everything. I got it to boot up completely! I just flashed the boot.img from your Stock 3.16 ROM, booted it up, and now it works (so far)! :] Happy camper right here. Thanks so much!
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] scrambler7:
Ended up doing that and got the same results as krunchi below

Yeah, this sucks. Had it stick on the animated viper. Even after it looks like it installs, if you boot back into recovery, twrp doesn't show an os installed.

Tried installing CM10 stable and it stuck on the animated boot as well.

It looks like trying a rom with aroma installer gets you the farthest, but still won't boot. frustrating.
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] Captain_Throwback:
Look at the edit above your post ;).
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] scrambler7:
Haha, yeah, I just came back to say the same. I used that superwipe thing and Viper ROM worked. Nothing else did, though. Thanks again for all your help, Captain.
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] michaeldm:
So are we able to use the official 3.16.651 OTA and used the new tp.img that comes with it when using 2.4.1.

I just got my evo lte yesterday at sprint :D and the person that was activating my phone updated my phone to 3.16 I'm dying to root it and install recovery on it and flash CM10, but all i been reading that the update 3.16 messes everything up, so does that mean i can't flash nor root my evo using S-ON with recovery version 2.4.1?
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] Captain_Throwback:
You can still do all those things. There are just additional steps that need to be taken. If you read through the thread, I explained what needs to be done.

For starters, you'll have to unlock with HTCDev. Then you'll have to install TWRP 2.4.1.0. Then, you'll only be able to install JellyBean Sense ROMs based on the 3.15.651.13 base, like Viper4G, which you'll have to follow up by flashing the boot.img from the 3.16.651.3 ROM update through fastboot or via HBOOT.

I'm not going to explain how to do all that; the information is all here. But that's how we got quite a few others going.
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] BigMosley:

So, I've done everything. I've installed TWRP 2.4 1. 0 and I've installed the newest Viper4g ROM and in aroma it basically stops at 90% and restarts and it doesnt look like anything gets accomplished. In fact with every ROM--MEanbean, odex, deodex, viper4g-- the installation just freezes and starts over, except for SuperLTE. What can I do about this.
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] Captain_Throwback:
Tomorrow I'll update my stock rooted 3.16 ROMs so that TWRP will flash them successfully. Then you can flash one of those.

EDIT: When you flashed Viper, did you make sure you chose the option to NOT wipe?
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] viennk07:
yes i chose the option not to wipe. Also i just found the Viper Kernel flasher that's supposed to help with bootloops but that really didn't help me much either. now the rom isn't even loading.

and cool i'll look forward to it
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] Captain_Throwback:

[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] dizlow19353:
So were stuck until the ROMs are updated to the firmware? Is there any way back?
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] Captain_Throwback:
Stuck how? You can flash any JB Sense ROM as long as you flash the 3.16 boot.img afterwards.

Just get S-OFF, then you can downgrade the touch panel and run AOSP ROMs too.
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] mulhiny:
^^ this..why folks don't S-off is so far beyond me. It ends like 99% of "issues".
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] JManekia:
How does one downgrade from 3.16 RUU during S-OFF? Step 7 of the Dirtyracun asks to include RUU OF the current Hboot, which I don't think is out yet. Can we just include 3.15 RUU?

Morning all, I've run into a problem. I'm on TWRP 2.4, MeanBean 3.0.3 which is the 3.16 base, S-off, lastest TP firmware. When I try to make a Nand backup, it performs the back up in about 3 seconds which I know is not normal and the "backup" does not show on the TWRP folder. It also doesn't allow me to create a back up file name. When I attempt, It says a backup already exists. I only have one nand back up when I was on TWRP 2.2.0 (I think).

Can anyone advise?

And if I restore a previous nand using an older TWRP version, will I encounter any issues?
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] Sloth:
twrp 2.4.1.0 or 2.4.0.0 ?

I'm using 2.4.1.0 with all my firmware updated and have zero problems with making backups
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] njspank:
2.4.1.0
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] Captain_Throwback:
You tried reflashing recovery?
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] njspank:
Sir, yes sir. I tried three times through goo manager and the same thing happens.

I'm in the process of downloading the latest recovery (2.4.1.0) from the TeamWin website as to flash through boot loader, but for some reason the file says PJ75IMG-TWRP-2.3.1.0-jewel.zip which strikes me as odd.
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] Captain_Throwback:
Right, I would try either through fastboot via img flash, or through the bootloader. The PJ75IMG.zip is just an old version. You can still download it and replace the recovery.img inside the zip with the latest .img.
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] njspank:
Welp, I tried through bootloader and I also tried reverting to an older TWRP version w/o success (the touch affect didn't work). It still seems as though the nandroid backup process only takes a few seconds. And it still says "A backup already exists" when I try to assign a name prior to trying to backup my Rom.

Edit 4:58pm

Ok chief, I'm good. I ended up deleting both internal and external storage "twrp" folders. It appears there were remnants of twrp version 2.2.2 left over. Although I previously deleted all the files in both folders, when I deleted the actual twrp folders, it sd there was 1kb of info I was deleting. But all works now! Thanks!
