[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] joeyfettucine:
Install instruction using an excerpt from mikeyxda meanbean, because it is so beautifully written....

s-off installation

Always make a Nandroid backup before installing anything on your phone!

On first install of, do a full wipe (at least a factory reset)

Subsequent updates: no wiping necessary BUT...

If you have any trouble at all, do a full wipe and then reinstall

Install using TWRP recovery (again, s-off recommended)

After the first boot on a fresh install, go to "Menu", "Settings", "Power" and UNcheck "Fast Boot". When you reboot or power off the phone, you really want it to reboot/power-off. This can save you a lot of headaches.

s-on installation

Note that with s-on, TWO things must be flashed separately: the ROM ZIP and the kernel inside that ZIP. The built in kernel installer (thanks Haus) will take care of this without any extra work on your part: just flash with TWRP! Follow the instructions below, however, so you'll know what to expect because there are some pauses and an extra reboot involved whenever the kernel in the ROM is updated.

Boot to TWRP recovery (hold vol down and press power for 1 second while you continue holding vol down until you see the bootloader, then choose "recovery")

Always make a Nandroid backup before installing anything on your phone!

On first install, do a full wipe (at least a factory reset)

Subsequent updates: no wiping necessary BUT...

If you have any trouble at all, do a full wipe and then reinstall

In TWRP recovery, choose "Install" and locate the ROM ZIP you downloaded and begin the install.

The installation will usually complete relatively quickly but if a new boot.img is included in the ROM, it may take 5 minutes or longer to flash: please be patient!

When the installation is complete, if you see the word "Look!" in large text, a new boot.img was flashed and you are not done yet! In that case, continue to the next step. If you do NOT see the word "Look!", you can reboot and you are done flashing.

When the word "Look!" appears, simply "reboot system" normally from recovery. Your phone will begin to boot but will reboot during the boot animation and then boot back to recovery. At that point, simply flash the ROM a second time from recovery to complete the install. This process is required for the s-on installer to do its job. Once you install the ROM a second time and reboot, your phone will boot normally.

After the first boot on a fresh install, go to "Menu", "Settings", "Power" and UNcheck "Fast Boot". When you reboot or power off the phone, you really want it to reboot/power-off. This can save you a lot of headaches.

s-on additional notes

If you have a new phone and are starting from scratch, use these instructions to unlock your phone and install TWRP recovery. These instructions work for all current software including the latest 3.16. Follow all steps up through and including step 28, except in step 25, use the latest openrecovery*.img file from here instead of the old 2.1.8 version listed on the page. Once you successfully complete step 28, you can boot to recovery and install MeanBean.

If you've already unlocked via the HTC method above and you already have TWRP recovery installed, use the above instructions but if you have any trouble, here are instructions on how to manually install the ROM and kernel separately.

Have trouble after trying to flash s-on: reread the s-on instructions above and be sure to follow each step. If you have done that and still have trouble, try this info.

Updating your firmware to the 3.16 RUU is another story altogether so I'll leave the firmware/radio updates to other threads.

If your touch panel does not work, you have likely updated the Touch Panel firmware. To downgrade, download 3.15 Touch Panel Firmware and flash in bootloader. Be sure to the thank Captain_Throwback.

Furthermore,

If you dirty flash, expect issues. If you restore apps, be sure you are only restoring data apps you actually use and not apps from other ROMs. We removed several bloat apps due to their effects on battery and performance.

Preview for the boot animation sound might be slightly off to how its going to sound I might run it through a nifty software in linux that will make it sounds crazy
