you need to flash a sense rom to update PRL. you can make a nandroid of this rom, flash sense, update PRL, and then restore your nandroid and you'll be good to go.

Thanks. This is my first aosp ROM and I love it so far. So many additional features it's awesome. Any other aosp I should check out or am I dabbling in the best?

Please update so I can satisfy my flashing needs
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] suicidal acorn:
Actually it won't wipe external. Just every partition on the internal. I still suggest you back up your external just in case anything crazy happens, but it isn't supposed to wipe it.
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] sindawe:
yeah, the only thing on my internal storage are the pix from certain apps, like FB/4sqr. Other than that, all my music and videos and main photo folders are on the external sdcard. I think in Capt's instructions, he said to remove microsd at one point and then after the reboot and you're back in bootloader, put the card back in...need to check his info to make sure, but that'll really help to make sure that ext doesn't get blasted by accident.
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] adamlee011:
there was a risk with dirty racoon so i guess it's possible. I never listen and left it in doing DR and it didn't wipe it but since people def lost data on ext in that process.
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] sindawe:
[MENTION=735742]adamlee011[/MENTION] wait, do you mean when you first did soff or when you went to 2.10?

I'm on 2.09 racun now. Anything special you did to get to 2.10 or just exactly as capt said to do?
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] adamlee011:
Oh you know i don't remember. I'm talking about when doing soff. I didn't actually do 2.10. I think u just went to 1.9 and much later did individual fw updates. On the DR Web site there were instructions to have at least a 2g card in when performing the procedure but to back up data because it could be wiped. I don't remember me than that. That's a specific process so it probably has no relation.
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] sindawe:
took the plunge and got everything updated, formatted, etc. went with the stock odex version just so i can quickly get up and running, updated prl to 25018. jumped back to twrp and flashed carbon.

in twrp, just before installing carbon, i did a factory reset, cleared data, cleared system, then installed. rebooted and phone stuck on the carbon loading logo for about 30 minutes. rebooted back to recovery, wiped everything again, reinstalled carbon and booted with no issues. Going through and restoring data/apps. so far, so good.
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] ultimatelegend1:
Yo tsup people first of all awesome ROM Jamie :thumbup: , second can anyone of you guys use titanium I can't seem to restore any of my apps I keep getting "parse error" I'm on the new partition thanks in advance :)
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] suicidal acorn:
Before I flash a new rom I always make a zip in TB that I flash in recovery to install just the apps. Then I restore the data with TB after the rom is installed. It makes the whole process take a fraction of the time and I have not had any issues with it. But I have found that I have to boot the rom before I can flash that zip. If I flash the zip right after I flash the rom it doesn't do anything at all.

Just a tip to anyone who might be having issues with TB on the rom. You could try this and see if it works.
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] SilverZero:
I believe this is also the case with the option TB has to make a flashable TB install (so you can flash the app itself back after a ROM update or system reset). In all cases, you have to boot into the ROM first, then reboot to recovery. I'm almost certain that's true, I don't think I've seen TB in the app drawer on first boot after trying to flash it during the ROM install in recovery. It's a great feature of TB, though, saves the time of re-installing it every time from scratch.

I have an apps backup zip as well, but I never tried to restore it because I first made it on a pre-4.3 ROM so I wasn't sure it would carry over well. I'll have to do some testing.
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] ultimatelegend1:
Cool but how do u do that ?
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] suicidal acorn:
In the batch operations there is an option to make an "update.zip" I think and you can choose which apps to put in it and if you want app data in it. I recommend not doing the data part because you can hold onto the zip and reuse it and once you have the apps installed you can just restore the data with TB and it goes really really fast compared to installing every app too.
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] ultimatelegend1:
Yep found it thanks
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] adamlee011:
Ok so i never knew this. That's friggin awesome. So glad i saw that.
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] sindawe:
I always do a full backup of apps and data in TB before flashing a new rom. What I usually do is Recovery, wipe, install rom, boot up and set wifi, reboot to recovery, install gapps, clear caches, reboot, set up gmail/play, install TB, allow TB to restore ID, reboot, then batch reinstall apps+data from TB. Never had a problem with it before.
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] suicidal acorn:
The reason I started using the zip to install my apps is because on 4.4 roms TB took FOREVER to install apps. Does nobody else have that issue?
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] adamlee011:
It does take a while. I imagine a zip flash would be way faster. Sindawe, do you know that you can flash gapps immediately after the rom? Then it will take you through automated setup on first boot.
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] suicidal acorn:
It's much faster. Usually takes less than a minute to install about 125 apps. The zip file is 550mb. Lol :D
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] sindawe:
Yeah, I know you can, TWRP does up to 10 zips in a row, right? However, everytime I try that, I have problems with authentication from google. I have that extra security turned on at google, so it sends me a txt message whenever I apply my gmail account to anything. If I flash gapps while flashing the rom, sometimes the "setup" on first boot won't let me access the sms message and get the security code to verify during the google account setup. That's why I always boot up first on new rom, do wifi, then reboot and flash gapps separately. just to make sure that I can actually access the sms auth code.
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] gscarborough:
Totally off topic I know but I'm looking to upgrade a phone this weekend any opinions on either the HTC one or nexus 5?
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] jamieg71:
Off topic is fine by me man, IMO I'd go with the N5. Nothing against the one but the development on the N5 is what flashaholic's dreams are made of.
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] gscarborough:
Awesome I was leaning that way but I've had an HTC since the 8525 but I will try the N5 this time thanks Jamie
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] suicidal acorn:
Personally I'm waiting for the m8, because I like HTC and I want tri band LTE which the One doesn't have. I was going to get the N5, but I've heard the battery is not impressive.
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] goliath714:
I can't seem to get this rom to boot. I'm using the latest firmware and recovery and hboot and everything, I wipe everything, install rom, and reboot system, and it just hangs at the boot animation with the charging light but just doesn't boot all the way. I've tried this several times, both with flashing gapps and without, still nothing. What am I doing wrong? This is the first aosp rom I've tried booting since switching to the new firmware.
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] numel007:
How did you update? Did you use the RUU?
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] goliath714:
No, I used Captain's PJ75IMG.zip to update the firmware and then flashed his recovery, flashed the deodexed rom, and let it boot all the way and ran it for a while until I switched to Sin's Sense 5.5 rom.
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] adamlee011:
I'm all for support and development being available for my device, but i have not heard anyone rave about their n5. In fact, I've heard a few people say they weren't as impressed as they thought they would be. On the other hand, the one is extremely impressive. I love the hell out of mine and there is a ton of support for it. Even gimmicks like the speakers and blinkfeed are things that i actually use that set it apart. So like... Not gimmicks :) if i were in your shoes, i would just wait and get the m8. I wish they were making an m8 max because I'm about to pick up a one max. That should tell you something. I'm in the market for a big phablet type monstrosity and after a little less than a year with the one, I'm willing to buy it again with a bigger screen.
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] gscarborough:
Awesome feedback adam
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] numel007:
Check your hboot version to be sure it's 2.1
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] goliath714:
It is. Check my Sig, it should show all the pertinent information
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] scottspa74:
Check md5? Only other thing I could think of if your ROM is his 4.4 release, hboot 2.10, gapps are correct. And you said you already booted sense with new partitions.

Sorry,not a lot of help, but only thing left to check I can think of.
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] sindawe:
I had the same problem.

After I did Capt's instructions, flashed stock, updated PRL, then wiped and tried to install carbon. once it rebooted after the carbon rom flash, it just hung on the carbon logo for 30 mins. I thought maybe it was a slow boot up or something, but after 30 I was like....Efffff, the hell did I do wrong?

Power+VolDown, reboot to recovery

I ended up doing a factory reset, wiped data, manually wiped System (and I also wiped internal b/c I wanted a really clean phone)

Re-Installed Carbon and it booted up without any problems.

I guess TL:DR version: factory reset and manually wipe system a time or two and give it a try.
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] goliath714:
Yeah everything matches and I'm using the 2/27 pa gapps, but it doesn't boot even when I don't flash gapps. I've tried manually wiping everything including sdcard and still no luck. I just ruu'd again so we'll see how it goes starting from scratch.
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] rootlinux:

[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] adamlee011:

[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] numel007:
If you haven't, I highly recommend taking the 4.3 update.
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] jamieg71:
I hear they make a great paperweight! Lol That sucks man.

Not much of anything going on with me, been a rough winter work wise. Apparently Comcast believes you need to keep your bill paid up or they shut your internet off. So I'm working when I can where I can. Expect a bunch of stuff from me about two weeks after the weather breaks. I've been enjoying the work of Captain Sin and Chubbz of late. Good stuff.
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] goliath714:
So I'm still not able to boot this. I'll go through a step by step process on what I've done. I reflashed the new firmware and hboot and updated profile and prl and everything, basically completely stock with the unlocked bootloader(still s-off), flashed Captain's updated recovery, and wiped everything including sdcard, internal, just to make sure I have everything completely clean. I did a fresh download of the rom, and it installs just fine in recovery, and even gets to a point where it almost boots(the boot animation fades as if it's about to finish, and the charging light even comes on if I plug it in. It sits there for as long as I leave it and never completely finishes booting. I have tried flashing just the rom and flashing rom with gapps and still does the same thing. I guess my phone just hates me...
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] NaterTots:
It sounds like you're trying to flash the version for the old partition layout. You need to use the newest version that will work with the latest firmware.

Maybe show a link of what you've been trying to use?
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] Sinistertensai:
're wipe make sure you include system. Reflash the Rom try to boot see what happened if it doesn't boot but same issue 're flash. And you better have checked the md5!!
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] ultimatelegend1:
Wait doesn't the Rom script do that automatically for you ?
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] Magnum_Enforcer:
Depends on how the updater script is written;)

Sent from my EVO LTE
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] scottspa74:
No one should ever count on updater script to wipe for them. That is information that no one should have,...unless they can read it.
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] goliath714:
Here is the link I used to download this rom, and I know it's right because I'm one of the few that reads the OP. I've been here for a while and am not new to flashing roms and updating firmware, been doing it since the HeroCDMA days. I did finally get it to boot, but the manner in which I did so seems odd. I wiped data, cache, system, and sdcard, but did not wipe internal storage(data/media) in recovery, and it booted up first time without any errors. I was able to replicate the problem I had earlier by wiping internal storage along with everything else, so it seems to me like there must be something in the partitions that doesn't stick when wiping after coming from the Sense 5/4.3 update(tried both the RUU and flashing the one from Captain's post). Is there an additional step I missed in order to keep the new partition layout after wiping internal storage or am I just not supposed to wipe internal storage as it seems to lose the partition layout?

Edit: I did notice after running the 4.13.651.3 RUU and even the PJ75IMG that my hboot status did not change and still showed unlocked. I doubt that it's significant, but you never know.
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] NaterTots:
Reading this you sound a little confused. If you've updated correctly then you should have the 2.1 hboot. You need to use the recovery in Captains thread that works with the partitions. If your hboot didn't change then I'd try flashing the firmware again.
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] goliath714:
Not confused at all. Maybe not relaying the info correctly, but my hboot, as you can see in my signature, is 2.10. I've been using the recovery from Captain's thread(TWRP 2.6.3.1b) and have been running Sin's Sense 5.5 rom, which is also linked in my signature. I know what I'm doing. The status of the hboot is the magenta text above the green saying whether you're unlocked or locked, which changes after you unlock via htcdev. It may also say 'tampered'. Mine says unlocked because I originally unlocked it using htcdev, then gained s-off while still on 3.16 using moonshine. I have not lost s-off, because that part is not affected by RUU'ing or updating firmware. However, in the past when I've RUU'ed back to stock using the 3.17 RUU, the status above my hboot showed 'locked', and I had to unlock again using the fastboot commands and the identifier token from htcdev. Hope this clears up what I meant.
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] NaterTots:
Then I don't know what to tell you. It sounds like you're the only one in this particular boat.
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] goliath714:
I've come to the same conclusion lol I'm going to try RUU'ing back to 3.17 and starting completely and meticulously from scratch.

Update: When I tried to RUU back to 3.17, it showed my current image version as 3.16, tried again with 4.13, and still showed current image as 3.16. Did this from Carbon made for 2.10 hboot so it seems odd that it would say I'm on 3.16...
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] jamieg71:
You know I've read every post you've had so far regarding this issue. I really don't know what to tell you about it. Something is foul. If you are on hboot 2.10, ran the stock Rom and updated profile & prl, & have the correct recovery, there's no reason I can see that it wouldn't flash for you.

MD5 checks out, proper procedures for upgrading seem correct..... I dunno man. Maybe a proper logcat of the booting process could shed some light on what's occurring. ;)
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] goliath714:
I'll do that. I just went back to 100% stock 3.17 RUU, going to RUU straight to the 4.13, update everything, install fresh recovery, and try again.
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] drumwizard:
It almost sounds like your internal sd might have got corrupted, happened to me prior to updating to 4.13, when I was trying to flash a kk rom (not this one ;-p). A fresh ruu 'should' fix it (did for me back on 3.17), good luck...
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] cluenino:
Data connection

Does this update fix the data connection issue?
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] numel007:
This is a bit late of an answer, but what exactly do you mean by data connection issue? Please be specific.
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] cluenino:
Sometimes when I try to connect to the internet I have to toggle on and off the Sprint 4G button or just completely turn off the phone and turn it back on. After that I then can connect to the internet. I was initally told that this was a common problem with all 4.4 roms.

"Data connection is a problem on all 4.4 roms. You don't have to restart your phone just toggle data on and off."
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] numel007:
Yes what you've been told and are doing is correct. This likely will not be addressed for awhile. For future reference, you can check gerrit of cm and aosp to see if any patches appear.

Hi All,

I am new to the HTC Evo. I installed Carbon Rom and loved it. But I could not get GPS to work. Maps reported loss GPS signal all the time. I tried Captain Throwback GPS fix, but did not do anything.

I've been trying a few AOSP roms lately and am now testing this one out. I have a question about the preferred network type. The only choices are LTE, 3G, 1x, and Global. If I select LTE, does it fall back to 3G automatically if there is no LTE? I ask because that doesn't seem to be happening for me. LTE works good, but when I am in an area with no LTE I don't see the 3G icon. All I see is an icon with R (which I assume is for roaming) on it.
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] jamieg71:
Yes, it should. I'd suggest being updated (PRL, PRI) on the correct firmware before flashing for optimal results.
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] rabid platypus:
Hello! First of all, I must say, this ROM is blazing fast, very snappy, and great on the battery! But, I do have a few questions and concers.

First, a little history. I came from MeanBean v3.9 over to this rom. I did upgrade my HBOOT to 2.10 from 1.19 prior to flashing. I was s-off and unlocked. I flashed the 4.13.651.4 Firmware + TWRP Recovery 2.7.1.0b from HERE. After flashing, I am now s-off but locked.

1.) Do I need to unlock with HTC again?

2.) My mobile data does not work/connect. Any suggestions?

3.) When I pull down the notification bar and hit the icon on the top right to bring up all the settings cubes, it always shows digital roaming on my signal strength. What does that mean?

4.) I don't like the camera at all. When I flash the HQ LTE 20Mbps or Lyapota HTC JB 4.5 Plus Extreme v5.1 cameras, neither of them work.

5.) How do I update the PRL and PRI in this rom?

6.) Baseband version is listed as unknown in the about phone section. Is that a problem?

7.) I just have the stock kernel, is there another kernel you recommend?

Thank you for all your help, and for a great rom!
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] fredgar75:
You should not need to unlock again unless you took an actual update from sprint or HTC. I believe you should not have updated your bootloader. That's probably why your baseband is not showing and why data doesn't work. You cannot update profile and prl on an aosp rom. You would need to flash back to a sense rom.
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] rabid platypus:
In the changelog in the OP, it says you can't flash unless you have hboot 2.10. I was on hboot 1.19. What should I have done instead? Can you downgrade your hboot?
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] fizbanrapper:
Flash a sense ROM for NPL, then update your profile and PRL. Get a GPS lock before shutting down. Reboot into recovery and flash your AOSP ROM of choice. This is a somewhat old build and I can't assure you that you're going to have data with no issues, but I think you're going to have to do this regardless of what AOSP ROM you flash.

---------- Post added at 08:21 AM ---------- Previous post was at 08:18 AM ----------

2.10 is for new partition layout. Any lower number is for old partition layout. You just need to know which the ROM was built for, then flash the right ROM for your hboot. There are a handful of ROMs that have been built lately that work with both though.
