help maybe?

I dont want to clog this thread with help chatter, and I cant post over at this thread: http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=2639180&page=71

curious if anyone is available via skype, or know of another way I can get some help, I think I made a booboo when attempting to flash my phone to the new sense build.

Or if its okay to post here I will.

Thanks in advance.

as a heads up, I am stuck in a loop after flashing the new firmware - I think my mistake was placing the PJ file on the internal SD, any reboot to boot loader goes direct into the update mode, no option to change, a hard reboot just goes to the white HTC splash screen and nothing more. ( I haven't let it sit at this point for a long time, just a few minutes, do I need to give it more time? )
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] Captain_Throwback:
You sure you don't have an SD card in the device? I'd try taking out the card, and then rebooting into recovery. But you're right; this isn't relevant to this thread, and you should've created your own thread in Q&A about it, or posted in a thread about the same topic there (if one exists). The firmware update would wipe your internal storage, so there should be no way that's what's causing your issue. It shouldn't even update from there.
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] Devilstar240:
I am an idiot. you nailed it, pulling my SD card did it. thanks. and sorry for cluttering up the thread.
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] sgt. slaughter:
Battery life on this RUU test release is insane in my opinion!

One thing I am NIT a fan of is it picks up 4G and holds to it too early for me... It'll pick it up when you barely can connect to it and if you were on 3G your speed would be better.
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] scottspa74:
Seriously, HTC has done a great job with this device. Updated it more than some of the others released at same time.
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] bugguy:
I just can't wait to see the official release its like being a kid standing outside a candy store salivating at the site of candy that he hasn't been able to try yet.
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] rodohmes:
Any of you guys running the pre-release straight from HTC able to connect to data while roaming?
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] detcup4evr:
Do you have roaming domestic data enabled, I think by default it is turned off
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] rodohmes:
Yes, I definitely do. That was the first thing I checked. Does it work for you?
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] numel007:
If you see the option, change to roam only.
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] rodohmes:
Yeah, I tried that too. Didn't seem to help at the time, but I'll run through all the options again next time I roam.
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] Sinistertensai:
you could try getting on the beta list from htc, or root your phone and be running not sense 5 4.3 but sense 5.5 4.3, also were working on kitkat all we need is a kernel so if you want to get the most out of your device I'd suggest root.
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] AarSyl:
HTC really stepped up the game with providing us 4.3. I definitely see a speed difference between this and 4.2. Granted, 4.2 wasn't built for this device..

I can tell you this, I can NOT get data while roaming. Something's been changed on the phone.apk hopefully at some point someone will mod this phone.apk to add the roam option. Maybe it will get data then. The roam control app doesn't work on this version. I can force it to roam but after a few minutes it kicks back to auto.
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] ssamboy:
Where is the roam only option? Is that in the mod pack? I still can't get that to flash. I'm s-off, re-unlocked the bootloader, flashed the unsecure boot.img, and pushed the services.jar with signatures disabled. I'm fresh out of ideas, but love the Rom.
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] tommy_riley:
The roam only option he was talking about is from the app "Roam Control" - it's no longer on the google play store, but the developer has a website and charges about 10.00 US dollars for the app. I have it on my EVO 4G LTE for those situations where I would rather have a solid roam connection rather than a flakey sprint connection.
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] ssamboy:
Thanks, I know the app well. I had stopped using it though because I was running meanbean for so long which integrates a roam only option directly into the settings.

What are the odds that now that 4.3 is near the Evo breaks? ?

One of the metal antenna pieces broke off when I removed the back piece to take out my sd card to give the phone back to my sister. Phone won't pick up 4G anymore and 3G comes in and out. 1xrtt works fine and I can get calls and text but cannot browse the web hardly. I already got threatened with my phone being kept if I don't fix :(
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] JayyWilliams:
When I emailed it, I got this "reply" immediately:

" Delivery has failed to these recipients or groups:

Your message can't be delivered because delivery to this address is restricted."

Was it just up for last night? Was it even up last night?

[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] DashEndar:
Still no luck installing the RUU. I'm on my Windows 7 PC. I have the latest HTC Sync. I tried installing with HTC Sync closed, still nothing. Is anyone here willing to help more than with one tip? I've tried about everything... Do I need the HTC MTP Device driver, because when I plug in my phone, that driver seems to fail.
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] bugguy:
Got the same reply last night, tried again this morning and I've been waiting for a reply for about an hour now:(

[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] realchinky:
For those new to this thread, and really don't want to read articles and lists of reddit comments on the HTC USA AMA, here is what they said.

Someone asked about the OTA to the Sprint EVO LTE and here was their reply.

"This is actually a unique circumstance. Given the memory partition size limit, an OTA update won't be possible. However, we are developing a simple process for our more technical customers to update the Evo on their own.

We're actually booting up a trial, so for folks looking to get involved they can sign up here: HTCTrial@htc.com (this email is just getting booted up, so please send a note this evening)"

This means that an OTA will not be possible and people who want it, will get it. I wonder how it will be supplied. Maybe by RUU? Or something different.
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] bugguy:
Dang it the not delivered message just hit me
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] :
I just went to HTC.com and sent them an email through the contact us feature. I explained that I'm trying to receive the update and I keep getting the restricted reply. No response yet but I will update if I hear something.

EVOlved human
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] MFOsaka:
Yes, it'll be via RUU. That's how it's currently available to us now on XDA. Cap'n got an RUU from HTC, decompiled it added root and separated it into firmware and ROM.

No, it won't be over-the-air, but quite a few of us knew that previously. Due to the partition layout, it's nigh possible.

As far as the comment of those who want it will get it, it means that most of the people who wanted Sense 5 with Android 4.3 are tech savvy enough to be able to unlock their bootloader, run the RUU and install it.

If you're not able to, have someone do it for you. If you're not willing to chance it, you're stuck with firmware 3.17 Sense 4 with Android 4.1.2.

(I bet a dollar that someone else will ask about this again by the next page if not this one. lol)
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] :
Just got this in online chat at htc.com support:
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] bugguy:
What little I could read in that screen shot sounds depressing
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] Captain_Throwback:
Nah the reps don't know anything. If they knew anything, we wouldn't already have an RUU from Mo Versi himself. That information just doesn't get passed down to the reps until it's "official."
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] :
Basically, he told me that the update doesn't exist and I am misinformed. LOL!

I'm confused. Why is everyone looking for an emailed RUU, when Captain has it available for d/l in the thread?

Is sense 5 still a memory hog?
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] Captain_Throwback:
What do you mean by "still"?
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] bugguy:
Wish Mo would help me out
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] Sh3llSh0ck:
Not really still. Meant sense in general. I should have said is sense still a resource hog?
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] MFOsaka:
No. In fact, Sense 5 may be the most efficient running version of Sense in the bunch. Make the plunge and check it out.
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] Sh3llSh0ck:
Thanks! On viper right now and like the features and theming. Hoping that will be updated soon. This is really tempting though.

Not trying to be rude or anything but why don't you find Mo's email and ask for it like I had to. Besides, I don't think I can post it as that may be against the rules. Again, I'm not trying to be a d!@k but no one else has shared it.

[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] tommy_riley:
I also contacted Mo directly sense the trial email address is still bouncing back restricted, about an hour later I was sent a download link. Downloading now.

Q for Captain... Is this the same build you are working with? Just curious if we're all getting the same bits:

RUU_JEWEL_CL_JB43_SENSE50_MR_Sprint_WWE_4.13.651.1_Radio_1.13.11.1105_NV_3.02_003_PRL25007_release_351182_signed_one_step
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] Lacedaemon:
Requested for a download as well, kinda starting to regret it.

Sorry for the n00b question, but if I'm S-OFF/rooted, how can I install this safely?
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] :
If you're rooted and S-off, why not just install Captain's Rom?

EVOlved human
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] Lacedaemon:
Don't get me wrong, Captain's done a fantastic job, but I've been waiting for something more... official... ;)
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] baknblack:
It's the same thing as if you ran the ruu.
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] lreyes:
captains is the same thing as the offical RUU Captian just made it easier to download and install for S-off rooted users.
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] Lacedaemon:
Thanks!

I mean no disrespect but I thought his was like the early Sense 5 ROMs with 4.2.2 and issues...
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] lreyes:
Oh no you can trust captain In my honest Opinion all of his roms he makes are stable. Even his 4.1.1 sense 5 roms. If you decide to use the sense 5 android 4.3 Rom by captain make sure you read everything that's in the first post. :)
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] Captain_Throwback:
If you check the software version listed on my thread, you'll see it matches ;)

No. What I posted is the same as any other stock rooted ROM that gets posted here after an OTA. I applied the RUU, pulled the files, and then packaged it into a zip for easy flashing.

I also added a firmware package to reset the partition layout (which also came directly from HTC) and I built a custom version of TWRP that allows it to be flashed. So if there are any bugs, then they're with the base from HTC, not from me.
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] theotrman:
Someone should leak and the RUU!

??????
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] Notorious:
No one wants to receive a cease and desist from HTC. Pretty sure they don't want the RUU openly posted because it is a trial
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] theotrman:
Cease and desist?? Trials??

Leaks were what XDA use to be.

Well, before there was 3million ppl here..
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] Captain_Throwback:
We have the benefits of the "leak" already. Don't be greedy.

If you're going to tell me that people that are unrooted can't use the stock rooted ROM, I know that. But if you're on this site, then you know there are plenty of options to root, unlock, and/or S-OFF. If you're not willing or somehow unable to use those options, then you'll just have to wait like the people that don't know about the wondrous place that is XDA.
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] theotrman:
? Glad you are looking out for all of us. I appreciate that you read, understood and wrote your interpretations of my one sentence.

Now are you interpreting my sarcasm and passive aggressive behavior all wrapped up in these three sentences??

seriously, how long u been herr.
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] Captain_Throwback:
I figured we understood each other ;).

I miss the days of copious leaks too. You know things have changed when we have to get a "leak" from the head of North American Product Development himself :eek:.

I've been here since I was rocking a Treo 700w on Windows Mobile. That's throwback, son.

[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] Mutant x29:
Didn't work for me.

My son sent him (Mo Versi) a message on twitter and he emailed it to him Friday afternoon. I tried ti install it and am currently soft bricked. It's my son's phone. I'm new to HTC and am having a few issues dealing with the whole bootloader thing. I don't know if its something I did, but the installer said that the phone was successfully updated. It hangs at the htc splash. Anybody know how I can undo this. It was unrooted with stock ROM. Used the windows installer.
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] Mutant x29:
Did it work?

Did you get it to work?

Is there a way I can try to reflash it from the sd Card?
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] chemjb:
Well this has been a hassle.

The RUU will not work on windows 8.1. Tried everything. Had to use windows 7. Got it working and boy is sweet.

Just run the ruu again. Press and hold the power button until it turns off. Then hold volume down to get to the bootloader and fastboot. And run the ruu again
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] ppcpirate:
can you upload the file or share the link. thanks!
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] a22matic:
So run the RUU, then fastboot on a non-Windows 8.1 pc, correct? Just confirming...
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] theotrman:
Just want to let everyone know that I got the RUU and it is running great!

Don't ask for a link bc I'm scared of the repercussions and I really don't share my toys. ??
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] rodohmes:
For those who got the RUU directly from HTC, I'm interested to know if you're able to use data when roaming. I'm on the stock leaked ROM Captain Throwback zipped up and none of the workarounds have worked (toggling data roaming widget, data refresh, etc) for me yet.

[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] rthomas2150:
pleaseee

can someone please pm me the link i am restricted from the email pleaseee pm me!!!
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] Captain_Throwback:
You realize that if everyone starts giving away the link, and people start having issues and reporting them to HTC, they might start to wonder who's been passing these files along and then cease doing so.

Can everyone please just use the proper channels for getting the link, so we can keep this open relationship with HTC and they don't shut it down?
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] ppcpirate:
makes sense, sorry about asking.
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] bugguy:
I understand that's the correct and right way of doing things. Maybe it's just that we asked via email on the weekend, but waiting sucks especially when you know other people are trying it out. I will continue to hope that come Monday I'll feel the love too :)
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] :
The only issue I can report, after approximately 24 hours of use, is a ghost app. It was an app I used before that downloaded automatically when everything was setting up the first time. I uninstalled it and now after a reboot or sense restart, it reappears as a ghost app. Pretty minor so overall I'm very satisfied so far.

EVOlved human
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] Captain_Throwback:
You uninstalled it through the Play Store? It seems to be related to apps that install automatically to the SD card.
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] :
Yes Captain. The app was 1-tap clean cache pro. I've read in your thread that others were having the same issue. Was there a fix for this? The reason I uninstalled was it kept FCing after the RUU.

[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] baknblack:
I was in Verizon country today and roaming data worked. Slowly at 1x. I'm running the stock sense 5 Cap'n posted and the eqs(systemui) that sin posted in that thread. Someone said the stock roaming widget doesn’t work.

Is this your setup?
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] Magnum_Enforcer:
This works for me on Captain's ROM:thumbup:

Sent from my EVO LTE
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] rodohmes:
Thanks guys. I had tried Sin's modified systemui but went back to stock due to the battery icon inconsistencies. (I have a weird aesthetics issue that made those things drive me nuts). I wasn't in roaming when I tried, though. I might try again, but I was seeing the same thing on Sense 5.5 too. I'll be patient and fiddle with some things. Thanks for the feedback. :thumbup:

EDIT: a quick change of battery icons in the Sense 5 toolbox fixed the battery icon thingy. Good to go. I'll report back after I'm in roaming again.
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] Captain_Throwback:
No fix. It's how HTC setup the storage that seems to cause the issue.
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] rodohmes:
Not a fix, but it was suggested to simply hide the ghost apps in the app drawer, if that's something folks would like to do.
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] ombobop:
would somebody please email me the RUU? or should i email to HTC to get it? my email rubiariantohudoyo9@gmail.com
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] Magnum_Enforcer:
You need to email HTC like everyone else that has received the RUU.

Otherwise, if you're rooted and S-off you can try out one of the 4.3 Sense 5 ROM's posted in the development sections.

Sent from my EVO LTE
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] jbhtexas:
The PRLs that consumer accounts typically get limit data roaming to 1xRTT, so the 1xRTT limit probably is not related to the ROM. It's good to hear that roaming seems to be working with this ROM.

For who was previously s-off and rooted prior to upgrading. I know the firmware is updated in this ROM, thus has flashing the update re-locked your boot loader and/or removed root ? :confused:

[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] Magnum_Enforcer:
Just a little food for thought for those who are planning on installing the RUU they receive from HTC. If you're not already S-off, I suggest doing it before you take the RUU. If you update and decide you want to go back to AOSP or another older software/firmware version, you WON'T be able to do so while S-on. You'll have to wait until an S-off exploit for the new version is made available. Those of us who are on the update already and have S-off can go back to an older version if we so choose. Just a word to the wise:)
