Yea, i meant stuck for nothing...Im gonna do a fresh win 7 install on a spare hard drive...ill post results...
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] celticking:
No idea what's wrong here. I'm on an old version of twrp.

Downloaded the ruu, plugged the phone in, and get error 158. Claims it's not the correct ruu.

Even downloaded an old ruu to roll it back to stock. Nothing. Win 7 here.

If your bootloader is unlocked, you have to relock it first for this to flash.
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] FusionX:
I didn't relock it. It flashed fine for me.
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] FusionX:
indeed
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] Captain_Throwback:
Then that's why. S-ON Unlocked people have to relock to flash the RUU.
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] Captain_Throwback:

[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] Hi5josh:
Hey Captain, can you make a separate thread dedicated to explaining the status of the device. I mean like explaining how the storage partition conflicts with older ROMs, and why the standard users should or should not update right now. I know you have two ROMs built from source that support the partition tables. The thing holding me back is knowing I can't go back to legacy ROMs. I was wondering if you or any other devs have looked into the possibility of decompiling the RUU, allowing for the 'Stock' ROM to have the older partition table, making it possible to simply flash, and revert back if need be. Last but not least a possibility of updating everything else from the RUU such as HBOOT, radios, etc. Sorry, I'm not a dev, I'm just wondering about these things since the OG EVO seemed to be straight forward like this. I know we should be thankful that HTC even gave us this. Keep up the good work!
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] Osirus71:

Well fact HTC still lists this phone in the integration phase kinda is worrisome to depend on their software site to be up to date with status of devices.....

So do I follow the same method to root the Evo? I'm s-on and locked and I updated the evo to sense 5 Android 4.4
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] numel007:
To those experiencing issues with the RUU not recognizing your device, flash stock ROM then connect USB with debugging enabled. Make sure HTC Sync is installed, running, and it detects the phone. If it does, then you're all good and the RUU should work just fine now. Thanks to Jamie for helping me out with this.
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] gunfromsako:
Stock Rom is loaded, USB debugging is enabled, ADB and FASTBOOT BOTH work fine, HTC SYNC is installed and up to date, ALL Drivers are installed and im not good to go...LOL However i cant even get to the screen to detect my device...smh
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] Captain_Throwback:
Did you already try what I suggested?

Hint: see Post #68
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] Captain_Throwback:
No. My recommendation is that everyone S-OFF and update.
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] gunfromsako:
Yes I did... however i dont think anything is getting extracted as the newest files in my temp folder are from last night and i just tried to run it 10 mins ago. I know i can flash your rom zip from dev host and all the firmware but i would like to figure this out just for my sanity. I dont even use my evo for my daily device so its not that big of a deal but when i cant get something working it just irks me...lol. If you check my screen shot from post #53 that is as far as it runs. After the setup screen it just crashes and i can run the 3.17 RUU and it goes through the whole process.

Edit: I'm updating win7 at the moment we'll see if this helps. ?
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] xhaui:
Do you have another windows 7 machine available? The RUU wouldn't work on my desktop but when I threw it on a flash drive and ran it from my laptop it worked just fine.
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] gunfromsako:
Unfortunately I do not...I'm in the process of doing some serious PC cleaning and then I may just install a fresh win7 on my 2nd HDD. Updating did not help either it still just runs the setup screen and then crashes...
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] elmy2424:
It is possible to root this Rom?

How can I do it?
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] IM0001:
Why does it sound like you have a Corrupt RUU or something if it's not even extracting properly.

Please go Here and read. It really is easy to do. (hint, look at Post 3 as well as Search the Thread for "SuperSU"...
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] gunfromsako:
I have no idea this is my MD5 which has matched others: C6AC16FCDD39818F43158329EBDAD957

It doesnt even get to the to extraction process, all it loads is the very first screen and once the progress bar fills up it crashes with no error.:confused:
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] un1ocked:
my md5 = A191C17835C68DB69BF42BFB705DA4E7

please post some md5 value for this RUU file or maybe a torrent

mine got this error
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] IM0001:
That matches mine. It sounds then like something Is messed up with your Installer in Windows. Maybe Malware or some other corruption.

Time for a good backup and wipe with a fresh reinstall ;)
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] Captain_Throwback:
Yup. This is what mine does on Windows 8.1. Extracts, then disappears. Flash tool never shows up. It just dies without a trace. Thus the reason I chose to go the PJ75IMG.zip method. There are quite a few things that don't work properly for me on Windows 8.1. Worst upgrade ever.
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] hasseye:
Wow, I installed HTC Sync, the software recognized my phone, I was convinced the RUU was going to work. Sure enough once again when trying to get into the bootloader, windows comes up with an error message saying failed to recognize your device.

I'm thinking about saying forget using the RUU and just flashing Captain's firmware and recovery package instead and then flashing Sense5.5.

Captain I apologize if i'm being repetitive, but what does the RUU do differently that your latest firmware (i'm assuming from the RUU) doesn't do when flashing?
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] Captain_Throwback:
It flashes everything. My firmware has pieces removed for convenience. But for a clean slate it's better to RUU. The zip method will still work.
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] gunfromsako:
Just out of curiosity what pieces are removed? And could those pieces be flushed via fastboot?
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] FusionX:
Are you on win8.1??? Go download the USB.zip from this post. Unzip, go to proper folder in zip for 32 or 64 bit, then manually copy usbhub.sys and usbport.sys to C:\windows\system32\drivers then reboot.

This is the same link Captain posted yesterday regarding the USB issue on win8.1
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] Captain_Throwback:
HBOOT & recovery are swapped out w/my modified versions and boot & splash are also removed. Once you break the signature on the zip, it's just not the same. I feel like that's part of what normalizes the device. But that's just me.
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] Osirus71:
which stock rom did you use??? also, did you RUU with Win 8/8.1 or Win 7????
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] gunfromsako:
I feel you and agree 100% that's one reason I fought this ruu so much. I still might play a little more with it later...
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] Captain_Throwback:
The zips extracted from the RUU still have the signatures intact, which is why I recommended them ;).
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] Valsorim:
So after going going back to viperRUU d/t some LTE issues (I wasnt getting 4G where i normally was) doing a hard reset and re-activation, i re-ran RUU and things feel like everything is back to normal and i'm starting w a clean slate. There has bee a lot here (Evo LTE forums) and been a learning experience, and i felt like i made things more complicated then they need to be at times. I was able to get a couple thing working that i liked in a couple of my previous roms like animated sync, animated gps and larger % battery mods after reading and learning how to decompile apks. Its been time consuming but fun for me, annoying to my wife. I appreciate all the work put in by Captain and friends. Just wanted to thank you
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] Osirus71:
For those having RUU install issues....

For those of you having trouble getting the RUU to run correctly, follow the following steps to run in Bootloader instead.....I just followed Captain_Throwbacks instructions from this link:

http://xdaforums.com/showpost.php?p=50487437&postcount=3

You must have a way to access your Micro SD Card from your PC so you can transfer and delete files from it.

Of course make sure all your data is BACKED UP!!!

1. Download both files to your PC....

2. Rename PJ75IMG1.zip to PJ75IMG.zip and place on root of SD Card.

3. Reboot phone to Bootloader Menu and run .zip file and let it do its thing....

4. After file is done, remove Micro-SD Card and delete PJ75IMG.zip and replace with PJ75IMG2.zip making sure to rename it to PJ75IMG.zip again.

5. Place Miro-SD Card back into phone and reboot while holding Volume Key down for Bootloader Menu.

6. Run .zip and let it finish (this part takes a bit of time to complete).

7. Reboot phone into a fresh install of Sense 5 Android 4.3 Final Update - 4.13.651.3

Enjoy.....

[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] SilverZero:
Good summary, this is exactly how I did it. After this you just have to flash TWRP and then you can go in and install whatever ROM you like (based on the new partition layout, of course).
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] hasseye:
Thanks for the help everyone. I bit the bullet and borrowed my sisters old and slow laptop that had Windows 7 on it. I can't say it went smoothly, but I flashed the RUU and it worked.

I'm going to flash the firmware and recovery now, wipe everything, then flash Sense5.5 and that should complete it right?
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] Osirus71:
No need for firmware...just recovery now since you RUU'd and that has the firmware update in it. dont forget to flash superuser as well after rom....:good:
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] gstanke:
After the ruu should my software version be different?
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] ADM818:
I think it's because sense 5.5 is a port from the one mini.
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] gstanke:
So if I were to switch to captains stock it in theory would change?
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] Osirus71:
Its supposed to look like this....4.13.651.3

Now it's time this and the sense 5 Rom will get fun, both roms are great at performance, now it's gonna get even better...
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] jbhtexas:
Has anyone been able to test data roaming with this final release RUU? During the test releases, several posters reported the inability to get data while roaming (not sure about voice), and some data roaming related settings seemed to be missing.

Thanks!
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] lreyes:
People that run the RUU will get better data. People who just flashed the firmware and Rom get bad data so the resort to the Roaming options that were left out. I'm not sure about data and roam because my area is decent with data
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] jbhtexas:
Understood. But I frequently travel through an area where there is no Sprint coverage, so roaming has to work or I can't take this RUU.
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] lreyes:
Roaming and data should work. If not then you can change your PRL to a Verizon one. I'm not sure if anyone has done this on the 4.13 but people have done it on 3.17
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] jbhtexas:
If you take a look at the Captian's thread over in the Original Development forum, it was reported that roaming was actually disabled in the first test 4.13 test release from HTC, and settings in an xml file had to be changed by users in order to get data roaming to work. So, if anybody has actually got data roaming to work with the final RUU, those of us who have to roam occasionally would be grateful to hear you!
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] rodohmes:
I tried the xml edit on stock Sense 5 and the Sense 5.5 port and I couldn't get data roaming no matter what I did. Others reported being able to data roam fine after that edit, though. I did the RUU yesterday and my phone wouldn't activate at all. Could get any data connection period. I couldn't refresh data, activate the phone, or update prl or profile. I ran the RUU again and it worked fine - data works as it should now. I'm running the Sense 5.5 ROM and as of V3 it has the roaming options enabled plus an additional roam only option. I have yet to be in my usual roaming areas to test, though.

A guy on Google+ said he ran the newest RUU on 2 phones and it disabled data roaming on both, so it would seem Sprint removed that option intentionally. I'm really thankful for devs here that give us full functionality of our devices.
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] Hybrid0NE:
Does anyone know what happened with the "Stay Awake While Charging" option that used to be in Developer options on the prior software? Is it officially no longer supported by HTC?
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] comstar:
You have to use sense5 toolbox and enable it under "various mods" then it shows up under developer.
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] markb629:
There's a mod in the sense 5 toolbox to bring back the screen on while charging option.
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] jbhtexas:
Thanks for the reply!

Sorry for not quite understanding...You ran the latest RUU yesterday and have the roaming options, but the guy on Google+ did the latest RUU and roaming was disabled...didi he mean by that that the roaming options were missing? Did you apply xml edit after the RUU?

Thanks!
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] rodohmes:
Yeah, sorry for not being clear - after the latest RUU, data roaming did not work for me or the guy on Google+. You can flash Captain Throwback's stock ROM and apply the xml edits or flash the Sense 5.5 ROM that has them plus a roam only mod baked in (which is what I've done). Again though, I have not been roaming yet to confirm working for me, but Captain Throwback posted a screen shot of him successfully getting data roaming by force roaming.
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] lreyes:
That doesn't make sense though. (HTC never gave the RUU to sprint. They did but we didn't get the copy that sprint edit) I don't think HTC would get rid of Roaming like that. Maybe they borked something in the process and just gave up on it. I'll look into the roaming thing a bit more and thanks for the info :D

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

It's a pure Android feature. They just disabled it. If you have Sense 5 tool box. There's a option that enables it :D
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] Captain_Throwback:
P.S. That kernel source isn't for this ROM. The Software version is wrong. The Android version is a typo - the kernel name matches the 3.17.651.4 kernel, not this one. Sorry!

I have emailed HTCDev about this discrepancy and hope to hear from them soon. Now, back to laying down.
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] jbhtexas:
I agree that it doesn't make sense, but nonetheless the lack of data roaming after installing this RUU has also been reported by users in a couple of other forums. I would think that if users install this and can't data roam that Sprint is going to get an influx of tech support inquiries about this.

There is a thread (albiet short right now) about the update on the Sprint community forums. I'm going to post a question there about data roaming. Sometimes the Sprint techs respond to posts there, so we'll see if anybody knows anything.
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] lreyes:
Let me know on what they think. :)
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] rodohmes:

Me too.
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] slinkeril:
I too installed the RUU obtained from the link given via the HTC Twitter account. This was 24 hours ago, and i can confirm there is no roaming data at all. You can make a call while roaming, but will not connect. Have been looking for a way to fix this problem, hopefully they will simply apply an OTA fix now that the phone is one large partition.

The update failed halfway through and now I am left with a semi bricked phone.

Question: There is still an official Sprint approved version due to come out eventually, correct? If there is, I'm tempted to wait because I have signal issues galore with Sprint here and need roaming. Also would like to see the Beats issue and few other things resolved.
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] onefasttreopro:
I think that htc is stepping up and offering the update through the above links, Sprint prolly won't offer as an ota update due to the fact that it won't be able open/unpack/decompress/install on the phone....it has to be done through a computer... Only other option is becoming buddy buddy with a Sprint tech who knows what's going on and they might be able to do it for you.....so no, there isn't going to be an official Sprint released version through carrier,there isn't any official support even through Sprint or HTC, I think HTC programmers did us all technically savvy ones a huge solid and offered what they did....kudos to HTC.
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] neoshi:
Thanks for the response. I was just curious because HTC lists the E4LTE on their Software Updates page as going through Integration still and that it will go through the rest. Hmm, maybe I'll ask Mo to confirm.
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] jbhtexas:
On the other hand, non-technically savvy users are hearing about this RUU through various sites (i.e. there is a thread in the Sprint community forums with the download link). Those users are going to install it, and then, unless they were very diligent in researching the RUU before they installed it, find that their data/voice roaming is broken. Sprint is probably going to be the ones taking the brunt of those tech support requests.

I think it was wonderful that HTC released betas out for "limited" testing the way this one was. But IMO, it is bizarre from a business/reputation standpoint to publically release the RUU with data and voice roaming broken...unless the intent from either Sprint or HTC was to intentionally disable roaming. If that's the case, it opens up bigger questions as to why this was intentionally done.
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] baknblack:
I remember the first phone I got from sprint that had the roam only option removed. Think it was the palm treo. I hated them for doing that. Every phone now comes with that option removed. Not a stretch to think they will try to remove it altogether at some point. Guess when they do that I'll have to stick with phones that can be hacked to add roam back or switch to a prepaid phone that uses Verizon.

It's a safety issue with me. I farm a remote area that gets just enough signal from sprint to cause the phone to be useless in automatic. Were my wife or anyone else get injured out there I want my phone to work.
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] jbhtexas:
Sounds like we are in similar situations. I don't farm now, but travel to rural areas for elderly family, and we are also evaluating whether we should switch to Verizon. And the issue is compounded now with the 4G rollout, as we can't get 3G or 4G from Sprint in areas that we previously could (and which are shown on coverage maps to be well-covered by Sprint).
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] iamkoza:
ha, i had no clue as to the technical issues with this 4.3 update... I was lucky to read the comments section of the article i was reading today announcing the Official update so I avoided doing it on a windows 8.1 PC and I uninstalled HTC Sync.... It worked for me on the first try....

But then I come here and see that data roaming is missing... luckily for me I live in a urban area and rarely have to use data roaming... but has anyone from HTC acknowledged the data roaming glitch? Anyone with twitter tweet Mo asking about it?

The good news is, there's a tether app on the play store for $2 called Wifi Tether Router. Either pay the money for that, or use the native Hotspot hack located somewhere in the thread (but you can't tether on 4g). Those are your only options at this point.
