Hello, my apologies if this problem has arisen in the past. however, after rigorously browsing the forums, I came up short.
When I install/ flash the jellybam rom or cm10.1 rom, the screen stops working except for in bootloader and twrp recovery. I heard you have to downgrade the touch panel, how do i do that?
I have;
-HBOOT 2.09
- build 3.19 and I belive everything else is up to date on the latest software.
I _think_ you need to update the touch panel drivers/firmware also, located here: http://themikmik.com/showthread.php...LE-Jewel-Radio-Collection&p=220556&viewfull=1
tp_SYN3202.img is the latest, but it says it will break touch screen in recovery and on non-stock roms if done incorrectly.
I would ask this question in captain_throwback's latest firmware thread before you install tp_SYN3202.img
I'm only pointing you in the right direction, I have NO experience with updating the touch panel .img - please ask someone who has dealt with this before you do ANYTHING (I just dont want you to break your evo!)

Thanks mate, I'll go there to see what I can do!
Cheers and Thanks!
The newest touch panel firmware doesn't work with AOSP, AOKP, 3.15 based ROMs (or lower), or older recoveries..You need to revert to the old TP firmware before flashing any ROM not based on 3.16.

As far as I know all the files are located in Capt Throwback's firmware thread. You probably need S-Off to flash them though. The new 3.16 OTA updated the touchscreen's firmware. This new update is only good with the latest TWRP and 3.16 based roms..so to flash anything on the old base or AOSP you need the old touchscreen firmware. Hope that clears it up a little.

Yes, I've finally got it to work! Thanks for all the support. All I had to do was follow dirty racun's s-off method. For some reason doing that my build number went from 3.16 to 3.15 and my band version downgraded from 1.12.11.1210 to 1.12.11.1119.

I seem to have the same problem.
I'm running the viper rom on my evo 4g. Was going to upgrade to the latest version and wanted to update firmware first.
I grabbed the latest twrp (4.2.1) installed that, rebooted.
I then grabbed the latest firmware from themikmik, installed that and rebooted.
And i then grabbed the tp_syn3202 update and installed that and rebooted
And now my touch screen does not respond to any touch input. I don't know what to do at this point since they only thing i can do is either force the phone to reboot, or go into hboot by holding down the volume down and camera keys. And all that does is ask me if i want to reinstall the tp update.
I don't know how to get into twrp to even try and install the latest rom assuming that would fix the issue.

nevermind - i got it. I didn't realize if i left the PJ75img.zip file on there it would automatically go into trying to update and not give me any other option. I deleted that file and then i was able to get into twrp and install the rom update.

You have to downgrade your touch panel driver to the 3.15 version. Check the thread below and go to the downloads link in the first post. The touch panel driver is installed the same way you upgrade firmware, through the bootloader.
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1704612
On the page with the downloads, the touch panel zip is in the second post and is labeled " tp_SYN3202.img zip". If you've forgotten how to do a firmware update, hit the top link in my sig and look for the section on firmware updates.
Seriously though, there are plenty of newer, up-to-date ROM's out there. Why would you bother with this one?

Make a backup before you go any further. Check out Captain Throwback's firmware thread regarding upgrading your firmware.
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1704612
If you plan to stick with 3.16 ROMs, you can flash the new touch panel update, otherwise stick with what you have and flash the 3.16 firmware through the bootloader. The upgraded touch panel isn't included with the 3.16 firmware. Also remember that if you flash the new touch panel update you need to be running at least TWRP 2.4.1.0.
The advice is free....the bandwidth, not so much

yeah i read all that (haven't looked at the thread yet tho). but how do i do it through bootloader??? and the touch panel update is cool. is that through bootloader also??? and how? rename it to pc75 something something then change? and does it have to be in a certain order? and do i need to do that before i do my nandroid?
edit: after reading your link, you the man birmingham
Go ahead and make a backup. Afterwards, download the firmware to the root directory of your external SD card. Name the file PJ75IMG.zip (make sure that you don't have an extra zip on the end or it won't work). Reboot to bootloader. If it doesn't automatically scan for the zip you may have to select the bootloader option in the menu. Just follow the on screen instructions and you should be golden. The touch panel is updated the same way, if I recall correctly (been a few weeks since I did it)
The advice is free....the bandwidth, not so much
Isn't it PJ75IMG, not PC75? Also, if you update tp, you'll be really limited what ROMs you can use.
From my Evo LTE, yup.

The touch panel update isn't in Captain's firmware zip, so if all you did was update your firmware then you are fine. You have to update the touch panel separately.

Anything that's based on 3.16 will work. CM or anything based on 3.15 or lower need the older one. And Captain_Throwback has the older tp image in his firmware thread so it's not that hard to downgrade if needed.

I am not able to flash any rom.
I am having errors when flashing and I have never sseen them before. I assumed it was from the new firmware I have flashed.
I flashed the 3.16.651.3 JellyBean OTA - LATEST found at http://themikmik.com/showthread.php...dio-Collection&p=220556&viewfull=1#post220556
I am really frustrated and hate my phone right now because I can't flash the rom I want.
Did you flash the touch panel too, or just the firmware without touch? AFAIK, the tp doesn't work for non 3.16, and will cause issues. When you say you are getting errors, what are the errors?
We can't see the phone and what it's doing from here, need info.

I flashed the full firmware, which apparently has the tp in it.
So that is the problem?
Can I flash 3.15 and be good to go?
Are you s-off? If so you can downgrade the TP only. The zip for that is in the firmware thread.
Downgrading firmware will result in a brick I believe. If you are s- on then either stay with 3.16 ROMs or s- off your phone.

If you flashed full firmware, it means that you s-off, what recovery do you use? Downgrade tp first, then you can downgrade recovery if you want, from here. http://teamw.in/project/twrp2/98 Scroll all the way down to bootloader flashable 2.3.1.0

If you didn't install the standalone touch panel update, you don't need to downgrade your touchpanel. The 3.16 full firmware file in the thread you listed does NOT include the updated touchpanel.

So the reason it won't flash is because I'm using TWRP 2.4.4?

Relax man, it's part of my sig. Sorry if you thought it was directed at you-it's not
Ummm......as far as downgrading, one of the root methods had you downgrade your phone. Can't recall which one, can't really be bothered to look it up, but that's how a lot of people got s-off. Technically, you temp-brick your phone, but I mean...it takes all of half an hour, if that.
EDIT: ....well, hell. Not that it matters now. *LOL* Glad it was resolved -- didn't see the other posts when I made mine.
I am Using HTC EVO 4G LTE in india under reliance india network.
I am using it for almost 2 months without any issues,
Last week i installed the Jelly bean OTA, from them onwards the device keeps on restarting every 5 min.
Its boots perfectly works stably for 5 min and then it re-starts.
I dont know what to do? .. Will downgrading to ICS will fix this problem.?
If so whats the best method to downgrade .. I am noob when it comes to this device. Please guide me.
I checked the forum but its with too many posts and got confused on it.
Honestly the first thing I would retry is a factory reset(if your not already s off) just make sure to backup any data you want saved onto your pc first. Perhaps even a phone call to your carrier as well that way they can document the issue so if you need a replacement later the paper trail will help.

Cant get a replacement as i am in india right now, this is a sprint phone, i programmed it for indian carrier and using it.
I tried the factory reset already but it didnt help at all.
Can you tell me as how to downgrade to ICS 4.0.4 version, that was very stable in my mobile.

There is probably ten thousand more people on here that can give you a more qualified answer than what I'm about to but I can tell you right now your gonna have to do the leg work and work your search bars...But I have recently been dealing with downgrading these EvoLTE's lately so I can at least help you narrow it down(a little).
Since you upgraded to JellyBean, I think the most important thing you will need to know is whether it updated you from the 2.13 firmware to the 3.16 firmware and whether your touch panel img was updated or not. If you were updated to 3.16 with the new touch panel, your basically going to have a heck of a hard time trying to downgrade to ICS...You'll have to get s-off and use a linux/ubunta live cd to downgrade it back to 2.13 so that you can then load a ICS rom. (BTW, if your in this boat, good luck because until they come up with a easier way to downgrade(if they ever do) it seems to be no joke, I wouldn't even attempt it, but I'm pretty much a noob to this stuff)
If your still, hopefully, on 2.13 , then all you should have to do is unlock your bootloader, and add the ICS rom to your sd card and flash a TWRP custom recovery then flash/install the rom through the bootloaders recovery(TWRP recovery). I would recommend the MeanRom ICS rom, it's easy to find and a great ICS rom that is basically stock. That or hunt down a stock 4.0.4 rom. Good luck.

Most likely not. When the EVO got the official update to software version 3.16, the firmware that came with that update included an update to the touch panel. If you have the updated touch panel you can only use ROM's that are software version 3.16. Using anything else will render the touch panel inoperable. Your best bet, as stated above, is to get S-off. Once you do this you can install the previous touch panel driver and flash an ICS ROM. You can leave everything else as-is. There is no need to downgrade your firmware.

Sorry, I posted this thread in wrong location..
Hi folks,
this is my first post on XDA. I have a Sprint htc EVO 4G LTE phone which was running on JB.
Thought of root and flash with CM. So, first I unlocked the bootloader using htc dev and installed TWRP custom recovery and then rooted.
Then I flashed the stable CM 10 then flashed gapps which is compatible for CM 10 version. so far so good. oh, btw I did nandroid backup before flash and also wiped to factory reset, cache and Delvic cache.
After the flash i clicked on reboot system and I see the Cyanogenmod boot, but its stuck at that stage and I waited for more than an hour. No luck.
Thank god I did back up before this, otherwise not sure what I'm gonna do.
But, could someone tell me why it gets stuck at this point. I know some of you guys had this problem. I searched everywhere but didn't get help. I thought of posting this in android development forum, but as a newbie I can't do that.
Please help me out.
P.S: when I'm on boot screen (power button + vol down button) I see unlocked at the top but I also have TAMPERED in red color on top of that. Was this normal? or do you think that is causing the problem? and what should I do now?
If you're on Hboot 1.15+, you need to flash the kernel separately from the ROM if you're S-on. Click the link in my sig for further info.
The tampered warning at the top of the bootloader screen is normal.

You are right. I must flash the kernel and I did. guess what? It got flashed and after CM boot the next screen is language setup and my touchscreen is not responding at all...only the power and volume buttons are working..
I had a backup so thought of going back to it and I restored to it. It is not even booting up. My phone stays at htc quietly brilliant screen for long time and then splashing screen 2 times in a minute or so and then restarting automatically.
I have no clue what to do at this point.
I had Jellybam ROM saved on my sd card so I wiped my phone and flashed it. after rebooting it got stucked at htc boot screen.
I'm thinking may be the kernel doesn't support the Jellybam ROM. Is it?
How can I change the kernel?
How can I use my phone now?
does Jellybam requires separate kernel to flash it?
can you recommend any ROM's which includes their own kernel?
any help is greatly appreciated.

The stable download is an ancient version of CM. Circa 2012 ancient. IRC = Internet Relay Chat. There should be a sticky on this forum for how to setup and connect to IRC. Latest build can be found there.

If you're on the latest OTA (Hboot 2.09, baseband ending in 1210) you can only run ROM's based off the latest OTA (software version 3.16). This is due to an upgraded touch panel driver, which is why your touchscreen doesn't work. You can gain S-off and downgrade the driver so you can run AOSP ROM's, like CM.
Most Sense ROM's include a kernel installer to simplify the flashing process when S-on (MeanBean & ViperROM, to name a few). Just follow the instructions in the OP for whatever ROM you're wanting to flash.

Like I said, you can install a ROM based off software version 3.16. That will get you up and running. As far as S-off, you'll have to use Dirty Racun, which can be found in the link below.

After gaining S-off, head over to Captain Throwback's firmware thread in the development section. You can download the 3.15 touch panel driver there. The link to his thread is below.

Thanks @ FinZ28
I flashed MeanROM_3.09 and its working perfectly. Nothing wrong with it, except I felt like its not a custom ROM. I meant its nothing but htc sence with some extra. I was looking for ROM's which should be like pure google interface. ex. CM, clean ROM etc
I know I have to downgrade my firmware and S-off, but looks like my doors were closed. I'm a windows user and all the support was for Linux. (I decided to learn Linux ) I can get this done if I find any guide on doing S-off on windows.
Can you suggest any ROM's which will work on my device and which should look like pure google?
btw, I took your suggestion and tried installing ROM's based off 3.16. like JellyBam, cleanROM. JellyBam not even boot up and cleanROM having trouble with touchscreen. Not sure why.
This is my device config
Device: HTC EVO 4G LTE
JEWEL PVT SHIP S-ON RL (This is what I see when I go into bootloader)
Android version: 4.1.1
ROM: MeanROM_3.09
Kernel: [email protected]!1 SMP PREEMPT

Radio: 1.12.11.1210
PRI: 2.97_003

I'm not sure what requires to flash a new ROM, so I'm giving everything I know.
Thanks and I really appreciate your help.

Viper ROM has a "senseless" opción, when you flash it you can choose in the aroma installer this and it should remove most of sense or whatever is safe so you have the stability of sense plus some kind of pure google look by choosing nova or apex... It also has a kernel installer if you are s-on, a lot of customization and great support... Check it out here:

There is another option that was recently released for Windows users with the most current OTA for S-OFF called Moonshine. You can find it if memory serves me correctly in 'Android Development' in the EVO LTE forums here.
Forgot to mention about moonshine, it is windows friendly as fas as I know...

did you check the md5? did you made a nadroid of your meanbean setup? Team Venom has their own s-n kernel installer you can try to use it here is the link: http://www.androidfilehost.com/?fid=9390288116658472175
edit: wrong kernel installer sorry! here is the right one: http://www.androidfilehost.com/?fid=9390288116658474895
per OP in Viper Rom thread: Any User having issues with bootloops, please try Venom IMG Flasher to properly install the kernel. Choose the correct version above.
*This is currently for windows users only. It also includes TWRP recovery that you can flash if needed. Download the zip...extract...and run the .exe.

But, I really want cyanogenmod 10 with 4.2.2. So my search is still open. will take a look at the moonshine.
You guys are rock..prompt and very quick responses..I wish I would have do root and participate in this forum years ago

Glad you got it fixed, try to get s-off using moonshine, as far as I know is windows friendly you just have to UNINSTALL HTC SYNC, and since you already rooted and unlocked I'm sure you have adb and fastboot in your computer and that's all you need! After that you should be able to downgrade your TP driver and use all the AOSP roms, man is great and now with Halo it's even better... Good Luck!
sorry if this has been explained somewhere. I have been looking for hours. i need to downgrade my evo 4g lte back to isc so I can get the diag drivers to work to flash to cricket network with qpst. What I am look for is which ruu to use and can I just downgrade using which ever one I want. I did read somewhere that downgrading won't work. I did download an ruu, but windows will not open it for some reason. I am on 3.16 and hboot 2.09. moonshine s-off thanks in advance!!
First off, I'm not 100% certain on this. I think, because you are S-off you can flash MeanRom ICS and that may be all you need. Search the development forums for the download. Again, I'm not an expert but I have heard that this is possible.

If you're on the newest firmware update you would need to downgrade your touch panel driver to the previous version (unless you already have), otherwise your touch panel won't work if you install a ROM that's not based on software version 3.16. You could then flash an ICS ROM. You may also need to downgrade your recovery to an older version like 2.3.3.0. Other than that you should be good to go.
If you need to downgrade your touch panel driver, look in the link below.

Look in the downloads section of Captain's firmware thread. Use the touch panel from the 3.15 update. Install it as you would any other firmware update. There should be no need to change recoveries.
You need the touch panel labeled "tp_SYN3202.img zip ".
