Frustrated and need help - Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE

Current state of phone:
bootloader = relocked tampered
S-ON
Hboot = 2.09.0000
radio = 1.12.11.1210
Phone has no OS/Rom all I have access to is bootloader and recovery TWRP
Unable to flash a rom in TWRP
Had freshly rooted replacement evo LTE (as of yesterday)
-unlocked HTCdev method
-installed superuser and gained root access
today, tried to install a custom sense based rom (located here: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1712618 )
Aroma install was unable to set up permissions and install failed and dropped me into a boot loop
tried installing several other sense roms and CM10 with no success before realizing that TWRP was not able to mount several aspects such as Cache and other import parts.
unable to fix
have since:
-relocked bootloader
-attempted to run RUU.exe files with no success
-attempted to gain s-off to use viperRUU and got the error message "FAILED (remote: 43 mail version check fail)"
I am at a loss... could someone please help, if you need me to check anything please just let me know what you need and how to get it.

Since you are S-ON you have to fastboot flash the boot.img/kernel and then the rom
Try MeanBean it is S-ON friendly it has a kernel installer
BTW you will have to unlock again

Have you tried to sideload a rom thru twrp?
You may have to format your sdcards and start fresh (if you take this route backup the important stuff to your PC first)

Im honestly not sure which route to take, what would you suggest as a sure proof method to resolve the issue, backing up everything now from sd card and then I have no data to lose.
I have never sideloaded really before, what exactly do I need to do

If it's not a huge deal I would just format both sdcards and start fresh.
To sideload
Go into twrp
1. Select Advance
2. Select ADB Sideload
3. Check the boxes to wipe chache/dalvik cache and swipe to begin
4. Re-name the rom zip something easy to type haha and put it in your android-sdk/platform-tools folder(or wherever you have your ADB and Fastboot located)
5. Open a cmd window from that folder and type adb sideload filename.zip
Once it's done sideloading it will flash the zip

Does it mount when you connect to your PC? Both sdcards?

Also what version of twrp are you using? I would suggest 2.4.1.0
get it here
http://techerrata.com/browse/twrp2/jewel
in bootloader, choose “FASTBOOT”, hit the Power button, then plug-in your microUSB cable from your phone to computer.
type "fastboot flash recovery openrecovery-twrp-2.x.x.x-jewel.img" without the quotes and press enter (Replace the x's with the version you choose exp. 2.3.3.0)
Copy and paste is the easiest way to do this that way there are no typo's
Now type "fastboot erase cache" without the quotes and press enter

What do you mean? You have to manually download the recovery program. Rename it to recovery.img and place it in your BOOT partition in replacement of your current recovery.
I mean within GooManager, select install open recovery script installs 2.14,
Could you please elaborate on how to copy it to the boot partition? Can that be done from within the device, or do you need to be connected through USB/adb?

I went ahead and used fastboot to update my recovery, and I understand that using the flash_image binary is a second option, but this instruction has me curious if there's a third way to do it. Any further details would be appreciated.
In case it helps anyone else, I thought I'd document a couple of the "gotchas" that I ran in to. Some of the guides I'd read didn't seem to cover a key point here or there.
Obvious to the experienced dev, I didn't realize that for fastboot to work I actually had to boot to the cyanoboot screen and 'start fastboot', then run the fastboot command on my pc. /facepalm
Windows (I'm on Win7) detected the NT with a different PID (physical ID?) in Device Manager depending on whether I was booted into cyanoboot, recovery, or fully into android, so I ended up modifying android_winusb.inf three times and installing the drivers three times, once for each state.
I too wonder why Goo Manager doesn't install a newer version. But... I'm glad for the experience of installing the ADB SDK and using fastboot.
Cheers!

Connect your USB cable to the computer and find your device's BOOT partition. Should be a FAT32 partition so Windows can read it. Replace "recovery.img" with whatever newer recovery you want. That's how I replace the recovery. I'm using a SDC version so I can also change it on my tablet. I go to /storage.sdcard1 and replace recovery.img from there.
That sounds easy. Surely there's a catch!?:thumbup:

Recovery is located in /boot only in SD-based ROM image. When running ROM internally on emmc, Recovery is located in /recovery partition. Also emmc and sd recovery use different versions of recovery.img.

I was able to mount sd with twrp and was then able to write to it.
My question for you is how in the heck did you get root?
When u flash twrp, it asks u if u want to install the supersu in order to get rooted. Say yes

SuperSU installed but it was not complete. It required me to flash a zip or go to the play store. I flashed the app and it appears to be working with the exception of s-off which is why I have been attempting to run rumrunner w/o luck

Sounds like both superSU and rumrunner are having a problem setting s-off permission. Unlocked. Do I need to do a factory reset? Re do the Htcdev unlock? or??
No u r rooted and can run rumrunner. If twrp 2.8.0.1 is no good then flash 2.7.1.1

Problem with installation TWRP

Hello XdaDevelopers :fingers-crossed:
I have a question..
One year ago I was trying to unlock my Samsung S3.. while doing it I plug-in my another phone Samsung S2 I9100 by mistake.. And installed something via Odin..
Now after 1 year of break I decided to try to recover my Samsung S2 cuz after this installation phone was unable to start.
So I started checking youtube etc, what to do.. ( I'm rookie so be polite )
I have found and downloaded Blazing Kernel v3. I was happy cuz installation completed positive ( I have no idea if I should install something else cuz it might be a problem right here)
Next step was to install TWRP
TWRP 2.8.4.0 from https://forum.xda-developers.com/galaxy-s2/development/repo-kitkat-complement-recovery-t2776594
but its rar.. so I used website http://www.zamzar.com to covnert to tar.
Here you can see my TWRP tar and Odin program http://imgur.com/a/sDTku
as you can see its analyse all the time and nothing happens..
So I decided to create tar with only 1 img file.
Made tar from this https://eu.dl.twrp.me/i9100/twrp-3.1.0-0-i9100.img.html
But same, nothing happens just analyse..
I might not need TWRP or I need something else, I'm newbie so I have no idea what to do overall ;p
Can you guys give me some help? :good::good::good:
Preparing for a clean (with loss of data) installation LineageOS 14.1 + TWRP-3.1.0-0
1. In Odin3_v3.09 install as in the screenshot :
Pit file - I9100_1.5GB-System_6GB-Data_512MB-Preload_by-the.gangster.pit.zip
The kernel is - lp-kernel-14-03-CWM-for + ODIN.tar
2. Disconnect the phone from the PC, transfer it to the CWM recovery mode.
That there were no problems with the internal memory (SDcard0), we format it:
- mounts and storage -> format / storage / sdcard0 -> default
Do a full system cleaning:
- wipe data / factory reset
- mounts and storage -> format / system
3. In the recovery process, install the files:
- TWRP-3.1.0-0-recovery-the.gangster-IsoRec-i9100.zip
+
- kernel-Lanchon-20160406-i9100.zip
4. Reboot and log in to TWRP.
5. Do not forget:
ROM - https://download.lineageos.org/i9100
+
OpenGApps - http://opengapps.org/
Good luck.

While in recovery TWRP 2.8.7.0, connect your phone to your computer and transfer these files to your phone:
TWRP-3.1.0-0-recovery-the.gangster-IsoRec-i9100.zip + kernel-Lanchon-20160406-i9100.zip

I do not answer right away, because I do not know English. While I was translating all this, time passes, often I write what you need, the translation is not at all what I wanted.

Don't worry, you are doing great work! I installed somehow. What next?
We have a problem with memory, do not mount it.
Let's start from the beginning.
Have you downloaded ROM from OpenGApps?

I was installing everything what you gave me. Nothing more.
Also I istalled wipe using custom install.
1. In Odin, install:
- I9100_1.5GB-System_6GB-Data_512MB-Preload_by-the.gangster.pit
- lp-kernel-14-03-CWM-for + ODIN.tar
As in the screenshot
2. Disconnect the phone from the PC, transfer it to the CWM recovery mode.
That there were no problems with internal memory (SDcard0), we format it:
- mounts and storage -> format / storage / sdcard0 -> default
Do a full system cleaning:
- wipe data / factory reset
- mounts and storage -> format / system
3. In the recovery process, install the files:
TWRP-3.1.0-0-recovery-the.gangster-IsoRec-i9100.zip
+
Kernel-Lanchon-20160406-i9100.zip
5. Reboot and go to TWRP.

SD formatted as internal storage

With my external SD formatted as internal storage, CR Droid Rom file can't be found for me to flash it. No matter where I put the zip file, I can't find it when I go into Recovery. Any ideas?

Both storage showing in recovery??
Make sure you didn't change from zip to rar..
In Recovery under storage it has the internal storage which includes the SD card and then a small external of 15mb. And yes, it's still a zip file.

You can download it from twrp site and flash it via adb...
Yeah, it's not working via the TWRP app. ADB is through a computer, right?

Yes. .
Download recovery.IMG and flash it by this command..
fastboot flash recovery recovery name.img
I downloaded the latest twrp and the filename is twrp-3.1.1-0-kiwi. Using that command I added . img at the end of the filename. I received an error in ADB stating it cannot load that file. I just t looked at the instructions and I forgot to wipe the system and cache before installing the new CR Droid zip. Does that make a difference? Should I do that and try installing the new version of the Rom? Or will the issue of not being able to see the Rom zip file still be there?

No need to wipe anything..
Rename recovery to just twrp.IMG and then try again..
Twrp you are flashing should be in the adb folder..
Renamed it to just twrp and got the same error message. What I was asking about wiping the cache and system is if I want to install the latest CR Droid Rom. I really appreciate your help and please don't feel like you're committed to helping. I may just see if I can flash the new ROM using adb

It shouldn't give that error...
You can flash new twrp with old twrp too..
Just copy it in SD and and click installed/image and locate and flash it in recovery partition....
Caution don't flash it in boot partition..
No you cannot flash custom ROM via adb fast boot... You need a twrp recovery to flash that...
I gave the TWRP app another read try and it worked. I was able to update twrp and that allowed me to install the new ROM. Thanks for your tips and help!

TWRP Stuck, not working [Xiaomi Redmi 6]

Hi there..
So basically I have already once rooted my xiaomi [Magisk] and somehow it rolled back after an update and now it is not rooted anymore.
I already unlocked my bootloader a long time ago. It still is unlocked.
So I downloaded adb again, got the right sakura.img file and ran the usual commands.
1. adb reboot bootloader
2. fastboot flash recovery sakura.img
3. Holding the volume + & start button
-> It won't let me continue from here. I am stuck on the screen which shows the Mi logo and below it, he unlocked symbol.
I've tried instead of step 3, "fastboot boot Sakura.img" , but it still is frozen like I mentioned above. Did I forget an important step maybe? I'v already downloaded Magisk zip file via the .apk and just would like to go into the TWRP to install the .zip file.
IIRC the typical command sequence is
Code:
adb devices
adb reboot bootloader
fastboot devices
fastboot <FASTBOOT-SUBCOMMAND>
fastboot reboot
Encrypt mount storage password
Well I somehow fixed the issue meanwhile.
But now I had the internal storage 0mb issue.
I've disabled the passwords and tried my home screen pin but it didn't work out.
I wiped everything now and hope that I don't need to unlock my phone again...

You need to format /data (not wipe) and type 'yes' to format. That's an encryption thing that is done to the device

Formatting with do a full ext4 format (or f2fs) on /data. Wiping just removes the contents under /data (it's hard to explain)

More less like a rm -rf in a way without actually doing a format

But a format makes a new filesystem as ext4 or f2fs which ever /data has

A wipe just removes all files and directories under /data where as a full format will create a new filesystem and format the block device
