Check the hboot version. There are different methods for each one.

i dont know how and the phone has no service yet if thats required its just an expensive game/mp3 player till i activate it
Its shown in the bootloader. Hit volume down and power button (while off) to get into it. I suggest you do a little research before proceeding. There are some good threads about rooting the inc2.

Thanks and what kind of research would you suggest. Like what should I search for on google? And does entering bootloader mess anything up or is it like recovery where I can just turn the phone off and on again and it'll be normal?

Going into the bootloader doesn't do anything to the phone, you will see your version at the top. Use the volume button to go to Fastboot and then hit power button to select. Go to reboot to get out.
I typedHow to root the incredible 2 into Google and this is what came up. There isn't a whole lot of special searching that needs to be done, the info is there with just a general search.
Hboot version is 0.98.0000 and software number is 5.10.605.9 and its android 2.3.4 any help pointing me to a specific thread or something?

There is a downgrade .98 bootloader in android development thread. You will loose all your data to downgrade and achieve s-off.
Lose data as in phone data or all my apps and stuff?
Sent from my LG-VM670 using xda premium
Everything in your sdcard will stay but all your apps will be lost.
Your contacts will be restored after you sign in to your google account and it resyncs.
SMS + MMS will be lost also
Ok thanks for the help guys

So the first time I rooted and flashed my phone it locked in loop and erased my initial boot pic and has an unrevoked pic in place, I think it takes too long to boot as well, anyone ever had this happen and what can I do?

I've rooted a bunch of Evos using unrevoked with no issues. I see you have T-Mobile under your avatar.......you are talking about an Evo, right?
Hi, no, I'm with sprint now, no problems except the damn unrevoked image on initial startup, how can I change that? What have I done to change this, help...

You can search for HTC's boot animation via the Android Development thread for any of the many available boot animations for the EVO 4G. Many of the thread promoting custom roms usually have a boot animation that can be flashed.

I am on cm7. And for some reason my 4g wont connect. So I was wondering if I flash a sense rom update my prl and then flash back will the updated prl stick? And would that fix the issue? Any help is appreciated.
Sent from my PC36100 using xda premium
The update will stay. But first download 'rsa key checker' from the market and make sure your 4g keys are still intact
We're comin from a pure power source.
Ok so it told me my key is missing. How do I fix that?

Restore a previous nandroid backup you made which might gt key back or follow -

and more info at http://androidforums.com/evo-4g-all...ved-missing-wimax-keys-update-first-post.html
Yea, you can flash a sense rom and update prl, and it will stick after flashing back to cm7, however prl has nothing to do with 3g or 4g, just roaming. If your wimax keys are lost, follow the directions above and hopefully you have a backup of your wimax keys somewhere.
Yeah I just went back s-on and am getting the phone replaced thru Sprint for the 35. For some reqson my computer doesn't work well with adb. It 6 years old.

But as hind sight is 20/20 I will be backing up Wimax and making copies of it.

I really don't know where to begin. But something is just wrong. I have downgraded hboot. Flashed stock hboot, Flashed my froyo backup. But some folders will not remove itself. Key, wifi, Bluetooth.. basically everything is just not right. Is there a way to print here with terminal.... so you guys can see, and hopefully help me find out, if everything is like it should be?

Noob here. I'm running synergyrom for the multiscreen function but it keeps dropping calls and I can't send text messages. I have rebooted, taken the battery out and all and it works for a sec till 4g lte kicks in then it stops working. I am new and my buddy rooted this for me. Any help would be great.

hm maybe it's the rom? I would head over to the synergy thread: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2113436 and ask over there maybe others have had the same or similar problems.
I would bet money that your imei was erased. Go to settings , about device , status. Is your imei 00000000 or does it have numbers.

While a great VZW rom it still has some bugs to work out for us GSM folk. I suggest you make a nandroid backup in your recovery and install something like CSROM, i747z, or maybe darthstalker. Great first time custom rom's that are easy to install and do. CSROM even has a aroma installer and its practically fool proof.
Have you flashed a rom before ? If not feel free to PM and I can help you out some
Its all 00000

Toggle airplane mode and download Goo manager and then open it and select install recovery script and then reboot to recovery.

You or your buddy need to fix that IMEI before your phone can do anything. There is a sticky in the Development section on how to do it.
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1777915
I suggest you go to the above thread. Try the second link and read the part for corrupted imei with out a back up. There is a tool that let's you type in your imei number ( which is under your battery ) and it will create the nv file and follow the instructions on how to push it to your phone.
Since your already on synergy ROM you must already have a custom recovery installed. Once you get your imei restored get a different ROM. Synergy ROM has corrupted a lot of imei's this week.

hello i got a sprint htc evo 4g it keeps freezing it started one day when my phone died i charged it and i turned it on and only went to the homescreen then froze and turned off than turned on by itself and only went to the htc evo screen than stays frozen. i tried to do the power and vol down and it goes to the screen that says LOCKED OWW S-ON screen etc and sometimes freezes there also. what can i do? please help
Has the phone ever been rooted? If not you might try rooting it and installing a custom ROM. You could also have a bad partition on your phone which is why the phone won't boot to the OS. What version is your Hboot?
