My daughter's EVO is constantly rebooting every 15-30 seconds. I can't get it to stay on long enough to run any RUU to get it back to stock to bring into Sprint. Any suggestions?
It reboots in bootloader too?

Bootloader is ok, but I can't find an IMG to flash to get back to stock recovery and stock ROM, with s-on to go into a Sprint store...Google is sick of me today!
Only helpful things I can find are the RUUs which need me to get booted and stay up and running...

If your rooted,go to recovery and wipe cache and delvik,then go to advanced and fix permissions,if that doesnt help,wipe everything,but sd card and start over,this can probably be fixed without returning it.If your having problems with getting to recovery,then go through the bootloader,the old way,power off the phone then power on holding the volume rocker in the down position.
Just get latest ota from the rom page rename to ph36img.zip and put on root of sd card and let it install. That will put it back to stock. Will still be s off but sprint doesn't usually check bootloader for security status in my experiences especially since it's a hardware issue

Its not ph36img.zip,its PC36IMG.zip.
It will stay on in recovery, I wiped everything, fixed permissions, and did a factory reset, but after booting, it won't even stay on long enough for boot animation to finish...It's acting like a hardware problem, but I think not since it's staying up in recovery...

Hey guys, gotta make this quick. As of lately, I unlocked my bootloader with the intentions of installing a different ROM. I've tried nearly every ROM (including the stock de/odexed ones) and nothing will stay on. With every flash I have done a FULL wipe and flashed correct boot.imgs, but still nothing more than being rebooted a minute after the ROM starts up. I need this phone to run again because I can't stand the loaner I have.
Did you do the OTA Update?

I suppose I can give it a go... but do you have any idea of what's making everything fail so horribly? Because honestly, HTC devices are a whole new ballpark to me.
the 3 ROMS whichu cant ignore are
CM10
AOKP JB
PACman ROM

He asked because the OTA update will cause exactly what you describe.
I would revert back to pre-OTA by running the RUU and then relock/reroot/rerom from there.

What he said. The OTA update will cause Custom roms and kernels not to boot. So the RUU will fix the problem.

Where would I find an Ubuntu-friendly RUU? My Win7 partition decided to s#!t the bed so I'm stuck running on Ubuntu 12.10 until I can get an external HDD to back up all of my Windows files. Thanks.
EDIT: If there is no "Ubuntu-friendly" version, does it atleast play nicely with Wine? This has become a pain in the tush and honestly, I'd just love to get this over with so I can have a functioning phone again. Not to mention get some of that JellyBean goodness.
EDIT #2: Nevermind! I figured it out and now it's all good in the hood.
Hi guys, brand new to the forum, member wise, but been using XDA site for years. Have had the Verizon HTC One since it was released in August and been patiently waiting for S-Off to be achievable. Awesome for Sonic buying a Java card and wish I could have sent mine to him but unfortunately did not have a backup phone to use.
I was wondering if someone could create a guide to complete S-Off with Beaup's mod? I don't want to brick my phone since it's the only one I have, so I figured this could be beneficial to everyone, not just me.
Thanks guys
If you follow his guide, it's pretty straight forward. It failed the first time for me because of either not having the stock kernel, or just a bad usb port, but that didn't brick my phone. It just didn't do anything. Tried it the second time and it worked like a charm.

Thanks man for clearing it up. Just kind of new to HTC in particular. First HTC phone. Was just kind of curious if I had to worry about anything different.
Im running nos sense but when i tried to go back to my backup of stock before root i got a md5 mismatch on cwm and so it wont backup to that. Does anybody know where i can get the stock rom to be able to run the s-off method. thanks

You should be able to flash one of the stock based roms and make sure you have the stock kernel.

Oh ok cool. Would nos sense work or do I need to use like Andy's bonestock rom?
I took the 4.3 (I know, I know, never take an OTA).
I want to root and flash CM11, but there is no root method for 4.3 yet.
Anyone know if there is any way to root right now (flashing 4.2 firmware or something like that) or do I have to wait? If so, how long do you think?
Thanks!

Nothing yet. All we can do is wait and see. Since there are no updates about progress that I've found from those who've posted the patches, there is no good way to estimate how long, or even if, at this point.
I haven't ever tried it, but if you're S-ON and are on 4.3 will the phone block you from flashing the old 605.15 encrypted RUU?

Afraid so. Downgrading isn't possible.
were you s off before taking 4.3
If you were then you can get root back I did it using fastboot commands because adb will not seem to work for me after the update for me if you need some help let me know
If your s-off just flash a custom recovery and superuser apk

Assuming you are unlocked then yes you can get root again.

Yup, you gotta wait until rumrunner (most likely) gets updated.

Alright, hopefully it's not too far off. Can't wait for some AOSP Kit Kat?

I'm in the exact same boat, friend. Never really saw a need to unlock or root prior to the OTA but now I'm having serious battery issues, mainly the phone radio using over 50% of my battery daily. I've been googling so hard I've almost broken my internets, but can't seem to find anyway to downgrade to use rum runner. I'm just dealing with it and hoping beaups and the other devs find a way to get us unlocked. Until then I'll wait patiently with my portable charger on hand lol.

What he is saying is that if you used rumrunner or sent it in to gain S-OFF, all you would have to do is download the superuser zip file and in TWRP flash the superuser file. When you reboot you might need to update the binaries but that would do it.
Gained root again on my device after taking the 4.3 update.

Oh dang I never finished reading the thread and saw the question was answered. =)

Has anyone tried taking the .15 encrypted RUU after taking the 4.3 update who is NOT rooted? I need to send my phone in for camera pink tint and am worried they will update it to 4.3 after returning to stock.

No, it won't work, it prevents your from downgrading, as HTC software has always done.
If I had a locked device, there are a couple things I would try to see if I could make it work.
Likely they wouldn't though, and I'd hate to get anyone's hopes up or send them down an unsuccessful path.
Bottomline being, there is currently no way to unlock, or to downgrade from a locked 4.3 device, to achieve an unlock.

Oh yeah I've been trying. I tried multiple downloads from multiple sources but they all hang up at the checking main version action and then fail. It's pretty much just playing the waiting game for rum runner and attempting patience. I'm not too hopeful for anything in the next few weeks since everyone has been busy with Christmas and such and New Years coming up. But if it can be done, the devs on here will do it.
Hello everyone,
I was wondering is there a easy way to go back to stock? I am getting the M8 today from Rogers and was wondering if I mod it is there a firmware file I can just flash to return back to stock? (like how the N5 has Factory Files) First HTC ever and im really excited just want to be prepared when modding it. How should I back up the firmware? are there stock files for rogers etc..etc.....
Thanks!
