OK....long story short...finally decided to delve into rooting and custom roms. Flashed CM6 yesterday and everything was going great. Then suddenly yesterday evening as I was swiping between home screens on my device everything froze, and I have been trying to recover ever since.
Anything I flash now just freezes, and i have a touch panel-fail so even when i do get a rom to boot i cant actually get into set it to usb mode or anything.
using bootloader i can not get it to connect using the adb driver so that I can push via adb.
about an hour ago I was successfully able to run the latest RUU and it ran successfully, but device is still way laggy (takes 15 minutes to boot) and no touch screen.
Any help would be greatly appreciated!!! don't know where to go from here. From what I have read its not bricked because I can get into Bootloader and Recovery???
Just a shot in the dark here, but it sounds like since you're stock now it's an actual hardware failure.

Is there way I can verify that the RUU did indeed flash *EVERYTHING* back to stock?
It seen like you have a HARDWARE issues, Re-Boot the Stock Rom. Call Sprint and explain what's going on with your phone, please *DO NO'T MENTION YOU ROOTED YOUR PHONE* Tell them you try to wipe your phone and it was really laggy before you wipe, since you gonna Re-Boot the stock rom the phone is going to get UNROOTED, I know this cause I work at Sprint... So good luck...

I definitely wont rule out hardware issues...this is a refurb device i just swapped my original EVO for on Monday. I guess I just want to rule out any software issues for sure.
You mention that re-booting the stock rom will UNROOT the phone...however I hav no way to currently re-boot the rom??
Also looks like i can not get into recovery now, when I select the option in the bootloader it just takes me to the screen with a picture of a device and a red triangle

Get a Memory Card adapter for PC or use anything that will let you connect your SD card to your computer... As soon as you put the *ORIGINAL STOCK ROM* in your SD card your phone will do everything by itself...

ok, going to try this now...
I assume I need to load it onto my sd card as the pc36IMG.zip so that i can load it from the bootloader?
you got it...just put it on the root of sdcard and good luck.

OK, so I loaded this ROM: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=874091 onto my sd card as PC36IMG.zip
It loads the zip then says parsing for about 1 second then just reverts back to the HBOOT option ???
Doesn't ask me if i want to install????
Looks like I grabbed only the OTA update rom that was posted on that page. I am going to try the odexed version on this page: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=874251

I think so, on the bootloader it still shows "S-off" ...doesn't that indicate it is still unlocked?
OK, so I was able to flash the file in the bootloader. It looks like it won't load past the 'HTC EVO 4g' splash screen.
ARGGGGGGGGGGGGGG!!!!!!!!!!!!

yeah, as far as i can tell. It said it completed and gave me the option to press the power button to reboot.
It did finally load up...after about 15 minutes, but touchscreen is still erroring out and not funtional.
Okay, so im running kingsrom unleashed 4g, and its great i love it. Tired to flash another rom today, elite III. Preformed backup, flashed format_all zip first then was gonna flash elite III next like it states. But now after flashing format_all zip it restarted the phone and now its back to kingrom and its in safe mood. For some odd reason its not letting me load into bootloader so i can flash the next step. And whats really ticking me off is that rommanager is not working. Ive installed and uninstalled countless times and it wont let me open. Does it have to due with being in safe mood. Please help me , need someone to fill me in. Thanks for you time.
I'm confused in regard to your post. Anyway, to get to the bootloader, power off your device. Now simultaneously press the DOWN volume button and the power button until your device starts. After a short pause, a few lines of text will scroll across the screen and then you'll be shown a set of options. Viola, you're at the bootloader screen.

Nothing at all. Then after mmm 45 seconds of holding it down i let go, it boots up, quickly too. Im not sure if its because of Kingsrom or what ( on the fast boot that is).
What about fastboot? (Vol up/Power)?
I'm no expert here, but I think you may want to try running the RUU form your PC if that doesn't work, go back to stock and start over. I'm sure someone will come up wit ha better option, but if it was me, that's what I would do.

Never a problem. And you can still use rom manager to fix permissions, if you get a whole bunch of force closes on apps for no reason.

I had it rooted using the 7.4 toolkit with an OTA update of JellyBean.
Edit: I did not flash anything yet...stock 4.1.1
Should I flash a ROM over it in recovery? such as AKOSP? Please Help I'm really stuck -.-

Not enough detail. What options did you choose for the device in the toolkit? Did you choose the correct one?
Rooting doesn't modify your ROM settings, so flashing another ROM probably will not make a difference.

Did unlocking the bootloader erase your phone to factory settings? If so, you had to setup your wifi from beginning, i.e. enter wifi password?
Is the wifi antenna turning on?

Thank you for your fast reply. Yes i erased everything through the beginning process. I skipped the wifi setup to enable usb debugging I believe. And the wifi attenna is not turnning on. I did leave the usb cable plugged in throughout the process of the Toolkit...not sure if that makes a difference...bc it says to take it out at some point.
Edit: the Wifi is on when I click on it...but when i try to connect to a network...it either doesnt do anything and stays there or keeps on saying connecting until it says disconnected
Bump. Please HELP. I CANT EVEN CALL MY MOM...i forgot her phone number -,-
Bump 2. Help! I tried everything...Please anyone?
Maybe you need the jellybean WiFi fix. There have been complaints of lost or weak WiFi.

If you're having problems with 4.1, why don't you try downgrading? Download something like AOKP milestone based on 4.0.1 and see if the issue disappears. Don't forget to do a full wipe (dalvik as well) in CWM.
well i do feel like having trouble with wifi after updated to 4.1.1 ... it loses signals completely where other devices say "fair signal" .. thats kinda bad about JB update .. i think it must've got to do something with the baseband version .. my original 4.0.4 had something else and now in JB its different ..
i remember about my previous HTC .. when it comes to bad performance of signals, wifi .. etc .... the Radio must be re flashed. ..
if anybody knows anything .. please guide us ...

Try a simple sim pull if you haven't already. Often times if you are stuck on 3g, a sim pull will enable LTE when you reboot the phone. on Verizon.

Hey Matt, I wonder if you can help me out. I flashed the GPE rom, it was working fine until i decided to edit the build prop. I changed the density value from 480 to 320. It worked but it was too tiny. Then i would readjust the value to 400 but upon restart the value wouldnt change. So i tried changing it back to 480 and saved it and directly went to reboot, not my phone refuses to load up. When i hold power and volume up the HTC logo screen comes up and then it turns back off, I cannot get into bootloader by pressing volume down and power. I am stumped. If you can assist me, id be sure to tip you some BTC your way.
Thank you in advance

I have an issue similar to this.
Phone gets to the HTC powered by android screen and then dies. I cannot access bootloader using vol down and power. It won't respond.
S-Off, unlocked boot loader.
Phone also periodically turns on by itself, then procedes to shut down after it gets to the HTC Powered by android splash screen.
EDIT:
Managed to get into recovery using the advice in this post:
Tikerz said:
When you plug it into the computer does the computer make a ding sound that it's connected? If so, then press power and volume up until the disconnect ding sound which indicates it's rebooting and then immediately press volume down and see if you can get into fastboot. The timing is tricky so I've found using audio cues from computer can help if the phone is messed up.

That's no problem and could happen to all of us. But some pointers from my point of view :
When i look at your O.P you give the tendency to look like a non profit company/organization which indeed offers a free service, that's all fine but please give the users the hint when it will be "offline" when you are on holiday or at least "offline" without a reason to stop the reactions users like me posted before. It looks like a 24 hour service promise which is not there.
I have been a helpful member on the hox section of xda the last 2 years and never had the need of such a thread/service. I think it won't make that major difference because users will always make new threads with their problems anyway.
This is not ment in a bad way, just my personal opinion !
Cheers.

Rooted and unlocked bootloader? What method?
Freegee likes to mess with the bluetooth. There should be a bluetooth fix flashable zip in the freegee thread for the ls970. I don't know if you can flash it on stock so make sure you read thoroughly.
Rooted yes, unlocked bootloader no. I rooted with fiddy619's batch file.
I'll take a look at their fix. As far as bluetooth suddenly breaking, is there anything that typically causes this or that I can look into? I've checked over all my settings, and none of my apps seem to be interfering (as far as I can tell), and I can't make sense of the logcat, so Idk what else to look at.

Freegee is to unlock the bootloader, if you're not unlocked and did not use freegee then you have no need for the fix. Do you have a recovery installed? What one?
you should definitely read this thread and maybe complete the process. There are tons of roms out there an as long as you follow the steps in this thread, you shouldn't mess anything up.

Regarding Freegee, I saw that after responding and then felt quote stupid. But I'll probably be doing that soon now so I can get a properly working phone.
Thanks for the suggestion, I'll probably be doing this tomorrow and will update the thread when I do.
For those still subscribed to this, I solved the problem. I am using SmartApp Locker, and in the Settings menu under System Lock I had Bluetooth checked. This should only have been locked when the app locking service was turned on, but it was interfering with all usage of bluetooth with the app lock service on or off.
