How are you flashing the boot.img? The reason CandyKat wouldn't boot is because your recovery version is outdated, upgrade to 2.7.1.0 and you'll be fine.

I was flashing via fastboot. I upgraded to twrp 2.7.1 and reflashed candyKat, now it gets past the htc screen but is just a black screen with nothing on it. Any help would be appreciated. I wiped/factory reset before i installed CandyKat.

strange it is not working. I even fully drained my battery and charged it to 100%, but it still says battery too low.

I ran fastboot getvar all, and here are what I got

version bootloader 2.18
version baseband 1.35a.32.45.27
version main: 5.18.502.1
battery status: good

Judging by that information you're already on the 5.18 firmware.

Oh. That makes sense I suppose (although I'm still not getting the battery error).

I was planning on trading this phone to amazon for a gift card, so I can upgrade. Guess return it to stock is not possible through the RUU method.

Thanks Timmaaa

Stupid question incoming!

I'm setting up an old One XL as a spare handset. I'm 95% sure that at one point I had a ROM installed on it that allowed for switch-able user profiles which could be locked down to certain functions and apps on the phone. Was thinking CarbonROM but that appears long gone for this device so not sure to confirm.

Ie device configured with my main google account, apps installed.
Create user profile called "others" which is limited to using Maps, Chrome and Phone but not being able to open my gmail or any other unapproved app. That user cannot switch profiles without knowing the PIN of the main user/profile.

Hope that makes sense.

Starting to think I've made it all up! It's not in latest CM11 or PA. Nor KarbonKat (couldn't find a download of the last official CarbonROM). Will try a PAC later but more than likely just give up lol.

Latest PAC nightly didn't have the users option. I was sure I'd set it up on a phone before, I know it's an option on my tablet.
In any case, found an xposed module that added the feature so problem solved :)

Hope u can see that & tell that whether there is some problem with this phone :(


Actually What Makes Me Doubtful About This Phone Is Its Screen,,,First I Cannot Open Last_ksmg to check which screen it is because it doesnt open it simply says cannot open last_ksmg,it maybe because i am unrooted and running sense 5.0 stock 4.2.2,The Screen Is Awesome In Terms Of Brightness But No Way Near Good In Terms Of Contrast And Clarity In Videos,Pictures and icons :( they are a bit like washed out colours

    The n00b Friendly Evita Q&A Thread!​
    [/SIZE]

    [SIZE=+1]Why?[/SIZE]

    OK, I noticed we don't have anything like this in our Evita forum so I've created this thread as a safe place for new members to ask questions.

    If you're a new member you probably have a bunch of questions, this is a place for you to come and ask anything you want to without fear of persecution.

    Even if you're not a new member, please feel free if there's something you want to know.

    I'd also like to encourage some of our valuable knowledgeable members to help out with answering some questions here.

    [SIZE=+1] What You Need To Do[/SIZE]

    All I ask is that you search properly before posting, it is in our rules after all. It's more than likely the questions you want to ask have already been asked and answered before, it's just a matter of finding them. The Evita FAQ thread would be a good place to start. Also, this thread is at a point now where I've covered pretty much any question you could think of asking, so please use the search feature to find your answer because I can almost guarantee it exists here already. If you've searched thoroughly and can't find the answer, or if you don't understand the answer, please go ahead and post here. Please provide the following information if you're going to ask a question:

    -The model of your phone (at&t, Telstra, Rogers etc).
    -Your bootloader details (the first five lines).
    -Your current ROM/kernel.
    -Your current recovery.
    -All events that lead to your current situation.
    -What you've tried already (detail please, don't say "I've tried everything").
    -Anything else that's relevant.​

    Please don't ask which ROM is best/most stable/fastest/prettiest/can eat the most hot dogs. No matter which way you word it, the question is not allowed. To say one ROM is better infers that others are inferior in some way. This is disrespectful to the devs who spend their spare time bringing us these ROMs free of charge. Each user has their own taste anyway so there is no best ROM. Check out the available ROMs and flash a few, you'll find out pretty quickly which one is best for you, plus that's half the fun anyway.

    [SIZE=+1]FAQ[/SIZE]

    For frequently asked questions please see the FAQ thread here:

    http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=2136172

    There is a great deal of very useful information in this thread so I'd suggest having a read there before posting in here. If there's a question that hasn't been asked there, or if you don't quite understand one of the answers please feel free to ask here.

    I have a very quick questions.

    Will the modified TWRP version that, in my understanding, is made to flash KitKat ROMs also flash Sense 5 ROMs?

    Many thanks!!

    I restored back a sense 5 rom with no problems at all, using a 2.6.3 modified twrp for kk roms.

    I have question for you, while I'm sitting here waiting out the RUU process...

    Once the RUU has run, and hopefully successfully updated my firmware, does it delete everything on my phone?

    I know I have to reflash my recovery at that point, but will I still have root, and will my currently loaded ROM still be installed or do I need to install a new ROM right after I install my recovery?

    Also, does the RUU process delete the contents of my SD card?

    Well I found out that it doesn't,

    I just finished updating the RUU and I am now on Bootloader 3.18/Hboot 2.14 w/S-off. It feels good.

    I just installed my first KitKat ROM, and of course the wifi is broken on the latest (Beanstalk) so I just installed the previous version, so now I'm up and running.

    Thanks to everyone who assisted in getting me back up to speed with flashing ROMS, etc... Especially Timmaaa! I've learned so much in the last 2-3 days just trying to get this device back up to speed.
