Do you mind telling me which Blackout Apps that you flashed? I will try to replicate the issue.

On another note, I'm not sure why you lost root. I flash SuperSU before the first boot of any rom that I flash nowadays. Might not be necessary, but it takes 2-3 more seconds to flash, versus booting into Android and realizing that it isn't there.

Lastly, have you updated your SuperSU app through the play store, or did you flash the latest version (v1.94, I think)?

aarsyl,
Following up with you on this issue. Did you notice any issue with your tests? I'm running TWRP 2.7.0.4b that's posted in Cap's 4.3 thread. I'll check the FAQ and see if there is another recommended version.

Thanks for the time and help.
Sorry it took so long for me to get back with you, just got back into town.

I just have a quick question, and I'm going to post this over in the Q&A in case this is the wrong place. if it is the wrong place I apologize and it can be ignored here. Am I able to just run the 4.13.651.3 firmware/recovery out the box or do I have to root it first then go through all of that? I am about to head to the sprint store to replace my EVO, the power button is giving me issues along with the sd card. sometimes it reads the card sometimes it doesn't.

Thanks,

Nate

Wrong thread but I'm happy to answer your question. You can run the RUU, which will put you back stock, with the stock recovery. If you're S-off you'll retain S-off, but your bootloader will be relocked. Honestly, though, your issue sounds like it's hardware related and not due to you being rooted. It shouldn't be an issue to take it in as-in, but if you want to play it safe, run the RUU. Keep in mind that the bootloader will still show tampered and relocked once you run the RUU.

I posted in this thread because I had this ROM V4 on my phone, before the sd and power button issue. I have swapped the phone with sprint and now I'm back to an out of the box completely stock. I am completely stock out the box. I want to out V4 back on this phone but I'm wondering if I have to go through the whole root process then the firmware/recovery. Or if I could just run the firmware/recovery from Chubz OP thread. Thanks for your time FinZ28

You'll need to run the RUU for the 4.13 update. The link to the RUU can be found in the top link in my sig at the bottom of the first post. After you run the RUU, you can use HTC Dev to unlock, then install a custom recovery, flash SuperSU and flash V4. You'll want to S-off with Firewater or Rumrunner, otherwise you'll have to flash the kernel with fastboot prior to flashing the ROM.

Hey Fin, Sorry to bother you again with probably another dumb question, I really need to get my computer programming skills back up. Anyway just checking to see if the link you were talking about says ROM thread "click Here"? Also you said to run RUU, then DEV unlock, then install custom recovery. The link, after clicking your link, is the 4.13 firmware/recovery. So that already has a recovery for me right? SO after DEV unlock will I still need to install a recovery? One last thing I'm pretty sure from DEV unlocking before there when you select a device to unlock the EVO 4G LTE isn't there, so I just choose "all other supported phones"? Thanks again for your help

I'll let Fin confirm, but if the link he gave you is a RUU (self-installing exe from HTC) then it will not include a custom recovery. And yes, you need to choose the "all other" option on HTCdev.

This is correct:thumbup:

The recovery included in the RUU is the stock Android system recovery. You obviously don't want that, so you'll need to install a custom recovery once you unlock again.

I'm not sure what link or RUU you were looking at, as there is no mention of firmware/recovery in the link I was referring to, so here is a direct link to the 4.13 RUU below:

Sorry for the newb questions.

I'm trying to get the Camera.apk to open in HD recording so that I don't have to change it each time I open the app (records in MMS by default).
@Captain_Throwback suggested replacing the apk with the sense 5 camera. I changed the stock apk to .bak, placed the sense 5 apk in system/app, set permissions to rw-r-r, and rebooted after wiping cache, but it still records in MMS by default with no Zoe. I went back to the stock camera apk, but now I lost Zoe.
Also what is cameraworks.apk? Does it need to be changed?

Looking for help on getting the stock camera app (with Zoe) to record in HD by default. If that's not possible, then what am I doing wrong when replacing the app with the sense 5 camera apk? TIA

Is there any way that I can make in do the ##72786# thing and regain signal without me having to physically notice it then do it? This is the only thing that's keeping me from running sense 5.5 instead of cm11 as my regular
