[Q] Can't flash ROM

[ChrisSilva83]

I have an Evo LTE I used the RUU to get to 4.3 sense 5. I unlocked with htcdev and I used rumrunner to s off. But when I try to flash a rom it sticks at the white screen with htc and red writing under. I relocked and used the RUU to get the phone back. I'll post a pic of the bootloader screen when I can. right now it says - relocked, jewel pvt ship soff rl, cid-spcs_001, hboot-2.10.0000, radio-1.13.11.1105, opendsp-v33.1.0.45.1128, emmc-boot. I tried cm12, dirty unicorn and another I don't remember the name of. any ides on what the problem or solution might be. I've haad a few android phones now, but I guess I haven't gotten it completely down yet.

This is what it looks like when I try to flash.

I got slimkat to install. I wanted to check out lollipop, but I think I might go back to 4.3 or sense 5.5. If anyone has any ideas though, I would still like to give cm12 a try.

You're using the wrong version of TWRP. Updating your device to Android 4.3 changed the partition layout which the official TWRP hasn't accounted for. You need to use Captain Throwbacks TWRP (Post 3): http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2639180

I wasn't sure on this. CWM touch didn't work, twrp seems to work ok and when I searched for capn's twrp, the thread I found said that the newer versions of twrp are ok to use. thank you though, I wasn't sure when I'd get a response. I'm liking the sense 5.5, but I do like trying different roms. I used carbon 4.4 on my atrix hd.

do you happen toknow if i can turn off blinkfeed on sense 5.5 rom?

According to Captain Throwback the official version of TWRP works fine on the new partition layout.

That's where I'm confused. Because several thread for rims say to use captain throwback's twrp and he says the new one works. As far as I know the one I have is the newest, but I can't flash any lo rims I tried and one that was jb or kk. But I did get Zionist to install and another kk Rom. I am currently using sense 5.5 and may just stay with it since I can't seem to get much to work. Any suggestions for a good sense Rom? And is there a working sense 6 Rom, I saw a few things that say there is, but all of them I see have no service or camera.

And thanks again everyone.

My twrp was 2.8.3.0. I switched to capt throwbacks and was able to install cm12. not sure why.

InsertCoin port in original section is a fully working sense 6 port. It was my daily until I got my m8

i have his same problem and screen. i flashed newest cptb twrp, and it cant mount /data. i tried like all 4 of his recoveries and it cant mount data, so i cant flash any rom. the newest twrp cptb just goes on and off and on and off... the older ones will at least boot, but i cant flash anything.

to explain a bit more, it fails even when i try factory reset in bootloader or a working twrp.
