Root TWRP CM10 Bootloop, No backup.

[Sexytime]

Hi everyone

I have recently rooted, unlocked, and installed TWRP on my Evo LTE.

Unfortunately I think I may have taken for granted that my Google Wallet reset was sufficient from the rooting process since I didn't enter in any new data before trying to flash CM10.

I am getting a bootloop, I am able to get to TWRP but the backup seems to have failed as there isn't one to restore to.

Any help would be very much appreciated.

First off welcome to the forums, i wish you joining was under better circumstances

I would just try to perform a factory reset, it could get you out of this boot loop issue.

Thank you for the fast response and the welcome!

Is that the factory reset option in the white HTC screen you get when you hold the power and volume buttons?

Did you perform an s-off when you rooted?

If not, did install the kernel separately?

Let's please look at the whole situation before trying a factory data reset.

Welcome to the forums!

No I didn't do S OFF.

The only things I did were root/unlock using RegawMOD, transfer CM10 and Gapps to the SD card, flash them in that order, reboot.

Ok, probably what you have at this point is a kernel/rom mismatch.

Rom zip packages contain a kernel but when you're s-on that won't flash through recovery (twrp), you need to fastboot flash that.

The $64 question - did you enable usb debugging before this?

 

[Sexytime]

Yes USB debugging was enabled throughout the entire process of rooting and flashing.

Perfect, stand by...

Wow...

I really can't thank you enough. Honestly I am really overwhelmed by your generosity to take the time out to help me with this.

Thank you so much.

Anytime.

My secret is that I just let Rxpert do all of the work and then just point to it.

Glad you're all set.

Thank you so much.

We've all been where you were, and its not a fun feeling having your $500+ piece of tech not working. I'm glad that solved your issue

The truth here is, you found two of the best folks around to help ya out. Rx and Early, along with a couple others, have help me any number of times, either directly or through the VERY detailed walk-throughs they've been kind enough to put up for us.
Good luck and stick around, as long as your rooted, the fun is just beginning!
