I had CM 10.2 on it, but wanted to make it work better for a wi-fi only device, responsive and useful.<\/p>\n<p>I updated TWRP no problem, looked into several ROMS and then updated HBoot to where I should be, then kept having Fastboot unable to locate my device \u00a0&#8230; adb no problem, but fastboot, plain just dispersed on me. Any way, short story, another TWRP and then ROM installed inside &#8230; weird stuff, let&#8217;s just say something wasn&#8217;t right. Ended up in a TWRP loop boot. No booting into recovery, and that was that, it just flashed on and off like that.<\/p>\n<p>My Dirty Racoon unlock was gone too, tampered and LOCKED &#8230; but still the solid S-off. Sigh. It was along time ago I worked on this device.<\/p>\n<p>So I finally got the last RUU for this device and was able to run it through (finally could get it on HBoot) and so since running the RUU, I HATE the phone, plus yes, fastboot and adb are not a problem in and of them.

Hours of headaches ugh.<\/p>\n<p>So now I&#8217;m running Dirty Unicorns on it., not sure I&#8217;ll keep it, but it&#8217;s pretty nice so far.<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>I&#8217;ve been trying to update my old HTC Evo LTE phone, which is now not serving us with a phone line number.
