Since some people were interested I've made a stock update zip from the RUU_Hero_C_Sprint_2.20.651.1_signed_test.exe so you can flash via recovery.
This is just for those who want a completely stock rom to work off of or those that can't or don't want to run the RUU. If you want something already tweaked then use DamageControl. I'm not trying to start a custom rom I just did this for a couple people that wanted it.
It does not include the new hboot or radio.img included in the RUU and the system is stock except for adding busybox, patched su and sh.
To use su you need to install Superuser.apk.
Busybox is not installed by default you can do that through a terminal app or adb executing su and running "busybox --install /system/xbin".
You must be rooted and flash via Amon_ra recovery. Recommend nandroid backup and wipe/factory reset before flashing.
Here is a link to my post on how to make an update zip from the RUU.
Download link for the update/rom:

The link might be down since dropbox just suspended my public links due to excessive traffic.

This is a link to my google code site where i put up some of the binaries/scripts that I use for rom making. These are linux binaries. If you download them put them in your path so you can execute them from anywhere. Also make sure you chmod them to executable. If you don't know how the google can tell you.

Due to recent events I just want to say that the devs here put a lot of work into getting you guys these leaked roms. They risk their credibility and their sources risk their jobs. So have some respect and remember it's just a phone.
Thank you,I'm sure a lot of people were wanting this.
What is the point of making a zip when you can just use the RUU?
My RUU just got done booting!

For people not running windows and for people that don't want to risk flashing hboot or the radio.img.
See I did not know it came with the radio image!
Just booted up fine and got the new radio image and a knew PRI# and was able to update my PRL as well!
Zenulator: heh I'm working on a rom I titled Zendroid... wonder if people will confuse it as being something related to you.

Yea I thought that was kind of funny. Nice name for a rom though
yeah well, I thought it had a nicer ring to it than fengshuidroid.... was going for a rom which was also centered around a nice clean theme to the sense ui. I'm still making headway on the project.

how can i load the recovery image ?
The phone is rooted but just wont take the revory image
Now this might be a stupid question, but do we need Root for this? I have a friend who's terrified of Rooting but really wants 2.1, so could he just Flash this through the Stock Recovery Image, or should I force him to Root?
Edit: NVM sorry I just read the 1st post on page 2. Told you it was a stupid question.
It seems like the flash_image command is missing.

No. It flashes back to stock DI07 and does not touch recovery. I believe this is to give you a clean slate before flashing ROMs or a quick fix for when somthing goes wrong flashing zips.

It means you have to already have the DI07 update installed first because it only flashes the system, not the modem/phone or data.
updated!!!
http://firon.net/xda/SPH-D700-modem.DI07.update-signed.zip
Here's a modem updater. You need clockwork to flash this. Rename to update.zip and copy it to the root of your sd card.
This will update your modem/baseband from DG27 to DI07.
It will not check your phone's version, but it will at least make sure using it you're on the right phone model.
It will NOT overwrite root, your kernel, or anything else. It only touches the modem.
any chance of the original epic Rom? the one that came with the phone prior to DI07? i used Oden to rever to stock and then applied the update (DI07) but Android Market is not working (i'm guessing corupt (g)Talk file).
Data Wipe + Clear Cache did not seem to help when in clockrecovery, the android market wont let me download anything
noob, would you mind posting a copy of the DG27 modem.bin file? Some of us are having issues with Bluetooth audio and I wanted to see if reverting the baseband would solve it.
Awesome, noobnl you rock. Now i'm gonna really start messin with this phone

Hello all I'am new hear & i'm sure this is a noob Q but if my phone is rooted & has DG27 on it can i use Clockworkmod to flash this stock.epic.DI18.rom.update.zip to update it?
The Older Build .zip file is busted i downloaded it two times & both times winrar says
Code:
! D:\net down\stock.epic.DI07.rom.update.build2.zip: Unexpected end of archive
Clockwork also said the file was no good
My question is can i update my phone from DG27 to DI18 with the first file in the OP? & then use "update-modemtoDI18.signed.zip(from post #14)" I was reading things about having to up date to DI07 before going to DI18 also if any one would be kind enough to point me to the right files & stuff to get my phone updated. I have been on this forum & a few others for about 4 hours now and i can't seem to find an answer

Yes.
you won't lose clockwork recovery but you might lose root.
if you lose root access, you simply need to re-root or flash a new kernel.
He just needs to flash a rooted kernel and that's it. Just in case.

Glad you got it working. To answer the question about .txt on the phone, others have reported that using a different browser works for downloading the .img file correctly. I think they used Dolphin browser from the market.
I tried method 2 and method 3 above without success. Trying to go from 2.5.0.1 to 3.0.0.5. Attempts to boot into recovery and then reboots again and boots normally. Suggestions?
Try the ADB method?

don't flash the 3.0.0.5, you don't need it for GB. the reason I think people have been having so much trouble is that the recovery is overclocked, so some phones can't handle it. same thing goes for the GB rom, if it loops and hangs etc., just flash a capped 691 kernel after the rom and gapps, it *should* work.
OK NOW - TO ALL FUTURE POSTS - PLEASE DON'T, LOL.
AOSP MADE THIS RECOVERY AND IS CONSTANTLY UPDATING IT
3.0.0.5 CAN BE FOUND IN THE 2.3 GINGERBREAD THREAD
INSTALL METHODS CAN BE FOUND ON THE THREAD "READ ME" WIKI,

Method III worked fine for me. Just follow instructions carefully, and don't forget to do "su" first (lets terminal use root privileges).
I'm curious why RomManager doesn't update the version number. I know I'm using 3.0.0.5 because of the new orange text, but RomManager still shows 2.5.0.1
Anyone?

I am new to this posting and asking questions. I have a xoom and rooted it and updated it with 3.1 and then I went and updated it with the new rom which came out the other day. I did something studpid and didn't wait for the resolution to the sdcard not being seen after flashing the new deodex rom. I looked on the kernal manager and when I what I thought was the latest kernal I decided to flash it. I now can only get to recovery mode and I don't want to make another mistake. Can someone tell me if I can safely do a wipe data/factory reset? Will that get me back so I can flash the deodex rom back? You dev guys are really awesome and I really appreciate all of your work. Thank you for your support.

If you can get to recovery, just re-flash the rom, it includes its own kernel.
Ok I will and let you know if I am successful. Thank you
I tried to use recovery but my xoom won't see the sd card. I have adb running but really am afraid to use it without some help. Don't want to brick my xoom. I have the kernal zip but don't 1.4.4 and thought if I could flash the kernal to my xoom that would maybe fix it. I read somewhere that you shouldn't flash a zip file, so I don't know what to do. any help would be appreciated. Thank you

Please don't flash any xip file through adb! Why not go into RomManager app and look for an earlier version of recovery, maybe 3.0.2.5, and flash that. A good recovery should allow you to flash from your sdcard through clockwork mod recovery.
I can't get to the rom manager app. Am I missing something? The OS won't boot up and I only have version 4 of the clockwork recovery. What should I do?

OK, Thank you very much,,, I will be more careful in the future. I am back up and running the new rom with an older recovery. That taught me a good lesson never to install an earlier version of a kernal and never to try and flash a .zip file from adb. Thank you for the instructions. Is there a book for "adb for dummies"?

There is actually an ADB tutorial somewhere on this site...seriously, do a search. It had a lot of great information. I like to know what I'm doing...it makes me more nervous to just blindly follow instructions with something like this, but I'm still mostly blind (sigh).
Hi all,
Apology if this questions may already been ask millions of time but I am really stucked at the moment and hoping that someone may guide me to the correct direction.
I have got HTC One X-LTE (Evita)
I managed to get S-OFF and also CID - 111111
It has TWRP 2.6
The last time I got it working was on the STOCK 4.2.2 I downloaded from the XDA - then I got into the issues of rebooting and loosing signal from time to time. so I went into my TWRP backup I had and reflashed it using my old backup made from my TWRP.
the reflashed failed and now I can only boot up to the HTC logo and then black screen.
I can get to the TWRP recovery and I have got fastboot and ADB on my PC.
When I run the fastboot devices command --> it shows device connected BUT when i try ADB command ---> no device is found.
It will be much appreciated if someone can guide me to the right direction as I am really stucked at the moment not sure where to start.
I tried searching in the forum but I don't think I went to the correct area/tutorial.
Please help
Thank you
When you made your twrp backup did you select system,data, and boot? If it's hanging at the HTC screen it seems there is not boot.img installed or one that is incompatible with your backup. Open whatever Rom your backup is made from and copy the boot.img to your fastboot directory. Then reboot the phone into fastboot mode and flash the boot.img using this command.
Fastboot flash boot boot.img
Then reboot the phone and see what happens

When looking at the TWRP backup I copied into my PC - does not have the .img - the one I can find is MD5
Can I use the existing ROM I donwload from XDA like : EVITA_UL_JB_50_S_TMO_DE_5.08.111.2_By_Turge.zip
when I extracted EVITA_UL_JB_50_S_TMO_DE_5.08.111.2_By_Turge.zip - I can see the "boot.img" can I use this one?

Hi Sandy
Thank you again for your help
I finally got my phone at least booting again.
What i did was I went to the fastboot and then correct to the PC and when it was asking for format the drive, I did format it (fingers crossed) and luckily it let me see the ROm I downloaded from the Stock 4.2.2 Turge version.
Now my problem is that the phone keeps rebooting.
I don;t know how to flash the kernel as suggested on the front page of the thread.
What is the most stable ROM at the moment?
I want to learn how to flash and fix this - I have kept reading post after post but I still can not get myself to where I want it to be which is fixing the reboot issue from the STOCK 4.2.2 Turge version.
I am a real newbie so I am not too familar with some of the fancy terms people use.
Any help is greatly appreciated.
Thanks again

Now my problem is that the phone keeps rebooting.
I don;t know how to flash the kernel as suggested on the front page of the thread.
What is the most stable ROM at the moment?
I want to learn how to flash and fix this - I have kept reading post after post but I still can not get myself to where I want it to be which is fixing the reboot issue from the STOCK 4.2.2 Turge version.
I am a real newbie so I am not too familar with some of the fancy terms people use.
Any help is greatly appreciated.
Thanks again

It sounds like it might be a bad download or something. I noticed u never mentioned wiping the phone before flashing, Are u clean wiping? And also what hboot are you on?

You can either flash the kernel, which can be found in the Android Development section, flashing the kernel is just like flashing a ROM, just install in Beastmode. Or you can upgrade your firmware to 2.15, the instructions are I'm the first post of the ROM thread.
Asking which ROM is best/favorite/most stable is against the rules so we can't answer that question.
When you say the phone keeps rebooting, does it ever make it into the OS or is it boot looping (showing the boot animation then starting over)?

Thanks for the reply
When you said that flashing kernel is the same as flashing ROM, I did it By going to TWRP and the press install and locate the zip file. Is this what should be done?
What is beast mode?
Sorry for the basic questions
Thanks
Yeah that's how you install the kernel. It must be done after you install the ROM. I kinda worded my reply a bit weird, sorry about that. Beastmode is the name of the kernel, you can find it here:

I did try to flash it through recovery but it always failed. Not sure why. I copied the kernel zip file into my phone sd and then I went to recovery and press the install and located the kernel zip file but still failed.

Which recovery version are you using?
Sent from my Evita
Recovery is 2.6.3.
The process failed on not able to fine the MD5 file or something like that. We don't need to extract the Zip file do we?
Cheers
Disable md5 checking in settings. You never need to extract a kernel or ROM zip.

I have checked the setting in TWRP and nothing is ticked.
When I flash the zip, it is still saying "failed due to md5 does not exists".
I am not sure which should be address first but I now noticed that there is an error : "unable to locate storage device"
also came out.
When I plug my phone to PC I can see the storage but why it is saying "storage device not found" in TWRP?
Thanks
