What is the correct PRI version with the 1.47.651.1 firmware? I have 1.34_003, but I've seen some people posting they have 1.40_003. I'm wondering if there is any difference in the "first" and "second" updates that people are downloading? Is it hardware version related? My hardware version is 0002. My PRL is 60667.
I have hardware version 0002 as well, and show PRI 1.40_003, with PRL of 60665.
Interesting that it's a little different out there.
I am 002 hardware with 1.40.003 and prl ending in 667.

Anyone have any input on the difference in the two PRI versions?
I am also... 002 hardware with 1.40.003 and prl ending in 667.
i originally had the 1.40.003 on my stock rom..but after rooting and unlocking nand..it got downgraded to 1.34.003. Currently there is no way to manually update the PRI. It has to be built into the rom according to toastcfg post here: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=6845492&postcount=75
Interesting... Wonder why people with the same hardware revision and firmware have different version PRIs...

From my understanding the PRI 1.40_003 is for stock or Stock Root and the PRI 1.34_003 was part of the downgrade to be able to unlock the NAND protection even though it does not directly relate to it.

Interesting theory! Sprint would be able to tell if the phone had been previously rooted if this is true!

yes the stock rom has the 1.40 and the nand unlock rom has the older 1.34

Does anyone know the difference of these two versions? Someone said it's the Primary Roaming Index, will it affect the performance of the phone itself? I've searched this forum and no one has answered this question before.
I have part-2 root and using stock rooted .6 rom, deleted some system apps myself, and applied the rooted OTA update, i can still use all the features of the phone like 3G-4G, (I noticed it was harder to get a 4G connection since OTA update) but don't know if they are faster or slower than stock, can anyone share some insight?
Is there a way to back out of part-2 root to get the 1.40_003 to test out?
I just posted a somewhat similar question in the Q&A section. I have updated everything (PRL, baseband, wimax, etc.) EXCEPT PRI version. I'm also wondering if updating it is necessary or beneficial. If anyone knows, I hope they let us know.
thanks.

I believe PRI is Primary Rate Interface and it has to do with the network connection
Been trying to get my PRI back to stock but it doesn't seem possible, flashed my phone back to stock with the RUU then did OTA's up to 1.47 but my PRI is stuck at 1.34 it won't update. My reception and 3g was awesome before rooting and I suspect the PRI is to blame with my spotty 3g now. I also can't seem to get a 4g signal where others are saying they see 4g. I have a new phone coming. Will compare them side by side to see in a few days and update the post.
any luck with this? my pri version is also stuck at 1.34. i did the radio update as well.
"The PRI contains the settings for the various configuration items on the handset that may be network specific but not necessarily subscription specific, such as standard CDMA channels, slot cycle index, default PRL, etc."
http://www.cdg.org/resources/white_papers/files/cdma frequently asked questions by gemplus.pdf
I am almost positive if you want to go back to the stock PRI you can do a master reset but you need the MSL to do so. Well at least this was the way with the Hero.
Here is the link for the Hero. I am not sure that this will work but its worth a try.

Hrshycro,
by default Fresh .5.3 does not provide the 2.05 baseband. so you may have done something similar to me. my software versions are the same http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?p=7011250#post7011250
All is working well on my device. 4G is fine (still a bit of a battery hog tho)
there is a post in the development forum that better explains it, but essentially the PRI is part of the HBOOT.
If you have flashed the engineering HBOOT then your PRI will be the 1.34_003, this is what lets you keep your full root/nand unlocked.
If you have the original OEM un-rooted HBOOT, then you will have the 1.40 PRI and thus the locked HBOOT/nand.
IF or UNTIL the HBOOT gets separate from the PRI, you will have to stay with PRI 1.34 if you want to keep your ROOT.
If you really want or have to go back to 1.40, you should be able to flash the OEM RUU which should set everything back to stock and un-rooted. Not currently possible to go back to 1.40 PRI.

There is no known way. And this is the wrong forum.

we have a research thread here, buried very deep which was the last place we posted work that ive seen on updating the PRI. seems there are two image, nv.img and rcdata.img that effect this.
if you are feeling adventurious, read thru the thread and attempt to find a working solution but be warned, def could brick your EVO as nobody has confirmed updating a PRI.

Thank you, you just may be my hero for today, we will see.
Thanks, someone tried it and said it doesn't change the PRI back to 1.40_003 from 1.34_003.
There must be something in the second root that permanently changes the PRI.
Yes I searched for this but got lost...sorry!
So I unrooted my EVO to prepare for the upcoming froyo update. PRI is the 1.3 one...am I just hoping that it upgrades the PRI to 1.4 or should I wait to install froyo until PRI FIX!
A better question is why the f%$^ would you unroot your phone?
this doesnt belong in the dev forum however. Currently there is no known way to fix your PRI. Including updating to froyo at least the version floating around now.
not sure why you would unroot your phone you can already put a root friendly version of froyo on your phone so no need to wait.
Thanks for the input. Not sure why this would not belong here when rooting is the PRI culprit to start with? Anyways I unrooted simply because after experimenting...it is just not for me. I don't feel any further justification is needed. My question was a simple one for a true developer I thought. I guess I will just update the OTA FROYO and cross my fingers?

Hey, I bet this would be better accepted over here:

Unrooted android = iPhone with smaller market and widgets, lol
Some suggestions for asking where your question should go:
- Where did you get the PRI/etc.? Maybe you should post in that thread.
- Since you're using a stock ROM and I'm sure you d/l'd it from somewhere, maybe you should post in that thread
- Your question might be best answered by a developer but it's not "development"
Just my 0.02c.
Seriously omegasun18 why would you unroot your ph, u should know it's only a matter of time when our good old buddies here post a custom rom base on the official update. You can go ahead and install/ update to 2.2 if you want. Am still rooted and running the stock 2.2, my PRI is 1.34_003, have not en-counted any issue at this point..

As far as I know, there is no downside to the 1.34 PRI compared to the one with the higher number.

You could simply wait for a rooted release to be given here. It will be the same rom, only you won't possibly be perma-****ed. You could give it a try, see if it updates the PRI, and if it doesn't then you could install the official OTA. Just realize, you could easily be closing the door to root forever and you have no way of knowing.

OTA v1.47 included PRI 1.40, as does OTA froyo. The newly released froyo does not update PRI beyond 1.40 which was included before in OTA 1.47.

If you are root you will have PRI 1.34. PERIOD. PRI is tied to HBOOT, and the only rooted HBOOT we have is the ENG HBOOT with PRI 1.34. I've you still have a hardon to change your PRI, the only way it's going to happen is if you are NOT ROOT.
As far as I know I am not rooted...HBOOT 0.79.0000...and connectbot denies adb permissions etc. The only change from stock is that PRI 1.3 which has my data transfer all whacked up...and very inconsistent. Some say the PRI has little weight in the Android scheme of things but on my end it does in a big way...
If infact you have to have 1.3 to root then I guess I am only left with taking my chance that the OTA updates the PRI to 1.4. I live in the area where hurricane Katrina busted us up and this may have a direct impact on why my particular setup runs better with the newer PRI.

This is incorrect. No update includes any PRI except for the eng-HBOOT. And the PRI included with it is 1.34. Check your facts, because someone follow you blindly.

Wrong again. Once you root using the eng-HBOOT you will have PRI 1.34, whether or not you are rooted. Sprint has not released the 1.40 PRI yet, and know one knows when they will. I pretty sure if the new 2.2 froyo update included PRI 1.40, everyone experiencing issues with PRI 1.34 would have found their solution.
So to sum it up. Once you have 1.34 you are stuck with 1.34, unless you return your phone or a dev gets someone in sprint to release the 1.40 PRI.

I had the same issue with 1.34, many on this forum and other forums have the same issue that you are reporting, but those that do not have the issue say that there is none. I would take back the phone, and since you will have 1.47 software when you get your new phone, only do unrevoked3 method or keep it stock.
When I had PRI 1.34 my speeds and connectivity was horrible 20Kbps to 90Kbps was on a good day. With my new phone and PRI 1.40 my speeds and connectivity are phenomenal with .96Mbps to 1.4Mbps on a bad day.

currently there is no way to upgrade the PRI. flashing the engineer build moves you to PRI 1.34 which right now is irreversible (including going back to unrooted). Hopefully in the future a way to update is found (likely when a RUU or OTA changes it) however till then we are stuck on 1.34
Well you can flash a zip hex edit it to say 1.40 for cosmetic purposes, but it will still be 1.34.
ok,what's the deal with the PRI?
Some are saying that 3g speeds is significantly faster on the 1.40 pri and also there are some who are afraid that having a 1.34 prl pretty much means the phone has been rooted. Not sure if it would be a problem for those who has warranty issues.

Hi everyone,
I know starting a new thread for an overused question is annoying but I really can't seem to find a confirming post.
My evo is rooted and the pri is 1.3. If I install the Stock RUU from sprint and then use the official updated version of android 2.2, would it update the pri to 1.4? I know I would lose root, maybe forever.
No it won't, their is no way currently to update the pri. All of the phones since release day came with the 1.40 pri, it has never been included in an OTA update or RUU. In other words, a pri update does not exist.
ahh thanks! Then can I ask, How did we get 1.34?

PRI 1.34_003 came as a result of rooting and installing the engineering bootloader.
Long first post:
I take over an EVO phone from my brother, which was rooted by his co-worker. He told me it was rooted, and flashed with a stock Sprint ROM (the phone still has all of the Sprint apps installed, and the interface looks exactly as the phone they display at Sprint stores). The phone has Android 2.1 (I assumed), and I have a popup stating that there is a System upgrade 1.32.651.6 (13.14 MB) FOTA.
My phone info:
Hardware version 0003
Firmware version 2.1-update1
Baseband version 1.39.00.05.31
Kernel version 2.6.29-a2443432
[email protected] #1
Build number 1.32.651.1 CL171253 release-keys
Software number 1.32.651.1
Browser version WebKit 3.1
PRI version 1.34_003
PRL version 60672
When I Hboot the phone (Power + Volumn down keys), I got:
Supersonic EVT-3 ENG S-OFF
HBOOT - 0.76.2000 (PC 3610000)
MICROP - 041f
Radio 1.39.00.05.31
Mar 30 2010
My question?
1. What do I need to do to upgrade my OS to Android 2.2?
2. What do I need to do, after upgrading the OS, to upgrade my Radio?
Please don't get me wrong. I read many posts in this forum. It seems like instructions for 2.1 were outdated, and I am not sure I should use newer instruction (intended for 2.2) on my phone. I don't really know which keywords to use to search for my case, hence this new thread is created.
I read this from the sticky thread, but when I read more on the link, ppl says "ROMs posted here update anything besides the OS itself. No radio/PRI/WiMAX updates at all." How do I upgrade my phone's OS?
I am getting an Over the Air (OTA) update from Sprint. Should I accept it if I am rooted?
No. Do not accept any Sprint OTA updates. If you are not using the latest update, check in the Android Development section. You must update to the latest ROOTED update by flashing it.

Your phone is rooted with the same "grandfather" method I rooted mine, except no has bothered to update it as new OTA's have come out. You already have root and the engineering SPL on your phone. All you need to do is download the 2.2 based rom of your choice, drop it in the root of your SD card, boot into recovery, wipe everything and flash it.
Do not accept any OTA's that your phone is prompting you do to, or you can break the root and make things more complicated.
Edit: The link below has all the latest radio, PRI, NV and Wimax software. You can flash these now, but note that there will be more added to this list as some or all of these are changing with the latest OTA update that is being pushed out by Sprint right now.
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=715485
step 1: download a deoxdexed version in this link: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=874251
step 2: flash that file to your phone by using this guide: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=831559
and then you are done
if you are rooted, NEVER accept OTA updates from sprint.
Thank you rugedraw for your help.
From your link, I did not see the OP stated anything about ROMs, kernels,... Can I assume that Radio, WiMAX, PRI & NV updates work for any versions of ROMs, kernels?
Thank you weaselp1. I bookmarked the links you posted.
