Just thought I would let you guys know...and this is not a question...
I did the OTA froyo update over a previously rooted EVO...all went real smooth and the PRI stayed at 1.34. This may or may not be helpful but being the PRI changed during original rooting then the same process seems vulnerable now...at least from my novice glance.
those bastards. well, that settles it then.
I'll be "accidentally dropping" my Evo, and getting a fresh one.
here we go again

Whats the big deal with pri anyway,
Froyo isn't going to change the PRI anyways... I was hoping that HTC/Sprint would incorporate a new HBOOT... which would update everyone to the latest PRI.

yeah... i'd like to know that too actually.
For me, PRI seems to double my 3G data speed. It effects some more than others.
This post was directed to some of the developers that had concern about the 1.34 PRI and how it fell in place with the future rooting of the OTA Froyo. It was meant to be a heads up in that direction of development so where else should it have been put?
I personally had a big data transfer deficeit with 2.1 and the PRI 1.34. NOW all is well with 2.2 and PRI 1.34. SO no worries to the devs...
Ok this is a little off subject...but what is worse: *posting in wrong forum vs *post boosting a post in a wrong forum.....just curious.
uh, I'm still having a problem here

I have a thread on another forum asking basically the same question.
How to get back to PRI Version: 1.40_003 from PRI Version: 1.39_003 or get back to sprint stock 1.32.651.1 with PRI 1.34_003.
I really need to know how to do this, my 3G is getting the worst possible connection, around 40kbps per mobilespeedtest.com
Please anyone with the knowledge share.
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.
Hey all, just wondering if anyone has tried to see if they can root the OTA to Froyo. Not that I need it, but I figure there is bound to be people who do in the coming days (both from their own stupidity, and some from being absolutely new after the update). The PRI doesn't change, so I'm guessing that's got to be at least some good news. I have no idea what it might take to root it, or even what measures were included in the OTA to prevent rooting. Just wondering if anyone is working on it.
Also, does anyone know how we can change our PRI's? I used the Froyo flash without root and still have the old pre-1.40 PRI. Also, does the PRI have anything to do with the market not showing copy protected apps? If it does, then I may actually need root again... LOL. Anyways, just hoping someone is looking in to finding a new root method and perhaps figuring out PRI/market issues.

The OTA is rooted. Search the forums. PRI is tied to the ENG HBOOT, so you are stuck with 1.34 if you want to keep root.

Ditto thats what I think hes referring to as well. Hopefully the method doesn't include downgrading like before and then losing the PRI, but if it does we can get a way of extracting it this time.

If you don't want root, v1.47 OTA has PRI 1.40 in it's HBOOT, same as Froyo release floating around.

As far as the OTA being rooted, no it's is not.If you upgrade OTA you will NOT have root. The rooted froyo roms in the forums all use THE SAME ENG HBOOT, which means you will be stuck with PRI 1.34

My problem is that I already flashed the "unofficial" Froyo update that I got directly from HTC. It didn't update the PRI, and I don't think I can flash a downgraded ROM. I guess I can try, but most likely I'd have to use the RUU and the 1.47 RUU never works for me.

What is this PRI and what are the differences in the versions?
I'm already rooted but would like to go back to full stock so there is no way for me to get my pri back to 140 because others are saying when you unroot it stays at 134

Yeah...even going back to stock you will still have 1.34, unfortunately. You can hex edit it to say 1.40 but that is cosmetic only.
Sent from my PC36100 using Tapatalk
If the Froyo update really did wipe HBOOT, why didn't the PRI change? Maybe it didn't actually do anything to the HBOOT? If that's the case, maybe those who had full root can still gain root through the bootloader. Anyways, someone really needs to find a way to get our PRI upgraded. Its sad that even switching to stock won't fix it.
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?

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..

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.
