If you are like me, a previous rooter who updated to the OTA Froyo and still have PRI 1.34 then here it is...
I just ran the ##786# with my MSL for a reset and the PRI updated to 1.40!!! I am not sure why it did because initially a few days ago it did'nt but today I just decided to take a chance and WHAAALAAAA!!!! This by no means is an attempt to gain a bounty or nothing to that nature...keep your money and update if you want to the latest of everything including PRI!!!
YAAAAYAYAYAYAYAAAAAA.....uh...now I wait for froyo root.
You are right. I just did it, and it was at 1.40_003. I was at the previous PRI and was using .6 (not rooted of course). I did copy PC36IMG.zip from the post on unrevoked forever and tried to flash it (seemed to be unsucessful). But when I did the reset it was at 1.40_003. I used the original 2.2 RUU file to get from .3 to .6 too. Don't know what step worked.
Heck, who knows, maybe on the reset and during the update phase it pulled it down? All guesses now, but I am happy.
Only problem is I got so excited and posted it all over this place...I might get shot!!! LOL!!!
seriously? This was posted at like 4pm yesterday by Goonzy
Excuse me? This thread was directed to non-rooted users stuck with PRI 1.34. I stumbled across this prior to reading any of the goonzy for rooted thread. I make no claims of discovery as I have said in my original thread posted over there.

Ok, I decided to unroot to see if the PRI would go back to 1.4..I used the most recent RUU to unroot. I had to extract the RUU and rename the rom.zip to PC36IMG.zip push to sd and boot into the zip that way. Seemed to have success unrooting, but my PRI remained 1.34. Is there any way to get the PRI updated? If i found my MSL and did a factory reset would that work? Or think I can call sprint and play dumb and say I got a replacement from BestBuy and it has an older PRI than my first phone. Also will I get OTA's now? Think when Froyo is released it will update the PRI as well?
Thoughts?
Its been well known that unrooting does not give you back the 1.40 PRI version.
I don't see HTC/Sprint updating the PRI for FroYo but who knows... and yes now that you're unrooted, you will be able to get OTA updates again but on the same token, you're taking a gamble on never having root abilities again.
Man that sucks. I really feel my phone dosent perform like it did before root. Dont get me wrong, root has its perks but I would rather have my 3g speeds back.
I want to see some conclusive proof that the PRI is tied in with 3G speeds... I've yet to see it. In fact, my rooted Evo outperforms my friends' unrooted Evos most of the time by 50-100kbps...
The Evo just has a jacked up radio.
I unroot to factory stock 132.651.1 then i did automatically download until get 147.651.1. I did all updates and still PRI 134.003 and nothing. How i can fix to get 1.40?
Hey all,
Attention Read all before doing anything!
So I followed the ##786# and updated my PRI. Worked flawlessly, might need to do it a few times to work.
However my bootloader updated...and I could no longer ADB to my phone...So I re did my root, which restored me from 2.2 to 1.36..or which ever toasts Root version was for. It also took a bunch of trys...had to manually install superuser, then restored my rom.
gotta love NAND backup.
Anyway, any ideas? was im being stupid and doing something wrong? or does PRI .4 screw the bootloader?

Yeah if you read them right you would have known you didnt have to load any files just do a ##786 wipe and be done with it. might take a few trys. But good catch READ READ READ then read it again
I did that. And I got .4 pli. My bootloader changed to .70 and and stopped working...wanted to know if that was isolated or not

To clarify, in case someone stumbles across this and does this. Were you Rooted before running ##786#? Did you run Unrevoked forever? What method did you do to re-root your phone?
Thanks
I was full rooted prior by toasts method of Root & nand unlock.
I was on Hboot V .76
I never did unrEVOked Forever.
I did ##786# to update PRI from .36 to .4
Hboot changed to .79
I could no longer ADB.( i dont know if its a result of .79 or a coincidence)
I was looking through the forums, a post suggested redoing the 2nd part of Toasts Root(nandroid unlock) That just fubared my phone even more ha ha.
So I re did Step one, then Step two of Toast. However that did not work. I eneded up using this thread http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=741294 then manualy updating Superuser.apk from here http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=682828
Hope that helps!

Hmmm... This is really odd. I am wondering how many other people this has happened to. I did the same update, ##786# without having unrevoked forever (something about putting my phone in a state that CAN NOT be returned to stock). I still have 0.76 hboot. I'm wondering if it is due to the ROM you were on. I know people are getting mixed results with different ROM's. Actully some are getting mixed results on the SAME roms. I had to run the update twice, for some it worked first try, others had to do it 5-10-20 times to work...
I'm waiting for this for a couple of days. Till its ironed out.

This is where I am:
Im having a new problem now. I got as far as the downgrade last night, unrevoked forever, hboot 0.77, Firmware, 2.1update1, baseband 1.00.03.04.06, kernel, 2.6.29-cc1c2268, build number 1.22.605.0 CL161493 release-keys, software number 1.22.605.0, Browser WebKit3.1, PRI 1.28_008, PRL 40067, ERI Version 5
In my research last night doing this I would take the official OTA thru the phone via OTA. This did not happen. Also, from further reading today, some are saying Hboot 0.77 wont take the OTA via OTA... so...
At this point, I am beginning to think I could be in way over my head. Can someone tell me how to get my phone back to stock and at the most current update?
Thanks in advance.
Just a note. I returned both my wife's and my (work) phone to stock about a week ago. I have not yet recieved the update and she has. It's still being rolled out and (as far as I can tell from communication with VZW) could take up to a month to actually hit your phone.
I didn't even bother with my personal phone. CM6 goodness there.
Search the threads for an RUU that puts your software to 1.22.605.2 will probably have .79 hboot included. Try that. Or you can also search for a copy of the update.zip. But I believe you still need 1.22.605.2 to get that to work.

Will running the update from http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=760068&highlight=exe update the PRI to 1.40, or is PRI strictly OTA?
No the RUU does not contain the PRI.
currently the only known way to update the PRI is one of the many methods on the forum involving the hands free activation. It is still very hit or miss. it also seems some methods work great for soem and not at all for others. I know it took me over 100 tries to finally get updated. I am not in an area where i gain much from it either. I am just a sucker who likes to know his phone is completly uptodate and that if i need to unroot for service reasons they will have no way of knowing now.
I was just thinking of doing the ruu or the ota to see if I could get the 1.40 back since Unrevoked 3.2 is out. Oh well.

Well if you need the PRI 1.40 then the best step is to flash a rooted 2.2 stock Rom and then apply the PRI update. You can use one of the "How to" PRI update from the Dev forum. There have been many success from users who use the "No wipe" method to update their PRI...
I appreciate all the help, and I appreciate not being flamed.
However, I have tried these methods, MANY times, including the newish" use fresh" rom with no success .
yea it is hit or miss. all i can say is if you are determined to get it is to keep trying it. like i said it literally took me over 100 tries using just about every method. i finally got it after trying the fresh method by just doing ##768# method without flashing any diffrent rom etc. the first time nothing i did a plain reset when i loaded back up 1.40.
it can be discouraging but if you keep at it eventually you will get it. just dont expect to do it 2-3 times on any given method and automatically have it work.
EDIT: repost
If you have a 1.47 evo or eariler it is a simple process to upgrade with out wiping data and maintain root. Although you will be running Sprints stock software, you will have total root nand and flash. Did it on two Evos last week. See my post on the thread below

Hi Guys,
So I rooted my stock Incredible a few months back using Unrevoked and nandroid backup, and I know 2.2 just finally came out officially.
I've been keeping up with the forums but having a great deal of time figuring out how to upgrade to 2.2 with root. I actually received the notification from my phone that the update was out -- so I downloaded the update via my phone, and while it was trying to upgrade, the phone locked up -- then the update got lost after that and it says my phone is up to date yet I don't have 720p video recording.
I guess my main hurdle is overcoming all these technical speak -- upgrading radio? adb? recovery? kernel? All I want is to do the necessary minimum in order to upgrade from my rooted 2.1 to rooted 2.2.
Would someone please be kind enough to lend a hand? I've looked through "HTC DROID INCREDIBLE helpful/popular threads [LOOK HERE FIRST]" and other threads, but just get lost in the jargon.
Thanks!
These are some instructions I used to do what you want to do. I also added my comments on how I did it later in the posting. Thanks to Heathsrow for his help.

Updating the radio was the scariest part for me cause done wrong and it could brick your phone. Follow the steps slowly and precisely and it should be fine though.
Thread moved to Q&A.
Are you referring to the post by Heathsrow? But those are instructions to go from a Stock 2.1 to rooted 2.2..
I have a rooted 2.1 already. Will it matter?
This is the guide I started checking out last night. Thinking of doing it today!
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=771178
Make sure you apply s-off before installing 2.2, either the OTA or the RUU otherwise you will not be able to root it without downgrading back to 2.1.

Just wanted to say I followed this guide instead
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=760306
It's a lot easier. if you're already rooted on 2.1 start on step 9.
You can download unrevoked-forever at the top of the guide and the 2.15 radio.
Just make sure you follow the guide exactly and read the warnings about updating the radio.
