i am running my Dinc s-off with a custom splash from unrevoked, and the dinc bios boot animation.... i reflashed back to the stock recovery img, and checked to make sure it was there (phone with red exclamation point) do you think i need to run my nandroid backup from when I had the stock Splash and BA to receive the OTA? or do you think that it has just not gotten to me yet? sorry if this is a stupid question, but my teacher allways told me there is no such thing, i KNOW this has not been asked before... PLEASE HELP??!!!
Dude, you're screwed, you won't be able to receive another OTA again. That one thing is absolutely un-reversible.
Nawwww you're fine, but don't wait, just use one of the new ROMs built off the RUU.
holy sheeeet my heart stoppped!!!!! well i am going to let verizon update my radio for me... i am thinking of the virtuous -inc froyo..... however i do not want to have to wipe, so i think i am going to just get the OTA and unbloat it myself.

I have attached the stock recovery that needs to be flashed from the HBOOT.
It is my understanding however, that you need to downgrade to the .77 HBOOT, 1.xx radio AND 2.1 system for the update to notify you, give you the option to download, and install successfully. However, I am a few drinks into my night.
If you choose to follow that path. I suggest you read this
awesome stuff really appreciate it man gonna give it a try now, fellow floridian lol

If you get hung up anywhere, pm me and I'll give you a number to call me at in the morning/afternoon and I'll walk you through it.
your my hero bud, my freaking hero stock recovery got s-off i think thats all i need to recieve the ota and do it yea?
thnx
See, from this point, I'm not sure if you need the .77 HBOOT 1.xx Radio and 2.1build-1 on your phone (I'm really questioning it, as I beleive I read in a few places that you do, but I'm not sure at this point in the evening). I don't think the Skyraider rom will get a notification when the update is available. I'd say if you don't get a notification for the update when everyone else in the free world is, then you may have to.
As long as you have S-OFF, it doesn't matter either way, you have complete control for the rest of your phone's life. Whatever you do, don't turn it back on lol.
hmmm well if it doesnt show up guess my next set of questions is how to get back to stock everything

I too am awaiting the OTA update and was concerned. My phone is running 2.1 update 1 and is rooted. Will this prevent me from receiving the OTA update? If so what steps do I need to take to make sure I get the update then? Also should I put on unrevoked forever? If I do so will I need to do anything other than that to still receive the OTA update and keep root access?

Other than the root, did you modify anything else to your phone?
If not, your still with the .77 HBOOT, 1.xx baseband, and 2.1update-1 system?
Add unrevoked forever to remove s-off, then flash the stock recovery back to your phone. Your goal here is to have S-Off
in order to get the OTA (from my understanding) you need the stock recovery, do a little search I have all the faith in the world that you will find what you are looking for. you want to run unrevoked forever BEFORE you accept the OTA2.2, so this is your steps, root, run unrevoked forever getting S-OFF, find the file for the stock recovery, PB..IMG file, flash that in hboot, this will set u back to stock 2.1 update1, stock radio, stock recovery, but still have S-OFF to regain root, after the OTA comes.
So if I have stock everything, and have hboot .79 will I still get the OTA I don't see why not...

Currently the only thing I have done was rooted and removed CityID and but have not changed the radio or anything else. I have installed Unrevoked forever now. So do I still need to flash stock recovery even though I haven't changed the boot files or radio files at all?
Yes from what I've read you HAVE to have the stock recovery. what is your HBOOT once u get stock recovery?

My HBOOT is 0.79.0000
Radio 1.00.03.04.06
Any input would be helpful as to whether I will get OTA or do I need to do something.
once in hboot, go to recovery, if you have clockwork you wont get it i dont think, if you get a red triangle you have stock recovery and you are good to go.

Yes, install unrevoked forever. The fact that you are rooted will not affect the ability of your upgrade, it is the lack of the stock recovery that will halt you.
Unrevoked forever will allow you to flash ANY zip file you want to the phone (namely a zip that has su and Superuser.apk) and will allow you to regain root in the event that it is ever lost due to an OTA or user error.
S-OFF is a beautiful thing.
I would love to take my phone to Verizon right now with a manufactured problem, let him see the Superuser, official 2.2 system and then stock recovery. Could be priceless!
Hey guys, hope i'm posting this in the right place. I am in need of some serious help here! I rooted my wifes Evo via unrevoked and was running myn's RLS4 with no issues. Than i decided to update/flash the radio/wimax combo zip provided by virus on this forum. I did a Nandroid backup before this btw. Well the phone got stuck in the screen with the white box/arrow and android beside it. After a while i did a battery pull. After that the phone would not start up so i tried to flash the nandroid backup i made but it just kept getting stuck on the white screen that says HTC Evo 4G. I had an older nandroid backup of the stock/rooted sprint rom it came with. It let me flash that just fine for some reason but not the newest backup! Well after this the phone was running like CRAP! lagging, random reboots, physically heating up etc. I was directed to Chris Sprint Lovers 3.70 rom by another member. I did the all in one that the phone scans for automatically in bootloader. Worked like a charm and fixed everything BUT............now i cant flash any roms at all. It goes through all the steps when flashing but it gets stuck on the HTC Evo 4G screen everytime! I still have S-off and SU permissions and all root only apps are working fine. I was told to re-root it but that didnt work either. It gets stuck on the part where unrevoked says waiting for root! Can anyone PLEASE PLEASE help me? It would be much appreciated!

running Sprint Lovers 3.70 OTA update ROM
I think its because the new radio/pri is not really compatible with older HTC kernels or ROMs that are not based off of build 3.70. You might need to flash the older radio and pri before you can flash other ROMs.
Well after flashing the Sprint lovers rom all the software is up to date. Build 3.70, #15 kernel, etc. Runs really smooth but cant flash anything!
From my SuperSonic Evo
What is your hboot version?? You may need to use a different recovery version.
Its .092 I believe. I have been using clockwork recovery prior to this issue. Every time I flash something it just gets stuck in reboot.
From my Android and me
I have the Same problem sprint lovers rom 3.70 build and cannot cannot cannot get into recovery and i'm using Amon Ra and on Hboot .97 i'm pretty sure its the hboot
bump need a solution if any
I can access recovery and flash zips but it gets stuck on the reboot and than I have to do a battery pull and go back and flash my nandroid backup.
From my Android and me
Lucky you mine locks up on the splash screen trying to get in to recovery
Sent from my EVO at the edge of hell
Man i hope i can get my wifes phone fixed ASAP or i may be spending Xmas on the couch!!!!
Are you on the old HBOOT or the new one? Cause if your on an old HBOOT you can running the original ruu and down grade the radio and be back on track
Sent from my EVO at the edge of hell
Old one I believe. So the radio is the issue?

I belive so i Think that the new radio's are incompatable with the older hboots such as .97 and below excludeing the eng. bootloader haven't seen anyone have issues issues with .76 or 2.02 and above i have .97 and anytime i flash the radio's my recovery breaks gets stuck at the splash screen and won't go in to the recovery screen. after i flash the ruu that restores the old radios and flash reflash amon ra it works fine again. I have tried to reflash the recovery but its a no go still hangs up
Hmm....she likes the way its running with the 3.70 updates and new radio though. Its much smoother and battery life is pretty good! May try it out though.....
From my Android and me
Also, where can I find the correct ruu? I tried a few out that didnt work!
From my Android and me
Check out this thread.
Supersonic Shipped ROMs
It gets even more wierd....a friend of mine has the same phone, rooted the same way as my wifes, same software and all. He just flashed the Sprint lovers rom today. He can still access cwm recovery and flash like normal. What's up with that? Why won't my wifes work?
From my Android and me
I tried to run the RUU but it was a no go! It keeps giving me a usb error. This is gettig pretty annoying since she really wants her old font and rom back! Sorry for beating this to death but i just cant figure this one out! I cant flash anything!
So before I decided to flash unrevoked forever I was happily flashing through roms
without any worries..maybe flip flopping between the GB and Froyo without going above
And beyond a standard 2x wipe had something to do with this?
I go back to the 6.11 radio from 5.6 so I can flash the unrevoked forever. I flash the radio,get
rid of the pmb file and put URF in the root of SD and flash it in recovery,no error messages
and next I boot a custom splash,all is well..
I decide to go back to the new radio leak
I realize hours later that I can't send or receive txt or make calls;big red basically was
Rejecting my phone. After much searching I give up
I turned s back on and gave em a ring,basically I had to use the dialer to open up the radio and change like one #,then all was gravy with service. I'm now happily re rooted and running magnolia(i love this Rom)
Sorry it was so long winded but,what did I do wrong?
Did URF screw the radio?
Do I even need to use URF?
Was it the ROM switching?

To go to s-off all you do is flash the s-off file in clockwork, there is no other steps... Maybe I'm not understanding your problem.
But flashing radios can cause the problems you had.
Well from what I'm reading,after rooting with unrevoked I don't need URF...it says s-off
In hboot as is. My main concern is what could I have done to loose service to my phone.
Was it flashing the radio back and forth?
Was it from flashing too many roms and not wiping properly?
Was it because I ran Unrevoked Forever when I didn't need to?
I just want to make sure that something like this does not happen again

I would say maybe, but I also have noticed that after I flash a radio my phone won't connect to verizon. A couple of Airplane Toggles here and there kicks it back up....I always thought it was these CM7 nightlys
Or maybe I have a different problem all together and I'm just adding to the mess!
What I'm wondering is,do I even need to run unrevoked forever if I ran unrevoked? It says s-off in the bootloader. Is it possible that its a bug in URF¿
Unrevoked is supposed to be a one step program, roots the phone and ads s-off so there is no reason to run Unrevoked Forever and doing so could possibly mess up your phone. The instructions for Unrevoked were very clear about this when I used it last. And yes flashing radios can result in your phone not working thats why they usually come with a discalimer, flash at your own risk.
Might be noobish advice, but have you tried *228?
I've messed up big time now guys.
The background to the issue is that i wanted to upgrade my DZ to android 2.3 but when I tried to install the update Clockwork recovery wouldn't install it, so I figured that I need to install the original bootloader.
So I went into hboot and install what I tought was the original, it was, but it was for the G2.
So I tried in all kind of ways to get back to the DZ hboot but nothing works.
And after doing to many things, the latest thing I did was flashing a nandroidbackup from my DZ, and now I am stuck at boot screen.
However I can get into hboot and Clockwork recovery, so I don't think I am totally screwed, right?
But is there a way to get back to my old DZ at all?
Edit: I have the DZ bootloader now, but when in hboot trying to update to DZ it just fails.
Edit 2: Just wanted to say that I solved the problem, found an older nandroidbackup and flashing that one did the trick, sorry for posting..
Hey guys. A while ago I was trying to use the gfree method to unlock my sim (I had S-OFF) but I realized I had to downgrade my radio. Stupidly, I tried to flash the official RUU (RADIO-26.03.02.18_M3).
Half way through, I got an error (forgot what cause I wasn't paying much attention -_- ) and had to abort. After that, the phone would not go past the HTC screen. I go into bootloader and the phone was now S-ON and had the radio version 26.03.02.18_M3.
No matter which rom I flash the same thing happens. On another note, I can get into Bootloader and clockwork recovery and ADB works as well.
Anyone know what to do from here? Sorry for being stupid but i`m not the brightest at this
Sounds like you may wiped your boot and system partitions doing this. Did you have a nandroid backup to restore? You can try flashing the PC10IMG again to see if it works this time (risk of losing recovery) or try flashing a custom kernel in addition to the rom.
Kind Regards,
Kevin
