[Q] If I am on a stock ROM...

If I am on the stock ROM but rooted with Unrevoked 3.2 with S-OFF, does my PRI automatically update? And if it does, is it just pushed out OTA? I am just curious with everyone going crazy over this new mythical PRI 1.7.
I tried to do a search but found nothing. Thanks.

you found nothing cause there really is nothing yet to use to update to the 1.7, so honestly don't worry about it, as long as you have 1.4 then just let it go till we see a flashable zip.
I should have been more specific. Will mine update OTA or will I need to do something to update it?

Safe to flash combo radio update posted on here?

I'm running cm6 final and curious if all I need to do is flash the zip and be done. I know we can't update prl since cm6 doesnt have that option. Do I need to flash a rooted stock rom and then update, then do a restore of cm6? Sorry I couldn't find a straight yes or no answer and dont like doing things that I dont know the outcome of.

updating radios ?

so im trying to update the radio, wimax and PRI and when i try to flash the zip file i get "multiple firmware images" error and "cant store zip image" error. Does anyone know what is going on and how to fix this. thank you
The easiest way is to do it with a rom that has all of that in it. try the sprint lovers Rom all in one. it work well for me, and I've just undated and rooted my friend evo. don't do it with culking all in one flash cause you may run in to trouble!!!. And I do mean that, you will get stock on boot splash, boot screen.
i really like myns twopointtwo rom and have been using it awhile now. If i flash the sprint lovers rom with the updated radios will i be able to go back to myns rom and keep the radios since his rom doesnt include them.
Yes. After that you can flash whatever you want.

[Q] Question regarding Sprint Update & Root????

So thanks to this great website I rooted my phone having the Sprint update. Being patient has paid off. However I have a question regarding the Sprint Update and flashing a Rom.
I flashed the Sprint RUU to my phone and have the new update. However I want to keep the new update. I really like CM7 which is what I've been using. My question is when I flash the CM7 (7.0.3 I believe) does that take away or down grade my update from sprint???
The reason Im asking is because my software is different. Since I cant update the PRL through CM7 I have to flash to a sense ROM then flash back to CM7.
Is there a way I can update CM7 but still keep the software flashed by the Sprint update????
My wife has an Evo 4G so I've compared the software from her phone to my phone.
Also her PRI Version is updated to, and my phone still shows 1.90_003.. I believe I can search her for the PRI update and flash..
So I hope my question makes sense. If someone would let me know your experience with CM7 and the update from Sprint. .I just feel like i'm downgrading for some reason unless there's a newer update from CM7 but I havent seen it yet..
If there is an update from CM7 if you could provide a link.. I've checked the website and nothing has been updated yet.
What do you mean by software? If you mean the apps, then no. Any 'htc'/sense app won't work on CM7. Though if you mean like the PRL, PRI, or Radio, you can. Just update the prl and pri in a sense rom, flash back to CM7, then flash the radio seperately in recovery; unless i misunderstand you.
so updating, then going back to preferred rom will keep my update the same right?

Can you be more specific of the contents when you say update, cuz it could be different things.

Ruu's aren't the only way to get radio updates. Calkulin has a thread with the radios. You can just stay on cm7 and flash the radio update zip; no need to go back to sense

If i'm not mistaken, Sprint's updates are sometimes a combo of radios and/or a rom. So by flashing CM7, you need to hunt down the latest radio (i highly recommend the wakelock fix) to flash on TOP of CM7. That's the best way to explain it. Cause when you flash another rom, it's gonna come preloaded with whatever the dev decided to use.
Ok. I am not flashing cm7 I just moved from that to bliss but I am getting a sms error that just happens when it wants to and it says error class 34 cause 2. Wondering if I need to update radios like u are saying. Never happened with any other Rom
EDIT
error: cause code 34 error class 2

Thanks for the replies....
What I';m asking is how can I update my PRI.. Not PRL
And from the post above that makes sense.. The PRL and PRI will update based on what the dev decided..
Im trying to update my PRI and have been searching everywhere and cant get a straight answer.
I went back to a sense ROM even flashed the RUU from sprint to try to get it to update.. The software version is right and everything else EXCEPT the PRI
I've tried flashing in recovery... Nothing..
I was up last night till 4am trying to follow all steps to update my PRI but it doesnt seem to work.. Maybe I need to unroot??????
I rooted using the revolution method.. everything was fine.. But now that ONE update is bugging me..
Has anyone been successful in updating???
If so can you explain exactly what you did...
Thanks

What message do you get when you try to update the PRI (are you sure you don't mean the PRL)?
Is it possible that your PRI/PRL is already up to date and that is why it won't update?
Go to the link in my post before and it has a combo of all of the latest radio updates. Flash that over cm7 and you should be golden

As far as the link for updated radios etc, I downloaded the required radio and PRI file... I boot in recovery using the revolution recovery, and install via zip.... then select the PRI version.. install and then reboot phone... Nothing..
So Im familiar with the link you posted, thanks.. But am I doing something wrong when it comes to flashing the updated PRI??
EDIT** I am trying to flash over unrooted sense Rom.. I unrooted thinking that would help.. Still a no go***
I think so let me know when you find out.
Dude. Its not that hard. You do not need to unroot or anything. You download the file and you flash it in recovery over cm7 that gives you updated radio, pri,prl, and NV

Thats why I'm asking bc its not reflecting the update. Where on CM7 can I verify the PRI? On sense in about phone etc... In CM7 about phone doesnt show that option.
You don't need to verify anything. You flash the update, you're good.

Just to clarify, there is no way in any aosp that I have seen to check your PRI version, need to flash to sense to confirm your change.
correct. all you can do is flash the zips in recovery OR flash the p36img for the gps/wimax fix in the bootloader. Either or. And yes, there is no way to verify in an AOSP rom, because you can't update your prl or profile in an AOSP rom to begin with.

Thanks ...that's what I thought. Which leads be back to my original comment earlier, when I flash the new PRI it never changes when I verify. I flash back to a sense Rom and it stays at 1.90_003
So that's my issue...I've unrooted,rooted, flashed my back up ....nothing ..
What would cause it not to change? The new software update took just fine all except the PRI.
I'm using the revolution recovery. Which I don't think matters. I've flashed and flashed...
Ideas??

[Q] Upgrading to 2.3.3 from 2.2 rooted?

I am using 2.2 and kernal version 2.6.32.17, build number 3.70, this phone is already rooted, but never had any ROMs installed.. how can I upgrade to 2.3.3 and then root that? I assume ill have to back up everything to my pc from my sd card? I hope someone can steer me the right way, and its not as complicated..
If you are rooted, choose a rom that you want that has 2.3.3 there are plenty out there, even the sprint lovers rom or even synergy if you want the new sense 3.0 features.
Download which you want put the zip on the root of your sd card.
Find caulkins wipe zip, which is in one of his threads, put that on the root of your sd card as well.
Load up recovery(can be done by vol down+power when powered off)
Make a nandroid backup.
Flash caulkins wipe zip.
Flash the rom you want.
Reboot.
When i tried to flash the caulkins wipe zip I got this error:
Amend scripting (update-script) is no longer supported.
Amend scripting was deprecated by google in android 1.5
it was necessary to remove it when upgradeing to the clockworkMod 3.0 gingerbread based recovery.
Please switch to Edify scripting (updater-script and update- binary) to create working update zip package.
It rebooted. So then i wet in ROM Manager and tried to install the synergy room and i got an installation aborted error and my evo restarted and the stock rom came up as if brand new, all contacts/apps gone. Luckily i made a backup and was able to restore.. what could the problem be?

If you have S-off then you already rooted. Just flash a rooted stock ROM.
**CLICK HERE** and go to post #2. That has links to the latest rooted stock ROMs.
Don't forget the thanks button.
Op I think you should run decks aosp rom. The problem you are having with the amend script is because you're running clockwork mod recovery. Now you have 2 options. If you decide to go with the rom I would recommend, you should go in the link below and follow all of the instructions.
If you wanna flash what you were trying to flash before, go to the link below and somewhere in the first post you will find a link to amon ra recovery. Flash that recovery and then you can follow the instructions you were trying before

He could always downgrade to a previous version of clockwork.
Thanks for the replies everybody, what I did was install a new rooted stock rom and then I installed "Synergy RLS1 + GodMode", so far so good, but my question is how come I dont have HTC Sense 3.0? I checked in system info and it is HTC Sense 2.1.

That may not be a 3.0 version, some roms were sense 2.1 build with 3.0 features, like lock screen, ect.
Ah gotcha, no complaints, still nice compared to the 2.2 stock that shipped out with Sprint..
