[Q] If I am on a stock ROM... - EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

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?

[Q] not getting any OTA updates

Hey, I am currently using an Evo i got from a friend who got his at Google IO. My problem is that I am currently still on build 1.32.651.1 but when I try to check for OTA updates in the settings, it says my phone is up-to-date. Is there a way for me to force update? Or can I get the update roms somewhere? I found the 1.47 update rom but it updates from 1.32.651.6 which doesnt help me.
Thanks.

the 1.47 rom can be installed over any rom version as it will overwrite any past files so you can safely update from 1.32.651.1 with no problem
XmentalX: I tried flashing that rom on but it said that it failed to verify whole-file signature. I am guessing it is because the 1.47 rom I found was for upgrading from 1.32.651.6 build while I had the earlier 1.32.651.1 build.

does that not bring me to a rooted 1.47? If possible, for now, i'd like to stay unrooted.

Ok, thanks. I will try that then.
I think your confused. To my knowledge you cannot flash drive roms/updates manually without having root, via Clock work Mod (Nandroid). I tried updating via .zips from SD before rooting and installing clockwork mod and I was getting the same error. Why don't you want to root anyway? If you try to update using the OTA, you can't do froyo until the 3rd, if their even still releasing it. IF you don't want to root, your looking on the wrong web site. GO try HTC's site or Sprint. They can help you out since your still STOCK unrooted.

on the older roms you can flash via hboot by putting the PC36IMG.zip on the root of the sd card and pressing vol down + power
they patched that on 1.47 but you can still downgrade and do it no problem.

I am not opposed to root but I have not seen anything that I really wanted that required root. Also, you are right, perhaps asking HTC/sprint directly first would be helpful.
so, after a quick email with HTC, it seems that they do not officially support dev devices and thus no OTA updates. Thanks for your help.

fresh 0.5.3 to ota 2.2

hi just wanted to know if i can update to the ota 2.2 from without running to problems?? don't care if im gonna lose root access.
i beleive fresh blocks the OTA so you may have to manually update. if it lets yuo download the ota through the settigns then you should not have any problems.
As a note fresh and many others already have 2.2 roms using the new ota out. if rooted you may want to grab one of those since currently thre is NO WAY to reroot your phone on 2.2

Correct,do not upgrade manually, just flash a 1.47 based rom and then the newest Fresh 3.0.1

NO NOT GO TO THE HTC WEBSITE, just flash any 2.2 based rom
either would be ways of manually updating it. I just ment that you cant get the OTA automatically. So you would want to download either the HTC update (killing root chances) or root and download a rooted stock and flash it giving you the best of both worlds.

[Q] If I go to latest rooted Froyo, can I go back.

I know this question has probably already been answered but I didn't see it. I am on Damage 3.2.3. If I go to one of the latest rooted 2.2 builds and update radio and wimax, will I be able to go back to a nandroid back up of my 2.1 setup like I did when I went between CM6 and 2.1?
yes you can. I have done this many times with out problems. just back that nand up
That was with the latest OTA update, correct?

[Q]

how can i get the new sprint update without loosing my root, and i dont want to use unrevoked, can anybody help? is there a zip file for OTA 3.29.651.5
flash a rom that is the software version you desire, if you updated your pri to 1.90 you must stay with software 3.70

[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

Bliss has many problems. Idk if your read my post but I put a link to the radios there so I recommend you flash the latest for best performance

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??
