Safe to flash combo radio update posted on here? - EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

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.

When I do a NAND Backup, does it backup the radio???

When I do a NAND Backup, does it backup the radio???
Just wondering in case I have problems with the radio I flash... if I can go back to where I am today (including the radio)...
Thanks!
No it does not.
So what if I want to go back to my stock 1.36 radio (or would there be no reason for me to do this since 2.05 is that much better)?
Also, will the 2.05 radio work with any ROM (including my stock sprint rooted 1.32.651.6 firmware)?
Read. This has been discussed 100 times.
The new radio will only work with the newest stock OTA or a ROM that is based off the newest OTA which is clearly spelled out in the first post of any new ROM thread.
Ok... thx... I hate to follow up with more noob questions, but does that mean I need to flash a latest OTA rom before I can go to CM6 because I need to flash the lastest radio BEFORE installing cm6?
No, you can flash radios and kernels separately from ROMs. Just flash CM6, then flash a radio, and you should be good.
http://forum.xda-developers.com/wiki/index.php?title=HTC_Evo_ROMs
Follow the instructions on the thread for the ROM you want to install.
And since I can see this coming a mile away, if you flash CM6, you will lose 4G and HDMI. No there is no way around it. So don't do it then wonder why it doesn't work.
Thanks for the help... I was aware that Wimax and HDMI aren't working yet on CM6 RC1 .. but don't need either...

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.

NEVER do an OTA update if you are rooted. The link he sent you is for one of the MANY gingerbread roms available. Visit the development section to choose and select a gb rom to flash.
If you take the OTA update you will lose root and no exploit has been found.

Do not downloads any OTA's, always only get updates from the forums & new roms. OTA's, especially the new ones either break root or blocked it after being updated. Just download any new gingerbread rom & flash one of those using RA Recovery, new the clockwork recovery doesnt wipe dalvik cache. Download the new radios,WIMAX, etc as well from the forums, Calkulin has them all posted in the forums. U will not miss that old MYN Rom, i ran that last year when i 1st got my phone...
My opinion, but Gingerbread sucks in comparison to Myn's 2.2.
I had a replacement come in with Gingerbread, and I could hang myself for it.
I wouldn't voluntarily put that garbage on my phone if someone paid me to do so.

[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?

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??

[Q] How To Update PRL in Cyanogenmod 7.1?

I have been running Cyanogenmod 7.1 for a while now and am wondering how to update the Sprint PRL without having to revert to a Sense ROM to do the update.
I have read that there are flashable files that will update the PRL (if you can find the latest one).
What I am wondering, is it possible to take from my Titanium Backup or AmonRa backup (using app extractor) a system app that will allow for easy update when I was running Stock? If so, what is the file/app I should be looking for?
I am also wondering where I can get the updated Voicemail that was recently pushed out. My wife got it on her unrooted EVO 4G.
Thanks for any help.
Doc
Its not possible in tb. Also, you'd need to flash the zip [I don't know who does them], or do it the old fashioned way of backing up, flash a sense rom, update, flash back.
Also, PM Hipkat , you can tell him I sent you. I think he has the latest VVM apk you want.
To save ya a step u could flash r2r going green cuz it has updates included in the rom

Flash this through bootloader... PC36IMG its updated PRL,wimax,radio and NV,im on TN's Xplod,its a cyanogemod based rom.
I think I by-passed all this this morning. It occurred to me that CM7 has a setting to open soft keyboard on long press menu. I dialed my activation number (I'm on Verizon btw), and when the dial-pad-less page was presented during the call, I held down menu and pressed my option (2) using the soft keyboard. It worked perfectly and didn't even need rebooting. I had been googling trying to find an answer to how to update prl and only saw answers on how you need to flash back to stock. I don't know if all carriers update prl the same way, but just suggesting another option.
