Hello all,
My roommate and I each have EVO phones. Both of us are rooted and running CM6. However, my roommate is complaining of no 4g and wants to go back to original HTC Sense Froyo. I tried to talk him out of it but to no avail. However, neither of us know how to do the official Froyo OTA. Any help on as to how?
Thanks
*Edit* He doesn't want root anymore because he wants to updated PRI
There is a link on here somewhere to the original HTC RUU file. From what I can tell, if you use a Sprint-provided RUU, you run the risk of losing the ability to root forever, but the HTC one wont.
I went from rooted and nand-unlocked back down to stock with the RUU. Once you are stock, then you qualify for the regularly pushed OTA updates.

Want to lose root? Use the leaked 'official' RUU here

Edit: Also make sure your RPI will get updated by flashing that RUU.

STOP!!!!!!! Your roommate WILL NOT GET THE UPDATED PRI IF HE UNROOTS AND GOES OFFICIAL!!!! You have to wait for pri fix. The only way right now to get the new pri is to call insurance tell them whatever, drop ur phone in the toilet, pay the $100 and wait for a new phone. Trust me i know everything about this phone. As for 4g, tell him to run calkulins rom with netarchys kernal better battery life than cm6 and he will have 4g no problem. Hope this helps.

Ok. I just got my EVO Tuesday and while I cannot confirm for sure that i had 3.30 to begin with I am pretty sure I did.
Not knowing that the guide i was following to root the device was for an older version I attempted to root, and bricked the phone. I managed to restore the phone using "RUU_SuperSonic_S_Sprint_WWE_3.29.651.5_Radio_2.15.00.09.01_NV_1.77_CNV_release_150224_signed.exe" and I was back to normal....or so i thought
Now the camera/camcorder does not work. I am assuming that my phone was 3.30 and the 3.29.651 I am on now doesnt speak to the camera the same way. It was rumored the 3.30 builds had camera fixes so this makes sense.
Here are my actual questions, with number 1 being the biggest and most important to me at the moment:
1. How do i get back to the 3.30 version the phone came with? IS there a RUU similar to what i used for 3.29 to restore the phone? Where can i get this?
2. If i cant get back to 3.30, is there any way to fix the camera?
3. How can I successfully root 3.29.651? Ive tried every guide i have found here, unrevoked 3, and the one touch rooter programs, but none seem to work. They all fail applying the radio image with FAIL-PU
I appreciate any support and thanks in advance to everyone who can help

Do you have a link to this rom? Can I install this if i am not rooted? I have not been able to root to get to any custom rom

when i run unrevoked 3 it says rooting success, but here are the last few lines before it fails:
this was triumph

when bootloader starts choose hboot usb ----- never goes to bootloader after this restart goes right to phone
i reboot it manually and choose hboot usb

I just replaced my busted EVO for a new one. Has the new 3.30 in it, hardware is 003. After rooting I lost camera/video due to the PC36IMG I had used while rooting. I installed Myns Warm 2.2 rev3 and got camera/video back, so far that's the only one I can get it on. Just for SnG's I changed out kernels to Kings, and sure enough lost camera and vid. Reflashed 2point2 rev3 with stock HTC kernel and back to working cam. Hopefully this will help. I haven't tried Sprint Lovers yet, but I would imagine it would work the same as Myn's. Any other rom I have run (MIUI _CM6.1) no camera again.

OK. FINALLY got S-OFF. but i am not root, at least as per titanium backup is concerened. What now?
rooted and uploaded a custom rom, sprint lovers. Thanks to everyone
I have read through a bunch of ROM Threads in the Dev section that state that the 3.30.651.3 release may have compatibility issues with hardware versions 0003 and older.. I was hoping someone may be able to confirm / deny or explain this.
The reason I am asking is because I have a phone with hardware version 0003 and I have installed a couple different ROMS that are based on 3.30.651.3 and I have experienced random problems from extreme lag to really poor battery life.
Thanks in advance..

Not a whole lot of help, but here is my two cents....
I have two Evo's, one is 0002 and the other is 0003. I ran 3.30.651.3 on both of them, and didn't experience any problems running fresh 3.4.1. However after doing some research, I've reverted to Fresh 3.3.0.1 because it's based on 3.29.651.5. Being with hardware version 0003, I've been told 3.29.651.5 is optimal. I even unrooted to check for OTA's and the only OTA update available was 3.29.651.5.
If you'd like to try Fresh's rom with 3.30.651.3, DL Fresh 3.4.1, and install the unofficial patch found in the thread. That's about all I can tell ya bud.

this is true but (and not to plug my fav. dev.) Ricsim has made some tweeks to azreal x so that you get good battery life with the latest OTA it has ran flawlessly on my phone so far. Prior to this i was haveing the same problems you have mentioned my phone is 0003 and i was getting lag and massive battery drain till i flashed a new kernel but that only helped when my phone was sleeping or screen off. Rom choice is all up to you if you like the way your phone runs on 3.30 then stay with it if not then try fresh 3.3.01. Just remember not all phones like certain kernels.
The issue is not specifically hardware related, but shipped software related. Some 003's were shipped with the 3.29 ROM, others with the 3.30. From what I understand the ones that were shipped with the 3.30 had a different camera manufacturer. If your 003 was shipped with 3.29 then use a 3.29 ROM, otherwise use a 3.30 ROM.
One quick way to find out is to flash a custom kernel and see if your camera works. If your camera/camcorder breaks then use a 3.30 ROM with the stock HTC kernel. The #17 is working great for me.
BTW, I have an 003 phone with the 3.30 shipped ROM. Can't wait for HTC to release the kernel source so the devs can start working on it.

you are absolutly correct, i should have mentioned that in my post guess i wasn't thinking about it

As I stated above I also have 0003, but I don't remember what ROM version it was shipped with, so to try to find out, I unrooted, and searched for system updates and there was only the 3.29 update. If my phone was shipped with 3.30, that update would have been available, correct? Because it was not available it leads me to believe I do not have the new chip, however 3.30 worked fine in all perspectives for me. Actually it worked fine on 0002 hardware as well. Puzzled????

there is no update from 3.29 if you installed 3.29 on a phone that came with 3.30 it won't update the only way to check is if your camera doesn't work with stock 3.29 rooted or unrooted. 3.30 camera h\w will not work with any other kernel besides htc#10 and htc#17

So let me get this straight. If our phone came with 3.30, but we unroot to a 3.29 RUU, the phone will not OTA update back to 3.30? Also if I flash flipz 3.3.0.1 ROM based on the 3.29 software and kernel 2.6.32.15-ge2fb08e [email protected]#11 and my camera works fine, then my phone was originally shipped with 3.29?

Ok I was just about to flash a stock 3.29 Rom to check, but remembered I am running nets universal 4.1.9 kernal. Thus proving I am on the old chip? Or should I still flash the stock 3.29 to find out? Sorry man, just trying to learn all I can. I appreciate your patience and insight very much.

I would assume that if your running nets uni 4.1.9 kernel and your camera works fine then yes, you have the old camera chip. Maybe im wrong, little confused myself.
Ok this is driving me nuts, so I took a shot at calling sprint to see if they could tell me what chip I have (I knew it'd be pointless but what the hell), I told them I was on hardware version 0003, and we discussed the new 3.30 OTA, sprint agreed that this update was intended for the new camera chip in 0004, however told me I should be running the 3.30 update. Then I got into it with them about receiving an out dated phone (0003). Sprint assured me my phone was not out dated even though they confirmed the 0004 hardware and the new camera chip. "Sir with the OTA update your phone will not be out dated" So I very calmly broke it down very simple for them... "ma'am you see that I am running 0003, you've confirmed that the OTA was intended for phones that have the new camera chip installed in hardware version 0004. You are telling me that my phone is not out dated?" She goes on to say once again that after I install the OTA my phone will be up to date.
"ma'am, let me get this correct, if I install an OTA software update it will automatically install a new hardware camera chip in my phone" She says well let me look into that please hold. She then confirms that an OTA will not install the new hardware chip. "So you see the EVO that was shipped to me a month ago is out of date" She said that was a hardware issue and they do not handle that, and gave me HTC's #. Wish I would have recorded the call. Priceless.
using HW 003 with the latest 3.30.651.3 based Sprint Lovers ROM and battery life is pretty darn good compared to all other stock rooted ROMs i have used. i am pretty sure this doesnt have the new camera as i bought it just after the evo was first released. i am a moderate user, heavy on the texting and browsing side of things. and my usage pattern has pretty much been consistent for the past few months and i have noticed significant improvement in the battery life with the 3.30 version. i can easily go for anything between 30-35 hrs with my usage pattern. that is an improvement from 20-24 hrs with previous stock rooted ROMs. you can look at some screenshots on the link on my signature.

It's not fresh, just don't use clockwork for nandroid. If you have kept up with the 4G RSA keys issue, you would know not to use clockwork since it's not properly archiving the RSA keys. If you don't want to risk losing the keys, then I recommend using amon-ra, which properly does a nandroid backup. Anyways, if you're using clockwork to flash different roms, it's also been stated that clockwork doesn't always do a clean wipe so there could be issues when installing a different rom, especially if going from CM AOSP back to sense Fresh rom. Amon-ra is the way to go.
I received an Inc 2 as a replacement phone and it came preloaded with the gingerbread ota.
I have researched various forums and have found some conflicting information. Mainly, this thread serves as a clarification for myself and those that also have gingerbread preinstalled.
1. Is it possible to downgrade to froyo in order to root when the phone comes preinstalled with gingerbread?
2. Is there currently a way, software wise, to root the 2.3.3 gingerbread update?
3. If the answer to the previous questions is no, is it ever going to be possible to install a custom rom and/or gain root access ?
Basically I am trying to decide if I should attempt to exchange it for an Inc2 with the old froyo software installed.
Thanks in advance.
I got lucky, I already replaced fascinate with dinc2 and got it today, however I had froyo on it.
1. no
2. no
3. Wait for an exploit or buy XTC clip.
No, you cannot downgrade to Froyo without rooting the phone.
No, there is no way to root the phone via software, YET.
Yes, it is likely that there will eventually be a software root for GB phones. It might be a while, because they just came out with froyo root a few weeks ago.
You could always get in on one of those XTC clip trading/group buy deals. I would just keep your phone for the time being, because honestly, there aren't any good ROM's yet. (this goes along with the fact that the phone just recently got rooted)
You're not really missing out on anything. My phone is rooted, and I am running the OTA debloated, not much different....
AT&T did that with My ARIA when I ordered it it was supposed to have 2.1 (Eclair) on it that was rootable, but by the time I got it they had released 2.2 (Froyo) and they shipped it that way.
I didn't have to wait very long before S-OFF was achieved though.
I imagine some Dev will stumble onto a way to S-OFF the latest OTA.
But If its the latest version I as far as I know you will need an XTC-Clip to get S-OFF.
I had miui on my fassy and miss it greatly
Oh well, it was worth a shot. Guess I can deal with stock for a while, if it becomes too unbearable I'll cough up the money for a clip.
haha you'll have the official MIUI with dinc2. check miui-us's post

Drooling over that currently haha
At least sense is better than touchwiz
I saw a few guys on here claim to be able to downgrade, but I don't know the truth to that statement. If I was in your position I would look into it, though.
Sent from my ADR6350 using XDA App
From what I can gather, you can only downgrade if your phone was rooted and s-off applied before the gingerbread update. In the case of phones with the preinstalled gingerbread ota it is not possible. Again, I am basically guessing but I believe this to be the case.
If it's true that you can downgrade and root, please correct me immediately lol
I think you're right, if you're S-OFF you can restore back to froyo with an RUU, but the whole point of having S-OFF is to be able to flash unofficial firmware, so if you're already on gingerbread and S-ON you're out of luck for now.
Has anyone confirmed that the XTC clip works for S-OFF on gingerbread?

You're right there sent any 'food's roms there are 'great' roms. CM and MIUI are completely stable and considering the fact that software root was just released I would say that's a great sign of things to come. Plus we have some great sense 3.0 roms that are being worked on as we speak. Bottom line is if you want to harness the best of your phone's hardware you'll need s-off.
Software s-off is not yet possible but an xtc clip definitely works. It is a hardware unlock so it doesn't matter which rom you have installed as it does its process in hboot before the rom even loads. The reason software s-off for gb isn't possible yet is because the exploit alpharevx used is patched in gb. I'm sure they'll find a way sooner or later but patience is the key.
This post is not meant to demean anyone just putting nlmy thoughts out there. Oh and by the way this thread probably belongs in the general section

OK, here is a rundown of what happened.
I have EVO 4G rooted with CM7.1 ROM.
My line was eligible for upgrade, but I wanted to use my upgrade for my brothers line with GS2 phone from Amazon. I bought it from Amazon, activated on my line, then had sprint swap the phones.
After the swap and I was back on my EVO 4G, my 3G was not working. So I tried to read up on some things and since I didn't want to have to revert back to stock before taking it to Sprint, I tried to flash the latest radios. That didn't solve the problem. So now I figured I should just revert back to stock and take it to Sprint. Tried to use UnRevoked S-On tool, then PC36IMG.zip to get it back to stock. The problem now is that I cant flash the Unrevokd S-On tool. It gives me an error saying the radio is not compatible. Maybe this was from me flashing the latest radios? So before I get any further down a hole, I wanted to ask if anyone knew how I can solve my issues.
Thanks in advance!
You dont need to unroot, but you DO need to be on a stock rom to be able to change your number and such.
Any examples of stock ROMs I can use?
Theres one by brad 560. Its just a stock rom.
Any rom based of of fw 4.54 will work. Its sense 1.0 so look for that.
Anything with CM7,AOSP,MIUI,SENSE 2.0,3.0,3.5 is not stock.

You don't need to mess with s-on, radios or unroot. All you need is to load a Sense based Rom and Update your Profile. Every time you swap phones, your Profile 1 AAA password changes. Updating Profile fixes it.
