PRI Version

What is the correct PRI version with the 1.47.651.1 firmware? I have 1.34_003, but I've seen some people posting they have 1.40_003. I'm wondering if there is any difference in the "first" and "second" updates that people are downloading? Is it hardware version related? My hardware version is 0002. My PRL is 60667.

I have hardware version 0002 as well, and show PRI 1.40_003, with PRL of 60665.
Interesting that it's a little different out there.

I am 002 hardware with 1.40.003 and prl ending in 667.

Anyone have any input on the difference in the two PRI versions?

I am also... 002 hardware with 1.40.003 and prl ending in 667.

i originally had the 1.40.003 on my stock rom..but after rooting and unlocking nand..it got downgraded to 1.34.003. Currently there is no way to manually update the PRI. It has to be built into the rom according to toastcfg post here: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=6845492&postcount=75

Interesting... Wonder why people with the same hardware revision and firmware have different version PRIs...

From my understanding the PRI 1.40_003 is for stock or Stock Root and the PRI 1.34_003 was part of the downgrade to be able to unlock the NAND protection even though it does not directly relate to it.

Interesting theory! Sprint would be able to tell if the phone had been previously rooted if this is true!

yes the stock rom has the 1.40 and the nand unlock rom has the older 1.34

Differences between PRI 1.34_003 & 1.40_003?
Differences between PRI 1.34_003 & 1.40_003?
Does anyone know the difference of these two versions? Someone said it's the Primary Roaming Index, will it affect the performance of the phone itself? I've searched this forum and no one has answered this question before.
I have part-2 root and using stock rooted .6 rom, deleted some system apps myself, and applied the rooted OTA update, i can still use all the features of the phone like 3G-4G, (I noticed it was harder to get a 4G connection since OTA update) but don't know if they are faster or slower than stock, can anyone share some insight?
Is there a way to back out of part-2 root to get the 1.40_003 to test out?

I just posted a somewhat similar question in the Q&A section. I have updated everything (PRL, baseband, wimax, etc.) EXCEPT PRI version. I'm also wondering if updating it is necessary or beneficial. If anyone knows, I hope they let us know.
thanks.

I believe PRI is Primary Rate Interface and it has to do with the network connection

Been trying to get my PRI back to stock but it doesn't seem possible, flashed my phone back to stock with the RUU then did OTA's up to 1.47 but my PRI is stuck at 1.34 it won't update. My reception and 3g was awesome before rooting and I suspect the PRI is to blame with my spotty 3g now. I also can't seem to get a 4g signal where others are saying they see 4g. I have a new phone coming. Will compare them side by side to see in a few days and update the post.

any luck with this? my pri version is also stuck at 1.34. i did the radio update as well.

"The PRI contains the settings for the various configuration items on the handset that may be network specific but not necessarily subscription specific, such as standard CDMA channels, slot cycle index, default PRL, etc."

I am almost positive if you want to go back to the stock PRI you can do a master reset but you need the MSL to do so. Well at least this was the way with the Hero.
Here is the link for the Hero. I am not sure that this will work but its worth a try.

Hrshycro,
by default Fresh .5.3 does not provide the 2.05 baseband. so you may have done something similar to me. my software versions are the same http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?p=7011250#post7011250
All is working well on my device. 4G is fine (still a bit of a battery hog tho)

there is a post in the development forum that better explains it, but essentially the PRI is part of the HBOOT.
If you have flashed the engineering HBOOT then your PRI will be the 1.34_003, this is what lets you keep your full root/nand unlocked.
If you have the original OEM un-rooted HBOOT, then you will have the 1.40 PRI and thus the locked HBOOT/nand.
IF or UNTIL the HBOOT gets separate from the PRI, you will have to stay with PRI 1.34 if you want to keep your ROOT.
If you really want or have to go back to 1.40, you should be able to flash the OEM RUU which should set everything back to stock and un-rooted. Not currently possible to go back to 1.40 PRI.

[Q] camera problem.

my camera stopped working after i downgraded to 2.1 so i upgraded back to 2.2.
now it still doesn't work. iv'e tried everything. the phone is on 3.29.651.5, 2.2 with baseband 2.15.00.09.01 please help.
edit:
just realized what happened i have a 004 Hw version evo.
what happened is im at 3.29.651.5
my camera is not supported because my evo has the new chip.
it wont update because my evo is thinking its the older version 001,002, or 003.
because it was shipped with 3.30.651.2 i need to get to 3.30.651.2 for the camera to work any ideas?
so now what im looking for is a PC36IMG with 3.30.651.2 that can be update/upgraded with s-on
anyone?

did you find your answer.. if not just flash any new custom rom with 3.30.651.2 or higher

see im very new to the whole android scene and i really don't know exactly what im doing yet, but will i beable to flash a custom rom even though im on 2.02 bootloader with s-on?

anyone know what im even talking about? can anyone tell me what firmware/software gets shipped with the 004 HW version?

Newest OTA 3.30.651.3 vs Evo Hardware 0003 and older

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

all i know is that clockwork hates the 3.4 fresh with 3.0 update, it screws up the nandroid backup, never gonna try another non-cyanogen rom again.

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.

[Q] 0003 hw 3.29.651.5 -> 3.30.651.3

I got a replacement EVO today with the following specs:
Hardware: 0003
HBOOT: .97.000
Baseband: 2.15.00.09.01
Kernel:2.6.32.15
Software number: 3.29.651.5
PRI: 1.71_003
PRL: 60671
I have not rooted yet; I ran the HTC software update to try to get the FOTA for 3.30.xxxx, but it says no updates available for your phone. Is it that Sprint doesn't push this 3.30.xx updates to 'older' hardware i.e. 003?
I recall being able to flash the rooted/deodexed version of this 3.30.xx update on my prior rooted phone. Anyone have ideas as to why I can't get the update on my unrooted EVO?
I am also curious as to why the PRI is at 1.71 (and not 1.77 which is what the official RUU for that build has). I'd appreciate informed feedback from other forum members.
Lastly, of the rooting methods available, which is advisable to use (if I don't want to use any of the Unrevoked variants)?
Thanks.

The 3.30 OTAs are only for hardware versions 0004 and up, so you won't get the OTA from Sprint on 0003 hardware. You can flash 3.30 based ROMs if you are rooted though.

I take it you flashed over your rooted 0003 phone (since sprint blocks it).
Quick question: is there a way (perhaps logcat?) to tell if a recent 0003 handset has new camera hardware? I guess I'd be looking for some hardware signature or such.

If you phone is h/w 0003 and came with 3.30 then you have new hardware plus the camera won't work with any other kernels besides HTC #10 & 17

[Q] New Evo with weird hboot / software / hardware combo

So, I've read a lot of threads and looked at other people's Evo configurations and haven't found one like this:
Hardware = 004
Software = 3.29.651.5
Hboot = 0.97
Baseband = 2.15.00.09.01
Based on the hboot and software, I should be able to use unrevoked3, but I'm hesitating a bit because of the 004 hardware.
Anyone out there with this setup and rooted?

That is really weird. I always thought the 004 EVOs had a different camera and needed different software because of it. The good news is, unrevoked should work fine because of your software and hboot version, but I definitely understand your reluctance to try it.

Please keep us updated if you do

I have the exact same hardware, software, and baseband versions. Not sure how to check the Hboot version. Bought my phone about 1 month ago. It does seem like most people with 004 hardware have 3.30 software.
I was able to root using unrevoked3 with no problems.

I just checked it and I also have Hboot 0.97. So all of my versions match yours. Looks like you should be able to root just fine.

I can confirm. I have the same hardware/software setup and unrevoked3.blah works fine. Had mine rooted for nearly a month now, and have been flashing away. all seems kosher.

i wish my phone would come with hboot 0.97 then i could use unrevoked 3.2 to root my phone by now. still waitin for unrevoked 3.3 to be released
my white evo made in oct 2010
hardware 003
hboot 2.02
software 3.30
rest are the same as everyone else's
by the way, i read somewhere that a newer type of screen being used now on newer evo ? i got touch panel - atmelc03_16ac
is that new or old ?

thanks everyone for validating that unrevoked3 will work.
it is odd..if 3.30.x is the newest software, and we have 3.29.x, why won't the htc/firmware update find the newer build to download? undocumented feature
