[Q] Updating PRL/PRI - EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

I'm currently switching back and forth between DC2.5 and Azrael X for ROMs, trying to figure out which one I like better, but I've been running DC for quite a while now. As such, I've not done any updates to firmware or software from Sprint, and I was just wondering if I was safe to update the PRL and PRI?
Do I need newer radio/WiMax versions? I'm in a 4G area, so I'll need to have it functional.
My current info:
PRI: 1.34_003
PRL: 60670
Baseband version: 2.15.00.07.28
Software #: 3.26.651.6
I've been reading some of the related threads and I think I'll be OK to update, but I just want to make sure.
Thanks!

[Q] No 3g :(. Which radio to use in Korea (SK Telecom) for 2.2?

I have an HTC desire that is rooted with an International 2.2 ROM on it. Everything besides 3G (voice, text, gps, wifi) is working great. I was wondering which radio I need to use to be able to get 3G. I read that Froyo requires a certain radio but Froyo hasn't been release for the Desire in Korea yet so I don't know if the Korean Froyo radio is available yet.
Info:
Radio: 5.09.00.08
HBoot: 0.80
Android version: 2.2
Baseband version: 32.42.00.32U_5.09.00.08
Kernel version: 2.6.32.15-gf9c0527
Build number: 2.2 FRF91
Software number: 2.09.405.8
Thank you for all of you help.

[Q] Did I use the "official" update.zip version?

Hi,
I have seen threads making reference to a Froyo "B" and a "D" rev of the OTA update. not sure if one version was a 'leaked' pre-release or what but I used one to upgrade my bone stock 2.1 Dinc.
I am now not sure if I used the correct version as there are many download links to the update file on the site.
My current info after the update is:
kernel version 2.6.32.15-gb7b01d1 htc-kernel 'at sign' and18-2#1
Build number 3.21.605.1 CL231334 release-keys
software nunber 3.21.605.1
browser version webkit 3.1
Did I use the right version? If not, what is the steps to get the right version installed?

Could this be the culprit for 4g dropping out?

I dont think that downgrading will solve your issue with 4G but it is possible by flashing one of the radios here. Keep in mind that flashing a radio is a very delicate operation as if it fails your phone will be bricked.
yeah I dont want to mess with the radios. I see that my 4g strength is fair. and reading around about the 4g signal, it seems that its pretty weak. So maybe my phone cannot accept the signal well? Sucks...
This is FAR fetched but I have one of those TPU cases on my phone. Would that hinder the signal? Just wondering because like Ive said 1000 times, my dads phone is here and sits on 4g all day.
Now that I think about it. I can take my phone back with no problem since im under the 30 days, Maybe I should flash a new radio, but how can I flash a new PRI?
I updated my RAdio and my WiMAX the same as his. Sure its taboo but I can take this piece back if it fails. I did a nand in Amon 1.8 too.
well both the Radio and WiMAX didnt help as expected, wonder whats up.. All my RSAs and MACs match up and everything is good. I just dont hold a signal like my dads phone does. The 4g sucks with my phone. I'll see how it is driving around tomorrow. Kinda wanted to rock 4g at home tho..

How can I get that PRI version? Like I said above I did both the WiMAX and Radio and nothing helped. I did profile and PRL updates and restarted and still hasnt popped on yet. Like I said, I knowit works its just not that great here in the house.
Updated the radio to 2.15.00.09.01
NV to 1.71.003
PRI to 1.77_003
WiMAX to 26023
rebooting after profile and prl update... We'll see if it helps.
Once again checked my RSAs and MACs and they are all good. So I still have 4G, just still not getting anything here at home.. I ran wimax_mtd, ls /data/misc/wimax/ and cat /dev/mtd/mtd0 | grep RSA

[Q] can't activate used htc evo, has skyraider 4.2 on it please help

I purchased a used sprint htc evo 4g but cannot get it activated. I've been told by customer service that the phone was rooted when this skyraider 4.2 thing was put on it. Not familiar with any of these terms but was told by a few people I could unroot the phone. I've looked all over the internet and couldn't find anything that I could understand. I feel stupid asking this but I would really like to use this phone.
Here is the software info from the phone (not sure if it helps)
Android version: 2.2
Baseband version: 2.15.00.11.19
Kernel version: 2.6.32.27-netarchy-toastmod-4.3.4-cfs-havs-more-nosbc
Build number: Evo 4g SkyRaider
Software number: SkyRaider For Evo 4g Version 4.2
Browser version: WebKit 3.1
PRI version: 1.90_003
PRL version: 60686
ERI version: not available
I also did the whole power button / volume down button thing and it says:
Supersonic evt3 ship s-off
Hboot-2.10.0001
Microp-041f
Again, i'm not sure if any of this helps. I spent money on this phone and can't get my money back so i need to figure out how to activate. Thank you
You need to flash a Sense ROM. You can't activate while running AOSP.
