[Q]0004 HW , which rom?

first time poster here , ive been reading alot of different info about rooting for the evo as i am new to all of this. I just got my evo this past dec and its not rooted(yet) ,i plan on puting on myn's warm rom but one FAQ/post that particularly bothers me is a quote from the following found at android central
Hardware Version 004:
--
Just a tip for after this process is complete, if you have Hardware Version 004 you need to run a ROM built off of the latest Sprint kernel (as of now, I'm sure aosp builds like Cyanogen will update after the source is released) for the camera to work. These hardware versions have new camera hardware. The kernel that works is from the Sprint/HTC 3.7 software release.

so my question is which rom/roms are compatible?(noticed that myn's is based off of 3.30 so im not sure if i can even use that) or is this info out of date or am i missing some information? , i just want all of my evo's features working, suggestions on roms would be appreciated
my evo specs are
Hardware Version: 0004
stock htc kernal
3.70 OTA
HBoot: 2.10
using 64bit win 7 also.
thanks in advance =)

this info you have quoted is out of date. htc (happily) released the #15 kernel source, which is fully compatible accross the board. myn took a long vacation, so if i were you, i would either flash one of the nightly roms he is making (despite the name, not every night though. maybe 3 times a week at most. my phone is getting sore from lack of flashing) or just wait for the stable release.
btw, welcome to the forums, and hopefully to root. i know a few people that would be happy to help you if you are stuck or having problems rooting. i am one of them. my info is all in my sig. just contact me and i will be happy to help you. even if you want a hand-holding walkthrough (but you seem more independent than that. you read!!!)

thanks for the reply dk. what about the #17 kernel's source?, im leaning torwards flashing a more stable rom, any suggestions for a solid one?, and thanks if i run into any problems i will message you

The kernel source for 17 hasn't been released yet that I have heard. For a stable rom I would recommend Myn's TwoPointTwo. The public release of RLS 5 is out tomorrow which will have all of the updated stuff. I might be a little biased as I am a user of Myn's rom, but I could also recommend Fresh to you as well. It all really depends on what you want out of a rom. If you like Htc Sense, then stick to either one of those and I would say Myn's. If you don't like Sense, go with Cyanogen.

If you're trying to flash an out of date rom, go get the #15 kernel from the dev section of this forum. Then all you need is to downgrade your PRI to 1.77 and you'll be able to flash any rom you want.
Enjoy!
I have hardware 0004.
Flash the rom first,
flash the #15 kernel (whichever one you want/like)
flash the PRI downgrade last (you can also find all PRI/radio/etc versions in the dev section)
nandroid first
wipe cache/dalvik between each flash.
Myn's rls5 (which will be released 1/7/11 for everyone), mikfroyo and the stock rom are all compatible with the hardware WITHOUT the PRI downgrade. The #15 kernel is recommended anyway, you might as well get it now.

what are the differences between #15 and #17?
leaning torwards myn's. not even rooted yet haha
i will see what happens in the next few days and report back(in the middle of moving), thanks for the info so far

I would also suggest virus roms. He makes amazing roms. As long as you have kernel 15, you should be able to flash any rom , I believe (anyone feel free to correct me). I dunno, I guess, I try to keep up with the new releases, I don't have hw 0004, but I know others who do who also run virus roms (I suppose it's just a matter of the kernel). Listen to others more than me
But welcome.

Hi there,
I have too a 004 Evo with the 2.10 hboot, and I rooted it with that method u posted and am currently running Myn's RLS4 with the latests radio, nv and wimax BUT with the pri at 1.77 and using netarchy's 4.2.3 kernel without any problems whatsoever, so from my pov you're good to go...
And fwiw, I am using latest RA's....

Just have one more question,do I need to flash updated radios our can I just leave them?
I'm not really sure what the benefits of updated ones are..I've read some scary stuff after people flashing radios, in combo at least

ok, first of all, kernel 15 is newer than 17 for some wird reaosn. 15 was just released on the 3.70 ota. sidology, the updated radios are just the newest released. all root methods besides unrevoked downgrade you waaaay back (to the first software release i think?) in order to exploit the phone. this is why you need to upgrade your radios back. myns 5 is out now, so you have no worries anymore. just root, and flash!
i may not be available to helping you root (i need to train some rats this week homework sucks) but i am free tomorrow and most weekends and will do all i can.

thanks for clearing that up =S, i thought 17 was newer lol. i havent rooted just yet, trying to gather info as i go , i still plan on using the 2.02/2.10 guide in my OP and just re flashing sprint lovers with the radio combo since im not sure if the one in the guide uses that one, then flash to myn's L5
just a side thought: i dont see many posts about people using unrevoked 3.3 much, if it doesnt downgrade radios shouldnt it be easier?
EDIT: just read that unrevoked is an easier method at bricking some peoples phones ,so nevermind lol
anyway thanks alot for the replys and info, its very much appreciated

unrevoked can sometimes brick people, or just corrupt your radio. if you dont mind wiping, then root manually. much safer, and you get to figure out how to actually so some stuff.

[q] root help

Hi all genius guys,
I got htc dhd running android 2.3. It's not rooted yet. I like to root my phone if it's safe so, I love to test the new sense 3.0. I was wondering how should I root my phone that running android 2.3. Is the new sense 3.0 stable on htc dhd. Can I back up my current ROM and can I recover it back to it's original state incase any problem occurs.
Hope It's making sense. since I don't know much about android.
Many Thanks

Hey, welcome
Have a look here
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1122021
Second post has a lot of links and info you would need
quick question do you know if you're dhd is vers 2.3.7? If so no root as yet...
Otherwise follow info above , you're apps etc stay with google, so make sure you sync.
You can back up sms , browse the market for that one.
Returning to stock is not too hard, you can find stock ruu's within xda to bring you back to ground...
Most of all read up well , spend some time and then attempt rooting you're phone so as to have a little understanding.
Sense 3.0 is great, you have lots of choices , try 'unity' , very promising, and good support there , personally looking into ' beatmod flyersense' a port of the flyer rom.
Anyway that should get you started.

[Q] [HELP] 3G/Voice not working (Verizon)

I recently rooted my Incredible using unrevoked 3.22 downgrade to Froyo to achieve s-off method. I flashed CM9 Kang - Release a8 last night, and now if someone tries to call me, it will ring once on their end and goes to voicemail. I recall seeing in some tutorial something about a 3-digit "*xxx" to dial for provisioning 3G on Verizon, but I can't recall the number nor find it now, nor do I know if this affects voice calls. My "About Phone" info is as follows:
Model number: ADR6300
Android version: 4.0.4
Baseband version: 2.15.00.07.28
Kernel version: [email protected]
CyanogenMod version: 9.0.0-RC0a8-inc-UNOFFICIAL
Build number: IMM76D
Could someone please help me find the number and figure out why I cannot receive calls?

Try * 22899 and let it reprogram. Also, you may want to upgrade your radio to a newer version. 7/28 is a Froyo radio.
...sorry...I was on the phone...

TYVM! WOW I love how helpful and FAST people on XDA are!
Do you have a recommendation for a good radio I should use?

I use the 12/19 EVO radio...good signal here. 7/07 works good, too. Different results in different areas. See what works best for you.
...sorry...I was on the phone...

Thanks! I'll give both a try and report back on which works best up here in the Northwest.
Just to double check, I flash a radio from a .zip through CWRecovery just like I would a ROM, right?

No. Put it on the root of your SD card. It should be named PB31IMG.zip
Flash through hboot.
...sorry...I was on the phone...

Glad I double checked! But I do remember that from when I first rooted now.
Thanks again!

Hi all,
So, I have read and read and read till my eyes are RED! I (actually a co-worker and I) rooted my evo-4g over a year ago and it has been awesome having a rooted phone. Only a couple of quirks along the way but generally no major issues to speak of. I would like to update the ROM/kernel with one of the latest/stable that is available (not quite sure how new I can go with this phone but I want to continue to use what is stable) but I am totally in the dark as to what is best/stable and how to tell...Yes, I know, search for it, someone else has posted it, I did and I cannot find it...If you want to slam me go ahead but also please point me ion the correct direction for the requested info.
Here is the info on my phone:
Sprint evo-4g
Model: PC36100
Android Ver: 2.3.5
Baseband Ver: 2.15.00.0808

I have found so far, the one I like the most is the new cm9 mod that Deck posted on 7-3.
I am a noob at this too, and haven't had my question answered either.
But so far, I like this one the best:
cm_supersonic-ota-eng.deck.zip posted on 7/3 by deck.
Can't post the link, I am too new here.

Thanks for the great info. Now I just have to re-read up on how to update to a newer ROM....wish me luck!!
Thanks very much again for answering my post!!

[Q] First Time Rooting

So I've never rooted a phone before but I want to start.
I bought this old Droid Incredible from ebay and am trying to get basically the most up to date version of Android on it. I'm doing some app development so something that is as up to date as possible is nice.
I've been reading all the different posts and whatnot on how to do this. However it seems that half the links are dead because the posts are 2 years old.
So if anyone can help me with just some steps on how to root my phone and put one of the most updated ROMS on it I would quite appreciate it.

Here's an excellent guide for rooting the Droid Incredible:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1600904
You only need steps 1 through 3 of that guide to get root and be able to flash custom roms, though if you want to go the whole way and disable the secure boot flag on the radio, you can follow the guide to the end, it works.
The latest stock rom is Gingerbread. There are newer custom roms, the newest one being this one, which is kitkat:
