I've been out of the loop for a lil bit now and came back and you guys have moved FAAAAAR forward. Further than I can possibly catch up/figure out in a couple of days. So I figured I'd ask for help.
What do I need to do to stay updated?
Here are my stats:
Firmware version: 2.1
Baseband version: 1.39.00.05.31
Kernel version: 2.6.29-a2443432 (next line) [email protected] #1
Build number: BuglessBeast v0.3 Beta (I actually like this ROM a lot so I will keep this UNLESS needed to change.)
Software number: 1.32.651.6
Browser version: Webkit 3.1
PRI Version: 1.34_003
PRL Version: 01337 (I'm using the TechKnowFile's trick)
nothing, of you like buglessbeast then stay otop of that thread. there was a ota update that kicked people out of root, and some other things im sure, but until buglesspete puts a new version out, wait.
or jump on another rom.

Do not do the OTA update.. like Nenn said follow your prefer Chef's post for updates on his ROM..
I haven't been able to successfully scan any barcodes in the last few days. I can't remember if it ever worked since I updated to the leaked Froyo. I can't find any other mention of this on the forums and I don't want to try to go back to stock in case that isn't the problem.
I popped off the dust cover and cleaned out the dust under it and on the lens. No difference.
Here's what the software page on my phone says:

I was on 2.2 from SkyRaider 2.5.2 and it was working fine with Barcode Scanner 3.4... That was today.
I'm using Adrynalyne's FrankenROM and the barcode scanner was working for me earlier today.....
I'm using aiccucs lite 3.2 and don't have any problems with my barcode scanner. Perhaps if you need to try a different rom. Then if it still doesn't work go backwards and see if it's the camera.
I'm on the 2.2 leak from 8/1 and it works fine for me
Thanks for the replies folks! It worries me a bit that if no one else is experiencing it, I hope it is a hardware problem. Hopefully a different rom or will work. I'll try this coming weekend and see what happens.
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.

http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=829045
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.
sooooooooooooo i just got my evo today (from the sprint store) and have been doing some reading about rooting. i went to a wiki and saw that the current build can't be rooted yet. in my device information it says i have build number 4.22.651.2. that can't be rooted yet right? I also would like to know where the best place is to start learning about rooting and roms and everything (kernals and everything i need to know so I don't mess this bad boy up). I used to have a TP2 that I knew how to flash but this is a totally different ball game. thanks in advance for the help. everybody at xda is and has always been great and very helpful.
Go to the forum portal page and look for the android section and go to chef central

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!
