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] 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

Finding out my RUU version

Sup,
I was just wondering if there is a way to figure out which ruu version my phone came with. I'm all rooted and aint goin back if Idont have to but just in case something goes wrong and I have to unroot. Thanks in advance.

RUU's are an exe file that basically flashes things to your phone instead of recovery. if your rooted all you need to know is you never take any OTA's and you will never lose root, just flash the updated ROM of choice. The only reason you would really need to even have an RUU is if you wanted to lose root

Yeah I just been seeing people having problems going back to stock with some RUUs. And I seen around quite a bit that if you use the exact ruu that came with your phone you wont have any issues. Maybe I dont have to but rather take the "safer" route. So I rooted a long time ago and have no idea what ruu I was on. This is what I do know about my stock phone.

You'll probably want to use the 3.29. The 3.70 may work for you but it's probably safer to use the older one and then let the phone update itself afterward.

[Q] Help Needed... Why is the Evo so hard to Root?

After having looked at the EVO threads for the last 3 days, I cannot figure out how to root my friends Evo. I have an Epic 4G and have previously worked upon the Incredible and HTC Hero. I have never had any issues rooting and or installing CWM or custom ROMs. I am beginning to think the Evo is a POS but I know that not to be true. Maybe I am just becoming frustrated with trying numerous methods including xHausx’s auto root method and having nothing work. Currently SetCPU is working with root rights but no other application that needs root rights including ROM manager will work. I can’t even install Clockwork Mod let alone find the correct thread so that I can install it. Next, there are no backups for this phone and my friend never backed up his RSA or Wimax keys. Basically, here is where the phones stands as of now… can anyone tell step by step of how to get back to stock 2.2 aka Froyo with Wi-Fi, Bluetooth and 4G working?

Not sure what you've been reading, but I had no problems rooting following this guide
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=829045
It is more involved than any of the 'auto' methods, but you also learn a great deal along the way.
What have you tried and what issues have you run into?
At this point, it may be a good idea to run RUU to bring it back to 100% stock before trying the method above.

what happened when you tried unrevoked or did you try that method?

From my understanding CWM sucks (sorry koush). Get Amon-Ra for recovery.
Can't think of a witty tag line. . . Swyped from my Warm Evo.

It's not that hard if you know what you're doing. The fact that it still has S-On means it's not rooted.
Before you root this phone update all the radios first. Go to Menu > Settings > System Updates and update the Profile, PRL, and HTC Software. From there read the following articles before you attempt to root again and possibly brick your friend's phone.

how do you have 2.10 hboot with 2.1???? and your baseband and software numbers are not matching up either, you are either on a different rom or took the most recent OTA then downgraded back to 2.1 which stock isnt capable.

I see your problem. Your friend's EVO is still running the original 2.1 software. You just need to run Simple Root. I don't have a link since I'm posting from tapatalk but it should be easy enough to find with a search.

Good idea, I didn't notice the hboot issue before. Best thing to do is run the 3.70 RUU and then root using a method that's compatible with 3.70. I haven't kept up on the latest root methods so I don't really know which is the best one to use

I am trying to get my facts straight but I can tell you 1 click easy root on Evo did not work on my friends Evo and so the name is somewhat misleading. On the Epic4G, 1 click root works on every Epic. That is the big difference but I thank you for your reply.

I've seen good results from the xhausx methods, he provides support with issues during the rooting process and that impressed me
he walked another person that was having issues rooting the other day, was very knowledgeable

[Q] Returning from the Dead

Hello Supersonic Community,
I come to you in my time of need, I have spend the last 3 days at work trying to downgrade an Evo 4g to 2.1. from 2.2.
Initially I ran unrEVOked3 reflash package as from what I read it would probably be the easiest place to start from an unrooted 2.2.
Once I was rooted on 2.2 I followed the guide from here
and used the RUU/Zip files from here
I currently have the phone in a state where it will only load into the bootloader and I do have a working amon ra recovery.
When I try flashing the RUU's PC36img.zip file from hboot I see that it "checks" the zip file however I am not prompted to run the update.
and when trying to run the RUU zip file from recover it says there is not update script.
My main question is if anyone knows why I am not prompted for the update from Hboot or if its possible to flash from recovery back to stock 2.1
I come from a Nexus S and HTC Desire background and have a bit of knowledge just kinda stumped right now on this one. I am currently trying different SD cards for the hboot flash as I have read that it can be a bit finicky.
Thanks in advance for any help.

It all goes back to the Hboot version you have. I think it's anything over 2.10 you can't downgrade.
I think your best bet is to just flash a stock/Rooted 2.1 ROM or a custom Froyo ROM

Well my HBoot is .79 so I hopefully can recover to 2.1.
I basically can't have a rooted phone, I work in mobile QA and we can't test on devices that are rooted. Which I know is a bit retarded but thats how it works for us right now.
If I flash a stock 2.1 rooted Rom I should be able to unroot.... at the very least uninstalled su and my boss won't know hehe
Thanks for your reply.

Did your phone come with that hboot? If your hboot and radio match the ruu you are trying to flash, then it should be good to go. If you r s-off while trying, even better. Do you have 20k or 40k block sizes?

**********HBOOT VERSION IS .79 *************** TYPO IN OP
That would be the Hboot it came with these are testing devices at my work. they are ALL STOCK unless i personally change it as no one else here handles the android phones.
I am unsure of the 20/40 k block sizes you are referring too do you mean on my sd card?

So i have successfully flash a rooted 2.1 stock rom and am trying to uninstall super user. If anyone has any tips on this let me know
