[Q] Roomate wants to download official Froyo OTA

Hello all,
My roommate and I each have EVO phones. Both of us are rooted and running CM6. However, my roommate is complaining of no 4g and wants to go back to original HTC Sense Froyo. I tried to talk him out of it but to no avail. However, neither of us know how to do the official Froyo OTA. Any help on as to how?
Thanks
*Edit* He doesn't want root anymore because he wants to updated PRI

There is a link on here somewhere to the original HTC RUU file. From what I can tell, if you use a Sprint-provided RUU, you run the risk of losing the ability to root forever, but the HTC one wont.
I went from rooted and nand-unlocked back down to stock with the RUU. Once you are stock, then you qualify for the regularly pushed OTA updates.

Want to lose root? Use the leaked 'official' RUU here

Want to keep root? Boot into recovery, complete wipe and flash the following

Edit: Also make sure your RPI will get updated by flashing that RUU.

STOP!!!!!!! Your roommate WILL NOT GET THE UPDATED PRI IF HE UNROOTS AND GOES OFFICIAL!!!! You have to wait for pri fix. The only way right now to get the new pri is to call insurance tell them whatever, drop ur phone in the toilet, pay the $100 and wait for a new phone. Trust me i know everything about this phone. As for 4g, tell him to run calkulins rom with netarchys kernal better battery life than cm6 and he will have 4g no problem. Hope this helps.

Rooting, 3.30, and other problems

Ok. I just got my EVO Tuesday and while I cannot confirm for sure that i had 3.30 to begin with I am pretty sure I did.
Not knowing that the guide i was following to root the device was for an older version I attempted to root, and bricked the phone. I managed to restore the phone using "RUU_SuperSonic_S_Sprint_WWE_3.29.651.5_Radio_2.15.00.09.01_NV_1.77_CNV_release_150224_signed.exe" and I was back to normal....or so i thought
Now the camera/camcorder does not work. I am assuming that my phone was 3.30 and the 3.29.651 I am on now doesnt speak to the camera the same way. It was rumored the 3.30 builds had camera fixes so this makes sense.
Here are my actual questions, with number 1 being the biggest and most important to me at the moment:
1. How do i get back to the 3.30 version the phone came with? IS there a RUU similar to what i used for 3.29 to restore the phone? Where can i get this?
2. If i cant get back to 3.30, is there any way to fix the camera?
3. How can I successfully root 3.29.651? Ive tried every guide i have found here, unrevoked 3, and the one touch rooter programs, but none seem to work. They all fail applying the radio image with FAIL-PU
I appreciate any support and thanks in advance to everyone who can help

Is it a 0004 hardware?? If it is then it came w 3.30 pre installed. Idk how another rom can break the cam i think its the kernel that plays a roll w the cam.. i could be wrongg tho. Try flashing to a 3.30 build rom theres plenty around. I suggest calk rom or go bare bone stock its over by babiboi thread, two versions deodexed and odexed see what u find bro

Do you have a link to this rom? Can I install this if i am not rooted? I have not been able to root to get to any custom rom

my hardware version is 0003
when i run unrevoked 3 it says rooting success, but here are the last few lines before it fails:
this was triumph
rebooting
when bootloader starts choose hboot usb ----- never goes to bootloader after this restart goes right to phone
i reboot it manually and choose hboot usb
running pre reboot sequence
waiting for reboot
internal error, couldnt find misc
or this happens
scanned a lot of files fast
rebooting
bootloader starts, choose hboot usb
waiting for hboot to be ready
running preboot sequence
waiting for reboot
running root
waiting for root
this was a triumph,reboots to andriod desktop while program says when bootloader starts choose hboot usb
reboot phone manually
waiting for hboot
communication with phone unexpectantly inturrupted, try again

I just replaced my busted EVO for a new one. Has the new 3.30 in it, hardware is 003. After rooting I lost camera/video due to the PC36IMG I had used while rooting. I installed Myns Warm 2.2 rev3 and got camera/video back, so far that's the only one I can get it on. Just for SnG's I changed out kernels to Kings, and sure enough lost camera and vid. Reflashed 2point2 rev3 with stock HTC kernel and back to working cam. Hopefully this will help. I haven't tried Sprint Lovers yet, but I would imagine it would work the same as Myn's. Any other rom I have run (MIUI _CM6.1) no camera again.

[Q] Unrevoked tanked my radio? Im so confused..

So before I decided to flash unrevoked forever I was happily flashing through roms
without any worries..maybe flip flopping between the GB and Froyo without going above
And beyond a standard 2x wipe had something to do with this?
I go back to the 6.11 radio from 5.6 so I can flash the unrevoked forever. I flash the radio,get
rid of the pmb file and put URF in the root of SD and flash it in recovery,no error messages
and next I boot a custom splash,all is well..
I decide to go back to the new radio leak
I realize hours later that I can't send or receive txt or make calls;big red basically was
Rejecting my phone. After much searching I give up
I turned s back on and gave em a ring,basically I had to use the dialer to open up the radio and change like one #,then all was gravy with service. I'm now happily re rooted and running magnolia(i love this Rom)
Sorry it was so long winded but,what did I do wrong?
Did URF screw the radio?
Do I even need to use URF?
Was it the ROM switching?

To go to s-off all you do is flash the s-off file in clockwork, there is no other steps... Maybe I'm not understanding your problem.
But flashing radios can cause the problems you had.

Well from what I'm reading,after rooting with unrevoked I don't need URF...it says s-off
In hboot as is. My main concern is what could I have done to loose service to my phone.
Was it flashing the radio back and forth?
Was it from flashing too many roms and not wiping properly?
Was it because I ran Unrevoked Forever when I didn't need to?
I just want to make sure that something like this does not happen again

I would say maybe, but I also have noticed that after I flash a radio my phone won't connect to verizon. A couple of Airplane Toggles here and there kicks it back up....I always thought it was these CM7 nightlys
Or maybe I have a different problem all together and I'm just adding to the mess!

What I'm wondering is,do I even need to run unrevoked forever if I ran unrevoked? It says s-off in the bootloader. Is it possible that its a bug in URF¿

Unrevoked is supposed to be a one step program, roots the phone and ads s-off so there is no reason to run Unrevoked Forever and doing so could possibly mess up your phone. The instructions for Unrevoked were very clear about this when I used it last. And yes flashing radios can result in your phone not working thats why they usually come with a discalimer, flash at your own risk.

Might be noobish advice, but have you tried *228?

[Q] Stuck in limbo, need help!

I have posted several stuff about a situation I am having with my phone.... and I still cannot get it solved fully. I hope I can do it here.
I will try and summarize the situation with some key points.
First here is my current info....
Android Version 2.2.1
Baseband Version 2.15.00.03.04
Kernel Version [email protected]#2
Build Number 1.05.970.1 CL339957 release keys
Software number 1.05.970.1
PRI version 2.11_01c
PRL version 01001
Model Number PC36100
Supersonic DVT1 Ship S-ON
HBOOT-6.17.0001
MICROP-041f
TOUCH PANEL-ATMEL224_20aa
RADIO-2.15.00.03.04
Now I first rooted using revolutionary and got s-off properly.... I played with some roms and found it fun but not enough time to keep at it..... so I decided to s-on and go back to stock using un-revoked. That semi worked.... I got s-on.... but never lost the root. I still have recovery and everything still shows I have root except s-on.
Additionally, I tried to run the stock kddi ruu and i have gotten every error from 140, 170, 171 and even at one time 130...lol still no luck there. In doing all of that I figured out that the image version on my phone is 4.24.651.1 and I need to get to 1.05.970.1 (the stock kddi evo 4g) but cannot get it done.
Also I am HBOOT-6.17.0001 which is confusing in itself. xhausx helped me by giving me a nanadroid version of my kddi rom but that doesn't allow me to update anything and finding updates here is impossible unless I am running stock without root.
I am not sure if I need to flash a new misc partition, wipe my nand or something else and so not know how to do all of that..... can someone please please please help? I am willing to toss a small reward your way if we get me back to when I bought it.

I think you need to run the RUU for your phone; get it back to out of the box, stock, and just start over.

You have a Japanese Evo, right?
Since it's a different phone, most of the people here will not be able to help you. I could tell you what to do if you had a American Evo, but it would probably either error out or further your problem.
Is there a forum for your specific version? Do things generally work the same as our Evos... like can you use the same RUU that I would use?

The fact that I have a Japanese evo doesn't mean that anyone will not be able to help me. This is actually the place where the developers made the first RUU for the Japanese evo to begin with. There are plenty of pro's here.... we just need to find the right solution for me. Additionally, most everything works the same.... I cannot use the same RUU as you because the cid will come up different and cause me more probs.

[Q] Gaining S Off in HBOOT 2.19 to get WiFi working

Hello one and all!
So I have been playing with new ROM's for my EVO Supersonic. My Daily Driver is AlienwareMod Solar Flare Series V and LOVE it!
So I have been given an old EVO was going to play with it and explore new ROM's. I had rooted it about 2 years ago and she kept stock Sense on it so for some reason I left S-On. Although I am unlocked in the bootloader, and I have been reading on several forums that I dont need to have S Off anymore to load a rom, I seem to be having a common problem that I have been reading about. I can load custom ROM's on just fine, but when I fire up the WiFi the system slows down, and the WiFi cant lock on to a SSID. know the SSID sites are good and I have been trying to narrow donn the problem and have it down to these...
1. I need to achieve S-Off. Although I have many of files for when I did my personal root/unlock I dont have the all and MikMik's site dosnt have hem anymore.
2. I have partitiond a small 2G SD card with Ext3. The Kernel may not tolerate this? I have the stock Lionfish on but have tried others with no sccess on Ext2, Ext3 or Ext4 formatting.
3. I have not 'actvated' the phone on my Sprint Account. Is there maybe some files it would need to download?
4. Recovery. I am using ZZzRemove to really clean the phone... and use the 'Stock" ammon Ra to wipe x3. I prefer SmelMod but cant load a new recovery becuase it locks with a message PC360IMG Parcing.
5. HBOOT 2.18. I think i remember something about how this was locked??
I am thinking I will need to do a RUU to get an earlier version of HBOOT in order to get SOFF. But again, is that mission critical to getting the WiFi to work?
So I am stuck with a bit of a mental bootloop! Any thoughts would be welcome! Screenshots will be loaded of my Recovery and Bootloader upon request......
Thanks!

Your issue sounds like it could be hardware-related. Whether or not you're S-off should have no bearing on how well WiFi works. S-off simply means that the bootloader security is off and should not affect how or when WiFi works. As far as the files needed to gain S-off, shoot @Captain_Throwback a PM. He was the OP of the thread over on the MikMik page regarding rooting & S-off with the latest Hboot. As far as running a older RUU, you won't be able to since you're S-on.
Sent from my HTC EVO 4G LTE

I recommend this site/guide: http://androidforums.com/evo-4g-all...-rooting-gingerbread-2-3-5-dummies-guide.html
All the files you need should be there. As for the WiFi issue, that seems to be more device than software related. Being unlocked versus S-OFF won't affect your WiFi signal.

First of all it is an honor to have you reply Captain! I have been going over a lot of posts on here for a few years and have seen much of your handywork. I know the link you sent very well, that is what I used to Root/Rom my Daily Driver Evo with great success!
I will go back and revisit it again, but according to all the comments so far, I wont need S-Off since I wont be doing too many flashes. What is keeping me from just running the Revolutionary Utility is because it seems the S-Off utility requres HBOOT 2.16 or lower.
If I could, a few thoughts. I know that S-Off doesnt driectly affect the WiFi but I was curious if it was a Kernel issue and I have read that you cannot load a kernel successfully without a custorm, quality recovery and you cannot load a recovery without S-Off. I know when I had the phone at first I could jump on WiFi's easy-peasy... but when I loaded any ROMS (Sense, non Sense, JB variants etc etc.) the WiFi's just wont fire up or connect.
Ironicly, I was messing with the phone with a Odexed Sense Rom (rooted stock) it did connect today (after giving hassle for 2 days I just put it down and left it for a while). Maybe I am just being impatient? I have read that sometimes new ROM's and kernels take a few days to 'settle' in. Sorta like the Matrix!!
As an asside.. .and not part of this thread..... With Kit Kat using ART and not Devalk is there hope new life with these older phones?
Thanks to all!

You can install a custom recovery without being S-off. You can install it from the SD card via the bootloader or by using fastboot commands. From there you can flash a custom kernel. You obviously have a custom recovery installed already if you are flashing ROM's. I never flashed any custom kernels on my EVO when I ran Sense, but it helps to read the OP of any ROM or kernel thread to make sure that there aren't any issues with Wifi functionality. Do you have issues with a particular router you're trying to connect to or just Wifi in general? Did you have issues with WiFi when the phone was totally stock?

Great questions! Let me give you some answers!!
I rooted this phone about 2 years ago so dont remember all of my handywork. It is running
*****UNLOCKED******
HBoot- 2.18.0001
Radio - 2.15.00.12.19
Dec 21 2011
I probably used Revolution to do so. I did it with mine! When I got this phone a month ago, I factory reset it and Launched WiFi with no problems. I was using my home router which has had no problems with any other devices.
Only when I started to flash a ROM (I have tried team DIRT unofficial 4.2.2 as well as Thundershock, Nitro, and Jellybread) they all would load fine and be responsive until I tried to launch the WiFi and then it would either be stuck on scanning, or just drop out and then the operating system becomes unstable.
I then went back to a Sense Odexed Stock Gingerbread ROM and although I saw the WiFI launch and connect, it would drop out every few minutes.
I couldnt make a Nandroid since the recovery doesnt have that option. I am using RA-supersonice-v2.3 with ZZZVR_SUPERWIPE to flash.
I cant seem to load any other recoveries. I thought it was because I am still S-ON. It says Main Version is Older Update Fail! And that is using the RA-supersonic-v4.3-smelkusMOD
Any thoughts? I am willing to accept bad hardware, but seems like a weird coincidence that all of a sudden the WiFi would drop out.

Answered my own question
Update!
Well I have successfully ported my operating system to the new(er) EVO 4G that I got from my friend. Looks like I needed to contact Sprint and have them help me reset the PRL and MEID. The problem was I had to quick flash a Sense ROM in order to use the dial pad to input all the codes.
After that, I seems the ROM (Solar Flare Series V) is much more stable, and I think everyone else is right, the hardware may have issues since the Bluetooth and the WiFi seem to be dropping in and out.
And so... looks like I may load this up with a Media Based ROM to act as an entertainment device and looking to go jump on a Samsung Note 3.
If only I could somehow install a LTE receiver chip! Maybe I will post that question as a new thread.
