I just recently got an epic 4g touch. how do i receive new modem updates without rooting the phone. My last update was EL29.
You won't receive any modem updates until it's offical and pushed by sprint, but you could download the modem and odin it onto your phone without rooting it.

I have the stock ROM and accepted the OTA update. So I am not rooted in any way now.
Is there a way for me to find my wimax firmware and MAC?
A little history:
I got my evo a few weeks ago and unrevoked. Then decided to full root with simpleroot. Becuase I was not getting 4g (chicago burbs so I should have it) I decided to RUU back to stock and accept the OTA update.
Download the full RUU here:

I thought that file was completely stock. Does it have root?
Thanks for yr reply but I guess I don't understand. That RUU is completely stock from HTC.
How will it help me find my wimax firmware and MAC?
Go to the dialer and dial ##33284# it will take you to "Field Trial" from there go to "WIMAX Engineering", that screen will have your WIMAX firmware info.
If 4g is connected or just scanning, go to settings->about phone->hardware information it should display 4g MAC address....also, MAC address is on the sticker of the box of the Evo

I see that we've managed to get our hands on a copy of the EG30 Modem, Huzzah! See: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1381632
That's all well and good, but has anyone gotten the OTA update notification after flashing back? I used Odin to head back, hoping to get the official OTA. (I had previously unrooted and flashed the .tar file to go back to stock with the EG31 modem.
Looking on Sprint's site for the update (Here) I noticed that my baseband version is: S: D710.0.10S.EG30
And the Sprint website lists the official build as being: S: D710.0.5S.EG30.
Does this mean I'm still SOL on an OTA? (I don't seem to get the notification and a manual check doesn't pull anything up for me)
Or can I flash the update from recovery now that I'm on a version of EG30?
Thanks!
Sprint website has a typo. The version you have is what it should be.
They pick the MEIDs to get the update in a pseudo-random fashion.
Oh ok. Good to know. I'll just be more patient then. Thanks.
Can you provide any more insight into the selection process?
This is for my wifes phone. I got the notification for the EL29 update and she did not. She is still running EK02 and when I check for updates it says phone is up to date. Any help would be great.
thanks
They pick phone IDs by random to receive the update. If your number hasn't been chosen, no matter how much you check, it won't download.
You will be receiving the update soon, don't trip.
Dumb they go by phone ids...should be region release...like zip codes or whatever...I know of a few people that already have it yet Im still waiting...

Hi, this is a question that has not been asked so far (searched and read many links) --
I have MB855 Photon 4G from Sprint, and want to leave them, but use it as GSM on a different network (T-Mobile or ATT).
So far I know:
1) I need to have the bootloader unlocked to flash a new radio (http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1664212)
2) have to actually do it...
But, the problem is that I unknowingly updated to xxxx 245_13 (latest as of today) OTA (over the air) update from Sprint sometime in July or August.. and now I can no longer unlock the bootloader, or can I?
What if I just used RSD update to flash the stock SBF to xxxx_198_7 (sunfire Sprint rom)?
Would that bring me back to "2.3.4" build? Has someone done it?
(I see no relevant answers that are more recent than July/August)
Please, help me understand why that would not work?
My phone is rooted and has the bootstrap recovery, can I flash something through it instead?
