Develop Bugs

Noob is trying to update radio/prl/etc. and wondering if I have s-off.

I have been running CM7.03 ever since I got a little help last time I decided to root and try custom rom and I am now trying to update everything that needs updating also install new RC1 CM7 7.1. Whats the best/ easiest way to update profile/radio/etc. when your a noob with a basic understanding of flashing? Should I just restore old Sprint original rom and update like that or should I just flash new stuff? Please help noob get up to date because my 3g connection is a little weak compared to a couple months ago! How do I check to see if S-off and does new CM7 RC1 include any updated kernel/radio? Can someone please give me a short guide to getting updated and running new CM7 RC1 with EVO hardware ver. 4. Thanks Again I did learn alot last time but I am scared of bricking! What do I need to keep updated?

to get the newer radios go here http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=715485 after downloading (go for combo) put on sdcard and goto recovery wipe 2x min.(cache,dalvik) and you flash radios just like flashing a rom and then update profile , to check for s-off power down phone the press hold power and volume down bootloader screen will show something like this and it will say S-OFF or S-ON

hboot-2.10.0001
microp-041f
touch panel-atmel224_16ab
radio-2.14.00.05.02
etc.........
hope that helps

Beware when flashing and installing radios and such, do not pull the battery or let the battery fall out. Sure way to brick. Little different from flashing roms.

Yea, its not recommend flashing with below 35% battery. You CAN, but unless you're good at it, I wouldn't, especially with flashing radios. Normal flash, fine, radios, that's a no no.

I'm pretty sure that if you're running CM, you're S-Off....
Call it a whim, but, just sayin'

yeah forgot that part, thanks guys

[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.

if you have another RUU that I do not know about please let me know... because the one that I have from kddi is not working.
my current one is.... RUU_SuperSonic_K_KDDI_JP_1.05.970.1_Radio_2.15.00.03.04_NV_2.11_release_176711_signed.exe

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?

I was thinking if this will work somthing I might do if everything fails? Maybe you could try rooting it again and unroot?

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.

I have tried to run the root process again and it says in revolutionary that you already have s-off..... which in fact I do not.... and when I do the opposite process it just acts like its running the s-on and does nothing.

[Q] Revolutionary S-ON

Hello XDA members!
This is officially my first thread and folks I am in need of some help! Let me start off by letting everyone know, I have honestly done my best with searching for an answer on the forum and Google. Another thing is, I truly apologize for any inconvenience, if I make this thread in the wrong section of the forum or if this has been asked and solved already.
My whole goal is to take back my EVO 4G to my local Sprint store to either fix my 4G Antenna or get a refurbished Evo. If I luck up, I might get a substitution with a Evo 3D. That it is if there out of stock. I do have Asurion insurance and it has not exceeded the 90 day warranty the Evo 4G comes with from HTC.
Now on to the problem with the Evo 4G. I'm struggling to UNROOT and S-ON my Evo 4G from Revolutionary root. In my case, I'm no expert around this whole ordeal. I'm very familiar with rooting and friendly with guides. I've followed every guide that I came across, but still cannot S-ON my Evo 4G!
For those that would like to know when I boot into HBOOT I get the following:

*NOTE THAT "REVOLUTIONARY" NO LONGER SHOWS ON MY HBOOT SCREEN, ONCE I FLASHED AN S-ON IMAGE.
*NOTE THE DATE AND TIME ON MY HBOOT IS CLEARLY OUT OF DATE. IT SEEMS TO BE STUCK ON THAT TIME. I HAVE NO IDEA WHY, NOR DO I KNOW IF THIS COULD BE A FACTOR.
Folks I have tried just about everything that I can think of. I've downgraded my radio to see if it changed anything. (Nothing). I tried flashing different stock images to see if it changed anything. (Nothing). I tried running RUU's to see if that changed anything. (Nothing). I really don't know what's left for this bad boy. Is there any different way of changing the security flag on? adb, fastboot, terminal?
Any answers and help is greatly appreciated! Thanks and hope to get some feedback soon!

http://forum.xda-developers.com/sho...ighlight=ow+to+unroot+revolutionary???&page=2 go there and read captain throwbacks post, its post #15. i used that before and it did the trick.

You need to downgrade your radio again to the 2.15.00.11.19 or earlier radio then flash the unrevoked forever s-on tool to get S-on.

The unrEVOked S-ON zip will only work on the unsigned 6.17 HBOOT, however. So, the steps you'll need to take are:
1) Flash custom recovery via PC36IMG (Amon_Ra v2.3 recommended)
2) Downgrade radio to 2.15.00.11.19 or older
3) Flash modded 6.17 HBOOT
4) Flash unrEVOked S-ON zip through recovery.
You should be S-ON at that point, and then finally you flash a stock ROM (4.54 recommended) to restore your device completely to stock.

Hey folks!
I apologize for the long reply back guys. I'm currently away on vacation and haven't had time to check out the forum.
I will definitely try all of the advice posted! Once again, thank you very much! I really do appreciate it. I will get back to the thread and let you know how everything goes as soon as I can! I'm sorry for any inconvience.

[Q] Little to no service after root on incredible 2

I am not a advance user of rooting phones, etc. I know how to do it by reading and watching the youtube videos. The deal that I have with my phone is that I am getting little to no service at all. Even in places where I know I should have 4 bars! Most of the time I can't even make phone calls. I have tried the *223 option and this doesn't work. I rooted with the revolutionary. I have android 2.3.3. Here is what my boot says:
VIVO_W XB SHIP S-OFF RL
HBOOT-6.13.1002
RADIO-1.09.01.0622
eMMC-BOOT
APR 1, 2011, 18:34:39
Now is there a fix for this signal issue? Maybe an update for this device that I am missing. I just need it to get by until the end of the year! I just don't have $100 to fix this problem. Please help! I am stuck. I just need the signal to be fixed any maybe the app place to be updated.

.622 is a really old radio. Maybe try to flash a later one and see if that helps? Technically, if you flash the same radio you had before rooting, signal should be the same. With that said, some Roms (particularly Sense 4) display signal bars incorrectly. Best way to check signal would be to check the dbm value in About Phone.

[Q] Need Help Unrooting Please

I've been trying to unroot my phone today. It's time to take it in for an upgrade, and so I need to unroot and get it back to stock. I've been having a problem however when it comes to the PC36IMG.zip. I keep getting the error saying "Main version is older, update fail" and don't know what to do. I've tried several versions of the PC36IMG.zip much to no avail. If anyone could just spare a moment to help me out I'd be quite grateful. Here are the stats of my phone:
EVO 4G -
Supersonic EVT3 Ship S-ON

I rooted many moons ago using Unrevoked Forever, and hence ran the Unrevoked Forever Son zip to get S-ON instead of S-OFF. So the next step is just the PC36IMG. If any other information is needed, let me know. Thank you in advance, and I apologize if this is a noob question.

That information already looks stock. What is your software version? What file are you trying to flash? Any Gingerbread PC36IMG should work.

Software version is Android version correct? If so it is 4.1.1
The file I am trying to flash is the PC36IMG from this thread:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=780141
But like I said, I keep getting that error. My phone currently has CM10 if that is at all relevant to anything. I just want it back stock, like it came shipped, so I don't have any hassles from Sprint people.

That's a really old one. You need a Gingerbread one. The latest one is for 4.67.651.3, I believe.
EDIT: The RUU would work too, but it'll require a Windows PC to run.

That did the trick. Thank you for your help! Any suggestions on a new phone? I'm almost tempted to keep the EVO :laugh:

I have the M8, which is easily the best device I've ever owned. But if the EVO will hold you over, I'd wait for the next big device. The Snapdragon 805 is a beast.

Need Help to Unroot
So I rooted my Evo years ago using Unrevoked. I was wondering if there was a RUU download that could just completely reformat and unroot my phone for me?

Do I need a memory card installed to do anything? I can get to recovery without one in, would like to go back to factory and unroot. Thanks.

There is no RUU for you to run, particularly since you're S-on. There is a newer software update than what you have installed, but you'd need to reinstall the stock Android recovery and make sure you're using a fairly stock ROM. You can then take the update.
