Hi Experts,
I have a HTC EVO 4G ( Sprint Version ) flashed successfully to Boost Mobile with talk, text, MMS, Data at 3G Speeds working perfectly. It was great. But now a big problem.
I tried to update and get into the the latest components like, Baseband, Radio, NV,PRL, etc etc etc. I do not know much about the Cell Phone stuff.
Settings -->About Phone-->software information
Android Version
2.3.5
Baseband Version
2.15.00.12.19
Kernel Version
2.6.35.10-g4b8446

PRL Version

These are the details that are there on the software information screen.
My requirement is
1. I need to root my device to use wifi tethering
2. I want to upgrade to Android 4.x or Android 4.x.x
I want to know if both options 1 and 2 are possible or not? Because I did wirelessly tether my HTC EVO 4G earlier and I was successful with 1.5MBps speeds.
Any help is highly appreciated.
Thanks,
A J.
Both 1 and 2 are possible. You can root your phone using the HTC Dev method. Look in the Development section for the thread on rooting Hboot 2.18. Your radio is the most up-to-date radio out there, so you're good to go there. There is a newer software version out there (5.07), although you can only find it in rooted form, as the non-rooted version was never officially released other than in the form of an OTA update. As far as upgrading to ICS or JB, there are several ROM's out there for both, so you're good to go there once you gain root access.

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 get error 1012 when trying to update PRL, Profile and Firmware from flashed HTC EVO 4G on Cricket.
Where can I find reliable source to download PRL and the like? I searched and found only old PRLs

What ROM is best recommended for Cricket Evos?
You won't able to get it from the phone cause it uses sprint inet to go to sprint server if you want updated prl *22804 and no need to update profile ya inet works then it's fine

:sigh: Okay, so
I would label myself a newb struggling with linux in general. I have experience with the Sprint EVO 4g and android system since Oct 10. First question:
Which kernel may be best for my Rom
(I have tried Calkulin, CyanogenMod, Deck's, SalvageMod, Supersonic. I have found the Current ROM to be more stable than all.)

My REAL Question is this:
Since I purchased the phone Oct 10 and rooted it that night using ADB, UnrevokedForever and installing AmonRA Supersonic Recovery I have not met a single person in my area that has done quite what I have done. I met ONLY one person with a rooted phone so far and he could not tell me how he did it or what ROM he was running.
Odds should have dictated that I would run into at least one person by now!
(I have seriously considered walking into the SPRINT store and trying to talk to one of them!!!!!)
I have questions, comments, perspectives on hardware and software, questions about development, themes, etc. But NOONE to talk to physically!
I try to read as much as I can on this forum.
Anyway I live in the NYC area and would love someone else to talk to in real life to bounce ideas back and forth. At the risk of being skewered,
PM me if you can talk over the phone.
Thanks in advance,
Ryan
I know when I go to the local sprint store, everyone was either running a rooted evo or rooted epic. Might not be as crazy as you think
Hello,
I just flashed Brad650's Stock 2.3.5 De-Odexed Rom. My EVO 4g wifi connection is cutting on and off intermittently under heavy load (using TeamViewer Remote). But I also flashed gruesomewolf's wireless n hack as well.
Just wondering if anyone has given this ROM some time. I'm in no way blaming Mr. Brad nor Mr. Wolf and am very obliged for the super posts and the new OTA update. Any ideas? Right Kernel, Radio, Hboot? The Rom seems to be pretty flawless otherwise. No 4G but we all won't have 4G with the PC36100 soon.
BTW Router is an older DYNEX and I'm suspicious about anything dynex.

I can't locate where you got gruesomes wifi hack,but i'm sure its not compatible with brads rom.Even though its stock like gruesomes,there are different changes(framework.res and so on)on each rom.So what works on one might not work on the other.
Hi everyone,
I noticed that in the last few weeks everytime I make a call the link is noisey. My friend said Sprint recently started adding LTE and the area and I needed to upgrade.
Question now is what is it I need to update? The baseband or the radio? I already did a PRL and PRI update.
I am running SOS+ Rom android version 2.3.5 baseband 2.15.00.09.01 PRI 1.77 PRL 60797.
Any advice would be appeciated

Baseband & radio are the same thing. If it's not up to date I would update it. You'll need to be S-off to update your firmware (radio).

Thanks Finz28, its been so long that I had forgotten. I should be S-OFF since I have a custom rom.
Looks like this is the latest Radio: 2.15.00.01.15

thanks!
That's the latest radio, yes.
As far as being S-off, you need to check. You don't have to be S-off to install a custom ROM, only rooted. Contrary to popular belief, root & S-off aren't the same.
