Well I got myself into a real pickle here. I was trying to get the newer OTA with my unlocked rooted 3D I tried everything I have here on how to do it but now my phone just reboots itself after it get to the sprint screen sometimes it does make it to where is show the info bar at the top with the time but reboots soon after. I have tried a stock recovery and a new OTA RUU using hboot and the PG86IMG.IMG which did install at hboot but I still have the same issues. Any ideas on how to at least get back to normal?

What hboot are you ? Also what software are you on 2.08 ? You are CDMA I am guessing? If all else fails man boot into your recovery and wipe just not your SD card and go back to hboot relock your phone and use the latest 2.17 ruu exe.. Works every time and then root again and your set... This info is for CDMA only Not GSM>>>
THanks reaper. I was on hboot 1.5 and CDMA sorry for not stating. I ended up just taking it back to sprint and they gave me a new phone which I am actually happy about because of a few blemishes I had on the phone. I think I will wait till after ICS and see if they can get it rooted. I really only want the ability to wireless tether.
Again thanks for the reply
I flashed my Sprint 3D to Cricket and received an HTC notification to OTA to ICS.
For some reason the HTC unlock method will not work me, I am stuck on GB stock, and although I know I can Hboot downgrade and Revolutionary or RUU to GB stock again, I am not feeling adventurous enough to "brick" my phone today or want to deal with a RUU.
I have a QPST profile saved in case the radio update affects my CDMA settings, and would have no problems just rewriting the info to phone, but I'd like to see if anyone has accepted an OTA from HTC in this way on a flashed HTC phone and what the outcome was. There is not much about this online!

If anyone is curious, I decided to accept the OTA and it worked, even though I am flashed to cricKet.
Haven't tried picture messaging to see if my APN's have been changed.
Everything else works!
So I was running CM10 and decided to jump from stable to the latest nightly. After doing that I couldnt get any calls out or connect to either cdma or lte. So I figured I would go back to stock and wiped and put RUU 2.13 on, but I still have the same problem. Called sprint, they tried refreshing network services and no dice. I just want to have a working phone again, can anyone give me a hand or some ideas to try?
Here's where the phones at:
RUU: 2.13
s-on
Hboot 1.19
Radio 1.12.11.0809
Phone wont update prl or profile. I have the MSL and tried manually inputting my phone number and msid but when i hit commit changes it said it failed.
Next thing I was going to try is downgrading the hboot back to 1.12 then flashing an older ruu, but at this point I'll try anything.
EDIT: I resolved the issue using DirtyRacun s-off.

I'm sure this is an annoying noob post but I'm going to instead post here before I brick yet another evo.
got a brand new evo in the mail from asurion.
*I unlocked through HTC dev.
*Rooted using This method
saw superuser on my stock untouched rom and was pleased.
proceeded to flash CM10 with no backup like an idiot.
cm10 animation bootloop..
found a thread saying Viper rom will flash because I'm still S-on.
Now stuck on Viper rom for 4 days with "1x" service when it used to be full bars 4G.
updated profile and prl on Viper rom. still no data when I am outside.
Tried Using the stock RUU.
Failed and told me to get the right version of the RUU.
tempted to keep trying things till it works again, but that's how I've ended up having to replace my phone in the past.
I am not good at rooting and need some help before I brick another phone..
while grabbing info I saw there was a system update for Viper Rom from 3.1.5 to 3.1.6
going to hold off as it will probably **** my kernel / radios even further..
Info:
Kernel 3.4.10-g19136fe [email protected] #1 SMP PREEMPT
baseband version: 1.12.11.1210
PRI version: 2.97_003

Any help or advice on what to do to get my phone working again would be super helpful.
Ideally I'd like to install a pure version of android, or cm10.1 with full service and no radio issues.

I'm stuck at "hands free activation" at the end of step 3.
says "contacting network..." for about 5 minutes now.
Let it keep doing its thing. I have had it take forever and fail then work on the 2nd retry. Go through all 5 attempts and make sure you are in a good service area.
Edit: you will need to go on to step 4
Make a backup!

UPDATE: after step 3 it said ""your activation could not be completed. To try again, Chose "update profile" in the system updates area of settings if the problem persists, you may need to contact Customer Service: error code:1012
going to update profile and reboot, if no then I will backup and try the final solution.
Update profile probably won't work. Don't forget to nandriod and backup your internal sd...

after step 4 while updating profile I got "data call failure" Error Code 131. Unable to establish wireless data connection. If the problem persists, please contact your mobile phone company. then after I pressed "dismiss" it showed "PRL Update complete"
full bars of 1x. back to square one, heh.
I'm pretty sure this is a radio mismatch issue but I'm too dumb to solve it.
I just can't seem to find the right RUU to get it back to how it was when I got it in the mail 4 days ago.
It should not update profile after step 4. It's should go through wireless activation, then check for prl update, then check for firmware update. So does it make it through wireless activation?

Also it looks like your firmware is up to date so I'm guessing your phone came with the 3.16 base already on it that's why cm 10.1 will not boot. The only way for you to run an aosp rom is to s off and downgrade your touch panel drivers. You have no radio mismatch issues as you are on the same radio/pri as me. Which are both up to date the only difference is I'm s off without the new tp.img. Also there is no RUU for 3.16 available only 3.15 which I'm guessing you tried and failed at. Roms Do Not mess with radios or pri, I would flash the stock rooted rom and try again.

Okay I'll give that a shot, thanks for your help.
If memory serves I was even lower than 3.16 when it first arrived.
I'll look for a rom like "stock with root"
time to give it another whirl.

Well your firmware is up to date so either it came with the 3.16 base or you updated your firmware via ota... Either way viper boy has a stock rooted rom in the Android development section.

Downgrade to twrp 2.4.4, I believe and try again. Also make sure to check the md5 it may have been a bad DL. I have also had to move roms from internal to external, and vise versa, to get them to flash. I'm shooting from the hip here...

I had a similar prob a few hours ago.
I just rooted new Evo LTE that arrived w/ 3.16.651 & 2.09 B.L.
I unlocked (still S-on) and flashed MeanBean w/NO PROBLEMS. All was good. Using WiFi tethering to watch Netflix in HD on 50" plasma kind of good.
Gained S-off this morning, re-flashed MeanBean (w/out running backup, of course). All was good again.
Then I noticed my radio, PRL, etc were not the most current, so I flashed the new PJ75IMG.zip. Radios were current but had near zero connectivity. 1x running at 2-4 kbs. No 4G LTE signal.
I tried the ##72786#, failed w/ error 1012.
Tried again, it failed no network detected...
Went to settings, updates, hit profile... Profile was updated!
Updated PRL... PRL was updated
Updated profile again.
##72786# then worked.
Went into recovery, fixed permissions & rebooted.
It's all now working flawlessly. 4G connects, WiFi tether rocks, through speeds are great.
Just keep plugging at reprovisioning (hands-free activation).
I don't know from AOSP ROMS, But if only for the short term, try to flash MeanBean. It might be able to get you out of the woods.
Definitely try different roms. I've had my data crap out for no reason and have to ##786# twice to get it back. Honestly you might have to call sprint. I have never had to but there are always those circumstances...

Many thanks! I can't seem to get ANY roms to flash.
Mean bean it is.
Get S-off using the Moonshine method and save yourself a lot of headache. It'll give you way more options to anything you want. With S-Off everything is butta.

UPDATE SOLVED:
after failing at flashing another stock Rom I recovered back to viper. I went about my errands and while driving out of the blue I had full 4g again.
I think maybe the towers had trouble doing a hands free activation twice in such a short duration from eachother out of the box.
Thanks again to all who offered help, no idea why it works now!

Hi guys,
2.95, hboot 1.58
I have a Sprint device that I moved to Ting and I can't get it activated. My Evo3d was a launch day phone and I have owned it the whole time without issues until now.
The problem is that the PRL/Profile simply will not update even when I manually enter the MDN and MSID. I'm trying to flash a stock rom to my phone as Ting suggested but I am having quite a bit of trouble. I have gone through the HTC dev tools and I have S-On (unlocked). However, I simply cannot manage to get any ruu to flash over as it always fails with error code 155 or 140. I'm getting really quite frustrated and due to the nature of Ting being a MVNO they don't exactly have anywhere I can stop in and get help at. I must be doing something wrong but I can't figure out what. Any help would be greatly appreciated.
Thanks
Edit: I have also tried putting a PG86IMG.zip directly onto the sd card and updating that way without success.

Okay, I successfully got Negalite blu-rom on the phone but I still cannot update PRL/profile or activate.
edit: Now I appear to have overwritten my stock backup. I could really use help here if anyone can point out how I can get back to a stock configuration. I obviously suck at this.
You can find the stock 2.89 rom here:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1420206&highlight=stock
This is rooted obviously.
If you want to ruu, you need to flash this first in recovery:http://db.tt/hiENKUvK
Then lock the bootloader and run the latest available ruu for 2.89.

Brian,
Thanks for the reply. I actually figured out my issue. I sent Ting the correct ESN when porting my phone and numbers over and somehow when Sprint ported my information they supplied the wrong ESN to Ting. I even called Sprint when I could not activate and they told me the correct ESN over the phone but when I checked with Ting on a whim it was different by only 3 digits with the last digit being identical...talk about easy to miss. Once this was corrected I was able to activate. I am super happy with the Nagalite rom I am running and I like it much better than stock so I am fine with sticking with it right now
Awesome! Glad you got it figured out thanks for letting us know what the problem was!
