I just unrooted my evo 3d and got s on. I am now unable to get the ota's. It says software up to date. I've done a hard reset and still same issue. I want my phone to be completely stock and up to date. I've followed the the guide to achieve s on. What has to be done to recieve ota's again?
You have 2 options either take to a Sprint store and tell them your phone will not update and they will manually update it for you or find an unaltered manual update here in the forums add it to your SD card rename it PG86IMG.ZIP and boot in to the bootloader. When asked to update select yes. Look for 1.3**** Update, not 2.****. I recently had to do this my self so I can take in a phone due to hardware problems.
And if you have any problems finding the file send me a PM ill see what I can do about sending you the file.

Hey everyone i am having a serious problem, i have a hardware problem with my evo and i am in need to unroot and send my phone back to sprint. but everytime i try with the RUU.exe files it says either that the it is the wrong version or it keeps failing to connect. I was wondering if there is a better way to unroot or alternate way to unroot. By the way i had to root using the 1.47.651.1 method since my phone was updated without me finding about all this.
as the title says, after rooting, i am unable to check for any firmware updates. i realize it doesnt mater right now as there is noithing out right now, but i like to check often just in case tmobile releases something or samsung. when i go to check for updates by selecting settings>software update and then a warning message pops up: DM initalisation is not ready, Check network or SIM card
Any ideas would be greatly appreciated
I was about to ask this same question, and yes i am also rooted. Just wanted to post that you are not alone on this one.
thats good to know, i was beginning to wonder if i was the only one having this problem, for now i unrooted and flashed back to stock using odin, but i miss having root and some of the apps i was using. I am not willing to give up the ability to check for new firmware though as my source at work told me that updates are coming in the next 2 weeks and that we should be getting a text message about them in the next week or so. and just so people know, it wasnt a tmobile customer service rep, i work for deutsche telekom so we here things first usually.
I have this same issue, where I'm unable to check for firmware updates. I am not rooted though... I just bought the phone today and when I click the 'Software Updates' option it says 'No firmware' in a pop-up message. This problem is not only associated with rooted devices.

Read the first post again... yours is the normal message that is displayed when no firmware update is available...
Also, I'm rooted and the update seems to be working fine.
I'm rooted and it pops no firmware.

If I flash back to stock it works fine when I use odin to go back to stock, but if I reroot it says the same thing. Nothing ever stops it from saying what I posted in the OP. I need some help funding a fix or ok won't be able to get the froyo update when it releases.

If I use oclf to root and apply the fix, then unroot using oclf, will the factory ota not work?

Duuude don't worry about it. People will post ROM clockwork backups of the froyo release / stock odin flashes of it / etc.
Anyone will be able to update, however they do so... And just wait til you hear about it THEN unroot and update
yep i'm rooted to and it checks for filmware just fine .
im rooted and get the no firmware message

... *sigh* Because there isn't a UPDATE for the Vibrant.
IF I ROOT, WILL I GET OTA UPDATES?
Yes. Rooting will not prevent this, unless you flash a custom ROM that will block receiving the OTA update. If you do receive and download the OTA update, you will lose root. Typically within hours of the OTA becoming available, thanks to some fine XDA folks you can get the update WITH root. You would simply need to download and flash the update like a normal ROM.

Rooting doesn't mess with your OTA updates, when you update with the OTA it will remove your ROOT. The only way to interfere with OTA's are flashing custom ROMs.
But you cannot get the ota update when it releases if the check for update option under settings is not working. All I want to know is why the firmware update option is broken and how to fix it.

When I first got my phone I got the message Check network or SIM card. I rooted the phone and still got that same message. I restored to origanal and got the message'No firmware'. Now again I am getting Check network or SIM card.

It seems like your phone was more than just rooted. What method did you use to root?
Note: Yeah, the "No Firmware" message is the normal message you get if there's no update available, aka, your phone is searching for and/or receiving OTA updates just fine.

This was my plan. Although, I'm reading posts that imply that even though a phone is rooted, if the user hasn't flashed a custom ROM, they'll still get the OTA update, and getting the OTA update will unroot the phone.
When this happens, root-necessary apps like ryanza's lag fix, titanium backup and android system info won't work anymore right? Will they need to be uninstalled and reinstalled? Or will I just need to re-root?
Sorry, I'm new to Android and don't know the typical process stock ROM root users go through with OTA updates.
Genuinely, thanks for any feedback.
Yes I wanna know this too. I'm holding off on getting apps for root only because I think they might mess something up. Also I thought I read set cpu spook might mess up the vibrant running oclf. Anyone?

Hey guys, I followed one of the tutorials on how to unroot your EVO 3D and bring it back to stock. Before I unrooted my phone, I kept getting a notification that an OTA update was available, specifically version 2.08.651.2 (August 18, 2011). Right now, my software number is 1.11.651.2. I want to update to the newer version, but when I go to Settings > System updates > HTC software update > Check now, it shows no updates are available. I've tried rebooting the phone and checking repeatedly. I'm kinda lost here and not sure what to do. I was wondering if the PG86IMG I downloaded to return to stock disabled OTA updates, but I highly doubt that since it's just a stock image. If I could find a download link to the updates, I could apply them manually through the bootloader. If not, I might suck it up and take my phone into Sprint and get them to see what's up and update my phone there. Either way, what do you think I should do? I want it updated though. Thanks in advance.
so u unrooted using the approved method and then tried to update to 2.3.4 via HTC but it would'nt find the update? Just wanna make sure u know that if u take this update ur only option is to root via HTC's unlocked bootloader which isn't a true unlock... secondly if that is ur desire and the stock image won't find the update then i would check ur source and make sure it's not missing something. I turned off my update check cuz once it checks and finds an update that little icon stays in ur taskbar unless u factory reset and i was waiting to root with teamwin's method so i didn't take the update. if i knew how to pull the image without updating id post it for ya...
Yes sir! I understand that updating my software to version 2.8.651.2 will prevent my phone from being rootable until somebody figures out a method to make it rootable. I have no need for rooting my phone actually. I tried out a few roms, and I would rather stick with a stock unrooted rom in case I ever need to take my phone into Sprint for service. The Sprint store where I live won't do any service to a rooted phone, so I need to be on the safe side. I went to the store today, and unfortunately the only people available at the time were sales representatives, so they were of no help. They just told me to wait and keep trying to update the phone periodically. If it doesn't show any updates within the next month, my only choices will be to either call Sprint and see if they can push the update to my phone or find an update image, transfer it to my phone, and manually update it through the bootloader. I also read on an EVO 4G thread that the phone won't update if it's missing SprintUpdater.apk. I doubt a stock rom would be missing that app though. I had the update notification when I was rooted, but I didn't download it because it would break my root, and now that I'm completely back to stock, I should get the notification. What gives? I wish Sprint would send out the updates all at once instead of in waves. Anybody wanna chime in?

Moving to Q&A
Having the same problem. But i havent tried unrooting the phone.
I just got a notification for an update from HTC. I dont have a data plan with Sprint, and I couldnt find any information on here regarding this update. has anyone else recieved this?
Do you know what the update did?
I see the update too, really curious what it is. HC?
I'm going to wait though, I'm rooted and don't want to do a OTA update
Seems like it was an update to fix a tracking security issue?

Still no luck with that LOL

Did the update break your root status?
I am rooted, however the update fails to install. Anyone else have this issue?
I also cannot update. It downloads, and reboots the device. After the reboot, there's an android bot, and a triangle encased exclamation point.

Need to revert to Stock RUU and then do the update(s) once done the do root process again
In case you need the zip 1.22.651.1
OTA_Express_Sprint_WWE_1.22.651.1-1.18.651.1_release_198260xikterg48lc0snx1.zip
New Update-Security Patch 1.22.651.2
OTA_Express_Sprint_WWE_1.22.651.2-1.22.651.1_release_220183oqo49zm8mw3kfeuv.zip
Odd it shows 2.1 not 3.0
Couple of quick questions here. Is the first files you linked an update and then the second one is a patch to that one? Also reverting to the ruu won't undo to the s-off setting? Is this correct?

Correct first 1 is Update then patch and you will need to do root process again.. But 1st you need to use RUU to get into stock to allow updates to occur.
You can also try to flash VIA recovery, been told it works that way to without having to go stock then reroot. The bookmarkwidget3D was the only glitch that I found, its not in the update.
Hello
I am using the droid DNA on GSM network. I am really bothered by the battery drain issue from the Camera App and just want to flash the new OTA update to see if it helps in fixing the problem. Since I am not on Verizon, the OTA update ICON in my phone is disabled. I searched the forums and couldn't come across any RUU Executable that can be used for the latest Stock ROM. I did find a thread for the old ROM. Can someone tell me how to update to the new Stock ROM? Any recommendations to overcome the Camera App battery drain issue also would be appreciated.
Thanks
Krupa
There are several people who got the update that might trade you phones (if a phone is updated without being rooted/supercid before updating, then there currently is no way to root/supercid and s-off after the update).
If you root and s-off your phone, you can manually update your phone, now and in the future.
I also saw one report that removing the sim card, booting up the phone, and connecting to wifi, allowed his phone to download and install the update.
The third way is to wait for the update to get released/leaked in ruu format.
