I'm currently 2.3.4 and am waiting for the Revolutionary 1.5 root tool. I know not to download the HTC software updates. But what about firmware, and PRL updates? How exactly does the PRL update work? Meaning that is it location based? Should it be updated from the location where I use it most, or have the worst signal, or does it even matter? And what exactly is the Profile update? Thanks.
firmware is hardware issues. Completely safe to do. PRL should always be done. don't play these radio games with XDA, they'll post radios and PRL's for you to download which will only damage your phone and brick the phone. Then if you ask anyone in the forums how to fix it, some one with 200 comments replies with "Did you flash it right?"
But yeah, the only thing you don't wanta do are HTC software updates.

Does anyone know where I can download the older PRI for my Evo 3D? I have upgraded recently and now I am not getting as good signal at my house not. Not sure if that's the reason, but I want to downgrade to see if it improves.

We haven't seen a released image of the original PRI. We've only been given the latest version of the PRI in the most recent OTA/RUU.
Unless we receive an old leak, we probably won't see an older version of the PRI be released.
Also, I've havent heard/seen much regarding a reliable PRI extraction method, i.e. a guide on how to extract just the PRI image from a device in order to obtain the older PRI version.
Sorry its not the best news, but hopefully it helps answer your question for now. If any PRI image is leaked/released, it will generally be posted up in the dev board.
Hope that helps!
Okay I got a notification that there is a system update available. I am currently at:
Android Ver. 2.3.4
HTC Sense Ver 3.0
Software number 2.08.651.2
Kernel ver 2.6.35.13-g84f8edd
PRI ver. 1.31_003
PRL ver 21081
H-Boot 1.5
I am not sure what this update is. I have not rooted yet, but plan to. I know I already have to use the HTC unlock, but want to make sure that this update will not keep me from using any of the methods we have to flash kernels. Anyone know what this update is and if it could prevent me from doing anything in the future?

The .3 update won't keep you from using htc's method.
It is the security update to patch some of the dangerous security holes caused by Carrier IQ.

I would never do any ota updates. any update worth putting on my phone can be done by the devs here.
Thanks. I have no need to root right now. I don't need to tether yet and the ROMs I want are not yet ready for the 3D. Plus I am hoping they come up with a way to do a full s-off rooting and don't want to do anything now that I cannot undo later.
Ok so I got the RUU links from THIS THREAD.
I have checked my radio and software version already. Now, I found the link for my radio (1.02.12.0427). However, the software version on my phone is 1.13.651.1 710RD. The RUU does not have anything like that listed. Is that the same as the 1.13.651.1 RUU? I do not know what the 710RD denotes and I do not wish to brick my phone or cause any unnecessary issues that I will then have to deal with.
Can anyone confirm that this is the RUU that I need?
yes thats the one u need.. i was thinking the same thing a few days ago when i had to flash a ruu.. your all set
Hi every one
There is ics for s on?
The official OTA (Over the Air) ICS Update has been released some days before. If you dont modified your phone you should go to settings -> Software Update or something like this. And there should be an update for you. If you have a modified ROM on your phone, you won't be able to download this. Then you need to search the forums for Unlocking/getting S-OFF.
Ok
I want to do but I don't know several things.
Can you tell me exactly what I need to start?
Now my hboot 1.49.0014 and my Rom shawn3d gsm rom 1.4
Do I need to downgrade the hboot. Can u tell me which one?
I have a firmware question that I can't seem to find the answer to by searching. I am running arhd 11 on an att HTC one. Should I upgrade the firmware on my phone? Will there be any benefits to this since I am on att and not international? Also how do I go about updating the firmware and does it wipe the device? If I should upgrade, what it's the version I should download? Longtime Samsung user so please excuse the noobness.
If alls running well, then plz avoid ... however, in ARHD thread many AT&T users have updated the firmware without any side-effects
Best to post Q in that thread itself

It is currently not mandatory to flash the new firmware for ARHD, but it does provide a noticeable increase performance depending on the current firmware version you are running, I was running 1.26 on my AT&T m7 and the screen and touch buttons have been much more responsive now that I am running the new 2.24. Flashing the new firmware will also update the baseband, providing you with the latest radio (but performance of this will vary from region to region.
If you go to this link, it will give you some great instructions on the update process.

BTW, you will need to be s-off and change your cid to 11111111. As long as you take your time and follow the directions completely you will be fine. If you do update make sure you flash the firmware TWICE when it says to, and make sure you re-flash your custom recovery because it will get replaced during the updating process. This process will not delete your sd card and you will be able to run your current ARHD, but it is recommended to do a clean install after. And you might as well since 12.0 is out.
hope this helps
I'm getting a failed not allowed error when trying to 'fastboot flash zip'
I successfully have s-off and changed CID but can't get firmware to flash
Edit: not sure what happened but I was able to push the zip successfully. Maybe from adding the path of the file instead of just the zip file? Anyway, it worked.

IF the rom is tweaked right theres no real reason to update the firmware to euro build,Id wait till att variant or the dev variant gets the update and then worry about it.
