I received a replacement phone from Sprint. My first 3d was hboot 1.3, my replacement is a 1.5 that has been unlocked via the HTC method.
Is it safe to run back ups from the old phone?

Everything I ever read when I had an Evo 4G said not to....things like it could hose your 4G... I suppose as long as you didn't restore the wimax partition, but idk for sure....I would wait till a few more of the guys chime in...
Toby is in HR which technically means he works for corporate, so he's really not a part of our family. Also he's divorced, so he's really not a part of his family.....
No don't. It may brick your phone

Short answer: I agree and disagree. It all depends on which partitions you're restoring from the backup.
Long answer: If you restore the /system partition, /data partition and boot (kernel) partition, there should be no issues, assuming the hardware is the same and the previous kernel/system supported the current devices hardware.
If you're looking at attempting to restore/flash a radio from a previous device, I wouldn't touch this as this *could* brick the device or cause other issues.
Worse case, when restoring system, data and boot, the device doesn't boot, meaning kernel isn't compatible with new device hardware, reboot into recovery and flash a stock kernel. Or 2nd worse case, the system boot loops during the animation, might have to wipe /data and only be able to restore system and kernel (assuming their custom from some ROM, otherwise stock would be the same as already loaded on the device).
Hope that helps clarify!

Had this same issue occur on my EVO4G, back in the day. Basically when they first were new. Messed around too much and somehow lost my WiMax keys. Since then I believe they've come up with several ways to repair the issue. What I did then was RUU back to factory, and start the whole root process over. That got my WiMax back.

Reset to factory RUU using the supersonic RUU utility, on the hboot screen it still says s-off and revolutionary at the top...Sole Conslusion is that this phone, per revolutionary CANNOT be unrooted, now that i have the bone stock rom on my evo, the 4G doesnt work, i know this because on the stock evo rom, while searching for 4g you get in the top left part of the screen it states "4G!" which means there is no 4G, well that little symbol is not on the top the screen in either my new rom or the stock rom, stating something is wrong with my 4G...i think i have a unique situation that i need to be fixed...and i cannot find a fix for this
somebody bump this, i think i have a unique situation

Ok so I had a international galaxy note that was a little beat up and I wanted a new evo lte. So I posted a ad on Craig's list to sell the note or trade for a new evo. A guy hit me up to trade today and we met and did a trade. Well the evo seemed to be working fine at first. But now it keeps freezing and rebooting. I did a factory reset to see if that solved the problem, and when the phone rebooted I saw a splash screen that said team winning. So I think the guy tried to root and messed something up. Is there a quick and easy way to flash or back to normal without bricking it ? or should I just claim it gets stolen,pay the deductible and get a new one? Any help on getting this back to stock would be great. It's in great condition but literally freezes and reboots every few mins.
Look in the dev section for the ruu.

Well what you are saying is insurance fraud and don't think you can talk about that here.
I would flash a stock ruu if I were you and test your luck. At the end of the day you bought/traded from a 3rd party that was not retail and have to deal with your own decisions.
Sent from my EVO using xda premium
See if.u have a recovery installed by turning the phone off and loading into the bootloader by pressing and holding power + volume down at the same time..if so I guess u could attempt to unroot with a stock ruu
Didn't mean to mention the insurance thing if talking about that is against the rules. My apologies. When I enter recovery the teamwin recovery screen comes up. Also at the top of the phone it says unlocked and tampered or something like that. So should I just try to flash the stock rui? And are the instructions in the dev section? Thanks for all the help guys. I have flashed stock roms on my og evo and my evo 3d but never a custom Rom.
You can't flash an RUU. Just flash a regular ROM and see how your phone works.

Ok. How would I be able to tell if the phone is rooted? Like I said when I go into recovery it says tampered and then unlocked. Does that mean it's rooted? And if so can I just load a stock rom on it ? or should I watch the how to uproot video and run the rui? Thanks in advance for the help.

Tampered means rooted, Unlocked means bootloader is unlocked. Just load another ROM zip on SD card and flash it in recovery after doing factory reset, cache wipe and davlik wipe. Might be OK after that.
Thanks for all of your help. I will try to run the ruu or flash another rom after work today. I really like the phone and hope that that fixes the problem. Thanks again.
Use TEP on that. I have done that with my past ebay/craigslist phones with no problem. I bought them and then they ended up having hardware issues a few weeks or months after I bought them. When Sprints' techs ask me where I got the phone, I tell them Craigslist or eBay. One of them told me "That's pretty smart" when I explained how I bought a used phone and put TEP on it.
One of the reasons I love TEP is they don't care where the phone comes from! :good: :good:
If you can verify the power cycling while a service tech is present you shouldn't even need to pay a deductible
I would flash the Superwipe than any ROM of your choice. I like Stock with Goodies.
Just get a ruu and run it from your pc. That will get you back to complete stock. Use it stock and see if any issues come back up. If they still do then worry about fixing it. But I think you should be good after ruu
Thanks everyone for the help
I installed and flashed mean Rom and that seems to have cleared up the problem. Thank you to everyone who helped. I think I'll run this rom and see how I like it. if I have any problems with it I'll just go get the ruu and run it. I read in the forums that I have to relock the bootloader before I can run the ruu. How do I relock it? Thanks again.
I believe it's from adb:
Fastboot oem lock
Stop me if im wrong, but from what I read you could only add TEP within 30 days of a newly upgraded line. So im not quite sure how you ended up adding TEP on a use phone without a line upgrade.

Whenever I have bought phones outright or from off the net they have always just transfered my insurance from the line that I activate the phone on. I had a Palm Pre and bought the og evo from Sprint for full price. They simply transferred the insurance. As soon as I activatedthis Lte evo I got a message saying my tep went up from 8 to 11 dollars. And when I talked to the rep she said that the insurance transfered over.
Unfortunately I have to take this phone to the repai center tomorrow. I loaded mean rom on it and it worked great for 20 mins. Then it got stuck on Chrome and the screen wouldn't turn off. I came home relocked the phone, ran the ruu, and unrooted the phone. Still randomly reboots and resets itself. The guy at the sprint store said if they can't repair it and there is no sign of physical damage or water damage they will just give me a new one.
Yeah insurance transfers to a new device even if it's not "new"

Try swapping sd cards, are you using kernel that is included with the rom, did you do a full wipe when you flashed the rom, try the easy stuff, before you start messing with hboot, when you plug in phone do you at least get the option to charge the phone

Re-flash the rom, sounds like the settings are messed up, under pc connection you should have multiple options when you connect your phone, check to see if any options exist. Did you flash the new firmware?

If you are S-OFF, yes. Take out the SD card, put it in another device that can read/write it, and copy another bootloader to the root of your SD card as PG86IMG.zip. Then put the SD card back in the phone, start the bootloader by pressing VolumeDown+Power, and confirm that you want the current bootloader to flash the new bootloader.

ok just istalled a different rom right after a full wipe and still 1 evo 3d works and this one doesnt it has to be the hboot now?
can you tell me where it is stored that way i can flash it on the other evo 3d? or is it more complicated than that?
Was just curious if anyone could tell me if they even boot on the cdma variant? I'm aware the radios are entirely different so i wouldn't have service but is that the only problem?
Sent from my Evo V 4G using Tapatalk 2
The simple answer is don't flash gsm anything on cdma...
Even if you got one to flash, you would never have service. It's not even that the radios are different but the fact that they are two completely different network types. Incompatible.
So.. Insta-brick?
Sent from my Evo V 4G using Tapatalk 2
I don't think that flashing a rom would Perma brick the phone but you wouldn't want to flash a gsm hboot or radio I'd imagine. Dunno if you'd be able to recover from that
Don't take my word for it though, I can't guarantee a rom wouldn't brick...
Thanks, that basically what I was getting at. I had some thoughts about about trying to port a rom or 2 just messing around. I'm not really scared of bootloops as I can easily get out of that threw recovery. Just needed to know if there was something else I was missing.
Obviously I have no intentions of flashing gsm radios or anything that deep but I've been messing with system files long enough to attempt a port. Perhaps fail at getting it to boot but that doesn't bother me so long as I can still pull the battery and boot to hboot/recovery and flash a compatible rom or nandroid restore.
Sent from my Evo V 4G using Tapatalk 2
You have to modify updater-script before flashing, otherwise you'll install Rom in wrong partitions! Then you can flash whatever you want without major problems!

I recall with some Sprint WiMax devices, one could lose WiMax Keys after improper flashes, thus rendering 4G inoperable.
Is this also the case with Verizon's LTE? I seem to have lost all LTE connectivity after flashing CM11 a while back, and after flashing back to a Sense-based ROM, it still only shows 3G. I haven't been messing with it for a long time but I will be loaning the DNA to a friend soon so I would like to attempt a fix.
Am I correct to assume that I will need to re-lockup the device and RUU back to stock to see if the phone will re-gain LTE connectivity?
Just flash a radio and hboot. Sometimes those partitions get wonky after flashing so many ROMs. I have read somewhere reflashing those two have fixed 4G issues.

Hm, I shall give it a try and see...
It's been a while, but I did manage to relock and flashed the first RUU and updated up to the most recent OTA, but my LTE is still screwed up. My friend says it still is stuck on 3G, but I am kind of out of ideas after restoring everything and whatnot... =\
Have you tried calling Verizon or your service provider to reset the network. On my old phone after flashing a leak I had to do that in order to get data back.
