[Q] Radio Update - HTC EVO 3D

I can't update my radio on my HTC Evo 3D CMDA. So far I'm on S-on and unlocked with Meanrom 0.8 andbuild number 2.17.651.5 baseband radio 0.97.10.0808.
I have tried RUU back to original stock and no luck.
This has cause dropping of calls alot.
What can i do to fix this issue?

---

so if am understanding this correctly you are trying to manually update from your settings, correct?

---

yes but nothing is working.

---

your ROM probably has the updater function removed from it...
this is for good reason... because you should never accept OTA updates, nor apply them.
if you are looking to update your radio hit the dev section because it has been nicely package in a flashable zip, and you can just flash the radio.

---

i haven't accept any ota's my rom doesn't have the updater either.
where in the dev section in the flashable radio because i have tried the bootloader way too.

---

search for a thread created by Freeza.. you'll find it

If this it i have tried this nothing works. Tried locking the bootloader too.

---

yes i apologize, TrevE's thread, freeza's post.
post # 131 of that thread bro. should be all set.

---

okay tried that through the bootloader method didn't work.

---

i just noticed your first post says you are s-on... are you on Hboot 1.5?

---

yes hboot 1.50 with s-on and unlocked running meanrom.

---

pretty sure you have to put a COMPLETELY stock ROM on it first...
the updater package does a number of checks throughout the system to verify it is compatible. runs through /system/app directory, **** like that. so if there are inconsistencies or if something is missing (like bloatware), it will abort the update.
i don't think being rooted will matter, however, but you WILL need to be on a completely stock ROM (pre-update)

---

what would be the right stock rom pre update?
Thx for all this help

---

no problem... and i am positive there are some completely stock RUU threads in the dev section. i know xhausx has posted one or two before... look around i know you will find one.

---

okay i think i found where i need to be. just which one?

that's the one you want. flash that, then try your update again. should do the trick.

---

okay successfully did the stock rom but when it does the radio update through the bootloader way it does nothing.
I put the PG86IMG.zip on the root of the sdcard and boot to the bootloader and reads it but does nothing to the radio.

I'm not quite sure what you mean by it does nothing to the radio?

after rebooting and back up it didn't change the radio. Does the phone need to have stock kernel?

---

everything needs to be stock before you do it.

i am almost positive you can do it while rooted, but maybe somebody else can chime in here and verify that.

i can't imagine the update script would check for su binaries...
