Flash any of the ROM's in Dev that are based on 2.17. Or just flash the base rooted 2.17 ROM.
i thought i read somewhere in one of the roms if you flash without being on 2.17 that you will get stuck in bootloop?

There is a link on the OP in meanrom thread which will guide u on how to update everything from 2.08 to 2.17 .... Just follow everything on that page n u can flash any 2.17 rom after that with no problem....

You need the Freeza All In One update. This will not update you to 2.17 as that is referring to the ROM, this will update the firmware, PRI etc.

Do yourself a favor, if you are on hboot 1.5, get it downgraded using instructions in the Dev forum. Everything is so much easier on 1.4.
If your CDMA hboot 1.5 you can either find the stock recovery to flash and use the zip file that the guys just mentioned...
You could also download the 2.17 RUU exe
Wipe Relock and run the ruu you will be updated Then just unlock again pretty easy...
That RUU comes in handy if you do **** something up
Lol 1.5 is easy no issues just one extra step to flash stuff not hard and no issues.

yes if u r on hboot 1.4.... once u flash this u will have everything updated..... then u can simply flash any rom with no problem.. but if ur on hboot 1.5 this i would first downgrade it like mentioned earlier....

i hate to ask this but I just can't get it figured out for sure. I am on Clean Rom 4.3, my build number is: 3.11.605.22. I dont think I've ever done an RUU. I rooted / unlocked with the All in One Toolkit, and then installed CR 4.3, and then did the patch and kernel.
So if I wanna try something else, like BAMF, can I just flash it or is there still the RUU that I need to do?
thanx in advance...

Just the patch. BAMF is based on the leaked firmware, so just make sure you flash the patch with it. That one will have a special PH img also. It's called PH98IMGoldfirmwarepeople.zip.
EDIT: And if that's your true firmware, you already flashed the RUU. I think that's just the build of the ROM. Go into HBoot and you'll know for sure if you flashed any kind of RUU on your phone. Your HBoot number will be higher.
in HBOOT I have HBOOT 2.11.0000, eMMc-boot, Oct 6, 2011

Perfect. Then you're on the old (official) firmware so you just need to flash the ROM in recovery, the patch, and the PH98IMGoldfirmwarepeople (in bootloader).
EDIT: And just so you know in the future, your HBoot would be 2.21 if you were on the new firmware.
ok cool. is the alternative to just do that entire ruu leaked ics process, and then I'm updated and can just flash roms w/out patches. Is that the better way to go?
sorry for all the questions, that is it I promise...

Well, that would be an easy way to do things, but because you can use ROMs without it, I would just not do it yet and wait for the official OTA. I updated, but that's just me.

Y don't u just do the lazypanda s-off now since you are stock. U don't need fresh rom to do it. The new base is installed when u install a new rom on the new base. Just flash radios separately which u can do once s-off or just being on 1.12 I believe.

Why would you downgrade hboot and then run ruu to install the latest hboot? If you downgraded to 1.12 you should have no problem running lazy panda. Am I missing something?
On unlimited's site it says the rom requirements to run lazy panda is 1.13 RUU. I was confused on that as well but it hasn't been successful. I'm currently 1.12 hboot with 1.22 software version. So at this point just run the lazy panda?
Someone in mac's development thread stated they were able to run lazy panda on 1.12. You should ask about it in that thread and see if anyone can help
i ran it out of the box no RUU just ran it
Was that you that mentioned it then? I was having a hard time remembering who mentioned it lol
WHOO HOO! I'm S-Off!!! Ok am I finally ready for customer roms etc and I guess i need to flash radios of course.

Rite now I'm on cleanrom pro latest version. I've tried the one in ky Sig, cm9, slim Rom, vigor360, Nile business 3.6 and 4, rezrom, etc. I've tried a lot and all preform the same. They all lag. How can I fix this? Maybe update ruu or something? I have the latest recovery and hboot. This is getting extremely annoying now because its every Rom. I'm planning clean Rom and funky kernel as my daily driver. I have force gpu rendering enabled. Pls help. Getting extremely annoying. Ppl with the same setup don't have this problem. And yes I wipe EVERYTHING when I flash New roms and cache boot and delvik when I flash kernels.

Well it depends if you want OTA or global, I recommend the global radios since thats what most people are using now. Find the RUU which should be 4.03.605.2 and then place it on your the root of your SD as PH98IMG.zip and then it will flash.

Hboot and let it run twice on its own
Then I always do a factory reset and then after that you will have to load a custom recovery again so you can run a custom rom
This will not work if you used the HTC Bootloader unlock tool. Your device must be fully stock with a locked bootloader or you must have S-Off (method). Installing the RUU will wipe your data.
I'm s-off unlocked by HTC boot loader, so I can tdo it? If I can, will Ihave to unlock and s-off again?

No. Roms don't include radios or any other firmware. You'd have to relock and RUU to get the radios. And if you want the 3.16 radio you'd have to take the OTA.

Since you relocked, I'm assuming you know how to use fastboot. Go to here and download the RUU 3.15.651.16 - HBOOT 2.09 from the right. This will give you an RUU.zip. Throw that in your fastboot folder on the pc and follow step 8 and 9. This will run the RUU and put you in 3.15 Stock.

If you take the 3.16 OTA, only the newest version of TWRP (2.4.1.0) will work. And the only roms you'll be able to use are those that use 3.16 as a base. Any other base and the touchscreen might not work.

That's the radio for 3.16. It's the latest.
I am have to laugh at the original poster now. I don't want to go through the hassle of getting s-off! But now look at all the hassles you have. S-off is an easier and less hassle procedure!
