I get this error every time i attempt to update my PRL. I have tried multiple Blur ROMs hoping i just had a bad download but i keep getting the same result. Anyone know why this is or how to fix it? I havent update since i first rooted back around October so i am sure it is passed due. Is there no way to make a .zip to update the PRL and radio like we did with the Evo?
if you wanna update your prl...you might have to flash a stock sbf file via rsdlite...once updated you can flash back whatever rom you want.
Google talk me for help or question. @ [email protected]
What he said. The update PRL process is a blur functon. If the ROM you are using has a component of that process removed it will fail. I have a nandroid of stock that I use for that purpose, works quite well.
My MoPho's in the kitchen sink!!
The first thing i tried was a nandroid of stock. When that failed i tried an old nandroid of Alien. Then i tried [email protected] as a fresh install. As i said, i miss being able to flash the updates, but i do enjoy my Photon.

So I am trying to install the Stock Deodexed ROM and i've wiped and all but when I got to install the zip, it aborts. It says failure at line 7. I have backups of Stock 2.3.4 i can restore to, so I can get to my goal of being at 2.3.5 for the Eclipse update tonight, but I'd rather a clean install. Why is the install aborting?

This has happen to me before. I had to sbf and then it was fine for a while. But recently I had the same iussue again but I had already made a back up of eclipse 1.3 so I am also hoping eclipse 2.0 goes ok for me as well.
Finishing up a restore of my stock, then to update. The only reason I am is because i installed the mash up rom and my signal was amazing for a day, and then today, it has picked up miniscule 3g, dropped it, and remained on low 1x.
Flashing the deodexed rom is unnecessary, all you have to do is sbf to 2.3.4, root, use rootkeeper (if you want), update, and flash eclipse when released.

A couple weeks ago, I decided it was time to root my phone, since I missed running the custom ROMs on my Droid. So I unlocked it and rooted it and everything went all fine and dandy. I decided for my first ROM, I would flash Xtreme Outcast's ICS ROM (v2.0, I think). When I first flashed it, my data worked fine (however downloading apps from the market gave me some issues, but I think that was another problem..). However, before long, like later that day, the 4g and 3g stopped working. After it stopped working, I decided to try to restore my nandroid stock ROM, but when I went back to it, not only did the 4g and 3g not work, the wifi just said 'error' when I tried to turn it on. So after that, I tried to flash the GB OTA RUU, but that gave me some issues, but I've figured out where that went wrong (mainver error).
Anyway, what I'm trying to figure out is what I can do to try to fix the issue. My mobile data IS on, the battery cover IS on, and the SIM card is inserted and, to my knowledge, working just fine. Would flashing an RUU help? Am I just having bad luck with this ROM and need to flash a different one? Should I update to the new RUU? Any help would be fantastic, and I'd award you 456789876435974 awesome points!
Sounds like you may have had a bad ROM zip. I would try re-downloading the ROM and re-flashing making sure you wipe all/factory reset first. If that works and you are feeling adventurous, I highly recommend Scott's ROMs new CleanRom 4.1 which requires an RUU. Check out his web site and developer thread here for more info. I took the leap and love it.

Thanks for the response, but do you think it was just a bad flash if it affected the stock nandroid backup too? I will try flashing a new ROM soon either way, though. Is it possible to download an older version of CleanRom? I can't find a link on the first page of the thread, though I might have just overlooked it. I'm just not sure if I want to update to the new RUU right now, but if there are no other options, I might just pull the trigger on it.
Go to Scott's ROMs web site and you can download ISCE 3.7 which is still on the old firmware so no RUU needed. His roms are pretty slick and he provides great support.
Good point on the nandroid so I'm not sure what's going on. Hopefully the new ROM flash helps.
Well, I flashed the ICS RUU, and now my data works! but now...I can't get my phone to root. Is there a guide for rooting on the new RUU?

It is just easiest to install and ICS new firmware ROM that is already rooted.
There is however a couple of thread in the development forum on rooting and there is an ICS root tool there
Is it possible to update your prl and/or profile through CWM? It would be much more convient than flashing multiple roms.
I guess not? Anyone?
I would like this function also.

I have my nandroid of stock that I go to about one a month to check for updates. It's real quick and easy make a back up of whatever ROM I'm on, restore stock, check for updates, backup stock again, restore ROM I was on before. All done in less than an hour if I was in a hurry

Unfortunately you have to be on a semi stock rom to flash the prl.
I nandroided curent rom,flashed joker stock, updated prl and then restored my nandroid rom of choice.
Kinda pita but that is the way it is.
exactly, pita but what can you do ;-)
I'm glad this came up again as it reminded me that I need to make a maintenance ROM for just this reason.
That would be perfect! Simple lightweight and cwm flashable. Access to the debug mode in a 5 minute flash would be awesome.
ok so i wouldnt say im a noob but im not as advanced as some of yous. last night i flashed a leaked ics onto my phone and loved it with one exception. i couldnt figure out how to root it. all my apps are backed up on titanium backup and i didnt want to have to get all of them manually. so i flashed back to stock using odin with a file i used back when that crappy update came out. i rooted it with super one click and and then went to put on a prerooted ics... when in recovery mode now i get this message
cant access to '/system/csc/att/system/'
i try putting on cwm and siyah and i keep getting authentication errors and the installation aborts. also recovery mode wont read my external sd card now. when the phone is booted up it works fine except i tried to do the factory ota update and it keeps failing. i tried reflashing back to stock again and did the update unrooted and it still failed.
i know you guys hate hate when people ask without researching so i did SOME forum browsing and found nothing. sorry i dont really have time to look too extensively. i just want to know how to fix it. i appreciate any help i can get

Start with getting back to stock using this guide. Check for ICS bootloaders too, you probably flashed them and you have to get stock ones back (careful, flashing bootloaders can cause hardbricking). Once you're back to stock and rooted, you shouldn't need to ever use PC Odin again.
Then use this guide for rooting/flashing.
One other note: when you tried to install CWM, it sounds like you loaded an update.zip onto your phone then tried to install it using stock recovery. Stock recovery won't let you install unsigned update.zips, which is why that method for getting CWM on your phone will never work (hence the authentication error and installation abort). For our phone, CWM is only included in custom kernels, that's the only way to get it on there, and don't even think about updating or changing it via other means. Just flash a custom kernel, it'll include CWM, use it until you want to switch kernels.
Hit my thanks button, I was really nice this time. And post in Q/A next time as well.
EDIT: Skip the second guide if all you want is stock. You should be able to update OTA after following the first guide. Though even if stock is what you want, I highly recommend flashing a custom GB kernel because a) they're more stable and faster and b) you'll have CWM in case you need it.
You started off mentioning about "leak ics" which I have absolutely zero experience.
My suggestion:
1. Try to get it back to stock. Make sure it works correctly.
2. If hasn't rooted yet, do so.
3. Getting CMW into the device by flashing custom kernel.
4. From there, install any ICS ROM you want.
I just rooted my new HTC EVO LTE phone recently because I had to get a new one. Any way, after rooting it, I imminently made a nandroid back up. Then I flashed a few different roms and recoverys. However, what I found out is after I flash a new rom, my wifi says error and won't turn on. I'm not sure what the problem is. And yes, I cleared everything out before flashing a new rom. However, what is even more interesting is I can use my recovery that I made after rooting my phone to go back to the stock rom and it has no trouble with the wifi. I'm not sure why I'm getting this error or how to fix it.
I've thought about flashing some new radios, but I've had issues in the past with this phone trying to make it S-Off, so as a result it is currently S-On. I would like it to be S-off, but after having a lot of experience with it, I've learned it is very time consuming to do and it is a pain to get it to work, it almost always bricks my phone and then I have to go unbrick it in Linux.
I'm planning on running through the rooting method again to see if that does anything, but I'm doubtful. I've also tried updating the prl, profile, firmware and HTC software with no luck. Let me know if anyone has any suggestions. Thanks.

S-OFF is really the way to go if it's still an option for you it's the only way to get the new firmware without relocking and taking the OTA then unlocking and rooting again read post 2 in the lazypanda thread found here http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1737123 just go down the list and verify everything works before running lazypanda there are plenty of members that subscribe to that thread so there is plenty of help availiable
Also, rerooting won't do anything. You're already rooted? Think the problem is in the rom u installed. Possibly a bad download. Try downloading from a good connection and install it again. If it is close to stock like flex's stock w goodies just clear cache and dalvik in recovery.
And what do u mean u tried a few recoveries? Cwm doesnt work well with the evo LTE. Try twrp 2.2 and leave it alone until its updated again.
What is your hboot? What rom did you try flashing?

Im also getting this issue and i know its not anything to do with rooting and all that since ive been rooted since i picked this up from best buy on preorder release day and ive been flashing and running the same rom and mods forever now also i was using wifi yesterday soooo yea lol

First, I don't believe I can make my phone S-off, because it has software version 2.13.651.1 710Rd on it and even though I do have a nandroid back on 1.13 hboot, for the default rom from a long time ago with my old HTC EVO LTE, I can't flash back a hboot to 1.13 so I believe I'm stuck S-On for now. Let me know if I'm wrong.
I've attempted several different roms including fresh rom 5.1.1, viper4G_1.0.0, and a jelly bean rom (cm-cfX-20120904-OFFICIAL-jewel all with the same problem. As for recoverys, I should have said I've tried restoring back to several different nandroid backups that I created in the past that were working just find with my old HTC EVO LTE.
Right now my phone is unlocked and rooted. I am running H Boot-1.19.000, I am S-On, and Radio-1.12.11.0809.
I know this problem has something to do with flashing new roms, because when I do a nandroid back up to the default rom, I don't have this problem, and the wifi is working great, I only have this problem if I try to flash any custom rom or use a nandroid backup that I made with my old HTC EVO LTE.
Again, this is not my first time around the track with an HTC EVO LTE, this just happens to be a new phone that I recently got from Sprint when they were thinking my dropped calls were caused by my phone when in fact they figured out they had a tower down. Since then, the tower is back up, so that is why I just rooted this new phone they gave me.
Let me know if you have any suggestions or if you need anymore information.
It's been while now, and I haven't gotten a real response back yet, and I was wondering if anyone knows anything that will help me out? Thanks.
Edit: Found out that I simply needed to flash the boot.img manually of what ever custom rom that I want to switch to in order to get around being S-On.
Please Help

Hey im having the same exact issue I however went back to my stock backup from right after I rooted. The issue I had was I flashed a CMX nightly. I had been running them fine and suddenly everything went haywire i was bootlooping but only after about 30 seconds after the rom would load up. I'd have just under a minute to fish around and the it would reboot again. it was in this short window that I saw the wifi error and that it would not connect to the sprint network at all for voice or data. Im S-On Hboot 1.15 Evo LTE. I used Flash GUI to go from Stock sense to CMX as im sure youve figured out you have to do. Since i had backups of previous CMX nightlies I tried to just restore But none of my nandroids would fix the looping issue I managed to flash the boot img from the CMX rom i was previously on through adb/fastboot and it took but still my device kept looping. Finally i found this http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1917106 but I didn't have any Sense Based Roms only my Stock Nandroid back up. So i used the Boot Image Flasher Tool, it took, then Instead of rebooting the system I went straight to my custom recovery and restored my Stock Sense BackUp since the tool flashes the stock sense kernel. To my relief the phone booted right up no problem connected to the network and all but to my dissmay the wifi is STILL broken somehow it says error and will not switch on. Everything else seems to be working fine though. This is crucial there is no way I can go without wifi on my phone. I don't want to ruin anything further or permanitely but i do plan to move forward. My plan is to download a sense rom (MeanRom) which im doing now but it's taking forever on 3G. Wipe everything (using TWRP 2.2) Data Dav rom and use super wipe, and try to install MeanRom. If anyone has any other suggestions Im all ears. Also im alittle confused on the Hboot kernel limitations I know I have to use Flash GUI if Im going from a sense Rom to Aosp and vise versa but do I have to use it when say Going to a nandroid backup of a sense rom while currently on a Aosp rom because I couldnt find a boot.img file in my backup file when i used the tool to extract it. I hate S-On HTC really screwed us with this. And I hate my original evo which had S-Off for dying on me on the 15th day and me having to get this replacement with 1.15 im sorry guys I love this phone but it has become a nightmare and the Evo 3D was no walk in the park either. I apprectiate any comment from anyone this is the first time in almost 8 years of hacking I've been truely worried I may not be able to fix something.
Try this....had the same problem during one of my flashing sessions from rom to rom...this fixed it for me.
You also might want to try a different rom with its corresponding boot img. I'm currently running Venom rom with its boot img file and its working great. Right now, it sounds like your kernel is what is giving you problems like mine, so flashing the correct boot img should fix it.

Thank you I'll be sure to try this out quick update, in TWRP recovery I had (force MD5 check on all zips?) checked now I don't remember checking it or if it came checked by default but as soon as I unchecked it I was able to run superwipe and flash MeanRom which both failed multiple times when it was checked on. Not sure if this was the cause of my problem but I agree I think I got a bad kernel in the CMX nightly. Either that or the Flash GUI app didnt exract the boot image properly. Either way I haven't been brave enough to try another AOSP rom man I hate having S-On my first Evo was perfect then I get stuck with this locked down replacement. One question though is that boot image for a stock/sense rom just wanna be sure.
vel7wil's advice worked for me I was having the same issue. Download the zip he recommends. Use flash image gui to flash the kernel and clear dalvik and cache. I just did a standard reboot after that and it said "android updating... apps x of xx" then everything was back to working.
