The eLTEvo does not use WiMax, so it's not a concern. Not sure if/how LTE works with any similarity, but LTE isn't in NYC yet, so I can't check ('cause I rooted yesterday ).
HTH,

I'd like to know too
I'd also like to know if this is a potential issue ... but I suspect that it isn't since LTE would be a different technology. I would hope it would function the same as, say, 3G vs. EDGE or something like that, where it's just a difference in radio.
AFAIK: For anyone that doesn't know, the original EVO required encrypted keys to join the WiMax network, and some methods of rooting/flashing the EVO didn't preserve these keys early on.
This probably will not be an issue as lte is using a sim card that is embedded in the phone. You also might want to pm a modern and ask them to move this to q&a.

thanks, wasnt sure were to put this. lol...thought rooting would be the best place.
anywho, thanks all. not that i used 4g all that much after rooting. i sure missed the wow factor when i was not in a wifi area.
just wanted to put the topic out there for devs to check into.
Edit: Misread the OP.
No it you don't loose the keys from personal experience from my og evo and the thi thunderbolt, Lte works in a different way kind of like cdma, they will be radios to flash like the OG evo tho

I don't believe that there would be potential issues. If you notice the LTE / EVDO radios coexist seamlessly and I don't believe that it requires a second level of authentication as WiMax did. I have no way of testing and I could be wrong but unless you do something drastic that may affect the radio portion, then I believe that rooting alone should be OK.
I've had this same concern, as I remember all the people who forever bricked their wimax keys on Evo 4g using one if the root methods, and there was no way to know initially because wimax wasn't up and running yet. Just like now.
But, as stated, the LTE radio resides in the SoC, and shouldn't be subject to compromise. From what I understand.

I'm rooted, dev unlocked and I flashed another rom while wiping every partition on the phone and can still connect to lte
Doesn't the Evo LTE have a non removable sim that handles LTE registration?

Yes.

Seeing as LTE is new to sprint, I'm not sure if it is similar to how the WiMax technology on the OG EVO or the 3D was implemented. As with the former two there was a possibility of losing the WiMax keys, so it was a good practice to make and keep a backup of them. Would there be a need to do anything like that for the EVO LTE? The LTE network isn't available in my area yet but, I wouldn't want to lose the LTE capability by flashing this and that without a fix. Dose anyone know? If so please let me know too, and if there is a way to safeguard your LTE keys for lack of a better description, it should posted just as clearing your settings in google wallet is.

This has been discussed. Searching does help tho. But to answer your question....no you don't have to worry about that with the LTE. Different technologies and I believe that LTE is built into the chip itself.

Is there a way to disable this from apps and whatnot? (I dont know if this has been covered). I don't like it because it covers up the arrow keys.

Specifically I did the following and am happy:
1. rooted with RegawMOD EVO 4G LTE Rooter x64 Note: use x86 if it applies to your PC.
2. flashed STOCK WITH GOODIES 1.44
3. flashed Menu Remapping For Stock with Goodies Working.zip
for extra fun I threw in
4. Dual Core Mod
5. HotSpot Mod
Very Happy with this setup.
BBO
When I first had this phone I absolutely hated the menu button. I've since then rooted and unlocked.

Well I probably would have rooted by now but I have 1 desktop computer with the blue screen of death and my laptops USB ports dont work for some reason. So until I get off my lazy ass and buy another computer THAT WILL NOT BE A WINDOWS! I'm stuck.

I have an evo 3d flashed to revol wireless. They only have 3g data connectivity but was wondering if there's anyway for me to connect my phone to sprints 4G data?

No. It's all or nothing.
There's no way to make my phone roam onto sprints data or anything?
Sent from my HTC EVO 3D
Roaming disables 4g automatically.
Not that I really think this is possible/legal... But they're two different radios... And last I remember while living in a 4g area I was able to roam voice on Verizon while still connected to 4g. Though I don't remember if that was through forced roaming or the Verizon Perl.

Verizons 4g is different than the sprint wimax 4g that we have on our 3vos. But there is a way to get 4g working. Do you have sprint ???? Or boost/vrgnmobile???
