Hey guys, the OTA update from rogers HTC Evo 3D ICS has been released and i would like to up date my phone. The problem is that im running LeeDroid_3D_V5.4 and it doesn't seam to have a software update option in the settings menu.
So my question is, for me to get this update, must i restore my phone back to the original software using the Rogers RUU that i have downloaded?
Thanks, Peter
I am in the same boat here.
Everyone always says when you have root you shouldn't update your phone, just wait a little while and the devs will upload a version that you can flash without losing root.
Well I have yet to see this happen, it has been like a week since the ICS update and all the devs are using a still updating roms with a cluster**** of random leaks and bases.
Can someone just upload the stock rogers ICS rom so I can flash it without losing root and not having to flash back to my stock RUU?
I mean if we have all these versions of the official rom why are you guys still using leaks at all?
Check out Virtuous Shooter, it's pretty close to stock and most of the changes are performance related anyways.
PS A lot of the ROMs aren't using leaks anymore...

From my understanding, to take the OTA, you must relock your phone and then run the RUU. I would just wait until one of the talented devs builds a ROM based on the OTA because it will be much better anyway.
Ok. Thanks a lot everyone for there imput , I am thinking ill just hold out untill a stock Rogers ICS is released rather then do all that work to just have to reroot and probably end up installing another ics Rom over it anyways. I'm thinking this will be by King Cobra Roms as he always dose stock roms, so ill see what he comes up with. I am really looking forward to features in 4.0 and 4.1 . So hopefully they can get there buts in gear , put out a nice Rom, and ill buy them a few coffees and a pizza Thanks again everyone , have a good one !

Hi, I updated ota to android 2.3.3 for my evo 4g. I'm a noob so bear with me. I'm unimpressed with 2.3.3 and I want to install the kingdom revolution sense 3.0 rom. From my understanding, the first step is to root. However, it seems that there isn't any root available for this software update. Is there anything I can do besides wait for possibly unrevoked 3 to be updated? I also need to install amon ra so that I can install the rom. If my thought process isn't right please correct me. I've never tried modding my phone before. Thanks.
bump bump. can i get an answer here??
Unless your S off you'll need to wait til a New root is released Im guessin weeks rather than days. Just keep an eye out when its releases it will be obvious

Alright thanks man. I'll be on the lookout.
Same situation here. Been meaning to root for a while but didn't start digging until this week after I had already taken the OTA gingerbread update.
Been asking in #unrevokedtest on freenode, nothing yet. Hopefully they get this going.
I got a replacement evo with 2.3.3 PRE INSTALLED when they said they re-called the 2.3.3 update and not to update it was pre installed so im either waiting for a new root also or till my 3d evo comes on the 24 I was order number 1

My Evo was rooted ising unrevoked3 + unrevoked forever. When i updated OTA to GB 2.3.3. I first had to unroot my evo,but i didnt use the s-on patch bcuz i thought that as long as i was s-off i could root my device.again once updated,but the only thing it did was make it so i could roll back to 2.2. So my Evo is using the official GB 2.3.3 update & is S-off. Ive tried every root method i can think of,including GingerBreak,which did qork on a few other devices. Since i can still rollback to 2.2, i can stkll flash other GB roms,but i like Sense too much,its one reason i like HTC devices. If anyone knows how to root the evo with 2.3.3 with s-off please post for everyone like me. This is the.first time unrevoked hasnt been able to.root my evo aftr an OTA update,but the past updates were still uaing 2.2.
I also havnt heard of a recall on the GB Evo update. A Sprint rep told me that the evo will most likely get the update to 2.3.4,but he hasnt heard of a recall. He said the netflix app should be working again within 3-6 weeks from the update.
Any word why the update has been recalled. Evrythings been workin for me,xcept when using talk-to-text for sms msgs. It seems almost as stable as the final 2.2 update. The first 2.2 froyo version on the evo had mor bigs/glitches than the current 2.3.3 update. It would be nice if they reissued/resent a new GB update making the talk-to-text work perfect again. It works most the time,& wen it does work its faster & more accurate than before on 2.2, but every now & then i hav to yell,but turning off fast-boot & a simple off/on reset evry mornin & my evo runs good on 2.3.3. Id just like to know why the recall. So if someone still running froyo tries to update OTA that the update has been pulled,& it wont update?.Its no longer available then?
i have the same thing lbcary.. running GB 2.3.3 with s-off, gingerbreak doesnt work on my evo.. i could go back to 2.2 but i dont wont too.. and i have a mac not a pc.. but im using a pc to run autoroot but there is no update for autoroot yet.. is there anyway to root my evo when i already have s-off on the 2.3.3 GB?

is this true? can anyone confirm?
The two guys running gingerbread with s-off. Roll back to 2.2, root and install custom recovery ( clockworkmod) and then install the rooted stock 2.3rom through clockwork mod. It is the same as ota update, but rooted already.
And in the future just wait a couple of hours,a rooted version of an ota update is ussally available same day. Just install the zip like any other rom and if you are going from a stock rom to stock rom you dont have to wipe data, I have done it that way each time and never had a problem, just wipe cache.

HI
I have a question regarding ICS update. since I have not rooted phone yet and i am stll using stock firmware(rom). my question is if I update to the official ics release will I be able to root it and install custom roms in the future? I am asking this because I am worried that by updating it might update it self to baseband to newer version that cannot be rooted.
Can you please confirm that its safe for me to update so I will be able to modifiy in the future?(bear in mind i have not moddified anything yet(basedand bootloader rom etc and i will want to do these in near future after i read enough tutorials)
thanks

It's safe to upgrade to ICS 4.0.3, because I have done it when I got my EVO 3D, then unlocked & root successfully! So don't worry, but anyway, 2.3.x is more easy to unlock, root & s-off, because my 4.0.3 phone can't be S-OFF.

safe? yes, but not recommended IF you want to flash custom roms in the future.
Much better to unlock bootloader, root the phone go s-off and flash custom roms. The upgrade will change your HBoot which limits your options.

It's right, my hboot now is 2.05.0000, and i can do nothing with it!!!

To add to what zcink said, if you have patience, the VM leak custom Roms will all incorporate or realign to the Sprint ota once it's released. The ics we run now through custom Roms is most likely better now than what Sprint will push out and definitely will be better once the customs realign. We just need HTC to release source for better kernels.

JB isn't even in Alpha stages for GSM users.
OP, if you want to upgrade to ICS, use a custom ROM as said before.
Once your HBoot gets upgraded, you'll have a lot of trouble in an attempt to root again.
Plus, custom ROMs are better!
Hi guys, I've tried many ICS roms here but unfortunately everyone has bugs and problems...
Is there a bog standard rooted 3VO EU ICS rom here to download without any modifications? Just a plain rooted OTA ICS rom?
Also where can I download old PG86IMG.ZIP radios for the 3VO, radios from gingerbread days? I've noriced a big drop in signal strength and stability with the new radios floating around since ICS came along...
This section is for development. If you had looked, one of the stickys is
[Tutorial - How to revert back to Original ROM for backup or warranty purposes]
Which shows you how to revert. You can then OTA update. Please post in the relevant section next time.
Thanks for the info but you haven't even tried to answer my question.. I know about HTC standard OTA updating....I don't want an un-rooted OTA update.
I'm asking if there is a Bog standard un-moded rooted EU ICS 3VO rom available to download here in XDA?
I'm surprised if there isn't because that's the standard first thing devs release....
There are tens of different moded ICS roms to try in XDA, everyone with individual mods and many bugs... Im looking for a Bog standard un-moded rooted EU ICS 3VO rom

1. Wrong section.
2. I will try to answer your question anyway
You can root the OTA ICS rom yourself.
1. Install it
2. Unlock bootloader
3. Install custom recovery
4. Install SU 3.x.x via recovery
Voila, you're rooted.
There is a thread with all stock roms. It also has the RUU for ICS.
The problem you're having in signal strenght is not something I can comply, so I cannot agree with that. I have used all (yes...seriously, I've tried them all ) ICS Roms here and no signal strenght issues whatsoever.
The GB radio's... there is a thread also that has all ROM's , Kernels and firmware's listed. It's a sticky, so easy to find.
Not that I don't want to provide any links, it's just that I am really lazy today
edit: holy crap you guys are fast.

No, you need to flash the superuser.zip through recovery.

Because of leaks, thanks to mdeejay, development was instant so when ruu was released the devs were ahead of the game, and the need for a stock but rooted Rom wasn't really necessary for ics, if you wanted gb its in here somewhere, you could revert to that, then update to ics ota, and then re flash recovery and in root, after unlocking the boot loader

Why do you want to install a stock (non-optimized rom)? when you can install mwakious rom, for me is the best one, no bug whatsoever, very fast and very stable. Just try it.:fingers-crossed:
I've used makios's rom more than others and also in my opinion the best out of all the moded ICS roms.
But it also has some bugs in sense apps, such as sense mail and friends and facebook and wifi connection is effected by these bugs.
Anyway the mwakious thread is the place to talk about that...
I'm still downloading the RUU_SHOOTER_U_ICS_35_S_HTC_Europe_3.28.401 .1_Radio_11.7...its a slow file server

I am Using HTC EVO 4G LTE in india under reliance india network.
I am using it for almost 2 months without any issues,
Last week i installed the Jelly bean OTA, from them onwards the device keeps on restarting every 5 min.
Its boots perfectly works stably for 5 min and then it re-starts.
I dont know what to do? .. Will downgrading to ICS will fix this problem.?
If so whats the best method to downgrade .. I am noob when it comes to this device. Please guide me.
I checked the forum but its with too many posts and got confused on it.
Honestly the first thing I would retry is a factory reset(if your not already s off) just make sure to backup any data you want saved onto your pc first. Perhaps even a phone call to your carrier as well that way they can document the issue so if you need a replacement later the paper trail will help.

Cant get a replacement as i am in india right now, this is a sprint phone, i programmed it for indian carrier and using it.
I tried the factory reset already but it didnt help at all.
Can you tell me as how to downgrade to ICS 4.0.4 version, that was very stable in my mobile.

There is probably ten thousand more people on here that can give you a more qualified answer than what I'm about to but I can tell you right now your gonna have to do the leg work and work your search bars...But I have recently been dealing with downgrading these EvoLTE's lately so I can at least help you narrow it down(a little).
Since you upgraded to JellyBean, I think the most important thing you will need to know is whether it updated you from the 2.13 firmware to the 3.16 firmware and whether your touch panel img was updated or not. If you were updated to 3.16 with the new touch panel, your basically going to have a heck of a hard time trying to downgrade to ICS...You'll have to get s-off and use a linux/ubunta live cd to downgrade it back to 2.13 so that you can then load a ICS rom. (BTW, if your in this boat, good luck because until they come up with a easier way to downgrade(if they ever do) it seems to be no joke, I wouldn't even attempt it, but I'm pretty much a noob to this stuff)
If your still, hopefully, on 2.13 , then all you should have to do is unlock your bootloader, and add the ICS rom to your sd card and flash a TWRP custom recovery then flash/install the rom through the bootloaders recovery(TWRP recovery). I would recommend the MeanRom ICS rom, it's easy to find and a great ICS rom that is basically stock. That or hunt down a stock 4.0.4 rom. Good luck.

Most likely not. When the EVO got the official update to software version 3.16, the firmware that came with that update included an update to the touch panel. If you have the updated touch panel you can only use ROM's that are software version 3.16. Using anything else will render the touch panel inoperable. Your best bet, as stated above, is to get S-off. Once you do this you can install the previous touch panel driver and flash an ICS ROM. You can leave everything else as-is. There is no need to downgrade your firmware.

I am running a custom rom at the moment and I dont believe I ever updated the stock firmware. I have been looking everywhere to see what exactly is the benefits of the new firmwares, but I cant find anything about them. Can anyone explain to me if its worth going back to stock......getting the OTA upto 4.3 and then having to go through the whole rooting process again and putting a custom rom on? Thanks much!
It's easier to just s-off and then update the firmware so you don't need to wipe your device

Well nevermind about that...........I cant take S-off..........Im on Dirty Unicorn 4.3 and when I try to use revone and set up for S off (the part where after you do it you have to reboot) it just automatically reboots my phone everytime
