If I'm s-off and I update the firmware will it make me s-on? And if so should I just update the radios?
How do you plan on updating? Aha either way..download the firmware and flash through your bootloader if you're s-off. Flash the radios only if you're s-on. There are plenty of threads to gather info..

I don't think we can update radios as of yet on hboot 1.5. That would require s-off.

You gotta relock run the 2.17 ruu the unlock ,flash recovery and superuser that's the only way

that sucks. Do yall know if it is worth updating to the latest radio.
It's is if you plan on flashing new roms plus the 2.17 update its a lot better running

ok. thanks
Should hboot be updated to the newest version after s-off? Are there any downsides? Will it affect s-off or anything down the road?
I am currently on 1.12.

You will maintain soff but you don't need to update through ruu or ota to have the latest firmware update. Just grab the firmware zip from development and flash it to get the latest updates

Great answer. First EVO LTE that I am supporting for a friend of mine. Didn't want an assumption to bite me in the ass.

No need to update your Hboot. You're S-off and rooted, which is all you need. You can flash kernels from recovery now
The advice is free....the bandwidth, not so much
Thanks for replies.
I thought hboot upgrade is required as I was not able to flash CM10 successfully.
Maybe update twrp recovery through goo?

I upgraded my hboot and firmware using the firmware zips on here to the current hboot

Neither hboot or current firmware are needed. It's recommended you update your firmware but there's no need to update hboot.
Thanks a lot guys..

Flash a 3.17-based ROM. If you're S-off you can also upgrade your firmware to the latest version. Then you'll be updated:thumbup:

If you're s-off you can just flash the firmware without changing your ROM. Just go to Captain's firmware thread: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1704612
I have an at&t version m8 on nV rls4. Radio is 1.14. Neither sunshine nor the other s-off method will work on my phone. I get the whelp error or thr "incompatible" error.
Is there a way to update my radio without flashing a stock rom and locking recovery first?
Love the rom. Download speeds are fair at best on lte which is why i want to update radio.

Flashing a radio.img? No.
What hboot version? It shipped with hboot 3.16, so unless you changed it, it should still be so (it looks like you haven't gotten the OTA update, as this would have updated your radio to 1.16). AFAIK, only the newer hboot versions are what is blocking firewater s-off method. I would try to flash the stock rooted ROM and try firewater again. AT&T variant with hboot 3.16 should have no issue with firewater; as this is how I got S-off. And the only difference I can see is your custom ROM. It wouldn't think a custom ROM would make a difference, but its worth a try.
The other option if you still can't S-off, is to accept the software 1.58 OTA update or flash the RUU. As already mentioned, it will update your radio to 1.16. But if experimenting with various radios is you goal, this isn't the solution.
Thank you. Yes i am 3.16 still. I will try your advice and report back.
