I am looking for the 2.17.651.5 with hboot removed (I dont want to lose hboot 1.4)
I used freeza's aio update from here but My firmware is still 1.13.651.7.
It's been awhile since I was at this point. I just got out of the virgin crapware and still trying to get my phone back to normal! lol
But like I said I do not want to lose my hboot 1.40.
Update I believe I found what I was looking for HERE I am just confused on what version to get odex or deodex not sure what the difference is or if it makes a difference if I am going to flash a rom.
I'm thinking you need to do it again. For whatever reason it didn't take. The aio file is what I've used in the past without problem. The second link you posted is for a full rom... That's not necessary if all you're trying to do is update your radio
Yeah I am looking to update my ROM but not my hboot

I think you are ok. I went through the downgrade process and used the all-in-one and am showing my build number as 1.13.652.1. My hboot is 1.4 s-off and I have no issues flashing any Ics or GB Rom.

1.13 and 2.17 are Rom bases, right now you are on 1.13 Rom with the firmware that came with 2.17. Flash a Rom based on 2.17 and your phone will show 2.17 in settings>about phone>software info. however you can see your pri version and baseband version have changed.

Exactly this. The Rom I am on is based on the VM leak, hence the 1.13. Roms labeled 2.17 are based on the last GB ota. I left my firmware and radios on 2.17 since that is the last official Sprint firmware update, but my Rom is 1.13.

just realised that 1.13 is the ics leak base build.
i'm assuming 2.17 is the gb base build?
thanks, guys...

Yes.! But there is also a SPRINT 1.13 firmware (it was one of the very first one on the 3vo and had hboot 1.4). The new 1.13 is a virgin mobile firmware version

ohhhh...
so, since downgrading i'm probably on the *sprint* 1.13 build since we had to flash the ruu in order to downgrade the hboot.
then, i'll have to ask my original question:
after downgrading i only updated my radio.
before flashing mikvirgin (based on the ics leak) should i have flashed an updated build#?
2.17? although, i think that's gb based, right?
or, can i just leave my base at 1.13 and flash whatever roms i want to?
thanks guys...
Okay, So I've got s-off, unlocked, rooted, all of that stuff going on right now. I've been reading through and I'm so confused on how to upgrade from stock GB to ICS. I see so many methods for different roms, Can someone point me in the direction in I need to go? I'm currently running software number 2.01.605.11 w/ PRI 1.13_002, 1.88_002
Depends what you want to do....
If you dont care for new radios and such, flash an ics Rom of your choosing and then flash the old firmware patch.
If you want new radios run an ics ruu (2 times, 1st time only updates some stuff and you'll have issues unless you do it 2 times) then flash an ics Rom of your choosing.
Also upgrade to amon ra 3.15 if you are on an older version. 3.15 is updated for the changes in ics

Ok, I would like the latest RUU, but do I flash through recovery, or rename and flash through hboot or something?
EDIT: I currently am running Ra 3.15
Flash through hboot as a ph98IMG
Run it twice then you'll need to put amon ra 3.15 again.
I'll attach a copy of amon ra 3.15..... You can rename it to ph98img and flash it in bootloader the same way. Or you can use whatever way you prefer.
Edit: here's the link

Thanks, That's what I thought. I use to be familiar with this when I was using my thunderbolt. But "upgraded" to the LG spectrum and there was absolutely no development for that phone for the 4 months I had it. So I lost touch. BTW never get that phone. I honestly hated it more than any apple product...which to me is a lot of hate
Ok, so I flashed the 3.14.605.5 Ice Cream Sandwich ZIP RUU, I'm still s-off, unlocked and running RA 3.15 . but now it saying I'm not rooted.
Can't you root it again through AmonRa??
I believe there is an issue with ICS. Just flash a rooted stock ROM.

That's what ended up doing after updating to the 3.14 firmware. Just installed the stock rooted 3.14 ROM.

Ok, downloaded stock rooted deodex rom and everything is good. it's recognizing root again

I've been running MeanRom ICS. I wanted to give the sprint stock version a try. What's the best way to do this?
Thanks.
Oh, read the forums, I think about a gizzilion boot loops, problems, issue's

Well since you can't update ota if you are rooted, just find a stock rooted rom and flash it just like any other rom. As you SHOULD know from reading, you can't run the new kernel without the new hboot, so update to that if you want to use the new kernel.

The 2.4 version I do believe was based on the VM leak. His newest 2.6 version is based on the latest Sprint release, and works just great. I have been running it with no issues.
If you have S-off , you can upgrade the hboot and kernel to the latest. If not, you can leave the kernel and hboot you have and just flash the rom.
Just and idea.
Hey everyone, I was just curious if it's safe to flash the ICS global RUU if I'm on the modified JB firmware? I thought I had read about people bricking while flashing back to a stock firmware so that's why I was asking. Do I need to go back to S-ON/stock GB, upgrade from Gingerbread firmware, and re S-OFF?
Edit: My current firmware is the latest modified ICS leak, not the GB version.
You should be good to go. The bricks were from turning the secure flag back on while on a modified hboot

I upgraded to 4.03.605.1 (first global leak) and it gives you the 2.27.000 Hboot. After I finished installing, I then flashed the JB Hboot for 3.14.605.5 and it works fine.

if you are s-off and you are flashing the ruu. it will no brick unless you pull the battery when its updating.
make sure you are 60% or higher on battery life.
make sure you back up internal storage, ruu WILL wipe it automatically.
Cool, just wanted to double check. Thanks for the help guys, much appreciated!
You don't need to do the whole RUU if you're s-off, just use the Firmware thread in the dev section, there's already one packaged with the new firmware and the 2.25 Jbear hboot.
I had been running CM10.1(deck's build) on my phone as my daily driver for a while. At some point I was unable to get 4g anymore and wanted to update my PRL (from 25010 to 25012) thus needed to switch to a Sense ROM.
I followed instructions on the MeanBean ROM thread for S-OFF users and upgraded my firmware from 3.15.651.16 to 3.16.651.3 using Captain_Throwback's firmware from here
Now that my PRL and profile are updated, I want to go back to my nandroid backup of the DD CM10.1 ROM and am wondering if I need to downgrade my firmware back to 3.15.651.6 to get the AOSP ROM to work, or if downgrading would brick my phone.
I am S-OFF, hboot 2.09.4444 and did not install the latest tp firwmare.
As long as you did not do the tp firmware then no need to downgrade.
