I'm on HBoot 1.15, S-On, how to update radio? - Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE

Is there a way to update my radio even though I am S-On? Please point me in the right direction or explain to me the process. I would greatly appreciate it!
Also, my bootloader is unlocked and I am currently running CM10.
Thank you in advanced!

No problem

The only way now would be to relock your bootloader, take the OTA, and then unlock again. It's speculated that hboot 1.15 has an exploit hidden somewhere in it because HTC updated it in this last OTA, but I highly doubt it is something they will find soon. If you want to have the new firmware now, I would suggest just taking the OTA and using HTC Dev to unlock again.

S-OFF and the 3.14.605.12 OTA

Hi guys.
So I am getting a Rezound on Monday and I plan on doing S-OFF overtop the official ICS OTA.
But I don't want to mess up the phone. Has anybody tried S-OFF with the 3.14.605.12 OTA?
Any replies are appreciated.
Best regards,
Sam

JuopunutBear s off is for the 3.14.605.5 leak, but that leak has the same radios as the ota.
I personally used the s off method while running 3.14.605.10 firmware with no problems so I don't see why the ota version wouldn't work

You truly don't NEED s-off to get most of the roms to work while on the OTA firmware. Although, the phone will come with gingerbread. I say keep s-on/no root for like a week or 2 just so you can work out any kinks if you get a bad one. Also yes at this point, our current s-off procedure cannot really be patched up.
I think it should work with 3.14.605.12 also. I performed s-off being on 3.14.605.10

Do you mean you can't go back S-On? Because yes you can. There's a thread in the dev section about it; it's just a fastboot command ("fastboot writesecureflag 3" or something like that).
Like the others have said, you should be able to S-Off when on the OTA since it has the same radios as the .5 and .10.
Thank you for your replies guys. I appreciate it. Do any of you recommend stock or an ICS rom to flash? I haven't had a HTC since I had a OG Droid Incredible (awesome device) so Ive been out of the loop for a while now. Lol.

No. You misread, It will be Verizon's failure if they attempt to patch up the s-off wire trick. Sorry I give more info than what's needed. For the OTA & S-off is concerned. Yes the current procedures work with the OTA's firmware.

Oh, I get what you mean now. You mean the vulnerability used to gain S-Off cannot be patched, at the moment. Yeah, misread that initially, my bad.

Need help?

I have been helping out quite a few people lately and thought I would offer my help and knowledge to anyone who needs it. Have a question? Need help finding a file? Hit me up on Gtalk @ [email protected]
I may not be able to answer right away but I will get to you. I did something similar when we got s-off and ended up walking around 30 people through the process. I may not have all the answers but I will do my best to help in any way I can. Apparently others are trying to "help" and if you choose to follow their advice if you brick your phone you are on your own.

Uh, I could use some help, but not sure if it's up your alley. However I'm not allowed to post in the proper forum because of my n00bness so yeah... Anyway I'm running the new ICS on my Rezound and using the MinimalText widgit. Basically, is there any way to make numbered notifications pop up on the widgets you create and place? An example would be, is I used MinimalText to create a simple "EMAIL" icon. However I want a little notification to be able to pop up on that icon telling me how many new emails I have. Same with SMS. Any help would be cool, and if not no worries. Thanks.

I know if you use nova laucher prime there is a secondary app called something like tesla unread. So if the theme works with tesla launcher it could be done. Tesla unread makes its so if i have a text it will have a 1 next to my message icon. here is a link,
you have to use nova launcher with this add-on, https://play.google.com/store/search?q=tesla+unread

I have a question. I want to upgrade to the new RUU. I have made a few changes and have no idea where I am with my firmware GB ICS? It works so I leave it alone.
I am S-Off, rooted and relocked but I cannot get the latest OTA update automatically. (Probably because of the custom recovery)
hboot - 2.11.000
radio - 0.95.00.1118r/0.95.00.1223r
Amon-RA recovery 3.13

Android Version 4.0.3

Where do I start? Removing the Amon-RA?

I think if you run the .12 RUU you should be back on track to receive OTA's again, if not mistaken.
Just download the new RUU name it PH98IMG and flash it in bootloader (hboot). Afterwards you will need to flash a recovery and youll be all set. Being locked, unlocked is irrelevant as long as your s-off. Meaning you never need to unlock as long as your s-off.

You are on the last gingerbread release. Run the new RUU as stated and if you decide on AmonRA for recovery make sure you use v3.15. 3.13 will not work on ICS firmware.

[q] how to get ota updates if s-off?

I was wondering if any experienced DEV or anyone with correct information can tell us what we will need in order to receive an OTA update (be it tomorrow or whenever) if we are S-OFF? Please verify which ROM,RADIO,HBOOT,etc.. we need to be on in order to receive the update. Thanks to whomever can assist.

Devs will get the update and put out a new ROM. Someone will pull the new HBOOT out of the update package and you'll flash in the bootloader.
Just like before.
Thread moved to Q&A.
If you want to stay rooted don't ever accept OTAs. Wait till someone posts a rooted version instead.
Thanks guys. Also, will a new hboot be required to flash a rooted jb sense rom.?
dont take the OTA
wait a couple days for the files to be dumped then we will make roms for it
i know i will be porting my rom to this goodness

Hboot is the only piece you don't want. What I did last time was download the pcimg file that contained latest firmware, radio, pri, prl, etc...
Make sure it dosen't contain kernel, hboot, or recovery.
Flash the new radios by booting into boot loader, then wait a day or two until ur favorite rom maker has updated their rom. Then flash that with recovery

Not entirely true, you can lose soff but root is easily achievable. HTC allows the bootloader to be unlocked for development purposes. You would still be able to unlock and flash recovery. From there you can flash a Rom and then kernel in fastboot

If you aren't s-off, the only way to update the radio is to take the ota. There has been an s-off method that's easy to use now for awhile and if you haven't used it yet than you might as well take the ota since s-off must not be important to them.

tampered/locked/s-off [solved]

VERY long story how I got here, won't get into it. I'm now on hboot 1.12 and need to re-unlock my bootloader. As stated in title, I'm s-off with a tampered/locked status. If someone can point me in the right direction, that would be awesome.

If you have s-off, you don't need to unlock. You can flash things through the bootloader. What are you trying to do? Recovery? Update firmware? Once you're s-off through Lazypanda or Dirty Racun you keep s-off.

That should be all you need to do. Be careful with firmware though. Make sure to do it in order. Flashing straight to the newest one has been causing bricks.

Upgrade, root, then s-off. Try reading around before jumping in. Take a look at the guide in my signature; it's everything needed for s-off.
