I have been reading about these updates and I am curious about some things.
Sorry if I come off a bit noobish here. I am frustrated by the inability for the phone to pick up an lte signal on its own (without me changing from CDMA/evdo to CDMA/evdo/lte or turning on airplane mode.)
I am thinking from what I've read that the new baseband addresses this problem. Since I am on hboot 1.15, I would need to unroot to get this and then reroot again if I'm not mistaken. Or would flashing a stock ROM with the 2.13.651 give me that even though it does not show a change in my baseband?
I love the phone and the ROMs that are available on it, I just wish lte was easier to keep.

Welcome to the forums!
The radios are supposed to have improvements with picking up and holding an LTE signal. However, in my experiences new radios don't really ever help all that much.
Since you are on h-boot 1.15 you would have to unroot and either OTA or RUU to get them. Be aware that they may find an S-OFF for h-boot 1.15. Accepting the OTA or taking the RUU will bump you up to 1.19

No don't unroot. Just simply flash a stock rooted 2.13 Rom and flash New firmware through recovery. Don't think you can with 1.15hboot ill have to check.. but don't waste your time and effort. Simply dl and rooted stock/custom 2.13 Rom and you'll be fine

No he can't do that with hboot 1.15. If he wants radio or firmware he has to unroot. Thats why I told him that.
I personally don't think its worth doing so, but thats not my call to make. I gave him the facts and will let OP decide what he wants to do
OK. Next question, I prefer aosp ROMs to stock. I'm currently running PA.
Does this mean I will be using the airplane mode method for a while if I want to enjoy lte?

I been running mean rom and now my phone is incapable of upgradeing past 3.4 do to the system update. I am debating to ruu back to stock and then take the ota so I can contenue updateing my meanrom. only issue I have with doing this. I want s-off and I don't know which may be cracked first. I suppose its better to just stay on 1.15 hboot and update if they cracked 1.19 first.
IMHO. Logic would dictate that the one that's been around longer (1.15) should be the first to cracks but you never know.
Personally I would wait giving yourself the option.

nevermind I don't need to do a ota. I know my phone I can do mostly anything the a s-off person can do just have a couple more leaps to do it. Flash gui image allows me to flash radios kenals and hboots. without doing the ota. only thing I think is I cant downgrade to a previous hboot.. not worried though I just updated to the newest mean rom.
No you can't do radios or firmware.
I'd strongly recommend kernels through fastboot and not the app

i am now on 2.13.651.1 with hboot 1.15 s-on sorry i was wrong on flashing hboot bto 1.19 did not want to do that yet thought it was my only option when I updated to 2.13.651.1 how does one know what radio I am running I thought when flashing the mean rom 3.6 all that stuff was included. I like to check what radio I am running.
I have had no issues with installing kernals with this app. I know I can take the kernel put it on my computer adb folder and install using adb interface.
I was wrong I just got update tp 2.13.651.1 radio and hboot uneffected I am not to worried no lte here in st louis so I can wait
No, roms don't include radios. And if you are on hboot 1.15 you can't update radios so you are stuck with whatever one you got until you take the OTA (dont do that) or soff is found

Hi, its been awhile since being in the root scene. Last being my HTC EVO 4g.
So, I now have the e4glte. It came with software version 1.13, so I'm assuming I have the supported lazypanda hboot. But how would I go about double checking my hboot.
Secondly, once I'm rooted, where can I find the 1.22 ota stock rooted. Havnt been able to find it browsing the forum on my phone
Sent from my HTC EVO 4G LTE using xda premium
To get to the hboot screen first make sure that under Settings>Power, that Fastboot is unchecked. Power off phone then push Power and Volume down at the same time. Should pop up with the Androids skateboarding.
Now for the 1.22 software you'll have to search through develpoment, but you should know that were up to software 2.13 now. 2.13 comes with Sense 4.1 which gave us more to do with, esp the remapping ability of recent apps.
Hope that helps.

Thanks a ton, I did some more research. Seems I have the launch software, but it was nagging about the 1.22, so I thought that was the latest.
Seems I'm one of the lucky ones as I bought this phone today, and I have the 1.12 hboot and the1.02 radio.
So ill I need to do is use the lazypanda method to diff then flash a 2.13 Rom of my choice?
Is there any Plain stock 2.13 roms that anyone can link?

For the most part, yes. But it would also be good to update the firmware and radios which can be found here:http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?p=30865522 Make sure you obtain s-off before attempting this though.
And I tried looking for the stock 2.13 ROM but I can't seem to find it right now. If you can't find it though, I know I should have a copy on my pc that I could put on dropbox for you. Just let me know.

Here's a stock rooted ROM:
[ROM][Kernel] Jewel 2.13.651.1 Stock Rooted - Based on Latest OTA
I'm running:
Rooted 1.22.651.3
LazyPanda S-OFF
Hboot: 1.12.2222
Baseband: 1.02.12.0427
PRI: 2.28_003
PRL: 25010
Haven't updated ROM because I figured I'd wait till JB hit and bugs got ironed out. I also never updated firmware because everyone was saying that you you can never go back after you update. So, my questions:
1. Can I update to newest firmware while staying on an older ROM?
2. If so, should I?
3. Is there any reason to stay with an older firmware (assuming there are no compatibility issues)?
1. Yes
2. Yes
3. No, baring any compatability issues I'm not aware of.
I'm s-on hboot 1.12 and obviously wouldn't want to upgrade my hboot. I can do radio, but I guess that's it?
Sent from my EVO using xda app-developers app
In the Android Development forum there is a thread with the firmware. You can flash the one that says "no kernel/hboot/recovery". That way it'll just update everything else. There are a bunch of files that it flashes but I can't say exactly what each is for except for the radio.
Yes I went with stock with goodies and I have no regrets

No i believe you will have to wait until the .3 RUU is released.
See my post and replies in the Viper thread:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2124391&page=140
I was in the exact same situation. Running Meanbean with the same baseband and firmware.
Following the s-off process at http://unlimited.io/jewel.htm and ignoring the 3.16 part got me back to stock RUU and I was able to s-off no problem.
I ran the Ubuntu liveCD 12.4 from a bootable usb stick.
You *might* be able to do that and get back to stock/unrooted. No guarantees though as what works for one, might not work for the next.
i didnt think the 3.16.651.3 firmware would let you run the .16 RUU

Either did I. But the peeps in that thread were pretty sure it would work and it did.
I think it was because I didn't take the official update to. 3... I used mean bean. Either way, I here is my info after s-off and installing viper 3.0.1

You're not on the 3.16.651.3 firmware. You're on 3.16.651.3 software. Not the same thing.

interesting because when i tried running the RUU for .16 it said i had .3 and it wouldn't work? maybe i messed something up. so does that mean i can run the .16 RUU and achieve s-off even being on .3? damn i wish i would have s-off'd right when i got the phone now lol all these different versions and RUU are confusing as hell.
Just go to the unlimited site, they explain everything, its really simple if you take your time.

I followed some videos on youtube and have the following:
Radio S-Off
4Ext latest
Rooted phone.
I am now venturing into custom ROMs, one thing I realized that I have not taken ANY OTAs in a at least a year and a half on my sprint EVO 3D. So, my System Info is as follows:
Android Version: 2.3.3
HTC Sense: 3.0
Software number: 1.13.651.7
HBoot 1.40
I was looking into Cool ICS Rom, but it says I need to have a newer firmware and HBoot 1.58
I am not sure how to upgrade my firmware?
Can someone please point me in the right direction?
Thanks,
RoSahas.

This is what I am going to try and then install an ICS HBoot after the RUU:

Try installing the firmware only zip of the latest ruu that should work 1.40 hboot shouldn't stop you from installing a ROM in fact I don't think any hboot can don't quote me on that

Okay hboot versions can be incompatible with different roms. Here is a general rule of thumb for cdma (sprint) 3d's. Latest firmware seems to work with every rom. Older firmware will not work with htc's ics roms.
Hboot 1.58 - works on htc's ics roms
Hboots 1.04-1.50 - works with htc's gingerbread roms and source built roms gb, ics, jb.
Now some of the custom htc ics roms will work with any hboot.
Always read the OP and check for requirements. FYI of you are s-off than you can change Hboots without much hassle. I will do a write up on hboot flashing.
Also if a rom wont boot or bootloops after installation it is most likely wrong hboot or you are using old firmware.
