[Q] newest firmware...some help needed - Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE

Started having some problems on meanrom 4.2 and 4.3 where I wasn't recieving text messages so I figured I may as well update my radio firmware and pri. Currently on baseband1.05.11.0606 PRI 2.45_003 hd boot 1.15 s on, of course
I know installing the update will update my boot to 1.19 with less chance of s off but thats why I have flash image gui right, lol.
What process do I have to go through to install the update?
I'm downloading this ruu:
http://beta.androidfilehost.com/?fid=9390062577138008377
I'm currently on the aroma rom is all I have to do is relock the boot loader, install the ruu, unlock the bootloader again install twrp and I will be ready to go?
(EDIT)
or can I download the updates and flash thru flash img gui somehow as if I were s off?? Doubt it but may as well ask

I just want the new radio firmware to help with what I can hope is better reception 3g speeds as mine suck and I'm 3.9 miles away from a tower so yea...on aroma its asking me to download a sprint updat that 171mb can I just do that and install or will I mess up my phone?

You need a stock rom and recovery before you can take an ota

That's what I was thinking so I have to use the ruu, right? Just have to lock the bootloader I thought I read that it was possible to do on cleanrom or something like that tho...wrong?

You don't need to use ruu, flash stock rom, stock recovery, relock and accept ota

Ok just got to find me a stock Rom as I have lost my stock nandroid and ill complete this. Thanks

Not sure about cleamrom, ota can fail if there's been too much modification

Maybe it was fresh EVO I swear I saw something about it and am searching for it currently....if it fails I'm just back to square one...aka where I am now right?

[Q] ?? Evo 3D update

How do you update a rooted evo 3d with hboot 1.5 i am currently on 2.08.651.3 and want to update to 2.17.651.5 so i could flash MeanROM v0.6 or viperrom
you need to learn to search...
couple ways
1) factory OEM lock the phone, unroot, take the ota, unlock again, then re-root.
2) easier way....flash the stock HTC recovery, then take the ota, then flash custom recovery back on. Or at least that is how I understand it, though I haven't done it myself.
Good luck.

so i have to go back to stock and update
Why dont you just flash the new rom? If it's based off of the latest update, then that's what you will get on your phone. Someone correct me if I'm wrong but I dont think you need to unroot, flash back to stock rom, Update to 2.17 and then root again just to install a rom based on 2.17.
the only reason to do it would be for the radio. and for me at least it was all buggy using the new rom with old radio.
Ive read on some post that people update and they bricked there phones

Stupid question

If I'm s-off on venasaur's Rom, can I RUU back to a 2.3.4 build? Do I need to rock the bootloader? I assume I need to re-root and whatnot but, will I lose s-off and have to go back and redo the wire trick?
I'm trying to retrace my steps to get back to stock and reflash a sense 4.0 Rom to get me going using the rezzy as a gsm phone for at&t. I know it can be done because its all over the interwebz and I've talked to people that are using it in the usa on usa gsm carriers. Just need to know how to go back in time to start over fresh. Or do I need to flash the Rom and wipe /system and whatnot?
Trying to undo whatever borked the phone to the point where it reboots at random and won't let me use the dialer. Please someone help a noob here.
I'M A FIRIN MAH LAZOR :[email protected]!!!
No need to re lock if you're s-off. What version is your h-boot? A little more info would make it easier to figure out your problem.
You can just run the GB RUU you won't lose s-off and to root you can just flash a custom rom or install SU from Amon Ra
HBOOT-2.25.2525
Can someone link me to the proper 2.3.4 RUU? Also, im not losing s-off but losing root, do i need to relock the BL before or will it be self locked and all i have to do is re-unlock? Tired and jacked up on redbull to get thru the workday. Went to sleep about 3am

That's it you have a ics hboot with gb firmware. When you ran the s-off program did you use the ics one by chance? Here's the firmware and radio thread. Has downloads to fox your situation. If you're running sense 4 go for the ics with the juopunut bear 2.25 hboot http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?p=25197071
Awesomesauce. Got that working. Got the phone to where.it will hold signal and let me make.a call but, no sms or data. Tried sms bit it failed and, lost signal then popped up a notice about "do you want to send when service becomes available"

Can't update evo 3d!!

I downloaded the over the air update for htc evo 3d and when I try to install it my phone restarts and the htc screen shows then it restarts again like normal. Since things I should mention is that I unlocked the bootloader and had the phone flashed to Verizon. I hope that this didn't have any effect on the update process. Does anybody know a way to apply the update using the computer? I copied the update data to my computer( it's in rar file format).

You cannot upgrade to an official ota with an unlocked bootloader.
Aw Damn! That sucks. Well now I see on room manner a android 4.0 Rom and I just downloaded it. I want to back up my current sense 3.0 and install Tom but can't find a way to install it. Know a way to get recovery my friend?

Not really sure what you just said, but if you want to install a rom, there are TONS of guides on here. Boot into recovery, make nandroid backup, wipe everything, and install (flash) zip.

Well if you are rooted you already should have a custom recovery. If not, you can find the thread for the recovery you want and follow the instructions.
Sorry, dumb auto correction. I will see if I can find another way to install recovery on my phone then. Thanks.

I can't update my Sprint CDMA Evo 3d. I have flashed it to another carrier but i don't thnk ths is the problem. After i go to settings and check HTC Updates it says i have an update available to ICS. The phone downloads(305 MB) update and after that it reboots to Recovery like it was installing the Update but then restart to RO normally and just make a Factory Reset.
I was HTC Dev Unlocked Hboot 1.50 S-ON, so i relocked the Bootloader to run the Full 2.17.651.5 RUU so i'm 100% stock. Any way to install it?

Do you have a custom recovery installed?
I heard you need to be running the stock recovery to be able to use an OTA update.
hope this helps
Nope. The RUU reverts the phone to 100% Stock(Recovery, Radio, FW, etc).

So just grab any ruu and just do the rom again.
will that work since i have S-on still or since its unlocked.
Well, you have the 2.11.605.9 radios.
You'll need the 2.11.605.9 RUU, which I can't find it after numerous searches.
Try flashing this.
This is the full RUU for 2.11.605.19
http://goo.im/devs/trter10/PG05IMG.zip
***Credit to Trter10 for this full RUU***
You may have to root again and get s-off, flash the 2.11.605.19 radios, and then try flashing this RUU.
The 2.11.605.19 radios can be found here:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1605557
I'm not sure if you'll have to do the instructions above or if flashing this RUU will put the radios on there. I'm 99.9% sure this RUU contains the radios as well.

I downloaded and ran the .19 and it completes and goes back to the Hboot screen
it looks the same to me and still having issues loading roms
how do I get the s-off again with only recovery and clockworkmod
I was able to get back into the 4.0.3 leaked Rom
but a lot of errors come up and not able to enable the USB
i got the Debug working and now the software number says 7.00.605.2 710RD
should i try to re-root now or is there a way to get the stock rom onto the phone
anything will help guys
When you flashed it, you should have then tried to unroot.
Right after it was flashed, it should have put you on 2.11.605.19

The errors you are getting are because it is trying to format the file system in ext4 and the kernel can only run ext3.

when i try to unroot i get the error from the all in one that the caralina is not there and it exits
so i cant root that way
is there is a way to root from the recovery/clockworkmod or from the 4.0.3 leaked ICS
how would i kick this back to the Ext3 from the ext 4
thanks for the all the replys
man i feel like a newbie when i ask these questions
I'm on this forum all the time and read other issues.and waiting for the newest rom to hit and when your rooted you feel great knowing this is your phone and not Verizon's.
but know that i broke the screen, i got the new phone and its all rooted and got my rom on it and everything
just the phone i have to return is just jacked and i dont want to get hit with the 150$ non-return fee because its S-on and unlocked and not even a stock rom

Try flashing a stock ruu and an older radio if you're using the leaked radios. The tool can't unroot the ics leak with the leaked radios. I would just download the stock ruu and fast boot flash it. Then try unrooting.

That's what I was saying, but he's on the 2.11.605.9 radios... and I couldn't find the 2.11.605.9 RUU anywhere.
Would he have to s-off and install the 605.19 radios and then flash the 605.19 RUU?
Sent from my ADR6400L using xda premium
He would have to be s off to flash the other radio. Upgrading to a higher version should work s on. You can't downgrade without s off.

I know i looked for the RUU for about 2 hours last night. every link i tried was down.
is there only one RUU i can use? with the radio im stuck on.
not sure what the fast boot will do for me if the Rom or RUUs are not sticking to the phone after i try to update them
if that makes any sense....im not even sure i understand lol
So what files should i flash to in order to go up to a level that matches to a ROM
This way i can re-root, or do i need to just keep onlooking till i find a .9 RUU to match my radio
so i'm not rooted now because i have S-on. right?
but how do i have clockworkMod installed and can get load a leaked 4.0.3 to load?
All i really want to do is stock this and S-on so can return it lol

Use the all in one tool again to root and obtain s-off, and then go back 13 posts to where I posted the RUU for 2.11.605.19 and the link to the 2.11.605.19 radios.
Once you are s-off after using the all in one rooting tool, flash the radios. Once you flash the radios, flash the RUU and run the tool again to unroot.

Try using the All in one tool and get the following error message
i looked it up and it don't like something inside ICS
i know i just cant win
any other ways to root
i tried to reinstall SU and got it to say installed
but S on still and no root when needed in apps
If you're running an ICS ROM, you'll need to drop down to another ROM based off of the 2.11.605.19 software.

I have tried a few different roms all 2.3.2 or 2.3.5 and the ROM completes but when i restart the phone for the new rom to load
it just drops me back to the clockwork-mod screen. the only one that gets past that screen is ICS
not sure what I'm doing that messing it up. i have loaded about 15 roms in the past and all have loaded......damn the S-on lol
Its like it remembers that i had that on the phone so its ok to have ICS but when i go to any other its like it just does not work

[Q] Update 4.05.605.14 710RD on S-ON Phone

Can some please list the details of installing the OTA-Global-Stock-4.05.605.14 710RD-Rooted.zip on a S-ON phone? Or any other way to avoid the OTA update from automatically trying to install and eventually aborting? I'm VERY new to the rooting terminology so please be specific. Thanks!
So nobody can help me with this?
Do I have to uproot and relock the bootloader to get the OTA, or is there another way to flash the update?
to get OTA you have to be relocked. did you check this thread yet?
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2250494
I've read through several of the posts. They seem more relevant to S-OFF, I'm still S-ON. I've re-locked the bootloader but the OTA still stops at the bootloader screen when the phone reboots. Do I have to "flash" the OTA manually from there using a computer (i.e. fastboot flash recovery ..\OTA.zip)?
You also need to be on stock Rom with stock recovery for the ota to work
Sent from my ADR6425LVW using xda app-developers app
That's what I figured, so just go back to stock. I think I can remember to do this (I had to to it a couple of months ago when I got a warranty replacement), but if you have any advice on this it would be great. Thanks!
Are you on the global leak now? If not just run the latest ruu for ics 605.12 which you can find at shipped-roms under vigor.
Sent from my ADR6425LVW using xda app-developers app
Have 3.14.605.13.710RD installed.
You could run the 605.12 ruu as it has the same hboot or extract the stock recovery from that and install it, as long as your on a non modified stock Rom you should be able to get the update.
Sent from my ADR6425LVW using xda app-developers app
Thanks! That worked... BUT... now it looks like I have a bigger problem. I was able to get the updates and re-root but when I was restoring my backup I could not boot up. Because I have the update HBOOT I can't go back and do the stock RUU, I am able to boot up into TWRP recovery but now I am TOTALLY lost. When I shut down from recovery it says I don't have an OS installed, idea ideas?
I got it! Kept reading various posts and re-installed AmonRA instead of TWRP and was able to install the OTA-Global-Stock-4.05.605.14 710RD-Rooted ROM, already had flashed the boot.img. Wow! How does anyone figure out how to do this stuff in the first place?!
