I know this is probably not the best place to ask, but I am a newb so I cannot post in the proper area.
I tried doing the OTA 2.89.651.2 update to my EVO 3D flashed to MetroPCS running 2.3.3 & HTC sense 3.0. Instead it just seemed to do a factory reset and nothing was updated. Is there something I am missing here? Is there a different method to updating if your phone is flashed to MetroPCS?
I assumed it would take the update and then I would have to get my phone reflashed by MetroPCS. From there I was going to follow BloddyKillers guide to get the MMS and 3G working again if necessary.
Can somebody point me in the right direction or explain the process to me so I can learn to perform the update so that my flashed MetroPCS Evo 3D shows 4.0.3 with HTC sense 3.6? Thanks.
Also, my phone was unrooted in the past and S was turned back on if any of that helps. I am willing to root and turn S off again if I have to.
Instead of taking OTA, flash the latest shipped RUU through a PC. It's available in one of the topic somewhere on the forum.

i have HTC View, and now is keep restarting on boot, i dont know what matter with it, and am trying to recover it from bootloader, but it seems i dont have the orginal image on sd card, doesn any one have a link for it to download, i've searched sprint and htc website, and nothing found.!!
my flyer started doing this today.what rom were you using?!?!
htc logo then reboot. very warm.
wtf
Have either of you done the OTA updates? If not you can use the RUU found here to restore to factory settings. I believe it will revert everything except S-OFF / Revolutionary if you went about unlocking it. Hope this helps!
Cheers,

really i didnt any updates as i know, it just crashed by it owns, and i use the original ROM, so where i can find post about s-off for it?
RUU.exe
Download the above file and run it on any windows based computer and it will restore your device to stock. After you do that, if you want s-off / root, go to http://revolutionary.io and follow the directions posted there.
That should get you up and going again.
File deleted no longer there anybody know where I can get it
....you'll probably get answers in the Evo threads, I think I've comes across a few regarding this.
Sent from my Rooted HTC EVO View 4G (Honeycomb)
So i rooted my evo like on thursday or friday and even before the root ive been having restart issues, I rooted, erased everything as usual and added the HTC one port for the evo (ICS And all that) and it was also doing it, so i erased everything again and installed Meanrom.
im on hboot 1.3.
please help?
-------
EDIT: actually it's 1.4,
i swear it used to be 1.3....
What method did you use to root? Which meanrom version did you flash? Are you s-off? The more information you give the better chance of us being able to help.
my dads is doing the same thing and his is unrooted so it might be hardware. i'm sure sprint would trade it out for you as it won't be their flagship for much longer

I flashed my Sprint 3D to Cricket and received an HTC notification to OTA to ICS.
For some reason the HTC unlock method will not work me, I am stuck on GB stock, and although I know I can Hboot downgrade and Revolutionary or RUU to GB stock again, I am not feeling adventurous enough to "brick" my phone today or want to deal with a RUU.
I have a QPST profile saved in case the radio update affects my CDMA settings, and would have no problems just rewriting the info to phone, but I'd like to see if anyone has accepted an OTA from HTC in this way on a flashed HTC phone and what the outcome was. There is not much about this online!

If anyone is curious, I decided to accept the OTA and it worked, even though I am flashed to cricKet.
Haven't tried picture messaging to see if my APN's have been changed.
Everything else works!
I updated my htc evo v 4g with the wrong RUU to unroot it. It was the sprint ruu. Then I updated the system and everything up to the march OTA update so now it has 2.95. Then something happened in between there, so now there is no rom installed. it only will show htc logo screen or hboot (1.58). I tried rooting but recovery wont flash correctly. Tried using various ruu files none work either. I really need the 2.95 latest sprint ruu file. Please does anyone have it.

Not sure why you would want a sprint RUU if it is supposed to be a Virgin Mobile phone (Evo V 4g), but two threads I can think of that may help you...
UnknownForce's [TOOL] Ultimate Recovery Tool 3.1 (Unbrick, Downgrade, VM Radio Fix/Reset)
Ramjet73's [Guide] Quick And Dirty Evo 3D/V Root & S-OFF (Sprint and Virgin Mobile Only)
Haven't seen Ramjet73 around lately, but Unknowforce is still patrolling his thread and he is one of the most knowledgeable about the differences between the Virgin Mobile/Sprint partitions and files so that is probably where you want to start. If you can get back to a correct "stock" state, then you will be able to use either thread to get S-Off and continue on for root/recovery/custom roms.
Hope that helps.
I have a rooted and soff EVO LTE and in wanting to up to 4.3 ROM I understand I need to update my bootloader. When I try loading a couple 4.3 roms my phone starts ups but reboots after displaying the HTC white logo screen.
I currently have hboot 1.19.0000 and if I understand correctly I need to update to 2.10 It also has Team Win Recovery 2.2.1 which I'm not sure if that needs updating or not.
It has been awhile since I rooted or updated anything and when I did in the past I followed instructions for the entire root process so I'm a little stuck in getting things patched up.
Can anyone offer me the path to proceed? I'm only messing with my old phone as I plan to reactivate it as I'm having terrible issues with my new HTX M8 in not having any data nor able to make calls (due to the Spark support in my local towers throwing chucks since Sprint doesn't have their towers upgraded yet.
Perhaps I should ask, am I on the right path in needing to update my hboot to update to 4.3?

I think never mind, after more reading I believe my problem is I don't have s off which appears to be required, let me get that done and I will see were I'm at......
You can run the RUU for the latest update (Android 4.3). That will get you the latest bootloader and put you on the new partition layout, also. You will only be able to flash ROM's based on the new layout. You'll need to update your recovery version, also. For the RUU click the top link in my sig and scroll down to the bottom of the first post. You'll need to relock your bootloader to run the RUU. Running the RUU does not require S-off and there are instructions in the post I mentioned that detail how to run the RUU.
You should also read the first several posts in the thread linked below:
