Hello,
My EVO LTE used to get somewhat consistent LTE connection. Now I have flashed many roms and recently done an S-Off and noticed that the Radio is a lot worse now. Where can I flash the latest radios, modem, etc.?
Thanks

I currently have an evo 3d. I'm running the latest ICS roms and noticed that my service is terrible. I have read that the radio isn't very good and I'm not the only one having this issue. Is it possible to flash a different radio on the new ICS roms or do they require the current radio only. Oh, and this is on the sprint CDMA network. Thanks for any help...
Nope just has to be for the Evo 3d I use the gb radio on ics even though I get better service on the ics one

In theory, you could flash a Verizon radio to a Sprint phone. I haven't tried it since pre 4G days. For instance, I had Sprint's HTC Hero and I would flash radios made for Verizon's HTC Eris. But only when the Eris would have a newer radio available. I never had an issue. I wouldn't try flashing a WiMax or LTE radio. I bet the developer Toast would have more input as to whether it is still possible or not. I wouldn't just go flashing them because that's pretty much the only way to brick your phone.

My EVO LTE is s-off with hboot 1.12. I installed the latest jelly bean firmware through the bootloader and my radio is now 1.12.11.1119. I've noticed my 3g speeds are much slower and was wondering if I could flash a previous radio. I've done some searching and everything I have read says trying to downgrade my firmware will brick my EVO. Can I flash only the radio through recovery? Thanks for any help.
Yes

Thanks.
Do not downgrade radio if you don't want a paper device.

I think it may be possible to do but it is a very big risk. If you are going to attempt it, you better have insurance. Let us know what happens
I do it. I've never had a problem. I only use the radio from captain throwback zip files. The new radio stinks. My days as home went from900 kbs to 200. I switched to last radio and data came back.

DO NOT DO IT. I did not read Captain's warning in red letters, at themikmik.com, and my phone got bricked. Radios could be rolled back with the OG EVO, but the LTE is a different beast.

I was able to flash an older radio but it didn't help with my 3g speeds at all. I then reinstalled the latest firmware to get the latest radios back. I think sprint was just extra slow for a few days because my speeds are back to normal.
Are your guys who are bricks wiping dalvik and cache? I don't understand why some can and some can't. I bet it's the production date of the phone. Who knows?

Hello all, so basically I'm posting this to share my results on captain throwbacks 3.16 firmware update. I have to evos here with me right now.
1. Evo lte s-off, meanbean 2.83 3.16 ct firm.
2. Evo lte s-off, meanbean 2.84 3.15
Both evos are sitting within a few feet of eachother, both are connecting to airrave and are getting lte signal. I haven't checked yet to see actual signal numbers from both phones but have run some speed tests. Using speedtest.net app running same server on both.
1. Testing an average of 1-2 mbps down
2. Testing an average of 5-7 mbps down
As you can see the tests are wildly different, Im glad i haven't flashed both over yet and was wondering if anyone has noticed considerably slower lte connections??

Is the one with the new firmware updated to the new base? If not the test is inconclusive. Try putting one of the stock rooted ROMs based off the ota.

U mention u r running the 3.16 firmware. How'd you get the screen touch working with meanbean 2.x? I had to reflash the stock rom as I'm in 3.16, I'm S-on though... Might have something to do with it. I'm still a bit green.
He flashed the full firmware update that didn't include the tp.img, which was causing the touchscreen issues.
The advice is free....the bandwidth, not so much

My download and upload speeds have increased as well as the phone being snappier on 3.16.
1st pic=3.16

It might be me but the guest pic is showing showing slower upload, download, and ping. I'm assuming the pics are backwards. If so I'm stumped. Are u in the same location with both tests, what about time and server. I'm kinda scared to update my evo fully if its slower

The faster of the 2 are 3.16. Around the same time and the exact same server/location where screenshot was taken. Unless your s-off I wouldn't because I am not and shot myself in the foot by taking the latest 3.16 OTA. Looks like I'm gonna be stock unrooted until someone figures out the TWRP problem.

I've recently gone through hell trying to root and install ROMs on my friend's HTC Evo for Virgin Mobile. Something I just noticed is that it seems the 3D and V are two variants of the same phone. Is the V the only version of the Evo on Virgin Mobile? If so, does this mean I should look for ROMs/root guides specifically for the V or should the 3D guides be exactly the same? The bootloader shows it as shooter, which means it's a CDMA 3D, but everything referring to Virgin Mobile shows the phone as the V. Can someone clear this up?
The virgin mobile variant of the 3d is the Evo V, only use ROMs from the CDMA dev thread or you will get bootloops

Thanks. I've had a huge headache with my friend's Evo. It got stuck in a bootloop not because I'm not using CDMA ROMs, but because I can't find any ROMs that work with hboot 1.58. And any RUU I use tells me the hboot it's attempting to install is an older version and the update fails, so it's a real mess.

Most sense ROMs will work with hboot 1.58 and sometimes s-on,try those out
