Since there is a lot of confusion about the firmware zips I wanted to give everyone a quick run down about what they are and how they can be used.
Telling Firmware and Update Zips Apart
HTC uses two main types of zip files for their updates. Update zips are the ones most people are familiar with and can be flashed from a custom recovery, while Firmware zips are used for lower level flashing like radios/baseband or bootloader updates. An easy way to tell them apart is by looking at the name, most firmware zips will start with the devices designation such as PJ75IMG. If you open them up you'll also notice firmware zips only contain a handful of large files while update zips contain file folders and their content normally.

Flashing Firmware Zips (If your device is S-ON skip to the next section)
There are three ways you can flash firmware zips:
The first is to rename the file to 'PJ75IMG.zip' (careful not to add zip twice if extensions are hidden), placing it in the root directory of the sd card and then to restart the phone while holding volume down. This brings up the bootloader which will automatically look for the file and try to flash it. Once it completes be sure to rename the file so the phone doesn't keep trying to reflash it.
.
The second way is by command through the recovery. On a S-OFF device, and a handful of HTC Dev unlocked devices, an update zip can pass along a firmware zip to the bootloader and have it flashed once the phone is rebooted. This is how normal updates are installed, however, without S-OFF the bootloader will only accept the request if the firmware zip is from HTC and has not been modified.
.
The third way, using fastboot, is my preferred method and usually the quickest. Simply place the the firmware zip in the folder with fastboot and use fastboot as follows
Code:
fastboot oem rebootRUU
fastboot flash zip PJ75IMG.zip
fastboot reboot
As long as you point it towards a valid file fastboot is not picky about the naming.

Updating Firmware and S-ON/S-OFF
All RUUs and OTAs use firmware zips that have been signed with a special key from HTC. This allows the device to know if it's been modified.
When a device is S-OFF it ignores this key and allows you to flash any valid firmware zip, but S-ON devices will only accept them when the bootloader is relocked and if the firmware zip has not modified in any way.
Since firmware updates almost always contain hBoot (bootloader) upgrades to prevent people gaining S-OFF I don't recommend ever updating the firmware on a S-ON device.

ROM Downloads
These can be flashed from a custom recovery.
I wanted to keep these as close to stock as is possible, so the only modifications made to them were superuser, busybox, the boot.img being made insecure, and the de-odexed version will be zip-aligned.

Shouldn't hurt, but mine was fully updated when I ran everything so I can't say for sure
Should we apply any of these if there's not a Rom ready yet? And also can't we put the file on the external sd card and go to the bootloader and it will automatically find and install the file for the firmware on the external sd card? I'm s off. 1.12 h boot.

This is a pure stock rom. I removed nothing. I only added system level tweaks. I.E. busybox, root, init.d support, and so forth. No apps were added or removed. Just something for people that like a stock looking rom with little to no changes.

It's not doing the bootloader thing for me. Did your latest update remove the necessity of flashing the boot.img in fastboot? Also, do I need to manually create the init.c directory? because it's not present after the flash.

No it is the same kernel and everything just used the official source. I packaged it this way to prepare for the HTC dumlock recovery hack. The only reason you would need to flash the kernel through hboot is if you are HTC unlocked. I am working on the recovery and integrating the dumlock so HTC unlock users can flash kernels in recovery

On this device you are unable to go back and forth like you can on other devices. You need to upgrade hboot for one. There is an s-off upgrade thread by globatron here somewhere that will tell you how to do the upgrade while keeping s-off. Once you do that you can flash this without an issue

put the rom in the same folder as fastboot.exe and type the following

then
fastboot flash zip rom.zip
that should work
This latest update is 4.0.3 and has some nice fixes in for wallet (finally) and a few other things. For a more detailed list of changes and links to the OTA file check out joeykrim's thread here.
I've updated the ROM zip to fix the Wiper App force closes and a few other things that I had found. If you were one who got the force close after flashing the smaller fix below is all you should need to correct it. If you are just now downloading the ROM it's built in so the fix is not needed.

if you are on the latest update (hboot 2.28, radio 2.23.10.0123r/2.23.10.0124r) it is not needed.

Can some one direct me to where the most up to date radio is for the HTC EVO LTE. And if you can be specific in your explanation to which file or files I need to flash, that would be great. I am S-off, so I have no concerns there.

I already found this, but these files look different than what I'm used to seeing. Which file or files for Jewel do I need to flash? Basically what I'm trying to ask is which one or ones are the radios that I need to flash in recovery?

You don't flash them in recovery. There should be instructions in that thread, which would also be the best place to post your question about it.

Thanks, I will take a look at it and message you if I don't figure it out. Thanks.

From my understanding, I simply need to download this file http://api.viglink.com/api/click?format=go&jsonp=vglnk_jsonp_14038262922359&key=24636c05045fe31f69f1eb3e4d641948&libId=004339bf-8139-4787-8c79-40bea463038c&loc=http%3A%2F%2Fthemikmik.com%2Fshowthread.php%3F13192-RADIOS-RECOVERY-FLASHABLE-Jewel-Radio-Collection%26p%3D220556%26viewfull%3D1%23post220556&v=1&out=http%3A%2F%2Fd-h.st%2FRbT&title=%5BFIRMWARE%5D%5BS-OFF%5D%20Jewel%20Firmware%20Collection%20-%20Latest%3A%203.17.651.4%20OTA%20-%20theMikMik&txt=%3Cfont%20size%3D%223%22%3E%22Full%22%20Firmware%20zip%3C%2Ffont%3E and flash it in recovery, and I should be good to go. Is that correct, and is this the most up to date version, because I noticed it doesn't match the version in your signature?
That's not the newest radios, and no, they are not flashed through recovery. They are flashed through the bootloader. If you aren't planning on updating to Android 4.3, however, those are the newest and will work fine. For more info, click the top link in my sig and read the section regarding firmware updates.

You are right, I forgot you do flash them in the boot loader. My question now is that I'm currently on 4.1.1 but may in the future update to 4.3. As a result, can you point me specifically to the file that I need to flash in the boot loader. Is the file I need to flash in the boot loader called 4.13.651.4 Sense 5 Android 4.3 - Odex or is it something else. Sorry for asking such stupid questions, but I'm getting confused.
If you want to update to 4.3 you should run the RUU. That will make sure everything gets updated. The RUU will also change how the internal storage is set up. In that same link I mentioned above, there is a link to all the applicable RUU's for this device.

Thanks for the information. I decided to simply use the older radio link that I linked you that you said is the most up to date version if I'm not switching over to 4.3. I'm planning on getting a new phone soon, so I didn't want to take the time to switch to 4.3 right now. I already flashed the radios and everything looks to be working fine. Thanks for your help.
