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?

Hey Fellas, i used Revolution to root my phone, i have since put many roms on my phone, the rom i currently have is shooter sense 3.0....i love the ROM its awesome, i am in a 4G coverage area and my 4G just says scanning but never connects, just says scannning, so i restored back to some stock rooted rom that i d/l online, 4g still doesnt work. so i then d/l the latest radio by Caulking or whatever, and still no 4G, just says scanning, oi am now back to the shooter sense 3.0 rom and still no 4G, and im in a 4G coverage area, how do i fix this?

Go into the setting click the system info or something and you will find a thing that says update profile. Click that and it should work

Had this same issue occur on my EVO4G, back in the day. Basically when they first were new. Messed around too much and somehow lost my WiMax keys. Since then I believe they've come up with several ways to repair the issue. What I did then was RUU back to factory, and start the whole root process over. That got my WiMax back.

Reset to factory RUU using the supersonic RUU utility, on the hboot screen it still says s-off and revolutionary at the top...Sole Conslusion is that this phone, per revolutionary CANNOT be unrooted, now that i have the bone stock rom on my evo, the 4G doesnt work, i know this because on the stock evo rom, while searching for 4g you get in the top left part of the screen it states "4G!" which means there is no 4G, well that little symbol is not on the top the screen in either my new rom or the stock rom, stating something is wrong with my 4G...i think i have a unique situation that i need to be fixed...and i cannot find a fix for this
somebody bump this, i think i have a unique situation

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.

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

Ok so my data has not been working at all the past few days. I have tried stock ROM, meanrom, and cm10. It would work for a few minutes and then go to nothing. I finally tried switching it to just CDMA and it works... I'm in a 4g lte area so why would that be? Also if I try to update prl, firmware, or profile it just keeps searching for hours. What should I do?

Do you have the newest radios? They end in .809 or somethin, check your baseband.

Thanks! Flashing stock with goodies right now to try it out. If I flash back to cm10 will that cancel out all the updates though?
Ok I tried it but I don't have the password... Even tried the meid converter and used that password and it still didn't let me.

if you dont know your msl and if you're connected to wifi you can download msl reader from the play store... or you can call sprint and they'll give it to you...

A couple of days ago, my phone had no 3G service, but it would sometimes pickup 4G but my connection usually didn't last very long.
I was running the updated radio 1.12.11.0809.
I downgraded back to the stock 1.13.651.1 ROM and I had my 3G connection back.
Im sticking with the stock radio.
they are upgrading your tower in your area. that i am 100000% sure of
that happened to me also, and a couple of days later it will be back to normal again, and switching it back to cdma will work.
when they finish upgrading the towers is should be good again.

Well It has been over a week... maybe even 2 weeks. Is that normal?
this is happening to me, I was on the phone with sprint for over an hour....I have done the ##78286# code with my MSL and it resets, but I still boot up to just a x/signal bar....Somehow i think my radios corrupted and will not be able to use this phone....
edit: i was able to get signal, but still having problems now after a full ##786# code

Nothing, if you are not in an LTE area. Not sure if that is the question being asked.
And...I'm not sure what you mean by the Hboot not staying. The firmware seems to have flashed just fine, since you have the latest radios.

If you want to be technical, he has the firmware from the 3.17 update, not 4.3. But that's another issue in and of itself.

If you're S-off, just run the 4.3 RUU. Afterwards you can install a custom recovery again and flash SuperSU. Then you can flash Captain's ROM or whatever else you'd like so long as it's based on the new layout.

I dunno what was different from the bother night but, I finally got hboot and the other baseband to flash, this after hours using a different memory card today.. Just decided to try the card from the other night and the PJ74img file fully flashed this time.. First try.. Just one of those try again until or works I suppose.. To a couple of tries with rumrunner too the the other day when I unlocked rooted. Thanks for yalls help... Trust me when I say I did research before asking for help, installing a nexus 7 second gen as my head unit.. Need phone for WiFi.. But I'll have 5.1 surround sound in my my truck .. Via audio splitter from the HDMI, run digital fiber to the surround sound decoder that has 6 rca out puts that runbto the amps .. Hell yeah! Pluss the HDMI audio extractor has an HDMI out.. So I can run extra screens or a projector to a personal drive in experience
