[Q] Firmware update question - Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE

I just flashed 3.16 full firmware zip through bootloader My lte is s-off, with lazy panda hboot. Everything seems to have updated correctly. Pri is now 2.97_003, Prl is now 25010 and Baseband is now 1.12.11.1210 but my Build# has not changed from 3.15 to 3.16. Is this a problem or incorrect?

Build number refers to the rom, you updated the firmware

[Q] Can i Flash Custom Kernels on Stock ROM?

Hello, i am a newbie in Android so i was wondering if it is possible to flash any custom Kernel on Stock ROM for HTC EVO 3D from Sprint.
I was reading about that this morning but devs do not specify if they are compatible or not. The fact is that i want to flash one of:
*Anthrax Kernel(enables Overclock and USB Host)
*RCMix Kernel(enables Overclock)
In addition i have to mention i have a Rooted EVO via htcdev, and it has hboot 1.50. I downloaded Flash GUI for Flashing Kernels but i am not sure if the kernels mentioned above are compatible with stock ROM. Suggestions are accepted about what is the best Kernel/ROM for my EVO.
Thanks in advance for all your replies.
Aosp Roms get Aosp kernels.
Sense based roms (stock) get sense kernels.
- kernels must be compatible with installed fw radio
(2.08.651.2 & 651.3 have same radio; 2.17.651.5 has new radio & no custom kernels yet b/c kernel source isnt released.)
Some of the 651.5 custom roms (like meanrom) have a few tweaks incorporated with the stock kernel.
So u need to know your fw base to figure out your options.

You're on the newest baseband/radio, so there aren't any custom kernels that are compatible with what you have (yet)

Thank you. Is there a way to downgrade the baseband/radio?

There is a way, but I have no experience with hboot 1.5 so I don't know if you can or not. My guess is if there is a way to downgrade, it would have to be by using an RUU, I'll see if I can help you find an RUU to use.
Note: If you can downgrade via RUU on hboot 1.5, you will lose EVERYTHING. I had to use an RUU to fix some major mistakes I made recently on my phone, and I lost everything, including superuser (i.e. root), but I kept S-OFF
EDIT: You can use an RUU but you have to relock your bootloader to apply the RUU. I'm going off to class now so I can't find the RUU for you now, but a google search for it should give you results. You need the 2.08.651.3 RUU (it should be an EXE file)

So, i think it is better to wait some time, maybe in the future the source code will be available and some kernels for this version appear.

Yes, I'm just waiting as well, I'm perfectly content with the stock kernel on the new baseband. It's just a matter of time before HTC releases their source code and our wonderful devs can get cracking on custom kernels

freeza has built a stock rom with some tweaks.
Thread and DL located here:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1224659
I'm currently fully updated on the new OTA and running InfectedROM and freezas kernel. This thing cooks.
The kernel is currently locked at 1.2Ghz, but there is a few changes that can be made at the system level to increase that..... I think. I haven't looked into it.

[Q] build# 1.13 to 2.17???

just realised that 1.13 is the ics leak base build.
i'm assuming 2.17 is the gb base build?
thanks, guys...

LLXDA
Yes.! But there is also a SPRINT 1.13 firmware (it was one of the very first one on the 3vo and had hboot 1.4). The new 1.13 is a virgin mobile firmware version
Sent from my PG86100 using XDA
ohhhh...
so, since downgrading i'm probably on the *sprint* 1.13 build since we had to flash the ruu in order to downgrade the hboot.
then, i'll have to ask my original question:
after downgrading i only updated my radio.
before flashing mikvirgin (based on the ics leak) should i have flashed an updated build#?
2.17? although, i think that's gb based, right?
or, can i just leave my base at 1.13 and flash whatever roms i want to?
thanks guys...

Need to update to 2.17.651.5 hboot 1.40

I am looking for the 2.17.651.5 with hboot removed (I dont want to lose hboot 1.4)
I used freeza's aio update from here but My firmware is still 1.13.651.7.
It's been awhile since I was at this point. I just got out of the virgin crapware and still trying to get my phone back to normal! lol
But like I said I do not want to lose my hboot 1.40.
Update I believe I found what I was looking for HERE I am just confused on what version to get odex or deodex not sure what the difference is or if it makes a difference if I am going to flash a rom.
I'm thinking you need to do it again. For whatever reason it didn't take. The aio file is what I've used in the past without problem. The second link you posted is for a full rom... That's not necessary if all you're trying to do is update your radio
Yeah I am looking to update my ROM but not my hboot
Sent from my PG86100 using Tapatalk 2
I think you are ok. I went through the downgrade process and used the all-in-one and am showing my build number as 1.13.652.1. My hboot is 1.4 s-off and I have no issues flashing any Ics or GB Rom.

1.13 and 2.17 are Rom bases, right now you are on 1.13 Rom with the firmware that came with 2.17. Flash a Rom based on 2.17 and your phone will show 2.17 in settings>about phone>software info. however you can see your pri version and baseband version have changed.

Exactly this. The Rom I am on is based on the VM leak, hence the 1.13. Roms labeled 2.17 are based on the last GB ota. I left my firmware and radios on 2.17 since that is the last official Sprint firmware update, but my Rom is 1.13.

What to Do After S-Off

Since there are so many questions being asked all over the place, I figured I would try to create and update this thread accordingly with links and whatnot from any information that is provided in following posts.
After rooting, and achieving S-Off, what should be flashed?
Radio
PRI
Kernel
Baseband
How?
All contained in below link in one nice update known as the firmware.
You can do this before or on top of an already installed ROM running this base such as Mean ROM 2.6
Newest OTA is 2.13.651.1
Flash newest firmware from here
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1859789
2.13.651.1 Firmware Bits
I have done the above steps and my experience is super smooth.
Let me know if I'm missing anything and I'll add it.

Newest OTA is 2.13
Flash the newest radio - Latest: 1.12.11.0809 - Improves signal performance and drop problems
I did this
Now I ask this of you:
What else should/can be flashed after achieving S-Off?
PRI?
Firmware (does that even make sense to flash firmware, only to flash a ROM right on top of it)?
After that, then you flash your ROM
Mean ROM is based on the newest firmware. So does that automatically flash the newest files to your phone?

Flashing Mean Rom will update your baseband only. You still need to flash the radios and pri updates yourself.

How to update baseband after 4.3 ROM install?

I have a rooted AT&T One and applied the 4.3 update as a ROM, like I've done previously and for the radio update a couple months. My wife has a stock One and got the OTA update. I notice that she has a later baseband version than me:
4T.20.3218.13_10.12.1718.01L
Mine is:
4A.17.3250.20_10.40.1150.04L
Is baseband the radios? How can I update the baseband to the latest via a recovery flash? What file should I be searching the forums for?
Thanks,
Steve
