I can't update my radio on my HTC Evo 3D CMDA. So far I'm on S-on and unlocked with Meanrom 0.8 andbuild number 2.17.651.5 baseband radio 0.97.10.0808.
I have tried RUU back to original stock and no luck.
This has cause dropping of calls alot.
What can i do to fix this issue?
so if am understanding this correctly you are trying to manually update from your settings, correct?
yes but nothing is working.
your ROM probably has the updater function removed from it...
this is for good reason... because you should never accept OTA updates, nor apply them.
if you are looking to update your radio hit the dev section because it has been nicely package in a flashable zip, and you can just flash the radio.
i haven't accept any ota's my rom doesn't have the updater either.
where in the dev section in the flashable radio because i have tried the bootloader way too.
search for a thread created by Freeza.. you'll find it
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1443592
If this it i have tried this nothing works. Tried locking the bootloader too.
yes i apologize, TrevE's thread, freeza's post.
post # 131 of that thread bro. should be all set.
okay tried that through the bootloader method didn't work.
i just noticed your first post says you are s-on... are you on Hboot 1.5?
yes hboot 1.50 with s-on and unlocked running meanrom.
pretty sure you have to put a COMPLETELY stock ROM on it first...
the updater package does a number of checks throughout the system to verify it is compatible. runs through /system/app directory, **** like that. so if there are inconsistencies or if something is missing (like bloatware), it will abort the update.
i don't think being rooted will matter, however, but you WILL need to be on a completely stock ROM (pre-update)
what would be the right stock rom pre update?
Thx for all this help
no problem... and i am positive there are some completely stock RUU threads in the dev section. i know xhausx has posted one or two before... look around i know you will find one.
okay i think i found where i need to be. just which one?

that's the one you want. flash that, then try your update again. should do the trick.
okay successfully did the stock rom but when it does the radio update through the bootloader way it does nothing.
I put the PG86IMG.zip on the root of the sdcard and boot to the bootloader and reads it but does nothing to the radio.

after rebooting and back up it didn't change the radio. Does the phone need to have stock kernel?
everything needs to be stock before you do it.

i can't imagine the update script would check for su binaries...
I read that you can't root from Amon Ra after running the ICS RUUs. What's the right way to obtain root after an ICS upgrade?
Install one of the rooted stock roms
What if I just want to root the stock ROM? The phone is s-off.
then you want this one.
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1703732
I don't get it. How come we can't root it ourselves?
Edit: I see that link includes an SU zip. Does flashing that from recovery yield root?
Go here....http://androidsu.com/superuser/, download Superuser and su binary. Flash both in recovery.
If you arent worried about warranty just use Hasoons root app to reunlock your bootloader and root through the app. His app is in the roll up dev sticky. But again, this will, for anytime in the future, when you relock the bootloader, it will say relocked aka tampered and you gets no warranty
I have rooted the ics ruu by flashing the superuser.zip thru recovery. It's not anything technically challenging. I do that because I like the stock rom and being able to remove what I want with titanium backup.
Yuuuuup
after i installed RUU v3.14.605.5, i then unlocked the bootloader again. then i tried installing root the normal way i did it before but it said i had no root in root checker app.but then i read a post that i had to flash a zip file (Attacthed) which would allow me to have root and it worked. im on the stock rom of the rezound with the ICS leak v3.14.605.5. i now have root. (Currently Searching for the Post stating what i said) OMG lol after so much searching i finally found the thread. welp here it is http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?p=23897942#post23897942
if i remember correctly, you flash ICE-EnableRoot.zip in recovery first, then you flash the SU that you have (Flashable SU) second. then reboot. No need for wipe.
To be clear the phone needs to be s-off for this method? I'm on the latest leak coming from stock, locked, s-on.

Nope, you need to unlock your bootloader though.

I don't think so. I believe I was S-on when I installed the RUU and then when I tried rooting, it told me I wasn't, then I read that post about flashing that ICE EnableRoot and it worked. THEN I believe.after I gained root access, I did the S-off procedure.
I'd say Unlock, Root, and then S-off. Because you need to be HTCDev unlocked, and rooted in order to be able to do the S-off procedure.

What is the best way to get to stock so I can accept the ICS update and re root?
I am familiar with how to relock my bootloader..
Thank you all
PS I called verizon today because my rezound is a bit fishy with the charger wanting to replace it to under warranty , they no longer have them available and are shipping the Razr Maxx as a substitute...UGGGH.
Don't accept that Motorola garbage.... Less processor speed and terrible screen also less dev support. Oh and you don't need to get back to stock to get ics just flash the ics ota in bootloader

Correct me if I'm wrong, but you wouldn't do that for the over the air update.
You would need to flash stock recovery (assuming you've flashed a custom recovery), and then they can install the update through Android, like normal.
The guide i posted takes you through this process, as i did it.

Oh, and if you flashed Clockwork Mod, this is likely causing your charging problems. This is why i used AR Recovery 3.15 instead.
You can either take the OTA update or install an RUU.
Both ways, you have to relocked your bootloader or S-OFF.
For the OTA, you should be stock everything.
Stock recovery and rom.
For an RUU, just make sure you are on a rom that matches your firmware.
Gingerbread ROM on Gingerbread firmware.

For the OTA, you need to be stock everything or it won't install. This is why I included instructions on how to revert back to stock recovery before trying the OTA.
You do not need to re-lock your hboot if you have S-OFF. What happens is that the OTA update re-locks the bootloader and you have to unlock it again if you want to play with your device (like, re-install AR Recovery). Or, if you have S-Off, you can install a different hboot that's already unlocked, and then you can flash custom recoveries, etc. But since messing with the hboot is very risky, I chose to re-unlock my hboot the HTC way after installing the OTA.
*important edit*
The OTA may have worked for me with an unlocked hboot because I was S-Off prior to updating. If you're not S-Off, you may indeed need to re-lock before updating.
However, it may be just as easy to get S-Off. It's actually very easy. I will make a very easy guide for this as well. Let me know, and I can help you through it. I'm not an expert, but it doesn't take an expert. The hardest part for me was just finding a good, uncomplicated guide - doesn't seem to be one at the moment, though there is a ton of info out there.
Anyway, let me know if you want help getting S-Off.

you need to be unlocked if you want to flash recoveries. You should have flashed the stock recovery and then relocked. (if I'm understanding what you did)

Flashing a recovery won't affect root. The OTA will break root, but it's simple to restore. That's the easy part.
What I think you should do first is achieve S-OFF (you do not need to re-lock if you achieve S-OFF. It's easy, and it makes switching ROMs easier).
Then flash stock recovery.
Then accept OTA update(s).
Then unlock again (rather than mess with your bootloader).
Then flash superSU to restore root.
All per my instructions. I think they will make it easy as possible for you. The hardest thing, I think, is trying to find a step-by-step guide on all of this.
Just my opinion. There's a lot of info out there, but it's hard to sort through which steps you should choose to do, and when you should do them.
So im stuck. Most ROMs are now rebased using the latest firmware update 2.13, im still on 1.22 stock rooted custom recovery TWRP. When i try to update OTA it takes me to my recovery....?? what do i do, i tried the RUU but that failed as expected because im rooted, right? I can't flash the update.zip cause im not s-off, and apparently the hboot version i have wont work on panda. any suggestions?
Never accept an OTA while rooted. Never.
And dont unroot to accept an OTA.
If you are on h-boot 1.15 you are stuck on the current radio and firmware. You can still flash the newer ROMS. (FASTBOOT FLASH THE NEW KERNEL!!!)
If you are on 1.12 you can flash whatever you'd like
yes im on hboot 1.15, what do u mean flash the new kernel? i was reading for example on meanrom that you have to fastboot flash the kernel separately, after the ROM, is this what u mean?

Oh! i see! luckily i am comfortable with fastboot. one more question since we are here...flashing the rom will be the same through recovery, but is it better to use the internal storage or external storage to flash from? or does it even matter..

always place rom on external. if you superwipe before a flash you will erase rom on internal.
what should we use for internal then? i at least use it for my nands..is that bad?

I have s off on my phone but my wife wanted root and the latest software. Here's what I did. She was on 1.22 I didn't unroot as it was pointless.
1 relock bootloader using (fastboot oem lock)
2 download latest ruu with new ota and run it. Your firmware and base rom will be updated.
3 unlock bootloader again using htcdev.
4 use fastboot again to re flash twrp
5 use twrp to re flash supersu
If you don't understand the process research it. That's how I figured it out. There are plenty of instructions on xda.

Keep in mind the process I just outlined will put you back to bone stock. If you don't own titanium backup or my backup pro you will lose all your apps. Once you're on the new base you can flash any of the new sense roms like meanrom
There's a lot of little details I didn't cover. I'll leave that up to you. Just suffice it to say, you can do all upgrades with htcdev that you can do with s off. It just takes longer and it's a bit more complicated than having s off.

for sure bro thanks! thats the part that sucks is having to do it the long way but hey, its an adventure in itself. what i did was flash a version of meanrom for my base and then flashed a more recent one, then fastboot the kernel, and bada bing bada boom, it is successfully stable. now if i flash another rom will i have to reflash the kernel in the zip?
