Updating firmware: how would I go about it? - Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE

I'm running the latest CM10.1 and was wondering how exactly I could update my firmware to 3.16 with the new touch panel version (which I hear is much better and more precise) how would I update it? Would I lose root and have to reroot? Would it wipe my ROM?

You do not need to unroot your phone, and you will not wipe any data from your phone. You must be S-off to update firmware, however.

Just to be sure, I would just download the whole zip, rename and flash? I was thinking I would have to delete the recovery file it gives for the stock version them flash?

Download the file you wish to flash. Rename it PJ75IMG.zip (make sure you don't have an extra .zip extension on the end or it will fail). Put the file on the root of your external SD card. Reboot to the bootloader. If the bootloader doesn't look for the file automatically, select the option to reboot bootloader. Follow the on-screen prompts to update, then reboot once you're done

Unrooted back to rooted?

Hi, I'm in trouble here. I unrooted my phone back to stock and still have hboot still off. So i am doing the process of rooting again and when i open revolutionary exe and its asks for the generated key. I go to the website and generate one I put it in and its coming back as invalid. Is there anyway to fix this? Please help.

You're probably mistaking an 0 for an o, or a 1 for an I or something. I suggest copying and pasting.

Why can I find the root zip?

Just flash a recovery and then flash the su zip from recovery. You can easily find it in the developers section.
Here is the recovery: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1192077

Installing the recovery and Su apk doesn't root my phone. I need the exploit I think.
Sent from my PG86100 using XDA Premium App
The exploit just gives you s-off. If the recovery installed and the su zip installed then you are good to go. You may want to try flashing the engineering hboot in the developers section.

can anyone hook it up with latest superuser.apk?

I can't seem to find the latest superuser.apk for our Note.
Don't want to log into market because I'm giving the phone to a friend and they need to log into their account, but I just rooted the phone with Odin to flash the tmobile 4G radio, but I need the superuser apk for the root.
Anyone got it?

Guess the post above yours has the link as well. Oops!
If you are a stock rom, you will have to push the file to the phone or install cwm recovery to install from recovery.

If you already have cwm then you are on the easy road. Just boot into recovery then install the zip.

What hboot do you have? Do you have the supersu app installed? If you open it, it should ask you to update if it needs it.

Yes... If you have the Supersu app, just open it... If the binary is outdated, it will prompt out for asking you to update... If not, go to its settings to update...

[Request] Flashable TWRP bootloader zip

I no longer have a laptop, can't use a tablet to do anything and the computers I do have access to will not let me install drivers to utilize adb or fast boot. I have 3.16 flashed to my phone and I am S-off, I tried flashing 2.3.x.x but the touchscreen won't work. I think it has to do with being made for 3.15 and need a PJ75IMG.zip for a later version of TWRP.
I already tried simply renaming the .IMG file but, surprise, that didn't work.

Stock recovery for locked bootloader

New l9 (p769) user, I realized there's no point in having cwm if your on a locked bootloader ( can't unlock bootloader one bit, on v20D) and I'm just wondering if anyone had the stock recovery so I can flash the official ota? And no matter what I can't get fastboot to work which I understand has to do with bootloader. Thanks!

Cwm is very useful even if bootloader is locked. Why do you need stock recovery for? Just update ota? And fastboot works with lock bootloaders. If you have an issue just ask me.

It doesn't let me flash the ota? I've been trying and all it does is pretend to flash about halfway and reboots..

Well I'd rather just apply the ota as it is without having to do that since lack of laptop at the moment, is there a way I can get the stock recovery and push it via terminal?

you don't need to flash anything, just follow http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=40871273&postcount=62
So backing up and installing the 20D backup provided will get me the stock recovery?...confused cause the link you posted was talking about removing cwm, nothing about applying the 20f update. I'm on v20d right now...

Okay, here we go:
1. CWM works with v20D or v20F. If you want to do OTA then you need to follow the link, that Lelus gave you, to the instructions to delete cwm from your phone.
2. If you want to flash the v20F rooted CWM backup that is on the sticky then all you have to do is download it to your sd card then get into cwm and flash the zip file.
3. I would suggest you get cwm working and backup your current ROM before you do anything just in case you run into trouble you can do the "etch-a-sketch" start over by reloading (flashing) your backup.
Good Luck!!!
Ok I deleted all remnants of cwm, renamed the file, and tried to apply the update, still no dice. Can I just restore one of the stock 20f roms stickied using cwm?
