From my understanding, the new T-Mobile OTA to 4.4 should bring us a new version of hboot and radio.
According to a firmware flashing post in the main HTC One forum, wifi calling is baked into T-Mobile's radio.
Now that I want to go to a 4.4.2 custom ROM, I have two questions.
How do ViperOne and InsertCoin manage to incorporate Wifi calling if the functionality is baked into the radio? Or does this mean they have the new radio and I will get all the optimizations supposedly to come with a new version?
I understand that Hboot version 1.56 is coming with 4.4. I'm currently on 1.55. Does this have any implications on me updating? Should I wait for the OTA update then convert to a custom ROM since technically, if I do it right now, I'm on a different base?
I'm really confused since this is my first HTC phone. My old Sony never was this complicated.
If I said anything wrong could you please explain? Thanks!

Currently:
T-Mobile USA HTC Flyer 4G
Gingerbread 2.3
S-Off (Revolutionary)
Root (Revolutionary)
Customer Recovery
Received Honeycomb OTA (Alert Only, have not installed)
Goal:
S-Off, Rooted, Custom Recovery with Customer Honeycomb 3.2 Rom (LeeDroid or Cool Honey 3D)
I have heard the OTA update messes up things for running custom roms. I would like to know if I do the OTA update with my current situation, will I keep S-off, Root, Customer Recovery so I can load a custom rom after. Or do I need to use some other method.
Give me a copy of the OTA zip file and I'll make you a light version upgrade, what you have now is not compatible with doing an OTA upgrade.
I'd greatly appreciate if you could do a couple of things for me as part of this procedure, as this would allow me to provide and easy upgrade for TMO stock HC also.

So I'm downloading the update right now, I'm guess that will be a zip on my storage that I need to upload to you. (I'm guessing to a file share site like megauploads). Then what is it that you are doing with the file. I guess I don't know what a light version is and what would be my process after that to get to Customer Honeycomb. I know that I need the honeycomb radio and HBOOT I think to run honeycomb custom rom or it won't work.
Yes, it will be on the sdcard somewhere and rapidshare is probably your best bet for a working upload site right now, or stick it in dropbox in plublic folder and send me the link.

Just wanted to ask a question to Dynabass, does your flyer make and receive phone calls over tmo us gsm? How bout data?
Hey everyone, I'd like to gather some information about radios/updating them on the phone!
First off, some background on my device:
Running CM7 gingerbread,
S-off and rooted
TWRP 2.0
Radio: 0.97.10.0530
Hboot 1.4
First off, I'd like to know..how old is my radio?
Secondly, how do I update my radio?
Thirdly, what is the benefit to updating the radio?
Thank you so much!
usually a custom rom or chef will specify the radio recomended for his rom. if not, it means the radio is included and it's meant to stay like that. try asking in the respective thread
Ok no. A rom developer can recommend what radio to use yes "although Ive yet to see one do so" but roms for the Evo3d cdma/gsm don't include radios. Your radio is totally different from your rom that's why you can change upgrade or downgrade them.

Hi guys
Sorry if this has been already answered. I tried to search for solution many times and asked in threads of ROM but people give very vague answer. I don't want to risk losing my device and want to stick with easy rooting.
I followed this guide to root my phone: http://androidforums.com/evo-3d-all-things-root/494212-complete-newbies-guide-rooting-flashing-evo-3d-roms-kernels-using-fastboot.html. I installed everything but didn't do S-OFF. One thing I'd like to share is that I did unlocking through HTCdev and also that I run Rogers phone. Currently I'm using kingcobra 2.4 ROM.
So now I wanted to install ICS but I need to install new firmware. I tried to revert back to stock ROM and do ICS update but it'd stop at HTC screen and same thing happened when I tried to install ICS rom.
So I need to install this new firmware for sure, but I have S-ON I think. Now things I need to know and perform I believe are:
S-Off
Install new firmware
-------
Now do I have to do RUU update as well? If so, where do I do that and how do I know what RUU I am running? Also I'm running HBOOT 1.49.0008 because I did unlocking through HTCdev
-------
If I wanted to simply use the Rogers ICS update, how can I get it? Do I still need to S-Off? I did full back up. Please explain very clearly.
you want to go back to stock so you can install the OTA / official ICS rom?
You can dl the RUU from the htc website. Rename it to PC86IMG.zip and let it install in bootloader
Whats the link for it please? I am on Rogers evo 3d
Also I think i have the base RUU?
The only rom I installed had this:
"
Base: Rogers RUU 1.20.631.2 HTC EVO 3D (Shooter U GSM)
Android Version: 2.3.4
HTC Sense: 3.0
Kernel: Your choice:
"
I chose original kernel, meaning not installing any. I don't think I need stock ruu now do I?
If someone can find me an easy S-off tutorial, I would be more happy to do that and stick with rooting.
I have spent too much time trying to find a way to update to ICS and I am regretting to root my phone now =[ I can't get ICS either way...
go to htcdev, enter your info and they'll let you dl the ruu for your phone.
i used s-off wire trick , try that for hboot 1.5
I'm hoping that someone can point me in the right direction. I gave my wife my Evo 4G LTE over a year ago, and it's worked great running Mean Bean (not sure about the version). The phone is unlocked, rooted and S-Off. Recently, I thought it would be a good idea to update it to KitKat, mainly because I was hoping that the newer ROMs would utilize HD voice. Long story short, I realized that I need to have the 2.10.0000 bootloader and mine is 1.19.something. So, I have a couple questions:
1. Do the newer custom ROMs support HD voice, or do I need to revert to stock?
2. What is the recommended method to update the bootloader?
Sorry if I seem clueless, but I've moved on from this phone a while ago and forgot all about the S-On/S-Off hoops you have to jump through.

The latest official update was to Android 4.3 which is Jelly Bean, not KK. I believe the HD voice update was part of the software version 3.17 update (Hboot 2.09). There were only 2 or 3 custom ROM's for that particular software version, mostly due to the fact that it was not a major update for the EVO LTE. Any ROM based off that software version should support HD voice. You can run the RUU for that update and you'll remain S-off. Hit the top link in my sig and scroll down to the section on RUU's for further info. This method will also update you to Hboot 2.09.

This doesn't answer the question of how to get to HBOOT 2.10.
So I dabbled in converting my HTC One M7 to the GPE and while its definitely fast at some things , it lacks in other. Lollipop thus far for me has been a letdown. Want to revert to stock. Question though. Is it as easy as grabbing the update from the HTC website for my device and flashing the RUU in FASTBOOT? I obviously already have my bootloader unlocked and S-OFF . Any help is appreciated.

Do you want to revert back to GPe KitKat or T-Mobile KitKat? If for GPe KitKat then yes just find the RUU. If T-Mobile then you will need to change your MID & CID before you run the RUU. The T-Mobile RUUs are Windows executable files run in Windows while the phone is connected to FASTBOOT USB.
I want to return to T-Mobile stock which I believe is kitkat sense.
