I'm surprised no one has already posted this here on XDA. Here is the link to the shipped-roms upload of the leaked RUU labeled
Code:
RUU_JEWEL_CL_ICS_40_Sprint_WWE_1.12.651.2_Radio_1.02.11.0423_2_NV_SPCS_2.28_003_release_257970_signed2.exe
which was determined to be for the EVO 4G LTE based on hints in the build.prop and other places.
You can get it HERE.
NOTE: This has NOT been tested on a device yet, considering it's not really out yet, so don't run this right away on you new phone on Friday before we investigate it more.
Just took a look at this. shows HBOOT hboot_1.12.0000_signedbyaa.nb0. so lets hope this hboot gets revolutionized by the alpharevx team
Anyone note the file size, close to [email protected]# That's a big RUU!

Yup, pretty dang big! I've put together a stock "rooted" rom w/ Superuser, busybox, and a patched boot.img, uploading now. There will be another thread for this once it uploads to my server.

Well, I just added the su, Superuser.apk, and busybox binaries to the extracted rom and built a new boot.img. That doesn't have anything to do with rooting the device... however, these days "rooting" a device isn't very difficult.

Unfortunately, this RUU won't be the final RUU. The system dump I have is 1.13.651.1, and it does look pretty close to done. But I wouldn't be surprised if there is another update before launch.

Yeah definitely, this build is almost a month old, so I knew there would be more, but I don't have any other system dumps. I figured I'd post this here for anyone who wants to start on something anyways.
This was actually originally posted by Football in his thread on XDA about 3 weeks ago. There wasn't a Evo 4G LTE thread then.
Thanks for posting here!

Something of interest,
The 1.13.651.1 RUU contains (in the rom.zip file) hboot_1.13.0000_signedbyaa.nb0 .
While 1.12.651.2 contains hboot_1.12.0000_signedbyaa.nb0
OTOH, a pic posted earlier with an ENG bootloader had version 1.04.2000
http://dl.dropbox.com/u/12623902/ANDROID/IMG_20120510_220841.jpg
So... Perhaps part of the process will be to downgrade first...

Um, that pic is of an EVO 3D .
Those two RUUs are the only ones I've seen for the Jewel so far.
^^Good catch. I came across that in one of the evo lte threads, but didn't pay very close attention. I thought it was from one of the prerelease/demo phones. Disregard
yep, that's a shooter (evo 3d) as versions 1.04.2000 and 1.30.2000 are the two hboots that have been pictured on it
im guessing it shouldnt be that hard to root since bootloader can be unlocked thru HTC DEV

I have found the thread for 1.18, but have not been able to find the list of compatible regions with the:

RUU. Thank you in advance.
That RUU is for a pre-updated device. If you have installed the update, you won't be able to use that RUU.

I'm still definitely on 1.14. My question is whether I can use this RUU, or whether I should just use the 1.18 RUU directly (since I am 01_WWE, so compatible with the 1.18 for sure).
Thanks.

I actually made a compatibility thread for 1.18.401 RUU, and it's the same for 1.14.401 all you needed is to search. Check in the Index I made, the link is in my signature, there you have the link to the previous thread I mentioned.

Yes, I did find the index (several times in my search) yet the problem remains that I wasn't sure if I could apply the 1.18.401 RUU directly, even if I was currently on 1.14.xxx, and nowhere did it mention it (even though it does make sense, but I'd rather be sure, as most other people too, I'd think).

401 is the region code so if it's the same compatibility is the same. And i don't get your obsession on 1.14 cause when you install it your phone will immediately ask you to update your phone to 1.18, plus if you have already updated your phone to1.18 you most probably won't be able to run 1.14 RUU.
I just got my new Virgin Mobile HTC Evo V today. My previous device was a Samsung Galaxy-class phone (Infuse 4G), so I'm a bit lost with all of the HTC-specific terminology and procedures. All I've read seems to be written by and for people who already have some idea of what's going on. Sadly, I don't.
All I know is that my Evo V is on Hboot version 1.57. I basically want to put it in a state where I can flash ANYTHING I want, which I assume means that I'll need to be S-off with a custom recovery. Do I absolutely need to dowgrade Hboot? Must I be S-off? I just need an initial push in the right direction. If someone could give a brief synopsis of exactly where I need to start, along with some links to the corresponding tools, that would be very much appreciated. I hate feeling like a newb all over again, but hacking HTC doesn't seem to be nearly as simple or intuitive as it was with Samsung. I'm fairly adept at following directions, I just don't want to follow the wrong ones and do something stupid.

Since you have an Evo V you might want to start here. There are no forums that are specific to the Evo V on XDA.
I do have a guide here in the general forum that works for getting root and S-OFF on the Evo V.

Same hardware but not the same firmware and network configuration as was confirmed by Sprint users who flashed the "leaked" VM firmware last May. The custom ROM's can be configured for either carrier but not the firmware and the serial numbers (ESN's) are hard wired to a specific service provider.
Also, Virgin Mobile users also don't have the roaming options that Sprint offers.

Gotta love a long and convoluted process that involves a lot of downloading. At the moment, I'm visiting a relative who doesn't have internet, so my only web access is to tether to my now-throttled data connection. Got about 6 more hours to go before the QADERSO download finishes. Thanks for the help so far. I took a quick peek at the htcdev site and unlocking procedure. I noticed that they don't have one that's VM specific. Should I just use the Sprint one when I get to that point?

Yes, you can unlock the Evo V 4G by selecting the Evo 3D on the htcdev website.
I don't consider downloading an all-in-one file "a lot of downloading" and if you think my guide is "convoluted" you're welcome to use the collection of guides that preceded it, including several on the other site that I linked above.
I've unlocked Samsung and other phones before and I know about the "one click" root utilities, but that's not the way HTC does things so we need to deal with it or stay stock.

It's quite a simple process, but it is a fairly long process. Takes about 30 minutes total to get unlocked, rooted, and running all good. Add that to getting ROMs and stuff. That totaled up to 3 days for me because I just could not find the best one, and I've found that Viper3D is great . Getting a 8000-9500 benchmark.
Success
Well, I didn't manage to bust it out in 30 minutes, but I got it done. Probably wouldn't have taken quite so long if I were less inept with command prompts. The "wire trick" was simultaneously simple and a huge pain in the ass. I spent probably 15 minutes doing it over and over and over. But all's well that ends well. I'm now HTCdev unlocked with S-off, and I'm running NegaLite BluROM. So, thanks, ramjet73, for the advice and putting your time into writing the guide.
I do have a few general questions still:
-what will absolutely need to be flashed with fastboot; kernels, radios, alternate Hboot versions?
-as far as having some semblance of universal compatibility, should I be fairly safe sticking with Jbear's Hboot version 1.57.5757?
-is there another Hboot version I could flash that would be more likely to be compatible with the vast majority of available ROMs?

I myself have kept with the Jbear hboot and have been able to run the ROMs I wanted fine (that being MeanROM-ICS, Viper3D, and Harmonia) and it was all good. I have no clue about your other questions, sorry :[. I'm quite new to the Evo 3D and it doesn't seem as simple as my old One V.

I usually recommend the JBear GB 1.50.5050 hboot. It will flash and boot all ROM's except the stock ICS ROM and one or two based on that version, as opposed to the 1.57.5757 version that won't boot any GB or AOSP based ROM's.
ramjet73
I've never been much of a fan of Android version 4.x. I just stumbled on what appears to be a very promising Gingerbread ROM, so it looks like I'm going to have to downgrade to Hboot 1.4. I'd assumed that since the phone came with ICS, I'd be stuck with 4.x. Apparently, that's not the case. I love me some GB.

Will Jbear 1.50.5050 flash This ROM? I'm thinking someone posted in that thread that you had to be below Hboot 1.50 to flash it. If it will work with that ROM, could you supply a D/L or thread link?

Just be aware that all the GB ROM's are based on Sprint builds and as a VM user you will need to figure out what needs to be changed to get things like MMS working properly on the VM network.
I'm not saying you shouldn't do it, just be aware that it will take more than just flashing the ROM and you can get more help with the Evo V on the androidforums.com website in the forums for that version of the device.

Yes. The JBear 1.50.5050 hboot will flash and boot anything that the 1.4 or ENG 1.04 hboots handle and is based on a more current version of the Evo 3D bootloader. It also allows you to run more fastboot commands than a stock hboot like 1.4.

At least that, and maybe some changes to the build.prop file. I'm a Sprint user so I've never had to do it, but there are VM users here and on androidforums.com that can probably help answer that.

Newer compared to what? The only RUU I'm aware of that was circulated was the upgrade to 4.13.651.3, which this one does as well.

Radio: 1.13.11.1105
PRI: 3.02_003
PRL: 25007 (my phone is 25017)
Release: 353492
That "Official" link you have is the 3.17.651.4 firmware, which is old layout from a while back. The "Newer" one is the 4.13.651.3. It's not really "officially" released AFAIK. Might want to clean up those links so people don't try to download the "Official" RUU and end up downgrading.

Here I go again with an alternative that may be easier.
Being S-OFF is a plus but no mention of Supercid.
Below is super simple and requires the use of your external sdcard

If someone can't handle fastboot commands, they should be flashing firmware at all.
It should be understood that flashing firmware is one of the riskier mods to do; and not to be taken lightly. Unlike flashing a ROM, root, etc., you can actually brick the phone flashing firmware, if you don't fully understand what you are doing.

No need to quote me as I've agreed with you over and over about this very subject in multiple threads my friend. I can remember being new to all this and how intimidating anything to do with adb/fastboot or even the word commands would make me feel.we seem to end up following each other around quit a bit so let's not make it personal man as it do respect you.

The easiest way to upgrade the firmware is to get supercid and run the 3.28.1540.5 dev ed RUU. Worked like a charm for my AT&T m8
Supercid is not needed, BS_US001 or BS_US002 works fine

Will supercid work as well?

Supercid will work for all cids. It's easier, Bc then you don't have to worry about changing it all the time to do different things. As wonders_never_cease mentioned, it's not necessary, however.
@mattprice86
Thank you for the answer ,I don't recall it mentioned that Supercid would work.
I figure why change it to a specific Cid if I can change it once

I am free to respond or quote others if I choose to (as are you). I was just raising a point, that IMO firmware (as I already explicitly mentioned) is not something to be taken lightly, and not something that should be made "easier". But just my opinion (and no more or less valid an opinion than yours).
There is nothing "personal" in my post directed toward you. Not a single thing that could be construed as a personal attack, insult, disrespectful, etc. If you took it that way, its your own interpretation.
There aren't all that many folks in the AT&T specific forum section willing to contribute help on a consistent basis, as you likely already noticed. The fact that I have responded to you on multiple occasions is merely a matter if that circumstance (just coincidence, really). Believe it or not, I'm not stalking you or anything. I would have responded/quoted you the same way regardless of whether I recognized your nickname or not.
Your contribution is certainly appreciated. I was just throwing in my 2 cents.
