are you getting that error 16 message when you try to place a call? If you are, just call a number and stay on the line. It will say the message twice and then transfer you to a representative that will do some network tweaks, have you shut your phone off for 30 seconds, then turn back on. that did the trick for me.
[HTC EVO 3D] igotroot:
Great, I'm glad that worked for you. IMHO kernels, radios, etc leave a shadow so to speak.
[HTC EVO 3D] igotroot:
Honestly, I've had two Android phones, and never seen nor heard of a firmware update via a zip or otherwise...where can I read up, download, etc about that/them?

I have known about the option such as prl update, profile and the firmware update, but I've never had to use it....nor have I seen it discussed in a forum.

If we back our Wimax...4G watever u wanna call it could we flash the one before stock and somehow have 4G
[HTC EVO 3D] southern87:
My phone came with .530 and i backed both radios to the stock .518. Signal isn't better but my data speeds are so much better. 1 bar and i was getting 500kbs down and 400kbs up
[HTC EVO 3D] stacktrace:
I can confirm your results. I flashed the pre release radio and while my signal strength remains about the same as stock radio (1 bar at home), my 3g speeds are noticeably better.
[HTC EVO 3D] graffixnyc:
So if the leak doesn't have Wimax how do we get Wimax to work? I'm on the newest radio but if I can get better speeds with the prerelease then ill flash it. I live in a very good 4G area so that not working is not good for me.
[HTC EVO 3D] stacktrace:
3g and wimax radios are independent of each other.

The leak only contains the 3g radio...it won't affect your wimax radio. You can stay with stock wimax radio or flash the one from the update.

I'm running the leak .0513 3g radio and the wimax 29047 radio from the update.
[HTC EVO 3D] graffixnyc:
Thanks. I'm still a noob to Sprint. I was with tmobile for years. So the prerelease radio really gives better data speeds?
[HTC EVO 3D] smw6180:
No difference at all for me on any of the radios. Your mileage may vary. Only way for you to know how it reacts to your specific situation is to flash it and see.
[HTC EVO 3D] stacktrace:
Yeah, my 3g speeds are usually pretty bad...like 300kbps down. I'm getting about 650kbps with 513 3g radio. Not great speed but much better then I'm used to getting with the crappy signal I get at home.
[HTC EVO 3D] daneurysm:
+1, Exactly. I'd imagine towers and roaming agreements and local saturation probably all come into play here... but I did very extensive testing with all 3 radios on two different towers in my area and another not in my area. Pre-release 3G radio gets markedly better results everytime...for me...on my phone...in those specific situations.

Hell, the other day I got 2.7mbps in a full-bar situation...I have never seen speeds like that on Sprint, ever. Even 3 or 4 years ago when I started tethering on my hacked LG Lotus flip phone....and the network was a lot less congested back then.
[HTC EVO 3D] pimp100500:
i dont know how you got those speeds but when i flashed the pre-stock one it gave me worse dl speeds??? before i used to get 500 kb-600 kb......now i get 100-120
[HTC EVO 3D] daneurysm:
There are a number of factors at play here. This is always true but especially so in regards to signal/reception/speeds/radios--every phone and every situation is different. What works for one person/phone may not work identically from someone else OR anyone else, ever.

There are soooooo many variables at play that it would be impossible to duplicate anyone's situation...none of us can even be sure that we've duplicated our own situation....ever, given the variables at play....

[HTC EVO 3D] funeralplanner:
I would like to know this too. I dont see why it wouldn't work
[HTC EVO 3D] ycats:
no, you need to rename to PG86IMG.zip on your storage card..........power off, then press volume down/power button until the bootloader shows....it will then ask to update, then YES
[HTC EVO 3D] leerage:
For those of you complaining about speed, try and remove the Sprint Proxy:

http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1140870

Also, it is very easy to flash the radio and/or wimax update. Just follow the instructions in the OP and you'll be fine. The key is to make sure the md5 matches.

1. Copy over PG86IMG.zip to root of sdcard

2. Run adb command and verify md5 matches

3. Reboot to bootloader

4. Disconnect usb cable and select bootloader

5. It will recognize the .zip, ask if you want to update. Press volume up

6. Let it update then press power to reboot when it says to do so

7. Profit

[HTC EVO 3D] funeralplanner:
Well, I guess I'm not asking the question correctly. I just flashed my first ROM last night. I downloaded straight to my phone and then I flashed it into recovery...after I made backup of course. I think astro gives me the option to rename doesn't it? Maybe I'm over thinking this, but I think I could just treat it as a ROM or Kernel couldn't I?
[HTC EVO 3D] affliction:
i used the .0513 and flashed it though bootloader with no problems and it boosted 3g a little but with 3g every bit counts. has anyone tried wimax radio and got better than 10down 1.5 up because thats my average but im not going to change it unless i hear that anyone is doing better than that
[HTC EVO 3D] gu1dry:
Updated OP with the 0.97.10.0808 CDMA radio from the 2.08.651.2 OTA. No WiMax radio was included in this OTA.
[HTC EVO 3D] igotroot:
So how's that radio perform ?
[HTC EVO 3D] crpercodani:
Guy, cool.

The EV-DO feature of CDMA2000 networks provides access to mobile devices with forward link air interface speeds of up to 2.4 Mbit/s with Rel. 0 and up to 3.1 Mbit/s with Rev. A.

So yea. And you don't need a ss app, speedtest let's you share images of your results.

i am about to flash it i will let you know
[HTC EVO 3D] phatmanxxl:
Thanks for the radio.
[HTC EVO 3D] motoelliot:
NO. This is NOT like a ROM. Or kernel. It must be flashed thru hboot. Rename it pg86img.zip, put it on the root of you SD card. Power off, then hold vol down n power on. It will check the .IMG and ask if you want to update radio...

FYI: always a good idea to check the Md5 before flashing a radio!

Is there any way to update the PRI? I know through the official update this was also updated.
[HTC EVO 3D] Ryan00:
Okay are we no longer putting the PG86ING.zip on the root of the sd ? the OP doesn't say too. Sounds like to me he wants to flash this in adb ? also i didnt think it was a good idea to flash a zip tho adb? i read many ways to flash this radio and now im confused... I always just put the PG86IMG.zip on the root of the sd and flash it with hboot. Are we not doing this method anymore ???
[HTC EVO 3D] leerage:
This is still flashing through HBOOT. The reason ADB is involved is to verify the MD5.

The OP just gave instructions on how to push the file through ADB then verify the MD5. Notice the

adb push PG86IMG.zip /sdcard/PG86IMG.zip

adb shell md5sum /sdcard/PG86IMG.zip

then:

adb reboot bootloader

Ok because i'm not sure, i'm on radio .18 and if i update what would i be updating to? .30? or do i just flash the current .18?
[HTC EVO 3D] westona:
Having issues, bootloader finds the zip but says parsing pg86img.zip, then never confirms the update. as of right now, I am on gbsense rom and have cwm installed. On a side note, I do not have S-off. I unlocked through HTC, and installed cwm. from this point forward wifi does not work and reads error in the notification bar, and I cant get it to do anything. Otherwise, it seems the other radios are still working fine. Hopefully someone knows whats going on because i sure dont. Is it just a question of getting S-off, and installing radios, or will this not resolve my issues?

[HTC EVO 3D] crpercodani:
If it's telling you you're getting 4mbps on 3G then it's not very accurate. I wasn't trying to talk **** bro but it's just not possible to get speeds above 3mbps or so on 3G. Maybe you got confused and were on 4G. Mind sharing a image from the speedtest app?

any help on how to update from 1.15.003 to the lates?
[HTC EVO 3D] leerage:
It is hard to say whether it will improve signal strength or not. You can always try it and if a previous radio works before you, you can always go back to it (assuming you are S-OFF'd from revolutionary).

I would just apply the latest radio.

Are you referring to PRL or PRI ? With the numbers you posted, I'm assuming you are talking about PRI. To update your PRI, you would need to download the PG86IMG.zip and flash through HBOOT.

You can find it here: http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1223979

Please let me know easiest waybto download new radios.
[HTC EVO 3D] leerage:
Before the latest OTA, I did radio first then WiMax but honestly it should not make a difference. The big key is making sure the MD5 matches!

The easiest way is to just follow the instructions in the OP. Copy the PG86IMG.zip over to the root of the sd card, verify MD5 matches, reboot to bootloader and let it flash.
[HTC EVO 3D] imex99:
I don't know how to adb, i always skip or wait for instructions that don't use adb.

Anyway to not use adb?
[HTC EVO 3D] leerage:
Sure. Download this MD5 checker:

http://www.georgejopling.co.uk/md5check/md5check.html

Copy over whatever PG86IMG.zip you want to flash on the root of your sd card. Open up the MD5 checker and make sure you navigate to the PG86IMG.zip on the sd card. Check its MD5 and make sure it matches. Reboot into the bootloader and flash.

I flashed the newest radio and it worked for the first few hours. Right now I am getting Data Call Failure, Error Code 128. What can I do?

actually the error went away, but I bet it will keep coming back from time to time. Any ideas?
[HTC EVO 3D] leerage:
Try updating the profile and the PRL. If that doesn't work or doesn't succeed, maybe call Sprint and see if there is a data outage in your area.

This just happened recently:

http://community.sprint.com/baw/message/326826?tstart=0
[HTC EVO 3D] matase:
Seems like too much of coincidence but I will see if I get this again after I updated profile and PRL.

I can just always flash the original radio right?
[HTC EVO 3D] leerage:
That is correct. Since you are S-OFF'd, you can flash back the original radio if you would like.
[HTC EVO 3D] mikevillarroel:
Quick question, if I have .0530 do I need to get the ota update and then flash the new radio .0808 or i can flash it without the ota?
[HTC EVO 3D] jarocho151:
Can I do this through my phone I download 97.10.053 n were is says Wimax . Do I install but of them? Do i do one first then the other one
[HTC EVO 3D] leerage:
That all depends on if you are S-OFF'd or not. If you want a full S-OFF EVO 3D, run the latest Revolutionary and then flash a custom recovery. At that point you can grab the latest radio (in PG86IMG.zip format) and flash through HBOOT.

If you aren't S-OFF'd and run the latest OTA or RUU, you won't be able run revolutionary and will be left with HTC's half assed unlock.

You will want to put 1 on the root of your SD card then reboot into the bootloader and flash. Make sure you verify the MD5 though. Once you have one flashed, remove the PG86IMG.zip and put the next one on the root of the SD card, verify MD5, reboot to bootloader and flash.
[HTC EVO 3D] jlear3:
I have the htc unlock with s-on, I can flash roms and everything, can I switch radios? The latest radio with the 2.3.4 ota sucks in my area and I want to go to the old one, is there any way??
[HTC EVO 3D] mikevillarroel:
I'm S-OFF, so I can grab the PG86IMG.zip with the updated radio and flash it through HBOOT as any other PG86IMG.zip with no issue right? The question would be if the new radio 0.97.10.0880 would work on a 1.13.651.7 based rom or i need to flash a new 2.08.651.2 based rom ?
[HTC EVO 3D] leerage:
I'm not sure about the HTC unlock but if you are able to flash ROMs etc, then you should be able to flash radios. Grab one of the older radio PG86IMG.zip and give it a shot.

I'm pretty sure the radio should work with the older ROM. When I was updating my radio, I had a 1.13 ROM running and booted back into it after flashing. Everything seemed to work fine and then within about a hour I flashed to the new 2.08 ROM so you should be OK. If for some reason things don't work right, flash back an older radio and run that until you decide with 2.08 ROM you want to go with.
[HTC EVO 3D] Osirus71:
Can someone help me out??? If my Baseband Version under setting is 0.97.10.0530, then I should use From the 1.13.651.7 OTA/RUU??? Along with the WiMax 29047???

[HTC EVO 3D] leerage:
If you are already at 0.97.10.0530 radio and 29047 WiMax, you are up to date for a 1.13.651.7 ROM. If you are running a newer 2.13 (Android OS 2.3.4), you can download the 0.97.10.0808 radio in PG86IMG.zip format and flash through HBOOT. There was no WiMax radio update in the latest OTA (2.13 rom/android OS 2.3.4) update.
[HTC EVO 3D] Viper87227:
I had 10.0530, and was not happy with it at all. 3G speeds in my house around 100-200kbps (despite showing full bars). Very poor/no signal on Sprint network when i'd head north of town to Ft. Drum. I'd pick up a Verizon roaming signal, but couldn't make or receive calls on it, and Sprint wouldn't help.

Flashed 00.0513, still had full bars inside my house. 3G speeds were basically the same. We'll see tomorrow morning if I can pick up a better Sprint signal on post.

Small sample. But on old radio, I had a hard time ever picking up a 4g signal in my NYC apartment, even when I'm next to the window. Now it picks it up quickly.

Speeds seem much faster than before (very limited comparison). Before I used to get 1500-2500 kbps. Now I'm near 9000 kbps.

Make sure its on the "root" of the SD card, so using a file explorer, open sdcard and paste right there, then when you load into bootloader it should see it and ask to update...

I like so many others upgraded my PRL and now I have ONLY 1X here's how my night went.

-Spent an hour on the phone with a very nice Sprint rep going through everything you could imagine. I asked her a few questions like "am I showing green or orange on your system" and she said "wow! how do you even know about this??" She knew that I have already been troubleshooting myself so we started to do a few more advanced things beyond things I might have tried....Then I get disconnected. Since I have GV integrated I miss a lot of calls so I missed the 2 times she tried to call back. Phone still on 1X.

I call back and simply say

Me: "I have been on the phone for an hour and we've gone through all the troubleshooting processes you can imagine and I'm still getting 1X displayed"

Rep: What is 1x? So you are roaming? Do you not see the 3G?

Me: You can have 1x and not roam you know....it's a matter of data speeds

Rep: I'm going to need you to start from the beginning trouble shooting, take the phone out of the back

Me: I've done all of this, please look at the notes on my account and you'll see all of our steps we took

Rep: Our systems are down so I cant

Me: Ok, if I could get my MSL that would be great because I'm going to downgrade my PRL and do it myself (yeh I know guys I misplaced it from the first call so I needed it again)

Rep: "That's on the back of your phone"

Me: "Umm, that's the MEID, I need the 6 digit code"

Rep: "What do you want it for? Are you going to sell it?"

Me: Are you serious right now? What would I even sell??? The code? The phone? This phone isnt worth $5 bucks right now only getting 1x speeds. Please let me speak to your supervisor

Rep: We're closed now and I'm the only person left.

Me: I'll call in the AM thanks

I was so furious b/c I cant even get on the freaking internet all day long and then this guy accuses me of wanting to sell the MSL code.....WTF does that even mean??? Sell a MSL code???? Really???? How does this guy even work for Sprint and not know what 1x is and not to mention be ignorant enough to think you can sell MSL codes like they are freaking gold or something.

I suggested that they do some googling to realize that this PRL is effecting quite a few people and they need a gameplan to help these people and not make accusations especially when they're wanting information to fix the problem that Sprint created.

Spoiler Alert. I found my MSL and ended up downgrading my PRL using the ##775# and it couldnt have been easier....amazing all the things that people on this board have been able to do while Sprint and HTC fail time after time. I still laugh about the FPS for the EVO and "how it couldnt be any higher"
