Cellular Radio 1.08.01.0111, new touchscreen firmware.

Not sure why but WiMAX radio 27243 for Evo is included in this zip from HTC.

Either way drop the PG06IMG.zip on the root of your sdcard, hold volume down and press the power button and release while holding down the volume down button.

A white screen will come up asking you if you want to update. If it doesn't ask, choose bootloader. Say yes and it will update your phone. This has been tested on multiple phone and works.

Thanks to otaking71

[EVO Shift 4G General] Nightbiker07:
Doesnt work. Bootloader goes through the motions of looking for the update files, but never finds them on the SD card. Not sure what to do from here.
[EVO Shift 4G General] fayrarri:
Is your sd card formatted to fat32? And make sure its not partitioned, whole sd card has to be fat32
[EVO Shift 4G General] Nightbiker07:
That got it done!

Wasnt used to having to do that with the Samsung phones I am accustomed to working on.

Thanks !
[EVO Shift 4G General] sparksco:
I flashed the firmware update just fine with a fat32 and ext4 partition on my sdcard.
[EVO Shift 4G General] fayrarri:
Ah mine didn't work when I had a ext4 partition, I probably screwed something up that time
[EVO Shift 4G General] ULTRAV:
Since this has Wimax 27243 included, do I need to flash Wimax 27240 after flashing this?

Brian
[EVO Shift 4G General] VICODAN:
Wimax 27243 is for the Evo, not the shift. Latest Wimax for shift is 27240.
[EVO Shift 4G General] ULTRAV:
Gotcha, so that is a yes I need to flash 27240 after this ZIP then. Correct?
[EVO Shift 4G General] VICODAN:
Please check your 4G firmware version. You should not have to flash it IIRC.
[EVO Shift 4G General] mxysptlik:
Just for my own peace of mind, do you have an md5 sum for this?

I love my shift and bricking it is the absolute LAST thing I intend to do.
[EVO Shift 4G General] YoungCorruptionV2.0:
Its always best that you do.
[EVO Shift 4G General] VICODAN:
Did you bother to click the link?

Has anyone in the thread bricked their phone?
[EVO Shift 4G General] cyberkeeper1:
just use the links provided for the separate radio and touchscreen. the Radio update includes a stable WiMax Radio update. i have no problems with it and i am Running CM7 with Gapps for 2.3.5. i just installed it too and everything runs like a dream. this phone has NEVER been so fast.

---------- Post added at 06:52 PM ---------- Previous post was at 06:38 PM ----------

no and i JUST got mine done. i couldnt thank the creator of that guide more... it works flawlessly IF you follow directions. it WILL be time consuming. with this phone, you better not worry about trying to save apps because you will be basically bouncing between ROMs while you get this done. wiping the phone, RUU to stock OTA unrooted, root, wipe and install 2.2... hack the crap out of the eMMC chip, etc... its a lot of work, but really its worth it. i will upload a screenshot of my CM7 phone, running ICS theme for ADW Launcher, which is the basis for CM7. i didnt even HAVE to flash a new radio. it worked from the gate. WiMax / 4G, everything. i just decided to flash it because its newer.
[EVO Shift 4G General] cyberkeeper1:
here is a screenshot of what i have so far for my Evo Shift 4G. its the CM7 Stable ROM running ICS theme for ADW.
[EVO Shift 4G General] sparksco:
I don't see what a adw theme has to do with firmware updates :rolleyes:

On a second note, chances of a brick are VERY slim unless you interrupt the update process, drop your phone battery falling out, dead battery ect... If the zip is corrupted from a bad download, your phone won't even be able to read the contents of the package, and won't update.
[EVO Shift 4G General] bbedward:
Does anybody have a link for the radio in the OP? It's not working :(

I'd really appreciate it!
[EVO Shift 4G General] prboy1969:
The links in the Second Post work. It just means you'd have to do the Radios file, then the touch panel file.
[EVO Shift 4G General] Jaye1789:
Just to make sure I do this all correctly. I drop the radio file on my sd card and then reboot into bootloader and it will start the update process. Then do the same for the touch panel file after.

Is there anything I should do before I start this to make sure it's done correctly, or is that basically it
[EVO Shift 4G General] Chad The Pathfinder:
Do we need wimax 27240? If so, where can we find it?
[EVO Shift 4G General] prboy1969:
I believe the Newest WiMax Radio is 27243. It's in the PG06IMG in the OP. The second post has the Radios, and the Touchscreen Firmware in seperate Zips.
[EVO Shift 4G General] Sonkway:
27243 is for the 0G EVO, 27240 is the most recent for the shift, AFAIK...
[EVO Shift 4G General] Chad The Pathfinder:
Ok thanks. I just want to be sure before doing anything. :D
[EVO Shift 4G General] strapped365:
Always check md5 sums of a radio update. If not you will be the newest member of Brick Squad. If my pc is up and running ill check the wimax version in the latest ota zip. I kinda wondering if i should upload the ROM.zip that was in the RUU

[EVO Shift 4G General] kwhubby:
Hello

I seem to be having issues updating the radio.

I first downgraded my phone to 2.2 using http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1357157

I immediately attempted to use the zip file from this thread from the fastboot/bootloader (with S-ON bootloader after 2.2 downgrade) to find that the zip file was found but never proceeded after scanning. I assumed the bootloader simply would no longer accept this as it was changed away from the htcdev version in the downgrade.

I then followed the following to flash engineering hboot and clockworkmod (5.0.2): http://wiki.cyanogenmod.org/wiki/HTC_Evo_Shift_4G:_Full_Update_Guide

When I attempt an update now, the bootloader never finds the zip file printing "No Image!"

The SD card is a freshly partitioned and formatted FAT32, I'm not sure what I'm missing. Excuse my ignorance if it's something obvious.

Do I need a different bootloader?

Can I flash this radio image from clockwork recovery?

Can I flash this radio from terminal emulator or "fastboot flash"?

Any suggestions are greatly appreciated.

Thanks!
[EVO Shift 4G General] CNexus:
What does your bootloader say at the top now? It should say "S-OFF"

Also, what did you name the zip file? Make sure it's named "PG06IMG.zip", on Windows 7 it hides the extensions, so make sure you're not naming it "PG06IMG.zip.zip"

See if that works, if not, just post again :)

EDIT: Yes, you can flash the radio through fastboot. The general syntax is "fastboot flash partition-name local-path-to-file"

So what you want to do is extract the radio.img file from the zip and put it in the same directory as fastboot. Then boot your phone into bootloader and select "Fastboot" by using the Volume keys to navigate and the Power button to select. Then run the command "fastboot flash radio radio.img" and it should flash. If you see "FAILED" in the output, then that means you're still S-ON
[EVO Shift 4G General] prboy1969:
You need to make sure you are " S-Off " before attempting to flash radios.

I have disabled the "hide extensions" option on my windows 7 installation. I even tried downloading on my phone and moving the zip to the root of the sdcard, sync and reboot.

CNexus: Thanks so much for that command, I will try this later unless I find a solution to my issues with the typical procedure.
[EVO Shift 4G General] CNexus:
Hmm. That's weird, it should find it...you're sure it's named "PG06IMG.zip"? Sorry if I keep repeating the same thing over and over, but its weird that its not flashing...

And yup, no problem

[EVO Shift 4G General] prboy1969:
Make sure you are downloading over WiFI , or Hardline. Not over the Network. So you put the PG06IMG.zip on the Root of your SD Card. Booted into Bootloader, and then it does not see it the PG06IMG.zip ? Are you sure the name is PG06IMG.zip ? It is case sensative.
[EVO Shift 4G General] kwhubby:
Yes it is PG06IMG.zip I retried re-downloading using wifi instead of network. I still get "No Image". I'm curious if the MBR on the disk is faulty in some way. My repartitioning and reformatting might be neglecting this.

Thanks for the continued help!
[EVO Shift 4G General] CNexus:
Did you try flashing through fastboot? Also, you can try copying all the files on your sdcard to your computer and then reformatting your sdcard as FAT32, if nothing else works...

Then put all the files back on your sdcard when that's done, and try again (flashing through bootloader)

Sent from my JB'd speedy
[EVO Shift 4G General] kwhubby:
It looks like I had success via fastboot! Thanks again!

Are any of the other img files in the zips needed for the evo 4g shift to be up to date? It was mentioned the wimax image is for the wrong phone, and I'm not sure what each of the other images are or how I would flash them with 'fastboot flash' if needed.
[EVO Shift 4G General] CNexus:
Well I know that wimax images can be flashed using "fastboot flash wimax wimax.img", but the touch panel images are also updated from the 2.2 images.

You can download the 2.77.651.3 RUU and google "how to extract rom.zip from an RUU", that should get you the latest zip, you can extract that and either fastboot the images you need (i don't know how to flash touch panel images through fastboot) OR take the "android-info.txt" and the wimax/all tp-*.img files and zip them into a PG06IMG.zip and then try to flash through that through hboot

OH. I have an idea. Get the PG06IMG that you were trying to use to flash the radios, extract it and make sure that it has an "android-info.txt" file, otherwise not even an S-OFF bootloader will let you flash it, or it mightve just been a bad download from the start

EDIT: Yeah, the only other things that you need is the wimax.img file and tp-(numbersHere).img files, the second type is updated touchscreen firmware.

Sent from my PG06100
[EVO Shift 4G General] kwhubby:
Thanks again!. Vicodan suggested earlier in this thread that the wimax radio in the zip is incorrect for the device- I found a thread with apparently the correct wimax

The original PG06IMG.img I was using was fine!, there appears to be something wrong with either the specific SD Card or likely the MBR on the device. I tried once again repartitioning and reformatting the device, to find an accessible 1.85GB volume from windows that I loaded new files on. From clockwordmod, it saw the old volume of 1.85GB with the files from before the repartition and format. I'm assuming the MBR had multiple partition table entries, pointing into remnant partitions on other sections of the drive- or multiple conflicting FATs after the reserved sectors on the partition (but that should be fixed by a repartition/full format). I don't have an external microSD card programmer, but I think the clockworkmod or android ways of usb mounting the device are limited. I eventually wasn't able to access the SD card- so I couldn't look at the MBR itself or make a new MBR.

A different SD card doesn't seem to have the same issue however I haven't since retried a PG06IMG.img as the fastboot method was direct and worked.

my evo is flashed from sprint to boost. if i do these updates would it send my phone back to the sprint network?

thanks

[EVO Shift 4G General] CNexus:
I doubt it, this only updates the radios, it doesn't reset your phone or anything like that
[EVO Shift 4G General] prboy1969:
Flashing the Radios should not have an affect on your Boost Mobile settings. If you want you can download APN Backup and Restore as a CYA measure.
[EVO Shift 4G General] jdjohn:
I am curious about how these PG06IMG.zip files work. I already have a PG06IMG.zip file on my SD card from the rooting process. When I copy these other two files for radio/wimax and touchscreen, will these not want to overwrite the existing file? Of course these update files are much smaller than the original PG06IMG, and I noticed that the root zip file is not actually expandable as a normal zip file, so I'm guessing these are not the same types of files anyway.

I'm also guessing that I can't place both of these two new update zip files on the SD card at the same time, since one of them will get the ...(1).zip renaming convention.

Thanks in advance for any insights!
[EVO Shift 4G General] bilgerryan:
No you can't flash them both at the same time, PG06IMG.zip files can be used for a number of things, the file has to be named this for the bootloader to recognize it, the files would be named something else if you were trying to do this on another phone. It is what is inside the file that is important, that is why you should always rename them after you use them... For two reasons, 1) so you don't get them mixed up and 2) in case you need to reboot into recovery via a battery pull because of a bootloop, for example. If you have a PG06IMG.zip on the root of your SD you will not make it to recovery via a battery pull and power+volume down. It will prompt you to flash the file every time. Hint: The Shift is PG06100 that's where the file name comes from.:)
[EVO Shift 4G General] jdjohn:
Thanks so much for your reply. I figured that file name must be unique to the phone make and model.

So would these steps be correct as follows on my SD card for the zip file(?):

1. Rename my current PG06IMG file (i.e., the phone doesn't need this file to operate at this point; it was only for rooting purposes)

2. Copy the first PG06IMG file for updating radio/wimax and go through hboot to flash

3. Rename that radio/wimax file

4. Copy the second PG061IMG file for updating touchscreen and go through hboot to flash

5. Rename that touchscreen file so it doesn't load on future hboots

Thanks again for the tips and explanations.
[EVO Shift 4G General] bilgerryan:
Everything except the 1 you added after PG06 lol
[EVO Shift 4G General] jdjohn:
Doh! And I was trying so hard to avoid that very thing! Thanks for checking my work.
[EVO Shift 4G General] bilgerryan:
Better to ask than to brick;)
[EVO Shift 4G General] CNexus:
Completely random, but I've actually pulled my battery in the middle of flashing a radio, just to see what happened

The only problem I had after doing that was that my phone wouldn't get S-OFF, strangely :confused:

It might just have been my phone but I didn't end up with a bricked phone as some might think (and as I thought too lol)
[EVO Shift 4G General] bilgerryan:
That probably was not the smartest thing to do lol, especially just to see what would happen.
[EVO Shift 4G General] jdjohn:
This worked like a charm for me. I have fixed the errant '1' in the file name mentioned in step #4 above from my original post (thanks to bilgerryan for proofing). I know this probably seems basic to the dev guys, but might be helpful for another newb like me. :) I find it very helpful to understand the meaning behind the files and naming conventions.

FWIW, the touchscreen update only used the 2nd 'tp' file in the download, which I believe is 'tp_atmelc12_20aa.img'. The first and third files were skipped. I wonder why? The 'android-info.txt' file seems specific to this model phone, but are those other 'tp' files for different phones?

I have yet another question. In Vicodan's OP here http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1357157 , he mentions that after flashing new radio/wimax, the user should wipe cache, dalvik, format/system, wipe data/factory reset. Is all that necessary? Won't a factory reset obliviate all my rooting hard work?
[EVO Shift 4G General] bilgerryan:
1) If I remember right the other ones are for the EVO and 3VO, they are skipped because they are not for this phone, I believe one of the radios does the same thing.

2) I did not read the OP you linked to because it is long and I am going to bed soon, however I can tell you that you do not need to wipe anything when flashing radios/wimax. And no a factory reset will not unroot your phone, as long as you have S-Off root, you will be doing them quite often now if you want to flash a ROM. All the things you mentioned wiping is what needs to be wiped to flash a ROM. Check the Development Section and look at a couple different ones, mainly the features and screenshots. You have now unlocked the full capabilities of your Shift, time to go see what it can do. Keep reading up and asking questions, it all comes a lot easier once you know a little more.:D Us "dev guys" (haha) are here to help the noobs too, there are a lot of knowledgeable people around here, all you gotta do is ask. I would rather you ask before, like you did:thumbup:, you do something than after you screwed everything up lol.:) And don't forget about the search feature (although mobile xda's search is kinda useless imo, I just use Google if I'm on mobile)
[EVO Shift 4G General] CNexus:
Not to suggest that you completely disregard bilgerryan's comment, this is just for your own knowledge but if you hadn't renamed it then the bootloader just wouldn't have found the ZIP and it would've all worked out eventually lol, but its a good thing that someone caught it for you before you did it and then have been sitting there scratching your head as to why it wouldn't flash

Yeah I know. But I also knew that I could get another shift for no charge so that was also part of it, or else I wouldn't have done it lol
[EVO Shift 4G General] bilgerryan:
I guess It's ok then lol, I don't have that luxury since Sprint and Wirefly screwed me out of insurance, I think I'm gonna go the Best Buy route next time.
[EVO Shift 4G General] CNexus:
Yeah luckily I had insurance so I had some room to screw around
[EVO Shift 4G General] cyberkeeper1:
The ext3/4 partition doesnt affect the fat32 partition, except that its smaller. the only reason it would fail is if the downloaded file becomes corrupted. at boot time, the ext4 partition is not recognized because the FSTAB and MTAB mount files are not loaded. So in turn, the ext2/3/4 filesystems are not even mountable. thats why when you go into recovery it actually boots into it. When a phone boots, it loads about a few things:

INITRD (ramdisk)

KERNEL (Prepares to take over the bootloader to begin loading the following...)

FSTAB (FileSystem resource/mount TABle)

MTAB (user-specified custom mount points, if used...)

OS (Command= Fastboot OEM Boot)

Those are only used once the OEM BOOT command is used.
