Wifi has little to nothing to do with a cellular radio... Wimax and wifi use the same radio.
[EVO Shift 4G Android Development] VICODAN:
The latest wimax radio is 27240. 27243 is for the Evo.

http://geekfor.me/category/evo/radio/

If you are having other issues, try RUUing to 2.2 or 2.3

I have notified HTC about WiMax and the sense reload issue.

They are looking into it.
[EVO Shift 4G Android Development] sparksco:
I don't know what all the confusion is about the wimax radio. As I said before, download the older wimax radio version from the other radio thread (gingerbread version) http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1082192

Extract the .zip to somewhere, pc or phone, and then do the same thing for the zip here on this thread. The wimax radio's are labled exactly the same. See attached pic the radio is version EVO27240. HTC is flashing the exact same radio from their gingerbread update over itself. Also note the date on the radio is 2011 03-18. So nothing for htc to look into?
[EVO Shift 4G Android Development] VICODAN:
They need to look in to why they included the Wimax radio for the Supersonic with the Speedy.

They also need to look in to why sense constantly crashes. Maybe it's because I rooted the phone but who knows.
[EVO Shift 4G Android Development] drob311:
Wimax radios are the same for the shift and the evo...
[EVO Shift 4G Android Development] Hammerfest:
simply read the quote below, and several on the first few pages... its not that hard to see why...

^^^^^ common cause of confusion... if thats so... bring on xxx43! (again, /sarcasm)
[EVO Shift 4G Android Development] nunook:
I knew that the 43 was not for the shift long before this was posted. That doesn't explain why my speeds went from 8+mbs to 2.5Mbs after flashing this. As I said flashing the 27240 that i have from the other thread fixed the speeds. The only other thing is the power button.

If RUU to 2.2 will revert the touchscreen firmware then thanks for the info. Next time around im doing the radios but not the touchscreen.

And either way, many thanks for posting these up.
[EVO Shift 4G Android Development] trsix:
,..........

My 3 and 4g speeds are terrible now also.

They were great b4 flashing:(
[EVO Shift 4G Android Development] crump84:
Flash the old radios then..
[EVO Shift 4G Android Development] drob311:
I update my prl and profile after flashing new radios... I don't know if it makes a difference, but it definitely won't hurt... My 3G speeds have gotten better, no difference in 4G as it is the same radio as what we had. You could even flash back to froyo radios... You never know... :)
[EVO Shift 4G Android Development] crump84:
Yeah I've definitely seen an improvement in speeds. Going from the Froyo radios to the initial GB radios I didn't see a whole lot of change.. I can tell the difference with this update.
[EVO Shift 4G Android Development] VICODAN:
Same here, noticing way better 3G.
[EVO Shift 4G Android Development] smithdl1191:
Sorry if this is a dumb question, but i read a lot about stock roms, does this work for Supreme Sense v9? (at least the touchscreen one, I'm trying that one separately first)
[EVO Shift 4G Android Development] crump84:
Radios aren't ROM specific. They can be flashed while running any ROM.
[EVO Shift 4G Android Development] smithdl1191:
One other question, will I have to reflash these if i flash a new ROM?
[EVO Shift 4G Android Development] turkbot:
No its firmware so its in the board it self
[EVO Shift 4G Android Development] smithdl1191:
Thanks guys. On the issue of speed, I'm not sure how accurate or consistent it is, but I tried a before and after speed test, and before was the following: 666 down, 299 up, 108 ping. After I've had (after averaging 3 tests): 555 down, 408 up, 316 ping.

Is there a reason why the download speed dropped when my upload speed and ping increased? Is it simply a case of inherent inconsistency in speed tests?
[EVO Shift 4G Android Development] turkbot:
Well it could be a bunch of things ya know dwell time in the reception of the signal and all kinds.of off the wall things you have to take into consideration I've done many speed test myself and never got the same thing more than once
[EVO Shift 4G Android Development] smithdl1191:
So basically speed tests vary wildly and it would be impossible to get a consistent number to hang your hat on
[EVO Shift 4G Android Development] VICODAN:
Don't rely on network speed tests.

Here are the benefits of flashing this update:

VASTLY more responsive touch screen.

Improved 3G network speeds.

That's it.
[EVO Shift 4G Android Development] smithdl1191:
Just to be clear, flashing both separately (using the two files in the second post) is the same as flashing the big file in the first post, just with more steps.

That's what I did, and I'm sure that its exactly the same, but I'm just nit-picky enough to wonder if I should have used just the first post.
[EVO Shift 4G Android Development] VICODAN:
Yes, exactly. They are the same. I just flashed the zip in the first post again, it's fine. Using the 2 zips separately just creates more work for yourself.

otaking just posted that to give people choices.
[EVO Shift 4G Android Development] evolone:
I'm having some serious troubles getting the updates to install. I've tried the single file, the two files from sparksco. I tried first what the sparksco said to do from the wiki and to install the previous GB radio and wimax radio updates, they wouldn't install either.

None of the PG06IMG.zip work; I put the PG06IMG.zip file in the root of fat32 sdcard, check md5sum to be correct, I turn off the phone hold volume down, press power for a few seconds release power button and let the volume down key go after I see the bootloader attempt to load the PG06IMG.zip. It just gives an error in green text reading "no image or wrong image".

I even tried installing the stock RUU rom to see if that made any differece and didn't (didn't think so since these firmware updates are rom independent but worth a shot)

My only guess is that it's a 16GB microsd card with 1.2GB EXT3 partition for apps2ext. Maybe the ext3 partition is messing up the bootloader some how.

Anybody else successfully update with an EXT2/3/4 partition on their sdcard?

Any hints or suggestions to what I'm doing wrong or what could the issue be?

Thanks!
[EVO Shift 4G Android Development] Hammerfest:
I have EXT4 partition and SWAP partition... ill try in a few hours...
[EVO Shift 4G Android Development] androiddummy:
Just a quick question. If I want to flash the new touchscreen firmware through fastboot commands from a terminal, and I flash the wrong one, does it give me an error, or does it try to flash the wrong firmware?
[EVO Shift 4G Android Development] VICODAN:
The entire SDcard must be fat 32. Try a different SDcard. EXT will NOT work.
[EVO Shift 4G Android Development] VICODAN:
No. You will see 3 TP's, 2 bypassed 1 flashed.
[EVO Shift 4G Android Development] androiddummy:
i wasnt talking about flashing the zip files. i mean if i remove the tp files from the zip folder, and try flashing through fastboot on my computer, would trying to flash the wrong ones give me an error or would it try to flash and break something?
[EVO Shift 4G Android Development] VICODAN:
It probably just wont even find the zip unless you signed it.. why are you messing with the file? If you just want the cellular radio there is a separate zip for that. See 2nd post in this thread.
[EVO Shift 4G Android Development] androiddummy:
fastboot from a computer

I am not talking about flashing zip files from my phone. I was talking about using the fastboot binary that I have downloaded in "~/android-sdk-linux/platform-tools/" folder on my laptop to flash the files to my phone which is connected to the laptop through usb and is in fastboot mode. I am not modifying zip files to flash them from the phone.

I was just wondering:

A.) Is it possible to do using the "fastboot flash <partition> [ <filename> ]" command from the terminal on my computer? I have flashed radios using this command in the past and that is why I thought that it might work.

B.) Will doing so bypass the software compatibility check that the PG06IMG.zip method uses?

The reason I am wondering is because I am interested in how fastboot interacts with the bootloader. Sorry for any confusion.
[EVO Shift 4G Android Development] VICODAN:
No, it is not possible. AFAIK
[EVO Shift 4G Android Development] travanx:
That was an easy flash. First time I did that without using my pc to move files around.
[EVO Shift 4G Android Development] evolone:
Confirmed; only works with a single partition FAT32 sdcard.

Thanks for the advice / knowledge!
[EVO Shift 4G Android Development] crump84:
Worked just fine on my card with a sd-ext...
[EVO Shift 4G Android Development] sparksco:
Mine as well. I think the sdcards get corrupted or something. I know flashing cwm touch recovery has nothing to with these radio's, but I had to repartition my sdcard to get it to work, and when I repartitioned I did add a ext partition.
[EVO Shift 4G Android Development] Hammerfest:
ya, i totally forgot to report back.. but my Fat32/EXT4/SWAP partitioned card flashed the radio/touchscreen firmware w/o issue :P

BTW, As I have already switched my storage and backup drives... as soon as android gets a PUBLIC (oh, and free... or cheap) EXFAT capability, Fat32 will be gone so fast its head will spin, wait... FLASH not HDD :P...
[EVO Shift 4G Android Development] StAlphonso:
Is it normal that it bypassed 1 and 3? either way touch screen is significantly improved (and I thought it was pretty good to begin with) and I seem to be getting at least slightly better service in my apartment, which is great cause its been spotty the last couple of months...thanks so much for this!
[EVO Shift 4G Android Development] abadasstanker69:
I've noticed my GPS is having difficulties locking now until I restart the phone. I used faster fix and GPS tools to recalibrate and reset my GPS but nothing works unless I reboot the phone. Is this related to this update you think?
[EVO Shift 4G Android Development] prboy1969:
Thanks Vic, just updated. Everything seems to be working great. 3G is definately faster, and the touchscreen response is noiticebly better.
[EVO Shift 4G Android Development] stslivealoha:
another noob question. My evo shift is with a local carrier in Hawaii (MobiPCS). Not sprint... I had to take it to a local shop to have it "fixed" so it would work with Mobi. Will flashing the radio have any impact on this?
[EVO Shift 4G Android Development] drob311:
Call the local carrier that "fixed" it... Don't flash until you know for sure...
[EVO Shift 4G Android Development] prboy1969:
+1 to what drob said.
[EVO Shift 4G Android Development] abadasstanker69:
There's a thread somewhere in here that shows how to get mms and data working on cricket. When you hook up cdma workshop, read the data from your phone. Save the configuration file. Flash the update. Restore the configuration file.
[EVO Shift 4G Android Development] VICODAN:
Absolutely not. If it does, I owe you $10.
[EVO Shift 4G Android Development] VICODAN:
Yes this is normal. Enjoy!

I did notice this too. Have you updated PRL and profile lately and/or run fix permissions? Usually how it works is on first boot GPS status takes a sec to get the first 2 satellites and then bam 6 others appear.

Once that happens you should be good until you reboot again.

Also 4G interferes with the GPS for some odd reason. My guess is wireless network "assistance".
[EVO Shift 4G Android Development] abadasstanker69:
Actually I don't think I did update my profile and prl. Thanks! You just gave me a reason to flash a sense rom! Lol
[EVO Shift 4G Android Development] sparksco:
There hasn't been a prl update in a long time. AAMOF I'm still on 60683 right now.
[EVO Shift 4G Android Development] letmeputdatipin:

to be clear

So to my understanding of this post and the following of thread. If I run this I will not loss/break my 4G but I will see faster speed of my 3G and the touchscreen is better? Correct?
[EVO Shift 4G Android Development] YoungCorruptionV2.0:
Correct
[EVO Shift 4G Android Development] galaara98:
just a note, my touch screen sensitivity improved, but I put my radio back.. my 3G speeds, in Boise ID area worsened. now they suck either way, but for Me, the radio from the froyo RUU has the best 3G

Aaron
[EVO Shift 4G Android Development] YoungCorruptionV2.0:
For radio's it also depends on where you live so froyo radios might work best for you but for someone else the gingerbread radios might work better. You just have to test it out for yourself
[EVO Shift 4G Android Development] galaara98:
Yeah, that's the message I wanted to convey to peeps.. that all newer firmwares, kernels, etc. Do not always mean better... Often its better for most, and the rest have mixed results with that tiny percentage that it just sucks.

Aaron
[EVO Shift 4G Android Development] YoungCorruptionV2.0:
Well then +1 to you lol :)

ok, question. i broke my screen a few days ago. ordered a replacement. installed last night. after starting up the phone i noticed the responsiveness was off some. it shuddered and acted a little quirky. i restarted the phone in CWMR and tried to fix permissions. the touch screen did not work in touch recovery. nor did the bottom 4 touch buttons. i used the voluma/pwr keys to do what i needed to do. restarted. no touch working at all. pulled battery, and restarted. touch worked. rebooted into recovery, no touch. restart, no touch. battery pull restart, touch work. i disassembled the phone again and rechecked all of the connections to make sure one wasnt slightly off. then tried the above things again with the same results. i did the upgrade in this thread right after it came out. worked fine. the broken screen worked fine, it was just broken. i'm redownloading the file now to see if reflashing it will help.

if this does not work, can i get a flash to revert to the old drivers for the touch screen? any ideas?

and the update did not fix it.
[EVO Shift 4G Android Development] prboy1969:
Well first things first, before you get torched I'll say it nicely. This should be in Q & A . Moving on. It sounds like something else is wrong. From what your describing, your Digitizer ( The Glass ) was damaged. You replaced it, and things aren't quite right. The first question would be, did you purchase the Digitizer from a reputable company? Did you make sure to follow instructions on how to replace / repair the device? Did you make sure not to touch the underside of the Digitizer that mates to the LCD Screen? Did you make sure to ground the device before working on it? Are you sure you didn't bend any pins? These are just a few of the questions you need to ask yourself. Please tell me you only did the replacement yourself because you did not have TEP?

[EVO Shift 4G Android Development] jsp254:
Replacement screen was $35. Deductible $100. That's the short of it. And I did touch the underside. I noticed after the install there were two small smudges under the glass. I'll try cleaning that and test again. I posted here because I presumed it was a driver problem. And I did follow a disassembling guide.
[EVO Shift 4G Android Development] prboy1969:
So you do have TEP? Because a broken screen is covered under TEP. The $35 seems cheap but if it doesn't work out it's quite expensive. The $100 you mention is for an insurance claim correct? Just in case you cannot correct the issue. Third party stores will usually repair / replace the screen under TEP. Somewhere between $35-$55 for the repair. Also I usually wear black rubber latex gloves when I work on a device. Cheap insurance against fingerprints, and static conduction.

The galaxy tab is EOL. Get a transformer
[EVO Shift 4G Android Development] drob311:
I wouldn't get the transformer, it has been a serious problem... No working gps is the biggest complaint I have read here on XDA... It looks like an amazing device, but it looks like Asus "dropped the ball" on this device...

Sent from my PG06100
[EVO Shift 4G Android Development] Hammerfest:
hey hey, dems harsh words, that serious problem is for the Asus Trashformer Prime (yes, the Prime is a TRASHFORMER... the case causes GPS and low WiFi signal issues as well as having a SINGLE speaker right where anyone/everyone puts their right hand... YOUR HOLDING IT WRONG... holy ****, wasnt even a iCrap product...), my Original Transformer and Dock I love unreasonably so...

That being said, getting back on topic, with the new touchscreen firmware, Im having a hell of a time adjusting to the fact its more accurate now... I mean hell I use my HD2 normally so its not my main device... but I seem to have this... "routine" when I pickup my Shift to prepare to type awkwardly...

it makes meh giggle...

Does anyone know if this will work for the HTC Detail (the non-branded version of the Evo Shift)?
[EVO Shift 4G Android Development] prboy1969:
Not sure if it will, or won't :confused: . But when it comes to Radios you should be very cautious. it's a hellua easy way to make a very expensive paperweight :rolleyes: . Meaning you can Brick it, not good.

@prboy1969 I've already updated to the 1.08.00.0506 radio, so that's not too big of a concern. I was more concerned with the touch screen firmware.
[EVO Shift 4G Android Development] sparksco:
It depends on if the hardware is exactly the same. Touchscreen, same size touch screen, same radio's hardware ect. Just do some research and you might be able to use it.
[EVO Shift 4G Android Development] lllPHLAKlll:
I went ahead with the update because everything I'm reading indicates that the HTC Detail is the exact same hardware as the HTC Evo Shift 4G. The update went fine and my phone is up and running on the new radio and TS firmware.
[EVO Shift 4G Android Development] prboy1969:
Glad it worked for you :) . I just tend to err on the side of caution with Radios, and such.
[EVO Shift 4G Android Development] TarantinoAKASerge:
What benefit does using the latest firmware for the Detail provide over the 02/03/12 update for the Shift?
[EVO Shift 4G Android Development] strapped365:
I think he is actually using the Shift radios and TS firmware on the HTC Detail, I've had a couple pms about that phone that was running SS and until I got the private messages I never knew that phone existed LOL. It's just an EVO Shift on another carrier :)
[EVO Shift 4G Android Development] finalhit:
i seem to be having some issues flashing this update.

i placed the zip file in my sd's root, restart while holding down-volume and power, and when i gets to hboot, it does it's scan of the files and when it gets to PG06IMG.zip, it just says "No Image" (as well as the rest of the other files it checks for)

am i missing something? i have hboot-0.93.2001 (PG0610000) radio 1.09.00.0506

looks like i should have googled first, asked questions later.

i just needed to format my sd-card to fat32.

[EVO Shift 4G Android Development] Enraged21:

in the first post, does that have both the touchware update and the radio update in the one file?
[EVO Shift 4G Android Development] prboy1969:
Yes it does ;) . Just follow the video you should be fine.
[EVO Shift 4G Android Development] xFilthyxJesusx:
Is there any way to remove this new touch screen update? I'd like to revert to the older firmware, this newer one seems to give me all kinds of issues regarding the screen. While using sense (phone fully booted up) I have to toggle the screen on and off in a certain pattern to get the screen to stay on. The screen will only stay on in landscape mode, not portrait. I can only use the hardware keypad to make selections, touch is completely nonfunctional. But if I boot into recovery it doesn't seem to matter how I have the screen orientated, it functions as expected and is on and responsive in both portrait and landscape.

About a week after installing the touch screen update the issues started appearing. I was using MikRunny before and after update. I switched to Mik-G to see if the issue was specific to MikRunny, and still the issue persisted. RUU'd back to stock, same issue. (all times wiped COMPLETELY)

Any insight is greatly appreciated. I'm considering going to sprint for a replacement. Without insurance I was quoted $35 for the replacement over the phone. I'm on the fence.

Here's my specs if it helps:

Hardware: 0004

Android: 2.3.4

Some of the touchscreen issues are because of bootloader compatability. The "old" eng bootloader was based on froyo, all of this firmware is intended to run with gingerbread. I had touchscreen issues as well until I installed the latest htc bootloader.
[EVO Shift 4G Android Development] xFilthyxJesusx:
Speedy XE ENG S-OFF

HBoot: 0.93.2001

Is this the old one?

Also if I use the "new" bootloader, (unlock from HTC?) Is there a method for perm root with it? Because from what I've been reading it seems like to attain permroot you use the HTC Hboot unlock to downgrade to the ENG spl.

Anyone have the "old" touchscreen firmware? Can I just flash it over the "new" one?
[EVO Shift 4G Android Development] prboy1969:
Yes that is the " old " one. If you do decide to Upgrade to the new HBoot. I would RUU to 2.3.4 manually, not do an OTA Update. No you don't have to use the HTC Dev.com tool. Indirect has a method that does not require you to use that, it's HERE. But keep in mind in order to Root again your going to have to downgrade the Bootloader.
[EVO Shift 4G Android Development] sparksco:
Yes you have the older bootloader, the newest one is 0.99.001 and yup unlock with htc's tool. I'm going to be trying a few things out with the new booloader soon and see if I can get it from "unlocked" to "s-off" without downgrading. It could take awhile to do this lol. Another thing I was thinking about is trying to make a new bootloader from source which some people have done. I think the older touchscreen firmware is in the froyo ruu but I could be wrong.
[EVO Shift 4G Android Development] thronnos:
I must be very lucky or this is a hit and miss thing. I'm on the old eng bootloader and all my flashes and touchscreen stuff work perfectly. :-D
