[HTC EVO 3D] leerage:
The only problem I've noticed is sometime after waking up the phone my WiFi will hang on connecting. I just have to forget the network and re-enter password. Glad I held off on the firmware. Now we just need to get a actual Sprint Evo 3d leak so we get the right firmware.
[HTC EVO 3D] jlechner:
Hopefully
[HTC EVO 3D] gfullwr70:
I can confirm no data while roaming

This sucks
[HTC EVO 3D] jlechner:
Has anyone tried Treve's firmware bits?
[HTC EVO 3D] fr0st420:
If your roaming try using that Verizon prl. See I'd you get data after that.
[HTC EVO 3D] alanmv567:
Where might I find this information on how to do this?
[HTC EVO 3D] :
Things just keep getting worse...
[HTC EVO 3D] mingolianbeef:
Why can't anyone just unzip the firmware, replace that data file thing chad said something about that controls the whole virgin mobile issue, duplicate the files name and repackage and release.? We have enough RUUs around here to do it
[HTC EVO 3D] powduh09:
I have the same issue, and I updated firmware, however, I flashed chads kernel, then back to the original kernel because 3d didn't work on chads, but it fixed this wonky WiFi bug... Perhaps something in his modules fixed it? I don't know, but I had this issue constantly until I flashed chads kernel...

sent from my nocturnaled ics 3vo
[HTC EVO 3D] droiddawg:
Flyer, is it possible to hex edit an older rcdata.img to reflect a higher pri number? I know people did it on the EVO 4g when pri 1.34 leaked, someone hex edited the number to 1.40.

It should technically overwrite it with it being a "higher" number, even if it is only 1 higher.

The only bad thing I can see is if we get a real Sprint rcdata.img from the real ics and the pri is the same as this one. Even then, we don't know if it'll overwrite it anyways.

Just an idea.
[HTC EVO 3D] Visionikz03:
I was thinking why not take the VM firmware and if that file is not replaceable at least change the extension of it to "dgz" or watever so that it can be wiped with an ruu that has the same extension. Im sure its not that easy though... but my question is... has anyone really proved that the network really thinks we are on VM? I dial *2 and get sprint. Sprint apps work on this rom? What if u rollback to the firmware from 2.17? Will the network still think you're on VM?
[HTC EVO 3D] Genesis Nova:
I don't think it's that simple, if it were I guarantee someone would've already tried it, the file that we flashed that controls the virgin mobile area on our phone isn't too keen on being downgraded, It could be similar to our previous 1.50 Hboot woes...but if it's anything similar then I think it *could* be remedied by the same way us 1.50 Hboot users downgraded.
[HTC EVO 3D] greeg32:
Smart leak by sprint to get roaming by the rooted community under control? Lol?
[HTC EVO 3D] louforgiveno:
yeah, I believe it's the AOC setting
[HTC EVO 3D] droiddawg:
http://forum.gsmhosting.com/vbb/archive/t-1449240.html

From a gsm forum for EVO 3d. Karlos007 states some of the blocks including radio config. Now I understand this is for GSM, but the block setup would have to be the same? Right??

It says /proc/emmc has some of the blocks. mmcblk0p19 is radio config or i'm guessing, rcdata.img
[HTC EVO 3D] retnuh730:
From ppcgeeks forum:

My setting was at 5 before i changed it to 6. Does anybody with a stock evo want check theirs after they get into the advanced menu of the ##DATA# menu to see what it is for stock users? this is the one for network priority.
[HTC EVO 3D] poweroutlet:
we're all f*cked, stuck on this firmware forever :(
[HTC EVO 3D] antonio824:
That's not a good mentality... These genius devs will figure it out!
[HTC EVO 3D] oblivion2k:
One very, very small issue I noticed on initial flash was that 4g initially took a very long time to connect, 5 minutes or so. After that, it has worked flawlessly. No other issues apart from cosmetics.
[HTC EVO 3D] linkinx64:
Do we all agree that 3g speed are slow? Or just me ?
[HTC EVO 3D] HTCFlyerX:
Droid Dawg.....this was actually the fix we were looking into but after two different tried it is clearly a no go! We have spoke to calkulin and tried many different devices PRIs but our device is the only 8x60 device for sprint besides the design 4G but that uses a different way of flashing its PRI
[HTC EVO 3D] HTCFlyerX:
Until a fix is found or the ICS leak is confirmed to have an updated PRI then we must all accept that our data will NOT be what it used to be!

This definently blows but i have high hopes for a leak soon because I don't see virgin Mobile releasing ICS before Sprint!
[HTC EVO 3D] droiddawg:
Do you guys have the block number in the emmc partition table? I found it via /proc/emmc. Its mmcblk0p19, I found it in root explorer and am trying to copy it to my PC to view via hex editor to confirm.
[HTC EVO 3D] louforgiveno:
if I remember right, the lower the number the higher the priority....I think sprint is set to 2 and boost mobile is set to 5 by default
[HTC EVO 3D] fr0st420:
My accolc is set to 7.
[HTC EVO 3D] k2buckley:
3g is good for me. Ping is slow, but that's normal. I've had zero issues on this VM firmware. So odd that it's affecting everyone differently. I just hope that I'm not connecting to something I'm not supposed to be.
[HTC EVO 3D] retnuh730:
you stock or new radios?

speaking of, if other guys can flash their phones to work with cricket, why cant we just retype our old stock info in for sprint and essentially get our sprint phones back?
[HTC EVO 3D] poweroutlet:
Agreed. 3G speeds were crap before and now even worse.
[HTC EVO 3D] linkinx64:
My accolc was 6
[HTC EVO 3D] fastamx79:
Stock firmware from the 2.17 base (did NOT flash the VM firmware) and mine is set to 4
[HTC EVO 3D] poweroutlet:
Mine is at 8, wtf
[HTC EVO 3D] greeg32:
Flashed the freeza firmware. I'm at 3
[HTC EVO 3D] mswlogo:
I just did what you suggested and it WORKED !!!

HOWEVER, it still says Virgin Mobile.

My PRI now says Version 1.53_145 (which is what I patched the PRI that came with 2.17 Sprint Firmware).

I think we have to do something similar to RFG_1.img because it's loaded with Virgin Mobile strings.

Can anyone suggest how I can prove my PRI is behaving as a Sprint PRI now?

I'm 99.99% sure I'm back on Sprint PRI.

I figured if it worked we would could always patch the official PRI if it came in with the same or lower version.

So appears there are no checksums or signatures.

Because my phone now says 1.53_145 from a SPRINT rcdata.img !!!
[HTC EVO 3D] kittykat858:
mine is 0
[HTC EVO 3D] johnsmusicbox:
I did not flash the VM firmware, running CleanROM ICS RC1, mine is set to 2.
[HTC EVO 3D] Gumby63:
Ahh okay gotcha. And just fyi, I have the sprint banner not virgin mobile.
[HTC EVO 3D] retnuh730:
I figure we'll be good to go when the official sprint ICS drops, since it'll likely have the same thing, only sprint branded. If we go around trying to hack these new radios to behave differently that's where we'll start bricking things.
[HTC EVO 3D] el poblano:
My network still says sprint.
[HTC EVO 3D] Cuppeerr:
It's just cosmetic. If you weren't in the database then you wouldn't have signal and wouldn't be able to call/sms

---------- Post added at 08:55 PM ---------- Previous post was at 08:54 PM ----------

how.
[HTC EVO 3D] droiddawg:
No, I ruued 2.08 and 1.13 and neither helped.
[HTC EVO 3D] retnuh730:
I've heard somewhere it's a PRI issue, which was one of the things changed by the update as well.
[HTC EVO 3D] phonetec:
Here is the fix if you do not have 3g after flashing:

You need to get your msl (I used MSL reader from the Play store to get it) and dial ##3282# from the dialer, select edit mode. Put the msl as your security passcode. Then, select data profile, press menu in the upper right corner, select restore, then confirm. The phone will reboot and you should have 3G again! :)
[HTC EVO 3D] majid25:
Save me from this curse!!!!!!
[HTC EVO 3D] droiddawg:
Yeah, that was my guess before Chad popped open the firmware zip and looked at what was inside vs 2.17.
[HTC EVO 3D] retnuh730:
Realistically I think we're best off sitting and waiting for sprint's OTA and radios to come out. Right now people panicking and flashing stuff left and right is probably more dangerous to their phones than these radios. I have the radios. I have none of these problems. A few of these issues could be attributed to the ROM itself instead of the firmware.

This is going to create a panic when we're not even sure what its actually doing to our phones.
[HTC EVO 3D] Keion:
This doesn't apply to me because I run off wifi alone. Hooray for luddites.

Sent from my leaking 3d ice cream.
[HTC EVO 3D] :
Oh how I wish you were right...

But no, people compaining of these problems have tried everything but nothing working...

This includes downgrading firmware and then trying a stock rom
[HTC EVO 3D] crucial929:
found this on another part of the fourms when i was looking up what we are dealing with
[HTC EVO 3D] :
HTC Sensation RUU's and blocks are different, so i dont think this will help
[HTC EVO 3D] retnuh730:
so what would happen if freeza or somebody simply removed that new thing from the firmware zips?
[HTC EVO 3D] droiddawg:
No...but it explains the dzdata and dzdata_4g dilemma.
[HTC EVO 3D] Genesis Nova:
Yeah what Droiddawg said, if we knew our Evo 3D's partition map like that, it'd be as simple as pulling the dzdata_4g.hdr out of a stock (well, not with vm firmware) Evo and flashing back.
[HTC EVO 3D] retnuh730:
Seems to be CIQ (or the CIQ skeleton that HTC pushes out but carriers are supposed to be disabling)
[HTC EVO 3D] :
Ah, I see.

Any chance of someone making this more easily digestable?
[HTC EVO 3D] xlxcrossing:
I'm nauseous from the Pre-Calculus exam above. I'm kind of a **** is or aint working kinda guy. Basically if indeed any errors experienced from updating the firmware on your device are present - downgrading that firmware won't be an option to remedy it...am I correct?? I already flashed the firmware but have been able to reflash back to other roms, I just assume update the firmware yet again when the Sprint ICS leak drops.
[HTC EVO 3D] kittykat858:
we did this morning, and was told by the testers it failed...

it worked on my hw001 phone

i do not have a hw002 phone at the moment to test on.
[HTC EVO 3D] jlechner:
I do
[HTC EVO 3D] poweroutlet:
So someone was actually able to revert to sprint PRI?
[HTC EVO 3D] stealthee:
Mind sharing the patched PG86IMG? My network connection is fubard right now i almost got nothing to lose. Have to reboot serveral times just to make a call.
[HTC EVO 3D] HTCFlyerX:
NO your NOT on the Sprint PRI...the rcdata can ONLY be upgraded not downgraded!
[HTC EVO 3D] HTCFlyerX:
If you attempt to flash using hboot or fastboot it will tell you it wrote fine but it really didn't and chad and i have confirmed this already
[HTC EVO 3D] kittykat858:
attached....

TESTED: hw002 retail phone w/ 1.04 ENG hacked bootloader

flashed this, rebooted - and PRI ver matched what i hex-edited into the file, so this is proof the file flashed.

the Virgin Mobile PRI is 1.53.144 this is THE 2.17 SPRINT PRI WITH A PRI# OF 1.54.145 - if your phone reports 145, it accepted this file.

now we need to deal w/ the other file (rfg_1.img)
[HTC EVO 3D] HSadler93:
Is there any EPST changes being recommended for those of us who did flash the Virgin Mobile Firmware?
[HTC EVO 3D] HTCFlyerX:
My tester and i both have hw002 phones and neither of our hex editted rcdatas worked so let's just accept things for what they are and hope our official ICS fixes it!
[HTC EVO 3D] HTCFlyerX:
If you've been reading the thread you would've seen that earlier today I erased EVERY partition on the phone and reloaded the .imgs speperately....chad has spoke to Qualcomm and confirmed the rcdata partition can not be erased or downgraded...ONLY updated!!
[HTC EVO 3D] coolcapnc:
Changed my ACCOLC to 4 and everything seems a bit faster/more stable.
[HTC EVO 3D] jlechner:
We hear you, Jesus, chill.
[HTC EVO 3D] poweroutlet:
So your attached file gives us sprint PRI?

What does the rfg_1 file do?
[HTC EVO 3D] HSadler93:
Just flashed the attached .zip (Already flashed VM FW), what can I do to confirm it worked??

EDIT: PRI Version : 1.53_145 is that what we are going for?

EDIT2: I've set my ACCOLC to 0 currently my NAI is set to #sletters@virginmobile.usa.sprintpcs.com and realm to virginmobileusa.sprintpcs.com (Both in WiMAX) should either of these be changed?
[HTC EVO 3D] mswlogo:
Yes, I believe I am.

I faked it out to make it think it was an upgrade.

I just double confirmed by trying to update with the old 2.17 and my 1.53_145 is sticking.

Chad seems now convinced that this method works.

Chad just posted his version so I won't confuse things by posting mine.

I don't quite understand why you and your testers said it didn't work and now agree that it does.

You don't seem in sync with chad I thought you were wrking with him?

By the way I'm on HW002 with HB00T 1.40
[HTC EVO 3D] gokart2:
Would have been nice for some dev testing/looking into instead of getting all excited and throwing it out to the masses. And the fact every ICS Rom that came out specified it was needed while in reality, it wasn't.

I'm kinda pissed it was thrown out there with whawt seemed like no looking into whatsoever. BUT...ultimately it's our dumbass faults for flashing it.
[HTC EVO 3D] poweroutlet:
I agree that it sucks, but yes it was our faults for being idiots and flashing this. I just couldn't resist the temptation of working ICS.
[HTC EVO 3D] strive53:
I set mine to 2... My girls incredible on Verizon is on 1...
[HTC EVO 3D] jlechner:
Also now on 1.53_145
[HTC EVO 3D] kittykat858:
im gonna start on the rfg_1.img file now

i got my HW002 back from my neighbor abt 10 min ago :) its on now
[HTC EVO 3D] gk1984:
Confirmed working forum me. At least it flashed and my pri booted shows 145 as you mentioned
[HTC EVO 3D] jlechner:
Cool. Let us know.
[HTC EVO 3D] droiddawg:
Well, I see all the text strings that says virgin mobile but unfortunately the sprint one has no branding at all to give you a clue what you're looking at :(
[HTC EVO 3D] chrisfales:
So still on vm radio but flashed chads little zip and my pri changed. Should I flash 2.17 radio zip now? I hope I didn't screw myself further. Lol. Thanks everyone!
[HTC EVO 3D] kittykat858:
all i know is i better wake up to 6000 thanks after i get this
[HTC EVO 3D] poweroutlet:
Would fixing the rfg_1 in addition to PRI issue allow us to fully revert to 2.17 firmware?
[HTC EVO 3D] jlechner:
Ha, figures.
[HTC EVO 3D] fastamx79:
This issue doesn't affect me, but I threw you a thanks for your work in helping others, and I'll give ya some more when you crack that nut :)
[HTC EVO 3D] majid25:
flashed chads zip and PRI did NOT change :( ...i hope im not in more deep sh*t..still on 1.53_145
[HTC EVO 3D] droiddawg:
Lawlz, I'm hoping to up my thanks as well, this has me greatly interested. I'm not a dev but after this, I might learn some c++ and whatnot and try to be one. :D
[HTC EVO 3D] jlechner:
How about a mail order bride to "polish your phone" for you......
[HTC EVO 3D] newboyx:
I volunteer to test if needed. I don't have much to lose at this point.
[HTC EVO 3D] droiddawg:
144 is VM, 145 is the hex edited version, you're good!
[HTC EVO 3D] poweroutlet:
isn't 1.53_145 the one you want?
[HTC EVO 3D] k2buckley:
That is the Sprint one....the VM one ends in 144
[HTC EVO 3D] mswlogo:
1.53_145 is the correct PRI.

You will only see it change from 1.53_144 to 1.53_145 to show that it took.
[HTC EVO 3D] majid25:
Really??

Chad said: "the Virgin Mobile PRI is 1.53.144 this is 1.54.145 - if your phone reports 145, it accepted this file."

I need to be on 1.54 im on 1.53 still
[HTC EVO 3D] kittykat858:
if you read my post - you would know if ur on 145 vs 144 - the flash took...

there are TWO parts to this - im working on the 2nd one now

part 1 (done in the zip a few posts up) should fix radio issues, droped calls, etc...

can someone verify if it fixed their VPN issue????
[HTC EVO 3D] mswlogo:
Yes and no. I believe it will at least get rid of the Virgin Mobile-isms

There might be other files not rolling back that are not Virgin Mobile specific.

The PRI one might actually be the most useful for getting back network performance and perhaps roaming for some folks.
[HTC EVO 3D] Mexiking10:
Might have just been a typo, but I can assure you VM ends in 144.
[HTC EVO 3D] gfullwr70:
Already tried can't update prl. EPST don't let me and I tried the ol G epst too. No go
[HTC EVO 3D] bigwillyg:
Unless he wrote 1.54 and meant 1.53
[HTC EVO 3D] Will32:
Can I flash this with revolutionary hboot?
[HTC EVO 3D] jlechner:
Yes. I did anyway
[HTC EVO 3D] wake69:
Yes you should be able to without issue
[HTC EVO 3D] retnuh730:
There needs to be a way to stress test our phones with the new pri to see if that fixes it.
[HTC EVO 3D] droiddawg:
Chad, have you tried adding rfg_1 from 2.08 to the pg86img and flashing via hboot on your hw002 phone? I noticed 2.17 didn't have a rfg_1....
[HTC EVO 3D] Will32:
Kinda scared but I'm gonna flash it, hw002. Will edit in a minute.

Edit.... Worked, now on 145

Hell yes, I just downloaded sprint tv, which I couldn't on 144
[HTC EVO 3D] p3tr0s:
It worked for me..... I'm 1.4 s-off hardware 002.... Flashed the vm update 144 (unfortunately) but just flashed the test radio and my pri now shows 145. Looks promising!
[HTC EVO 3D] retnuh730:
Flashing willy nilly is kind of what got us into this situation originally... I have faith in chad but like at least lets wait and see how the first people who flashed it are feeling in a few minutes before jumping in.
[HTC EVO 3D] p3tr0s:
The man said he needed testers... I'm not one of the ones on here complaining about the situation, but I'm also not one that can contribute at their level. So if my testing helps them find a resolution that is my choice to make.
[HTC EVO 3D] mswlogo:
My 2.17, 2.08 zips have rfg_1 and rfg_2 and don't appear to be taking.

I've run every RUU released.

Thanks for your suggestion to bump rcdata version.

I didn't know it was that brain dead simple.
[HTC EVO 3D] gokart2:
Times a hex edited million, relax a bit.
[HTC EVO 3D] Shinzul:
The only thing to keep in mind if you do this is that you may end up having to hex edit the legit Sprint ICS version again just to be able to flash it. Otherwise it'll crap out with an error about versions being lower or equal, etc.

But I'm sure you already knew that :)
[HTC EVO 3D] wake69:
After flashing, speed tests are faster, on sprint 4g, voicemail is back, data profile is back to sprint, wimax settings back to sprint!

Great job Chad!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Post 69, im not sure i want to post again for a bit lol

Thanks again all who are helping those of us flash-a-holics!

Think he was generally speaking to masses. Of course it needs to be tested. That too was an issue before.
[HTC EVO 3D] droiddawg:
No problem, figured we couldn't downgrade so a tiny upgrade would have solved it. :)

We'll cross that bridge when we get there. :D We'll just simply do the same thing and just bump it up _001 if need be. All we can do is hope our official PRI is a different number than this VM release.
[HTC EVO 3D] majid25:
in that case, success from my side. Thanks chad for helping us all out
[HTC EVO 3D] louforgiveno:
Has anyone re-tried vpn after flashing the file chad posted ?

Also Chad, can the partition(s) in question be backed up into a nandroid ?

I ask because if so I might have something you can try?

[HTC EVO 3D] droiddawg:
any chance rfg_1 is associated with another file? I added it to the pg86img and it didn't show up as being flashable. Maybe there is another file we need to add to it?

flash chads zip and now im also showing 1.53_145
[HTC EVO 3D] droiddawg:
I think this was mentioned probably 10+ pages back, but I'm assuming rfg_1 is one of those that probably needs to be fastbooted.
[HTC EVO 3D] fearbasel04:
Ok this is what got me thinking viper Rom dropped calls etc went back to cleanrom the first Rom he did with ics. And all is good. For the hell of it I flashed chads pri still good. Only vm is under my 4g address and the banners. Yet my 4g is connecting faster ever since the leak. Hmm

Realm address that is
[HTC EVO 3D] louforgiveno:
me either, and me too....fingers crossed for u guys
[HTC EVO 3D] kittykat858:
i dont have issue either.. so why am i even doing this??

cause freeza is my buddy :) and to help u all
[HTC EVO 3D] troyboytn:
I have VM addresses in my Wimax settings as well, but never flashed the firmware. This is would be connected to the rom itself. my banners, of course have always been Sprint.

I have seen the **** u get on xda and after today I do not understand why. You are a nice guy man. Thank you
[HTC EVO 3D] fearbasel04:
Chad u think the Rom can also make these problems. I wonder what roms are being runing with the problems.
[HTC EVO 3D] fearbasel04:
Thanks for the reply... I am good with tech stuff but not programing. I wanna pinpoint this.
[HTC EVO 3D] kittykat858:
other developers who cant figure out some kernel stuff are mad that i dont share source - so they can improve.

fact is i do share source - if u look @ the very BOTTOM of my change logs in a link to source - but i dont include stuff covered under my NDA cause i cant..
[HTC EVO 3D] fearbasel04:
I am all for open source. This is why I wanted android. If u are sharing thank you. But if they wanna still credit ****em lol
