funny thing is the people who report me the post or trash talk me in threads dont even 100% comply

and yes, i do share everything except stuff i can not legally post

got a repo @ github, and @ code.google

anyway -

i made a zip file

i flashed it

i pulled all my partitions down from the phone to the pc

yes, all of the - system and data also.. took forever, 4GB over usb...

diffed each one (except system and data) against 2.17

and the only 3 differences:

1)the change i made to rcdata, so we will call that a match

2)adsp - this allows u to boot linux 3, and i never re-flashed it from 2.17

3) rfg_1.img

so the only 2 partitions that dont match are adsp and rfg_1

NOW on my hw001 phone

i diffed adsp w/ the one i received OTA for the 3d- and they are a md5 match

so - whats left.. rfg_1.img

now.. wtf is the fastboot partition name for it...???

putting this here, so i can find it later (im not at my pc)

Sent u a message chad.
[HTC EVO 3D] genstukov:
It's not freeza's fault we did this to ourselves. No one but us are responsible for flashing the firmware. People wanted the hboot removed from the firmware update and that's what he gave them.

Also thank you chad for helping us and everyone else that's coming up with fixes thank you. Once a full fix is made (crosses fingers) I will flash. I just don't want to jump the gun again.
[HTC EVO 3D] fearbasel04:
Can u tell me what Rom ur on and what's wrong with ur phone?

one more note to my self (not at my pc - need someplace to put this stuff)

unchanged files from VM to 2.17

partition.img

pg2fs_spcustom

rfg_2 (all ZEROS)

spl2

wimax

...yes - wimax was NOT changed

adsp note - the extra 10MB or space used in 2.17 is all ZEROS (6.2 vs 16.8)
[HTC EVO 3D] kittykat858:
would not have been all day if i actually had been able to use my hw002 phone

i cant use it during the day - cause i get important calls on it - then my bother was on it for a bit -then i got it back, and verified my fix from this morning actually worked.. (well 1/2 of it - the actual PRI downgrade back to sprint)
[HTC EVO 3D] spirithandler:
I 100% agree with you I was stupid enough to flash the "Virgin" I dont blame anybody but myself for it.

Chad I love your kernels they are the **** you are one talented Mother Fcuker!

@ everybody thats blaming freeza you guys are a bunch of douche bags take responsibility for your own stupidity.

You were eager for ICS and flashed and now you dont like the issues your having oh well deal with it. I am and I blame only myself.

If there is one person that can fix it. it is chad but you ****s are going to piss him off and he is going to stop.

Remember people work better with praise. If you continue attacking why would they want to do anything to help.

Ok thats my two cents. Thank you chad for the work you have done in this community I very much appreciate it.
[HTC EVO 3D] twistedumbrella:
I think I just stumbled across a way to fix the entire setup without having to flash anything beyond freeza's zip. All I had to do was call up and switch to Virigin Mobile and now everything is prefect. Thanks everyone.
[HTC EVO 3D] jlechner:
Odd. My wimax was so horrific I didn't even bother turning it on today. It would also, I don't know how to say it, "freeze" out my data, so no calls, text, etc.
[HTC EVO 3D] arqbrulo:
I posted MANY pages back, and have been out. I've just read about 20 pages worth of talk, all good.

I flashed the FW, but everything seemed to work perfectly. No dropped calls, 3G working, can't test 4G in my area.

Freeza, like I said before, this is not your fault at all. I flashed it because I wanted ICS on my phone no matter what.

Chad, thanks for all the work you do around this here.

Question: How do I know if I'm HW001 or HW002? EDIT: Never mind, I found it.

Final though: Those of us with TEP, if things get worse, our phone could always suffer a little "accident" or it could be "misplaced" or "stolen".
[HTC EVO 3D] kittykat858:
could be rfg_1.img helping you out :)

odd - rfg_2 is ALL ZEROS
[HTC EVO 3D] jlechner:
Settings, About phone, hardware

DAMN THAT FILE
[HTC EVO 3D] Paleryder:
Are there any other rooms that this issue can be linked to? How can we tell if our evo is affected?
[HTC EVO 3D] genstukov:
I knew where you were coming from. I saw the bashing on freeza and It's bull****. He gave people what they wanted. Again thank you for helping us. You do more than I could ever think to do. First your kernels and now helping us out. Also thank you for not taking your anger out on the rest of us that respect freeza and the work he has done.

And freeza thank you for releasing the hboot removed update. At the time I wanted it and should of known it might cause problems. I don't blame you for anything. KEEP UP THE GOOD WORK FREEZA!!!!
[HTC EVO 3D] jlechner:
Freeza, I'd do it all again, so long as it comes from you. LOL.
[HTC EVO 3D] ccaudio1:
agreed i was thinking of that too:D
[HTC EVO 3D] poweroutlet:
Not too good of an idea to bad mouth freeza for anyone really, his power level, its over 9000!!
[HTC EVO 3D] arqbrulo:
which one is ALL ZEROS? The virgin rfg_2 or the sprint? Maybe it's meant to delete something Sprint-specific?
[HTC EVO 3D] genstukov:
And actually in his final form his power level is around 1,000,000
[HTC EVO 3D] arqbrulo:
I don't mind this either. It's kinda fun. I'm no dev but I like messing with stuff and breaking my head finding (by searching) a solution.

Oh, and Chad, I agree, you BETTER wake up with well over 6000 thanks for your work.
[HTC EVO 3D] kittykat858:
rfg_2 on both sprint and virgin is all zeros..
[HTC EVO 3D] arqbrulo:
So, what does this mean? That the only thing that changed was the PRI? or are you still breaking your head trying to figure out why the difference?
[HTC EVO 3D] retnuh730:
chad's like a evil genius, a little gibberish here, a little nonsense there. then boom. he's controlling the matrix and we're all slaves to his will.

ALL GLORY TO THE CHAD.GOODMAN
[HTC EVO 3D] unCoRrUpTeD:
This reminds me of a the 2.1 leak we had on the Hero. Everyone's pri and prl were changed and we were showing Verizon as our carrier. All night and all day we were trying to find a solution. That solution has already been tried in here.

Those willing to take a chance on a leaked ROM have no one to blame but themselves if something goes wrong. Luckily I have been working long hours and didn't have time to flash anything.
[HTC EVO 3D] jlechner:
Oh sure....rub it in....lol jk jk
[HTC EVO 3D] troyboytn:
Damn, I remember that! It was that freakin Eris leak.....
[HTC EVO 3D] majid25:
I already lost hope.. put my evo 3d on craigslist, trying to get a new one
[HTC EVO 3D] kittykat858:
was making notes to my self

couldnt use the pc - it was doing updates and stuff

the 2 files of concern:

rfg_1.img <-- im working this right now

rcdata.img <-- this has been resolved with the zip i posted back a few pages.. link is in my signature if u need it

rcdata contains the PRI and radio config info

i have no clue what rfg_1 does - but i know after i flashed everything on my hw002 phone, then pulled it back down to the pc - rfg_1 is still virgin's firmware - not sprints - this this is the LAST file to undo the firmware update freeza posted
[HTC EVO 3D] droiddawg:
No need to lose hope, we already made a huge step in the right direction
[HTC EVO 3D] kittykat858:
nice post for a "development" thread

sorry --- had to...
[HTC EVO 3D] majid25:
Sorry, should've kept that to myself. It's just seeing "you won't be able to go back" in other threads and stuff gets me pissed at myself for flashing the firmware. I do not blame freeza but myself.
[HTC EVO 3D] nerv666999:
Yes, all true and a lesson that hopefully won't be soon forgotten, but the reality also is that certain names when attached to ROMS, MODS, etc. carry weight and it bears remembering that they are just people and so are fallible.

But in this realm being careful usually takes the path of waiting till others more daring take the plunge and sends the experience back to the masses. So wtf? It could have been much worse, so I look at it as a relatively cheap lesson
[HTC EVO 3D] poweroutlet:
Relax man. Chad knows what he is doing. As he said, once he can revert the rfg_1.img file, it should be possible to undo the VM firmware.

---------- Post added at 07:03 AM ---------- Previous post was at 06:59 AM ----------

True, at least the phones function more or less and it looks like it should be reverseable.

Can't wait for my firmware to go back to normal, then I can flash one of the updated ICS roms and use the phone the way it was meant to be lol.

ICS + sense 4.0 skin + Chad's kernel is gonna be insane.
[HTC EVO 3D] Mikee4fun:
Well thank you Chad and flyers for rockin this and trying to find solutions. I personally have no issues on the new firmware and have not only better 3G but also it seems my roaming is better. I am located in the east bay california. Anyways looking forward to your solutions, I only flashed the firmware on one of my EVO 3D so I am not 100% burned but then again, I have zero issues in my area so far. Chad if you need someone to test anything shoot me a PM, I will use my EVO 3D I have flashed the virgin firmware to.

Cheers!

Keep up the good work!
[HTC EVO 3D] droiddawg:
Unfortunately its getting too late here. Time for bed. Good luck Chad, hit the hay soon.
[HTC EVO 3D] notasimpleway:
Let's look at it this way. Our eagerness is causing Chad to become a better dev than he ever imagined. He is gaining bonus XP this weekend. He should be an epic level dev by now. Also, he gains 10 levels in a prestige class called Heroes of XDA.

It is late and being clever doesn't work for me this late.

[HTC EVO 3D] Smac7:
For those of you having sms issues try this. I got rid of my problems this way, or at least i haven't had a problem the whole day after doing this. We'll see if it sticks.

I do not take any responsibility for what happens to your phone. I'm just telling you what I did, and for now, it seemed to solve my sms issues. This actually seems like a pretty safe fix if it does work for other people though.

1. Flash a 2.17 rom (i used boot manager to save time flipping back and forth between roms)

2. flash 2.17 firmware (someone linked it somewhere in this thread)

3. boot back into your 2.17 rom and do a profile and a prl update. (afterwards, make sure you dont forget to remove the pg86.img or whatever its called off of your SD card)

4. flash any Virgin Mobile ics rom and boot into it

5. power down and flash new firmware again

6. boot back to your rom and hopefully your issues are solved.

So far my issues have not came back. Can't say for sure if this definitely solved my problems. Now that i think of it, i'm not sure i ever flashed the 2.17 firmware to begin with. Maybe skipping out on the intermediary firmware is causing problems for some users.
[HTC EVO 3D] jlechner:
chad, good luck man, I'm off to bed. Will check in am.
[HTC EVO 3D] gfullwr70:
Everybody's off to bed I just got home from work flashed the pri PG86IMG.zip so I'm now at .145 updated profile and prl 3g speeds went from barely 200 to 6-700 down and 400 up. Where does this leave us now. Can't test data roaming till tomorrow.
[HTC EVO 3D] majid25:
If the last part that needs to be fixed, got fixed, this would change it to sprint right?
[HTC EVO 3D] ckoadiyn:
Should yes
[HTC EVO 3D] :
So if I revert to stock using your methods and then only flash adsp.img from the new firmware, think I'll have problems?
[HTC EVO 3D] gingson:
I agree with everyone. We are all responsible for what we do to ourselves.

HELP, Chad! :'(
[HTC EVO 3D] :
Relax with the help posts and let Chad take his time...
[HTC EVO 3D] Felnarion:
This thread should be renamed:

"The Great Virgin Mobile Scare of 2012"

And listen, I learned my lesson. lol. I'll even give the fixes a few days to work their way around.
[HTC EVO 3D] gingson:
Just my way of saying good morning. Judging by Chad's posts he pulled an all nighter and he deserves a rest. :cool:
[HTC EVO 3D] Kfunk:
Ahhh what fond memories!
[HTC EVO 3D] gingson:
This is why I am a member. I like doing this. This is my "harmless" fix. Lol.
[HTC EVO 3D] raptoro07:
I'm wondering if there is more to this firmware issue. I'm on synergy b3 and have been since it came out. I flashed the freeza zip and now my banner shows vm, but everything is working fine. Play store shows sprint is carrier to bill to, there are no vm settings in epst, and none of the issues others are talking about. Did the people having issues flash the fw in conjunction with the leaked ROM? Maybe the settings that are causing the issues with calls, text, roam data, etc came from the ROM and stick because of the firmware?
[HTC EVO 3D] kcodya:
Everything's worked great for me since flashing, signal may even be better in some cases. :D
[HTC EVO 3D] raptoro07:
Yeah, this has been my experience also. I even roam 3G.
[HTC EVO 3D] bmark34:
I have to agree. Signal and speed has been better than with 3.0 radios pre-flash
[HTC EVO 3D] jlechner:
Mine was way worse. Plus i was getting errors for every text i sent half the day sat.
[HTC EVO 3D] greeg32:
Can the op be updated with chad's link and any progress that has been made?
[HTC EVO 3D] SITH16:
I flashed Chad's fix from a few pages back and it worked for me too. 1.40 ship Hboot is what I'm on.

Btw, does anyone know where the data network settings are? Roam settings should be in there an I can't find them anywhere.
[HTC EVO 3D] troyboytn:
They were blocked in the original RUU because VM doesnt allow data roaming.
[HTC EVO 3D] Felnarion:
I did it again, I flashed something without allowing it to be thoroughly tested...

HW002, 1.4 S-OFF, works fine. PRI shows updated. I didn't have data problems, but I can confirm it flashes something, at least the numbers changed.
[HTC EVO 3D] SITH16:
Oh yeah, I think I remember seeing that the other day. LOL I forgot...

Only issue I was having with data and Wifi was every once in a while they would show connected but I couldn't get any packet exchange. A reboot would fix it.
[HTC EVO 3D] mikevillarroel:
Where is it SITH16? Cant find it
[HTC EVO 3D] luis4ever:
Chad, do you plan to make a kernel for Newt ICS ROM with the GPU Performance of RLS1 for LEAK?
[HTC EVO 3D] gk1984:
I checked my pri before and after flashing this. I noticed it was 144 before chad's fix but afterwards it displays 145
[HTC EVO 3D] droiddawg:
You're fine. There is no way to downgrade pri. So, took an old sprint one, hex edit the version and bam, good to go.
[HTC EVO 3D] mikevillarroel:
So that fix its only cosmetic right?
[HTC EVO 3D] evo bryan:
try not to go past 3 on this
[HTC EVO 3D] droiddawg:
I believe Chad took the 2.17 pri which was version 1.42 and hex edited the version number to be _001 higher than the virgin mobile one to overwrite it.
[HTC EVO 3D] SITH16:
http://xdaforums.com/showpost.php?p=25768034&postcount=387

And you can call me SITH. :p:D
[HTC EVO 3D] Will32:
The fix is not just cosmetic. After flashing it you'll be on sprints pri and not VM. Also I'm able to download sprint apps from the market with the fix, I couldn't with the VM firmware before the fix.
[HTC EVO 3D] SITH16:
I was wondering this myself, though I wasn't haven't many issues before hand. Just one.
[HTC EVO 3D] mikevillarroel:
Thanks!

lol that was a copy and paste thing!

I just found out that, Thanks, now I just need to get rid of the Virgin Mobile banner ..........
[HTC EVO 3D] SITH16:
That's coming. Newtoroot is working on a Ones S port using some of the RUU that was leaked and he is saying the branding is correct. It should drop either today or tomorrow. In the mean time, I'm testing Myn's ICS that he posted yesterday.
[HTC EVO 3D] mikevillarroel:
Did you flashed it yet? myn said something about rebranding.

About Newtoroot port, if we flash it and the go back to whatever rom we were using that diabolic banner should be replaced ...right?
[HTC EVO 3D] raptoro07:
Why not? Chad said his was 0. What is wrong with going past 3?
[HTC EVO 3D] genstukov:
I don't think so. Newt's port should just look right. It doesn't change the files that were flashed causing the vm banner.
[HTC EVO 3D] droiddawg:
Technically no. There is another .img needing to be flash but unfortunately Chad couldn't find the partition to flash the rfg_1 file.
[HTC EVO 3D] twcrosno:
Hey guys, I just wanted to say thanks to everyone here for getting involved and trying to get us past this VM issue. I myself did the VM and I have not had too many issue other than 3G being very slow. I am S-off and 1.40 I did the latest udate and I am back to 1.53_145 but I still have VM above the clock and operator name is still VM. Plus, when I try to launch Sprint NBA I get the message that I have a non-Sprint phone. So, am I really on the Sprint network now?
[HTC EVO 3D] BusterChestnut:
Just though i'd mention, could have a typo, or maybe I'm retarded? after updating my pri goes from 1_53_144 to 1_153_145....the x_153_xxx doesn't change to x_154_xxx but it obviously flashed it as the last set of digits did change to x_xxx_145

Thanks for all your hard work Chad.....
[HTC EVO 3D] k2buckley:
It's supposed to be 153. Chad hex edited the name of the file to be 154 just so it would flash. It has to be a newer file (bigger number) because it can only upgrade so he edited it to basically trick hboot into flashing the file. At least that's how I understood it.
[HTC EVO 3D] Genesis Nova:
The VM PRI was 1_53_144, not 1_53_143. Chad's zip (if it worked) downgraded us to a edited 1_53_145
[HTC EVO 3D] Visionikz03:
my nba app works fine... that's what is confusing... some ppl cant access some sprint apps or call *2. All of my sprint related stuff works fine. Im on Hboot 1.4 s-off. I did revert to freeza's old fm for the 2.17 base so im on pri 142_003 and radio 1.06.00.1216 but no problems here... everything works. Only visible remnants of Virgin is the active call screen but the lockscreen and status bar can be changed with latest leedroid tweaks.
[HTC EVO 3D] k2buckley:
Who said anything about 143?
[HTC EVO 3D] SITH16:
Myn's still have the virgin mobile branding. Just finished flashing it.
[HTC EVO 3D] twcrosno:
Would you suggest me flashing 2.17? Since I flashed the VM and after the changed back to 145 I have been able to *2 and get to Sprint.
[HTC EVO 3D] Visionikz03:
If u feel comfortable, roll-back your fm to the 2.17 version thru bootloader since its been confirmed ICS does not need this demonic Virgin Mobile fm upgrade to work properly. Then I would reflash watever rom u r currently running and then do a ##786# reset once the rom is booted just to be sure the network associates your phone with the new fm u flashed. This is the same steps i took. That way you will be on a true Sprint radio and pri etc. That should solve your slow 3g issues assuming u have good signal and it should fix your nba app not recognizing your sprint phone. U r hboot 1.4 and s-off just like me so it shouldn't be any different "in theory" of course. But this will not remove the Virgin Mobile banner since that file cannot be removed currently... but at least ur phone will function properly.
[HTC EVO 3D] chrisfales:
I've been running VM radio with updated 145 pri and seemed ok until this morning. Lost data and couldn't get it back. I have since flashed back to 2.17 with 145 pri and so far so good. Who the hell knows??? LOL Even with all this crap, I know if i had to do it all over again, I'd flash the next damn update too. Walking the cutting edge of development, you get cut occasionally. Keep doing what you do DEVS and you have an idiot like me who will flash it.
[HTC EVO 3D] ycats:
can someone post a link to the 2.17 fm?
[HTC EVO 3D] forceOnature:
I am trying to flash Chad's fix but can't because the bootloader checks for a PG86IMG.zip and never finds it. The file is saved on the sdcard root. What am I doing wrong?
[HTC EVO 3D] twcrosno:
So Vision, is that just placing the freeza 2.17 PG86IMG.zip on the root of my SD card and running it from the bootloader? Sorry to sound like a newbie, I just want to be completely clear so I do not make anything worse. And thanks for listening and helping out.
[HTC EVO 3D] chrisfales:
Vision,

does the ##data# reset method do the same as a ##786# (minus the erasing of all data)?
[HTC EVO 3D] twcrosno:
Here ya go http://xdaforums.com/showpost.php?p=21374142&postcount=131
[HTC EVO 3D] Visionikz03:
yes place freeza's PG86IMG.zip on the root of ur sd card and flash thru bootloader.

Yes but i just like to start with a clean slate for extra assurance.
[HTC EVO 3D] raptoro07:
Bryan, why shouldn't we go past 3?

You need to make sure it is named correctly. PG86IMG.zip

Commonly people will rename it PG86IMG.zip.zip
