You need to un-root and relock before you download. I have read elsewhere that it will download, but not install. I have not un rooted / relocked myself so I don't know what that will entail, but it is a required step to install the official release.

Hope that answered your question.
[HTC EVO 3D] jcorcione:
Well that sucks!:(
[HTC EVO 3D] Bdozier:
Seems a little tedious, I know! There are a lot of great DEVs on this site and I am thinking I might not download it at all and let the DEVs do their magic and use their ROMs based on the official code. Seems like a good idea any way...
[HTC EVO 3D] P_M_G:
Come on guys...NEVER TAKE THE OTA IF YOU ARE ROOTED.

There's no point to it as every DEV will (likely) update their ROMs with this. There is no point to going through a relock-unroot-OTA-unlock-flash custom ROM....you still may have kernel issues, you still aren't fully "unlocked".

Just be patient. Mikey said he'd update this once the official ICS dropped for us so give him a chance to unravel it and Meanify it.
[HTC EVO 3D] NineInchNails:
This is XDA. This place doesn't know what stock is... Why would you want stock with all the great custom Roms available to you here?

Running to a stock update right away from your favorite Rom is almost a slap in the face to a dev don't ya think? Already the new radio is available to flash and possibly the firmware but I'm iffy on that yet. The parts we needed from this we've had for months. There's nothing really new to grab from it except WiFi drivers perhaps.
[HTC EVO 3D] jcorcione:
I get it guys... My only thing is I like the ROM to have the Sprint feel to it with out all the bloatware so I have a choice on whether or not I want what ever sprint apk I want, native or otherwise. Also I have noticed with the ICS Leaked ROMS (MikVirgin, ZR3DX to name a few) I am having issues the MS exchange or OWA settings there are some security incompatibilities ((my company has us on lock down)) I am running into so I am forced to use a Third party app (moxier mail) for my work email. I like the integration of my exchange contact and calendar to be integrated on my 3EVO. Anyways that's my 2 cents. Sorry to take this Off topic.

MEANROM ICS 2.4
[HTC EVO 3D] mikeyxda:
Not a whole lot, but there are some Sprint "extras" that the VM version didn't have. I'm going through all those this afternoon: looking good for a release late tonight. When looking at the changes in important files like the framework files, Settings, and SystemUI, the changes look mostly minor. Reminds me of the second VM base when that came out. Remember there was the leak and then the update to the leak? Kinda like that. In fact, a few files like SystemUI and Rosie are identical when decompiled and diffed which makes my job easier since I have some mods in those files. Otherwise minor changes plus Sprint icing. Yes a new kernel but I don't know how it differs because no source. It's basically done now but gotta wait until later to fully test it, update all the core apps via the Play Store and bake those in, test out the tweaks, etc.

[HTC EVO 3D] greeg32:
I have high hopes for the new kernel. It felt different for the 5 minutes I was running the ota :)

Mike, in preparation of what you have cooking in the oven will the 2.17 firmware work fine or should we update to newest stock firmware? I kind of like having HBoot 1.4 and not having to upgrade to 1.58 unless it is necessary. Us Meanies really appreciate all the work you put into your ROMs. Thanks.
[HTC EVO 3D] a5ehren:
You can use Freeza's FW package to update everything besides HBOOT, Recovery, and the kernel. It'll get you all the new radio bits.

I don't think we will be able to flash the new rom without going back and updating to the new Sprint 2.89 Firmware. This may be a good opportunity to go S-off and be done with it.

I am not thrilled about the wire trick as well. I have rooted many devices, and have never had to do a wire trick. I am waiting to see reviews of the new kernel to see if I want to go through the trouble of updating, since I am happy with MR 2.4 ICS.

BTW, my wife just picked up a GS3 and it is nice.
[HTC EVO 3D] mpgrimm2:
I get the impression from elsewhere that Because of the new kernel changes (like in latest Antrx) that the new firmware & radio files will be needed. I have see some post mention that the new hboot 1.58 was needed also but I am not sure about why that would be. If u are s-Off & use one of the devs update packs (not the ota) that left the new hboot in, you will still have s-Off.

This is it. I'm currently running MeanROM ICS 2.4 (since release) on stock kernel after doing the Unknownforce brick downgrade method.

I just downloaded the file linked in the updated OP, moved it to the root of my SD card, rebooted to bootloader, applied update, rebooted, deleted image, profiting.
[HTC EVO 3D] grindnmosh:
If your S-Off and you go to the 1.58 HBoot your still S-Off. There are people already running on the new Base on other forums and the repeating factor is without 1.58 S-Off there are repeating and common issues. I am playing with it tonight and gonna run ENG HBoot 1.4 HBoot and 1.58 HBoot and see for myself if there is a difference. I have a tester 3D I am going to try it on and the apply accordingly to my Daily 3D.
[HTC EVO 3D] bso44:
Looking forward to your findings.
[HTC EVO 3D] dimebagdan65:
A tutorial would be awesome!
[HTC EVO 3D] mikeyxda:
I can tell you that the new kernel will not boot on 1.4 s-off! Right now I have two versions of MeanROM ICS 2.5 and I'm not sure which way to go at the moment:

(1) I have one version that has everything updated to the 2.89 base except the kernel. That will flash and everything (including bluetooth) works under all setups. The down side is that with the kernel being the old 2.17 kernel, it's sort of a hybrid and not 100% 2.89 base. And I don't know exactly what (if anything) the newer 2.89 kernel gives us (other than the hboot headaches). No way to know that without source.

(2) I have another version that has everything updated to the 2.89 base including the kernel. This one will not boot unless you're on the new 1.58 hboot with s-off.

Obviously if I go with option 1, everyone will be able to update to the latest base, but it's really a "hybrid" 2.89 where you're running 2.89 but with the 2.17 kernel. If I go with option 2, we get a "clean" 2.89 base that is truly 100% 2.89 but it's going to be a lot harder for the less tech-savvy to update. Not sure which path to take at this point and I'm beginning to wonder if it's better to wait another day to see what gets flushed out of the 2.89 base. I suspect a method will arise that will allow us to run it without having to change hboots. Hmm.....

Also, in looking at the kernel modules, it looks like it's possible that very little of any substance changed in the kernel so we may be cutting our nose off to spite our face if all the new (2.89) kernel gives us is headaches and I suspect those are caused by code related to using signed kernels so it may be nothing more than security crap and no real useful stuff in the kernel. But that's just a guess.

Mike
[HTC EVO 3D] :
All people have to do is flash the firmware zip Virus has in his thread. That updates all necessary firmware files, and hboot. It's linked in his thread. You have to be S off to flash though cause it is a bootloader flash.

He has the instructions in his OP as well so no point for me to detail it in this post.
[HTC EVO 3D] ramjet73:
I'm in favor of waiting at least another day. Perhaps grindnmosh's testing will give us some insight into what the 1.58 bootloader requirement really is.

Just curious how you tested with the 1.58 bootloader. Did you just flash the bootloader or the other firmware pieces as well? I've already flashed the 1.58 bootloader and it doesn't seem to affect my ability to install other ROM's, and I can always switch back to another bootloader if necessary. OTOH, I'm not sure flashing all the Sprint ICS firmware is reversible, so I want to make sure it doesn't affect anything else before doing that.

Thanks for your efforts in getting the E3D users upgraded to the official ICS build!

ramjet73
[HTC EVO 3D] mikeyxda:
Right. And I can confirm it does work. Now, the issue is: do I want to limit this ROM to people who are brave enough to stick wires in the back of their phone to get s-off... or use the old kernel which allows people who have been happily running MeanROM ICS 2.4 with just the HTC unlock method to continue without s-off? Seems to me that I've just cut my audience by quite a bit by putting that limitation on people... before we even know if there is any benefit at all to the 2.89 kernel over the 2.17 we were using in MR 2.4.

Mike
[HTC EVO 3D] cdridge:
You could post both versions. But I know that it would lend itself to issues where some folks could/would flash the incorrect version for their phone and of course the hassle of supporting two versions of then ROM. Do what you think is best, you got my support either way.

[HTC EVO 3D] ramjet73:
If there was a .zip in the MeanROM ICS folder to flash the VM leak stock kernel, anyone who needs that could flash it right after they flash the ROM. That kernel is not going change so it would be one time effort to create it from the current MeanROM ICS 2.4 zip.

They could also flash brand x kernel if they want to OC/UV.

Just a thought.

[HTC EVO 3D] sarcoptic:
Well honestly the more people find out the "other" kernel is out the more people will go that route. What about releasing the hybrid with the 2.17 kernel and then throw up a flash able stock kernel for those running 1.58 hboot. This would be like the best of both worlds.
[HTC EVO 3D] Adanedhels:
Ok...

Mike

I am totally in favor of releasing two versions or giving a flashback script for those that haven't done the wire trick. I was initially hesitant to try the wire trick, but after having done it, this is one easy thing to do and if you follow the directions you really can't go wrong.

Regardless I flashed Virus's firmware and HBoot 1.58 and hey it works fine with the current version of MeanROM. As long as you have a recent backup 4Ex will walk you through fixing anything that might have gotten messed up.

If you have a beta test version of the release you are working on I would be willing to try it out.

I love your work.

Thanks for giving your all,

[HTC EVO 3D] EvilNinjakat:
Can you do both with the disclaimer to people that they need the new hboot. I have it and would love to have a 100% stock base with all ur awesomeness :drool:
[HTC EVO 3D] mikeyxda:
Uploading soon. I decided to go with the new 2.89 with the old kernel baked in since that boots for everyone. Then there's a 2.89 kernel flash in the MeanROM-ICS folder for those of you who have 1.58 hboot.

Mike
[HTC EVO 3D] ramjet73:
Don't get too excited. :)

If you are running MeanROM ICS 2.4 successfully with hboot 1.50 S-ON, you should be able to run the updated Sprint version if Mike a) uses the stock kernel from the VM leak by default or b) includes a .zip file in the MeanROM-ICS folder on the SD card to flash that kernel. That's no different than him providing the stock kernel flash .zip for the MeanROM GB version when he was baking the custom kernels into that ROM for OC/UV.

If you can't run the stock kernel in MeanROM ICS 2.4 with hboot 1.50 S-ON then you may have to gain S-OFF by one of the two methods, but that's old news already.

What we don't know yet is what would happen if you relock the bootloader, flash a stock RUU, take the Sprint ICS OTA then HTC unlock and root. There's a good chance that you could run the Sprint ICS release even if you couldn't run the stock VM leak kernel, since that would give you updated firmware as an S-ON user, but I don't know of anyone that's confirmed that yet.

ramjet73
[HTC EVO 3D] Adanedhels:
Seriously man chill out. I don't see anything good coming out of holding back the ROM for the sake of a few people who don't want or can't manage to swing s-off. I managed to swing s-off while running MeanRom. Don't get me wrong it's not easy but you can do it if you try enough times.

If you aren't comfortable upgrading to the next step because it gets to complicated for you don't! I don't think its fair to expect Mikey to work

his rear off so it's 'easy' for you.
[HTC EVO 3D] ramjet73:
Good choice!

That's definitely the safest alternative. I'm still not clear whether the kernel that comes with 2.89 requires all the current firmware or only the bootloader, but I'm on hboot 1.58 with the 2.17 firmware so I'll try flashing the new kernel and see what happens.

ramjet73
[HTC EVO 3D] guycan:

[HTC EVO 3D] GrndSers-Rcng:
Are you 1.58 hboot s-off meaning that you can flash anything without running into problems? Like having the JB hboot?
[HTC EVO 3D] Adanedhels:
Ramjet

I've heard if you are using the new kernel/firmware people are running into problems if they don't match Hboot 1.58 as well.

If someone has a link to someone describing the problems that might be good for people who are wondering what people are talking about.

As is that's the undercurrent I've read but its all second hand I haven't run into a direct issue listed by someone has been directly affected. I feel like Ahab talking about a giant white whale having no links to point to...

Adan
[HTC EVO 3D] mikeyxda:
2.5 is served. Just read the OP for details. It installs as full 2.89 base except for the kernel which is 2.17 out of the box: works for everyone. If you want to be 100% 2.89, just upgrade your hboot to 1.58 and then flash the included 2.89 kernel. So you've got both options. Personally, I don't see any difference in the two kernels except the 2.89 kernel requires the 1.58 hboot. Some people are reporting better bluetooth connection but who knows. Probably needs more time out on the track for people to really know.

Either way you run it, enjoy.
