Re: [FIRMWARE][S-OFF/1.12 HBOOT] Jewel Firmware Collection - Latest Radio: 1.12.11.12

Thank you! That's what I needed to know. I was not about to do this without making sure I was okay to do it.
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] Sloth:
Just make sure you read post 1 in the OP before you flash
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] Captain_Throwback:
Yes, it needs to be named PJ75IMG.zip. So just delete everything after that in the filename, and before the .zip extension (if it shows).

Ah, I've been checking from my PC. Not sure what the issue is from mobile.

I have!
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] Icculus574:
The only file that seems to actually be linked on his download page is the full firmware update that includes:

I've read the first post, a good deal of this thread, and the FAQ. But before I do this, I was wondering if someone could answer a couple questions.

1. I'm currently on the previous version for everything and originally S-OFF'd using dirtyracun on hboot 2.09. Has anybody who used this method done this yet? Is it safe to do? I've seen a number of people throughout this thread reporting bricks/successes, but I didn't come across anybody who used the same method/version as me.

2. I assume that using the full firmware leaves your phone in S-OFF, but I want to get confirmation on this seemingly stupid question before going ahead.
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] xHausx:
It's unlikely, but if the device is switched back to S-ON with a custom hboot installed it definitely would softbrick it. Thing is, if htc were to do it on purpose it would likely brick any test devices that use the eng hboot.
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] formulabird:
2.09.2222 or what ever the s-off one is
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] rawintellect:
Re: [FIRMWARE][S-OFF/1.12 HBOOT] Jewel Firmware Collection - Latest Radio: 1.12.11.12

I used the same method to s-off that you did. I also documented exactly what I did to update to the latest firmware. Please search this thread for it.
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] AarSyl:
Re: [FIRMWARE][S-OFF/1.12 HBOOT] Jewel Firmware Collection - Latest Radio: 1.12.11.12

I've been searching for an answer, but can someone please tell me the true purpose of HBoot? I only see it as an inconvenience and an interference.

[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] Captain_Throwback:
That's because there isn't a link for a recovery-flashable version. Full firmware only.

Okay. Full firmware zip is s-off right..?Should my phone be okay on the new base but the old radios until that .zip is released? Btw, is there an ETA as to when that would be released? Thanks a bunch.
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] Captain_Throwback:
That zip is not likely to be released. So you should either S-OFF to update fully or go the OTA route.
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] stanglifemike:
Re: [FIRMWARE][S-OFF/1.12 HBOOT] Jewel Firmware Collection - Latest Radio: 1.12.11.12

Just go ahead and achieve s-off while you still can, before HTC tries to make some changes to stop that exploit. You'll be very happy you did and it will make your Evo LTE experience MUCH easier and much more enjoyable!!
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] rickyb316:
Re: [FIRMWARE][S-OFF/1.12 HBOOT] Jewel Firmware Collection - Latest Radio: 1.12.11.12

My issue is I'm not too experienced when it comes to this phone and in general with unlocking/rooting. On 1.12 s-on I've been able to do everything for the most part without any issue. But now with this .zip not being released I guess I have to do some research and possibly go the s-off route. Should I have any issues from updating from hboot1.12? I've read up on it before and I was completely lost..:confused:

[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] scottspa74:
Re: [FIRMWARE][S-OFF/1.12 HBOOT] Jewel Firmware Collection - Latest Radio: 1.12.11.12

Read the instructions at unlimited.io. The will tell you to run a ruu, I believe. Which radios do you have? I believe their instruction will tell you to run the ruu that has the next consecutive radios from what you have currently. With the radio, look at the last 4 digits, they represent month and day.

1119 for example is Nov 19th.

From my Evo LTE, yup.
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] mrrogers1:
Re: [FIRMWARE][S-OFF/1.12 HBOOT] Jewel Firmware Collection - Latest Radio: 1.12.11.12

I actually just did another Racun last night coming from 1.12 hboot. You simply have to fastboot flash either the 1.15 or 1.19 RUU (I recommend the 1.19 since you'll only have to run the 1 firmware update after you are all finished) as the 2.09 can't be ran coming from 1.12 hboot. Go through the process and then update the firmware when completed.

As Scott began his post, READ THE INSTRUCTIONS (They are clear and all there) 3 TIMES and make sure you understand before proceeding. It's quite an easy and stable s-off process but you need to make sure you follow instructions.

[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] teamrealtree:
Re: [FIRMWARE][S-OFF/1.12 HBOOT] Jewel Firmware Collection - Latest Radio: 1.12.11.12

When I updated the radios for .1119 I'm pretty sure that I only did a radio zip not the full firmware. Could that be a cause for some people bricking their devices? I have yet to try the latest.
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] Captain_Throwback:
Yes, it could. That's why I'm considering this.
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] DNarsingh:
I support this decision 100%. There are too many people flashing things they have no clue about and are ending up bricked. A simple read of the OP explains everything and yet we still have a handful of bricks everyday. At least this way, people who do know what they are doing can still go into the zip and take out what they don't want (for what ever reason that may be).
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] sgt. slaughter:
Re: [FIRMWARE][S-OFF/1.12 HBOOT] Jewel Firmware Collection - Latest Radio: 1.12.11.12

I'd remove every piece meal zip except for the no hboot ones.... Ppl have no business flashing radio only like before.... Those that want radio only should know enough to remove said files from the zip if they want to flash pieces...
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] jpkotor:
Based on this post linked in the instructions, I thought that to upgrade to 3.16.651.3 firmware you must first have at least the "1.12.11.1119 baseband (aka radio)", not the entire 3.15.651.16 firmware package. I tried to use the bootloader-flashable for 3.15.651.16 anyway but it didn't work (I was doing it correctly). So I downloaded the only recovery-flashable 3.15.651.16 zip which was radio only.

Once I upgraded the radio to 1.12.11.1119 I then downloaded the 3.16.651.3 full firmware zip (bootloader-flashable) and installed via bootloader. Upgrade went successfully. My phone is not "bricked" (which I thought means unable to boot, so correct me if my problem counts as "bricked") and I can confirm radio 1.12.11.1210 and PRI 2.97_003, PRL 25012. But I skipped from PRI 2.45_003 to 2.97_003 without first going to 2.87_003 since my 3.15 firmware upgrade was radio only.

While it's not bricked, though, I haven't had voice service all day. My data works but I can't make or receive phone calls and texts. In Sprint Zone my phone fails the voice test and passes the data test. I have tried reinstalling the 3.16.651.3 full firmware package in bootloader, and reflashed my ROM with fresh wipes multiple times (MeanBean 3.0) including restoring my Nand of MeanRom ICS...

There is always the possibility that Sprint is down in my area (Philadelphia), but my data works... wondering if anyone else encountered loss of voice since upgrading firmware...

I'm reading now you guys are talking about not doing the radio only for 3.15 first then full 3.16. The link I posted above makes it a bit ambiguous (post linked in OP). I'm by no means stupid with this stuff but I'm hardly pro, so reading "aka radio" and only specifying to check radio in that link made it seem like radio was the only pertinent thing to upgrade in a stepwise fashion, rather than skipping over. So am I having the issues you guys are describing have been happening... and is my phone no longer a phone now but a glorified ipod touch?

Edit: Btw I'm DirtyRacun'd S-off on Hboot 1.19.2222.

Edit 2: Anyone have an opinion about attempting to downgrade PRI to 2.87 (the 3.15 firmware) using the PRI only bootloader-flashable, then upgrading again to 2.97 (the 3.16 firmware)? Since that's the only thing that got skipped over. I know the OP says downgrading can brick, does that mean for radio or any part of the firmware...?

Edit 3: For what it's worth my voice works (calls and texts) when connected to my airwave thing in my apt (they sent me one a while back because of my constant complaining about poor reception in my apartment in the middle of Philly... sh!*T* Sprint).

Edit 4: Spoke with whoever answered when I tried to make phone calls, some network security issue. "Error 16", I had googled it and decided to proceed to work it out with whoever was on the other end (wasn't Sprint, but he was able to reset my phone...). Looks like skipping a full 3.15 firmware didn't damage anything but my phone fell into some kind of security limbo.

Sorry if it has been stated and I'd just like confirmation.

I'm on RADIOS ONLY with 3.15, soff, hboot 1.19. To update I need to:

1) Flash full firmware 3.15

2) Flash full firmware 3.16

3) Flash TWRP?? (because full firmware reverts recovery back to stock? Right??? )

4) Flash whatever rom and profit?

Re: [FIRMWARE][S-OFF/1.12 HBOOT] Jewel Firmware Collection - Latest Radio: 1.12.11.12

It doesn't matter what ROM your on. It does matter tho if you flashed the jeelybean update 3.15 a few months ago. If not you'll have to flash that first
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] Sloth:
1- yes AFAIK maybe someone else can correct me if that will cause a problem

2- yes

3- you don't need to flash twrp because firmware is flashed thru the bootloader not recovery

rename the files PJ75IMG/

put them on your ext sdcard one at a time

/boot into bootloader it will ask you if you want to update follow the instructions on how to do so

once you boot back into your rom delete the file or it will ask you to update everytime you go into bootloader and if it's an older version you will have problems SO MAKE SURE YOU DELETE after each flash

Don't you think this is a bit of a broad question? I see nothing that needs further clarification. If you don't understand something, read around and research until you do. Until then, don't flash anything if you're unsure of what you're doing.

Here's what I did

I was s-off Lazy Panda Hboot 1.12.2222 PRL 25012 PRI 2.87_003 Baseband 1.12.11.1119

I had already updated to Firmware 3.15 Radios ONLY when JB came out

I was worried that I was missing pieces because I had not done the full firmware

I went back and installed the 3.15 FULL firmware from Captain and let it book back up then went back downloaded the FULL firmware 3.16 from Captain and upgraded that and PROFIT! Everything is updated and fine
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] mrrogers1:
Re: [FIRMWARE][S-OFF/1.12 HBOOT] Jewel Firmware Collection - Latest Radio: 1.12.11.12

That is the correct way to do it FOR ANYONE not sure of if they have the full correct firmware in place. Flashing over your existing is just fine, updating out of order and trying to downgrade are sure bricking methods.

*Out of curiosity, why did you ONLY do the radio for the 3.15 release back when we got it? I know the 1.12 s-on people only had that option but I struggle to understand why s-off users would do it.

[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] teamrealtree:
Re: [FIRMWARE][S-OFF/1.12 HBOOT] Jewel Firmware Collection - Latest Radio: 1.12.11.12

When I first did it I kept reading to do only the radios because the full had stuff we didn't want in it. That's the only reason I did it like that
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] mrrogers1:
Re: [FIRMWARE][S-OFF/1.12 HBOOT] Jewel Firmware Collection - Latest Radio: 1.12.11.12

Fair enough. :) The "bad stuff" would have been the hboot and recovery which were easily replaceable (and were removed by Captain_Throwback IIRC) since s-off trumps all other parameters. Hboot 1.12 s-on users were between a rock and a hard place and IMHO should have gained s-off before half way flashing firmware packages.

Captain_Throwback and others who regularly provide these packages to us are watching closely and will certainly change how they offer them up. They have always been responsible enough to warn, warn and warn again that you can really Bork your device by using them BUT at the same time, giving people who are (AND those that aren't) versed at this stuff the tools to get around doing it "right". Kind of sucks because (Captain et al have) nothing but good intentions and provide (in the spirit of sharing) these for us. It's a shame (and unfortunate) that people don't read, don't fully understand and then screw up their devices.

The software is getting evermore specific and exacting with how it is being used and applied so I'm sure we'll see the same attention paid to how the firmware packages are provided. I just hope Captain_Throwback doesn't stop doing it for us, that would be disappointing.

THE TRUTH ABOUT ASSAULT WEAPONS
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] AndrasLOHF:
Please excuse my noobness here. I'm rooted and s-off(just did it an hour ago). I used the RUU 3.15.651.16 - HBOOT 2.09 file mention on the team unlimited page as I had taken all the stock OTA updates with the exception of the one last week. I rooted the first week of January. After s-off I have H-Boot 2.09.4444, baseband 1.12.11.1119, PRI 2.87_003, PRL 25002, software version 3.16.651.3 710 RD, build number 3.16.651.3. I'm running MeanBean 3.0 as my ROM. After a day or so of reading up I still can't really make heads or tails of what files and process I need to do to update my radios. I think I'm having information overload or something after a failed attempt of trying to s-off using Ubuntu(never used it before) and figuring out the DirtyRacun process lol. Would anyone be willing be provide some assistance? This is my first rodeo on this sort of thing. Thanks

You are 100% up to date on every prerequisite to upgrade your firmware. Read the OP and proceed to flash the new full firmware package as provided by Captain_Throwback.

[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] huckyourmeat:
Count me as one of the idiots who has bricked their phone due to only flashing the radios for 3.15. Rushed this one a little bit and should've read deeper. I'm guessing I'm screwed and need to visit the Sprint store?
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] mrrogers1:
Re: [FIRMWARE][S-OFF/1.12 HBOOT] Jewel Firmware Collection - Latest Radio: 1.12.11.12

Off to the Sprint store you go. Sorry bud

Captain_Throwback, maybe add a new prerequisite in the OP to REQUIRE flashing the full firmware package (located in your download thread) of the baseband/radio you have currently, then moving on to the new one?

THE TRUTH ABOUT ASSAULT WEAPONS
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] huckyourmeat:
Thanks for the reply. I take full responsibility here, but if Captain_Throwback could add that prereq, it might prevent the same thing from happening to someone else.

Again, I'm not blaming anyone but myself here. Just had a brainfart and didn't take the time (I usually do) to read through the last few pages of posts before flashing. Had I done that, I would've realized that I was about to make a big mistake.
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] AndrasLOHF:
Thank you. I flashed it via bootloader and it went off without a hitch. Baseband has been updated to 1.12.11.1210 =)
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] Captain_Throwback:
The first thing it says in the OP here, and before you even get to the 3.16 firmware download, in big red letters is:

In order to successfully upgrade to the 3.16 firmware, you MUST FIRST upgrade to the 3.15 firmware! Otherwise you will BRICK your device!!

I don't know how much clearer I can make it. I'm really getting tired of this.
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] huckyourmeat:
Completely understand. I just didn't think about the fact that I had only updated radios instead of the full firmware. I checked baseband and it showed that it was 1119. I was an idiot and didn't realize the difference between radios and firmware.

I'm not trying to lay blame anywhere, just thought I'd try to prevent others from making my same dumb mistake. I totally understand if you don't want to change the OP.

Thanks again.
