TWRP 2.18, HTC DEV UNLOCKED, Lazy Panda S-OFF, Stock ROM w/ Goodies 1.5

Trying to update the radios but I'm getting an error. I'm trying to flash "Full Firmware zip from 1.22.651.3 OTA" in TWRP but keep getting an error. am I trying to flash the wrong file? Should I flash "Radio 1.05.11.0606" instead? I would like to update the whole firmware (radios, PRI...) not just the radio. First time flashing radios, please help.
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] DNarsingh:
That file is to be flashed through the bootloader, not recovery.
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] Univsoldur:
TWRP 2.18, HTC DEV UNLOCKED,

Radio 1.05.11.0606

keep trying to flash in recovery and it just says failed before it does anything
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] Captain_Throwback:
And you're sure you're flashing the correct file? Not the one that starts with "PJ75IMG", right?

You don't have the newest HBOOT (1.15), do you?
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] Univsoldur:
See this was new to me cause i was used to flashing this stuff in the bootloader

PJ75IMG_Jewel_Radio_1.05.11.0606 is the file i was flashing in recovery

my current hboot is 1.12 and i rooted using this method RegawMOD
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] Captain_Throwback:
That's the wrong file. If it says PJ75IMG in the filename, it's a bootloader flashable. You need the other file.
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] flyhighx:
Got it now. Thanks. In case there are any other ignorant noobs like me, here's what I didn't understand:

-Flashing from Recovery and Bootloader are two totally different things (seems so obvious now, duh! palm meets head). Also they flash in different ways. Bootloader flashes just by having the PJ75IMG.zip in the SD card root and choosing to run the bootloader.

-Which is why the firmware must be renamed PJ75IMG.zip, also a step that I first neglected.

-When flashing from TWRP, it default searches for files in the SD Card (which is actually the internal memory in the EVO LTE and also where I had the PJ75IMG.zip). Flashing from boatloader requires the PJ75IMG.zip to be in the actual external SD card where I eventually moved it too.

Like I said this is pretty obvious stuff for most, but eluded me as a first time radio flasher.

[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] pimpol10:
I currently have a custom rom installed and the newest radio flashed. Should I flash the new firmware? What are the benefits? Thanks
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] TorxT3D:
not impressed with this radio/pri/prl update.

all my calls no matter where im at sound like crap, and almost indecipherable

sometimes i have to hang up and call back over and over again

call quality sounds like piss

i want my old radio back but wanna keep the new 1.22 roms

i like bleeding edge but i want chit to work!! :p
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] Univsoldur:
after flashing the new radio update I dont know if its chance but these 3g speeds are the worst thing ive ever seen. Its taken me 10 minutes to download a 3mb file
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] Univsoldur:
update flashed the older radio and i have good 3g speeds again
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] P.Mobile:
is there a zip that we can flash if we want to go back to the old base 1.13 a zip with the old firmwear and radio???
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] Univsoldur:
you can follow the ops links in his sig to get the old radio back

[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] kevg77:
problem with wording in the download section?

I wanted to update my radio so I followed the link in this post. I am htc dev unlocked only no s-off

The Note below says that that all of these are bootloader only because they are PJ75IMG.zips except Full Firmware zip from 1.22.651.3 OTA

which also says it has to be bootloader only. Am I missing something? How can I flash a radio with s-on if they all require s-off?

http://themikmik.com/showthread.php...dio-Collection&p=220556&viewfull=1#post220556

---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

NOTE: If the link is for a PJ75IMG.zip, it is to be flashed in the BOOTLOADER (HBOOT) only. All other links are to be flashed in Recovery.

Full Firmware zip from 1.22.651.3 OTA (Bootloader Flashable ONLY) | Mirror 1 | Mirror 2 (Thanks to david279 @ XDA)- includes Radio 1.05.11.0606, PRI 2.45_003

Radio 1.05.11.0606 - Mirror (from official 1.22.651.3 OTA) | PJ75IMG.zip - Mirror - LATEST

Radio 1.02.12.0427 (from leaked 1.13.651.1 ROM) | PJ75IMG.zip

Radio 1.02.11.0423_2 (from leaked 1.12.651.2 ROM) | PJ75IMG.zip
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] ckoadiyn:
The part that says radio 1.05 is recovery flashable and is just radio no pri or anything the other part that's a link is bootloader only
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] .Gibson.:
Captain, is there a download to go back to the original firmware? I only see the old radios posted.

Sent from my LTEvo
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] Captain_Throwback:
No, there isn't. The original PRI doesn't seem to exist in any ROM that's been leaked. So no way to downgrade that.
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] bog3nator:
still no news on if we will be able to flash the PRI being s-on?
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] Captain_Throwback:
I checked every device partition and couldn't find it, so it looks to be a no on that :rolleyes:.
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] bog3nator:
alrighty then haha, well atleast i updated the radio. and with the new base and updated radio i am getting a more solid connection and seems to be faster connection as well. i read what the PRI does and it doesnt look very major.
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] TorxT3D:
i cant use this radio/pri/prl set anymore..

my calls are borked from alot of locations around mem, whereas before i flashed i was getting great signal.

any chance to flash back to the original radio at least?

i know theres no way to go back to the original pri.

im wondering if i should unroot, unlock, s-on, and reflash the original RUU

i need ideas and options, advice thanks to anyone for help, cause this radio set isnt working for me

edit: also, im running flex's 1.22 rom, would using the original radio interfere with any features?
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] Captain_Throwback:
You can flash whatever radio you want. Flashing back to the original RUU won't change the PRI though. And the other firmware probably won't affect your signal too much.
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] reverepats:
can anyone else access the DL links? Sems adfly took Em down
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] ckoadiyn:
They are there you have to delete the url up to dh part

http://*******/482949/banner/http://d-h.st/elt

thats the link it takes you to right you just need to delete it up to here

http://d-h.st/elt

merp scratch that it was what i had to do earlier...

what file are you trying to get?
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] reverepats:
Ohh ok. I must have missed that somewhere. I had no idea. Well I wanna try the full firmware zip. I see some are looking to Dow grade cause there ha ig signal issues and dropped calls and such. But I live on the edge LOL. I just wanna be up to date. That's all. Thanks for the info bro

Edit... Yeah I'm on my phone. Just woke up too hehe. Don't worry, I can do this later when I get home. TIA

[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] reverepats:
Got it. Dude you the best. Thanks again man
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] lowetax:
just curious.

is this everything except the new hboot ?

or is that included ?

thanks
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] Captain_Throwback:
If it's a mirror of mine, it wouldn't include HBOOT.

None of my firmware zips include the new HBOOT. It's not needed, and there's no reason to update it, especially if you're S-OFF.

[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] lowetax:
so the full firmware listed at mikmik does not contain hboot. just wanted confirmation before i helped someone.

thanks again captain
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] Captain_Throwback:
That is correct. The "full" firmware zip doesn't include HBOOT, recovery, or boot.img.

[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] reverepats:
Hey bro, that zip you linked me, when I went into Hboot I got "Model ID Fail"

Any I deal why that it? TIA

Never mind. I had no issues DLin Captains zip this morning. I'm all set. Thanks man. Captain, thanks buddy
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] ckoadiyn:
Cool glad you got it worked out weird it did that it was what I flashed lol
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] reverepats:
OHH was it? Yeah even the file size was off by 2mb. No biggy though. No harm done. Much appreciated as always. Hope too see an increase in data speeds, but I'm not holding my breath LoL
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] ckoadiyn:
I noticed a increase for me in my area S well as better signal
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] reverepats:
Well I've been in downtown Boston all day and have had full signal. Gonna check my speeds now. So far, so good
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] Sloth:
Hi what should my hboot say after flashing the updated full firmware? Mine says hboot 1.12.0000 Radio 1.02.12.0427 I forgot to check it before flashing lol. It went so fast when I flashed it and it never told me to press power to reboot so I'm not sure if it worked. I just wanna make sure it's correct. I have used the RegawMOD Bootloader Customizer set to stock look if that makes a difference.
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] Captain_Throwback:
Your HBOOT won't change, but your radio version should've. It doesn't appear the the firmware flashed. You did flash it through the bootloader, right?
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] Sloth:
Yes I flashed in bootloader I saw it working it was to fast to read what it said. lowetax told me after it flashed it should ask me to reboot, it never did I flashed twice same thing happened both times.
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] Captain_Throwback:
In that case it didn't actually flash. The file is likely named incorrectly. it has to be named PJ75IMG.zip.
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] Sloth:
Yes that is what it was named it said check then said "no image" 4-5 times. Thanks for your help but it;s time for bed I'll check back when I get up. :)
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] Captain_Throwback:
Make sure you have it on the external SD card, and that your file explorer isn't hiding extensions. In that case, the actual file name might have 2 '.zip's at the end.
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] Sloth:
Yes it is on the external my comp won't recognize my internal for some reason. Yes it does have 2 .zips how can I correct that?
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] Captain_Throwback:
Just remove one, and it should be good to go.
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] Sloth:
Yes that's what I did thanks for all your help Capt. the xda community rocks :)

None of the download links work they keep sending me to this site.

PRI

no matter what I try I cannot seam to be to update my PRI to the new one. I flash in bootloader & it says Parsing but when I check once it reboots to remove the file . the system info says I'm one the 2.28.003 one, my radio is the the 1.05.11.0606 & using flex"s 1.74 what am I doing wrong? can ya point me to the file just to flash the PRI since every thing else is good, I'm unlocked using the HTCdev way. Help !!
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] Captain_Throwback:
You have to be S-OFF to flash the full firmware zip. Being unlocked, you can only flash the radio, and only through recovery.

I'll be updating the thread and FAQ today so hopefully it'll clarify for everyone.
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] guih:
Hi, if we're s-off are we unable to flash the latest PRI?

Thanks

[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] Captain_Throwback:
If you're S-OFF, you can flash whatever you want ;).
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] Captain_Throwback:
Re-did the Downloads post over on themikmik to hopefully clear up some confusion. Will be updating the FAQ presently.
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] guih:
My bad, I meant if we're s-ON are we unable to flash a PRI, sorry for the trouble :)
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] Captain_Throwback:
That is correct. If you're S-ON, UNLOCKED, you cannot flash the PRI. You should just S-OFF so you can flash whatever you want.
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] Captain_Throwback:
FAQ has been updated (Post #2).

Going forward, if someone asks a question that is already covered there, I will be ignoring it. If it's a new question, I will add it.

I encourage everyone to read the FAQ if you have a question, to make sure the thread doesn't become full of the same question being asked over and over again ;).
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] jaihawk8:
I am hoping some can help me. I flashed through the bootloader the latest firmware. I noticed over the last several days, I couldn't make calls at all at times. I tried to flash back to an older radio, but when I rebooted it got stuck on the white HTC screen. I forced my way back into the bootloader which automatically loaded the firmware again. I was hoping to just restore, but it looks like all of my restores are gone as well as any roms I had saved. When I go into install, it just shows /sdcard with the TWRP folder and that's it. Help???
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] RobertBohannon:
The only thing i can think is the current rom you are running could be causing the problem. if nothing else find the stock RUU flash that back to the phone factory restore and lazy panda that thing all over again.
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] 00mred00:
Did you check mark "use external card" at the top?

Mine did this the other day and I had to move my backups around using twrp file manager then it worked

Question

Anyone have information on how to revert back to the previous PRI & PRL ?

I've already reverted back to Radio=1.02.12.0427. Currently on PRI=2_45_003 & PRL=25005. But having all kinds of dropped call problems so i'd like to revert back to the original PRI/PRL

Any assistance is greatly appreciated
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] Captain_Throwback:
Just added this to the FAQ:

Q: I installed the full firmware update, but now I want to go back to the old PRI. How do I do that?

A: You don't. There is no standalone flashable for the original (2.28_003) PRI.

As far as PRL goes, that doesn't have anything to do with these radios, as those are updated within the ROM and pushed directly from Sprint. If you click on the PRL in my signature, it'll take you to my PRL thread, though. You might find what you want there ;).
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] ewells38:
Thanks for the assistance and info :)
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] TorxT3D:
since my last venture with flashing the latest firmware pack.. i had reverted.

then couple days ago i reflashed the firmware pack.

getting great signal, no drops, no txt issues.. everythings working great like it should

maybe the sprint towers were under maintenance or something at the time
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] pathtologos:
Hey all. Ok I was reading the op carefully and I just wanna confirm something I think I understand. I am currently s-on and I've been too much of a chicken to run lazy panda (ill do it, when I HAVE to). Anyway, the op says that flashing radio is ok IF I am HTC dev unlocked and on hboot version 1.12.0000. Which I am. So if I have these prerequisites met I should be good to go, correct? Btw, I'd like to make sure I stay on this hboot version so I can continue to flash radios and whatnot in the future. Do custom roms ever replace your hboot version?

Thanks guys.
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] volk9029:
You are good to go. Flash the radios in recovery. Custom roms do not ever touch hboot.

Sent from my lair.
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] Captain_Throwback:
You understand correctly. However it should be noted that you cannot do the full firmware update (which includes PRI and some other stuff) without either S-OFF, or taking the OTA (which will upgrade your HBOOT to the "bad" version). As long as all you want to update is your radio, you'll be fine.

A custom ROM will never include an HBOOT update.
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] pathtologos:
Where can we get this full firmware update? Without accepting OTA, of course. If needed ill do the lazy panda.
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] DNarsingh:
Its in the OP, but you will need to be S-OFF with LazyPanda.
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] ssmercurys:
Wanted to finally update to the newest Stock on here today. Is there any reason to not flash Captain's boot.img over at themik? Anything that will screw up if I do/do not flash the boot with the rest of the firmware? I am still S-OFF and would like to stay that way if possible, or is it just worth it to skip the new kernel.
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] Captain_Throwback:
I think the new boot.img is designed to work best with the newest firmware and software. If you've flashed a ROM based on the newest software, then it likely already includes the boot.img. If you're still running a 1.13.651.1 software version ROM, and you've already updated your firmware, it couldn't hurt to try out the new boot.img. It did seem to make things smoother for me. YMMV.

[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] gmarkiek:
Has anybody had poor call and reception quality since flashing new radios? Sometimes I get a lot of choppy calls and other times people on the other in say I sound choppy and they are on landlines. Is it possible that I had a bad download. Btw I am s-off via the lazypanda. I would really appreciate it if someone could help me with this. I am currently on viperROM but it was going on even with other roms.

It also seems like I have good signal because I have 3 to 4 bars most of the time.

[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] tallguywes:
Same issue for me; thought I was crazy..
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] gmarkiek:
I guess the only fix is to revert back. I'm not sure how or if it's possible. I reflashed and I'm still have problems. Both times I did it thru the bootloader.

Once you updated, did you check for a new PRL and do a profile update?

The firmware is not connected to the HBOOT, right? I'm after the updated HBOOT, PRI, and radio stack.
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] Sloth:
The new hboot is not included in the full firmware :D
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] Captain_Throwback:

New Radios 3G performance

Hi All,

I just flashed the fullfirmware.zip and everything was successful but now I'm getting terrible 3g connections and my signal is spotty at best. I'm running the latest freshevo 5.2.1.

I have updated my PRL and profile...

Not sure what the next steps are was hoping someone could point me in the right direction. Does it make sense to reflash the fullfirmware? I really did seem like everything went smoothly when I updated the radios and pri through the bootloader.

I'm S-OFF and all of that jazz...

I'd be open to downgrading if someone thought that would be helpful.

Thanks guys!

Update:

I reflashed the Radios (bootloader) did a full wipe and install still having problems. The connection is still pretty bad and now the phone is rebooting periodically.

I'm totally stuck. Is there a way for me to revert back to the old radio?
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] Captain_Throwback:
Updated with radios/firmware from today's OTA.
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] gianmarco00:
Awesome. Any benefits as of now to update to the new radio if I plan on keeping Mean's 3.4 for now? I'm Hboot 1.12 and S-ON so would just flash this with recovery, right?
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] Captain_Throwback:
Yes, you would flash the Recovery (Radio only) version. And some people have reported better 3G signal and better Wi-Fi connection, but that's possibly just the placebo effect. YMMV.
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] shakuyi:
thank you so much! now hopefully someone can create a flashable zip of the actual update and we will be in business!!!
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] :
Captain, Thanks for keepin things updated :thumbup:

Anyplace we can get see what all was changed/updated? :D
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] ahecht:
Okay, so I may have screwed up here. I flashed the new radio, but the phone wouldn't boot all the way (I saw my wallpaper and the status bar, but no lockscreen ever appeared). I then flashed back to the old radio using the firmware file, and now my phone won't turn on at all. When I plug in via USB, I get the QHSUSB_DLOAD device. Am I bricked?
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] Captain_Throwback:
You flashed the new radio how, exactly (i.e. which file)? And are you S-OFF or S-ON? Which HBOOT version?
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] LMMT:
Just used the full firmware zip. No problems, here.
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] bog3nator:
flashed new full firmware package, worked without any issues...thanks again cap.!
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] Adam1422:
Quick question...

I'm Hboot 1.12 and S-ON and flashed the radio only version:

1. renamed the zip to PJ75IMG.zip and placed on root of sdcard

2. rebooted into the boot loader

3. at fastboot screen i select bootloader option

4. finds the file and says parsing

5. goes back to hboot menu but no prompt for an update or anything

am I missing something?
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] bog3nator:
thats why, if you are s-on you cannot flash the bootloader version...you have to flash through recovery only. download the radio only and boot into TWRP and flash and you should be good to go..the bootloader version is for S-OFF only!
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] Captain_Throwback:
I guess I'm confused. You can't flash a radio in bootloader because you're not S-OFF. So, I assume you downloaded the Recovery-flashable version, but you renamed the file and aren't flashing it in recovery? Can you please clarify?
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] Adam1422:
Figured it out! Sorry for the confusion! Just being a noob for a few minutes...thats all! All figured out and radio updated! Thanks again for your fast response and great work Captain!
