Yeah, I know i can set a pin etc at that location. However, if you dont have any kind of security set and u turn off/on screen you can pull down notification bar and unlock phone by going to settings from the notification bar. Hopefully that made more sense

new 3.6 no custom kernel + no OC

3.4 was last with custom kernel it what im using new 3.6 seems too much hit or miss on even fully running. i will say i love Mix Master Mikes work though.

---------- Post added at 12:37 PM ---------- Previous post was at 12:34 PM ----------

no custom kernel no OC
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] AngelofChaos:
no you cannot, new kernel = no overclocking until HTC releases the kernel source.

Hey Mikey, Check your messages.
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] Deputydroid:
Just a quick note to say thank you to all the talented people here in this thread that share their knowledge. Unfortunately I was 1.15/s-on, with a bit of searching this thread, I was able to unroot, flash ruu, take ota for 2.13.651.1 firmware, reroot and flash meanrom 3.6 using the gui method without any issues.

Lets just say I learned a lot last night.

THANK YOU to all.

Ok so since updating to the new base, I have had tons of wifi drop. Anyone having these issues?
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] corcgaigh:
Just back from sprint store with a new white evo. First store i went to wanted to keep it for repair and post me a new one, i said no way and drove to another. The service tech at the second store was a real cool guy. They had 5 evos in stock and let me power them all up and check hboots. All of them were rocking 1.15. He said chances of getting the original hboot at this stage would be almost impossible.

BTW i told them i accepted the OTA last night and when i woke up my phone was unresponsive. They said they had heard of this happening with the first OTA so thats the story you should probably go with

Good luck man

edit.. totally free replacement with t.e.p.
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] cjrdriven:
Several have given you the answer, but my experience is 3.6 is smoother and scores just as high as when I was OC on 3.4. No lag or stuttering that I did notice on occasion with 3.4.

I am s-on, HTC unlocked, with 1.12 hboot. If I flash the kernel with Flash Image, then the ROM, will I get the new firmware as well? Or do l still need to download the radios? I updated them on 3.2. I know that s-off might be easier, but still not comfortable with it yet...

[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] btbamzao:
No. Only way to get firmware is to accept ota or s-off and flash in bootloader.
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] banccalif:
S-off bro, it's pointless to waste an hboot 1.12 with s-on
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] tyler.durden:
Sorry if it's been mentioned already, but the only "bug" I've noticed on 3.5/3.6 is in the stock Music app. When scrolling through the artists, you can't use the slider on the side to skip to certain letters like normal. It just goes from '0' to '1' and doesn't move. I actually use that feature all the time since I have a ton of music on my phone.
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] mikeyxda:
Well I wasn't as lucky as corcgaigh. They wanted me to be without a phone until Wednesday. That's what I get for this happening on a Saturday night and having to go to the store on Sunday. Not the usual guys I work with. I had a plan though. Been wanting to get my daughter a phone and add it to the account so I got another LTE and I took that one (white this time). When the other phone comes in next week, I'll give her that one and she'll be ecstatic. Didn't really want to do that but it can't hurt having two LTE's to play with and I'll feel safer with my 12 yo daughter having a phone with her. Set me back $214 plus $40/mo for 2 years. So your donations are greatly appreciated!

Now, the phone is a white one and the battery is so dead I can't boot to recovery yet but I have high hopes. When I checked the software as it was being activated at the counter, it had 1.13 software on it. Didn't that come with hboot 1.12? Or was it split? Anyway, I'll find out later once it charges up. Two things worthy of note:

(1) I did debate getting a GS3 as my phone and letting my daughter have the LTE. Decided against it though as I really don't like the Samsung screen.

(2) This whole hard brick thing when flashing firmware has me a little gunshy now. I'm almost tempted to just go s-on and take all firmware updates OTA even if it does have 1.12. I almost feel like being on the dev side, I should be using the most difficult solution anyway (as far as difficulty flashing). I haven't been s-on in a while: what's the process when you want the whole firmware update? Do you have to unroot and relock before you can take the OTA, then unlock and reroot after the OTA?

Mike
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] .torrented:
Yea that sounds about right, unroot and relock, then unlock and reroot after the OTA. I believe bad things happen if you were to stay unlocked/unrooted and take an OTA. I think it messes with the hboot. Bad experiences with OG EVO
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] mrshades812:
Phew! Glad you didn't go with option 1! haha
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] IWishItJustWorked:
Quick question not specifically related to the rom.

Whats the correct procedure to completely reset the phone to stock (complete loss of data)? When I wipe "internal storage" I assume that is wiping the internal SD card right? So i normally run superwipe, then wipe internal. Is this sufficient?
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] mrshades812:
What are you trying to accomplish? Are you trying to send your rooted phone back to sprint or something? Need more info to be able to help you out.
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] .torrented:
Yea just in recovery, factory reset, system wipe, cache, d.cache, and internal memory.
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] Cry Havoc:
So it's okay for unlocked/rooted users to use the OTA, right? I honestly can't afford to brick my phone.
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] dmyoung:
Good to hear that you are not abandoning the LTE. Those of us that are s-on will now have a developer that feels our pain and will be able to walk us through the update process experiencing the same limitations.
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] Cry Havoc:

Is the kernel in 3.6 the same one as in 3.5? If it's the same, shouldn't I be able to wipe caches and flash 3.6 on top of 3.5? The kernel that I have is "3.0.8-01680-gb6402b4 root@AMB030 #1 SMP PREEMPT". Thanks.

My experience from last night, I was hboot 1.15, htcdev unlocked s-on with meanrom 3.3

Restored stock rom, with TWRP recovery, OTA downloaded and failed

Restored stock rom, stock recovery, OTA failed X3 Tried factory wipe ect......

Tried to run RUU for 1.22.651.3 while bootloader was unlocked Failed

Relocked bootloader, Stock recovery and Rom, factory reset, RUU was sucsessfull.

Rebooted phone and accepted OTA successfully

Unlocked Bootloader, flashed TWRP and all is good.

Hope this saves a phone or two and headaches!!!!

Hey Mike what's going on? Thanks for this new release and adding the ota update into it. Quick question, In the new update do we get the new updated camera in there as well like the European version did?
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] reynoldsrobbie:
and I just did Lazy panda and just about threw up because I was so nervous(already bricked one). I could have stayed s-on if I knew Mikey was going to go that route. I now am nervous that if Mikey bricked his by updating his firmware, that I could possibly do the same. UGHHH!
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] btbamzao:
My wife's phone was 1.15 HTC unlocked s-on. Just re locked bootloader and ran latest ruu. Worked the first time. After ruu I unlocked again and fast boot flashed twrp.
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] .torrented:
no that would be what you want to avoid. IF you want to the the sprint OTA ( which if you are rooted DO NOT DO) you need to be LOCKED/UNROOTED to take sprint OTA's

LOCKED/UNROOTED = take OTA and risk never getting root/unlocked

UNLOCKED/ROOTED = do NOT take OTA or risk perma-bricking your device

those are the two main things about taking OTA's
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] banccalif:
The camera sucks right now, washed out pics or too dark, camera refocusing over and over etc. Mike said he found a fix prior to him bricking his device so now we wait

Mikey had the firmware from 1.22 on his sd and flashed that by accident, so no need to worry about that. Just be sure to get the correct package
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] lowetax:
as post above said, Mikey's problem turned out to be from downgrading firmware (which should have worked). just pick the new firmware without kernel, recovery, hboot. and flash it from bootloader.

btw mikey, i had no experience with Samsung, but checked out the sgs3, and got it to check it out and test for Myn. they gave me 11 discount a month, so 29 a month extra , not bad.

sgs3 is my daily but use them both. i put them back to back and let them NFC !

Ran into an error today that seems to be baked in by HTC. Mike, is this something you can find and fix? I plugged in my LTEvo to my car charger and got the message shown in the attached image. It was o viously not an HTC car charger. It was a 700 mA Duracel car charger that I have had for a couple years. Maybe it was causing this message because it was low amperage. I tried a generic DC charger that put out 1 full amp and it did not give the error message. Thoughts?

[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] jackgibbs:
I'm grunching the crap out of this, so apologies if I'm repeating somebody.

you can do this with tasker/locale with roam control's plugin. roam control got pulled from the market for some reason, but he's still selling it here. I used to do this at my old job location, before I got moved into an even bigger concrete bunker where it didn't matter what signal I was using it was still a crap connection so why bother
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] mikeyxda:
Just so you know, some battery sapping problems cannot be solved by a ROM. Sprint is doing a lot of fooling with towers recently, converting Nextel towers over and such, at least in my area and I do a lot more roaming until they get up to speed. I've done several tests lately that prove that the radio alone will draw 1% every 5 minutes from your battery (12% per hour) just on the radio alone. I proved this by testing while roaming and I could confirm that the CPU's (both of them) were offline almost the entire time. The radio in these things draws a LOT of amperage when roaming, trying to get a non-roaming signal. Always been that way on HTC phones and probably always will be.

[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] mswlogo:
Sounds like you might have got one with old firmware. I just did S-OFF on one that my mom picked up last week (also white). So you may have got lucky.

Anything that needs to be done through Bootloader needs to be really respected. It's not as robust as EVO 3D was or EVO 4G.

You're just a bit gunshy right now. Get back on that horse :)

S-OFF risk is still worth it.

For you guys with the camera working great, can you try taking a photo of something about 6-12" with a background further away. For instance, hold up a pencil with a wall 5 to 10 feet in frame. Is your camera able to focus on the pencil?

I haven't had a chance to test the camera in 3.6 but in 3.4, the camera would focus in and out on the pencil and would never take a sharp, clear picture of the pencil.

I'm on 3.6 and was loving it until I hooked up my bluetooth. Bluetooth keeps connecting and disconnecting. I tried un pairing it and repairing it and still doing it. I need my bt for work for the GPS. (Truck driver)

Guess I'm back to 3.4 for now unless someone has any ideas that might help.

MeanRom is still the best by far though. Only thing it needs is better boot and shutdown animations. Especially the boot one. It doesn't do this Rom justice. Wish I could help there but I have no knowledge on the subject.

are you HTC-Unlocked? if you are i believe you need to relock first before you go to the next step and before you do ANY OF THIS make sure that this information is right. also check bottom of the 1st OP to make sure.

if you are still s-on but have the old hboot of 1.12.0000 i believe you should be able to run LazyPanda and before you do that download MeanROM v1.3 and flash that rom then run LazyPanda and get s-off

after you get s-off you want to update your radio to 1.12.11.0809 using this PJ75IMG.zip (make sure you rename the file "PJ75IMG" in windows before you flash it or it wont be recognized) here in the bootloader (this will update the radio/pri/nv) and after that you can flash MeanROM v3.6

Make sure that you are only flashing the rom by itself and do a boot before flashing any other mods (This is what caused 3.5 to not boot for me)

if you are not doing said above then try this. flash meanrom3.6 and after that if it doesnt boot go back into recovery do all your wipes again and reflash it a second time (worked for me)

OK. Phone fully charged. It's hboot 1.12. Since I bricked my other one during the Lazy Panda process (soft brick that unbricked via the unbricker) I'm thinking about installing a bone stock rooted 1.13 ROM and then doing Lazy Panda. Maybe that'll be smoother. Been a while though, so before I screw up another one, here's what I remember doing last time. Can someone tell me if these instructions are still valid...

(1) Root and install recovery via regawmod method.

(2) Install stock rooted 1.13 ROM.

(3) Do the Lazy Panda using the detailed method where you uninstall drivers and install the recommended ones, etc.

(4) And here's my real question. Once I get s-off, is it safe to go straight from the 1.13 firmware to the 2.13 (skipping 1.22)?

Thanks. Not too lazy to search: just been a rough few days and I'm exhausted.

the newest base is the 2.13 base(the rom base) in mikey's rom (they will be included in MR3.5 and above)
