I tellya, I still wonder if there's something wrong with the way we s-off and that's the reason we get hard bricked if we try to go backward with firmware. I've also seen a spurious report or two of people bricking by installing the correct (newer) firmware which makes me wonder if firmware updates on s-off are just risky at this point until someone figures out why a firmware (old or not) that flashes 100% ok would brick the phone beyond repair. At this point I'm thinking it'd be easier to just take all the OTA updates at this time and then run regawmod to dev unlock. I know every time I go to flash a PJ75IMG firmware from now on, I'll be puckering tighter than a naked beekeeper. :eek: I just want to make the right decision. Other than having to relock and take OTA's in order to get firmware, I don't really see a down side to s-on. It's not like you might lose root: because the HTC unlock will still be there. I'm in adb most of the time anyway, so I don't mind using fastboot. Only thing I've never done is RElock. What's involved in re-locking if you want to do a nandroid, relock, take OTA, and unlock again, then restore nandroid? I guess you have to install a stock ROM, relock, then take the OTA?

Sorry, maybe a dev should know this, but I've always gone straight for s-off. Don't really know how difficult it is to jump through the s-on hoops if/when you want to update the firmware via relocking and taking OTAs. Can someone who does that regularly chime in? No big deal? Or a PITA?

Somehow it is reassuring to know that everyone is a virgin at something.
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] banccalif:
Thats it really, relocking and taking the OTA is all there is to it. I used to have to do it on my 3d and for me that was a bit of a PITA. But being that you can fastboot or use flash image gui for kernels there is no difference with s-on

Edit: also if you were to s-off I've been seeing that some have taken the OTA and still retain s-off. I figure that if that is to be true it should be an safer way to update the firmware bits

I've done Lazy Panda on 3 phones.

First one was running MeanROM and it got stuck on Lazy Panda. Luckily I kept Lazy Panda running and poked and poked the phone and managed to recover and not need the unbricker. I did it in one very long pass.

The second two(my Sisters and Moms), were white ones. All I did was the 1 Click Root and then Lazy Panda and both went smooth. All on the same laptop, cable and same drivers.

When I did my first one it was a 32GB Class 10 SD Card with lots of stuff on it. When I did the second two I had freshly formatted (by the phone) 8GB SD Cards.

Don't know if it's luck, Stock ROM or SD Cards that made the difference.

So I had this issue back when I was on 2.4ish, but I seem to have all kinds of wifi issues with this ROM. A bunch of times my router is not seen, and when it is, it will scan, connect, disconnect and then start all over again. Further, when I leave my network, it still shows connected. PLEASE HELP. I have done a full wipe twice and it's still there. Don't have the issue on Viper. Please let me know if you need additional info.

If you're on 3.6 you should only have one thing in the Mean folder. My battery life on 3.5-3.6 is much better than any of the other builds. If you dirty flashed, always try a clean wipe and fresh install before asking for help, because a dirty flash is the most likely issue.

[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] N_Jones:
I have done the re-lock unroot for both of the OTA's so far. It is really easy....

SU fully unroot

fastboot oem lock

ruu (this is the longest part)

reboot take the OTA

HTC dev unlock

fastboot flash recovery

flash SU

and done.....

I really haven't seen the need to s-off. We can fastboot flash kernels and the full firmware seems to be important.

Anyway....... just how I do it..... I really like your ROM's Mikey....

My phone goes straight to voicemail when someone calls if it is roaming on 3.6 but rings fine otherwise. Mikey was looking into the raoming issue before he bricked. New firmware issue maybe?
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] lowetax:
with my clean install of 3.6 and latest firmware installed,

i tested out roam only and had the same thing.

so i went back to automatic setting, turned wifi on,

settings - system updates - update profile and update PRL

wiped cache and dalvik cache in recovery and rebooted.

now works fine in any roaming mode.

[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] Joey121215:
Yes, I am. This apps list a part of ICS, not exclusive to jelly bean, it's actually been around since honeycomb (that's android 3.0 by the way). There's no mod to De skin it? The sense skin just makes it so much less useful. I'm on CMX now and I'd rather use mean until the audio and camera features are fixed though, but I multitask a lot and senses skin really diminishes the usability of ICS's stock multitasking ability.

I went to bed with my battery at 92% when I wake up it's at 58% 10hours and 48 minutes of deep sleep. I'm on 3.5 this is the first time I have had battery problems using MR. Any ideas?

I posted the above statement earlier today, I just got home from work and my phone was completly dead I don't use my evo as my primary phone so my battery went from 100% to dead in less then 24 hours with very little use maybe 10 minutes screen on so it's usually in deep sleep 97-99% of the time. As stated above I have never had a problem with battery on MR but it seems since I upgraded the new firmware my battery is horrible. I do have better battery stats but I'm clueless as to what to look for.

NJfoss sorry to call you out in this post, I just see a philly eagles thing as your pic and wanted to ask you a question. I was at the phillies game the other night and my phone was bouncing between 1X and 3g. Now I know philly has 4G, but I wasn't getting it. also my sister who has just an evo 4g first gen has the toggle switch to turn on or off 4g and she was getting 4g service. So I guess I'm asking is there a switch on the 4g lte to do so, or if not how do I get 4g in a 4g area. cause right now I think sprint has the greatest phone but the worse service. On their coverag map they have where I work showing GREAT service but I get S**T, now that may be due to the storm that area had (EHT) back at the end of june but it is now SEP.

Right now I'm at my house where I usually get good service and 3g, now I only have 1x. and my job my battery dies so fast due to no service. Once again sorry to call you out nj foss, but I work at chickie's and pete's in eht and I live in dennis. So I get no 4g in philly no service where sprint says they have service. Just wondering if there is anything I can do

Sorry, I forgot to put this in my last post. Not sure if anyone else is having this problem, but when I am in certian forums on xda and I hit the back button in internet explorer (IE) it doesn't go back. And I'm sure people will say use chrome or fire fox, well I like IE it works the best. Now It only does this on xda, any other website I'm good I hit back it goes back. Not sure if that;s a site or developers problem or whatever. But when I cant click back and I have to search for my device all over again its kind of annying.

Sorry to ***** and rant
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] Traceamount:
Settings > Mobile Network > Network mode ... you want LTE/CDMA selected. I know that seems obvious, but do you get 4g anywhere? Or just not at that specific place?

Clean wipe/fresh install or dirty flash?
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] Sloth:
I always do a clean install I took the OTA once when it first came out just to see what was going on. I wipe cache/del cache and factory reset and fix permissions before I reboot. I tried flashing 3.6 last night but I was getting an error so I did nandroid back to 3.5 that's when my battery took a dump.

[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] mikeyxda:
In a way, I guess me bricking my phone was a good thing. I got to test this last night with a virgin phone right out of the box running the old 1.13. That phone, untouched even by dev unlock, would not ring either when it was roaming! I have one spot in my office that I can set my phone where it switched to roaming every time. I put the phone there right out of the box after it was charged and it rang on Sprint, wouldn't ring when roaming. Now after I update to the latest base, it still won't ring on roaming. So I can confirm that not only is this no fault of the ROM, it's not even a problem with the latest firmware!

IDKWTF is going on! I'm wondering if some network provisioning thing has changed where the phones only roam for emergency (calling) or something. It'd have to be something that affects even old phones with old firmware so I'm thinking PRL or profile related. I'm going to walk over to my neighbors who has an Evo 3D and ask him to turn off his AirRave, we'll make his phone roam, and test a different phone. I'd encourage those of you with the problem to do the same: if you know someone with a Sprint phone that you can make roam, test it too. Something "fishy" is going on in the land of the "Now Network" I think.

BTW, cringe if you must, but I'm now hboot 1.19 with MR 3.6 installed. After much investigation, I decided that with what I do, s-on actually has its advantages. One of the advantages is that I can take OTA's and get an early jump on them for you guys. Another is that there is likely a benefit to being on the latest hboot. I have a feeling that the brick-on-flashing-old-firmware problem is fixable (and may have already been fixed) in 1.15 or 1.19 hboots. The one bad thing about s-off is that you're forced to run outdated hboots and I think here, it has bit a few of us.

I also realized that if you do a nandroid before dev unlocking, the next time there's an OTA, there's no need to search around and find the previous RUU: just restore that nandroid where you were stock, relock, take the OTA, unlock again, and remember to take another nandroid so you'll be ready for the next OTA. Simple. And best of all, safe.

There will always be mixed emotions because a lot of members report little querks instead to trying to read. 3.6 is running flawless. I did a fresh install on 3.4 I wiped everything got it up where I want it then I flashed 3.6 on top. But I did all this after the firmware update. I did the firmware and after install a fresh 3.4. It's the long way but it works.

If you have a previous issue installing a new Rom would not fix it but just add more problems, so my advices is always do a clean install being complaining

You may have a unique opportunity there since you have the same phones. Are they both on the same software/version of everything? FWIW I've tried updating PRL and profile (in either order), wiping cache, rebooting, nothing helps me. Won't ring while roaming. I even tried all that on the brand new phone on the old software before it was even unlocked: well, updating PRL and profile, then the opposite order (profile and PRL). Nothing helps. I'm going to call Sprint in a minute. I have a feeling it's some sort of provisioning issue where my phone/account needs some sort of reset.

Oh, and maybe just as important, are you and your wife's phone both on the same account?

I also have to figure this out in the next couple of days because if Sprint can't fix this issue, I'm taking this new Evo 4G LTE back to them and saying goodbye to Sprint!
