The steps Lowetax just posted worked for us.

Same hardware version. Same software. Same ROM. We are both on the same account. I performed a clean install of 3.6 on both phones.

After experiencing the issue, this is what I did in this order. I updated the profile, updated the PRL, rebooted into the latest version of TWRP, wiped cache 3 times, dalvik cache 3 times, rebooted.

Just tested and her phone now rings while under forced roaming with WiFi turned off.

When I first loaded 3.6 on her phone, I could not update the profile or PRL. I went to bed and in the morning I was able to update them both normally.

My phone is Roaming right now and Rings fine.

I'm on latest firmware running 3.6

I'm running 12124 PRL (which after much research I think is a good compromise PRL).

You might dig into WHO you're Roaming on.

I'm roaming on Verizon (only because I'm using PRL 12124).

What's odd though is my phone will Roam on Verizon 3G when in Auto.

My wifes EVO 3D running lastest MeanROM also on PRL 12124 behaves differently. In Auto it gets nothing. I have to Force Roam. But all summer "Auto" on her phone has been in and out. With normal PRL we normally Roam on US Cellular. But it's been shakey lately don't know who's fault it is.

This is all in one location where we have a vacation house. Back at home or work we are normally always on sprint with a couple bars and woks fine.

The only better service in my area is Verizon and no way I can justify their prices.

How does one do a "Nandroid" before dev unlocking? I thought you had to have custom recovery to do a nandroid, and custom recovery, requires an unlocked device?

would you mind posting link to new camera apk please. thanks
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] mikeyxda:
Yeah, that was my error. Wrong order. Dev unlock and install recovery, then before rooting or flashing any ROMs, nandroid at that point. I'm doing so many things at one time right now, my head is spinning. Now after another factory reset, I'm stuck on the android.process.acore FC. I'm GLAD! Now I can fix it since it's happening to me: wasn't happening before. I've been able to do a logcat and narrow it down to an ugly interaction between the boot process and a voicemail waiting. Doesn't happen unless you have a voicemail unread and waiting. More later.

How is it that you are forced to run outdated Hboots? I'm S-OFF and I was running Hboot 1.15 and went back to Hboot 1.12.2222. I thought the whole point of being S-OFF was that you can modify/replace any file on the phone?

I fixed this by restoring my old Wallet version APK!

don't remember what thread I found it in, so here:

backup original camera.apk in /system/app/ and then copy this over and set the permissions right

I think it works 100% with this ROM but if you find something broken please post it here

[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] rpwhite3:
Quick question, I have seen this asked but I have also seen multiple answers so hoping I ask the question that makes sense.

I am Dev-Unlocked and have TWRP installed. I am on Mean ICS3.4 I have Hboot 1.15 and I am NOT S-OFF.

I want the new radios so I can get better 4G LTE connections, at least I think the OTA updates will do this.

So the question is, can I do a Nandriod backup, RUU (WIll have to figure this out), take the OTA Update (this gets me new radios N Such), re-dev unlock, re-install TWRP and then restore the Nandriod backup.

Will this put me right back on Mean 3.4 with the new radios and allow me to get to the current REV of Mean Rom?

I know I am stuck for a bit with S-OFF so until someone figures out Hboot 1.15 I know I am stuck. Just want to make sure I have the process down before I start.

Thanks for the help guys!!!
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] engelsione:
Thanks Banccalif

Done as above an worked Perfect!!!! But noticed a few changes.....Now the screens do not go 360 like before, the Icons spacing are back to normal... on 3.3 I could fit 5 apps per column now is back to only 4. The "recent apps" button is back to recent apps and I will like to set it as " settings" like in previous builds.

As I wrte this the phone is in auto downloading all apps in Titanium so I will leave it alone for the next 2 hours.

Is there a File I can flash the recents apps button to settings, 5 x 4 icons spacing and Landscape Rosie??

i was thinking about this procedure but got tired of fixing my temp bricked phone so i stopped thank you now i dont need to ruu but this will update me to the 1.19 hboot. I cant go back to 1.15 if I where to do this
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] lowetax:
skip the nan restore of 3.4, full wipe/clean install flash 3.6, test it out without installing/restoring much,

wipe cache & dalvik cache and make a nan backup (3.6-clean), then before rebooting to system,

advanced nan restore data only from your 3.4 nan backup,

and give that a try.
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] p2cactus:
You need to relock the boot loader before the ruu will install. The Regraw root/unlock method is supposed to work, but I had issues and had to do the dev unlock manually. It is really easy, just takes a bit longer. That will also let you flash twrp and then you can flash MeanROM. I did this last night and it took ~2 hours. Now that I know how to do it I could do it in less than an hour.

If you are going to take the ota I suggest going straight to 3.6 so that the Rom and lower level software are all running on the same base. Fewer potential issues.

My cuz's girl has the s3 and it was scoring 3900. I still think there is something wrong. I thought they were suppose to shore higher than our eVo and out of the box my eVo ran 5200. My cuz's 3d scores 3100 stock kernel and I'm sure well over 4000 with a +++++++ kernel. So freaking glad I got the eVo and not the s3 cause apparently its not much of an upgrade over the 3d. Why is the power of the s3 not coming out? I'm not going to root her s3 and such so I guess the s3 runs like crap unless u hack it.

Traditionally, you don't flash hboots because you could lose s-off doing that. Seems like everyone running s-off is on 1.12 for that reason. I did hear a report here and there about being able to update hboot and not lose s-off. So maybe that's not always the case... but someone has to be that first guinea pig: flash the latest hboot and see if they lose s-off... or it bricks their phone.

Do all the white phones have sucky backlights for the capacitive buttons? Mine are all uneven with the right button being the brightest and the left one being about 1/4 the brightness of the right and not even completely lit. All three have a hazy white glow around them and look horrible in the dark. Is this normal? My black one never had that problem so I'm thinking it's the white cutout.

I'd hate to have to go through the trouble of returning another one... if they're all like this.

[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] digiblur:
I don't think it is PRL related. Not a whole lot has changed recently with roaming. There's a code that people supposedly thinks it gives them better signal, and but what it does is force a register with the tower. Actually back in the day you had to do this for your home system to find you to send the roaming calls. I can't remember the code though.

I bet you are on the money with a provisioning issue. Some sprint reps are hard to get them to help you with roaming though.

Be aware.. The other day I had 12124 on an EVO LTE and stock prl on a S3. When we got to Houston I couldn't get 4g to come up on the EVO. I tried everything I could think of. Everything I looked at, researched, read, etc doesn't show a PRL having any effect on LTE, load but apparently it does with Sprint. Probably due to their no SIM card. Once I hit update prl on the EVO I had no problem getting LTE. There are some extra MCC records I haven't seen before in the 25xxx prls so I assume the LTE side uses these.

I haven't had anyone else in an LTE area load 12124 for the second confirmation though. Guess everyone is scared to load prls ;)

Some info from a parallel universe

Hello to my Evo 3D MeanROM friends!

I'm dropping in from a parallel universe (the Evo 3D forums) to share some information about HTC bootloaders that might be helpful.

Back in May we had some confusion about bootloaders and Unknownforce, the developer of the hboot 1.4 downgrade S-OFF method for the E3D, dropped in and explained them in this post.

I didn't completely understand it at the time, but recently I had some problems flashing with fastboot and the stock bootloader, which was locked after gaining S-OFF via the JuopunutBear method (from the same developers as Lazy Panda). Here's the post I made about the issues I experienced and the resolution.

I understand that things might be different on the Evo 4G LTE and I'm not giving anyone advice, just pointing out that there is a dfiference between "radio S-OFF" and "bootloader S-OFF" as Unknownforce put it, and it seems that the only custom (S-OFF) bootloader available for your phone right now is the Lazy Panda version available from the downloads on this web page.

My guess is that anyone that is currently S-OFF can flash any version of the Evo 4G LTE RUU's and not lose S-OFF, then subsequently flash the custom Lazy Panda bootloader to gain "bootloader S-OFF" but I don't have a 4G LTE to try it.

As I said earlier, things may not be exactly the same on the Evo 4G LTE as the Evo 3D, but I'm sure that a lot of the principles are the same.

I hope this information helps with answering your S-OFF/bootloader/RUU questions.

Few roaming test. At first I couldn't get it to ring at all while roaming, then I tried to update prl then profile, then cleared cache and data through recovery. Tried again and it would ring the first two times, tried a few more times with screen on and screen off. Hit or miss, sometimes it would ring and sometimes straight to voicemail. Seemed to have more issues when it was roaming with 1x than when it only had voice. Other than that, no rhyme or reason.
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] mtg981:
This is what I thought also. At least I know we update the hboot on the OG Evo. There were flashable zips from

Calkulin. Now I got my curiosity up and am going to have do some research on hboot updating.
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] icethegreat:
Correct me if I'm wrong (unless I just have to keep trying til I find someone to do it for free). I called a while back and explained that my home is a dead zone. Literally, you walk to the window and bars appear, you take 3 steps back and you are downgraded to 0-2 bars. They said that I can purchase an air rave but the only way they can give me one for free would be to be in a known dead zone (according to there coverage map). Any suggestions would be gladly accepted.

Works fine, I'm s-off and hboot 1.19!
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] kaeXo:
I'm so glad I bought this phone when it first came out and rooted right away...phew.

HTC Unlocked (since about 3rd week after release)

HBoot 1.12.2222 (RegawMOD)

LazyPanda S-OFF (as soon as was available)

TWRP 2.2.2.0 (previously 1.8, 2.1 and 2.2.1)

Radio 1.12.11.0809 (upgraded from 1.12.11.0606)

ROM versions: 2.4-3.5

I was on 3.4 when I installed captain_throwback's full firmware upgrade via bootloader (no hboot.img, recovery.img or boot.img). This just gave me the radios, etc. This is when 3.5 came out so I did a nandroid backup, wiped cache, dalvik-cache, sd-ext, system and factory reset 4 times each. I always do a fix permissions after each ROM is installed.

I downloaded 3.5 through the ota-updater, but installed it through recovery. I got a single force close on bootup, so to be safe I wiped everything again, 4 times as usual and reinstalled 3.5. I read that a lot of people were having a single force close issue on their first install so I didn't worry.

I booted up 3.5 for the second time and loaded flawlessly. I checked system info to be sure I really updated to the latest firmware, check. I ran Quadrant and scored a 5,850 which impressed me considering it was right out of the gate. However, I couldn't handle not having quick settings (unavailable then), a transparent Rosie and a recent apps button that worked as a menu button on the home screen.

That being said, I waved goodbye to 3.5 until another day and did a full 4x wipe again, installed 3.0 and haven't had any issues. My firmware has downgraded and all is well. I don't know if this helps anyone, but I figure it couldn't hurt to have at least one good story on here. ;)

[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] kaeXo:
You know I said (unavailable then) immediately after my comment right..................................................

(parenthesis are your friend -dont ignore them hehe)

1 of 3 meaning either a transparent Rosie has been released or the long press recent apps button works on the home screen now too? That would be sweet if that's the case. When I was on 3.5, the recent apps remap worked in all apps, but it didn't allow me to access the Settings button in the menu that pops up along with the other stuff like Wallpaper and Personalize.

I'm not a developer, but from what I understand, the firmware contains a multitude of things including, but not limited to, Baseband, PRI, NV, WiMAX, Android version, HTC Sense version, Build number, etc. Anywho... when I was on 3.5 I had Android 4.04, Sense 4.1, Build 2.13.651.1 and the associated stock kernel. After I tested it, I wiped x4 and flashed 3.0 which now shows I'm on Android 4.0.3, Sense 4.0, Build 1.22.651.3 and the associated stock kernel. My Baseband and PRI have been unaffected by the downgrade, but we all know that isn't affected when going between different custom ROMs.

Please correct me if I'm wrong somewhere. I'm always open to new knowledge!

I'm still having problems staying connected to wifi. Constantly have to disconnect and reconnect to wifi just to get it to work.

[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] kusanagi-sama:
I can confirm the same. I force roaming on my phone, then call it and it will go to voice mail. It wouldn't go off roaming unless I forced Sprint only.

What was interesting is that if I called out on my EVO 4G LTE while in roaming to my other phone (LG Optimus S), it would go through. Then after that I called my EVO 4G LTE from my LG Optimus S and the EVO now picks up, everytime. Oh, and I'm PRL 25006

Thanks will give this a try this week for sure...
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] mikeyxda:
I would agree, BUT... check this out. I tried absolutely everything. I updated PRL, then profile, then wiped dalvik and cache, and rebooted. I did profile first, then PRL. PRL and profile multiple times. I even factory reset 3x and then reinstalled the ROM. Ticked all options back and forth, turning roam guards on, then back off. Tried setting to Sprint only, rebooting, then changing to Automatic. Rebooted after that. Absolutely nothing worked. When I was roaming (and I can make mine roam by forcing it or just setting it next to the metal filing cabinet). Either way, when roaming, it refused to ring: went straight to VM.

THEN... I dusted off my CDMA workshop and pushed 12124 PRL and rebooted. Worked instantly. Waited 15 minutes, tried again. Still working. Rings now when roaming. And this was within a few minutes of doing all the above. So either this is an extreme coincidence or PRL 25006 is hosed. BTW, about 2 days ago I tried 24006 (labeled as the corporate one). That was hosed too. Only 12124 works for me!

Try calling out from your new EVO while in roaming, then if the other phone picks up, hang up and then call your new EVO from the other phone (while the EVO is still in roaming). And I have 25006 PRL

Does anyone read? (sorry if I sound irritated, but it seems I'm responding to the same thing over and over) I've only been on 3.5 and I'm aware they are remapped (you even have different options in settings). I was just having no luck with the menu button doing anything on the home screen.

I <3 stock sense launcher, but honestly I haven't looked into many other launchers. I was never a fan of ADW or the feeling of CyanogenMOD. I don't mind waiting until it's confirmed to be working on the stock launcher because the device is already very fast and I kinda get stuck into my ways pretty deep. I might just wait for a confirmed home screen settings fix before I upgrade again... hmm. I don't mind <3.5 versions. The ROM is great regardless of the build IMO.

I ran The Classic v1.0 on my EVO 4G because I loved how the ROM was so solid due to how much time devs have had to stabilize the older builds.

Well, I guess since I had a successful upgrade/downgrade once before, I'll go ahead and give it a shot! I'm convinced enough to try and besides, who doesn't love messin with their phones? =]
