Same here brother. My EVO 3D proudly wears hboot 1.4. I took it into Sprint because the digitizer was misdetecting touches on the bottom 1/8th of the screen. The Sprint tech said, "Would you like me to apply your updates", I was like "Nah, I'll do it myself".

What I mean was "hyells nawh!"

If so, WHOOPEE!
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] wjrandon:
Well it does update the radio and there has been reports that the Evo 4G LTE had known internal engineering reports about a defect that caused the device to lose it's connection to LTE towers. I wouldn't expect Sprint to publicize that with the release of the software update considering their LTE update hasn't officially lunched yet, but there's been a lot of speculation that the company delayed the launch due to the problem on the Evo LTE.

For general information, I ended up doing the Lazy Panda S-OFF because I was getting the red triangle during update. Installed the custom recovery then flashed the updates for Radio, etc, and flashed rom. GOOGLE WALLET STILL WORKS FINE FOR ME EVEN THOUGH I COULD NOT RESET THE SETTINGS. Hopefully this will help some others to make the decision which way to go. I didn't want to loose Wallet either, and it is fine.

I still have the issue of the texts not being sent or received correctly since I got the red triangle during OTA install.

There's a huge thread going at the Sprint Community site about ongoing issues and tickets in that exact area that you probably want to check out. There's a Sprint employee helping keep up-to-date on the issue.

Funny you mention it, I have been a part of that thread (markie2000) since a day or 2 after it started. They haven't done much but dance around the issue. I have started tickets and seen them start tickets also. I'm sure they are aware of the problem with the LTE devices, just aren't saying much about it. I just want my phone to ring again.

I downloaded both the PJ75IMG_1.22.651.3 and the PJ75IMG zips and ran the later in bootloader (forgot that you had to have THAT name).

Ok, so this thread is convoluted. Is there an update that one could flash via bootloader or recovery that wont mess up my recovery or hboot? From what I understand hboot 1.15 is bad and I should stay away?

[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] cubbieswin:
I read this whole thread and I'm lost as what to do. I rooted using zedomax root method. I have not used LazyPanda for S-Off yet, but I intend on doing that. I am running the stock software and have not used any custom ROMs (obviously right?) :).

I would like to get everything this update offers except for the stuff that will screw up root (hboot, bootloader, recovery?). Can someone help me out? I'm trying to get more well versed in this stuff. I've done a ton of reading.
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] Rxpert:
You can't get the update until you S-OFF first.

Then you flash teh ROM + firmware
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] cubbieswin:
Well, I know I can't flash a ROM until I have S-OFF. I'd prefer to stay stock for a while. So how do I get the ALL of the updates minus the new hboot, recovery, etc? I will eventually want to flash custom ROMs which is why I don't want to screw up with root/S-OFF by accepting the OTA update.
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] wwjoshdew:
I can NOT BELIEVE you use that... :P

***cough*** ***cough***
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] lowetax:
i'd let the panda eat the bamboo and get S-OFF (using unlimited.io's lazypanda) while the getting is good. then you have the freedom to do whatever you want to do.
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] Captain_Throwback:
As Rxpert said, the only way to get the firmware updates you seek is by getting S-OFF.
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] scottspa74:
You can flash ROMs (and pretty much anything else) with S-on. Though I know this doesn't exactly answer your question.

Also, does the OTA download to system/etc/security ? If so, I wanna break that directory so it won't download. Can anyone confirm? Thanks.

(I know I asked somewhere else, just can't find where lol sorry )
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] jelive:
Other than the full ROM is there a update zip for the kernel only...used Capt's bootloader full firmware update and it didn't contain the new kernel.

[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] markbo2000:
Got a question which I don't think there is a straight answer to. I started the ota since I was stock rooted with root. It stopped and gave me the red triangle. When booted, I had lost some texting ability on my airave, while my wifes still works.

I have since done lazy panda and flashed radio, kernel, etc., along with rom. Still can't send text from airave. I also seem to have problems getting some texts off towers also, very delayed if ever received. Any thoughts?

Edit: All of a sudden, Sunday morning the texts are sending out on the Airave. Hope it continue to works, not sure why it all of a sudden works this morning. It was out for 4 days.
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] regaw_leinad:
Hey guys, about the /system/etc/security thing, that directory contains the certificates that are checked when the OTA updates. When it can't find the certificates there (because you renamed it) it can't install the OTA.
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] scottspa74:
Thanks. Yeah, that post is where I got the info to begin with, but he said that was on heroc. Was curious if anyone could confirm on this device. On this device I think I saw ccacerts last night when I looked. May be same. Funny though, JUST as I read this post, a gtalk came in from from Dan, lol, so, we shall see. ;)

[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] cubbieswin:
I appreciate the help guys but I don't think I am getting my question across. I'll ask it another way. I have S-OFF using LazyPanda.

What do I do to apply everything from the OTA update besides the parts that will screwup root and S-OFF?? (eg, hboot, recovery, etc). I don't want to flash a custom ROM. I just want the updates applied to my stock Sprint phone.
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] creepdogg:

[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] CheriePie:
I'm Rooted and S-OFF (LazyPanda) but otherwise stock including Stock Recovery. I'm trying to install the OTA update using Robbie_G's instructions at http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1771874 but it's failing when trying to install the OTA update. I get the green recovery screen icon for a few seconds and then it switches to the red exclamation point, pauses for another minute or so, and then boots back up without the update applied.

I tried looking for an error log, which I thought should be in /cache/recovery/last_install but that file contains only the name of the OTA zip file followed by a 0 on the next line. So that's not giving me any indication why it's failing. If someone can point me to another location or a process for extracting the relevant info from alogcat, then perhaps I can find out exactly why it's failing and someone can point me in the right direction.

I disabled any tweaks I was using for the cpu governor and re-enabled Sprint's Smart Device Manager which I had frozen. Also disabled AdAway and Avast Anti-Theft so they wouldn't interfere with the process, and moved back the original Google Wallet files after using Utnick's Google Wallet Patch to make sure all my data was cleared. (The links to all the processes I followed are in the OP of the thread I linked above.)

Since my recovery is stock and I wish to remain at stock, and I know I can get root back because I'm S-OFF, I'd really like to install this OTA so I don't have to install a different ROM to get it (and I can stay as stock as possible).

I'd appreciate if anyone can help me... maybe help me find the relevant error log at least so I can try to figure out why it's failing?

Thanks in advance for any help you can give me. :)
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] Captain_Throwback:
When it gets to the red exclamation point screen, press both volume buttons and the power button simultaneously. That'll bring up the recovery menu, and the yellow detail at the bottom should show you what caused it to error out.

Installation aborted.

Which to me sounds like the zip file is corrupt. However, I've now went thru this same process about 3 times so it's hard to believe that I'd download a corrupt file all 3 times. And I didn't see a cached file of the zip anywhere else on my device after the failure. Any ideas?
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] Captain_Throwback:
Where did you download the OTA from? Did you use one from this thread?
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] CheriePie:
Nope, over the air from Sprint. But I can try to download the zip from one of the mirrors at the top of this thread maybe and see if that makes a difference. If I do it that way, is there a special installation procedure since I don't have a custom recovery installed? Or can it be renamed and installed thru the bootloader?

This is why I figured downloading it directly from Sprint was going to be easiest. On my OG Evo I did have custom recovery and all that, but for now, with this phone, and because I want to grab all the early updates that come up since it's still so new, I'm trying to remain stock as much as I can which is why I didn't bother installing TWRP yet. (Though looking at the instructions in bpdamas' post at http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1770501 which is where I'm at now, I may have to end up installing TWRP anyway to get my root back after this, right?)

If that's the case, I could just go ahead and install TWRP now I suppose and then figure out which files to flash that'll give me all of the updates from the OTA minus the hboot. Hmmm...
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] Captain_Throwback:
All you have to do is download the file, and place it onto the root of the external SD card.

Then boot into recovery. When you see the red triangle, press both volume buttons + the power button to bring up the recovery menu. Then choose "Apply update from sd card", and choose the OTA file. Hopefully it'll flash. If there's an error, then you'll see it in the output, as previously.

And yes, if you want to be rooted afterwards, you will need a custom recovery, but the OTA won't apply if you don't have the stock recovery.
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] CheriePie:
Cool I'll try that next. I grabbed one of SgtSlaughter's zip's from the OP here to work from that one instead of downloading from Sprint again. Should work the same way as you described right?

Also, was looking at the Bootloader Flashable "Full Firmware zip from 1.22.651.3 OTA" you posted over at themikmik and wondering if that'd get me there too since it looks like I wouldn't need a custom recovery for that... is that everything that's in the OTA minus the hboot? Or is it missing the radios and other stuff which would have to be done thru TWRP?
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] Captain_Throwback:
The firmware zip will get flashed at the end of the OTA, so no need to flash it separately.
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] CheriePie:
Thanks for all your help Captain Throwback but it seems that this is all going to have to wait a few more days now. On my way out to dance class tonight, the phone fell on the pavement and the screen shattered. :( I have TEP though and already filed the claim so a new LTEvo should be winging it's way to me tomorrow and then I'll have to start this process all over again. I just hope it doesn't already have the update on it. *crosses fingers*

I've read this thread 4x and still don't see where there is a link to the Rom that won't break your root. I've flashed the bootloader zip with the radios, but can't find the Rom with the updates for wallet, etc. Where is that?

The zip messed my radios up, but sprint sent an update and it is working, but now reboots several times a day, and won't send mms, things I expect the update fixes.
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] Captain_Throwback:
What exactly is your issue?

If you're already rooted, flash the stock rooted ROM linked below. Then you'll be up to date. I guess I'm not sure what you don't understand.

There's no other way to get the update and retain root. No matter what, unless you just flash the updated ROM, you will have to take some additional action to get root access back.

I am hoping someone can help me out here. I have obtained S-OFF via Lazy Panda. I've also been rooted using RegawMOD method. I've flashed the radio/pri combo pack via bootloader (PJ75IMG) from Captain Throwback with no problems at all. My radio has been updated to 1.05.11.0606 and PRI to 2.45_003.

I've been furiously been trying to figure out a way to get the firmware from 1.13 to 1.22. I found this thread and downloaded the .zip. I renamed it to PJ75IMG and ran it through the bootloader. It reads the file and gets to a point where it says "parsing" and then just quits. No, I didn't .zip . zip (double .zip the file name). What gives?!!
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] cubbieswin:
Captain Throwback, I don't know how to state my question any more clearly. I rooted my phone and got S-Off. I have not flashed ANY ROM on this phone. Do I have to flash the ROM to get all the updates? ALL of the updates minus the harmful ones. There's nothing I've found that explains clearly what to do.
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] JohnCorleone:
I am an HTC noob so I think I am understanding correctly here. If youvare,s off, flash one of the ROMs that is based on the new update then because you are s off the only thing you will have to do is,download and flash the new radio zip and you will be all current.

Hi, guys. As the title, & I'm looking at my phone.I'm an absolute noobie with this. I know I want to install a new ROM, as the battery life is pooh (one day) & it has a very limited amount of internal memory. The Wildchild lite ROM looks fine, but I've no idea how to proceed. Partition the SD card? How? Then find the ROM & place it there...etc, etc.

I've tried to search the FAQ's but so far no luck.

Anyone got a link, as I'm sure I'm not the first?

First and foremost...........Unlock your bootloader via HTCdev.com,you will have to create an account there(the instructions there are very easy)

Next up..................rooting your phone,i recommend searching for "Doomlord's easy rooting toolkit" on XDA..run it and you will get root

Next is installing the custom recovery,the easiest way is to download "Rom manager" from the Play Store.....open it and select "Download Clockworkmod recovery" and "Flash clockworkmod recovery"

Finally installing the rom.................for newbies, the best way to do so is via Rom manager..........Remember to backup your current rom in case you wish to revert back

And do remeber to wipe data, wipe dalvik cache before installing a rom
[HTC Wildfire S] baluuu:
Actualy.

1. Unlock bootloader via htc.dev

2. Download rezo609 wfs tool look it up in the development section

3. Use it to flash cwr.

4. Than flash wildchid ROM I'm

pretty sure it had instructions on how to install it via cwr.

5. Enjoy your new ROM

Keep in mind that these thing can brick your phone and will void the warranty. Also i hold no responsibility if any of these steps lead to your phone's early demise( i always wanted to say that, but srsly take caution and read carefully).
