Quick question...

Last night I used this http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?p=29598100 by digitalhigh. Installed thru bootloader. Its a version of .firmware file that has hboot and boot removed. The installation went perfect and if i understand correctly it updated only the firmware and radio (not 100 percent sure).

After I installed that PG86IMG.zip thru bootloader I have the following set up

Juopunutbear s - off

Hboot 1.50.5050

Radio 1.09.00.0706

PRI 1.43_003

PRL 21090

Rom ZR3DX v2.1(ics)

After I did that I thought I would be good to flash any future ics Sprint based roms but now im reading that since I don't have hboot 1.58, future ics roms probably wont boot.

My question is how do i go about updating the just the hboot to 1.58 s- off (if I understand correctly since I already have s - off it will stay that way no matter what)?

Or can I re- install the radio and firmware that Virus has in the op and it will update the hboot for me as well, but will it brick my phone by updating the radio and firmware again since I already updated it yesterday? Sorry for the long post but this radio/firmware stuff always scares me lol. Thanks.

If I f,ash this, do I still have the ability to go back into recovery and flash or restore another ROM?
[HTC EVO 3D] johnnyphive:
Ok.....i'm on information overload here. I need to know a couple of things, if someone could help me out.

FIrst, a little phone info

Currently running CleanROM ICS RC2. According to the about:

CleanROM was designed to be a cleaned up Virgin Mobile Stock ROM Leak of Ice Cream Sandwich!

All HTC and Google Apps are up to date as of 5/11/2012. ROM is de-odexed and based on Leaked RUU 1.13.652.1. No special firmware required.

So, if i'm reading correctly, that ROM is built off the VM leak.

Software Info from phone

Android Version - 4.0.3

Sense Version - 3.6

Kernel version - 3.0.16-g4211684

htc-kernel@u18000-build-144 #1

SMP PREEMPT

Baseband Version - 1.06.00.1216

Build Number - 1.13.652.1 CL372137 release-keys

PRI - 1.42_003

PRL - 21090

Info From Bootloader

Revolutionary

Shooter XC SHIP S-OFF RL

HBOOT-1.40.110

RADIO-1.06.00.1216

eMMC-boot

So with that info, where do i go from here. I would like my phone to be have everything "upgraded" as though i'd never downgraded / s-off'ed with latest FW, Kernel, Radio, etc.

Is this possible?

Also, what are the difference between this ROM and the one posted here: http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1808332

Sorry, long winded post i know, but like i said, "info overload" and i really don't wanna eff anything up

Thanks!

EDIT: Forgot to mention that i downgraded via bricking, no HTC Dev unlocking done
[HTC EVO 3D] donjgmz:
Thx man! Everything else is working perfectly. Appreciate the hard work!
[HTC EVO 3D] mattsm:
follow op directions with what you have and all should be good.
[HTC EVO 3D] SITH16:
Ok, I flashed the firmware and now im bootlooping....anyone know how to get out of it?
[HTC EVO 3D] johnnyphive:
According to the OP

i'm not Dev unlocked...i'm on HBoot 1.4.....
[HTC EVO 3D] mattsm:
I was 1.4 revolutionary s-off, after following the op I am now 1.58 still s-off with all the lastest goodies.

if you are s-off, follow op and you are fine.

s-off is all that matters here.
[HTC EVO 3D] SITH16:
I was too, and now I'm bootlooping after flashing the firmware.

Edit...So I flashed the 2.17 firmware set and rebooted and it seems to be booting now. While I was downloading the 2.17 fw set I flashed the ics rom...we will see if it works.
[HTC EVO 3D] mattsm:
If you are bootlooping after flashing firmware:

Pull battery

remove firmware img from sd card.

put battery back in

enter bootloader with buttons

goto recovery and flash the 2nd and 3rd step

reboot.
[HTC EVO 3D] benny3:
have you tried reflashing the rom after flashing the firmware
[HTC EVO 3D] SITH16:
The rom is working. I pulled the battery as suggested and flashed the ics rom...I also flashed the 2.17 fw but it didn't take...it would seem that the battery pull and flash of the rom is what fix it.
[HTC EVO 3D] bignibb:
Issues I'm having. No Bluetooth like everyone else but for some reason I can't play Pandora through my data but I can over WiFi. Anyone else experience this or have a fix?
[HTC EVO 3D] turbotechnology:
It's been so long ago that I rooted this thing, and as I remember when I did it I used a guide that went the HTCDev route. In order to flash a ROM to the device using that guide, I ended up having to do something with my PC that got the phone into a custom recovery (which seems to be the only way to get to custom recovery using the guide I followed).

So my question is this... can you point me to a PROPER guide to the HTC Dev method of rooting since the one I used was clearly missing something? My concern is that if I relock, RUU the stock Gingerbread ROM, then take the OTA, I'll end up with the new hboot 1.58 and won't be able to install a recovery since I'll be s-on still like I am now. Am I getting this right? Forgive me for not knowing all this stuff. It seems WinMo was so much easier to do things with than Android. On the forums with my WinMo devices, I did more answering of questions than asking....
[HTC EVO 3D] benny3:
2.17 FW it should be 2.89
[HTC EVO 3D] mikeyxda:
I believe I found the issue with bluetooth. dbus.conf is missing from /system/etc. Gimme a few and I'll make a flash and you guys tell me if it fixes it.

OK... could you guys flash this from recovery and let me know if it fixes bluetooth for you?

BT working here and thank you very much sir!! i have 2 phones paired up
[HTC EVO 3D] Blasty007:
This is working for me. Thanks a lot!
[HTC EVO 3D] bignibb:
Awsome fix on the BT!!!!

You the man.

Now I can't get the wireless tether to work either the Sprint or the rooted one.

And I still have no idea why I can't stream Pandora over my data but runs smooth over Wi-Fi

Do you have any suggestions on how to fix this.

It just keep saying loading, and never starts playing but over WiFi it plays perfect.
[HTC EVO 3D] rrjskj:
Ok so let me get this straight if i download and flash everything from op i will still have s-off and an upgraded hboot ???
[HTC EVO 3D] benny3:
yes and you will be s-off
[HTC EVO 3D] mattsm:
Just tried pandora here over data and is working fine, so you not sure what is happening on your end.
[HTC EVO 3D] Blasty007:
WiFi tether works for me once I changed device profile to Generic ICS, enabled mss clamping and enabled routing fix
[HTC EVO 3D] rrjskj:
Is it suppose to say locked up top where it use to say revolutionary or did i completely mess up my phone??
[HTC EVO 3D] quickfixguru:
Go to www.htcdev.com and unlock your bootloader again, then run revolutionary again. Then flash cwm, and a superuser zip
[HTC EVO 3D] troyboytn:
If you were s-off before, you're fine, should still say s-off, that is all that really matters. You'll still be able to flash roms, kernels, firmware just as before.
[HTC EVO 3D] rrjskj:
Thanks for the heads up ...
[HTC EVO 3D] rrjskj:
Deleted my bad..
[HTC EVO 3D] SITH16:
Yes, When I was bootlooping though trying to get out of it, I flashed 2.17 fw.
[HTC EVO 3D] porkisyummy:
I am not yet on this ROM, but for CM9 and Meanrom ICS, I had to downgrade Pandora to 1.5.3 in order to get it working over mobile data. I found this fix in a thread where they reported that Pandora acknowledged issues with Sprint on certain phones.
[HTC EVO 3D] benny3:
he is s-off he doesnt need to do either. his bootloader is already unlocked

flashing a different hboot caused the lock or relock
[HTC EVO 3D] turbotechnology:
Tell me if this is normal...

I started out with hboot 1.5 s-off (wire trick method). Followed instructions and after first file in op my bootloader still showed s-off, but now it says "locked" at the top.

Finished all the other files and checked it and it still says "locked". Is this supposed to happen?
[HTC EVO 3D] scott420:
As long as your s off your good to go you can still flash roms,kernels n such
[HTC EVO 3D] :
yes
[HTC EVO 3D] SaintJimmy76:
Ya, I was having serious data issues on the vm ICS leak. 4g wouldn't work in market (sometimes 3g as well), couldn't download gmail attachments with 4g, and other issues. But now everything seems to be running like it should.
[HTC EVO 3D] HTCtx01:
Thanks Virus, it works great man!!!

quick note for few issues I had and solutions (for newb/noob like myself)...

1) when booted to bootloader, firmware didn't

prompt to install

(vol up). figured cause I had my USB cable still plugged in to my computer, so SD was not mounted.

2) When flashing firmware, it got stuck in last 2 steps... after waiting 10+ mins, just did a battery pull and rebooted to bootloader (volume down before it reboots), it installed fine.

3) after flashing firmware and reboot to bootloader, it kept trying to flash the firmware (every time). so took out the memory card, deleted the "PG86IMG" file. and from there on it was a cakewalk...

hope this helps few that might have same issues as mine... good luck!
[HTC EVO 3D] rigmort:
Bluetooth works great now. I can also confirm via very scientific testing (me calling my wife on my bluetooth headset) that there is a major improvement in the quality of the outgoing audio quality (what she hears on her end when I talk) from any rom or stock that I've tried it from on this phone in the past. Maybe it's the firmware?

THANKS

GPS off

Anyone having issues with GPS? I see the icon with a slash at the top. Maps won't load. Going to try and download a GPS tools app but any other ideas? I don't even see in settings where I can turn it on and off.

[HTC EVO 3D] nerv666999:
my mistake, I'm on ViperS1.1.0 which is a 4.03 4.0 so that might have something to do with it. Sorry for raising the alarm
[HTC EVO 3D] mpgrimm2:
Turbo,

You are right about what to do (as Benny said). You will end up with new hboot/fw, but u should be able to HTC unlock again. As long as u can get unlocked, you can push a recovery over with adb/fastboot, flash Su, & you're home free.

As a note of caution...when the 2.17 ota fw came out, it was discovered that the unlock code sometimes completed and didn't do anything (stuck at step 13 ). The only way to fix it was to flash the full Ruu, reboot & try the unlock again. ** I haven't seen a 2.58 Ruu posted yet. Only the update **

Also, I haven't heard of anyone with S-on taking the ota yet & unlocking again, so no one really seems to know what the outcome of that route is at the moment. Most are talking about getting s-Off to get the fw bits so they have the option to undue anything if needed. If I was still S-on, I would have tried your plan & if I couldn't root, just waited for it to get straightened out.

If you want an HTC Unlock refresher, see the Guide in my signature. Please post an update on your success with hboot 1.58 if you do (seems likely).

For wireless tether, use generic ics profile and enable routing fix and mms clamping.

for Pandora and other audio/video streaming issues, try ##3282#, edit mode,enter msl, tap advanced, select rtsp/http settings, replace both IPs with "0.0.0.0" and both ports with "0"

click menu then commit modifications....

and see if it works.....
[HTC EVO 3D] bignibb:
Thanks to porkisyummy for the tip on Pandora 1.5.3, worked like a charm. Now the only issue I'm having is I can't stream video from certain sites.........

Its as if I dont have flash player or an outdated one which isn't the case, any of you guys have a solution for this one?

Can I skip step 1 and still have successful instal?

e.i. If I don't install firmware can I still install rom and have functionality?
[HTC EVO 3D] sniperkill:
The newest OTA WILL NOT WORK if your hboot is 1.40. You will need to upgrade to the newest hboot in order to run the new OTA. As long as your s-off, you will still be s-off after changing your h-boot to the newest one. Virus has somewhere a firmware packaged up with the new h-boot and rcdata, rpm, etc... Just flash his PG86IMG.zip while your booted into your h-boot after you flash the rom and you'll be good to go.
[HTC EVO 3D] sniperkill:
No, you need to install the new firmware in order for the Rom to boot. HTC made it work this way for some reason. You will also need the new h-boot too. As long as your s-off you will still be s-off after you update.
[HTC EVO 3D] reekotubbs:
Thanks will try.

edit: after flashing the PG86IMG.zip file the top of the bootloader screen says locked.

Why is this?

It used to say unlocked. What did I loose and how do I gain it back?

Phone boots fine.

After steps 2 & 3 phone is boot looping.

What to do now?

edit 2: had to re-download PG86IMG.zip and update again.

This go around everything worked.
[HTC EVO 3D] avwheeler:
Know hard to see locked, but should see no issues, easy with soff to flash hboot 1.4 and quick revolutionary to go back to unlocked. For now keep it the way it is, New hboot required for any Rom New base.

[HTC EVO 3D] sniperkill:
Even tho it says "Locked" as long as your s-off, that's all that matters. You will see no ill issues. Mine even says "Locked". Don't worry about what the top of the boot loader says. Like I said, as long as your security is set to "S-Off" your good to go.

So once you flashed the PG86IMG.zip the second time, the "Locked" went away?

He didn't state he is S-off or S-on therefore going to do the steps i advised, would have hurt nothing; since he didn't state whether he was s-off still or not.

he did state it in a earlier post HERE
[HTC EVO 3D] incarceration:
So where is this firmware package that has the hboot, rcdata, rpm, etc for my situation being I have 1.40? Or are you just saying to flash that PG86IMG zip file that's in part of step 1 a 2nd time after installing the ROM?
[HTC EVO 3D] dgomez720:

Btw im s-off'd by revolutionary on 1.40 before..
[HTC EVO 3D] sarcoptic:
Just use htcdev to unlock the bootloader again...only way to go back to hboot 1.58 s-off unlocked.
[HTC EVO 3D] troyboytn:
If you were s-off via revolutionary 1.40 and flashed the new 1.58 hboot, you are still s-off..... even though it now says locked you are fine. You can still flash roms, radios, and kernels. S-off is ALL that matters here. DO NOT try to unlock with HTCDEV.

Hey guys, I need some help.

I have Touch Recovery, HBOOT 1.58, and this ICS Rooted rom.

My phone shows LOCKED S-OFF (I used the wire trick when I had 1.5 hboot)

I need to get back to at least the factory recovery, preferably factory everything else.

I have hardware issues with the phone and the guys at the sprint store won't do anything until it is back to stock.

Can this be done? What is the easiest way to do it.. at very least I need stock recovery!
[HTC EVO 3D] benny3:
Have you tried running a RUU? you can search for one here in the forums, look for the 2.17

[HTC EVO 3D] benny3:
HERE

this is another place to get them 3d RUU's
[HTC EVO 3D] dgomez720:
I don't see why they can't work on it... We do in Amarillo. Our only requirement is that before we touch it WE must return to stock. If we cant fix it after that, its a replacement.
[HTC EVO 3D] wmblalock:
I successfully ran the 2.17 RUU on the phone (actually found an old copy on my computer).

It seems to have returned my HBOOT to 1.50 from 1.58 which is good I guess.

But now the phone is stuck in a boot loop. It shows the white screen with HTC, then reboots, over and over...

I ran the RUU a second time, same thing.

Maybe the 2.17 RUU doesn't like the new firmware?

Should I try running a non-rooted copy of the ICS IMG file?

Anyone know where I can get that? All i seem to find is the rooted version.

Also, I forget what stock recovery looks like, what should the phone do when I go into recovery on a stock phone?

Right now it gives me a phone with a red triangle when I tell it to go into recovery.

I need it to behave correctly to make the sprint ppl happy.

And finally, is there a way I can make it S-ON? Right now its still LOCKED S-OFF.

Thanks for the help!
[HTC EVO 3D] snxxxxx:
But i couldnt make my nandroid backup rom with 2.17 firmware to boot here. Someone said i need to downgrade again my hboot. But i need someone confirming that downgrade my hboot wont loose my s-off. S-off proscess will loosing my flashed phone carrier and i need to flash it again which i hate to do it.
[HTC EVO 3D] wmblalock:
Because they are morons here in St. Augustine, FL. I have been there 5 times today, once stock this will be my 6th time.

The phone started overheating and shutting off when charging.

I know its bad hardware, but I am trying to be nice since technically they can give me the boot since its been rooted.

Then they tried to balem COOL ICS Rom which isn't causing the problem and never has.

In all actually the problem developed after I dropped my phone, but I didn't want to tell them that.

They are REALLY starting to make me upset today.
[HTC EVO 3D] dr.chucky:
They can't give you the boot. They can service rooted phones, they decided on that last year in April. Go to acsyndicate.net they have the document in PDF format. They will have to return it to stock and then try to fix it. I think that's the procudure
[HTC EVO 3D] wmblalock:
They gave me the old routine about how rooting voids the warranty.

I am trying to get them to replace it without me having to say I lost it and pay the $100 deductible to Sprint.

I just really wish they knew what they were doing here.

heres freeza's AIO it should flash the FW you need to match the hboot
