HELP!!! I'm away from home and having major issues. I left my tmobile ppcpe on the charger last night and headed off to bed. When I woke up this morning, the charging LED was solid green. I took the phone off the cradle and tried to power up to no avail. There was no illumination of the LEDs at all. The phone wouldnt respond to the power button so I began to worry. After exercising every option I could think of, I decided to try hard resetting. No such luck. The battery led blinked red for a second, and the red phone hangup button lit weakly, but that was all. I still cant get the phone to power up and I'm in a very sticky situation here. Any help would be mucho appreciated.

This thread is for anyone to share their likes/dislikes, experiences, and general reviews of roms for the Galaxy S2 Skyrocket. THIS IS NOT A BEST OF THREAD!!! SO PLEASE DO NOT EVEN SUGGEST WHAT ROMS ARE THE BEST AS THAT IS A CASE BY CASE SITUATION! I am creating this thread because I have found that their is not one single good place to read reviews of all roms in one area. I hope this thread helps gather all of the users' experiences for all roms in one place. I think it is much needed. (I have noticed most threads covering a review of a rom get shutdown because they tend to ask "What is the best _______?")
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II Skyrocket SGH-I727] jd1639:
This will get shutdown too.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II Skyrocket SGH-I727] jayharper08:
CJ, I thank you for the effort, but I can assure you that this will end up like all the rest of them. Almost every rom has several post saying how much one cares for it and some kind of review of them. Someone sharing their likes or dislikes about a certain rom or developer will bring out "fanboys" of each, and it will go down hill fast.

Thank you for the effort though and trying to help members! Unfortunately I have just seen it happen to many times, no matter how the OP or posts are worded. :(
[HTC EVO 3D] ramjet73:
I don't normally post in the development forum but this is where the other OTA update threads were created.

The Sprint version of the 2.95.651.5 OTA can be downloaded here. It includes some firmware updates, patches and replacements for system files, and the Sprint Connection Optimizer app. There's a Sprint thread for the complete OTA update linked courtesy of oryan_dunn.

Here's a firmware only zip file for any Sprint Evo 3D user that is S-OFF and on the 1.09.00.0706 baseband level and would like to update. The stock hboot 1.58, recovery and boot.img have been removed so that installed custom versions of those files do not get replaced.

The baseband version should change from 1.09.00.0706 to 1.09.00.0108 and the PRI from 1.43_003 to 1.55_003.

ramjet73
[HTC EVO 3D] Flashalot:
Nice updated my firmware :) thanks ramjet
[HTC EVO 3D] troyboytn:
Thanks Ramjet!!! What baseband number does this update to?

edit: to answer my own question... this updates radio to 1.09.00.0108
[HTC EVO 3D] ramjet73:
Believe it or not, 1.09.00.0108. ;)

I know that doesn't sound right since the previous version was 1.09.00.0706, but the last four digits of the baseband version are the month and day (mmdd) of the build so it's effectively a 20130108 update of the 20120706 firmware release.

On another note, it's already been identified that the ButteredToast and Anthrax kernels don't have working WiFi when flashed with the updated stock ROM, but they work fine with the other ROM's they support and the updated firmware. The 2.89.651.2 version of Leedroid Tweaks also does not work with the updated stock ROM which is no surprise since a lot of framework files are replaced by the OTA.

Flashing the firmware updates should be no problem regardless of what kernel/ROM combination is being used, but developers supporting ROM's based on Sense 3.6 stock may have some work to do if they want to incorporate this OTA.

[HTC EVO 3D] Flashalot:
If we're lucky
[HTC EVO 3D] bigwillyg:
It sounds like the kernel might be slightly offset (if that makes any sense) kind of like when the 2.89 update came out and an updated mkbootimg was needed unless you first flashed a non aroma kernel first or used the flashimagegui app.. I wonder if someone can
[HTC EVO 3D] busventinc:
Thanks RJ updated firmware without a hitch much appreciated
[HTC EVO 3D] aoaleman:
Thank you ramjet! So if I read correctly, AOSP users shouldn't have any issues after flashing the new firmware files? Thank you so much. :D
[HTC EVO 3D] ramjet73:
Correct!

At least none have been reported to date by anyone including some VM users that got a similar OTA update a couple of days ago. It's mainly the radio and PRI so it should be pretty transparent to the ROM and kernel.

I took the update on stock Ics with stock recovery and locked bootloader with s-off and the update went fine.
[HTC EVO 3D] ohbuckeyeman:
Thanks. What does your version number read after the update? Mine says 1.09.00.0108. Weird that the version number would decrease. Did this change the PRI as well? I didn't remember to write down what it was before the update. I think it has changed as well.
[HTC EVO 3D] negamann303:
Your baseband is correct. ramjet posted earlier that the last for digits is the build date
[HTC EVO 3D] ohbuckeyeman:
Sorry for the repetitive question then. Thanks for the info. Loving your release 66, btw!
[HTC EVO 3D] ramjet73:
That's correct.

The baseband version should change from 1.09.00.0706 to 1.09.00.0108 and the PRI from 1.43_003 to 1.55_003.

[HTC EVO 3D] Unknownforce:
Oh, now this is cool... You can pull the firmware.zip and use it as a PG86IMG.zip and it includes the hboot... MUCH faster for downgrading, no more loading the whole damn RUU to flash the bootloader to brick!

How awesome!
[HTC EVO 3D] bigwillyg:
So...this update comes with a new hboot? Or a slightly updated one?
[HTC EVO 3D] ramjet73:
I did an UltraCompare on my PC of the 2.89 and 2.95 versions of the 1.58 hboot and they are exactly the same.

ramjet73
[HTC EVO 3D] Unknownforce:
Yep, they are identical, I'm not sure why they decided to include it, but it definitely works for the downgrade, and boy it's quick now!

Sent from 3D A.W.E.S.O.M-O
[HTC EVO 3D] ramjet73:
What baseband level were you on before flashing the firmware? If it was the 2.17 build you would be missing the updates from the 2.89 build. The firmware zip file is not cumulative which is why it is identified in the OP as an update to 1.09.00.0706.

ramjet73
[HTC EVO 3D] motoelliot:
I was all up to date with the 2.89, but when i RUU with that i still had no 3g, thats why i tried the 2.17...

[HTC EVO 3D] ramjet73:
That's strange.

The only thing I can think of is that updating your profile and PRL after flashing the firmware updates might have helped recover your 3G. What ROM were you running when you updated the firmware and tested 3G?

Hey guys,

I'm currently s-off with Revolutionary H-Boot 1.40.1100 Radio 0-97.10.0530.

I'm running a stock rooted version 2.17.651.5

What do I need to know or do before upgrading to ICS 2.95.651.5-2.89.651.2?

Thank you much in advance
[HTC EVO 3D] raptoro07:
What is the latest Firmware/Hboot you have done? Your Hboot and Radio indicate you have done up to the 1.13 update. I would find either the RUUs or just the firmware PG8600 zips for 2.08, 2.17, 2.89, and finally the 2.95 here and flash them in succession. There are important firmware files that are necessary in order to run ICS ROMs. You can always downgrade the HBoot and Radio after if you want. Maybe Ramjet can say for sure, but I think that this is the best thing to do since it appears you are way behind on updates.
[HTC EVO 3D] ramjet73:
Yes, I agree 100%. Your firmware is pretty old and you don't want to use this update unless you are on the ICS version (1.09.00.0706 baseband level).

Since you are S-OFF, my suggestion would be to use this procedure flash the ICS RUU, then flash the firmware update in the OP after completing that update.

ramjet73
[HTC EVO 3D] Captain_Throwback:
@ramjet73

You really ARE the "me" of Shooter-land. Nice post.

Is there a stock rooted version of this update floating around anywhere that doesn't require being on the 1.58 HBOOT? I'm keeping a stock rooted ROM in BootManager Slot 1 (for Profile/PRL updates and such) and I like to keep it up to date.
[HTC EVO 3D] ramjet73:
I haven't seen one yet but negamann303 put one together for the VM Evo V 4G March OTA so he'd probably make one for the Evo 3D too if someone PM's him the request.

ramjet73
[HTC EVO 3D] ZENGURU:
Great work! Don't know what I'm doing wrong, great input/idea using firmware, but I'm still in 2.89, PRI is 1.55 and Baseband is 1.09...

I'm S-OFF used tutorial from JNPR. Sprint 3D.

Don't know why I'm still in 2.89.. unless is like that???

If any of you can point out what I'm doing wrong, let me know.

Thanx.:confused:
[HTC EVO 3D] ramjet73:
The 2.89 is the overall build version that will depend on the ROM you have flashed. As long as your baseband version has been updated to 1.09.00.0108 your firmware was updated successfully.

ramjet73
[HTC EVO 3D] ZENGURU:
It keeps firm update coming-up... Might as well turn it off. Haven't flash any ROM yet, though Wifi not working???
[HTC EVO 3D] ramjet73:
Are you flashing the firmware only zip file linked in the OP of this thread or trying to install the entire OTA? The complete OTA won't install unless you are on the stock ROM and recovery.

My fiance just got the notice and installed this update on her 3D. She's completely stock. Luckily, she doesn't use the swype keyboard, but this updated hosed swype, doesn't work at all now. Other reports are that the swiftkey slide feature also doesn't work after this update.

Here's the official Sprint forum thread, with more of these reports:

http://community.sprint.com/baw/message/554375

Even if you don't use Swype, those that have installed it, test it out.
[HTC EVO 3D] ramjet73:
Thanks for the heads up. Most of the users that reference this thread are S-OFF and will be downloading the firmware only zip file which shouldn't have any impact on Swype. The complete OTA zip file was provided for reference and in case anyone wanted the firmware that was removed or the updated software files but it won't install without the stock ROM and recovery in place.

I added the link to the Sprint thread you provided to the OP so other users can get more information there about the March OTA.

[HTC EVO 3D] ZENGURU:

Ok so how do I update the firmware using this zip? Sorry but I am still learning...do I flash the zip from 4ext? I tried that but it was aborted. Can someone give me 1.2.3. Steps
[HTC EVO 3D] Captain_Throwback:
The firmware is a PG86IMG file, which means you must be S-OFF to flash it, and it must be flashed via bootloader.

Download file.

Rename to PG86IMG.zip.

Copy to root of SD card.

Boot into bootloader, zip should be recognized, and select yes to update.

After rebooting, rename file, move to a folder, or delete.
[HTC EVO 3D] chubaan:
:confused: im s-off and been using CM10.1 for a while now. i flashed it and everything went good. i then flashed hboot 1.50.5050JB, i was using 1.04. now everytime i try to flash a rom(CM 10.1) for instance, it will go into boot loop. not sure if this update has to do anything with it.. :confused:

any help?

EDIT:

Nevermind. i tried MIUI and it booted, then i tried CM10.1 again fresh install TWICE, but finally it booted now..
[HTC EVO 3D] ramjet73:
I don't think it's the firmware itself since well over 200 people have downloaded it so far and very few people have reported problems. Sometimes flashing firmware bits over time will result in booting problems so I suggest you flash the RUU and then the OTA firmware file immediately afterwards, or if you prefer just download and install the OTA while you still have the stock ROM and recovery. Then flash the custom hboot and recovery of your choice and you should be back in business and able to boot JB ROM's again.

The RUU procedure, excluding the installation of the OTA or firmware only zip after it is installed, can be found in this guide and should take less than an hour.

[HTC EVO 3D] chubaan:
will do that tomorrow!! thanks again! :good:

[HTC EVO 3D] DizzyNT:
as you can see been a while since ive kept up with all of this

I have device with

HBOOT 1.4.0.1100

RADIO 1.06.00.1216

have some TEAM DIRT AOKP Rom running Android 4.1.1

reading through this thread seems like my radio, firmware are very out of date. I don't care much for my current rom. Can I flash this OTA and get all of the firmware updates, or do I have to try and find each one manually and update them? And if I have to update them manually where can I find them as can't seem to find them!

thanks
[HTC EVO 3D] ramjet73:
Since you are S-OFF your best bet would be to flash the Sprint ICS 2.89.651.2 RUU then either take the OTA or flash the firmware only zip file from the OP to get the most recent updates.

It's pretty much the same procedure as I outlined in this post.

ramjet73
[HTC EVO 3D] DizzyNT:
thanks for the quick reply!

will give it a try

does the hboot get updated with all of this?
[HTC EVO 3D] ramjet73:
Yes, it will get updated to the stock 1.58 hboot.

ramjet73
[HTC EVO 3D] mpgrimm2:
And in case you missed it, don't be worried about the hboot. Since u are s-Off you can change it afterwards to any hboot you want. Ramjet73 has them all linked in his quick & dirty s-Off thread and also in the hboot differences thread in my signature.

[HTC EVO 3D] sternum_boy:
I have applied the firmware update and the baseband and whatnot updated, but the software version did not and I am still getting prompted for the OTA update? I am s-off on hboot 1.58 with teamwin recovery, I was full s-off unlocked through the NON HTC method prior to the JB OTA (which applied just fine). Phone is also having a lot of issues now, freezing rebooting and such.
[HTC EVO 3D] ramjet73:
Flashing the firmware won't affect the software (ROM) at all. What ROM are using? If it's an HTC Sense ROM you can turn off the automatic check in the system update settings and the AOSP based ROM's don't do that check.

There is no JB OTA unless you have an Evo 4G LTE in which case you are in the wrong forum and flashing this firmware would definitely cause problems.

Were you already on the 2.89 (1.09.00.0706) firmware before flashing the zip from the OP?

I'm 1.06.00.1216 and am s-off jbear1.50. I think I'm in desperate need of a firmware update. Can i use the flashable from the OP or is that too big of a jump on firmware versions?
[HTC EVO 3D] ramjet73:
You really need to flash the 1.09.00.0706 version from the Sprint ICS 2.89.651.2 build first since this update is not cumulative. There is a zip file for that update here (you want the first version) so you can apply that and then the zip file from the OP of this thread.

However, if you run into any problems like not being able to boot certain ROM's you may need to flash the Sprint ICS RUU using this guide, and then the update from the OP of this thread.

ramjet73
[HTC EVO 3D] jllbenson:
Done and done. Double firmware update complete without a hitch. Thanks Jet o' Ram.

Real quick out of curiosity, what is RRU at a technical level? Never had to mess with it. I've read about it a bit in the forums and i understand kinda what it does and how to update but that's about it.

For whatever reason whenever I flash the latest DU ROM or Evervolv ROM it shows a different baseband version in the settings, not sure where its pulling it from but it doesn't seem to matter either way I guess, just a weird thing.

[HTC EVO 3D] Taupakari:
I'm looking for help to get updated to the latest firmware version available for the Evo 3D. After being in a desk drawer for 9 months, I need to revive my Evo 3D to give to a friend who had his phone stolen. The phone's details are as follows:

S-OFF

HBOOT 1.58.0000

Baseband 1.09.00.0108 (I managed to get the firmware file to flash in the bootloader)

Software version 2.89.651.2 710RD_odex

Obviously the OTA update failed because I don't have the stock recovery or stock ROM. Trying to flash it through the bootloader didn't work, either.

Is there a flashable update.zip to get me to 2.95.651.6, or a series or updates that I can do to get to the latest version? I would like to be up-to-date with a functioning Swype when everything is done, but it seems that the availability of easy update zips or completely updated and rooted stock ROMS is lacking these days. I would really prefer to stick to a stock rooted ROM just with the latest software updates if at all possible.

Any help is appreciated!

[MENTION=275009]ramjet73[/MENTION] and others. I see we still don't have any source for the 2.95.651.6 RUU's. Since I just went ahead and reset my 2 Evo3d's back to stock/S-off as a backup here are the files I had to step through if you want to add or host them directly:

- PG86IMG 2.89.651.2.zip - 449.18 MB

Full RUU.zip for use in bootloader (rename to PG86IMG.zip & place on /sdcard)

- OTA_Shooter_ICS_35_S_Sprint_WWE_2.95.651.5-2.89.651.2_release_307948lagg6bmccb9c63ip.zip - 51.11 MB

2.89.651.2 update to 2.95.651.5 zip for use in bootloader (rename PG86IMG.zip & place on /sdcard ) or stock recovery (place in /sdcard/download )

This is the last official update that just downloaded to my phone after the other Ruu's/updates that were posted previously

- OTA_Shooter_ICS_35_S_Sprint_WWE_2.95.651.6-2.95.651.5_release_315505rm3j000awvlstw9z.zip - 10.59 MB

2.95.651.5 update to 2.95.651.6 zip for use in bootloader (rename PG86IMG.zip & place on /sdcard ) or stock recovery (place in /sdcard/download )

Wish someone with HTC/Sprint access would post up the latest full RUU. It was a bit of a pain stepping through the updates, but definitely easier being s-Off. Seems that if someone is S-On with the 2.95.651.6 update and can't get past step 13 of the HTC Unlock or needs to RUU back, their only option is Unknownforce's Hboot Downgrade Ultimate Toolkit and "Brick it Twice" to get back to an earlier version for Revolutionary S-Off and then go through the updates from 2.89 on up.

Hope this helps others.
