For what its worth, this Rom is the smoothest I've used. Way more so than 3.16. No glitches like cm nightlies. Doesn't seem to add any features, but super smooth.
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] SammyM00782:
I'm not sure what happened but after I flashed this and the firmware update my Google Wallet doesn't work. It opens and everything but it doesn't register the NFC I guess, so no Tap and Pay. I've hated this app since the update as it is and now it won't even let me use it. The pre-loaded Wallet won't open, promting me it's not supported and needs an update. Update and doesn't work. Just flashed back to MeanBean and it's working fine.

I'm gonna try the ODEX version and see if that changes anything.
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] drumwizard:
Got a quick question, believe I know my answer but I wanted a confirmation, I have a buddy that is s-on, hes currently running the 4.1.2 sense 5 port, if I were to flash this to his phone, it would update his radios, then I could have him restore a nand of the sense 5 port and his radios should be updated and good to go, right?
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] welshwarriorsf:
This thread is just the ROM. You need to go to the firmware thread to update the firmware and radios.
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] wezzlo115:
I believe the radios are separate. Look here http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1704612 :good:

Also, you must be S-OFF. Unless you go back completely stock. Which I don't see anyone wanting to do that.
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] Magnum_Enforcer:
Both of these are correct:thumbup:

ROM=software

Firmware=radios, PRI, etc.

You only get both with an OTA update or RUU, otherwise they are separate from one another.

I flashed back to the touch panel to use the new miui rom. I then flashed the updated radio zip. And I'm on this rom now. Everything seems to be working but I just wanted to make sure there aren't any known issues with using old touch panel with this rom?
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] Magnum_Enforcer:
No known issues. Some users have stated they could tell the screen seemed more responsive on the updated touch panel driver, however, I've used both and couldn't tell a difference in performance.

Now that you say it I guess it is a little less responsive. But I don't thinks it's noticeable at all. I would have never noticed if I didn't read your comment.

[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] 63sammo1:
Check out the OP. Good info.
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] welshwarriorsf:
It's usually a good idea to ROOT 1st and then update after since it's generally easier to root older firmware. You should s-off while you're rooting. Moonshine and the tool kit threads can help you with that.

Stock OTA Rom

I cant seem to run this ota rom. I'm currently running Mean Bean 3.09 with sticky settings and hboot 1.19.2222 with Dirty Raccoon s-off. I want to go back to a stock rom. I was able to update the baseband to 1.13.11.0830 and PRI is at 3.02_003. but when I try to run the PJ75IMG through TWRP 2.6.3.0 I keep getting a sig failed error. any idea what I'm doing wrong?
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] sharkie405:
Do you have the "zip file signature" option checked in TWRP by mistake? it's on the last screen before you slide to actually start the install. Also zips named PJ75IMG should just be placed on the root of the sd card and when you go into the bootloader screen it should automatically ask you if you want to start installing/flashing it.
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] Magnum_Enforcer:
Download one of the first two ROM's posted in the OP and flash in recovery. No need to rename. As stated by Sharkie, PJ75IMG files are run through the bootloader, not recovery.

[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] Captain_Throwback:
This might be an actual problem. I'll have to flash and check, but I might have missed some symlinks in the updater-script that link the new modules that affect this.

I'll do that shortly. Haus pointed it out to me a few days ago and gave me an updated script, but I wasn't sure I needed it. Looks like I might after all.

Not an idiot and not a genius... A little confused on which one to flash... Rooted, s-off using dirty racoon and running viper... I've read CTs other page, but yep, that's where the idiot part comes in, I've never done an ota this way so just don't want to screw up... Thanks
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] mmaccon:
Waited about 20 min then did a few resets and nothing. Reflashed the file and nothing. For the hell of it I downloaded and flashed the deodexed version and its just fine. Possibly a bad download of the Odexed version?:good:
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] Captain_Throwback:
Flash nothing from this thread.
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] barleysoda:
Your not taking an OTA. Your rooted and s-off so you dont worry about OTA's anymore. You wait for the Dev's that you follow to incorporate the lastest OTA's into the ROMs that you run. In your case you run Viper so you wait for the Dev's that work on "Viper" ROMS to update their ROM to the lastest OTA. It might not happen because the OTA offered little and has no real noticeble benefits so most DEV's may just wait for the Sense 5 upgrade coming in the next few months. However you can go through all the development threads and see if anyone is upgrading their sense ROMs to 3.17.

This thread is the stock ROM with the latest OTA. You treat it as a ROM such as you would Viper ROM or any other ROM. You do a full, clean wipe and flash it IF you want to run this completely stock ROM. If you just want to check it out then do a backup in recovery of your current Viper ROM, then full wipe and flash this. Then you can go back to recovery and restore your backup of Viper. Remember this isnt an OTA and cannot be added to Viper. This is a ROM and replaces Viper.

I see alot of noobs lately struggling with this so hopefully more people will read this and understand what an OTA is and what a ROM is. OTA stands for Over The Air and is an update to an existing stock OS from your cell phone provider or manufacturer. In the rooted world we DO NOT flash or take OTA's. We never take an update from our service providers or phone manufacturers because it may cause us to loose root or re-lock the boot loader or both. We flash ROMS that some Developer updated to the latest OTA and are designed for rooted users.

I can't seem to install the driver for V4A 2.3.0.1 from within the app. I'm running the deodexed version of this rom, am s-off, and have updated the radio through bootloader using the firmware update from the other thread. I've updated busybox, tried both SuperSU and Superuser apps, independently of course, to no avail. After the toast notification informing that superuser priveleges have been granted pops up, another notification window opens and says 'Driver install failed, please confirm your phone has been rooted and busybox installed'. I've tried reinstalling busybox, rebooting, reinstalling superuser and updating binary, rebooting, still nothing.

Here is what my bootloader says, if it helps:

*** UNLOCKED ***

[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] Captain_Throwback:
This seems like a question for the V4A thread?
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] goliath714:
Yes, normally, but I'm able to install the drivers in literally every ROM I've tried except this one.
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] tonyevo52:
Thanks Barleysoda... I actually thought flashing one of them would have updated just the update not the whole rom, but this explains it all... Thank you and CT...
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] Captain_Throwback:
Well it's not as if I did anything to the ROM, i.e. mod anything that would break it. If it's broken, then that's because of something out of my control.
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] goliath714:
It may just be a bad download, because GPS doesn't work for me and the voicemail app doesn't reach the servers when I try to update. I'll redownload and try again tonight. I came from an aokp ROM so that might have messed with things, especially GPS.

Firmware zip

So I've got the stock software 3.17.651.4 installed. Thank you Captain_Throwback for making this available. I scavenged up an external SD card for the firmware zip. Will re-flashing the software ROM be necessary after installing the firmware zip? Also, I read somewhere that to flash firmware the boot loader needs to be locked. Is this true?
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] Magnum_Enforcer:
No, you do not need to flash the ROM again after updating firmware. To answer your other question you must be S-off to update firmware.

Sent from my HTC EVO 4G LTE
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] KEB64:
Hey thanks. I installed the zip via bootloader and it seemed sucsessful, telling me to press power button for restart but the firmware is not showing up in settings. Is a cache wipe necessary? Going there now to wipe that and Dalvik and repair permissions for good measure.

The primary reason for me doing this is I must have the worst reception out here with Sprint. They promised me new towers and LTE by the end of the year and blah blah blah, but this was my only option for a major carrier at the moment so I took it. Really like this EVO too. So I'm wondering if this new firmware will help catch better signal or roaming at least.

I'm also still wondering (I am security off) if the bootloader needs to be re-locked for this firmware zip to take. Read that somewhere...
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] :
No, you don't need to be relocked to update firmware.

EVOlved human
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] KEB64:
Thank you EVOlved human. Then I don't know what I'm doing wrong. Put it on external SDcard2, Re-named the file to PJ75IMG.zip, auto-loaded from bootloader... thing is now even after I removed the zip from the card everytime I go into bootloader it scans for it. I'm going to try installing it again.
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] Dredz:
Bootloader scans everytime you go to it, rather updating or not. It is supposed to do that.

:cool:
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] Magnum_Enforcer:
The only thing that will change with the firmware update is the PRI & baseband. Nothing else will change.

The new baseband is 1.13.11.0830.

Also, for further issues regarding firmware, you should probably post in Captain's firmware thread instead of here to prevent any more confusion in this thread;)

I had to install busybox as well as it isn't included in the odex, which was easy. I got the same error with 2.3.0.1 version, I rolled back to 2.2.1.1-1 and put it in /system/app as rw-r--r--. It installed driver fine and worked after reboot. It is likely something with the auto install on the new version.

This was happening to me too. Because I have google voice, i was getting notified of A LOT of voicemails! I could call land lines, but mobile to mobile would just go to VM. I did a factory reset, re-flashed the ROM, and then updated the PRL, data profile, etc. So far so good!
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] chirodj5:
I have a stock rooted ROM 3.16... with twrp recovery..... and not sure if i am true s-off.

i wish to perform the update for two reasons.

1st is to allow for HD voice (which appears to be enabled in this update)

2nd is to get the notification for this OTA update to 3.17... to stop popping up in the notification tray

since this is my wifes phone, i would like to update it but ONLY if one of the updates listed in the OP acts like a traditional update and retains all her settings, apps, home screen, etc...etc...

is this the case with any of the 3 downloads listed in the OP?

if not, can anyone link me to a way to go back to full unrooted stock so i can perform the standard OTA ?

i have been searching around here since last week and can't quite solve this on my own , so i decided it was time to just ask
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] Captain_Throwback:
Nothing in the first post will delete any data. But unless you are S-OFF, you can't update the firmware to the latest version without taking the OTA directly.

So the first thing you need to do is determine whether or not you're S-OFF.
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] casiouser:
Well, my software version updated but my baseband did not...
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] Captain_Throwback:
Software version = this ROM/OTA

Baseband = Radio = Firmware = not this thread
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] Natodu:
When we flash the zips on Mik Mik.com does it upgrade the radio and firmware? Probably a dumb question. But how can I check that I'm on the most up to date stuff. My touch panel is being funky so I downgrade that
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] Captain_Throwback:
The firmware zips tell you exactly what's included in them. So, after updating, you should have the baseband and PRI indicated in the post.

It really is frustrating for me because I put all this information out there and try to make it as easy as possible to understand, and yet people ask the same questions over and over.

Hey Capt'n,

I've been reading the thread but I'm still pretty confused on some things; it relates to stock rom and updating PRLs. I want to update my PRL on my evo 4g lte and it seems like it's kinda like how it was back on my old hero: I would just re-flash back to my stock rom, give it time to do it's auto updates, then update PRL. When it was done, I'd re-flash back to my current rom in use. The way I've been reading is that it's the same way now on the evo 4g lte as it was on my hero but I can't find a definite answer; if it is, I'd rather flash back to a clean version of stock (something that doesn't have my apps installed in it and is quicker to get up and running - you know, something that is just the OS and what's necessary to get it running).

I was wondering if these roms were ok to use for this purpose or is there something else? Right now I'm on newest firmware, s-off w/ dirty racun, and using PacMan rom. Any pointers or pushing me in the right direction would be greatly appreciated.

Thanks,

Sin.

Hey Guys,

So I could use the first download link in the OP? It won't matter that i'm s-off, will it?

I just want to make sure I get new tower info (LA is kind of shotty at times) and I've noticed on a few roms that I've tried, there's no "update" option in the about phone section. Not like on the stock sense version. Unless it's hiding somewhere else that I'm clueless about, through. That's why my interest in installing a base-sense stock rom. Go stock, update prl, back to cm/pac/carbon/etc.....
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] KEB64:
Yes. You will be able to do all that. This is THE stock ROM rooted. The first link is the odexed ROM. That's as stock as it gets.

S-OFF is always a good thing. That way you can flash ROMs unteathred by your PC.
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] sindawe:
Ok. Thanks for the info.

I just didn't want to end up flashing something that might turn my phone into a nice black and red paper weight.
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] KEB64:
You're welcome. However, I'm sure you know there are never any guarantees when it comes to development. Also, hashing files is always a good idea to make sure your download is as expected. I use this myself->>

I don't think you can automatically activate "voice search" by long pushing home, only regular search. Then once regular search is up, you can activate voice by saying Google.
