Instead of emailing the Executive why not write to them as I did when I had problems with my M5000.

Got a reply in couple of days and all sorted in a week.

Personal polite and direct seemed to work for me!

Or you could just "fail" this one too and get it replaced!
[JASJAR, XDA Exec, MDA Pro General] afhstingray:
worried if i "fail" it :lol: they;ll think something fishy is going on since i was just refused a replacement

EDIT: The official link has been taken down. If you would still like to download the RUU anyway, I have uploaded it here and here.

NOTE: For those having issues updating via the RUU (drivers, Windows 8.1, etc), see this post for an alternative install method.

NOTE 2: There is an updated RUU (4.13.651.4) which was released to some testers from HTC. The update fixes the data roaming issue. It hasn't been released officially, but there is a download link for it here and a mirror here.
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] bill875:
Excellent! Thanks Captain :)
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] ahecht:
Interesting, I don't think I've ever seen an official update that voided your warranty before.
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] jporter12:
Should I be worried that it's been stuck on the "sending" screen (on the PC, Windows 7) and the phone on the HTC logo for over 30 minutes?

---------- Post added at 11:47 PM ---------- Previous post was at 11:29 PM ----------

I restarted it, and it's going this time. No idea what the deal was, but it's working now! Loaded and first booting.
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] djmadclass:
It works,the only thing is supersu. I have to fine one that works with 4.3.
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] Captain_Throwback:
Not sure what SuperSU has to do with this RUU, but you should be able to flash SuperSU fine (as long as you're using the recovery from my thread).
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] Deathalo:
So to clarify (sorry if this is a stupid question), but will this keep root? Just have to flash SU after? I'm rooted and s-off right now with custom ROM.
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] Captain_Throwback:
This is an official RUU from HTC. You will lose root and custom recovery. You'll have to flash the custom TWRP from my thread or Philz's modified CWM, and then you can flash SuperSU for root. Make sure your bootloader is unlocked after running this though - otherwise you won't be able to write permanently to /system.
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] djmadclass:
Thanks, captain. I figure it out. I used the modified twrp.
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] Skid71:
Can anyone using this RUU comment on if their bootloader is still unlocked after?

Still on hboot 1.12.2222 (I think) and can probably figure out flashing supersu through TWRP after I flash TWRP.

Captain, can you link your thread? I've only used your zips for flashing firmware bits, radios, etc.

Thank you,

Skid
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] Captain_Throwback:
My bootloader stayed unlocked the entire time. My thread is in OG Dev. If you flash the RUU, you'll only need a recovery.
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] c3T:
I'm experiencing a weird problem with the update. HTC beats audio doesn't enable unless I do the refresh on the blink homescreen or if I disable it, and enable it via settings. Once it goes to another track, it turns off again despite showing the icon that means it is on. I have to repeat the said steps to get it on again. This is using the HTC music app, and Google Play music app. Anyone aware of this? This is all stock with the new RUU.
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] Captain_Throwback:
I believe that's a known issue.
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] c3T:
Okay, thank you. I tried searching on Google, and I did not find anything. Will they address this, or is it unlikely?
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] Captain_Throwback:
Well they knew about it before giving us the final version and they didn't fix it. That suggests to me that it's unlikely to be fixed.
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] kbrn:
Thanks for this, downloaded and I'm gonna give it a shot, I'd like to root after, but I'm a bit confused, Where do I get the modified twrp? and also a little help on how to flash it cause it's been a while I flash something to my evo and with all the keeping up with my note 2, well I feel like new to the htc evo again.

Thanks!
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] Captain_Throwback:

Will my phone stay S-off after taking this RUU?
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] Valsorim:
i thought i read somewhere that needed to relock bootloader, so i did, caused me lots of problems trying to flash ruu. it wouldnt complete ruu, got some htc_fastboot.exe errors, had to restart ruu 3-4x...finally decided to unlock bootloader again and give it a go. completed, no issues so far, all is good again. now shows only unlocked, not tampered unlocked as before ruu
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] numel007:
Update recovery.
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] markb629:
What do you mean flash anything new? If you're trying to flash anything not based on or adapted to work with the new releases partition layout then no it's not gonna work. Explain more.

---------- Post added at 09:22 AM ---------- Previous post was at 09:03 AM ----------

Wait this is the ruu thread, why is anyone posting about flashing Roms or anything else in here? This is for running the official ruu from HTC. After this you should be going to the proper threads for whatever Roms you're trying to flash and reading OPs and Q+A sections at least! Skim thru the thread looking for any known problems and fixes that never made it to the OP, making sure you have everything you need or want downloaded and ready to go. There's tons of info on here as far as tutorials for the stuff anyone who is trying to do any of this should probably have already done and known if you're to the point of flashing. HTCdev unlocking, adb and fastboot flashing recovery, s-off-ing. And if you're more visual like me YouTube has many many many video tutorials by multiple users.
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] jarheadusmc67:
this is what i have i flashed Captain Throwback's rom

HTC Jewel

Hardware Version: 0003

Baseband: 1.13.11.1105 |

Recovery: TWRP 2.6.3.1b

i try to flash [ROMS] AOSP-based ROMs that support updated partition layout they will fail when I try to restore my backup it will fail say no os installed but it will restart and i did do a wipe and system wipe what did I miss.

Thanks for the help

---------- Post added at 05:10 PM ---------- Previous post was at 05:00 PM ----------

will not let my flash recovery will it stops and says power to restart

---------- Post added at 05:18 PM ---------- Previous post was at 05:10 PM ----------

sorry wrong thread was the closest one i could find.
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] markb629:
Not sure cause I don't flash aosp too often but if you're not s off I don't think it'll work, again not too sure. If you're wiping system, data, cache, and dalvik (some say do it 2 or 3 times) and it's not working I'd have to say re flash the recovery. How you trying to flash it? You sure you have the right recovery? If you've tried all the aosp Roms compatible and none are working maybe your phone's one of the ones that don't agree with aosp. The only other thing I can think of is make sure you're downloading the most updated Rom zip, not an older version.
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] numel007:
If you're trying to restore a backup of a rom not based on the new partitions, then yes it will fail. Simply restoring with the new recovery won't make old roms work with the updated partitions.
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] jarheadusmc67:
it was restore of the 4.3 i just made of this rom
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] numel007:
The rom was 4.3? What rom?
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] jarheadusmc67:
Captain Throwback's rom for [ROM][FIRMWARE][RECOVERY][STOCK] Sense 5, Android 4.3 Final Update - 4.13.651.3

lol sorry was not enough info
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] numel007:
Hmmm I really don't know what else could be an issue then. Have you tried running the RUU?
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] jarheadusmc67:
was thinking about it tried i have win 8.1 it crashes so i think i will leave well enough alone it works stop b4 i brick it
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] tommy_riley:
Did you try removing the google account and re-adding it?
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] Morphixs:
I figured it out. I went to bed at 2 am frustrated then jumped up 2 min later with an idea. I don't know when it happened but it did... My email address on the Google server has the first letters of each word capitalized. So I guess it is case sensitive. Odd thing is my email has always been lower case and why did half of the Google apps sync before if it was wrong.
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] jb0134:
I'm also having problems with Google syncing. I get a sign in error for my primary account. Interestingly enough I sync my wife's calendar to mine and her gmail address works with no problem. I think this may have something do with the two step authentication I use for my gmail address.

edit: After trying various two step authentication methods for Google I had to turn off two step authentication to get it to work.
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] ahecht:
I'm having the same problem as well. I'd hate to have to turn off two step. Have you tried using an application-specific password instead of your normal password and a six-digit code?
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] jb0134:
I tried to use app specific but couldn't get the keyboard to let me enter letters. As for the ten digit (or however many it is) code: that didn't work either. So while at my computer I disabled two step auth, logged in on the phone, and re-enabled two step auth.
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] ahecht:
You enter the app specific password at the password screen, which prevents your phone from ever going to the numeric code screen.
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] jb0134:
That's probably where I went wrong. It's been a while since I used it and I didn't bother reading the directions.
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] Minions:
Wrong thread. Sorry.
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] rodohmes:
Does anyone know why I'm not able to connect to 1x data in this situation? It appears that I should be able to, but even with data & data roaming on it gets disabled for some reason (like in the screenshot). It connected fine in the same location before the 4.3 update.

(I'm currently on Sense 5.5, but it's the exact same on the stock 4.3 Sense ROM & even AOSP)
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] AarSyl:
Are you using the latest .4 update, or .3? If you are using .3, then you might be suffering from the data roaming bug that was fixed in the .4 update.
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] rodohmes:
I flashed Captain Throwback's zip he created today with the important changes (wiped caches), but didn't see a difference. I'll use the newest RUU (is the latest even in RUU form?) when I can get ahold of it and see if it changes anything.

This frustrates me more than it should, haha. The 1x is really slow anyway, but it worked before & I hate to think my phone got LESS useful after an update.
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] Blazin Chaos:
What is really upsetting is that we have to worry so much about getting our roaming feature to work on our phone due to weak and poor signal!! DAMN SPRINT!!

[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] FusionX:
But it looks like you may have uploaded a new version of the deodex rom :silly:

Going to mess with that when I get home... I flashed the .4 rebase zip yesterday and now data roaming issue came back (haven't had it all week) so I'm hoping a clean install will fix that one.

Thanks cap!
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] Captain_Throwback:
If you had previously made the roaming mods to the ACC/default.xml file, then it would most likely mess up your roaming (eventually).
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] FusionX:
I did indeed make the mods the the default.xml file! Will revert to a stock default.xml.

[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] IM0001:
So as I thought. .3 Isn't really the end... We may not be done till a .5 at this rate.

Also aside from the .4 fixing the Roaming issue with a clean flash, does it also fix the mentioned Beats issue as well possibly?

Have to admit HTC has been sticking to it which is actually amazing to see this late in a devices life (in this day and age.)
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] tommy_riley:
I'm also thinking they are working on another rev (.5) - the folks that emailed them a few days ago got the .4 update but they have not responded to download link requests in the last 48 hours or so (at least from what I've observed on this and other forums, myself included. I imagine early next week we'll see a .5 rev with emails sent for us who have reached out to dogfood the build. I've been giving feedback to them on both builds - I bet they want more eyes on it after the next build
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] IM0001:

[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] jtsarnak:
So I just purchased a used EVO LTE as my GS3 broke over the weekend. I read up on this Jellybean 4.3 update and it eventually lead me here. I have no problem running the RUU if necessary but what I haven't seen is any reports on the stability of the .4 release.

The only reason I'd consider updating to 4.3 is for the open partitions but it is far more important to me that things like roaming and wifi work reliably. Is .4 relatively trouble free?
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] Magnum_Enforcer:
Yes, the latest release is quite stable. I've been on 4.3 since it was released and I've encountered very few problems. Data and Wi-Fi both work reliably. The .4 release has some fixes that the previous two releases (.1 and .3) didn't have, so it's best to use it.

Sent from my EVO LTE
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] SilverZero:
Also the .4 update includes roaming on by default (we had to hack it on the earlier releases as it was disabled) so there's really no reason to use an earlier RUU.

M using Evo on some other carrier .So if I upgrade to 4.3 via RUU ,will it change my PRL & NV parameters???

If yes then can I get into diag mode and flash NV & PRL manually via Cdma WS.??
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] jtsarnak:
Thanks!

So I received my used EVO LTE today and it's in great shape. I followed some instructions I found and unlocked the bootloader.

What is the next step? Do I just download the .4 version of the RUU executable, connect my phone to the PC via a USB cable and run the .exe?

I really don't understand much of the rest of the stuff I've read about TWRP recovery or root access or S-OFF. I just want to be running the new partitioning in a stable fashion. Any newb help would be greatly appreciated.
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] onefasttreopro:
You're gonna have to relock the bootloader in order to do an RUU install...it's basically a factory image of the software and phone has to be in a locked factory condition...unless you are s-off (whole different procedure) which in that case it's out of my realm of knowledge.
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] jtsarnak:
Thanks! So is the process just connecting the phone to the PC and running the RUU executable?
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] SilverZero:
Yes, basically. There's trouble if you're running Windows 8.1, so if you can do a Windows 7 machine it will be that much better. Be really careful not to disconnect the phone while it's running the RUU (could take 20-30 minutes or so). I have a janky USB cable so I never would have even attempted it, but there are workarounds too.

You will need some other software installed on your PC to run the RUU, things like HTC Sync and the included drivers, if I'm not mistaken.

I'd really recommend getting your phone S-OFF before you do anything. Search for tutorials and methods, it's a good safeguard against getting locked out of being able to do any more fun mods down the road. I'm pretty sure you don't need to re-lock the bootloader if you're S-OFF (correct me if I'm wrong on that, anybody - I didn't have to, so I'd assume that's universally true). Then run the RUU. After that, you can install TWRP and start flashing custom rooted ROMs, if you so desire.

By the way, I'm not fishing for this myself, but I know a lot of people really appreciate when you hit the "Thanks" button on the posts you like, to add to the poster's rep. Just like [MENTION=1757143]onefasttreopro[/MENTION] and probably many, many other users are going to do to this one for bringing that up. ;)
