It doesn't make sense to me though Calkulin wimax was broken for me on 3.2.2 no matter what I did including flash the radio/wimax images in the beginning of this thread but when I flashed 3.2.1 after I had already implemented the radio/wimax updates all the sudden I had 4G again
[EVO 4G Android Development] Vinny75:
I don't know why mine isnt working then... I flashed the rooted 1.47.651.1 from http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=712695

Then I flashed the radio from this thread.. rebooted... flashed the wimax from this thread... rebooted.. no 4G

just flashed the 4G from Calkulin, no 4G =\
[EVO 4G Android Development] awesomeindeed:
FWIW, I am now using the 4G update from Calkulin and his connects to 4G right away and stays connected. I am using OMJ ROM v1.6 with both the new radio and wimax updates. Everything is perfect.
[EVO 4G Android Development] Vinny75:
What recovery are you using? Did you reboot between the radio and wimax? Which did you do first?

Something is really messed up here. I was finally was able to unroot my phone using the .6 RUU and load stock 1.32.651.6 with 1.39.00.05.31 BB and I'm STILL unable to get 4G! wtf?

The phone continues to do the same cycle Turning on... Scanning... Connecting to Sprint.... Turning off... over and over
[EVO 4G Android Development] cjacks519:
What's really weird is we all know that there's been 4G issues/fixes since custom roms first started to appear on XDA for the Evo. Could it possibly have something to do with the individual ROMs having 4G issues (as almost all of them have had at one time or another), and this has nothing at all to do with the OTA update files?
[EVO 4G Android Development] Calkulin:
I did a file comparison and it showed the same differences that 1.32 did, so maybe he meant he only used the kernel but he surely didn't update the system files

[EVO 4G Android Development] progenocide:
i haven't flashed new updates but my girl works at best buy mobile and told me few people have come back with evo having problems after update and she said phones where not rooted to her knowledge, she said shes pretty sure its the OTA update
[EVO 4G Android Development] Calkulin:
Well thinking about, no one ever updated WiMax individually, mostly of us, including me just used what was included in Toast's root PC36IMG.zip's. If you look at the WiMax versions in those zip's, you will see that the version in his Part 2 zip(24722) is older than that of his Part 1(25043_R04, which is the same as RUU_1.32.651.6), so that might explain some issues since Part 2 was released
[EVO 4G Android Development] halorin:
Had previously rooted and nand unlocked my phone through the Simple Root method. Installed Cal's Rooted Stock ROM with the new update. Flashed both of these zips. Baseband and all changed. 4G is stuck on scanning, and does not connect to network. The fix for this before was to rerun the Simple Root, but that doesn't work because of the update.

Going to try to run the Stock ROM supplied before, but HTC Sync won't recognize my phone. Fun times.. :)

How did you go back to stock? I'd like to do the same.
[EVO 4G Android Development] acrh2:
Something strange happened when I flashed this.

It didn't flash initially, just rebooted (I think). Then I went to flash something else, tried to get into recovery (ClockWM), and instead of recovery I got the flashing screen. It then rebooted into the android system.

I don't have 4G, but is there a way to check the actual 4G version somewhere?
[EVO 4G Android Development] awesomeindeed:
Using Amon RA 1.7.0.1

I flashed the ROM first, then rebooted into recovery, flashed the radio and immediately flashed Calk's wimax update and then rebooted.

I am having a different issue which is more important to me right now, though,... and that's the fact that I cannot update or install anything from the market. I keep getting an insufficient storage error and I still have 323MB free.
[EVO 4G Android Development] rlmurray:
Would like some feedback. Currently running omj's 1.2 and debating whether to go to 1.5 and wait for 1.7 to come out or install 1.6 and apply Calkulin's update.

I did the Wimax zip earlier today, and something strange has happened. For the first time since I've owned this damn time gobbler.... I mean phone, my time without a signal has dropped to 0% and is staying there. I was wondering what the change is? Previously I've tried every single trick posted in the forums to get that down to zero, and nothing worked completely, best I ever got was 15%.

[EVO 4G Android Development] thenewguy821:
Ok, When I click on 4G, it scans for a bit then the widget goes green. If I go into settings/about phone/hardware, it shows a MAC Address for 4g, but I don't get a lock on a 4G signal. I am in the Chicagoland area, so we do have 4G, but I may be on a Fringe area. Does this sound like the 4G is fixed on my phone? Without driving around, looking for a better 4G signal, this is the best I can hope for right now... lol
[EVO 4G Android Development] Vinny75:
Can you try installing something from the market?
[EVO 4G Android Development] awesomeindeed:
Reflash the ROM over the top of everything once you've updated the radio and wimax. It fixed it for me.
[EVO 4G Android Development] Vinny75:
ok... weird.. i tried to reboot into recovery... the system rebooted... looked like it was writing something then rebooted on its own.. and now I can install from the market

Got my 4g back working without having to go back to stock! I had flashed dc 3.2.2 today and then the two updates from this post. My 4g was constantly scanning. All I did was restore my 3.2 backup. Is this due to a flaw in DC 3.2.2 deodexed?
[EVO 4G Android Development] PlankLongBeard:
@peopleshelper

Okay, First, what rom are you running? Also, you flashed both the radio and the wimaxx update via amon or clockwork and both are running smooth as all of us.. But.. the issue lies in this..

With The OTA update by Calkulin Deo or Odexed, does your 4G obtain the ip address again and work as with the 1.32.651.6 .10 basband.. Cause here in Saddle Brook, NJ I see that only Bugless Beast V.3 or any .6 Rom works with the 4G, but, when I flash the .47 version it does turn on but does not obtain the address again.. So i think that the issue is (besides the actual writing of the wimaxx patch we await from Unrevoked or Calkulin) is the Rom.. The roms has patches to cover the access to Unannounced 4G networks..

So please try it with DC 3.2.2 which is the latest and if possible the OTA by cal and then you'll see when you flash Bugless beast it works with traffic..

Thanks.
[EVO 4G Android Development] HeartOFHatred:
Ok this worked for me to get back to stock with working 4g, it prompted me to update be i denied it for the time being.

restart into bootloader power + volume up

go into fastboot

then run the RUU and it WORKS!!! 4G again!

lemme know if anyone else has success! :D

So let me get this straight, we just flash the radio and then the wimax zips over the top of any rom? I did already apply 1.47.651.1 so should be good to go with flashing these, right?

[EVO 4G Android Development] runner77:
I tried both of these flashes and like everyone else, I lost my 4G.

I'm currently running DC 3.2.2 and I just Nand restored back to an earlier 3.2.2 (pre radio & WiMax flash) and I got my 4G back! Radio is still the same (2.05.00.06.10) but at least I'm back on 4G with everything else also working.

Maybe this method would work on those customs....??
[EVO 4G Android Development] PlankLongBeard:
Hey I want you to understand that if you did a back-up of DC that was using the .6 firmware then yes your 4G will work.. But any Rom designed and crafted to the .47 firmware will have issues..

There seems to be a locked section in the OTA for the access to the Unannounced 4G networks.. Cause announced networks have no issues.
[EVO 4G Android Development] sk63:
Correct me if I'm wrong, but as I understand it, the radio files are stored somewhere in memory unaffected by wiping or nandroid restores so once you have the radio you have it for life unless you flash a different radio.

Now with WiMax, I believe this is actually stored as part of the same files that get wiped and flashed when normally dealing with ROMs, hence restoring a nandroid should effectively remove the WiMax update and restore you to whatever version you had before.

If your having serious problems that are not revertible try this

-After your done reboot phone-add the radio .31 to root of sdcard (NOT THIS ONE) and again reboot to recovery

-flash the .31 radio as you probably did previously - reboot and congrats you will have 4G again and everything will work perfectly

-if you want you can now flash this radio/wimax again, they seem to work for me on damgae 3.2.1 but not 3.2.2

Welp I was able to flash back to the .6 ROM and and the 5.31 radio and got 4G back. I think I'll wait until someone makes a foolproof 2.00 radio before taking on the update. When you live in a 4G you get pretty spoiled by the speeds and don't want to go back to 3G if you don't have to.

[EVO 4G Android Development] pseudoremora:
Neotelos_com, nice job with this, works great!

I've seen some comments about the packages not being signed, so I went ahead and did it for you!:D You can use these if you want. I personally prefer Amon_RA's recovery over Clockwork, so yea.

Here are the links:

new_radio-signed.zip

new_wimax-signed.zip

M = Master

S = Subsidy

L = Lock

The MSL code allows you access functions when doing anything with the ##XXXXX# commands from the dial screen -- resetting or editing anything will require your MSL.

There's a thread in the development section that will show you how to get your MSL, otherwise you can call Sprint CS and see if they'll give it you -- just depends on the Sprint Rep that you're speaking with.
[EVO 4G Android Development] rjmjr69:
Any advantage having a signed file over a non?

Everything installed perfectly and quite easily for me no errors very fast. Dont have 4g here to test but will tomorrow. Def have new baseband running Damage latest rom 3.2.2.
[EVO 4G Android Development] pseudoremora:
The signed packages are for people using Amon_RA's recovery. There have been some users who get verification errors when trying to flash (like myself) -- the solution is to sign any and all packages that will be flashed, because Amon_RA's recovery verifies every package to make sure that it has a valid signature (a security measure -- which I like).

Anyway, I took the liberty to sign them for the OP, since I had to do anyways.

[EVO 4G General] TKardinal:
Help me justify to myself that I should NOT return my EVO and buy a DROID X. I do love my EVO, I have ZERO regrets about it replacing my iPhone, nor do I regret buying it instead of an iPhone4. I don't really want to return it, since I'm lazy and I'll have to park my number somewhere for 2 weeks and put up with a crappy phone, but my analysis gives me the strong impression that the Droid X is a significant improvement for my needs.

I was doing a quick Pro/Con analysis and came up with a lot on the DroidX side and not much on the EVO side. But the EVO advantages are very very big.

(BTW, I have in the past put custom ROMs on my WinMo devices, but I don't know if I ever will with these Android devices. They're so good stock I'm not sure it's needed or compelling.)

EVO pros

4G (ten times faster according to my tests)

Kickstand

Cheaper plan (We assume)

Unlimited Data (It's not clear the specific terms and condition of Verizon's data plan)

Frontfacing Camera (which is almost irrelevant to me)

DROIDX pros

Sharper Screen (say the reviews)

24bit color screen vs the EVO's 16bit color screen

Physical Buttons (I got used to hitting the front button, not top, to wake it up, with my iPhone, also leads to less accidentally pressed buttons)

Works in Metro (DC area)

Faster processor (there seems to be debate about this)

Noise Cancelling Mic

Better WiFi? (EVO has noticably shorter WiFi range in my house than my iPhone did, not just bars-wise but experientially)

Froyo DATE promised (summer 2010)

Multitouch keyboard

8GB vs 512MB on-unit storage

16GB SD included

Lighter by 6oz

No 30fps limit (stock)

Help me see what's better about the EVO over the DroidX.
[EVO 4G General] TheBiles:
Uh... The EVO only weighs 6oz...
[EVO 4G General] Aridon:
I'd move to the droid except for one thing that is a huge deal breaker for me.

Locked boot loader. Means no custom roms. Means it is unlikely to see a lot of developer support for the device.
[EVO 4G General] AssassinsLament:
I've been swaying back and forth with this also, but I'm really leaning on keeping the EVO.

My opinion:

Cons:

-Capped 2D & 3D, meaning choppy game play and graphical animations. (I play games but is it that important?)

-Uneasy "cheated" feeling HTC has always given us (not giving us the right drivers for graphics or other hardware)

Pros:

-Sprint has better rates/plans

-Front facing camera

-4G, by the time Verizon gets 4G, it will be time for a new phone.

-Easily customized (root, custom roms, etc)

I'm a developer, and I enjoy hacking away at the EVO. The hardware is just as good as the Droid X, except HTC doesn't always maximize the hardware. That's where customizing the software here at XDA will help.

Droid X, who knows when they will get root, and even then, will they ever be able to flash custom roms?

I say if you like your EVO, and games aren't that important, stay with the EVO.

If you want to go to the Droid X just because it's got "better" specs, well, you'd be getting a new phone every 3 months...
[EVO 4G General] eagle63:
@TKardinal

I'm in the same boat as you. Liking my Evo, want to stay with Sprint, but also want to make sure I don't miss out on what might be a better device for me. (while still within in my 30 day return window)

With regard to the keyboard, couldn't this be brought over to the Evo? I mean there's nothing hardware-wise that would allow the Droid X to have a multitouch keyboard... right?

The physical button thing is a biggie for me for the same reason you mentioned: I really hate reaching up to power button on the Evo. I would LOVE to be able to turn the screen on with a button the bottom/front. But with capacitive buttons I just don't think this is possible.

[EVO 4G General] itmustbejj:
24 bit color is less efficient on the processor than 16 bit. We live in a 32-bit world and 16 bit color is handled much better. Also you aren't really getting 24-bit color, they say it's 24-bit but it's really only 18-bit color and they away the other 6 bits.

I would post the images, but I'm lazy, but long story short you can't even tell the difference between 16-bit and 18-bit (which is what the 24-bit really is).

Also locked bootloader on the droidx means you might NEVER get a rooted phone, and even if you do all the devs will be over here cuz the evo is much more open to modding so that's where they will naturally migrate (and the nexus).
[EVO 4G General] Vandam500:
So based on all of that, AFAIK the Droid X only has 1 advantage that the Evo does not and that is the integrated 8GB of space. That vs having a front facing camera, 4G network/capability (Droid X isn't compatible with Verizon's upcoming LTE), and as other people have mentioned, support from the community for ROMs,etc and the Evo is still in my eyes better then the Droid X.
[EVO 4G General] norkoastal:
Get No lock to turn on the screen using the volume rocker.. Not quite the front button of the phone, but better than the top power button.

Things I cant get over on the Droid X..

No front facing cam

No kickstand

More locked down than necessary.

Enjoy either phone....
[EVO 4G General] pixelpop:
I have only had two HTC phones--the Touch Diamond and the EVO. I never heard any QA issues with the Touch and yes, there have been a few build issues with the EVO. But I can tell you this--I have about 15 years experience with Motorola hardware and my bet is that there will be as many, probably more, flames about the build quality of the Driod X as there have been with the EVO. So if you switch, be prepared for it.
[EVO 4G General] eagle63:
Let's not forget about the CPU advantage. That may end up being pretty considerable. Also, the no 30fs cap is nothing to sneeze at either.
[EVO 4G General] dekayte:
Why do people keep bringing up moot points?

The CPUs are comparable.

The 30FPS cap is gone, and before anyone brings up the fact that you have to root/rom it before it goes away. YOU'RE ON XDA. This has been taken care of and with enough time will be fixed perfectly by devs. Can you say that if something is horribly wrong on the Droid X? Good luck if Motorola doesn't feel that it's necessary.

Every phone is going to have pros and cons so just answer these questions. They're done in terms of importance, at least to me when I choose a phone.

1. Which one do you think looks better?

2. What do you do on the phone?

3. Do you care about open development or are you content with stock roms?

4. Do you care about how much you're paying each month?

But when it comes down to it. There is only one question you really need to answer.

WHICH ONE DO

YOU

LIKE MORE?

There have been so many threads about this in both the EVO forum and the Droid X forum but it comes down to a ridiculously simple answer. People are going to keep saying the same pros and cons that you probably already know, so just have a brain and decide for yourself.
