Finally got it in Omaha after many, many attempts.

Updated to RA 1.8.0. Performed backup and then cleared factory, cache, dalvic. Rebooted and did ##786#. Phone booted into recovery and I cleared all again. Phone came back up and did the OTA thing but did not update. Immediately powered off phone and went back into recovery to clear factory, cache, dalvic x2. Powered off and did ##786# again, but this time did not do the manual clear factory, etc. Powered off phone. Waited 10 seconds then powered back up and let the OTA do its thing. This time I got 1.40.

I did not have to reflash new/multiple roms to make this work. Using Ava-FroyoV5 with stock kernel. Restored nan backup and still at 1.40.

I live about and hour east of Dallas and had no problems....took four tries if I remember correctly. It seems to be a really hit or miss kind of thing. There's times where my phone will switch between Sprint and roaming at my house, and maybe it's all based on tower signal strength or something. In Dallas, Sprint's towers are everywhere, but out here I might have a slightly stronger signal from a tower that isn't one of Sprint's which triggers the PRI update. Then again I don't know any of that for sure, but I did stay in a Holiday Inn Express last night.

[EVO 4G Android Development] Calkulin:
I'll be to differ on that line as I tried every hboot available, 4 different ROMs, plus multiple things and reflashing everything with a PC36IMG is the only thing that worked for me. Since I got up this morning, I've been trying(10 or so attempts) and once I flash the PC36IMG, on the first boot, it worked. Now it could of been my settings for the radio, wimax or other things but I do know that flashing the PC36IMG is what allowed the update to take as I had just tried it 5 mins before running the stock odex'd 2.2 ROM
[EVO 4G Android Development] freeza:
which pc36? O_O
[EVO 4G Android Development] Calkulin:
That one has the ENG hboot & custom recovery, so restoring or flashing a ROM is not affected but the ROM is not rooted(stock 2.2), so if you want root, you'll have to restore, flash another ROM or kernel w/ su, etc

My job requires travel from place to place. In this time, I have stood under Both Sprint and Verizon towers while trying to update PRI with no success. I tried both ##786# and ##3282# numerous times. It wasn't until I hit a site which had no Sprint signal until this worked. I was actually roaming on verizon when I did a factory reset ##786# and full wipe. Mabey it was just luck, mabey not.

Then again, I was at the point where I was just going to give it up....;)
[EVO 4G Android Development] Originalkingpin:
worth a try!!

Now this may sound crazy, but i tried getting this PRI all through the night and no go. Reading on this forum and someone said less signal is better, so for ****s and giggles I went through the ##3282# and phone rebooted after reset(did not go into any kind of recovery) once it rebooted i covered the top of my phone with my hand to attempt to dampen the signal to the phone. It went to the activation and the next message i got was different than the other times. This time I got PRL not updated, so i hit ok and then went to settings and checked once phone fully booted. I was at 1.40!! But I did notice my PRL had downgraded to 60662 from what I had 60669. So i don't know if a low signal helps but for those that keep trying to no avail, its worth a shot!! Good Luck!!
