PM sent. THANKS!
[EVO 4G Android Development] Goonzy:
What? No love..? If someone bites you u bite back.Right? people gave me so much **** ..its coo. have a great day!
[EVO 4G Android Development] mikev43:
yeah and I'm pretty sure it was more than 2 people..

not to mention even if you did claim this it's EXACTLY the same as what he posted minus some steps.. but the fact remains he CLEARLY is the one who figured it out.. and yeah I agree with kyle that he was being a total prick but you can't claim you found it after recognizing the steps minus the whole flashing this image etc...
[EVO 4G Android Development] Goonzy:
yes sir.:cool:
[EVO 4G Android Development] kyleblakepeters:
I have an issue, not saying I won't. Still waiting on that PayPal link. But for future reference, detailed documentation, along with proper english will go A LONG WAY for future posts.
[EVO 4G Android Development] :
I am not sure anybody figured anything out. It is my conclusion from what I see is that now when you do ##786# reset they are now pushing the updated PRI 1.40.
[EVO 4G Android Development] zikronix:
hes out of the office for the night so i cant get your msl...sorry but they should geive it to you from sprint chat.
[EVO 4G Android Development] SteelH:
Just did this twice, total waste of time. It did NOT update my PRI on my rooted Froyo ROM.

Three strikes is out for me, no luck.
[EVO 4G Android Development] rileyd5:
good to know! trying it now. when he says wipe everything, does that mean wipe factory/data, cache, dalvik, battery stats and sd: partition as well as rotation settings? thanks guys!
[EVO 4G Android Development] zikronix:
Thats what I did
[EVO 4G Android Development] kyleblakepeters:
No worries, giving Sprint Chat a shot now....should I just be blunt and ask for it outright?
[EVO 4G Android Development] rileyd5:
thanks man!
[EVO 4G Android Development] Goonzy:
Its clear that you found a method within my method... The bounty was about the first person to find this out.. I also have over 20 within my guide, u simply used my info to try to compete with me.. if u found this out on your own why not sooner? had to be the same day, ehh? FISHY
[EVO 4G Android Development] dagnasty:
I went down the list and did them all
[EVO 4G Android Development] zikronix:
Rooted via toast

Nandroid

##786# MSL > Wipe

Power on boot in to amon_ra recovery

wipe dalvik, data, rotate, battery, cache....If its on the list WIPE

reboot

Hands free activation

Check pri
[EVO 4G Android Development] :
It is getting pushed to the non-rooted/previous rooted phones now so the technique that goonzy proposed may be tricking it somehow for rooters.
[EVO 4G Android Development] Goonzy:
paradoxgoonz@gmail.com is my paypal, thanks:o
[EVO 4G Android Development] cj10488:
I just got here to see this.. To be frank this was not working 2 days ago when Ava and I went thru this. We tried for hours. Look back in the thread. Both he and I called HTC Engineering regarding the PRI and an HTC Engineer was looking into it and said it would be resolved in a couple days. Aparently when it was supposed to pull the update from the servers it was not doing so. My guess is I will have an email later tonight from HTC saying they resolved it. Ava originally figured this this out but it was not workin at the time.

Furthermore I backed out of running the bounty due to my time being limited though I did state I would pay my initial offer still.

I can confirm this does work.

Someone took over running the bounty after I had to give up but I dont know who.

As far as who gets the bounty I will leave that up to the community and follow suit. IMHO I think it should be avalaunchmods as he was the first to mention this to me days ago however HTCs server was not acting correctly and we both contacted them about it with a solution of we will look into it and get back to ya.

James
[EVO 4G Android Development] zikronix:
The main difference between mine and goonzy is you still have true nand with my method. It's easy and works.
[EVO 4G Android Development] zikronix:
As far as I know HTC doesn't push pri they merely give Sprint the tools and sign the files
[EVO 4G Android Development] DataDork:
Darn it.. thought it worked ..my dislexic ass thought i had 1.40 hahaha.. hands free 2x and still on 1.34
[EVO 4G Android Development] zikronix:
And as far as bounty goes. The way I look at it if my method fixed your pri then donate to me using the link in my Sig if not then let's figure out why. If some one else's method helped you then donate to them. But keep in mind that my method is about 10 times easier. And you actually keep full toast root
[EVO 4G Android Development] tyrnight:
I did not get the updated PRI as well.. it didnt work. I tried it twice..
[EVO 4G Android Development] SteelH:
Exactly, until someone can determine why some can seemingly update while others can NOT, I would NOT call this problem solved.
[EVO 4G Android Development] zikronix:
What Rom. What recovery, are you toast or unrevoked.

I used anon ra recovery , toast root originally, never unrevoked using dc 3.5
[EVO 4G Android Development] sgt. slaughter:
See the post quoted below??? Seems like Ava should get it. He came up with the idea, all that has really been done today it seems is people realizing that the PRI is in stream now and reporting the method is working.
[EVO 4G Android Development] Doward:
It will, just try again. I flashed from netarchy's kernel back to stock 2.2 (running 2.2 stock rooted here) and then it picked up 1.40 PRI
[EVO 4G Android Development] SteelH:
Look here --> http://xdaforums.com/showpost.php?p=7643418&postcount=205
[EVO 4G Android Development] SteelH:
Which ROM are you running?
[EVO 4G Android Development] rjmjr69:
This problem is over solved it takes a few trys to get the phone to pick up the PRL update but it DOES INDEED WORK. I have 3 count 3 phones now with PRL 1.40 there are now well over 30+ people who have successfully gotten it to work INCLUDING THE ADMIN Of XDA so either stop making up storys or get some real proof

Goonzy deserves the bounty without a doubt. Dont be mad cause you didnt figure it out
[EVO 4G Android Development] zikronix:
U did the ## then told it to wipe booted right in to anon ra wiped down the list from top to bottom and rebooted and let it do the hands free. Maybe your service area idk
[EVO 4G Android Development] cj10488:
For those that are in doubt check post

James
[EVO 4G Android Development] OMJ:
well I'll be damned....this is now working...got PRI 1.40_003

I had tried this a few weeks ago with no luck.....
[EVO 4G Android Development] kcodya:
6th try of ##786# and wiping everything twice in recovery, still no go.

Full rooted, Fresh 3.1, netarchy 4.0.3
[EVO 4G Android Development] rjmjr69:
uuggghhhh with the new info to light I say a split may be do considering Goonzy was officially the first to get the prl and post about it. I agree that AVA did post that info but was not successful Goonzy was
[EVO 4G Android Development] rjmjr69:
I had to seriously do it over 15 times with one of my phones before it took. One only took two tries the other 3
[EVO 4G Android Development] DataDork:
im going for my 3rd try..

##786# then MSL reset code..

reboot into amon ra.. full wipe on everything..

reboot ... hands free activaction. then prl update..

check pri.. still 1.34.... located in west LA, ca .... rebooting now..
[EVO 4G Android Development] zikronix:
I guess if you want a modified hboot missing fast boot commands. Sure. If you want to flash things that you don't know what they are doing sure. My way is definitely clean. I already mentioned my feelings on the bounty. If my method worked for you or you like my method then me if not then whoever else
[EVO 4G Android Development] rjmjr69:
See here another WELL RESPECTED DEV HAS GOTTEN IT TO WORK CAN PEOPLE NOW BELIEVE?????

SteelH still doubt?
[EVO 4G Android Development] Doward:
Running:

Stock 2.2 Rooted *.6 OTA HTC Rom with Netarchy's 4.0.2 kernel.

Did the ##768# / Reset / MSL

The phone will then reboot into Recovery.

I then wiped Dalvik Cache / Cache / Factory Reset (in that order, I'm using Avon Ra for recovery here) all in that order.

Rebooted out of Avon Ra Recovery.

Hands Free Activation comes up, skipped through everything, still had 1.34 PRI.

I then rebooted BACK into recovery, flashed the stock HTC 2.2 Froyo kernel, and started back at the ##768#.

The 2nd time I got 1.40 PRI!
[EVO 4G Android Development] cj10488:
Actually It would have been successful if HTCs server or Sprints or whatever was working correctly. They were not even aware the issue existed until they were informed.

It was not mentioned in AVAs post this method as we wanted to make sure it worked prior to posting. The very next morning both he and I was on the phone with HTC engineering trying to figure out why it did not work.

James
[EVO 4G Android Development] SteelH:
First of all, I did NOT say it didn't work. I didn't make anything up. I said it worked for some and not others. No one has an explanation why. Re-read what you quoted me on and you'll see.

Secondly, I posted proof HERE.

Lastly, why are you assuming I'm mad about not figuring it out? I was never attempting to.
[EVO 4G Android Development] zikronix:
Look at the questions I asked steelh. And try again check you level of service.

Also for what's its worth I noticed no speed differences all though my pings are lower but not earth shattering
[EVO 4G Android Development] SteelH:
I am going to swap back to stock kernel and see what happens. Perhaps this will explain why some are able to update and other are not.
[EVO 4G Android Development] Doward:
Honestly I think the bounty should go to XDA.

It's quite clear that a few people behind the scenes were working on this.

Goonzy just happened to rock it at the right time.

Honestly, the fact of all the extra 'fluff' (unrevoked and other BS) just shows that he didn't understand HOW it had happened, only that it had.

Donate to XDA, because the forums rock.
[EVO 4G Android Development] M@XLOL:
can someone link me to the ota 2.2?
[EVO 4G Android Development] Doward:
Give it a whirl with the stock HTC kernel...
[EVO 4G Android Development] cj10488:
As far as the bounty goes I would have to say ava gets it as he came up with the fix first. It was not his fault that there was an issue with HTCs server/Sprints server whoevers it may have been. My money goes to ava as he came up with the fix in all fairness. He also kind of gave away the method in his post.

I have been constantly working with HTC for hours trying to get this resolved since the first morning after avas' post. I know he was on the phone with them for a while too.

James
[EVO 4G Android Development] Doward:
I'm OK with that.
[EVO 4G Android Development] zikronix:
Fair with me, I made my feelings about the bounty. Another note I'm running netarchy 403 but if you did a wipe a full wipe I would think you should be running you choice of Rom with what ever stock it came with
[EVO 4G Android Development] sgt. slaughter:
Waiting to hear your results here as I too am running a modded kernel and would rather not waste my time if you need the stock kernel to pull it quick.

Also just to quadrupple check, after doing the ## and getting the new pri I'll still have clockwork on and can reboot into recovery doing the volume button power on trick and restore my last save and keep the pri? Or must you reload a new rom and start over?
[EVO 4G Android Development] SteelH:
Does anyone have any idea why it works 1st time for some, 3rd for others, 6 for someone, and not all all for a few of us?
[EVO 4G Android Development] rjmjr69:
Nope I had nerty installed latest version
[EVO 4G Android Development] kcodya:
Tried again with the stock kernel, still no go. Gonna try resetting one more time for good measure.
[EVO 4G Android Development] zikronix:
Pri sticks
[EVO 4G Android Development] SteelH:
Do you not agree it is rather bizarre how this process is working at various numbers of attempts for different people? 5th go round here.
[EVO 4G Android Development] sgt. slaughter:
how about it having something to do with what rom your on or if your on 2.2 or 2.1?...

-------------------------------------------

scratch that b/c your on a 2.2 rom. there been quite the # saying they got there 2.2 to pull it so it isn't that at all.
[EVO 4G Android Development] M@XLOL:
pls guise?
[EVO 4G Android Development] SteelH:
5 tries and no go. Maybe I'll try my luck tomorrow.
[EVO 4G Android Development] cj10488:
This does not I repeat does not require the stock kernel. ##786# menu - reset enter msl. Wipe dalvik cache & cache & factory reset. Make a backup first. Works with dc 3.5 and netarchys kernel.

James
[EVO 4G Android Development] kcodya:
8 tries and still no go. Giving up for now.
[EVO 4G Android Development] Varo210:
How long does it take to reboot into recovery, I've been waiting for 10 mins.
[EVO 4G Android Development] Adanedhels:
Try this if youre stuck on getting the PRI...

I wasn't able for the longest time to get the PRI to download...

BUT once I wiped data/cache via recovery

restarted

THEN wiped via ## (it must automatically boot into hboot, if not try again), went into recovery and wiped the first three options 2 times each (data, cache, dalvik), on reboot it reconnected and worked.

I believe some of our installed programs hinder the ability for the PRI to update, I could be wrong, but that might be the issue some of you are having. So after having backed up everything in nandroid try wiping all the data before starting the process. Let me know if this helps....
[EVO 4G Android Development] tyrnight:
it wasnt working for me as well..

here is what I did to make it work..

loaded the 2.2 ota rooted from netarchy WIPED FIRST

skiped all the google and FB login stuff

went directly to ##786#

did the reset

wiped EVERYTHING when recovery came up

and it finally updated to 1.40 PRI
[EVO 4G Android Development] kyleblakepeters:
If this is being pushed via Sprint's Hands Free Activation, the reason people are able to do it/not do it is probably due to what tower they are connected to. Seems like that is the biggest common denominator.
[EVO 4G Android Development] Goonzy:
James my good man it was me that found this great fix that many wanted, including myself.... you can check my threads to confrim donation link coming i 5 mins... thank you
[EVO 4G Android Development] frogomatic:
Pardon me for being dense but I'm still a little fuzzy on this and don't want to lose root. I'm on Fresh 3.1.0.1 ROM w/ stock kernel, clockworkmod recovery (yes, I know I need to change it). So for me the COMPLETE steps would be the following, correct?

Replace clockwork w/ RA_recovery w/ adb

nandroid backup

Repeat:

Reboot phone into normal mode

##768# / reset / MSL

Reboot into recovery

Wipe dalvik, cache, and do factory reset

Hands-free activation

Check PRI version number

until the server gives me the updated PRI 1.40

Reboot into RA recovery

nandroid restore

This will let me keep my current OS and kernel, userland data, etc. and JUST update the PRI, correct?

When I do handsfree activation, do I need to accept any updates? If so, is it referred to as a PRI update by the phone? Am I missing any steps?
[EVO 4G Android Development] lwarranty:
Still haven't got it working yet but the fact remains..

Goonzy found it - posted it and now some folks are running 1.4 regardless of all the other input, should'a, could'a, would'a - me thinks he's in the chips!

I didn't offer any bounty, but I'm gonna send him some bucks for putting up with some of us, holy smokes talk about killing the messenger in some of the posts!
[EVO 4G Android Development] gerald410:
wow 1st try success didn't even need to wipe lol thx guys

ps needed to flash from cm6 to stock rooted then bam
[EVO 4G Android Development] kcodya:
Still no go. After 10 attempts, I'm throwing in the towel.
[EVO 4G Android Development] lwarranty:
I'm wondering if it's part of the activation OR prl update?

So many different results, wondering if it's tower related, part of the hands free activation OR just plain PRL update?
[EVO 4G Android Development] gerald410:
I did accept the prl update if that matters.
[EVO 4G Android Development] ChiefSpoonS:
Dont give Goonzy Bounty

Goonzy do NOT kid yourself. you can no take credit for this. Your method "required unrEVOked Forever, which FUBARs phone in my opinion. Yes this the ##786# was in your original method, but when people asked if they could do the Master Reset only, YOU said no. I suggest that the Bounty does NOT go to Goonzy

SpoonS
[EVO 4G Android Development] mindcrime11:
YES!...after so many tries I've now successfully memorized my MSL, finally. Thanks goes out to the RecallUrMSL team for alerting me to this invaluable "RecallUrMSL Forever" tool which has permanently imprinted my MSL in my brain.

Donation on it's way.

jk...I will now go try rooted stock ROM and stock kernel to see if that will get me 1.40. I couldn't get it on Calks combined with net's kernel.
[EVO 4G Android Development] tpdtopcop:
It took me to get it to work on 7th try.
[EVO 4G Android Development] cowfodder:
+1

Especially after there is proof that ava was working with a HTC rep to get this fixed.
[EVO 4G Android Development] mindcrime11:
LOL!!!

Sorry...quoting myself.

I switched to stock rooted deodexed rom (SteelH) and the stock kernel and .... HUZZAH!! WORKED!!!

Edit: Did NOT use the unrevoked forever method.

I got 1.40!!

Now where's that Office Depot "That was Easy" button I had laying around.
[EVO 4G Android Development] fldash:
I gave up too... I might try with a different stock rooted ROM. I have been trying with the 'start over' 2.1 stock rooted ROM.
[EVO 4G Android Development] blackroseMD1:
Goonzy's method worked for me. Took me a couple of times doing the ## method, but it worked.

My question is, if I flash a new Rom or kernal over this, will it downgrade it?
[EVO 4G Android Development] jblazea50:
Just doing the ##786# wipe worked for me. I flashed the stock 2.2 odexed rom then did the ##786# wipe and reboot; it worked on the 3rd try
[EVO 4G Android Development] cowfodder:
PRI is safe as long as you don't reflash the img36 file.
[EVO 4G Android Development] blackroseMD1:
Awesome. Thanks for letting me know.
[EVO 4G Android Development] sgt. slaughter:
"THEY" that you refer to was a XDA Mod so watch what you say there.

And it was comments like these that caused your thread to get closed. If you can't keep it clean then please dont come and disrupt this one too as its been fine so far.

Glad you think you found this method out on your own but its been stated over and over Ava was already saying this would work and was going through HTC to find out why it wasn't before.

Thats all I'm gonna say on this as I really dont want to provoke you into using the unneeded language again and getting this thread locked too.
[EVO 4G Android Development] Saguratus:
3rd try here, stock 2.2 with eng boot, keep at it! What a difference too, 1 bar w/ spotty data to 5
[EVO 4G Android Development] PhantomApollyon:
same here, amazing difference
[EVO 4G Android Development] lwarranty:
As the experience grows...

Has anyone achieved it without wiping?

Does anyone think it's tower / location related?

Does anyone think it's the actual activation OR would repeated PRL update do it?

Seems so many variable roms and loaders have had success, stock roms aren't necessary?
[EVO 4G Android Development] starkillers:
Sorry for the noob question but my mind is fried from all these pages of pri. My question is I have root via toast 1.47 OTA . I have clockwork recovery and and netarchy rooted Odexed stock rooted 2.2 Rom. I also have Rom manager with a backup of my setup. If I do the ##786# method will I keep root and also can I just download Rom manager again and have it restore my last backup? I know I'm wet behind the ears with this stuff but want to make sure I do this properly. Any advice and steps for this noob would be sincerely appreciated.
[EVO 4G Android Development] ChiefSpoonS:
Not acting like a ass. you wanted people to use unrEVOked. you didn't need to, you also wanted a bunch of other crap flashed. You didn't need too.

you HAPPENED to have the ##786# in your method. Which is what solved the PRI. Like i said prior, someone in your thread asked you if they could just do that. YOU said no.

So don't be a arrogant SMUCK.

The 445 is not yours to take.
[EVO 4G Android Development] gerald410:
I did 1st try. I went from cm6 (##786# doesn't work) to stock rooted did ##786# reset MSl phone rebooted did hands free activation updated prl bam done.
[EVO 4G Android Development] ort84:
On my 10th or 11th can't remember try. No luck so far :(
[EVO 4G Android Development] webs05:
I'm pretty sure you have to wipe. But really why is that an issue with NAND? Here is my process posted on another thread:
[EVO 4G Android Development] Award Tour:
Has anyone done this successfully with clockwork?
[EVO 4G Android Development] playya:
OK guys it definitely works but I know someone had this idea a while ago and they were laughed at. Ok this is what I did

##786# MSL

let it format then I went right into the nand restore

I did a NAND Backup and when it did the over the air update It then updated to 1.40

1 thing is I only had to do it twice but the second time I used simpleroot to reflash Amon recovery and it worked...

I have stock rooted 2.2 stock kernel
[EVO 4G Android Development] cowfodder:
Nevermind, doesn't seem to work right.
[EVO 4G Android Development] mkeena0305:
Give him the credit. He got all of this started. Donation coming.
[EVO 4G Android Development] kcodya:
FINALLY had success after two tries with a stock odexed 2.2 rom.
[EVO 4G Android Development] gerald410:
I was never given an option to wipe it may have had to do with me doing a complete wipe prior to flashing a stock rooted rom from cm6
[EVO 4G Android Development] jrmithdobbs:
Took like 20 times (stopped counting after 10) but it finally updated to 1.40. That **** sucks but it works.

Looks like the PRI actually effects cell coverage at my house too. Had a feeling it would because my gf's (unrooted) phone gets much better coverage here.
[EVO 4G Android Development] dangerruss:
I was able to do the upgrade without clearing any of yhe catch partitions. Worked the first time with just the ## step. Running cuatom kernal and 2.2 custom rom.
[EVO 4G Android Development] playya:
Flash to Amon recovery with simpleroot its real easy and then do the ##786# method and then go into recovery and do a NAND restore and thats it hopefully it updates on the first go for you. This way you dont have to download anything
[EVO 4G Android Development] woofermazing:
Some have done it without wiping the cache and dalvik. I think it's unnecessary. I mean seriously, wipe everything twice? BS.

You may need an old PRL in order to get the PRI to update in the first place, making ##786# necessary. All speculation though.

[EVO 4G Android Development] pongoface:
Will someone please look up the thread from 2 weeks ago about the 1.40 pri fix using ##786. The op there showed this method. Plus 5 days ago i called sprint and they had do the##786# method once only and it didnt work. Also they led me to a page on google that showed this method for the hero. Anyways lets give it to charity or the first op and goonzy. That is my opinion.
[EVO 4G Android Development] mhaedo:
His method was a 10 step process involving unrevoked forever, PC36IMG.zip (or he said pc36.img), and a bunch of other nonsense. It also did not mention doing the ##786# process multiple times. Seeing as I didn't use his method, he does not get my donation. XDA-Developers.com does.
