although your right, that we all have tethering, im pretty sure all of us do not have it on 24/7, i have had my phone rooted since the day it came out and i am lucky to have a total of 5 hours on tether. So i really do not think that is the case. I am not saying this will fix it but i not saying that it will not either

[EVO 4G Android Development] xda-reader:
Noob trying to follow; correct me if I'm wrong.

- PRI affects how phone makes data connects to data networks

- Newer PRIs give better results for many

- Stock phones have PRI 1.40

- Rooting changes to 1.34 as a side effect

- Unrooting doesn't restore 1.40 because the file isn't present in any released updates.

- Catch-22: you need root to get 1.40 file off a phone, but rooting forces 1.34 on phone

Am I following correctly so far? Because, if I am, the point I'm getting at is: I just rooted my phone (Unrevoked3), and Settings shows my PRI as 1.40_003 ...

Is there something I can do to help?
[EVO 4G Android Development] webs05:
Well since I've been rooted for a couple months now and supposedly that gives us the old PRI I was assuming that updating the profile just didn't work because I was rooted. So my question above was asking more or less, does updating the profile attempt to update the PRI. Or does "profile" refer to something completely different?
[EVO 4G Android Development] DanBergundy:
I think it's the NAND unlocked + latest PRI that is needed... Unrevoked does nothing.
[EVO 4G Android Development] xda-reader:
Clarify, please. I thought you only needed NAND unlocked to write, not read. And, I thought Unrevoked3 *did* do unlock, since it flashes a custom recovery, and I've been able to mount system rw to delete unwanted stock apks.
[EVO 4G Android Development] sk63:
My understanding of Unrevoked 3 is that it isn't quite a full NAND unlock. You still have the stock bootloader which is currently impossible to bypass without downgrading the PRI, though the Unrevoked forever should get around this.
[EVO 4G Android Development] xda-reader:
Guess I don't understand what the bootloader has to do with the PRI. Are you saying it's not something I could extract from a file on my phone for the smart guys to package up for those stuck with 1.34?
[EVO 4G Android Development] sk63:
They're related because the orginal NAND unlocked required flashing the engineering bootloader as part of a larger package. Included in this package is rcdata.img which had PRI version 1.34. Unfortunately this package can't be removed without invalidating the signature required to flash it in the first place.

One of the major benefits of the engineering bootloader is that it allows for access to partitions that the stock bootloader just doesn't have including the one where the PRI is stored. Hence, we need the engineering bootloader to dump the PRI, but having the engineering bootloader means that the PRI has been downgraded.

The Unrevoked Forever exploit removes the requirement that package must be signed for the stock bootloader to flash them meaning we can now flash just the engineering bootloader without downgrading the PRI so that we can now extract the 1.40 PRI.
[EVO 4G Android Development] HondaCop:
I have a question... Is this new Unrevoked Forever, works as in forever till death do us apart, or forever and ever and ever?
[EVO 4G Android Development] xeren:
So, if I understand you correctly, it sounds like someone with the knowhow can now pull the 1.40 PRI out of a previously unrooted Evo- so it's just a matter of time now, no?

[EVO 4G Android Development] Crotchety:
Correct me if I'm wrong but they did say the new Unrevoked method requires already rooted phones. Doesn't that mean by default that they don't have "what we need" since you can't be rooted without having lost the 1.40 pri? Someone please tell me I'm wrong.
[EVO 4G Android Development] woofermazing:
If the phone was rooted only with an unrevoked method, they wouldn't have unlocked the nand and lost 1.4.
[EVO 4G Android Development] starplaya93:
I just want to get some clarification on this...

So the PRI causing signal issues has to do with location and the tower your connected to correct?

Can someone please explain that a bit more if it is the case.
[EVO 4G Android Development] zikronix:
its out kinda...reffering to the unrevoked. it looks like you can flash the eng hboot with out messing with the pri now...

my assumption is 4 things will happen

1. there will be a new nand unlock guide written once veirfied by toast.

2. we will have our PRI before the night is over

3.....?

4. Profit
[EVO 4G Android Development] zikronix:

[EVO 4G Android Development] darkhova:
So when you guys go into Setting/About Phone/Software Information what shows as your PRI Version?
[EVO 4G Android Development] Crotchety:
Mine shows 1.34
[EVO 4G Android Development] darkhova:
Same here....What exactly needs to be fixed?
[EVO 4G Android Development] sk63:
Last I'd read is that there's still some question of how to exactly dump the PRI. It's suspected to be in the radio partition somewhere. As I understand it, one can run the command "fastboot oem prt2sd radio radio.bin" to dump assuming they have the engineering hboot.

From there it's a matter of pulling out the PRI and creating a flashable rcdata.img or possible brute forcing it by just overwriting the radio partition on a 1.34 phone with that from a 1.40 phone. However, I don't know what other data might be in the radio partition that might be unique to particular phone.

Personally I'm going to wait for the devs to pull the files and work their magic on them. That said, I'm open to doing some testing if someone can get me 1.40 in any form.
[EVO 4G Android Development] Crotchety:
Well, from what I understand, 1.34 is actually a pre-release PRI that the EVO root/NAND unlock methods are based on. From day one every EVO came with PRI 1.40 which has updated connection instructions (pardon my lack of correct terminology) that may give users faster data speeds. Of course other things come into play here like signal strength, interference, etc. Some people have reported a definite reduction in data speed after rooting to 1.34 while others have reported little or no change. Getting back to 1.40 will not make much of a difference for everyone, but it should help a number of us.

Also, if you ever have to take your phone back to Sprint for anything, the 1.34 PRI is a dead giveaway that your phone has been rooted at some point even if you unroot it before taking it back since currently the PRI doesn't return to stock when you unroot. If they notice that at the Sprint store you could be S.O.L. You can't unvoid a warranty.

Guys correct me if I missed something or got it wrong.
[EVO 4G Android Development] sk63:
Nope that's pretty much exactly it.

There is a file out there that can be flashed to make it look like you have 1.40 when in reality you still have 1.34.
[EVO 4G Android Development] Crotchety:
And I certainly do have a copy of that file for insurance purposes :D

[EVO 4G Android Development] superevilllama:
Why??? how can one person answer that when there are so many developers. Just asking for a reason for the NO ITS NOT POSSIBLE.
[EVO 4G Android Development] infamousjax:
because the step-by-step method/exploit that's being used is impossible to be "packaged up". basically:

use unrevoked forever

copy the pcimg to your sd card

wipe using ##787# and your MSL

should boot you into recovery mode

from here, wipe everything twice including dalvik cache

turn the phone off, do NOT REBOOT

hold down power and volume down to get into HBOOT mode

it will flash the pcimg file

the phone will boot and self activate

and you've got your new PRI

how would you package that into a freakin zip file? lol
[EVO 4G Android Development] superevilllama:
I am not stupid and would love to not turn a good thread into another ***** fit. I understand that ^^^^^ cannot be packaged. However, the PRI file it downloads OTA may? Just asking.
[EVO 4G Android Development] infamousjax:
if that OTA PRI download could be packaged then im sure it would have been done by now.. but since Im not an android developer and I dont have extensive knowledge of shell scripting, Im not 100% positive. my personal opinion is just that it seems very unlikely... no disrespect intended to you, sorry
[EVO 4G Android Development] superevilllama:
Sounds good to me. I also am just an avid geeker here. I will sit back and wait to see what can be done. I know everyone is anxious to have this working.
[EVO 4G Android Development] sk63:
I feel it is my duty to once again point out that there method discussed above is complete bunk.

The ONLY way we are going to see a PRI update is if someone the used unrevoked 3 followed by forever AND still has 1.40 then flashes the stand alone engineering bootloader found here: http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?p=7640988#post7640988

then from a terminal they run this commmand "fastboot oem saveprt2sd radio radio.bin" while in fastboot and connected via usb.

From this dump of the radio it MAY be possible to extract the PRI or to flash the whole radio partition.

I will risk bricking my phone testing if someone can get me a copy of radio.bin using the steps outlined above.
[EVO 4G Android Development] scooter185:
The problem so far has been finding the PRI file, which is why it hasn't been packaged yet. With the new forever method it should be possible to get a 1.40 phone rooted and then dump the PRI and package that. People are expecting things to happen to quickly, the forever method just came out and people are clamoring for the pri fix now. Patience people patience.

the program will let you partition and format one part to Ext2 (which is required to install Apps) and let you transfer the apps on your phone to SD card. It also change the default app location to SD card so the future app installations will also go to SD card automatically.

[Milestone XT720 General] ToTTenTranz:
lol @ conversation

Good luck with HTC anyway. Every single smartphone maker is farting in their customers' face by denying them the updates to force them to buy new phones.

As cool as it may seem, Android is going the exact same way as Windows Mobile 6.xx, which is a downward spiral.

The only two ways to make sure your phone gets a reasonable update longevity (I say 2 years, at least) are:

1 - Buy an overpriced/underfeatured/underspecced Google branded smartphone.

2 - Buy a smartphone with a factory-unlocked bootloader and a large userbase with plenty of modders/hackers/cookers.

Unfortunately, it's incredibly hard to find a smartphone that has both good performance+features/price ratio and and unlocked bootloader.

I'm coming from a Samsung i8910. The 3.7" AMOLED screen, great 8MPix photos and flawless 720p video (thanks to modded firmware) spoiled me too much to go back to a 5MP snapper. However, despite the excellent hardware, it's stuck to Symbian^1 which is kinda like using a Ferrari for initiate driving lessons.

Despite really wishing for the N8 (too expensive), I'm "sidegrading" to the XT720 because of price and content availability.

That said, I wouldn't say I regret buying this phone.

2.2 or 2.1, I still get seamless integration with google e-mail, contacts and calendar, 99% compatibility with all the market apps and 100% compatibility with all high-end games.

In the middle of the year, I may be willing to spend the extra €s to get a high end model with everything I want, but for the moment, the 300€ ths XT720 cost me seems quite alright.

Market Install as well as TitaniumBackup did not used ext4 partition

Hi @all,

installed that ROM. Thank you for that very smooth feeling.

Came from CM5, did a TitaniumBackup but cannot restore all apps because ext4 partition was not used. All data seams to be load into /data.

Installed after full wipe and repair ext partition via Amon Ra and flashed Superfly.

Enabled 'Application moving' as described (CM Settings

Go to: Settings>CyanogenMod Settings

Application settings> Check Allow application moving (DO NOT CHANGE INSTALL LOCATION FROM AUTOMATIC, IT WILL CAUSE ISSUES WITH APPS2EXT))

Also tried a 'sh /system/etc/fr-patch134.txt' after installation in order to start A2SD but neither Market installs nor TitaniumBackup will work.

Any idea what I can do to use my ext4 partition?

Thank you very much for your suport in advance.

[G1 Android Development] AndDiSa:
Almost all FroYo ROMs up to now support apps2sdext only by using the apps2sdext-patch from firerat. The application originally will be installed on /data, but by calling the skript the apps will be transferred to /sd-ext and symlinked in /data. So calling the fr-apps2sdext - skript from time to time will free space in /data. More details about that, you can find here
