You know what i've noticed......Philosuffer....settings>system updates>update profile repopulates the ##3282# data profile as well WITHOUT a reboot, So maybe if we change our home/sec home agents to a different IP address, then run a PRL update and/or a profile update, maybe something will happen.

I would start off by running a PRL update with the home/sec home agents changed incase that can change a PRI.
[EVO 4G Android Development] :
Sounds to me like this PRI Update was in sprints best interest and they may very well have been taking a hit from it financially. Two other reasons might be: Maybe the gingerbread update is closer than we think and this update insures a smoother venture OR It might be an attempt to obtain a more robust hold on future root exploits?
[EVO 4G Android Development] fldash:
I understand, I'm so aggravated I could throw my phone across the office. I just don't understand why it won't work. I've tried everything under the sun. All I want right now is to have it update, somehow, someway, but I can't... I can't think of anything else to try...

ROM's I tried:

Android 2.1 ('start over') Stock ROM

Netarchy Rooted Odexed 2.2 Stock ROM

SteelH Rooted DeOdexed 2.2 Stock ROM

Official Unrooted 2.2 Stock ROM

And I've probably used ##768# and ##3282# at least 30 times a piece on them...

It has to be tower based...
[EVO 4G Android Development] Award Tour:
I have clockwork and it doesn't seem to boot into recovery after the reset. I had to shut it down and start recovery manually. Wiping now. Hopefully I get it on my first try.
[EVO 4G Android Development] zone23:
Ya I was sweating bullets for about 10 minutes it was doing the boot loop after the reset. Pulled the battery cleared everything and same thing boot loop. So the I did a NAND restore and it booted up. Thank god. . Then hands free activation showed up did its thing but didn't update PRI. Maybe because I'm rooted. Just glad to be back were I started. Just hope I don't have issues now because it didn't want to boot after the factory reset. Bed time..
[EVO 4G Android Development] v_lestat:
rooted has nothing to do with it from what i am reading, nor do custom rom's, if you read, others who were rooted and on custom rom's clearly posted they updated, and its been said so many times its sickening this doesnt work the first time you need to do it repeatedly

i am on my 5th time and still no PRI

even though it says PRI updated.... wierd... wouldnt it say no PRI available???

oh well off to bed, maybe try again tomorrow
[EVO 4G Android Development] :
I'm thinking who ever flipped the switch over there that is allowing at least some of us to get the PRI 1.40 push needs some bounty? Root Root? LOL!!!
[EVO 4G Android Development] mhaedo:
It says PRL updated, not PRI updated.
[EVO 4G Android Development] lwarranty:
It was my understanding 1.34 was only a result of rooting?

It was my understanding 1.34 was only a result of rooting? How did non-rooters get it?
[EVO 4G Android Development] :
I was previously rooted but jumped the gun and unrooted to get the official OTA Froyo update which left me with 1.34 as others. With this we are fully upgraded to stock and now await Froyo rooting...
[EVO 4G Android Development] satch12:
I had clockwork. Flashed RA and went through all the steps. Worked first try.
[EVO 4G Android Development] johncjenc:
Can any of you gentlemen that got it to work make a flashable file? I will certainly donate.
[EVO 4G Android Development] chandlerw88:
Someone who has the update let us know of its worth it, I'm kinda getting a don't fix what ain't broken vibe from ask these pri fixes or there.
[EVO 4G Android Development] SteveDusa:
I can confirm it's working as well. The trick is the HBOOT.

HOWEVER seriously, there are a lot of things you need to be aware.

1. You need to have the Unrevoked Forever in there IN CASE a complete flash take your recovery away and you are locked into 2.2 until further notice.

2. You need to have a SHIPPED HBoot! This is where it gets tricky, the "founder" of the method provided a full 2.2 IMG WITH An ENG HBoot in there. What you need to find is a SHIPPED HBoot.

To put it simple, have security unlocked in case of permeant lockdown, flash the 2.2 IMG from the HBoot, ##768#, wipe cache and Dalvik TWICE, THEN Flash a SHIPPED HBOOT! After that let EPST activate itself and you should have the 1.40.003 with it.

Then just, flash back to some other ROM you prefer.
[EVO 4G Android Development] theoner1:
Confirmed this is working!!! fully rooted via toast and pri 1.3. Thank you for providing the steps. Only one tried for me (pretty lucky).

Had DC 3.5 rom installed prior to start the reset process.

Follow every direction above up until reboot and then my phone would just loop the "sprint 4g" screen over and over until I yanked out the battery. Booted direction to recovery and wiped everything again 2x and followed by flashing BakedSnacked 1.3 full theme with BakedKernel2. Phone rebooted and enter activation screen follow by prl update and attempted to update firmware but none available. Once completed went into menu and under software info and BAM!!! Pri 1.40_.

Panic for a minute since my 3g icon wasn't display on my notification bar and phone calling was not allowed (telling me to contact sprint). Follow by a reboot and what do you know, my phone is now 1.40_ pri and still fully rooted via toast.
[EVO 4G Android Development] cowfodder:
Or you can do as numerous people have done and not use Unrevoked Forever, not flash a sketchy file, and just use the ##768# method until it works.
[EVO 4G Android Development] bprinehart:
Steve-- Respectfully, I did it with eng hboot, and many people have done it without unrevoked forever. I think there is so much new info flying around right now we have to be careful with what were telling people you have to do. Doing unrevoked forever is a big deal, and something people should seriously give thought to before deciding they want to.
[EVO 4G Android Development] pongoface:
Confirmed here as well. Here is what I did. Already had amon recovery installed.

1. Installed steel's stock deox rom with htc stock kernal.

2. ##786#, menu, factory reset, and enter msl then continue. It then proceeded to boot into recovery mood.

3. I wiped data once, cache, and dalvik twice and hit reboot system.

4. When it rebooted, I checked settings and 1.40pri was there.

5. The update is coming over the air from sprint. It is my OPINION lol that the sprint servers look for the stock kernal for others have had success with other roms.

6. This was accomplished on my first try. I am located in Rochester, NY.

As I stated earlier in this thread. A member from the forum 2 weeks ago published this ##786# fix. He really didn't know how he did it so others including myself dismissed his idea. For that I apologize and he was leading us in the right direction. Good Luck All, Roy

PS I am looking for no what so ever bounty or donations. I found a simple way to do it. If it wasn't for all the FREE help here from the devs and members I would still have a stock evo!!!
[EVO 4G Android Development] SteveDusa:
Agreed.

Well I have the Forever thing in prior to this since I was a tester for them.

Anyway until I have the shipped HBoot in there, I just can't get the PRI to update.
[EVO 4G Android Development] elas123:
Took me about 15 tries to get the new pri but I got it will test speeds tomorrow
[EVO 4G Android Development] :
wow! big boy...how about put some clothes on first. We have virgin eye in here.
[EVO 4G Android Development] smw6180:
Actually while you may have had the same idea, independently, you didn't have it first. Stop whining all over the forums.
[EVO 4G Android Development] SteveDusa:
Understood :)

Anyway maybe it's just me because lol without the Shipped HBoot, no matter what I do, it won't update.

I think until we figure out EXACTLY how it's done, we can just share our experience instead of telling ppl what to do.
[EVO 4G Android Development] xx1479:
My PRI Update

I'm running DC 3.5 with netarchy's 4.0.2 kernel. I tried the ##3282# method first for about 15-17 times with no results so I was going to try one of the other methods that involved flashing SteelH's stock ROM and then using the ##768# factory reset method. So I created a Nandroid backup and then performed the ##768# factory reset method, it rebooted into Recovery, wiped data once, wiped cache and Dalvik cache twice, rebooted and then I realized I never flashed SteelH's stock ROM. DOH! So I restored my Nandroid backup and when my device rebooted it went through the Hands Free Activation, updated PRL and boom, I was on PRI 1.40_3.
[EVO 4G Android Development] crakerjaks:
flashed what?
[EVO 4G Android Development] zone23:
See,.... easy as pie. For all we know all it might take is a reboot..

oh ya,... and you probably could have used one of the two other threads. But thats OK thats what mods are for.
[EVO 4G Android Development] freeza:
Nah, rebooting has no effect. i've rebooted like five thousand times already after applying handsfree activation without even doing a ##786# or ##3282# in between just for good measure with no results. I'm 100% convinced at this point that it is location/tower/luck based.
[EVO 4G Android Development] zone23:
Maybe I should play the lotto tonight, feeling LUCKaaaa
[EVO 4G Android Development] fldash:
freeza: here's an idea...

Flash Unrevoked Forever

Install the 'start over' 2.1 ROM available on the forums.

Accept the OTA update for it which would generally unroot you and cause 9 times of hell, but you are Unrevoked.

Try to get PRI that way.

Reflash recovery of your choice, nandroid restore.
[EVO 4G Android Development] Philosuffer:
Tried multiple PRL and Profile updates with Primary and Secondary Chicago Home Agents, no luck...

Another good find tho...
[EVO 4G Android Development] freeza:
I just might do that.

Here's what I have done that would have caused panic to anyone else:

-Flashed the official full 2.2 exe (ruu) that went and overwrote virtually EVERYTHING on my phone, including radio, baseband, hboot, splash, you name it, it overwrote it.

I was actually kind of scared for a while because i couldn't get a recovery to flash, then I noticed it was because my microSD card was formatted for FAT instead of FAT32 lol.

I just may flash the full official 1.47 exe & ota it though. At this point, i'm positive it is location based. But still willing to try anything.
[EVO 4G Android Development] fldash:
Hmm, I don't have a lot of faith in my method if flashing that official update with radio, hboot, everything didn't work... I don't understand at all.
[EVO 4G Android Development] prjkthack:
Odd, been trying this method a good 20 times now with no luck. I did notice though that the max size for my MMS has been reduced to a cap of 1.0mb. I know it used to be 4mb before all this updating. Anyone else notice this change?
[EVO 4G Android Development] Philosuffer:
Must simply be location based. Haven't heard any successes from Cali yet, but there are too many threads to follow now so I could have missed it.

I happen to be flying out to Tennessee tomorrow...so I guess I'll see then. I have a layover in Vegas on the way also, so I'll try there first.

If Vegas works, you have an excuse for a Vegas trip freeza lol
[EVO 4G Android Development] EliWay:
No because it was never set to 4mb. PRI update has absolutely nothing to do with this.
[EVO 4G Android Development] JelloB:
I got it on Baked's ROM as well. Took 2 tries. Nand backup before and restored after. Easy.
[EVO 4G Android Development] freeza:
Can someone who's gotten the 1.40 PRI please post their home and sec home agents by going into ##3282# then data profile?

Thank you
[EVO 4G Android Development] boliviano3:
I doubt the updated pri has anything to do with it, besides you can change it under settings in messaging. I tried about 8 times & gave up. I'm in LA, CA. Am I the only one that feels like my phone is laughing at me?
[EVO 4G Android Development] prjkthack:
Well I too doubt that the PRI has anything to do with the change. Still, if it used to be 4mb for me, and suddenly the cap is at 1mb now, and the only thing I've done for the past 10 hours is this data PRI reset and some text messages... well then its gotta be one of these. I'm not saying the PRI itself is changing this setting, but what about the initial hands free activation process? Just thinking.
[EVO 4G Android Development] melonberry:
##DATA# didnt work for me. The PRL couldnt update, and i lost my 3G connection.

##786# worked for me after 5 tries.

Im in Pasadena, Socal with the Netarchy Rom.
[EVO 4G Android Development] mrvirginia:
this post is absolutely correct.

[EVO 4G Android Development] phobos512:
##786# method worked for me on the third try. So Cal (Ridgecrest), and I used steelH's rom to do it (usually on Cyanogen).
[EVO 4G Android Development] MJStephens:
Still having a few issues with getting the new PRI. Flashed a stock 2.2 rooted ROM, etc. Does anyone have any idea if the fact that I'm running a .21 radio instead of a .28 radio would make any difference? I went back to .21 to see if I had better battery life but I'm about to flash .28 and retry the PRI update if I dont get it after a few more tries.
[EVO 4G Android Development] dgruhlke:
Updated PRI

Same here, called Sprint, they happily provided MSL, 6th try PRI updated.
[EVO 4G Android Development] wfrandy:
Finally got it on the 18th try.

I flashed netarchy's stock rooted 2.2 rom, only because I was missing the apk that allows ##286# or ##3282#, but I am positive that it will work with any rom that allows you to reset.

I tried the ##286#, wipe everything, reboot method 7 times. Then tried the ##3282# method 10 times. I was about to give up but decided to give the ##286# method one more try, and it finally worked. Restored my Fresh setup back, and now I am good to go with 1.40_003 pri.

My Speedtest results are about the same as before though, no change that I can tell so far.
[EVO 4G Android Development] xweaponx:
Sorry. To clarify, I wiped dalvik/cache & flashed Steels' OTS stock rom (2) times to achieve the 1.40.003 PRI..
[EVO 4G Android Development] freeza:
Okay now something is really wrong. I'm in pasadena and have been trying since yesterday with nothing! what in the world? What is your secondary home agent ##3282#>data profile
[EVO 4G Android Development] elas123:
anyone who did the ##786# method and got the new pri. did you check roaming? i thought everything went fine last night and today when i needed to roam i couldnt. can someone check ?

edit: on a side note, i figured i would start over and do the method again to reactivate but after i did it i now have the old pri 1.34 WTF! lol
[EVO 4G Android Development] freeza:
You're the second person to say that. Makes me wonder if the 1.40 PRI is really getting pushed or just cosmetic. Sprint never pushed out PRI 1.34, did they?
[EVO 4G Android Development] surfsnow:
Currently using the unroot OTA Froyo (from Sprint, HTC update from the phone Settings)

Rooted before using simpleroot when @ 2.1, stuck @ PRI 1.34_003

Used ##768# and reset the phone 18x and PRI 1.40_003 update was pushed.

No nand backup did since I don't care stuff got wiped and I don't need root anymore

No Wipe Dalvik-Cache, Wipe Cache was performed (I don't even know how on unroot)

Just keep trying, eventually it will be updated.

Location: Canoga Park, CA
[EVO 4G Android Development] Rene2.5RS:
I tried ##3282# about 15-20 times never worked.

I did the ##786# wiped everything in recovery 3 or 4 times rebooted, after the hands free activation I was getting massive htc force closures, pulled the battery did a nandroid restore and was updated to 1.4
[EVO 4G Android Development] evohack99:
There was a way to fix the roaming problem , they said go to settings security and reset data, but I went into myn and never found that option, but you can call cust service and they will help. Iv tried 5 times and no update, I live in southeast kansas.

Anyone else getting voicemail errors, i.e. voicemail error, will connect when signal is available after the activation. I'm wondering if this is one of the reasons why it doesn't work when i try it.
[EVO 4G Android Development] Lappie2010:
Im thinking there is some dude at a computer screen seeing these ## codes. He is just picking and choosing random people to update just to F$%^ with all of us here. He is probably reading these posts and laughing his A$$ off.
[EVO 4G Android Development] Lappie2010:
Yes, I got that 5 times out of 10 when I was trying it. I was unsuccessful as well. FWIW.
[EVO 4G Android Development] dahray02:
lol...i tried about 30 times and gave up..in austin,tx
[EVO 4G Android Development] autoprime:
sounds like provisioning errors. i get this error as well.. but my meid has been edited/repaired.. so i always assumed it was that. does your prl update or does that fail as well.

activation completes, prl tries to update.. voicemail error pops up.. prl fails due to error 67.

im just not sure whether the pri update comes from the activation.. or the prl update.. or a combo of both.

south jersey here.. 10 attempts.. all failed so far..
[EVO 4G Android Development] donatom3:
Finally got the 1.4 in Costa Mesa California. I did it 12 times doing the method here, and didn't get it. I then tried twice using the ##786# which resets the phone and did.
[EVO 4G Android Development] Scorbin:
LMAO! If I worked there, I'm be the dude doing that... I know, sick SOB, but funny.
[EVO 4G Android Development] sgt. slaughter:
The ##786# IS the Method Here though. I dont understand. You mean you tried the ##DATA# 12 times then did the 786 method?
[EVO 4G Android Development] fsiddique:
What a long day...

Wow so I have been trying to do this all day, trying random combinations of both the 3282 and 786, at least tried 40ish times all day. I was running BS 1.3 but for whatever reason typing in the data codes in the dialer didnt do anything (some EPST issue?). I flashed natarchys stock rooted 2.2 rom and began trying both methods OVER AND OVER AGAIN. I tried the 3282 at least 20-30 times, and the 768 who knows how many times also.

I finally decided to give up and nand restore back to BS. Being lazy and pissed it didn't work, instead of powering off, holding down the buttons to launch hboot and going into recovery, I decided to do ##786# and did a Menu -> Reset because this would take me into recovery after doing the factory reset (less effort on my part).

I nand restored to my BS backup, booted up and my phone started activating (tired from all those attempts earlier, I forgot the method I used to get into recovery and forgot I would need to reactivate my handset>

LO AND BEHOLD after the activation completed, I had 1.40 WTF!!!! Maybe I got lucky and it would have happened regardless, maybe doing a ##786# and then switching ROMs and force a rom to activate when it first boots up had something to do with it, all I know is that I had given up and was ready to settle with 1.34, but I got the update =)

PRI instructions on the web

http://geekfor.me/faq/how-to-get-back-to-pri-1-40-on-evo/

i am trying this now with the recovery mode they are suggesting. will report back soon...
[EVO 4G Android Development] SundayDuffer:
MSL code question. I had my MSL code when i had the TP2. Would it still be the same now that i have an EVO?
[EVO 4G Android Development] fastamx79:
No.. each phone has a unique code. Call Sprint (or do web chat) and get it through them.

--edit--

or use CDMA workshop. There are directions on XDA on how to set it up and get the code (Windows only so if you are on a Mac you'll need to boot into Windows if you have that setup)
[EVO 4G Android Development] rdzlyz:
Uhhhhhh you should read threads before posting. It even says that those instructions originated from xda.
[EVO 4G Android Development] thenewguy821:
This is the exact procedure that has been described in a few posts here. Only difference is pictures.... :p

Stick with it. People are reporting different results. Some have the PRI update on the first try, some have to do it 5, 10, 20 times. Just be patient, it will work. It took me 2 tries.
[EVO 4G Android Development] Just_s:
When you get that error, usually error 67, just go into settings>System Updates>Update profile and it should take care of it.
[EVO 4G Android Development] SundayDuffer:
Thx. 20mins on the phone with Sprint...and they finally gave me my MSL.
[EVO 4G Android Development] Varo210:
OMG! Thats funny!
[EVO 4G Android Development] fastamx79:
Awesome!! I was going to say if they give you a hard time, hang up and try again. I actually lucked out with my MSL code.. I was getting error 67s about a week into my Evo back in July and I had to call Sprint and they made me do a factory reset, and gave me the code :cool:
[EVO 4G Android Development] crakerjaks:
You have to bruteforce PRI to update, theres really no actual one method, you just have to try over and over, use a stock rooted rom like steel's, I tried both methods, ##786# and ##3282# using Steel's rev.e rom, finally after about 7 tries it updated. First I tried 786 a couple times, then 3282 twice, then back to 786 once then the last time I did 3282, did its thing, rebooted and told me there was some connection error (which never happened before), went to look at my PRI and it got updated to 1_40.3 wewt!
[EVO 4G Android Development] tbadlov:
CONFIRMED!!!!! IT IS WORKING!!!

I had OMJ with the native recovery image. Flashed it to RA and it worked.

IT IS NOT A TOWER... IT IS HOW YOU DO IT.

Follow the instructions and you should be all good.
[EVO 4G Android Development] bluengu:
The PRI is updated during the activation. I was able to successfully update the PRI without wiping in recovery and from rooted Fresh rom. My phone fails PRL activation after the handsfree activation completes successfully but I still got the 1.40 PRI after about 6 tries.
[EVO 4G Android Development] talktojer:
which rom/version you running?
[EVO 4G Android Development] Just_s:
Pretty much same thing for me. I ran through all this stuff 10 or 11 times following directions "to the T" and nothing. Decided to call it a day on the EVO modding, booted into hboot nandroided back to my brand spankin' new EViO 1.1 ROM that I had been testing yesterday and BAM!, there it is 1.40.003. Beautiful!

Now I have the best ROM out and 1.40 PRI. What a great way to start the weekend!:D

For those having issues, maybe try giving up and flashing back to whatever custom rom you are planning on running and see what happens. Looks like it worked for at least two of us. :)
