Code

What's the code i'll try it on non rooted
[EVO 4G Android Development] cardiox:
##786# but you need your MSL to do reset...believe me it works. They are now pushing the updated PRI to 1.40...
[EVO 4G Android Development] rocolema:
Worked for me. I had 1.34, rooted with toast, running stock rooted froyo.
[EVO 4G Android Development] SteelH:
Wishing, and hoping, and waiting.....
[EVO 4G Android Development] Award Tour:
Assuming that this does indeed work for some, would doing this break root? Or could I just do this, get the updated PRI while reseting in the process, still have full root and nandroid back to my old setup?
[EVO 4G Android Development] jdawg0024:
No it isnt... I am Fully ROOTED via Toast Method and it worked for me here is how

No Need for any Files

Do a NAND Backup 1st...

Dial ##786#

Hit Menu

Press Reset

Enter MSL (if you dont have it call sprint and ask for it they just gave it to me I told them I was having issues)

Phone will reboot into recovery mode (can not confirm that this will work for clockwork mod)

Wipe everything 2x

Reboot

The phone will go through handsfree activation then when its done just hit skip on the phone setup and go to menu settings about phone software to see if it updated

If it did not just repeat the process until it does. It took me 3x but others have reported it worked on the 1st and some say it worked on the 10th.
[EVO 4G Android Development] Doward:
I'm fully rooted (toast's method) and now have the 1.40 PRI.
[EVO 4G Android Development] Award Tour:
So if I do this, it'll reset my phone, go through the activation process (and maybe update my PRI too). Afterwards I'd still have root and could then nandroid back into my old setup but now with the update PRI?
[EVO 4G Android Development] jdawg0024:
Correct... may take you a few times for it to update... have seen in the other thread it took someone 12 times.. It took me 3
[EVO 4G Android Development] Award Tour:
Thanks. And yeah, it has to be a server thing on HTC's end. When I first got my EVO it took a bunch of tries before everything updated correctly on my first initial activation.
[EVO 4G Android Development] cardiox:
And I apologize for the fact that this post was actually for non-rooters stuck on PRI 1.34....the other post by goonzy is for rooted users needing the upgrade. Either way it appears that both are achieving the update to some degree based on maybe the sprint server status and the actual push.

After saying all this and now that I am running PRI 1.40, I don;t see a real big difference in data transfer. My ping rate may be a bit better though...
[EVO 4G Android Development] zone23:
Not sure what happen but I reset mine now the phone wont boot.
[EVO 4G Android Development] cardiox:
Take the battery out and replace try again?
[EVO 4G Android Development] ttieder:
Will the method work on fresh Rom
[EVO 4G Android Development] darkhova:
Im gonna try this method first try ill report back
[EVO 4G Android Development] barleysoda:
I tired using the ##786# method several times and kept getting a boot loop. Nand restore was the only way out of it. PRI never updated.

I tried this method 4 times so far and no update either but at least I dont get the boot loops.

running fusion froyo 2.4 and stock kernel.
[EVO 4G Android Development] EliWay:
Just tried it, did not work for me ;( Is this maybe rom related? Im just using the official 2.2 ota rooted-odexed with netarchy's kernel.
[EVO 4G Android Development] mindcrime11:
Excellent! Wish I would have known about the ##3282# method prior to the ##786#, reset, wipe, wipe method.
[EVO 4G Android Development] ojoel:
yeah i also dont think rom or kernal have anything to do with it
[EVO 4G Android Development] kamiller42:
Do we know for sure ##3282# works for sure? Curious because I am trying now using this method over and over. Am I spinning my wheels?
[EVO 4G Android Development] barleysoda:
I always get a charge everytime I activate a new phone. Seems like it was around 30 bucks. Since this charge is automated I hope its smart enough to only charge per phone and not per activation. Seems to me I switched a phone out and then switched it back for one of the kids and I got nailed both times. I hope I didnt just generate a $300.00 bill in activation charges.:eek:
[EVO 4G Android Development] EliWay:
When the update is applied, do you have to manually restart the phone to check if 1.40 has been installed correctly ?
[EVO 4G Android Development] ojoel:
worked for me
[EVO 4G Android Development] ojoel:
just check under about phone where you would check prl, if it did not update just keep trying
[EVO 4G Android Development] rileyd5:
thanks for the steps. trying it now. crossing fingers :)

update: didnt work for me but I tried... also you may want to edit the post to ##786# thanks.
[EVO 4G Android Development] darkhova:
During the hand free activation it said checking firmware version? i canceled it because i didnt want it to somehow loose root? Am im wrong or am i supposed to let that process complete
[EVO 4G Android Development] reekotubbs:
I believe that ##data# then restore does wipe all of your info in your ##data# area. The hands free activation restores all the information.

If you cancel the hands free activation, you will see that none of your user information is there if you go back into ##data#
[EVO 4G Android Development] rjmjr69:
Try this one I went down to it then upto 2.2

http://www.mediafire.com/?pd2tx1z1w6knakk
[EVO 4G Android Development] ojoel:
you can skip firmware, there isnt a firmware update in any case
[EVO 4G Android Development] darkhova:
So when i get to firmware just hit cancel and go check and see if my PRI Changed?
[EVO 4G Android Development] evohog:
I tried with fresh 15 times. As soon as I installed steels Rom bingo!! And I have ****ty service in my house 1 to 2 bars. Thanks for the help.
[EVO 4G Android Development] dan0412:
Someone asked this a couple posts up but it wasn't answered. What benefits does a 1.4 PRI give me (that's not currently available on my rooted-NAND-unlocked phone)?

Thanks.
[EVO 4G Android Development] asj2583:
I called twice for 2 different phones and told them my data went to 1x after a prl update and that you need to downgrade in order to get evdo/3g back but in order to so this you need the msl and they'll give it to you. They might need to xfer you to a sup in tech support if the tech says there not authorize to give you that info. Just stick with the story and they'll give it to you in order rio get a good survey :)
[EVO 4G Android Development] kindaskimpy:
Possibly better 3G speeds
[EVO 4G Android Development] evohog:
Thanks I got it to work. I flashed steels Rom and used ra and eureka. Appreciate it.
[EVO 4G Android Development] jtc442:
msl

i just called in and said, "i noticed my phone quality was pretty muffled, so i looked on the net, and everywhere i read, said i needed to change to evrc-b to get the quality good. so i was gonna change it, but it requires some sort of code" after saying that to them, they gave it to me with no probs whatsoever!!!
[EVO 4G Android Development] darkhova:
2nd try still on 1.34 PRI
[EVO 4G Android Development] kindaskimpy:
Tried 6 times and my PRL is still 1.34. Maybe it's not being out here in Miami right now? I'll try tomorrow.
[EVO 4G Android Development] dan0412:
Ok, got it. thanks. So, this is somewhat different from the 'exploit' by the Unrevoked forever team that supposedly allows you to maintain root even after flashing a stock OTA update from Sprint.

I'd rather hold off on this.. there must be something wrong (with this method) since it appears to be hit or miss; works for some and not for others.
[EVO 4G Android Development] ojoel:
some people get it sooner than others, not sure how it works i guess it worked on my 8th try combined i was about to stop, then i tried this method, in any case i am sure you will get it eventually
[EVO 4G Android Development] evohog:
I was getting 128 k on speedtest now 1. 5 mbs. My phone was almost unusable without WiFi in my house. Now I'm matching my WiFi speed. I have my proof that the price has to also do with speed.
[EVO 4G Android Development] ojoel:
all methods seem to work just with different amount of attempts. some people get it on first try others after 15
[EVO 4G Android Development] kindaskimpy:
Unrevoked forever has nothing to do with root and does not retain root for you through updates. All unrevoked forever does is unlock your firmware so you can flash unsigned images so for example if you have a rooted room and accidentally perform an OTA causing you to lose root, with your firmware unlocked, you can just flash a rooted ROM image and you'll have root again.
[EVO 4G Android Development] sdc177:
OP's method worked for me 1st try. Thanks!
[EVO 4G Android Development] kamiller42:
I like method because it goes much quicker than the others. I just hope it works. I am losing count how many times I have tried on my second phone. First phone did it in 5 tries and obviously using same tower. Argh, getting so tired.
[EVO 4G Android Development] Brutal-Force:
12 Attempts no dice. I will keep trying as the number of sucesses seems to be growing.

This reeks of Monkeys trying to figure out how to get a hand full of cookies out of a cookie jar.

monkey find cookie jar filled with cookies.

monkey put hand into cookie jar.

monkey grabbed some cookies.

monkey tried to get hand out of cookie jar.

monkey cannot get hand out of cookie jar due too many cookies held onto monkey's hand.

monkey is in pain as suffering as monkey tried to remove hand from cookie jar, still holding onto the cookies.
[EVO 4G Android Development] dkotoric:
well tried 5 times and still no go.
[EVO 4G Android Development] DaWhip:
haha, exactly. I think this is too many monkeys fighting over too few cookies at the moment.
[EVO 4G Android Development] jpatterson350:
Tried about 30+ times no go in Anaheim CA. I am on rooted stock 2.2 oh well.

Best regards,

[EVO 4G Android Development] starplaya93:
FOLLOWED DIRECTIONS EXACTLY AND IT WORKED FIRST TRY.

Thanks a lot man! I really hope people see your thread first so they dont have to go through the trouble of doing the other methods which may take hours....

P.S I saw some people posting about how you need a strong signal to get the new pri to work however I have terrible signal in my house and this method worked just fine.

On the same note...after trying this my signal strength is still low /:

I havent tested dl speed yet. I will update when I do.
[EVO 4G Android Development] barleysoda:
I think I am on one of those shows and you a guys are all in on it.

...I'm the only one actually doing this arent I?

...I'm going to get charged for 20 phone activations at 36 bucks a pop too and its all part of the show I dont know I'm on yet.
[EVO 4G Android Development] evohog:
I said I needed it because " I think I have I virus" she didn't even ask any questions. I don't think I needed to tell her anything.
[EVO 4G Android Development] kindaskimpy:
Wow that's a whole lot of paranoia in one post. Love it more than the fat chick down the street loves her pimples.
[EVO 4G Android Development] barleysoda:
You think thats bad...I hide my phone in a pipe on the roof of the house because I dont want the Feds to find out I rooted it.
[EVO 4G Android Development] mhaedo:
I called and told them I needed my MSL. They gave it to me no questions asked.
[EVO 4G Android Development] fenixjn:
Meh I tried this, the goonzy method and the other one. On one of these it (almost) killed my data connection bring it down to 16 KB/s fixed. It would drop signal to zero and then connect at that speed. Finally fixed itself. Upgraded radio to .28 and nothing happened. I guess I'll stay with 1.34 for a while.
[EVO 4G Android Development] Philosuffer:
What are the hboot versions on each of your phones? Just wondering if that makes a diff

I'm on a .76 hboot with S-Off (never touched unrevoked - so not sure how I have S-Off)

but I've tried ##3282# and ##786# multiple times using 2.2 stock rooted ROM with no luck - SoCal area
[EVO 4G Android Development] freeza:
SoCal here too and i have tried like 80 times with NO results, same hboot and everything.

I also tried 0.79 hboot, purely stock 2.2 RUU

Fresh Evo v1 (1.47 software OS 2.1)

Fresh Evo v3 (3.26 software OS 2.2)

All sorts of **** and nothing.

Let me know if you figure something out.
[EVO 4G Android Development] kindaskimpy:
Oooh oooh oooh I love being the bearer of good news! Save yourself the morning chance of plummeting off a ladder to your death during your attempt to grab your phone! Rooting and jailbreaking is completely legal according Uncle Sam now.

What does msl stand for? And im using netarchys burt droid rom, you all think this rom may work?

[EVO 4G Android Development] blockhead428:
No one answered my question earlier so I'll ask again: Do you have to be on a 2.2 rom in order for it to work or will this method work while on a 2.1 rom?
[EVO 4G Android Development] pongoface:
N

No problem

Sent while laying tile in a restaurant during the overnight.
[EVO 4G Android Development] Sawawa:
No one knows, at all, when or why or how this works. Your guess is as good as ours.
[EVO 4G Android Development] barleysoda:
I know. I was just trying be funny.

...something to occupy the mind between reboots.

On another note...I'm in NCal so maybe us cali folks are just **** outta luck for a pri update.
[EVO 4G Android Development] DaWhip:
I have seen some reports of it working on 2.1, but the results seem just as scattered as the 2.2 efforts.
[EVO 4G Android Development] madigan82:
Am I missing something? Got my MLS # but when I dial ##3282# it says "Please wait while initiating resources..." and does nothing. Where do I enter edit mode?

edit: flashed dc3.5 and got the window to show with the edit option. apparently bakedsnacks didn't have whatever i was missing.
[EVO 4G Android Development] kindaskimpy:
Well, if you are then so are we all the way down in South Florida. I gave up after about 12 tries. I'll try again tomorrow and hopefully the Sprint gods will smile upon me... or at the very least the Sprint fairy... although I heard she's a *****.

Anyhooters... I gotta go help a farmboy milk a cow...
[EVO 4G Android Development] blockhead428:
Sounds dirty. . .
[EVO 4G Android Development] tauzins:
im in central FL no go either... :/
[EVO 4G Android Development] starkillers:
South Florida no go here either
[EVO 4G Android Development] Just_s:
So I have seen it alluded to in a few posts, but no one has come right out and said it (either not known or just not stated), is there going to be some sort of fee/activation charge after doing this?

If anyone answers "yes", how do you know this/where did this information come from?
[EVO 4G Android Development] enigmatl:
Now, we sat there and wanted this for how long? And somebody did share the method that before was not available so YES somebody is due the bounty. Think about it. We got _exactly_ what the bounty people asked for. Let's not put it out there that they should now welch cause that is what this would be nothing short of. Now, they didn't write a program to do it, they didn't upload a flash, but they did show us how to drive the vehicle we needed to drive to get from point a to point b. So let's not even put out the idea of welching on a place as fine as xda-developers.
[EVO 4G Android Development] herbthehammer:
I give up also. After maybe 1.5 hours of doing this and different variations, I'm throwing in the towel. It's almost 3am in America's Wang and I've been f'ing with this seemingly since maybe 1130 (the first time I remember looking at the clock).

I think this is a joke like a dog trying to Chase It's tail. F this, I admit defeat. Maybe I'll get lucky and someone will make a way that pushes the update to the phone 100% of the time.
[EVO 4G Android Development] herbthehammer:
No fees. I can't say for sure. I've had advanced tech support walk me through this when data connection was flaky. The activation fee only applies once per phone. What I mean is when going from a new out of the box not activated phone to getting it on the air for the first time, that's when there's a fee. If you give that phone to someone else and they get it "programmed" for their line, there's no fee. Understand?
[EVO 4G Android Development] crypt0kiddie:
That is what I was thinking too, waiting for a patch or update that pushes it 100%.

This is ridiculous. Seriously I just went back and tried another dozen or so times, nothing.

I really never had any real issues other then waiting to see IF this helped speeds but frankly, I'm normally by wifi anyway so unless someone comes up with a real patch, screw it.

Thanks for the effort to the guys who thought this up non the less I guess. :(
[EVO 4G Android Development] xviiivx:
I've tried every method 10+ times with no joy. However, I did a speed test just now, and it's much faster than before. I was averaging ~200kbs down, and now I'm getting 800kbs down and 680kbs up. I think resetting does more good than the PRI upgrade. Since it's faster now, I'm going to stop with this insanity of retrying the same thing and expecting different results.
[EVO 4G Android Development] crypt0kiddie:
I was sorta thinking the same thing because I just pulled a 349kbps in my basement, underground with NO BARS, I barely get that in the city with full bars. Normally in my basement my phone just sits there and acts like its thinking about trying a speed test then goes, blah screw you lol. :rolleyes:

I'm curious to try a speed test when I'm out and about tomorrow.
[EVO 4G Android Development] enigmatl:
It worked for me. Here's my experience.

Okay guys. Here's my experience. I tried and failed a few times. I then used Rom Manager to flash to RA. In case anyone wonders, when you're all done and flash back to clockwork, your nand backups will be there. So anyway, after I went to Ra, I did the ##786# whipe and then I rebooted, it went into RA at which time I had the options to whipe. I whiped data, cache, and delvik each twice then rebooted. It went through activation and prl and then looked for rom update (I just cancelled that). I then skipped google/facebook setup and checked menu options. No go. Still, 1.34.

Blah!

So, I ##786#ed again and on the reboot process, I skipped whipe. That is, from Ra, I simply rebooted. I went through activation, prl check, cancelled firmware update check, skipped google/facebook setup, checked menu, and voila! 1.40. Yay!

So, of course, I'm still left with questions. Did NOT whiping from Ra make it work? Or, is sprint RANDOMLY pushing 1.40?

Who knows. But EindhovenOne, freeza, dkotoric1, jpatterson350, and anybody else who keeps getting 1.34 over and over aagain, I am the first person to say I was wondering is this some stupid hoax? Is someone having fun getting us to reset our phones over and over again like it were a 30 second process when each time takes 5+ minutes? NO. I promise it is not a hoax. It is weird, I'll give you that. It's weird that you seemingly randomly get 1.40. But, you do get it. Did I get it because I did not whipe the second time? I'm not sure. But somebody else on here said they forgot to whipe too.

Oh, and Evohog, I think you said something about recovery being skipped and it boots back into the phone? This will happen if you're using clockworkmod as your recovery. For your case, try installing Ra from rom manager.

And just for clarity, my speed went up a little bit and my latency went up a great deal. Also, as per the instructions, the rom I used was steel's rom. Good luck everyone.
[EVO 4G Android Development] dee-vious_dee:
I did the ##786# about 3 times and I got it!!!! I was really thinking it had to be something Sprint needed to send out, cause it's for Sprint Tower. But AWESUM, took a while to get it, but it works good now!!!:D
[EVO 4G Android Development] Just_s:
Got it, thank you for the clarification! :)
[EVO 4G Android Development] blockhead428:
If it helps anyone, I tried this method as well as the ##786# reset method on a 2.1 rom and neither was working, even after 10 tries each. I decided to flash damagecontrol 3.5, then after just 2 tries of this method, it worked. I restored my nandroid back to mikrom 1.0 (which is a 2.1) rom and voila, everything is working great. So I guess it helps to be on a Froyo rom. I'm just waiting on a good one to come out.
[EVO 4G Android Development] rjmjr69:
Interesting note.

Using ##786 then installing bakedsnack1.3 my activation failed and my PRL WAS 1.34 again!!!!!

Redid steps and back to 1.40 so in all reality its tied to the rom or kernal somehow???? Obvioulsy the activation updates it but what downgrades it? I had 1.40 before flashing Bakedsnack

So to verify I flashed calks new rom on my other evo and bypassed the activation and AGAIN prl 1.34

Redid steps had to do it 3 times this time but got the 1.40 back!
[EVO 4G Android Development] Dozenboy0012:
after step # 2 my phone restarts power down not recovery did I miss something?
[EVO 4G Android Development] jerryparid:
Mine did the same. Just check your RPI, if not try a few more times. It took me two 786 resets.
[EVO 4G Android Development] Dozenboy0012:
yup 2nd times a charm with clockwork too...werd
[EVO 4G Android Development] saywhat4118:
woooo!

Worked for me after my second try on Damage Control 3.5

wiped after PRI update to see if it stuck and yup it did. now im gonna go back to CM6 latest Nightly!!! it'll still stick right?
[EVO 4G Android Development] starkillers:
for those who were successful where are you located statewise, tried all methods no love in south florida
[EVO 4G Android Development] freeza:
tried like 80 times, no luck. Southern California.
[EVO 4G Android Development] Dozenboy0012:
Im in Tucson AZ got it 2nd time around on clockwork without any wipe just went to a stock deoxed rom and got my msl thru cdma workshop cuz my sprint operator really couldnt speak english and my patients werent there guess im luccy good lucc 2 the rest of u
[EVO 4G Android Development] Vegasden:
Following enigmatl's lead I tried a similar approach.

First off, I tried both "numbers" and nothing. With 776, my phone looped with clockwork. So I flashed RA. I had read this method and clockwork don't go hand in hand (although some did have success.)

I flashed netarchy's stock rom..

I used the 786 method and DID NOT wipe as enigmatl said worked for him. When the phone went into Recovery, I merely rebooted. I didn't touch the phone at all as it sat for a a minute or so locked and then the activation cycle began. I only acknowledged the 3 prompts. And, while it may not have made any difference, the phone was NOT plugged into a charger during the whole process.

Good luck (and I live in Vegas for those interested in locations).
[EVO 4G Android Development] Smac7:
after several tries, its a no-go here in michigan. i followed the instructions exactly. i also tried the ##DATA# no wipe method and that didnt do anything.

one question though, when i install steelh's rom does it automatically replace my kernal back to stock? i just assumed it would but i never checked.
[EVO 4G Android Development] enigmatl:
Maybe, maybe not. See, this is why we mustn't confuse when to wipe and when not to wipe. So first and foremost, when you install your rom for the purpose of doing this, ALWAYS ALWAYS ALWAYS WIPE just in case. Wipe your data, your cache, and your delva cache.

When I said earlier that I didn't wipe on the second try, I was referring to the part after you do the ##786# wipe and your phone shuts down. In the original set of instructions, there is a wipe here. THIS is the place where not wiping allowed me and some others to get the newer PRI. But don't be confused into thinking any of us would not wipe earlier in the process before flashing a stock rom (like Steel's 2.2 deodexed rom). You always wipe there but apparently you sometimes don't need to wipe after ##786#.

Good luck.
