Dude are you for real...there ain't no devs pissed off at you. They are all laughing because you are trying to claim you fixed the PRI...LOL!!! The PRI fix came from the fact that Sprint released it as a push in a master reset. You happened to be the one that stumbled across it first and posted about it. Good job but if you want my respect then give me respect by telling the truth about this deal...

And yes I was one of the other posters but I got balls to say I did not fix the PRI, I like you stumbled upon it and when I posted I had not read your thread. What we really need at this point is to become more familiar with why they pushed it now.
[EVO 4G Android Development] Goonzy:
Look if I stubled along the way so be it....How your pockets doing PAL? Mine are fine very well and thats without the little bounty of $445.. try triple of that...lol and u dont know whos pissed at me I got a few devs pissed because they thought of it and didnt want to risk there "BABY" yeah I got about 15 dev emails under gmail that were like awwww ****, u ****er type ****... so they waited for someone like me to say it wouldnt get bricked to then take over and find a simple, more easy route to go.. Did anyone post a update workaround to the members...nope.. Was there someone who got it before me...probley.. but thats like toast keeping a kernel to himself.. what does that do for the other guys. nothin.. you see the exterior of this , not the inside which had a team behind it...... TEAM PARADOX:cool:
[EVO 4G Android Development] :
I appreciate the somewhat respectful response and just for the record I am a Registered Nurse in the ER, so my pockets are just fine but thank you for your concern. It's all good and however we actually got it then so be it. The fact that they pushed it does have me wondering why though. In my opinion it is one of 2 reasons: Maybe the gingerbread update is closer than we think or they are trying to completely patch the root exploit. Hmmm...
[EVO 4G Android Development] TorxT3D:
wheres my popcorn at
[EVO 4G Android Development] wy1d:
Worked for me. I nanded back to stock and it took three tries. On the third try I waited about 20 seconds between tapping OK during the activation pop ups. Not sure if this made a difference or not.

Thanks Goonzy.

Swyped on my EVO
[EVO 4G Android Development] :
Ok that was a good one. I'm thinking a popcorn bounty might be a little weak though...LOL!!
[EVO 4G Android Development] stylz3:
With this new universal PRI update, do I have to be on a stock kernel or could I stay on the netarchy 4.0x kernel, to perform this. I'm currently running fresh 3.1.0.1.
[EVO 4G Android Development] thenewguy821:
I think he was referring to the back and forth bickering... kinda like watching a movie. What's a movie without popcorn? lol
[EVO 4G Android Development] Beejis:
Worked for me now, didn't last night however. Must have clogged Sprints systems all at once yesterday, hahahaha. Thanks goonzy!
[EVO 4G Android Development] Reaper333:
You dont have to be using the stock kernel. I did it on DC 3.5 with netarchy kernel and it worked first time.
[EVO 4G Android Development] thenewguy821:
Using update option 1, it didn't work the first time. Just to be sure, I tried again, and it worked perfectly the second time...
[EVO 4G Android Development] r.mauldin:
I tried part 1 and part 2 multiple times. Mine will not update. I looks like everything is doing what it is supposed to do. Just not updating the pri. Unrevoked forever worked. I went back to stock 2.2 and everything. I tried the ##data# reset also multiple time. Nothing. :(
[EVO 4G Android Development] dkotoric:
so did this work for anybody using clockwork
[EVO 4G Android Development] webs05:
Goonzy, you need to update your first post. Anyone that used unrevoked forever will need to update their hboot per Freeza's thread before they can get the PRI. They do not need to do the 5 or 6 step process, just updated hboot, ## code, wipe data, dalvik twice, let it activate. Also I'm not sure if it makes a difference but it looks like I needed amonra too.
[EVO 4G Android Development] zone23:
HOLY CRAP!! IT WORKED!! It took about 5 tries but it worked. Followed OP instructions and it worked. I was on 1.34 just kept doing it and BAM!!!!! PRI 1.40. ITS TRUE IT DOES WORK.
[EVO 4G Android Development] bprinehart:
I was able to get this with eng hboot, without updating anything, and without wiping anything except for the automatic data and cache wipe when the phone booted into recovery. The only thing you need to do is ##786# until it takes.
[EVO 4G Android Development] fastv8:
Tried this morning at 7:30am Central. No luck. Fresh ROM. Will try later.
[EVO 4G Android Development] bbedward:
***LOOK AT ME***!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! I DUN IT GIVE ME MEHZ MONEY NOT YOU

this is a little ridiculous, I've been doing linux development for years and I think these bounties are laughable, what else do you expect, people want it it'll happen eventually
[EVO 4G Android Development] mdwoods:
Tried several times time morning, still no go. will keep trying and post back.

Sprint hands out the msl code very easily. So I would go that route before going the other.
[EVO 4G Android Development] FusionX:
Goonzy

OP, your attitude and the way you conduct yourself is ridiculous... it's people that act like you that make me wonder what happened to you that you are so unhappy with who you are that you need to go at everyone else? Makes forums crowded with garbage...

You should try actually developing something and then posting a real thread.

I noticed the tags for this thread are as follows:

"1.40, didn't come up with it, give credit to avalaunch, give credit where due, hot pockets, please close this thread, pri"

So what did you even really do? Post a link to an image?

Further you bring up pockets being full... oh boy $1,200.... I can make that on one sale in less than a week. And then to bring up people being "white and nerdy" you look pretty damn white in your picture yourself.

Who's the nerd? Trying to stake claim to a 1.4 fix you didn't come up with???

Too bad your only on probation bud, you should be banned with your racist comments and overly abundant foul language.

Enjoy your hot pockets, hopefully they don't clog your arteries sooner than later.

"Peace Dogg"
[EVO 4G Android Development] zone23:
You guys all make sure you stop at the store and pick up some maxi-pads on your way to work this morning. Reality is we all had one common goal and the goal has been achieved. Quite bickering. If you didn't like the OP attitude thats fine but coming here and giving attitude back doesn't prove anything.
[EVO 4G Android Development] myersn024:
I started from CM6 last night, and flashed Fresh 3.1.0.1 so I could use the ## codes. Took four tries to get the updated PRI. After that, I nanded back to CM6 and then reflashed Fresh 3.1.0.1 just to see what would happen. 1.40 PRI is still there! I use Amon's recovery.

I'm hoping that this will fix a problem that I've been having with my phone. For some reason, if I leave network time and network location enabled my phone would go into a partial wake scenario and would run my battery down. Maybe with the new PRI it won't be hunting around for those signals like it was before.
[EVO 4G Android Development] njfoses:
No go in South Jersey tried a bunch of times with different roms and still stuck on 1.34.
[EVO 4G Android Development] dkotoric:
ok it finally worked for me after like a million tries, but can do a nan restore now to my CyanogenMod Rom, just want to make sur ethe 1.4 will stick before I do that.
[EVO 4G Android Development] FusionX:
Quit* :D
[EVO 4G Android Development] timtlm:
Why does the title say non-wipe method? Both directions clearly say wipe in them. The directions still suck. You shouldn't say wipe everything twice. If you truly wipe everything, you would end up with no rom to boot into. You should say wipe cache and dalvik only. Just saying.
[EVO 4G Android Development] fldash:
Huh? You can wipe data and your ROM is still there... Maybe I'm misunderstanding... but you don't need to wipe for this method, after you do ##786# the recovery wipes upon startup. And this wiping twice nonsense, is just that, nonsense. If you wipe, you wipe, no need to do it twice.
[EVO 4G Android Development] zone23:
PS Love your work man!
[EVO 4G Android Development] FusionX:
I disagree, wiping twice has reduced issues that I have encountered in the past. Bottom line is why not just do it, it takes what, an extra 12 seconds total? Just sayin.

Haha, thanks bro!
[EVO 4G Android Development] timtlm:
Yes you are right, you get to keep the rom without having to flash back. Either way, you are doing a factory reset which causes you to lose all your apps and data (which I was equating to wiping). So, you will want to nandroid backup anyway.
[EVO 4G Android Development] zone23:
I agree and actually I couldn't get it to work until I wiped data once, cache, and dalvik twice. I don't know why but until then it wouldn't update. I wiped everything twice and 4 out of 5 times it didn't work.
[EVO 4G Android Development] fldash:
Placebo. You just happened to get it after doing that, wiping umpteen times as no affect otherwise people that didn't bother wiping at all wouldn't get it, and there have been quite a few posts where people haven't wiped and gotten the update.

I've tried wiping 2 times, 3 times, no times, under 3 different ROMs, and different levels of signal, and I still have not gotten the PRI update.
[EVO 4G Android Development] zone23:
Call it what ever you like so I got lucky on the 5th try so what? I'm on 1.40 you can wipe any order you want or don't wipe at all I don't really care. Just sharing MY EXPERIENCE if you ever get yours to update doing it YOUR way come back and let us know. I'll be sure to let you know that it was the placebo too.
[EVO 4G Android Development] mdwoods:
did it 5 times with just the ##786# while runing the rooted 2.2 ota, could not get it to go. Decided to do the ##786# and on reboot reinstall the .zip of the 2.2 rooted ota. once i did this my pri updated to 1.4 on the first try after booting.
[EVO 4G Android Development] fldash:
You apparently have no idea what placebo means. If I ever get it to work, it won't be placebo, it'll be dumb luck that I just happened to finally get it. Go jump off a cliff.
[EVO 4G Android Development] zone23:
Don't jump off a cliff man its just a phone..

You guys all just so tuff, and uptight all the time on XDA. Its just too bad I've been abuse so much that I tend to just look past it anymore. I try to stay focused and help if I can. I think about slamming people, sometimes I even type it out. Then I will just read and say you know it just isn't worth it.
[EVO 4G Android Development] fldash:
You are the one that snapped back at me first.

If you knew anything about scientific method or how electronics work and read all the reports here, you would know wiping (nor how many times you wipe) has absolutely NOTHING to do with whether you get the update. At this point, the only think you can deduce is that it may be based on what tower you get connected to and a little bit of random luck on if the tower wants to send it down to you.
[EVO 4G Android Development] zone23:
Ya it seems to be pretty random I was on the same tower.
[EVO 4G Android Development] chino0131:
Man, this thread is really going to sh*t. Kinda reminds me of the furms I used to visit for the Palm Pre when I had it. There was no respect to anyone unless you had a high comment count or were a Developer. There are plenty of talented and knowledgable people out there that visit forums to grow their knowledge base you know.

I'll be trying this out later to see if it works. My cuz just tried and said it worked for him. We're both in Washington, DC.

Goonzy - thanks for the thread, I hope this works for me. One piece of advice, be true to yourself all you want. I personally don't care how you spell, talk, whatever. Some of the smartest minds can't spell all that well, and frankly dont have sh*t for grammar. I make well over 6 figures as a governement contractor. And you know what, I can't spell worth a damn and my grammar isnt sh*t on paper. I have a receptionist to correct my spelling errors. However, how you present yourself determines if people will take you seriously, regardless of your grammar or the way you spell. When someone says they've jizzed all over faces, both men and women since this is an open forum to both men and women, I'd be calling that person a fag and not take them too seriously. No disrespect, just My two cents. I know it's just a saying, but still. My two cents is that you should also get the bounty if you did in fact find a fix first (havent researched it myself). I always have a theory that the majority of people on forums who say they'll contribute to a bounty will never pay in the end and will look for any reason why someone like you shouldnt get paid if you did what they asked. After all, anyone can say what they want and be what they want on the internet.
[EVO 4G Android Development] mawst95:
I was always taught that original ideas are important. When I'm writing a science paper (I'm a biologist) I cite someone's work whether I am quoting it, paraphrasing it, or even if my idea was borne out of their original idea however unrefined. To do otherwise is plagiarizing.

Look at the first root methods for the Evo--what were they? 40+ steps long? That paved the way for 10 step methods, then 3 step "quick root" methods and so on. But if you trace the advancements back, you find the person with the original idea that got everyone after over the hump. It is right and proper to cite that person as the source of the idea and that's how its done in every professional field that I know of.

I don't know if the fundamental idea of doing this was Gonzo's, but if it was, then the credit goes to him. Bad grammar, bad attitude doesn't matter. If this were toast or CM we wouldn't even be having this debate about credit.

Am I to understand that the people that originate the idea are no longer credited on this forum and it's the persons that advance/perfect the idea that receive all the praise? Am I also to understand that the amount of credit you receive is proportional to your grammar and civility? I'm not implying you need to like or even respect Gonzo, but, if the original idea (unrefined as it was) was his, then you MUST give him credit.

Ok so did everything step 1 says to and setup after reboot keeps force closing any Ideas, I went back re-wiped and reflashed baked-snack's latest still Fc's:confused:

[EVO 4G Android Development] cb7tuner93:
Reflashed Bakedsnack and it still keeps fc on setup screen!
[EVO 4G Android Development] fazzmanic:
After many many tries i was able to get it work with this method in combination of TheMike1.
[EVO 4G Android Development] cb7tuner93:
Success

Ok so got past setup screen and YES PRI is 1.40 thank you!:D
[EVO 4G Android Development] pongoface:
Lol love your edits goonie. First you had this long drawn out scheme, oh yeah option numero dos. Then you accuse others of idea stealing. Then you update your post to what rmrjr posted hmmm. Pot call the kettle black much. Anyways, if u google 1. 40pri, the idea was originally generated for the sprint hero i believe. Sprint pushed pri's way back when and are doing the same now. Take down your donation link you don't deserve anything. Trying to take peoples money for nothing.You bum. Might as well go panhandle in Vegas. I hear they have a union for that too lol.
[EVO 4G Android Development] fastv8:
Finally got the PRI updated using this method - Town & Country/St. Louis, MO metro area. After the second failed attempt I loaded the rooted OTA as someone else suggested. Took 5-6 times overall, alternating between ##3282# and this. ##786# worked though.

Did a Nandroid restore of my Fresh ROM and the PRI is still 1.40_003 - it did not revert to 1.34.
[EVO 4G Android Development] OneStepAhead:
you nailed it. maybe he can use the money for typing/spelling lessons!
[EVO 4G Android Development] zone23:
I think that after this fiasco that all bounties from this point forward should be banned. This is what money does it turns an entire community against each other. People can't even focus on what they were doing too worried about grammar, spelling and money.
[EVO 4G Android Development] OneStepAhead:
for me it's not about the bounty, he even said he didnt want it (all while adding a donate link and commenting how hes made over 1200 already (doubtful). it's that he didn't actually do anything. a master reset is not a new idea, and Sprint is the one sending out the fix-- not gonads or whatever his nick is. this is something htc and sprint fixed, period.
[EVO 4G Android Development] lwarranty:
It was a given Sprint / HTC would push...

As I posted earlier in the "bounty" thread, the overall cost of bricked devices, customer support, confusion, refurbs and replacements with 1.34, etc - it would be in the best interest to push. However I am not suggesting my opinion was heard or acted upon by Sprint/HTC, rather I couldn't get my mind around the total cost/impact while folks were hammering on devices.

As for the remaining methods, there is no "standard" on what it takes to get 1.4, as I have tried many times. But it seems a simple 786 or 3282 will get it done if it's available. My next thought is, the impact of repeated activation requests will be on the systems. Regardless of the systems and servers being utilized, I cannot image the additional traffic and overall resources needed to increase the activation process - perhaps thousand of times per hour.

I may be way off base - but MSL might be harder to get as time goes on?

But in the end, I believe Sprint/HTC's was ill prepared for the load on resources, stock and support for the Android/Evo world, IMHO - pushing 1.4 is a great response from an excellent company...
[EVO 4G Android Development] freeza:
Let me tell you right now:

-It has nothing at all to do with what ROM you use short of if that ROM supports ## codes.

-It has nothing at all to do with how many times you wipe, what order you wipe, or what method you wipe.

-It has nothing to do with using ##786# vs ##3282#

-It has nothing to do with what recovery you use.

-It has nothing to do with what hboot you use.

-It has nothing to do with if you use unrevoked forever or unrevoked3.

IT HAS EVERYTHING to do with location, luck, and tower status.

I have tried literally EVERY single suggestion made by countless people with NO success in southern california (pasadena)

Infact, I am on the SteelH Stock 2.2 ROM trying various combinations of ##786# and ##3282# with absolutely no difference in anything except time wasted.
[EVO 4G Android Development] P_Dub_S:
Get in your car hop on the 210 east Drive to Azusa ave exit, park and reactivate. I updated my PRI I live in Azusa like 15 minutes from Pasadena.
[EVO 4G Android Development] arielb27:
Wow,

This is nuts. I also have tried many different ways from step by step in the first post, to even doing the ##3282# as well as wiping and putting on about 5 different roms.

For me it's not working. I have tried it at least 3 or 4 times on each rom. Still it's a no go. So I feel it's a part of location and towers. Yes you have to get your phone to re-activate to get it. It's just a question of location.

Hope to someday find the right tower that will give me the update. But for now I will keep trying from time to time.

Smh. I gotta do this one day when I have more free time. And backup all my apps and nand backup.

[EVO 4G Android Development] thefredelement:
##786 method worked for me.

I have clockwork recovery and was on a CM6 nightly.

I downloaded the 2.2 OTA rooted, odexed zip

I did a nandroid back up

I wiped everything twice, I do that anyway when I switch ROMs.

I flashed the 2.2 OTA update zip file.

I did the ##786# method about 6 - 8 times, the last time it took.

Restored my nandroid. (I had to shutdown, then press vol up and the power button, boot in to the boot loader, select recovery and it rebooted in to clockwork).

Try install a stock rooted Rom...I got it work by doing that, couldn't do it without a stock Rom.

Hey guys. I am having trouble accessing the EPST menu. I dial ##786# and get a message that says "Please wait while initiating resource..." and then nothing happens. It just stays in the dialer. What's going on?

what does the PRI update do? does iit make it anything better?

[EVO 4G Android Development] Goonzy:
yes but u need to be rooted with unrevoked and there is two files with the same name but one is 180ish megs and the other is a recovery so u can restore your nandroid back-up . the big one first (2.2)ROM and the other one AFter u activate. just follow the steps... first post baby first post

...:D
[EVO 4G Android Development] Goonzy:
the first time u set up the new .6 OTA Rom u CANT sign in into gmail like usual untill you activate your phone and update your software. It even says ACTIVATING.. I can only show u the way ..now u must fly..(flash it already!!!):eek:
[EVO 4G Android Development] EVO-lution of Man:
enough arguing please. does this work? we should really focus on that.
[EVO 4G Android Development] PlankLongBeard:
Actual ZIp..?

Having signature issues.. No signature at all with the zip Goonz, so it aborted.. With the one you have created. I see you included Amon's recovery so we don't have to flash the recovery again?

This isn't the one you used initially is it? This was packaged again, which is great to avoid the recovery flash, but, it's not flashing..

Need the Actual 2.2 PC36IMG.zip.. Thanks..
[EVO 4G Android Development] Goonzy:
yep.....:D:rolleyes:;)
[EVO 4G Android Development] superevilllama:
Isnt that the point of unrevoked forever.. can flash without signatures? If that is so than this is possibly going to work if it contains the newer PRI. On the even brighter side, if the PC36IMG file contains the PRI, it can also be packed into a signed update.zip for everyone else!
[EVO 4G Android Development] PlankLongBeard:
Recoveries?

Yeah, but it might be Amon's recovery, It really tends to do that.. Clockwork, is more open to this..

Is anybody else doing this with us? :confused:

I mean it is good for teamwork.. :)

[EVO 4G Android Development] SteveDusa:
Okay the full zip won't flash in the recovery, returned an error of update script not found.

However it's flashing in the HBOOT.

Let's see what happens!
[EVO 4G Android Development] superevilllama:
For people that are failing the flash, and more willing to be the guiniea pig than I am, did you follow the instructions and flash the unrevoked forever? That was the point of why were were waiting for that program; to be able to flash things without signature verification.
[EVO 4G Android Development] Goonzy:
Yes.. Iam Using RA-recovery in the zip. if you cant flash it or it gives u a abort code ur using clockwork. u need to flash the RA- recovery PCS36.IMG first to allow it to do its thing then u can flash. NOTE>>>> If you prefer clockwork recovery u can download it off of UNrevoked site and flash it after your process is done.:D
[EVO 4G Android Development] dcmtnbkr:
Just becuase you dont want to apply the fix doesnt mean it isnt fixed.
