More Data:

Flashed to stock 2.2 rooted rom, followed the ##786# MSL reset,

Cleared data, cleared cache, cleared Dalvik,

And it worked on the second try.

My 3g jumped from ~500 kbps to ~2000 kbps after the pri update. :D

Still having no luck in OKC, OK, 3 hours last night, 1 hour this morning.
[EVO 4G Android Development] campchi:
You will need to flash the stock kernel for it to work.
[EVO 4G Android Development] linflas:
Tried a dozen times here in Portland, OR. No luck for me, multiple roms, stock odex de-odex, DC, BS, Calk's, tried a bunch. No love for 1.40 on my EVO.

Try again another day.
[EVO 4G Android Development] playya:
I am sure you probably tried this but do you have Amon recovery, mine did not work until I flashed that thru Simpleroot and then hard reset nand restore and boot up.... The process is in the OTA handset activation doing all that extra wiping in my opinion does nothing...
[EVO 4G Android Development] TorxT3D:
no dice, did the ##786# trick, got msl no hassle from *2

stock froyo official/final netarchy odex'd, did all the wiping, reseting, activating, no pri update. memphis, tn. 7am central time.

try one more time then i'll worry about it later.

2nd try, nope, no update. sux.

3rd try, nope, no update, didnt wipe. sux.
[EVO 4G Android Development] zonyl:
10 times from Fresh 3.1.0.1 and no go.

On the positive side, I was wondering the other day how I could remember my MSL: Problem solved ;)

Ill try again in an hour or so from a completely different geographical location.
[EVO 4G Android Development] linflas:
Have pretty much only used Amon_Ra's recovery since I got the EVO, used clockwork the first week getting to know the EVO and android, then switched to RA and never looked back.

Thanks for the thought though.
[EVO 4G Android Development] fldash:
I tried for 3 hours last night in my house 2/3 bars using stock 2.1 and stock 2.2 final (both rooted, I'm running ENG HBOOT). Another 2 hours so far this morning with full bars/signal, still nothing...

Can someone please figure out a way to extract it out of the phone, this is ridiculous.

I'm in OKC, OK.
[EVO 4G Android Development] njfoses:
Im in South Jersey and had no luck as well.
[EVO 4G Android Development] teshxx:
yup i did the same thing last nite and now have pri 1.40 ... i used unrevoked foreva and everythin is working like a charm...
[EVO 4G Android Development] dkotoric:
so after we have 1.4 we can do a nandroid back up and go back to lets say my CM6 rom and I won't loose the 1.4 right.
[EVO 4G Android Development] playya:
I am in Ft Lauderdale area and I got it on my 2nd shot last night after I flashed to Amon recovery....thats what worked for me
[EVO 4G Android Development] TorxT3D:
for those of us having problems.. it wouldnt have anything to do with flashing these radios we find at xda would it??

doesnt the pri information get flashed into the radio image or something?

i dont understand where this data is stored so permanently...
[EVO 4G Android Development] marcog42:
I really don't think all of this stuff is necessary. All I did was a data reset from Fresh and it worked after two tries. I didn't use unrevoked forever, I didn't wipe cache or dalvik. Nothing. All I did was ##786# reset. I'm pretty sure all those extra steps are not needed and it's just a matter of having to reset to get the hands free activation to run, and I think that people are having to do multiple tries because Sprint is not pushing the PRI every single time.
[EVO 4G Android Development] Sporkman:
ohio here i tried 20 + times with this way and other ##786# method with no luck i dont think its in my area yet

Tried 3x using the ##3282# method, and no luck in SE Michigan.
[EVO 4G Android Development] nick cannon:
Got it in NYC

i got it in NYC after trying this method around 15 times last night and finally this morning going thru with the 786 wipe method like 8 times got it and there is a definite improvement in went from 631kbps to 1789kbps.
[EVO 4G Android Development] tpdtopcop:
I am in Ohio here and worked for me on the seventh try last night.

I was rooted with simple ota 1.47 , then went back to all stock and did the OTA 2.2. Still had the 1.34. Did this new way and bam back to 1.40.
[EVO 4G Android Development] mrvirginia:
haha, funny...

tried this method twice and it wouldn't work.

tried the ##786# way and it worked first time :)

thanks to all who've been involved with finding a way to up date the PRI. cheers!

[EVO 4G Android Development] mrvirginia:
yes. i did a nand BU. then wiped everything twice lol then flashed the file in this thread http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=743781

got the updated PRI, then did full wipes again and restored my nand BU. perfecto

edit: only thing i had to change was the Sprint banner. for some reason it went back to "Sprint" instead of blank like i had it.

edit2: just got 1192 dl in speedtest app on 3G. i've never gotten that high on a Sprint PRL

[EVO 4G Android Development] TorxT3D:
^^ since youre using a different rom than most have been testing with, no wiping, and basic reseting, sounds to me like its an city location or area push problem...

if you can get it from that method you just stated, then its gotta be either a signal problem or limited city push problem that the rest of us are experiencing.

this worked for me after the 8th try. I am running DC 3.5 final.
[EVO 4G Android Development] jazz0420:
I just wanted to put my two cents in bout all this. I can confirm that this works, but it took me several hours to get it! It took over 20 tries with 3 different roms! I was on stock 2.2 when it finally took. It didn't really do much for my speeds, they are usually around 1mb down/ 1/2mb up. Anyways, there is no exact science in how this works, just keep trying.

[EVO 4G Android Development] mdwoods:
Was running stock 2.2 rooted with pri 1.34. Tried 5 times to get it to go and could not. On last attempt once i did ##768# and rebooted i reloaded the 2.2 ota root after wiping everything. Once i did this it activated and updated the pri the first time.

Sarasota Florida area is my location.
[EVO 4G Android Development] alafferty:
Also after I got the 1.40_003 PRI I recovered my backup and still have the 1.40_003 PRI

Ya, I'm seeing big improvements in Austin (arboretum area, their worst coverage in town) after getting this to go through.
[EVO 4G Android Development] fazzmanic:
Was able to get it to work by adding a stock rom then following the steps from the OP.

Took prolly 15 tries.
[EVO 4G Android Development] liquidrezin:
That doesn't look like ranma's instructions :) I followed ranma's instructions minus the unrevoked and it worked...

Basically i think if you start with the ROM that he listed in his instructions (steel's stock rooted froyo), do the ##786# ml reset, wipe, and reboot it should work... I tried the same steps using netarchy's stock rooted, but it didnt work for some reason. Good luck.
[EVO 4G Android Development] liquidrezin:
After PRI update...

My Last.FM can now stream high quality audio without the music stopping in the middle. The only way previous to PRI 1.40 I could stream was with low quality audio... Thanks to pongo, ranma and those that lead everybody in the right direction. The update definitely helps me.
[EVO 4G Android Development] fldash:
I've tried SteelH's multiple times and nothing. It doesn't matter what ROM you are running or if you wipe. It's tower, signal, and luck based.
[EVO 4G Android Development] get-Apache:
still trying minneapolis

tried for 10+ times still on 1.34 with fresh 3.1.0.1 and netarchy 4.0.3a and manup theme. Will try to flash stock rom. Have tried full wipe as well.. It may be related to Sprint servers not holding this OTA to pull down.
[EVO 4G Android Development] guyver2077:
anyone lose their data connection after reboot.. mine says service unavailable

hands free activation did not prompt.

dc 3.5

edit- power cycled and hands free started. no PRI update but PRL did update
[EVO 4G Android Development] biggggant:
Only took two tries for me and I have the new PRI..I'm in jacksonville fl
[EVO 4G Android Development] jd9900:
It can matter what Rom you are running. For example the latest baked snack Rom will let me enter the ## commands but it does not pull up the menus needed. This was confirmed twice with a clean wipe on my evo. Wiped and installed dc 3.5 final and was able to use the phone commands while getting the proper menus. I'm kind of afraid to reinstall another Rom. :-)
[EVO 4G Android Development] liquidrezin:
I don't know what it's based on, but after trying numerous times using netarchy's stock rooted, it didn't take.. first time using ranma's instructions with the SteelH it worked... maybe a coincidence, but I didn't move and my signal at my apartment is 0 to 3 bars consistently... <shrug>
[EVO 4G Android Development] liquidrezin:
Yeah I can't get ##786# to work on Baked either....
[EVO 4G Android Development] PeoplesHelper:
If you are having a problem with the##786# it can be from old epst apk.

I finally got it to work.

Booted into clockwork recovery.

Wiped Cache/Delvic cache.

flashed Stock Rooted rom (Deodexed).

System reset/factory restore.

reboot.

After handsfree activation concluded I had 1.403.

Boot into recovery, restored Nandroid back up.

Still had 1.403.

From Northwest Indiana.

Thanks Everyone.
[EVO 4G Android Development] dangerruss:
Worked for me. Running burnt droid rom, netarchy 4.03 kernal, and clockwork recovery. No need to wipe anything. Thanks for cutting out all the bull**** from all the other posts.

did you use factory reset or the reboot method?

No PRI update in the Boston area. Tried multiple times with no luck, I even did a complete factory reset.

SAINTS FAN EH? I live bout 35 minutes to Nawlins...ok 35 to slidell...LOL
[EVO 4G Android Development] kyleblakepeters:
This method worked for me, but with a variation:

1. Nandroid current ROM setup.

2. Wipe data/cache (like normal, nothing special aka. multiple wipes).

3. Flash the stock rooted OTA ROM posted by Netarchy, along with stock kernel.

4. Reboot.

5. Skip all steps on first boot, and go right to ##786#.

6. Enter MSL and reset phone.

7. Let phone reset as normal, no need to go into recovery at all.

8. Let Hands Free Activation finish.

9. Complete

I did not get it to take till my 3rd time, I just replayed steps 5-9 until it finally took. Once it was all done, I nandroided back to my setup, and 1.40_003 was there! Thanks for all the help guys!
[EVO 4G Android Development] mikevillarroel:

OK, this my take on most first shots. first be 2.2 rooted ,have RA recovery at default, do nand backup,then while there wipe data,cache,an dalvik-cache reboot....bypass login go to phone pad ##786#.........First shot!!!;) again if you are having problems with ##786# can be new epst apk need old one http://xdaforums.com/attachment.php?attachmentid=376738&d=1281375059

[EVO 4G Android Development] mwbarb:
It Works!

I followed this exactly except for not having unrevoked and it worked on the first try. I previously tried 5 times doing this with Fresh Evo 3.1.0.1 and Netarchy's 4.02 Kernel to no avail. I'm in Jersey City, NJ and it worked the first time following the instructions above. Thanks so much for your help!
[EVO 4G Android Development] tbadlov:

Hey man.. what's goin on....

No luck yet... still trying...
[EVO 4G Android Development] Iceman5000:
I disagree. I tried it over 30 times with no success. As soon as I flashed a stock rooted rom, it updated first try. Same towers. Coincidence? I don't think so.

Well, if that's true why haven't I got it yet? I'm on the same stock rooted ROM and have been trying since last night.
[EVO 4G Android Development] crakerjaks:
so this works with amon recovery but not clockwork?
[EVO 4G Android Development] PeoplesHelper:
Why are you guy changing roms for? If rooted no need for that...If you are having loops is because you need to wipe, if you have problems with ##786# then you need old epst apk http://xdaforums.com/attachment.php?attachmentid=376738&d=1281375059 , An have Ra recovery as default, do nand backup, while there do WIPE data,cache,dalvik-cache,reboot ##786#......done, do nand restore....:confused:

Got my MSL from Sprint after a 1 minute phone call. Super easy. I WAS rooted but got tired of playing with my phone all the time (I know, I know...lame). So I'm now Stock FroYo.

Tried 3x here near the downtown Chicago area with no success. At least I have the MSL code and method to try when in other areas.
[EVO 4G Android Development] panamakid:
sweet,

this was quick and simple..

called sprint and said, HEY whats up with your service? my PRI is not updated, can I have my MSL code so I can do it myself please?

got my code

did that they said to do on here, and on the second try I got it.

fully rooted still, nothing broke.

3rd time lucky!

I used the recommended SteelH rooted stock FroYo ROM, NANDROID'd (was already running Amon_Ra as I rooted through the toast method long ago), wiped everything twice, flashed the FroYo ROM, rebooted, did the ##786#, reboot, wiped everything...Didn't change from 1.34, did the ##786#, rebooted, didn't wipe, still no good, did it again, wiped everything this time (as it said, do wipes odd times), worked, 1.40_003!

[EVO 4G Android Development] rjmjr69:
No way to get on another tower?

What server does speed test hook upto?
[EVO 4G Android Development] freeza:
Have no idea, but speed test goes through a random data server closest to your location (connected through your cell tower of course)

At any rate, there isn't a single thing I haven't tried. I will just have to assume that a weaker signal area will probably yield better results. I have fantastic signal here, -60dBm or more. I will have to go driving around the city to find some sort of weak spot to try this again.
[EVO 4G Android Development] Philosuffer:
I'm near the same area as him, SoCal...no go either. Tried many of the same things he has.

Not sure about him, but my speedtest.net app hooks up to Wichita, Kansas :rolleyes:

I was thinking of forcing in a different home agent (to force in a different tower), but if ##786# or ##3282# resets that info anyway, it probably wouldn't make sense, but F it... I might try it.

Info on changing home agent here http://www.evdoforums.com/thread2001.html

Right now my:

Primary Home Agent is 255.255.255.255 (search for nearest tower)

Secondary Home Agent is 68.28.57.76 (Anaheim, CA)
[EVO 4G Android Development] freeza:
I'm about to restore my nandroid and call it a day. Let me know if you have any success :)
[EVO 4G Android Development] freeza:
Exact same Secondary Home Agent.
[EVO 4G Android Development] fldash:
As am I... Is it simply not possible to pull this off a phone that has it?
[EVO 4G Android Development] freeza:
I'm sure there is, except either no one knows how, or none of the top dogs have bothered with it yet.
[EVO 4G Android Development] mac_evo:
Tried x1 here in South Central PA with no luck. Will try again later.
[EVO 4G Android Development] Philosuffer:
As suspected, ##3282# resets home agent, so doesn't make sense to change it, because it gets cleared before the hands free activation even starts anyway.
[EVO 4G Android Development] freeza:
Here's an idea: reset via ##3282#, cancel the handsfree activation, change sec home agent, reboot and let handsfree activation try again?
[EVO 4G Android Development] hydralisk:
I'm starting to doubt this process.... sigh.

Followed the instructions to the letter 3 times already. About to start my 4th run though...

Using the ROM pointed out by enigmatl.

Every single time I boot up, update PRL, cancel firmware, skip through setup and PRI is still 1.34 :mad:
[EVO 4G Android Development] dahray02:
tried about 15 times from my job in austin...will try later in the day and when i get home i'll try
[EVO 4G Android Development] Philosuffer:
Good idea, trying now...

I'll change the primary and secondary just in case.

The primary obviously is used first and that one could just as easily connect to Anaheim, so I'll force both to some other location - gonna try Chicago since there seems to be a few successes from there.
[EVO 4G Android Development] freeza:
Awesome, awaiting results :)
[EVO 4G Android Development] kindaskimpy:
Going on 30 tries now with 3 different ROMs, including the one recommended by the OP and still on PRI 1.34. I've officially given up. I guess it's just not being pushed out here in Miami yet.
[EVO 4G Android Development] fldash:
Let me know how that works out... I tried the low signal thing by sticking my phone in a anti-static bag. Didn't work...
[EVO 4G Android Development] Philosuffer:
Meh. Hands Free Activation must set the Home Agents anyway.

Did ##3282#, pressed restore, automatic reboot

Canceled Hands Free

Did ##3282# (confirmed all info was cleared out still), entered my own home agents

Commit modifications, automatic reboot

Hands Free activation

Home agents were changed back to 255.255.255.255 and 68.28.57.76

Still on 1.34_003 PRI....:mad:

[EVO 4G Android Development] fldash:
FUUUUUU So sick of jacking with this ****. Guess I'm flashing back to my CM6 and hopefully someone pulls the PRI out of the phone and offers it. This method of chasing our tails trying to get it is for the birds.
[EVO 4G Android Development] freeza:
Damn, this is horrible.

dude, seriously. I feel so stupid having to do something so primitive to get a simple PRI update. It's not even about the PRI anymore. After trying so many times, I feel like a failure if I don't accomplish this.
[EVO 4G Android Development] vadimr2:
I think the trick here is to have that stupid Sprint Promotions.apk installed, I did this on stock rom so many times and never worked until I realized I deleted all sprint apps. Put it back and got 1.40
[EVO 4G Android Development] shockwaveaz:
This has me so frustrated! Ugh!! I have tried at home and at work over 50 times total. Although some are able to get it to update I don't consider this PRI solved. I said what what in the butt...what what in the butt... Lost my Fn mind..smh
