Haha, worked for me. Does anybody get the bounty if sprint is the one that fixed it? LoL.
[EVO 4G Android Development] elas123:
how long does the reset take while in ## thing mine is taking forever?
[EVO 4G Android Development] cosine83:
Might be placebo effect, but pages are definitely loading faster for me on 3G. I use the internet on my phone fairly often. Youtube videos are definitely coming down faster.
[EVO 4G Android Development] DomSim:
figured it would work without unrevoked. btw if you missed it when i mentioned it earlier, if you get stuck on the handsfree activation move to an area with better signal. or click the "manual" button then click activate on the new "sprint zone" page that loads.
[EVO 4G Android Development] TheMike1:
PLEASE EXPLAIN TO ME:

Why we cannot use ##3282# to accomplish this SAME thing without having to Factory Reset as this is an easier way to Clear Data Profile and Start the Hands Free Activation Procedure??

##3282#

Edit Mode

Enter MSL

Data Profile --> Menu --> Restore... Let Device Reboot...

Am I missing something or just being ignored?

Also, will people confirm is there anything different that happens when you Finally do get the updated PRI? Such as does it finally find a firmware update, take longer on PRL update etc?? Or is it seemingly no different and just voila you have 1.40 all of a sudden?
[EVO 4G Android Development] freeza:
Ok this didn't work for me. Flashing official 2.2 RUU and trying agani.
[EVO 4G Android Development] emulatorx:
tried 3 times no good .. will try maybe one or 2 more times then just restore my nand :(
[EVO 4G Android Development] Doward:
Negative, hands free activated and still 1.34 PRI.

Attempting profile update - still PRI 1.34 / PRL 60669
[EVO 4G Android Development] rjmjr69:
Yes is works damn why dont people try instead of asking and asking and asking and making comments to the contrary? It might work the first shot it might not work until the 15th it does not matter what rom you use or if your rooted or not. Just do a factory reset with method described

Op should get the bounty he did figure it out or at least got us on the right path lol.....
[EVO 4G Android Development] v_lestat:
i have been waiting to chime in, having some laughs, and also some concerns.

this comment to me is one of pure ignorance, and i do NOT mean you are ignorant, i just mean you are turning a blind eye to the very obvious security risk this creates.

since security was security and phones were phones people have been trying to break into them, be it packet sniffing , bluetooth, wifi or just stealing a phone and ripping the persons personal info of it....

now.. here comes a patch to circumvent any and all security that HTC/Sprint/Google have tried to implement into your phone.

now not only can someone get into your phone (method of their choice) but they can run unsigned code... to completely rape you of all your information that you may keep there.

am i being a little scared.. sure.

could any dev having a bad day sign a zip for people to flash and have it put some crazy malicious code on your phone to call home and give them all your data,,, sure.

but now... anyone can do it... anytime anywhere

i for one think the unrevoked team should not have released this.

i think its like releasing to the public a program that can circumvent any windows machine anytime. all you have to do is gain access to the computer (be it download or direct input) and say run killcomputer.exe

its like back in my tech support days we used to joke about telling stupid customers who shouldn't be on a computer to type deltree c:\*.* into a command prompt.

recently there has come to light certain market apps that were blatant trojans, and i applaud google for catching and removing them, but there were some hackers who did get a wallpaper app into the market that would literally rob you blind of some important personal data and upload it to some place in china (or somewhere)....

this to me is a malicious hackers dream come true... we just opened the flood gates for them.

on the flip side, it's a bad ass hack and opens the flood gates to all kinds of modifications to your phone.

all i want to know is where the f*** is the usb tether hack....

(i am still floored that this has not been hacked like wifi tether for rooted phones)

and to anyone who says if you dont read the applications notes when you try to install it about "this application can access,,,,,,,,," then i say to you **** ******.

every single app i have used has had access to things. calls made, IM's, SMS, text messages, etc etc.

this is common place that app's, legit app's have access to things they should have, most of it is because the prorgam has to pause and be put in the background if a call comes in.

other times its scarey... look at handcent SMS app. wicket app, i love it, but that thing says it has access to anything you type.... complete and utter b.s. i say..

but i digress, my point was that apps have access to alot of things that are legit apps.

now.. we have no signature verification.. anything can be downloaded that is unsigned,, and run
[EVO 4G Android Development] rjmjr69:
Freeza dont try roms at all just keep ##786# and wiping letting it reactivate it will pull evenually
[EVO 4G Android Development] autoprime:
anyway to sniff out what url the phone connects to when downloading the pri.. could we spoof the evo and download the pri file from sprint?

my meid is edited so i cant do any ota updates :(
[EVO 4G Android Development] woofermazing:
Except he didn't do anything! Now a bunch of people are stuck with unrevoked forever for the time being.
[EVO 4G Android Development] rjmjr69:
Do not give up i had to try 15+ times with one phone before it finally took and it took after I did a nandroid restore of my original rom
[EVO 4G Android Development] P_Dub_S:
Confirmed working now just kept wiping via ##786# reset on the 3rd time my PRI updated. Oh and This was using Fresh's latest rom.
[EVO 4G Android Development] Adanedhels:
Nice :)

And I also have to say it's confirmed. I will say you might want to do a complete wipe BEFORE you start the process, until I did a wipe the master reset wouldn't send me to recovery, which makes the fix impossible!!! The phone must boot you from reset to recovery!!! If not pull the battery as rjmjr69 told me to do, then hold down POWER and VOLUME DOWN to go into recovery. Do a complete wipe here, phone will reboot, reset again, and it should now take you too recovery where you wipe the top three items, (data, cache, dalvik) two times each and reboot the phone. As stated before rinse and repeat if this doesn't take after it fully activates and updates!!!!

This is no joke it works and you dont need to do a Unrevoked fix or anything :)

Thanks all and congrats to Goonzy, I think however unintentionally and convolutedly he figured out how to do this initially. So he deserves some respect.

Ok peace out I'm back to watching Veronica Mars with the wife....
[EVO 4G Android Development] emulatorx:
lucky you ..im on my 4th try..im giving up after this till theres a truly confirmed working for EVERYBODY fix
[EVO 4G Android Development] PlankLongBeard:
Yeah that's not going with me yet.. I think I need to do multiple times as well. What's the thing about do the msl then just reboot after wiping?

READ Directions please....
[EVO 4G Android Development] cosine83:
Well, what's wrong with unrevoked forever? It allows running unsigned code in the bootloader. sure, it's a double-edged knife as far as security but that effectively makes rooting and maintaining root simpler in the long run. With unrevoked forever, flashing in the ENG hboot is sublimely simple and also makes unlocking NAND as simple.
[EVO 4G Android Development] adenosine3p:
I just did the factory reset with the ## thing twice and now I have the 1.40 PRL too. It seems to work, just not 100% of the time.

After i do the ##786# reset and boot into recovery i have wiped everything multiple times and when i reboot the phone it get a boot loop. Im running evio 1.02. Tried multiple times and always get boot loop.

[EVO 4G Android Development] warhell200:
How you find out the msl number anyway?
[EVO 4G Android Development] pongoface:
I believe that is because he moved the dalvik cache to the cache on his rom
[EVO 4G Android Development] Goonzy:
call Sprint. just ask
[EVO 4G Android Development] Doward:
Correct. Although the 1st time I did it, I was running netarchy's 4.0.2 kernel - I flashed back to HTC's stock 2.2 kernel (running 2.2 rooted stocker here) - and did the ##768# reset MSL.

Came up 1.40_003!

No, this does the exact same thing. The rest of the OP's post was just 'fluff' that didn't need to be done.

ok, on try 4 now, still no go. hopefully it will work soon!!!

So this may be stupid...but from what I understand for the people that have the ENG HBOOT, we don't have the file to flash for PRI update. Is there any way to rip this file or any useful info out of OP and confirmed others Nandroid backups? To me probably not, but thought I'd ask...
[EVO 4G Android Development] jdawg0024:

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

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:

You don't get any kind of special message, just have to check your software versions after you try.

Then just follow the steps you outlined?

Sounds too easy... lol
[EVO 4G Android Development] DataDork:
well.. then why doesnt unrevoked come in and collect ... all they need to do is post up a zip file with all the stuff we need in this thread an bam.. money is theirs..

I'm downloading it now..
[EVO 4G Android Development] superevilllama:
the attached file in megaupload says 2.2 update with eng boot and amon ra. If we are already rooted, technically can't we just flash this then to restore the PRI? (if it actually contains the 1.40 version) The rest seems unecessary.
[EVO 4G Android Development] Goonzy:
About that bounty I say -- If you follow these directions you will win. then when u can confirm this works then please post me as a vote me for the bounty.. :cool: BTY Ill be setting up a donate link ..for hot pockets!!!!:p

The way I understand it, sprint does the activation on their servers, not your phone.

downloading now and will test
[EVO 4G Android Development] dcmtnbkr:
unrevoked doesnt accept bounties anyway
[EVO 4G Android Development] superevilllama:
While as magical as this seems if it works, it does not solve this issue for everyone. Not everyone wants unrevoked forever, which is why many are waiting for just being able to apply an update.zip package with the newer version of PRI. This would be something that would have actually have to be developed, not just discovered. Not that I am not grateful for your find but its not the full solution.

sigh.. anything with money involved just gets messy and everyone upset.
[EVO 4G Android Development] timtlm:
That PC36IMG.zip file would be the first I've seen since the two we used for the original full root methods. Which would make sense why it would have the PRI in it. All the 2.2 updates came in update.zip format that was to be flashed on top of a current 2.1 rom or an official RUU. So, that is the key piece of the puzzle.
[EVO 4G Android Development] cosine83:
