Weird I can't get it to work on my second phone third try even downgraded to 1.47 first thought a lower prl would help

must be that hex edit huh? lol

All of those wipes were pointless. You skipped steps 5-7...
[EVO 4G Android Development] Virus:
i went to conflipper.com/shipped and flashed the 1.47 rom from that first
[EVO 4G Android Development] pongoface:
Hey rjmjr69,

Hook us up with some data then. Lets get some comparisons between 1.34 and 1.40. If they are dead even then I am not buying it. Especially with the op's statement that it just increased ping.
[EVO 4G Android Development] Goonzy:
this is what iam talking about.....face palm:eek:
[EVO 4G Android Development] jtc442:
Apologies in advance, I started reading at page 12, and by the time I got caught up, here I am at page 25. So with me being fully rooted, what is the chance of losing root here? Also, after doing this and using unrevoked forever, can I flash any Tom, theme, splash, kernal, or whatever I want? Also, if I decide to not use unrevoked, how can I go back to full root?
[EVO 4G Android Development] Tilde88:
no i didnt... i flashed all that **** the first time... and if you dont flash anything over it... guess what its still there... however i am doing it a third time... this time running still from the pc36 rom and flashing the pc36 again...

@goonzy... in what order did you wipe caches?

just waited for the factory wipe then did cache cache dalvik dalvik?
[EVO 4G Android Development] DomSim:
moving to better reception helped. it wasnt able to do it automatically still but i could click the "manual" button which took me to a sprint zone page which said my phone was not activated on the network and to click to activate. clicked, took about 3 minutes while it said updating or something then rebooted. check software info and i sure as **** have 1.40 :)

edit: also dropped my prol to 60662 for some reason. i had 60669 before
[EVO 4G Android Development] Sawawa:
Oh, so you're not flashing the modified zip that the OP uploaded? (Good for you, by the way. I wouldn't trust the posted zip either.)

I think that the mystery as to why it isn't working for you has been solved!
[EVO 4G Android Development] Tilde88:
if you have unre forever then you can even download OTA updates and not lose root i think
[EVO 4G Android Development] Tilde88:
stupid 10character limit
[EVO 4G Android Development] rjmjr69:
I think so too. I think what happens is that if you have a LOWER prl and activate then it will update the Pri???? I'm trying to test this theory now

Does using unrevoked3 then unrevokedforever keep the 1.40?
[EVO 4G Android Development] rutter9:
Lol I just did it as a joke since people are all so worked up about this. Personally I could care less until a more direct approach is released. But in all honesty I think people would be more receptive to you if you stopped telling them they all just got jizzed on, and to wipe their butt twice :rolleyes:
[EVO 4G Android Development] woofermazing:
OP what exactly is different about your PC36img.zip? All it looks likes to me is toasts zip with froyo system images and RA-amon.

Let's all Vote OP for INTERNET IDIOT, he is dumber then the CLASS IDIOT

I think the Admins should just DELETE this Thread, cause it is total BS!!!!

This guy doesn't know his head from his azz. I just tried it word for word what he stated, still 1.34 no damn 1.40. The ONLY way I could even think it was possible was while it did the handsfree activation, and that didn't do it, this guy is acting like he has the SECRETIMG file to fix everyone's problem, and if you ask me the only thing he has done is copy some other img file and MAYBE deleted the radio info out of the file.

This OP gets the DEE DA DEE award, for thinking he is the PRO Hacker, but all he is, is just some IDIOT who want to try look important and see if he could sucker the people's BOUNTY so he can get drunk off people that were dumb enough to believe he did the fix.
[EVO 4G Android Development] deathpod:
You still lose root when you flash an OTA. What unrevoked forever gives you is the power to get it back after you've flashed one. If you read their release page here you'll see they even say to flash an official recovery before flashing an OTA, and then flash a custom recovery again afterward.

This is why if you're already on the OTA 2.2 unrooted, unrevoked forever is still useless to you at this point. You've got not way to get S-OFF in the first place.
[EVO 4G Android Development] Tilde88:

[EVO 4G Android Development] autoprime:
so for those of us with n meid repaired evo.. the OTA pri method wont work?

shucks..
[EVO 4G Android Development] dwertz:
I can confirm this also. I do have 1.40_003. If it is just visual or not, that I can not confirm.
[EVO 4G Android Development] rjmjr69:
What was your previous rom? were you 1.47 or already froyo?

Do you happen to know what version prl you had?

Just need to figure out what triggers the update
[EVO 4G Android Development] Virus:
it is confirmed it worked for me :)
[EVO 4G Android Development] dee-vious_dee:
If it has been CONFIRMED by a couple people WHY didn't it work for me, I did EVERYTHING word for word what this guy said and it did NOTHING but make me use my phone for over an hour backing up flashing activation and restoring.

And if it did work, why hasn't ANY of these confirmed people TRY to extract the PRI file and post that. I mean we got people like Unrevoked and other brainiacks that STILL ain't got the file out yet.
[EVO 4G Android Development] dwertz:
I had NAND Unlocked, Stock Rooted 2.2. My PRI was 1.34_003.

Steps.

Nandroid Back up current rom Rooted Stock 2.2 PRI 1.34_003

Flash unrevoked-forever.zip

booted phone and did ##786# wipe device

booted into recovery and did wipe cache and dalvik

selected wipe cache and dalvik again

rebooted checked bootloader for s-off

booted into recovery letting it auto flash PC36IMG.zip(large file) (NOT by selecting flash update on sdcard) and selecting yes flash

moved PC36IMG.zip (small file for Amon RA) to sdcard root

booted into recovery letting it run the Amon RA PC36IMG.zip

booted and it updated system/prl/checked for firmware

booted into recovery and restored nandroid backup

It is something like that. I could be missing something
[EVO 4G Android Development] rjmjr69:
Before anyone else attempts this if you read this post please write down what your current os is 1.47 or 2.2 what your prl is and what steps you take to get an update if any thank you
[EVO 4G Android Development] Goonzy:
Wipe with ##786# on dialer and press menu to wipe then enter your msl code and will reboot you into recovery then Cache, Dalvik ,Factory then into hboot to flash PC36.IMG . WIll Activate you then update you. check pri 1.40.
[EVO 4G Android Development] rjmjr69:

[EVO 4G Android Development] adenosine3p:
When it worked the second time, did you use the file the OP posted or did you flash a ROM that you downloaded from a third party that you know didn't just have a visual hex edit to 1.40?
[EVO 4G Android Development] Goonzy:
Edit: first post and if all fails call me pm
[EVO 4G Android Development] sgt. slaughter:
Because SteelH is the **** and knows what they are talking about. you dont need anything else more than that.

We all know that if this were true then at least one of the other big dev's would of chimmed in saying so by now. To my knowledge non of them have, except for SteelH saying it isn't confirmed
[EVO 4G Android Development] Tilde88:
oh so do cache then dalvik then factory once more (which does cache+data) ?
[EVO 4G Android Development] Goonzy:
you must wipe twice in any order and wipe factory twice. everything you can twice..

[EVO 4G Android Development] rjmjr69:
Are you kidding me? CAUSE HE SAID SO? What planet are you on? You go by someones word who has no PROOF otherwise against 15 people who HAVE proof positive? I respect his status as a dev too but wow thats some serious ass kissing there bro
[EVO 4G Android Development] Goonzy:
thats funny because I have the ADMIN pm'ing me. Saying it worked for him/her.
[EVO 4G Android Development] emulatorx:
taking the risk as we speak.. I was Simple Root Method Rooted with Nand unlocked..then i flashed the unrevoked forever zip in Amon ..placed all teh necesaary pc36 files in teh right places .. ##786# then wiped TWICE in recovery ( everything)..in hboot now flashing the OP 2.2 pc36img..rebooting NOW.. brb
[EVO 4G Android Development] :
I can confirm something...a bit different but here goes. I previously rooted and decided to unroot and get the froyo ota update. Of cousre this left me with the PRI 1.34 with no apparent way to upgrade it. I just re-ran the ##786# and reset and it updated me to PRI 1.40. I am completely updated stock software on a previously rooted phone. So this may or may not be a consequence of how he upgraded...but a master reset does as of now.
[EVO 4G Android Development] Doward:
Ok, so I figured I'd run this and try to grab that OTA PRI everyone's talking about, so we can just incorporate the PRI (if indeed this is true)

Called Sprint, got my MSL while running unRevoked3 linux version.

Now, 10 minutes later I'm sitting here looking at htc EVO 4G and according to unRevoked3 it is still 'flashing recovery image. Do not touch your phone!"

How long does this usually take? Usually a full ROM flash is well done by now....
[EVO 4G Android Development] cosine83:
Well, my phone is showing 1.40_003 after following his method. I restored back into Burnt Droid and retained the PRI.

Is there any way to confirm it's genuine or a hex edit?
[EVO 4G Android Development] Tilde88:
ok going again... heres what i changed in my scenario

put a different PRL so it would force download a prl hopefully updating the PRI... reflashing the pc36 also... and ima activate outside (better reception?)

guys clearly this isnt just visual... ive flashed EVERYTHING at least 3 times now... so if it were in a flash i would have it
[EVO 4G Android Development] emulatorx:
hnads free activation: contacting network... brb :)
[EVO 4G Android Development] rjmjr69:
I've redone it using various methods and files and can not get my second phone to play nice its got to be ota during activation just a matter or getting it at the right time I suppose lol
[EVO 4G Android Development] Goonzy:
TO tell you the truth people I just flash **** and like to wipe. theres no edit in anything.
[EVO 4G Android Development] Tilde88:
btw ive flashed all those times and still no 1.40... trying somethin new now
[EVO 4G Android Development] emulatorx:
:( pri = 1.34 i followed evertything.. i guess do it all again?
[EVO 4G Android Development] Tilde88:
lmao figures
[EVO 4G Android Development] Sawawa:
Who knows what the OP has screwed with in the file he posted? The fact that it doesn't work consistently doesn't at all disprove that this might be a hex edit.

Sometimes incompetence explains several different scenarios simultaneously.
[EVO 4G Android Development] mikev43:
I was 2.2 froyo, 1.34

I was already at ra recovery.. replaced it earlier in the day from clockwork..

FIRST thing i did was install the unrevoked 4ever file just like you would flash a kernal..

I then followed the instructions basically twice and it worked 100%.. I don't even know how to take a screenshot and waaaaaaaaaaaaay too fukken lazy to ever try to photoshop it and or hex it.. WTF..

also I don't have any affiliations with the OP and he was being a **** with the whole jizz on ur face and fag crap..

so why the **** would I bother to lie about it working.. it ****ing WORKS.. don't know if he hi-jacked this idea somewhere else but it's the FIRST I have seen that works and not even on IRC did the guys believe me there and now someone is doing it and if done right it will work... end of story and no need to revisit this thread..

zikronix has just replied to a thread you have subscribed to entitled - [BOUNTY - $445] Upgraded Released PRI Fix - in the EVO 4G Android Development forum of xda-developers.

STOP STOP STOP

I JUST DID DAMAGE CONTROL ##786# master reset once

cleared dalvik, system reset wipes, etc

Rebooted hands free activation, I GOT THE NEW PRI

was running the current PRL and 134 before that

rebooted still have my ra, and I still have eng hboot

and I still have root

no unrevoked....none of that ****
[EVO 4G Android Development] Goonzy:
correct... EVERYONE FIRST POST EDIT:cool::eek:
[EVO 4G Android Development] woofermazing:
I am in the process of doing this also.
[EVO 4G Android Development] rjmjr69:
That is my conclusion exactly! just sent the op a pm

Imagine something so simple as a ##786

Backup or nandroid before so you can get everything right back so easy
[EVO 4G Android Development] DomSim:
btw i posted earlier that my phone got stuck at the hands free activation and kept failing and once i got to an area with better signal it wen through, well i tried just doing ##786# before i tried the unrevocked forever method but i got stuck at the same place. i now know i could have progressed further if i had better signal. point is, any rom may be able to to the ##786# reset, double wipe and may get the update as well. its worth a shot.

edit: if no one else wants to risk it, i may re-root with simple root getting me back to 1.34 and try myself.
[EVO 4G Android Development] sgt. slaughter:
Just saying I'm holding off till I hear toastchf and the likes give a confirm of this. Not wasting my time flashing a PC36IMG file I have no clue whats been done to it, esp after doing unrevoked which allows you to flash non signed files and is something that can't be un-done. That and I wont be the first to try anything unrevoked after reading the brick stories from the past.

They do great work but I'm not riskin the brick on there stuff first release.
[EVO 4G Android Development] freeza:
We need a location check here

Maybe people in the same location or round about the same location are receiving this while others aren't.
[EVO 4G Android Development] superevilllama:
I am glad I did not jump on the band wagon on this one. Now I am not stuck with unrevoked forever. Not that is bad, just I personally did not want it at the moment. Perfect ending to this thread and everyone is happy.
[EVO 4G Android Development] cosine83:
Well, I live in the same market as the OP.
[EVO 4G Android Development] rjmjr69:
I hear ya and probably was wise considering the recent update. Just do a backup and clear using ##786 then wipe. Might take a few shots

Nothing done so far could cause a brick
[EVO 4G Android Development] TheMike1:
Any reason that we can't skip a bunch of these steps and just go ##3282#, Enter Edit Mode, Enter Data Profile, and restore it from there?

It seems that skips all these steps and just goes into the part where it updates your phone if that is indeed where the PRI update comes into play why wouldn't that work?
[EVO 4G Android Development] sgt. slaughter:
The odd thing is I could of sworn people tried doing ##786 before and it wouldn't re-get the PRI.
[EVO 4G Android Development] adenosine3p:
I did that just yesterday with a Sprint rep Tuesday because I had called them due to my upload speeds downtown dropping to ~10kbps. I still have the old PRI.

Of course, all the other methods don't seem to be working for everybody either...
[EVO 4G Android Development] rjmjr69:
Could have but maybe they did it just once? Seems like it a hit or miss cause I've redone it on one phone at least 8 times and still no go
[EVO 4G Android Development] kcodya:
I'm trying the ##786# method, but after the wipe, it dosen't boot me into recovery, just straight into the rom. Any ideas?

Let me back up I got ALL THREE PHONES TO WORK !!! so sorry steelH unless you can prove otherwise
[EVO 4G Android Development] P_Dub_S:
Didn't work for me since the PC35IMG.zip file he links has the ENG bootloader and RA recovery already in it. You cannot update your PRI with the ENG bootloader we need a PC36IMG.zip with the latest bootloader in order for our PRI to be updated.

I have tried this method. Just doing ##786#

I was Running Damage Control 3.5

PRL 60669

PRI 1.34

hit ##786# then menu then reset put in MSL phone rebooted into recovery I wiped everything. Then rebooted and the phone started the hands free activation and everything went fine however when i went into the settings I still had pri 1.34 Doing a Nand restore now to go back to normal... it was worth a try.
[EVO 4G Android Development] jdawg0024:
that method did not work for me... Tried while ROOTED via Toast and running DC 3.5 Final
[EVO 4G Android Development] rjmjr69:
DO NOT USE ANY FILES

New directions

1. BACK UP YOUR PHONE USING WHATEVER METHOD NANDOID ETC

2. Get your MSL code either thru Sprint or using CDMA

3. ##786# wipe your phone

4. Reboot phone

5. Repeat steps 3-4 if it does not work the first 15 times!!!

Good luck

This tested and proven on TWO phones in my possession and by a few others here already posted

you confirming this works? and if So I can nandroid back no problem?

It mentions I lose all data...it doesnt touch the MicroSD does it?
[EVO 4G Android Development] elas123:
maybe it has to do with was rom and kernel we are running why we are not getting the pri update without the unrevoked way.
[EVO 4G Android Development] YACO:
i don't get why people get worked up over Unrevoked Forever... sure it's not root... but it unlocks the security switch... why is this bad again? why shouldn't everyone turn the s-on switch on their phone?

I have 1.4 now by basically doing this, but it did take 5 tries to get it...
[EVO 4G Android Development] cosine83:
I went from PRI 1.34 to 1.40 following his method and I haven't been fully rooted for a long time. So, if I was rooted and you are too (assuming you used toast's method as well), then why did I get the updated PRI and you didn't whilst following the directions in the OP?
[EVO 4G Android Development] rjmjr69:
you lose all user date the phone will reactivate takes a few minutes might take an hour trying but it does work dont lose faith doing a backup insures you have all your data back easily. Using Rom Manager is an easy way as well
[EVO 4G Android Development] dagnasty:
Worked fine for me. I was running Burnt Droid 1.0 with PRI 1.34. Made a nandroid backup. Did ##786#. Hit menu, go to reset. Enter MSL. Confirm wipe.

Phone booted into Amon_ra recovery and automatically wiped data and cache. I went ahead and wiped data, cache, dalvek, ext, rotation and battery stats. Rebooted and got burnt droid animation. Phone went into handheld activation, completed it, updated the PRL and then attempted to find a firmware update, of which there was none. Skipped account setup and went right to software version and got PRI 1.40. Downloaded quick boot and it requested su and rebooted into recovery!. Just restored my nand backup and its working great
