[EVO 4G Android Development] NSIDIUS:
Just flashed these on my current config below. 4G Works, doesn't search, battery trickled down to 95% pretty quickly, but it usually does that. Will post if I notice anything significant.

Thanks for providing these! Trying to decide which ROM I'm going to next, Fresh's 3.3 or 3.2 until things get settled, so figured I might as well update this.
[EVO 4G Android Development] mpike78:
ok im getting very frustrated... running fresh 3.3.0.1.. tried flipz radio update. my baseband updated fine to 2.15.00.09.01 but my pri stays on 1.34_003. tried the pc36img.zip and it will popup verifying very quickly then go back to the hboot screen. then tried the evo_pri_1.77_003.zip and tried flashing it through clockwork recovery. every screen pops up quickly and then says its updating. it says to reboot to complete. ill get the android arrow out of the box which pops up and goes away quickly. never got an error. rebooted and still at 1.34_003... did the fresh update to 3.3.0.1 and did the radio update on my wifes and everything worked fine. only different she has the amon-ra recovery. any help would be appreciated... im also not again going back to ruu and starting all over from scratch. if you have a walk through of going back and starting over please post it and ill try that. ive never had these kind of issues before.
[EVO 4G Android Development] Rene2.5RS:
Have you tried using Amon-RA on your phone yet?
[EVO 4G Android Development] mpike78:
yeah I've tried that also both on 1.7.2 and 1.8.0 and the tiny-recovery.. thru adb and fastboot and everytime I get either block error or INFOwrite failure. The block error is through adb and the info in through fastboot.
[EVO 4G Android Development] BmoreBadBoy:
You guys are simply amazing. I'm all updated up. Thanks!

Grr. I was using fresh 3.3.0.1 pass few days 4g was working find. I just flashed the new radio and PRI update from geekfor.me and it won't connect to 4g :( help anyone?
[EVO 4G Android Development] NSIDIUS:
Definitely did something weird with battery. Battery life has been erratic. Don't really want to go back to 1.34, I was on 1.4... Boo...

Guess I'll figure something out. :cool:
[EVO 4G Android Development] tnt2sniper:
Is anyone having issues with Wifi after this? I'm running the latest Fresh ROM and my wifi worked fine, i updated the radio and the pri (pcimg36) and wifi is working, but when I turn it off, it locks up and doesn't turn off.. Then when I hit the power button the phone wont turn back on??? Any fix?
[EVO 4G Android Development] SouL Shadow:
Guess I'll add my 2 cents..

First, flashing:

Upgraded all 4 in one shot over a week ago using clockwork with no problems at all. Dunno if it mattered, but there's a toggle option in one if the clockwork menus to turn script asserts on/off. I always flash radio's with that set to on.

Now, performance:

After the very first radio update I noticed a big drop in signal. The 2nd radio helped, but this set of updates really did the trick. Getting much better signal then ever. I don't have 4g in the area.

As for WiFi, when I first moved to 2.2 I noticed better WiFi signal but a MUCH higher battery drain while WiFi was on. I could barely get 20 hours with WiFi on and little usage. With WiFi off I was getting about 36 hours with moderate usage. Not sure why, but my WiFi/ battery issue seems better after this update. Not sure why this would be, WiFi should be 100% kernel related.

Otherwise, I've seen no big changes.

All usage since rooting in mid June has been with latest versions of DamageControl Rom's and stock (htc) kernels.

[EVO 4G Android Development] xtshadowxt:
Hello everyone I have some questions I want answered. I checked my software versions and turns our that my radio and prI are out of date. So here goes.

1. Will there be problems installing these zips on myns 2. 2 running kings cfs #11?

2. How can I install these updates?

3. How will updating the radio and pri be better than my obsolete software? Like what is the purpose?

Sorry for the noobish questions, thanks in advance :-)
[EVO 4G Android Development] yazman666:
Radio will supposedly increase ur call quality and battery performance and pri will optimize the data speed between ur phone and the network....those are critical updates from my point of view ..i sucssefully installed the radio but for some reason cannot install the PRI .im rooted with unrevoked 3.21..any help pls..
[EVO 4G Android Development] xtshadowxt:
So how can I go about flashing these updates? nd will there be a problend if I'm running myns 2.2 with kings #11 ?
[EVO 4G Android Development] SouL Shadow:
First, make sure when you reboot into the bootloader that you are in hboot and not fastboot. It will say which one just above the options. If it says fastboot just select the option that says bootloader.

It should then scan the card for a bunch of files.

If it scans but doesn't find the pc36img.zip, then double check that the file is named correctly. All lower case works. And make sure the extension is correct. (if you used windows it might have hidden the actual extension).

If all this still doesn't help then reply here with your hboot version.

Anyone willing to help?
[EVO 4G Android Development] xlGmanlx:
Flash from recovery like anything else. No need to wipe anything, some radios might work better than others for you, so start with the newest. They have nothing to do with rom or kernel
[EVO 4G Android Development] Product F(RED):
I need some help guys. The PRI flashed fine, so I tried to flash the radio (through recovery, AmonRA 1.8) right after. It gave me some errors, so I rebooted after it said it aborted and it went back to recovery and it's not booting into Android. I tried flashing the radio again and it was successful, but it still won't boot into Android. Any help?

EDIT: Nevermind. I had to turn the phone off fully, then back on to fix it.
[EVO 4G Android Development] coreylenn:
im stuck.....i did both updates and im still at PRI-1.34 and base band 1.39.00.04.26 can someone tell me why it never updats when i install them?
[EVO 4G Android Development] GadgetMonger:
Its this attitude that got so many people losing root by running out and installing ota updates without investigating a little first....
[EVO 4G Android Development] xlGmanlx:
are you folks flashing calks? if so what recovery? some where i read this is radio push
[EVO 4G Android Development] dkelle4:
No problems on my end! (Then again I can't actually check it because I'm on CM6)
[EVO 4G Android Development] cowfodder:
ra-recovery. DL speed is back up to what it was pre-1.4 update.
[EVO 4G Android Development] zikronix:
it matters because...this same team...screwed up a whole bunch of peoples 4g. Because of flashes and radio updates just like this one.

It also matters because the leaked ruu, supposedily has 1.71_003 in it (allthough flashing it did not update it)

Again it matters becuase there are phones in the wild shipping from sprint with 1.71_003

so you tell me....if sprint is shipping phones with 1.71_003 then where did this 1.77 come from?

The only true official pri's that we know came from sprint were the 1.34 (eng builds) and 1.40 which was pushed to some via OTA.

I agree with cauklin that when I pulled his "hex edited" one from my copy that i have here locally and did a hex compare...they are different. Then I re downloaded his from the server and compared and they are different.

That does not however mean this is on the level or safe. Like I said I am impressed with unrevokeds s-off thats a pretty neat trick.
[EVO 4G Android Development] d_willia:
Thanks to unrEVOked for the PRI, joeykrim for this post with instructions and to Calkulin for the recovery flash version. I have wasted many of these past couple days (and nearly one EVO) trying to update my PRI. You guys rock!

[EVO 4G Android Development] edufur:
Probably should have made this clear in the beginning. A lot of people are thinking they are getting an actual change with this. But just as I suspected, you are merely providing a visual change (hex edit). So there really is no functional difference here. :(
[EVO 4G Android Development] gtkansan:
The last version didnt change anything, this one does according to the OP.
[EVO 4G Android Development] litlepyro:
You should actually read the thread before you post blindly. THIS IS NOT A HEX EDIT!
[EVO 4G Android Development] tomh1979:
My 4g still works fine.
[EVO 4G Android Development] edufur:
How can you be so sure of that. Have you examined the code? Where did it come from? When did we all of a sudden go from 1.71_003 to 1.77_003?

There is no evidence to support that this is anything real. And there is more probability to support it is a hex edit since many have done exactly that to "resolve" what they see.

I can clearly say that when I put my 4G on it started w 2 bars. Now im at work I work in a warehouse and before this pri update I was in range from 0-1 n it disconnects.. Plus the speedtests tell me a difference. So this pri update does give it the boost for data. Im running sense virus w king kernel 7bfs ocd 1.113 :)

Ill let you know how it is when I get home.

[EVO 4G Android Development] jelive:
Agree w/litlepyro...Calk did a 1.34 to 1.40 hex at one time...he nor the OP said this PRI was a hex edit. C'mon folks if you don't trust it then don't flash it and let the dust settle. You've provided your "warnings" and those who are game will try it anyways.

This is not a hex edit.

Either flash it or don't, but stop being little whining pricks...

@oRAirwolf It isn't specifically just for data speed. A PRI update can also lead to a more stable connection in the long run.

Interesting, but possibly meaningless.. either way:

There is a android-info.txt file in the update.zip file attached a few posts back. Inside the file is the following line:

ModelID: PC3610000

CIDNUM: SPCS_001

MainVer: 1.47.651.1

HbootPreUpdate: 0

1.47.651.1 is the version of a previous EVO rom that was released WAY back. Is this possible just a PRI update that was tested with that rom, and never releaed? Maybe this is a case of higher version # doesn't necessarily mean newer or better, just different? Not a whole lot of info provided about this whole thing.

Big difference for me. On top of my roof (signal is bad, so inside I still get next to nothing inside) went from 0 lines on the 4g indicator to 2. Also, before it would download at about 0.5 mbps down and .1 up, while now I am getting about 2.5 mbps down with .75 up. 3g signal in the same spot stayed the same at about 1.25 mbps down.

Flashed using HBOOT on top of CM6 / Snap 7.6 CFS

I went from 1 bar (about 98-110dbm) to 2 bars (81-88dbm)

I'm using the built in CM6 dbm meter to read this. This is in my dead zone apartment which at times hits no signal depending on the location, with this PRI it seems to have a slightly better signal and I have yet to find a dead spot now. Probably some efficiency tweaks from HTC. I'm on PRL 60670 and located in the Midwest.
[EVO 4G Android Development] Wisiwyg:
I used ClockworkMod, copied to SD from my laptop. Rebooted to recovery, wiped cach/dalvic, flash Caulkin's zip of the file while still in recovery. (Of course, make a nandroid backup first!

Applied update, but didn't gain real noticeable 3G download speed increase. Went from ~10kbps before update to ~40kbps afterwards (at work). I -used- to get ~700kbps at the same location before this who PRI issue started in August.

Oh well... :(

EDIT:

Ok, so a co-worker who also has a rooted EVO, but running PRI 1.40 has real low data speeds. So does that mean this whole PRI update is not relevant? Could there be an issue just with Sprint in general?
