okay easiest way to download.. get "root explorer" DL it ...

then go to the first page on here DL the link,

then go to root ex. go to "sd card"

then go to "download" (under sd card)

find the file named "cdXXX" what ever its called

then rename it "PC36IMG.ZIP"

then long press it and "copy"

then go to the top of the page, you should still be in /sdcard/downloads, (it will say at the top off the page)

then click "parent folder" it just has "....." on it

then "paste" it in the /sdcard/ folder

it should just back you up the just the "sdcard" it should say /sdcard/ at the top.

then i turned my phone off and held down the volume down key and went into hboot, it should look for the file, find it then tell you to push up on volume, "yes" then reboot, everything should be fine.. thats how i did it with no computer

now that i have that i think im roaming? i dont understand how to fix this, is roaming the little icon that looks like a "target" (circle with a cross hair)???

my speeds with 1.34 were 1739 down and 197 up NOW WITH THE UPDATE 1.7 THEY ARE 920 DOWN AND 155 UP. it went down? why?

EDIT: SOME REASON MY SWYPE IS GONE ALSO? GOING TO TRY AND FIX

EDIT2: LOOKED LIKE THE FILES WERE STILL THERE FOR SWYPE BUT WOULDNT WORK, SO I DL THE NEW HULU AND DELETED OLD AND NOW WORKS FINE.
[EVO 4G Android Development] dwertz:
the circle that looks like a target is aGPS. You can shut if off by menu/location/use GPS satellites

Roaming is the triangle above the signal
[EVO 4G Android Development] evohack99:
lol thanks, you think with the knowledge i have i would know all the icons, but i dont, i wonder why it went down and why my swype is now gone, it doesnt even give me the option to turn it back on... and under language and keyboards swype isnt even there.

running fresh 3.2 with toast nand unlock. flashed calkulin's from RA. don't have 4G to test. however, for the first time ever, my 3G connection has been disconnecting after about 5 minutes. the icon disappears, and I have no internet connection. If I turn my wifi on and then off, it comes back on (have it set to turn on when wifi not available). will reboot, and test out for a few days.

my 3G speeds were slow before on 1.34 and 1.40, now they are noticeably slower . . .

anyone have a flashable downgrade for this just in case this problem is persistent?? :eek:

EDIT: after rebooting 3G seems back to its usual form. will stick with this for now, see where it takes me.

[EVO 4G Android Development] dcwiker05:
My 3G definitely seems much faster then it use to be, I have no previous speed tests to compare to though. There is 4G in the mall I want to try and get there tomorrow to see how that is because I know one area in the mall where I couldn't get 4G last time I was there so I want to see if this helps there. I did notice that the Market not downloading is an issue again, clear data and cashe fixed it though.

My 3G results:

Down: 929kbps

Up: 746kbps

Ping: 209ms

3G is noticably faster for me as well as YouTube loaded a HQ 7m 42s video (Gymkhana THREE, Part 2) in about 5 seconds and did not buffer at all the entire play back. Though my battery has gone from 42% to 18% startlingly fast... Gonna see how it holds up with a full charge (using the battery trick) tomorrow.

[EVO 4G Android Development] edufur:
I don't think nandroid covers the PRI.

I would suggest wiping caches though... I remember once when I flashed a ROM, my speeds went WAY down. I wiped caches and it cleared right up.
[EVO 4G Android Development] hecklbrg:
I can no longer access the 'my downloads' section of the market. It is giving me a server error. The rest of the market is accessable...this may be just a google problem?

I cleared the market cache, wiped the market data, wiped my cache/dalvik too.

Hope that it isn't botched. The only thing that could have done it would be flashing this file. Check to make sure yours is ok.
[EVO 4G Android Development] hx3:
I'm also having the same problem now, but I believe it was working fine earlier this evening after I flashed 1.77.

OK -- the Market is experiencing problems ATM. It has been reported by multiple users.
[EVO 4G Android Development] Smaulz:
Major bummer. Ridiculously slower 3G speeds, (4G not available in my area). I mean painfully slow, like 10-20kbit down, 80-100kbit up. Clearing caches doesn't help. Flashing other ROMs doesn't help. Step by step instructions for 1.40 don't work. So much for that.

Price ya pay to play I guess.

Same thing here.
[EVO 4G Android Development] hecklbrg:
I am getting a server error and I cannot make it connect by hitting retry...it just keeps giving the error...also notice that all my paid apps when i search them show as not being paid. This is obviously a problem on google's end.

I know the PRI isn't supposed to affect 4g, however, so many users are reporting differences, anyone have any theories?
[EVO 4G Android Development] stanglifemike:
You guys think this PRI might be something that Sprint was using to test the expansion of 4G as they are currently expanding the 4G coverage?
[EVO 4G Android Development] Smaulz:
Thanks dwertz, did that though. I've wiped/reset/flashed so many times my eyes are starting to cross a little. Just gonna have to ride this one out, I'm afraid.

i dont see why the PRI couldnt store info for the Wimax radio as well, and as towers come online the PRI tells the phone to look for them.

Is there any way to check the PRI version on CM6?
[EVO 4G Android Development] scooter185:
lets ask the original post:
[EVO 4G Android Development] Jason0071:
I would assume that the WiMax 4G radios in the Evo are capable of pulling packets from a network at greater speeds than really any of us have attained in the open market. I have read a few reports on lab tests that have produced very high levels of bandwidth throughput using WiMax technology and frequencies, as well as LTE which seems to be superior in supporting high speed data. Therefore, I agree...obviously software does not modify the actual physical capabilities of the radio, it is what is, rather software only helps it to perform better...so one could conclude that PRL and PRI files don't modify throughput capabilities, but rather tell the phone which nodes are preferred or have priority over others.

However, if new equipment is coming online and being upgraded all the time like it is in my market, I dare say... not being an expert on PRL and PRI file uses and formatting for that matter..could we assume that Sprint is updating the phones files actively as to be able to chose a closer node over another that may have previously had priority, but is now outdated or farther away than newer equipment. I really know absolutely nothing about PRL and PRI files, but it would seem that the use of a static file that functions as let's say a PRL file does, really would require a lot of updates if rolling out new equipment or network nodes and the like...and that newer updates would be preferable to older updates as really they are a binary database of network equipment and the priorities each one may have in relation to the where you are at with your phone.

After reading in the forums about the PRI reference to the old ISDN PRI (Primary Rate Interface) and laughing a bit really.. at the speculation(which in the end who am I to laugh:) I can definitely say it has nothing to do with PRI software we see on our phones. Unless, of course some how in communication with the towers our phones employ the use of an older protocol used to set up data connections that may be similar to an ISDN PRI line...but I highly doubt it:).
[EVO 4G Android Development] tech7:
that didnt work for me at all i had to go to stock rom 2.2 the downgrade to 2.1 and that still failed then root using 1 simple click root not the unrevoked the one u downgrade to 1.37 rom something like that and that work but long process but work for me now having a hard time getting 1.40 pri but i fix my issue so far hope it works for yall
[EVO 4G Android Development] EliWay:
J

You probably have WiFi on. 4G wont start if you have it on. Turn WiFi off and try again.

Also, this PRI thing is a joke. People need to understand theyre using a WIRELESS connection, not wired, and there are SO many factors that can make your connection slower or faster at any given time. PEOPLE, ITS NOT THE PRI!!!!!!!!! I mean I just read this guy claim his speeds were down 7% after the update! SEVEN FRICKIN PERCENT ROFL. Regular conditions be damned!

[EVO 4G Android Development] jorpe:
So here is mine after the update. I was on 1.34 before. Speed Tests are amazing and always indicative of real world performance. This was on 4g in Capitol Hill Denver.

The real test here is one that the 1.34 ended up being better than the stock shipped one... While I'm traveling for work down to new mexico, on 1.34 I got service everwhere, on the stock 1.4 shipped PRI I got service interruptions all over southern colorado and northern new mexico. I do it a couple times a week, so that should account for any normal variations in service.

Results:

bottom 6 - 1.34

top 6 - 1.77

Each result was recorded after turning off and then on the mobile data.

1.34 average - 2034 / 569

1.77 average - 2003 / 608

UPDATE:

The 3G data drops after 5-7 minutes on its own, even with active ftp transfers.

Could you please make a flashable 1.34 and 1.40 pris? I'd like to go back to those.

UPDATE2:

1.34 does this too.
[EVO 4G Android Development] Tiffany84:
Well I took the leap and while I haven't really seen an increase in speeds, I have noticed that every time Ive done a speed test before flashing this it always had my server being in Illinois but I live twenty minutes north of Cincinnati, now after flashing this it shows my server as Cincinnati.
[EVO 4G Android Development] Tiffany84:


Also I've noticed, while online things are loading much faster and I've never been able to stream YouTube in my house without it freezing every 5 seconds running pri 1.40 but now since flashing this YouTube streams without any buffering. Seems like a win to me.
[EVO 4G Android Development] TorxT3D:
flashed to the R01 wimax radio (because i never updated from the original)

flashed this pri update.

no difference to me.

of course ever since i rooted and started running custom roms/radios ive never gotten proper speeds from speedtest app. the internet based speedtest.net gives me proper 1Mbit+ results.

with xtremespeed test, speedtest, and fcc speedtest, i get nothing but 100kbps-600kbps down/~100-200 up. Horrendous. But when i test via speedtest.net website i get consistant 1MBit down/500-700up.

also, even with gps on speedtest app and website still think im located in texas, via my ip address.

anyone have an explanation for that??
[EVO 4G Android Development] ryan2202:
Worked for me on the first try, on Fresh3.2. However, my bars are worse with this PRL than 1.34. I used to have full bars in my apartment in NYC (uptown), but it never went to full all evening last night. But I did have 4G after flashing 1.77 and it was faster than my laptop on WIFI lol. But now this morning 4G wont connect from my office (downtown), but I have full bars....?

I havent read the whole thread yet, is there a way to get back to 1.34?
[EVO 4G Android Development] tsipa:
Im in downtown also (seaport area) and 4G connected just fine for me this morning.
[EVO 4G Android Development] ryan2202:
Im at 23rd St and live up at 94th.

Ive never been able to connect to 4G on my EVO until last night after flashing this PRI. I got the icon on the status bar and it showed 2 bars of signal, I was shocked to even see the icon lol. My browser was FLYING, I couldnt believe it.

But this morning at the office, I turn on 4G and Im not getting the status bar icon. My download speed still improves to around 1.9Mb (3G is around 1Mb) but no icon shows up on the status bar.

Last night I know it was WAY faster than 2Mb with 4G turned on, pages were loading literally in a second. I guess Ill have to test it again this evening when I get home.
[EVO 4G Android Development] stanglifemike:

Did some back to back testing between 1.34 and 1.77 from Southern Manhattan

Fresh 3.2, stock Fresh kernel.

Flashed the PRI, rebooted phone, and ran tests.

Obviously environmental and network usage factors will play a role in speeds. But these tests were back to back as close as I could make them while sitting in the same spot with my phone sitting on my desk.

It seems a bit slow initially but picks up the pace a bit after running a few tests. I seem to notice that when using the browser too.

From my office, 1.77 is NOTICIABLY faster in both 3G and 4G (even though no icon comes up in the status bar for 4G after I turn it on so I don’t think its actually connected to 4G at this location) and the speed tests confirm it.

I think Ill stick with 1.77 for now and run some more back to back testing from Northern Manhattan tonight (and hopefully get connected to 4G like I was last night).

1.34 3G (kbps) = 268, 415, 430, 667, 656, 352, 367, 672, 690, 635, 503, 826, 484, 870, 705 – AVG = 544.8

1.34 4G (no icon in status bar, though it says it’s turned on) (kbps) = 203, 181, 227, 171, 181, 194. Agonizingly slow. – AVG = UHHG

1.77 3G = 277, 582, 1180, 909, 1460, 1096, 1770, 2094, 1449, 1329, 1418, 1117, 1227, 939, 1914, 2020 – AVG = 1673.8

1.77 4G (again, no icon in status bar) = 575, 948, 763, 1096, 1613, 1563, 1180, 1266, 1146, 1036, 1370, 1028, 1096 – AVG = 1129.2
