Please help...my pri wont update

my pri wont update its still says 1.71_003
[EVO 4G Android Development] marclile:
nice... I've been getting only around 300 to 400 k download speeds since i got this phone on the day that it came out. after flashing this, I'm getting around 1.7 meg down. haven't noticed any increase in signal strength but definitely better speeds. running a stock rooted 3.7 rom.
[EVO 4G Android Development] pogiboy9:
So does this mean it wont show on my 'About Phone" Screen in my Fresh 3.5 Mod? Cause i've tried going from 1.4 to 1.77 it wont work, I updated to 3.5 no problem, but still shows 1.4 PRI :( please help ?
[EVO 4G Android Development] live4rock81:
Did you update your profile and PRL in system updates?
[EVO 4G Android Development] pogiboy9:
yup... I hit the "System updates" - PRL Update and Profile Update, still shows 1.40 :(
[EVO 4G Android Development] mrfordwrench:
Definitely sped up my internet access. I regularly use my phone to tether to my laptop and this really sped my 3g up. Where I normally got 30-70kbps I am now getting 180-260 kbps.. Havent tried it on 4g yet. But I will post any notices of speed increase.

btw I flashed the 3 piece package from here http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=715485

Could not get just the pri to flash. Kept getting a digest error.

heard alot of ppl are having problems with bad battery life and 1.90.

can anyone comment on that? its on the first post of Netarchys kernel thread.
[EVO 4G Android Development] socialderelict:
I flashed it for about 2 days and the battery life was terrible. After much searching I went back to 1.77 and was back to normal battery life. On the other hand I had just loaded a new rom at the same time so who knows....
[EVO 4G Android Development] SteelH:
Im using a 3.70 based rom, battery life is fine with 1.90. Not sure whats causing these problems for some but not others.
[EVO 4G Android Development] snovvman:
My battery life was actually ok with 100% wake. It was only when I went back to 1.77 PRI the phone would sleep. SteelH, is your phone sleeping normally with 1.90 PRI? What was the order in which you flashed the radio, PRI, and ROM?

Thanks.

[EVO 4G Android Development] ipractice:
Just flash the zip file like any other rom. It will work. You don't have to do anything else. The reason he said that he went to an HTC rom is because you cannot check the version of your PRI on CM roms so he went to an HTC rom to double check.
[EVO 4G Android Development] :
I'm new to this as well. I understand flashing signed PC36IMG.ZIP's in bootloader on non-rooted stock ROMs, but how do you flash this?

I decided to update, so i flashed the Radio combo followed by this.

Phone rebooted itself right before getting to home screen, after that it booted fine.

But whats interesting is using Xtremelabs speed test app, to test WIFI, my phone always freezes (have to battery pull), anyone else? Going to wipe cachnee and delvik and reflash this to see what happens :D

Update: Turning on 4G causes my phone to freeze, going to try see if profile update helps, then revert back to older pri

[EVO 4G Android Development] starkillers:
Also had the lagging after flashing this. It's not a tremendous lag however s very noticeable one. Flashed back to the 1.77 and all is well. Could this be because of the kernel? I am using netarchy or could this be because of the Rom and it only plays nice with the 3.7 Rom. I am using azrael.

Speed test showed actually decrease in 3G - 0.5Mb down 0.3Mb up, so reverted back to 1.77. Choppy screen is gone and 3G speed back to normal ~1Mb down 0.8Mb up. Maybe the new PRI is meant to go with the new software version? Can anyone running 3.70 with PRI 1.90 share their experience?

Not sure why everyone is having trouble. No issues here.

3g speeds before were in the 600kb/s range and now the around 1100kb/s and more stable.
[EVO 4G Android Development] Stroid01:
From what i understand the new radios work with ziggys kernel but are not as stable as using netarcy-toast kernel with the new radios. I flashed to net-toast kernel then flashed radios with no issue on myns rom. Last 10-15 pages of myns thread lots of discussion about which kernels are working with the new radio update.

My question to this thread is about the PRI version. I though the latest was 1.77.03 atleast according to caulkins thread. http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=715485
[EVO 4G Android Development] panamakid:

For those having freezes at the 'Evo 4g' screen -- Pull your battery. That worked fine for me, although it still sits for about 1-2 minutes before loading the ROM.

[EVO 4G Android Development] get-Apache:
thanks - worked great for me

I have the latest rooted ROM from yesterday so I flashed this PRI file and it installed without incident.

I did not notice any change on my 3G but the 4G went from 3.3 Mbps to 3.8 Mbps. My 3G is typically slow at the house though - high user density where I am so I am happy. No lag here, works fine.

See my signature for my phone set up details. I think others who do not have the 3.70 OTA build may be having problems whereas this PRI will work fine if you have the latest OTA.
[EVO 4G Android Development] juancaperez2000:
just flashed on CM6.1.1 no problems at all
[EVO 4G Android Development] digitalrurouni:
Read through this entire thread. Very fascinating discussion. It was interesting to see people's different experiences with just flashing one file! I am going to stay away from this right now. I definitely notice a bit more reception with the 4g since I flashed the combo but other than that can't tell if it got any faster or not.

Edit: Actually I just tried youtube and watched the arkam city hd vga trailer on the phone using 4g. NOT a single bit of lag. Previously it would be not so good of an experience. So I guess it did improve my connectivity a bit...the combo flash. I am leaning more towards trying the PRI flash now but because of the lags and so on, I feel its not worth it. Where did this PRI file originate from anyway? Was it part of the OTA? Maybe it would make sense like some other posters have alluded to the fact that we need a rom based on that OTA before we flash the radio for it to work optimally?
[EVO 4G Android Development] brock1909:
flashed fine, but when the phone goes to sleep ( screen turns off) it wont turn back on. guess i have to go back for now.
[EVO 4G Android Development] sultan.of.swing:
I still believe the issues everyone is having is related to the kernel they are using.

I suggest using netarchys universal 4.2.1 kernel. Using cfs bfq more havs smartass personally and it has worked with any and every update that has came out lately.
[EVO 4G Android Development] aph:
Still massive choppyness/100% CPU usage here. Left it a few hours, killed all user apps, and it was 100% all the way through and drained my battery in 4 hours.

Was on Net's 4.21 cfs more kernel, flashed to HTC latest (2.6.32.17-gee557fd) same issue.

Also tried downgrading WiMAX radio just in case it was the new one I flashed yesterday conflicting with this new PRI. Same deal.

It's about 50/50 System/User even when there are no user apps running. The biggest system process according to SystemPanel is android.process.acore taking up most of the cycles.

Maybe it's my ROM, I'm running Fresh 3.4.0.1. I don't know. For now I'm going back to 1.77_03, since I need my phone more than 4 hours at a time. :p
[EVO 4G Android Development] digitalrurouni:
Still not seeing a pattern as to why some people are able to get their phones to work better with the PRI flash and others are not. Could it be that the ones who report that it is working perfectly are not aware their CPU is getting pegged?

People for whom it's working, can you post your config?

Here's mine (again, I'm having massive issues):

[EVO 4G Android Development] aph:
That, or possibly this new PRI is designed to only work with the new radio. I'm still on 3.30.651.2. Would love to hear what radios the people without lag are using.

Some people didn't "notice" the 30fps cap, so I guess it's possible these are the same ones not noticing their phone lagged to hell on this PRI. :p

The massive CPU usage is pretty clear in SystemPanel.
[EVO 4G Android Development] digitalrurouni:
Could someone teach an utter noob (me) how to get the WIMAX version? I can report on the baseband but not sure about the rest :(
[EVO 4G Android Development] Compusmurf:
No issues on mine. I'm on SteelH's 3.70.x.x release with the new radios using the stock kernel that came with 3.70.x.x. FPS and Quadrant scores the same as before, no odd system processes running away. No lag, no unusual battery drain. And according to speed tests before and after, no increase in 3G or 4G speed either.

Honestly other than changing the number in the about screen, it doesn't look like anything REAL happened.

[EVO 4G Android Development] egzthunder1:
I just flashed this on my EVO, and I am not sure if I was doing this wrong before (not really sure who I could mess this up), but my d/l speeds on 3g just went through the roof

d/l = 1410 kbps (before it was closer to 500 kbps :eek:)

On a separate note, checking under SystemPanel Lite... my CPU is at 100% at all times :eek:
