Should I flash this first then flash the radios? or do the radios first?

Also, I keep seeing everyone say do a nandroid first. But the will just take you back the ROM you had before doing this update. What we should be doing is a Titanium Backup to restore all our apps and data , right?
[EVO 4G Android Development] stangdriverdoug:
Ok I am running this rom and honestly its a really smooth running rom. I can't get the sync icon to go away.

[EVO 4G Android Development] Valnomien:
does this OTA have the new hboot?

does this OTA have the new hboot?

and if so how is this already rooted and zipaligned?

is the hboot S-off already when I flash this or will that happen when we flash the radio wimax combo

In Google I typed, "what is Odex?" and this is the result...

[EVO 4G Android Development] semperlux:
So I said... "What's this? Oh... this is what stock looks like--LOL :rolleyes: ". I've been screwing around with ROMs so much that I forgot what a stock Evo looked like and my latest encantation was MIUI--it's backed up. I just wanted to see Swype, Blockbuster and what else changed. I used

RA-Evo

to flash this update. I notived others in this thread had problems with custom recoveries. There's nothing custom about this flash so no need to use CW and Amon, I mean--if you're having a problem with it. (CW-> alt recovery).

But I don't understand something. If everything is working great? Why does it seem like a lot of users in this thread are worried about flashing radios, wimax and a host of other things? Have you guys noticed a problem that is requiring those updates? Or is it just... I don't know?
[EVO 4G Android Development] #Winning#:
Hboot can only really safely be changed through Bootloader, so no.
[EVO 4G Android Development] EliWay:
I don't think there's a scanning widget. I think Sprint was referring to the notification icon that appears when the Radio is ON but WiMAX is disconnected. You can't just clear it from the notifications area, so it's kind of a widget if you think about it.

You can do it. I just did by using clockwork recovery to do a backup in nandroid. Then I installed this update and then I restored(advanced restore) just the data portion of the backup. I don't know if it is kosher, but it seems to work ok. I had to go back to clockwork from amon ra since i couldn't see the advanced restore in amon, but it could be there.
[EVO 4G Android Development] GadgetMonger:
I was expecting a call that didn't come so I called to see what was up. Was told when they tried my number it went directly to voice mail. I checked the contact because I've had it happen before after an update that "directly to voice mail" got checked on certain contacts. What I found was in groups there is an option checked that starts... Your phone is low on memory and it may not receive notifications or calls. It said more but I'm not going to copy it all, anyway this option was checked in all my HTC favorites. I've never even seen those options in groups before? :confused: weird...
[EVO 4G Android Development] phelixian:
If you do advanced restore of just your data I think it's better and faster than Titanium backup.

Can you flash modifications (themes etc..) on the Deodexed version? I am using the Deodexed version and everytime I flash a .zip mod my phone does not move past the boot menu. I end up having to do a recovery to be functional again. Any suggestions?

Can this update be applied over an existing stock rooted HTC rom?

I just tried applying it over my 3.30 rooted rom and it reset my apps/settings/etc. I reverted to my nandroid backup I made before I did it, so it wasn't an issue, but it would be nice to not have to set my phone again.

I was running the new kernel and radio/wimax combo on myn's rls 2 build just fine. There seems to be compatibility issues between some kernels and the radio/wimax but for me I flashed the new kernel then the radio combo and it worked fine.

[EVO 4G Android Development] Roy Jovero:
If you pay for the Sprint hotspot, then you won't lose your tether. If you're talking about the Wireless Tether app you can download, you'll have to reinstall it.

[EVO 4G Android Development] mjhuffer:
I would not flash anything until the dev specifically states its for this update 3.70 because the frameworks are different from 3.30. Just give it about a week and all the devs will be able to get up to date. I've already put in a bunch of requests to dev's to get things updated. I'm guessing after this weekend everything will be up and running with the new update.

[EVO 4G Android Development] nYdGeo:
I've read in another post that if you flash the latest Radio/Wimax, etc, you must be running a kernel (or ROM with a kernel). I'm assuming that there is some extra support built into that kernel. Following this, I'd assume that the latest CM 6.1 or now 6.1.1 has the support needed.

This is all just educated guestimation, but I hope that it helps.

Thank you for your time.

Battery life?

I've been running this Rom since yesterday. Backed up with Titanium, Flashed the odexed and the radios, restored my apps via Titainium. Everything is running fine, but I am seeing much worse battery life with this Rom. I went through and made sure all of the syncs that I don't use were turned all and all the battery stuff from when we first got the Evos and am hoping that it will improve, but was wondering if anyone else is seeing worst battery life on this Rom.

Thanks,

Devon

I guarantee it's been said many times in this thread -- most likely in the first 2 pages. Go back and read.

I flashed the latest 3.70.65.1 ROM standalone radio update (from the OP, courtesy of Virus), but it did not change my radio version from 3.30.651.2. Is this to be expected?
[EVO 4G Android Development] semperlux:
Oh absolutely! But reality is 90% expectation and I expected my battery life and overall phone's performance to decrease with (stock) SenseUI--it's just the nature of the beast. I get at least 18 - 20 hours of average use using Myn's ROM, CM6 and even MIUI! But put Sense back on and I'm back to 8 - 12 hours.

You shouldn't have disable all your syncs and everything else that makes it a media/smartphone (you shouldn't have to root and altROM either but..) --what's the point? My phone would be no different than my mother's little dinged up, worn out, rickety clamshell -- she can still play games, SMS, MMS, see pix of her grandkids and it lasts two days on a single charge--LOL!

I just flashed this ROM to see what changed. Now umimpressed, (never liked Swype keyboards anyway) I'm RUNNING back CM6 (or 2.2)! But I'm always scanning the dev threads to see if anyone else implemented this update to something other than the stock ROM. Please understand that I'm not whining or complaining about the Evo/Android's performance. This phone doing a hell of alot of work on a chincy 1500mAH battery and Android still so new and that's what makes this whole process so amazing. Good luck with your efforts.

Little known solution

If you happen to be using ClockWordkMod Recovery, you can simply do a NANDROID backup, flash your new ROM, let it boot, and then immediately power down the device upon initial boot-up. Once your back in recovery mode go into NANDROID, select ADVANCED RESTORE, choose your most recent back-up, you will have a couple of different restore options but you want to select RESTORE DATA. Flash, reboot, and WOILA! All of your previous data from your latest backup will be applied towards your new rom. Text messages, call history, apps, widgets, settings, EVERYTHING. Heck, even the wallpaper you had before you WIPED will be back again. This is the easiest, simplest, way I have found to restore the phone back to the way you had it instead of having to take half a day to restore apps, set up your home screens, etc... Hope this helps, you would be surprised how many people don't know about this feature of ClockWordMod but it really is amazing. For all of the trash people talk about CMR, Amon RA doesn't have this option and I have never had a problem with ClockWork after countless flashes, cache clearing, wiping etc.... Anyways, just thought I would try to share something with the community.. PEACE OUT SUCKAS
