Root 2.3 OTA Update w/ Rooted EVO vs an Unrooted Evo

After ROM finished flashing it is telling me "Don't forget to wipe your Dalvik" Did anyone else do this before or after the first reboot?
 
Oh well...think I am just going to reboot for the first time. Will I need to do any wipes before installing the radio?

At a minimum, I would wipe Dalvik twice. It might be overkill, but I usually wipe cache also.
 
OK..FLASHED THE RADIOS

(only the radio pri ect that virus posted up this morning)

Still early in testing but it appears that signal strength is better, 3g and 4g are testing much faster in spots around town that were previously super slow.


will continue tests tomorrow but areas that were .3 mbps or slower are now coming in at 1.5 up AND down

I haven't tried the rom yet..but the radios seem to be an improvement so far for sure

Do you have a link for that radio? I am getting ready to do that next.

So far Gingerbread seems to be A LOT faster!

do you think this new radio will be compatible with cm7 or other roms?

here you go Multiupload.com - upload your files to multiple file hosting sites!.
really i have not seen any difference. my cm7 was so much faster. i guess for stock it is pretty smooth.

I guess for me since I haven't tried anything other than rooted stock ROMs I am noticing a difference. As far as looks a few things seem different...like in the "manage apps" when you click the different tabs there is some sort of shade of grey at the bottom in the memory space section.

That is the poster child of the hard way to do things. You'll be flushing your root straight down the toilet, and there is currently no exploit to get it back.

Flashing a ROM sounds intimidating, I know, but once you've done it, it's not that big of a deal. It's really not hard. Just take your time, read the guide all the way through, print it out, and follow the steps one by one. It's easier than rooting. If you successfully rooted your phone, you can flash a ROM.

i'll try it. i just didn't see a definite answer about the radios working on that odex
 
Damn...I don't know what is going on, trying to restart in hBoot and it's not working. The phone just boots up and the screen is dim. Any ideas?
 
yeah go into settings/display/brightness and click off automatic brightness. you can then select how bright you want your screen to be.

But my main problem is I can't get the phone to start in hBoot.


***EDIT***

It worked after a battery pull...that was weird.
 
yeah that is the weird thing with this update. i have seen some of the leaked ginger sense roms had a power setting where you can select for it not to do a fast boot. but this one there is not. you have to pull the battery out. weird.

So now I am back up and running without the dim this time also...but I can't get hBoot to find the radio...I think I am just going to rename it to the short version.
 
This is getting annoying...I have to do a battery pull every time I want to start in hBoot.
 
as far as i can see yep. and it is not only hboot but also to get to recovery. annoying indeed. might have to go back to cm7 and wait for the awesome devs to cookup some mean OTA roms!!!!

At least I am updating the radios as we speak after doing another battery pull.
 
Anyone know if they took away the profile widget to manage your sound settings ie: normal, silent or vibrate?

Also looks like all the Sprint bloatware is back...including Nova, time to do some freezing and deleting!
 
Those of you that can't get to recovery and fastboot trytthe quickboot app. As.for will this radio work.........yes..on any rom. I typically try multiple radios on any given rom to see whic works best. So far this new radio is stellar on Ginger ale

Virus' zip of the radios is flashable through recovery fyi
