If you can't get to a computer that will work, you can ship the phone to me, I'll do S-OFF for you and ship it right back to you.Okat thanks guys ill try this once (if) I get my replacement evo v and get to a computer
Yes you can - just skip step one, since you don't need to do S-OFF again. After you run the RUU, make sure that everything works properly. Once you've done that, format everything (except sd card) and then install Harmonia and verify everything works again...Can I run this guide again being s-off and everything that I got from originally doing this guide? I am trying to fix my data loss issues. I have tried other avenues, but nothing had seemed to work and was recommended to try the ruu again. Thanks in advance.
If you want the OTA updates without doing S-OFF, just go into Settings>System Update>HTC Software Update and accept the update. You don't need to do anything from this guide if you don't want to. You should still have root, but if you don't, you can just flash a superuser zip file - if you need a link, I can find one for you.Ok I've had my phone running a rooted version of stock and have just now started to go through the prosses of updating to the 2.95 march OTA update. The thing im having is I don't want S-off, I just want a rooted stock OS with the latest updates. what instructions do I follow? If I run the RUU and install all the updates how do I go about rooting my phone from there?
Yeah when the update first came out I did that but on restart it loaded up recovery giving me an error saying the update zip was not found. Anyway I've done the RUU and have my phone updated so I'll just flash superuser. If you have an link I'd appreciate it thank you.If you want the OTA updates without doing S-OFF, just go into Settings>System Update>HTC Software Update and accept the update.

After that, go ahead and run step two of this guide from HBOOT. Boot up Harmonia and make sure it's working properly one more time, and then feel free to wipe everything and install whatever ROM you want (other than stock).

You're most welcome!Hello, remanifest,
Thanks for your excellent guide, which I followed carefully without skipping any step (s-off, latest OAT updates, and Harmonia ROM) for my first smart phone, Virgin Mobile EVO V 4G.
This may be due to the service upgrade that you mentioned in the below paragraph. How long have you been experiencing this? Another cause is a change in your profile at Virgin Mobile.Data-wise, 4G works where it is available but 2G/3G does not. As a result, an error code 67 message pops up if the phone detects no data connections.
The software update failed because it wasn't "expecting" some of the changes that are there in Harmonia - not necessarily a strict function of rooting, but in this case, for simplicity's sake, the ROM is preventing the update.I contacted VM via e-Mail. She acknowledged a possible cause of cell site upgrade in my area and wanted me to perform an HTC Software Update, which I tried but failed. I gathered it may have been a result of a rooted phone.
The short answer here is no. Step two from my guide gives you all of the firmware that was available in the HTC Update. What you're "missing" are the software upgrades, which you can obtain by installing the DEODEX rooted ROM that was built immediately following the update. One thing that I would recommend if you haven't done it yet, is to go into the Settings where you see the HTC Update, and choose the "Update Profile" option - this has fixed issues for me in the past.My questions are:
1. Do I really need the HTC update now that I have taken step 2 from your guide? The failure to fall back to 2G/3G connection is not limited to my area only as I have had same experience across different states where services should be available according to the coverage maps from both Sprint and VM.
Nope - any updates that are released from here on out will be provided by members of the community to rooted / S-OFF phones within a day or so of release.2. Do I need to follow the preliminary step to restore to stock if I were to receive further updates from VM or HTC?
The data on your SD Card should remain safe, but it's always a good idea to back it up on your computer to be safe. Simply copying and pasting the contents of the SD Card to a folder on your computer once a week should be sufficient, depending upon how often the data changes on your SD Card.3. I have installed some apps and downloaded offline OSM maps to my SD card since rooting my phone. What is the proper way to back up and restore my data with all configurations intact?
Poweredge99 said:So, after many hours and resets, running the RUU, Updating to the current updates, and many countless VM reps and Tech People, The issue was resolved by the Tech by simply starting my month. According to him, my payment and new month hit a bump and didn't not fully take. I would never think to ask that, and amazingly everyone at VM had me doing resets, reactivation, and so on. As far as not being able to log into my account, I am one of the lucky people being migrated to the new account management system. Once again, Thank you all for the help.
What stock ROM did you flash? I'd advise against taking the updates while rooted, and get the updates from the ROM... I'd also advise you to get S-OFF, since it will make things easier on you in the long run.Curious, I had a fully stock phone w/ updates. Then I rooted it, but now have flashed a stock rom to it (still rooted) It's prompting me about updates. Should I take those updates?
