Root The "Fix everything by turning your phone into an Evo 3d" thread

So answered my own question...back to The your guide s-off guide to fix my hboot and radio. Do I have to flash back to stock rom...correct?? I can't jump to step two with the current rom of dirty unicorns and flash the s-off hboot and radio fix from this 4.2.2 jellybean rom??

Actually, you can undo the firmware updates from this guide just by flashing joe_blow's all-in-one firmware file from his "fix everything" thread. You also need to flash the firmware only file for the March OTA after that since I don't think it includes that, but the firmware file in remanifest's guide may be updated with the March OTA already.

For the PRL, you can either do the profile/PRL update in settings of a Sense 3.6 ROM or use negalite BluROM that is setup to modify PRL by using the ##PST# dialer code.

So can I flash the OTA update if my hboot is now 1.04.2000 or would I need to change the hboot back to 1.50.5050 first, before flashing the OTA.
 
So i'm on the famous Dirty Unicorns 4.2.2 rom now. So don't have sense and the ##PST# doesn't work either. Any other options!!!

Sorry, but you'll have to flash an ICS Sense ROM like BluROM with the ##PST# function enabled or a GB Sense ROM with an epst.apk that supports the ##PRL# function. Otherwise QPST and diagnostic drivers are required to manually change the PRL.

Since you're S-OFF, you can jump to step two of my guide at any time. Using joe_blow's fix everything will get you back to the previous radio unless he's updated the package.

Yea, that's why I said he would have to flash the firmware only file from the March OTA if he uses one of joe_blow's files.

Do you have a version(s) of joe_blow's zip file(s) with the March OTA updates included linked from your guide? I just don't want him to get the impression that he needs to do a lot of steps when he really only needs to flash one or two PG86IMG.zip files.

Yes sir, step two of my guide includes both the November and March OTA firmware in one zip. One zip to bind them all.

It might be best to link that file and tell him to flash it from the bootloader since that's all he really needs to do instead of sending him to your guide then. I know it amounts to the same thing but sometimes users get confused when they have to pick up in the middle of a guide.

I keep getting an E:Cant find script update error when I do the HBoot...

I want to get this thing completely stripped down and start from the ground again (including my SD card) and onto the 3D setup... What am I missing and what should I do?

Can you rephrase this?

How do you "do the HBoot"? Please be specific.

You want to return to stock? You want to format your SD Card?

What HBOOT are you using? What recovery are you using?

The more information we have, the easier it is to help know where things went wrong and to offer solutions.
 
Anyone know where I can get the newest HBoot, or the hboot that came stock? I need a higher hboot to flash back to stock (I think) to check a few features.

Or would it be easier to RUU? and if I RUU, what do I lose/gain/etc?

Much easier and quicker to change hboots than to ruu. Ruu unroots the phone and changes everything to stock.

Meaning you have to add recovery again and root. Plus the ruu takes awhile to download and about 10. Minutes to run.

If you want all the firmware from the ruu, you can use the download in post 3. Though for the evo v you would be getting the old radio since there have been updates since.

Basically I would just change the hboot. You can use the sprint 1.58 hboot if you need the newest.

Edit: i guess it depends on what you are doing. You want to return completely to stock? Or you just need the stock rom?
If you want to keep root, change hboots and flash the rooted stock rom. If you want the phone completely stock use the ruu and then take the OTA updates.

Thank you, very informative. I only want to return to a stock rom to test some issues I've been having on some CM10.1 builds; want to see if its the software or the hardware.

Well, we need to know what's not working if we're going to tell you how to fix it. :p

Can you be a little more specific?

Luckily you are s-off so we can pretty much do anything to the phone. Running an ruu would likely fix all your problems, but again, I'd like to know what they are first in case they aren't software related problems.
 
Lol my bad. We'll my weather app does not work when I try to view the interactive hourly chart, it just quits. My 4g, and 3g only work on the web browser, and some apps, not working for instagram, fb etc. It won't let me update my ROM either. Why does it say "locked"? It said unlocked before..
 
Are you on the stock rom rooted, or are you running a custom rom?

I would probably just Run the RUU, take the two ota updates, then add recovery, then root or flash a rooted rom.

And of course make a nandroid backup before doing all of this. ;)
 
Well if you are on a custom rom, maybe that's the problem? If you want to save a little time, you could try a new rom first, and if that doesn't help, then do the RUU.

Phone won't boot;Check These:

1:Compatible Hboot
2:Compatible ROM(GSM vs. CDMA)
3:Compatible Kernel

These are the 3 main things that will stop a phone from booting(unless you modded one of the 3) Even with a borked recovery you can still boot. Plus we need more info please if you want in depth help.
