[RADIO] HTC Evo 3D (CDMA) Radios [PG86IMG.zip] (Updated: 31 July 2012)

gu1dry · Jul 30, 2011

These radios are for the CDMA HTC Evo 3D (e.g. Sprint).
Do NOT flash these radios on a GSM HTC EVO 3D!

Code:

/* I am not responsible for bricked devices, dead SD cards,
 * thermonuclear war, or the end of the world. Please do some research
 * if you have any concerns about flashing a radio before flashing it!
 * YOU are choosing to make these modifications, and if you point the
 * finger at me for messing up your device, I will laugh at you. */

How to Flash:

In order for this to work, the HTC Evo 3D needs to be S-OFF. Flashing the radio with a corrupt file or interrupting the flash, can brick the device, please proceed with caution.

Download the your choice of radio for the HTC Evo 3D.
Make sure the filename is PG86IMG.zip exactly or it will not work and copy it to the same folder as adb (the /platform-tools folder within the Android SDK folder).
Connect the HTC Evo 3D to the computer via USB.
On the computer, open terminal and run the following commands:
Code:
```
adb push PG86IMG.zip /sdcard/PG86IMG.zip
adb shell md5sum /sdcard/PG86IMG.zip
```
NOTE: The md5 should match up the provide the original download location. If not, redownload & try again.
Code:
```
adb reboot bootloader
```
The HTC Evo 3D will reboot & usually boot into fastboot. Pressing the Power button will put the device into the bootloader.
The bootloader will scan for the radio update. Once it finds the update, select Yes.
Allow the bootloader to finish flashing the updated radio, and reboot the HTC Evo 3D normally.

I like 4G... Got a 2 bar 4G signal as I write this. :-(

As a quick FYI, if your WiMAX fails to start after you update, don't say I didn't experience this

Currently in the process of checking if it is due to updating the WiMAX partition, or since I am still running the OS from before the OTA.

Full flash of the new software revision fixed the WiMAX issue.

Droga · Jul 30, 2011

So, does any of the latest radios (Im still on .0513) offer a significant increase in signal? My signal at my house is CRAP, and I already have an Airave for my mom's house, so I cant contact Sprint and request another one. This is actually one of the MAIN reasons for me wanting root, so we could flash newer (and potentially better) radios (seeing that a better radio will help with any battery issue also).

Thank you. Will update this to my thread when I get on a computer.

Just and idea, but how about adding a date beside the radio's to show when they were updated.

southern87 · Jul 30, 2011

So if your on .530 already this is pointless to do right?

bluediablito · Jul 30, 2011

Question
- what file do I flash first the winmax or the radio?
- can i grab the file and place them o. My SD card and flash VIA recovery?
- can i back up my current status (radio and winmax ) incase something goes wrong I can revert back?

I have hboot 1.40 and radio .518 don't know the winmax s-off cwm recovery and stock ROM with super user if it helps.

Yup, no need to reflash if your already on it.

vWvSTATICvWv · Jul 30, 2011

Thanks for posting. I'm still on 518 and have no issues. Anyone who has upgraded to 530 notice a difference?

Is your WIMAX working?

htabbach · Jul 30, 2011

since I did the s-off my 3g has been real bad. Is this known issue?

Yea...WiMax is fine. It's been shoddy in my neighborhood but it's great everywhere else I've tried.

myndwire · Jul 30, 2011

So has anyone bumped up to the latest radio? I'm already on current wimax, but my radio version is the one it seems everyone else is on. I'm also skeptical that they're in named PG56IMG.zip, and shooter's supposed to be PG86IMG.zip... any clues? Has anyone done this and verified that everything is still operating? Radio was a huge part of S-OFF, so I'm quite leary to flash the latest...

Also, has anyone worked on pulling NV/PRI? Those will most likely exist inside all of the RUUs/OTAs mentioned.. I know it's early to dig into this type of stuff at all, but I'm sure someone has been daring enough to test the latest radio

The reason the files was named PG56IMG was due to a minor mistake on my part. The file is valid, just a brainfart moment from working a 8h shift thru the night.

If you tell me which images they are I'll pull them & setup the zips, but the Evo 3D's naming convention for those images is different from past "Evo" devices.

Flashed the latest wimax and radio (and yes I changed the name tp PG86IMG.zip) and still have s-off, root and no brick. All is well.

Can't say it made any real difference, but typically radios don't so I'm not surprised.

Same here, worked perfect! thanks OP

I may have working update.zips that are flashable via recovery, but I need someone to test it. Join me on Freenode #cm-wiki if you would like to help with testing.
