How to Flash:

In order for this to work, the HTC Evo Shift 4G needs to be S-OFF. Flashing the radio with a corrupt file or interrupting the flash, can brick the device, please proceed with caution.

1. Download the your choice of radio for the HTC Evo Shift 4G.
2. Make sure the filename is PG06IMG.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).
3. Connect the HTC Evo Shift 4G to the computer via USB.
4. On the computer, open terminal and run the following commands:
   

   adb push PG06IMG.zip /sdcard/PG06IMG.zip
   adb shell md5sum /sdcard/PG06IMG.zip

   NOTE: The md5 should match up the provide the original download location. If not, redownload & try again.
   

   adb reboot bootloader

5. The HTC Evo Shift 4G will reboot & usually boot into fastboot. Pressing the Power button will put the device into the bootloader.
6. The bootloader will scan for the radio update. Once it finds the update, select Yes.
7. Allow the bootloader to finish flashing the updated radio, and reboot the HTC Evo Shift 4G normally.

Freezing at splash screen after flashing in bootloader, for me. Battery pull and go back into bootloader and the radio version is changed. I'm using CM 7.0.3.1. Reflashing the ROM in recovery didn't work. Using the nandroid I did before flashing the radio update worked, though!

Flashed fine for me. Downloaded to phone. Copied to root of SD. Reboot to bootloader and have had no real probs. Thought I saw a couple graphical glitches on sense at reboot but flawless since.

flashed with no problems for me.now to see how it performs

Is this safe to apply over any ROM? Lets say CM7 nightly 75?

It should be safe. I flashed it while on the new gb sense leak and I'm now running a nandroid of cm7 I had. Confirmed much better signal n I see slight improvement in 3g service.

Not flashing for me...says no image. I placed it in the root /sdcard/, this is correct right?

MD5 matches, file name is PG06IMG.zip and it is in /sdcard/PG06IMG.zip

Just says

Loading...[PG06IMG.zip]
No image!

No way to really verify if its there either while in bootloader.........

That's what I did. Downloaded straight to my phone, copy/paste to root, then went into bootloader. Asked if I wanted to update.

Yeah... It isn't happy with me for some reason

1.When I do this | C:\adb>adb push PG06IMG.zip /sdcard/PG05IMG.zip

2.I get this| 1288 KB/s (9481164 bytes in 7.187s)

3.Then I put the second part in| C:\adb>adb shell md5sum /sdcard/PG06IMG.zip

4.Then I get this| md5sum: can't open '/sdcard/PG06IMG.zip': No such file or directory

Anyone know what I'm doing wrong?

There is a typo.

You named it PG05, it needs to be PG06.

Update the instructions in first post please.

So just change the typo in my step 1?

Type

adb shell mv /sdcard/PG05IMG.zip /sdcard/PG06IMG.zip

then

adb shell md5sum /sdcard/PG06IMG.zip

 

[koolkid09]

Type

adb shell mv /sdcard/PG05IMG.zip /sdcard/PG06IMG.zip

then

adb shell md5sum /sdcard/PG06IMG.zip

It didn't flash. I'm still on 1.07.00.1129.

Did you do the

adb reboot bootloader

then press power button?

 

[koolkid09]

Yea. It kept saying no image. I'll try it again.

 

[koolkid09]

Do I need to be on a sense rom for this to work?

I've tried everything and it doesn't seem to want to work.

Ran the update and I can't get past the HTC flash screen after bootup. Restoring my nandroid backup right now; hopefully I'll be back up and running soon.

EDIT: Nandroid restore successful; I am now on the new baseband version. Seeing a pretty dramatic increase in signal strength; I checked before I did the update and was seeing -84 dBm in my bedroom. Right now after the update it's at -73 dBm. Be interesting to see how it is at work tomorrow. Thanks for posting this update!

 

[koolkid09]

This is what I get when I go into fastboot

sorry for the bad quality

1st it fails then it goes back to the bootloader screen.
