I wonder if it would put the old bootloader back on...I'm new to HTC and not sure entire what all the ruu does.
I want to try bit don't have anywhere to run linux to unbrick.

No, the RUU will not work.

But you could flash a rom that's built on the old base.

Perfect...thanks for the couple tips. Still learning the htc way of doing things.

No.
The EVO Shift 4G won't be receiving an ICS update unfortunately

Why do people assume that if one phone gets an update, that another phone is guaranteed to get one soon? HTC and the carriers have different people working on each phone/update. There is absolutely no correlation between one phone getting an update and another phone getting an update.

Any hope?

Im not really sure how it came to this but my 3d is i guess "semi-bricked"
I was one of the lucky few who plagued themselves with the VM firmware. I successfully downgraded per the instructions, but i wanted to unroot my phone completely. I follwed the unroot instructions and wrote the fastboot secure flag 3 at the last step and it took fine but now my radio is no longer working. By radio i mean my actual signal coming into the phone. It says no service with an x next to the signal bars. Any thoughts. Im currently on locked hboot 1.5 S-On with the latest sprint firmware from the OTA update. This is the only problem. Everything else in the OS works fine. I tried RUUs and PG86IMGs and they go thru but dont bring back radio service...
Have you checked your APN settings???

Great!!!!!!!!!!
Anyone else?
Is Sprint the only place to get the white EVO?
thats not entirely true. when i got my first white evo july 13th it had the hboot 1.15... however when i brought it into Sprint to have them swap it out due to a vibration defect, the new one that i got had hboot 1.12 on it. pretty much luck of the draw.
and yes you can only get the white evo at a sprint store
I got my whitey about a week ago, and it is now S-OFF Came with the old software, thankfully.
My white one came with 1.12. Was very relieved to find that, I thought for sure it wouldn't be.

Sprint is replacing my 3d with an lte

So like the title states sprint is sending me an evo lte to replace my again broken evo 3d. This final time my mic went out and ive had 4 replacements in the last 12 months. I got the 3d on the premier early launch and have had probably at least 6 replacements. Anyways this was the first time i was offered the lte every other time they offered me a supersonic or a shift? Im really excited to get my lte i would have bought it at launch if sprint didnt pull our premier upgrade status, but now ill have it monday or tuesday and i still have an upgrade may 1st! Anyways the point to my thread anyone got any good suggestions on good roms from xda or otherwise, i would like the cam to function well, anyway photosphere works on sense 4+ Im just too excited since sprint launched lte in half my small town im hoping i get it at my house!!
FYI i went to my local sprint authorized store
i have full insurance on my phone
Been a customer for 6 years
and ive had about 6 evo 3ds (the refurbs really are garbage)
sprint is sending me a brand new lte in box
Any other suggestions you guys have i would love to hear, love modding and changing things around, not afraid at all. Ive done a little looking on xda but id like to hear what some of you guys run! Thats it for now, been rambling for too long now

Thats what they did when I broke my og evo in october 2011, they said they ran out of og evos so I got the 3d for free Welcome to the hood :good:
Nice, my sister got a replacement og evo about 3ish months ago, they must have got some more in maybe? All i know is it cant come in soon enough, ive been wanting this phone for a while now haha
when u get it.. run dirty racun to gain s-off then flash meanbean rom :good:
ive already read thru all the steps for dirty racun and downloaded the ruu i needed for it, and im going to checkout meanbean now

Keep in mind that when you get your replacement Evo LTE that it very well may have the latest JB 4.1 with new hboot as well so gaining S-Off via the dirty racon method wouldn't work but you should be able to obtain root though. Just something to keep in mind. As for roms, so far I've tried CM10 and it was pretty good, fast and stable. I have yet to try MeanBean but after lurking Mikey's thread and all the feedback and comments, I'm confident enough with v2.31 that I'm going to try it tonight.
Edit: FYI, I only mention that the phone may come with the latest ruu/JB 4.1 because I got my evo lte at launch and my phone was stolen this past Thanksgiving. My replacement evo lte had the latest ruu with hboot 1.19 when the phone's original hboot was 1.12.
Edit #2: So, I stand corrected!!!! It looks like team unlimited does have an s-off exploit for hboot 2.09, just read the thread and was on the website, so my mistake!!!

[Q] Test device?

Phone was HTC-Dev unlocked, stock rooted and moonshine S-OFF. Reverted back to stock recovery and took the OTA update. Now under Settings->About->Tell HTC and error reporting the phone says that it's a test device. Has anyone else seen this? Is it something I should be worried about?
I've seen that before on HTC Dev unlocked devices. Nothing to be concerned with, really.
