Nothing, if you are not in an LTE area. Not sure if that is the question being asked.
And...I'm not sure what you mean by the Hboot not staying. The firmware seems to have flashed just fine, since you have the latest radios.

If you want to be technical, he has the firmware from the 3.17 update, not 4.3. But that's another issue in and of itself.

If you're S-off, just run the 4.3 RUU. Afterwards you can install a custom recovery again and flash SuperSU. Then you can flash Captain's ROM or whatever else you'd like so long as it's based on the new layout.

Yeah I've been rooting since my Inspire on at&t. Then the HTC vivid... Then in switched to sprint.. Got a galaxy 2 which was almost as bad as the iPhone 3g from years ago. I finally got the evolte.. I didn't root it soon enough so now I'm paying the price. I'll flash the 4.3 then the recovery and hboot?

Firmware, recovery, then ROM.

I dunno what was different from the bother night but, I finally got hboot and the other baseband to flash, this after hours using a different memory card today.. Just decided to try the card from the other night and the PJ74img file fully flashed this time.. First try.. Just one of those try again until or works I suppose.. To a couple of tries with rumrunner too the the other day when I unlocked rooted. Thanks for yalls help... Trust me when I say I did research before asking for help, installing a nexus 7 second gen as my head unit.. Need phone for WiFi.. But I'll have 5.1 surround sound in my my truck .. Via audio splitter from the HDMI, run digital fiber to the surround sound decoder that has 6 rca out puts that runbto the amps .. Hell yeah! Pluss the HDMI audio extractor has an HDMI out.. So I can run extra screens or a projector to a personal drive in experience

Had this same issue occur on my EVO4G, back in the day. Basically when they first were new. Messed around too much and somehow lost my WiMax keys. Since then I believe they've come up with several ways to repair the issue. What I did then was RUU back to factory, and start the whole root process over. That got my WiMax back.

Reset to factory RUU using the supersonic RUU utility, on the hboot screen it still says s-off and revolutionary at the top...Sole Conslusion is that this phone, per revolutionary CANNOT be unrooted, now that i have the bone stock rom on my evo, the 4G doesnt work, i know this because on the stock evo rom, while searching for 4g you get in the top left part of the screen it states "4G!" which means there is no 4G, well that little symbol is not on the top the screen in either my new rom or the stock rom, stating something is wrong with my 4G...i think i have a unique situation that i need to be fixed...and i cannot find a fix for this
somebody bump this, i think i have a unique situation

Black screen camera

Ok so my camera used to work, im s-on rooted running a rom, camera app shows up, no preview and the buttons do
nothing. So, has any one had this and was able to fix it? What did you do? Any help would be appreciated.
And im a week beyond the 30 day warranty so no trading for a new one, and I don't really feel like sending it in to HTC
just yet.
You do know its one year warranty.

Unrooted and relocked bootloader, still no camera. Even did the latest RUU and no rear camera! will my htc warranty still
work since I did the htcdev unlock????????????????
If your still within your warranty time frame you should be fine. My last EVOLTE had major antenna issues and Sprint gave me a new one, even though it was rooted. And yes the tech knew it was rooted.

Ok but i'm out of my 30 day, so I'm stuck with the htc warranty. I called Htc and they said my warranty was fine. If they try to go into recovery, since I used HTCDEV will they just kick it back to me?? I don't know if some one will know this for sure, thought I would ask.

Can I flash a older radio?

My EVO LTE is s-off with hboot 1.12. I installed the latest jelly bean firmware through the bootloader and my radio is now 1.12.11.1119. I've noticed my 3g speeds are much slower and was wondering if I could flash a previous radio. I've done some searching and everything I have read says trying to downgrade my firmware will brick my EVO. Can I flash only the radio through recovery? Thanks for any help.
Yes
Sent from my EVO using xda premium
Thanks.
Do not downgrade radio if you don't want a paper device.
Sent from my EVO using xda premium
I think it may be possible to do but it is a very big risk. If you are going to attempt it, you better have insurance. Let us know what happens
I do it. I've never had a problem. I only use the radio from captain throwback zip files. The new radio stinks. My days as home went from900 kbs to 200. I switched to last radio and data came back.
Sent from my EVO using xda app-developers app
DO NOT DO IT. I did not read Captain's warning in red letters, at themikmik.com, and my phone got bricked. Radios could be rolled back with the OG EVO, but the LTE is a different beast.
Sent from my EVO using xda premium
I was able to flash an older radio but it didn't help with my 3g speeds at all. I then reinstalled the latest firmware to get the latest radios back. I think sprint was just extra slow for a few days because my speeds are back to normal.
Are your guys who are bricks wiping dalvik and cache? I don't understand why some can and some can't. I bet it's the production date of the phone. Who knows?

[Q] Update EVO 4G LTE Firmware Or Not?

I'm having several issues with my phone and am on the verge of selling it and my OG EVO and getting an S3 or S4.
I stupidly purchased the device during the pre-order period last May (b4 any user reviews were out).
I'm rooted and running a stock ROM by Viper: Stock Rooted 3.15.651.16 Odex
3.15.651.16 710 RD
Android 4.1.1
Kernal 3.4.10-g 014d33e
Hboot 1.12.0000
Unlocked via HTC
S-On
TWRP 2.3.1.0
Baseband 1.02.12.0427
Radio version unknown
TWRP version 2.3.1.0
I don't know what radios (forgot where to find that info).
My issues are:
Random re-booting several times (3 to 6) per day.
Very rarely connect to LTE (and I live in L.A and work downtown).
On the rare occasion that I do connect to LTE, my apps (like maps) report, "This app requires a data connection", and I am un-able to access the Internet (but they work when the 3G icon is displayed).
I have read opinions that we should update our phones firmware to receive the latest improvements. However, xHausx has a post with links to firmware files, but he recommends NOT updating your firmware if your phone is S On (which mine is).
So I'm thinking of trying another ROM b4 giving up. But I'm unsure if there is any advantage (or dis-advantage) for me to update my firmware.
I want to stay mostly stock. I would prefer to keep Google Now. But after almost one year and still unable to use the LTE network here in Los Angeles (rumored to be nearly 50% complete), I'm about done waiting. The 3G network is painful, and I'm in effect paying $85 a month for 450 voice mins and email, but not much else.
You are on really old radios for one thing.
Not sure if that will solve your issue or not. But it's worth a shot. I would s- off the phone and then do the firmware updates.
Your baseband #'s are the radios.

Ah!. Well, tells you how long it's been since I've delved into this.
I assume I can S-Off even though I did the HTC unlock?
And I still have the constant re-booting issue to fix. Factory reset maybe?
You can use FacePalm to S-OFF you will find it in Original Development it takes about 5 minutes or less
Then you can update all your firmware manually using Captain_Throwback's firmware files
Any questions shoot me a PM

I just got the firmware and radios updated this afternoon, so I'll be checking it out fr the next couple of weeks to see if it does any better with Internet and LTE.
As far as where to sell it? That depends on where you are. Ebay is great for most people, but it takes longer because you have an auction to deal with.
Craigslist is ok if you're in a densely populated area. I'll probably use EBay if I do sell it, just because I'm willing to take a little time to get the best price.
But I'm hoping I can fix my issues because I still have 14 months left on my contract, and Sprint doesn't pro-rate until about 6 months into the contract. So I'm probably looking at about $300 to end it.

Thanks for the suggestions. Good luck. My Evo LTE has actually been pretty stable. No LTE though...and I work 1/4 mile from SPRINT HQ.

i had my last ONE replaced today. rushed to get my Unlock bin. debating on weather or not its worth the unlock at this moment. still wondering why there is no ATT RUU
Agree a bit scare every time i flash something with no way to go back to stock. My nandroid corrupted or something wont flash.
Flashing the deodexed version causes the video camera to crash. Flash the odexed version; I've had no problems.

ARHD is one amazing rom, i dont want to change it but im having bad speeds on LTE and around 1-2 bars, 3 being in the top of a mountain maybe.
