After you translate the page to english, click on the "Unicom 1 Download" link. The file will start downloading.

No you don't. Rename it PG05IMG.zip, drop it on the sdcard, reboot and hold down volume down.

Does anyone have any experience with the rom? any better than what we already have on the thunderbolt?
damn cant wait to have this phone rooted with clockwork so that i can test **** out and then restore...

I flashed this and haven't noticed any changes yet. Definately no skype. I'll report back in a day or so if i notice any changes

Any alternate links to this RUU?
My ISP is blocked "403 forbidden". Hate Comcast.

Well, this might not be big to anyone else, but this update has a significant fix as far as I'm concerned: L2TP IPSec VPN connections would not work with the ROM that shipped on the phone.
It works now!
Thank you SO much!

Still 403 forbidden on this link as well :/

The alt download link will be a temporary link based off your session.
Just go to the Chinese web site and click on the link that, when you hover over it, says something like "...[P05IMG]Mecha...".
I don't mean to scare anyone, but I just need to put this out there because it would simply kill me if someone else suffered because of my inaction:
If the download isn't 400MB then cancel it immediately - do not run it. No joke, I was literally passing out at my computer a month ago downloading one of the earlier T-Bolt RUUs and accidentally downloaded the 115 installer or something. My laptop touchpad was sensitive so I accidentally ran the installer. About a week later I started getting my keys logged and a Gmail account deleted (that I have gotten back thanks to a contact at the company). This can't be a mere coincidence.
It's not a major concern - just click the link in the area that one fellow poster demonstrated in a post on the last page. That's the link you want to click - do not click any others and you'll be fine.

Was just a matter of time before someone would build a malicious version of the image with some crap in it. Kinda funny sometimes how we're all anal about security but we trust an image from a chinese website.

It's simply not possible to flash anything but signed images until you have s-off (perm root). In other words, if this flashes properly, it's real. If you want to understand why, read up on asymmetric cryptography and PKI.

Trying to update Your PRL from aosp-3rd attempt!

Someone try this please.
install the attached .apks (adb push)(chmod 644)
reboot

go to dialer and dial *22803
This app makes a call to sprint when *22803 is dialed on stock dialer. It makes a special call and prl is updated.

More info?
When I dial *22803 it says welcome to sprint. And an activation adrenal comes up

probably ADB pushing to /system and setting the correct permissions

Try adb push and permissions 644. This app is what iniciates the prl to update thru a call (#22803)

Unrooting

Guys, I need some help.
I need to return my EVO Shift to Sprint and need to unroot. I did a search for "unroot" in this forum but couldn't find any clear instructions.
I have Cyanogenmod 7.1 installed (the official one).
Would really appreciate some help. Thanks

Search for the RUU. Run it. You'll go to unrooted stock. I have one on my old SD card if I find the time I'll load it up
Shifted from Outer Space

Or you can flash a sense based rom and take the OTA. That should work too

Flash the PG06IMG.zip file from the shift rookit below:
http://www.goo-inside.me/roms/VICODAN/shift-rootkit.rar
Copy the file to the SD card power off the phone, hold vol+down plus the power button and accept the update. You will lose all data including data on the sd card and will be unrooted on Froyo 2.2

Seems like just running RUU 2.2 is the easiest. I searched for it and got a link to multiupload which doesn't work.
Anyone know another source?

No problem there is a link and instructions there, just flash the PG06IMG.zip. Same thing as RUU.

Well... seeing how most android users (90% plus don't root) will blindly accept any and all ota updates, the tech said it was very odd for a user to still be on froyo... He said I put off 3 ota updates, and he was curious as to why... I shrugged my shoulders and said " I dunno"...

Also going to 3rd party stores makes life easier as well. I took my phone rooted last week and the tech told me to go unroot my phone and bring it back because his DM was there. LOL

Yeah someone I know was having touchscreen issues, with the phone. Told them, your insured, only been a few months since you got it. Take it back in and let them look at it. But first let me Unroot it. She was in a hurry, and took it to Sprint Rooted. Tech knows me, so he called me up. Was not a good situation . If the Manager had been there they would've flagged her account.
TEAM MiK
Mik Roms Since 3/13/11

My phones not under warrenty anymore. I go to third party stores and I don't care if they know it's rooted or not. As a matter of fact I tell them it's rooted. I've been told by people that sprint doesn't care if you root your phone or not as long as it's not under warrenty. I've also been told by a sprint employee that you can root your phone. There's a law that most people don't know about that protects developers from carriers attacking them with legal issues. Fear I have not.

[Guide] MANUAL PRL UPDATE WITHOUT MSL! (easy)

I AM NOT RESPONSIBLE IF YOU SOMEHOW BRICK YOUR DEVICE.

*I am currently testing the 24004 prl WITH NO issues so far*
I have noticed if you use any other ROM then Stock, it doesnt always work (even using the prls i know that work )
NO MSL REQUIRED!!!
***STOCK (ODEX/DEODEX/ROOTED) ROM REQUIRED***
CDMA workshop IS NOT Required!!
Step 1) DOWNLOAD THE PRL OF YOUR CHOICE
Step 2) rename the prl as TEST.prl (TEST needs to be in caps i think)
Step 3)place on the root of your SD card.
Step 4) TURN OFF MOBILE DATA ON THE PHONE *
Step 5) Go to Phone and do ##data#
Step 6 )SELECT VIEW (not edit!)
YOU WILL SEE a PRL Write area,
(Step 7) Click PRL Write
Step 8) Click PRL Write (again)
Your phone will now reboot and use that prl you placed on the root of your SD CARD. ENJOY
--==WARNING==--
You will get calls or letters from Sprint if you use any PRL not from Sprint OR roam alot and stream/Download a bunch of Music/ Movies every month for 3+ months. The data limit is 300MB per month before you get flagged. Sprint will just cancel your contract if you are not careful.

Does this affect/patch the root method we have for the Sprint Note 7?

Even if you update, you should be able to Odin back to the root file...as you can odin back to the original official tar. The update only adds wifi calling and some smaller fixes.

I have the update, have not installed it. I am not rooted, so don't know how to pull it off for others. But will be glad to if someone tells me how on my unrooted phone, if possible.

So it allowed you do download the update while you were rooted?
Out of curiosity, where on the phone was the download stored?
Oops, just read more carefully, you don't know where it is. I have pulled them before, but don't remember where. It's not the obvious places like "Download". I think it was in a cache folder. Use a root explorer and look around in the system folder.

Right , I don't know where it is

You could try ota or fota
I'm pretty sure it is downloaded to the system folder somewhere (cache maybe?). Without root, you'll never get to it.

I figured as much but it seemed like people were interested having non rooted people look.
It's odd cause this is the first non rooted phone I've ever had. I'm holding out to see if we get the boot loader unlocked and custom roms. If not I'm going to skip root this time around.

I'm in the same boat. I need my Gear S to work and it doesn't with the rooted rom we have now.
I'm surprisingly happy with it unrooted. I did buy Adguard, because I can't stand ads. Other than that, all good. If my plan didn't include HotSpot, it might be a different story.
