this is because v1.4 is the 1st rom w/ the code needed for OTA updates, so if you're on v1.3, it does not have that code & ROM Manager does not know what version you're on. Once you're on v1.4, it will show u the version you're on & when checking for updates, will check for a new version.

I am going to use a dummy v1.5 to do some testing



I'm glad you like it Riley!



Thanks Dash, I appreciate you doing the video, I will add it to post #1
Thanks for the response I'm new to the whole andoird world, came over from winmo. Sorry for being a newb at this.

Understood on the 1.4 part.

I had a bit of an adventure trying to get to 1.4.

The funny thing is I selected to download 1.4 in rom manager with the new radio, it did the download and flash thing and then the radio showed as upgraded but the software info for the rom didn't show the 1.4 version. (Queman was removed so it was hard to tell if it was a good flash)

So I went back and tried to flash it manually, and I downloaded 1.4 and flashed and got the same results with the latest Clockworkmod recovery console.

Next step was I went back to the base sprint rom with an RUU. Followed the steps in: "EVO Full Root|Recovery|Nand Backup/Restore|Flashing for n00b's Instructions & Videos" did the data wipe 2x dalvik-cache 2x etc and the first boot after the flash of OMJ 1.4 r.zip, the device showed 1.3 in the software info. Then things went wrong, next boot sdcard said it was removed and to put in a new one, USB wasn't being detected.

I sdcard and usb bricked my device. So some really handy steps by Calkulin and I got USB back up and now I'm sitting back at the stock sprint rom.

Any suggestions on the best steps to upto OMJ 1.4? Does it sound like I messed up on the nand unlock or are there better steps to follow?
