Re: OMJ's HTC EVO 2.1 Custom ROM v1.6 | Eclair | *Updated | 6/30/10*

updated ROM should be ready tonight. There will actually be 2 versions. Those that followed Winmonewbies advice to fix 4g did the right thing (good job bro!). The file/fix that whitslack posted is just a modified version of the official 1.47.651.1 ROM. When I compare his file(s) w/ the official ROM, they are almost identical, except for HBOOT & Recovery, which whitslack states in his thread. I think the problem with v1.6 was that there is more than just the radio & wimax that gets updated if you updated w/ the official OTA update. It updates hboot, boot, recovery, system, userdata, microprocessor, radio, and WiMAX, so we were not getting the full updated files. This was not learned until the official RUU was released, which was after v1.6.

so here's the breakdown of the 2 ROMs:

1st ROM: has all the OTA updates, because of this, it will need to be flashed differently. you will have to flash from bootloader, just like if you followed whitslack's guide or similar to rooting, by placing PC36IMG.zip on the root of SD, power off, hold down vol down while pressing power. Only downside is the apps that I have added are installed to system/app & cannot be uninstalled. ROM will NOT be available via ROM Manager.

2nd ROM: This ROM will be a regular update.....if you have already flashed whitslack's starting over ROM/fix, you already have all the needed updates, so you will update/flash normally. ROM will be also available via ROM Manager.


1st ROM is uploading now....
