The radio is separate from the pri....you need to read this post and you will find the radio in .exe format

just use winrar to exract the exe and you'll get your nbh file for flashing from mem card

ahh thanks bro

EDIT

I attached the .nbh for everyone, just unrar and put it on your sdcard and flash away!

Works Great.

Another thing to note is that after a soft reset I see the normai NRGY ROM wallpaper, but as windows loads more I see an all white screen with the htc logo on it and then it loads to TF3d...so something in that pri does something weird...you've been warned.

this is a common 6.5 problem. for quick fix open slideout keyboard. for permanent fix goto settings....today pick a new theme, then go back to old theme, no more bloody start menu

ISDN30e / ISDN30 / PRI GSM Gateway Products
The use of 30 channel ISDN30e GSM Gateways started in 2001 with many alternative carriers connecting them to VOIP gateways and terminating calls in large volumes to the mobile phone networks using the standard mobile phone tariffs. A carrier using a single GSM Gateway could terminate up to 600,000 minutes per month, and most carriers had banks of GSM gateways terminating sveral million minutes of calls per month.
This high volume and need for reliability has led to the continuing development of PRI GSM Gateway products which means that they produce consistently high quality calls with advanced SIM management to make the most of the multitude of tariffs available in today's mobile phone marketplace.
GSM SAVE have selected the most popular Gateways used by carriers and can now offer these to the corporate business user who find their cost of calls to mobile phones spiralling. These gateways are ideal for companies who make large volumes of calls to mobile phones such as call centres, recruitment and the service industries.

Not even close. The way PRI is used in that context is actually used in the telcom world. It's basically a trunk of lines used for voice channels. It stands for primary rate interface.

In this winmo world, I have no idea what it stands for.. but I think it has something to do with sprint provisioning. I'd like to think of it like a computer bios firmware but for carrier phones.

Update... PRI update apparently is carrier specific. it stores the band ranges that the carrier is supposed to use. I wouldn't use this unless you are a Sprint customer.

so why would 1 update the PRI ?

I can second that, totally hosed them out got exact same effect. And I am on Nfsfans rom.

Be very careful running this.

I know what you are talking about, but I don't believe this has anything to do with it, because it never did it before..ever! I just decided to flash the NRGY 8/1 anyway to no biggie

The wallpaper and icons issue you guys are seeing is a very, very old bug in PPST and nothing new at all. It does no damage, and is really not reason to be any more careful than you would have been otherwise. These updates are generally applied by a stock rom RUU on your running device *before* flashing the new ROM, therefore, they are followed by a hard reset. You are running the update manually and alone and may see the PPST bug.

No offense to anyone, but if you are not willing to hard reset your device you probably should not be here looking for PRI updates to apply manually.

Also I can't guess what PRI stands for but what it is is non-volatile settings. For example, if you go into PPST and change your audio codec from EVRC to Voice 13K, that setting will remain after a hard-reset or ROM flash, because it is an NV (non-volatile) radio parameter. These are what the PRI sets. A new PRI means a change in some parameter passed to your radio at low level.

It is my guess that Sprint has not made a change in an existing variable, but instead the new radio probably looks for new parameters that needed to be set by a new PRI.

thanks dcd..learn something everyday....like I said I was not too worried with it because I was due to flash anyway....
