Superevilllam posted this I copied it to the first post as it works and is the easiest way.

Posted by themike1 from XDA:

We have all seen the threads where you do a ##768# Factory Reset after doing a Nandroid Backup and this will initiate Hands Free Activation which ultimately after a couple tries will update your PRI.

Why not cut to the chase and do a ##3282#?

This will allow you to Start the Hands Free Activation Process and update your PRL without forcing you to do a Factory Reset.

I believe I updated mine this way, but am not positive with all the testing I have done.

Steps:


1.Dial ##3282#

2.Enter Edit Mode

3.Enter your MSL

4.Select Data Profile

5.Menu

6.Restore

7.Let Phone Reboot, and Wait and the Hands Free Activation will Start.

8.Repeat until you have 1.40 PRI.

has worked for some but not for all.

Process Number 2
If you cannot update through the above method then this has worked for many and I had to do this on the second EVO on my account.

1. Do a Nand backup!

2. Use Clockworkmod or Amon recovery and flash a stock rooted 2.2 found here http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=743352

3. If you flashed the stock rooted skip through setup BUT LET IT DO THE HANDS FREE ACTIVATION and get to the home page

4. Menu then Settings then About Phone then Software Information PRI Version Should be 1.4 if not repeat the top set of instructions using your MSL until you get it!

5. Restore your Nand Image it will not affect the PRI

When a better way comes along I will post better instructions :)


Here's yet another way! This also explains what the PRI is and what it does very informative!

And I call that proof positive! Thanks OMG I was to chicken shit to do it.

Did you follow the instructions in the first post? The thing that gets me is the restoring of stock 2.2? I get I need to to update the PRI but how the heck could I still install any zip or backup from recovery or hboot after I revert to stock?

grrrrr, at least 7 attempts and still nothing :(

Re: Pri 1.4.0 is here FOR ROOTED USERS
 

actually I did not see that thread until after I updated....I was browsing the Bounty thread, when I saw the steps.....tried & it worked...

here's what I did...

do a Nanddroid backup, then boot android
##786# MSL
reboot into recovery
wiped everything only once though
rebooted
let it do hands free activation
skipped google login info looked at about phone

Re: Pri 1.4.0 is here FOR ROOTED USERS

Re: Pri 1.4.0 is here FOR ROOTED USERS

Re: Pri 1.4.0 is here FOR ROOTED USERS
 

thanks Ken, I tried this on your latest deoxed with theme and netarchy. it was weird, got an htc error each time after no firmware message available. Then flashed Damage Control and tried 3 times, no luck. Now trying latest rooted stock ota. one question for you. Did you see no firmware available message or did this update as well?
