Root Need Advice on what to do next.

[ken987]

Hi,
I got my Evo on the first day. I rooted it and was using the Bugless Beast. I then really wanted 2.2 so I did not do the OTA. I did whatever was recommended at the time to go to 2.2 and not lose root. I am a noob so I just followed the guides and unfortunately don't remember what method I used for either one.
Months later....my phone starts to reboot whenever....so I try to do research and I see I am on the PRI 1.34..... now I know that has nothing to do with my rebooting...but now I am trying to get a better version of the PRI. So I do the 2 step unroot method (HTC Sync and RUU) after doing the unrevoked forever with the S-ON feature.
Well I'm still on the 1.34 PRI.
My phone does not reboot anymore...BUT now where I work I am always on 4G Roaming..or 3G Roaming.....
If anyone can tell me if I can get back to stock 2.2 with at least 1.70 I would appreciate it.
Ken

Ken,

For stock ROOTED 2.2 rom visit this Download: Stock Rooted 3.28.651.1 OTA update.zip site and locate it. For the PRI, the standard is 1.34, many have gotten to 1.40 with much effort, and I have only heard of a few that reached 1.70.

It's not likely that getting newer PRI will change much for reception, only slightly.
