I ran update on stock rooted rom. Had a couple apps froze but all there. Seems to be stuck on triangle with "!" in it for 15 minutes. How long should it take?

Is it bricked, should I pull battery?"
[EVO 4G General] h77ps:
I had the same issue. If you press the "menu" button you will see why it failed. I am guessing its failing because you are rooted like me.
[EVO 4G General] MrDrumngun:
Gf doesn't want me to root hers lol. I may be able to convince her especially when I tell her I can get rodd of all the bloatware. I'm really curious to see what the update is like.

Does the virus update work on rooted evo
[EVO 4G General] treckin:
I showed no updates till I manually updated my profile and PRL. Then boom.
[EVO 4G General] Justin.G11:
What a piece of garbage update. There was so much promise in having gtalk as it would have given all android users a unified video chat answer instead of 15+ subpar ones, but they didn't even bother rolling the EVO up to a revision to use it.

I guess at least we'll get new drivers for our AOSP Kernels. Thank GOD HTC went back on their bootloader stance ... cause so far their "update commitment" we heard about in Google IO is just another empty promise.

I'm curious as to what the last 2 is for. Im pretty sure all the other ROMs are x.xx.651.1

Sense 2 maybe?

[EVO 4G General] :
You guys think HTC will at least give us a new version of sense. Like 2.0?
[EVO 4G General] :
so, other than various bug fixes that have already been stated, are there any other major changes to look forward to with this update? better battery management, file indexing/coding/whatever, better speeds, hardware acceleration? why should i switch from MikFroyo (which i'm perfectly happy with) to a 2.3 ROM?

I'm intrigued now that you talk about it. For some reason, I doubt we'll have sense 2.0

How long do you think it will take to see a flashable rooted version of this ROM? :)
[EVO 4G General] chaosblack1991:
Once I went AOSP I never looked back at sense :D
[EVO 4G General] bjb_nyj101:
It seems that there is more change than just the last 2 on the end...

Leak: 4.12.651.1

OTA: 4.22.651.2
[EVO 4G General] CheesyNutz:
shift got a full 2.1 ota leak so i would hope we would
[EVO 4G General] Plancy:
AOSP has less bloat initially, but the phone-relative builds released by the manufacturer are always more stable and optimized, all you have to do is debloat it and devs have further optimized those ROMs. I'll be waiting for this :).
[EVO 4G General] Solicitous:
I really hope so man
[EVO 4G General] Solicitous:
Good catch!
[EVO 4G General] Rippley05:
I agree. I don't really care much tho... I just want the GB kernel and they can keep their lame "won't even be able to tell it's GB" update.

Yeah I agree
[EVO 4G General] Xerexis:
This should fix the Novatec brightness issues to...Right? That would be awesome since there is some great leaked roms out there but the novatec issue is keeping me from using them.
[EVO 4G General] jonathan413:
i think htc and sprint are holding off on sense 2.0 or 2.1 so ppl would go to the evo 3d and ditch the og evo..IMO
[EVO 4G General] Solicitous:
Yeah because the devs will have a stable GB sense kernel to work with
[EVO 4G General] Beejis:
Good find, can't wait!

I am waiting for them to root the ROM though.

Well, updated everything. It's quicker, I'll give it that, but in essence, the same 'ol song and dance. Sense 1.0 really suxx now that I've seen 2.1 and 3.0.

My advice..........stay rooted and just wait for the devs to whip up something special. That is all.

Huh? Slow down, take a breath, and rephrase the question.
[EVO 4G General] brad560:
all he has up are the radios and kernel from the OTA update. He is still getting a root, stock rom prepared, not done yet.

Agreed, pretty underwhelming..

My netflix is broken too :( it'll play about one second of a video then revert to the queue
[EVO 4G General] eman3316@optonline.net:
I have been saying that the whole time. Didn't understand what the excitement was for. The phone will act and feel almost the same as when you run Froyo. People were making it like this update was going to make there EVO's feel new again. Not the case!

The only advantage might be what the Dev's can do with it in reagrds to the newer Sense Roms.
[EVO 4G General] MrDrumngun:
Is that english? wtf?
[EVO 4G General] Justin.G11:
I believe people were hoping for a Sense update, as Sense 3.0 _would_ have made the EVO felt new. This didn't even get us to 2.3.4. Boo.

It does have a small benefit of a newer kernel which means possibly newer drivers for our aosp kernels (and maybe more stable GPS).

In San Antonio TX.

Had to turn off WiFi to get the update - seems to be downloading fine via 4G
[EVO 4G General] bluefire808:
But reql question is are you going to flash it after you download ot :o
[EVO 4G General] Justin.G11:

Flash official update over leaked Gingerbread Rom

Hi,

I'm running the leaked GB ROM from a few weeks ago that was posted here. My power button has nearly stopped working, and Sprint has said they will fix it for $35. I would like to revert back to stock for obvious reasons before handing over my phone.

I realize by flashing the official OTA that I will lose root...which I don't care about for now. I care that flashing the official OTA manually (I have already downloaded it) doesn't brick the phone.

Thanks..
[EVO 4G General] dm36415:
Actually, I have one rooted and one not rooted. So an accurate answer would be yes and no.

I am bummed though, that as many others have reported, this has broken my Netflix.

Can't wait for Netflix to be released for my ASUS Transformer (Honeycomb 3.1). It's as sweet a tablet as the EVO is as a phone.
[EVO 4G General] CrucialTK:
I flashed the OTA and I didn't lose root.
[EVO 4G General] bjb_nyj101:
yes, you did lose root.
[EVO 4G General] khov07:
Can anyone else confirm this? Accepting the OTA doesn't lose root? I've got a stock 2.2 rooted via Unrevoked, and I definitely don't want to lose root...
[EVO 4G General] dray_jr:
so i downloaded the OTA right from sprint/htc on my phone today and tried to install it and no matter what recovery i have i get a error (status 7) tried 100s of diffrent wipes.

I was going to install the ROm from this thread

http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1038701&page=1

but reading it people are having issues and i also read it is not the full package so can anyone verify that it is the full package or help me out with the OTA install.

Thanks

what error msg are you getting is it the status 7 like i am getting with the OTA
[EVO 4G General] Stuke00:
Hey I don't make the rules. But try and prove me wrong.
[EVO 4G General] ktulu05:
I actually do want to lose root...I want to revert the phone back before I bring it into Sprint.

Should I try to use the RUU method to revert to an older stock ROM, and then upgrade with the OTA before taking it in? That should work, right?
[EVO 4G General] drp1:
Why bother doing the OTA upgrade if all you want to do is turn it in? Just run the older RUU and be done with it.
[EVO 4G General] mithritades:
I uninstalled unrevoked and have s-on again,when I update,I get a screen with the android bot and an exclamation mark above it...is that normal?
[EVO 4G General] dray_jr:
ok so i just installed the odexoed version and i feel like i am running the same OTA7 rom that i have been using for the last month only change o see is telenav nothing else is diffrent really
[EVO 4G General] tempe38:
The exclaimation point, says that the signature verification failed.
[EVO 4G General] ktulu05:
You're right...I should just run the RUU, and upgrade/root after the repair.
[EVO 4G General] Pihrana:
Is their anyway of skipping an update? I never did update my EVO to System Upgrade 3.70.651.1 (58.11MB) before rooting, and so when I force check for an update I get the old one not the Gingerbread one...

I've tried installing the previous update (58.11MB), but I get the Little Android logo and Explanation mark (ie Failure).

I need to skip to the 109.21MB update..... Or will all upgrades fail when you have root?
[EVO 4G General] wbyrd:
This might be a dumb question but I need to ask it anyway. My girlfriend just bought an EVO last week, she ordered it on Sprint's website on Wednesday. I was surprised when she got it all activated to see that it appeared to be running GB. Were they shipping phones with GB before this release? Or should I have her go ahead and do the update?
[EVO 4G General] tempe38:
AHA! Switched to Amon Ra recovery, booted to recovery and made a new backup, booted up and the update loaded just fine. :D
[EVO 4G General] mithritades:
So how do I get my signature right?
[EVO 4G General] HurricaneDC:
Ok so now I'm on a stock ROM, unrooted, stock recovery, S-ON, but the stupid thing says there are no updates available for my phone. What the hell???

Pros & Cons of the GB Update

Pros:

GB under the hood features

Snappier boot up

New copy and paste/text selection

Neat native calling animation

Display battery has dropped from 87 to 65% over the day

Battery shows good time with 3G on all day.

Cons:

No GB keyboard

3G Icon is ugly

Post install required restart since task bar was stuck on right side

Took fifteen minutes to boot at first

!!! No cool sleep animation :-(

Scrolling through numbers to select month/date is no longer intuitive. Months keep going, date stops every fifteen.

No more data toggle after long press.

This update has me sincerely contemplating rooting my phone. I updated before 10am, have toyed around for most of today with the phone and still don't see a powerful selling point to this upgrade.

Hey Guys, I am a nooB to these forums and also flashing roms. I searched the forums for a thread on flashing a custom rom, but I was unable to find what I need. Can someone provide me a link on a thread regarding the steps to flash a rom on my evo? I want to flash a rooted version of the new stock gb that was released today. My phone is rooted with unrevoked3. I appreciate any help anyone can provide. Like I said I am new to this. Thank you for your help.
[EVO 4G General] christobal65:
I pulled it off that thread and had to boot into recovery and then wipe everything and then flash. It worked just fine. Make sure you do factory reset from recovery and wipe dalvik. After running CM7 for the last month in the first couple hours back on a rooted stock rom I'm extremely happy, the phone seems so much more stable and everything works without having to do tweeks. Yes netflix doesnt work but that is an app issue not a sprint/HTC issue.
[EVO 4G General] Rvinfinite:
Regretfully, I updated. I'm determined to root the instance some updates that dummy proof thread to include the latest update. :-) thanks for the heads up though!

Update: PROS:

Super fast boot time. We're talking the loading animation kicking in at less than two seconds, and boot time of close to ten seconds. Staggeringly quick time. Wow.

Screen battery is about < 60%.

Battery life with 4G is estimated at a several hours with my extended battery.

I gotta say: those under the hood improvements are amazing.

[EVO 4G General] nickb519:
I like the fast boot time as well, but yet it is only if you turn off the phone and then turn it on. If you pull the battery then it takes a bit to load. So I wonder what the fast boot does.

Being new to this and all, I was trying to keep up with madness yesterday. My Evo is rooted, I (obviously) didn't do the OTA update yesterday. Where will I find the ROM that was being worked on, and, as I understand it, was completed?

I'm hoping it's a stock ROM that just won't cause me to lose root now that I finally had the cajones to root!

Many thanks.

You've helped this noob out twice already, much appreciated. Now I just have to figure out what to do with it *groan. I'm starting to feel over my head a bit! All I wanted to do was to be able to save all my settings and days worth of tweaking the stock update (and get rid of the Sprint extras)!
[EVO 4G General] adma84:
it keeps the phone state in RAM, which requires some battery to keep the RAM alive. When you pull the battery, RAM loses everything.
[EVO 4G General] nickb519:
Yeah I did kind of figure that, my question is now (and all android stuff is new to me as I am a Windows guy) if there is a issue with software do we now have to pull the battery to clear it from memory or is just a shutdown restart going to do. Plus keeping it in ram how is that for battery life?
[EVO 4G General] SenorEvo:
I had my evo replaced and my new evo that I picked up this morning has the latest OTA installed. Any ideas?
[EVO 4G General] Product F(RED):
Nothing yet. Wait for the Unrevoked guys to work their magic, because the latest hboot isn't supported yet. Either that or pray that HTC helps us out.
[EVO 4G General] christobal65:
Battery usage will be next to nothing. I would suspect it would take weeks to drain the battery in that state.
[EVO 4G General] nickb519:
Cool that is good but the restarting issue is something I am courious about as well.
[EVO 4G General] LancerEVA06:
I'm not sure if this was answered or not... but is the HBOOT downgradeable back to 2.10 after the official GB update?
[EVO 4G General] christobal65:
yes to fully clear something out of memory you have to pull the battery or do a reboot. if you just shut it off and then restart the phone it will restore to its previous session status similar to how windows sleeps and restores.
[EVO 4G General] XsMagical:
Not that I'm aware of
[EVO 4G General] Rvinfinite:
Another CON for us extended battery touting folks:

Normally, to get as close to 100% charging of my battery as I can I would. To do that I would shut off my EVO after the LED turns greeb, unplug my charger and plug it back in.

GB, however, does not allow you to do that right after the update. I'm assuming turning off Fast Boot in the settings may remedy this issues but I haven't tried it yet.

Anyone else with extended batteries noticed that? I understand that may not be the best for your battery, but it helped me get up to 20 hours of usage out of my phone each day.

[EVO 4G General] christobal65:
Yeah loose the Task killer. I ran one for awhile on my EVO right when I got it and had issues with it causing sense to reboot. 2.2 and 2.3 manage memory FAR better than 2.1 did. So while a Task Killer may have been necessary at one time now they cause more harm than good.

So I have a rooted evo but haven't ever really messed around with the roms. It seems like its about time to. I see links to the new rooted stock rom, but are there any ginger bread roms up yet that look great and are fully operational with sense 3.0? sounds like I just want it all, but yea.

[EVO 4G General] ecaggiani:
I'm disappointed that the official Gingerbread update does not include Google Talk video chat since it's 2.3.3 rather than 2.3.4. So since I was already rooted I decided to take the plunge and finally install a custom 2.3.4 ROM with video chat. I found a great ROM called Evo-Deck which is a stock Google experience (no HTC Sense) built from AOSP source (Android Open Source Project).

http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1078558

It's built with the Evo in mind so it supports 4G and HDMI mirroring (haven't tested HDMI yet but they say it's supported). So far I love it since I now have essentially what comes on the Nexus S. It's easier to customize without Sense since you can easily change lockscreens, home launchers, etc.

If you are thinking of rooting and trying a custom ROM, I highly recommend Deck!

Update time:

My source says that the Samsung Within seems to be a go with a tentative date on the 24th of July. There is no keyboard and he says the phone is amazing. (I'm still getting EVO 3D, but I might 30 day it if I like the Within too much)

Samsung Epic and HTC EVO Shift Gingerbread, he said they are both slated for June 20th, but due to the delay of the EVO 3D they might be pushed back til July 11thish.

HTC EVO will be receiving a new MR update here very very shortly. Sprint has officially recognized the Netflix and phantom Voicemail problems and are working to fix them immediately. Wireless N is still up for grabs. My source doesn't work in the developer department so he doesn't know for sure what they are working on.

I should also say that the Nexus S 4G reception problems have been recognized and they are trying to get a MR out asap to fix that, and the Epic's 7 digit texting issue will be addressed in the next update.

EDIT: Sprint is looking to crush everyone. They will be launching the Torch 2 and the Bold 2 on 7/24 as well. The Motorola i1x will be launching the same day as the EVO 3D. There is an LG Optimus S Slider coming out, along with 2 new Kyocera Android devices. A lot of good stuff from Sprint coming.
