[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] Magnum_Enforcer:
Yes, but you can re-root your phone.
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] ombobop:
has anyone try to root the new firmware?
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] Captain_Throwback:
Not sure what you mean. There's already a stock rooted version of it, so the obvious answer is yes.
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] BOO5TED:
For a noob running a full non rooted stock LTE, what's the best way to back up data before running this update?
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] ombobop:
My friend gain the root acces only by flashing the super SU via fastboot, without unlocking the bootloader, only, his evo is S-off. Can i do the same thing while mine is s-on?
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] AarSyl:
Non Rooted? You can only copy the contents of the internal memory to your computer. That's it. Unlocking your bootloader will wipe the data regardless, so running the RUU really wouldn't make a difference to you in terms of data loss.

Activate the Developer Options by going to Settings, About, Software version, More, and tap on the Build Number.

Edit: It is also in my regular Display Settings, but I'm not sure if it shows because I activated the Dev Options.

Cant Run the RUU?

I'm on windows 8.1 and I opened the RUU and its on the InstallingShield Wizard once its done it goes away and nothing happened. :(

is there any other way to use the RUU? I dont have another Windows Machine.

This may sound silly.. but can I factory reset, at any point, after doing this update? Will it reset to the original (literally) or to 4.3? I saw the scary "You cannot return.." message and was curious what that means exactly? Ugh, I'm so new.. haha. Thanks in advance to anyone that can help me out!
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] BOO5TED:
If you update and then do a reset you will still be on 4.3. You can only go back once someone figures out a way to root the new version then you can flash a different rom.
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] scottspa74:
Actually the ruu version is .3 and captains ROM is .1. He says the best way to get the most complete update is to run the ruu.
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] lreyes:
Captains Rom is .3 (he updated it) and my post was before the .3 update ;)
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] adonwenas:
Yes. But capt said better to get ruu first. Because if u flash from his thread without ruu it same with dirty install.

Sent from JEWEL with Tapatalk Pro
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] lreyes:
We (the community because some other people were testing it) didn't think of doing the RUU because .1 wasn't publicly out. I just when with going with captains thread because it would save time and hassle.

Once .3 was out he said it's better to the RUU. And I also do agree doing the RUU. My post that was quoted saying don't do the RUU was for the .1 version.
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] markb629:
When you factory reset, it only wipes all user data off the phone and returns what ever android/sense version you're on to factory defaults. Once you update with the ruu you can not flash any other Rom not based on this update unless the dev has made it compatible. Old builds and Roms no longer being worked on will not work due to big changes in partitions. You can ruu back to 3.16 if you're S-off (and wanna flash older Roms) using viperruu (I have done it successfully and ruu'd back to this latest with the official.) everyone s-off while on old firmware then you'll be able to do ALMOST anything with your phone.
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] scottspa74:
Fair point. I hadn't thought of that when I posted.

[MENTION=4373407]adonwenas[/MENTION]

Thanks for seeing my point about RUU preference.
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] tommy_riley:
I'm noticing that when I loose data connection, I get a notification message that I have lost data connection - if I click on the notification text, I get a message that my settings have unexpectedly quit. Today, I was in a dead zone for data, and it kinda hosed my phone for a while, I had to reboot three times to get data back - but I think there is a problem with this official release and a few bugs that should have still been worked out prior to final release.

I'm also kind of miffed that the roaming seems to be basically completely gone - isn't that part of my contract? No extra charge for off-carrier roaming, within reason? I have one of the older plans that doesn't say anything about the limitations on roaming that the new plans refer too on sprint.
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] jbhtexas:
That's the question...was this just a mistake/oversight by HTC, or was it intentionally done by HTC or by request from Sprint. I've posted the question in the Sprint Community forum in the thread about this update, but no Sprint Techs have jumped on the answer. They may not know, since this update is coming directly from HTC. Still hoping that someone from HTC will comment or leak something about this...
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] litlepyro:
I may or may not be the only one that thinks this, but I think they are still working on this update. Maybe that is optimism. There is a fix for the data roaming issue for rooted users, see Captains thread, 1st 3 posts. I am having issues with my bluetooth headset and google search as well. I havent seen anyone else report that but I still think that there are bugs being worked out. I believe they were just tired of handing us empty promises and gave us what they currently had. I guess if they change the status on the HTC website I would feel differently.
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] jbhtexas:
You could be right. It might explain why there is nothing about this update on the main HTC site, no kernel posted on the HTC developer site, and nothing official from Sprint. The post below last Friday from another website indicates that another RUU is being worked on. I've not found any newer information. Take it for what it's worth...

I can report that my BT headphones DO work properly for me, though I admit I never tested them on the stock RUU install, only the rooted ROMs.
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] litlepyro:
My headphones work fine too, until I try to make a call from them. Then google search force closes. I can listen to music all day long, just not place calls.
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] SilverZero:
I'll test when I get home tonight.
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] litlepyro:
Thanks. It sometimes work if the phone is on and the screen is unlocked. However, it pretty much never works when the screen is locked and off. To be clear, Im not using a password or any other lock method other than just swiping the screen.
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] SilverZero:
So I connected my BT headphones and made a call. I even did it via voice commands. It went to an answering machine so I can't confirm the other party hearing until I hear back, but everything seemed normal to me.

Anyone else have a a problem with syncing to google? I've updated twice and can no longer sync to my google account :confused:

No. What kind of problem are you having? Is it a certain option that isn't syncing or all of them? Everything was syncing right for me.
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] Morphixs:
I guess more specifically the internet, gmail and contacts wont sync. After i log into my gmail account i get an error that my phone cant connect to google.
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] RayTrue04:
I definitely didn't have that issue or saw anyone else mention it. Well it does say it's experiencing problems and will be back shortly. Try again later and maybe perform a factory reset if you still having the issue.
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] joshuaw84:
Just a basic thing, did you check what date your phone thinks it is? Google doesn't connect if your phone is in the future... This happens to me on my tablet sometime never had it on my phone though.

[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] lordkaladar:
I found out (in my case at least) that 2-factor authentication was causing the SYNC issues. I realized it wasn't just the 4.3 update after I'd restored back to an earlier RUU.

Basically, if Sync is not working after you flash AND you use 2-factor authentication, turning it off will allow Sync to work. I will see if it will behave after turning it back on after. There may have been a solution that didn't requite turning it off, but I kinda needed my phone working before I went to bed/work tomorrow.
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] Luna_Sky:
Ugh I am losing it over here! I am experiencing random, annoying, sometimes very frequent app crashes. First, it was Timely along with some random games I would try to play, and now it has moved to UCCW and others.. Some happen right after I unlock the phone. Am I really the only one experiencing these problems? Is there any way I can go back to the old version? Maybe I should consider a custom ROM, but that is entirely new to me.. haha. I love Sense 5 and the new features that were made available with the Android update, but this is driving me crazy.
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] detcup4evr:
I would try running the ruu again, don't do any mods or restore any apps, see if phone works, then slowly reinstall your apps/ mods , be careful if using titanium backup u only want user apps to be backed up / restored
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] ahecht:
I got an update from Mo that the RUU was pulled because of the roaming data issue (looks like it wasn't intentional after all). Once it's fixed they'll post more info.
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] RayTrue04:
I just hope the next ruu won't require a factory reset as I already set up the phone with my sisters info and handed it back. After having that piece that deals with 4g/3G break off and having to find a electronic repairer who specializes in soldering I don't even want to touch the phone anymore! Guess she stays with no roaming lol
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] jbhtexas:
Very interesting update from HTC. The fix for the roaming issue has been posted over in the ROM development thread for awhile now, so it shouldn't take HTC to long to alleviate that problem.

If you like a good conspiracy theory...the roaming data bug could have still been "intentional". It provided a convenient excuse to pull back the RUU after some wide scale use revealed any further problems or undesireable characteristics in the ROM. In other words, don't be surprised if the ability to gain S-OFF is also "fixed" in the next RUU...

I installed this on my stock device, so I can't say if it effects S-off. I don't want to put it on my rooted/S-off device just yet. I haven't been able to test roaming yet as I'm home and on WiFi.

[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] Magnum_Enforcer:
None of the previous RUU's have affected being S-off if the device is already S-off. Worse-case scenario is you end up with a re-locked bootloader and have to use HTC Dev to unlock it again.

Serious Battery Drain

Do you know of anything else to try to deal with battery drain? Right now my phone is sitting at 58% and it hasn't been off the charger for 2 hours. It's insane how fast my battery is draining. I've tried a factory reset and turning off the Wi-Fi scan. I'm not sure what to do, and I have searched everywhere and still haven't found the issue. Thanks in advance for any help.
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] tommy_riley:
Location Reporting and tracking in Google Location services - turn those to off, especially if you are on the go and don't need them all the time.

Turn off automatic screen brightness and set it to a low level that is comfortable for you, and only turn it up when in sunlight (as needed).

Once I did just these two things along with the Wi-Fi scanning thing, My battery life jumped up to almost 32 hours on semi-lite use - about 18 hours on moderate use.
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] neoshi:
Wait, so our 4.3 has battery drainage issues just like the S3 4.3 update? Greaaaat... I always leave loc servs and wifi on so that people can stalk me and the home wifi auto connects upon entry of home.
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] RayTrue04:
No. Battery was about the same or even better for me on 4.3 and I've read of similar reports from others. Just a matter of letting the rom settle in or find what's killing your battery if there's a faulty app or a setting you have enabled like Google location services and Wi-Fi always scanning for example.
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] neoshi:
Hmm, but I always leave those two settings on because 1) my friends stalk me and 2) i like my phone to switch to wifi automatically when i come home without touching it. so far stock evo lasts at least 8 hrs that way. hope 4.3 does too.
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] RayTrue04:
I'm not talking about connection optimizer, I'm talking about the new feature on 4.3 that even when Wi-Fi is off its actually still on looking for your location. I keep connection optimizer on too so it turn on Wi-Fi automatically. Different settings..
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] neoshi:
Oh I'm not using connection optimizer. But I'll keep watch of my battery due to that stuff.
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] sgt. slaughter:
Even on the .1 release battery for me with everything flipped ON is vastly improved no random drain at all here... Not sure why the others are having drain as if comparing stock to stock the update is way better in battery life area...

I agree. Plus, it now has an actual sleep mode. And believe me, this phone sleeps.

[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] rodohmes:
I believe you need to install SuperSU. Read up on some of the other stock 4.3 threads. Early on we had to flash the SuperSU zip after the ROM, found here: http://download.chainfire.eu/396/SuperSU/UPDATE-SuperSU-v1.94.zip

You will need the TWRP recovery found there as well. No other TWRP will work. That's probably why you can't get superuser to flash.
