Kpoz

Did you installed the update?

If you did are u still rooted?

If not can you still re-root?

Thx for. The info.

sent from my HTC EVO
[EVO 4G General] hypn0toad:
so this breaks runrevoked. should i remove unrevoked before updating? or is that unneeded.

if i should remove unrevoked, how do i do that? just uninstall the unrevoked application then reboot? or is there anything else to it?
[EVO 4G General] tokuzumi:
I'm noticing that too. I use Launcher Pro, but would have been nice to leave the option to turn off the Sense UI launcher.

It also broke my market downloaded widgets, such as Fancy Widget, Gmail Unread Count, Smooth Calendar, LED Light, and SwitchPro Widget. I just had to delete them off the screen, and re-add, but was mildly annoying.
[EVO 4G General] brianfreytag:
I have the same issue.

It downloads, prompts to install. Click "Install."

Reboots HTC EVO 4G screen shows up, shows the box icon (as you see when you backup or restore a ROM).

After about a quarter of the way through it, it crashes with the exclamation mark.

BTW: This is with the Clockwork Mod Recovery v1.8.2.2

I'll let you know if I can resolve this.
[EVO 4G General] helpwithmy8525:
Okay, for some strange reason, my keyboard just fixed itself!! I didn't reboot, or change any setting. Hmmm...yay!! I was seriously about to cry, LOL. By the way, I'm running stock ROM, stock keyboard, no root.
[EVO 4G General] defjeff:
just did the update as well. Not liking the fact I am unable to force stop the HTC sense UI and run the normal 2.1. already regretting this update.
[EVO 4G General] healthpellets:
maybe you already saw this, but here's the update zip from PPC.

[EVO 4G General] touch_rules:
I am rooted using the toast method and am also using clockwork recovery and get the same thing. I pulled the battery and my phone booted back up like normal but with no update.

I flashed a different recovery (aman-ra I think it's called) and then restored my rooted stock rom nandroid backup and tried again.

I then kept getting stuck at the recovery screen and again, no update.

I put clockwork recovery back on, restored my latest nandroid backup and am now waiting to see if anyone can fix this or incorporate this update in to a new rom.

I am currently running OMJ's custom rom.
[EVO 4G General] healthpellets:
so they took away the launcher? that's just dumb. go get launcher pro.
[EVO 4G General] kpoz:
I'm in the city of Chicago, and reception can vary greatly, so I'm hoping this update helps. Previous posts say that the update makes 4G snappier and lock on more quickly.

As an aside, my parents live in the suburbs in an area where there is supposed to be 4G, but I can't get any up there.
[EVO 4G General] kpoz:
I am the wrong person to ask. I am also rooted, but I took the above information from this thread: http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=712576
[EVO 4G General] Status Flow:
So is this confirmed to work with Launcher Pro?
[EVO 4G General] kcasante:
Yeah; My EVO says that same thing. It now has me connected to my Router at 65Mbps

Update help

I have a rooted Evo. Downloaded the update just fine. When I go to install it starts, then stops with the screen with the red question mark, then reboots and the phone is fine, except no update.

Anyone have any thoughts?
[EVO 4G General] SMARTPHONEPC:
Did you ever have Wi-Fi reception issues before the update?
[EVO 4G General] asenduk:
ADW launcher working fine
[EVO 4G General] brianfreytag:
So here's what my problem is:

After I rooted, I got rid of a bunch of the stock software. This update is checking for some of that stock software:

I pushed the update to my SD Card and ran an install from zip file and get the following error:

Verifying current system:

assert failed: apply_patch_check("/system/app/Flickr.apk", "......")

E: Error in /sdcard/OTA_Supersonic....2.641.6_release.zip

(Status 7)

Installation aborted

Apparently it is searching for those files that I removed.

I'm going to see if I can edit the patch to stop looking for those.
[EVO 4G General] techs1200:
after installing the update it appears I can do the unrevoked hack.

however, the wifi tether app I have that requires root does NOT work!
[EVO 4G General] ajd6c8:
The update is probably conflicting with your rooted configuration. Revert to stock and then try the update.
[EVO 4G General] SMARTPHONEPC:
Other people having problems turning HTC sense off?:eek:..cause that would definitely suck to remove that ability for users in 2.1 & upcoming official 2.2 :cool:
[EVO 4G General] dss999:
how to revert to stock

Since I am new to this can you remind how to revert to stock?
[EVO 4G General] kellte2:
Any fix to this? I miss some of those...
[EVO 4G General] ajd6c8:
That's pretty irritating that the update fails outright just b/c it can't find some non-essential apk's.

Anyway, I'm eagerly awaiting the brain trust here to release a repackaged update that contains only the core changes and doesn't kill unrevoked & wifi tether! Cup o' coffee!
[EVO 4G General] healthpellets:
i'm really confused as to why the update would remove a wallpaper gallery. just doesn't make any sense.
[EVO 4G General] mike.r.olson:
Any chance we might be able to get the radio update in a zip file anytime soon? :)
[EVO 4G General] jerryparid:
Run RUU, update twice, brick phone, get replacement?

lol Sprint
[EVO 4G General] redrazr7791:
Nope it doesn't. I happened to like some of them :(

Just checked...they are not there!
[EVO 4G General] jerryparid:
According to Engadget, the wallpapers were merged with the HTC Wallpapers.
[EVO 4G General] lawlskobe:
just did the update, now i can't start up the wifi.......fuuuuuuuuuu....
[EVO 4G General] oskinosmee:
Updated, rooted still with rom. Took 10mins, no issues
[EVO 4G General] parousia15:
It looks like that Qik for Evo (blue icon) and a new version of Quick office get installed if you didn't take the initiative to do it yourself.

I can now get a wifi signal in the basement of the hospital in which I work.

UPDATE: Shootme no longer works on unrooted phones. I know the app says you need to be root, but it use to work anyway.

UPDATE 2: I noticed that my battery was being drained. The update changes google talks settings back to default and keeps apearing in the services. You have open up the app and uncheck auto sign in and then kill it in the services and it should stay.

UPDATE 3: It now appears that google talk keeps being activated in services regardless of what I do.
[EVO 4G General] qu1nn:
No problems with my keyboard,

I never rooted, but the application SHOOTME is now not working, asking for ROOT permissions. Anyone else see this?

[EVO 4G General] mrono:
So does my fresh .3 :(
[EVO 4G General] MinimalistChris:
That's a negative... :confused:

I liked the Android Wallpapers... perhaps somebody had them saved?
[EVO 4G General] tempe38:
Yeah, weird, the Android wallpapers seem to be gone from mine too but I'm actually using one of them and it's still on my screen. Just not in the wallpaper gallery.
[EVO 4G General] sgt. slaughter:
I would like to know what the hell is causing GTalk to continue to restart itself in the background even after manually killing it in the running services screen.

I dont have it set to sign on automatically, and im not rooted, nor use a task killer if it makes a difference. Before i would kill it once and it wouldn't come back ever. Now it comes back up on its own after 3-5min it seems.
[EVO 4G General] martijua:
And after doing a bit of testing on my way to lunch I found that I was able to get the fastest 4G speeds that I ever have. WiFi seems to be about the same for me but I never had any problems or complaints about WiFi at home.
[EVO 4G General] martijua:
Yep...it stopped working for me too. That sucks....I liked that app.
[EVO 4G General] Pops_G:
Can more people check the input lag? I have seen 1 person say it was fixed and one that said it was not fixed.
[EVO 4G General] DINLONG:
I am still showing no updates available. I am rooted on the stock ROM. Anyone else still not seeing the update? I have unchecked scheduled checks.
[EVO 4G General] techs1200:
Still have lag here, about half a second :mad:
[EVO 4G General] Plancy:
Same, doesn't seem like it changed.
[EVO 4G General] tformed:
Okay, so I had done the Unrevoked root method prior to updating. My phone is up to date, but as mentioned by other users..root access doesn't work.

I was reading up on enabling root through Toast's method, and read that if I do it that way I can't do RUU Sprint update. Does this mean I won't be able to do any Sprint updates w/o having the risk of losing root access forever?

I haven't tried yet, but can't I just run unrevoked again, and regain root access?
[EVO 4G General] qu1nn:
what is the best method for testing?

qu1nn
[EVO 4G General] siwelk:
Still no update available for me. Rooted stock rom, unchecked also.
[EVO 4G General] techs1200:
go into system settings and scroll up and down. the display lags behind the movement of your finger.
[EVO 4G General] willy900wonka:
Unrevoked has said they will have a solution:
[EVO 4G General] mrono:
use the multitouch vis and move your finger around really quick, it becomes obvious very quick.
[EVO 4G General] mrjeancw:
i know the thing with unrevoked was that it rooted your phone on startup when you ran the program (hence the new updated unrevoked always rooted it on start upvia a fix). all you do is uninstall unrevoked and restart ur phone and voila ur not rooted anymore...

but i want to know if i need to uninstall unrevoked as well before udpating the pyhone.
[EVO 4G General] edlow600:
I wish I didnt update my phone, it was doing fine w/o it. Now my unreovked is blocked.:(
[EVO 4G General] imex99:
I'm not getting the update, can I flash this or how can I apply the update?

Can someone assist me with this... I'm in Ohio.
[EVO 4G General] mrjeancw:
i dont mind because im sure that they will have another unrevoked out soon that roots the phone. the only thing i was using my phone rooted was for wifi, but that was horrible. my 360 got a crappy signal with the phone right next to the wireless adapter, and my ipod touch never saw my wifi signal from my evo....
[EVO 4G General] edlow600:
Are they updating unrevoked or any other fully root procedure to bypass this update.
[EVO 4G General] edlow600:
thanx mrjeancw
[EVO 4G General] mrono:
I don't see why not, only problem is that they have day jobs so it won't be out till tonight. PATIENCE PEOPLE lol
[EVO 4G General] ajd6c8:
What thread are you quoting those unrevoked blurbs from? I want to watch it as I'll be waiting for the patched OTA.
[EVO 4G General] dukins:
With the everyone saying that it broke unrEVOked, I guess its safe to say I wont be updating until unrEVOked updates the root. Wireless tethering is to important to me. I hope get a fix ASAP.
[EVO 4G General] tedruggiero:
that is from their twitter page

[EVO 4G General] rutter9:
reboot your phone then check for htc updates
[EVO 4G General] mrjeancw:
for???

i mean, did i do something lol
[EVO 4G General] mrjeancw:
how good was your wireless tethering???

when i use it with my xbox 360 i get crappy signal due to the bars jumping from 1-4 and back down, it was never consistent so watching netflix was hell....also my ipod touch would never find my wifi but one thing that was weird was that whenever somethin connected to my wifi it would always find it as ad-hoc...i thought with the infrastructure it wasnt suppose to be read as ad-hoc anymore?
[EVO 4G General] imex99:
rebooted, battery pull & nothing... Could it be the rom i'm on?

I'm running:

RvU 1.3.1

Software # 1.32.651.6

PRL 60667

Does anyone have link to stock rom, so I can revert back?
[EVO 4G General] ajd6c8:
Thanks, just started following them to keep up to date.
[EVO 4G General] mrono:
I get great speeds with wifi tether, and yes it is infrastructure w/WPA2
[EVO 4G General] ajd6c8:
I use it as ad-hoc with various devices and it's great. It's not fast like DSL or Cable and it can "hang" every now and then depending on the quality of my phone's 3G connection (no 4G for me yet) but it's works and that's what matters.
[EVO 4G General] mrjeancw:
can you tell me exactly what you did to get good speedsand infrastructure instead of ad-hoc? my laptop and xbox 360 see it as adhoc...and generally what you use the wifi tether with? (laptop, comp, video game system, ipod)
[EVO 4G General] mrjeancw:
is there a way to change it from ad-hoc to infrastructure or something? maybe this is why it does not work on my ipod!
[EVO 4G General] mrono:
used wpa2 encryption, access control, connected to my laptop and speed tests were getting 2-2.5 and higher. oh, and on 3G, no 4G here yet.
[EVO 4G General] mrjeancw:
see i just dont get it. i updated to 2.0.5, using encription my ipod sees teh connection once i put key and it says it cannot connect, i take the encription off and my ipod sees it once and then says cant connect. after which it doesnt see the connection again until i reset the networking tab....im so fed up with this. im wondering if when unrevoked is fixed to work with the update, if it will increase the wifi tethering capabilities of the evo...im seriously considering bringing it back and going back to TP2...
[EVO 4G General] Childofthehorn:
Yeah, I was rooted using ToastCH Method and Mine still works!

I backed up using nandroid and Clockwork, both of which were still operational after flash

Will let you know about 4G speeds and any potential improvements when I get back home from work.

As far as those who use wireless tether, iPhones and iPods should see it just fine (people at work sometimes jump onto my 4G connection at lunch). The speed in the Chicago suburbs is very good, better than Comcast is in those areas. My Comcast gets 3-4 Mbps MAX and a 30ms ping. Whereas my 4G (using original radio) gets a consistent 60ms ping and a 4.5-6.5 Mbps connection. I play FPS on occasion and works just fine.

No matter what, the 4G is faster by me because of the peakiness (not just internet data on the lines) and modulation of the Comcast stuff out here. The 4G is also more reliable and has not gone out on me yet whereas Comcast has had a few system outages. So Comcast is no longer getting my money and same goes for ATT. Netflix + Sprint + CLEAR = FTW!
[EVO 4G General] edlow600:
if I root it using toast method will it work around the update or not?
[EVO 4G General] tokuzumi:
Is anyone having download speed issues after the update? Where I live/work, I normally get 1.1-1.5 mb/s bandwidth scores via SpeedTest.net. I'm still getting close to those scores, but downloading web pages is much slower on 3G than it used to be. Primarly through Dolphin HD, but also through the Facebook app, and other things that access data.
[EVO 4G General] imex99:
wtf, i even went back to stock evo and no htc update... someone please help.
[EVO 4G General] PLESTIUC:
stating the obvious I know, but did you go to "MENU - SETTINGS - SYSTEM UPDATES - HTC Software Update" ?
[EVO 4G General] ckimble79:
I haven't had a chance to root my Evo yet.. Broke the first one and just got the new one in the mail last week. Been to busy to get to it. Just ran the update though. Took about 5 minutes to run through the whole process. Seems to be a little less laggy so far. Didn't lose any of my widgets like some did. Although Swype seems to be acting a little off.

I'm gonna try to root tonight or tomorrow with toasts method if I have time.

(First post yay!!!!)

I may have been a bit hasty in my post... Seems that since "Updated successfully" I've rebooted 3 times.

I know a couple of you have posted that the update did not mess anything up using Toast's Root. Anyone else can confirm this?

Ive uninstalled a bunch of the Sprint Apps and a few others. Earlier in this post some stated that the update was giving errors because it was looking for some of these apps. Thank you for a quick reply.
[EVO 4G General] jblazea50:
quick question, if i'm on stock unrooted rom and i do the update; will i be able to root the phone after the update using Toast's method to get full nandroid unlock?

List of fixes

Sprint has recently reported the list of fixes that were provided by this fix:

http://community.sprint.com/baw/thread/35802?featured=true

To EVO customers:

An OTA, over-the-air maintenance release, software version 1.47.651.1, has been released!! You will either receive a notification on the device that an update is available, or you can check for the updated version by going to Settings > System Updates > HTC software update.

HTC EVO 4G Software version 1.47.651.1

Update includes:

* Improvements to Wi-Fi performance

* Exchange Active Sync improvements, including fix to issues with new account setup, PIN policy usage and Exchange Calendar 2010 Sync

* Addresses Facebook sync issue which can improve battery performance

Download Timing:

* Customers will be notified that an update is available. The download will take a couple minutes (depending on the device connection) and the install will take a couple minutes which includes an automatic power cycle. Download will take a couple minutes if in 3g coverage.

* HTC servers will push the OTA update on a daily basis.

* FOTA server will check for old software version and prompt once a day on units without the latest firmware until customer accepts.

WARNING - Rooted Devices:

* Most likely rooted devices will not accept or even receive the update which is expected and why roots void warranty.

Interesting that Sprint would even mention rooting in a general customer announcement. Generally they won't even acknowledge that such practices exist.

Not sure where you see that...the URL is community.sprint.com and the poster was Sprint Admin.
[EVO 4G General] tedruggiero:
dude who posted it edited the message, he is a sprint admin, but sort of on the down low...

Most likely rooted devices will not accept or even receive the update which is expected and why roots void warranty.

i am sure sprint wouldnt acknowledge rooting!!

question for me is this update worth losing wifi tether for??? i think i can wait after reading the threads...i really like that feature of my root...
[EVO 4G General] morjeff:
unable to disable sense after update!!

Anyone know how to do this ?
[EVO 4G General] EtherealRemnant:
Worked fine for me... Install a custom launcher first, then go to applications/htc sense... clear data, force close... home... choose new launcher.
[EVO 4G General] TurboX2:
:( i want unrEVOked to work again...
[EVO 4G General] khov07:
OK, just updated my stock (unrooted) EVO.

REPORT:

-Process took almost exactly ten minutes. I have full bars at my desk, thanks to a Sprint-installed BDA in my building. DL took five minutes.

-Total of 4 reboots, which were a bit nerve-racking.

-When I got to my home screen after final reboot, I had an error in my notification area that reported an error synching data with my Exchange server, but the error cleared after about a minute.

-Voicemail widget was replaced by "Problemloadinggadget". Removed, re-added, without issue.

-No wifi around my desk, so I will check later to see if signal strength has improved with WiFi Analyzer.

Will post any other pertinent info later.
[EVO 4G General] stevodadevo:
Still no update here. It's 3:15pm and I'm in Southern California.

From user: rem_kujawa of android central....

HTC, I have a new replacement coming tomorrow for dust under the screen, I updated this afternoon. Then I got home and a new update was offered. So I installed it and now its a brick. So I emailed back HTC and he replied right away and said there are problems with it, and said they were going to hold it.

I just sent texts to four people around central, oh that have the EVO and none have received the update...
[EVO 4G General] bds369:
No update yet

I'm rooted but have still been looking for the update. Not appearing for me yet. I'm in Wisconsin. Seeing a lot of posts of people who upgraded that were rooted (still running stock rom, which I am) so I think I might try it when available. What do you guys think?:confused:
[EVO 4G General] xloader:
the people that were using unrevoked was it the first one out or unrevoked2 that stoped work on your phone?
[EVO 4G General] weezer562:
So my update went fine.

Still seem to have lag issue from trying it in Setting menu.

Wallpapers gone never used them so no big deal for me

Shootme did stop working however

Otherwise working fine.
[EVO 4G General] myn:
This morning when I checked for updates it told me there was a new update. It did the same on my wife's phone as well.

Tonight when I was going to update (5 mins ago), I checked again and this time it said my phone was up to date. Checked on the wife's too and she got the same response that it was up to date.

Did sprint pull this update from their servers?
[EVO 4G General] PLESTIUC:
hm, now that you mention it I just checked on mine and got the same thing. interesting.. they will probably put it out again when they fix the bug that bricked all these EVOs

How do you install a custom launcher.
[EVO 4G General] tokuzumi:
Search for Launcher in the market, find the one you want, and install it.

After installing, hit home, menu, settings, Applications, Manage Applications. Scroll down to HTC Sense UI, click on it, click the "Clear Defaults" button, and hit home. You will be given a menu of what launcher you want to use. You will see Sense UI, and whatever launcher you installed from the market. If you want to make the new launcher the default, check the Default checkbox, and then select your launcher.
[EVO 4G General] PLESTIUC:
the update is back. any takers? :)

hopefully unrevoked comes out with something tonight
[EVO 4G General] stevodadevo:
