I think some people can't see the update because of the custom Rom.... some cooks disable FOTA in the pst... you can go to QPST an reenable it... if you don't know what those things are... um, ppcgeeks is the site for you :)
[EVO 4G General] Geosama:
I am using the unrevoked root method and apparently this OTA breaks my root and wireless tethering...
[EVO 4G General] MikeOD:
I've rooted mine with Toasts method, and the phone will download the update try to install it, fail, and reboot the way it previously was...no harm no foul I guess...just gotta wait for someone to figure out a way to apply the updates to rooted phones.
[EVO 4G General] natefuhr:
There is a discussion over at PPCG as well... sorry for no link...

I can confirm the new update breaks unrEVOked root...
[EVO 4G General] mrono:
it's because unrevoked didn't really root anything, it just exploited a flaw in the system which was patched
[EVO 4G General] Mecha2142:
Just contributing something of my own here. While the screen is now perfectly responsive on a flat surface, the the touch sensor lag is still as bad as ever with this new update installed, or at least it is on my device. Damn, I was so excited to be getting rid of that issue too.
[EVO 4G General] mrono:
The touch input lag isn't as big for me as the grounding problem, but I want to know how the hell they fixed it with software.
[EVO 4G General] pecosROB:
So if I had unrEVOked and apply the OTA, it blocks the access that allows for wifi tethering? That's the only feature I really care about.

Their twitter (@unrevoked) seems to indicate they'll have something out tonight. If that's the case, I'd rather just update my phone and re-run the unrEVOked .apk.

Does anyone see any potential issues to this?
[EVO 4G General] natefuhr:
Agreed... glad to see they are jumping right on it... I prefer the unrEVOked exploit at the moment over full root but its just because I am Android noob and haven't had time to really look into full root....

I know its one-click easy now but I want to learn all ways for the knowledge before I start hacking...

And... until froyo is fully working I see no immediate need since I am still playing with Android for the first time and learning the lay of the land
[EVO 4G General] pecosROB:
I agree with you, I'm an Android Noob myself, and it has all the apps and features I need it to do except for free wi-fi tethering. I'm running the OTA right now and almost done. All the other benefits are more important right now than free wi-fi tether.

This screen is so huge I almost don't need a laptop... at least definitely not a laptop to get online wherever I need to be right now. Maybe later when traveling, but not anytime soon.
[EVO 4G General] hancod:
Has anyone else noticed that using their phones with powered speakers, like an aux in your car, is now working. HTC replied to an email I sent that the new update should have fixed the issue. I just confirmed by listening in the car for about 15 minutes... SWEET!

Of course, I just spent $15 at Radio Shack for the mic cable...
[EVO 4G General] donatom3:
www.monoprice.com If I ever see you paying more than $10 on a cable again I reserve the right to smack you after giving you that site. That cable should of cost you no more than $3 from monoprice. Of course you would have had to pay shipping, but there are other cables you could have bought and saved on shipping.

:p
[EVO 4G General] hancod:
Thanks. You earned your right to smack me... ;)

I guess it had something to do with my impatience with not being able to listen to the music on my phone when driving. Anyone want to buy a barely used 3.5" mic cable?? $14?? :)
[EVO 4G General] donatom3:
Well I'm going to make the assumption that the cable is less than 30 days old and you can still return it to RS.
[EVO 4G General] marctronixx:
for car use, i had a cheap cable that came with a sound card that worked flawless for me. i stream pandroa all the time with this cable. i also used it on the hero.

curious, what issues were you having bu not getting audio to your cars system?
[EVO 4G General] Plancy:
Mine has always worked Aux, weird.
[EVO 4G General] hancod:
When listening through any amplified speakers, be it car speakers or desktop speakers, it would act fine for a while recognizing them as headphones. It would then wig out thinking it was a headset, with mic, and pop up the voice input and start skipping songs and shuffling through them. It's something I was able to find a number of other Evo owners had issues with.

Thank you joeykrim for the following:

RADIO - the radio is updated through a radio.diff.

SYSTEM - no system/app files are changed

it appears this OTA is much more extensive than the previous OTA.

this one appears to apply small patches to every application in /system/app. a few are large in size, but most are very small.

it also appears to patch:

16 files in system/bin

etc/wimax/

etc/firmware/fw_bcm4329.bin and (ap)

31 files in framework

28 files in lib

2 files in lib/modules - bcm4329.ko and sequans_sdio.ko

SYSTEM updated files (might be more, researching now):

wifi module - BCM4329B1_002.002.023.0396.0402.hcd

android.hardware.camera.flash-autofocus.xml

android.hardware.telephony.cdma.xml

ton of framework files

libCamera_donut.so

libCamera_eclair.so

Fixes & Bugs:

From user npace: (I extracted and fastboot flashed the kernel zImage. Here's a rundown of the issues that I tested for fixes:)

1. Touch input lag -- fixed -- tried with multitouch visualizer 2

2. Improperly grounded touchscreen -- fixed -- tried on multiple surfaces

3. 30 fps cap -- still there
[EVO 4G Android Development] tatnai:
same radio by your title?
[EVO 4G Android Development] huoter:
Appears to be. I am waiting for it to finish downloading and I will attempt to upload.

This thread will probably be moved / deleted but I was just letting everyone know. Personally I am going to wait to hear from the Dev's on this download before even touching it.
[EVO 4G Android Development] danon.brown:
is this breaking root access.. some unrevoked users via face book saying unrevoked is no longer working.. i guess they should have went all out and did the full root
[EVO 4G Android Development] swaze:
Even if you rooted via toasts method, i would not update until a custom ROM is put out with the update included. You could lose root ability forever.
[EVO 4G Android Development] huoter:
Anyone know the location of system updates are stored on the phone? I am trying to locate using the adb shell but have had no luck finding the download yet.
[EVO 4G Android Development] joeykrim:
can you post this OTA .zip?
[EVO 4G Android Development] huoter:
Its done downloading, just trying to find the darn file right now. Any ideas?
[EVO 4G Android Development] Neotelos_com:
Awaiting an update zip :)
[EVO 4G Android Development] Calkulin:
Here's the untouched update zip for those that want it. If you want to put it in the OP, feel free to

OTA_Supersonic_1.47.651.1-1.32.651.6_releaseq2wpcb5jl7uowah9.zip
[EVO 4G Android Development] joeykrim:
i didn't look into the last one and this is my first HTC phone so im not familiar with their OTA process.

perhaps try /cache? or any type of temp directory on /data or /sdcard?

we know it won't be on /system.
[EVO 4G Android Development] herzzreh:
We install this from recovery, right?
[EVO 4G Android Development] Shidell:
Don't install anything until some devs have had a look around--they'll make a package to flash when it's safe.
[EVO 4G Android Development] frankenstein\:
I'd recommend not installing it at all until the devs here have had a chance to go through it and release it themselves. You risk loosing your root if you don't. Then follow their release instructions to apply it.
[EVO 4G Android Development] donatom3:
Btw the radio is 2.05.00.06.10 with this update.
[EVO 4G Android Development] herzzreh:
I don't care if I lose root. I assume this update doesn't reinstall Sprint junk, so I'm good to go. That was the only reason why I wanted root access...
[EVO 4G Android Development] joeykrim:
if you've applied this, can you take a screenshot of the about phone -> software versions or manually type all the info up on here?

im wondering about the PRI ...
[EVO 4G Android Development] skunkiechris:
No, looks like just about all the preloaded APK's are in there, including the Sprint crap. I assume if you apply it as stock you'll get them back, but I could be wrong.
[EVO 4G Android Development] frankenstein\:
The official froyo release from HTC / Sprint will definitely contain all the "Sprint Junk" and if you've given up root to one of these updates and go to apply that it will all come back. You may never get root again in order to re - clean it up once you apply froyo.

Be patient. It won't take the devs here long to cook up an update for us. Flipz had the rooted .6 update rom out in 24 hours or so...

.....

Just took a look inside the zip file. All the apk files are there, including the sprint junk...
[EVO 4G Android Development] rockky:
Just installed....all is well with root...
[EVO 4G Android Development] herzzreh:
Froyo? Who is talking about froyo?! It won't be out for a while...

You Can but I am assuming that if you do, you will lose ROOT.. I am waiting for a DEV to post an update.zip that has all the goodies of the OTA update without losing ROOT
[EVO 4G Android Development] scriptx:
Having looked at the extracted contents of this update, boot.img, recovery.img and wimax_25641R01.img are all offered to flash over the existing. There are also several filesystem patches, including a patch for dnsmasq, which may break the wifi tethering.
[EVO 4G Android Development] scriptx:
By which method did you root your device? toastcfh's steps 1 & 2?
[EVO 4G Android Development] frankenstein\:
I didn't say it was froyo. I said if you loose your root access now, and if this update doesn't contain the sprint bloat, that when froyo is released you would definitely get the sprint crap back in that update and may not be able to clean it out again.
[EVO 4G Android Development] joeykrim:
analysis of update.zip files

in addition to all the files going into /system which patch up some bugs.

there is a firmware.zip file shipped inside of this OTA .zip. it contains three images, boot.img (kernel and ramdisk), recovery.img and wimax.img

comparing these three .img files to the ruu-6 version of the files, seems these three have changed?

my gambling guess, after a quick glance thru the files, i dont think the type of root access toast posted with the userdebug and eng build RUU will be effected by this update. but once again, its only my gambling guess!

btw posted a non file sharing mirror of the OTA .zip file

http://www.sdx-downloads.com/sdx/evo/stock/OTA_Supersonic_1.47.651.1-1.32.651.6_release.zip
[EVO 4G Android Development] huoter:
Thanks for the heads up! Keep it coming dude
[EVO 4G Android Development] rockky:
Never mind..about root being intact.

Just checked some root apps which worked fine.

Then saw software data which hadn't changed.

Turned out install package was 'corrupted'...have to install again.
[EVO 4G Android Development] IOInterrupt:
I am pretty new to this, but I noticed that /system/lib/modules/bcm4329.ko.p exists. Does this mean that Wireless N is officially available to the HTC EVO now? As far as I can tell the BCM4329 chip handles the wireless, bluetooth, and FM radio.

I know some have said the wireless signals seem better, so maybe it's just a patch for that and not actually the N support.

Also, it looks like the 4G had some sort of patch (Sequans SDIO).
[EVO 4G Android Development] joeykrim:
that is just the name of the wifi module. it only means they are patching the wifi module, it doesnt what exactly is being patched.

we know they claim its suppose to fix the wifi signal indicator, which is prob a safe

assumption of this patch.

if they allowed wireless n router access thru this patch? won't know for sure until somebody applies it and tests.
[EVO 4G Android Development] herzzreh:
Either way, it didn't let me flash this over fresh 0.3 "asser failed: apply_patch_check"....
[EVO 4G Android Development] joeykrim:
how did you try applying this?

updated my previous md5sum post with more details on the exact files being patched.
[EVO 4G Android Development] herzzreh:
Tried to do it from recovery via "select file from SD card"
[EVO 4G Android Development] frankenstein\:
this is because flipz renamed the file with the certificates in it on the .3 fresh release so updates released by sprint/htc can't be applied because the signature can't be veriried.
[EVO 4G Android Development] omegakai:
how would you install this update manaully if you wanted to? is it the same way if you were to root but strating it up in bootloader screen?
[EVO 4G Android Development] madunix:
wow... u ppl are really impatient. as much as i hate saying this n hope it never happens... if i was a dev i wud just pick n choose ppl that are patient to give them my work. i would make my own community of ppl that listens and arent lazy to read or use the search function... soo annoying. i think it was repeasted like 5x to not flash this n to wait for a dev to take a look at it... yet ppl are still.. err wow, cheers. sry for adding my 2 cents.
[EVO 4G Android Development] joeykrim:
im gonna throw out a bunch of diff ideas. not sure what will work and what doesnt, but dont try these unless you are willing to lose root access and/or possibility mess up your phone (low probability of messing up the phone)

not sure but if you feel adventurous and want to experiment, my first guess would be to hit check updates under settings->about phone->software updates-> htc updates.

let it download the update and then apply it.

my 2nd guess of a method, is to grab the .zip file posted here, put it onto the root of the /sdcard, rename it on the /sdcard to update.zip.

boot into STOCK recovery and select apply update.zip.

if that doesn't work, might be able to rename it as PC36IMG.zip, and reboot into bootloader (although this .zip doesnt seem to be a special .zip archive file type as the other PC36IMG.zip files were) so this might not work.

also could try pushing this to the temp location the update function downloads it too and boot into the bootloader, not sure bout this one either.
[EVO 4G Android Development] huoter:
Thank you for your 2 cents ;) I will update the OP and use really big letters stating not to flash. Hopefully this doesn't turn ugly and we all stay focused!
[EVO 4G Android Development] d_willia:
Here is some info on the OTA. I took a deep breath and jumped...

Started with:

Sprint EVO

Toast's 1,2,root (including recovery)

Joeykrim's jk-original-1.0.7-deodex-signed.zip

Toast's radio update 1.39.00.05.31

Downloaded and applied the OTA update from the prompts. EVO booted into recovery and here is what I got (some numbers were changed for anonymity):

Build : no set

Finding update package...

Opening update package...

Verifying update package...

Installing update...

Verifying current system...

assert failed: apply_patch_check("/system/app/AccountAndSyncSettings.apE:unknown command [k",]

E:unknown command [57469c22c")]

E:Error in /cache/OTA_Supersonic_1.47.651.1-1.32.651.6_release2wbcp5j17uwaoh9.zip

(Status 7)

Installation aborted.

Phone booted normally and I still have root.

Hope this helps someone.

[EVO 4G Android Development] kpoz:
I'm glad you're on this right away. I can't wait for you're updated ROM. With regard to the wifi portion of the update, my guess is 802.11 n is not enabled. HTC/Sprint would have made an announcement.
[EVO 4G Android Development] joeykrim:
to sum up the software version differences from our latest OTA today and our previous most recent, RUU .6, ive posted both of them below. The OTA info is taken from the OP and RUU .6 is from my phone:

Baseband Version

OTA: 2.05.00.06.10

RUU .6: 1.39.00.05.31

Kernel Version

OTA: 2.6.29-789bf291

RUU .6: 2.6.29-a2443432

OTA: htc-kernel@and18-2 #1

RUU .6: htc-kernel@and18-2 #1

Software number:

OTA: 1.47.651.1

RUU .6: 1.32.651.6
[EVO 4G Android Development] joeykrim:
yea, actually that is interesting.

i think you're using a custom recovery not the stock recovery?

i know this specific OTA .zip file patch will work with the stock recovery, but im unsure if any of the custom recovery's we are using will properly apply this specific HTC OTA .zip file patch due to the update-script language used.

i havent looked thru any of the custom recovery's source code but unless the custom recovery's have been programmed correctly to handle android's stock recovery commands, this update wont work using a custom recovery.

although, i could be wrong cuz i haven't seen of their source code!
[EVO 4G Android Development] kpoz:
Ok, so if I have the unrevoked2 custom recovery, you're saying I won't be able to update unless they fix their recovery to work with this update, or will I be able to update when you figure out how to add root to the patch? I'm just a bit confused.
[EVO 4G Android Development] toenail78:
simple, you want root "DONT UPDATE" if you could care less do what you want.. why is everyone in such a hurry! i really dont even know why this is topic, we knew the update is coming, we know that its a gamble doing the updates, yet we are still getting the constant "will root still work" "is it safe to do this".. why be a guinea pig and just hold off for a few hours..

im with you on this one madunix, this is annoying as hell
[EVO 4G Android Development] joeykrim:
we're all confused, the OTA .zip was only posted on here 2-3 hrs ago max.

glancing through the structure and files, i think i could put all of it into a flashable .zip file except the radio image (its a radio.diff, i have to research more), but id rather wait for the people with HTC experience to look thru this and comment.

we'll have all the answers soon enough, give it some time.
[EVO 4G Android Development] d_willia:
Yes, I am using the recovery specified in Toast's root instructions (I don't know who's recovery it is). I also forgot to mention that I applied his radio update too. Updated in my original post.
[EVO 4G Android Development] ewells38:
+1, We have the greatest most skilled DEV's in our community. TRUST ME. They will have Updates, New ROMS etc. with this recently released Sprint update incorporated (while retaining FULL ROOT) soon.

Just give them some time to do their work :D
[EVO 4G Android Development] huoter:
For the last time:

Update at your own risk because as you can tell the Dev's are still researching. Save your root questions to after more information is found. Keep checking the OP because as Joeykrim & other Dev's find more information about this update I am posting it there for quick reference.

Again,

Do not flash this unless you know what you are doing, bottom line! On the other hand, senior members give the new guys a little bit of a break. We were all in their shoes at one point or another. Stay on topic people!
[EVO 4G Android Development] npace:
zImage

I extracted and fastboot flashed the kernel zImage (see attached file for zImage).

Here's a rundown of the issues that I tested for fixes:

1. Touch input lag -- fixed -- tried with multitouch visualizer 2

2. Improperly grounded touchscreen -- fixed -- tried on multiple surfaces

3. 30 fps cap -- still there

4. Camera viewfinder seems more responsive in low-light -- actually looks as fast as iphone 4's (just tested side by side)
[EVO 4G Android Development] crackerstyle:
I'm going to give it a shot. I just did a nand backup, so worst case I have to re-root again and restore my backup.
[EVO 4G Android Development] joeykrim:
wow, thats very interesting and great news!

did you check out the ramdisk at all for any changes compared to the stock kernel ramdisk? can't imagine anything significant but just wanting to be thorough...

just to make sure nobody is misinformed. it is possible for HTC, through an OTA update.zip file to completely overwrite/patch all our current methods of obtaining root access.

keep us updated on how it goes!
[EVO 4G Android Development] crackerstyle:
Well, it wouldn't let me install. Guess I'm waiting for joey to incorporate it into his next rom version lol
[EVO 4G Android Development] rockky:
If I was a dev why would I care? I give a recommendation...but then..do whatever you want.... Jeez can the drama..
[EVO 4G Android Development] npace:
No I didn't flash the ramdisk just zimage.
[EVO 4G Android Development] crackerstyle:
Good call, I didn't think of that. It wouldn't let me update anyway. Got an error in the recovery console.

So now I shall wait until you incorporate it into your next rom version. I like yours since it is stock, and I can customize it how I want without having to uninstall stuff someone else put in their rom. lol.
[EVO 4G Android Development] kpoz:
Oh, I'm in no rush. I was merely intrigued by your comment.
