[EVO 4G General] IceCreaMan:
Patched #evo4g OTA ready: http://unrevoked.com/rootwiki/doku.php/public/evo_ota_2_patch . For those of you who updated already, stay tuned.

EVO 4G 1.47.651.1-1.32.651.6 OTA fix

This page describes unrevoked's patched update to replace the 2010-06-29 over-the-air (OTA) update. Do not ever accept an update that your phone prompts you to install. Doing so will cause your phone to no longer be rooted.

Supported Devices

This fix currently supports the following Android phones:

■Sprint EVO 4G (HTC Supersonic) that has not already been updated with the 2010-06-29 OTA update.

Installation instructions

These instructions assume basic familiarity with working with an Android system. A “one-click” updater may be produced at a later date.

To install this update on your phone, follow these steps:

■If your phone is not rooted, and you do not intend to root your phone, you do not need this patched update.

■If you have not run unrevoked2 to install a custom recovery on your phone yet, you must do so now.

■If you are not sure if your phone has a custom recovery, you can find out by rebooting your phone into recovery mode. To do so, power the phone down, and when powering the phone back up, hold the 'volume down' button while pressing power. At the “HBOOT” menu, press volume down once to select “RECOVERY”, then press power once to enter recovery mode. If the screen says “ClockworkMod” at the top, then you have run unrevoked2. If it does not, you need to reboot the phone and run unrevoked2.

■Download the patched update to your computer.

■If you have already attempted to update your phone with the official update, updating the radio a second time may result in a brick! If your radio has already been updated, then you must use this version of the patched update, which has no radio update.

■Copy the patched update to your SD card, and name it update.zip.

■If you are on Windows, the easiest way to do this is to mount the SD card directly.

■Other operating systems may prefer to use adb push your_update_name.zip /sdcard/update.zip.

■Reboot the phone into recovery mode using the directions above.

■At the ClockworkMod menu, select “Update from sdcard:update.zip” by pressing volume down, then power.

■The phone will sit and work for a little while.

■When prompted, reboot the phone by selecting 'reboot' from the menu.

■The phone will reboot two or three times before it returns you to the home screen.

■The phone has been updated.

■To verify the update, press 'menu', tap settings, scroll to 'about phone', and tap 'software information'. The “build number” field should read “1.47.651.1 CL195459 unrevoked” if the phone has been successfully updated.
