Anyone know if you need to have sprint service to get the OTA update? I have a EVO 4G from Google I/O. my plan expired a while back, but I'm hoping I can get the update over Wi-Fi
[EVO 4G General] akiradavis:
Man that was quick. Tell me how it goes. I wonder if they are only going to push it to stock, unrooted ROMs.
[EVO 4G General] Doward:
I never said that they weren't. RCFTW :facepalm:
[EVO 4G General] Doward:
That was my thought. I want to make sure nothing's interferring.

Installing 1.47 now.
[EVO 4G General] m03sizlak:
It's CDT now (daylight savings)
[EVO 4G General] xcodesterox:
this is just like webos 1.4 all over again..

lol. at least this time my phone can handle all the update checks.

as for losing root, its a given, you cant update something without losing a hack or two. someone has to be a guinea pig, and everyone plays their part.

:cool:

DELAYED

Sprint just confirmed it has officially been delayed for now.. :(
[EVO 4G General] addisonhammer:
where is that coming from?
[EVO 4G General] Plancy:
It's true, I read it somewhere, forgot the link.
[EVO 4G General] ajftl:
Aug 3rd. No today.
[EVO 4G General] akiradavis:
exactly, proof or its garbage
[EVO 4G General] tjleeland:
Link please?
[EVO 4G General] edtate:
Sprint+delay go together like macaroni & cheese.
[EVO 4G General] m03sizlak:
Nooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo
[EVO 4G General] addisonhammer:
Fear mongering.
[EVO 4G General] weezer562:
Well the actual official release date was not today. So not really a promise I think.
[EVO 4G General] akiradavis:
LOL at the threads tags - HEY I HAVE A LIFE...SEE... :-/
[EVO 4G General] EliWay:
Links or you're a troll. Although I do think it's entirely possible that they only make it available monday. Why? Because today is friday, and if something goes wrong over the weekend, there would be no engineers to fix it.
[EVO 4G General] bencredible:
According to Sprint's Twitter account... It will be released August 3rd: twitter . com/sprint/status/19864826140

Sorry, can't post links, so remove the extra spaces around the .
[EVO 4G General] Doward:
Just finished installing 1.47, went to check, now downloading "System update" with no version number?

Scratch that, this much be the 2nd go round with 1.47.651.1 that has to get installed first.
[EVO 4G General] sk63:
That was likely for the push updates. We should be able to get pull updates today, at least according to the press release.
[EVO 4G General] akiradavis:
I really hope your phone is ok after that "no version" update. i dont mess with phantom ota's
[EVO 4G General] Plancy:
Everyone knows but some people believe they will be able to manually update the phone through settings>htc software update this afternoon.
[EVO 4G General] skydeaner:
suck it sprint.... just suck it

I'm just kiddin baby, i love you, please release the update.... purdy please!
[EVO 4G General] akiradavis:
So it seems my predictions will be true. Nothing is ever on time in the tech world. They make you wait to draw more hype.
[EVO 4G General] Doward:
No, it's fine - restarting now. In the download Notification it said only 'System update' - but once it was downloaded, it gave a dialog stating it was 1.47.651.1 and asked if it could install.

I hate waiting for Sense to load. :(
[EVO 4G General] m03sizlak:
Delaying the update now would be tantamount to anally raping my mother while pouring sugar in my gas tank.
[EVO 4G General] bencredible:
HA! And holding my breath.... and no.... They have been pretty public on what is coming and hoping for a *weekend* release is a bit of insanity.
[EVO 4G General] champ052005:
You guys, relax. It is not delayed as per Sprint's website. I think he is a troll.

Sprint's website says it is released on 7/30/2010. So I'm assuming we will be able to update in an hour or so.

http://support.sprint.com/support/article/Find_and_update_the_software_version_on_your_HTC_EVO_4G/case-wh164052-20100527-115429?&INTNAV=SU:DP:HDIA
[EVO 4G General] Doward:
Yeah, looking like a false alarm. Completely updated bone stock right now, and still getting no updates available.

I'll check back in a half hour or so. I do have work to do, after all. heh
[EVO 4G General] psych2l:
It's too bad they can't make this download available for wired installs.
[EVO 4G General] kajolishot:
I never pulled the 1st OTA auto-update down, and I wonder if the 2.2 update will come through if I don't do the first OTA.

Anyone else in the same situation? :confused:
[EVO 4G General] Fixter:
Good job on finding that. Nobody remembered. ><
[EVO 4G General] TheBiles:
I can live without the battery-killing 4G.
[EVO 4G General] Greenfieldan:
With all due respect to those running 2.2 Roms...good for, this thread is for those of us who are waiting for some reason or another...you may not want it, but we do :)

And I've seen NOTHING about the evo getting though...only verizon phones :(
[EVO 4G General] SteelH:
+1 on that. I like fully functional 4g and front/rear cameras. It's what makes this phone different from the rest!
[EVO 4G General] redrazr7791:
When I go into settings and click on "Software Update" and I get 2.2, then I will believe that it was released....

Comment on FroYo from HTC back to me today:

"Thank you for your reply. While we have announced that both the Incredible and Evo will officially be receiving updates to FroYo, we have not announced any timeframes. There has not been an official announcement from HTC stating that the Incredible's FroYo update will be pushed in the first week of August. That said, we can work in hypotheticals here. Even though the specifications for the devices are quite similar and it is an update to the same OS version, it cannot be said for certain that the Incredible and Evo would receive the updates within a certain window. They are still different in many respects, and one major one that affects the release is their differing carriers. Sprint and Verizon may have several different customizations of the OS that they want implemented into the updates. As well, the testing that is performed may differ between the two carriers, and thus their final approval of the updates may come at different times. I know that we want to make these updates available as soon as we can while being thoroughly sure that they are fully functional, but unfortunately that doesn't allow for a more specific timeframe than I have already provided. If the information you have heard is from any of the various popular tech blogs, then I do hope it will turn out to be accurate (or at least close); they have a fairly good success rate, so it does leave plenty of hope that the updates will come sooner than later. I do wish I had an actual timeframe for you, as I certainly understand looking forward to the update, we just unfortunately do not have a timeline at this point. I want to again apologize for any inconvenience you may have experienced and thank you for your patience."
[EVO 4G General] cocobongo77:
They gonna bggin in europe tomorow with HTC Desire, then others htc, i think Evo will be end of september or December as other thread said.

http://androidandme.com/2010/07/pho...2-2-rollout-for-htc-desire-to-start-tomorrow/
[EVO 4G General] deviouskater:
Once its released for the evo devs can use that rom to get all the bugs out of 2.2 non Sense roms. So I'm excited
[EVO 4G General] TorxT3D:
september or december?? uh... NO. doubt we have to wait that long for something "official"
[EVO 4G General] chrisctb:
you would be surprised
[EVO 4G General] Greenfieldan:
Idk...with all of the other companies (aka motorola) getting Froyo out as soon as they can, HTC would be VERY foolish to wait months to release it. While they've been bad in the past, the game has changed and they can't afford to wait months for an upgrade now...ESPECIALLY on their flagship phone. While I can see it coming out LATER, anything past late august/very early september seems flat out ridiculous if you ask me.

Sent from mah Evo
[EVO 4G General] topdnbass:
Considering that the first HTC-branded phone to get Froyo is gonna be a sense one (the desire), I can't believe that it's gonna take more than a few weeks at maximum.

Of course HTC does tend to take their sweet time. Froyo has been available on the nexus for so long that I find it hard to believe that it took this long to port it over to the Desire.

I mean, seriously? Nexus + Sense = Desire.

With all that aside, I'd prefer a solid update that I have to wait for than a rushed out release with problems and limits (fps :o).

Let's just pray it's everything we hoped for.

Agreed. From a business standpoint.
[EVO 4G General] infamousjax:
it won't be here til december...

it's ****ing Sprint... you saw how they handled 2.1 for the Hero... 6 painful months it took them. Sprint is rolling out the Epic 4G this month, and if it's running Eclair don't expect to see Froyo on the Evo for a long time.
[EVO 4G General] edtate:
Hahaha, and htc would be foolish for capping graphics at 30fps, and htc would be foolish for sloppily putting together the first batch of evo's to create a host of screen separation issues, and htc would be foolish for any of the other things they've done that don't come to mind right now...but they are foolish.

On another note, I believe a sprint memo stated froyo should be rolled out on the evo in late july or early august. This to me is the most promising, as that would mean sprint is already adding in their customizations and testing the product already, aka, sensual froyo is already on evo (official), just getting the bells and whistles sprint wants (wonder if wifi tether is going to magically disappear?)
[EVO 4G General] redrazr7791:
Don't forget the HTC Desire fiasco a couple of months ago...
[EVO 4G General] dglowe343:
+1

Damage all the way!
[EVO 4G General] shafter09:
Do you have 4g working on your froyo?
[EVO 4G General] edtate:
If I'm not mistaken, no froyo build has 4g working. The code for 4g was eccentrically woven into sense and 2.1 by htc and hasn't been ported over to froyo yet as there is no phone with official froyo support + 4g. I do know this is a high priority of cyanogen's so we will see 4g soon. But meh, what does it matter to me, there's no freakin 4g here lol.
[EVO 4G General] cocobongo77:
You think when release Froyo 2.2 will continue cap 30FPS? When i get my update in my Evo for froyo 2.2 then i will believe. The rest of rumors is trash.

Otherwhise the 4g Who care ? Here where i live will take long...
[EVO 4G General] dglowe343:
Nope. Not in a 4G area. 3G and wifi work just fine for me. Compared to T-Mobile's data speed, Sprint 3G feels like 4G.
[EVO 4G General] edtate:
****, whenever 4g comes to phoenix i'll definately care lol. Idk, there's already froyo roms with sense on it and soon cyanogen's going to have a 4g fix soon so we really don't "need" htc at this point; but it would be nice if they released it. I'll still love my phone either way :)
[EVO 4G General] pixelpop:
I seriously doubt that anything will happen until Monday.

1. 1.47 was released (pull and push) on a Monday.

2. After the "bricked phone" fiasco on 1.47, Sprint will not want anyone getting the update via pull until Monday when they have all hands on deck to handle any mishaps.
[EVO 4G General] skydeaner:
SHUT YOUR DIRTY MOUTH MISTER!

just kiddin

Your gonna make me cry.

Man i sure hope it hurries up and comes in today, i didn't go back to stock from Cyan for nothing.
[EVO 4G General] champ052005:
haha...not a problem. I didn't want too many people freaking out.

My guess is that they didn't turn their servers on for the customers to download yet. But nonetheless, today is the day.
[EVO 4G General] Plancy:
Yeah but then that's our logic, we have no idea what Sprint has planned or if they prepared for a weekend launch with High Priority.
[EVO 4G General] Young_e:
so why did sprint post this...check the link below??
[EVO 4G General] Fixter:
Right now I'm on CM6. If I want to install froyo. Do I just install the latest RUU and I'm good to go? I would like to think so, but just in case. Am I missing something else?
[EVO 4G General] sk63:
I thought the whole idea with this roll out would be that users would opt in to this update by pull vs receiving a push notification. I think Sprint/HTC figured that these early adopters would likely be more tech savvy so more likely to troubleshoot problems so that the general roll out could be smoother.
[EVO 4G General] m03sizlak:
Mmmmmmmmm, taco bell
[EVO 4G General] skydeaner:
HAHA! someone noticed.

Chalupas are delicious

so.... an hour has passed and still no update. I think sprint is officially a liar. Making a call to them right now to tell them so.
[EVO 4G General] EliWay:
Any HTC or Sprint engineers reading this... You can leak the update here, it's okay.
[EVO 4G General] epersons:
I downloaded the PC36IMG.zip file from XDA. Save it to SD card and power off phone. Turn on by holding power and volume down. press volume up to apply image file. I did this last night and have updated to the latest 147.x.x.x update. You cant use the RUU unless you have HTC sync option on current ROM. I believe CM6 does not have this option.

This is in response to Fixter's question.
[EVO 4G General] champ052005:
Yo quiero taco bell......whatever happened to that dog lol
[EVO 4G General] Fixter:

DONT DO IT. YOU WILL LOSE ROOT!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Ok, do it if you want to, but you have been warned.

And this goes for every eager mcbeaver on here; you WILL LOSE ROOT updating this. Again, you WILL LOSE ROOT, and their is NO GUARANTEES how long the wait will be to freshly root the unrooted rom.

FOR THOSE WHO STILL WANT ROOT: wait until a rooted rom is released, these usually don't take long to do; the last ota's rom was released rooted the same day.
[EVO 4G General] splink7007:
That is correct. unroot with the latest RUU and keep checking for updates. Keep in mind that once the "official" RUU is out it will only be a matter of time for someone to root it. I personally wouldnt want to take the chance of losing root for good.
[EVO 4G General] redrazr7791:
He died if I am correct :(
[EVO 4G General] Fixter:

The last root fix if you applied the OTA, it dropped the PRI to 1.34 with no way to update, unless I missed something?
[EVO 4G General] cocobongo77:

[EVO 4G General] plmiller0905:
Quick question, if i go to:

Settings>System Updates>Htc Software Update ... to check for the update will the update still show if I'm rooted?

I'm not going to accept. I just want to know if it'll still show up.
[EVO 4G General] Richkid:
Removed post
[EVO 4G General] edtate:
Meh, like I said no guarantees. HTC's been getting pretty smart lately blocking the root. Remember, the latest root method was pretty unorthodox; and I'm for damned sure htc blocked that.

I just want people to be FOREWARNED THAT THEY WILL LOSE ROOT and that we really don't know how long it's going to take to get that back until after the rom is released and the devs look at it.

Your friend joe that works at the sprint store does not get direct communication from sprint's engineers on the status of the evo update... Regardless of what he tells you and how cool he thinks he is.

pri *not* prl... unless I missed something even more...

Indeed, you did. PRL=Preferred roaming list.....

edit:i guess we're talking about two different things.

second edit: yup, we are. Yea, there is no way to update the pri. Question though, if we ota update to 2.2, would our pri go up to the latest version also?

Whatever makes you feel cool dude.

Nah im just messin with ya. They didn't give you any information worth a crap though lol. I am just really anxious.
[EVO 4G General] cocobongo77:
I think after Update everything will change,including the PRI.
[EVO 4G General] EliWay:
Regardless, when your source says "I guess..." and "not sure", it makes it no different than what a Sprint store employee would say.
[EVO 4G General] stroths:
If you want to retain root then don't do the update (OTA or Downloadable exe) when they release it. Instead, wait until someone separates out just the OS and roots it.
[EVO 4G General] splink7007:
Reason I asked is because if you unroot using the 1.47 RUU your PRI remains the same at 1.34 I already tried that along with many many others. I had to reroot using simple root.

What I find hillarious is the origins of this topic, "Froyo Tomorrow?" This topic was created

Well now it looks like 8/1 for manual update.

See SeanD's post about it here:

http://community.sprint.com/baw/com...-evo-4g-beginning-tuesday-aug-3#comment-10197
[EVO 4G General] edtate:
More than likely. The only thing that would entice me to update and lose root is if there's significant speed differences between whatever pri I have now and the new one.

That leads me to ask; for anybody who's rooted now and going to update, could you do mobile speedtest of I.right now with the 1.34 pri and II.after update. I'd like to compare and see exactly what's the difference.
[EVO 4G General] edtate:
Bad sk63, bad sk63;what did we say about sprint employees???
[EVO 4G General] nvous23:
Lol i like that Devon guy asking if he will have to flash the stock rom from CM6 nightly in order to get the update on the sprint forums... LOL.
[EVO 4G General] lwarranty:
jeepers...

http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=712824

again - pri not prl, but my understanding is if you rooted after the OTA update, your pri would revert with no way to update - my latest evo came updated, i rooted and pri reverted and have been unable to restore pri. but no issues that i am aware of except it's obviously been modified from stock? however all my pda's have been hacked in some sense, never had a problem from sprint, sometimes the folks ask to show it around and then hand it back with smiles...

the point to all of this is - it might be better to wait for the root fix before flashing?
[EVO 4G General] Plancy:
So 8/1 it is, I believe it.
[EVO 4G General] rollrsk8ter:
This makes me laugh so hard.... further down see this reply:

If we are using CM6 nightly will we have to flash a stock rom in order to update to the official 2.2? If I go into settings there is no system updates menu.

When cyanogen was asked: "@cyanogen so what does official froyo for evo mean as far as production for you and your team?

about 3 hours ago via Twitter for Android"

he replied: "nothing"

Per his own words this release will do nothing to further their success and/or coding of cm6.
[EVO 4G General] Doward:
roflmao - why would anyone expect it would change a thing?
[EVO 4G General] jblazea50:
of course it means nothing as Cyanogen is strictly AOSP; what would be helpful is if HTC releases the kernel source for Froyo (i believe Froyo uses kernel .32 and the current Evo has .29)
[EVO 4G General] sk63:
Well there is 4G and possibly some modifications that HTC did that might be worth incorporating. Though for the most part a Sense based ROM doesn't have much in common with ASOP in terms of what the devs are going to care about.
[EVO 4G General] edtate:
Oh yea, like that uber-realistic flashlight? Pfft, I don't know how I could ever live with cm6 if he didn't put one in it...
[EVO 4G General] epersons:
I spoke to Sprint technical support (probably means nothing) and I was told that the update was corrupt and they are looking to re-release it. No time was given.
[EVO 4G General] myndwire:
lol right, like those people know what they're talking about. 'oh noes corrupt file! entire customer base is pwned!' .. mmmkay..
[EVO 4G General] sk63:
I was more thinking about stuff under the hood, like mods to the kernel or bluetooth stack. Until we actually start digging around in this build of Froyo we may or may not find something that would be good to have in CM6.
[EVO 4G General] Young_e:
people act like cm6 is the only way to go for froyo, but you are sadly mistaken some of us like sense, some of us actually use 4g, and some like to try official releases so we can tell how things are suppose to work and then we try out the custom roms. if you like sm6 good for you we don't need you to keep telling us
[EVO 4G General] VSack:
It doesn't mean anything to the CM6 release itself, but you can expect flashes similar to the vending.apk and gapps to allow for 4G, possibly better audio and video, etc.

These things won't be rolled into CM until the source code is released, but they will help plug certain gaps in the mean time.
[EVO 4G General] epersons:
He did sell it pretty well. If I wasn't a skeptic, I would have totally bought it.
