I'm not sure which news is more current..

The fact that froyo is coming or Mcfly found the Flux Capacitor!!
[EVO 4G General] sgt. slaughter:
anyway to ftp there server's to check or only way to check form phone?
[EVO 4G General] nonpointtruth:
Wait, what's Android 2.2? Is that something for our Evo's? I don't get it.. Why is this news so good that there's 6,000 threads about it already? I'm confused..

[\sarcasm]
[EVO 4G General] Vandam500:
Damn another thread? There are at least 10 that I've seen here on XDA :/
[EVO 4G General] Scorbin:
Aug 3rd is the date

Per slashgear.com

see: "/htc-evo-4g-for-sprint-updating-to-android-2-2-beginning-august-3rd-2995893/"
[EVO 4G General] tdmiata:
How long after the 2.2 release will there be a thread with the title I updated to 2.2 now root is gone?
[EVO 4G General] f00kie:
There wont be any changes to that page - it is already updated - the RUU isnt posted there, it simply says to use HTC software update ;)
[EVO 4G General] nebenezer:
Unbelievable.

I don't know why but I'm actually surprised at the number of new threads about 2.2

this shiz is retarded

I thought it was bad when 2.1 dropped for the Hero and everyone and their cousin had to start a thread about when is the official 2.1 gonna be rooted.

The number of threads on this topic have surpassed that in less than 24 hours.

I would say some shiz about giving it a rest already but I know as well as every other half way rational person who has any experience on the internet that there is no stopping it, there is just dealing with it, or leaving.

On that note I'm starting to see a striking similarity between the time "period" before an Android OS update and my girls time-of-the-month. Both are grueling and dissapointing, you can't do anything to stop it, and during that time all you can do is sit around and wait for it to be over. But when it's over all is good again.

The following comment is more symbolic than anything:

WE HAVE MORE THAN ENOUGH THREADS REGARDING THE 2.2 UPDATE

WE DO NOT NEED ANY MORE THREADS ABOUT THE 2.2 UPDATE, FOR ANY REASON, WHATSOEVER

THE THREADS WE ALREADY HAVE REGARDING THE 2.2 UPDATE ARE MORE THAN SUFFICIENT TO COVER ANY BREAKING NEWS

STOP MAKING NEW THREADS ABOUT THE 2.2 UPDATE
[EVO 4G General] Tattrpuff:
About 7 Minutes....:p
[EVO 4G General] wase4711:
I am sure they have uber-security for inbound FTP connections...no way in the world they would "allow" anyone to FTP in without secure L/P...
[EVO 4G General] progenocide:
So I'm guessing well have official rooted rom soon

Swyped with my EVO
[EVO 4G General] ewells38:
I'm sure immediatly after it's released.. LOL

This is why i'll just wait a little longer for our Dev's to get their hands on it and work their magic :D, then i'll upgrade..
[EVO 4G General] blakeboys:
I have a feeling when sprint sends out notifications the forum will be flooded! Right now the folks following along with this most likely know about rooting and HOPEFULLY know better.
[EVO 4G General] nonpointtruth:
I just flashed back to a 2.1 rom.. I don't care about losing root right now.. I just want a fully functional 2.2 rom that makes me feel akward in places. :)
[EVO 4G General] Rudementry:
Make this thread the new Cyanogen nightly thread of 10 days ago?
[EVO 4G General] sgt. slaughter:
well maybe not ftp but have an approx gues of what the dl link would be when they post it live on the site. i have no clue what the old one was.
[EVO 4G General] Skitzi:
Hey did you hear htc is rollin out the 2.2 update today.

Omfghswow awesome sauce!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
[EVO 4G General] MrDSL:
Add a few 0's to that.
[EVO 4G General] cornelious2:
man... I was at least hoping to get rick roll'd clicking on this post...
[EVO 4G General] Unknownforce:
Is this going to make my GB's bigger and give me more Wi-Fi's?
[EVO 4G General] dadoc04:
hahahahaha @ you putting that in every thread about 2.2
[EVO 4G General] dwertz:
Wait a minute....you mean there are other threads about 2.2 being released?
[EVO 4G General] MCL1981:
I'm going to stick to my tried and true method that results in success all the time, every time. Let the new stuff hit, let everyone go crazy, let the bugs get discovered and worked out, let the developers screw with it. Then about two weeks after it is released, I'll upgrade to it without a hitch.

If a 2.2 rooted ROM comes out before that, I'll apply the same logic to that.
[EVO 4G General] Nismo-b15:
:o gonna delete my name and come back like that never happpend...... lol my bad i saw some other threads dident see an offical date sorry bout that lol..... are you guys gonna update or wait a few days to see how it pans out? who knows when root acsess will be available........
[EVO 4G General] ewells38:
My thinking exactly ;)
[EVO 4G General] mrmomoman:
Got to love ignorance. Stable? Define please.

Also working off of a ROM that has been coded with hundreds of developers is different then actually coding the original ROM. Tweaking is no small job but give me a break when you compare that to the scale and depth of a fully developed ROM from start to finish. Even HTC sense is no joke when it comes to the amount of code behind it. What you get now on your phone is development months ago. It's not on the fly let's fix the most current complaint kinda thing.
[EVO 4G General] nebenezer:
OH don't do that man. No need to make a new account. No one will remember this thread tomorrow.

We're just giving you crap along with the 50 other people who started threads on the subject :)

And we've all been new here before, don't sweat it ;)
[EVO 4G General] Vdubtx:
Agreed. Just like when I had an iPhone, new software comes out, days or a week after the jailbreak and unlock method has been posted and I can update it.

I will wait a while before I put the Froyo update on mine. Have a 2 week trip coming up and I will want Wifi Tether to still work for me. :D
[EVO 4G General] zone23:
Will it have the Nascar App? **** YA!
[EVO 4G General] repseki:
Hahaha, same exact thing here. I would love to update today, but I have a trip and need tethering way too much.
[EVO 4G General] MCL1981:
There will be 10 other threads like this. Yours will soon be forgotten.

Good things come to those who wait. Let the bugs and crashes get worked out. Let the developers do their thing. Let others report their experiences. Then upgrade if it still looks tasty.
[EVO 4G General] olemarc:
Soon

I suppose that this should be a quick root. I recently came over here from running 2.2 on my vogue, so having froyo on an EVO might be nice...
[EVO 4G General] ewells38:
Besides once our Dev's (such as flipz & Damagecontrol) get a hold of this release, they'll just make it better (while still retaining all the goodies such as full ROOT, tether) and all that good stuff...
[EVO 4G General] spiicytuna:
tick-tock ... isn't it time ? ;)
[EVO 4G General] dudleyfire:
More Details...

[EVO 4G General] cocobongo77:
The Countdown Begin.. in 1hr 26min left for those who cant wait until August 3rd will begin today manually. Htc/ Sprint see how it going for any issue related. before release Update notification officialy in august 3
[EVO 4G General] zone23:
Anyone heard anything about Froyo maybe coming to the EVO?
[EVO 4G General] m03sizlak:
I want this upgrade NOWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWW!!!!!!!!

Seriously, this had better be in the form of a FULLY ROOTED stock ROM by about 2pm EDT.
[EVO 4G General] mrvirginia:
yes! car dock coming in Sept!!! w00t!
[EVO 4G General] barnacles10:
Once the Rom drops, its super easy to root it. It's just getting myself a copy that's the problem :)
[EVO 4G General] SooooneR:
Surprised

That Damageless didnt have this before it came out. He usually gets them. I dont know if he has an inside source or what. LOL
[EVO 4G General] dwertz:
I am actually interested in the google browser quick links. In the Google IO they stated you can use a google browser eg maps, mp3 downloads etc. and send links to your phone if running 2.2. I have not seen anything about this, but only in the Google IO video

Oh I found it. Its called Chrome to Phone

http://googlesystem.blogspot.com/2010/05/send-links-from-google-chrome-to.html
[EVO 4G General] addisonhammer:
Sprint Site Update!

great, my first post is a dup.

sorry, this thread gets updated fast...
[EVO 4G General] akiradavis:
seriously, the devs here are doing us a favor. no need to demand it. remember you are not paying the devs to do this for us.

i just get worked up by this because i have to deal with the same attitude from my customers at my job, yet they pay for the service. we do not, so comments like that would make me (if i was a serious dev) have us wait longer. so please chill. i too am anxiously waiting for a rooted stock rom. plus, besides the flash support, what dont we have that is not on 2.1. i can live without flash for a week or two but i cant live without wireless (and wired) tethering.

now if pdanet is confirmed working on a 4g connection then i may consider going with the ota
[EVO 4G General] Tattrpuff:
As of now this is only a 7 page thread...this was posted 3 pages back with the link, but thanks. Just read through so we are not filling the thread with duplicate stuff.
[EVO 4G General] m03sizlak:
Meh I wouldnt say super easy. You have to make sure it doesnt overwrite the recovery or misc partitions, or do anything else to attempt to lock the NAND or rob you of your root.
[EVO 4G General] akiradavis:
PDANet

Does anyone think PDANet will work out the box with 4G service? Does it work now?
[EVO 4G General] mrmomoman:
Some here are more anxious for this day than any holiday. It's like an earlier gift ;)
[EVO 4G General] addisonhammer:
sorry man, my first post... and when i first started writing the post this wasnt posted yet. give me a damn break.
[EVO 4G General] akiradavis:
LOL, what I learned from trolling XDA, reply carefully
[EVO 4G General] Doward:
Someone give me the directory that it'll most likely download to, and I'll post it as soon as it's ready.
[EVO 4G General] sgt. slaughter:
took you over 2hrs to write the post??

b/c thats how much time before your post the other one was posted
[EVO 4G General] skydeaner:
come on damn it, 11:20 AND IT STILL ISN'T UP!!! I was hoping it would be up early. I bet it is going to be late. Prolly won't get it til the 3rd.....

see if i start thinking that way i won't be disappointed lol

and quit bickering like children. A few people on here really are mean sometimes.

"please read the thread" would have been a proper response, there is no need to keep going on about stuff.
[EVO 4G General] LudoGris:
FroYo...really?

So, in case none of you have heard...FroYo is coming in the next couple days!!!

For those of us lucky enough, you can manually update like I just did...

Thing is now I need help. I don't have root access anymore. Any idea why this might be? :confused:

:D
[EVO 4G General] drbadass:
hilarious! LMFAO!! I NEED MORE THREADS JUST LIKE THIS ONE :rolleyes:

delete this garbage mods
[EVO 4G General] qteezyfosheezy:
How long do you think before 2.2 is leaked?

So if sprint officially is going to release froyo tuesday how long do you think before the official OTA leaks?.. From my past experience with the hero, among others it almost always does.
[EVO 4G General] vedavin:
Are you for real ?
[EVO 4G General] m03sizlak:
is it out yet???

are we there yet? are we there yet? are we there yet? are we there yet? are we there yet? are we there yet? are we there yet? are we there yet? are we there yet? are we there yet? are we there yet? are we there yet? are we there yet? are we there yet? are we there yet? are we there yet? are we there yet? are we there yet? are we there yet? are we there yet?
[EVO 4G General] qteezyfosheezy:
No hes not :(
[EVO 4G General] Jye75:
I did read somewhere that some subscribers are getting it today, as a testbed thing... could be telling the truth.
[EVO 4G General] dadoc04:
End well, this wont.
[EVO 4G General] addisonhammer:
actually it did... i got sidetracked at work and submitted it once i got back.

most importantly, i deleted it as soon as i realized it was a dup
[EVO 4G General] sgt. slaughter:
you guys werent lieing about ppl will be posting the same thing over and over again here WITHOUT LOOKING at the billion other threads below that have this posted all over.

One should assume that if they see something on Engadget or sprint or where ever and the post is more than 5min old, then its already been posted here on XDA
[EVO 4G General] tkrechel:
No that is not how it's working, anyone can download it when it goes live today by doing it manually. they just wont begin PUSHING it till tuesday
[EVO 4G General] misterneums:
I just want to be able to wirelessly tether (or even usb tether) come 2.2. Work would be far too boring if I had to access the internet using work's limited network. =(
[EVO 4G General] bcnice20:
Sprint themselves just tweeted its dropping August 3rd
[EVO 4G General] Doward:
A few? Might want to recount...
[EVO 4G General] Tattrpuff:
Calm down there sparky...my comment was pretty mellow and rational. It was a cool spring day compared to what some of the guys will say. And I thanked you for the post, but gave you a bit of advice for future posts!

Welcome to the xda!
[EVO 4G General] Jye75:
I see, I'm in no rush to get it, so I haven't really been following the threads regarding FroYo.
[EVO 4G General] sgt. slaughter:
uh yeah just tweeted as in almost a full day ago.
[EVO 4G General] Scorbin:
I'm using pdanet on 2.1, non-rooted for usb tether. Works great.
[EVO 4G General] addisonhammer:
haha, i guess i've read comments from some pretty rude posters and assumed too much... Thanks for the tip!
[EVO 4G General] ewells38:
+1 Yes it appears to be lots of hostility on this site, especially if you inadvertently duplicate a post or goodness forbid "Ask a question"

You'll get slammed/flammed.. Really too bad, shouldn't be that way.

There are many other ways to suggest a person who needs help to read a particular thread or point them to it. I once beleived that the goal of sites such as this was to help your fellow man/woman/noob, but I found out the hard way that I was mistaken... :rolleyes:,
[EVO 4G General] toastcfh:
Merged 8 more threads into this one making the total 22 threads on the same subject.:/
[EVO 4G General] Doward:
While true, you have to realize this is the internet. Most of the people on here a geeks, and have been since before the birth of the internet.

The internet requires a thick skin, or you will get slammed around. Don't let it bother you personally - it's just some text, after all.

99.9999999% of what's said on the internet would NEVER be said to your face, you know it - I know it, Anonymous knows it.

LMAO - Toast, you're gonna have your work cut out for you over the next 24-72 hours - you have my pity (and gratitude)
[EVO 4G General] GuyNoir:
If they use the same process as the last OTA, you can accept the download, but select "don't install now" after the d/l is complete.

The phone will keep the .zip in cache until you tell it to perform the upgrade. It should quit nagging, then.

I still have the last OTA on my sdcard, where I moved it to.
[EVO 4G General] m03sizlak:
The problem is that you need an IQ greater than that of a small rock. Better luck next life.
[EVO 4G General] ewells38:

[EVO 4G General] Jye75:
One more.......

[EVO 4G General] MrDSL:
There is an old saying

"You can lead a sheep to water but you can make him drink it."
[EVO 4G General] techs1200:
it's HORSE.

You can lead a HORSE to water...
[EVO 4G General] Doward:
"You can lead a horse to water, but you can't make him drink it"?

You can always hit him with a lead pipe, however.
[EVO 4G General] dadoc04:
wowzers @ 22
[EVO 4G General] toastcfh:
Make that 23 I just merged one more
[EVO 4G General] ewells38:
Agreed... but I thought that was a horse... LOL

Like the poster noted above, gotta have thick skin around here...
[EVO 4G General] MrDSL:
Anyone seen my DeLoreon? I need to get back to the year 2010 and get me some Froyo!!
[EVO 4G General] m03sizlak:
What about popular apps that will not work in Froyo? My main concern is Swype, will the beta version still work in Froyo?
[EVO 4G General] Doward:
Totally wiped the phone awaiting the 2.2 rollout in (hopefully) 17 more minutes.

I'll then ls -R / and find out where the hell it's hiding, and post it up.
[EVO 4G General] massivebasset:
Merging 23 threads makes it really difficult to follow. Just lock em and let em die imo.

But then again, Im no mod! So do what you like! =D
[EVO 4G General] edtate:
Yes, yes, swype will still work on froyo. How do you think they got it on the n1?
[EVO 4G General] Fixter:
I don't understand why people keep saying the update is gonna become available manually today. It's starting to drop for everyone on August 3rd and so forth until the middle of August.
[EVO 4G General] CYDVicious:
Perhaps the issue is the thread title...Maybe change it to "Froyo 2.2 Sprint OTA News and Discussion Here" or something...Froyo Tomorrow sounds like a post from a month ago...and old news...Since people have been saying that since the phone came out...
[EVO 4G General] ewells38:
LOL, this is gonna get a lot worst before it gets better...

They'll learn, After they get slammed a few times, they'll learn :)
[EVO 4G General] m03sizlak:
T-13 minutes, 17 seconds
[EVO 4G General] Doward:
From what I've read, it'll available for MANUAL update today, 12PM CST.

It'll be PUSHED to the phones in batches starting August 3rd.

In other words, we'll be the guinea pigs to prevent another OTA 1.47 brick fiasco.
[EVO 4G General] edtate:
Ooooh, your in teh future??? How's gingerbread :)?

edit:LOL 24th thread merged
[EVO 4G General] swaze:
Actually there will be some who can get it starting at noon today according to every single article posted, and even sprints document says so. So yes, everyone will be able to start getting it on the 3rd, but some will get it today.
[EVO 4G General] Fixter:
Manual update meaning...? I have to check for the update availability on settings..? I don't think thats what Sprint was referring to..
[EVO 4G General] Doward:
Meaning you go to (From home) - Settings / Update System / Firmware Update (maybe HTC Software Update)
[EVO 4G General] toastcfh:
24 and counting :/
[EVO 4G General] m03sizlak:
Read the leaked Sprint documents to see why. They explicitly say that the update will be available MANUALLY starting 7/30 12:00pm Central Time. The manual updaters will be GUINEA PIGS for the update.

QUOTE:

"For a test bed, the new software will be available on client-initiated on Friday afternoon which will give a good sampling before proactively pushing the notification of software available on Tuesday 8/2 (assuming everything goes well)."
[EVO 4G General] AssassinsLament:
Is that how many nights you spent on the couch for your new computer? :D
[EVO 4G General] Fixter:
Yes, I obviously know that. I'm just saying people might be misunderstanding what Sprint meant.
[EVO 4G General] Plancy:
8 more minutes! Think they'll be exact?
[EVO 4G General] liemydude:
Exact as the different number of threads that have been started to tell us "froyo is coming tomorrow!!!"
[EVO 4G General] akiradavis:
Nope. I say give or take a hour.
[EVO 4G General] Doward:
He hit it on the nail. Client initiated = the client (aka the phone) initiates the procedure.
[EVO 4G General] m03sizlak:
WAIT, Sprint said 12:00pm CST. In ten minutes it will be 12pm CDT!!!!!!!!! WHAT DOES IT ALL MEAN!!!!
[EVO 4G General] edtate:
nevermid...
[EVO 4G General] Fixter:
I means... I'm getting it at 3 PM Atlantic Time.. Cause its 1PM here.. -_-
[EVO 4G General] GuyNoir:
It is about the number of nights I spent on the couch for getting the EVO on 6/4, when there really wasn't any budget for it.
[EVO 4G General] liemydude:
How many new threads will there be once the update is available?
[EVO 4G General] Doward:
Wow, how many of you guys put yourselves in debt over a phone? There was a thread a week or so back about someone *****ing that Sprint cut their service, when they didn't pay their bill.

Seriously people, it's a phone.

I make jack **** for a living, knew I wanted the Evo, so I just stopped eating out and whatnot for a month or so prior to the Evo launch. It's not like it was some big secret, and I paid that **** it cold hard cash.
[EVO 4G General] m03sizlak:
Actually, Central STANDARD Time is UTC-6. Central DAYLIGHT Time is UTC-5. So technically, it has already been 12:00pm CST for the last 58 minutes.
[EVO 4G General] akiradavis:
Negative, its on 11:58am at time of writing this.
[EVO 4G General] Doward:
No, it's 12:58 right now EST (UTC-5) - It'll be 12:00pm CST in 2 more minutes.
[EVO 4G General] jmanring:
Downloading now. It's in HTC Update.
[EVO 4G General] edtate:
Has the update been out 58 minutes? Huh, no? Well then....
[EVO 4G General] Fixter:
I LOL at this. xD
[EVO 4G General] liemydude:
12 PM now go go go
[EVO 4G General] Fixter:
Nothing.. ^^
[EVO 4G General] TMartin:
Does not seem to be true....Can you provide a link??
[EVO 4G General] akiradavis:
LOL I can see how this its funny. We gotta put people in check here on the EVO side of XDA :D
[EVO 4G General] akiradavis:
Patience is a virtue

I say at it'll be ready at 1PM CST. Nothing is ever on time accept bill due dates.
[EVO 4G General] Doward:
Nothing yet...
[EVO 4G General] onejoo:
Ok, so I've tried both Firmware update and HTC software update about 30 times each and no luck, I think it will roll out to only certain Evo's and it wont't be manual, just what I think.
[EVO 4G General] jmanring:
A link? I'll just pop that out of the HTC update Software for you...
[EVO 4G General] EliWay:
Watch htc servers get hammered when the update goes live. :eek:
[EVO 4G General] skydeaner:
nothing here in champaign illinois.... "Your phone is ups to date"

Lies..... all lies.
[EVO 4G General] edtate:
nothing yet
[EVO 4G General] cocobongo77:
Same B%^%&.. When i get the notification then I will believe it. I got headache and nightmare already:mad::mad:
[EVO 4G General] Fixter:
Picture? or Proof?
[EVO 4G General] akiradavis:
LOL

HTC servers crying bloody murder right now. I wonder how long it is going to take to download. They did use the word "trickle".
[EVO 4G General] spiicytuna:
Hah....believe it when I see it
[EVO 4G General] MrDSL:
Oh dude we are on zucchini here in the future but my EVO doesn't have enough power to run it :(

I got my flux capacitor now I just need me my Deloreon!!
[EVO 4G General] onejoo:
Is this through firmware update or HTC software update?
[EVO 4G General] Doward:
Yeah, no kidding. We'll see what happens. If it comes, it comes, if it doesn't, it will eventually ;)

I'm more interested in getting a copy of the update to Toast / Calkulin / the rest of the heavy hitters, so we can see about OFFICIAL 2.2 WITH ROOT
[EVO 4G General] edtate:
Zucchini? Wow, htc must've ran out of deserts lol. I thought they would have moved on to fruit by then.....
[EVO 4G General] Fixter:
They ran out of fruits after desserts... ^^
[EVO 4G General] MrDSL:
HTC is actually now ACME here in the future :p
[EVO 4G General] Doward:
Well, just realized that my version number was 1.17.xxx from SimpleRoot, so flashing back to 1.32 RUU and going through the updates. I'll go up to 1.47 and check again for FroYo, unless someone else posts it up first. For now, I'm getting a big ass drink and settling back for a few moments.
[EVO 4G General] akiradavis:
That sounds like a lot of work dude
[EVO 4G General] spiicytuna:
too much if you ask me
[EVO 4G General] Doward:
Downloading 1.47 update now. I'll check for more updates once that's completed.
[EVO 4G General] m03sizlak:
,Wrong CST and CDT are different!
[EVO 4G General] skydeaner:
well, i am officially upset. Why even release a time if you aren't going to follow it?

I live in CST lol, trust me it is 12:18
[EVO 4G General] akiradavis:
I can wait until Calkin gets his hands on it. His 2.1 ROM is butter smooth. But I do also switch Roms almost every 3 days
