While Samsung Captivate owners are grabbing their GPS fix, HTC EVO 4G owners might want to check their handsets for an update as well. Sprint is pushing out a new update (3.29.651.5) today which should address some issue that EVO users have been complaining about for a while.
The minor update fixes the calendar editing and multiple Gmail account sync problems. I have not been able to download the new firmware update yet, but if you want to manually check for the update, follow the steps below. As usual, Sprint is being pretty quiet about the update, so we have no indication as to how fast it will be rolling out to all HTC EVO 4G users.
Manually check for System Update
From the home screen, press Menu
Select Settings
Scroll down and select System updates
Select Firmware update
Engadget is suggesting possible FPS fix...

Will update potentially eliminate Unrevoked 3.21 Root?
I've not heard a decisive answer on this one. But is it safe to assume that a Sprint update will reverse my EVO's rooting via Unrevoked 3.21 or possibly cause problems with the device?
Not firmware update....HTC software update
Wow, there is an update coming out today. Would have never known if it wasn't for all the other posts about this in the correct section......

Ok So It Will Be Able To Be Rooted
How bout somebody who can get it download it but not install and post it here so me r some other dev can root it so nobody has to worry about losing anything
It does unlock 30fps but I wonder if the kernels we have now are still better? I have no problems whatsoever with Kings#9.

It'll probably be in your sdcard download or downloads folder. Then usb it or email it to a pc (generic sense) then post it. I haven't tried to load attachments from the evo to the forum, though that would also be a method. You may even be able to use "share"..
So can I install this on my full root fresh Rom and be good to go, or do I have to wait till fresh puts out an update.zip with this included?

No you will loose root wait until a dev releases a update.zip of the Rom
The Unrevoked folks have confirmed the update fixes the 30fps cap:

I'm still waiting on the update. Dose it matter if I'm rooted or not and wll I lose root when the update hits?
I have had no update to my firmware as of yet.

2 things. Did I miss the update being released? And I have yet to load a leak because I need infrastructure wifi. The update will remove your root and you will need to re root after you get it. Also, the update probably won't install ota if you aren't running stock rom/kernel. At least the other updates haven't installed with modified stuff.

I thought 2.2 was suppose to b pushed nov 11 if I'm not mistaken. And I'm still running everything stock just rooted.
Could any one reccomend a good coustom 2.2 kernal to flash to? I don't think I wanna wait too long for 2.2
2.2 source is not out yet. No custom kernels until it's released.

I've been using the quantum rom for a couple days now and the only problem I've had so far is it force closes when I try to use my flashlight program. Other than that everything works great so maybe you should flash it if you want 2.2 right now.

the OTA hasnt been pushed yet. if you are rooted already, you will lose root.
if you're not running custom ROM/kernel you won't get the OTA.

I stand corrected.. oversight on my part. Custom ROM/kernel will not get the OTA notification.
If you have the stock ROM/kernel, you'll get the OTA notification.
If you're rooted and using stock ROM, you'll lose root. Might lose custom recovery as well, but I'm not sure on that.
What I'd recommend, if you ARE rooted and you have custom recovery (clockwork), then wait for the release (like we all are) and it WILL show up here.
The Devs/chefs are all over this and waitng just like everyone else.
Patience is the key.
I flashed back to 2.1 stock last night. I'm going to wait for 2.2 OTA before I root again. Then I will wait a couple weeks until some nice stuff gets cooked up here on xda and is nice and stable before I flash any custom 2.2 items. I can wait.
I'm pretty sure everyone is waiting..
Yeh I guess ill just wait...guy at the sprint store promised 2.2 by the end of october and 4g by the end of november. I guess they will say any thing to sell a phone -__-

I have been twiddling my thumbs for weeks waiting for the 2.2 OTA update. I got so impatient one night that I started downloading the necessary tools to root and install a leaked 2.2 version, but quickly settled down and decided to wait it out.
I also downloaded Samsung Kies; I am running Windows 7 64-bit, and the program will not boot from the .exe under any conditions (as administrator, under XP compatabilities, etc)... I have yet to even be able to see the program's interface or find any legitimate documentation for troubleshooting the software.
No complaints with the phone yet, but I am seriously disappointed that I have had to wait so long for 2.2... Samsung claims that this update will allow for quicker future Android updates, but I am taking that with a grain of salt considering the false announcements that have been made so far regarding its official release.

okay...we already knew this was true, but i have a question.
When the real froyo comes out, will we have to flash back to the DI18 stock w/ Odin or will we be able to update the manual way like we did for this "test"? (I know it wouldn't show up in the system updates notification)
Since ur probably gonna root and load a custom rom anyway, pretty sure u can just wait for the rom packages to be updated and go straight from dk28

Yea, but doing that will inevitably lead to problems. The best way to do it is to return to DI18 and let Android update you the normal way, then root, then install whatever rom you want. If DK28 has taught us anything, its that trying to take the shortcut leads to non functional GPS and other problems.
Which means we'll probably be getting the final build of froyo in a few months judging by the current rate of progress. SOOOOOOO tired of waiting.
I checked the Sprint forums.
One of the admin suggests that the official update will be released within 3 weeks at the least, unless there's problems. Which...there will be -_-
Looks like we are finally gonna get the official GB update.
It will start pushing the 20th but as of the 17th you can manually update by going to MENU>SETTINGS>SYSTEM UPDATES>HTC SOFTWARE UPDATE

Well yes if you install the OTA .. No if you wait for the great Devs to make a stock rooted ROM
Thanks for the heads up. It's about time they said something. Sounds good, but I'll wait till our Devs get there hands on it. Don't want the same issues some people are having with the EVO 4G update. Don't want to lose root, and have to wait.

Yes, but if you do the OTA and have the new HBOOT you have to wait to root. I'd raher just wait for the Devs.

The leak that is over in the Android Dev section has sense 2.1. I wouldn't expect the final release to have anything different.
This will be good once the kernel source comes out, and we can get some overclocking going.
Also, once the kernel source comes out, this should give the kingdom rom port a shot in the arm, as we will be able to OC that rom, and make it run like it should run.

Shift deck is AOSP, right? This is the sense rom update. You should only update to this rom if you want a sense rom again.
I will be waiting to install it as well. The root process on this phone is already involved enough. It will probably be a long time, if ever, before it gets rooted again after they patch the root method we are currently using.
The one thing I am curious about is if we are stock rooted will we be able to ignore the notifications about updating or is it going to constantly notify us to update forever?
According to Sprint's twitter account, the OTA is available now. I'm rooted, so I'm not going to mess with it, but for anyone who isn't rooted, and wants it, go get it...

Yeah, it should work just fine. It'll update her's from Froyo to this Gingerbread build and when the official version is released by Verizon/HTC, she should not have any problems updating.

Good question! I'm assuming the OP just means that it's "official" in that it was made by HTC and hasn't been modified. I haven't read anywhere else that the 2.11.605.0 release will be the OTA release.

They will be termed "buggy" in my opinion until the VM notification is fixed. If you're using this phone in a business environment it's more "catastrophic" than "buggy".

I beg to differ. I've gotta bug (that could be the result of user error, but I don't think so) When I get a call, no one can hear me unless I'm on speaker or Bluetooth. I haven't seen any posts from anyone else with that issue, but it's been only since I flashed this leak.
Edit: I noticed someone else had the same prob on the previous build and wiping then reflashing fixed it. My 4g is working much better... Hopefully voice and sporadically missing texts are fixed too.
