So as an over eager kid wanting PRI 1.40, I unrooted myself to see if it would work. As you may know it didn't. So after waiting and waiting for a 2.2 exploit I decided to take my chances with a refurb. I called up Sprint and informed them I had a burn spot on my screen. They asked me for my hardware version and once I stated I had 002, the rep immediately on my side for a replacement. I asked if I could pick it up from the store and he said know problem since the ticket will appear when they have my info. So at the store (42nd st. NYC) the tech knew nothing about EVOs and kept saying we are out of stock. So I asked for a manager and told her I just want to be placed on the next batch. In 2 days it was delivered; a refurb 003 (I could tell from the back cover I told the rep this important **info**. "O BTW I will update at home ok?" That right there saved my root. From an unrooted 2.2 HW 002 to a Fresh/KingKernal 2.2 HW 003...

Cool story, bro. Wrong forum though. Throw this in Dev and see it light up.
Can't you use the HTC-supplied stock ROM RUU and just flash all the way back to stock, then do nand-unlocking and all that good stuff again?

couldn't have said it better myself. you didn't root the ota 2.2. you exchanged your phone
so you had your phone exchanged for no reason other than you purposefully installed the 2.2 ota then decided you didnt want it?
there are people out there starving for an evo, and you go to the buffet and pile on some 2.2 that you knew you'd probably toss? now some evoless soul has to wait for your original phone to be checked out and repackaged, and that ragamuffin with the Mogul and a full upgrade burning a hole in his pocket at the back of waiting list at that store has to wait even longer. all he wanted was a little android so his kids could play some new phone apps every once in a while. you are terrible - you did not think about the children!!!

i had emailed Sprint on a general inquire and asked about the 2.2 for the Epic. the response was that the "device" had no release date and to check back frequently on new device releases.
they actually thought i asking about a phones release. lol
They absolutely do not. I called a while ago because I was stuck on dg17 and I couldn't update OTA. I spoke with a rep and at first she said the new version isn't out yet (I assume she was talking about froyo). After I explained that I know froyo 2.2 isn't out yet and I actually have an outdated version of 2.1, she did a 'search' and was like, your your phone shows that its up to date. I said, no, I'm actually like 3 versions behind everyone else. Di18 is the current baseband version of 2.1 on the Epic. Then she put me on hold to bring a tech expert on the phone. He not so kindly told me updates are handled through the manufacter and I need to contact them. At that point I realized xda is the only way to go

I had a very similar experience when I went to a Sprint store to get my phone updated from DG17. Long story short, no one at the store knew what they were talking about and I wasted over 2 hours dealing wth them. Got home, looked at XDA and was on DI18 in less than 10 minutes smh.
Sprint employee at my local store rolled her eyes and shook her head in disgust when I asked when 2.2 would officially release for the Epic. Lol.

Does anyone know how many EB13 updates actually went through OTA? Im just thinking that they just figure anyone with that botched version has already visited the sprint store and returned to DI18... and im sure they wouldn't take responsibility for the Samsung .exe. I just hope they didn't ignore EB13 instead making updates for DG27, etc... just because they are official... they should just tell sales reps to check the OS version (lol i know), in case they have old stock that still has that preloaded. I just hope they do whatever the hell theyre going to do, and call it good. That way the real Devs here, not the paid ones, can fix/improve on what they did. I think they are just getting us all too wrapped up in updates, which is really just slowing XDA development.
*deleted rant about sprintsung.... its all been said* All I have to say, is its going to take a REALLY badass SGS2, preloaded with the highest OS version possible at launch, or Im looking at the already outdated hardware of the Nexus or see if I can deal with the non-amoled of the evo3d. These updates bum me out.

This is an email that I recieved from HTC after emailing them asking about the sense 2.0 update (some things removed from it for my privacy):
Dear ,
Good question! We understand how important it is to have the latest updates for your device.
I'm happy to inform you that your phone, the HTC Evo is definately on our list to recieve the 2.3 Android OS update. This update is expected to include an update to the Sense UI.
At this time, we don't have an exact launch date. However, we estimate that it will be available in the second quarter of 2011 (anywhere from the beginning of April, to the end of June), assuming that there are no major setbacks. Once we have a better idea of when this update will be availble for your phone, we'll be sure to announce it through Facebook (http://www.facebook.com/htc) and Twitter (http://www.twitter.com/htc), and of course, HTC.com.
Thank you for taking the time to contact us.
To send a reply to this message or let me know I have successfully answered your question log in to our ContactUs site using your email address and your ticket number.
Sincerely,
Megon

Uhmmm what? If i wanted the iphone i would have gotten it already. Screens to small. Os is eh.. i have an itouch for apps and music so there is no plus there. The evo is getting gingerbread...
So what about the iphone 3g? Apple is no longer supporting that phone either. hmm...
The fact that you're posting in forums designed specifically to incite interest in rooting phones and installing the latest firmware tells me you are either an idiot or troll, op.
Likely both.
I don't have an iPhone so, well, I'm not sure I'll ever have an iPhone.

Have fun with your iPhone. One less troll on xda.
Whaaaa? I thought April Fool's Day was on the first. In so far as I can tell, the only thing Apple has to offer that Android doesn't is the number of higher quality games, and that gap is shrinking in a big hurry. Beyond that, my Evo does everything an iPhone does, and I don't have to put up with AT&T or Verizon. Bonus!
And at any rate, didn't Apple and AT&T brick a bunch of iPhones last year with OTAs?
Yea, and they will brick it remotely if its jailbroken now too, bunch of phone-nazis!

The evo will not be the first to get the GB update, but we should get it eventually

When I went to a store and my phone was in a boot-loop, the guy asked me if I flashed the wrong ROM. I told him it was bone stock (which was true) and that I have never rooted it. He told me that you no longer have to unroot to bring the phone in for them to service it.
just came back from supermarket saw one of my favorite mags pcmag and it had an artical on how good it is to root your phone so i guess the time is coming close to unlocked phones for all

May depend on the store. Last time I went to the store (usb port broken) the manager at the front of the store looked at the phone and asked me if it had been rooted. I said "no, it's not rooted." If they serviced rooted phones then why ask? I think she asked me because when she unlocked it she saw launcher pro instead of the rosie. I unrooted (S-ON), flashed the stock 2.2 image, then removed the ext3 partition and formatted the sd card before bringing the phone to them.

quite funny on how you did a search, this Topic is plastered all over xda and android central about not being able to root with a 2.3.3
On the other hand, i've heard plenty of rumors that they 2.3.3 was recalled and they are not updating now.. which sucks because I got mine with a 2.3.3 and hate not being rooted
But will HTC really unlock the 4G now that the 3D is out? I've not been able to find anything anywhere that specifically states that the 4G will be unlocked in the future. I'm pestering them on Facebook and so far they've refused to say that they have any intentions of unlocking the bootloader.
i doubt htc will unlock evo 4g. this will have to be done by devs.
htc said they will try to unlock future phones... not past phones.
it started with evo3d & sensation.
locked htc botloader is not new... evo 4g has always had it...this new one must have some type of new security.
It is too bad that they can't put the previous bootloader back on the phone through an update or something. At least that could be worked through.
