Sprint rolling out minor bug fix for the HTC EVO 4G

"androidandmedotcom/2010/09/carriers/sprint/sprint-rolling-out-minor-bug-fix-for-the-htc-evo-4g"
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...
http://www.engadget.com/2010/09/22/sprint-outs-evo-4g-and-hero-updates-evo-framerate-cap-might-be/

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?

i'm running myn's with one of netarchy's kernels and i'm having trouble with it, too. i have a feeling you might even need to reflash to a stock kernel, upgrade, then flash back to whatever you use daily.

it would be pretty sweet if some one made flashable ZIP's to download through ROM Manager *clockwork*that would update these kind of things!

update profile just sets up your phone to authenicate with the EVDO channels. Once it is done you do not need to do it again unless you wipe out your data settings some how.
Prls are stored in a different location then what a flashable zip could touch from what I understand.

Yeah i think your right, I was assuming*mistake* that it was similiar to flashing updated radios... curious as to know why though*just wondering for personal knowledge

If u flash eng-pc36img, it will put your prl back to 60662. If we could put newest prl in that....rcdata I think

Anyone else have a 01115 prl?
Strange to me.

Yes. Its the newest.

I agree but i guess thats the price you pay to get the stock 2.3.4 right now

I spent most of the weekend researching what to do about this very thing. I was rooted but stock rom. I figured I needed a decision on what I was going to do before the OTA arrived.
After a lot of research I decided to go full S=off and install the Virtuous Unity ROM. I like Sense and it is a 3.0 ROM. If you wait for TMOB you'll only get 2.1.
EVERYTHING in this ROM works. None of the
"YOU GET THREADED TEXT MESSAGES!!! but the camera doesn't work"
Like in the bad old days of windows rooting.
I only wish I'd done this 6 months ago.

Yea every thing works but im wondering wit s off no root what can u do ?

Is it your intention to return to stock and run the phone unrooted with the 2.3.4 update or are you just concerned about having 2.3.4 on your phone? If you are looking for the most recent version of of Android OS, then MIUI is currently running 2.3.5... If you havent tried GenerationX mysense ROM, it is the newest update with bloat removed and i think there isnt anything broken with the faux's .7 kernel. Try it if you like stock, I bet you will like it.

I just want to get this straight, if someone can give an answer. My wife's phone currently has iced glacier and I want to go stock GB. If I take the phone to a Tmo store and ask for the update, it will take the phone back to stock and unroot? If so should I at least uninstall super user?

You could go to the store or you can download the same T Mobile sdcard update that Gr33nF0x posted http://megaupload.com/?d=N8XGHXJC (IF YOU ARE ROOTED YOU WILL LOSE IT)
1. Download the PD15IMG.zip file posted
2. Put file on the root of your sdcard (don't put it in any folder)
3. go to settings/applications make sure fastboot is unchecked (on 2.2.1)
4.power off
5. push and hold volume down and power till you get into hboot
6. it will scan file when its done it should ask you to update push volume up

The answer is yes. If you load the update, whether download the one on the forums here or update at T-mo you will lose root. No need to uninstall superuser, because the update will wipe all data.

Its my wifes phone and dosent need to mod it just needs to work properly. If I was to go the route of updating it with the rooted update, would I just need to flash through CW? To be honest I don't have much expreince with this phone as you can tell by how old her current rom is. Atleast with my phone its pretty much unbrickable, on this phone I wouldn't know how to recover if it did. I figure if tmobile does the update they are responsible for it. Is someone willing to post the steps for me?

how do you know this will be official gb?

My Wife's phone is not rooted can I flash this on hers? so she gets GB sooner? Is this what is going to be loaded on her phone when ever it is officially released, and downloaded by the software upgrader?

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.

If I were to use this and decided to go back to MR2 would that be possible, or would I be stuck on gb till official release? I am unrooted running MR2

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".

Google Voice is a good alternative. Kinda glad this bug was in these builds cuz it got me using GV

Agree, How do we know this is the Official.. There is a lot of speculation data available I.E. Possible the 30th is the day etc. but a concrete answer would be helpful for your post.

A lot of people throw around the term official as a way of saying, an unadultered leak.

Will I lose S-off if I flash this?

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.

I have the original 61007.prl (809C414E_sp.rl0) but am unable to upload it. I'm told "invalid file type." I used one of the latest prls but would have issues with failed texts and being unable to make calls to a Tmobile number so I've switched back.

Pardon my newb-ness but my question is simple. How do I go about flashing this? Is it straight through CWM, Odin, etc...?
Just for reference I'm on AOKP build 39 w/ stock Kernel.

Not a dumb question at all. But as far as I know, PRLs still can't be flashed without a computer and a program called QPST - there is an old thread about it somewhere around here that provides a full guide, if you'd like more information. I don't have the link handy, but try googling "xda how to update your prl epic 4g" - that should return the correct page.

Ok copy the link. Tried everything explained there. Most outdated. On CM10 at least, you must dial *#*#8778#*#* (instead of what was listed) to get to the hidden menus and on Win7, Control Panel/Device Manager there's no ports listed. I did however see under general properties of USB H (which was where my phone was hooked to in charging mode, i.e. not in USB Storage) that the port was listed as Port_#0001.hub#0003. I tried single digit numbers, 4 digit numbers, but to no avail at adding a new port. So that was an hour wasted. I don't know, maybe it's not worth the trouble. I even tried the CM9 multiboot FC09 method and from CWM the zip file starts to install and then aborts every time. Maybe the CM folks will come up with a new method for updating PRLs in CM10.

Oh, good point about the outdated info - it still works on older roms, but I forgot to check whether it worked with CM10 (to be honest, I was thinking about the temp boot and forgot to mention it). I would guess that the easiest method would be the temp boot (I know that works, as that's how I connected with QPST in the past), but we would need to figure out why it isn't working for you (for example, is it incompatible with the newer CWM included with CM10, or is there some other problem local to your phone? I'll try the temp boot, if I can get it to work then we can start troubleshooting your setup, and so forth).
So if you want to try to figure this out, I'll do what I can to help. If you just want to update your PRL (to the latest official, rather than a corporate or non-standard PRL), then you can flash the crespo patch and modem, boot up and dial *22803 and *22805 (one updates data profile, the other does PRL, but I can't remember which), then flash an epic modem and reflash CM10 (in that order, unless you prefer to odin the modem - the crespo patched kernel is what allows modem flashing in CWM). Not the most convenient method, but it is a more recent method that definitely works. But like I said, I'll try to help you figure out QPST if you still want to use a non-standard PRL - just let me know
Sent from my SPH-D700 using xda app-developers app

Thanks! Actually I just want the ability to keep up todate the most current PRL. So whatever is the easiest...I was really hoping the FC09 sdcard boot was going to work. Do you think that can be modified for CM10?

Bbelos suggested a method in Development requiring flashing a CM9 kernel to get the sd card boot to work.

Update PRL and Calibrate Sensors for CM9 / CM10
Updated to work with CM10. For those of you who already have the multiboot files on your sdcard, I have supplied an "upgrade" zip that contains only the modified files. It is not a CWM flashable zip, just extract the files to your /sdcard/multiboot/FC09 directory.
The updated v4 files will still work from CM9, but CM9 users do not need to update at this time unless you want to
