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...

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......

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

Go to phandroid
On the site there should be a topic about Epic's FroYo
The site will provide a link and instructions on how to get the update.
Hope this helps!

Cant wait to try it. downloading now.
First post on XDA!(although I may have had an old account at some point)
I know that the official VZW OTA release of this won't come out until what looks like April, and my current setup using launcher pro (paid) is Force Closing a lot. I had to download a .sbf a while back after I bricked my phone due to some ROM instal issue going horribly wrong. the .sbf I downloaded was 2.2.1 version 2.3.32.0.MB810.Verizon.en.US I got the download from mydroidworld.com/forums/droid-x-discussion/5633-droid-x-2-3-32-full-sbf.htm....aroundjanuary of this year posted by p3droid.
so now to my question:
in order to get the OTA of 2.3.3 when that hits later on this spring, do I need to have the latest OTA build as in 2.3.34 in order to upgrade to Gingerbread?
If i need to get 2.3.34, what's the best way of doing so?
many thanks!

[Q] I don't get root on my HTC Aria

Hi, I already used a lot of ways to get root on my HTC Aria but nothing.
When I try with unrevoked I take the following message: "Error: Failed to get root. Is your firmware too new?" in the final of the process, I already tested on Windows and Linux and I don't know what I can do more.
HTC Aria AT&T - Android 2.2.2
Someone have an ideia?
cant root official 2.2.2
There's no known way to root the Aria once it has the 2.2.2 update installed. Unfortunately there is nothing you can do about this.
Did you phone come with 2.2.2 out of the box? Did you update it? Did the store update it for you?
I updated to 2.2.2 using the HTC Aria Update.
My wife has a HTC Aria with 2.1. Do you know if I can get root with this version?

Yes sir. You can. Are you going to load a Rom? If you like HTC Sense, use FR008

Yes, Unrevoked will work on the Aria with 2.1 on it. That's the best way to root the Aria.
If it's important to you to be able to root both phones, you might consider taking it back to the store and seeing if they will exchange it for one without the update installed.
Can I make the downgrade to 2.1?

Nope, that phone is now unrootable, period. (Well, actually it's possible if you sent it to someone who has special hardware, but not something you could do on your own.)
Do you know if the next version of unrevoked will support 2.2.2?
No.but attn1 has a found a hardware solution to root and s-off the updated firmware.look at the 2.2 rooting thread.

[Q] Stock Gingerbread rom (not leaked version), rooted but otherwise untouched?

Ok, maybe I suck at searching, and if I missed it, I apologize, but...
Has anyone made a rooted version of the OFFICIAL (not leaked version) stock Gingerbread rom yet? I'm basically looking for the complete OTA update with no changes except root.
And please don't make fun... I actually LIKE some of the T-Mobile bloat, but much of it does me no good as I'm using the handset with Wind Mobile. I want to stay stock, but keep root so I can freeze/delete the bloat I don't need or want.
I suspect it's a little early in the OTA to be looking for this, but I thought it was worth a shot anyway.
Thanks
It's on the first page of the Dev section. Don't know how you missed it.

Aha! Found it.
Sorry. I read through that thread a while ago and saw that some were having issues with mail, so I moved on. Apparently that issue had been resolved since I first read that thread. My mistake.
Thanks for the help.
Now to figure out how to do this without bricking my phone..
Research time!

No problem. Although you should try VU if you haven't. Much more appealing than TMO's mySense.
EDIT: Wait, I notice that you're in Canada. So I'm assuming you have the HTC Panache? If so then I'm not sure if this would be compatible. Again I'm just assuming, just make sure.
Unlocked MyTouch 4G actually.
Main reason I'm sticking with stock is that I actually like the genius button feature and swype keyboard.

Rooted version installed today. Very easy, runs great. No mail app though so I switched to maildroid.

Thats not the official version that is being sent out OTA and via sdcard (at some retail locations) the official one:
Build-2.09.531.1 CL54593 release-keys
Software-2.09.531.1
Baseband: 12.55.60.25P_26.09.04.26_M
has yet to be uploaded, correct me if I am wrong. But telling people that is the official version being released by tmo is incorrect.

Yeah, I thought it was the OFFICIAL version myself. Now I have a few issues after flashing the ROM, and being a new member, I can't even let anyone know about it as I can't post in that thread....
1) Lost my Mail app. No big deal - I just installed Maildroid.
2) GPS isn't working. It's turned on, but I'm not getting a lock at all in either the coverage mapper app or Google maps. This IS a big deal.
If anyone has a solution to problem #2, please let me know.
*EDIT*
Here's what I got now:
Android version 2.3.4
Build number 2.19.531.1 CL95282 release-keys
Baseband version: 12.28b.60.140eU_26.03.02.26_M
Kernel version 2.6.35.10-g225de41

Well, the radio is definitely wrong comparing to the official version, and it looks like flashing the newest radio should fix the issue according to: http://forum.xda-developers.com/archive/index.php/t-1185039.html
So assuming that the newest radio is 12.55.60.25P_26.09.04.26_M, if I can find it then it should play nice with the rest of the updated ROM?
Alternatively, can I just download the Panache radio version or the Froyo radio I had before and flash one of them?
Sorry for the noob questions here, but I'm just getting into this and I'm trying to be careful. Files and directions I'm finding with no problems, but compatibility specifics are still a little beyond my reach.
You have stock radio. if you wanted updated radio for that you should have renamed the zip as pd15img and flash in hboot... I think... Please read the whole thread before doing so. anyways try flashing KC's version of the leaked tmo. btw radios are the top sticky in the android dev section.

LOL! ”I think” does not inspire confidence....
This whole thing is frustrating, and it's largely my own fault for just taking someone's word for it instead of checking myself.
Either way, what's done is done, and I'll just try to switch the radio and run as is until someone makes an untouched but rooted official stock version.
When and if that happens, I'll start fresh.
I'm not feeling up to setting up my phone from scratch yet again at the moment.

lol sorry i remember going through the thread over a month ago or so, and I was on my phone and too lazy to search it myself. I am still lazy to search it, but from my experience, KC's version is more "user-friendly" it's stock too, so give that a go.
I have a plan, but I understand that flashing a radio is somewhat of a risky procedure, so I'm looking for verification on a few things before I start.
As I said above, once someone comes out with a rooted but otherwise untouched OFFICIAL (final) Gingerbread stock ROM with radio, I'll just replace the whole mess, but until then....
So, I'm permarooted using visionary. S off checked in hboot. I do NOT have radio s off though, from what I've read - don't know if that really makes a difference.

Anything else I should know before I start that isn't in the thread?
Any help is appreciated as I can't afford to brick my phone right now, and I wouldn't be doing this except my GPS hasn't worked since I flashed the ROM, and I need it.
That's exactly how I did it; GPS is working fine now. Radio flash was very easy. S=off (without true radio s=off) is all you need. If you can figure out how to get radio s=off using this rom, lmk...

First link is football's leak, it is not rooted. I think you meant another thread.
2nd thread are just radios, they do not contains any roms. they're just radios stripped from those leaks and ruus.

Maybe I goofed on the first link - I'll correct it later, it's too hard to do on my phone.. Fat fingers...
As for the radios, I know. I don't want to flash the ROM again, just the radio to hopefully remedy my lack of GPS. Just wanted to make sure that that particular radio was compatible with the rooted stock Gingerbread ROM I flashed.
