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?

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 -_-
I one-clicked rooted my Epic and have DK28 installed. Since then I uninstalled some bloatware (amazon mp3, Nascar...) and installed Wifi Tether. So here comes the noobie question, what would happen if I just installed the OTA after the 26th (assuming this date is actually correct)?
PS. My GPS sucks right now, so, if the OTA is a horrible idea. Would using odin and going back to DI18 be possible with the root and uninstalled apps. From there I could flash back into DK28 and hope for some accurate GPSing.
Thanks for your Help
Cheers

once you root, you CANNOT RECIVEVE OTA's. you will have to flash another rom that has that OTA as a base for it.
So then do you suggest using something like odin to flash back to DI18?
I am sorry for my insane noobdome, very new to this whole business.

You get OTA's while rooted.. but if you've modified anything else you won't get the update.
So in order to get the OTA you will need to odin back to di18
Sent from my SPH-D700 using XDA App
You wont be able to get the OTA, but I would recommend just waiting a couple hours after the first OTAs get pushed and there will be few a pre-rooted, CW-redirected basically stock builds pushed out by the developers. Then you can just flash those, and they will be basically stock but have the root goodness and you wont have to go backwards just to go forwards. When the "official unofficial DK28" dropped, it was only a couple hours before devs had them out the door.
Dont worry about the ota ,wait until its rooted and cooked up for us it will be very quickly after it is released. Besides the ota inst coming Sunday anyway. we may see it sooner who knows.

That's not true. You can as long as you don't remove any sprint apps or flash a custom rom. Rooting does nothing but given what is essentially administrator (aka superuser) privelges. You will lose root once the ota hits, but I won't do anything to harm your device. However, it will with stck apps removed.
To answer the ops question though:
Download titanium backup from the market and backup your apps and data. Odin back to di18 and then use the same oneclickroot (assuming you got it from the sticky in development) to get root and reinstall titanium (it requires root). Run a Batch reinstall of all missing apps and data. Bingo. You'll have everything back to normal on di18.

Hey guys.
First of all, I am totally newb in rooting mobile devices. So maybe i've done something wrong.
Well... Yesterday i went to my sisters and her boyfriends house. He started messing around with my girlfriends HTC Wildfire, and he got it rooted in, practically, no time.
Then he started messing around with my X10. But we ran into some troubles.
He downloaded z4root and moved it to my SD card. Then he tried running it, just like he did on the wildfire, my sisters X10mini and his own Desire. We waited a little time and then z4root closed, and nothing more happend. We rebooted the phone and tried again. Same thing. Ok. We didn't go further there. Ofc he checked debugging and stay awake.
When we got home, i started looking for some guides myself, and i found a guide on xperiax10.net (can't link due to safety restrictions on this forum) But i needed to connect the phone to my pc, and download a exploid file. Then the rest happens in command promt from windows7.
It all went fine until i reached the step where I should text in "rootshell". Then i got the message: "Rootshell: Permission denied"...
Okay. I tried searching on for some other guides and programs. Then i got here. And now i have tried, if not all, then most of the guides here. Nothing in SuperOneClick works (tried 4 or 5 different versions), followed all the troubleshooting included in the guides (uncheck and check debugging and so on) and absolutely nothing seems to work
My x10 is running Android 2.1-update1, version 2.1.A.0.435
The phone is still running, but i can't figure out, why I can't root it. Want to get rid of all the pre installed apps and tweak it more.
Have i missed something, or is my phone just ****ed?
Any help is much appreciated. I'm lost here, and feels like i have tried anything.

Hey, I actually went into the same problem. and from what i've read. other users running the same firmware has run into this problem. So my guess is that with z4root, your x10 is currently 'unrootable', try using that superoneclick one. Someone claims he got .435 rooted

So basically... If i downgrade the firmware, I should be able to root it?
And regarding the superoneclick. I've tried 4 or 5 different versions. And i CAN'T get it running. So unless i'm doing something wrong, i doubt that he has rooted it?
Try the latest flash tool (0.2.6). It worked for me. Im running .435. I hope this help. Cheers.

Yes, you can but it's a pain in the butt. Go to this thread and then download the original stock firmware. Make sure USB debugging is turned on also.
To install the file you need to have HTC Sync installed and running. Double-click the file and it should recognize the phone and start installing after some input from you.
If you get a USB error, try booting into the bootloader and installing the exe in the same manner.
I just did this last night because I was in the same situation. It works.
Now you can re-root.

I guess I feel pretty lucky then. I'm fairly certain I didn't miss any steps.
When I upgraded to the gingerbread stock ROM I used this link and chose the "no hboot included" option. Maybe that saved me.

It's still the same update. Whether I installed it through an OTA update or from the bootloader doesn't matter.
You guys can get into the bootloader right? Take one of those modified "official" updates, rename it to PG06IMG.zip and flash it from the bootloader. Then do my first post and flash to Froyo so you can root again. May be worth a shot.

This has already been tried and covered in this thread here: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1142115&page=2
I posted the same link in the beginning of this thread.
Unless you have an engineering bootloader, like after you rooted, you can only flash an an un modified pg0610.zip from htc. So any one who took an over the air update is SOL on that front. Best hope now is that the evo 3d root can be applied here
