Verizon Statement on Froyo

Anyone else thinking its not going to happen?
They just started the iPhone hype so I'm pretty sure nearly all of their resources are going toward that.
AT&T will probably have an official statement first...

You honestly think that the iPhone release will take out all of their resources that they can't make a statement about the release or status of the update? Pondering things like these leads nowhere, that has become more than evident with all of these froyo threads. They are full of speculation and made up conspiracies because people are so absorbed by the thought of companies withholding froyo from them. Enjoy your phone, rom it and change things to your liking...when we get froyo, we get froyo. I really dont understand why people need to make endless threads about this.

They should make some sort of filter that prevents you from posting if Froyo is in the title... or heavy moderation, this is getting ridiculous.

This was a major let down! As the title states, I was expecting to read a public announcement on the update from Verizon. Total waste of time.

Wow I really thought they released a statement... smh at the owner of this topic

I dont really post much, but I must get this out, WTF is up with BOTH samsung and verizon.
Verizon isn't just the one accountable for it, Samsung is as well,they are slow on updates.
LG just released the 2.2 froyo update for possibly the worst phone ever made the LG Ally.
The other thing I'm not getting is why the development is slow for the fascinate, are people just not that interested in the phone as other phone's ? No disrespect for the developers. I'm just stating that other phones have had 2.2 for a LONG time and the fascinate is just barely getting into 2.2 development.
Dont tell me its because GSM and CDMA are different. Honestly I have ported GSM to CDMA android phones just fine, yes it takes some time. Right now im currently looking into how the samsung is all set up so I can take a shot at some things..
end rant...

I believe your talking about porting a rom from a GSM phone to a cdma phone.... what's up with the fascinate is way more then that.....

Anybody who starts yet another of these complaint/conspiracy threads should be auto-banned.

Sent from my SPH-D700 using XDA Premium App

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.

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!

most threads say that the update will be released about the 20th of June. I was really surprised that the evo 4g had the Gb release before the Evo 3d came out. I think that the reason the Evo 4g is not getting sense update to atleast 2.x is that sprint wants them to get the newer shift (sense 2.x) or the newer evo 3d with 3.x sense. I wish our GB had TW 4 in it. I have used the leaked TW 4 and like it but wish the widgets for feeds work as i cant find any other replacement feeds that are somewhat like it. The ones for fb and tweeter are too small.... any ideas...

Sprint has told me many things... And I believe that the person telling me believed they were being truthful. Just in the past 2 weeks:
* The Airave does not use the internet for voice calls. It connects to towers in your area. The internet connection and GPS are for location purposes only.
* We will credit you $25 for next month and the month after if you upgrade your phones this weekend. I will call you 4:30p on Tuesday to confirm. No call.
* I do see in your notes that we agreed to credit you $50 if you upgraded two phones but only one time. There is no way we can credit you another $50. (we go back and forth). Ok, I'll give you a credit now and another credit for next month. Do you want an email confirmation? Hell Yes! No email received
The Sprint guy probably doesn't know the difference between the Evo and the Epic. They both start with "e" afterall...

Is it April 1st again?

knowing how long 2.3.3 has been without root and how many phones are affected by the OTA and knowing how anxious everyone is to find root, you never thought to yourself, "hmmm these boards are probably going to be littered with threads about someone FINALLY finding root"...? jesus christ, use your f'ing head.

I see this is turning in to troll city..lol

Short answer... NO. No one cares about the og EVO anymore. Atleast not enough to root it because it would have been done already if they did.

just boycott htc and upgrade to another phone when you can, also if at all possible make sure to let sprint know DIRECTLY (by email dumbasses, not the store manager whos going to forget about anything bad you tell him by the time you walk out of the store) about how disgusted you are with the latest OTA, if you can exchange your phone a couple of times (cost them money) , and let them know that "their" software updates might make you not take them in the future at all, you can go all out and tell them how now you actually want to root because of it, and how you might change companies if they are going to ruin your phones with their bloatwared software
htc doesnt give a ****, but sprint just might

I had a EVO that unfortunately was locked due to the bootloader changing with the 2.3.3 update but instead of waiting 1) we are talking about a device that has been out for a year, 2) the bootloader unlock that HTC promised which I don't believe included the OG EVO 4g. I think its about time to move on or wait for hopefully one of the many hackers out there to do there thing. I moved onto the Sensation 4g but in my personal opinion I believe that a lot of the hackers and developers are focused on the EVO 3D and The Sensation 4g then the EVO 4g.

There are stickies about rooting that will be updated when there is news. They even say "Updated mm/dd/yyyy" in the subject line to let you know when they are last updated. No need to post any questions about rooting, they just open the flood gate to stupidness and trolling.

Maybe someone with more knowledge than I can answer this.
When I had my Hero, it was rooted with s-on. I remember when they figured out the S-OFF thing, because it meant you would never lose root, if you flashed a RUU.
So I guess my question is, Why do we have to have S-OFF to be rooted?
Or was the unlocked bootloader used to obtain root in the first place?
