Android Market - EVO Shift 4G General

I've been searching all over the tubes of the internet for a way to force my wife's evo shift 4g to update her age old market app. She's running 2.3.4 (whereas my rooted EVO 4g is running 3.4.something). I've tried many methods for rooting her phone but has so far been unsuccessful.
Is there a way I can force her market app to update to the latest version? Can someone with a stock evo shift 4g tell me their version of the market?
I would greatly appreciate it. TIA.

Well if you want the latest Android Market 3.4.4. I've attached it below .

I've also wondered this, is there a way to actually force the market app to update. I know I can just install the new apk, but it seems weird for the market to not auto update itself sometimes, and for there not to be a way to force it to update.

Never tried to Force an Update. Always found it easier to just update via the newest apk release.

Most markets don't auto update from what i've seen. My dads market is still the really old one and so is a couple of my friends

Couldn't force an update on her phone but I was able to install the attached apk. Thanks for the link!

My market never use to update itself and then one day it just started updating itself for no reason at all. But only on rooted roms. Now I'm always getting the updates before people even post them as seperate apk's. A lot of times I won't even notice that it updated itself lol. If I restore my non-rooted ruu rom it won't update itself. Very strange.

No Updates on Fresh Updater?!

Well, I just reinstalled Fresh 3.1.0.1 in hopes of getting PRI (1.40) with no success. Decided to give up after the 5th try. Now I'm trying to install the new Google Search and Voice Search as well as the new Facebook. I remember the update for that being on Fresh Updater. However, now I'm not showing any updates on it whatsoever. I tried checking Experimental ROMs and updating the ROM Update Server with no success.
Any ideas?!
Anyone? Please...

Are you trying with the new updated market?
If so go into settings>applications>manage applications>market
Then click uninstall updates. Then try. Your market will update itself again and should be fine.. this worked for me anyway!

Thanks, Man! Worked like a charm.
This was driving me nuts and I did not want to factory reset the phone.
Just to share, I encounter my download list blank when I enter the market this morning.
So I uninstall the update and enter the market again, I stay there for a while to browse through the different apps then later, it log out by itself and the market icons on my home page update to the new icon by itself.

the new market looks really screwy, at first i was stuck at the "starting download" screen and it won't download, so i did as you advise w/ the uninstall update trick
now i downloaded and installed the app, but now in the market it's stuck at the installing screen

thanks this worked for me
but do you know what causes the issue?? I couldn't figure it out.
I did encounter download problem as most of the apps I tried to install were not successful so I uninstall the market updates by accessing the application menu and uninstall the updates.
After that, I have no problem downloading the updates or installing it but the market seems not updating it to the new version even though I left it for a while but I guess Google might be sorting out the new market issues.
hmm... I just tried to update something and it was unsuccessful. It worked fine until today.
Tried to download a different app then the updating one, same thing.
Tried your way, but there's no "uninstall updates" when I tick on Market. I can only clear the cache, and that doesn't help. So, what gives?
Its annoying because its done it three times for me!!
Ive uninstalled the updates and its turned back to stock 1.6 market, then it works, then the market updates itself to the 2.1 icons and it still works ok, but after a few days it stops workinga gain!
Really hacking me off!
I'm still trying it out... Started to download the Weather channel app (first app I found). It DL-ed 2% (around 10KB), then stopped saying Download paused, now it resumed to 51KB and it's paused again!
I mean, seriously?
What is going on?
EDIT: It's reachead 95KB. Since I don't have a network issue, I'll assume that the Market is lagging (at least here).
EDIT2: It reached 1,07 MB.
EDIT3: Installing.
So, in conclusion, the Market is lagging, bigtime
EDIT4: Still doesn't want to update the 2 apps that require updating

G2 Gingerbread OTA starts today

I found this on T-Mobile's G2 Support Community:
http://support.t-mobile.com/docs/DOC-1809
"On July 27, T-Mobile G2 devices will begin to receive an Over-The-Air (OTA) update to Android 2.3.3 (Gingerbread). The update will roll out to customers in waves over the coming weeks.
The update provides the following enhancements and improvements.
New features:
Android 2.3.3 (Gingerbread)
Tell HTC
Google Books added
Notification bar color scheme is changed to black
New battery indicator, phone, and web icons
Color-coded network icon and signal indicator added. Green when connected to Google servers. Grey when not connected.
Pressing the power key while on a call disables the proximity sensor
Fixed or improved issues:
Wi-Fi calling improvements
New SMS and email notification improvements
Improvements to sending MMS from the Gallery
Your phone will show a notification when you have received the update. Alternately, to check if your phone has the update, follow these steps:
From Home screen, press the Menu key.
Tap Settings.
Tap About Phone.
Tap System Updates.
Important: Do NOT call T-Mobile to receive the update before September 1. The timeline for receiving the OTA cannot be expedited. T-Mobile cannot manually push the software to customers who ask to receive it.
Software upgrades at retail stores
Beginning August 5, you will be able to go to a T-Mobile retail store to update your T-Mobile G2, T-Mobile myTouch 3G Slide, and T-Mobile myTouch 4G to the most recent software version. This helps if you have not gotten the Over-The-Air (OTA) update or if you cannot perform the USB tethered update.
If the OTA or tethered update fail, here is what to expect at the retail store:
Updating at the store can erase all the data on the device. The SD card will not lose data.
Back up your data, synchronize your contacts to Google or T-Mobile Backup, and write down the names of all the applications you will want to re-install.
The update can take up to 30 minutes to complete.
The update requires that your phone has over 50% battery life at the store.
The rep at the retail store will:
Remove your personal SD card.
Insert a software update SD card.
Wait for the update to download and install on the device.
Remove the software update SD card.
Insert your personal SD card again."
Excited for 2.3 - stock is fantastic. The only issue remains that I need root to run VPN Connections for work. So close! Thanks for posting.
If you get the OTA and are reading this (or have read it), please post back your region and when you got the OTA.
thanks!!
Yay for you stock people! Will give you guys a nice fresh device.

What other ROMS can someone rooted run that will defeat/prevent download and loss of root?
Are ROMS based on the .5 and .8 leaks safe? Or do we need CM or miui?

The location of the person never mattered, it's completely random based on EMEI or some such.
I am just waiting for someone to post the direct link so I can manually update the G2 my wife inherited from me.
i was about to say the same thing, location DOES NOT matter in the least. I think it's partly first-come, first served based on check-in (*#*#CHECKIN#*#* to force it) and also IMEI based too. But most importantly, I also would like to see the manual update ZIP, as well as the version.
Don't worry about rooting 2.3.3 we've already done that, and it's great that the G2 is seeing a update for those stock users
I want to stay rooted with my GB CM nightly. It is really close to perfection, and now since Netflix is working smooth as butter, there is no reason to change. Since im running the latest nightly, would I see something that I would click to download?

If you aren't on stock you won't get the update. CM strips out the ability to receive otas, would get a lot of bricks if they didn't.

New Firmware Update 8.6.5.18-20111028

I just got this update today. I noticed a new market and an app called App Backup. Any other changes?
If this is a duplicate or doesn't belong here....then sorry and please delete.
Edit - cannot get App Backup to work successfully....multiple tries and nothing doing.
I am verifying the existence of the update and am downloading now.. hopefully this one fixes the deep sleep problem at the very least. Thanks for the heads uo sir!

It's new firmware for my TW sku. Seemed to fix the battery drain issue of docked tablet.

Downloading now. USA East.
App backup failed for me as well. Tried data only and app and data. Failed both times...
*Edit* Thanks to Sanderfox for posting the changes in Firmware Update (FOTA) changelog
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=19046811&postcount=1066
Apart from the changes mentioned by @weaseltt the browser seems to be properly recognized with 'desktop' user agent string.
Seems to be all positive for now.. I docked mine and re-ran the update but there seems to be no update for the dock firmware.

I can download, but I am rooted so it fails. I wonder if Supercurios repacker would work to turn and Asus update into a clockwork update zip or if someone could repack the update to work with clockwork.

Market seems to work fine so far. The app backup has failed on four tries, however. Will investigate further.
Yes, got the update n HK......
I wonder if App Backup is prepping us for the upgrade to the TF2?
"allows user to backup apps and app data, then restore to another Asus tablet."
No update in Norway yet :-(

Absolutely, and it's brilliant. This kind of thought process is what has me hoping that they've managed to make the current dock compatible with the Prime as well.
Took quite a while to check for updates, and then came back saying no update is available. Servers must be getting hammered.

I'm not sure if anyone's noticed, but the browser seems much faster and responsive loading pages and typing on web pages. Before the lag was atrocious, but it's muuuuuch better now. Pages seem to load more quickly and scroll smoother. Can anyone else confirm?
I am rooted & I was able to download the update. However, the updates does start & the screen shows the file unpacking with the little Android dude. Then the the install fails. There is a triangle with an exclamation mark in the center with the Android dude. I am assuming that this means that the update failed. I am able to reboot thankfully. However how can I install the update?

[ironic-mode-on] Why at EVERY single update since May, users keep saying that "...default browser is much faster....input lag is almost null...very responsive...etc."? [ironic-mode-off]
P.S. I haven't received the update yet, so i did NOT tested it.

Maybe you have changed some system file and now the sanity check of the update fails. You have to wait until someone upload the update .zip file.

Can you copy 'dlpkgfile' out of /cache and post it on here please mate. Then I can mod it so you will be able to flash it and still keep root. The other devs could make use of this too.

I can't really speak for other users, but the stock browser is definitely working and responding faster for me. It could have something to do with the wifi being upgraded in this latest firmware or something they fixed with the browser, but it's definitely noticeable on my end since I use the tablet daily to surf the web. Also it used to take forever to type in text boxes on the stock browser and now for me it's almost instant. Also EVERY user experience is different (most likely since May), so ironic or not it's still a good thing for other users to report what they're experiencing with new firmware upgrades.
