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......

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?

Can you root your new G2

I have rooted 17 G2's using unforgivens tutorial with visionary method with no issues. Last time i did this was a little over a month ago. We(business) upgraded, the other day, a bunch of our lines to G2's. I went to use this method like normal and can not get S-OFF. I tried two others thinking that there was something up with the first one. Could t-mobile be implementing something to block this on the newly distributed devices? I have a few more and will try with them tomorrow. Hopfully I'm wrong but has anyone else notice anything like this?

Because you're voiding your warranty...
Unless you want to revert to S-ON and everything back to stock, which is a pain in the behind.

You can't use visionary with the latest roms/radios.
You need to downgrade first:

The newer ROMs which are not (yet) rootable are versions 1.72 and above, and have only applied to the Desire Z (as far as the shipped ROM). The only existing T-Mobile G2 ROMs are 1.12 and 1.19 (both rootable using the "old" methods). To this point, there has not been any G2's which are not rootable due to security. So if in fact the new G2's are not rootable by design, it would seem that a new ROM was snuck in under the radar, or some other security implemented on these new units.

Just got a BRAND NEW g2 from tmobile yesterday and all the traditional methods worked so I'm thinking its something on your end...

I agree. I wouldn't want to deal with having to upgrade that many phones for people. I actually wouldn't give someone a rooted phone that couldn't root it themselves! On that note maybe this guy works for a software company or something and everyone knows what up? I dunno but I don't even let the guys at my work touch my phone.
Sent from my HTC Vision using XDA App

I really appreciate the responses guys as I have been slammed lately and not able to keep up in the know. To clarify, the main reason for root is battery life and cache cleaner ng(auto cleaning). Also having a backup is great in case they hose it up. We use an older stable version of virtuous sense, which everyone likes the eye candy right.
I'm going to look into this more with all that has been said. I hope it's user error. Will post results.
Thanks again

Ok so I got a phone back that was not rooted yet, probably received it about two months back. I rooted it with no issues 20 mins ago. I tried the other three phones again and no luck.
xsteven77x "Just got a BRAND NEW g2 from tmobile yesterday and all the traditional methods worked so I'm thinking its something on your end..."
Hey xsteven77x, where did you get your phone from. I get all mine through business carel. I guess it could depend if it was from the store or what not and more so what stock since this is a very new thing for me and I have dwelt with quite a few of them. Let us know. thank you
I will be trying the rest that I have and report back.

Post the firmware and radio versions of the phones which are failing to root, as requested earlier.

Sorry, I didn't post this because it is the same even for the phone that I just rooted. Here you go
Android 2.2
Baseband version 12.28b.60.140eU_26.03.02.26_M
Kernel version 2.6.32.17-g9ab3677
build number 1.22.531.8 CL277427

Am I missing something? Ive not been to the site much lately but is there something wrong with the Gfree way of rooting? When i rooted mine and my wife's G2 I was told NOT to use the Visionary method back in Dec. & Jan.!

I'm not sure what you are doing wrong.. but just follow this guide, I've used it to root many phones around me for people

I don't know, I always used this method many times as it says in the OP so I don't know if that's the issue here. I use this method on another G2 a couple hours ago and it worked as I said in a couple posts back. I don't know who told you you couldn't use the visionary method that unforgiven posted but they were wrong unless they know of a reason in the newer devices or something like that.
I will try Gfree and see if that works. Thank you for the idea.

If the bootloader says "S-On", and has hboot 2.16, you cannot downgrade to Froyo. You will get an error about the boot loader being an older version.

Have you tried to do Z4root and the unrevoked s-off forever method. Just a thought. May not be a good one but I use z4 for temp root and I know it wont fully root only because of the S-on in the bootloader. Also which bootloader do you have currently. If its a newer bootloader as well its definitely a no-go

They will figure it out

I still have a pci36 image from froyo If I place it on the root of my sd card, it.should replace me back to froyo and then I can run unrevoked 3 right or??

You can try it to see what happens.

I tried it didn't downgrade, I also tried the Ruu it did nothing either. Just wait patiently you will be able to root soon. This stock ROM is running smoothing anyway, no big deal...

When all else fails, use brute force. Do a google search on goldcards. ;-)

Dude. On another thread you updated live OTA and ask for help to root it. Now you got a replacement phone from Sprint and they've updated it. Pick a story and stick with it. Are u sure Sprint is sending out replacement phones with Gingerbread update already installed or are you just making up stories as you go along? I'm asking because I have a replacement phone coming this week.
Not wanting to call you out. Just trying to confirm what I might expect coming from Sprint this week.

[Q] Help with Mytouch 4G with Gingerbread 2.3.4

Hello everyone,
Any help you guys can give will be much appreciated.
I have a MyTouch 4G previously running Froyo, rooted and S=Off. Against better judgment, I decided to put this release of Gingerbread 2.3.4 on it:
PD15IMG_Glacier_Gingerbread_S_TMOUS_2.19.531.1_Radio_12.58.60.25_26.11.04.03_M_release_200756_signed.zip
Though everything seems to work fine, I lost root. Contrary to most other accounts from other people who flashed the same file, S=Off remained on my phone.
I would really like to get root back so I can use some of my apps again.
Visionary stops at a black screen.
Gingerbreak runs forever with no success.
What other means can I use to get root back or am I SOL for now until someone figures out how to root 2.3.4 on the MT4G?
Thanks again.

From what I could find in the forums, you are kinda stuck till someone comes up with another exploit in order to gain root and s-off
Sent from my HTC Glacier using XDA Premium App

I am stuck in the same situation, except that I updated first to the official gingerbread rom for mytouch 4g and then tried to root my phone, i.e. the phone was not rooted at all.

I'm quite confident an exploit will be (re)written - just a matter of time. It's just that I couldn't use some of my paid apps.

lOOK AT WOLF26915's post use the G2 instructions to temp root using the fre3vo exploit in adb then change your version number to 1.17.531.2, then your bootloader will allow you to use the 2.2.1 PD15IMG update to get back to stock and root.

That was 20 years ago. And yet, even then, when I wanted to know something; I searched and searched and searched, and searched again. Then I read and read and re-read over and over and over again. And after all that if I still didn't know then I would ask. But I would also ask in a proficient manner.
Too many young kids jumping in on the Android bandwagon and wanting to root and flash Rom's right out of the box without learning first.
I stand by my first statement.

If you had Radio S-OFF, you should be able to flash an unsigned PD15IMG.zip even though you lost root.

[Q] Terminal Emulator Does will not open after force close

Hello, yes, first post!
I am trying to root HTC Mytouch 4G.
I have adb and fastboot and am working through Mac OS terminal. That has worked great!
I was using this guide for gfree tem root and gfree perm root. http://simply-android.com/discussion/960/guide-how-to-permroot-g2-with-g-free-safest-method/p1 - originally starting here http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=834228, but wanting to use Gfree instead of vision for the permanent root part.
I pushed all the Gfree temp files to the sd card (su, superuser.apk etc) and ran the Terminal Emulator prompts to attain temporary root. I got the desired "forked #### childs" message - but when I reset term, the terminal just went to a blank terminal window - the guide says that Terminal will exit. Finally, after I pressed some keys it force closed. After that I could not re open Terminal Emulator at all. The system also seemed bogged down at this point, everything was lagging until I rebooted. Obviously I was unable to continue with the Gfree perm prompts - never having gotten a root prompt in Terminal Emulator, as I could not get it to reopen.
I retried this after several reboots (maybe 10 times). I always got through the "rage" prompts just fine to the "forked #### childs" message.
I hope that someone may know what is wrong with Terminal Emulator or why it would not reset and give me the root "#"prompt to continue with permanent root.
Thanks in advance - trying to get 10 posts to ask the actual developer - but even then the thread is 3 years old.

If you're rooting a mt4g why are you following guides to root a g2? You probably want to try a mt4g guide instead...

First off thanks for answering.
Second, I understood that you could root the my4g with the g2 instructions.
Finally, I could not try VISIONary because the link does not have a file anylonger.
Do you know a sure fire mytouch 4g method? The phone is sim unlock and s=on. I have the ota update to gingerbread and would like to root from there without reverting to Froyo, if possible.

That worked flawlessly for me, when nothing else would. I was having the same problems with Terminal and all.

The visionary method works of you just typed visionary.apk into Google you would get it........but if you have a bad emmc when it reaches the part to get s off root.sh won't work if u follow the guide on the unlockr.com u will be ok. You would just need to get visionary from else where and when it reaches the part to get permroot and u have to use the terminal instead of the instructions in the guud go down to the comments and get the file that the guy said worked for him and follow those instructions and u will get s off at which point you may go back to the unlocked to continue to get a custom recovery and ROM.............if your phone starts behaving strange beware the bad emmc chips and take precautions right away

Cool. I had seen some others who just go with it. This mt4g has been super stable, I really don't know what symptoms to look for with a failing chip.
I did just download holo and it runs well and feels modified, much more usable than sense.
I guess I just want to mod so the annoying limitations are gone.

Agreed. I too have this bad chip, and I have flashed several roms, kernels, and radios without a problem.
Please be advised, OP, you MUST downgrade to Froyo then root using the G-FREE. You are having the EXACT same problems I had when I first tried it a long time ago. Nothing else works, period. Trust me on this. It will save you hours of aggravation.
If you don't want to downgrade to Froyo then forget about it.

Awesome, I appreciate it. I haven't addressed this because I've been playing with my phone and lost the ich to work on it. This is my wife's 4G and the more I use it the more I think it is a great phone -size, sleekness, screen and speed are all really nice. Too bad they don't start allowing people to add RAM to phones. (Unless it is possible and I just don't know it) That could keep older "cult" phones in play longer, much like Custom roms, but from a hardware standpoint. Anyway...
Ps - what roms have you had three best experience with for the mytouch?

I am currently on Dark Unicorn v2.5 and it's insane amazing. Minus the lack of 720p recording, it's bomb-diggity! :victory:
If I would have to pick a best experience, I would say Stock 2.3.4 because everything works. Ha ha
Others:
Android Revolution HD
CM7.2

Yeah Dark Unicorn, and Synthetic's AOSPX. Pac-man and venom touch have good tweaks for their rom though .

Interesting. Do you get markedly better performance with dark unicorn, due to the deoxing and kernal?
Honestly, debloating is a big factor in why I root.
