you can hit menu then settings scroll down to system updates then HTC software update. That should do it for you. It will take a little while to update so don't shut the phone off and make sure you have a good charge on the battery. Hope that helps you out....

Damn u got me by a minute! Lol although I did type a half a book.
lol ive been doing that like 100 times a day since i herd about the update and nothing how about if i install the update that they had posted up on endanget the early install is it bad ?? or should i get the final version??
Don't do the early one there were issues to get the phone back to an official version. Weird that you can't get the update... have you checked your software version that's currently on the phone? Maybe you already have the update.

Well, first you need to get updated to software version 1.47. I'm not sure where you would get the OTA update for it. The easiest way to do it, which actually won't really require any other updating, is to download the latest RUU for 2.2. You need a windows computer and HTC Sync set up for all the drivers.
Just use this method: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=746705
This method will wipe your phone, so backup your data.
You're running an old software version. You need to flash a stock rooted or unrooted version. The one you're looking for is 147.651. Check Whitslack's starting over thread in the development forum.

So that's why I never got an update notification: I was running 1.32.
wow this totally worked u were right i think this is alot of peoples problem and they dont noe but this totally worked i got the updated 2.2 up and runninig on my fone thx alot =] this should deffenetly be posted everywhere alot of people are waiting for that update on there fone but they dont realize wat i learned just now
Does anyone else think its weird that Sprint/HTC would offer the 1.47 update "for a limited time only"? So you can't update from 1.32 to 3.26 and anyone who opted out of the 1.47 from 1.32 no longer has the 1.47 update available to them?

I don't think they thought about it in those terms. Why would they limit users from being able to upgrade? Unless they really want their store employees to be spending floor time doing the upgrade for you when you can't do it yourself down the line.
i am at 1.32 and when i hit check for updates i still get prompted to download the 1.47 (no froyo yet, but if i update, i am sure froyo will come sooner or later)....i heard froyo needs 1.47 in place first.
**BTW, does anyone know where the 1.47 update is stored on the phone??? i just downloaded it and removed my memory card, but still get prompted to install...i want to find it and try to take it apart??

That update.zip is in place from when you rooted your phone. I'm guessing you used Simple Root, or else you'd remember putting it there yourself.

I never really kept track of the version numbers so I thought they were normal updates... But they started to happen suspiciously often so I decided to keep track of it this time.. Apparently my (rooted) EVO will not properly isntall 1.32.651.6 . It will just try to apply it, reboot, and then go back to 1.32.651.1 . Anyone else experiencing this?

I believe Toast's root method (and therefore pretty much all of the roots/ROMS out there) already has the initial SD Card/Security OTA update applied

The link above is just the Radio image which was part of the OTA update.
Neither of Toast's PC36IMG.zip files have the OTA applied. They are pre release engineering and user debugging versions of the stock ROM which were used to unlock NAND and Root the device.
Pretty much all of the baked ROMs available for DL will already have the .6 OTA integrated. You can check and see by looking in Settings / About Phone / Software Information and look for Firmware Version 2.1-update 1 and Build Number 1.32.651.6 .....
If you want the stock ROM, rooted, Flipz released it a day or two after the OTA came out. You can find it here as well.
i believe my phone couldn't update from 2.1 to 2.2 because i used the unrevoked method of rooting. in order for me to get 2.2 i updated my phone with the pc36img.zip file and then rooted again with unrevoked.
Now when i'm trying update from 2.2 with the new 3.29.651.5 update, the phone will have the triangle with a exclamation point.
Any ideas? thanks
ok, i thought the 1.47 OTA would download to my sdcard...it didn't. But i wasn't quite convinced it was on the device so i clicked "install update" w/ the sd card pulled...as soon as it began i pulled the battery. Now, whenever i boot it automatically goes straight to the black update screen (with the hard drive icon) trying to install the OTA !!!
How can i stop this and boot normally back into 1.32??? w/o forcing the 1.47 update!!
(i am unrooted btw) THANKS FOR ANY TIPS!!

I could be wrong but i dont think there is a way to stop it if unrooted. in good news even if you let it update to 1.47 you can still root (just dont go to 2.2) so not sure why you would want to stay at 1.32

thanks. i hadn't backed up everything yet. also, i had unrevoked so i hope this doesn't drop my pri down to 1.32 from 1.40 (i guess i lose free tethering too)...other than those things, i was just about to root and get froyo!
so, you don't think i can boot into recovery and wipe something before it completely installs upon reboot??

Not without root. Whatever is trying to run is almost certainly on /system, which is not writable without root access. Just let it go and root after that.
Also, NEVER PULL THE BATTERY WHILE THE SYSTEM IS FLASHING! That's a real good way to end up with a half-written (bricked) ROM.
Just let it update to 1.47 and then use Simple Root or whitslacks method to gain root again. Then flash back to 1.32 if you so desire. As mentioned before, do not allow it to update to 2.2 as there is not yet a method to gain root for the OTA 2.2.
Furthermore, check the dev forum for the PRI issue. They need someone with an unrooted OTA 1.47 with a PRI 1.40_003. You could be everyone's hero.

It probably tried to flash, found nothing there, and removed the instructions from the boot process. So you may have gotten away with it. Check your software version in Settings - About Phone to see where you ended up. Also, is your SD card still out of the phone? It may be waiting to spring back on you when you put it back in, but just let it go anyway if that's the case.

ahh...maybe you are right? maybe it was a phantom flash anyway b/c i never put my sd card back in, also, i did delete that update.zip that was on there anyway...so i'll see if anything happens when i put the card back in. my settings show 1.32 still
**UPDATE: no attempt to reload/reboot system with update after sd card is in. Looks good!

now, should i root and then go straight to 2.2 or go to 1.47 first?? what is the best way to keep my PRI 1.40_003 intact????

I don't think you can, that's why there's a bounty out for it. When you root, your PRI will change to 1.34 because you have to use the engineering ROMs. Correct me if I'm wrong.
You don't want to just upgrade to 2.2 OTA . . . unless you WANT to block root until somebody finds a way to root Froyo on the Evo.
PRI aside, you should probably root from 1.32, no reason to go up through 1.47 and you'll avoid the "Main Version is Older" problem.

great, thanks! i will root and go straight to 2.2. I guess there is no known way to keep PPI 1.4 and actually root. ...it just gets to me that unrevoked users can keep PRI 1.40 and full rooters can't...there should be some way!

I wasn't aware of that, but the reason is probably that Unrevoked users can't flash any ROMs that would update the PRI anyway.

oh...what ROMs wouldn't update the PRI? My friend is an unrevoked 2?3? user and i know he has tried a few different ROMs ...one of them being DamageControl, most recently. He has also tried a few different kernels.
***EDIT: Here are the steps he took:
1) Started w/ Unrevoked 1
2) OTA'd 1.47
3) Unrevoked 3 from 1.47 (then was able to flash froyo rooted roms
4) He still doesn't have nand access, but he flashed the following roms: Fresh (most recent), Burnt Droid, the odexed Stock "FINAL" by netarchy, and DamageControl. Burnt droid didn't take, but neither did DamageControl at first, but now works fine. His recovery is ClockworkMod.
ok im confused, tried to search everywhere for this but have not found a straight answer...
i had my phone rooted but then decided to downgrade back to stock using PB31IMG.zip which restores the phone to prior May OTA.
Current Software Info:
FW: 2.1-update1
BB: 1.00.03.04.06
Build: 1.22.605.0 CL161493 release-keys
SW #: 1.22.605.0
my question is...
do i need to install the may OTA before i can receive the 'official' 2.2 OTA or am i already set to receiving it. PS: im not planning on doing the manual update, just want to know if im ok.
thanks.
A follow up question to Loading; There are comments around about the revision number for HBOOT, required for the OTA. HNOOT is not listed under the software display screen in Settings. Instead you need to power down and boot into HBOOT. You do this pressing Volume Down and Power, at the same time. In my case, I did receive the May 2.1 OTA. However, HBOOT reports I have version .77. Several scattered posts and threads say you need version .79. There is another thread running currently about how to update HBOOT. But the answer was to bump up to version .92. Not sure what version the 2.2 OTA requires. It might be helpful to know and/or confirm what exactly is required, at a minimum. Here is a post where a user upgraded to .79, but now says "revoked3 won't root my phone anymore."
I may need to change my user name to "craZy1" after reading through all these rooting posts.

This is probobly a silly question... but how do I get the May OTA applied without clockwork? I have S-OFF, and then downgraded back to stock but I never got an OTA pop up to update the May OTA...
Ok let start by getting a few things out of the way.
1 I'm sorta a Noob ok kick me crack a joke or two I don't care as long as you help
2. I have Htc evo of course running stock 2.2 (baseband ver 2.15.00.11.19)
Kernel ver 2.6.32.17-gee557fd htc-kernel and18-2 #15) (S-ON)
Radio-2.15.00.11.19 and I'm using a Mac (if that help)
3. I rooted it using the unrevoked method.
The device works fine but bit I'm having a big issue trying to upgrade from 2.2 to 2.3.
I have been trying to unroot the phone so that I can update OTA.
But no matter how many times I try to unroot it my super user is still there
I would rather flash the phone to a 2.3 GB rom thats 2.3 with sense 2.1 or 3.0.
I've tried this the method found on youtube using the s-on and dropping the image file (zip) on the sd card and flashing it
by making sure you install the (s-on) patch
and re-flashing the RUU (PC36IMG).
but when I did that it said that i was re-flashing a old version.. so I found a newer version.
But when I drop it on my SD card as (PC36IMG.zip) it reads it, checks it then... takes me right back to the Hbot screen like nothing never happen!!!
I've been working on this for 3 days I've even tried restoring and everything.
I've been searching online for answers but I can't find anything that helps either its not up to date or just flat out dont work.
at the end of the day i just want a damn evo running BG 2.3 sense 2.1 or 3.0 would be nice.
oh by the way when i try to run the OTA it reboots startes to load get about 35% then goes to the exclamation mark / triangle.
I'm out of options please help me out! I've searched and read on for about 3 days now.
please either help flash the device to a stable working 2.3 with sense 2.1-3 or un root it so i can update it ota and re root it again...

Wow man, between the general and q&a sections there are seven threads dealing with this very topic. Yet you couldn't find any of them?
If you want to unroot and take the ota you will need to flash the s-on update and run the 3.70 ruu to unroot. Once you do that you'll be completely unrooted and like new. Then just take the update and it should go through without any issues. If, however, your bootloader shows a firmware version higher than 3.70 and you are s-on then I'm sorry to say you are stuck like that.

You'll need to flash the PC36IMG through fastboot to see what's going wrong with it then. To do that download the AutoRoot tools zip and the PC36IMG_3.70.651.1.zip from the link below. Once you have them both unzip the tools folder and place the PC36IMG in it, then run the FlashZip script and tell it to flash the 3.70.651.1 zip
It should flash ok but if not it'll give you an error message saying what went wrong with it. Keep in mind you're going to be completely unrooted if your bootloader shows S-ON.

You do realize that you'll lose root until a new method is found, correct? If you want to stay rooted, you need to reroot, then flash the stock rooted 2.3 rom.
If you want a newer version of Sense, you'll be outta luck there too - the new update is same ol' Sense 1.0.
Just making sure you realize this, since so many people are whining about not being able to root the OTA and being stuck with the uneventful update.

hey guys i got it working thanks for your help!!!!
as i have a problem to ota update to 2.2.5 from 2.2.3 i think i have to downgrade to froyo and then to try update to 2.2.5.when i bought the phone i got message for some small ota update then after couple of days i got message for 2.2.5 update but my phone says that i cannot update because i have unofficial soft inside?!the phone is almost new,never been rooted on so
I dont think you can downgrade and I dont think this is an option you want to pursue.
Maybe you can unlock the phone and wipe it and flash an official 2.3.5 RUU.
However you dont sound like you are too interested in learning too much due to your lack of research in xda (not a bad thing, some people just arent) so if the phone is almost new you could perhaps take it back and get the shop to sort it out.

Froyo? 2.2.3?
You mean 2.3.5 and 2.3.3

You may be right about s-off, i think its all gonna depend on versions of radio and hboot etc included in the ruu. Maybe the OP can extract the system image from the ruu and flash just that but its all gonna need some research by the OP I think.
