how can i get the new sprint update without loosing my root, and i dont want to use unrevoked, can anybody help? is there a zip file for OTA 3.29.651.5
flash a rom that is the software version you desire, if you updated your pri to 1.90 you must stay with software 3.70

Hey, I am currently using an Evo i got from a friend who got his at Google IO. My problem is that I am currently still on build 1.32.651.1 but when I try to check for OTA updates in the settings, it says my phone is up-to-date. Is there a way for me to force update? Or can I get the update roms somewhere? I found the 1.47 update rom but it updates from 1.32.651.6 which doesnt help me.
Thanks.

the 1.47 rom can be installed over any rom version as it will overwrite any past files so you can safely update from 1.32.651.1 with no problem
XmentalX: I tried flashing that rom on but it said that it failed to verify whole-file signature. I am guessing it is because the 1.47 rom I found was for upgrading from 1.32.651.6 build while I had the earlier 1.32.651.1 build.

does that not bring me to a rooted 1.47? If possible, for now, i'd like to stay unrooted.
If you don't install the super user zip you will not have root

Ok, thanks. I will try that then.
I think your confused. To my knowledge you cannot flash drive roms/updates manually without having root, via Clock work Mod (Nandroid). I tried updating via .zips from SD before rooting and installing clockwork mod and I was getting the same error. Why don't you want to root anyway? If you try to update using the OTA, you can't do froyo until the 3rd, if their even still releasing it. IF you don't want to root, your looking on the wrong web site. GO try HTC's site or Sprint. They can help you out since your still STOCK unrooted.

on the older roms you can flash via hboot by putting the PC36IMG.zip on the root of the sd card and pressing vol down + power
they patched that on 1.47 but you can still downgrade and do it no problem.

I am not opposed to root but I have not seen anything that I really wanted that required root. Also, you are right, perhaps asking HTC/sprint directly first would be helpful.
so, after a quick email with HTC, it seems that they do not officially support dev devices and thus no OTA updates. Thanks for your help.
hi just wanted to know if i can update to the ota 2.2 from without running to problems?? don't care if im gonna lose root access.
i beleive fresh blocks the OTA so you may have to manually update. if it lets yuo download the ota through the settigns then you should not have any problems.
As a note fresh and many others already have 2.2 roms using the new ota out. if rooted you may want to grab one of those since currently thre is NO WAY to reroot your phone on 2.2

Correct,do not upgrade manually, just flash a 1.47 based rom and then the newest Fresh 3.0.1

NO NOT GO TO THE HTC WEBSITE, just flash any 2.2 based rom
either would be ways of manually updating it. I just ment that you cant get the OTA automatically. So you would want to download either the HTC update (killing root chances) or root and download a rooted stock and flash it giving you the best of both worlds.

ok cool, rooted stock it is.
thanks for all the help everyone.
Currently, my phone is rooted using unrEVOked 3.21. I wanted to uninstall bloatware, so I had researched what was safe to remove... well apparently I removed more than I could, or it's a different issue, because the newest OTA update wont complete.
I get the "Triangle Exclamation Point" screen, and says it can't find Flickr...
I'm curious... what is the best way to do this?
-Should I Un-Root to the stock 2.2 that came on my phone... then update to the newest OTA, then re-root?
-Or is it possible to just Un-Root and update straight to 3.29.651.5 in one step, and then Re-Root?
Thanks for your help =]
I had the same problem, ota wont work if ur missing any stock apps so u need to unroot then flash pc36img, install ur ota then reroot, finaly make a nand with everything stock and up to date to go back to for the next round of ota..also instead of deleting stock apps u could rename them to whatever.apk.old or move them to sdcard or desktop for safe keeping, hope thos helps im still quite noobish myself

Can you not just run the update.zip and update it over whatever you got going on?
Not if ur missing any stock apps like all the sprint stuff, the update wont fly

Yeah, fun stuff haha =P. I ended up finding a PC36IMG of the newest OTA, so I just flashed that, then re-rooted... worked like a charm actually. I coudn't find a PC36IMG of the newest OTA before, so I didn't know what to do. The .old tip is a keeper, will be using that, thanks.
Welcome, i keep a copy of the img on my computer for safe keeping make sure to rename it if u want to keep the copy on ur sdcard otherwise it will auto run on every reboot
Hi! I have rooted two friends phones with the 1-click root method 3.21. I want to know if they want to update his phones using the official Sprint OTA update, they will lose or not their root?
I have been reading on the forum, I understood that they loose the SuperUser application, but they can install it back on the market and everything is fine again. Is that true?
There is any other trusted process for updating their phone?
In their case, they just want to have it stock with root and that's it....
I rooted mine with the long process before the 1 click root and I am using the fresh rom, with all the latest updates for WiMax, PRI, PRL and Radio.
Thanks in advance.
I used this to do the OTA 3.29.
You DO loose root, just make sure unrEVOked forever was used so they retain S-Off.
Follow this guide to re root the OTA.

Also, from personal experience, SuperUser needs to be flashed, not just downloaded from the market.
I have a rooted evo and I want to update to 3.70, but that would mean loosing my root adn well it doesn't work! What is the best way to update my phone without having to re install everything? I used unrevoked to root it last time, is there an easy way to do this again.

Look into MikFroyo. It is a stock sense without all the sprint bloatware. It already updated to 3.70 fully rooted.
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=883026
I've learned that with each update released, that rom you are using will release a new build of that rom with the update incorporated into it. Then you just need to update your radios and PRI to match it and you will be good to go.
Okay so it looks like the best thing to do is to reload, so if I do that will I need to reconfigure all my stuff? I am using launcher Pro, so I don't want to re do all that configuration. If I use a tool like Titanium back up can I then restore and have all the config done? Could someone give me a guide on how to do this update correctly, the last time I did this it was one file no radio update required. thanks
