I have an HTC EVO with software Hardware version 003, 3.29.651.5, S-OFF and HBOOT-0.97.0000. I have tried both update files I could find for 3.70.651.1:
OTA_supersonic_3.70.651.1-3.30.651.3_releasekobxwrvtv9q86pp0.zip
OTA_Supersonic_3.70.651.1-3.29.651.5_releasezq9ss6wyobuo26b5.zip
Neither works as both give errors upon applying update.zip in the recovery menu. "Error 7" and "sd install error" appear with tons of other odd text which don't really form many words. What is really odd is last time my phone was rooted and the update was released I simply did the method above like normal and everything went great. Then once it was done i re-rooted! Not this time though...
I have also tried directly downloading the update to my phone via htc update and installing but I get started and it quickly goes to a frozen yellow triangle icon which then I must pull the battery. My dilemma?
I wanted to try using the file my phone downloads from htc directly but i am unable to find the file on my phone? I have searched with astro file explorer and tried every search strong possible. I searched the SD and then tried to search the main phone memory. The phone says it stores it somewhere in the memory but doesn't say where? Does anyone know where it does? I wanted to try this and see if it will update.
I am basically looking to update and I could care less about root as I can redo it after the update. The big issue is that I want my phone to stay the way it is with no deletion of ANY DATA such as messages, apps, etc... I simply want to update and re-root like I did last time and I can't figure out why it won't let me? I don't want to have to flash a new stock ROM and lose everything or have to use a backup program to do what i did so easily last time.
The new version of unrevoked 3.3 is out so I want to update and be done. Perhaps the root is causing it and can I un-root and then re-root after the update? I hate that HTC released multiple versions of the same phone as updates become extremely tricky now and dangerous. Than You for any help you can provide.

if you are rooted then you should be using a rooted 3.70.651.1 rom to update. DO NOT do OTAs
I've seen took many people posting threads recently about trying to do the 3.70 ota and thinking they will just reroot after, they all have problems, my suggestion is to grab the radio/pri/nv/wimax update combo and flash it, then flash sprint lovers 3.70 after wiping cache and dalvik. you will still have root and all your apps with the newest software
make a backup in Ra beforehand just in case
Thanks for the quick reply's but I simply want to update like normal. If I can't get root then I can't get root but at least get me to update without overwriting my whole phone and having to make backups of EVERYTHING! Thanks...

I don't like flashing ROMs either. This will let you update.
Do a little more digging and you will find the answers. I admit it took me a little bit to find this l when I updated.
I don't understand why my phone just won't update? I don't really want to flash but thanks for the info. Does anyone know where the EVO stores the updates it downloads? If anyone could please provide me with more info that would be great.
The reason it won't update is because you have a custom recovery. You need to flash the stock recovery to allow you to update.
If you follow the link above it will let you do what you want keeping all your data and upgrading like normal. Just need to flash the stock recovery back. This is as long as you did unrevoked forever.
The downloaded updates are stored in the phones file system under /cache. You need to be able to mount your file system as rw to be able to access. If you don't know how to do that you can find both of the OTA updates on the web and download them. Have to have the correct one for the version you are currently on. The Evo's were at two different revs for this last update.
Even if you find the OTA update and try to apply it from your custom recovery it will not work.
Dig a little more and if you cannot find them I will find the links again, didn't save 'em.
Very good post and I am wondering the same thing. I haven't tried the stock recovery image thing yet but might soon. It was very easy to install the OTA update last time and then just reinstall the recovery image and superuser app. I bet it is not working because they changed the hboot in this version. I too haven't updated yet since I don't like losing my data and potentially missing something. I will probably just say screw it in a couple of weeks once I get time though and just flash the rooted version of the update.

Sorry doesn't work for me! It gets about 1/4 updating and then goes to the red triangle icon and never turns off. I did everything the guide said. I have the original recovery and S-OFF. What do I do now as I simply want to update and not lose my data!

Just flash a rooted copy of the stock ROM and only wipe the cache and dalvik. If you leave your data intact it will save all your settings.
I've been updating this way since I rooted about a month after the phone came out.
WTF!?
Can you point me to a step by step guide xHausx? And this would keep my caller ids, apps, internet files, themes, preferences, etc?

1. Download a Rooted 3.70 Stock Rom (http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=874251)
2. Copy Downloaded rom to your SDCard
3. Reboot to Recovery
4. Wipe Cache
5. Wipe Dalvik-Cache
6. Flash the Zip you copied to your SDCard
7. Reboot
8. Done
Do Not Wipe Data, or you will lose what you are trying to keep.
I'm just curious. The 3.70.651.1 update you were trying to use. Where did you try to DL it from. I think you were using the wrong file.
If you are rooted you should have tried to use these:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=874251
For some reason teshx set that ROM up to wipe data.. you'll have to open the zip and change it.
look in it for meta-inf\com\google\android\update-script file and open that, at the top you will see it say "format DATA:". Just delete that, save, zip and flash.
Why that is set up like that I have no idea
sekigah84 I got it from Sprint via my phone. So it had to be right.
Khilbron & xHausx thanks for the info I'm going to take my nandroid backup and give this a try! I'll post back my info! Also will this update my radios, and other pertinent system files?
damn man you really like your phone stock, and i guess you dont have time to read all 9 stickys helping root people, so we'll just need to fill you in
the bottom line: flash a custom rom and you will never want to go back. NEVER OTA WITH ROOT OR YOU COULD GET SCREWED BADLY. even a stock-ish custom rom like mikfroyo is better than stock. titanium backup will backup all apk's and data. or you can just not wipe data.
flash myns.
just do it
you wont regret it
or just stick with stock.

Okay, so I'm really close to being able to do this. I just need someone to explain to me the mental block I'm having.
I'll X-post something from another thread, based on the research and reading I've done:
I am currently running the OTA 2.1 from HTC.
I want: The new rooted Froyo build.
So, steps I need to take to make this happen:
1. Backup my phone.
2. Wipe.
3. Root my phone using simpleroot
4. Reboot.
5. Flash using the file that's listed on page one of this topic, correct?
6. Reboot.
7. Flash the radio with provided file.
8. Reboot.
9. Flash the WIMAX with the provided file.
10. Reboot.
What's confusing me: How do I go from a wiped phone with no data on it to rooted via Simpleroot? Is the wipe required for Simpleroot to work, or does Simpleroot automatically give me the option to wipe while it's rooting? If I DO wipe my phone, do I use the stock installer 136img to boot my phone to the standard HTC sense screen and then root from there, or do I use Simpleroot while my phone is sitting in the recovery shell?
I'm just confused as to where to begin the Simpleroot process while wiping my phone. So confused.
For anyone who responds.... thanks. I feel like I'm so close to having this phone on a rooted Froyo, I can taste it (ha).
Lastly, if I'm not articulating this very well, and someone would like to be the king of awesome, I'd be willing to PM them my number and hopefully it wouldn't take more than a few seconds to explain to me.
Thanks.
It's really more simple than you're making it. Wiping erases data. (full wipe essentially resets the phone back to a clean rom with no user installed apps, personal data etc...).
Follow the instructions for Simpleroot (There's even a video link I believe). When that is done you should have a ROM with root access and a custom recovery. Once finished with this process, delete or rename the PC36IMG file that's on the SD card.
To Flash the other items, radio, wimax, ROM, etc.... just reboot into recovery (vol down + pwr), Choose flash from zip and select the applicable zip file. Remember to Reboot between the Radio & Wimax installs. Flash your ROM and enjoy!
Hope this helps....

Lol. Wow. As I said, it was a simple mental block. Heading home from work to try this... Thanks.

No. Repeat to yourself as you watch the video... "it's SimpleRoot" because it's Simple. Just follow the instructions to run the program... and click "step1, step 2 as guided by the program..." It will install / run the files needed. I think the latest version may even let you click something to erase the files which are not required going fwd... just take a look at the post and the video.
Also just a heads up if you run simple root and you get an error message to the effect that you need a certain version of microsoft's .net framework. Just google it and install. This is ONLY IF YOU GET AN ERROR WHEN TRYING TO RUN SIMPLEROOT.
Wow. Thanks so much for the quick replies. ill post here later with the results.

So, unfortunately I was away from my main PC last night, and HTC's link to the HTC Sync download was inactive, therefore I couldn't download it onto my laptop to facilitate this.
One last question... do I need the clockwork recovery mod to accomplish any of this?
kperry, thanks for your help!
I was up pretty late, but I am now running a rooted Froyo!
This community is amazing!
I don't want to make this long so here goes. I don't have a clue what happened but it some how worked.
I just wanted to root my phone so I went to this site and followed the instructions to the key.
http://htcevohacks.com/htc-evo-hacks/how-to-root-htc-evo-4g-new/
I had problems with step 10 and I dont even know if i properly saved the wimax what ever the hell that is/
When the bootloader came up it would just load from the sdcard and load up the " PC36IMG.zip" and and update.
I was never able to do step 11.
I kept going back and forth trying to repeat the step and that z4 app would never let me unroot and i repeatedly rerooted.
So I decided to reset my phone and sdcard hoping this would reset the whole process.
I then found something else to root. This website.
http://theunlockr.com/2010/07/20/how-to-root-the-htc-evo-4g-unrevoked-method/
Unfortunatley I didn't follow the instructons right because I am a damn fool.
So I went to straight running the unrevoked app without running the modified Android USB driver. Wierd thing is that I already got that superuser ninja looking guy in my apps. I was able to use wifi tether.
Now here is the thing, I was never able to do that recovery thing with that little black screen with green letters. It seems that I skipped that step to recover something. How can I redo that?
When I went to ROM manager and tried to install a ROM it says "flashing an update package on a recovery other than clockworkmod recovery may not work properly. Proceed?"
Does that mean it won't work? Im afraid to push Proceed.
Hope I made sense for someone to help. Its a giant mess... I wish I could start all over...
Boot into the bootloader and accept the update and reboot, that'll install a recovery for you.
Also, you're using the paid version?

Clockwork recovery is just different from amon_ra. You can go into rom manager and click flash clockwork recovery, if you wish. And that message means like flashiing clockwork on amon_ra , you may get errors. Also, you can use clockwork on amon_ra, as to still download roms, but you can't backup with it.
I also want to add ever since I tried the root, it took my phone back to the stone age. I los the newest htc update with swype. Why is that?
The Rom Mananger isnt working for me either. It wont load any ROMS. IT says downloading but nothing ever happens, how long does it take to download a ROM?
I downloaded this OTA SUPERSONIC 3.70 and it wont load either? Whats going on .
I really need some major help!

I'm not sure why you would root your EVO without knowing anything about the process or at the very least the terminology, but it's not too late. I recommended that you go and read and get a better feel for the process.
There are at least a dozen threads on the subject. Here's one to start you off Helpful Threads.
i have a T989, rooted, Clockwork Mod, and installed some stock Android (sans bloatware) MOD.
i had updates set to automatic and am now being bugged to install the new TMobile update, which doesn't seem to be able to install with Clockwork, and i can't turn off the persistent Update prompts.
i've already bricked one GS2, and obviously fear doing it again. I wouldn't get another chance, i don't think. (i do have insurance on the phone, not sure if it would cover a rooted phone?)
what can someone tell me about the TMobile update and Clockwork, or whatever i need to do, go with the update or stop it somehow...?
thanks for your help.
Ota update requires stock recovery.
Grab one of the updated stock roms and flash via cwm. Then Odin the new baseband.
Sent from my SGH-T989
i think i have one of those stock roms - i chose one that was just 'the same thing but without some of the standard apps'. how can i check to see what rom i have...?
and what do you mean by baseband? the new update? is it already dl'd to my phone? i've searched through the phone's dirs (rooted File Explorere, i guess) and could not find anything...
sorry to be a pain - i can't brick another one, of course... (

couple of questions:
he says on the post:
"DONT FLASH - add files to the zip in the app folder, then flash. Or usb connect drag to sd the use some rooted file explorer to place in system/app then reboot."
Flash or don't Flash? I'm transferring the zip to sd now, then i need to move it to system/app...?
once i've 'flashed' what do you mean "Odin the baseband"? i have Odin, used it last time...

I flashed the ROM, now i have 2.3.6, and now i'm stuck with 2 OTA notifications, one states postponed, and choosing START for the update does nothing.
help?
I had the base load on mine with a bunch of stuff frozen and Clockwork on it (plus root)
I first unfroze all the stuff I had frozen, then ODIN'd back the stock recovery. Didn't touch anything else, then told the OTA to go ahead.
It updated just fine -- removed root of course. I then ODIN'd back the clockwork recovery and re-installed SU, then re-froze all the boatware.
Done in about 15 minutes -- no muss, no fuss, didn't lose anything.

You can probably clear this up by formatting /system in CWM. Then wiping cache and dalvik. Then flash the FL1 update. Hit advance, fix permissions and then reboot.

OK I updated to JellyBean when it was first leaked and have just left it alone. Have been pretty happy with it. While today I have some free time so was going to spend it on XDA all day learning what else has been done since JB was first announced/released. I tried going into recover and CWM was not there. I still have superuser. I downloaded ROM manager and it seems to have installed CWM back on my phone.
Questions are:
Did I lose root?
How do i get permanent root back?
Sorry if there's been threads on this. I work full time, FT student, Getting married in 2 months, and in escrow. I've barely had enough time to take a dump.

two files download when you take the OTA update that essentially revert you back to stock recovery. Go to the new Nexux 101 thread sticky on top of this page to find how to edit those two lines and simply load new custom recovery.
First install root checker and verify you have root:
https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.joeykrim.rootcheck&hl=en
Second check if you have SuperSU in your apps, if not install it:
https://play.google.com/store/apps/...51bGwsMSwxLDEsImV1LmNoYWluZmlyZS5zdXBlcnN1Il0.
Third and most Important:
When flashing a rom in CWM, you select reboot system, CWM will give you a warning about installing default recovery.
Select the "fix this" option and it will reboot. I suspect you didn't do this and you now have default recovery.
Install Rom Manager:
https://play.google.com/store/apps/...xLDEsImNvbS5rb3VzaGlrZHV0dGEucm9tbWFuYWdlciJd
Open it and select option to flash CWM Recovery

Go back to stock, go through adb and push a new recovery image. Don't use CWM though, go with TWRP.

101 thread by efrant is definately a excelent resource. Everyone should read it, even if it is only to remember!
a few tips:
1- with the device in fastboot mode, reflash a recovery (latest versions of either twrp or cwm) with fastboot.
2- in a custom recovery, adb is rooted, so you can even mount /system with rw, and delete /system/recovery-from-boot.p
3- rooting android itself is as easy as booting a custom recovery with fastboot and flashing a previously copied supersu.zip
I have the AT&T version, but I did S-Off, converted to the Dev Edition (CID BS_US002) and now have the stock recovery back on because I'm trying to apply the OTA update which provides a patch to the GPS.
I've applied a previous OTA successfully (after I went back to a stock recovery, of course).
But this time, it fails partway through and shows the red triangle with exclamation point. I was able to boot the phone to Recovery and do a Vol+ & Power which enabled me to select a handful of different options, chose to do the option of installing an OTA .zip file. Anyways I browsed to the OTA file in internal phone storage, executed it and it stops and fails on the following message: "cimext9.odex has unexpected contents". I am stumped because Google couldn't help. But, something similar happened to another person and they had installed Adaway which must have changed system files. I did have AdblockPlus installed for a while but uninstalled it - so could ABP be the culprit, and now what are my options that would enable this OTA to get installed on my phone?
Thanks in advance. Still learning, appreciate the help this board has provided me so far.
I had the same issue with this update, even though previous ones had installed fine. I didn't have adaway installed and never found out what was causing my issue, in the end I flashed a clean .3 and done the update, which installed fine. Then I used Helium to install all my app data and rooted it after that. Had to setup all my root apps again but now running .4
It looks like I'm going to have to flash the stock ROM again because something apparently isn't stock anymore.
Can I do this but keep the apps installed, contacts, music/files, etc? Or does it go back to factory reset?
When I done it i had to install all my apps and stuff again but there might be a way of saving all your stuff, someone else might be able to help you with that, I haven't had an android device that long

Thanks. This will show my ignorance, but by flash the .3, do you mean get the .3 OTA and flash that in the stock recovery, or do you mean grab a .3 nandroid backup?

When I done it i had to install all my apps and stuff again but there might be a way of saving all your stuff, someone else might be able to help you with that, I haven't had an android device that long

Yeah I do not have THAT much, but I've done this a few times and have things just the way I like them. Oh well.

Thanks. This will show my ignorance, but by flash the .3, do you mean get the .3 OTA and flash that in the stock recovery, or do you mean grab a .3 nandroid backup?

I meant grab the nandroid backup, don't know if just a factory restore from the menu would do the job. I just thought that if I'm starting from scratch then I might as well flash .3 : )
