HTC EVO 4G update - EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

I have done a search so save me the bull**** about doing a search is there an update for the HTC EVO 4G I am rooted running mik ROM 3.0 and haven't had a notification about an update but I have heard rumors about an update. If there is what android version is it and will it mess my root up?? Also is there a ROM that gives me the option to lock my phone and the only way to unlock it is by voice?? Just a few questions thanx for any help

Are you looking for the latest stock rooted rom? If so I'm pretty sure u can find it in the development section. Or are you trying to unroot and go back to stock? And if your running mikg I'm pretty sure you won't receive update notifications for the evo from sprint. Not sure what your trying to accomplish man.

Dont worry about updates from Sprint. As soon as anything would come out, Devs work them into their ROMS. There should not be anymore for us.

Yea, if you are running a custom rom, you won't get update notifications from sprint, as you arent running a sprint rom. Just check your rom's thread for any updates.

Correct. If you were on a sprint sense rom and took an OTA, there's a minimal chance you could lose root [I've seen it happen], so as said, check the thread of your rom for updates/patches.

Its just a maintenance release, it tweaks some things, upgrades your radios, upgrades the kernel, and adds a few new programs. If you want this update, search the forums for the latest sprint ruu and flash it...if i were you, i wouldnt bother with it, u wont notice anything. You won't see gingerbread till sometime early 2011

He had it deleted because xHausx posted the stock rooted ROM 1st... plus he wasnt feeling well.. there are the odex and de-odex versions up
thanks man....i should know this but I dont...whats the diffetence between the two? again ty
one more thing...im so confused I dont know where to start if I want to try this...im on konis e3 if that helps...again thanks, if u dont want to help and give a walk thru I understand
Sent from my PC36100 using XDA App
The deodexed version is themeable, the odex version has a slightly faster boot time and uses less space in system. That's the quick and dirty answer, anyway. If you want to modify it at all, flash the deodexed version, otherwise just flash the odexed version.
You're going to flash it the same way you'd flash any other rom. Follow the directions in the thread, I'm not sure if you'll need to flash the updated radios, etc. If you don't know how to flash a rom - I know you have a custom rom installed, but a lot of people have someone else root/flash for them - there should be a walkthrough floating around somewhere. If you need help or just want clarification, shoot me a pm. I have a fairly lengthy write up on everything to do with rooting/flashing/recovery/etc, I'd be happy to send you that or help you out.

The wimax, prl, and radio are optional; they will update what the are supposed to. You'll only brick your phone if you do a battery pull/battery dies during an update of the radio. You don't have to update any of those if you don't want to, but just wipe the cache and dalvik, then flash if you want to.
thank man...whats the benefit of updating those, which kernal should I use andwhats I hear its sense 1.0?
arent we on like 2.0 something?

Nothing really besides having an updated connection possibilities...PRI can affect your battery, but if its good, no need to change it. Yea, its sense 1.0, and there are sense 3.0 roms out there.
why would an upgrade downgrade like it did? whar the difference between 3 and 1¿

Update the Wimax radio it helps. For example at my house before the update I was not able to get any Wimax signal. But after the update I now get between one bar. Better then nothing I guess haha

you wont be able to update just the sense part of your 2.3.4. you will need to download a custom ROM that has sense 3.0 or higher already built into it.
then will i have to re-root? Do you know of such a rom?

you wont loose root because you will flash the rom in recovery. just keep an eye on the development section

(my girlfriend) recently updated her software to 2.3.4, the phone has never been rooted b4, just to be sure, there is currently no way to root? if so how? i recently followed the same steps i did on my own phone a few months back (unrevoked3) but was unsuccessful.

So i installed cwm and now i read that i won't be able to install updates?

Will just un installing it let me do the updates or do i need to do anything else?
Thanks

You just flash back to stock rom to get the updates. But the point is once rooted your rom of choice will be updated probably faster than the Google update gets pushed to your phone.
^ This!!!
And why have a galaxy nexus if you want to go back to stock for ota? Its a development device....use the roms the devs release for it...lol.
Do I understand this correctly? Clockwork mod recovery with stock ICS will not give OTA updates from Google???

Yes...although im not sure why this concerns anybody. As fast as development is moving on this device, the devs will have updates out as fast or faster than google releases them via ota.

^Made me laugh.
You can flash the official roms from google with cwm. This way you have your updates faster.
But I should choose a developer rom they have awsome features.

Did you wipe your cache and delvik cache too?
