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...
Do this...

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.

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.
So today after flashing a new rom and then going back to my nandroid backup of my previous rom SetCpu said I do not have root. I'm extremely worried. My phone is/was rooted of course seeing I could flash roms and SetCpu would work just about 25 minutes ago. Would anyone know what to do, rooting my phone previously was such a pain in the a**. Do I have a basta*d Desire HD? Someone be my savior!!
Check other apps that need root, like titanium backup. Still no root message? What ROM are you running? Did you do a full while when you flashed?
I always wipe data before restoring a NAND backup. You could try clearing data for superuser.
Superuser
Do you have the Superuser application?
The superuser app is still there just not working i guess and no app that uses root is working I don't know what to do. Will I have to re-root my device
Did you do what I suggested and do a full wipe then reinstall the backup? Did you try clearing your data for the superuser app?

It happened to me today after I had done what you did. I dont have setcpu. Titanium on my Unity said it doesnt have root. tried everything the guys mentioned here, apart from clearing the data of superuser.
Anyway I did a full wipe, with system format as well, and reflashed Virtuous Unity. All seems fine now.
I had the same problem. Fortunately I had a flashable superuser zip that worked every time. I always keep it on the root of my SD card now just in case. Let me know if you want it and I'll upload it tomorrow from my laptop.

I'd sure love to have it...you never know when you get hit by another no-root issue.
Try clearing Superuser data if you have access to Settings Menu (i was suggest but if you did or not )
<Menu>, <Settings>, <Applications>, <Manage Applications>, select the <ALL> tab, wait for everything to load, scroll down and select Superuser, <Clear Data>
I don't know what is wrong with Superuser app, but it keeps locking new apps from root automatically without asking.
are you sure that the new ROM is rooted ? try rooting it by visionary+
There you go mate. This always worked for me. Flash in recovery.

i have a similar issue. i rooted my sensation using revolutionary
towards the end it kept restarting the phone and going into the boot screen, and then restarting it again. it did this about 3 times, and then it said it failed. i restarted my phone to the boot menu, and it shows s-off. i tried running the revolutionary program again to make sure, and it confirmed this.
i then got the leedroid mod and flashed that to my phone. the leedroid mod works well, just whenever i try to access superuser it crashes. i tried accessing titanium backup and adfree and when these request for permissions, i get an android notification that superuser has crashed and the request times out.
i tried using this fix, but this errors as well...
any assistance in resolving this will be greatly appreciated
thanks
hi
i had the same problem with trying some new roms and restoring nandroid.
i fixed this problem with: Rom Manager -> correct permissions -> reboot
best regards
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.

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...

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.

did all this, nothing's changed. i'm unable to get Odin to see my phone in DL mode. when i boot into DL mode, the device manager shows an alert on my phone. in normal, the drivers work fine and Odin sees the phone.
damn.
I keep getting notified that an update is available. I know it is the one that nukes unified search, so I don't want it.
How do I get the notifications to stop, without installing it. Also what would happen if i accepted it on my rooted phone, would it brick the phone, or unroot it, or something in between?

You can't accept it rooted with custom recovery. If you have custom recovery you have to flash back the stock recovery, and I think you can flash the zip file located in the developer forum. You can get universal search back by then re-rooting, and re-installing CWM recovery. Download the apk for universal search found here: http://forums.androidcentral.com/sprint-galaxy-s-iii/187903-update-2-l710vplg2-2.html#anb
Then you will need to put the new apk file in your system/app folder (not sure it matters what you name it but to be save name it the same as the current one in there and delete the old one or just make it a .bak file). Then reboot. I think it will install automatically on reboot and you will get the functionality back. You may have some permission issues, if you do then you need to boot into CWM recovery and run fix permissions.
To answer your original question I don't know how to stop the annoying update reminder.
I believe it some you have to edit in the updater script for a permanent solution

Just wanted to let everyone know that the 1.2.5i OTA that I received today has completely fixed the screen over-sensitivity issues for me.
I used to have a lot of issues with things like typing on the keyboard and scrolling through lists and the app drawer, but all those issues are completely gone now.
Also, the OTA did not mess with root. Root is intact.

Also there seems to be a bug with the new update where if you go into apps in the settings, it's force closes the settings app
Also since the update a lot of the system apps such as the backup and restore app force closes!

I had no issues with the update or any update. I still have root, settings are the same and all to data is there. Maybe your OTA packet got corrupted.

My girl's phone had something similar happen.
She updated to 1.2.5i OTA and lost everything - as if the phone went through a factory reset.
It even lost root. Irritated me to no end.
For reference, root was gained a couple of days prior on 1.2.4i through TWRP recovery and the supersu update 2.02.
The recovery was then flashed to the Find7 Mod recovery in the rooting thread on oppo forums.
I suspect that the OTA screw up may have been due to this Find7 mod recovery. I'm not sure.
How did you get root? and what recovery was on the phone when you did the OTA update?

Hmmm, when she gets back, I'll try to test if this modded recovery is indeed the issue.
I'm thinking of using the stock recovery provided by oppo on their forums.

Ok, I did multiple tests, and am listing the 2 important ones.
Test 1
1. I reflashed back to 1.2.1i then OTA-ed to 1.2.2i (the next OTA it detected was1.2.5i), flashed TWRP and Update SuperSU 2.02 (to get root) then flashed the x9077-official-recovery-mod.
2. Installed some apps, changed some settings then OTA-ed to 1.2.5i - everything was deleted and I lost root after the OTA - essentially I had to go through the new phone start up menu (language, area, wifi, etc.).
*Initial problem replicated*.
Test 2
I did the exact same procedure again as in Test 1 step 1, but instead of the mod recovery I flashed the Stock Recovery for Find 7/7a (from the thread of the same name in the oppo forums, I used version 0712).
Then I again installed the same apps, changed the same settings and OTA-ed to 1.2.5i.
All the apps and settings remained but the phone lost root.
*Only significant delta between the 2 cases was the recovery version.*
Conclusion
The problem in my girl's case was the x9077-official-recovery-mod.img recovery. OTA-ing using that recovery caused her phone to go through a factory reset. This problem isn't present if the stock recovery direct from Oppo was used. Lesson learnt.
Hope this helps someone. Cheers.

I have thought of doing full wipe and re-flash but I haven't got a way to restore everything because titanium backup or the built in backup app are not working

Quick update, I switched the SU app from SuperSU to CWM's Superuser and that appears to have solved Titanium Backup issues (based on a thread in oppoforums).
It also made FolderMount usable (I set it up to link some folders from the internal storage to the external SD card).
Hope this helps.

I can confirm that switching to CWM's Superuser works. When I updated to 1.2.5i I wasn't able to restore my data for ANY of my apps via Rom Toolbox. I decided to replace the Superuser app caused I remembered that worked for me once with a custom rom on the HTC Amaze, and sure enough now my apps' data has been restored. Success. :good:

Just wanted to let everyone know that the 1.2.5i OTA that I received today has completely fixed the screen over-sensitivity issues for me.
I used to have a lot of issues with things like typing on the keyboard and scrolling through lists and the app drawer, but all those issues are completely gone now.
Also, the OTA did not mess with root. Root is intact.

Hi, regarding the screen touch oversensitivity issue, just one question - are you using any sort of screen protector?
I have a tempered glass screen protector. I tried everything from 1.2.4i to 2.0.1i beta and the screen problem is there. Hearing good news about this 1.2.5i update and need somebody to confirm it works.
