EVO update 3.70.651.1 pushing out now!

[Eric16]

Hopefully somebody can help. I downloaded the update and once it started back up I had swype forced close ALOT like every 5 secs I deleted the beta version kept rebooting and everything went into method input selected swype it would do the exact same thing. I finally did a factory reset and it works now but the thing is when I woke up this morning I had the brand new market but once I did the factory reset it went back to the old market anybody know how to get back to the brand new market?

As soon as my nandroid backup finishes, I'll be downloading this and giving it a shot. Since I'm rooted (unrevoked forever), I'll start by restoring the stock recovery. Then apply this update and make sure everything looks good. Then go back to ClockworkMod recovery and reinstall su. At least I think that's the proper procedure. If that's right, consider this a guide for others with root to follow. Otherwise, consider it a question and please advise on where I screwed up.

Same for me. NO GO on version 2 hardware

Sweet, new update on a 2 day old phone. Just applied the update and rebooting now...

May try rooting in a few days if there is a rooted version put out.

The info for this update states Hardware versions 0002/0003. Maybe that is the reason some people are either not getting the update or are having trouble installing it. Check your hardware version.

Mine is version 0002, but it looks like the build number associated with release-keys isn't listed as compatible with the update. It's looking for 272076 or 294884. Mine has 252548. Ug.

hmmm, hardware 0003, but I'm still on 3.29.651.5... Just by the title of the file saying 3.30 - 3.70, I wonder if 3.29 will see it?

And more importantly, I wonder why I haven't auto updated from 3.29? I know the new camera board version came out, but???

That was wholly based on when you bought your phone and would not be an update in terms of firmware.

3.30, if memory serves, was any new EVO bought during October or November. It was a hardware difference between older EVO's sold before Oct/Nov, not software.

I'm running the newest 0004 hardware. I'm also rooted running cyanogen 6.1. I checked for the OTA update and found it. It downloaded but when it switched me to my recovery and tried to install, it failed. All I want is swype honestly. There's a reason most of us root - to free our phones from sprints trash that none of us use. Why cant we just buy swype? lol

Have you installed the apk that was linked earlier? I nabbed it from AC post, worked / installed fine.

I downloaded the zip file, is the file you are talking about called htcfotanotify.apk.?

What are you supposed to do with it?

 

[mimsy]

No go in Charlotte, NC yet

 

[coogrrr94]

Never mind, just powered down and back up and my screen went black like an earlier poster said, guess it is downloading now.

Click this link with your phone's browser. It will begin the download and install. This will update the Market to the new version:

com.android.vending_2.2.6.apk

Crap, let's try this again:

This nothing but crapware plus Swype, but I already have Swype beta which is currently better than Swype because of its constant updates. So now I have to uninstall Swype beta even though I really like and I just got it like 2 weeks ago.

1. Crapware
2. No new Sense
3. No Gingerbread
4. No real update needed besides Sprint being stupid

Put this all together and this update is crap

- Scan Now widget for 4G

I don't see this anywhere?

 

[jnadelman]

Is the version of swype that comes with this new download the same as the current swype beta?

I third that thought... was hoping for Gingerbread, but guess it's not ready to take out of the oven yet...

Anyone know the version of swype included with this update?
