has been for a month. [ROM] RUU SuperSonic EvO 3.70.651.1 OTA - Stock - Sense - Deodexed & Odexed Version - xda-developers

 

[Lord Vader]

OK, thanks. BTW, does that ROM support 4G? Also, as someone relatively new to Android (got my EVO in October), if I go with that ROM and later opt for another one, am I correct in assuming such other one might not be supportive of the new software version?

yes it does...its just nothing more than the stock rom with the latest updates. all of the "big named" roms out there have already been updated to the latest updates....the devs are freaky fast on updating their roms to the latest! there will be no worries as far as updates go.

if your wanting the stock feel with some tweaks...i might recommend the sprint lovers rom for starting out. [ROM] 01/10/11 | SPRINT LOVERS | 2.2 | 3.70.651.1 | Radio/Wimax/PRI All-In-One - xda-developers

 

[Lord Vader]

OK, thanks. BTW, a question if you don't mind...

I understand all the backing up and stuff needed to be done, but the one place where I seem to be confused is having to nandroid first. Is there a specific way to go about this? A specific program for this? I ask only because I think I'm having a mental block with respect to how to nandroid it first.

power off the phone....hold down vol down + power and you will boot into recovery and i know in amon ra (im not familiar with clockwork) that you goto backup/restore, then the option nand backup...and it will take some time and your all set to flash...just wipe your dalvik-cache and cache before flashing and since its a different rom id recommend wiping the data too so your sure there will be no issues in flashing.

 

[Lord Vader]

I've got clockwork but I think I'm going to use Amon Ra. I've heard nothing but good things about it.

 

[Lord Vader]

Which reminds me--where can I find Amon Ra? I think I just keep seeing the recovery image and not the program itself.

thats all amon ra is is a recovery..not an actual program. ya ive always heard good things about amon ra..thats why ive never bothered with clockwork.

There are some apps with this update I don't want. How do I get rid of them? I don't have the standard options of deleting/uninstalling. If I try to download them to uninstall, I get a message that I don't have enough memory.

On your phone:

Menu > Settings > System Updates > Firmware Update

It will search to find any updates, then give you the opportunity to download and install any updates.

Just got an EVO this week with same firmware version. When I check for updates, there are none available.

 

[Lord Vader]

I believe the latest version is no longer available. A reliable source within Sprint told me a week or two ago that that version was "pulled due to some issues." (His words, not mine.)

Just repeating what he said.

 

[deadeye99]

IT's ins HTC software updates not firmware update.

 

[FatalErrorz]

true dat...Sprint would have exactly nothing to do with it...

No it didn't get pulled, just updated a Evo that had been sitting for a few months. Once I turned it on, it prompted me to update the device to this version. So that source was incorrect.
