Evo 4G update to Froyo OFFICIAL August 3rd (OLD)

[samdu]

I *am* a full IT guy, and those "rules" usually apply only to MS-Windows. I almost never reboot anything running Linux...

Ditto. The only time I EVER reboot a Linux box - unless something has gone horribly wrong and caused a kernel panic - is doing a kernel update. I'm actually a little bit flabbergasted that Mac OS requires as many reboots after updates as it does, considering it's sitting on BSD. Windows has always required copious quantities of reboots for ridiculously small things. :\

wow that step by step does make seem simple, but I think Im still gonna wait

Guys the website won't load. Says I do not have access. Can someone give me the file? Or point me in another direction to get it?

Looks like it's gone.... I had two links where people had uploaded it.. Try doing a Google search for the update... XDA might still have a copy on their servers...

I downloaded the file yesterday afternoon around 5 and didn't actually go through with the install until about 9:30 at night.... Was a major back and forth with myself on weather I wanted to do it or not.

Finally took the leap of faith and it's worked out pretty good right now. EVO_Girl had some great instructions.... Almost too detailed

Any way... Nothing wrong with waiting... I am sure even those of us who have this file will be updating as I am sure Sprint will have made some tweaks to the file between yesterday and Tuesday....

Updated EVO....

Updated to Froyo 2.2.... via instructions on the net. Went without a hitch. I did cross my fingers a couple of times as it was doing it's thing. Basking in the glow of Froyo!!!

No problems at all after installing it last night. Everything's running great.

I am having some issues with the wifi going in and out depending on how I hold my phone. Anyone have same issues? BTW I did do a hard reset after install of the zip file to fix camera widget issue.

Thats because you using the wrong phone. J/K

No wifi issues here.

Had the browser crashing issue last night when I installed, was the first to do a user data wipe I do believe

I still think that software incompatibility are the biggest problem causers. Wipe fixes everything.

Now go into your Windows Explorer settings and uncheck "Hide extensions for known filetypes" so that this never happens again.

It'll also prevent you from downloading something you think is a JPG, for instance, that is really an exe file waiting to infect your computer with malware.

Try a factory reset..... You will lose your Apps... Just back them up first... All your contact and what not should be saved via your Google Account...

Or replace your MS-Windows with Linux and have your extensions show by default and have little worries about malware anymore

Although I have had the Froyo file since Friday, I have still not installed it. I can wait a few more days for the (perhaps different?) official file. Call me chicken!

So no one else has grounding issues? I can go from about 322kbps to 5388 downloads speeds and everything in between depending on how I hold the phone. Holding at top edge while phone in landscape gives me the best speeds but if I touch back or middle/bottom edges I get very low speeds.

I got a hard back cover and I am going to try to swap it out for the gel cover and see if that does anything.

Can someone point me point me to a file link? somehow, i scrrewed up the file i have. i'm getting a message that the signature cannot be validated. i need to redownload.

Why do you all risk loading 2.2 when HTC says not to do this?
Why can't you just wait for the official release?
