EVO update 3.70.651.1 pushing out now!

[Averix]

Xda has a rooted one up already. [ROM] RUU SuperSonic EvO 3.70.651.1 OTA - Stock - Sense - Deodexed & Odexed Version - xda-developers

Be careful though. The update that the rooting is based on isn't necessarily for all versions of software on the EVOs out there. I don't know if they left the version checks in the scripts or not. I would suggest doing more research before embarking on that path.

I wasn't referring to the availablity of the OTA. I was answering NDchem2014's post that I quoted in my reply about whether this update fixed the 4G lag issue, which the Sprint Community article I referenced says it does not.

Oh I gotcha...

No update in Detroit yet for my black #0002 EVO. Bleah. Gonna wait rather than hassle with the apk since I was one of those who jumped the gun on Froyo. I can wait.

The new market app automatically updated on my Evo today after a quick visit. I didn't even ask it to or need to install anything.

If it's saying aborted, you have the wrong version for the update file you downloaded. It won't work. You need either another download that hasn't been leaked yet as far as I can tell, or wait for the OTA one.

ive been on the app market all day and no update.

Why is it called a maintenance release, when most of it seems like sponsored bloatware to me.

No such luck with my 0002 Evo. Tried the manual install, failed after about 2 seconds. Guess I'll keep waiting.

Big whoop- the new app market has been available for the Evo for a long time. Just clear the app data and wham, it is updated.

Read the other posts. The manual update apparently does not work on 0003 nor 0002 hardware (which is probably 95% of Evos out there)

What does one of the update notifications look like?

 

[Itchiee]

I've been on the app market all day and no update.

I believe I opened it, then closed it, and when I opened it again it was updated. I had no idea that it was going to occur and read that an updated version was coming soon. I haven't really been following the scene as much, I kinda lost interest... It works, no problems, no need to modify so.....

Thanks for the info about Swype Beta. I was wondering about that. So should we just uninstall that first before applying update?

Yep. Swype just force closes if you leave your beta version installed. Uninstall Swype and the installer for the app before you download this update. If you didn't uninstall first it's no big deal. Just uninstall, then powerdown and restart. It should restart with the new Swype.

So we can finally stop stealing Swype...Yea!!!!
