Update coming to HTC EVO 4G LTE

Re: Update coming to HTC evo 4g lte

I will say that this method usually works if the system is set to send an update. I did this on my Nexus 7 to get the 4.2 update.

Re: Update coming to HTC evo 4g lte

So you're updating your original Evo to Jellybean right now?

No , I called Sprint to see what they had to say about an update to the EVO 4G LTE that I have been reading about on the net.
And if there was one? How to manually push it to the phone.
The Sprint csr named Andrew
Said yes... There is a jelly bean update and
That it is been released as of Nov 15 to his knowledge.
Andrew then gave me
The directions I posted on how to manually push the update to the EVO 4G LTE.
Like I stated, Andrew even stated the update was a 348MB file.
I thought I should post here what was relayed to me by the csr in hopes that it would help some of you to get the jelly bean update.

I will say this... Sprint is acknowledging there is a JB
Update for your evo 4g lte.

Understood. Tried to update my LTEvo using this method, didn't work for me yet. Thank you for sharing though.

I'm thinking Sprint might have found some bugs in the update?
To which they might have delayed the release for a couple of days?
But I really feel for certain JB update is imminent for the e4glte.

Re: Update coming to HTC evo 4g lte

Just spoke to an Andrew csr for Sprint. He said you needed to go to your settings>manage app>google services framework. Select. once inside, clear data and then force close .
Next, go to settings>system update>htc software update.
He said a you can select to start downloading a 348MB file.

He said it is the Android "Jelly Bean" update.

I repeated Jelly Bean right?
He said yes Jelly Bean!

He did say there will be only a limited amount released per day
Till Nov 27.
Then after that everyone can download it.

Note: I am still sporting an og Evo.
And am on the fence to upgrade to the EVO 4G LTE. And am very interested to see if the e4glte will get the jelly bean update?
I figured why not and try calling
Sprint myself. And this is the answer I got from Sprint t
Hope this helps

pretty sure clearing system framework has worked for me in the past (logitech revue) but I tried it 3x and could not get anything

Stock via wifi

Re: Update coming to HTC evo 4g lte

I have been trying the clear framework thing, and now I'm getting a box that says firmware update could not be completed, please try again later, code 1233

I was getting this error too. Before and after I tried clearing my framework.

Re: Update coming to HTC evo 4g lte

make sure to share (please) your connection type (wifi/3g/4g), location, and whether or not youre stock or any other considerable variables.

I don't know if anyone has thought of this but it is a weekend, and normally they don't release anything new (ie phones, software, updates) on a weekend. The update will probably become available Monday.

That's a given, I think the idea here is the update has been sitting there for a few days and there were just a few extra steps to get it

Yep, you are correct. I had to do this all the time on my Xoom to force an update that was available. Essentially it tricks the device into thinking it is new and that jumps the priority of updating to immediately; short-circuiting the phased rollout for that device. Of course, if there is really no update available, it will do nothing.

Re: Update coming to HTC evo 4g lte

I sure hope it is the update and we get it soon . I read that there is already and a Rom for the GS 2 that would bad if it got an update before our evo . Not a very good thought .

Re: Update coming to HTC evo 4g lte

I have friends with GS3's from 2 different carriers and they are still running ICS and I tried to force an update on theirs and there was nothing... Everybody needs too chill. If we do get the update next week we will be one of the first phones (that didn't come stock with JB) to have it. I have had 3 HTC devices and I have loved them. Don't get me wrong I am super stoked about getting it. But I am not pissed at HTC or Sprint about it.

Spencer the difference is their stock phones can make simple text and phone calls and ours that have issues can't. I'm not chilling. My product is malfunctioning Every hour. A fix needs to come like yesterday

Re: Update coming to HTC evo 4g lte

It's not the delay of getting jb. It's the fact that there was no small ics update to fix contact issues. It's how they are so mysterious about everything with this phone. They seem to make a point of confirming updates for every other phone except the EVO. Let's face it, we can't say with certainty we'll even get the update. Half of all the "leaked" material says it will be an ics update and it's a short holiday week this week so I'm not holding my breath.
