The Promised EVO 4G OTA Update v1.47.651.1 Is Here - Not Froyo, Details Inside http://www.androidpolice.com/2010/06/28/the-promised-evo-4g-ota-v1-47-651-1-is-here-not-froyo/ Looking after everything Android Wed, 08 Feb 2012 19:26:02 +0000 hourly 1 http://wordpress.org/?v=3.3.1 By: Jasonhttp://www.androidpolice.com/2010/06/28/the-promised-evo-4g-ota-v1-47-651-1-is-here-not-froyo/comment-page-1/#comment-43706 Jason Tue, 29 Jun 2010 13:46:53 +0000 http://www.androidpolice.com/2010/06/28/the-promised-evo-4g-ota-v1-47-651-1-is-here-not-froyo/#comment-43706 Bricked my Evo... here's what happened. Yesterday afternoon in Milwaukee, I get notification that there's an OTA update. Start it, then go to Firefox to check it out... get scared seeing the brick reports already... let it finish, it updates fine (took a long time, 3-4 reboots). This morning, get notification of another update (different version number from last night). Again check web, see all the news and blogs posting last night about Sprint stopping the updates until things are fixed. Think, OK, all these sources say Sprint has stopped the update until it's fixed, it must be fixed. Brick. Seems Sprint either didn't really make the OTA update unavailable.

Also.. Underneath the Sense clock widget where it shows location all it says is 'My location' and nothing else and WILL NOT update no matter what I do. Also.. again.. the backlight on my Home, menu, back and search button are staying lit. I cant turn the Sense UI off now since I updated.. it just reloads it everytime I go to the home screen.

I havent tested wifi yet, hopefully that improves. at my work desk I usally have 3 bars at the most of reception. I can now confirmed that I have full bars.. I'm not sure if this update had anything to do with it but every phone I have owned has always given me 3 bars at my desk and now its full or it has for the whole day. updated just fine.. facebook app still does not give notifications, still need bloo for that.

Even if your Evo states that an update is needed. Reapplying the update will brick your Evo. Do NOT reapply the update once it has been updated. Even if your Evo states that an update is needed.
