System Upgrade 1.47.651..1 (21.43 MB) Now Available

holy crankies...i got some bad news..my evo was installing update (system update) and now the screen is off and no activity...i left it ofr 10 mins and its still off.. i tried holding the power button with no success.. i took out the batt and held power button put it back in still wont turn on...WTF

Mine did the same....Wife's phone upgraded wonderfully, However on mine during the update (I assume after one of the reboots) went blank....now no action at all...press power button (nothing)

My phone was Un-Rooted-Nothing special about it....did mine and wife's at same time......

I installed new update, uninstalled unrevoked, then reinstalled it and it still works. anybody having same luck. But whenever I unlock it says, "operation failure, please check the su command" . Anybody know what that problem is. Is it the widgets?

Just restarted cleared everything working. Now i have everything working including root...


No.. I did that too and none of my rooted apps can gain root access. Can you tether successfully??

From unrEVOked's twitter update:
unrevoked We hope to release a patched OTA tonight for #evo4g that allows you to preserve your root and still get all the benefits of the OTA.

I also emailed the Dev of Shoot Me and he said we will need to reroot in order to use it. Hoping everything comes together later tonight.

A couple of things I noticed post-update:
Before, if I turned the phone off I would have to wait about 10 minutes before pressing the power button would actually turn the phone on. This seems to be fixed.

I went into Manage Applications, and it came up quickly, as opposed to before where it would be about 30 seconds to a minute of thinking before it was useable.

I ran the update this morning. My EVO has a few apps installed but no rooting. The updated took a lot longer to install than I thought. Almost to the point I got worried. However everything appears to be fine. I have not noticed anything missing or anything I had to reinstall since the update. What I have noticed is the EVO does seem a faster and when opening the Manage Applications, it took 3-4 seconds to open vs. the normal 15-20. Also

Where are you getting the update from? When I go to check updates for both firmware and htc software update I get a message saying there are no updates for my phone. I wonder if they are rolling it out based on location.



I had the same problem...I just kept "Checking for update" and it finally said there was one available. I think I did a total of like 15 checks in a row before it said there was one available. That was my experience anyway.
