HTC EVO 4G Software Update - 4.53.651.1

Upvote 0
supposedly gingerbread fixes netflix right? i'm still on froyo (don't ask my why i bought the phone day before yesterday and it still has froyo well after the update was released) and i can't get the hdmi to actually put out with netflix. sound will go though. and it does detect that the hdmi cable is indeed hooked up.

bigger problem though. i've downloaded the update six or seven times today and it won't take. it gets about 1/3 of the way through the update when it restarts and freezes. gives me the little android with the triangle and the ! and i have to do a hard reset. any thoughts?

I downloaded the update, and for the first few days, everything was great. Last night, however, I was using the camera for a little bit, it froze up, so I exited out and thought nothing of it. Well, a couple of hours later, it started into a continuous reboot and won't stop- Guess I'm on the way to Sprint AGAIN to get yet another new Evo. I hope they are open today...

If anyone knows how to fix this, PLEASE let me know. NON ROOTED.

Hows this, I didn't realize that the update would eliminate my root on my phone as I didn't search these forums, like an idiot, when the OTA came out. I looked for a way to revert but haven't found much. Is there anyway to re-root the phone with this update in-play. I know in BIG bold letters it says not to update but like I said I failed to do my homework...
