Brand new htc evo 4g no gingerbread

zizzlfied

Newbie
So i traded my htc evo 4g for a htc evo shift 4g and it said it has 2.2, I thought ok ill see if it has the update and it said there is none availible! Is there somewhere I can download it or what can I do?
 
I jus ordered another Shift for Wifey last wk. It was suppose to come equipped with GB/2.3 according to Sprint's web site. But, it was delivered with 2.2. So, I went to " System Updates and HTC Updates." And viola there it was. I got my update to 2.3 last month OTA. Although, I must admit her phone seems to run alot smoother than mine. Her battery life also seems better than mine, and were both running Green Power Free & only a handful of apps.
 
from what I've been reading on here over the last few weeks, due to all the little bugs in gingerbread sprint has removed the update until it's cleaned up and repaired.
also, all shifts come with 2.2. 2.3 is an update
 
I never do the OTA updates. Always run the chance of losing your root. Best bet is to just wait till a rooted version of the OTA is out in a flashable form through recovery. Oh well just my 2 cents. I will say that the phone runs a little btr with the 2.3 on it though.
 
I guess I should've waited a couple more days to pick up my Evo Shift. I got it before Fourth of July with Gingerbread and now i can't root. Oh well...
 
All EVO shifts come with the 2.3.3 Gingerbread OTA update soon to be followed by every Android OS phone out there

Oh, and did i also mention that this absurd update is UNROOTABLE

No, Fre3vo will not work.
