Supposedly it works fine, and the new update was changed a little bit so that if you accidentally apply it twice, it shouldn't brick the phone.

Does your new phone already have the update? If not, go ahead and apply it.

What about if you have root right now?

Risky. May work or may brick your phone. I wouldn't do it. Wait for the devs to put out a patched root version.

From Sprint through Twitter:

@sprint: If the 6/28 update for your HTC EVO 4G was successful, there is no need to reinstall the software a second time.

Check your software version. Settings<<About phone<<Software information<<Software number. If you don't have version 1.47.651.1 (the 6/28 update), then you should update. Otherwise don't touch it.
