You have to sweetened the pot with more than that, my friend. LOLHey I'll make you deal - if they bail on us, I'll owe you ten quatloos.
Oh, yeah! ... I do love dental floss.I'll throw in 10' of Montana's finest home grown dental floss.
And for good reason!I can now say that i am more leaning on optimism rather than pessimism.
This update won't be an OTA. And it will require a full wipe and reinstall of apps.Is it safe to accept the software (4.3) update without performing the burdensome full wipe and reinstalling all apps etc.? I understand that many folk with the Samsung GS4 had major problems after updating to 4.3. Any of that stuff after updating the HTC EVO 4G LTE?
In case anyone was wondering, this is what the partitions look like after the update:Ok, because of the raging misconceptions going around the blog comments out there, especially on Phandroid, I'm going to leave the original partition layout here.

No, you can not get an Android with just one partition.
No, partitions are not something that happened to this phone only.
Yes, the new update requires application of a special factory image called an RUU to re-size and redo the partitions.
No, they couldn't foresee this 2 years ago.
Yes, if they guessed and made the system partition bigger, it would have meant two years of complaints about less user storage.

HELP. SO i've downloaded the RUU, and I followed this guide http://androidforums.com/evo-v-4g-a...evo-v-4g-ruu-flashing-guide-unroot-guide.html to get the RUU on there. But, once i click the exe file the install shield wizard loads then closes and I can't get anywhere.
EDIT: when i run the exe file should i still be in the hboot mode or should i restart my phone and be on th ehomescreen
Okay, time for the noob to ask a stupid question.
A lot of people around the net are saying that you must uninstall HTC Sync before you can do the update, but those are the only backups I have for my data.
Do you really have to do that? And if so, does anyone have a suggestion as to how to backup my data?
This will be my first attempt at a RUU sideload, and I'm going to need a little bit of "nursemaiding".
Sorry to sound so dumb. If you'd rather reply via PM, that's fine, too.
I just don't want to brick my phone. I can't afford a new one.
And Helium Backup, free in the Play Store, can help with backing up apps and SMS, etc.
