If you find yourself among the thousands of HTC EVO 4G owners who happened to flash the unofficial Froyo update to your phone a little over a week ago, we’d like to let you know that an official OTA fix is now available.  HTC is pushing out a patch for all phones running on 3.26.561.3 which will update the phone to the official 3.26.561.6 ROM build.  To grab your update, simply press: menu > settings > system updates.  Keep in mind that if the download is not yet available, you can always bump up your handsets date by a few weeks which should trigger the download process.   Be sure to let us know how it goes.

Many HTC EVO 4G owners may have noticed an OTA update for their handsets yesterday.  The new update (version 1.47.651.1) that Sprint is pushing out to the phone includes improved Wi-Fi performance, a fix to the integrated Facebook Sync feature which should help improve battery life, and a few tweaks to the Exchange Active Sync client.  It may not be the Android 2.2 update that many EVO 4G owners are looking forward to, but that should be the least of your worries.  Apparently, reports of bricked phones has forced HTC and Sprint to pull the update from rolling out to all HTC EVO 4G owners.  Some EVO owners reported that the update would still show up after the installation process and that installing it again would brick their handset.  Also, keep in mind that if you have a rooted HTC EVO 4G, the update would most likely turn your phone into a very fancy paper weight. 

While the vast majority of consumers successfully downloaded and installed the most recent HTC EVO 4G software update, we have received a handful of reports from customers having some issues with the update. In light of this, HTC and Sprint have decided to temporarily halt distribution of this software release until we can investigate further. We expect to be able to resume software updates shortly.
