Upcoming EVO software update ready: rooted or regular

Attention EVO owners, word is that a new OTA update is headed your way: version 3.30.651.2. Those of you who don’t like waiting can grab a rooted version over at xda-developers. Included are improvements to the camera software, kernet, hBoot, and other miscellaneous system fixes. It’s a minor, incremental jump. (I wonder if it will fix a recent bug that frequently leaves me with a blank screen and notification bar.)

If you just want to skip the waiting and go for the standard, non-rooted version, it can be found in this thread. And once again, here is the rooted version with busybox. Standard .zip flash routine, use at your own risk. Personally, I’m just a little weary of jumping on updates ahead of time these days. Of course a Nandroid back up saves the day for rooted users. What about you?

What is this new update for???

Hey John, out of curiosity, have you recently installed chompsms? Me and two other friends recently installed it and now all have the same issue with the screen. All 3 of us have evos. An easy soluton to refresh the screen is to just hold down the power button and then exit out. Its annoying though. It could be something besides chomp but it started when we installed it and started using it.

I got that app once and honestly u should take it off. I admit that it does look nice but after a while my Evo did get buggy and it started to get annoying. Take it off;.

Does flashing the rooted version do a complete wipe or simply an upgrade?

Of course CyanogenMod but I also like Fresh EVO (http://geekfor.me/). But the "new update" on that page is the last one, not the one I posted about here. Are you asking just about EVO ROMs?

yeah for the evo. I live in Minneapolis so i would like to keep 4g i heard cyanogen doesn't have 4g. is that true?

Fresh has updated now.

hey john i was wondering im new to flashing roms but in your opinion what roms are the best.

downloading now. thanks john

i just need my evo to run faster, lately its been going a lot slower and i try deleting apps and such but nothing helps...
