The reason for the update is to repair some issues that select EVO's are having with the included microSD card.
Check here to read about the exact issue many are having:

It isn't worth losing root.
do not accept it. we will make a rooted version. they could patch root with it and ruin the chance of root

I won't be. I just thought it would be beneficial to tell the folks here.
For anyone tempted to accept the OTA, or any update from Sprint or HTC, take a little visit to the Hero forum.
How do we ensure we do not receive the OTA update? Please post instructions!!

If it's the same as the G1, then all you have to do is refuse the update. It will ask you if you want to update, just say no. Correct me if I'm wrong or it's been changed.

Easy:
Step 1. Do not go to Menu > Settings > About Phone > System Software Updates
At least that's how it is on my CDMA Hero running Aloysius 2.1.

this is true. should be the same on the evo. once we make a rooted version, the reminder will go away. it should take no more then an hour for the update to be rooted and uploaded. so be patient, most likely its not going to be a life altering update to froyo. itll just be a patch update

the phone will have to download the update to the sdcad and require u to reboot into recovery if that were the case. im not sure as ive never seen this happen first hand. all the OTA's ive senn just came up with a notice saying... you have a software update availible. wwhen u click it, it will take u to setting and ask if u would like to download it now. u can say no. but if u say yes it will download and when its finished, ask u if u would like to reboot to apply the update. if u say no again ur still in the green. if u say yes it will take u to hboot (bootloader) menu. at this point it will searche for the update on the sdcard, validate and flash it. this is how it worked on my wifes Eris at least and the CDMA hero worked the same way. note this though. Sprint doesnt seem to like doing full rom updates via OTA. they have in the past always made the update avail via the Sprint support site. this was the case for both the Moment and the HeroC. again thi isnt for certain things will work this way on the Evo. but im assuming HTC/Sprint wouldnt bother changing their methods all of a sudden just for the Evo. but again anything is posible
i may just have them hand me a box then, and tell them i will activate at home. i can pull the sd card and use my N1 to put the files on it, and boot straight into bootloader, flash, then do the recovery dance, all before said phone looks for updates.
thanks for the heads up about auto checking. maybe some of the nice folks on the east coast that are going to have the phone 2 hours before i will can post up whether or not this happens, once they get theirs

From the Evo Manual:
Updating Your Device’s System Software
From time to time, system software updates for your device may be available. Your device can automatically
check and then notify you if an update is available. You can then download and install the update to your
device. Depending on the type of update, the update may erase all your personal data and customized
settings, and also remove any programs you have installed. Make sure that you have backed up the
information and files you want to keep.
To check for phone system software updates manually
1. Press > and then tap Settings > System updates > HTC software update.
2. On the System software updates screen, tap Check now.

Maybe I am not following you completely...but why would you try to take an OTA when you are unlocked and rooted?
Second, I don't believe there are any OTA updates for the Vzw One as of yet.
It looks like you attempted to install an update for the European/International HTC One.
Why you are trying to do so, I'm not sure.
But you don't wanna install that, even if you could...

Well, I assumed you had the Verizon HTC One, since you posted in the Vzw One forums.
If you have the International One, you may wanna post in the relevant forums.
Folks will be much more capable of helping you with roms/software intended for your model over there.
The OTA will not install while you are unlocked and running a Custom Recovery.
Try finding a rooted version of the latest OTA version for your device in your device's Development forums.
That would be the best, most appropriate way to update the stock software while staying rooted and unlocked.
Good luck! :good:

Thanks! I haven't yet.
I have gone back and forth about it quite a bit. (still thinking about it every day, lol)
Can't really give up or don't want to give up my Unlimited though.
Since someone was very kind and gave me a DNA a little while back, I may stick with it for now.
Still a vast improvement over the 'ol Thunderbolt, though I loved it too for quite some time.
There has been some talk of some very kind folks pitching in to help me get a One though.
So that way, I can keep my Unlimited and hopefully work on both the One and the DNA in the not too distant future.

Flashing another ROM with built in OTA blocker should work or any ROM but you may get prompted repeatedly if it doesnt have OTAs blocked.

When she gets home I'll see if I can track it down.
I got notified for the update after it automatically downloaded at 11:38AM CST. It downloaded into /cache/fumo/ as OTAPkg.zip, just like the last update.
I have uploaded the file here for whomever would like to take it apart.
I hit check new, and it downloaded it but then nothing happened and it didn't give me the option to apply it. Clicking check new now does nothing. Weird.
EDIT: never mind, it prompted me. I'm installing it now (I don't care about root)

Were you rooted with a custom recovery? You should know that you need to be 100% stock to accept updates and as this clearly is made to block root you cannot even be "just rooted."
That's exactly right. My phone was "just rooted". Lesson learned. The bright part is I got another chance to refresh my experience to use odin to unblock it.

Glad you got it working. Always wise to wait and see what others say about the OTA's first. It is safe to assume that security will only get tighter going forward. Wait for developers to pull bootloader and baseband out as a flashable, then also update the ROMs to be able to get on the latest. Most of the time someone will post a pure stock rooted ROM.
How do you use odin to unblock this OTA? What do you load?

The stock keyboard is killing me when choosing words from the suggested list with this update. It always double spaces when selecting a word! That and with swipe not being totally accurate it's a headache. Guess I'll download kii and make it my default.. It's also crazy how this phone never gets updated with new kernels. My mom's S3 went up to 3.4.0 after kitkat and this phone did not. Why?

Ran into an issue with this update. It failed to install on 11/3 with a error code 409, but when I try to download it again by selecting "Check for new system updates" it says I have the latest update. I've rebooted a number of times and it shows up every time. From what little information I can find online, I have to reset my phone to factory then attempt to update again. I want to avoid this so here I am.

I'm not rooted.
Update: I decided to just to a factory reset. Thankfully it worked and I am at the latest firmware.
So I've tried letting this update run a couple times. Downloading for the third time as I write this. When it tries to install, it just reboots into TWRP recovery and does nothing. Then I restart the phone and basically start the process all over again. Any guidance on how to get this squared away?? I met one of the members here with a card who S-offed, unlocked, rooted, my phone which I'm thankful for. Just want to be stock rooted is all. Don't really do much with custom roms on this phone. Thanks.
