HELP!!! Can I get Evo back to PRE pre-release without root? - EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

I am not rooted and I just installed the pre-release version. Do I need to root or can I get back to where I was yesterday so I will receive OTA from Sprint?
Or Root?
Thanks

If you don't have root, you'll just have to sit tight for now and enjoy your new ROM. You might have luck checking for an update on Tuesday if the version you have isn't the final released version. It may be days to weeks before some enterprising dev breaks root on the FroYo ROM.

Ok. I actually have no serious problems other than not being able to access YouTube. It says sorry cannot play video. What's up with that?
Thanks!

you need to download flash
Go to market and download Adobe flash showcase, then youtube will work fine.

go to your youtube app, and try playing the same video 2 or 3 times. This is what finally got it going right for me

Stock Desire OTA 2.29.405.2

Hi,
Just got this update this morning and not sure what changes it made (kinda hoping for new sense, with integration to htcsense.com but I don't think so)
Did any one else get this?
Does anyone know the changes that it made?
Thanks
BW
The solution is online for manual download since a month now.
Big advantage - no more 90% battery problem in the mornings.
I think this was "released" a little while ago - think there was a download link on here for it (think I read basically it was just a radio update?)
But thanks for letting me know - didn't see it on htc.com and nothing on HTC's twitter feeds - downloading and installing OTA now
Got the update too - using LeeDroid ROM though, so I didn't want to install it
Taking awhile to update... min to download, but the last 15 mins installing, rebooting, and then it booted up said "you have successfully updated to 2.29.405.2" then started counting up from 1% -> 58% so far on the htc logo...
Just finished: 9:09
Nice, update on move 25Mb needed on phone memory to update.
Just got the notification about this update this morning. I'm running a rooted, slightly modifierd Stock Rom. The update says it will upgrade the system to 2.29.405.2 and is 28,7MB big. At the bottom it says:
Update: Android Market
Haven't updated yet, since battery is low and I don't want to mess around with my perfectly working phone in the beginning of a long week.
Whats new in Android Market after update?

Been using 2.29.405.2 since the RUU was made available a month or so ago - it's fine to use
To anyone who'd download it:
Do I need to clear some space and wipe some apps so this update can be installed properly?
I'm using a stock rooted desire. Anyone knows if I'm going to loose root if I update OTA?

Yakju update 4.2 is out!

Hey guys,
A couple of hours ago I received the 4.2 update.
I have the Canadian version. I am running stock Android 4.1.2, flashed to Yakju. I am also rooted with CWM.
The update downloaded fine, however it gave me the infamous "error status 7" when it installing/flashing. When I rebooted and tried to check for update again it didn't give me the update notification .. So I am still on 4.1.2
I just thought I would share the news with ya all that it's out. If you guys know how I can get that notification again, or know where the update downloads on my device let me know and I will share the OTA here.
Cheers,

official updates don't work unless your on a completely stock setup, from what i understand.
I downloaded the takju 4.2 factory image from the official page and flash it.
love the new camera
Im Just about to takju my nexus,

yeah dude, nice one, thanks for not using logcat before you clicked update to get the url... karma got you for not sharing link, not you're stuck on 4.1.2 again like us!

we can help you but WE NEED THE OTA OURSELVES!!!!
All you have to do is, before you even CLICK THE UPGRADE BUTTON, BEFORE YOU DOWNLOAD IT, LOOK IN THE LOG AND GIVE US THE OTA LINK. We still haven't got yakju, we're all waiting desperately, the least you could do is to share the link to the OTA file with everyone here refreshing posts!
PLEASE. IF YOU GET AN UPDATE NOTIFICATION, DON'T TOUCH THE BUTTON AND DO THIS: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=21025378&postcount=27
once we get the link for it we can help you!!!
can you grab the update link

Lol I swear I didn't know how to ... And yes I have been trying to update it for the past while now but no luck.
I finally flashed one of the stock roms (bigxie) from the developers section and it seems fine so far
Sorry guys, will keep that in mind next time!

..if you want stock why not just flash the factory 4.1.2 image? It'll be faster to get 4.2 anyway than AOSP roms...
even better, flash the takju 4.2 fatory imageonto your yakju phone. Have heard it works fine but remember to backup your data
great, waiting for stock rom.
Do you know this?

That's only for factory images and are usually released after OTA availability i.e. it's slower
I am trying since morning. No success. I do not see many people getting it. Looks like we have to wait for a day or two.
BTW i sideloaded 4.2 on my N7 so the eagerness is little less now

Might be a patch don't take it. Or it could be camera related.
Could be a patch to get us up to 4.3 speed. Definitely advised to not take it.

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)

Maybe it's prep for 4.3.

Looks to be an attempt at fixing the camera at night time/low light and a microphone fix of some type.
There's also a new radio and kernel...

I am wondering if there is any reason not to go back to stock and take the ota. From what i heard once you are s-off you can always re-root , and the chances of vzw pushing s-on and breaking dev phones are slim to none

ZVD starts rolling out today

It is the knock code update
Edit: I should probably include a link..
http://www.androidpolice.com/2014/0...h-support-for-lgs-knock-code-security-system/
Got the update an hour ago. Im on zvc stock rooted so ill have to wait for the awesome devs to post it here.
awwwww yeaaaaaaaaaaaa finally we need this thanks for the info
And I'm assuming there's no wifi calling since it's not even mentioned?
Anyone captured the OTA update?
Has anyone released the ZVD radio yet?
I'm just waiting for someone to take the OTA and do a ROOTED BACKUP, and then put it on XDA....!
I'M NOT TRYING TO LOSE "ROOT" FOR KNOCK CODE.

you can just download it and dont reboot, should be in the cache folder in root.
The software update, which brings it up to Sprint’s version ZVD, also includes a new icon for HD Voice (something that’s being added to other devices as well), a patch for Google, and an updated email signature. Owners will also see improvements for group messaging.

From my phone, without using a PC, how do I get it from that folder to Dropbox or another file sharing Avenue?
use a root explorer to copy it to an sdcard then use dropbox app to upload it there.
I accepted the zvd update about an hour ago and lost root.
ioroot25 works with the zvd update.
I like how there is no WiFi calling.... especially with the crappy network and occasional issues with the Airave, you would think they would enable it for the G2 already, but no.:crying:

Marshmallow on zenwatch 1

Did anyone receive Marshmallow update on zenwatch 1.
nothing at this time... probably next year depending on asus....
not yet, I'm confident there will be the update sooner or later....
I think Asus have just forgotten first Gen users, they're so slow at releasing updates
I asked on their official forum, and an Asus rep did say that they are working on the update for the 1st gen Zenwatch, which means we'll just have to wait.
Thanks for letting us know that...atleast its coming to us.

The update was successfully downloaded and then it was going to install by rebooting.
unfortunately then it remained in the recovery screen for some time and then it restarted back to 5.1
Till then iam trying to get the update back by resetting device and clearing memory but no success.

Are you running the update with the watch in it's charging cradle and charging?.. This is the best (recommended) way to get a successful update.

Thanks, the update is downloading while its charging....but again installation is failing in recovery......if anybody knows how to copy this update file through adb or some other means then i could post it here and see hw it performs
Extracting OTA link from watch, instructions as follows.
It will only work if you have not yet downloaded update.
First you will need to enable Developer Mode on your watch (Settings>About>Build Number)
Keep on tapping BUILD NUMBER it until says that you are now developer.
After that in Settings > Developer options > Enable ADB Debugging
And connect your watch to computer via usb and accept/agree. (Hope you have adb installed in your PC/MAC)
This only works if you have not updated already. After that follow this steps in below link.
