Sorry if this has been addressed in another thread. I didn't see one dedicated to it and it's a hard thing to search.
So the update is available again today, Sunday 8/1. Does anyone know if it's still the 3.26.651.3 release? I installed one of the rooted ROMs and just wanted to know if I need to worry about updating again (to a newer rooted ROM) due to a newer official version.
Thanks!
So, official OTA is live? This is new.

Also, running one of the current ROMs means that you should plan to update. All of them have some kinks. They're very fresh.

Where did you see a new update posted? Please link to whatever you are getting that from...
No updates available for my phone using the settings..system updates (tho I am on the leaked 2.2)
I think he's referring to sprints post about froyo being available the week of 8/1.
Htc said the current froyo wasn't final so yes you will need to update again.

I did a manual HTC software update on my wife's unrooted Evo at about 8PM (pacific) and got a message saying an update was available.
I haven't installed it, but I did download it. Can anyone tell me where it's saved to?
Dare yea to take the update then tell us if you are still rooted.

Wait. So you installed the unrooted update, then got a notification that an update is ready on the same phone? Should be safe, just make sure the version numbers are different.
EDIT: Think you can copy it off the phone and post it somewhere?

No, sorry for the confusion. I have two phones; my rooted Evo and my wife's unrooted Evo. I installed the rooted ROM on my phone. I was curious on Sunday to see if the "official" update was available for manual updaters, as some sources had suggested, so I did a manual HTC software update on my wife's stock 2.1 unrooted phone. I was offered an update for the new 3.whatever/1.47whatever update (I don't have it in front of me)
I'd be happy to upload it, but I'm not sure where's it's stored. It didn't seem to be in the SD card's root, or under downloads. does anyone know where it would be?
HTC's twitter had something to say about an hour ago:
http://twitter.com/HTC
Why "trolling?"
I'd really like to know why someone tagged this with "trolling." What did I do that you'd call me a troll? All I did was ask a simple question about the update I got on my phone on Sunday.
I have to say, while not the most unfriendly place I've ever visited, it's pretty ****ing close. You guys are constantly at each other's throats and constantly insulting each other. I've never seen the word "troll" used as much as I have here. I've never seen so much ridicule and flaming over nothing.
Some people are actually pissed off (and actually insulting people!) because some other users dared say they weren't impressed with Froyo. Are you ****ing serious? Really? That bothers you? Holy ****; you really need to get a life. Others were actually put off by the idea of starting an "off-topic" thread in the Evo group! Talk about not having enough to worry about! I've seen a poster called a fanboy and a troll because he simply mentioned CM6. It seems like everyone who dares make a positive statement about a ROM is automatically a fanboy troll.
It seems like anytime a person other than a developer starts a thread, someone has to say something insulting about the user or impinge their motive behind starting it. I fully expected someone to make a negative comment concerning me starting this thread -- I just didn't realize you'd be such a ***** that you'd have to hide behind tagging it.
The developers seem like decent people, but a lot of you hangers-on are just a bunch of immature, self-important, assholes who seem to feel a need to insult others and their choices in order to feel better about yourself and the choices you've made.
I'm sure this will be considered trolling, but since everything anyone does is labeled as such, it's sort of lost its meaning
We used to have a rule that the first person to bring up Hitler, Nazis, or the 3rd Reich in an argument automatically lost -- it's a mark of a weak intellect and a dearth of ideas. I think the same needs to be said about you idiots who trot out "troll" on every thread. I've been here a month and it's already gotten old.
New people are not going to stick around if you treat them like this.

that pretty much nails this forum
if you check for updates again can you right down, and post here he name of the update they list?
i do not recall if it gives a file name or revision number.
otherwise you might have to do it on your phone and then use root explorer or something to find the file.
i do not know if it is downloaded as "update.zip" or not.
you can also offer to upload it to one of the many hosting sites that are used here and one of the dev's cna look at it to see if its different than the one from last week.
Unrooted Stock 2.1 EVO here, there are no new updates available.
Allow me to end this discussion with an official source.
Sprint: "Sprint is the first wireless carrier to bring Android 2.2 to customers using the award-winning HTC EVO™ 4G beginning Tuesday, Aug. 3"
Tomorrow is the day that you are looking for.
I have used the most positively annoying, font and color combo to make this post complete.
Now stop with the rumors.

OK asswipe. Here is a picture of my wife's evo asking to do an update with your post in the background to show it's today. Notice the picture timestamp and phone time are the same (today at 9:15pm Pacific) and that my post was about eight minutes later. I don't seem to be able to post a pic or a link, so I put it up at ouiswing.com/photo4asswipe.jpg.
I'm not spreading rumors. I don't know what this update is and I'm trying to find out. Stop being a ****. Not everyone is playing games like you.
What is wrong with you people? And you made your point just by being the most annoying ass in the thread -- the font was overkill. But then moderation isn't something you would appear to understand -- it's just "I disagree! BASH!" with you.

Thanks, I appreciate the help. I thought this was a place for learning, but I don't understand how anyone can learn something when they obviously feel they know everything already.
All I want to know is: how do I find out if this is the same version as the one that came out Thursday or Friday, which I believe was 3.26.651.3? I tried to find it on the SD card, but I can't.

Channel: #sprint-epic-touch on freenode if you have an IRC client
Web Connect: http://webchat.freenode.net/?channels=sprint-epic-touch
----------------------------------------
Regardless of who's wrong or right, the channel #samsung-epic-touch is an unhelpful and hateful waste of time right now.
I have been in PM convos with several other people and it was clear that an alternative was necessary.
Well, we've got that alternative.
Stop in at #sprint-epic-touch on freenode as a kinder, gentler alternative.
Lol... Thanks. Hopefully we get some people in there... I can't help everyone myself.
Just one hint: make sure you appoint trustworthy operators with experience. Don't hand +O to just anyone. And if you don't know what +O does... Talk to Shabbypenguin. I'm sure he's hanging around. Give him +F.

For future reference, smaller IRC networks like FOSSnet (irc.fossnet.info - webchat.fossnet.info) tend to be more responsive. I can vouch for network staff there - if things get out of hand, they will assist. Good people.

Remember, its ALLWAYS quality over quantity fellas..
i'd rather have a channel of 25-35+ AWESOME nice devs then a channel of 50 people who are obviously just penis riding a certain someone, which will obviously just be a channel of 50 people who say offensive stuff.
Plain and simple, its all about kindness and helping people about.
Theres no need to lie on the internet, say you have a family, ect -- all the while acting like a 17 year old basement dweller in his grandparents basement.

CNZ is an ass and I refuse to go back to the other channel.
Now how do i get an invite!?

yea i could, but he gives us a bad rep.
especially if new epic touch owners hop on for help and gets insulted instead.
the channel should be opened back up for people who'd like to help others without insults or racist remarks which i've seen PLENTY of by the same person.
Okay guys, after the ridiculous debacle today, those of us who frequent the IRC channels decided that it was time for a change.
For most of the day, that change was moving to a new channel. However, after some talking a few of us actually got cnz(RoadRAGEN) to listen to reason. He's turned over control of the room to an unbiased bot and gave a number of us operator passwords. To top it off, he's agreed to stay off the op list unless absolutely necessary (he won't be raging out anymore, he has his own private channel for that now). The rest of us can sign into the bot and get ops so we can keep peace and order if needed. Otherwise, the only people who get automatic ops are the bots and no one else.
Okay, first the one and only new rule. No more posting logs on xda. the moderators are probably sick of it by now and it accomplishes nothing besides starting fights. if you do post logs and we catch you, you'll get banned until you take it down. To make it worse, we don't stop cnz from doing it himself. It's counterproductive and stupid.
Lastly, cnz(RoadRAGEN) said he will dial it down inside the channel and around here. He had a talk with the moderators today and we had a talk with him in the channel. XDA didn't ban him and neither will we. It was talked about for a minute...but he banned me first...it was a fiasco. BUT, it's fixed now.
Now before you get all apprehensive, remember that despite cnz being a complete douchebag who often forgets what "crossed the line" means, he's still one of our most talented developers and has contributed a lot to this young community. Every rom up in here either directly uses his original updater script, uses a heavily modded version or pieces of it. Yes, sometimes he's incredibly insensitive and no one in their right minds would defend his personality or his actions (especially today), but he understands what happened here today and knows that doing it again is stupid.
It's all about the Android so you can come out from under your beds, the boogieman isn't also the doorman anymore.
If you're still angry about the incident, it's understandable. But remember, like xda, irc is a community and in no way do the actions today represent the community as a whole. It was as a community that we discussed the problem and it was a community that we dealt with it. So don't think this decision was made lightly.
If you don't agree, please keep the flaming to yourself. We don't need another out of control thread about IRC around here.
So this means my +q will be taken off?

Yes, but it might take a minute, we're still kinda learning how to operate under the "bot is god" paradigm.

nevermind we already lifted all the bans and stuff. all's well. clean slate.

Perhaps I should point out that my question was rhetorical.
It's as simple as this.
IRC is not XDA...
DO NOT bring IRC related drama to XDA...
It really doesn't get much simpler than that does it?
(again, rhetorical question)
It's very simple...that's why there's no drama in this thread

I seem to have missed all that, so I guess I'm the ignorant party at the moment. I really don't think the changes made or this thread should be held responsible for the unwieldy comments of others, though. I've been nothing but civil in all this
But I don't blame you, though. I can't imagine people are going quietly into that good night and I'm sure I've been getting my fair share of the flames as well for trying to mediate all this nonsense.
I wasn't pointing the blame in any particular direction.
Just making sure everyone is on the same page.

Of course not, I didn't mean to insinuate that lol.
When I went to bed last night everyone was on the same page, but I got a bunch of PMs saying I was "flamed by some noob" and the thread/posts are gone (I guess that was your doing lol, thank you). I was just saying the angry words of a few don't represent the opinions of the rest of us.
People have their opinions. That's not illegal yet, so I'm not offended. However, if my name is eventually going to be Mudd, then I'll probably end up ceasing my attempts to help out and go back to my little corner to make roms again

Hey guys just fyi, I'm not associated with the channel anymore. After nearly a dozen PMs in IRC and almost another dozen on here about how I'm a hate monger and a jerk off, I've decided that it's not worth it and I've had enough.
To all of you who PMed me with negative things, you should be ashamed of yourselves.
To those of you who appreciated the efforts, sorry I couldn't do more.
Being ostracized because I refuse to bend to Mob Rule just feels wrong to me, but that's what is happening. Apparently I was being offensive by treating everyone with equal respect without discrimination and not being an anti-cnz hate monger like everyone else.
It sucks, I liked that irc channel, but there's capable people running it still. I won't be going back. I'm tired of being nearly constantly flamed for trying to be fair and helpful.
*sigh* I feel better now. Peace guys.
Hello all I just wanted to invite everyone to come chat and share your thoughts on the IRC Channel for the Samsung Galaxy Nexus on Freenode.
Channel name = #samsung-galaxy-nexus
Click HERE for webchat
So, where is all the people at?
Hmm yeah dead in there, no topic. Has anyone even registered the channel?
I think so, when I joined (as Berger) I was automatically de-oped, but I registered another channel #SamsungGN if the owner doesn't come back
I'm in right now, but about to shower. Probably just leave it up the rest of the night. I'm DerekSalem
#samsung-galaxy-nexus has 2 people in it....
But there is #gn which has a bunch of people in it.
Do t-mobile note 2 folks hang out in irc at all? Didn't know if any did, or if there were channel(s) people hung out in that were note 2 relevant. Just curious, and too lazy to poke around irc-land
That I don't know.
The only time I use IRC anymore is on irc.twit.tv.
I am now curious too.
