EVO 4G Update is Rolling!

My beloved EVO 4G. The whole reason I'm so in love with Android today. She has been neglected of late but alas not any more. You may have heard today 4.53.651.1 is available. Of course if your rooted you may just want to wait for these fixes to be ported to the ROM of your choice but in the meantime lets have a look at the changes and fixes in the update:

• Images in Picasa will no longer appear cut off
• Image size issue when transferring over blue tooth has been fixed (bout time)
• Group contacts are now in alphabetical order as they should be
• No more out of memory unable to send SMS fails 
• Voice Recognition Accuracy now works with voice search and voice to text as it should

Well let me dust off the good ole EVO and see whats up. More to come we got some great stories coming today.

Sensation 2.34 OTA update is rolling out....

Well T-Mobile is gearing up to push the Android 2.34 update out to it's HTC Sensation. The update will bring a host of improvements to the "Sensational" handset and will also include the the tools necessary for the HTC bootloader unlocking tool (the question of why comes to mind?) so users should see that going live really soon. Manually check for this if you don't have yet it is definitely confirmed to be rolling out. It should be noted that todays EVO 3D update was accompanied by the HTC bootloader unlocking tool. I dont think it would be a slippery slope to assume the same for the Sensation.

New Features

• Software Stability
• Improved Battery Life
• Improvement to Trace dictionary
• Improvements to screen responsiveness
• Video play back tweaks
• Device reboot and power off tweaks
• WiFi connectivity improvements
• Screen photo resolution is better now
• Icon pixelation is gone now

Again check folks these should be hitting your phone soon.. Let us know when you get your update and how it goes. Remember if you are rooted DONOT take the OTA. There are bound to be several other ways to get your 2.34 goodness.

Evo 3d Updates with New OTA 8/18/2011

Well it's here the OTA that is needed so you can unlock the phone via HTC's web site. But this also brings you many other things.

But first if you are one of the few that is S-off already do not take this OTA. There is a rom already made for it. As well as zip image files for you to flash the new Radio and setups. There are many fixes including the upgrade to Android Version 2.3.4.

Here is the link for the first Rooted Rom and also the Flash image files for radio and other goodies.

I have flashed the ROM, and Radios. They work great. As a bonus it now also brings Native Screen shots. You just hold the power and home key and it will take a screen shot.. Nice. I give thanks to xHausx for the very fast work he did in getting these out.

Here is what I did and it what order:

1) First Backup all your important data and info. I use My Backup Pro (Root) from the Market. It works great and it's free.
2) Downloaded the Shooter_2.08.651.2_odexed_rooted-signed.zip. and checked the MD5.
Note there is also a dedoxed version. Both will do the job.
3) Downloaded All 2.08.651.2 Firmware Minus hBoot.
4) I booted into recover (TWRP) and did a nandroid (Backup).
5) I rebooted into my present rom. Once back up and running using ES Explorer I renamed the Image file.
6) I rename the firmware file from PC86IMG_2.08.651.2_firmware_nohboot.zip. to PC86IMG.zip. I make sure this file is in the Root of the sdcard.
7) Now I rebooted into the bootloader. (I use quickboot) from the market it's free.
8) pick bootload, it will check your sdcard, find the PC86IMG and ask you if you want to apply it. I said yes.
9) After this I rebooted into fastboot. Then picked recovery.
10) I then did a phone wipe (completely) you may skip this by just clearing Dalvik and cache. But I did not want to take any changes.
11) After that I flashed the rom.

After reboot and putting my info back on. It was all working fine. The market downloaded all the apps and installed them. I then recovered my data and any missing apps from My Backup pro.

This rom is fast and works great. Note Google Chat does not have the Video chat enabled.
