[Q] Unrevoked and Not updating

---

Alright guys/gals.My question here is this.Using unvevoked3 and not updating to the new OTA update is okay? I'm still having problems with sync not syncing? Thats cause i have not updated yet. Will my phone be alright without the update even though i want it..I cant seem to update it to my evo.Either no one helps or its not in plain English for some of us that dont have the experience rooting or unrooting.

What do you all think? Anyone in the same boat as me.? They say put the file on your sdcard root file.Where in the hell is that?

**** does happen and im in deep **** without the update.

Ok this should be easy. If u are unrevoked and u are full rooted running a custom Rom then just flash the update. There should be a post with the zip that u can flash in recovery to apply the update. If not then just wait for your custom Rom to be updated to the next version with will be surely base on the latest ota. Like u said it's def.ly not a big deal.

BUT:
If u are running stock or want to remain on a stock Rom just flash the rooted 2.2 base on the new OTA, Can be found here http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=789913

Edit: came across this, should help you also http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=790394

I have that update on my computer already. Then they say to put in in your sdcard root.I don't know how to find that. I'm using revoked 3, stock Rom I'm sure. Clockwork mod is installed. Please help. Instructions does not help me much. How do I just flash it.

Ok if u have it on your SD then that's easy providing that u got clockwork mod or another custom recovery. Just boot your phone into recovery, I use quickbot. U can also use Rom manager to boot your phone into recovery and also flash a clockwork recovery . Once in recovery just go to flash update from zip, then select the zip(should be the one on your sd) confirm and then reboot. You're done.

Edit:
Putting it on the root of your sd simply means drag and drop it to the main folder on your sd card, where u see all the other files and folder. Just open up your sd card in a browser(double click removing disk from my computer) and also the folder on the computer where u have the file. Then drag and drop it on your sd card. Where u dropping the files is the root of ur sd, hope this helps.

Get to SD root - connect your EVO to your PC through USB and mount it through disk drive from the notification bar then drag your update file onto the SD card, i.e. on my windows laptop, root would be the window "Computer->Removable Disk (G: )

To flash - power off then hold vol down + power button to get into hboot and then select recovery. once there, select flash zip from sd card and select your update file. let it finish and you should be able to reboot into the updated rom.

*quick boot is an app from the market that allows you to easily reboot into recovery for rooted phones

Quicker method ,note that your removable disk may be a different letter depending on how my disk/drive on your pc.

it's not that literal.

select install zip from sdcard and then navigate to the zip

Went to install zip from sdcard.After that my options are apply sdcard:update zip choose zip from sdcard etc.When i went to apply sdcard update.zip it gave me e: cant open /sdcard/update.zip no such file or directory.installation aborted.When i go to choose zip from sdcard at the bottom i have update.zip.zip. but the folder i put in there does say update.zip renamed.

Again thank you....

Michael this is an invalid file name. U do not have to rename or alter any thing with the update file. The file is already a zip file so the extension is already a .zip file. Any file that is zip will always be for example 'filename.zip'. you adding a .zip to the file name will make the file unacceptable as there is no .zip.zip file. Just leave the original file you downloaded as is. Once in recovery you can then follow the same steps you mentioned. Go to choose zip from sd card,u will see the zip file on the sd,select it then confirm and install. U should be fine if u follow these steps.
