EVO 4G’s OTA Pulled From the Datawebs
Firstly, it’s official: the new name for the “internet” is “datawebs”. Anywho, that update that was giving so many HTC EVO 4G owners problems yesterday has now been pulled. Users started reporting bricked devices when they accidentally applied the update twice (the phone would notify them of the same OTA update after they’d finished applying it and rebooting).
While the vast majority of consumers successfully downloaded and installed the most recent HTC EVO 4G software update, we have received a handful of reports from customers having some issues with the update. In light of this, HTC and Sprint have decided to temporarily halt distribution of this software release until we can investigate further. We expect to be able to resume software updates shortly.
After applying the update a second time, phones have essentially become very nice paperweights. We’ll be keeping our eye on the situation to know when HTC and Sprint’s cleared everything up, but I can’t imagine a good amount of you are sitting too well with this (especially considering how hard it is to get your EVO 4G replaced at this point in time).
