Help! Evo 3.70.651 OTA failed, want to remove

[abjc89]

So I was going to update my phone to the latest, but it failed and gave me the android with a red triangle. Luckily, my phone still booted up and everything but annoyingly pesters me with the option to reinstall the update.

I was wondering how to get rid of it without doing the update. I'm referring to the persistent "System update is ready Tap to install the system update"

Thanks guys

Oh, figured it out... stupid. just click discard on the update popup...

sounds like you ARE rooted. I have never been able to do an OTA once rooted (though I have heard that other have succeeded). Why not install a custom ROM?

Real men don't do OTA's

I wanted to update to the most recent stock to identify if rooting is causing my phone to have a random boot loop when processor use is high. It is really annoying as it only happens when you utilize the phone the most.

use the app fast reboot (free) if you notice things slow buggy or force closing and you will likely never have that issue again. Hope this helps

the problem is that my phone reboots on its own... about every 30 min when I use powerAMP in conjunction with google Navigation.

Disclaimer: If you use my advice and eff up your phone it's not my fault and I am not liable. If you are not capable of reading from multiple other sources and ascertaining what is safe and within you level of competence to complete successfully then you should leave your phone in a usable stock configuration.

Check the temp on the proc. I'd try a diff rom though or re flashing with proper and repeated cache clears. Honestly though I never had a reboot except on a when running a poorly coded app the was leaking/eating too much memory (or a bad rom/flash)

You could try flashing the latest stock ROOTED rom and the latest Radio etc.. (DO YOU NANDROID BACK UPS & BACK UP YOUR WIMAX IT SAVE MY BUTT)

I would also look into using unrevoked's permanent s-off (the have an s-on tool, if you were to need to return the phone) so you don't get stof with a les than desirable h-boot version with no s-off (don't even know if you can, I'm rooted so I don't care) better safe than sorry.

So if on a stock rom you have these issues then might be a phone problem try uninstalling power amp and just using lots of other apps that eat lots of memory (keep them active the OS auto kills them when not active) so like a video playing etc... to see if it's a memory issue.

sounds to me like you need to do some more exhaustive trouble shooting.

Come backe when you have more through info

If the issue persists
