HTC EVO™ 4G from Sprint will receive the Android™ 2.3, Gingerbread, update through an over-the-air maintenance release beginning on Monday, June 6.

 
Sprint will send update notifications to users in waves. The notification will let users know the update is available and provide the simple two-step, over-the-air download instructions.

 
 
Users will receive a notification that Android 2.3 is available for download.


Once the user has downloaded the update, they will be prompted to install the update. The user will be notified that their device will be disabled during the installation process. The phone will be ready to use once the process completes.
 
Can't Wait Until June 6?

 
For those who just can’t wait to get Android 2.3, there will be an easy user initiated option to download the upgrade starting on Friday, June 3. To access the update – from the home screen/Menu/Settings/System updates/HTC software Update. This will initiate the upgrade process.

 
The software release upgrades HTC EVO 4G to Android 2.3, Gingerbread. This version of Android improves download management through the Downloads application, offering the user easy access to any file downloaded from the browser, email or another application. It also fixes the devices ability to stream media through certain applications for the device.

 
Gingerbread restores HTC EVO 4G’s ability to sync multiple Gmail™ accounts, display email attachments in the email client and fixes battery discharge issues.

Remember, boys and girls, if you are rooted, do NOT take the OTA unless you unroot first.

Yes, it works fine with Gingerbread. It also works well with Honeycomb.

Granted, while they may screw up something with the OTA, remember that many of us have been on Gingerbread ROMs for quite some time now.

I have a question how on earth do i unroot my Evo. It has that wireless teethering application along with the superuser permissions. Some one else did the root for me? Please help out Asap want the new Gingerbread software.

I'm not rooted, mainly because I haven't had the desire of going to the trouble of learning how to do it. I would never let anyone else touch my phone, including (now I know) the Sprint "techs." Maybe sometime in the future I'll learn how to root and unroot but only for one reason: To get rid of Sprint's bloatware!

Since Launcher Pro works,  I wonder if Go Launcher does too.  I like Go Launcher because it uses less permissions, including the dreaded "phone state and identity."

Anyway, I hope I don't have any problems doing the manual update tomorrow.

No, you never accept a OTA when rooted or you will screw up your phone. You always unroot first or wait for the ROM developer to release an updated version.
