My mothers Evo will not update to 2.3 on stock but the 2.3 update just offically came out yesterday and the phone says there are no new updates, but on sprint it says there is.
What do i do? Besides rooting i will not do that because its a damn pain?
You might have to manually update it.

Well hello Samsung user. Welcome to the evo. Rooting this phone is as pain free as turning your samsung on. Maybe you should read up a little bit.

No im good its my mothers for one and i got it to do it the 1st time i went to manually update it said there were no updates available but ok seeing how its out lol. the 2nd time it worked it updated it and thanks.
By the way no its not i've tried before 40 steps no thank you,
Try rebooting the phone, then updating both profile and PRL.
Unrevoked had my 2 evo's rooted in 5 minutes each. Not seeing how that is hard. But anyways, glad you got the update to go through.

Crap, just got done transferring about 20GB of data to my card... backup... grumble grumble.
Oh well, to have root explorer working and be able to delete the bloatware, it's totally worth it.
Yessssssssss
Cant wait to get started when I get home later today.
Bah, too early I guess. I don't want to flash an old firmware.

And this surprises you why? Not to worry, if they could make a bootstrap recovery for the Droid X, they can make one for this phone.
It just surprises me that HTC did it

with every other manufacturer doing this, it was only a matter of time
It's a signed Bootloader... HTC doesn't lock their stuff down like Motorola does...Be patient guys. You'll get the goodies

You seem to have missed the news that every HTC phone had a locked bootloader when it shipped.

Ladies & Gentlemen, as we speak I am manually checking for an update from HTC. There was actually a GB update waiting for download. Its either 4.24 or 4.26. Can't check as I am currently downloading. Please try....and post back with your experiences. Thanks!
Edit: This was already posted in the Evo Q&A Section and General Section.

Interesting was there supposed to be an update?
Maybe I'm missing something but I didn't see anything new for the Evo. Last update was in December.

Thee has been one major update which was the GB 4.22 update plus this one which is 4.24. It is only 6MB, so I'm sure its nothing major. Keep trying the manual update. Took me two tries.

How did you find this? I checked HTC support page. Where should I be looking? Running Cm7 I can't do it through the updates like on Sense.
Sent from my SPH-P100 using XDA Premium App
It is under Settings/Software Updates/HTC Software update.
FYI: It does not update radios, the locked hboot 2.16.001, or Wimax. It does seem to make my phone respond faster (apps snappier & data seems faster).

The faster response is probably a result of rebooting your phone and not having 100 apps running in the background eating up memory

Honestly you should just throw your phone out the window while driving down the freeway because you don't even have a clue about the rom you are running

Um.... yeah, it's been fairly obvious it's definitely coming.... eventually. So! Let's see a show of hands! How's ALREADY on gingerbread and couldn't care less about an OTA? I don't know anyone NOT on gingerbread.
Awesome, just in time to be obsolete. Ice Cream Sandwich?

Already is, since AOSP based roms (like cyanogen) and phones run 2.3.5 and the HTC version for the Thunderbolt is 2.3.4. Anyways, one doesn't stay stock and expect to be bleeding edge (unless you have a nexus phone).
Yeah, DroiDog said the same: http://www.droiddog.com/android-blog/2011/08/43692/
