EVO Update?

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.

The Nexus S 4G is a CDMA fone. CDMA fones do not use sim cards. Also boost does not take out side esn's so to get it on boost u need to change the esn(its illegal). But Google is ur friend!

Because its like IMEI, you could use it to get past blocks, or in the case of esn, use it on another network that only allows there devices on it

Wait 6 months from when you bought the phone, call att and ask to talk to supervisors a few times, say you're going out of the country and hey should give you one assuming you've been with them for a while and are in good standard payment wise

Turn your phone off. Remove battery and sim card, wait 2 mins, put back together and reboot. You will have the latest PRL.

Call US cellular and have them run the IMEI to check it.
Unfortunately, as far as unlocking it and putting it on AT&T, I'm currently not seeing any unlocks for that to make it possible.

Honestly, after doing some searching... the people in this thread link below may be of the most help to you. Phone unlocking and flashing isn't my most knowledgeable subject... and according to the thread below, it's somehow possible to unlock this CDMA phone to a GSM network... which would include AT&T. So, I wish you good luck. And maybe someone more knowledgeable on this subject will answer you here.

According to the thread, you must be rooted and be on a 4.1.2 AOKP ROM for it to work.

My suggestion would be sell the us cellular one and get the one you need. You can unlock and flash but you will be limited to 3g data speeds. Your calling and texting should be ok.

And that's most likely what I will do/amd doing already, but in the mean time I would like to be able to use it. So I found and easy root methed and the phone is now rooted. because its cdma does it still need *unlocked* ?

Make a backup of the stock ROM to your internal and external memory if you have an SD card in it. Go to that thread link I provided you earlier and see if it works for you.
You'll have to flash a ROM such as the one the thread talks about to get the menu.
