Latest HTC EVO 4G update fixes issues, bricks some phones

Many HTC EVO 4G owners may have noticed an OTA update for their handsets yesterday.  The new update (version 1.47.651.1) that Sprint is pushing out to the phone includes improved Wi-Fi performance, a fix to the integrated Facebook Sync feature which should help improve battery life, and a few tweaks to the Exchange Active Sync client.  It may not be the Android 2.2 update that many EVO 4G owners are looking forward to, but that should be the least of your worries.  Apparently, reports of bricked phones has forced HTC and Sprint to pull the update from rolling out to all HTC EVO 4G owners.  Some EVO owners reported that the update would still show up after the installation process and that installing it again would brick their handset.  Also, keep in mind that if you have a rooted HTC EVO 4G, the update would most likely turn your phone into a very fancy paper weight. 

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.
