HTC recently released some details stating when they’ll be updating their many devices to Android 4.1 Jelly Bean, but today we have some additional info on their flagship HTC EVO 4G LTE. Some new reports have been flooding in lately that the EVO 4G LTE will actually be updated via OTA update to Jelly Bean this week. Now, according to some leaked documents it looks like today is the day.
Obviously we’ll need to treat this as a rumor for now, but if the leaked internal screenshot tells us anything, EVO 4G LTE owners will be in for some tasty treats today. So far we’ve not received any confirmation that it is indeed rolling out — but we expect to hear more shortly.
The image above is a leaked document from the Now Network, showing the Android 4.1 Jelly Bean update is set to start rolling out today, November 15th, to the HTC EVO 4G LTE. After looking over a few of the details it looks like this will be a slow rollout over the next week or so, then all devices should be updated in due time. It mentions November 27th specifically today, but most users should receive the update before then.
The last bit of the document states Android 4.0 ICS instead of Jelly Bean, which obviously is wrong, so for now we’re chalking this up in the rumor mill until we actually see devices get updated today. For those that don’t want to wait, you could always grab a stable build of CyanogenMod 10 for the device, but this update is coming straight from HTC with Sense UI included. Stay tuned for more details.

Man, if this turns out to be true, this will be like an early Christmas for me. I updated my Nexus 7 yesterday, and now maybe my Evo today!
Keep in mind this is 4.1 Jelly Bean, not 4.2. But still
At this point, anything is better than nothing. 🙂
I really hope this is the case. I’ve got nothing so far.
I hope that this comes today as I have been waiting since Jelly Bean was announced.
uh nope…. not yet… and I even tried the old “adjust the time and restart” trick. . . . Nothing… 🙁
how about the new sense? is that included in it also?
With 4.1 we will receive the new Sense UI 🙂
Nothing yet
Yeah I got an update. It was an update to Sprint Zone. Smh..
and… nope :/
nothing
Nothing yet for me either…. :/
Nothing yet in Seattle except for the Sprint Zone update.
Still nothin…. So amped. I just want this waiting to be over!!! Enough already!!!
Nothing in the midwest
Still nothing in Louisiana…
Still nothing yet
Just got it in Arkansas.

Yes, a screenshot please
Also…how did you force the update to come to your phone? Firmware update or Software update?
he’s lying
What a complete letdown.. dont know why someone would want to post a hoax like that.. just to see everyone that disappointed?
Still nothing in Wisconsin!!
Unfortunately all my colleagues that have the S3 just got Jellybean over the weekend.. 🙁
Nothing yet
This sucjx
Nothing here yet either, although it did mention “by the 27th” so we still have a few days to keep our hopes up
If everyone was smart enough to actually read it says that on 11/15/12 they are only releasing to client initiated people and on 11/27/12 it will be released to the general public
Well today is the 27th, and still nothing!!! Just checked 2 minutes ago.. is there a certain “Time of Day” this will be released??? LOL!!!
11:30pm PT on 11/27 – still nothing. Is this supposed to be for US public?
I am officially giving up on this thread.. clearly SOMEONE had a good time out of this.. definitely NOT me though..
that should be 🙂
Sprint Social Media Team says that they don’t know when Jelly Bean will be ready for the EVO. Of course sometimes Sprint customer liaisons are the last to know.
I say fuck HTC and sprint all sprint customers to stop paying it bill and bankrupt there ass
A couple of days ago, I needed to contact Sprint tech support regarding an issue and the person I spoke with mentioned to me that a significant update would be coming OTA directly from HTC by the end of the month (November). She said it was supposed to have been released several days earlier but HTC was running behind schedule. She would not be more specific about the update but I assume it is Jelly Bean. Just thought I would pass this info along…take it FWIW.
Nothing here :(, I just checked my phone for updates, I’m starting to think I made the wrong choice picking EVO over Galaxy S3, my wife just got it and it already has JellyBean.
I heard it was dec 2
another liar. from where did you hear this news?
today is the 2nd
and now the 3rd.
omg I just got off the phone with. HTC .the date is going to be 12/10/12 just 10 days befor the world ends
another lie. Just a few days left though.
dude disqus_Tr7duX3EaR today IS the 10th. Where tf is this update you speak of?
disqus_Tr7duX3EaR your silence is deafening. Today is now the 11th and the update that HTC promised you is still missing. Did I call their bluff or what?
Saw a build number come through today 3.15.651.16, which is a few higher than the leak. I would expect this in going to happen this month.
