The HTC EVO 4G can be updated using its recovery menu.


Android is a mobile operating system that is owned by Google. It runs on many different mobile devices like smart phones and tablet computers. The HTC EVO 4G smart phone runs on Sprint's mobile network. The EVO is the first 4G phone offered in the United States. As with all Android devices, you can install updates to your Android via the phone's recovery menu. These updates come as zip files that are stored on your phone's internal SD card.
