Earlier today Engadget posted up a link to manually update your HTC Evo to 2.2 Froyo goodness, but the file was shortly taken down. HTC claimed that this is not a final build, but hey it's FROYO! Well we were able to snag the file, and we have it for you here! Check it out!

Download UPDATE (rename to update.zip)
Follow these steps below:
- Download the file
- Put it in the root of your SD Card (meaning in no folders, just on the SD Card)
- Boot into recovery mode (hold volume "up" key while your phone is turning on)
- Navigate with your volume "Up" and "Down" buttons until you find “Bootloader”
- Select “Bootloader” with the power button
- Find and select “Recovery” with the power button
- It will reboot into recovery mode
- You will see a ! mark and this point, hold the "up' volume key and the "power" button. You should now see a menu.
- Select "apply update.zip" or "install from .zip" (depends on recovery image)
- ENJOY!
