META-INF with what is presumably whatever
patch folder with a bunch of crap in /system (app, bin, customize, etc, fonts, framework, and lib)
new/replacement files in system (almost all of it appears to be Smith device management)
new iproute tables (rt_tables)
... and a firmware.zip which contains the following images:
boot
hboot (0.99.0000)
radio
rcdata_2.97
recovery
tp_atmel224_20aa
tp_atmelc12_20aa
tp_SPY_SYN3KT0103
wimax-20110318-XC-R4[etc]
Edit: looks like if you take this update, it will be unlockable through htcdev.com
Really? I don't see the Shift on that list. Even the original EVO isn't listed. Please advise where you see the Shift on htcdev.com since I'd take that route in a heartbeat?
Obviously, taking this update makes you lose root, but I can confirm personally that 1) The bootloader unlock procedure at htcdev is now supported on our phones - fastboot get_oem_identifier (or whatever that command is) pulls a token now and the process completes successfully; and 2) 2.77.651.3 is rootable using the existing 2.3 methods and I just flashed back to 2.76.651.6 without any trouble whatsoever by re-flashing misc.img.
By rooting, misc-ing, and downgrading, HBOOT is returned to 0.98.0001.

Yup, haven't noticed any changes.Mine downloaded an is installing now... doubt it fixes anything important as they don't give a shit about Shift users.

Ok, since it's been over a month. I've noticed my battery life, has deffently been noticeably improved.Look at your Android version, you may see a slight change there (updated to 2.3.4 from 2.3.3)
Also included was a radio update and new touchscreen firmware. These are also supposed to help battery life.
