Ok, I'm mixed up and maybe I still have too much noob left in me. I've got a rooted phone, software version 1.32.651.6. I know there was an update but I didn't do it b/c of fear of losing my root. So, what I did do was update some things "manually." I now have Baseband 2.05.00.06.10, and PRL Version 60667. I also flashed new Wimax as found within these forums. My question now is: I'm hearing about PRI version. How do you update this? And, is it necessary or useful? And finally, was there anything other than the above changes that I'm missing as a result of not doing the OTA?
Any info on any of these questions would help.
Thanks!
After downgrading my PRI to 1.34_003 (using the NAND unlock), I have not been able to receive text messages from AT&T. I have tried everything I possibly could to restore the PRI, but am helpless because it's an issue that resides in the roms themselves, according to toast (forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=6845492&postcount=75). I am really hoping that we can find a way to update back to the stock 1.40_003 or better yet, an updated version. That's just my 2 cents!

Hmm thats strange. I have no problems sending or receiving from AT&T. All my friends but 2 are on it (one T-Mo & one Sprint) and I have no problem whatsoever messaging them.
I am still not seeing the OTA update from my stock evo. Just wondering if they are still rolling it out or if everyone but me has access now ;-)

What ROM are you running?
If you're running a 2.2 rom already it might think you are current already
Also, just in case you've missed the other billion times it's been said:
DO NOT UPDATE IF YOU LIKE HAVING ROOT ACCESS TO YOUR PHONE

Then just keep checking, it'll show up eventually.
Try updating your profile, and rebooting wouldn't hurt anything.
Thanks for the ideas. So I guess no one knows if its a gradual roll out or if it's available for everyone yet...
I thought it wasn't coming out till thurs? What did I miss..anyway I won't be updating right now. Waiting for all you impatient people to report the bugs and for things to be updated.
Running rooted 1.47. Happy with it...but want that new PRL and wimax because reception here stinks and can't hold 4g if you step in any direction from where you connected.
Engadget states that Verizon is going to push the official 2.2 Froyo update tomorrow for all HTC incredible users.
IF this is true I have a few questions. I'm currently rooted and running Sky Raider 3.0 RC2. I did a nand backup of my old original 2.1 Stock sense rom. If i revert back to that, can I just check for updates and apply the new stock 2.2 Froyo rom that is pushed from verizon?
Thanks,

It is true. Unlike previous rumors, VZW employees were told today (this afternoon) and it shows on their bulletin screens now.
That and sometime between 1pm and 2:30pm they updated the support page.
So who's gonna jump in and who's gonna wait?
Please answer my question on how to go about updating. I'll jump in but want to knwo what process i have to take. Is there a chance that I wont be able to re-root if i go with the OTA update?
why go through the trouble of unrooting and going back to stock just to receive an update "officially" thats already been rooted and simplified here in 2 threads?

Honestly.. It's pre-rooted, and is almost positively the exact same as the official OTA.. why bother?

Honestly there is so much information out there. Do what I did when I first got my Incredible. Do a search, and read, read, read. Mind you when you're done your head is going to be spinning. But that is the best way to get all the information you need.
To answer your question.
it was said along time ago that accepting the 2.2 OTA may cause you to not be able to re-root.
now, unrevoked forever takes S-OFF and with this you can accept the 2.2 OTA and still keep root, it was permanent, but with the new release of S-ON there is absolutely no reason not to use S-OFF, then un-root, if you want the "official" 2.2.
I thought that SkyRaider 2.5.2 and 3.0 were built off of the previous leak of FroYo 2.2...am I wrong? I love SkyRaider Vanilla, so I don't get giving that up for an "official" OTA? Maybe it is for some, but I don't see what else you'd really get that you don't have yet that was built into the 2.2 ROM's...
Mods will probably move this to Q and A,
But, you have to provide more info as what radio you are on, hboot.., etc. There are several threads started providing info as to how to prepare yourself...
I mean, the leak OTA has been ripped apart and placed all of this forum. The only thing you can get from verizon will be the satisfaction of a cool Blockbuster app and more vzw crapware, but hey if its what you want

Skyraider pre2.0 was based off an evo port, yes. 2.0 and onward is based off the leak, hence the necessity of the radio upgrade.
Gotcha. That's what I thought, as when I installed SkyRaider 2.2, I remember getting an email saying "thanks for registering your Nexus One" or something like that... Thank you for confirming, much appreciated!
Your recovery image must be stock as well. There are several threads that provide the needed file to return the DInc back to 100% stock/pre-root (just make sure S-OFF is applied first).
Mandatory OTA?
I read the pdf files from Verizon's website on the expected 2.2 OTA, and it says it is MANDATORY. That the only options it gives you are install and DELAY install. That it will keep bugging you every 30 minutes til you do !
I have used Unrevoked3, and Unrevoked Forever and love the phone as it is now (particularly the wifi tether). I want to avoid the OTA but do I HAVE to accept it? If I do, I hope I can reload the version I got with Unrevoked3.
(I assume that Verizon will, in their new version make you PAY to wifi tether)
Any info on this?
Thanks

I'll be pissed if thats the case. gotta do everything all over again. But if we're already @ 2.2 shouldn't it recognize that and not force the OTA to even appear on our phones?
I'm still pretty new to this so sorry if I sound like a complete outsider lol
For those of us who've rooted, forever'd, upgraded radio, and installed some leaked version of Froyo already -- if/when we get prompted to update the phone should we accept or deny it?
With the OTA update will be a radio update as well. And if they attempt to install over the same version won't that be the same as manually attempting to update it twice which equals brick?
Or will the update detect an upgraded radio already and skip that step?

IIRC, you will only be prompted if you have sock recovery installed. As for the OTA, it includes updates to the radio and HBOOT. The update doesn't check to see if you already have an upgraded radio because, in theory, no consumer should have it yet.

If this is the case, there will be a whole lot of bricks out there, right? I thought I read that if you flash a radio twice you're bricked. Maybe not with S_Off.

Not a 100% sure but I think its only if you flash a radio.diff twice you get brick.
Never the less just don't have the updated radio with old builds and stock recovery and all should be fine.

That applied because the prior unrEVOked hack was simply a diff ... it patched. So if you apply the patch to the patch, THEN you brick. Flashing a wholesale radio (while higher on the danger scale) is not the same.
Hello, i'm new to this forum and must say that there is an incredible amount of information here. I rooted my Incredible a few weeks ago because I wanted to use wifi tethering. When the 2.2 OTA update started going out, I returned my phone to factory settings because I heard clockwork mod was messing with the update. I still have not recieved the 2.2 OTA, and i'm wondering if this is due to having build number 1.22.605.0 until today. I read in a thread that to do the manual method you need to update to 1.22.605.2.
Is there any difference between manually updating to 2.2 and recieving the OTA?
Now that i've updated my build to 1.22.605.2 should I just wait until I get the OTA?
Can anyone confirm Condition 7 in this thread working?: forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=771178
If I only want wifi tethering, should I really root my phone?
The only thing I can answer is your last question. In order to use wifi tether(not Verizons version) you must be rooted.

If you only want wifi tethering - you do have another choice. Change the duns. So far I have not heard of anybody that has been caught doing that but it could be costly if the network provider figured it out,
Hi All
I just received a text message from Sprint saying an Update PRL was available for my EVo. I am rooted and running Myn's Sense ROM. Wondering if it is safe to update the PRL? Am i gaining anything by doing it? My phone is working great, have no issues, so perhaps i should skip it?

Yes, you can update the PRL safely. Don't worry about it.
