i know it'll not be rooted anymore but will it break if i check for updates and update it
if you want to upgrade then yes you will loose root. it should update no matter what unless you are using a different rom or the leaked version of froyo that went out on july 31st. not to sure about the rom thing
i am using a diffrent rom
fresh evo or something
so how do i update?
well if you can update try going to settings > System Updates > Software Update
but i would definitely read around the site a little to see if it will work. It has been a while since i have flashed a custom rom before.

Why not just flash a rooted froyo rom? Unless u really wana go back to stock don't update to ota through system updates via settings. I would just flash one of the many froyo rooted roms on this site if I were you.

Ya either that or modify the update's hboot.img to the engineering hboot..0.76...the flash the update...finally, flash Su-e-unsecured.zip
Most roms (i am pretty sure FRESH doe) block the update using the settings update. If you go to the stock rooted rom you should be able to update or if you "unroot" first you can then go to the ota update and get official 2.2.
I will say flipz just put out his fresh 3.0 froyo based rom it is working great for me with froyo while keeping root.

hi just wanted to know if i can update to the ota 2.2 from without running to problems?? don't care if im gonna lose root access.
i beleive fresh blocks the OTA so you may have to manually update. if it lets yuo download the ota through the settigns then you should not have any problems.
As a note fresh and many others already have 2.2 roms using the new ota out. if rooted you may want to grab one of those since currently thre is NO WAY to reroot your phone on 2.2

Correct,do not upgrade manually, just flash a 1.47 based rom and then the newest Fresh 3.0.1

NO NOT GO TO THE HTC WEBSITE, just flash any 2.2 based rom
either would be ways of manually updating it. I just ment that you cant get the OTA automatically. So you would want to download either the HTC update (killing root chances) or root and download a rooted stock and flash it giving you the best of both worlds.

ok cool, rooted stock it is.
thanks for all the help everyone.
it said it came out but i didnt get it i checked for updates but it says there are no updates available for your phone
Just flash a ROM from the Development forum. In fact, root first, and flash a rooted ROM.
which one
im using fresh now
and its rooted
is there a froyo one?
So, I got my DInc2 in early July.
The next week, Froyo root AND the OTA Gingerbread update were available, so I decided to root with AlphaRevX, install CWM, and play around with some ROMs, thinking I'd wait until Gingerbread OTA was rootable. I decided I liked GingerSense, and stuck with it.
Until now. I just found out that the OTA update is rootable. No problem, I think, I can just pull it down OTA, right? Nope. I got the android with exclamation point screen. Oh, duh, I tried to install it on top of GingerSense!
OK then, I'll put it back to my stock backup, then pull the OTA update.
Nope. I tried temp rooting into the stock backup, and then re-bloat-ware-ing it since I had frozen some of the crapware. NOPE!
I just want a stock Gingerbread install to rip into.
Is there a noticable difference between GingerSense and the OTA? Should I just stick with GingerSense?
TL;DR
I petition the wise overlords of XDA: I'm running an HTC Droid Incredible 2 on Verizon, rooted from stock Froyo. I have CWM installed, with a GingerSense ROM as my primary as well. I can't for the life of me figure out why the OTA update won't stick, no matter what stunts I pull.

Most likely because you're rooted. I think the ota doesn't work. Install RMKs debloated ROM and update your radio.

I was under the impression that there is a stock recovery check, and no OTA will ever install over a custom recovery.

Yes you are correct. The is exactly the issue that is preventing the OTA from running.
There is no difference if you install the gingersense update and also the firmware update, which updates the touch screen and radio, so just do that, if your missing the Verizon crap that's not in gingersense, download it from market and, bam, you have identical setup as ota, just with root and s off...

if iupdate with the OTA
will all, my custom ROM features be gone?
AFAIK you should never update with OTA if you are using a custom rom.
hmm.. iwas just wondering
If you are rooted, and accept an OTA, you will lose root. So no, don't do it.
The OTA will remove root, your custom ROM, etc. etc. etc. and put you at stock 2.3.3, and in order to root that you will have to downgrade back.
Simply put, if you're rooted, flash a pre-rooted OTA ROM, or keep your custom ROM or one of the many based on the new 2.3.4 OTA's. Get all the features and won't lose root.

If you want to update to a ROM based on the OTA, but keep root, you can flash one of the many Pre-rooted OTA builds in the dev section. Or you can always flash a different custom ROM thats based on 2.3.4 also.
I've recently downgraded my G2 to 2.2, but now I want to update it back to 2.3.4, but when I go to Settings> About phone and I check for system updates, it says that my system is up to date. How do I update it?
Are you rooted? Give a lil detail if you want help

If you didn't root yet, just manually update again.

hi, you won´t receive any updates that way (as long as you don´t flash the original firmware again). but there are plenty roms in the dev section which have 2.3.4 as base...
happy flashing
The phone is rooted and unlocked. I don't want custom roms, I want stock Tmobile 2.3.4. How do I manually update?
...if you apply the stock g2 rom you will loose root.
you can also find stock roms in the dev section (shipped rom collection)
so have a look at this custom rom (it is very close to stock & you won´t loose root):

I don't mind if it gets unrooted. All I want is a stock phone. Thanks for the answers
I used this ROM which was completely stock other than the fact that it was rooted and has busybox and su: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1314541
