The lock button on my rooted incredible keeps getting stuck. Do you think a Verizon rep would notice that I'm rooted if I'm running sky raider 2.5.2 sense? Or do you think I should just unroot?

unroot just to be safe....but they probably wont kenw

The first thing techs are told to do is to check the water indicator. If that hasn't been tripped, then you probably will be fine, but if they do check your software version, they will see you have a non-official rom on there. If you want to be sure they will honor the warranty, you probably should return it to stock.
Thanks a lot for the advice!

If you're running Skyraider 2.5.2, you're probably S-OFF, in which case you can run a simple stock RUU and go back to complete 2.1 stock and be fine. As long as they don't check S-OFF (which they 99% probably don't know how to do), you'll be fine.

I updated my EVO from the Sprint update not paying attention and now I'm not rooted anymore. Trying to figure out what happened and how / if I can get rooted again. Think I updated to a 3.29.651.5 build version and it still says I'm on Droid 2.2 any help is appreciated.

Does your phone still work? If so, you should be able to just run Unrevoked 3.21. That would be the easiest option.
Yeah the phone works fine. I just kinda freaked when I realized what I did. Pissed right now cuz I can't wireless tether!

I caught wind that VZW is going to put out 2.3 OTA update soon, so here's my question.
If I'm rooted, but still on the stock Rom, which I have to put it back to, everything stock except for "root" and radio version, will the OTA update unroot my phone, or in any way mess anything up?
I will unroot it myself and put EVERYTHING back completely stock if I have to, but I'm not ready to give up the ability to WiFi tether my phone with my xbox to run xbox live.

Most likely the update will break root. Most do. But generally given a few days to a couple of weeks there is a new root method

Odds are someone will take the new OTA, add root, busybox, rom manager and other essentials. Make it flashable via Rom Manager the night it's released.
God forbid. A "I heard" thread. Where am I, androidforums?

It wasn't long at all after the 23NOV update started being pushed OTA that us rooted dummies had a very simple to follow set of instructions:

Will be the same when/if 2.3 hits.
I don't think there are any legit sense roms built 2.3 yet. So we are forced to wait
Does anybody else think that the 2.3 ota is gonna come with Sense 2.0?
Can't wait for 2.3! However, most surely we will have to reset all settings before can update.

I would enjoy sense 2.0 . Heres hoping!
Sent from my ADR6300 using XDA App
i really hope so. that would be incredible.
I for one like the sense clock, but I don't like the launcher, hope they add more buttons to push, like putting all the most used stuff together, like contacts.phone.messaging.browser....all on the same line. Maybe not in that order though.

If you guys wanna try a great Sense 2.0 ROM I would suggest Warm Z TwoPointTwo. Been using the nightly 3/31 and its a fantastic ROM with great stability. http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=901822
I think I'm done with custom roms, not a single one I've tried has been stable so far, even though they say they're stable. I think it might actually be something with my phone that's causing instability with roms.

Sometimes u have to try different rom/kernel combos to figure out whats best for u. I have great luck with nils business z and re eng z, both using ziggys latest bfs w/o havs kernel. Im even overclocked and there both more stable than stock with fantastic battery. I wouldnt give up, your combo is out there.
Sent from my ADR6300 using XDA App
Wouldn't there be some word from HTC if so? They did confirm the GB update in Q2 but didn't say anything about sense 2.0 in the emails I saw..
What does "bfs" and "havs" mean?

Hopefully this what will be the rumored OTA update.
Right now, you have to be one of the lucky few to be set S-OFF and rooted by AlphaRevX and running ClockworkMod recovery in order to flash the pre-rooted ROM. For those who are not that lucky (yet), enjoy the pictures and videos while we all wait for AlphaRevX to release the full unlock for the Incredible 2. Note: Please note that we recommend against flashing the full signed RUU (i.e. the original un-rooted leak), as it will prevent the root and unlock method by AlphaRevX.
***someone was going to ask so I figured I'd just post it n save everyone the dumb questions***
Side note... "Enjoy the video n pictures and keep drooling cause we still havent rolled out our new beta"
.... Jerks...
I decided against posting it at XDA for the time being, as I don't want to support the thread.
While on topic. How are these upgrades usually done, do they work fine being upgraded with all your stuff alongside. Is there benefit in doing a factory reset of your phone and doing a clean install, sort of like regular computers benefit from.
Or are android os updates usually good enough to simply upgrade without doing anything else?

If its an ota upgrade, you simply install it. If you are changing roms (after a root) or upgrading a non stock rom it is usually recommended that you wipe and clear your cache for optimal results.
Hmm... Have a 2nd Inc 2 that has to go back to assurion for speaker issues, thinking of loading the ruu on phone just to have a peek.. wonder if they'd notice?

There is a rumoured new update coming out. Of you are rooted or want root please hold off as you might lose your root ability. Just a warning of friendly advice.

Edit: Dang its late. Sorry I can't spell. Glad that's not what the army paid me for. Lol
Yeah. I just got the phone today for my wife and it updated while it was charging before I could root it...which sucks since rooting it played a HUGE role in the decision to get this phone.
I'm guessing I could really break something if I just tried the unrevoked/alpharev/revolutionary approach regardless of the fact that I now have hboot 0.98 huh?

****, I was afraid of that. Now I wonder if I should try to return it and try again...damnit.
Is the update going to try and force itself or will it does it have to be a manual update?
Also, if you are running a custom rom will this still effect people, or just people running stock root?
Unless things are different from my Original Droid then custom roms don't need to worry about it since most of them have OTA updates turned off.

If it is a stock based Rom without OTA removed...then yes it prob will...and you will lose root...you can remove the update service yourself with a root explorer app

You will want to switch to a custom for sure. Was about to go to sleep for the night. I am still running my own stock debloat. I caught the ota pop up with the countdown clock. Luckily I was able to pull battery and flash bliss real fast.

For some reason the curious side of me wants to down load. Can't be that big oh a change. Right???
How long for the exploit on 2.3.4 since we already have 2.3.2 done.
Sent from my ADR6350 using xda premium
My crystal ball says it will take 3 months and 9 days to find the next exploit, and 4 months 15 days for the next patch that kills it.
It seems that one of the biggest benefits of custom roms are freedom of forced updates. I guess this is the answer to all the people concerned about getting s-on for the event of a return.

Wow, this thing pushes through without user consent? Holy crap am I glad I'm running CM7.
Just a thought - would users who have received the update against their will have the option of flashing the previously released gingerbread RUU? I'm guessing that even if they could, they'd still be stuck with the updated hboot and therefore unable to get s-off. I'm not really sure how all that works though. Anybody smarter than me have any thoughts?

The new OTA is pushed to your phone but it offers the option to accept, postpone or reject.
I am rooted (stock rom) and made the error of accepting. After the update my phone would not boot completely (erred with white triangle, yellow exclamation point, blue android). You can follow Conduitz's fix found in this thread: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1233267
NOOB Question
If I want the update and could wait for Root (have root now), how does one go about getting S-ON again? I used the alpharev method.
thanks in advance.
So i have an EVO 4g lte and i want to sell my evo 4g....anyway i prefer to use amazons trade in system because its quicker and simpler IMO. So anyway i was wondering if anyone has done this with a phone...im asking because i want to know if they check for root cuz i am rooted but i installed the stock RUU?
You could just unroot and bring everything back to stock. Nothing to worry about then.
