You need to be bone stock to get upgrade, but you can and should have s-off from unrevoked forever. Use my sig link if you need more help.
Thanks....i've got s-off so i downgraded back to the original 2.1 and everything that comes with it. Now the waiting game begins...
Good Luck with the waiting game, I'm waiting myself
I was told you just need to be on 2.1 with stock recovery and radio. Removing bloat is fine. You want to apply s-off so can get root again the update.

So my wifes phone is rooted with s off. When she receives her update will she be able to update and then I can just reinstall Su and CWM correct?
Thanks

CWM will stop your phone from updating from the OTA.
It downloads fine, but when it tries to reboot to apply the update it looks for the stock recovery. You'll need to go back to stock recovery before you update.
Going back to stock requires that you use the RUU found here which will bring you back to stock recovery correct, but you will still retain S-OFF.
Running the RUU WILL keep S-OFF. But on dougpiston's site there is also a stock recovery you can flash in hboot if you don't want to run the RUU. I haven't used it though. So I can't really say anything about it.
That should work, S-Off/S-On settings are only changed by Unrevoked apps.
The RUU should restore your bootloader, OS, and recovery back to factory.
If that doesn't work, I use the zip files off of dougpiston.com to recover my phone.
Final question. If I apply the RUU will it wipe her phone or will she retain all her apps and such.

The RUU will wipe EVERYTHING! It takes it back to factory settings. Out of the box. Minus S-OFF anyway.
I have a ROM Manager restore point with stock froyo, but rooted. If I restore to this, will I be able to get the OTA gingerbread update?
Why do you all want to receive the ota? Just wait until a devs gets it and makes a rooted flashable zip. Updating the ota will s-off and make you unrootable. Then your gonna be stuck with the crapware Verizon tries to force down our throats. The will be nothing special with the ota except the 50 mb of wasted space for crapware. Just hold on to your shorts and let the devs do their work!

that won't do anything to recovery, you must flash the RUU, or something similar to get back to stock and for it to work.

I'm sure there will be a way to get the tv out being rooted.

Gingerbread update on stock rooted Incredible
Let me know guys when you have it figured out, I am willing to wait so I don't mess up this awesome phone ...
Thanks !!
The stock roms in the dev section are rooted... they have TV out
I am trying to update to the unrooted OTA. When I flash it I get a status 7 error. I am currently on a rooted stock GB ROM. Everything works except my chase app. I run a business and I need to be able to deposit checks. How do I get the update to go through?

What steps have you taken to unroot? How are you trying to flash the OTA??
Also, keep in mind that you can't root again once you unroot, unless you keep your bootloader S off.

Also take into consideration, the app may not be compatible yet with 2.3 [its possible]
I am trying to flash the unrooted ota through recovery. My friend has an unrooted evo and it is updated and the Chase Bank App works.

Well If you unroot, be sure to leave it s-off [don't flash the s-on zip] or you won't be able to root for some time.
s is off. However, I cannot figure out how to unroot. Has the RUU come out yet for this update?
I've been away all day, but to my knowledge, no. Best you can do is check the dev section, perhaps xhausx's thread.
If you are rooted, you don't need to unroot.Like Teh Roxx says, flash the stock.rooted ROM in Xhausx's thread

Exactly.
I'm confused about how he's trying to flash an unrooted version. How would you flash an unrooted rom in recovery? I would just flash a rooted stock rom. Or better yet, try mikG or synergy betas if you want Sense. They're better than the ota update IMO.

I have tried xhaus stock deodexed rooted rom. I also tried Dr Macin's. I cannot log in to the chase app. Dr. Macin has the unrooted OTA posted as well. I tried to flash it and it errored out. Currently I have gone back to rooted 2.2 and the chase app works like it should. How can I get the chase app to work with rooted GB? Thanks!
Good question, actually, because the ONLY problem I have on my setup. MikG 1.02, is the Loot app, which I use to track my finances...
i recently updated to the new gingerbread 2.3 OTA update. I did do some research before updateing but i obviously didnt do enough because i missed the part that 2.3 is unrootable. Today i was doing some searches and saw a few posts that said if you had previously flashed unrevoked forever to your evo. you could reflash back to a previous version. m question is if that is possible and how?
If you still have s-off it is possible
Sent from my PG86100 using XDA Premium App
if you had previously rooted with unrevoked forever, you will still have S-OFF. to check it, power down then hold volume down and the power button...it'll take you to the HBOOT screen. check the top of the screen....it'll tell you if you are S-OFF or S-ON...if S-OFF, reflash a custom recovery (either Amon_RA or ClockworkMOD; i recommend Amon_RA: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=705026) and then you can reboot into recovery and start flashing away again

Ok it ways s-on. Now that I think about it I remember having to turn it back to s-on in order to flash the OTA update. I was under the impression that no matter what you did unrevoked forever would keep your phone flashable even with the s-on. I think I missed something. This is my first Android phone I've had Windows mobile for so long I'm still adjusting to how all the technical things work. Thanks for all your help and patience. So is it possible to somehow revert back or flash something to turn s-off? Or to make it reversible to a version that's rootable?

Hey guys,
I used the AlpharevX Windows beta to S-OFF my Inc 2, then rooted using CWM (still on stock rom). I can see the OTA, and can download it, but it won't install.
The progress bar gets about 1/3 the way full then comes up with the triangle with the !.
I've tried it two or three times, did factory reset, have no idea what to do. Do I have to S-ON for it to install? If so, how exactly do I do that?

First, you cannot install an OTA when you have a custom recovery such as CWM installed. You at least need to install the original recovery image for your particular ROM before you try again.
Since the OTA in now available and official, why don't you just wait a few hours and someone will have a fully rooted version of the ROM that you can flash using CWM and not worry about losing S-OFF?
Let me give you a fair warning though, I'm not positive how Alpha set up their root, as I used XTC. BUT I know if you install the OTA with replacing CWM with regular recovery, you MAY be turned back to S-ON WITHOUT an option to get root back, UNLESS using the XTC clip. Enjoy.
Okay, I was afraid of that. I'm used to not even being able to see OTA's at all with CWM (came from Droid X), so it kind of threw me off.
Do you have any idea if the OTA is really any different from the leaked Inc S GB rom that's floating around? If, for some reason, it takes forever to get the ota rooted and they're not that different I may just install the leaked one I have.
Not trying to be a pain, just curious.
Thanks,

Check the Dev section. It looks like there is already a rooted, debloated version available.
I just created a PG32IMG.zip containing. Android-info text file and CWM recovery img renamed to recovery.img and placed it on root of sdcard
Booted into hboot and flashed it ...
Then I replaced the recovery with the stock recovery from the froyo ruu and flashed the stock recovery back....
Then flashed right back to CWM..
Never used any commands via windows or linux
I am going to install the ota and try to go back to cwm recovery and see what I can do from there.
I'll keep you guys informed

This way we will know if the s-off is similar to.unrevoked for the incredible 1. I could do this all day long with theirs.
One way to find out right.

You will recieve the OTA update and get Gingerbread. YOU'VE BEEN WARNED BY MANY that you will NOT be able to -reroot. if you can that's because of the hboot alpha gave you. but if it changes ur hboot you need XTC clip to re-root. RMK already posted a ROOTED ROM of the current OTA. SAME THING, why chance root for OTA. THEY ARE THE EXACT SAME FILES. BUT WITH ROOT! just use his ROM. my 2 cents. do as you please

Hey, Instead of Don't do this, do that, do this, don't update that, If you want the release and don't want to lose root, install from this link. This guy(rmk40) spent some time to get this out to us. Awesome work! You won't lose root, everything works.

With the announcement made today that HTC is pushing the OTA Security update:
http://www.androidpolice.com/2011/1...ral-devices-that-fixes-massive-security-flaw/
Will it unroot devices or is there a way to apply this without issues? Or do we wait for it to be included in one of our favorite ROMs by the devs?
If u unrevoked forever like I did then no. But anyway its never a good idea to ota if u like ur rooted device.

Thanks for the quick reply. Thought about as much. However, where do you find the update? The article says HTC is pushing it. However, it's not on their download links page.
It does not turn you to s-off, although you do need to reflash your recovery, ie amon ra or clockwork and you news to reflash superuser.
Sent from my PC36100 using xda premium
It's always best to just flash the rooted version - it'll be up in soon after. If you're already on stock, you should be able to just wipe cache and dalvik and flash the odexed version over your current stock setup.
I'd make a nandroid backup of course, just in case.
You should be able to OTA and then flash recovery & Superuser, but you have much more control and much less risk flashing it yourself.
