I'm pretty new to all this rooting and ROMs and everything, but at the moment, my dinc is loaded with 2.15 radio/SR2.5 vanillia/S-OFF, but I want to get the OTA update for the official 2.2 android. I don't really understand how to do this, and I'm afraid I might mess something up, so any help please?!

Try it. Read and understand what you are going to do...before you do it. Then ask if you have any questions!
Well I'm able to go back to 2.1 sense, but I still have the 2.15 radio. Can I update from the official update with the new radio, or do I have to downgrade it back to 1.x
You have to go back to the stock radio. That's part of what the OTA is looking for. If you have an upgraded radio, it's going to skip your phone.

Im new to this forum and I had a few questions about downgrading from the stock froyo 2.2 back down to 2.1, I installed it manually I was wondering if there is any way to do this?

As of right now there is no possible way. But give it time.
i'm looking to downgrade as well if anyone hears of anything!
I was reading about someone downgrading their nexus one froyo back to eclair using andoid sdk and some rooted sign file and a recovery file. Lucky nexus one users lol.
Anyone know anything about this?
if you want to downgrade then wait, it took a long time to root the last OTA.
If you want to upgrade and keep root, NEVER accept anything from sprint, only install from XDA or a similar forum.
The fact that this is an entire OS upgrade can either be a good or bad thing in how long it's going to take to root.
Look at it this way: If you could downgrade to 2.1, there would be no warnings or questions about how to root after flashing the 2.2 update. The answer would be "downgrade to 2.1 and root it like before."
But once 2.2 is rooted, you will most likely be able to flash a 2.1 stock or custom ROM if you wish. Just make sure you flash one that's pre-rooted.
Thanks for all the info guys, I wanted to downgrade to run cyanogen mod and overclock etc.
I want to revert back to 100% stock, including radio so I can receive the 2.2 ota update from Verizon, or push it as a update.zip in normal recovery not clockwork. I searched the forums on here and could not find a complete guide, can anyone help me please?
pretty simple. if you want to get the ota be on stock recovery.
So even though i have a 2.05 baseband? on a 2.1 update incredible? How can I get it without manually pushing it to my phone in recovery, I haven't been prompted to upgrade yet.
I was prompted with OTA notification when I reverted back to a 2.1 rom, regardless of the radio I was on.
I went back to stock 2.1 backup, which was running 2.15 radio, etc.
I ran the RUU from 2.2 and it fixed me up.
Hello everyone,
I installed the 2.2 incredible ROM leaked in July. Now the official 2.2 is out and I assume that it would be wise to update to it. I am sure this is quite obvious for some but I am not sure what the exact process for my update should be. I updated the radio to the 2.x one in order to update to the leaked 2.2 ROM. I had thought that attempting to install this twice bricked a phone so I am unsure as to whether I can safely just load the OTA 2.2 ROM without bricking my phone.
Thanks
flashing the same* radio twice will brick your phone- yep. check Berzerker7's -The ultimate get back to stock- thread for instructions.
Good luck.
If you have a 2.xx radio you should be able to flash any 2.2 Rom using clockwork
I tried searching on this and closes match I could find was this:

However, that refers to a "Leaked" Froyo firmware. What I'm trying to do is to upgrade my already rooted 2.1 Evo to Froyo (2.2) and then root that of course
If I try to do a OTA upgrade automatically through the phone, I get an error. Anyone advise what the best method of doing the upgrade would be?
Maybe try this -

I had stock 2.2 with the latest OTA and rooted it. It was very very simple. Here's the link-

Hah. Very interesting question. Ok, so rooting lets you change the system as well as the other partitions. Froyo and eclair are both system changes, so try flashing a froyo rom. Didn't you research before rooting?
Yep, you're right. I'd blame it partly on being 1 AM and partly for not thinking it through. Thanks.
Hey guys, so I been trying to root my phone for like the last 3-4 days ever since I got it. Sadly, I cannot root it and have given up hope, and just wish to get my 2.2 firmware back, I've got the stock rom now (sprint lovers?) and everything seems good, except for the fact that my firmware stayed at 2.1-update1, and I can't find a way to get it back to 2.2
Can anyone help me with this?
(Also does anyone live in Fresno, CA? Willing to pay to get my thing rooted )
There are so many things wrong with this question.
If you never rooted, how did you flash a rom?
I have no idea why it'd say you're still on 2.1 if you installed a 2.2 rom to begin with.
How the hell did you downgrade to 2.1 from 2.2?
I don't think they flashed at all there on the stock sprint old enclair ota, but how did they get on 2.1? I suggest you do a ota update. Go to settings - scroll to the bottom and choose system update then choose software update.
Maybe that will get you on froyo 2.2.
Best of luck.

I have tried going to system update and choosing firmware update but it claims there is no update available. I dont know how I downgraded, I was attempting to use autoroot v2.3 and it installed a different rom that says "Quietly Brilliant" at the start-up screen, but now I have it back to stock. Where the original sprint load up screen came up.
Everything seems good except for the fact that it says I'm running firmware 2.1-update1 and can't use my flashlight, on my phone to use the camera light as a LED light :S
First off, if you are rooted, NEVER EVER try to update your phone. You could permanently lose root. Every single guide to rooting tells you this.
Second, just download and run a stock ruu for the latest version of the stock rom.
