Ok, I rooted my dinc when with Sky Raider 1.9b. Never was fond of trying to flash the radio etc, so I used this for awhile. Then I heard the OTA was coming from Verizon, so I went back to the stock Rom and waited for the OTA. It came, I tried to download it and it didnt work, so I downloaded it from XDA and everything worked fine. I am now on 2.2 Radio 2.15.00.07.28, but I want to be rooted again.
I go to Unrevoked and see this "At this time, unrevoked3 does NOT work on stock Froyo (Android 2.2) phones."
Is my phone now considered stock and I can not root my phone, until they figure it out? Or what can I download to get me rooted and back to using custom roms?

Do you have your phone set to S-OFF? If so, there is a way to reroot it. Go to this link: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=771178

The last two times I have tried to install the latest update (2.2 I believe) to my EVO, it has downloaded just fine but then seems to crash when it tries to do the actual install.
What I get is a screen showing the little green android next to an oblique triangle with an exclamation point in it. Everything stops at that point.
I have previously rooted the phone (no nand though) so I could install the android wireless tether, etc. Other than that though, I have not done too much with the phone. It's been running fine, so I have no idea what may be causing the new OTA update to crash.
(I've heard there have been some problems with the update and I really do want to be able to re-root the phone after the fact, if that could be a problem..so as far as that goes I'm in no hurry.)
Still, does anyone have any idea what might cause the latest update to crash? Should I perhaps manually copy it to my SD card and try running it from there?
Thanks,
JTT
You probably have a custom recovery so you can't OTA
OP,
You trying to maintain root? Then don't flash the OTA. If you are tryign to get back to stock, then run the 2.2 RUU file. That will wipe your phone and you will get stock - and NO root.
the question is how did you root the phone?....
in the end to keep root its, apply the 1.47 ota update, install unrevoked3, unrevoked forever, install stock recovery, update to 2.2 froyo, install custom recovery, install superuser app, then BAM you are rooted on 2.2

Don't take the 2.2 OTA if you want to maintain root.

so is there anyway to root 2.2 ota update i wanna root my phone!!!
Ever since I rooted using Unrevoked's method & flashing HTC OTA Froyo 2.2 Deodex RevE.2 with KiNgxKernel #6-BFS I can no longer receive MMS. It shows up but when I hit download it does nothing. Have data wiped, updated profile & prl & reflashed twice but with same results. Wondering if it is the root method messing things up. I ran this same ROM on my other Evo rooted with Toast's method and didn't have a problem. Any suggestions? Or can I use the first part of Unrevoked's method to downgrade to 2.1 & then use Toast's method to root?

You can, or since you have root access you can try any other ROM.

Thanks. I've went through my ROM hopping days. I actually like stock Froyo after some of the Sprint bloatware is removed. For me it's the kernel that makes the most difference. That's why I went with this one but I will root again when I get off work & try some different kernel variations to see if I can track down the MMS culprit.

I havean evolution that was rooted with 2.1. I am wondering if I can just put a 2.2 rom on it or should I unroot, update to 2.2 then reroot?

Isn't an Evolution a car?
Why would you possibly want to un-root?

Just boot into recovery, do a nandroid backup, then a full wipe and flash the new ROM.
Dang auto-correct...no evolution, just an evo...thanks...that's what I thought

Also, i am wondering if i can put the newest official rom on it while its still rooted so it will be stock 2.2 apart from being rooted, and if not, what is the closest to stock 2.2 rom that runs stable and isnt missing anything. Im doing this for a friend and he wants stock 2.2 with root access

Well the general rule for root users (and soon to be root users) is never take the unrooted OTA update from Sprint until an official root method for it has been confirmed. That said, I've read in another thread that Unrevoked 3.21 (or whatever the newest version is) apparently worked perfectly for at least one person.
I rooted with unrevoked and installed Cyanogenmod 6.0.2. I am having issues with my camera not being found and calls saying they are dropped, but then the person is still on the line. What's the easiest way to return to stock Sense 2.2? I did not do a nandroid backup. Thanks in advance.

Might be an easier way, but section 6 of [URL="http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=760306]this guide[/URL] will return it to stock 2.1 and you're just an OTA away from 2.2.
I never changed the radio image when I rooted and installed cm over stock 2.2. Can I just flash the stock OTA that I downloaded?

Probably. My phone came with stock 2.1, so that's where I focused my research putting me back at. I never looked into the 2.2 OTA image, since I could download it OTA easily and that way I know it hasn't been tampered with.
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...
