I have not rooted my phone. Upgraded my phone to baseband 2.05.00.06.11 and have not received froyo update. I think I need to downgrade my baseband to be able to receive official update. I realize there are quite a few threads on how to downgrade, but I cannot figure which one I need to follow. Can someone please assist and idiot. Thanks in advance.
When you say you have the 2.05.00.06.11 radio and are not rooted, is it safe to assume you applied the July leak which included the 2.05 radio?
baseband - no froyo
That is correct. I didn't want to root my phone, but had read that this helped with some of the issues I was having with the phone. I didn't realize that this would keep me from receiving the froyo ota from verizon. Now I am trying to find a way to get my phone back to stock, or be able to get the verizon froyo update.
Theirs a YouTube video on it. I'm running the 2.05 radio too and that video helps me out. Just search YouTube for a user named
mejdam
His videos will show you the step by step instructions will show u how to downgrade back to the stock RUU.

I never really kept track of the version numbers so I thought they were normal updates... But they started to happen suspiciously often so I decided to keep track of it this time.. Apparently my (rooted) EVO will not properly isntall 1.32.651.6 . It will just try to apply it, reboot, and then go back to 1.32.651.1 . Anyone else experiencing this?

Lol, don't be scared. It is a typical disclaimer.
Even if you do brick your phone, take it to Sprint and say the OTA bricked it.!!

Is that the full OTA 1.32.651.6 update or just the radio?

I believe Toast's root method (and therefore pretty much all of the roots/ROMS out there) already has the initial SD Card/Security OTA update applied

The link above is just the Radio image which was part of the OTA update.
Neither of Toast's PC36IMG.zip files have the OTA applied. They are pre release engineering and user debugging versions of the stock ROM which were used to unlock NAND and Root the device.
Pretty much all of the baked ROMs available for DL will already have the .6 OTA integrated. You can check and see by looking in Settings / About Phone / Software Information and look for Firmware Version 2.1-update 1 and Build Number 1.32.651.6 .....
If you want the stock ROM, rooted, Flipz released it a day or two after the OTA came out. You can find it here as well.
i believe my phone couldn't update from 2.1 to 2.2 because i used the unrevoked method of rooting. in order for me to get 2.2 i updated my phone with the pc36img.zip file and then rooted again with unrevoked.
Now when i'm trying update from 2.2 with the new 3.29.651.5 update, the phone will have the triangle with a exclamation point.
Any ideas? thanks
ok im confused, tried to search everywhere for this but have not found a straight answer...
i had my phone rooted but then decided to downgrade back to stock using PB31IMG.zip which restores the phone to prior May OTA.
Current Software Info:
FW: 2.1-update1
BB: 1.00.03.04.06
Build: 1.22.605.0 CL161493 release-keys
SW #: 1.22.605.0
my question is...
do i need to install the may OTA before i can receive the 'official' 2.2 OTA or am i already set to receiving it. PS: im not planning on doing the manual update, just want to know if im ok.
thanks.
A follow up question to Loading; There are comments around about the revision number for HBOOT, required for the OTA. HNOOT is not listed under the software display screen in Settings. Instead you need to power down and boot into HBOOT. You do this pressing Volume Down and Power, at the same time. In my case, I did receive the May 2.1 OTA. However, HBOOT reports I have version .77. Several scattered posts and threads say you need version .79. There is another thread running currently about how to update HBOOT. But the answer was to bump up to version .92. Not sure what version the 2.2 OTA requires. It might be helpful to know and/or confirm what exactly is required, at a minimum. Here is a post where a user upgraded to .79, but now says "revoked3 won't root my phone anymore."
I may need to change my user name to "craZy1" after reading through all these rooting posts.
Sorry for not showing my links, but I had to remove links to other posts, since my message count is low. Do not want to lose any posting privileges

no, i had to manually install the may ota then a couple hours later i finally received the 2.2 notice (might be coincidence but what the heck it worked)
link to may ota if you need it: https://android.clients.google.com/...22.605.2_1.22.605.0_release_sign.a33bc3bf.zip

This is probobly a silly question... but how do I get the May OTA applied without clockwork? I have S-OFF, and then downgraded back to stock but I never got an OTA pop up to update the May OTA...
This is where I am:
Im having a new problem now. I got as far as the downgrade last night, unrevoked forever, hboot 0.77, Firmware, 2.1update1, baseband 1.00.03.04.06, kernel, 2.6.29-cc1c2268, build number 1.22.605.0 CL161493 release-keys, software number 1.22.605.0, Browser WebKit3.1, PRI 1.28_008, PRL 40067, ERI Version 5
In my research last night doing this I would take the official OTA thru the phone via OTA. This did not happen. Also, from further reading today, some are saying Hboot 0.77 wont take the OTA via OTA... so...
At this point, I am beginning to think I could be in way over my head. Can someone tell me how to get my phone back to stock and at the most current update?
Thanks in advance.
Just a note. I returned both my wife's and my (work) phone to stock about a week ago. I have not yet recieved the update and she has. It's still being rolled out and (as far as I can tell from communication with VZW) could take up to a month to actually hit your phone.
I didn't even bother with my personal phone. CM6 goodness there.
Search the threads for an RUU that puts your software to 1.22.605.2 will probably have .79 hboot included. Try that. Or you can also search for a copy of the update.zip. But I believe you still need 1.22.605.2 to get that to work.

Hi Guys,
So I rooted my stock Incredible a few months back using Unrevoked and nandroid backup, and I know 2.2 just finally came out officially.
I've been keeping up with the forums but having a great deal of time figuring out how to upgrade to 2.2 with root. I actually received the notification from my phone that the update was out -- so I downloaded the update via my phone, and while it was trying to upgrade, the phone locked up -- then the update got lost after that and it says my phone is up to date yet I don't have 720p video recording.
I guess my main hurdle is overcoming all these technical speak -- upgrading radio? adb? recovery? kernel? All I want is to do the necessary minimum in order to upgrade from my rooted 2.1 to rooted 2.2.
Would someone please be kind enough to lend a hand? I've looked through "HTC DROID INCREDIBLE helpful/popular threads [LOOK HERE FIRST]" and other threads, but just get lost in the jargon.
Thanks!
These are some instructions I used to do what you want to do. I also added my comments on how I did it later in the posting. Thanks to Heathsrow for his help.

Updating the radio was the scariest part for me cause done wrong and it could brick your phone. Follow the steps slowly and precisely and it should be fine though.
Thread moved to Q&A.
Are you referring to the post by Heathsrow? But those are instructions to go from a Stock 2.1 to rooted 2.2..
I have a rooted 2.1 already. Will it matter?
This is the guide I started checking out last night. Thinking of doing it today!
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=771178
Make sure you apply s-off before installing 2.2, either the OTA or the RUU otherwise you will not be able to root it without downgrading back to 2.1.

Just wanted to say I followed this guide instead
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=760306
It's a lot easier. if you're already rooted on 2.1 start on step 9.
You can download unrevoked-forever at the top of the guide and the 2.15 radio.
Just make sure you follow the guide exactly and read the warnings about updating the radio.
So last night I got received notification for the OTA update, I have been wanting to go back to stock for a while so I used the downgrade method to unroot, I followed a video walked though the process, and everything went just like theres.
The phone booted up and works fine, but Now I am at
Firmware Version 2.1- update1
Baseband version: 1.00.03.04.06
Build number: 1.22.605.0 CL161493 release keys
My issue is the phone wont get a notification for the Froyo 2.2 OTA update, I am stock now.
I waited over night hoping that in the morning I would get notification for the OTA, still no luck.
So I downloaded the official 2.2 DInc Froyo update, and tried to apply it through recovery. It goes through the process part way then errors out...
Any ideas on what I need to do, All i want is stock froyo.
Search for the 2.2 RUU and use it.
Will the 2.2 RUU be stock and allow for me to get OTA updates?
I am not finding the DInc 2.2 RUU, I have tried the search
Not everyone will get the OTA at the same time.. Might not be your turn yet..

Okay!!! Yay, I successfully updated using the 2.2 RUU, it was smooth as can be. Thanks : )
Now, I am not seeing my OTA update that I was seeing last night? Any ideas why it wouldn't be there?
