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.
Ok dumb question but how would you go about upgrading to gingerbread on a rooted phone?! I can't seem to find the answer anywhere & I'm scared when the time comes I won't know how.

I assume you haven't rooted?
You'd have to flash (install) a ROM that's based off of Gingerbread. Right now, there are only two or three of those
I have rooted & flashed myns warm. that's what I'm worried about..or my question I guess. How would I get gingerbread on my rooted phone.

Like would I update through Sprint or is it something I have to do manually?
Sent from my PC36100 using XDA App
Manually or wait until they push it out officially.
Using my HTC Evo phone which I'm using Xda app to post
At the moment you would have to do it manually. As far a I am aware the few roms that are available are not yet completely stable, and not all the features are working. Cyanogen is working on CM7/gingerbread, but has not released a build. Sounds like they're getting close though, as he tweeted he's using it as his daily driver.

there are 3 Gingerbread ROMs in the Android Development forum thus far. They're all in Alpha or early Beta forms currently, and for most people are not stable or feature-full enough to be daily users.
If you're new to rooting I'd shy away from flashing experimental Alpha builds unless you're ready for some troubleshooting. It might be in your best interest to wait until they are more general public ready.
If you are interested, here are the links to the 3 I'm aware of:
Comes tweaked so far. Not really stock:

Pretty much stock:

Pretty much stock as well:

I've personally used the 2nd and 3rd. Both worked for me but not without some issues for sure.
Oh and no matter what, get very familiar with recovery and NAND BACKUPS (nandroid). Especially when trying these alpha roms, get used to backing up your working roms and restoring them.
Everyone is so helpful but I'm not trying to do anything with my phone until it's officialy released. I just don't know how being rooted effects updating. I don't know if I'm wording this correctly...lol sorry
what my friend is trying to tell you sinse you are rooted you have to wait untill a rom w/ gingerbread on it which he provided some for you. and if you apply it manually you may be un-rooted then until unrevoke or others can break it .
Hi all
anyone know of a fully woking gingerbread rom at this point?

CM7 is the closest. Was using as a daily driver until yesterday to run Z3. Everything but 4g, which no GB rom has.
Check out the cyanogen forums for the latest nightly builds, and the CM7 thread in the general section for any Q's or info.

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?

There already are Android 2.3 based roms, but this is gonna be the official 2.3 release with Verizon.
Unless I totally missed what you were trying to say

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?

With the recent uncovering of the rdf page showing samsung/sprint are working on an official 4.0 release for the E4GT, I can't help but ask questions about the details of OTA's while rooted. I'm running a custom ROM and kernel, will this interfere with my ability to receive the ICS OTA when it does happen? Although I love my custom phone, and am very happy with my decision to root it, I am certainly not the only one who would like to run ICS. Anyone have any knowledge?

There won't be a ota for over a month or two....this is for a leak it will be a tar file flashable in Odin....you never want to take a ota when you are not stock that's asking for problems....if you are only rooted you can take ota and it will work and remove root also ...this leak will not be perfect look at international gs2 they have had like 4 or 5 leaks and still no ota yet... It will probably be the same here ... 2 or 3 leaks and then you can expect a ota after that..

Yeah I understand the OTA wont be prolly till April atleast, so I know in safe for awhile and will continue running blazer. but lets say when the end of March rolls around, should I revert back to a stock ROM and kernel and then ill be fine to take the OTA? or lets say it tries to give me the update before I revert my ROM I can refuse and get the update after I stock my phone? these sound like dumb questions but sadly they are ones I do not know the answer to..

The ota will fall if you try to apply it anyways .... But if your running blazer he will update to 4.0.3 or whatever they leak real soon so no need to take a ota anyways ... Then you would have to re root etc,...
Sent from my SPH-D710 using xda premium
True, I fully intend on rooting with ICS. but I'm not all about running unstable roms with stuff broken. I need everyday walkaround stuff. (blazer rules). but basically your advice is to just chill with blazer, refuse any sprint otas and rock the 4.0 update since phantom will prolly bust one out before Samsung anyways?

So I got my inc2 back up and going and did a factory reset. It's on stock 2.3.4. Well for some odd reason it tried to ota during the reset. Now, when I check for an ota it does nothing. If I try to boot into recovery (stock recovery) I get the phone&triangle. Anyone have an idea what's going on? Also, I'm wondering if anyone has figured out a way to root this thing computer free? I doubt it but I'm hoping since I no longer have a computer

As far as I know 2.3.4 is the latest stock ota this phone ever got. HTC (or Big Red) forgot they made our phones and that is where the support and GPL compliance went out the window. Our phones are shiny new or cost $400 and such.
As far as without a computer...... not possible sorry.. Any friends with one?
Yeah, just not sure when ill have the time to swing by a friends house. I thought I missed GB but ugh, there has actually been a lot of features added in since GB.
