I keep getting Nagged for an update. Anyone know how I stop it from asking. It keeps trying and trying.
Have you already got the first OTA? If so then we need to get a copy of the OTA that you are being asked to install.
What are your current build number and software number under about phone?

are you the same cdma over at android forums by any chance?
yep. I finally got my phone rooted again after many tries but now I seem to get a request to install an update and this time I am not going to take the chance and losing root. Does anyone know where that update sits on the phone?

CDMA, I (as well as many) know how to do this. HOWEVER, your claim MAY be valuable, hence why all the questions, and not answers to your thread. Do us a favor and screenshot your build number/software info for us. (under about phone of your settings menu). If everything checks out, we can continue to help you block the OTA updates.
What is odd is you getting prompted for OTA this late in the game. Unless you have recently applied an older RUU, you should not be getting prompted for OTA. Please provide this info. Thanks.

In that thread didn't you say that you are a tester for Verizon or something and that you got the latest update that supposedly provides 720p, wireless hotspot, etc? If so are you saying that you have rooted even after that update? If that's the case then the Unrevoked root method has not been patched by the latest update.
Cdma,
If this is the new ota then this is great news. Please post your build number and if you haven't already flash the clockworkmod recovery using unrevoked's reflash. Then we can pull the ota and unrevoked can make it root safe.
cdma head on over to the irc channel and we can help you get the ota off your phone
Hey guys. Check your asses and see if there's any smoke being blown up it. Ya?
Haha. There's an inordinate amount of butt smoke on this forum.

Did you ever try and RUU back to stock? You said you were gonna give it a shot...
I didn't want to really get into this because I could be wrong, but I work for Verizon Wireless. I looked around the pages of information we had to see if maybe there was a planned OTA update for the Incredible. We normally get warned in advance for any software updates that are being pushed to the phone. Needless to say, I wasn't able to find any information after some thorough digging. I figured that maybe this was a test that HTC was doing before releasing it to us. I asked some reps from HTC that were showing off the Incredible that day and they hadn't heard of any update coming for the Incredible. They said they would shoot me an email if they heard anything, but I never heard back. So, maybe it is true, but I'm still doubting it until I see something in writing about it.
Seeing as how we cant get a screenshot im sort of feeling its either the original OTA or total bull****. Would love for it to be neither but if i had i would find a way to get it in to the brilliant hands of our developers. I know id like to be the guy who blessed the many members of XDA with 720p video and that sweet new boot animation.(and mainly a way to keep root) Anyway ill stop my rant as thats not my style.

I recall another user named "cdma" over at androidforums who claimed he worked for VZW and was sent a OTA to "test". Why start a new thread two weeks after posting on another forum about similar subjects. What are you fishing for?

You should post a screenshot of the update and/or of your updated firmware version page. Otherwise prepare for many to question the validity of your post
there have already been quite a few people posting that they have received the update in this thread. One has even posted screenshots to prove.

Holy .. I hope I will receive the update in the Netherlands. I bought my device in the UK. The device isn't on the market in the Netherlands yet. Guess they will be shipped with the fix. Swell, have to dust off Odin again I guess. Is there a package to flash?
Edit: never mind..found the update package here already.
Got mine earlier today. Just did a manual check for update at around 18 and there it was.
Kinda freaked out when it wouldn't connect to the mobile network after the update, no connection at all heh. Only thing that worked was Wi-Fi. Thankfully fixed by another reboot

Great. Nevertheless I applied the update manually. But good to know for the future.
I just got the update too, but Im rooted so it wont update. Has someone posted a rooted version yet? I'm not really about to read through 200 pages in the other thread
Thanks.
EDIT: Nevermind, I found this: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1370380
Flash with clockwork, then re-root if desired.
I just got an ota update pushed today but I haven't tried to update yet because I'm rooted. I am wondering if this is new or if this could be the same update as last time being sent out again. I didn't update the last time because it seemed to be a small update to change the coding of the pinch to zoom feature. Any word of a new update? Thanks in advance

Just fyi, even though its a small update, it shouldn't cause any issues where data is concerned, and you can update a number of ways that will let you stay rooted. See my firmware thread in development stickies to get the fw or ota.
More importantly, the upcoming jb update will patch this update, so if you haven't updated you may miss the message.

Sorry about posting in the wrong spot. I have build UVLH2. I got a notification maybe a week or two ago but didn't update because everyone said it didn't really do anything. Are there significant changes this time around?
You'll need this update to get the jb.
No reason not to update....

Well I was a little reluctant to apply the new updates for fear that they would mess something up or take away some feature that I enjoy. I applied one update because it added the brightness bar but it took away the search feature. I found a way to put the search back but didn't want to lose some other functionality unless it was worth it. So do you know if I have to go back and apply the previous update before I can apply the one that just came through?
Depends on what you've done to the phone since then. If you've modded, removed, added or replaced anything then you'll probably have to odin flash the stock build to get the update. But why do that when you can just odin the updated build!

I also just got it and it looks quite suspicious... Other people share my point of view:
http://forums.androidcentral.com/ge...pdate-available-facebook-malware-warning.html
Looking like a self updating version of FB as far as anyone can tell...probably just to make sure that everyone is on the same page. Would be nice though if they could mention something instead of just blasting everyone's phone all suspiciously like this. Just something that there should at least be an on site notification to let you know, or any sort of official statement by them. Not installing it myself until I hear more about it.
This sure is strange. One guy installed and now he can't seem to sign in his Google account...
I'm not doing anything too now.

Just read about it on Android Central.
It is from facebook, but it will only download over wifi only, otherwise the notification will keep coming back. The update is independant from the playstore and violates googles developer rules. It is only being pushed to phones that have the install apps from unknown sources checked. Facebook has confirmed they pushed the update, but refuse to say what it does! I think El Goog is going to be pissed about this!

yeah I was going to ask - since this isnt 4.3, and I'm not rooted / unlocked, if this was safe to take for stability's sake. I guess I'll wait to see if it changes anything big before accepting it :fingers-crossed:

Lol well if it ends up messing up your chances of an exploit there's always Colorado This is why I'm sending mine to Sonic. I don't want to have to worry about this kind of BS from Verizon anymore.
Also, has anyone experienced lock ups at all? I haven't.
No update for me checking manually. When it does come through, we can pull the update.zip and post it here and make a flashable update for those of us unlocked and still on Sense.

So what's the bottom line for those of us with locked-down phones? If we still hold out hope for an exploit, even after 4.3 drops, is it advisable to refuse this OTA when it shows up on our phones?

Yes, defer the OTA as long as possible until we know that there is indeed no pending exploit waiting until after 4.3 release.
Nobody take it. You do not know what they fixed or if HTC found some exploit already.
When they say they will include ISIS, is that with tap and pay? From the other thread I had come to understand tap to pay would not work because we do not have a Secure Element in our NFC, unless you get a SIM with this included. Or is ISIS different?
IF you want a CHANCE at root
do NOT take ANY OTA..
Rule of thumb
I have two wishes from this update.
1. Fix the camera.
2. A Dev ports it for us people who are S-OFF'd or rooted.
edit: Or I guess I could have read the patch update text from Androidpolice.com. Boo.
Camera fix isn't until 4.3 update according to HTC.

Don't companies sometimes do a small update before a major one to help prepare your device? I seem to remember that happening for a different phone back in the day. Maybe this is a pre 4.3 update.

In all likelihood, you already have one. Unless you're using a SIM from your phone from like two years ago, its been replaced. My GN had a secure SIM in it. Here's an article describing it: LINK Then of course, from what Ive read ISIS still only works reliably in the test markets in Utah and Texas.

Its entirely possible. I don't think we'll see the 4.3 update for 2-3 weeks. I'm going to be sending my phone to sonic tomorrow after work so I won't have to worry about losing root but I wouldn't accept the update until after 4.3 is released if you want to have a chance at exploits.

From what I read, I think it will be a few months minimum before we see 4.3. VZW is like a snail with releasing stuff.
