How do I get the OTA? - Rooted Incredible running stock sense

I am running stock sense on a rooted phone. I only rooted so I could tether and run adfree, and actually like stock sense very much. Is there a way to install the ota without ruining my phone?

I'm wondering this, too. I'm all stock, rooted with S-OFF, removed crapware. I'm running ClockworkMod 2.5.0.5 though, and I believe I've read that OTAs won't install if you're not running stock recovery. I'm kind of at a loss as to what to do now.

Run the OTA
Reflash your recovery
Done. Re-rooted. OTA doesnt turn s-on.

Will the OTA install if I'm using ClockworkMod?

I'm in the same boat as thevoiceless, and I'm curious of the same thing; I don't want to brick my phone >.>
And is there a link to download the ota?

I love my skyradier 3.3.3 final Rom and I am not interested in this update how do I get It to stop bothering me every half hour to update. It's annoying.

Um... why did you post in this thread?
And to make it stop, I found this in another thread:
Code:
Get your build.prop from your /system/ folder
edit it
put this line in, not add it but replace the line that starts like this ro.build.fingerprint=verizon_wwe/xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx
Replace it with this
ro.build.fingerprint=verizon_wwe/inc/inc/inc:2.2/FRF91/264707:user/release-keys
Replace your build.prop and reboot. I did it by just using root explorer, copying it to the sdcard, editing on my PC, then copying it back to the /system/ folder then reboot. It might nag you once more upon reboot, but ignore and close it and it wont ask anymore.

Thank you. Sorry I posted it here I could not find anything relevant to my problem .

Bob.... thanks a ton. As the brits say "you're a star".. just did it and everything went nice and smooth (well...except the link to the update itself... I kept getting an error when trying to apply it. Found the update on my phone and just used that)
Just did a backup... and removed the crapware again. Thanks a ton!

Can someone link to the crapware apk's? I didn't back them up before I removed them.

Bob, you saved my life. Thank you so much!

Thanks Bob, worked perfectly for me. I copied over some of my disabled apps to the wrong folder, so I got an error the first time trying to install the update. Moved them to the right folder, and the update worked perfectly!

Thanks for the info, it helped me as well! I knew being S-Off would come in handy!

Thanks Bob, worked perfectly for me as well

Question about the "** STOCK 2.2 ONLY - READ MY LIPS SUCKA! **" statement...
Does ODEX vs DEODEX matter?

I got a question regarding the link that Bob posted. in the step 13 where you need to Copy ClockWork Recovery 2.5.0.5 (PB31IMG).zip to just plain PB31IMG.ZIP on the SD root.
When I do that and boot into HBOOT nothing is happening and when i go to recovery it just shows a red triangle and exclamation point.
am i doing something wrong or what? i am S-OFF and the update installed smoothly, i didn't have any of those apps running and i didn't remove my crap ware so i didnt' have to restore that either.

newbie question
What steps would be different if you were trying to do this on a Mac?
I rooted my Incredible using unrEVOked one click root to get wireless tether, that's all I have done. I would like the OTA, but still leery of doing this until I know what is different.
I'm reading all the posts trying to figure out what would be different. Can anyone help me.
Thanks in advance from a total newbie.

So I'm in the same boat as some. I removed (through titanium backup) all the crap-ware including FriendStream. Unfortunately, I can no longer reinstall the apps via titanium so I need to know how to get them back on the phone. When I try to run the update, I always get the error that it was aborted because of FriendStream odex blah blah blah. Help please!
UPDATE!
Problem solved. I downloaded the new RUU which includes the November update and just went from there. Yeah, it wiped the phone and I had to reinstall everything but it was worth it.

Have you watched qbking77's videos on "How to return to stock"?
No, you haven't. You still can though, and I would suggest that. They are great vids and easy to follow along to. You can pause, stop, even rewind them to keep up
All kidding aside, check them out. It will get you where you want.

You might wanna try to flash eb13 and after you use odin to flash to eb13, connect to wifi and manually update your software via ota to ec05. Go to settings and click about phone then system updates and select update android. This should get you back on ec05. I had the same problem when i wanted to go back to ec05. But i gotta say the second time i flashed ef02 all my functions that didnt work previously now work flawlessly. Although i did redownload the ef02 file again so maybe my original one was a bad download...Good luck to you...Dont forget to update us....

still didnt work...and idk if its just my epic but every rom ive tried the battery is off really bad...it would take me a half an hour just to go up 3%...also i backed up my stock 2.2.1 tw and i tried restoring it but it wouldnt restore through clockwork(i have the purple cwm)it would just stay on the samsung bootloader and vibrate constantly. I would have to use another rom just to fix it...i just want to restore it back to stock with root but i have yet to sucessfully achieve that....would appreciate that i looked at the videos but none showed how to restore back to stock

U might want to go back as far as d107 or d118, their eclair versions but u could update back to froyo using ota updating. In your case I would start from the bottom and work my way back up.

[Q] How to restore "Stock" recovery and unroot without reflashing the ROM?

Is there a way to replace CWM with the stock recovery?
Also, is there a way to unroot?
I am currently on EC05 rooted with CWM purple but I'd like to unroot and remove CWM without having to reflash and spend hours reinstalling all my stuff.

Yes. I can't gve an exact guide right now, but you should delete superuser.apk and /system/xbin/su or /system/bin/su. Then find the stock recovery

DCrocks put out a stock recovery flash. Then I guess you would remove Superuser. Why do you need to do this? If you go to Development in the stickies there is the How to fix a semi-bricked Epic. Dyeha posted links for this in one of the last posts.

I'd like to use the OTA GB whenever it arrives. I'm on stock EC05 except for root and CWM, so I think reflashing stock recovery should allow the OTA without losing my setup.

I refuse to have stock anything on my phone; I continue to wait patiently for a GB that is fully modded and hot rodded

Then you are all set...oh, no custom kernel and boot ani right?

I tried the above zip, but it caused my phone to hang on restarting; only odining something could get my phone back.
Like the above poster, all I have is a rooted stock EC03 (with no system apps removed whatsoever), and all I want is to update to EI22, either OTA or from the Google download, without losing my data. Does anyone know of another way to restore stock recovery to help make this possible?
Thanks much!

I wish I could do the same since I'm on stock rom + root. But since I'm already getting the OTA gingerbread prompt, I'm going to go ahead and try to ODIN to EC05 then upgrade to Gingerbread then root again.

That will certainly work. I did it and it worked fine. But I didn't want to lose my settings and data, and I'm not adept enough with Titanium Backup, so I didn't keep things that way. Still trying to find a way with keeping my settings/data...

One Click root will not install, in need of assistance

Greetings, I have this dilemma. My friend has the Epic 4g which was running froyo 2.2.1 I believe. It also had one click root 2.5 installed but still running on the stock firmware. She asked me to unroot it so she could update to froyo 2.3.5.
She backed up all her information using titanium backup. After updating to 2.3.5 she attempted to restore all of her data but titanium backup said it needed to be rooted in order to restorethe data. I attempted to install the latest one click root but I keep getting this message about adb not working and to try again. I apologize I do not have the device in front of me to tell you exactly what was said. I will attempt to install it later on today. I just seeking advice on any other methods to install one click root?

I'm not for sure the one click root works with 2.3.5 to be honest with u but search the forum for the newest clockworkmod. Should be 5 something and its legit for it... anyone else to chime in and correct me go for it

One click roots do not work on Gingerbread. It would have been easier to flash a GB prerooted ROM while still on Froyo like this one:

Now that she did the OTA you will need to follow this:

Well it looks like my phone is g2g. I updated cwm, the modem, and applied that GPS fix. All the bugs I had with froyo appear to be gone and my phone is working like I think it should have when I first bought it. But I guess that's what you get for going with bleeding edge hardware. Now Ill just what for that cyanogenmod to leave the alpha stages and research some of the other roms. (Or pretend that ICS comes out for the epic haha).
I wonder if sprint will release another update to fix the GPS and any other bugs that are floating around...

No, because the average Epic user on the street thinks their phone works great. I know several. Only us extreme users notice the bugs.

Rooting. Where did I go wrong?

Hey guys, first time Android user here.
I got my phone on release day...a few weeks later I decided to root it. Went very smoothly with no issues, then I accepted an update and lost the root so now when I try to root again I always end up with all kinds of stop errors. Anyone have any thoughts on why that might be? Ive tried restoring my phone to factory settings and rooting but it makes no difference, always blows up with error after error.

Saying you reset to factory settings, did you ODIN back to stock?

No sir, just used the reset tool built into the phone....are you saying I need to find the stock firmware and load it through ODIN first?

I would strongly suggest using the ODIN method back to to stock, and then start your rooting process again

Odin to stock, rooted LG1
Dl OTA root keeper from market, using it to back up root
Let the ota update do its thing
Restore root with root keeper

Ok just finished step number one (flashing stock rom) and its the same outcome that ive been getting. As soon as the phone comes on this error pops up unfortunately the process android.process.acore has stopped and it just pops up every ten seconds.

Try clearing you contacts cache, under application manager.
That helped me when I got this error. Never got it again.

Dang.... Wish this conversation was 2 days ago. I had the same exact error after trying to get root, I had to pull battery and do factory reset from stock recovery then flash stock with root and flash the OTA to end up where I wanted to be! . Oh well we live and learn right!
