Has anyone heard anything about this update? I am wondering if this may be my chance to gain root access by waiting for a rooted version?
I "heard" one person...ONE that says he/she got the OTA. I'm not buying it. Oh well...just waiting for the rooted update, if in fact the OTA even went out.
Can I haz Netflix?
In another thread about the update http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1132153
Some one says they called sprint and it was pulled due to bugs.

Hello I'm new here and I would like to ask if I should wait for someone to root the 4.22.651.2 or I should just download the new its the 4.24 and forget about rooting my EVO
So the golden rule is of course never take OTA updates. However, I look at it this way. Your already unrooted, and if they find an exploit were still looking at several weeks before it's released so why not see what the new firmware brings.
Im guessin now that this latest OTA is released things may progress, but what the heck do I know.
I got the update this morning.
So what happened? Is this a whole new ROM or just a patch?
i SAW, AND AS SURE AS SNOT IS SLIPPERY, DID NOT INSTALL TILL I KNOW WHAT IT DOES

So, I know this update was from May, but I have not received it. I used to have this update, then I rooted. I then unrooted by downgrading with a video I found in android forums. At the end of the video, the guy got the 1.22.605.2 CL161494 ota. I as previously mentioned have not gotten this ota yet. Is it possible Verizon stopped pushing this out in preparation for today's froyo release. If this is true, can I upgrade directly to froyo? If not, does anyone have an update.zip?
Thanks

Did the same thing, have the same problem. Since I'm an exchange user as well, I should be getting the May OTA. I know Froyo is coming but I don't want to wait for that to fix the exchange bug. Anyone know where I can download the May OTA before Froyo gets pushed to my DINC?

So, turns out that in a tweet from vzwsupport that you have to go to a store, and have them push the update to you.

This doesn't make any sense to me,
so why would you have to go to the store oto have them push an OTA update from May?, why woulnd't you just use the most recent 2.1 RUU to get the update, and wait for the OTA?

Yea I saw that I thought that was talking about the Moto Droid.. do you see how it says "since its not being rolled out" that's not talking about the Incredible as it is being rolled out.
I still don't understand why you can't get 2.2 OTA did something happen?? I could probably upload a PB31IMG.zip for you of the latest 2.1 for you as well so you can download directly from your phone.
I am having the exact same issue here..
After I downgraded, there was an update.zip on the sd card.. should I push this in recovery?
Also, I HAVE done this downgrade in the past and have always gotten the OTA like a minute after the first boot.
It's okay, I live literally half a block away from a verizon store.
To the person above me, really? Where is it?

This is exactly what leads me to believe it has to do with the update being pushed. I had the same problem, so I just did the latest 2.1 RUU and got toe ROM.zip and made that into the PB31IMG.zip, and now I'm on the latest 2.1 waiting for the 2.2
So, if I do the latest ruu will it wipe my phone? Will the PB31IMG wipe my phone?

I highly doubt they will until after the update is fully done being pushed OTA. I bet they won't even have it yet to give to you.

I just read that they can't even do it at the store for android, it is only done OTA.
I don't see why they couldn't. According to @vzwsupport on twitter the update is done rolling out. I believe them, it will have been four months since that update came on September 3.

You do realize your on the HTC Droid Incredible site right. the update just started rolling out yesterday, and doesnt expect to be done until next friday.
I got a notification for an OTA update couple of days ago, I didn't click on yes because I was afraid to lose my root. Anyone know what the update was about? And would I lose my root if I update?

Thats funny because it true!!
Also, be friendly with the development section, a rooted version of the new ota has been available almost as long as Stock.

There was a new OTA recently with the FPS unlock, and yes, chances are you will lose root if you download it.
You can download any one of the dozens of custom roms that are built on the new update or flash the rooted version of it

Thanks for your help. I really appreciate that.
Also might be worth mentioning that rumor has it that downloading the OTA's
from Sprint (2 in my case), and then flashing them separately is also possible.
However, there is still the risk of loosing root. But it's fairly trivial to regain it.
This is the method I'm going to attempt within the next couple of days.

So Monday I guess there is like a bug fix update to fix the netflix and phantom voice mail that most of us got with the gingerbread update. It annoyed me so much that I switched Roms and am loving my MikG 1.03 Rom. So I do want the netflix back. Will it show up as an ota update on custom Rom or do I wait and get it after someone has posted it as a zip or something.

I'm sure it'll be an OTA but you might as well wait for the rooted version to prevent an un-rootable situation.

I second that...avoid the OTA and the bloatware that comes with it
Those of us who remember the 2.2 OTA fiasco and the days of waiting some users had to do before it could be rooted will know that taking an OTA is, potentially, a trap. Most of the time, not so much, and maybe not even intentionally, but we all know it's possible.
Don't be a lemming. And certainly don't be the first lemming off the cliff.

2.2? The 2.3 update was just as bad, perhaps worse.
And yes, don't take the official OTA, wait for a rooted version of it.

Unlikely. Their announcement was for all newly released devices from that point forward.
I just didn't know if it was going to be a simple tweak or if it would replace the whole operating system. I avoided the gingerbread OTA update so will be doing the same on Monday. Hopefully Tuesday I will be running netflix again.

I heard from somewhere (but don't remember where) that T-Mobile will be issuing an OTA update some time November to open up the wifi calling feature, is that right? Can someone confirm that?
Also, will that OTA be making an update to the existing firmware or will it be completely wiping out the existing system and flashing a brand new one?
Reason I ask is because I'd very much like to keep the root that I have right now with the "Voodoo OTA RootKeeper" app written by supercurio, but that app is only going to work if the OTA is an update, not a complete override.
a bit early, considering the phone just came out less than a month ago...
the next OTA will most likely be ICE 4.0
my guess Feb 2012
There is an update coming I think Nov 16 or something like that to bring us WIFI calling, but that's it for now.
This phone is a Beast..
i thought it was november 11
The 13th was what was quoted in earlier post as far as I can remember. Who really knows though. Should be coming soon though.
i don't count that OTA as an actual update, it's rather an OTA app install
similar to what we can do from Android Market web to install apps to our phones
just this is Tmo sending the app to our phones via OTA

I also read that its the 13th. I at least hope that Samsung would fix the lockscreen issue that a few user are facing. Luckily since I've been rooted on custom roms this hasn't happened to me. Although it did on the stock unrooted rom.

the update on the 13 is only for the WiFi calling app AFAIK
they might include some other bug fix, but i doubt they will have anything for the screen optimization
Oopps, yeah I meant the 13th. Lol.

I'm a little concerned. With everyone here rooted and on custom roms, noone will get the OTA update. That means we have to rely on outside sources for the availability of that update. That also means we will have to unroot/go back to stock to get the update. That just seams like a lot of wasted time. I'm going back to stock right know so I don't waste any time.
Then again, maybe it would be better to get it a couple hours after it is released. I mean with sprints network pushing all those updates at once.... waiting might even be faster.
From what i've seen most of the time the ota is leaked here before its released.

No that was not THE ota but an ota most of the leaks supported ota flash and we will know when the ICS kernel source is released and when you look at your phone and it says there is a firmware update lol
Lol i haven't received an ota on any device since i joined xda
Sent from my SPH-D710 using xda premium
You will know. It will be posted on BGR, Brief Mobile, Android Police, etc. Sprint usually lets the world know a few days before the OTA is sent. Chances are it is that it will be the last RDF that is posted before they announce.
On the old Epic the source was usually dropped the night before the OTA started. There's always someone lurking on stock and you get a topic on the forum stating "Have OTA notification can someone help me pull it?"
So, in conclusion, there's no cause for alarm.
Plus not everyone here is rooted. There are those that prefer unrooted stock. I can't imagine why but they exist

Rooting doesn't prevent the OTA from installing. Modifying or deleting system files with your root power is what causes the OTA to fail.
If you install the pre-rooted EL29 ODIN OneClick, the OTA will install file. It will disable your root, as all official OTAs do.
Won't our phones get the OTA notification regardless what build/ROM is installed?
Depends if the app that handles the updates was disabled/removed, never present, or still active.

Makes sense.
Do you know what app handles that and how to check and see if it's still in operation?
That was my thinking before too. When I first installed custom roms with ek02. I thought how I would have get the next OTA update. I just waited until the developer of the ROM i'm using updates it to the latest build. now I don't feel the need to accept any future OTA updats. Plus it will break root anyway, if you didn't change any system files. Might as well wait a few days and get the update with the ROM of your choice. you can always download the OTA update later on and install it manually if you want too. I wouldn't worry too much about it.

I think it is System Updates, but might be Smart Device Manager.
The process to check for updates is distinct from the one that bugs you to install after it is downloaded. They may or may not be in the same app.
Why would you want the official OTA update when you can wait no more than a day and one of our amazing devs will have it rooted and ready to use like any other leak so far.
