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.

I guess questions should be banned from this forum, since you can pretty much find anything on Google.
I suppose came straight to experts for answers was a bad idea.
Are troy talking about the 2.2 update from couple of months ago?
This update notification I only got it from about 2 days ago though.

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.

jcase is saying that it's froyo. bummer.
I wonder if it's just a maintenance update, or to unlock bootloader? They did say not to expect GB until August right? lol
PS. Excited for whatever it is.

Pretty certain that it won't unlock. It isn't GB, but it'll be nice to have some bug fixes.

No, I know. I'm just saying that the OTA isn't an update to GB. It'll still be 2.2.
Maybe its a preperation patch for a future bootloader patch. Or just a bug fix patch yea.. either way anything is better than nothing!
This maybe still just rumor but some one in fascinate forum posted they looked earlier in Twitter postings and said it maybe GB. Honestly don't think it is either but we'll see when it come.

please let it be a GB/unlocked bootloader combo~ PLEASE PLEASE PLEASE~
but back to reality, it's likely going to be a froyo with an unlocked bootloader, that would be my guess
Either one would work for us GB would be nice hut as ling as we get an unlock that would be nice.

inc update is GB, thunderbolt is froyo, inc2 is froyo
http://forum.androidcentral.com/verizon-droid-incredible-2/
Why doesn't the Inc2 just jump on GB? Will this just be 2.2.2? Hopefully, the extra .1 will be more than just bugfixes.

It could still be Android 2.2.1 with HTC software bug fixes (ie: for sense/rosie).
This already reminds me of the old Eris forums and rumors of 2.1 for the longest time
Ahhhh...
I loved the days before Xmas as a kid.
At least then I knew when it was coming
That's the idiocy of not shipping these new phones with the latest software. It just creates chaos like this. Ridiculous.

Moved to proper section.
Unlocked bootloader please
sent via Droid Incredible 2
From HTC today:
"I understand that you are wondering when the Incredible 2 will have its boot loader unlocked. We’re pleased to announce that we have heard everyone’s comments and constructive suggestions and have decided to go forward with this initiative. We currently don’t have information regarding which existing phones will be unlocked. Keep an eye on our official website and official social media outlets for announcements about which phones will be bootloader unlocked and when."
My neighbor just got a dinc2 and she saw CM7 on my tbolt.. of course she wanted that instead of Sense. So I tried AlphaRev to do the S-OFF stuff but I get 'failed getting root ' on both windows and linux. I think she has 2.3.3 on there.
Is there no way to put CM7 on this guy?
Not yet if it shipped with 2.3.3

Oh, and you might want to move this to the general section. Its a question, not a full development related thread...

What he says, thread moved.
Nope, not with my Dinc2 with Gingerbread update either... Here is to hoping HTC removes the ridiculous signed boot loader like they promised with the Sensation.
For serious, also hoping that alpha rev x hooks up those who updated but perhaps want to root later. That guy / team is awesome.

I hope someone figures out this whole GB mess. I've only had my Dinc2 for about a week and I'm already dying to flash something!
I'm in the same boat... just got my Dinc2 and was hoping there was SOME way to s-off this bad boy.
It shipped with GB 2.3.3..
If I WANTED it to have the GB on it, it would have come with Froyo!! Grrrr.
I assume no way to flash a 2.2 RUU?

Another speculation topic. Yes I know.
But Telus has a reputation of not labeling something as "Coming Soon" until it is right around the corner.
Remember, Telus doesn't add a lot of bloatware to the releases they get from Samsung, so this could be the real deal. We'll see shortly(hopefully).

I talked to a Telus rep in Vancouver, about 2 weeks ago, they said they hadn't heard anything(which usually means its a ways off)

Why another thread? I don't mean to be a troll or anything but enjoy what you have right now and when ics drops then it will drop. No need to get people hyped up

Sorry but I think the next ICS thread should be when someone actually has a leak or something. Nobody really cares that some rep says soon
Sent from my SGH-T989 using Tapatalk
Well as much as I agree that we do not need another spec thread, Teleus did say that ICS would come out Q1 for rhe SGH-T989D

It wouldn't be impossiblé, but it'd be great! Then I can probably go back to Telus stock firmware. haha .. unless someone can make a AOSP off that

It is not a rumor, it is not a rep its an official Telus statement on their official website, usually when telus posts coming soon it arrives within 2weeks.
This will very likely come out before tmobile version. Does anyone have ubuntu and a t989d in canada?
I hope this is true

Whatever it is this thread is pointless t-mobile rep told me ota 's will start rolling out in 2 weeks, should I start a thread? Can we not just say this the one of many ICS threads we already have.

If we're playing the he said/she said game, then Samsung said the ICS update would come in Q1. Then, T-Mobile said ICS would come as close as possible to Samsung's release. We all know how that has turned out. So I'll believe it when I actually download the official release. Until then, everything is hearsay and should be taken with a grain of salt and a cocktail.
However, that being said, I'm confident that a carrier OTHER than T-Mobile will release official ICS for our SoC variant first.

Haha, this forum is full of impatient folks fixated on instant gratification. ICS will come, so just sit back, relax and wait. Im not jumping into the skyrocket leak because I dont want to have to deal with the issues or trying to make it work 100% on a slightly diff phone.
2.3.6 works just fine for now, and seeing as how the phone will live more of its life in ICSville, its nice to use GB for now, stable and decent batt life. It will be like getting a new phone again when it does roll out! Just wait guys...its just around the corner, remember and cherish these last days of Gingerbread lol
Telus website has had ICS - COMING SOON on for S2X for couple months now. Your post is absolutely pointless.

You can either choose to sit and wait for it while trying to make sense of all the rumors or you can simply move on.
I have been waiting patiently for Samsung to at least let us know when they are planning on releasing it but, alas, it has not happened as yet. Thus I have just obtained a Galaxy Nexus and will be getting rid of the 989 tonight. The software fragmentation is killing Google and it's souring me on Android release after release. From Eclair to Froyo to Gingerbread, it has been nothing but a big fiasco with these updates.
This thread is pointless.

So what. Whats your point?
So what happens when telus doesn't hold up there end of the deal? Do we start another thread?
All these ICS rumor,fact,fiction,he said ,she said ,whatever you want to call it thread have been taken down for a reason.Cause there pointless and thats my point buddy.
If i remember correctly, April last year is when official Gingerbread was released to Telus devices, So it could possibly be the same time frame for the Ics.
I remember it was His desire hd because i was already using a custom gingerbread rom on my desire.
if it doesn't get released, can we start some war with telus for false advertisement

Quit crying. These threads well never stop. So there is no point in wasting your time and effort in telling people to stop. So, once again, quit crying. Get over yourself. You don't run this forum or thread. There are enough rent a mods on this forum we don't need someone else trying to join that group
Looks like its possible

If this is true we already have that in our latest leak....LJ7 build so we just need it to be official so the devs can get source
Please search before posting...or at least look 3 threads away.
