You need to be bone stock to get upgrade, but you can and should have s-off from unrevoked forever. Use my sig link if you need more help.
Thanks....i've got s-off so i downgraded back to the original 2.1 and everything that comes with it. Now the waiting game begins...
Good Luck with the waiting game, I'm waiting myself
I was told you just need to be on 2.1 with stock recovery and radio. Removing bloat is fine. You want to apply s-off so can get root again the update.

Still no way to root successfully on new OTA?

I see people having problems with every method going. Just wanted to make sure I am not missing a thread somewhere as I can only view on phone app right now. I want to update but wont risk losing root.

If you're rooted just flash a rooted rom, there's a few out already.
And: post in the right section.

My bad on posting in the wrong place, im on my phone and figured someone in this section would be the first to know, I appologize. I flashed a rom already with the new ota but I want to update the radio and 4g too and I read that aside from the possibilites of having 4g connection issues via bad mac addresses the new radio will cause problems with my old hboot and once I go to the 2.10 version rooting is not possible. I was just looking for any info saying otherwise but its a bit hard on the phone app to scroll through everything. I'll just wait until someone gets the root working and then unroot via s-on ,ruu back to stock 3.29 and dl the ota via HTC software update. Thanks for the time.

[Q] ROM installing problems

Whenever i try to install a new ROM on my HTC Wildfire 2.1 it blocks at the boot-up.
I erased everything and the cache memory from the ClockWork Recovery and made a back-up image.
I tried installing them from the cold-boot and with ROM Manager even though it's the same thing.
Also, by updating it to 2.2 will i lose my root?
Thanks
I am rockin a hero200 and i have gone between 1.5 to 2.2 to 2.1 then 2.3 back to 2.1 not in the same day of course.Through all that i have kept root with out having to re-root.
you should be fine depending on how you go about rooting it. as for the problem you are having im not the most qualified out there but i do know my fare share it could be a bad recovery flash or your phone didn't hold the root i had that happen once.
i would recommend going on the market and downloading Root Checker to see if your is actually rooted.
what method did you use to root.
The one where you use the android sdk. Not the unrevoked one

not sure if i can link so goggle Guide one click root wildfire. <-- i beleave this is an unrevoked method
i talked to a friend he had a similar issue and that worked.
it should be the first. I usually dont recommend the one click root mainly because i like to have control over what is going on but it fixed a friends phone.
like i said before use Root Checker to see if your is actually rooted.
when i first rooted my phone last year i had a recovery img but no root privileges in the the phone and i fixed it by re-rooting.
il look some more and get back to you but if you want to give this a shot i hope this helps. good luck my friend
The app says that my phone is rooted.
So, i remember now how i rooted the phone.
Installed the HBOOT drivers, then Unrevoked.
Any way of un-rooting the phone, update, re-root?
Also, will it work on 2.2?
ok so this is what i found you can try to find a wildfire stock ruu. I have never looked into un-rooting so im not the best one to ask. From what i understand it flashes a stock rom back to the phone.
you can also try looking up other methods of flashing and test them out when i started thats what i did. i mean your phone is already saying its rooted whats the harm. just read and ask questions before you try something never hurts to be safe and let the others know what your attempting and why.
Unrooting is not my problem.
I want to know why i can't install a custom rom on my phone.

n0ster are you going back to stock using odin? That was my problem and with my captivate, I used odin did the back to the American stock and I was able to load my first rom which was firefly!!!
No. Now it seems i can't update to 2.2.
So i should go back to stock, and try installing a new rom?

I was thinking.
If i would reset the phone to its factory settings, then root it again.
Would i still be able to install the ROM?

Here you go man. Its called an RUU, rom utility update, or something like that. Choose the first one on the page, the 3.70 software. That should work. Sometimes it takes a couple.tries, and you need to have HTC Sync installed. Good luck.

You can't rollback from 2.3 if you have an unrooted (S-ON) phone.
Bummer, even took it to Sprint to roll back and they couldn't do it they said they will call me when they can figure it out

stock/rooted rom?

can anybody tell me what the latest OTA/stock/rooted rom is and point me in the right direction.
I see someone must have made the swap
Sent from my Incredible 2 using xda premium
we will be but im helping the guy find the latest ota thats rooted. the only one i see was pulled from here.
if your already s off I believe this is what your looking for http://www.androidpolice.com/2011/0...gingerbread-update-for-htc-incredible-2-leak/
or if your looking to go back to non rooted stock http://www.androidpolice.com/2011/0...8-605-4-same-as-the-official-gingerbread-ota/ this was can be flashed if your s-on it is signed official gb unrooted
you guys officially got gingerbread right? or not yet? looking through the rom you linked i do not see superuser app in system/app at all. the guys dinc2 is already rooted with s-off. i just wanted it back to stock/rooted when i get it for activation.
yeah we got official. If I was u I would run the nonrooted ruu and have a fresh start you can root it very easily with revolutionary anyway. and if you run the official ruu it will give you a totally clean slate and get all his temp files and other junk off of it
