My buddy has the dinc and it is stock and he does not want it rooted at all but when i connect it to wifi it won't find the OTA is just keeps saying he's up to date and its on 2.2 anyone have any ideas?
They roll out these updates in batches. More than likely your buddy just isn't in any of the groups that have rolled out so far. Verizon does this so their servers aren't always clogged with people trying to download.
My girlfriend is in the same boat. Just be patient.

I don't know if VZW does this but my brother is on T-Mobile. He went to the store and they updated his phone there by plugging it in and updating it. Might want to ask them.

I called Verizon last weekend because my wife's stock non rooted dinc hadn't received the update - they talked to an engineer who said they were still going out, and that they didn't have a timeline for completion. That was 8 days ago and we are still waiting. The good that's come of this is that I'm actually considering getting s-off on her phone just so when we sell them next April hers will be worth more.

Does anyone else get the sense that Verizon has stopped updates in the last few days? I'm probably wrong, but it doesn't seem like there have been any word on the update still going out. I wonder if it was halted because of some of the issues that were found (such as wrong screen size and the Sprint error).
I wouldn't be surprised if we saw another OTA (version 4 perhaps) rolled out in another month or so to correct those issues -- and maybe then the update will reach everyone.

I'm one of the idiots who decided to flash the 2.2 pre-release before even looking for a rooted version. I'm a dumbass, I know. Being new to the whole ROM thing, I figured I would just revert my last nandroid when I was down playing with it not realizing thinking that without root it's impossible. I want to return my phone to store where I got it from a week ago. Is their a credible reason that I can get them to exchange it for? Thanks!

Tell them it keeps turning off. Tell them you have had multiple drop calls and that it freezes.

Are they actually going to check that? *shrugs* Think of a backup just in case perhaps, but idk.
You can always just tell them that you downloaded it from HTC's website. There's nothing illicit about that.

Sprint sent out the update to some ppl Fri which is how the development teams here got it some how... so just say you checked for updates and it downloaded.. plus your phone is not rooted so you will be ok.

Thank y'all for your tips!
I took it back to where I bought it today and explained to them that "I got this update the other day and ever since I have been having random issues with calls dropping out and haven't been able to maintain a stable 4g connection." The guy, who had sold the phone to me initially, took it to the back for five minutes and then came up and said he couldn't find anything wrong and that I would just have to "live with it" until the next update is released. I tried the whole I'm switching carriers threat but that did not work. He actually suggested I do that if I wasn't satisfied! Now, I understand that he was trying to do his job and reduce churn (I worked for another Sprint store and that was how we were trained), but to suggest leaving is just plain ridiculous (we would get fired for that)!
Having already been shot down and knowing the answer was still probably going to be no, I went to another store ~20 miles away. The guy there told me the same thing about not being able to return it if they couldn't find anything wrong. To my surprise, however, he said that with the last update they had a lot of returns and for that reason he would take it back.
I am now sitting here staring at a brand-new 2.1/1.47 EVO! I am getting ready to root and see if I can restore my last nandroid. Having learned my lesson, I think I will wait until someone comes out with a new rooted version of the final OTA.
Hi Guys -
unfortunately the incredible got bricked today after unroot. I unrooted, then allowed the official update to run, then tried a radio update and it went south - no charging light, wont turn on, wont fo in to HBOOT - notta. I am guessing that this is now my newest and most expensive paper weight but before I shot the patient I thought I would ask if there is a way to un-brick that did not come up while searching google or the forums. I know that I am 99% SOL.
Nope...not that I know of.

Assuming you were already on the 2.05 or 2.15 radio and ran the 2.05 radio update, you are indeed truly bricked. I don't believe anyone has found a way to recover from this.
VZW was nuts to try to save a little data by packaging a radio patch rather than a full radio update, but you get what you get when you deal with a leak.
^ was afraid of that, I was actually on the 1.xxxxx radio, oh well that is what I get for testing things out.

Hmm... well then it's not the well know problem of applying the 2.05 radio patch to the wrong version radio. Not sure what went wrong.
yeah me either, I really dont gave no warning before it just shut off. When the screen went blank I was thinking....please let be a reboot.....not that lucky, she never came back :-/

Call vzn and told them your phone wont turn on and you will get a replacement phone the next day.
slight problem - I had my blackberry hooked up and was going to swap after the update so I dont think they will be able to do anything....
similar problem
i had a similar problem. I'll tell you this. if its under manufacture warranty send it in. i did. they have to put a whole new board but its going to be free. If they have to replace the whole board i think it should be clear how we are never going to see a fix we can do anytime, or ever for that matter.
I was messing around with roms the other day and had the same issue. Did a battery pull and life was good again. Hope that works for you.

I know that today Verizon updated the support page for the new 2.2 update. That's a first. When I first saw the rumor I checked no updated page. Nyah! Went and did some other mom things.
Then engadget posted a picture. So I went and checked the support page again. There it was updated for the new 2.2 information. I can't wait to see what new rom's come out of this.

Today I received an evo from a friend who switched carriers, he said it was never rooted but he did the gingerbread update on it.
Anyway of finding root for 2.3.3? can I RUU to 2.2 or something?
reason is, I want to be able to wifi tether my phone and have hdmi on all apps.
Thanks

There's only one way and it only works if you have the $7 insurance.
Break the phone, pay $100, get phone with 2.2.
Unfortunately, 2.3.3 hasn't been rooted yet for the Evo due to the bootloader.
I don't have the insurance haha, but oh well, I can wait

Hopefully it won't be long, there's a minor update coming to fix some gingerbread issues and *hopefully* they will alleviate the bootloader issue for those subject to it.
If you are eligible I would recommend the insurance though.
Hey guys i 100 percent sure they will not add the insurance unless it goes through a supervisors permission or something cuz sprint is strict about those things insurance must be added at time of purchase. cheers

Also, they are shipping with 2.3.3 now at least that is what I am hearing. Either way, you are kinda stuck until the source and root come out, hopefully soon because better kernels will come out then too!

well i recently received a refubed evo 4g with 2.3. my question is, can the techs at sprint downgrade my evo back to 2.2 or to a lower hboot ?
They may downgrade you to 2.2 if you complain about gingerbread..but if you ask about downgrading the hboot, I think it'll tip them off you're trying to root it / had it rooted before.
ok cool, funny thing is the techs at my sprint store have all there phone rooted LOL
call asurion and tell them the screen and battery is overheating and that you want a brand new evo and not a refurb, they will send it to you no charge.

They may or may not do that, but the new one could have GB on it too. So no point.
Right now they can't do it, unless Sprint/HTC give them a tool to do so. If they were to do so, it'd probably leak here pretty quick. My understanding is that they have the same RUU we do, which was specifically coded not to allow downgrading. That's no accident, by the way...they plugged the old root holes and didn't want to let people downgrade and root.

I believe they have 30 days from the release, and I thought I saw the official release was like 26 June [or mid June] so they 'technically' still have time.

The only good that will really come of that is the source, so they can start making custom kernels for GB, like synergy, kingdom, ect; but yes, bring on the root.

No, that's how long they are supposed to have to release the kernel source code to comply with GPL.
As far as unlocking bootloaders, HTC said they were changing their policy, but haven't made commitments to how soon it will happen or how whether it'll apply to current devices.
I'm also not totally convinced that the carriers won't try and succeed in vetoing this new policy. Granted, they've allowed the Nexus, but they haven't promoted that device either. Hopefully they will get the message though and not stand in the way.
if a sprint store can downgrade a phone. why can't we do it as easily? I want to know exactly how they do it so we can spread the word. :-D

Seconded. The only way to rollback 2.3 is to remove the chips and force flash them via a programmer. I have done this ONCE just to see if it could be done. To be honest, no customer would ever pay the cost of having it done and even if they would I can't tie up the service center that long for one customer.
I recently got a new evo due to a replacement and like many other folks I'm stuck unrooted with 2.3.3. It came with the 4.22 update instead of the 4.24 update. So should I stay with 4.22 or upgrade to 4.24?

I don't have any inside info on this but logically working on 24 makes more sense. People on 22 can get to 24 for a root but some one on 24 can't get to 22. So it will help every one for them to find a root for 24 and just some for 22.
