[Q] 2.2 tomorrow confirmed. am i ready?

hey guys, so VZM has officially announced that the Incredible will be getting froyo starting tomorrow! woo finally.
anyway, im concerned with making sure all of my software is ready for the OTA without any issues.
i am currently rooted, S-Off running stock 2.1update 1. im also running the leaked ota with 720p, 2.05 radio and the upgraded H-boot.
with all of the above will i be all set to get the OTA update and update while keeping all my apps and data as well as maintain S-off?
thanks for the help guys,
Kevin

awesome, thanks.
i also have clockwork recovery running, so i believe i need to install the stock recovery image? if so how exactly do i do that?
thanks!

same sort of concern for me, I just rooted via UnRevoked 3 the other day and am going to do Forever tonight on both of our incredibles. When I flash the update, how do I regain super-user permissions in the OTA FROYO? (the update.zip) file they talk about? Any ideas (still a bit new at this). Want to be able to continue wi-fi tether again for free!

So Im rooted with unrevoked3 and forever. Didn't mess with my radio, or any kernels. So since I'm on unrevoked forever does that mean the ota will be pushed to my phone as is?

If you have unrevoked forever, just install stocl recovery once the ota gets pushed out

and once we have the OTA installed? How to re-gain root access?

The same way as installing stock recovery, you would just download and install clockwork recovery back to your phone

If not, the leak is the one coming ota. They're one and the same.

I'm a total noob but I installed the original leaked OTA upgrade (720p) with Radio version 2.05. Then after not being able to find a bunch of Apps I rooted and installed the leaked 8/1 Froyo. So now in about phone I have:
Android Version: 2.2
Baseband: 2.05.00.06.11
Kernel: 2.6.32.15-g5e1ab8b ([email protected]#1
Build Number: 3.16.605.0 CL203589 release-keys
Software Number: 3.16.605.0
If the OTA Froyo gets pushed to my phone is it safe for me to accept and upgrade? I realize root might be lost but I'm most concerned about the radio thing. I've heard of people bricking their phone if they upgrade that incorrectly. Will the new OTA upgrade the radio (to 2.15?) - and I am I good to go?
Thanks for any info and sorry for my lack of experience.....

thanks i just wanted to make sure I had everything ready to go and it really was as easy as re-installing clock-work after the official OTA to gain root access again!

pretty sure it wil only brick if you update the same radio twice, I had no problem running the update on kernel and radio.

Sweet thanks! I just did the unrevoked forever so I guess I'm good to go....
Looking forward to it....

I just copied this from VZW when you click HTC Incred. They are definitely now marketing it as a 2.2 device

Just to clarify this: You must have the stock recovery BEFORE you accept the OTA. Otherwise, the new radio won't flash and features will not work. There are instructions on how to install the stock recovery with s-off here.

I'm rooted and running 2.2 that was leaked a month or so ago with radio 2.05...will I get the OTA update and, if so, is there anything I will need to do different than anyone else who is running stock 2.1 before I do the update?

Sry I ready this after I alrready submited my last post...but I have the exact same set-up as you Jay...I have the same concerns. I've heard some people saying that we have to revert back to 2.1 before accepting the update...is this true?

Ok im a total noob at this.
I am currently rooted with forever
i have:
firmware: 2.1 update1
baseband: 1.00.03.04.06 (had 2.15 before)
Will i not receive the update if i don't have stock recovery?
I want to avoid wiping all my information from my phone (which i understand flashing the stock recovery does)
again sorry im a noob.
if someone could write out a quick step by step it would be GREATLY appreciated.

You'll receive the notification to update I assume. But you'll need stock recovery to actually go through with it. Then after install put clock work back on...

[Q] Can't update my Evo! Can anyone help?

I'm not sure if maybe it has a custom rom on it (bought it second hand) which is why the update fails or if I need to update it via the computer.
I searched for an update and found update 1.32.651.6 (13mb.14mb) Fota update is available. When it starts installing it goes about half way and I get a red question mark and the phone restarts itself and when I try updating it again it says that the update was corrupt and re-downloads it and this has happened around 9 times now.
This is my software info:
2.1-update1 (I want 2.2!)
Kernel is2.6.29-a2443432 htc-kernel and18-2 #1
software version 1.32.651.1
I'm using hardware 0002

Looks like you have stock without root. Try SimpleRoot and gain root access and nand unlock, then flash a custom rooted 2.2 ROM. There are also stock rooted ROMs as well if you like the stock Sprint feel.

Thanks I was already on my way to root because of this which is sort of funny imo. Couldn't get official Sprint 2.2 so I'm forced to root haha. Well I was planning on rooting anyway, but later on when speed would become an issue, but this will be great now so thanks.

just so you know everyone of the guides is using Unrevoked forever to unlock nand there is nothing better right now since the unlock they use is actually as they say forever

Yea there's nothing wrong with the newer unrevoked. Full nand.

Unrevoked is the easiest way
I just rooted my evo like a week ago.. with unrevoked.. and its working great.. i think its the easiest way to root it. just install the drivers first. really easy..
GOOD LUCK

Thanks to everyone! Then i just probably'll use unrevoked!

Same here, I've used unrevoked for some time and no problems

Unrooted to get the ota update and messed me up help

I unrooted to get the ota update and it changed my firmware to 1.47.651.1 and hardware to 0004 also it went from 2.2 to 2.1-update1 any ideas of how I could fix it and re root cause I don't think out can be rooted how it is now I did this cause I thought it would update to Android 3.0
Sent from my PC36100 using XDA Premium App

It can't change your hardware...
Think of what "hardware" means.
Also android 3.0 is tablet only.

Read the firmware and android version he claims to have.
He didn't OTA.

If so then your not on the ota gb then you can root with unrevoked.

HARDWARE doesn't change due to a SOFTWARE update. PERIOD. Firmware can and does.
The OTA update was leaked several weeks prior to the official update, why would you have thought that it was a Android 3.0 update? It's well documented that Android 3.0 is a tablet release. There was dev who ported it to the EVO and almost nothing worked.

I don't know a whole lot about this I'm learning as I go but my phone had a ota update and my hardware was 0003 and now its 0004 but I shouldn't have done that I messed up bad but what I put is what it says my firmware is
Sent from my PC36100 using XDA Premium App

What you're saying doesn't really make sense. Can you check again? The new OTA is 2.3.3 not 3.0 as others have said. What rom were you coming from?

You say your FIRMWARE says 0004? Maybe take a few screen shots so we can see.

No, it definitely was not. What you're saying is impossible. No matter what you think it was before, if it is 0004 now, it was 0004 before the update too. But it doesn't really matter one way or the other.

I mean this with all due respect to you and in care if your phone.
Unroot until you read around some more and gain a good understanding of what you're doing.

you guys are all missing the key piece of info here, the op said he unrooted. this is how he rolled back to 1.47 firmware. one can assume he flashed a stock rom to unroot and he had to of flashed the 1.47 rom probably from the unroot your phone in 2 steps thread. anyhow op, if you are not unrooted with s-on and you take the ota you will be stuck with it until someone finds a way to root it. if you want the newest ota then download the rooted version from this very site. re-root your evo then flash it.
on a side note, i do not understand why people do things that they have no clue what they are doing. if you do not understand it or can not problem solve your way out of an issue then you probably shouldn't attempt it. im not claiming to be an expert but i can google with the best of em and find the fix to about anything i could screw up.

[Q] Getting a referb Inc1, will unrevoked work on it?

I'm unsure what they flash on the refurbs?
Can I expect something compatible with Unrevoked3?
If it does come with 2.3.x can I just follow the 'return to stock'
process to get to a level compatible with Unrevoked?
Thanks

Better hope it doesn't have 2.3.4 update .
Sent from my HTC Droid Incredible using xda premium

It is more than likley going to have 2.3.4 on it as running an ruu is part of the refurb process. If it does you will need to follow this guide to regain root and s-off. This is the only method i have ever seen to root an incredible on 2.3.4.
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1306400

It came with 2.2 installed (SLCD version)
Kind of surprised me too.
I ran Unrevoked3 (supplying a recovery.img for CWMR 5.0.2.0)
and it worked as expected. I then installed Stock+ and am configuring
now.
