[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.

[Q] is my phone rooted?

okay so i rooted my phone and unrooted by using nandroid backup then used cheifsreloaded newest slide which is the 7.09.35.10 radio then i used cheifsreloaded 1.35 ota update then everything went back to normal now i just wanna make sure i need ones opinion
also my hboot is 0.52.000 is that normal?
also is that radio the latest or is it rooted?
baseband version
47.41.35.10u_7.09.35.10
kernel
2.6.29-293ab809
build
1.35.531.1 CL216830 release-keys
software

yes u are rooted, as long as you can enter the custom recovery and flash a different rom you are. you can get flamed by posting this questions in the dev section...

you should since that rom is rooted as well, just go into recovery and choose apply update.zip.. if you deleted the file from your sdcard then just put it back... the same way you did to enter and do the nandroid or flash that rom... read a couple of tutorials and you should figure it out on your own

no dude what i did was used a backup by falken never b4 rooted rom and flashed it with ota 1.35 and put latest radio on and now even when i use update.zip it says installation aborted which means im not rooted right and can i send in for warranty exchange and is the latest slide radio is official tmobile radio?

After you've rooted a device you should never update with something official, just wait for someone to post a rooted version. You can use nbetcher's root method to regain root, it works with the update. This should also be moved to Q&A (not flaming just saying). If you manage to get into clockwork install CR_Mod_OTA, it comes with the newest radio and everything else, it's the updated stock ROM rooted.

I don't think anyone is getting the question he wants to no for warranty purposes. No your not rooted anymore after applying the update posted by chiefz. You flashed the unrooted version which broke root so you are good to go. Everything is official and up to date

[Q] If rooted and running Baked Snack do I need to do the Sprint Update?

I am running Baked Snack 1.8 and I woke up this morning to a Sprint update. Since I am not stock and running a different ROM should I do this update? Will it even allow me to since I am not stock?
Is there a way that I could flash this update, did anyone root it yet?
Thanks,
G

If you take the update you will lose root the update is in the dev sections rooted but with out the HBOOT update or Radio's and PRI's and NV you can reroot after but the new methods are a pain in the ass due to the New HBOOTs haveing a different Partition table

So do you recommend me not even messing with it? I'm happy with my phone As-Is. I already have Swype and that is pretty much the biggest feature in this upgrade, correct?

If your are referring to the update from 12/17 I would just do a nan and check out a 3.70(updated Rom) and see if you notice any difference... NEVER ACCEPT A UPDATE FROM SPRINT

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

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

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.
