New firmware update today? - Verizon Droid Incredible 2

Good thing my battery was dead, it did not take the update.
Anyway my phone is rooted, does anyone know what this update is about and should I let the phone take it.

I did, this is where it got me.
I'm running your rom for a long time, what's this update going to do.
Search, sure, here's an example of the search function.
I search for a word root.
It comes back with 10 links, each one is 1 to 100 pages of replies.
Do you really thing I'm going to spend hours, and hours looking through everyone of them pages for the word ROOT, your out of your Fng mind, when it is so simple for a forum lifer to point someone to the right place.
I'm on other forums and there is one, I will not mention, where it does not matter how many times the question gets asked, people help the person and point them in the right direction.
If your best answer to a question is search, don't say anything at all.
Hold your useless reply.

That's why you don't search "root" lol. Any way, just remove the otacerts from Andy's ROM and don't worry about it. If you take the update, who knows what'll happen. I know it prevented people from s-off'ing their devices. Or rather sending them into bootloops whenever they rebooted using a sense ROM.

OTA yes or no..........?

ok just a simple question.......Can we apply the OTA update from HTC or not?
I am not ready to root yet but also do not want the ability taken away, I know that people are reporting that the unrevoked method still works but is this really where the rooting method is going to stay since it seems to me its really not complete yet.
I could be missing something so please let me know what you think as coming from the Hero I am a bit confused
wow, not 1 opinion.........this is weird for this forum
There is already answers in this very forum page, you didn't even looked once before posting the question. Yes, you can do the OTA Update.

man oh man, I post a question in Q&A, and this guy wants to talk trash on his second post since 09' you are truly an asset to this community
If you do update you are going to want to get ready to install atk to kill the calendar app. http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=695515
I did not use the phone pre update so I have to say the update is actually good beyond the calendar issue. The other sprint bloatware that people are saying are running and draining battery aren't running on their own in the ota.

How to block the 2.2 OTA?

I searched these forums and have heard others pose the question, but I have yet to hear a clear cut answer. The forum activity has been in a frenzied state lately so forgive me if I missed it.
Is there a way to block the 2.2 OTA? Does it install automatically? Like many, I'm rooted and running CM6 and loving it and would like to keep my phone just how it is. Hopefully I can just decline the update and not be nagged by it going forward.

The phone won't install any OTA without your permission, even full stock.
With CM6, you'll probably never get prompted because I think Cyanogen removes the OTA capability to keep this from happening.

I sure hope so, that would be best case scenario. Thanks for the reply.
No, its true, you can't even update your prl and profile with CM6, you have to flash a different rom and then nandroid back.
The only issue i have is the temptation lol.. but i'm sure it'll only be a few days before a CM6 or other ROMs are based off the official release.

South Florida sucks. Everyone else.... thanks for the feedback.
No need to, most of the Roms will not allow you to get the OTA update, and in the event you see that update you will have an option to install or not, so you are good.. no worries...
my brother has the nexus one, and let me tell you it is awesome, i have tried a whole bunch of ROM's out there and they are all cool but dont really compare to froyo 2.2. my question is, when will there be a 2.2 froyo root for the EVO?

[Q] Clockwork Mod 5.0.2 Not working

I just flashed 5.0.2 and I can no longer boot to recovery. I'm running:
ILWT CM7 b2 right now.
I can't reboot to recovery from the shutdown menu, or from ROM Manager. It worked once, and now it just sits there at the HTC screen. Any ideas? I tried to reflash it too from ROM Manager - same deal.
Open rom manager go to the bottom of the page, you can see an option that allows you to install a previus version of cwm.. it is called "clock work mod recovery (all)". try the previus version (3.0.2.4) install it... It should work...
sent from my HTC vision with synergy Rom using xda app
I flashed back to 5.0.1 - same issue. Could it be related to the ROM I have installed?
No. If you bothered reading any of the numerous threads speaking of this exact same issue..or looked in the clockworkmod thread you would see that recovery 5.X have issues. That's why the initial response told you to flash 3.0.2.4 not 5.

A.) Didn't feel like reading 500 pages on a thread where 90% of it is "cool ROM"
or B.) I couldn't actually find the result.
A handy "Ok, here's the answer" would be awesome. But alas, elitist dicks still exist on XDA. Forgot alll about that.
I have noticed an over-bearing douchey attitude in quite a few threads... Kinda makes you think twice about asking for help, which is retarded. That's the purpose of these forums, unless I'm mistaken...

Hey, don't assume! Check his post history before you definitively say anything about him - he might just be having a bad day.
Although, I am with you - XDA has two big problems - the people who actually are forget that google/XDA search exists (not saying that is you) and the people who think people asking questions must have an IQ below 50.
The first condition comes from people not using Internet comment sections (which I am all for, and never do) or forums (which are okay in moderation), and the second condition comes from people using comment sections or forums WAY too much.
Just look at Youtube comments. On the rare occasion I actually use that site and look at some of the comments, man... people are ridiculous when handed anonymity.
I apologize for moving so far off topic!
3rd edit:
Spastic909 is actually a cool person, fyi. I can recall numerous (though not specific) times just by looking at his avatar/name where he has helped me out.
"Mama always told me, if I ain't got nothing nice to say, then don't say nothing at all."
It's all good though, life goes on. I've seen it on XDA for a long time. It's fine. I'll just break my phone a couple times and figure it out myself. I don't post dickish remarks when I see stupid ****. I usually just laugh in my head and keep moving.

Testing it now. I was too busy cutting myself for being a lowlife and not searching every page on this entire forum for the answer :\
But now that I've half bled out, yes. You've helped me. I can't say the same for that other guy - considering he basically called me a **** for not doing specifically what you said. Whoops.
Not to start a flame war but I've seen numerous threads where it is mentioned, I had the same problem but ran into endless posts about it. Anyways not sure I saw an actual thread dedicated to it though.
Right - and you know how XDA puts "Similar posts" in the box before you post? I checked those too - and it searches everything, I saw nothing. I typed:
"Clockwork Mod 5.0.2 not working"
"Clockwork Mod Recovery 5.0.2"
All I got were threads on installing it. So... yeah, I did my thing. Anywho, going to go search a suicide thread on how to kill myself. Hopefully someone over there will guide me so I don't have to search cause I'm incredibly lazy.

The 5.0.2.0 does have many issues and I met the same problem too.
Solve it: reflash the recovery 5.0.2.0 via ROM Manager and it may fix, at least to my DZ, it works.
Just FYI, I think this is what you - and many others - are looking for. The last 10 pages or so, specifically.

i guess i am a little more forgiving. I am a noob to this forum, but not to forums in general. I ALWAYS use the search feature before posting, but i do understand that sometimes a search yields results that dont answer the questions you have. And sometimes you must read pages and pages of posts to finally find your answer. I dont know about you guys but i dont exactly have the time to read the 150 pages in some of these threads to get an answer. not bashing, not supporting people that dont at least try to use the search feature, just asking that we all try to be a little more understanding.
Google "evo4g hotspot hack" you get the unlocked sprint hotspot for sense and wifi tether for pretty much any rooted android and no reading 150 pages takes 2 seconds to find the answer and the apks

Anyways thats all done now ive just been googling how the roms work can I just put on swag rom from 2.2 rooted with s off and amonra recovery or do i need to first flash a rom for 2.3.5 then flash swag?

you can just put swag rom on what you have. As long as your s-off you can flash any rom for the evo4g. Make sure you make a backup of your wimax keys also when you make a backup in Amon ra. Also make sure you do a full wipe to lessen the chances of problems happening full wipe= everything except sdcard and battery stats
I clicked your Thanks for that you are very helpful didnt realize its as simple as not needing to upgrade to a rooted 2.3.5 and i can just have everything....

I wipe everything once or three times depending on how lazy I am as well. If I am trying to fix something by flashing then I wipe three times. If I am flashing and want to hurry and get to bed then I'll flash once. Yes, those 15 seconds I gain by flashing once instead of three times is a big deal to me. :-x

GPS Signal Broken -- Fix Found

Hello all,
Long time lurker, just wanted to share an issue I had.
I've flashed nearly every ROM that is out there since I got my SGS3 and have never had any GPS issues, however this weekend I used it without a problem but Tuesday all of a sudden turning it on and off still produced nothing...not even the increased battery drain from having GPS on.
Here's what I did in hopes that it can help someone or at least give some knowledge as there wasn't a lot out there when I searched:
1.) Restored a previous Nandroid that I knew had a working GPS --- Result = FAIL
2.) Searched XDA and Google...found a video with some USSD codes for the dialer, etc.. ---- Result = FAIL
3.) Pulled battery and sim card, etc... --- Result = FAIL
4.) Flashed Wicked as I know that is a stable and highly used ROM. Everything great but still no GPS. ---- Result = FAIL
5.) Found a suggestion about clearing cache in google framework, Maps and uninstalling Maps updates. Result = FAIL
**however Play Store wouldn't let me update Maps when I rebooted as it said it wasn't compatible with my phone. No clue why.
6.) Finally I decided to do Triangle Away and Chainfires unrooting procedure to get back to unrooted stock. ---Result = SUCCESS!
Not sure what about it made GPS come back, however the next step will of course be to root again and see if there are any issues.
Hope this helps someone who ends up in my situation. Feel free to PM if you need more details.
Thanks to all
Edit: Just as an FYI -- when I rooted again, GPS was still back and I've had no issues since.
Thanks man, I like threads like these because you never know when you may need them. Same issue for me. On CM10 ROMs,I have trouble locking onto GPS, and the fix for me has been downloading GPS test and running that before using something like navigation.it's a minor inconvenience but it works great
Overall, if you have something borked, no matter what rom you use... no matter how many times you wipe... odin back to stock, should fix it always.

True, but honestly, that doesn't always work. I have a second SGS3 Pebble Blue 32GB, and it won't play nice with Lean Kernel/Ktoonz, unless it's the touchwiz based kernels, whereas my white 16GB runs all of them flawlessly. They were rooted and booted the same way, and they both have the same GPS issue.
Out of curiosity, what's the chainfire way of going back to stock?
Also, do we have any guides here/on youtube that detail how to odin back to stock. I'm gonna give it a go on the blue one again/cross my fingers hoping I made a mistake, hence why I want a guide lol! *Searches*
thanks for the info jpk17!
saved us a lot of time here for whoever has that issue in the future.

I love this thing!
The only time my gps was ever messed up was when i used a sprint leak JB rom and had the gps turned off. Flashed a couple roms after no gps whatsoever. Odin'ed with 2 or 3 different versions and still couldnt get the gps back.
Finally I flashed another JB rom based on the sprint leak and turned GPS back on and everything started working again. Lesson learned on using sprint leaks lol.
Had op's problem myself before, and full wiping and Odin'ing back to stock actually didn't work.. what did work though was after full unroot, doing tmo ota update.
Who knows, this info could help someone out as well..

This fixed my GPS too. Triangle away and then flash stock NON ROOTED firmware and GPS will come back...NOW hopefully this fixes my weird battery life too. About to root again and shoot right back to PA android and see if it works there. Wish me luck

Ok so i finally unrooted using above steps. Still no gps. Tried GPS Toolbox, GPS Test and the google navigation. Nothing.
What Im seeing is that the little Icon in the upper status bar never shows. Like ether it doesnt even see a SAT, or the receiver in my phone isnt even turning on.
If i cant figure out, i guess ill go back to Tmo....
Thanks for the help.
What I did was go to a stock ics based Rom then triangle away and then I followed the site that op posted. The download was ridiculously slow. Took like an hour for 690mb. That should do the trick. Do it in that order

HAHA funny, i actually did it EXACTLY like that. I tried a stock ICS ROM from wildchild and nothing. Then Triangle away, ODIN flash to stock with un root and factory reset and nothing.
If i wasnt getting lock, that would be different. But im not getting the little Icon in top left corner.
I have a friend with a Stock Sprint phone and his works in same room.
Thanks
Sucks cordell... Sorry you're not getting it working.
Only thought I had if I followed you correctly is you said you went to a wildchild stock. Maybe you need to go back to the older stock from the link that worked for osmosis and I?

I went to wild child stock just before i unrooted and went to Stock Tmo form the guide above. I didnt think that would have made a difference.
Im not gonna root and go to store, so ill go to store and see what they say.
The reason i went to the wildchild stock based ICS rom was hope that I wouldnt have to unroot....
Thanks.
EDIT>>> Just did the OTA from Tmo and back .. Yes GPS back,
Thanks minigame
