I'm not in a rush to hack my Droid Incredible right now, but want to keep the possibility open for after the official 2.2 comes out, so it seems the recommendation is to install Unrevoked Forever since we don't know if the Dinc will still be rootable after the update (I actually believe it will be eventually, but no guarantees). I am NOT planning to install a custom ROM right now, my entire goal is to have S-OFF and then go back to stock enough to catch the official OTA when it comes.
I've been reading the instructions (and the warnings) and just wanted to make sure I've got the idea before I do anything. Can anyone point out any flaws in the steps below:
1. I downloaded the HTC_Incredible_Downgrade.zip from xda forums which I believe has the stock recovery PB31IMG.zip (146,445,757 bytes).
2. Install unrevoked3 to root the phone.
3. Download unrevoked-forever.zip. Install it with the custom recovery that unrevoked3 installed.
4. reboot and see the S-OFF setting
5. Then use the custom recovery to install the stock PB31IMG.zip from step 1.
So before I do this I want to make sure:
* Will I then be back to stock in every way except that S-OFF is set?
* Will any of this procedure wipe my phone clean so I lose installed apps and data?
* Am I then ready to catch the stock OTA install of Froyo when it comes out?
I suspect a bunch of people are thinking of doing this right now.
Thanks in advance
Steve
Welp
Remember that step 2 is far more involved; you need the special HBOOT drivers, and no HTC Sync.
I believe the 3 stars are:
* Yes
* No (since Step 5 is just flashing the original recovery)
* Yes
Which step do you expect to wipe my phone? I wouldn't have expected the rooting part to wipe it since I'm not talking about installing a custom ROM. I was more worried about the recovery to stock to wipe it.
Whoops
Whoops ... misread your step 5. No, you should be fine.
you dont really need to flash the entire stock rom just the recovery it can be found at http://adrynalyne.us/ here is a direct link http://adrynalyne.us/files/recovery/stock/PB31IMG.zip
Edit: in your step 5 you will need to use hboot to install a stock recovery
ps the stock recovery only is like 3.3mb the one you have is 140mb and will wipe your phone.
Uhm, you can't flash one part of the PB31IMG.zip, so if it's 146MB, it's most likely a system image with wiping data and cache, so yes, it will wipe your phone. You can find a stock recovery only PB31IMG.zip somewhere on the forums here. Search around.
I'm currently rooted with unrevoked3 and unrevoked forever. I have yet to mess with my radio or flash any roms. So to be eligible to get the over the air update I need to just flash that stock recovery zip?

oops. lol. delete.
OK, unrevoked3 and forever both installed now (everything went VERY smoothly), haven't done the recovery to stock yet.
So I notice that I've got the Superuser Permissions app installed now. Do I need to unroot before I can do an OTA update to Froyo, or can I keep root and still do the OTA? If for some reason I wanted to give up root at some point what would be the minimum I need to do?
Do I lose root when I reinstall the stock recovery to allow the OTA?
Steve
Are there any docs or usage info about the Superuser Permissions app that unrevoked3 installs? I'm not sure what to do with it.
Steve
What I don't get is the part about regaining superuser access with an update.zip after receiving the OTA. Where can I find said file? I've searched and googled and can't find it.

I have rooted, s-off-ed, removed some apps, and got the stock recovery from adrenalyne and reflashed that back. now when i try to go to recovery, i come to just a phone symbol with a red exclamation mark and the only way to reboot is to pop the battery out. is that what stock recovery looks like? or have i boofed the process at some point?

Yep, that's stock recovery. You need to load clockwork recovery, I think that's how you fix it. Someone please correct me if I'm wrong.

ok thanks. well i want to leave it at stock until after the OTA comes out. then i will put any custom recovery if i feel the need to.
also, titanium downloaded busybox, what is busybox and how does it affect my ability to apply an OTA?

At the stock recovery you press vol up and power and you get a menu you where its possible to reboot, install undate.zip...ect...
From what I hear you only need the stock recovery and the stock build to get and install the official ota.
If your rooted that should be fine the ota will likely remove root but who cares with s-off!

Ok so lets see if I did this correctly. Im rooted with unrevoked forever. So I just Downloaded the pb31mg file and did a reboot into recovery via rom manager. I then applied an (update.zip) from the sd card which was the pb31mg.zip. I then reboooted. Is there anything I can check to make sure Im stock enough to recieve the ota?

I have an HTC EVO with software Hardware version 003, 3.29.651.5, S-OFF and HBOOT-0.97.0000. I have tried both update files I could find for 3.70.651.1:
OTA_supersonic_3.70.651.1-3.30.651.3_releasekobxwrvtv9q86pp0.zip
OTA_Supersonic_3.70.651.1-3.29.651.5_releasezq9ss6wyobuo26b5.zip
Neither works as both give errors upon applying update.zip in the recovery menu. "Error 7" and "sd install error" appear with tons of other odd text which don't really form many words. What is really odd is last time my phone was rooted and the update was released I simply did the method above like normal and everything went great. Then once it was done i re-rooted! Not this time though...
I have also tried directly downloading the update to my phone via htc update and installing but I get started and it quickly goes to a frozen yellow triangle icon which then I must pull the battery. My dilemma?
I wanted to try using the file my phone downloads from htc directly but i am unable to find the file on my phone? I have searched with astro file explorer and tried every search strong possible. I searched the SD and then tried to search the main phone memory. The phone says it stores it somewhere in the memory but doesn't say where? Does anyone know where it does? I wanted to try this and see if it will update.
I am basically looking to update and I could care less about root as I can redo it after the update. The big issue is that I want my phone to stay the way it is with no deletion of ANY DATA such as messages, apps, etc... I simply want to update and re-root like I did last time and I can't figure out why it won't let me? I don't want to have to flash a new stock ROM and lose everything or have to use a backup program to do what i did so easily last time.
The new version of unrevoked 3.3 is out so I want to update and be done. Perhaps the root is causing it and can I un-root and then re-root after the update? I hate that HTC released multiple versions of the same phone as updates become extremely tricky now and dangerous. Than You for any help you can provide.

if you are rooted then you should be using a rooted 3.70.651.1 rom to update. DO NOT do OTAs
I've seen took many people posting threads recently about trying to do the 3.70 ota and thinking they will just reroot after, they all have problems, my suggestion is to grab the radio/pri/nv/wimax update combo and flash it, then flash sprint lovers 3.70 after wiping cache and dalvik. you will still have root and all your apps with the newest software
make a backup in Ra beforehand just in case
Thanks for the quick reply's but I simply want to update like normal. If I can't get root then I can't get root but at least get me to update without overwriting my whole phone and having to make backups of EVERYTHING! Thanks...
Do this...

I don't like flashing ROMs either. This will let you update.
Do a little more digging and you will find the answers. I admit it took me a little bit to find this l when I updated.
I don't understand why my phone just won't update? I don't really want to flash but thanks for the info. Does anyone know where the EVO stores the updates it downloads? If anyone could please provide me with more info that would be great.
The reason it won't update is because you have a custom recovery. You need to flash the stock recovery to allow you to update.
If you follow the link above it will let you do what you want keeping all your data and upgrading like normal. Just need to flash the stock recovery back. This is as long as you did unrevoked forever.
The downloaded updates are stored in the phones file system under /cache. You need to be able to mount your file system as rw to be able to access. If you don't know how to do that you can find both of the OTA updates on the web and download them. Have to have the correct one for the version you are currently on. The Evo's were at two different revs for this last update.
Even if you find the OTA update and try to apply it from your custom recovery it will not work.
Dig a little more and if you cannot find them I will find the links again, didn't save 'em.
Very good post and I am wondering the same thing. I haven't tried the stock recovery image thing yet but might soon. It was very easy to install the OTA update last time and then just reinstall the recovery image and superuser app. I bet it is not working because they changed the hboot in this version. I too haven't updated yet since I don't like losing my data and potentially missing something. I will probably just say screw it in a couple of weeks once I get time though and just flash the rooted version of the update.

Just flash a rooted copy of the stock ROM and only wipe the cache and dalvik. If you leave your data intact it will save all your settings.
I've been updating this way since I rooted about a month after the phone came out.
WTF!?
Can you point me to a step by step guide xHausx? And this would keep my caller ids, apps, internet files, themes, preferences, etc?

1. Download a Rooted 3.70 Stock Rom (http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=874251)
2. Copy Downloaded rom to your SDCard
3. Reboot to Recovery
4. Wipe Cache
5. Wipe Dalvik-Cache
6. Flash the Zip you copied to your SDCard
7. Reboot
8. Done
Do Not Wipe Data, or you will lose what you are trying to keep.
I'm just curious. The 3.70.651.1 update you were trying to use. Where did you try to DL it from. I think you were using the wrong file.
If you are rooted you should have tried to use these:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=874251
For some reason teshx set that ROM up to wipe data.. you'll have to open the zip and change it.
look in it for meta-inf\com\google\android\update-script file and open that, at the top you will see it say "format DATA:". Just delete that, save, zip and flash.
Why that is set up like that I have no idea
sekigah84 I got it from Sprint via my phone. So it had to be right.
Khilbron & xHausx thanks for the info I'm going to take my nandroid backup and give this a try! I'll post back my info! Also will this update my radios, and other pertinent system files?
damn man you really like your phone stock, and i guess you dont have time to read all 9 stickys helping root people, so we'll just need to fill you in
the bottom line: flash a custom rom and you will never want to go back. NEVER OTA WITH ROOT OR YOU COULD GET SCREWED BADLY. even a stock-ish custom rom like mikfroyo is better than stock. titanium backup will backup all apk's and data. or you can just not wipe data.
flash myns.
just do it
you wont regret it
or just stick with stock.
i have a T989, rooted, Clockwork Mod, and installed some stock Android (sans bloatware) MOD.
i had updates set to automatic and am now being bugged to install the new TMobile update, which doesn't seem to be able to install with Clockwork, and i can't turn off the persistent Update prompts.
i've already bricked one GS2, and obviously fear doing it again. I wouldn't get another chance, i don't think. (i do have insurance on the phone, not sure if it would cover a rooted phone?)
what can someone tell me about the TMobile update and Clockwork, or whatever i need to do, go with the update or stop it somehow...?
thanks for your help.
Ota update requires stock recovery.
Grab one of the updated stock roms and flash via cwm. Then Odin the new baseband.

i think i have one of those stock roms - i chose one that was just 'the same thing but without some of the standard apps'. how can i check to see what rom i have...?
and what do you mean by baseband? the new update? is it already dl'd to my phone? i've searched through the phone's dirs (rooted File Explorere, i guess) and could not find anything...
sorry to be a pain - i can't brick another one, of course... (

couple of questions:
he says on the post:
"DONT FLASH - add files to the zip in the app folder, then flash. Or usb connect drag to sd the use some rooted file explorer to place in system/app then reboot."
Flash or don't Flash? I'm transferring the zip to sd now, then i need to move it to system/app...?
once i've 'flashed' what do you mean "Odin the baseband"? i have Odin, used it last time...

I flashed the ROM, now i have 2.3.6, and now i'm stuck with 2 OTA notifications, one states postponed, and choosing START for the update does nothing.
help?
I had the base load on mine with a bunch of stuff frozen and Clockwork on it (plus root)
I first unfroze all the stuff I had frozen, then ODIN'd back the stock recovery. Didn't touch anything else, then told the OTA to go ahead.
It updated just fine -- removed root of course. I then ODIN'd back the clockwork recovery and re-installed SU, then re-froze all the boatware.
Done in about 15 minutes -- no muss, no fuss, didn't lose anything.

You can probably clear this up by formatting /system in CWM. Then wiping cache and dalvik. Then flash the FL1 update. Hit advance, fix permissions and then reboot.

Hi all,
Basically, I went to install S-voice (Samsungs Siri competitor) and it worked fine. I did it the proper way by putting it in the system/app folder and then changing the permissions (rw-r-r), rebooted and then installed the apk (while in the system/app folder). I did rename the apk to svoice.apk instead of voicetalk.apk (before I put it in the system/app) but I don't think that could've changed anything.
While installing it said it was going to modify system apps, fair enough. I used it, didn't like it and went to uninstall it, but when I went to uninstall it, all it said was "Uninstall updates" I clicked this and it was then uninstalled, then it said it was returning the system apps back to stock, and then I deleted the file from the system/app folder.
From there I decided I want to just flash back to a previous recovery, but upon launching CWM, everytime I try to launch recovery it loads and then freezes with the Dead Android Symbol. I can only imagine I didn't uninstall svoice properly which modified the system apps somehow causing it to mess up my CWM? I can launch my bootloader, root is still intact, I just cannot launch recovery.
Any help would be greatly appeciated, I have my nandroid backups but I have no idea who I can flash them if I can't get into recovery.
Oh and I'm running a VZW G-Nexus with 4.0.4 (Rooted, unlocked bootloader, stock rom) I also have the latest version of CWM 5.5.0.4
Thanks
Try flashing cwm again.
The android on its back is the stock recovery.
If you used the update file to update to 4.0.4, then CWM was replaced by the stock recovery.
Every OTA update zip adds two files to your ROM that re-flash the stock recovery on EVERY boot.
You need to delete those files. They are:
/system/etc/install-recovery.sh
/system/recovery-from-boot.p
After you delete them, re-flash CWM.

Hey Efrant, Thanks for the reply, you've answered all of my questions before!
With that said, I thought I deleted, I actually think I renamed the recovery-from-boot to recovery-from-boot.bak so as to circumvent this (back when I had 4.0.2) I then installed 4.0.4 as update.zip from within CWM and then used Voodoo OTA rootkeeper. After I did this I then made a nandroid back-up from within CWM. (Or maybe I'm just confusing myself more).
Thanks for the tips, I'll look into this and then I will update accordingly.

Those files do not exist on stock ROMs. They are placed there by OTA updates. The thing is, EVERY OTA update will place those files on your system, regardless of whether you deleted them before or not. Every time you upgrade your ROM, those files will be re-placed by the update zip.

Ahhh, got it. Flashed over CWM and was able to boot into recovery and flash a nandroid back-up. Unfortunately, it was of 5.0.2 so then I had to install update.zip reflash CWM then make another back-up.

Sorry for making this topic but I have a problem that make me really sad.
The problem is,
when I go to about device/update, there is an update (45mb or something) available. I can download it with no problems.
I can install it and the phone reboots. But now the problem occurs. He is installing the update but when it reach 25% it stops, an Android with a red cross appear and the phone go to the login screen (pin code). When I'm back on my home screen a pop up displays a text that I must try with KIES or go to a Samsung centre.
But I can't use KIES because it says that my device firmware isn't compatible.
I have rooted my Galaxy Note II N7100 in the past with the FRAMAROOT one click root app and has do the following (mod) things:
- Xpose multi window mod
- installed the Nexus camera with photosphere function. (no flash)(just placed the apk and the lib in the folders manually
- Lucky patcher
- place some galaxy s4 apk like storyalbum but never overwrite existing things in system/apps
- I have downloaded freedom but I have deleted it forced stopped it and deleted data
I have unistall the xpose mod with in app options + total clean up.
I chose the Unroot option in framework.
I never installed or flashed my phone in the past. So I have the stock rom
I'm very scared of flashing my device (with PC Software) because I really won't lose any of my data.
I just want to install that update without losing data. It make me feel very sad.
I CAN download the update but if I install it, it stops at 25%
please help.

Remove all system apps that weren't there by stock. Also replace overwritten ones (if any) with factory versions. Remove Nexus camera from system apps too. Xposed shouldn't affect anything. I have no idea what Lucky Patcher or Freedom is, so can't tell if it's them.
Thanks for your reply!
Must I also delete the lib files. for example when I installed S translate I must also copy some data to the lib folder to get it works properly.
If so I have a little problem because I won't remember with file is added and wich one is stock.
And I dit also the music mod (make phone loader)
I hope this will 100% work.

And after all this, is there a way to get rid of all that odin and root stuff so I can receive new OTA updates in the future?

It's perfectly safe to flash firmware with Mobile Odin, done it multiple times. No need to wipe as long as you're going from stock rom to stock rom. Never had a bootloop myself!
And as for getting rid of root stuff, that'd include wiping your phone, sadly.
As said its 100% safe method no wipe required as long as keeping counter 0 and system normal using triangle away you will get ota update

okay, thanks to wada7o my update is finally installed, thanks
But now I have another annoying problem.
When I go to about device / update , I got an error with the text 'unable to update firmware due network or server error. Try again later or use KIES'
No I can't download the great jellybean 4.2 in the future.
How to fix this. The future jellybean update is very important for me.
And does the mobile odin thing works with this future update (Android 4.1.2 to Android 4.2.2)?

Isn't it easier just to flash new ROM with Odin?
If your device has been rooted, you can't update it via OTA or KIES. You can look for Dr.Ketan post. He got the newest updates for GNote 2.
