Rooted an HTC droid incredible. Upon completion of root, notified of OTA. Modified build.prop to show phone was already updated. Ota notice went away. Now, hours later, the update notice came back. It also turned off WiFi, and asked for the timezone.

I have flashed to CMod 7 nightly 8 yesterday, to try out Gingerbread, and after several glitches at the start (apparently I had to restart once to get the wifi to work at all), I managed to activate the phone, and started downloading all my apps (thanks for app-brain that kept all my apps listed and ready).
At around noon yesterday, my wifi got disconnected, and it can't seem to get connected again - it just stays stuck on "Obtaining IP Address..." for a long while, before finally giving up and listing my network as "Disabled".
At first, I thought it was something wrong with the wifi in my office, but the same thing happened to me at home in the evening, and keeps on happening to me here now.
I reverted back to factory setting (deleting all my hard-installed apps), hoping it will work again, but no luck. Still can't get connected to the network. Just now I also removed the wireless security of my network completely, and it is still not working.
I switched radios between
2010-12-21 - Radio_12.35a.60.140f_26.04.03.30_M
2011-01-04 - Radio_12.28e.60.140f_26.04.02.17_M2_SF (currently on the DHD)
2011-02-25 - Radio_12.28g.60.140f_26.05.05.27_M3
and there was no difference.
I am now thinking maybe I should do a rom manager restore, to see how it works on the old (stock) rom.
Any tips from anyone here?
It's a bug in the rom. Use rc1 that works fine.

Have you updated BusyBox? I recently updated to 1.18.3 and it broke root & WiFi.
Yeah, coming to think of it, I did install busybox just before the trouble started.
Now I am back on stock rom. I must admit that I find the look and feel of the Sense UI much more pleasing than the Cyanogen's... But maybe it's just a question of getting used to it.
Ever since upgrading to the rooted, stock OTA ROM, my wifi has basically been unable to connect. I got it to connect a couple of times, but only for a very short while (possibly until I turned the phone off). Prior to this rom, it would automatically connect within a minute of arriving at one of the sites where I had wifi configured. All of the networks are properly configured--it just won't stay connected. It starts to, and then goes back to disconnected.
I have never had any problems with the wifi on this phone, with any ROM.
Is there a trick to getting it back up and running again? Is there a different kernel fo rthe new OTA that will fix it? I've searched and found others with the same problem, but haven't found a solution.
Thanks,
Dave
Please Help. I have had my Inc for about 3 months now and have tried different ROMs. Today I noticed that my phone was not connected to my Wi-Fi at work. When I try to enable Wi-Fi the only thing it says is "error." At first I thought it was mabye the ROM, restored from a back up from a different rom a couple days ago, still get error when enabling Wi-Fi.
CWM 3.0.0.8
hboot -0.92.0000
radio-2.15.00.07.28
ROMS Kingdom Stock Sense 3.0 Rls 1.1 and IncRom 1.6
Do you think my Wi-Fi is broken all together or should I try to upgrade my radio, or try some other solution?
Can your phone not connect to ANY wifi network or just this one in particular?

Will not connect to any. Wi-Fi can will not enable. Every time I try it says "Turning on..." for several seconds and then says "Error" and Wi-Fi is still unchecked. When I try to enable Wi-Fi Tether for Root is fails and instructes me to check log. The log is as follows:
Loading bcm4329.ko module (fw_bcm4329_apsta.bin from /etc/ firmware)...failed
Starting access-point...failed
Activating WiFi interface...failed
Enabling NAT rules...done
Enabling IP forwarding...done
Tethering now running...done
My laptop can not connect or see my phone to tether to it. Yes it has before.
I'd think that it sounds like a hardware issue if it was working before, but it can't hurt to try a different radio. TBH I haven't really heard of many other situations like yours, wish I could think of something...

Thank you for the help. I think I will restore it to bone stock, take it to Verizon and see what they can do. My last Inc thay would not help with but sent to PCD where these phones are refurbished for HTC, they replaced the mother board and sent it back. Took 4 weeks though.
Well just restored phone to complete stock, still no Wi-Fi. Looks like I will be visiting Verizon on my lunch.
Well after several minutes at Verizon and them determining that yes there was indeed a problem with my Dinc, they warrantied it out and sent me a new refurb. Got that one yesterday. Got the phone activated, played with it for a while. When I went to lunch I really put it to use. Watching a short 15 min video the phone got warm and rebooted. And then rebooted again. When the phone finally powered up to a workable state I let it sit and cool down. Today for me lunch I decided to get it to reboot cycle again. Yep it did, took to Verizon which is about 20 min away and the entire trip it would keep rebooting. By the time I got to the store it would only boot up to the HTC Incredible screen until I pulled the battery and tried again. Still only HTC Incredible screen. Showed the sales rep, another one on the way. This will be my 4th phone since March of this year. I love the phone but if I can't get one that works it doesn't do much good.
All right I have a few question I figured I'd ask in one thread they pertain to one another I guess.
1. (blazer rom 4.0) So last night I flashed this rom because i have not given GB a chance everything went well flashed fine......but when I booted the phone everything came up but I had no service. not a empty signal display it had the circle with the slash through it no service. under about phone it said I had no number, no prl, no nothing. after doing a shutdown and restart service would come on periodically and the it would go back to what I had just mentioned.
2. (prl and profile update) so the whole reason I flashed I flashed back was to update my prl and profile. but for some reason I can not do either. for this one i just flashed back stock el29. It would say and show that I had a 3g signal but everytime I the instant I would hit update the signal would vanish and 5 seconds later i would get (error: no connection) thried this with 3g,4g,wifi no luck.
this also happen when I was talking to a sprint rep setting my epic up, it took an hour and half to get my phone updated, no bueno.
do we have prl zips for are phone? and where, if so?
and any help with the blazer rom would be great. From the little bit I messed with it, it was a very smooth and snappy rom.

There are no prl zips that IM AWARE of. I'm pretty sure there are none! Idk try to see if sprint repair can find something wrong with it! Or you can try to flash a different modem. Sorry about your issues

also if I helped you in anyway, Lets have some manners and hit the thanks!
The blazer service issues are logged in the op forum.
So I realize this isn't on the cutting edge of development, but I come here for info from the experts, and I didn't see any info posted about this OTA push.
So I'm still running stock ROM, rooted for tethering with CWM recovery installed, and I was trying to find some feedback on this update that was pushed OTA. I see vassosman started a topic the other day, but it was quickly closed.
Let me say that I was HATING my phone because scrolling would hang the phone for minutes at random times in the day with random apps and it was maddening! Several times I had to stop myself from throwing it up against a wall.
This OTA update completely fixed it! No need to re-root it either. I love my GS2 again!
So if you were skeptical of the update (I was because one of the listed fixes was "security enhancements" which sometimes means unrooting) I can say that my experience was very positive. I'm sure I probably should have connected to Kies and installed this update long ago. Life happens. I'm behind. I'm posting for others that are behind as well.
Does the LI4 update provide even more worthy fixes? Will I have problems with CWM installed?

Nope, as you stated it mostly had security improvements, but I doubt it affected rooting methods. People have reported that the normal methods to root the old firmwares still work on this one. So overall it wouldn't harm CWM or TWRP while using it, though you have to obviously reflash it

Im on stock li4, rooted using supersu and twrp 2.4. The same old rooting methods apply, no rules changed. Happy flashing!

I figured I would just add my experience in this thread.
My wife's completely stock GS2 had OTA updated to LI4 2 days ago and last night the phone shut off while in the middle of a call and will not power back on. No odin, no recovery. Nothing. Had to warranty exchange.
It doesn't seem widespread as I have not seen this reported elsewhere, but my wife is a mild user and was only using the most basic of apps. I think she was using Google Talk and Messaging and the Phone app at the time.
