Is it flashable over the your original .3 posting? All I did was put the quick settings menu on that... I just don't want to remove everything again :-P I back up with TB faithfully, every night.
[Droid Incredible Android Development] MagnaCore:
Been wondering the same thing. I'm leaning toward a rewipe though.
[Droid Incredible Android Development] powerhouselb:
Wooo-Hooooooo!

I love this bad boy. Why can't google produce a smooth OS like this? Doesn't matter. I have this one and I love it!
[Droid Incredible Android Development] jermaine151:
Yes, you can flashover. It includes the quick settings and much more.
[Droid Incredible Android Development] rosedillinger:
Are there any steps I can skip in flashing since the roms are similar?
[Droid Incredible Android Development] jermaine151:
We should post in my thread instead if Incubus'. Yes, you can make a nandroid backup, wipe dalvik and flash the Rom.

Where can I find RLS2's md5 code to verify download?

Location warning and recticle removal zips?

Is there an existing .zip to remove the location warning message

and the recticle (location icon)? If so, could someone post the

link please.

I also wondered if there is a patch to install quick settings to the

notifications pull down? :confused:

You probably want the Stock+ ROM here: http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1260994

Cheers!
[Droid Incredible Android Development] fuzzynco:
Yes, it looks like it has the functionality baked in

I guess I need to Ti backup everything again, wipe, install, and reload

user apps+app data?

Since its the same base OS, is it safe to restore people and calendar system data?

It literally took hours to get the people data correct and cleaned up.

Or maybe better to make a .vcf (export people) and import after the flash?

Phone has the new radio, cwm recovery 5, rooted / s-off.
[Droid Incredible Android Development] keyslapper:
Yeah, I'd do the TiBu of USER apps and data ONLY. I almost never do a straight flashover, unless:

A) The dev explicitly says it's OK to upgrade from where I am to where I'm going

B) I'm too lazy to do the whole wipe/flash/setup thing.

Usually, I just do the full wipe anyway, but if I do flash over, I still wipe cache and dalvik. It will make the startup a little longer, but a lot smoother.

As far as user app data, I only pick a few I want, like 1Password, Dropbox, SugarSync, and a few others. Maybe 15 total out of around 132 apps. Trying to restore more than 10 or 12 apps at a time tends to lock things up anyway, so I'll pick 5 or 10 of my favorites, batch restore them with data, pick a few more and repeat, etc.. And I don't do them all right off the bat, I let the ROM settle down after I get the essentials in.

Never, under any circumstances that I'm aware of, should you restore system apps using TiBu after flashing a new ROM. Not worth it. Easier to just upgrade it through the market, even if you have to wait for WiFi.

I've had some really scary behaviors when restoring system data, so I never restore system data of any kind.

Seriously, just sync contacts and calendar to Google.

After the first 15 or 20 times restoring, you'll decide it's well worth the hassle, just like every other crackflasher here. The fact is, it's the one thing that separates the problematic flashes from the smooth ones.

Cheers!
[Droid Incredible Android Development] fuzzynco:
Data are purposefully not in Google

After my Inc1's contacts were corrupted by Google sync, I turned off syncing

to Google, exported to a vcf and manually cleaned up the mess of null and

completely empty contacts and reimported the file as phone contacts.

It took hours to get it cleaned up and duplicates deleted, it was a mess.

The contact storage data according to TiBu went from 19mb to 7.6mb.

Over a 1000 garbage entries were deleted.

Now I use either export for the whole phone book or Bluetooth

push a vCard by contact to my other android phone to get a .vcf of

the one contact with its imbedded contact image.

I guess I'll export the whole phone contact list to a vCard and

since there isn't a way to save the calendar except as vCalendar

entries 1 at a time, I'll have to do that :(.

I was successful TiBu restoring calendar data from the Inc1 to

my new (later GB version) HTC Flyer wi-fi so I thought it was safe :(.

It also restored to my new Rezound fine.

Thanks though

You coulda used contacts cleanup and contact analyzer 2 from the market to take care of your contacts.

multiupload.com having trouble

Is there any other way to obtain some of these Roms

I have lost my Original HTC incredible Rom and was trying to download one of These they look great. Been trying for a while seems they have Router problems in Amsterdam.

Just thought I would ask
[Droid Incredible Android Development] coffeedragon:
I second this post, multiupload seems to be down. With the FCC cracking down on these sites I'm not surprised.

Anyone wanna host a mirror?
[Droid Incredible Android Development] cmlusco:
This rom is actually out dated anyways. The latest ota is 4.08.605.2. Look for wildstangs complete stock ota rom, or use jermaines stock+ or my rom Touch of Blue, they are based of the latest ota and are also slightly tweaked to fix known issues, and add some cool features.

HTC Still updating the Incredible ...

I know this thread is more or less a ghost town, and some of my favorite ROM threads here have been out and out shuttered (locked) but my wife's unrooted DInc just got a notification for an update yesterday.

Found this on HTC.com:

http://www.htc.com/us/support/htc-droid-incredible-verizon/software-updates

Seems the new version is 4.08.605.15 710RD, with a baseband version of 2.15.10.12.20.

What are the chances someone can get that and run it through the StockPlus process? If I had any time whatsoever, and maybe half a clue how these ROMs are put together, I'd probably try to do it myself. If anyone (Jermaine?) has a set of scripts I can kick off on this, I'll try anyway.

Cheers!
[Droid Incredible Android Development] Hero:
Do you just want a rooted/flashable version of this new update?
[Droid Incredible Android Development] danielzink:
That would be great.

One that works with any GB based ROM and gets rid of the OTA nag - would be wonderful.
[Droid Incredible Android Development] Hero:
Okay I'll take a look at the update and root it when I have spare time. I don't promise that I'll maintain it (like give it updates), but I'll try to get it rooted as soon as possible.
[Droid Incredible Android Development] keyslapper:
Sure!

If I can get that, I'll try removing some of the cruft and maybe digging up some of the mods that made StockPlus what it is.

Gonna have to figure out the details, but any leg up is still a leg up!

Cheers!

[Droid Incredible Android Development] thevoiceless:
Heard about update yesterday and was worried no one would care to root it; good to know there are still people willing to help keep our old Incredibles up to date! (I'm seconding the request for a rooted/flashable of the update)
[Droid Incredible Android Development] kzoodroid:
I went to the unrevoked website and it says that even if an OTA changes the hboot it will not remove s-off from the bootloader as s-off is on a deeper level that an OTA update can't touch. Therefore if you do install the OTA all you have to do is flash a recovery image and install superuser and you should have root back. They had links to dougpistons site and I got the CWM 3.0.0.8 recovery image and put it into a PB31IMG file they had for flashing so I'm ready to test this out. Of course I will probably be one of the last to get the update on Friday but I'm ready anyways.
[Droid Incredible Android Development] frostincredible:
But if you have S-OFF you aren't completely stock, which you need to be to receive and install OTA's, which means I don't think you can get the OTA. I could be wrong though.
[Droid Incredible Android Development] :
You can still install the OTA even with S-OFF. I've ran the RUU before and it will put everything back to stock, including the stock recovery that is needed for the OTA update to install. But it will keep S-OFF. You won't have root, but that's the point of having S-OFF, you can easily flash a recovery image and get root back through a superuser flash, or a custom ROM.
[Droid Incredible Android Development] FlagAZ:
Ok you all are killing me.... Do we allow the download or wait until someone works out the root thing?
[Droid Incredible Android Development] Vernox701:
If you want root then wait. If you already have s-off your probably ok.The upgrade may affect SuperUser and thats probbly why you lose root
[Droid Incredible Android Development] frostincredible:
Oh okay. So, we could unroot using a PB31IMG.zip for the most recent OTA, get the Gingerbread OTA, still have S-OFF (if you had it before "unrooting"), flash a custom Recovery (e.g CWM, Amon Ra), flash a ZIP that gives you su in your /system/bin and then it'd be rooted Gingerbread OTA. Correct?
[Droid Incredible Android Development] tiny4579:
I sure hope so. Though I don't plan to RUU for the OTA, I hope that root isn't lost for those that will accept the OTA. It's possible they'll patch the bootloader. TeamANDIRC warned us so be careful.
[Droid Incredible Android Development] frostincredible:
I'm not going to either. Too risky. I was just clarifying. Gotta learn something new everyday:)
[Droid Incredible Android Development] :
As far as I can tell, anyone who has S-OFF should be fine.

Taken from unrevoked.com/forever
[Droid Incredible Android Development] kzoodroid:
I had done the RUU as a PB31IMG a month ago in anticipation of the update back then and I still had s-off after it installed. When the update didn't come I just ran unrevoked again and had root back. So this time I just restored the backup I had made back then and reinstalled all the stock apps I deleted. I remembered from the last OTA people had problems if they were missing stock apps like City Id, etc so I had only moved them all to a backup folder. If and when I get the update I will flash the recovery in a PB31IMG file then install superuser. Unrevoked said to just install a copy of superuser but didn't say how, I was assuming downloading it from the market but I also read somewhere to rename it update.zip and install it through recovery. Unrevoked has all the instructions under the Unrevoked Forever link on their page.
[Droid Incredible Android Development] tiny4579:
I'm mostly concerned because my friend is running a stock rooted Froyo ROM for the DINC and was curious if the OTA would unroot his device. I know the RUU would remove clockworkmod but not set S-ON but I don't know if this OTA will function differently.
[Droid Incredible Android Development] :
If they are already rooted with a custom recovery, the OTA shouldn't be able to install because it want's the stock recovery. So it may tell them that there is an update, and download it. But it shouldn't be able to install. Even if it did, when you ran unrevoked it should have set it S-OFF. Mine didn't, but I rooted before Unrevoked even came out.
[Droid Incredible Android Development] Smokeey:
yes **** yes omfg yes yes i just yelled so loud YES
[Droid Incredible Android Development] kzoodroid:
I didn't think of that but we should find out tomorrow what happens. As my phone is usually the last to get updated I tend to get impatient and will probably end up running the RUU once some here posts it anyways and never know for sure. It usually shows up about 2 hours after the OTA hits.
[Droid Incredible Android Development] watt9493:
Ive only done unrevoked. Should i do the forever? I wanna try out the OTA, not stay on it....

Please lengthen your message to at least 10 characters
[Droid Incredible Android Development] :
Boot into HBOOT and see if it says S-OFF, if it does, you're good. If not go to Unrevoked and flash Unrevoked-forever in recovery.
[Droid Incredible Android Development] Smokeey:
Should I flash back to stock just for the OTA or wait for the RUU? Last time I waited for the RUU.
[Droid Incredible Android Development] tiny4579:
My guess is a dev will package the OTA into a CWM flashable form within a day or two of receiving it and it will be stock rooted. This happened for the leak. That would be the best option IMO.
[Droid Incredible Android Development] phatguy88:
Stupid question but is this the first time with 2.3 for incredible? Like is every gingerbread rom based off code from other phones?
[Droid Incredible Android Development] tribbey:
yes sir every rom higher then 2.2 and maybe some 2.2 roms are ported from other phones to the Dinc

[Droid Incredible Android Development] thevoiceless:
Does that still apply for this OTA as well? It was last edited in November, so I'm thinking that "ro.build.fingerprint=verizon_wwe/inc/inc/inc:2.3.4/GRJ22/222219:user/release-keys" might be out of date.
[Droid Incredible Android Development] rlacrossjr:
Screw the OTA 2.3.4.. I want the new radio 2.15.10.07.07

CM7 or MIUI.US both run better then HTC sense.
[Droid Incredible Android Development] BarackMitzvah:
Hey, will we be able to try the 2.15.10.07.07 radio supposedly coming with the OTA?
[Droid Incredible Android Development] donnyp1:
Thats just personal opinion, they both have their own issues like sense does.
[Droid Incredible Android Development] FlagAZ:
Cool thank you for posting. I'm rooted and should wait for the dev.

[Droid Incredible Android Development] donnyp1:

[Droid Incredible Android Development] sec5197:
What this means for us rooted users?

So forgive me if this is a stupid question but what exactly does this mean for us rooted users already running builds of gingerbread? I am running CM7 right now, so does this mean an even more stable version of CM7 will be released once we get the kernel and such from the stock gingerbread OTA? CM7 seems to be completely stable on my Inc as it is right now...Thanks!
[Droid Incredible Android Development] renzo.olivares:
it means 720p on cm7
[Droid Incredible Android Development] sec5197:
That's what I figured...so that's pretty much the only major difference to expect to see soon?
[Droid Incredible Android Development] sucker4pa1n:
And the radio... and who knows what other random potential goodies that might be stuffed in the release and then shared throughout. As was mentioned earlier, I'm mainly intrigued by the new radio. The rest is just nice fluff. Might eventually try Sense again once the source is published.

Tapatalk Pro Sig. Yep, boring.
[Droid Incredible Android Development] z3rods:
Oh yes... this is one big thing I've been waiting for. Hopefully they can improve upon it too and do it better than HTC. :)
[Droid Incredible Android Development] DustinBooyah:
TV-Out and overclocking abilities down the road... our data issues will probably go away too.
[Droid Incredible Android Development] KidJoe:
I remember reading about past updates, and people being able to capture the file or the URL to the file on Google's servers, to share with others...

can someone re-post those steps so that if someone gets it "first", they can share?
[Droid Incredible Android Development] yopete525:
In Peter Alfonso's words (well-known OG Droid dev):

"This makes CM (and any other AOSP ROM) better because of the new proprietaries (things that can't be built from source). So this update is huge news."
[Droid Incredible Android Development] meazz1:
would this include 720p and panoramic feature?
[Droid Incredible Android Development] dirtsky:
Well this is good news. I hope someone figures out the 720p camera problems
[Droid Incredible Android Development] rlacrossjr:

[Droid Incredible Android Development] SynisterWolf:
anyone got lucky yet and were asked to update?
[Droid Incredible Android Development] nattygirl:
I loaded the stock 2.2 rom back to my phone, but I still have s-off. Do you think I'll still get prompted to update when it comes?
[Droid Incredible Android Development] asilentcivilian:
I did the same but I changed to s-on just to be certain. Haven't received a prompt yet.
[Droid Incredible Android Development] :
Just as long as you understand by putting it back to S-ON you will give up root, possibly forever, when you update it. I would keep it S-OFF to be safe. The OTA should still install just fine after the RUU. It will have stock recovery as well. But once the OTA comes, you can install a custom recovery and root it again.
[Droid Incredible Android Development] OMG_VTEC:
i havent gotten anything but i dont think i will...

a guy i work with is running unrooted stock as the day he got it and hasnt had anything yet either...

im excited to see what it is
[Droid Incredible Android Development] asilentcivilian:
Thanks for clarifying.
[Droid Incredible Android Development] zoomy942:
I'm subscribing to this thread to watch it develop.

Love my inc.
[Droid Incredible Android Development] slyswine:
How is going back to stock, S-ON going to possibly prevent ever getting root again? How is this any different from when the froyo update came out and people rooting it from that? I'm no expert on any of this so if this is a stupid question, my bad.
[Droid Incredible Android Development] jermaine151:
It's not a stupid question. Here's the reason it's not recommended. HTC has seen what Unrevoked exploited to get S-OFF and has probably patched it. This means that you won't be able to change your recovery without it being a signed zip from them. That means you won't be able to install a custom rom, add super user files, or even back your rom up anymore.
[Droid Incredible Android Development] Marcismo55:
I don't see why anyone would want to unroot just only to receive the GB update when a Dev will certainly provide a flashable version. :confused: Accepting the OTA update and risking having to wait for Unrevoked to figure out how to root seems again seems like a terrible idea.

Patience is a virtue....
[Droid Incredible Android Development] BerkleyJ:
Can they change the HBOOT through an OTA update? In other words, if we're "S-OFF" can't we just load an old PB31IMG.ZIP and be back to stock Froyo?

EDIT: Can someone just confirm that if we have used unrevoked forever (ie. S-OFF) we are safe from losing the ABILITY to root through this OTA update?
[Droid Incredible Android Development] Vernox701:

This.

Once a dev roots it, we just flash the zip and bam. updated.

When I check for updates, it just says "System is Up to Date". I don't think it was released to anyone today. I've been following several forums and no one has posted that they have received the update. I think the whole 10,000 on Tuesday, 50,000 on Wednesday... is a rumor.
