From what I have taken from, well maybe 30 pages...lost count; is Yes. Reason is because we must downgrade to update Radio then reroot. If you are not rooted and apply the official OTA then you will not lose everything, same if you apply with root; however, you may not be able to gain root again (Someone brave enough to try will have to report). Please correct or add to this if I am incorrect.
[Droid Incredible Android Development] Inverted2:
Gratz on the leak :D Thanks for the tutorial.
[Droid Incredible Android Development] coolkatz321:
So...I applied the original leaked OTA update and it keeps getting stuck on the new Droid boot screen. Any idea why that's happening?
[Droid Incredible Android Development] stigmato:
Can confirm. I removed the following apk with no problems:

com.htc.FMRadioWidget.apk

com.htc.FriendStreamWidget.apk

com.htc.MusicWidget.apk

com.htc.NewsReaderWidget.apk

com.htc.TwitterWidget.apk

com.htc.WeatherWidget.apk

HtcAddProgramWidget.apk

htcbookmarkwidget.apk

HtcCalculatorWidget.apk

htccalendarwidgets.apk

HtcClockWidget.apk

htccontactwidgets.apk

HtcLockScreen.apk

htcmailwidgets.apk

htcmsgwidgets.apk

HtcPhotoWidget.apk

HtcProfilesWidget.apk

HtcRingtoneWidget.apk

htcsettingwidgets.apk

HtcSyncwidget.apk

Rosie.apk

WidgetDownloadManager.apk

WifiRouter.apk

PDFViewer.apk

HtcMusic.apk

Basically I took the list of what the Sky Raider Desensitize script does and did it manually. I did leave some things as I prefer some Sense applications. So far I see no ill effects from removing any of those applications.

Edit: Also removed those VZW apps.
[Droid Incredible Android Development] sleeper42:
oopsie

So, I thought I did everything right. What I did:

- using ROM Manager I installed dinc_ota.zip

- When it rebooted it had the new DROID animation (this implied to me that the radio update worked).

- re-rooted using unrevoked.

- installed ROM Manager again and installed this 2.2 ROM.

Now I realized that my baseband is still the old one. Do I need to start all over again, or do I rename that dinc_ota.zip to update.zip and install that?

any help would be appreciated. thanks
[Droid Incredible Android Development] dnoyeb:
Big thanks to those who leaked it. Glad I didn't go ahead and install sky raider today like the other guys in the office.

Question on performance though... from what I'm reading the numbers don't seem to be as fast as cm6 or sky raider 1.9b. Not that I put much weight in artificial benchmarks... does anyone else see that?
[Droid Incredible Android Development] jermaine151:
Did removing the friendstream widget break syncing your phone/gmail contacts with facebook?
[Droid Incredible Android Development] scuccia:
ClockworkMod cannot update the radio currently. That's why you have to flash PB13IMG.zip, which is the same as RUUing back to stock.
[Droid Incredible Android Development] SR3TLAW:
Titanium Backup

With Titianium Backup when I goto restore my apps and data I have to go thru and click install thru each app. Is their away around this.

Also, This really is froyo? it looks nothing like I thought it would, lock screen, sense and keyboard style all stay the same?
[Droid Incredible Android Development] sleeper42:
Thanks.. I'll start from scratch! So far the ROM is awesome... I'm just having the same issue as others with the camcorder crashing. At least now I know what to do and (hopefully) not screw up my phone. :)

Thanks to everyone on here for their help. Great community.
[Droid Incredible Android Development] exigent:
For some reason when I reboot with vol-down, I get to the menu but PB31IMG.zip is not loaded. If I try to run it in recovery with "install from sdcard", it says it's unable to load it because it's bad... Does anyone know why this is?
[Droid Incredible Android Development] silverramsrt:
Donate!!!!
[Droid Incredible Android Development] civicsisedan:
You have to pay and it will do it without you having to press a bunch of times..
[Droid Incredible Android Development] enkrypt3d:
Ok i tried to upgrade my radio and PB31IMG.zip file on the root of the SD card and booting into HBOOT... it doesn't find the PB31IMG.zip file no matter what I do... any ideas? My phone is rooted and it already has the 2.2 version ROM from the OP..... thanks

also now I'm unable to get any data on the phone....... 3g does not work even after a reboot..... trying to do a restore from the nandroid menu..... wish me luck
[Droid Incredible Android Development] jmariconda:
ty so much for posting this exactly what i needed to root my phone :D
[Droid Incredible Android Development] scuccia:
PB13IMG.zip can ONLY be installed via hboot. Make sure its named correct and that its in the root of your SDCARD.
[Droid Incredible Android Development] jetsaredim:
I knew I shoulda waited to root, just did it the other day and now making this much more complicated than it should be...

I think I'm missing something. I put the PB31IMG.zip on my SDCARD, but in the bootloader its getting errors saying "no image found" or something to that affect - hard to read since it's flying by quickly.
[Droid Incredible Android Development] jermaine151:
Thanks for the OP Scuccia!! Awesome find! :D
[Droid Incredible Android Development] htc_woe_is_me:
Maybe you didn't understand my question or it's possible that I am not understanding your answer.

If and when HTC releases the official update to us by OTA, will that cause us to lose all data and apps the same way this will?

I know that everything will be lost if I install the leaked one because I have to downgrade and system wipe, but if HTC knows what they are doing hopefully this doesn't happen when they push the OTA to us.

I was all downgraded and ready to install the leaked OTA, but had a change of heart due to losing everything only a week ago and just got my phone back to how I like it. Re-rooted and nand restored back to the way it was for now.
[Droid Incredible Android Development] SR3TLAW:
Thanks, what about the froyo look? It seems nearly the same.
[Droid Incredible Android Development] s197:
You do realize that you have to upgrade the radio BEFORE you apply the 2.2 right?
[Droid Incredible Android Development] lamusician:
THANK YOU!!!!

Had it rooted.

Unrooted using PB31IMG.zip (make sure your sd storage card is FAT32, otherwise it won't work)

used the dinc_ota and it rocks!!!

everything is working.
[Droid Incredible Android Development] SR3TLAW:
Whatta think of the look. Seems identical to what was on 2.1
[Droid Incredible Android Development] PaulG1488:
Your sd card needs to be in fat 32 format for it to be read
[Droid Incredible Android Development] stigmato:
Nope. I left the actual Friendstream app installed, just removed the Rosie widget since I won't be using it (LauncherPro is my default choice.)

As a side note, it looks like HTC fixed their Facebook sync today finally as all my contacts are actually synchronizing again.
[Droid Incredible Android Development] exigent:
I fixed this by reformatting my sdcard as fat32 and rebooting!
[Droid Incredible Android Development] Joelist:
Is there a step by step on how to do this starting with unrooted 2.1 with Sense? There seem to be a lot of instructions scattered about but nothing typing them together.
[Droid Incredible Android Development] sprintrjm:
re

liking 2.2 so far.

Alot of little things have been changed.

Emails are slightly diff..

It was cool to see an embedded flash video.

Using the optical mouse to nav the home screens is now super smooth / no lag.

im sure ill find more things as the minutes go by.
[Droid Incredible Android Development] bnaert:
Edit: Sorry, misinformation!
[Droid Incredible Android Development] jetsaredim:
So, wipe the entire SD card? Isn't that what the phone uses anyway? I thought the default filesystem on an SD card was fat32...
[Droid Incredible Android Development] Studmf:
No

Issue is if you go that route they may have patched the official OTA and you would no longer be able to obtain root.
[Droid Incredible Android Development] alvintimothyjr:
baseband

why cant I just flash the radio...is there anyway? I'm already rooted.
[Droid Incredible Android Development] enkrypt3d:
I realize this now..... the phone wont boot now arrrrrrg...... trying to recover it somehow.
[Droid Incredible Android Development] Studmf:
Try out the OP
[Droid Incredible Android Development] lamusician:
Yeah - only difference is it's the firmware version says 2.1-firmware1 instead of 2.2.

Just rooted again using unrevoked.

Will give this froyo stock a taste. My friend has a virgin Dinc. I'll compare mine to his when the OTA comes out. If there are differences, I'll go downgrade and get the update from vzw.
[Droid Incredible Android Development] SR3TLAW:
How do you go about removing apk's like verizon tehter city id etc..

also,

i like launcher pro better than sense, and hate the slide down to unlock screen, how can i get the other one with the two bars, i thought this came with froyo??
[Droid Incredible Android Development] silverxbv2:
Where did this rom come from? I understand it is a leak, but how did root get in here? I was not aware of a leak for the INC, not that I am an authority on anything Android:o, But I'm in the forums quite a bit. And if root is cooked in this, does that mean root will be cooked into the OFFICIAL release, assuming this and the official are the same?
[Droid Incredible Android Development] Studmf:
I am wondering this as well, I believe custom recovery has to support this; which clockwork does not. Is there a way using temp nand unlock?
[Droid Incredible Android Development] enkrypt3d:
What about for those of us who already upgraded to 2.2 (from the OP) how do we unroot / downgrade? I tried the PB31IMG.zip file and its not working...:o
[Droid Incredible Android Development] mb02:
I /chuckled at this.
[Droid Incredible Android Development] lamusician:
One of the many reasons why I love the Incredible is it has 8 GB of internal storage. You can easily copy over all of your files from what I am guessing is a 2GB card on your phone, format the card, and then copy the files back.
[Droid Incredible Android Development] htc_woe_is_me:
This sounds lame I know... I have been addicted to this game on the phone and after I pushed Skyraider I lost all of my progress on it. Once I did a nand restore it all came back though. Will pushing this OTA & Froyo cause that to happen again or was it something directly caused by the Skyraider ROM? Does anyone know? Has anyone else had game scores saved before you installed the new Radio and Froyo? Are they still there?

I told you it was lame but I an addict now
[Droid Incredible Android Development] enkrypt3d:
thanks for your help... :rolleyes:

Once again how do we upgrade the radio once on 2.2?
[Droid Incredible Android Development] MrMakeIt:
I got everything to work! Unrooted my Incredible, installed new radio, rooted, flashed ROM from SD with ROM Manager, and now I have Froyo working like a charm! Thanks so much devs!

My only criticism/critique is that the keyboard no longer has the button in the bottom left corner to quickly hide the keyboard, which I found to be quite useful. Where did that go? Is there a keyboard I can download from the Market to correct the issue?
[Droid Incredible Android Development] Studmf:
I believe so, just do a Titanium backup App and data
[Droid Incredible Android Development] enkrypt3d:
Can you tell me which method u used to unroot and reinstall? was it using the above link?
[Droid Incredible Android Development] htc_woe_is_me:
omg how many times do you see the same question over and over?

Im a noob and i got it from the first post.
[Droid Incredible Android Development] lamusician:
I've actually become quite fond of the Swiftkey keyboard. It memorizes my phrasing by scanning my SMS messages (pretty freaky) and the autocomplete is insane.
[Droid Incredible Android Development] jermaine151:
The back arrow button does that function now.
[Droid Incredible Android Development] mrozzeh:
Bah, beaten to the punch, good show ol' bean.
[Droid Incredible Android Development] SuperFly03:
I am having serious issues trying to unroot my phone. I've reverted to stock kernel. I've attempted to apply the PB31 file and each time it errors out saying it isn't a valid image. I've download the file from 3 or 4 places and each time it gives me the same error.

I rooted my DINC less than a week ago. No custom ROM's only the Hydra kernel which I reverted back to stock.
[Droid Incredible Android Development] MrMakeIt:
The file was the PB31IMG file, which I downloaded from one of the Mediafire links. Just drop it only your SD card, reboot phone into recover, and install it. The phone will do most of the work!
[Droid Incredible Android Development] spartan141:

Not recovery, hboot. I'm sure it was just a typo but I wanted to clarify.
[Droid Incredible Android Development] scuccia:
MyBackupPro can do this. It doesn't work with 3rd party widgets however.

[Droid Incredible Android Development] enkrypt3d:
Dude seriously? I have read all that **** and tried all of it and it's not working... and I'm far from a noob. I loaded 2.2 from skyraider yesterday and then I wiped and applied this before the first post was modified saying that the 2.x radio was a requirement........ all the unrooting methods I've tried do not work including PB31IMG.zip!
[Droid Incredible Android Development] gbenj:
anyone using this yet?

Anything of note in here other than what we knew was coming? Aesthetic changes to sense, new htc widgets or apps?
[Droid Incredible Android Development] whiplash000:
I'm gonna wait this one out 'till more people confirm that it's legit.
[Droid Incredible Android Development] g00s3y:

[Droid Incredible Android Development] gbenj:

[Droid Incredible Android Development] pacedrum69:

[Droid Incredible Android Development] dawynkoop:
What are the chances we can load this ROM into dsixda's kitchen and cook it with the 2.2 radio and then flash via recovery?
[Droid Incredible Android Development] mrozzeh:
It has my blessing, enough with the asking if it's legit or not.
[Droid Incredible Android Development] whiplash000:
Well... as long as I can still downgrade to stock using that method someone posted, I guess I'll try it out
[Droid Incredible Android Development] Shadowmite:
about the same odd's as your chance of having s_off bootloader. Heck, I'd say there is a 100% correlation there... Just saying. :P
[Droid Incredible Android Development] g00s3y:
ok well it installed, i can confirm that it all works, camera, gps, camcorder... In the process of setting it up and getting ShootMe on there so i can put up some screens for you guys.
[Droid Incredible Android Development] scuccia:
There are quite a few new additions. HTC Flashlight, FM Radio widget, Calculator widget, SMS widget, Sync all widget, profile widgets, 3g mobile hotspot, genie widget, App sharing program, messaging app changed a bit, 720p recording, built in flash on camcorder, and more stuff that I can't think of off the top of my head.
[Droid Incredible Android Development] cortland1998:
Uhh.. for reals? I'm going to poop my pants I'm soo happy.
[Droid Incredible Android Development] gbenj:
Very nice, gonna flash this when I get a chance.

Im just majorly confused about how I get from where I am now to flash this.

Currently I'm running Rooted original stock, with the Stock speed undervolted kernels flashed in addition.

Would someone be kind enough to let me know the quickest way I can get back up and running closest to my current configuration? (My apps and settings reinstalled) I have titanium backup but havent needed to use it yet so dont wanna restore too much and have messed up settings.

I'd really appreciate it.
[Droid Incredible Android Development] g00s3y:
Couple pics of the system, if you guys want anything else let me know and i will get it for you. I can say this looks to be offical, everything is there including the new bootup animation, 720P, and all the other goodies, plus some more...

Sorry for the size guys, forgot to resize... oopsie..
[Droid Incredible Android Development] cortland1998:
I'm where you are... I am going to install now. I will post how I did it in a few.
[Droid Incredible Android Development] trunklips:
Can you run Quadrant and tell us your score?
[Droid Incredible Android Development] g00s3y:
if you have installed the original leaked OTA, you can just flash this from recovery, don't forget to do a full wipe tho. If not you much first flash the leaked OTA then flash this one...
[Droid Incredible Android Development] jasonb1985:
What kind of Linpack scores is this getting? Does WiFi tether work, and in AP mode?

You can temp unlock your nand and then delete the apps from system/apps using root explorer.

op just hosted a new file on the first page try that one and see if it worked. the other ones that were posted seem to be corrupted in someway
[Droid Incredible Android Development] jetsaredim:
I think I just realized my problem...

I think I royally messed up my phone big time. I accidentally formatted the phone storage not the sd card to apply this. I had backed up the data on the drive beforehand, but after restoring something's still not right.

On the positive, it seems like I'm able to get the PB31IMG to work now that I have it on the right drive. Will this fix the storage issue with the main drive? I tried things like just making a call via google voice and it doesn't seem to work. I'll try again, but I'm thinking I really screwed myself.
[Droid Incredible Android Development] rbtmarshall:
If you have your connection type set as 'Disk Drive' you wont be able to see the sd card from Astro. Set it back to 'charge only'
[Droid Incredible Android Development] SuperFly03:
HHHHHHHHHHHHHHAHAHAHAHAHAHA.

Figured it out. My SD Card was FAT not FAT32. I formated and reloaded all the data and PB31 was recognized on the first try. Ok... here we go again.
[Droid Incredible Android Development] bman12479:
I am trying to downgrade from my root but am having problems. Once you download the file how do you move it to the root of your sd card?? what folder is that suppose to be. I am on Windows XP. Thanks

It has always stated that the 2.x radio was a requirement. I just didn't have instructions on updating to the 2.x radio.
[Droid Incredible Android Development] iowabowtech:
For those having problems installing the leaked OTA and getting the file not found error or however it's worded, don't make the noob mistake of renaming the file to "update.zip". Just name it "update", the .zip is inferred because it's a zip file. I'm guessing it's being viewed as update.zip.zip when it's done that way.

I just had a major league brainfart and did that and received the error...and I know better. Renamed to Update and of course it worked a lil better. :D
[Droid Incredible Android Development] gbenj:
My comp is set up to show file extensions just so i dont make that mistake. Has been that way since I started flashing TITAIMG back on my XV6800
[Droid Incredible Android Development] shoman24v:
If someone can help me that would be great. I DLed all the files, copied PB31IMG to the root of my phone and when HBOOT runs it says wrong image. I haven't applied any of the leaked OTAs and my HBOOT version is .79. Do I need to downgrade to .77?

What's the deal?
[Droid Incredible Android Development] gadget!:
Not sure what kind of numbers they are pulling but I don't see anything wrong with this.

[Droid Incredible Android Development] lentm:
noooo. if you already installed leaked OTA, then you should install the leaked ROM not PB31IMG.zip.
[Droid Incredible Android Development] enkrypt3d:

after you plug in your phone via USB, you need to set the USB connection type on the phone to "Disk Drive". then on your computer click on the drive for the phones SD card. The root folder is the base of what ever drive the SD card is,you will see many folders and files on that drive. place the file in there not in any folder
