we are trying our best...im sorry for prematurely posting this up...as you can see i changed the title in hopes that someone can help

I'm total noobe and probably should hold my tongue but what of you rename to the proper pb...img.z

ip? I forget the numbers for the incredible.
[Droid Incredible General] krelvinaz:
The assert error indicates there is something on the phone configuration it doesn't like. It is not because the download file failed. that succeeded and matched the correct checksum's. Confirmed this with Unrevoked on IRC.

Just in case someone else gets this.

looks like I will use the RUU update instead. Will do it from work since I only have Win7 here.
[Droid Incredible General] schwartzman93:
i have successfully got it working under update.zip...i will post up a new thread shortly

....but can someone tell me how to delete this one?
[Droid Incredible General] Hack.Me:
Intriguing

Alright so after playing round a bit I've had some interesting luck.

After downloading the file I renamed it to update.zip, placed it within the root of my sd card and proceeded to turn the phone off.

After entering Hboot ( Volume Down + Power ) I launched recovery.

At the recovery screen the phone with a red triangle, I did Volume up + Power to bring up the recovery options and chose Apply update : sd card

It took a few minutes to load, asked me to select reboot from menu. Loaded the 2.2 splash and I now have froyo.

My question is, Couldn't this be done from clockwork as well as there is an SD update from there as well?
[Droid Incredible General] schwartzman93:
Unfortunately...im the wrong person to ask, lol...im not good when it comes to rooting
[Droid Incredible General] Hack.Me:
Reason I ask is because it could potentially save a lot of time and effort on the peoples part of having to return to stock etc.... assuming they are running the correct version and baseband pre update. But then again, the update could perhaps check to ensure the stock recovery is in place before hand. Had I not just have updated I would try it myself.

Perhaps we could find a guinea pig to try updating via clockwork...
[Droid Incredible General] stopthebus:
Yep, same thing on the RUU, long swipe will move more than 1 positions.

About the keyboard, I've been using swype for a while now, I've forgot what the keyboard looks like...hehe.
[Droid Incredible General] hls811:
Ok.. I'm driving myself nuts here trying to follow along and figure out what I need to do..

I have an unrooted DInc, the only change/modification I made was updating the the 2.x radio a few weeks back (baseband 2.05.00.06.11).. I also apparently missed the May update since I am on Build 1.36.605.0. So 2 strikes against me...

What do I do in order to clean up and get Froyo (preferably without a clean wipe, but will if I need to).

In order to go back to the 1.x radio, I need S-off? Do I need to root to do that? (I found the Wiki Site, but do I need to do ALL of that.. I never intended to root..?)

My heads going to explode from reading and trying to understand 3 levels of what I need to do.. Ugh. I'm going back to a Moto Pebl. HELP!
[Droid Incredible General] coolsax98:
Not sure what I'm doing wrong

First I want to thank ya'll for all your hard work on this.

Basically I've downloaded the update a couple times and followed the instructions but every time I select "Recovery" and hit the power button, it immediately goes the the HTC Incredible screen and then a black screen with a picture of the phone with a red triangle and exclamation.

I'm still a newb here. I've only had my phone for a couple weeks :p.

Thanks

Update: lol, I'm dumb. somehow I missed that important step. I guess I was too anxious. I will keep my newb post here.
[Droid Incredible General] noahjk:
while you're on the screen hit volume up & power at the same time. then scroll down one to sd card: update.zip and press the power button again.
[Droid Incredible General] H3Dude:
i used to love Swype in the portrait postition, but hated it in landscape. If I could select Swype for one and regular keyboard for the other, I would have kept using it.
[Droid Incredible General] bocondo:
I am in Canada and roaming... I have been using Wi-fi for my data needs, this update download is great! I downloaded it and updated my phone... worked like a charm.. but now my internet through wi-fi is not working... it shows I am connected with full signal, but when I start internet, it doesn;t connect. Anyone seen this kind of problem? how to fix this?
[Droid Incredible General] aaltieri:
I have to admit, this is confusing the hades out of me. And I've cooked Wizard Roms.

So which is it, folks? Does the BASEBAND, the BUILD, or BOTH, need to read 2.1 1.22.605.2 for the OTA to fire?

My BUILD is 1.22.605.2 CL161494 release-keys

My BASEBAND is 1.00.03.04.06

So from what I've read, my fone won't get the OTA. Is that correct?

Thanks!

[Droid Incredible General] dmwalking:
I decided to be that guinea pig and now I think the phone is stuck in a loop. It applied the update, I got the "Congratulations!" message and all that, but now whenever it gets to the main screen, it just sits there with a spinning "Loading..." screen. Eventually the system comes up and says that "system is not responding" and gives me the force close/wait options. Either one ends up just rebooting the phone and putting it through the same cycle.

Any ideas on what to do from here?
[Droid Incredible General] MrNavey:
So, I had the software version and stuff and I did the update. Now it is at a white screen with HTC logo and is constantly updating with 0-100%, this is the 3rd time it has done this now. Is this normal or am I stuck in a loop?
[Droid Incredible General] Soufboy:
Thanks for the reply stopthebus and H3Dude,

So I researched the s-off tool from the unrevoked website as well as ClockworkMod and other instructions and this is what I have so far as the way to update and root my phone as far as instructions go (remember I'm at 2.1 update 1 rooted). Please tell me if the instruction below seem correct (I have rooted my phone before but this is the first time I'm using the S-off tool and manually installing clockworkMod instead of using the automatic unrevoked 3 re-flashing method...so I wanna make sure I'm on the right path).

1. Install unrevoked forever S-off on my phone since I'm already rooted.

2. Downgrade my phone back to stock unrooted Android ver 2.1

3. Install this OTA update which will upgrade my phone to Android ver 2.2

4. Download the ClockworkMod recovery for Incredible and place that file – with that exact file name! – on the root of my SD card.

5. Reboot my device into HBOOT by removing the battery, pressing VOLUME DOWN, inserting the battery, and pressing POWER.

6. When prompted Do you want to start update?, press VOLUME UP for Yes. When prompted again Do you want to reboot device?, press VOLUME UP for Yes.

My phone now will have a custom recovery.

7. To restore superuser access to my phone, I can apply any appropriate update.zip; such as the superuser app found at this link

. I can do this by downloading the zip file for the superuser app, renaming it to "update.zip", then reboot and go into clockworkMod and choose the option "Install zip from sd card", and finally applying the update.
[Droid Incredible General] schwartzman93:
Yes you will, if you look at the OP, i have updated it...i understand now what i typed wrong
[Droid Incredible General] bhiller:
Question

I downloaded the update file and loaded it on the sd card. I also made sure that I had the right file for the system. I got all the way to installing it and it gave me this message:

[Droid Incredible General] lamusician:
Hey guys,

I have an S-off rooted Dinc with the OTA from 8/1.

Android version 2.2

Baseband - 2.05.00.06.11

Software - 6.16.605.0 CL203589 release-leys

I've been seeing a lot of folks go from 2.1 stock to 2.2 using this update.zip, but will this not work on the version I have? Is there an alternate update.zip file, or should I just wait until Verizon pushes out the OTA to my phone?

Last thing I want to do is a full wipe.

Thanks in advance.
[Droid Incredible General] stopthebus:
Yep, make sure #4 filename is PB31IMG.zip

Then put the following two files in the root of SD and "apply zip file...."from clockworkmod.

[Droid Incredible General] schwartzman93:
Its seems a few others are having this issue..check the following information

-Build/Software number...it should be 1.22.605.2

-Check Baseband...it should be 1.00.03.04.06

-Check to make sure it is on the Root of your SD card and not your phone

-check that after you move it that it remains named update.zip...NOT update.zip.zip or any other things...just update.zip

if it does rename it, just unmount your phone and rename the zip in astro file manger, to update...dont put .zip

Those are the issues people have been reporting...i will dig a little deeper if you are still having problems
[Droid Incredible General] H3Dude:
all that looks right to me, just let me clarify a couple points for my understanding.

For step 2, use the May update, the 1.22.605.2 Build, if not then you will have to apply the May patch..

For Step 4, you have to name the file PB31IMG.zip

For step 7, I just use the files included in the Unrevolked page, su-2.3.4-ef-signed, payload_update and su-2.3.4-ef-signed. Both I loaded through Bootloader recovery, "Apply zip from SD card" (not those exat words... but close.

Then you need Busy box too( from Market) and I use ROM Manager.
[Droid Incredible General] H3Dude:
Just the Build, you look like you should be fine.
[Droid Incredible General] jim1021:
schwartzman93. Thanks for your work on this and other updates. It is greatly appreciated.
[Droid Incredible General] bsilvertab:
I have been looking through these forms and am getting very mixed info... I had stock 2.1 with the update, and it was rooted with Unrevoked. (s-ON). Applied Update.zip 2.2, and now my phone is useless. It boots into Sense, but hangs because it is trying to fire up the radio, and it can't. Eventually it just reboots itself (after about 8-10 min). How do I get this fixed?
[Droid Incredible General] maurlife:
Hi King Speedy and H3Dude,

Where are you geographically (roughly)? I am in NYC, (US) and a little obsessed about whether I am going to get this update.

I am rooted, and S-OFF, (Thanks to the wonderful guys at Unrevoked!) I had a little trouble going back to stock 2.1 image, due to a problem with the format on my sd card being FAT, and not FAT32, but I fixed that, and it seemed to work. So now I keep checking my phone for the update message, but so far, nothing. :(
[Droid Incredible General] schwartzman93:
Your welcome, haha...im trying my best:rolleyes:
[Droid Incredible General] schwartzman93:
Once someone can completely figure out doing to update with Root, please give me the instructions so i can post a new thread
[Droid Incredible General] lamusician:
Yes please! I am sure I am not the only one who with the leaked 8/1 OTA installed that is waiting to install the final update.zip!

Thanks in advance!
[Droid Incredible General] H3Dude:
I am in Maryland, but I did the update manually with the OTA update. Not sure why you asked for location.
[Droid Incredible General] SkyeHack:

[Droid Incredible General] H3Dude:
I am definately not the expert here, but if it were my phone, I would take the SD card out, put the 2.1 update ROM on it named update.zip and boot into recovery and apply the update. I am not sure if you could load onto your card via your phone otherwise and also not sure if you can do that with S-on. I was under the impression you could not upgrade a rooted phone and so maybe that is the problem. You could also just put the 2.X radio flash on there as a PB31IMG.zip file and load via bootloader, but I would want to clean the whole system of flashing 2.2 on a rooted phone, myself to start fresh.
[Droid Incredible General] wedgemoose:
sorry to bother you guys. I just have a couple questions.

what will happen when we get the real OTA? will it just skip us?

and does this prevent anything in the future (getting more updates)???

and is this 100% the same as the OTA. If so I'm not waiting any more. but i just have to make sure about my questions

i am 100% stock.......I have all the correct build numbers and Radio number

thanks in advance
[Droid Incredible General] schwartzman93:
I provided a link in the OP to get back to stock android 2.1...its at the bottom
[Droid Incredible General] schwartzman93:
At this moment in time, we arent sure about future updates, hence the term future...but most likely you will

also this is 100% the same as the OTA :)
[Droid Incredible General] H3Dude:
Go to the link Schwartz provided, but;

You will need to root for s-off. But you do not need s-off to restore your radio, just root, I am almost positive of that. Not 100% because I am s-off. Or you can probably restore back to stock without root by just applying the RUU for May from shipped roms, but this will cause you to you will lose your data this way though.
[Droid Incredible General] maurlife:
Thanks H3Dude,

I had some vague idea the OTA update was being pushed out geographically, to minimize the load on the 3G network, but now I realize it's probably a more random distribution, especially around heavily congested areas like NYC. (Not always the sharpest tool in the shed.)

What did you mean by "did the update manually with the OTA update?" I know when it gets pushed out to you, you have to accept it manually, but once you do, the process is automatic. Is that what you meant?
[Droid Incredible General] jdmba:
7/23 Leak

This ROM is dated 7/23 ... back to the first leak. That's why the version is earlier than those with the OTA.
[Droid Incredible General] schwartzman93:
What ROM?...are you talking about the file i posted, because thats impossible...this was just pulled last night
[Droid Incredible General] Rook1969:
I am in the same situation. Please let me know how this works for you.

I'm glad I saw your post, as I was just about to download the file, rename it to update.zip and apply it via the recovery mode. Which now I fear might have made me lose root.

Your steps look a bit more involved, but if it works, I'll be following them exactly.

Thanks.

thanks a lot. But i can't wait any longer (this is killing me). but i don't want to ruin my future OTA's(if there are any). i guess people would come with a way to force those on also, right????

[Droid Incredible General] brianhenny:
Thanks, i'll try that
[Droid Incredible General] schwartzman93:
if it is, just rename it to update...not update.zip...because then the file will read as update.zip.zip
[Droid Incredible General] brianhenny:
On my mac, it's just a folder thats called "update" so i added .zip to it. I tried both and I got that error both times

hope this helps. i downloaded the file on the comp and renamed it update.zip then transfer to my phone. did the reboot and no luck. so i download astro file and saw the froyo file and it said update.zip.zip so i just renamed it again using astro file. update.zip and boom froyo love!

I'm in the same boat as a lot of you (stock 2.1 1.22.605.2, baseband 1.00.03.04.06) and rooted with Unrevoked and ClockworkMod recovery. However, one thing that I haven't seen mentioned: I also am running the Hydra kernel (2.6.29-hydra-uv-non-v02). I know that I have to revert to stock recovery, but do I also have to revert to the stock kernel?

[Droid Incredible General] jmyaer:
Work awesome for me

My co-worker got the OTA this morning (Minot, ND, 8AM) and installed it while I downloaded the update.zip (the 1st link w/ the directions) and followed the instructions and it worked perfectly, I then compared the software info screens of his DINC to my DINC and they matched perfect. Phone was not wiped a few minor issues with ringtones and swype beta but fixed them easy. So for me I have to say it's the real deal and it works, oh also my DINC was stock I had not done any mods to it at all.
[Droid Incredible General] answerman:
That didn't answer my question though. I'm already at stock 2.1 with the correct baseband, etc., just rooted.

What I was asking was: in addition to going back to stock recovery, do I also need to revert to the stock kernel in order to run the update? I see from the screenshots that a new kernel (2.6.32.15) installs as part of the update. I've got a Nandroid backup of the stock kernel if needed.

No one else seems to have asked this, unless I'm missing something.
[Droid Incredible General] MrDanger:
I stayed rooted and did not take this route to get the 2.2 froyo (there are about 3 roms in the dev section that has this update in there rom plus more)

BUT I'm pretty sure you need to be bare bone stock. (Excluding S-Off.. that does not change things)

If you already have the kernel that the update.zip contains... it will fail.
[Droid Incredible General] schwartzman93:
I would recommend trying it...im inexperienced with rooting, so im the wrong person to ask, sorry...hopefully someone else on here can help you with that unless you figure it out on your own
