Rooted but can I update Android 2.2 - Droid Incredible General

Newbie question....
I followed the root droid 10min vid on youtude and got rooted. There are some things I need from 2.2 like BT voice dialing & task sync from Outlook...will I be able to update when it is released? My VZW Incredible is stock with the root but not sure if I hindered myself or not...
Advise...

When 2.2 comes out a dev will take the update and release a root 2.2 update zip. Don't worry, you will be fine.

after doing the video as a newbie I was not sure what I did all I wanted was the wifi tether...I hope to keep that function with 2.2 and get all the new features of 2.2

[ROM] 1.5 Downgrade With Root

Re-Cooked Jcase's dowgrade patch
Added Root w/ superuser
Zipaligned to speed up Ram
Cooked with dsixda's Kitchen....
works awsome...
this will downgrade your radio as well to the Shipped eris Radio
so if you want a Stock phone with root keeping ota certs so u can get the
2.1update when its pushed, all you need to do is flash the bootloader and
recovery from jcase's downgrade package.
Happy flashing.

1.5 Downgrade to Cupcake
Will this 1.5 Cupcake downgrade work on an Eris that has had the 2.1 Leak Installed?
Sorry
Ok so further reading leads me to believe this is NOT for LEAK. Sorry for the Question. Just following links looking for some CURE for the 2.1 LEAK I landed here. In the QUest for searching endlessly for a cure, I got my hopes up. Keep up the Great Work. I will wait patiently, hoping someone will find a way to fix for use that Jumped on the LEAK too soon.
To date there is no root nor downgreade for those on the leak. We are working on it.
Besides the root and such, this will run as if i just bought the phone?
worked great!

You could try FlashBack15 at the very bottom of the first post. This will unroot your phone. Then you could hope for the OTA upgrade and re-root (or is it just as easy to root from 1.5?).

The Eris Cupcake releases (1.5: 1.16.605.1 & 1.17.605.1) are susceptible to the "wag3slav3" symlink rooting exploit, so they can be rooted, for instance with the (Android Forums) "dummies" method. Jcase's "one click" rooting app for the Eris was built with Android 2.1 dependencies, so even though the rooting method works with 1.5, the rooting app does not).
I'm not sure why an MEID would ever needs to be "fixed", however. Smells kinda fishy to me.

Do not apply PART2 OTA 2.1 update - If you need root.

I would like to remind ppl, because many of you didn't think about...
If you will apply, 2.1 OTA update, on your 1.5, you will LOOSE ability to root. Don't be fools, and wait until you get "official" rooted 2.1, then flash it by yourself.
Please someone make it more clear if possible...
...But 2.1 official cannot be rooted, after update.
So turn off your Update check on your phone, and wait until there will be 2.1 rooted.
P.S
Looks like there is possibility to downgrade from OTA 2.1!! Omg
May I ask why HEOR upgraded to official 2.1 OTA couldn't be rooted??
It is temporary unable or permanently??
Can you substantiate this claim? Proof that the instantroot method (using the package installer's privileges) does not work on 2.1 for instance?
@iholleh
It's not possible to root at the moment, it could be quite a while before someone figures out how to root it if its already on a device, however if its looked at enough I'm sure they will do it. when its officially released it will be rooted very quickly to be flashed as a zip.
good to know...thanks for hte info!

The problem is you can't say one way or the other.. so if root is important to you then you are better off waiting.

Thx bro! I just upgraded to 2.1 OTA and trying to downgrade to 1.5, failed however...
Wait for good news
I think we need to make clear. What to do if.
I installed the first package (First OTA, PART 1, Youtube App update)?
Like I heard in develop, if I installed part 1 update, this stupid youtube update, i need downgrade.
I don't really understand why, and how to do that. I think many of noobs like me are interested, what to do now.
I have promted by my phone that 2.1 update is realeased, and I did not downlnoad it, because I would like to have root, to install in a future Android 2.2, etc.
If so, and i have Firmware build number 2.73.405.93, or 2.73.405.94, or 2.73.405.95. What should I do?
Please someone, write step by step action guide.
(Downgrade, root, install rooted 2.1?) If so, how exactly?
I also understand that, there is 100000000000 of guides out there, but IMHO we need new one for a while.
Situation with "not installed" OTA part 1 is little bit easier? Normal ROOT, and install for coocked, and rooted official 2.1?

I guess so, but how likely is it that the hero's 2.1 firmware is different in this regard from anything else? A quick google confirmed that the InstantRoot method works on nexus one and motorola droid.
Edit: But a little longer google had me wondering if it does work on 2.1 again. Sorry, I should check more carefully. If anyone has tried it do step up.
Check out dev. section. Looks like there is way to downgrade.

Correct, just run the RUU
can confirm, this works ...
What if I want to root it up to 2.2 (Froyo) that would be fine because it is like you are upgrading to newer firmware?
Hi i just have a stupid question :
i'm quite lost with all the stuffs about the 2.1 update :
i have a 1.5 stock rooted rom on my hero.
i would like to update to 2.1 but keep the root thing.
and i want not to wipe my phone
So what i undestand is :
- if i update : i'm not root anymore and won't be able to do it with the 2.1
- if i want to be 2.1+root i have to use a full rom (rooted) to have both but i have to wipe my phone.
Is that right ?
Is there or will it be a way to have an update (not wiping phone), in 2.1, and with root maintained from my 1.5 ??
Thanx for help.. i don't what to do with this ota update...
Ciao

I'm with 1.5 rooted phone. If i update, i will be with a 2.1 phone non rooted. But is it possible to root the 2.1 ? I already have the boot menu with ramon ra recovery. So the update won't touch it ?
But in fact i change the date to june 2011 on my phone yesterday.. and i have no update notification

[q] new aria user and confused

I just exchanged a defective captivate for the ariaand looking at some of the threads confused. Do I root now or wait for froyo??? when I have froyo will rooting give me acces to the portable wifi hot spot feature???
If you're planning on rooting at some point, then you might as well get on with it. You can have Froyo now with either CyanogenMod 6.1 or Liberated FR008. Both have the wireless hotspot feature included.
If you wait for the AT&T Froyo update, you will probably be waiting awhile, and at least for now, you are not able to gain root once you've applied the official update.

If and when HTC/AT&T release Froyo for the Aria, chances are the wifi hot spot will be disabled.
My advice would be to root now and then install either CyanogenMod 6.1 with is AOSP Froyo 2.2 or Libertated FR008 ROM (HTC Sense w/ Froyo 2.2) from the European Gratia. Both of these custom ROM have the Froyo Wifi hot spot enabled and working.
Ihave a few questions...how do i find htc sync and install it?? after getting modified froyo on does that stop att upgrade? and all modified upgrades roms manual intal?

You can download HTC Sync from here:
http://www.htc.com/us/support/aria-att/downloads/
Nobody really knows if the Liberated ROM will get a notification about the AT&T upgrade because it has not happened yet.
Yes all of the custom ROMS are manual install.
keep in mind that when ATT releases the FroYo update it will probably be unable to ROOT at first. they love to add new securities to make life interesting for us hackers
if you do get an Aria check out my Aria Superthread Guide for info about how to mod your new phone
I do own an aria
thanks for the files!! doing root now

It should tell you when it is finished.
One word of advice, unrevoked didn't work for me under windows. I think the Ubuntu LiveCD method is pretty trustworthy though.
I've used UnrEVOked to root 3 different Arias with no problems... so if you don't want to go with the Ubuntu method, go ahead and try Unrevoked.
if unrevoked were working, would I see a series of messages?? I just started it , should the mesage pushing recovery stay on for sometime? how long should it take? Im running win 7 pro 64 bit
It took me about five minutes using the ubuntu method. If it pauses at waiting to reboot, it's safe to take it out, and start it over again I believe.

[Q] Rooting an Aria with 2.2 update

Right now, my Aria is updated to the official 2.2 update ( I downloaded the update through the phone)
I want to root my phone now, so I went researching around here about the rooting process, and found this helpful guide.
However, I also read something about after updating to 2.2, I can't root my phone.
So right now I want to ask whether I can root my phone by following the steps in that guide? Or will it cause problems to my phone?

Sorry, but if you took the official Froyo 2.2 OTA, then chances are you will not be able to root your phone at this time. This update modified your HBOOT boot loader and the root exploit that Unrevoked uses has been fixed and prevents rooting.

How did you download the HTC ARIA Froyo 2.2 OTA update? To my knowledge this update has not been released.
Aww... that sucks. Anyway thanks for helping.
I was meddling around the settings of the phone and found a check for update button, clicked it and a message appeared stating a new update is available, then I downloaded it.

[Q] Stock updated Froyo 2.2 TO Liberated FR008 2.2.2?

Hey guys,
I'm sort of a newb with these phones but I am starting to learn. Last night I updated my stock phone on 2.1 to the stock Froyo 2.2. I then read about the FR008 and how much better it was, and I want to be able to update to this version instead of the 2.2 Froyo.
Is it possible to do this? I really don't want to brick my phone so any help or guidance would be greatly appreciated. I have been looking through the Liberated Aria 2.2.2 thread along with this thread:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=819715
I downloaded the second one (liberated aria FR008) but haven't done anything yet.
Thanks!
You can't root because you updated to stock 2.2 which contains an unrootable hboot as of this time.
Signatures are fancy.

I thought you could root with unrevoked 3.32? didn't they add support in 3.2?
v3.2:
Added support for Froyo builds on all supported devices (thanks to Sebastian Krahmer)
Added support for the CDMA Desire
Optionally disables security on supported CDMA devices

Support for Android OS 2.2 (Froyo) is different than having support for the underlying HBOOT version which needs a loophole to remain rooted. Along with the factory update of the OS, an HBOOT update was also tacked on closing the loophole and thus diminishing the ability to root.

So I'm guessing there's no possible way to redo the hboot sector? I shouldn't have done that update then. Oh well someone will figure out the root soon enough I hope
This is my phone's versions:
Android: 2.2.2
Baseband: 47.63.35.21.....
Kernel: 2.6.32.21
Build: 2.20.502
Software: 2.20.502.1
Is there any way I can go to a liberated froyo from where I am at?

To make it a bit more clear, when you updated to 2.2, the update replaced the version of HBoot originally on the phone and root capable with an updated version that at this time cannot be rooted. Until an exploit is discovered, you're screwed.

Ahh FML. Figures that I updated it a few hours before I discovered this stuff.
Damn, same here. I'm sure it will be figured out soon enough but I really miss my rooted aria.
I do feel your pain. I was worried that the Aria I was getting from AT&T for a penny was going to have 2.2 on it out of the box. If I didn't also have an unlocked Dell Streak coming in with 2.2 already installed on it, I'd say it was an unfounded fear. The Dell Streak started with 1.6.
I really should have known...
Some how I didn't even think about checking for the option to "go back" to my rooted phone. I feel like an idiot. This is sometimes the best way to learn. I await an update from those with the power
::sigh::
