Sweet, great news!
Schweet! Now that both my DI's are rooted up, just have to sit and wait for the OTA to be acquired and rooted, and I'll have all the goodness with root to boot.
So what will this mean for those of us that downloaded the ota update and rerooted when this gets released?
Will someone be able to rip froyo out and give it to us in the form of a root friendly rom?
Way cool...glad I waited.

PS Still don't know or have heard of any non-devs getting the OTA update...
This is awesome news, already have the leaked OTA applied, but now getting Froyo, makes everything that much better.
Hah! I was speaking about this last night with a few of my fellow HTC Incredible owners. Makes sense they would bundle up both updates into one. I've waited this long, I'll keep waiting till someone repackages this up so those of us with root can make the transition smoothly.
I hope this is not just another rumor.
Not to be a Debbie Downer, but I'll believe this when I see it. Hopefully it turns out to be true.
Mach3te, I'm with you, buddy...waited since April 28th for this, can wait a little longer for the rooted version of the whole banana.
jc
I will believe it when I see it.
Well considering we have a moderately working EVO 2.2 Sense Rom...I'd start to believe it. Seems the Incredible version would only need minor software tweaks to work. So...I don't get how you're all so pesimistic. The only reason our port isn't 100% working now is because of lack of drivers and closed source-ness of HTC.
That Evo rom was a dirty port from the Desire. It has the wrong version kernel, and no Froyo drivers. That would be like saying Froyo must be close because of the Sky Raider rom.
Wonder if applying the Froyo OTA over the leaked OTA would brick some incredibles. As it's briking phones that apply the update over the update.
Will Froyo address the bluetooth stack issues some people have been reporting?

Yay!
Definitely glad I did not do the OTA, I am sure someone will package the extras up into a rom for the time being, and then FROYO! (without a voided warranty )
No offense, but rooting your phone and installing a rom voids your warranty just as much.

No official date has been released to the public. Any reply concerning this stating otherwise is unreliable and should be considered theoretical. To justify this please understand that there have already been several rumored release dates that have already come and gone. Most recent of those were "By the end of April."
If you're so tired of 1.6 you could always consider rooting your device and installing an Eclair rom. Cyanogen is currently testing his CM-5.0.7 release on MyTouch/G1 devices. For being experimental, I must say that it seems pretty solid.
Well I work for myself and have no ties with google t-mobile and htc (other than I use thier products) and I can say for sure that it will be released on May 1st 1956 pick up sticks. No lies this will be the release day.
There you go tell your friends just don't go telling anyone where you got the info.
Never. If you want to update your phone you have to do it yourself. So set aside like 8 hours of your life come here and read up on the Devlopment fourm on how to do it. It's definitely worth investing the time into rooting your phone.
I really wish people would quit asking this. Unless somebody finds a MAJOR Security hole in the original stock firmware this phone will never get an OTA update.

TMobile disagrees with you. They have 2.1 OTA updates planned this spring for all phones.
so what..even if t-mobile does OTA this device it's still be a Stock rom. It's still not going to be able to do what it can really do by him actually taking time out of his life to put 2.1 on there today. So why have him wait for T-Mobile to get around to pushing out a lesser lower quality OTA versus him just putting the latest Custom Rom on it like Cyanogen's right now?
Morrolan how about you do a bit of research before you speak. T-mobile said the by the end of April, not Spring.

Whenever they release an official ROM, most 2.1 ROMs will be rebuilt. They'll actually have a fully functional ROM that was actually MEANT to run with the Dream/Magic.

Funny how it's May and the updates are not out to the phones. The latest press release said "spring," not "April." You might want to follow your own advice.
I just saw on android central that the Eris will be getting an update on July 16th. I just rooted not to long ago and I love it. Just wanted to know if it is possible for me to still get the OTA update now that I have rooted?
remember how there was a few people
who got that update a bout 2 weeks ago?
thats what this is. just the rest of them
are getting it.
once someone who gets it can pull the
url, then the devs will be able to put
it into their roms.
Ivans 1.2?
Ok, Thanks!!!
Is this just an update fixing all the garbage problems with the 2.1 OTA? Took 'em long enough. Good thing I rooted the day I got the OTA because it was terrible.

Believe it (an OTA update) when you (or others) see it.
Hopefully I will have my new phone by the time this comes out. I simply had crazy issues with the Eris and am going to get a different phone.
I am going to assume that it will be the end of the month before everyone gets the OTA.
It'll probably a rolling update across the country since the last big update ordeal crashed a few servers. If you jump on Verizon's site after the rolling update is done you should be bale to update by downloading that way. One of the reasons the was also such a wait for the 2.1 update was there was a big jump from 1.5 to 2.1.
It'll be interesting to see what all happens with the update, and rooted phones.
From their twitter:
"If you applied the unofficial EVO update, we are working to get you back on the official track. We will get back to you in the coming days..."
Forced update?

They can't force it. Not that I know of...
I wouldn't be surprised if their idea is to provide a new update that plugs whatever root exploits are found in the leaked update. Maybe that was the whole point of the update to begin with - bait people into exposing the exploits, then block them with the final version. Then, if people have issues, they can say, "Well, we provided the final update, you just didn't take it because you wanted root." Or something like that.
So this means no update tomorrow! Surprise!
In English this means:
HAHA! You fools fell for it, thanks for downloading our intentionally leaked ROM which you downloaded right off our servers. In the process we've investigated just how you're currently rooting your phones and we'll have the official complete release in a few days with all your exploit holes plugged. Thank you, have a good day!

Hahahaha. The paranoia....it's great.
My guess is they were likely testing their servers and possibly giving "us" a chance to find a hole for them to plug.
They may have also wanted to see if the update would make bricks.
Umm, its not like they cant hang out in these forums anyway... *Waves hello to Sprint Reps/Coders*
Duh.
Does HTC have a history of aggressively plugging root holes a-la Motorola?
all of this plugging holes discussion is getting me hot and bothered. gonna go watch some high school volleyball now.
You guys think HTC doesn't know how people are rooting their phones? haha
What this means is that if casual users went ahead and grabbed this update, they can still update their phone when they officially push the update out.
Just the nexus, there were "step up" builds for every "leaked" version that was up there.

They can't even do it ota? They held the update for so long then say they are going to update but they make it as hard as they can. This doesn't surprise me.
There is obviously a problem updating OTA. Rather they release it this way as soon as they can and then OTA when they are sure its stable.
It's not even 2.2.1.
My coworker just updated and he only received 2.2. I would have figured they could have figured out that minor build for this.
hahahahahaha, figures they wouldn't give 2.2.1.
And after a little browsing of the captivate forum it looks like they are having a lot of problems with both kies and the froyo update.

Lol, so basically it breaks down like this:
-Tmobile received a ton of bad press over entire delay of Froyo.
-They cave and release the update that Samsung had given them MONTHS ago but they didn't release because of z4root and they only release it through kies so that enthusiasts will STFU while a majority will not receive the easily rootable update.
-They announce that there will be a mandatory OTA update later, which will obviously be 2.2.1, updating everyone to the z4root proof Froyo.
I love my phone but it's frustrating seeing other galaxy devices getting updates left and right while we get left in the dark
I posted a comment on samsung forum saying that this phone is great but it's already outdated when it hit the stores and they denied my comment
Honestly I'm losing hope due to the fact my girlfriend had a Droid Incredible with 2.2 even my old G1 has 2.2 it may be to much for it to handle it but it still has 2.2
Btw. If it wasn't for you developers I would have left a long time ago Thank You Guys

It will get 2.2 eventually, but only time will tell how long. If we can get kernel source for the I500 phones, we should be able to get you a working kernel, and you may be able to use one of the Fascinate Froyo ROMs then. The biggest problem you'll have is getting the kernel until Samsung releases the OTA or source because of the different video driver used for the screen/ticker/soft keys.

I'm with you on this update lincoln3823. Very frustrating hearing other phones have froyo while a phone released in November is unable to get an update.
I love my phone but I'm going crazy with my RSS not working at all and SNS not working correctly (facebook-yes; twitter-no).
I've even reset my phone and it worked for maybe a couple of days.
Why won't they push an update to froyo??

Well it was said that samsung was charging carriers to release ota firmware updates. I don't know how much it is true but I'm starting to believe the rumors.
Sent from my Rooted space time Continuum w/ 2600mAh battery
If that's true, that really stinks.
Sure wish I new someone who knows the answer to this question.
Heck, I might even pay for it, if the cost (ROI) was worth it. Sure would like to see flash on my phone. Besides froyo has 57% of the market vs. eclair at 31%.
That's crazy considering the Continuum came out in November.
On another note:
I haven't rooted my phone and I noticed your signature as Rooted.
Question? Is it worth rooting? I've read Pros on it but haven't seen any Cons. What's the drawback on it? Updates? Can you revert back to stock if I choose too.

So like I've been looking around at forums to root my phone but I have no idea what I'm doing. Really none. Just got my continuum in Jan. I read about OneClick and SuperOneClick (think that's right) and sometimes it works and sometime not.
Can you point me to the "Root for Dummies" section?
Also, what software do I need to backup my phone incase of trouble so I can revert back to stock?

If you want, I could make a tutorial much like my one for CWM. It might take me a bit to edit it though, but better late than never XD

Tutorials are always great. I'd love to see it.
BTW, I rooted my phone using SuperOneClick. It worked perfectly and I've verified it using Root Checker. Now my next step is I want to remove or freeze the bloatware.
I'll direct future non Subject (Are we ever going to get 2.2) related questions to appropriate Threads posting.
I really didn't have an idea about rooting either....seems like I was looking everywhere for rooting information. I tried z4 multiple times with no effect. superoneclick worked. I am running a windows 7 laptop. The phone drivers updated (downloaded from the net) when I plugged in my phone. Then I followed the video instructions on superoneclick site and everything worked fine. continuum w/ verizon. Now I just need to figure out how update to 2.2 I"m on the way!

There is no leaks available yet so the only way to get to 2.2 is to wait, or hope that Adrynalyne can get a leak.
But both imnuts and Adrynalyne are both working on custom roms so there will be some love for the continuum

samsung submitted ec17 for the fascinate to verizon...and apparently that is still in testing...im just gonna assume it ll fail testing like most of their updates and never come out
the fascinate root crowd no longer really cares though as the mesmerize 2.2 officially came out w/ source....
but it seems like continuum updates follow quickly behind fascinate updates...so if hypothetically a fascinate ota occured like this week then it would probably be soon after for the i400
Ok, I was just fine tweaking 2.1 for now until something happened and we finaly got 2.2+, since Eclair isn't really that bad. Now I am starting to see 2.2+ only apps (ones that I want to try mostly) and it's starting to make me less patient. It saddens me since this phone had so much potential with the decent hardware and interesting ticker feature, but it is quickly being left in the dust as the little android that couldn't... /sadpanda
Looks like Samsung has released the Froyo source code for the Fascinate... that could be a good sign... Of course, isn't there a Fascinate on Rogers (Canada) that has had Froyo for awhile?
I know I saw it on android central and I got excited but then again we did get left behind once before
