I think you must be referring to this:

Sounds like there is some potential there, but we will have to see if anyone can turn the overflow into something useful.

I just took that update yesterday too...lol

Problem is this news is three days old and nothing new has come of it. I'm skeptical that he ran into a roadblock.

"IF i can learn arm assembly, then this shouldn’t be too hard."
Maybe he's working on that.
Anything new is a small glimmer of hope for me...lol

If hope is what you need then you should join us in irc.

Not sure about this 'opportunity' but that update included a recovery update which could have patch a yet unknown/released bug.

I hate to give bad news, but I'm about 99% sure that the exploit is for the Droid Eris. He mentions leaks (there have been 3 leaks for the Eris) and this was first posted by Zifnab on the Eris forum the other day.
This MAY have provide some insight into a possible root method for the incredible, but, personally, I am not optimistic considering all of the time between releases, the newer kernel, etc.
Sorry everyone.

he does seem to be working mainly on the eris but the main reason i posted it was because he says in this thread that it should work on any HTC device that uses fastboot.
while i know squat about the area, i figured it was worth linking to.

This looks interesting and useful, even if the information is for the Eris the post says it would work on all HTC devices with fastboot.
All HTC devices come with fastboot so if this is real its most credible post to hit the forums for the incredible.
1Way

Head over to the XDA Eris section and talk to him about what he's doing.

[Q] From Cyanogen to OTA Froyo MT3G

I'm currently running the MT3G 32b with the Cyanogen Froyo 2.2 install, considering TMobile is releasing the OTA Froyo update in the next few weeks, I'm considering going with that, but if I want to do that, do I have to do something to my phone to get it ready for the update? Or can I go straight from the Cyanogen mod to accept the OTA Update?
Thanks up front for your patience.

tldnr: post a link or it doesn't exist
I've searched every magic / dream / TMO OTA wall that has been created on this and the Cyanogen forum, as well as Googling for similar threads and data on various forums, and haven't found a single post on a single thread that answers simply this specific question. In addition, I've looked at every post that was recommended as possible solutions by this forum as I was creating this thread.
So if you could be bothered for a brief moment to get off your high horse. A horse whose saddle bags are filled with a fountain of knowledge and forum links of hundreds of millions of responses on threads to the question I have posted. Maybe you could post a single link with a response, or even a set of keywords that could be placed into Google or whatever search engine you prefer to use that would return a single result that answers the question.
If however, in your infinite wisdom, you feel that answering my question would take up too much time out of your day, I suppose I'll let you get back to trolling the forums in hope that you can post "first" and "search first" on every thread anyone creates.

Yet another 2.2 post - Verizon Fascinate

Yeah I know another Froyo 2.2 post. But I found this interesting that the Samsung product page for our phone has it listed with 2.2 coming standard. Maybe a clue that it will come within the next few months.
This is the Fascinate for Verizon network.
Hopeful for 2.2 yes, will it happen, probably not soon. I can wait.
http://www.samsung.com/us/mobile/cell-phones/SCH-I500RKAVZW

there are multiple posts about this same thing....
search for those...

Well that is a step in the right direction. The picture under the little article "Galaxy S with Android 2.2OS" still says 2.1 though, but eh at least they are acknowledging that 2.2 is coming very soon.

Figured i would get flamed for this. But all the rss feeds today are posting. sorry guys, did not read every single 2.2 post from start to finish to realize this was posted.
Anyways. Site is inconsistent. who knows when it will happen. I am not getting my hopes up for it. just thought i would share the already shared news again.
Cheers!

I'm not sure about other people on here, but I appreciate the info. Since this is the first time I have seen it. Also because it is not speculation, it is straight off of the samsung site.

wasn't Flaming you or bagging you, simply saying some other posts here and at www.Fascinateforums.com have more info from Samsung reps...

i don't see 2.2 on that page...it shows 2.1 under specs and near pic?

Looks like the over zealous web programmers have fixed the Fascinate for Verizon to show only 2.1 again. Someone either jumped the gun or is just trying to get peoples hopes up.
Hope they got a good laugh!

Hello and thanks to all

As you can see I have been a member since early summer last year. I have 0 posts, merely because I have not once needed to post for help, or questions. I guess I am here to officially say hello and thank you to everybody. Before froyo, I started out with a stock 1.5 from sprint and updated to a leaked 2.1 FW and rooted the correct way, with command prompt and ADB. Flashed Flipz' fresh 2.0d on up to 2.4.0 was really happy with a custom 2.1 sense rom. Then I finally started to look into CM6 soon after the 2.4 incremental Flipz released. Lets just say I fell in love CM and have not had any problems. Everybody on the hero and eris (buddy as one) forums have helped me a lot. You guys are great and again thank you so much for turning a crap phone into a fun, fast performing, stable phone.

i know what do you mean....everybody here is so helpful...great community

I Also Agree Guys...

It's good to see that you have shown that you are able to search the fourms properly if you've ever had an issue, rather than spamming the forum with a question thats been asked many times before

+1 to that... very few do that.

^^^
I'll throw in a thanks too. Just obtained the hero about a week ago. Started from 2.1 to the CM6.1 first only to find out camera among other things were not working properly. Then in reading a discussion on CM7 nightlies for the hero and how they were nonexistent at this time, someone mention the aospmod and XDA. Was easily able to get that working on my hero also with a few other mods.
Love the community so far and the great support for the Hero! I plan on having this phone for a good long while seeing as 4g is not available anywhere in my state from Sprint.
Keep up the good work guys!

Hell yeah! We're happy to have you guys here.

[Q] Continuum 2.2 Update for Beginners?

I'm a noob when it comes to smartphones and android. My wife got this Continuum for free for me, and well I wish I would of known about it. I got this Friday and not knowing anything about Android, I thought I got a good deal, but soon realized after reading several forums up here there isn't going to be an official 2.2 release, but thanks to the kind folks here, there is a leaked version.
To my question, and I guess it's just me not being use to it, and trying to learn everything in a day, it's just not sticking. I would definitely want to upgrade to 2.2, but I'm lost. I understand the concept of it all, but like I said I'm lost. I haven't tried it yet, but do you have to root your phone first? Before you even attempt the update. I understand the concept of rooting a phone it basically gives you complete control over it, but is their a beginners guide?I guess I'm just lost although the leak was posted with great instructions it seems like a foreign language to a noob like me. Any help would be appreciated.

I was like you a week ago, lost, afraid, overwhelmed with information. But then, I found the search bar and now my phone has 2.2 on it. I don't really remember what happened, musta blacked out. Oh well... good luck!

Check out www.addictivetips.com/mobile and search rooting continuum. For that matter, read a lot from that site. It helped me a ton, and they put it in layman's terms

I got it running on my first try. It really isn't too hard once you grasp it. Thanks for all the help offered. And especially a big thanks to the people who brought 2.2 to the Continuum. At least it's not so dead after all. My Rom from pastorbennett runs perfect. I do have another question...would it be safe to download the My Verizon app. Even though it's a little aggravating, I do like being able to keep up with my usage, but if it's not advised I'll stay away from it.

I've been reading through a lot of the threads for loading Froyo onto my continuum, but am running into an issue that I have not been able to get past (or maybe I am being impatient).
I have the phone in debugging mode (only way Odin seems to pick it up)
I click the PDA button
Load the tar file
Click start
The process seems to begin, but gets hung up on SetupConnection and does not proceed from there.
Is there something I am missing? Not doing right?
This is my first Android phone and am still learning the terminology and so on. Any help would be appreciated.
EDIT - Figured out how to put the phone in download mode, everything moved right along. /facepalm

Hey, it's good to see users answering their own questions! I have done that I can't guess how many times... I look in the mirror and tell myself. Did you REALLY RTFM?
I'm glad you posted your fix. That might help others that read the thread. I guess it's a pet peeve of mine when I see a post that says, "Nevermind, I figured it out." And doesn't explain what they figured out, and how they did it... I'm just sayin'... Ya know!

Agreed, Moon Shadow.I've done several dozen searches, and clicked on promising links to someone who is having the same issue. The only resolution I see is "I got it". Which makes the search useless.
