Alright chaps, I would appreciate your posting to this thread as soon as you hear about rooting after the update on the 27th.
I am stock all the way and wished I had rooted prior to update. Lesson learned.
I just want root on new stock update. Hopefully I'll have root soon.
Thanks.

Read my post on how to downgrade back to 2.1 then you can s-off and root from there.

vzwsupport says 2 weeks to a month to finish updates.
After the updates roll out, if I flashed an image of the full stock 2.1 would I still beable to download the update?
Or is there any hopes of somebody making a full image of the 2.2 stock?
I received my update Saturday morning at around 8:30 a. m.
I have never rooted, so the steps provided will work nonetheless. I can go back to 2.1 and then root to 2.2 rom. Is this correct, I am told on other forums this will not work.

I had a stock Incredible. I got anxious and decided to do the RUU instead of waiting on the OTA. Now I want to root. Can I do this now or do I have to wait until somebody figures how to root 2.2?

fairly certain you have to wait until someone roots 2.2.
Best way would've been to root, forever, then update and reinstall CWM Recovery
on previous thread.
There is another thread on the forums for just this. You will have to roll back with a hack. New user does not allow me to post the link but the thread id is 768295
here is the title to the thread. [GUIDE] How to downgrade from OTA RUU 2.2 to 2.1

Should have unrevoked forever.

It does appear that rooted users need to beware.
I have removed all the bloat except for the 3G AP app, and I can not install the OTA.mainly because i am lazy I am going to SBF and then OTA and re-root.
Tell us if you can root after OTAing
Dumb question from me...
I just recently installed the 2.3.15 leak from Motorola (posted in the forums here). Will it still prompt me to update or do I have to sbf back to stock?
I'm rooted and deodexed, but otherwise stock. Have been checking for updates today and not received the update yet... I should at least see the update, yeS?
I got the update.

Just following up here as well, do NOT attempt to SBF your device using the current available droid 2 sbf if you get the update. Angdroid/Motoboy was testing it out on his development D2 and it's now a paper weight.
My advice, exercise extreme caution with this OTA, from what I hear you will be stuck with stock D2 MotoBlur for hte time being if you update.

Thanks for the tip!
I still haven't seen the update and am considering doing a factory reset. Has anyone gotten any information about the performance increase / battery life in the update, is it worthwhile to seek it out?
Is this update for the R2D2 version also?
I have been hitting system update now for a few days. Just a few times a day. I still have not gotten the update. Is there any way to make it go? I figured it would have gotten to me by now.

Same here ...
at least im not the only one not getting it. Would doing a factory reset possibly kick it to start?

Factory reset didn't do it for me. If you really want it, just flash the 2.3.2 SBF
This thread at droidforums has a link to an update file. Probably shorter/easier than applying a new .sbf, but same result.
People are also saying that the 1-2-3 root method will give root back after applying the update.
That said I have not applied either and have still not received the update automatically.
Verizon doesn't push the update to everyone at the same time, different markets will get the update at different times. They do this to not overload the servers
How would I tell if i got the update?
I gave up waiting and applied the update from droidforums using the stock bootloader. Worked like a charm on my stock droid 2. Haven't yet re-rooted since I don't really see a need for root at the moment.
I was able to pull down the update today. It just finished, so no comments or thoughts on it yet.
edit:
I restored the bloatware and unrooted before applying the update. No issues upgrading. I have not tried to apply root again (yet).
rooted, installed cw recovery, installed jt's superclean 0.4 DI01 ROM, what would I do when 2.2 or 2.3 comes out? will I have to wait a couple days for a updated ROM to come out for that version of android? Or would I have to go back to stock?
Wait for a ROM... Much easier than dealing with having to go back to stock just for an ota

this. and you know very shortly after an OTA comes out, or more likely before, it will be released here in multiple flavors. so i wouldn't worry about it.
ok cool. thanks
Thanks for the info....good post. I hope its true and we see it soon. Ignore PhoenixPath he likes to shoot down anyone.... Your thread 100% belongs here.
Would it be expected to have a Froyo 2.2 rom the same day it comes out OTA if Verizon somehow keeps it from being leaked before?

I would think there would at least be a rooted version out the same day. A lot of it will depend on when it is released. If it gets released late at night or during the week, it may take a little longer than if it gets released earlier in the day or on like a Friday.
Another reason not to return to stock to get an update from Verizon: The update may prevent the phone from being rooted again by patching the security loophole that we exploit to gain root.

So obviously the GB OTA update for the DX is coming soon. But my question is that im on stock 2.2 but i AM rooted. So will being rooted block the OTA update when it is finally pushed?
thanks
In past DX updates it has not blocked it, but you would have to re-root. I am not sure about the next update but I assume it will be similar

To get root you need to use the zip files that p3droid posted and install from froyo. And yes you can sbf back
Hello my name is Melvin. I have a HTC EVO 4G. I had previously done a temp. root with unrevoked. I had 2.1 OS, and i think i may have screwed up. I new the new 2.2 was available, so i unrooted (temp.)To get the new FOTA. Now im interested in a custom rom, (gingerbread-deck-evo). Im obviously new at all of this. So, tell me did i screw up?
Or can i still root with unrevoked since it was only a temp root for tether purposes?
Im a noob!

Well Melvin. Your screwed. Assuming you took the 2.3.3. OTA, since 2.2 dropped last year, there is no root for us. Welcome to the club...

We need a poll to see how many of us are out there waiting...
Now then I just looked at my firmware version and it shows Android 2.2 when I took the update it said FOTA 2.2 . If that's the case. And its 2.2 . Then I need to learn how to get a custom Rom and flash it, since I'm a noon and all.

well if in case you do have 2.2 Froyo then you're still in luck with the rooting option.
in most of our cases we were either dumb and did the OTA update to 2.3.3 or like myself got an upgrade from my LG Optimus S to the Evo 4g and BAMMMM 2.3.3 out of the box which blows.
on the other hand I have heard rumors that Google recalled the 2.3.3 updates and no the Evo's that havent updated wont receive the update yet and are still rootable.. Could it be that the reason to that is all the Talk about Google unrestricting the bootloaders?
