So installed 2.2.1 on my phone via sdcard blah blah blah. That's it. Nothing else. No changes unless that update did it itself. Someone said as long as you did just that, I can still update to the official OTA 2.2. They said this doesn't block updates, changing roms and kernels does. Is this true cause if so then ill just wait till the update and not revert back to stock.
no. you will not recieve ota updates running anything except official stock rom. that would be di18 or older.

you say changing roms is what affects updates, well, what do you think you did by flashing 2.2?
that is changing the rom!
Relax, take a deep breath, and stop making threads.
If your phone works fine now, go with it. The official update will be leaked here too, and you will be able to flash it the same way you flashed DK28.
Will you be able to get it OTA? Possibly, but Sprint rolls everything out slowly. I got my phone 2 weeks ago and it claimed I was on the newest version: DG27! Obviously DI18 was out but their OTA system is flaky at best.
If you want to go back to being part of the masses, go read the thread about how to Odin back to stock and wait patiently for Sprint to update you.
If you want the latest and greatest, stick with DK28 and flash the new version when it comes out.
Simple as that.
hi lucjoe!
Oh well shi*. I didn't even think about that. Yeah ill just wait till the official version comes out download.it and flsh it. Haha sweet then my phone will be official again no worries! Genius! God I'm an idiot....

Did your phone eventually update itself? If so how long did it take for the phone to figure out it needed to update?

NO it didn't i just found the link to the "official" update and downloaded it, flashed it and thats it. chances are, the ACTUAL leaked version will be able to download before the OTA actually hits.

When I first got the epic my first phone was on dg27 and after 2 days still wouldn't update so I did it myself with odin. I took it back cause I felt maybe there was something wrong since it wouldn't update itself. The one I have now came with di18 on it. Why do some phones not update themselves?

It has nothing to do with the phone. The OTA system rolls out slowly across the country. Also, the function to check for updates seems to not actually check the main server, but rather waits for updates to be pushed to it. This push could take a few days even if your area is live for the update.
Just another reason to flash from our wonderful community and ignore their OTA updates. Also, a terrible reason to return a phone...
Are you saying that if I waited long enough it might have updated itself? I called sprint tech and explained to them that I was two updates behind and they said it should have updated by now and that it must have an issue. So he said take it back to where I got it and he would put a note in my acct. That the phone was defective. So I played with it that night and flashed the update to it and rooted it just to learn.

They usually release only to a few thousand at a time the first few days, then up to 10,000 a day a few days later or something like that, so you might not get it till next week if its truly coming out.
They also have typically announced the update in the Verizonwireless.com forums under the android\incredible section. Until you see it there I would consider it a rumor.
Im just wondering if we will even get the ota if we're rooted or if we will have to unroot first.
According to this, the update is for real:
w ww.droid-life.com/2010/07/16/breaking-droid-incredible-ota-update-is-go/
Oops...can't post a link yet.
hey OP, make this a poll
I've been seeing it everywhere, but haven't gotten it yet.

gonna have to unroot to get updates.
EDIT: I take this back. It depends on your version. If you have an older version of software and you have not turned off notifications you will get the notification to update. If, however you're running a froyo ROM then my understanding is that you won't see the update.
Been on all the android forums today , so far nobody has gotten the update OTA.
If it was out today vzw would confirm it like they did when we got the first update.
All I heard today was a friend of a friend got the update , RIGHT !
Verizon hasn't released the "official" OTA, but there is a leaked version that people are downloading and installing. It appears to be authentic, but since not an OTA may affect future Radio updates if you install it. Plenty of info over at the Droid Forum.

Which Droid forum?
this droid forum for one thing. Check in the development section and you will see several threads with leaked ota discussing this
.
I'm really anxious to get the update, but I'm going to wait for the OTA. I updated my Eris with a leaked OTA, and I ended up regretting it. It made rooting much more difficult, and stopped me from getting the final OTA.

Do you know how it stopped you from getting the final OTA? i would think if you wiped and went back to a stock ROM the network wouldn't know the difference.

Nope. Known issue with the Eris leak.
Well, I'm not sure if if I have the OTA or not, or just part of it.
I rooted with the original instructions, then updated everything with Unrevoked 3.1. Stock ROM installed, have working WIFI tether.
Yesterday, got a message in my notification bar that a Verizon widget was available. I can now add a new Data Usage widget to my desktop, which says "Data Usage 0.0/0 MB Estimate as of N/A". Not sure why it isn't updating, but it's possible that it's related to me having a corporate rather than a personal account.
Never got a prompt to install any OTA. Tethering still works.
Hardware version 0002, Firmware version 2.1-update1
So maybe the Verizon widget was pushed by itself without the full OTA since I don't have the standard recovery?
FYI, the OTA has been halted in favor of packaging it up with the official Android FroYo v2.2 update. So instead up two OTA's we will have one OTA to rule them all!

Even better! I assume the recommendation then is to unroot?

No, the recommendation would probably be to hold your horses and wait till the OTA get's patched so we can simply upgrade without any hassle.
I know that HTC had originally said the *final* Froyo build would be pull-able before it begins pushing on 8/3. Has anyone been able to PULL the update as of yet? If so, what software version are you seeing? And is flash included in the update?
I would like to know as well
In before use other custom FroYo roms etc.
i put the leaked froyo on my phone and it has Flash 10.1
I have been checking most of the day. Haven't recieved an update yet. I am rooted. I wonder if the update knows if you are rooted or not. I have been reading about non rooted users getting the update today tho.
oh it was available..... then it was pulled.
i doubt you will see anything until the actual release tomorrow.
and who cares really, its 24 hours...
its going to be more interesting to see what has changed and if they gave it a new Rev # or if they pulled the same sh|t as the last update where they pulled it to fix some things but kept the same Rev #.

Doubt you that anyone is getting the update via OTA manual pull today at all. It will be out tomorrow in groups via OTA push, and if you want you should be able to force DL it. This is if sprint/HTC hold their word on the date at least, they could always say they found something and delay it.
Only way to get it now is download it form a site that got the leaked version friday and install it, or if your rooted and u install one of the many fine rom's available.

When was it available? I have been checking all morning and saw nothing.
He's talking about the one released Friday afternoon. Sprint said, however, that it's not the final build and the one pushed tomorrow will supposedly be a newer build
Kinda Can't Wait But I Rather A Final And More Stable Build/ROM. Just Wonder How Long Until There Is A Rooted Version.

****!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Double what he said....
Did the OTA update on rooted phone and got the triangle with exclamation in the middle with android character in front. Gonna try to reboot see what happens.
I want to update to JI6 but I hear it could be until the end of October when I receive the OTA. I hear it's available now through KIES. Is it worth the risk? is there even more of a risk than doing it OTA? I had the one click lag fix installed and got rid of it a few days ago in preparation of the OTA update. I can't stand the lagggg. I want to install the lag fix back on but won't until my phone is upgraded to JI6 for fear of bricking.
I called tmobiles customer support yesterday and asked him about when I could be reciving the update. He told me if I didn't get it by friday to call back and that there would be a way to get it manually from tmobile. If you can hold out till friday call them and get it.

i say flash it through odin. If you have hardware locked phone, flash ji4 first to unlock it and then flash the JI6. After that, you will have to flash mobileAP.

I don't know how to tell if my vibrant is hardware locked. Also, I've never used Odin. I plan to bone up on it in case 2.2 update takes longer than expected.That was I can install a custom ROM and be done with it.
Wait what? How is updating via KIES (official Samsung software) more risky than updating via Odin (a third party tool)? KIES may be a bloated POS and it may not officially support USA phones but if an update is available on KIES do that over Odin. Or wait for OTA but I am personally sick of waiting
I just updated from stock ROM with root. Worked like a charm, I had to use the one-click-root to get back superuser permission afterward, though. No biggy though.
Everything seems to be working great!
forgot to add that I used Kies running on my Windows 7 32-bit laptop.
I bricked my hardware locked, totally stock phone earlier today using the Kies update. I mean, I'm not saying that the danger of bricking is that great, but its definitely possible.
Well, my laptop just died trying to install the latest kies version. I guess I'll wait till Friday now.

Thank you.
did anybody's avatar movie lock up after the update? I can still watch it but it does nothing but prompt me everytime saying "avatar.dcf is locked. Do you want to unlock it?" I can also only watch it through the movie player. The shortcut won't work.
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 since the OTA was just released and 2.2 ppl can update with no problem, I tried but can't flash the update.zip because I'm on 2.3.3 leaked. I guess my question is, if i go to tmobile to do the whole sd card update crap, will they deny me the update if they find out I'm on the leaked version of 2.3.3 or will they even care? What do you guys think?
I don't see why, it can't hurt to try. Worst they can do in the store is tell you no. I sent in a phone under warranty that had the leak on it and tmo never said a word about it.
they probably won't even check to see if you have the leak. what the hell will they do anyway if they do see it??? They will probably power the phone down and pop the card in and update. I just hope they can update over the leaked since I cant get the OTA to work.
Yeah that makes sense. plus i heard that people got some phones back with the update already installed anyway, so I guess we'll see. Thanks for the reply though.

There are sometimes multiple ota builds depending on the current version. Hold out and see if another file pops up.
I would also imagine someone will post the contents of the sd card as well.
worst case I think someone posted instructions for reverting to a stock image.

i did a warranty exchange and had the leaked version of 2.3 on my phone. No issues.
You can always downgrade via this guide How ever I doubt there is a giant difference between the leak and the OTA and I bet there will be a RUU released soon that you can update via bootloader.
Edit: This just popped up no comments yet, you can venture if you dare.
no issues when I handed over my phone to the guy today. worked just fine with the leaked version it. thank god cuz trying to downgrade was a major pain and got no where!
Anyone have the sd card contents.. it would make my life a lot easier. I'm on 2.3.3 and want to get to 2.3.4 without downgrading
