I recently had an aria sent for repair to at&t. upon receipt of the phone they hed installed froyo 2.2.2! 10 is there a rom I can flash over this or 2) is there a way of putting the phone back to 2.1?
I need to do this in order to turn the prox. sensor off. I was able to do this using cm7 but can't seem to re-flash cm7 with 2.2.2 being installed.
You can't revert back. Pretty much stuck with 2.2.2, sorry.

No. There's nothing you can do on your own now.
The only option you have left is purchasing a piece of equipment that plugs into your phone which can root it, or send your phone to someone who has the hardware and will do it for you. Specifically I'm talking about the "good news" part of this post: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=12908295&postcount=43.
For now I would just suggest waiting a few days and check back for details once they are worked out.
I would call AT&T in anger and disgust and demand they give you a new phone for updating yours without your permission!
I wonder if you can tell them not to update, just fix said problem.

well this post is about what happened to my aria after the 2.2 update,,, well now it stinks,,, reallly,,, i am embarrased by this thing,, I used to show it off,, tell people it was super fast,,, boast that the gps would lock on in 15 seconds,,, now its 1 to 2 minutes before it locks,,, screen transition form one screen to another,, 2 seconds,, some fonts are less bold making them harder to see,, music did not stop playing when a phone call came in,, and on and on,,neither ATT or HTC act like I can go back to 2.1 or get a phone with 2.1 on it,,, so I guess Im screwed,,, thanks ATT

That thread will allow you to downgrade the ROM back to the official 2.1 release, but it will not allow you get gain root access and install ClockworkMod which is needed to install a custom ROM like CM7.

i have a non-rooted HTC incredible, however it's stuck in an endless boot loop. I can enter recovery, but that's about it.
any suggestions as to what i can do?
hard reset may work

i tried hard resetting it. this did not solve the problem.
ok. if you are not rooted, take ot back to big red and get a replacement. from what i hear, the incredible is not that well made. i know that on my inc-- sometimes haptic feedback gives out, sound gives out, amd it overheats

i am the second owner of the incredible, and apparently, the warranty only applies to the original owner.
Are you root?

i'm not rooted. i was just using the phone normally and then it randomly rebooted. now it's stuck in a loop.
do you guys think if i apply a manual non-rooted update it would fix the problem?
if yes, where can i get a link to download this?
RUU
You should try running any of the stock RUU's; maybe even the most recent one (although I make no warranty; and this is at your risk). Perhaps your reboot loop is a heat related issue due to a faulty radio which is working too hard.
http://www.shipped-roms.com/shipped/Incredible/
has the RUU's although it is not clear as to how long.
I am on my 2nd incredible; first one overheated and would then would do a 4-13 white screen / black screen / white screen / ... until it would move on.

ruu, hard reset, and stock img, that is it. Your dinc is hosed. I hope you have insurance??? (this is the part where you say yes)
Sent from my Incredible using XDA App
Welp
While it may not help you, it can't hurt to say. I was having huge reboot issues ... highest number was 13 initial white screen / black screen cycles. I could also NEVER get into Recovery (I could get into HBOOT but when I chose recovery, it would do TWO reboots, the second being full). A battery pull was usually needed.
However, the one thing that allowed me into recovery, etc., was to let the phone charge overnight to 100% and let it be. In the morning, the phone was charged and cool. At that point, I could easily get into recovery, start up, etc.
While I am sure you have tried this; just wanted to note to make sure your phone is cool and you did a battery pull for at least 10 minutes.
I too have this issue
I also have a stock incredible that I bought second hand, which when i bought it, I checked to make sure the device was ok. When I activated it like 2 minutes later it entered a reboot loop. I thought it might be a botched PRL so I went to the Verizon Rep (I met the seller at vz store) and he performed a forced activation. It continued the reboot loop so I took it home. I noticed that if I was outside or near a window, the phone would act normally. I used this discovery to root it and install a recovery. I flashed a few kernel/rom/radio combinations including stock rooted but there was no luck. I flashed back to RUU and it continued to reboot loop. The next day I reversed the activation back to my Eris. 20 minutes later the phone is perfect. I reactivated the device and it commenced rebooting immediately. I took it back to the store and they noted the same behavior. I'm pretty sure it's a faulty radio but since it wasn't activated on the original # they couldn't warranty it. They did tell me if the original owner activates it, they will warranty it so were gonna do that. I hope nobody else has this issue, but if you have this problem, try RUU, and if that doesnt fix it, it's likely hardware failure
I accidentally updated to the 2.3 update from sprint, which naturally killed root and battery life of my shift, and so now I'm wondering if there is a way to ruu back to 2.2 so I can root and save some juice, or am I just S.O.L. until devs figure something else out?
This has been answered in several different threads... As of right now there is no way to return to 2.2. Until another root method is found, your pretty much stuck with what you have.

Wow fml, I should have known better. Thanks for the heads up though. This is going to be a long edc.
I'm in the same boat. If there isn't a solution found within a week or so, I'm going to reactivate my Palm Pre and use it until the fix is found. I NEED to have wifi tethering and the Pre was really easy to get it working on. FML

Yeah,make sure you let us know. I updated my wife's phone the other day .I want to take it back to 2.2 so I can root it if need be.
Phones speaker, yet again, went out.
Took phone to best buy, rooted with a custom rom on it. Think it was Fresh 4.2 or something I don't remember tbh.
Get phone back and it's all manufactured and has latest update.
From what I've read, no root for it yet.
What do?
Well, if we can get HTC to roll another small update out for us for the bad timezone and other small bugs... maybe they'll unlock the boot loader for us. :-D Send HTC saying your timezone is messed up. :-D

If it happens again, just buy a new speaker off eBay. They're really easy to swap out and cheap as hell. Just look on you tube for a walk-through.
not terribly worried about it. i plan on switching to the BB Bold 9930 when it comes out to Sprint in a couple months.
I got my Evo4g, because my previous job had hours upon hours of down time. So SNESoid and many other games filled that void and made my work day enjoyable. New job...can't even take my phone into the building, at all =( So all I need my phone now is just text and email. I could probably just get a dumb flip phone really. But I couldn't do that after having a smartphone for a few years now.

Is it your same phone? Check your bootloader to see if it is still s-off. You may get lucky and still be able to install a custom recovery.

ha, not sure why I didn't think of that.
i jsut assumed it was a new phone, sticker under battery now says 'remanufactured' and the screen doesnt have the scratch it had before and the camera lens is brand new looking.

I just received the ota for 2.3.3 and cannot find a thing anywhere about that has changed. I have noticed the facebook integration is not there and I now have mediahub. Ither than that I am finding nothingness.

On another note there has been one bug I noticed was fixed: the screen going all tweaky when you try to type when its plugged in.

Yea my phone tried to do it as well. I stoped it though because im unlocked and on an rooted/debloated stock rom and worried it could cause problems. Not that I could not fix mind you, but it would requre me borrowing a computer as I do not have one

I'm not sure how I feel about the included version (3.6.84.26668.26670.1638.Verizon), since it's missing the custom dictionary of added words. The overall look is different, which is fine, and I like the numbers having the top row.

Some Sprint stores will repair it for a fee if you buy the parts yourself (at the same time you can probably do it yourself). You can usually go on ebay and find the parts that you need.
