UPDATE YOUR INCREDIBLE TO FROYO (Android 2.2) Official OTA download link from google (for non roooters) - http://android.clien...elease_sign.zip Instructions- Rename the file as update.zip; copy to root of sd card; power down phone (also remove battery and then reinsert); boot into recovery (Hold down the "Volume Down" button as you power the phone back on); A screen should appear showing your phone's system searching for various files. Scroll down to "recovery" using vol down button and press the "Power" button to select it. When you see the triangle with an exclamation point symbol, press the "Power" and "Volume Up" buttons at the same time. From the menu that appears, use vol keys to move to "Apply sdcard:update.zip." Push Power button to select it. Update will start and take several minutes. When the screen displays "Install from sdcard complete" select by vol key "reboot system now" and wait for the phone to power back up. It may reboot itself instead of asking you to do it. REMEMBER- Took a while, and many people PANICKED when it froze at the new Droid eye splash screen (after the DROID voice and a splash showing all the features of the Dinc), but after waiting for what seemed like an eternity, it got past it and went to a screen that counted up to 100%. At 25%, it came up with a screen that said "Congratulations, you have successfully updated your HTC phone to version 3.21.605.1 (the build number). After that, it completed the countdown and booted to your home screen and your system info shows Android version 2.2 in Software Info!! SO BE PATIENT.. Look around and confirm that all is well, then reboot. After this you can remove update.zip from the /sdcard directory. PS - First off, ensure that you have the Stock 2.1 ROM with first OTA, it WILL NOT work otherwise. software/Build version should read as the following: 1.22.605.2 to proceed with this update...if it is 1.22.605.0, the update wont work... Also as far as we know, it cannot work in clockwork recovery!!!... You should be on Stock Recovery. For people who have rooted and are on clockwork recovery from unrevoked, follow instructions here - http://www.rimweb.in...1/page__st__338 This Update DOES NOT WIPE YOUR PHONE. Your phone will turn on as usual. You will have all of your apps, all of your settings, all of your ringtones set, the same wallpaper set, everything exactly as before. You will notice some changes they made to text messaging, changing the keyboard and many other things. As well as speed. and Yes, it works even if you are S-off; just ensure that you unroot and get back to stock before proceeding; Its recommended to root first to get s-off (for future purposes... LOL), then Unroot then back to stock; then first ota then this Ota update...though I have just got news that there is NO need to root as the root process for the new ota is also on the way, so dont worry about s-off...and go ahead and update... STATUTORY - This link and instructions are given in good faith; though nothing will go wrong if you follow instructions properly, I am not responsible for anything;

So, just when I was ready to install this update.zip, I got official OTA Notification; So ignored it at first; switched on wifi, went back to Settings-About Phone-Update and chose to update; Took about 5-10 minutes on wifi; it downloaded the 93mb file and rebooted perfectly into Froyo 2.2... Seems I am the first one to get official OTA update here (who actually updated over the air)... All settings etc. remained as it is... What I saw NEW in 2.2 - - Its snappier and much quicker - New apps - 3G Mobile Hotspot, App Sharing, Amazon MP3 (bloatware), Flashlight (great app), and some other bloatwares... - I can now see 720p recording option in camcorder - Lots of new widgets; specially liked the NEWS widget, Sync All, lots of new calculators, many new android widgets also added like Power control etc. - Music Widget is snappier and remembers last folders after reboot (a bug in 2.1) - New Messaging App, better, with photos, attachments etc. - Wifi draft N support; more towers visible in wifi now - Flash 10.1 support - Nexus One Live wallpaper - Voice Dial over Bluetooth now works - Takes longer to charge but has IMPROVED battery life - Gmail UI is updated - New startup screen with DROID sound - Ability to save apps to sd card - I find enhanced sharpness of pictures and the icons in camera now rotate with screen orientation - You can't press the menu button to unlock the phone anymore. Sliding the bar is the only way now - BAD - Your screen now turns in every direction but upside down after 2.2 - 1x sign now remains always lit, only arrows dim out when not in use - Now you have to click Menu>Exit to leave the car panel menu; does'nt go out just by clicking back button - Lots more pattern lock options including numeric or password code lock - Peep is not working properly; some authentication issue; Twitter app is having issues; Android 2.2 seems to have broken twitter. (EDIT- Its a twitter authentication feud issue not a 2.2 issue; will get solved soon) - Holding down the home button now gives you 8 recently used apps instead of 6 - New Caller ID Photo screen

For ROOTED Users wanting to get back to stock and then back to Official 2.2 OTA and also keeping their S-Off and then GET ROOT BACK with superuser permissions- NOTE 1: This assumes that you've got ClockworkMod recovery already as part of your rooted phone. If you're not rooted, you might as well stop reading right now as you won't have to do most of this. NOTE 2: In all cases below, when you are told to download a file, download it using your computer, not your phone. I would download each file into a separate folder named somewhat descriptively. There's a reason for this... in at least two cases, you will have two different files with the same filename and you'll want to know which one is which. Then, after downloading the files and renaming them if necessary, connect your phone to your computer with the USB cable and copy the files to the root of your SD card as needed. This way, you can be a little more organized plus have extra copies of everything in case something goes wonky. *** A. PREPARE BY TAKING YOUR PHONE BACK TO STOCK (MOSTLY) *** 1. First, before you do anything at all, go to Unrevoked Forever public:forever [RootWiki] and apply S-off. Just follow their directions. 2. If you haven't installed a custom kernel, you can skip this step. If you had a custom kernel, hopefully you followed the installation directions and did a Nandroid backup. You'll want to restore that backup from ClockworkMod Recovery to get the stock kernel back. I'm not 100% sure if this is necessary depending on which kernel you had but it can't hurt. 3. Go to Adrynalyne's site Stock HTC Incredible Recovery Image Just another blog and get the stock 2.1 recovery image (PB31IMG.ZIP). You need to put this file into the root (i.e. not in a folder) of your SD Card, make sure the file reads PB31IMG.ZIP and not PB31IMG.ZIP.ZIP. Boot into hboot by turning off your phone and then hold the volume down button and the power button until it boots into hboot. Once in hboot, it should ask you if you want to apply the update, click the volume up button to apply the update. Once it is down, it the volume up button to reboot the phone. You now have a stock 2.1 phone with no root, but with S-off. *** B. APPLY THE OTA UPDATE *** Instructions already here - *** C. LET'S GET ROOT BACK! *** 1. Go back to the Unrevoked Forever site public:forever [RootWiki] and download this file: http://downloads.unrevoked.com/forever/recovery/clockworkmod/PB31IMG.ZIP (You'll notice that this is the same filename as the one you downloaded from Adrynalyne's site, which is why I suggested putting them in separate folders on your computer, remember?). 2. Copy this file WITHOUT CHANGING THE NAME to the root of your SD card. It'll ask you if you want to overwrite the existing file, and you do want to. 3. Unplug your phone from your computer and reboot your device into HBOOT by removing the battery, inserting the battery, pressing VOLUME DOWN, and pressing POWER (just like you did above). 4. When prompted "Do you want to start update?", press VOLUME UP for Yes. 5. When prompted again "Do you want to reboot device?", press VOLUME UP for Yes. 6. You now have ClockworkMod Recovery back. 7. Now, download the following two files: http://bit.ly/su234ef and MEGAUPLOAD - The leading online storage and file delivery service. You'll have two more files: "payload-update.zip" and "su-2.3.4-ef-signed.zip". 8. Plug your phone back into your computer and copy these two files to the root of your SD card. 9. Unplug your phone from your computer, and turn your phone off (pull the battery out and reinsert). 10. Press and hold the Volume Down and Power at the same time to boot into HBOOT. 11. When the white HBOOT screen appears, use the volume button to move down to "RECOVERY". 12. Press the Power button to select "RECOVERY". 13. Once in recovery, choose "install zip from SD-Card", then choose "payload-update.zip". 14. Hit the power button to go back to the previous screen. 15. Choose "install zip from SD-Card", then choose "su-2.3.4-ef-signed.zip". 16. Hit the power button to go back to the previous screen. 17. Select "Reboot device now". Congratulations! You now have a fully rooted 2.2 Froyo Incredible, and you didn't have to wipe your data... it's right where you left it. The only quirk some have found so far is that they had to reassign their custom ringtones.

i think it works on 1.4

^ I am also not able to callcof on pixi plus this was from verizon and currently i am on 1.3.5

extreeeeemly sorry Dhiraj bhai - that was stupid of me - clicked the wrong button accidentally - I really do regret this. BTW I think it will do good if you edit your posting asking those who upgrade to delete 'update.zip' from the sdcard , once the upgrade is over. Reason I'm saying this is that after upgrade I went to bootloader to check the hboot version without deleting first the 'update.zip' file, and it started running the update without any prompts whatsoever, and I had to jack the battery out. Again when I switched on the phone it started continuing with the update , I had to again pull out the battery, put the sdcard in another handset and delete the update zip file. Nearly had a heart attack, but as they say 'no excuses for ignorance'. Sorry again and thanks a lot. ananth

^ Thank You ananth001 for giving me a "-1" for helping you/others out (I presume you did it by mistake) @andy - why are u so afraid; ,max that will happen is that u will loose root... thats it... Its a painless process, however its not possible for me to spoonfeed... u need to take ur own risks in life...

Let us make our premise of dicussion clear. 1) Privacy in electronic era is just superstitious. Anything and everything can be recorded and relayed with minute sensors. 2) What Govt. is asking is what already your telecom operator/application provider can see? Nothing more...... If you can trust those money-minded corporates(Verisign, Airtel, RIM, Google et.,), you can easily trust our Govt. 3) Security needs are becoming paramount. Terrorists are becoming tech-savvy. 4) Key communication equipments and its control(read as software) are sourced from outside the country With above premise, what Govt does is correct imho.

yes it will work with Reliance CDMA with 1x data !
