root will block the update, atleast it did for me when i was running root and 2.2 came out. it will notify you but nothing will happen
So if my phone is rooted, I will not get the update notification? or I will get the notification, but it will not install? Just a bit confused reading this thread as I thought if I ran the ROM to get back to the stock 2.2 I would get the OTA when it came out. Has anybody that is rooted received the OTA and just let it run? Has anybody even received the OTA yet at all rooted or not?
As anybody tried the *#*#checkin#*#* trick now that it's known to be live? Just curious.
Hello, have not posted in a while. I am running unrevoked3 on my DInc 2.2 with the base stock rom. I really only use it for tether and TIBackup. Does anyone have a link to the XDA or any stock ROM of Gingerbread 2.3? If so what is the best process for me to install the ROM Gingerbread on my phone. Will my phone remain rooted? Is there any step by step instruction guide for this situation or a link that talks about it. Thank you in advance.

[ROM] Official INC OTA 4.06.605.3 - xda-developers
So I am rooted with S-off. Are there steps to installing this and is this pretty much the base 2.3 update are there any major bugs I should know about. I have never installed a ROM before any tips or things I should do in advance to make it go smoother? Will it wipe my data? Finally how does this differ from.

Thanks again.
Clockwork recovery will block the OTA from installing (you will still get the notification). You can flash the stock recovery if you really want the official ota then flash back clockwork and superuser after the ota installs if you are s-off. IMO will be much easier to just flash the rooted gingerbread rom over at xda.
Ah gotcha... I am S-OFF and have CWM installed. So it will be blocked then. But I still have not received the notification. So what are most waiting for then? If XDA has the official OTA, why isn't everybody just flashing that? Sorry don't mean to be ignorant, just curious. Are you waiting for somebody to take the OTA and do something different with it?

I just rooted this build this morning I have unrevoked 3 root and S-off
Everything went very standard.Very easy. Its runs very smooth but you do get the GPS nag screen and the patch will fix that.This is prerooted so no worries about loosing root.
I had the version 4.06.605.2 for two days till I installed this one and I didn't have to wipe anything but Delvic Cache. Just put the Rom on your SD card.Either boot into recovery or use CWM and select install update from sdcard and when it prompts you to backup and wipe do both. If something goes wrong you will have a backup.
Go to XDA web site and read some more to make sure you know what your doing before you start. If you have any doubt that is. Also the Volume up and down is the scroll through menu and the power is select. This for recovery menu.
Ok,I'll bite... What's s-off?
I just uploaded my OTA file to multiupload.com for the guys at XDA. This is the pure file, I haven't run the update yet.
4.06.605.3 update is hitting phones as we type! - Page 7 - xda-developers
They are comparing it to what they already had, so we should know soon if there are any differences.

Has the very update that is currently being pushed to phones been made a flashable ROM? I did know that they made ROMs based off older leaks, but is the latest, final OTA a flashable ROM?

Sad to report that my 5 week old replacement Incredible has died. The speaker has blown and hopefully when mine gets here it will have 2.2 so I can ROOT it so i can be rooted when I put the 2.3 back on it.
Was it meant to be? Maybe because I said i want 2.2 without a replacement device and nobody can help me. haha.
