How did you get it to download BEFORE clicking the install button? I get the popup option, click install, the countdown goes to zero, and then nothing. No reboot, no install, no freeze, nothing.

OK, so I went through the whole download, not enough free space deal. Tried the checkin, move the date out, nothing worked. So I decided to do the recovery menu clear cache. Well, I clicked the wrong thing, and wiped the phone, thank god I keep my pictures on the SD card. However, halfway through re-installing all of my apps from the markets & amazon appstore I got the pop-up for the single 87 mb upgrade to 4.08, I clicked install, it counted down, rebooted (in a flash) took about 10-15 minutes to install. Haven't had any issued since.
So if you get the message for the 87 mb upgrade to 4.08 I would click install. Phone is now on 2.3.4.
Wait...so, HTC has just released the single OTA upgrade to Gingerbread?
We were told to wait 2 weeks; so, I wanna be clear about this.
I got that message several times. Clicked install, it counted down to zero and then..... zero. nothing. No reboot, no install, no nothing. 3-4 times now. I have no plan to do a factory reset to get this update -that is complete bulls#!t. I don't have a half a day to reconfigure the phone unless HTC/Verizon wants to pay me my normal bill rate.
From what I read here, it seems the 6.7 mb download is a patch for the 87 mb update from August, if you don't have that installed it the patch may not work.
So how do you get the 87 meg update? I was upgraded several months ago to the "broken" update. All I am getting now is the smaller update and that doesn't work no matter what I try to do. I have all but given up now and am pretty pissed!
Maybe it's best to just wait for the next OTA. Hopefully '3rd time is a charm,' and HTC finally gets the update right.
I tried to force the update and did a factory reset instead of a clear cache from the recovery menu. However if you have the broken update, and are willing to reinstall/re-tweak your apps, go for it. After I reset it the upgrade popup came up withing 5 minutes, and it was the new 87 mb downlaod. Phone is much faster than it was before so it's up to you.
So if I understand you correctly a factory reset then let the d/l come worked for you. I have so little on my phone I might just give it a try. Thanks.
