Gingerbread coming to Incredible 2

[caviman2201]

Didn't the Bolt's update go out at 8pm ET on Friday? Maybe they'll release then to encourage people to update at night when network traffic is low...

I think it's done alphabetically and by height.

But seriously, has the date of the update been formally confirmed? You know how we in the Android community thrive on rumor and tiny bits of information.

I have not read anything announcing an official date. July 11th was put into the subject of this thread but the OP never stated where they got that date from.

Sure, the release is imminent. But specificly??????? Still we can hope VZW will throw us a July surprise.

So Gingerbread with an unlocked bootloader and the ability to easily uninstall all the bloat VZW installs?

That would be a miracle....not just a surprise...

Well, HTC did say they will have all bootloaders unlocked by the end of the year.

And there is no official word that it was even coming out today.

If you ask VZWSupport on Twitter you get the answer of "It's being pushed out today, but you will be notified of it via message"

So it's coming today, but no time.

Think those of us that used AlphaRevX to get s-off will have an issue?

You'll lose root if you install. Possibly, don't quote me. But possibly brick your device too. Not sure on that but you will lose root.

So if I decide I want the OTA (not likely since I don't want to not have root again) I'll have to run AlphaRevX to put the phone back to s-on, grr.

Ah ok thanks for the clarification, did not know that.

I just asked them on Twitter if it will have an unlocked bootloader

HTC Droid Incredible 2 Gingerbread Update Rolls Out

No new info there. And since it ends with "Have a good weekend folks" one can assume this was from Friday (along will all of the other news regarding GB on the DInc2).

 

[PhiPsi32]

True. But I try to remain cautiously optimistic.

Screw the bootloader, will all the HTC widgets work after this update...

No update yet on West Coast.
