Correct. To correctly apply the update, you have to restore all bloatware back to its original status, ie. all the original system apps and software must be present and functioning. To go back to root status, all you need to do is re-flash Clockwork and SU through HBOOT.

Trust me the OTA is CRAP.....let me reiterate ...CRAP !!

Avoid the update , its loaded with serious bugs.

If you have deleted the bloatware then just accept the update. It will time out, as it can't find a complete stock Rom, and then it won't bother you to update again.

I did this last week, and today it again informed me of an update. It seems to periodically check.

you can. you're not reading enough of the threads already on this issue. there is a very simple easy way to both block the update from installing and rid yourself of the message.

check the hacking forum.

In correct sir. That thread has been removed as a sticky, as that process no longer works. Renaming those two files does not stop the update prompt, and could actually lead to a host of problems, which includes the force closes of the whole Google framework on your phone.

 

[Knightslugger]

Wrong one. I'm talking about modifying the 'ro.build' line. that still works just fine.

renaming the files, correct, does no longer work.

here. let me go out of my way and find it for you.

 

[Knightslugger]

my god, it took 40 seconds.

Using Root Explorer, find this line (X's denote various numbers) :

ro.build.fingerprint=verizon_wwe/inc/inc/inc:2.2/FRF91/XXXXXX:user/release-keys

replace the X's with 264707

save and exit, and reboot.

wow, ok...2 seconds is REAL useful !!
They must have cut it down to some ******edly small file size then.

I used to be able to send up to 25Mb in video and now a short 10 second video won't even send !!!

Ggggrrrrrrrrr !! Piss on Verizon and their manipulation !!

Same here. I tried to run it last week and nothing happened(I am rooted). Tonight, the update prompt re appeared.

Then flash the old version back and quit whining!

There's no whining about it , I'm pissed !!

Ok, so tell me how to do that without rooting and destroying my phone !!

I already asked Verizon and HTC how to uninstall the update and they said it wasn't possible!!

1. Rooting does not destroy your phone. It's the easiest thing in the world to do, and the best thing that you could ever do for your phone- non-rooted users have no idea what they're missing out on. If you want to go back, go to shipped-roms.com and find the original 2.2 RUU for the Incredible.

"But they said it wasn't possible!"

Wah wah wah.

ANYTHING is possible, remember that.
