this isn't for rooted phones nor is it a rooted version. it's an untouched copy of the OTA cache file. my phone is unrooted and it took the update (Google Movies download just fine, aka verifies unrooted). renaming the file to update.zip just automates the update... saving you from navigating any prompts.

I previously installed the latest leak. Do I need to delete some files to get this to work? It still looks for the old file that I already deleted from the root directory. Thanks

Any tricks on getting the ota feed for your devise any quicker (ie: restarting your device, etc.)?.... Some way to make your phone search for the feed?
Or, is the update simply pushed, and there's nothing to do but wait???

I was just curious. I replaced my Incredible with the Thunderbolt. I still have my DInc, but it does not have service through Verizon anymore. I can use my Incredible on WiFi, and update Market apps and such, but my question is, will I be able to receive the update, or will I have to download and flash the OTA file once it is released?

I got the .2 to .3 ota update and caught the dl location! Wohoo!

I/SystemUpdateService( 240): starting download of http://android.clients.google.com/p..._WWE_4.06.605.3-4.06.605.2_release_211679.zip
I/update.Download( 240): Started a new update download: http://android.clients.google.com/p..._WWE_4.06.605.3-4.06.605.2_release_211679.zip


Update: I had trouble after downloading with my phone not wanting to reboot. I canceled the install, downloaded the update myself, renamed the file update.zip and placed it in the root of my SD card and flashed using hboot.

Update from .2 to .3 was successful.

Muddy, does this version in the about phone, hardware information section, does it say the correct display instead of the 4.3 inch screen which we know is not right

No. still says 4.3 inch WVGA resolution .

I'd take screen shots but I'm at work right now and not rooted.


EDIT: I never did the ota install from froyo to gingerbread though. I updated from 4.06.605.2 to 4.06.605.3 . I'm not sure if that might have different results.

Ok, i just wanted to make sure my version said the same thing as this file, check if you get the low space error message still.

I have but it only stayed for about 20 seconds before it took care of itself. It was a lot worse on froyo, IMO.

Once while rooted I noticed the application space available was only 312Mb or 368Mb. I thought this was weird because It has 512Mb but 736Mb if you look at apps2sd. Anyhow, my point being that when I approached that limit I've noticed the low space message obviously. I'm not sure why we can't use all of the 512Mb.

Does one have to have the phone activated on VZW to get this update or can you turn it on a use wiFi to get this? Once its been pushed to everyone of course.

I'm having an issue with the download link. Try to install and it errors on me. Oh well, I'll wait til it gets pushed to me.

Did you rename the file to update.zip or pb31img.zip before you tried flashing it?

I am trying to go from .2 to .3 and cannot get it to work when I flash it in hboot. I renamed it update.zip. Hboot says something about PB31IMG.zip than goes back to the hboot screen and nothing happens.

I'm assuming you placed this update.zip in the root of your SD card?

Froyo to gingerbread you should rename the file update.zip

.2 to .3 should be renamed update.zip

That is what worked for me at least.

***update*** whatever file you need will need to be renamed update.zip.

Check to make sure you didn't leave the old pb31img.zip on the root as well as this new update zip

Mine flashed pb31img on the few first line until it found the update.zip file.
