I was rooted with stock 2.2 on my incredible, and decided I was going to unroot so I could grab the maintenance OTA, however since I did so my phone is stuck at 2.1, and is not receiving any updates, not froYo, none of the 2.1 updates, and of course not the new OTA. Any ideas?
 
They might have pulled the 2.1 update from being an OTA update. You may have to download the 2.2 RUU to update your phone (it will wipe it...) and then you can grab the latest 2.2 update for all the bug fixes
 
You guys should really be putting these threads in the Rom/Hacks forum ....

You shouldn't have done that. If you were already rooted, you could have installed the OTA just fine. Since you were already S-off, all you had to do was re-flash Clockwork and su to restore true root status.

You're not receiving any OTAs because they stopped pushing out the original 2.2. As posted, you need to flash the original 2.2 RUU. You can then either root and then install the update and then go back to root status as I described above, or you can just accept the OTA without rooting and wait for unrevoked to patch their method..

I was pushed the update while rooted with stock 2.2, however it wouldn't install. Following a misinformed friends advice, I unrooted.

Upon trying to flash the 2.2 RUU i'm being told it isn't there in hboot now.

Did you re-name to PB31IMG?
 
**PLEASE HELP**

I made the mistake of un-rooting and installing the new update for my Dinc. I no longer have S-Off and am unable to boot into Clockworkmod Recovery. I have tried to re-root using Unrevoked3 without any success. I've also tried flashing recovery without any success. Anytime I go to do something in recovery, I now get this error: " E:Can't open /cache/recovery/command". I then hold the vol-up and power and try to load the recovery file and get an error saying: "Install from sdcard. Finding update package, opening update package. E:failed to verify whole-file signature, E: signature verification failed, Installation aborted."

I have tried to go back to stock 2.2 so that I can hopefully root again. I put the update.zip file on the root of my SD card and go to recovery on my phone, getting the same error above, so I vol-up and power, then select the "install sd card update file" but get an error saying something like," ro.build.fingerprint=verizon_wwe/inc/inc/inc:2.2/FRF91/231334:user/release-keys invalid. Installation aborted."

Is there a way of downgrading the update? Can I re-root, or do I have to wait and hope the Unrevoked updates to be compatible with the Dinc update?

Thanks for any help.
 
It looks like I'm going to have to acquire the 2.1 OTA's somehow in order to implement the 2.2. I'm having no luck finding them anywhere, and I forget if there was just one or if there was multiple. Anyone know where I can find them?
 
After a lot of messing around and re-rooting to get things in the proper state I was able to get the stock 2.2 RUU up and going. Thanks for the help and for telling me I f'ed up where I needed to hear it.
