OTA Gingerbread!

[PvilleComp]

This is my first root. Can someone tell me which file folder the MD5 file is in?

Please read the instructions in this post and you will find the answer to your MD5 question.

It's not the wrong file - the file name is:
6f37e6f6b9ab.OTA_Incredible_C_Gingerbread_S_VERIZO N_WWE_4.06.605.3-3.26.605.1_release_210690.zip

As he said, there is no reference to Sprint -- I just loaded it; it's all good.

Except, well . . . after seeing Gingerbread on the DInc2, I'm very disappointed that the only visual improvement seems to be the flip clock that actually flips now. hehe

The notification pane doesn't have any of the goodies found on the DInc2 or other phones. Why?

 

[ashmostro]

Weird. Are the folks that reported problems loading the wrong ROM?

 

[jayman1972]

where the FRACK! is the root directory on the SD card?

 

[TimeHunter]

The real question is "Is it even worth updating to Gingerbread if I'm running Skyraider?"

 

[TBolt]

where the FRACK! is the root directory on the SD card?

Root is not a folder. If your SD card is named "F", root would be at F:\

Do not put the update.zip file in a folder.

Ok thanks

Please verify the following things:

Make sure you have the correct download. The full file name is listed in the Directions post on the first page.
SD Card is FAT32
The MD5 for the download matches the MD5 posted in the Instructions post
That the file name on your SD Card is update.zip; not update, update.zip.zip or any other variant. (You can boot your phone normally and use any file manager to look at the SD card)

If one of these things is not correct it will not work. This procedure works. It's been done by me personally several times today, and many others here have gotten it to work as well.

Be patient in HBOOT, it takes time for the process to read the card and find the file. The bigger your card/more stuff you have on it, the longer it will take.

Ok. I checked and again my card is FAT32, the file is named update.zip, the MD5 is exactly the same but I get nothing. HBOOT goes pretty fast and all I can read is the last line that says no image or wrong image.

I tried using recovery and I get Error in /sdcard/update.zip

What the heck is going on here?

 

[jayman1972]

Forget it. I'll just wait till Verizon pushes it my way. I've waited this long.

OTA works like a breeze. Had to uninstall and reinstall a couple of apps to get them working right.

 

[Pauly13]

is there a way to put it on the sd card without a computer?

At this point I would try a different SD card.

Manual Method worked great for me, no problems at all! ... Under Hardware Information it does say that I have a 4.3 inch WVGA Resolution display however. oh well ... maybe 2.3.5 will fix that

You can still force the update. Once you're in HBOOT, scroll down with VOL down to recovery. Hit the power button, It will reboot again and you will see an icon in the middle with a triangle and "!". Then push Vol up and Power at the same time and you will see a menu with blue wording. You scroll down to Apply update.zip from sd card. hit the power button and it should start!

This is what I ended up having to do after double verifying everything else. Worked fine.

 

[methodfx]

Nobody really had anything to say about how 2.3.4 changed things. So I will ... seems quicker (flipping the notification bar and going through the screens), The HTC Clock now actually flips, "3G Mobile Hotspot" is added to the apps as well as "V Cast Apps" and "Downloads". A new "Fast boot" and "Running services" are added to application settings. Long press on a contact allows you to send contact info as vCard. A long press on text allows some more options also. Just a few things I noticed. Hopefully improved battery life will also be among them.

Enjoy!

- For me... It breathed new life into an aging device

Well, tried that and it didn't work.

I get the same messages.

Last time I went into recovery prior to today was last year for Froyo.

Not sure but when I go to apply sdcard:update.zip I first get this:

E:Can't open /cache/recovery/command

Then it says Install from sdcard...

But always craps out at the same point.

Would there be anything in my software information that may show something is not right?

and the EVO, though very similar to the DInc has different hardware and incompatible kernels. If it was the EVO flash (which was done ages ago) it would not work at all.

This is true but there is still something definitely NOT right about this update

This is normal don't worry about it. I dont recall a manual software update on a phone when I DIDN'T get this error. You should still be able to manually flash the update from the boot-loader using volume up and power at the same time as you see the triangle to bring up the menu.

O ok trying to think of anything it could be. I still cannot get this to manually update.

Here is my current software info if that helps.

Baseband Version: 2.15.00.07.28

Kernel version: 2.6.32.17-g9a2fc16

htc-kernel@u18000-Build-149 #1

Build number: 3.26.605.1 CL264707 release-keys

Software number: 3.26.605.1

 

[YourMobileGuru]

That looks right but then I dont have anything to compare it to anymore since I upgraded mine already.
