Rumor of Droid Incredible receiving update today

[iJason#WN]

Im tempted to try the one I saw on androidforums but don't want to mess up my radio.

all this talk about updates you would think this was the 9530 forum over at cb. lol im perfectly content with my dinc, now when froyo comes that'll be a different story,

The one thing that I can say with this phone is there is no necessity for the upgrade but the curiosity is still there.

The 720p recording would be nice.

Better off rooting and use wifi tether for free.

Can somone post or link to a step by step of how to manually do this? I have the file just cant get it to update. Thanks in advance.

EDIT: I figured it out. So far the update is working great for me.

 

[increditim]

did you root or did you download the zip file?

 

[iJason#WN]

Just downloaded the file, renamed it update.zip then ran it under recovery mode. Was un-rooted before the update and still am un-rooted. I'm not a fan on rooting.

Anyone who is rooted and what's this without it breaking root should go read up on XDA about this, there is some possible work arounds for it. And I'm sure that the Devs have already got it working with root or will soon enough!

I haven't tested it yet but I was wondering how much of a difference it is between shooting a video in 480 vs 720?

Just logged into my verizon wireless account and added the wifi hotspot feature. Did a *228 option 2, rebooted, still no update. Maybe tomorrow.

Where do you find the option for hotspot in My Verizon online? Could not find it in my stuff??

 

[Dheinle]

Logged into my business portal and went to add/remove features. It's called Mobile Broadband Connect/3G Mobile Hotspot. I had just the broadband connect feature before.

So it's going out?

I haven't been prompted to install yet.

 

[increditim]

my question has anyone gotten the ota yet or has everyone just downloaded the zip? i'm concerned about the zip because i read that it could cause problems if verizon makes modifircations when the update comes out. i also wonder if if violates your warranty. i know a lot don't care, but i might

I am not going to use the zip file that you mentioned about , I guess its a personal preference as to if you wish to or not I will wait for now that zip doesnt offer me enough "extra stuff" to make it worth it to me , lol

There was no released update yet that everyone expected that one has not happened .

I took my DInc into Verizon yesterday to show them a text thread dated "Dec. 31, 1969" and showed him you can't delete it or view it. He said he had seen that once before and said and I quote "it is a software glitch that should be resolved with the update coming in August." Please don't flame me I'm only sharing what he said and I know better than to put stock into what reps say because sometime they know less than we do. Just wanted to share that with you guys.

 

[iJason#WN]

I manually installed the update and its great. No issues at all.
