I think your only option w/out using a pc is to go to Verizon and have them update it. If there is another way someone please correct me.

I think he may be past the OTA window.

You could root and then download the PB31IMG.zip which would load Froyo and un-root you at the same time.

Here is a link to the PB31IMG.zip image you would flash it in HBOOT after using Unrevoked to root your phone.

Very good directions on how to root and un-root are here

The rooting process will require a PC or Mac so I don't know if this will help you or not. Otherwise I would agree with mclarryjr and take it to a Corporate VZW store with a technician. The ones with tech's are listed on their web site. They can re-flash you, but back up all your data first.

I have the same problem with my Dinc. It has never had an OTA update, as far as I can tell. I tried to load Froyo manually back in October, but I wasn't able to because I was missing an earlier OTA. This is what my phone is running:

Firmware version
2.1-update1

Baseband version
1.00.03.04.06

Kernel Version
2.6.29-cc1c2268
htc-kernel@and18-2#1

Build number
1.22.506.0 CL161493 release-keys

Software number
1.22.605.0

Browser version
Webkit 3.1

PRI Version
1.28_002

PRL Version
52257

ERI Version
5

Can anyone help?

Thanks

Verizon wont do updates. They can't be held responsible should something go wrong. A tech person might say how but they won't do it. I am in Arizona and stores here don't mess with the updates.

I bought my wife a Dink off eBay and it had 2.1-update1 installed. My daughter bought her Dink from Verizon in December and it came with 2.2. I tried to update my wife's Dink using the other file suggestions but it would never flash and update. Then I saw this link to use this file; PB31IMG.zip I formatted the micro SD card to FAT32 and moved the file to the card. Booted up and the file was recognized and installed itself. Now my wife has 2.2.1 installed and everything is working fine. Thanks for the tip.

Unroot Doid Incredible. | doug piston

Ignore everything above the RUU section and follow the RUU instructions.

What you want to do is download HTC Sync. Disable your Antivirus software just in case. Install it on a Windows XP 32-bit computer. After it is installed plug your Incredible in via USB and let it load all the drivers. Then download the RUU file and run it. Follow the instructions on screen.

It will wipe all your data but you will have the latest stock update on your phone.


Edit: sorry I realized you said WITHOUT a PC. You can follow the method above the RUU method in that same link. You will need a way to get that file on the root of your SD card though.
