Droid Incredible 2 OTA Update Going out

[WenWM]

HTC and Verizon are known for their quick updates to the latest software; their Droid Incredible 2 should now be getting Google's latest. This update was reported/rumored on Friday to be coming soon, and it is already out. The update is reported to be around 115MB, so you're certainly going to be downloading a big package. Droid-life says for rooted devices, this updated should be avoided because you'll lose your root.

Ahh, but there is no way to avoid Verizon updates. I have a droid x. It was rooted. Great phone and loved it. Then one day the gingerbread update AUTOMATICALLY DOWNLOADED AND INSTALLED. Couldn't do anything about it. The phone has had issues ever since. Terrible lag, keeps rebooting, camera and camcorder have serious issues. I was going to get the inc2 to get root back but when I saw they were going to force out gingerbread, I said forget it. Who owns this phone anyway? Must be Verizon and moto since they are controlling it.

Loose your root. That doesn't sound like any fun . . . dancedroid

On the droid x update, the only this.g hou could do was delay the update. You could not stop it. I hit that button a few times. But woke up the next morning and found the update downloaded and installed.

Mine is downloading now. Kinda bummed, I was hoping for a first post on this..lol.

Only thing I see that is obvious is a "quick settings" option in the notification pull down. It's a separate tab that is basically a power widget. Haven't seen a way to change it yet. Download and install was about 10 minutes for 116.03 mb. I'll post more if I find anything. Going to reboot now and look for an option to unlock the bootloader. Fingers crossed!

Still locked. No option I can see otherwise.

Have it installed on my Inc2. Meh, looks the same so far. Underwhelming, unless there's something new I haven't played with yet.
