Rooted Incredible flashed to Straight Talk Stuck on 2.2

---

Hey guys. I've read that this is a common issue. I am rooted and stuck on 3.26 and I'm wondering if there's anything I can do to get it to update. It starts to download 4.08 but it doesn't reboot after I hit install. I read about loading stock roms but I'm not sure if I can do that being flashed to Straight talk. Anything will be appreciated! Thanks.

Well you should be able to flash any rom you want. Service and data settings are stored deeper than roms reach. The only way those settings will get wiped out is if you do a factory reset from hboot, or from the storage and sd menu within the os. If something at the os level is required, you can just backup before hand, and then restore if somethimg dosent work. You should just be able to flash the stock 4.08.605.15 rom in the dev section right over 2.2 without wiping anything if you want to stay stock.

The ota will not install because you are rooted. For it to imstall you must be unrooted and complete stock.

That being said i do not have straight talk, so i dont know all the details. You could use QPST http://dinc.does-it.net/QPST/ to backup all those settings to a file on your pc, and then restore them if something ever goes wrong.

Thanks so much! If I have any other questions when I do this can I PM you?

Sure no problem. I would definitley setup qpst and backup your service and data settings, and do a nandroid before doing anything.

How hard was it to get data working when you flashed it to straight talk, i heard that was the trickiest part? I am thinking of doing this my self. Verizons new plan just sucks for a 1 phone plan.

I didn't do it myself. I get all my phones from a guy that flashes them to ST and the data works perfectly . If you can figure it out or find someone who can its definitely worth it.

Just hook it up to qpst or cdma and you can get all the settings you need easy as 1 2 3
