[Q] 2.3 to 2.2. havent seen this

[kendall316]

hey guys I have a question. I know people ask over and over if you can go back to 2.2 but i found something out last night. Ive had 2.3.3 since i got from verizon. Somehow last night my phone was all messed up and i had to do a factory reset and go through the process of reactivating the phone and such. My Point is when i did the first boot after the reset, It did the verizon OTA update to 2.3.3. Is there anyways to stop it from automatically doing that? Like maybe maybe turning it off when it starts to do it or something. Just trying to help everybody out and see if its possible so we can keep 2.2 on our phones to get root until there is a root for GB. Any devs or or users experienced with the DINC2 let us know

If this is really bumping it down to 2.2, put the phone in a static bag. The static bag will block signals. Most of them are translucent so you can still see the display. Make sure you close the bag as much as possible.

lol anyone else will to try it too? it took me 3 hours last night to get all my apps back and get my phone back the way it was. Anyone in to help the team?

also a thought on that note. what if you did it with the back off? the back has the antenna built in so if its off and you dont have any signal would that also work?

 

[kendall316]

damn it. I just tried it. i had the back off so there was no signal so i dont think it completed the update but i still have 2.3.3 if anyone wants to try the static bag thing be my guest.

It just says "updating software information from verizon". with the back off. i tried pulling the battery during it and restarting but it still does it again when booted back up

Are you sure it went back to 2.2? If it came with gingerbread maybe the update is the second gingerbread update pushed OTA.

yeah it musta been the 2nd update. Did it again without programming the phone or anything and it still says 2.3.3. but idk if that verizon update is going through or not cause it doesnt say completed or not

I had this theory earlier too. Whatever update this is, it's stored in memory somewhere rather than being downloaded. I'm in Abu Dhabi, no way Verizon is doing anything to my phone over the air.

Mine came with 2.2 stock but I am almost certain when the update is done to 2.3, all the 2.2 information is overwritten and/or deleted. I'll give it a whirl later when I get home to see if it works but I am almost certain its a nogo off the bat.
