Don't accept the update until you hear from other people what happens. Many times something like that can make you lose root but not always. So be daring if you wish, me no.

I have never heard of an S-Off preventing OTAs on any HTC device. I know if you are on a custom ROM, OTAs from Verizon will not be pushed to your phone.

WTH kind of update is that? I mean seriously, an update to a accessibility feature that you can get from the play store if you were even interested in such a thing??? SMH
Maybe they locked the gsm part of the phone has anyone tried a different network after the update?

Just for sh*ts and giggles, I locked my device back up, performed the RUU, went back to S-On and then took all the updates up to this new update and then tried to Moonshine again...it was successful. I'm back to S-Off, unlocked and 2.07.605. Apparently, Verizon didn't fix the exploit in this update. So unlike them.
I'm stock and downloaded the update. It havent installed it yet. Where do I find it? I can upload it if anyone wants to take a look at it.

Explains the htcdm error I was getting this morning. On a custom Rom. I never plan on taking any Verizon updates again. Last one bricked my phone (2.06) glad I was able to eventually moonshine and get off their horrible software. As far as the sense 5 update coming I could care less. Been running a sense 5 Rom since the release of tranquil. Wouldnt be surprised to see the new one Rom ported over very soon. My bet is we see it before the update.

I didn't find it in either folder. Ill run moonshine tonight since its downloaded and get root. Maybe its hiddden in a folder that I can't see as a non root user.

Running latest ota rooted. When i do an update check it doesn't give the no updates available message, just returns to the check/status screen. I did ruu the 3.14 update but not the 4.0 one. Just thought it was weird since i normally get a message saying no updates avail.

This happened to me a while back, rebooting the phone fixed it.
Same after 2 reboots. Hope it gets future updates.
Same thing happens to me, even after a full reboot. Maybe it's a network thing.

Are you running a custom recovery? I've heard if you are on amon ra or similar recovery and not stock, then it won't let your phone update. Also if your HTC dev unlocked is another blocker. Must be stock to get ota's.

I don't think he needs the hboot. I think the radio is a must, the jury is still out on the ota kernel (boot.img). Some people say battery life is worse and others say it's better.
Go to the link below. Its the new place that has all the ruu.exe. The DLX folder on that site is the one for the HTC Droid DNA. They dont have the one with the latest OTA yet but they will soon.
http://androidfiles.org/ruu/
I have not been able to find a single post that definitively states this, but here's my experience:
Switched from Sprint to Verizon Friday the 15th, got a Droid DNA.
As I walked to my car, I saw it start an OTA update and didn't think anything of it.
Came here and researched root, etc.
Followed instructions in HTC DNA SuperCID thread, CID still = VZW_001
I guess if we have an new DNA running 2.04.605.2, we'll have to wait.
Thanks to all who do the hard work figuring this stuff out - I'll wait patiently with my fingers crossed.
Note: This is for DNA users who have successfully achieved superCID. If you have accepted the OTA without getting superCID FIRST, you’ll need to wait a little while longer, we have something in the works for you.....

I was also wondering whether there is a workaround to return to stock prior to the OTA, and simply downgrade to the point where we can get the SuperCID working.....
Gonna give that a try.

Hello xda. I just got a Droid incredible 4g lte today and I am loving it so far and hoping to get more in depth with it. But the first thing I must ask is how can I make the apps in my phone go default to the SD card, I have a 32gb SD card. I installed modern combat 4 and then followed by Nova 3, my phone canceled the Nova 3 download because of space problems. So I'm just wanting to have the big apps go to my Android/obb folder on my SD card but they won't. I tryed using es file Explorer to move the mc4 files to SD card then play it. But once I started the game it wanted me to download it.. Is there any way to fix this or will I need a rooted phone and some kind of Rom? Thanks for any help. All will be thanked.

Wow. Patience is a virtue. Yes, you will need to be rooted. If you just got the phone yesterday, hopefully you are still on build 2.17.605.2 or earlier.
I suggest that you look at the Droid Incredible 4G LTE Resource Index in the General area. That will point you to rooting methods, and there is also a link to Jose's SD Card Swap Mod that does exactly what you are looking for.

Thank you so much. And I got this phone from a pawnshop lol. It is on the version you said above and hboot 1.15. This is probably the best phone I have ever used, I really like how it has the adreno 225! Can't wait to unlock this baby and get to flashing! The previous phone I had was the HTC evo 3d. So I have experience with HTC phones, but this droid looks like it will be abit of a challenge to s-off. Hopefully I can find a perfect rom that won't require it. I like to use Windows but I think the only methods avaliable to s-off only work with Linux, and I by no means have experience using Linux.

Root it now and get on a ROM that isn't subject to the OTA before the OTA finds its way into your phone before it's too late!
I do recommend s,-off, as it makes like much easier. Try making an Ububtu Live CD and play around with it to see if you can get comfortable with it before trying DirtyRacun. You can also look at face palm method.

If you root and stay "rooted stock", you'll get the OTA. No bueño.
The 2.1.1 release of ViperLTE also gets the Verizon OTA notice. No bueño. If like Sense-based ROMs, I highly recommend the latest ViperLTE version 2.2.0, as it has setting to turn off OTA checks. I have not received an OTA notification since installing 2.2.0 and ticking that setting. I was getting them on 2.1.1.
I would fully expect that CyanogenMod to not get an OTA notice, either. However, I cannot confirm.

See here's the thing. I do not have this phone activated, I just use it on wifi. I tried updating the firmware but the checking for New update is there for a split second and goes away. Nothing else happens. So I guess this phone can't be updated. But i will unlock and install a rom asap.
Can you recommend a rom I use? Like jelly bean or Kitkat? Hopefully one rom here has sense 5 :sly:

I certainly will not allow this phone to get updated. So here's another question, would you say this phone is good for gaming? I got it cause of the adreno 225, my previous evo 3d had the 220. I'm also hoping that if I find a kernel that supports overclocking it can help things out. I want to match this phone up to the HTC evo 4g lte, which also has the adreno 225, but a 1.5 GHz dual core rather than 1.2.

I can't really answer that, as I do not use my phone for games. However, Jose has created a few overclocked kernels, and they are generally stable. 1.5 for sure, 1.8 *may* work, too.

When I said "must be done via fastboot" there, I meant that you must push the kernel via a fastboot command using the command line on your computer (e.g. CMD window) while the phone is in fastboot mode. This can be done in Windows.
