I downloaded the OTA zip file from the Internet and renamed it to UPDATE.ZIP and put it in the top level directory. I did the manual boot (down volume plus power button) and loaded the new update. That is a manual update that results in the exact same update as if VZW had sent it to my phone. Thus, there is a manual option. I did my Froyo update in the exact same manner a year ago.
Did it manually. Worked fine.

don't you have to go to the android recovery in order to recognize it?
Verizon has pulled back the OTA 2.3 android update. Check the link below.
Ummm.... No,
That would be for the Droid 2 Global:
"The update to Android 2.3 for the Droid 2 Global from Verizon has been stopped and suspended until further notice."
So should I have gotten the update for my Incredible?
its disgraceful that all these ginger bread threads are marked as SOLVED, I have yet to see a real solution
who does this marking?
Not to mention not everyone has even received the update.

the original poster asked if anyone had received the update yet. another member replied yes and that he had done it manually and went on to explain how. the original poster accepted that as a solution. and it's a pretty good solution if you ask me. no root required and you can install it yourself.....rather than waiting for the OTA (which could be a couple of weeks). they push these updates in batches over a 2-3 week period.
Help, my daughter just got her gingerbread update today 11/14/2011. My phone says my system is currently up to date but I don't have the new program what gives?
The update is rolled out in waves and can take a few weeks to filter to everyone. You just haven't gotten it yet. Have you tried to manually pull it down to your phone? Menu button > settings > software update > check now.

I'm most definitely NOT a VZW employee. If a post answered your question, please mark it as the answer.
