Update: How To Manually Install Droid Incredible Updates


UPDATE:
Thanks to users at Android Central there is a manual way to install this update if you haven’t received the OTA update. Keep in mind, if you are rooted you will not need to use this method nor do you need the update. Why? Because it will ruin your device!

Here are the installation instructions found at Android Central

1. Grab the OTA file here from here
2. Make sure it’s named update.zip
3. Copy it to the root (base directory) of your SD card. Don’t put it in any folders, and don’t put it on the internal memory.
4. Shut your phone off
5. While holding the volume down button, turn the phone back on.
6. In the white Bootloader screen, select recovery from the list.
7. In the recovery screen (the triangle with exclamation mark), press volume up and power. You’ll go to the recovery menu.
8. In the recovery menu, select “apply sdcard:update.zip”
9. The phone will find the file, and when finished prompt you to reboot. Reboot via the menu, then patiently wait for the phone to reboot, and enjoy.

Thanks to Android Central for sharing the information on the web!
