I'm picking up 3 Sensations for free come the fathers day sale any phone free on June 18th. Later Verizon. I switched from my G1 to the Incredible. Sorry Verizon I'm heading back to No-Mobile.

[Droid Incredible Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] beatlesfan01:
I upgraded from the dinc to the inc 2. I'm back to the dinc and I just sold the inc 2 on ebay. The inc 2 has a signed bootloader, and it doesn't look like it's getting cracked anytime soon. Plus the dev community for it won't be that good. It was released 6 months too late.

First Post!

The Dinc is plenty fine for me, no plans for a change until the dual cores start rolling out.
[Droid Incredible Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] TheWhiteBandito:
We should all move to the next dual-core, 4G HTC phone that comes out. I feel like that that is the logical move for all of us inc owners. Especially now that HTC is no longer signing bootloaders, they definitely have my vote as favorite phone manufacturer right now.
[Droid Incredible Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] kthung:
Every time I flash a new ROM its like I'm getting a new phone. I'm currently using the DInc with Uber Kingdom 3D Sense 3.0. The next phone that I will be moving to is a DInc with sense 4.0 ;)
[Droid Incredible Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] GatorsUF:
Is vzw replacing Dinc with Dinc2 for insurance or warranty?
[Droid Incredible Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] renzo.olivares:
probably insurance
[Droid Incredible Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] mixedlemon:
I'm receiving a new device sometime next week (I hate that there's no mail over weekends). In the VZW store they didn't mention anything about getting a different device than the incredible so I'm not expecting any different but I'll post here if I find an Incredible 2 in the box or something.

EDIT: Got it today. No Inc2, although I did get an AMOLED screen.
[Droid Incredible Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Ricbon:
so true !! and for that very reason i can last with this phone for a while longer, i guess till devs start moving along to other phones. Nothing out there, no thunderbolt or dinc2 has WOWED me like the original. Nothing yet at least for me has been a worthy successor, and i have my free upgrade now and my credit come aug 1st. i only wish for a stock duel core big beautiful screen from htc on verizon.
[Droid Incredible Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] V0latyle:
I personally have no reason to get rid of my HTC Incredible. Very fast, very capable for what it is. Radio isn't the best, trackpad is funky, bluetooth doesn't seem to work as well as my Motorola A855, but hey. I still have unlimited data, and I'm not about to change my plan anytime soon. If it comes time to upgrade, and there is something worth upgrading to, I can wait. This phone is pretty robust, tough screen and tough body, and the digitizer is easy to replace so I'm going to be keeping it for a while. I will buy something faster eventually, but I will buy it out of contract, for less than retail. That's what I did with my DInc...paid $255 for a brand spanking new phone. Seal sticker on the box wasn't even broken. Just moved it onto my existing line, replacing my Droid.

4G? Meh. I don't need that kind of speed. It only seems like a marketing gimmick to me at this point. Besides, they charge you extra to use something that's supposed to be the next generation of mobile wireless access. Then, they limit how much you can use it...WTF? I thought LTE was designed to be cheaper per bit of data handled. I can understand trying to prevent people from hogging bandwidth, but seriously...there are many of us with unlimited 3G contracts, and the network seems to be doing just fine. It comes down to the carrier just leveraging their ability to change things as they see fit to make more money.
[Droid Incredible Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] rheno:
I just ordered a Samsung Charge because I had an upgrade that I wanted to use before Verizon started tiering data plans. That and because I wanted 4G, a front camera, and HDMI output. The sales rep told me I would be locked into unlimited when 4G rolls my way. But as soon as HTC brings dual-core 4G, that Sammy is gone.

I was looking at upgrading to a LTE phone before Verizon gets rid of unlimited plans but I want to be able to root and change ROMs easy like my incredible.

I'll probably wait for dual core and LTE chipsets that don't scarf down batteries like a world champion hot dog eating contestant.

4" is the perfect size IMO.

Also it looks like the Thunderbolt is out for now seeing how ProTekk (one of the devs supporting it earlier in this thread) has returned to us from its dev scene bearing tales of bad news.

We need a new good option! I wholeheartedly agree that most of these newer phones are extremely lackluster in terms of the "oooh ahhh" factor that the incredible brought to verizon/the android environment. Cmon HTC bring on the big guns! And make sure the bootloader is unlocked while you're at it :)

Hopefully, we will have 4G LTE here in Asheville, NC by the end of the summer. I'm still gonna hold out until my contract is over though. Nothing that has been announced or even talked about seems like a major enough upgrade to me. I'm REALLY hoping that by the time I do upgrade, they will have a stable dual-core or better phone and that LTE will have most of it's issues worked out.

[Droid Incredible Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] AJGO23:
I live in Asheville too! From what I've heard LTE will be available here by the end of this year, but I'm hoping sooner than later. And from recent rumors on BGR, the next Nexus phone is going to be a beast and will probably have 4G LTE so that means Verizon. I hope so, because Verizon needs to step up their game and get a pure Google device. Just my $0.02.
[Droid Incredible Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] jra716:
I find myself buying phones off people for cheap after the phone has been released for a year. That way, there isn't much wait to access to ROMs, kernels, etc. I think I'd take the plunge and buy the next latest/greatest HTC phone on Verizon with LTE with Sense 3.0. I LOVE Sense 3.0 and feel like I can't go back to AOSP/stock. :D

Oh yeah. BTW. Hello everyone, this is my first day posting here but not the first day reading. I need to get these posts in so I can join in on the commenting in the dev sections. ;).. oh. have to also wait 5 minutes between posts to prevent spam. While I wait, I'd like to throw how a little history on the phones I've went though. I started with the Eris but the screen was just a bit too small but still great. The OG Droid was one of my favorite phones and truly classic. I then exchanged it for a Droid 2. That's when I realized I just couldn't stand locked bootloaders. Exchanged my D2 for a DX which I currently use along with my DINC I recently bought. Loving Uber Kingdom Revolution 3D RLS7 on it and working on conditioning my new cheapo $10 extended battery for it. :eek:

I ended up with the droid charge. I was dead set on the thunderbolt, but after playing with it, I decided to wait out the time between now and when the HTC sense 3 phones cone out with the charge and experience something different.

my thoughts so far:

touch wiz is garbage.

my solution was to root it, and flash an asop rom then run go launcher. And to be perfectly honest.. this phone is simply amazing like this. Its no sense phone. but its pretty damn bad ass. the screen resolution and clarity and color accuracy is bar none, and its wicked fast with go launcher on an asop build.

Samsung actually has a great dialer and that was retained in the asop build Im on (called gummy charged). Its much better than HTCs dialer.

mostly I am impressed with the awesomeness of the super amoled plus screen. it really is an amazing display.

The charge has hdmi out which is pretty bad ass. I was watching netflix from my phone on my 52in LED tv and it was a very acceptable experience.

i do miss my incredible, but mostly because of sense, and the great xda community we have, however, I am enjoying learning the ins and outs of a new manufacturer.

Rooting is just as easy, and while the custom rom arena is still new, it seems to be gaining traction with some very talented dev's popping up.

overall, if you get the phone. dump Touchwiz asap, root it, and get a cool launcher. I was using launcher pro for along time, and then i stumbled onto go launcher and it is superior in my opinion. It just as so many cool features, i love it. I really enjoy the phone with this setup.

also, you have to convert the file system (a simple mod called voodoo does it) and it makes it just as fast, if not faster than the thunderbolt. Currently I am enjoying a very fast, butter-silk smooth UI experience, and when you combine it with the awesome screen.. its really something.

and finally.. the thing ebays for like 100 bucks more than the thunderbolt. I got mine on upgrade for 299, and I can easily sell it for 550. plenty to buy the next gen HTC phone next month (or maybe the next month...)
[Epic 4G General] TimidBull:
I am sorry if this has been asked and answered, I've been searching the forum board for 4.5 hours trying to find the answer or some sort of point in the right direction. If you know the thread to answer my question, please don't flame me, just point it out...

With that said...

I attempted to upgrade my epic 4G from EB13 to EC05 last night. I did this with Odin3, everything said it passed no problem. Yet, it did not work. It would get to the Samsung screen then vibrate, pause, vibrate, pause, then nothing, just stayed there.

I followed the directions to flash the original EB13 that was on the phone to begin with. I followed the directions exactly, Odin failed, big surprise right? Now, Odin simply verified the MD5 said it was good and stopped. Now my phone just gets the 'phone-!-computer' icon, I can still boot into the downloading screen, but am unable to get Odin to do anything, am I missing something, or is there anything I can do to remedy this? :confused:
[Epic 4G General] TimidBull:
OK, I just tried the Samsung updater for eb13 and it failed at param.lfs

I am befuddled...:eek:
[Epic 4G General] Esteway.619:
Try downloading the tar file for odin again and see ifthat works u might have a bad tar file
[Epic 4G General] mattallica76:
It's worth a try but the Samsung updater has it's own tar already. I think the answer he's looking for is in the Wiki.
[Epic 4G General] TimidBull:
I've searched through the wiki. Am I missing something? I find the root/recovery programs, they all say how to root, but I am not finding how to recover. for example, "One Click Root and Recovery", even though I cannot boot my phone, will it still recover? I tried it in the download screen, but it does not connect. How do I use these to recover?
[Epic 4G General] TimidBull:
I tried redownloading the tar again, SPH-D700-EB13-8Gb-REL.tar.md5, but I get the same result, Odin checks the file says it's OK then stops doing anything.

Am I using the incorrect tar? is there a tar that's not an MD5?
[Epic 4G General] qbking77:
Are you using your stock samsung cable?
[Epic 4G General] mattallica76:
From the Wiki-

"If you get a FAILED error after it writes "param.lfs", try this method:

1. Reboot the phone and reset Odin

2. Load the pit file and place the tar in the Phone section

3. Start the recovery

4. The process will hang while writing "factoryfs.rfs"

5. Reboot the phone and reset Odin

6. Load the pit file, place the tar in the PDA section, and start the recovery again

7. It should now complete in about 3 mins.

8. Congratulations! Thank noobnl

If that doesn't work, take out the battery and reboot into download mode with only the usb cord plugged in."
[Epic 4G General] Esteway.619:
Are u in download mode? (#1 on keyboard + power button) and are u putting the tar file under PDA?
[Epic 4G General] KennyG123:
Remove the .md5 extension...it messes up Odin.

Do you BONSAI?
[Epic 4G General] Overstew:
This right here, The tar will be tar.md5, simply remove the .md5 from the end and try it.

Odin gives me problems on certain PCs too, if you have another computer, give that a go.
[Epic 4G General] TimidBull:
I tried this already, same result after 25 attempts.

Yes I am in download mode, yellow work sign with digging android, "Downloading... Do not turn off Target.

Also yes, to placing the tar under PDA and using the stock cable, plugged directly into a directly soldered motherboard USB port
[Epic 4G General] TimidBull:
I am waiting for the tar to redownload, as soon as it does, I'll remove the .md5 extension.

I was trying to bonsai, that's how I got all screwed up. :-P
[Epic 4G General] TimidBull:
Well....that didn't work.

Trying it now with the victory pit, and th eb13 tar. without the .md5 extension.

I attempted this 10 times with the same result.
[Epic 4G General] TimidBull:
Hmmm...progress

Damn....phone shut off.

Trying again.
[Epic 4G General] styckx:
How did the phone shut off with a USB cable plugged in it? That makes no sense unless you have a really really bad cable.
[Epic 4G General] TimidBull:
I was just reading a post in which the user had used odin to put on d18 and he had no issue. Would this be detrimental to my phone since I started with eb13?

Do I need a different pit file instead of the victory_8G_100528.pit?

This is my first Android, been a Palm guy for years, but after my pre problems, I made the change. Theoretically going to older version shouldn't hurt, but I wanted to be sure.

One last thing, I seem to currently be getting to the datafs and nothing seems to happen after that, it's been about 10 minutes in this state, normal?

Thanks all for the help and assistance so far! it is much appreciated.
[Epic 4G General] TimidBull:
no idea how it shut off, it was on download screen, then black. took out battery, set back into downloading mode (#1 and power), now back at the datafs point, waiting...

oh, and the cable is brand new, using my wifes cable from her two day old epic.
[Epic 4G General] TimidBull:
WOOOHOOOOOHOOOOOOO!!!!!!!

Now I have to update it I suppose. :-)
