Not sure where else to get CWM, I installed it through rom manager...maybe try installing older version in rom manager then installing newer version again? I just flashed the rominstaller.zip in cwm 2.5 but it's the "temp" 2.5 zip so it might still be different. It flashed ok but I don't think your issue is the installer.zip I think it's the createimg.zip. You could manually make them from terminal if you wanted to try it that way. Just run these commands:

cd emmc

mkdir rom1 (or rom2, rom3, rom4)

cd rom1

dd if=/dev/zero of=system.img bs=1M count=270

dd if=/dev/zero of=data.img bs=1M count=1000

dd if=/dev/zero of=cache.img bs=1M count=120

It's CWM 2.5.1! Tried it with no luck off and on all day. Flashed CWM 3....08 and now I have UD 3.3.0, gingershift, and synergy nightly as a phone Rom!

Sorry for the delay in reporting my findings....first nice weekend we have had here in Montana and my son insisted we spend it outside--not that he had to twist my arm too much ha ha...
[Droid Incredible General] Conap:
Thanks...I guess I should add this to the OP....
[Droid Incredible General] i5aac:
No worries ....i thought it would work also! Just glad I got it working! This is really cool!! How did you learn all of this?
[Droid Incredible General] TheWhiteBandito:
So just double checking, I can still use a ROM on the phone as normal, right? Like clearing dalvik cache in recovery will wipe the dalvik cache for the phone rom, correct? And if I wanted to change my phone rom, I can just wipe as normal and flash a new rom (and of course flash the phoneinstaller.zip file)?
[Droid Incredible General] T-Keith:
Maybe I've got something wrong here. After flashing a ROM and moving it to a slot, when I boot it goes into the ROM, but is missing the DRx2 app so I can't switch back, the BootRomX zips don't seem to work either. Plus the soft keys don't work in Synergy, probably unrelated.

What am I doing wrong.
[Droid Incredible General] i5aac:
Check your version of recovery...i fought the same issue for what seemed like an eternity!
[Droid Incredible General] Conap:
Lots of trial and error lol...

yes you are correct...

Make sure your using the latest version of the installer zips V5 I think....And also see what version of recovery your using like was said before.
[Droid Incredible General] trickster2369:
SUCCESS! Conap, thanks for doing this. This will be awesome now that I got it working.
[Droid Incredible General] TheWhiteBandito:
I guess my phone is really slow. I can't get it to boot using your V5 script, my logcat is below. I'm guessing that it's still not mounting in time, right?

$ ./adb logcat
- waiting for device -
- exec '/system/bin/sh' failed: No such file or directory (2) -
[Droid Incredible General] Conap:
Well it's either not mounting or the rom is not installed. I can't believe it would be that slow to mount it. What rom are you trying? What recovery are you using?
[Droid Incredible General] TheWhiteBandito:
I was trying CM7.0.3 stable. Using recovery 3.0.0.7 (AMOLED here). I tried 2 variations, first was just following the instructions as stated in OP, then rebooting. Second, I tried installing it normally (after a full wipe) and booting into the rom (which was successful), then running the rom1installer.zip. Neither worked.
[Droid Incredible General] Conap:
Can you try a sense based rom to see if it works when you get time...sense boots slightly slower giving it a little more time. Also if you want to send me the boot.img from CM7( it should be in emmc/rom1/boot.img) then I can make the sleep a little longer to see if that helps.
[Droid Incredible General] TheWhiteBandito:
I will try again soon, but it's late now, time to restore my nandroid for now heh. Thank you for making an awesome mod and helping me out. I'll let you know how SR4 goes when I get to it soon!
[Droid Incredible General] T-Keith:
OK, I installed clockwork 3 from ROM manager. I downloaded v5 and set up everything again. BootROM still doesn't work and phoneinstaller does not install the dRX2 app to the phone ROM so I can't boot into any of my ROMs. Is there any other way to do this, perhaps flash the app through a apk or something.

thanks,
[Droid Incredible General] Conap:
you can pull the app out of any of the installerzips under data/app

Edit: When you say the BootRom zips don't work do you mean they won't flash or it still boot's to the phone rom? Also what rom do you have installed to the phone that the phoneinstaller.zip is not working on?
[Droid Incredible General] trickster2369:
Last night I used the v5 version and successfully installed Synergy to rom1 on emmc. This morning I proceeded to set up rom2, 3, 4 on emmc. I did a restore of my cm7 and then flashed the rom2 install. It appeared to work like it should. I then rebooted and was once again stuck on the splash screen. Back to h-boot, recovery. Decided to wipe and then restore Newts gingersense. All was fine. Flashed the rom2 install for newts gingersense, and it appeared to work like it should. Then...I wiped one more time in order to restore cm7 to the phone before rebooting. While wiping data and cache, an error appeared:

E:can't mount /cache/recovery/command

E:can't mount /cache/recovery/log

E:can't open /cache/recovery/log

E:can't mount /cache/recovery/last_log

E:can't open /cache/recovery/last_log

Tried rebooting anyway to no avail

Batt pull, h-boot, recovery.

Same error list appears.

Now what?

EDIT: Apparently, I need to use both sides of my brain in order to function properly. Turns out that using the format functions under the mounts and storage menu item do wonders.
[Droid Incredible General] jsms0905:
im just making sure so i dont mess up. i have uber kingdom b2 on slot 2 and theres 2 new updates, the RLS1 and a RLS1.1 flashover. for me to properly get RLS1 to work, i must wipe everything, flash RLS1, reboot, and then flashover RLS1.1 . so my question is, if i reboot without assigning it the rom2updater and then flashover and THEN flash the rom2updater, will it work or what. what should i do. i cant flash rom and then the flashover in the same recovery.
[Droid Incredible General] Conap:
I'm assuming there's a reason you say you can't flash the rom and flashover in the same recovery? If that's the case then yes flash B3, then reboot, flash B3.1 then flash rom1updater. use the romupdater with the number of the slot the rom is in.
[Droid Incredible General] deficitism:
Just an FYI

If anyone has issues with extensive lag when running from a mounted EMMC image, format your internal storage (via the internal storage option) and start again.
[Droid Incredible General] jsms0905:
awesome thanks conap, that really helped. yeah there is, im not sure exactly but apparently, you have to let the rom settle and and load up everything, then flashover the update. ive heard it can break the rom or something if theyre done in the same recovery
[Droid Incredible General] Treken:
Conap, two questions...If I have to factory reset/wipe all user data, will I have to install create img for rom again and then my roms and then rom installers? Also, If I do a restore and then flash phone rom it erases my partitions created by dual rom in my emmc. How do I work around this? And my last question(sorry I had more than a couple,lol)if I want my everyday rom to remain without having to mess with it, should I just install it to slot one so it remains untouched and use the phone rom installer for betas or what ever? Thanks
[Droid Incredible General] Conap:
If you want to do a fresh install that would be equal to a factory reset/wip then all you need to do is use the rom1installer.zip's. All the img's get reformatted with that zip so it doesn't matter if they are new img's or not. Once the img's are created you don't ever need to delete them or remake them unless you just want them off the emmc storage.

Your second question I'm not sure about? Restoring your nand to the phone and flashing the phoneinstaller.zip on it should not affect anything on the emmc at all. Are you saying all your rom folders and img's are getting removed?

If you flash a lot of test rom's and beta's then it would probably be easier to keep your daily drive on one of the emmc slots assuming your not getting to much lag with it on emmc.
[Droid Incredible General] Treken:
Ok, I'll try again. I seem to be having trouble using version 5. I'm going to revert back to version 4 and try again. After install phone installer it keeps doing something and removing partitions in emmc. When installing roms do I wipe dalvik and cache each time? Maybe this is doing something to my emmc.
[Droid Incredible General] T-Keith:
I am trying to install Cm7, boot rom doesn't flash.
[Droid Incredible General] T-Keith:
I'm not sure how to pull the apk if I can't boot into the rom.
[Droid Incredible General] Treken:
Use root explorer/astro file manager and navigate to where the dual boot files are and extract the apk from phone installer then install it
[Droid Incredible General] Treken:
Conap, I can't get dual boot to install partitions to emmc. Can I do this manually? I install a rom and then use rom installer then flash another rom and flash phone installer, boot and use root explorer to navigate to emmc but don't see the partitions. I also try to boot into rom 1 via dual boot but says that there's no rom installed.
[Droid Incredible General] T-Keith:
When I go in emmc through astro there is only four .img files.

OK, to clarify: Boot1.zip says the following when I flash it:

assert failed:write_raw_image("/tmp/boot.img","boot")

E:Error in /sdcard/multirominstallersV4/boot-Rom1.zip

(Status 7)

Installation aborted

There was no bootrom files in V5, but I did redo the installations with V5. I then took my backup and flash rom1InstallerV5 and if I don't flash anything else I can boot it and have the DRx2 app, but I'm not really in my Emmc Rom1 right? When I used the app to boot rom 1 the phone got stuck in the bootloader, and now will not boot up.

Just to clarify, I have an AMOLED Incredible rooted with Unrevoked3(not forever) and Clockwork 3.0 installed.
[Droid Incredible General] Conap:
I'll attach it here and you can install it.

You can do it manually but none of the zip's can remove them so they must not be getting created. If you want to do it manually just open adb and navigate to emmc then :

mkdir rom1

cd rom1

dd if=/dev/zero of=system.img bs=1M count=270

dd if=/dev/zero of=data.img bs=1M count=1000

dd if=/dev/zero of=cache.img bs=1M count=120

Make sure you guys are using CWM 3+
[Droid Incredible General] Conap:
Yes after you flash rom1installerV5 and reboot you are in the emmc rom. There should be four img files in folder rom1/ on emmc. same for each rom you install. I'm not sure why it would get stuck when rebooting like that although if I want to boot into the same rom i'm in I use the normal reboot function of the phone. When you get stuck in bootloader you mean the actual bootloader not a splash screen right? If that's the case then it erased your boot.img and didn't flash the new one. I'm not sure why your getting the error with the boot-rom1.zip. I just flashed it again to triple check and it works good for me. I'm on CWM3.08.

Edit : If you mess with adb at all you can try this:

adb shell

mount dev/block/mmcblk0p3 emmc

flash_image emmc/rom1/boot.img

Then reboot the phone.
[Droid Incredible General] T-Keith:
All the boot img ROMs give the same error. Yes, it is stuck in the bootloader, not the splash screen or recovery. I am going to try flashing CM7 pushing it to EMMC 4 or something and seeing if I can get back to EMMC1. Does it matter that I didn't use Unrevoked Forever?
[Droid Incredible General] Conap:
Honestly I don't know the difference between forever and the one you used? are you s-off? it's possible that you can't flash a boot.img with the flash_image binary without having use unrevoked forever. I would test the theory by running the commands I posted above to try flash the boot.img. If it doesn't let you then this system won't work because it really depends on being able to change the boot.img at any time.
[Droid Incredible General] T-Keith:
After flashing CM7 and pushing to slot 4 I am stuck at the HTC incredible splash screen. I will try unrevoked forever and see if that makes a difference.

[HTC Inspire 4G] LaGeek:
Not sure if this is the right forum, but looked like accessories was the best bet.

Im looking at 32G cards, but open to 16 as well. Just switched to Android, so would be good to know others experiences, and whether there is something I cannot do with a Class 4, for example or whether you see any lags with other cards you have used etc, or if a specific class is needed for using some specific feature?. I did do a search, and didnt find anything, maybe I missed it. Might be useful to have a thread regarding people's experiences..

Any suggestions/recommendations for what I should be looking at?

I have read that the Partiot/Adata/Wintec cards are not too reliable, though their prices for a class 10 are much lower..But I dont want to go through the hassle of returning/copying data, so I am thinking Class 4 is enough.

Here is one option, Sandisk 32g, doesnt say class 4, but some reviewers mention it is actually class 4. At the same time, some mention they got Class 2. Cannot post a link since I don't have 8 posts yet:)

Search for SDSDQ-032G-A11M, US Retail Package on Amazon, maybe someone else can add the link! Its for ~62, shipped from Amazon.

Thanks for your help!

I'm rocking the Patriot LX series 16gb as well. Class 10 and with transfers(usually 3-5 gigs) I'm hovering around 8-9mb/s.

EDIT: If you live by a Frys Electronics, I picked mine up there for $32.
[HTC Inspire 4G] diablo009:
I have the Patriot 8 GB Class 10 from FRYS. I'm getting speeds of ~11 Mbps.

I think it would be better to go with a 16 GB class 10 (~30 for Patriot class 10), than a 32 GB that's close to three times the cost of a 16 GB.
[HTC Inspire 4G] gmurphy0487:
I just got this one, so far it seems to perform well enough. It's only a class 6 and it was writing at about 8-9 megs. Not too bad IMO.

I took the 16g card out of my Epic and it works great its a class 2 I formatted it 1st and no problems. So it seems Samsung cards are good.
[HTC Inspire 4G] BAleR:
i bought a Wintech 16GB class 10 off newegg for $28. Out of curiosity, will the format SD card function in clockwork recovery work to just format it so I can use it? Or should I do a full format on a pc, why do you need to format before use? Why cant you just pop it in and go? Does HTC format the sd card before they ship all these phones to the carriers/customers? Just curious, thanks for input.
[HTC Inspire 4G] Solidarn:
I've recently been having a great experience using Kingston 8 gig class 4 cards to record hd video.

To check the card speeds on pc I use CrystalDiskMark 3.

There is also an android app called SDTools that will show card information.

I also use SD Formatter 3 from sdcard.org to format my cards.
[HTC Inspire 4G] Solidarn:
Another tool to find out if your cards are what they claim to be is H2testw. It checks capacities, corruption and read/write speeds.
[HTC Inspire 4G] BAleR:
Just an update, got the card in the mail, so far so good, dont know any way to test the speeds but i tryed two apps, one said it maxed out at 20mbs and the other 14mbs, so i dunno how acurate thise numbers are but all seems well!
[HTC Inspire 4G] diablo009:
Just pop it into computer, and format it as FAT 32, and use it. Generally all cards are pre-formatted when manufacturer sends u out. But I reformat it before first use to make sure its in the FS as per my preferences .
[HTC Inspire 4G] volumnus:
I bought a cheap 16gb card on ebay

I'm sure it's a counterfeit Sandisk. I've had it at least a year. I only paid twenty bucks for it back when 16gb cards were 50 bucks. It's only class 2. I used it for a long time with my Tilt 2 without any problems, even though I store 10gb of music on it. Now I'm using it in my Inspire. I tested it using the SD tools app. The write speed is 11.6 and the read speed is 20.4. Sometimes those numbers fluctuate slightly, but that's what it tested just now. It does fine with HD video. About once a week I was getting a disk error on my phone in which the card was becoming unmounted, particularly when I would use google navigation. I used SDFormatter 3, the one mentioned in the post above, and I turned on "format size adjustment", and the error hasn't happened in a while. I appeciate the poster who mentioned the software. It seems to work better than the native Windows 7 formatter on my pc.

Here's a link to a 32gb class 4 for sell right now on ebay. http://cgi.ebay.com/32-GB-Micro-SD-...906?pt=LH_DefaultDomain_0&hash=item2564d3c83a

Cards with the exact same generic blue and white packaging are abundant on ebay today from 17 to 30 bucks. Most are receiving good reviews. I may take a gamble. You never know.

Update: Ha ha. I asked the above seller if the card had been tested for capacity and speed. The reply was "Card no is fake. It real." lol

hi, i looking for a 32 gb, i saw a wintec 32 class 10 but heard alot of bad reviews. i bought a trancend 32gb online for $45, turned out it was a bad card. thank god for paypal, told them my problem, got a refund. now for father's day, i wanna 32gb:D:D any suggestions? thanks. btw, does the diff class speeds make a big diff?:confused: i mainly put music in it. thanks again.

This is going to sound really crazy because im in panic mode right now! Let me start by telling you guys i never do dumb things like this but it happened. Im in the kitchen and im putting a bag of kettle corn in the microwave, at the same time my phone is in my hand. I had multiple people talking to me at the same time so i really wasnt focusing on anything atm. I downloaded the latest radio(from the leak) img to see what all the fuss was about and thought maybe id give it a run to test out signal/battery life. While im in the kitchen with my phone in my hand and grabbing my hot popcorn out the microwave, as im flashing the PC36IMG in hboot the bag was hot and i dropped my phone on the floor. I know this sounds dumb but it happened. Here comes the sad part; i keep my phone naked and only wear a screen protector so it hit the ground and battery and back came apart. Ive NEVER dropped my phone before (ever) and its not damaged but just a nick at the top. Ok this is getting long i know but im very frustrated so heres the icing on the cake; the battery popped out while i was updating the radio and now its stuck on the splash screen. Cant get to recovery now or my rom. I know this was very careless and i and usually dont ask for help but im stuck. I tried almost everything i can think of; try updating radio again( didnt work). Im basically stuck with a brick and it still says s-off so i cant take to sprint. What should i do guys?

I got it this past xmas, its 0004, and has 2.10 bootloader. Thanks in advance

If you can get to the bootloader, I highly doubt your phone is bricked. Hopefully, you have the contents of your SD card backed up. I suggest, re-doing EVERYTHING! I would start with the SD card. Re-partition and re-format the card. Download a fresh copy of whatever rom you want to use and a fresh download of the PC36IMG.zip for amon_RA. You can get that from my signature. Flash the recovery from the bootloader first but before you attempt to do so, look at the top of the screen and see if you're still S-OFF. After flashing the recovery, flash the rom. If that doesn't work, follow the instructions HERE.

Although from everything I've read about bricks over the last couple years it seems that if you can get into fastboot or recovery then all hope is not lost, yet.

[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] xHausx:
If your phone turns on it should be alright. You may want to try flashing the PC36IMG over usb instead in case your sd card got jacked up.

just put it in fastboot mode and use:

fastboot oem rebootRUU

fastboot flash zip PC36IMG.zip
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] DomSim:
yeah hboot usb. it should show "hboot usb plug" after you select it and connect to your pc. make sure it installs drivers correctly. i cannot remember if the drivers come from htc sync or android sdk though. once it shows "hboot usb plug" then run the ruu and it should detect your phone and go. this will wipe everything and return you to stock though so be prepared to redo everything :(
