[Wildfire General] alexctk:
Good morning all

before starting making question and turn this into another annoying thread....I've done almost everything and others things i didn't do it because i might break the phone. so....

i root my wildfire, follow the instructions on wildfire index and i had install cm7 night. i so far had manage to correct all the gaps that i had encounter, but i come to a stop, the gps....

i done some reading, and had find some options, flashing radios (thats risk for what i learn, because my phone is A3333) i had install to AndroidFlasher1.8.0 has some others saying...but the zip from europe doesn't work...Mean while i had change the lg of gps.conf, another solution and nothing. i also install several apps, that might help, gpsfix and others and nothing too, im start to despair.

I've read also that read that with the stock 2.2 i might also bring back the gps, well here enters the problems of CWM...

when i did the root and i has doing the backup, i notice that the msg has saying that "no sd-ext" well i didn't do anything, thought that has standard , but when i has looking for my stock backup i had none, and I've search with the phone turn off, to access the root files and back...i dont have a stock backup...gg

I've install some zip´s from recovery with cwm3, I've to go to ROM manager and downgrade to v2.xxx...

i dont understand, because I've install some others from cmw 3 previously. although the zip that i had install (AndroidFlasher1.8.0 and buzz.3.35.20.10) didn't do nothing.

So my main problem is with gps, if some one have the good grace of break down slow from me i will do thks button lol and very well appreciated

p.s: 'm very noob around this things, and some things that are in the forums like technical terns i dont follow, my bad. hope any one can help me, and explain me the best solution.

cherrs

UPDATE

So after a longer search and after doing some math exercises (with help btw lol)

I resolve the problem, hope that might help some one...

I found some archives in several threads and i came to this result

1º you must put these files (AndroidFlasher1.8.0, buzz.3.35.20.10, gps-test, and app gpsfix!) in your sd card (if you search in xda foruns you will find then)

2º go to rom manager, and reboot in recovery on option....it will downgrade the version, so it can install from zip (finally and understand why)

3º on recovery mod, go to install sd card, disable signuters and then install the zips

4º after that it will tell you to reboot to conclude the installation

5º go to astro or other app that you have, and install gpsfix, you can use the one on the market :), install it and run

6º start fix, and it will take less then 10m minutes to fix...and voila

Notes: i tried tom tom gps, ndrive, googlemaps/navigation

Plus this work on my htc buz wilfire A3333 and im not responsible if doesn't work for you or damage if that happens.

So CM7 rox :D

[Xoom Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] sjuberman:
Hey, I got tired of waiting for Motorola's non existant software updates and decide to install the US update with the help of the 5 step post that is in the development forum(http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1089695). I then tried to connect my camera to the Xoom but it would not detect it in the Gallery app. I'm not doing anything wrong, I've got PTP mode on the camera, got a USB-host cable and the Xoom is also detecting the camera when I check the dmesg log. So I was wondering if anybody here had a european Xoom with "hacked" 3.1 update could try connecting a camera with PTP to the Xoom and see if it shows up in their gallery app.
[Xoom Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] gqstatus0685:
Did you flash a custom kernel that supports USB? If not head over to dev section and flash a kernel. Also use ES file explorer or anything else you may use and look in the usbOTG directory. Check to see if your camera images are in there.
[Xoom Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] okantomi:
I think it is not a problem with your update--hacked or not. It seems that being able to import photographs into gallery is problematic. It seems to work for only certain cameras, or is hit-or-miss at best. I hope this gets resolved soon. See this thread: http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1142257
[Xoom Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] sjuberman:
I thought it might be my camera(Canon 5D) so I asked around and found people that have used that camera with the xoom successfully. I also tried a point-and-shoot(Canon Ixus 130) and it didn't work either. I also tried flashing Tiamat 1.1 and it didn't change anything. Think I'll try the Aussie stock 1.3 images that just came in and see if it does the trick.
[Xoom Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] okantomi:
Let us know if you have success. Good luck!
[Xoom Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] sjuberman:
Flashed stock AU images, updated OTA to 3.1 and it did not help with either camera. Flashed back to stock 3.0.1 european, going to try Tiamat again today/tomorrow.

I spent an hour trying to get it working on my laptop (vista64), but after downloading and burning a live cd which only took like 20 minutes I had s-off
[Verizon Droid Incredible 2] ACD168:
it's pulled? i downloaded it last night for ****s and gigs, and I have windows 7, it read my phone, but my hboot is now .96 and said was looking for .97... it took me a while to realize how to use it by putting it in ur platform-tools folder inside of adb,

I also have linux instaleld on my laptop, have you tried installed VMware and giving linux a shot to root it? might be worth it EDIT: lol I didn't see this was for windows. my bad.
[Verizon Droid Incredible 2] SoCalSpecialist:
lol its all good.
[Verizon Droid Incredible 2] timmay2t:
For all you windows users, i had never touched linux before last night and i installed ubuntu and booted it from my flash drive and had my phone rooted easily. Don't be afraid to try it, it was alot easier then i thought it would be.

You can always jump into the alpharev irc channel and get help, those guys were great help to all of us that were new to linux.
[Verizon Droid Incredible 2] Bobby Buggs:
Pointless response, thanks for adding:rolleyes:
[Verizon Droid Incredible 2] SoCalSpecialist:
goes hand in hand with ur thread.

gotta go. cyanogen is calling me.
[Verizon Droid Incredible 2] sgbouldin:
I got win7 I downloaded the windows last week and used it and after several tries it worked. But tried so many things don't know what I did to make it work. Had something to do with when I pluggedin my usb in hoot menu
[Verizon Droid Incredible 2] ACD168:
You've secretly had S-OFF a week ago without telling anyone?
[Verizon Droid Incredible 2] jlee85:
My head just exploded
[Verizon Droid Incredible 2] b0gman:
Has anybody had any success getting the adb drivers to work correctly in windows 7 64 bit. I tried all last night in all this morning and I could not get either fedora 15 or windows 7 to recognize my phone is a connected device with the command "adb devices " or in Linux "sudo ./adb then sudo adb devices " in fedora it must be run with sudo to elevate to root
[Verizon Droid Incredible 2] androidxen:
It's been working for me. Try uninstalling all HTC/Android-related drivers and reinstalling if you want to be careful.
[Verizon Droid Incredible 2] sgbouldin:
No. I downloaded the windows aplharevx tool last week then when I seen it was released l couldn't download it cause it was not avail. So I ran the old one and entered the key into the windows program. . Has something to do with the drivers in hboot I think is the reason the windows s-off program is under review
[Verizon Droid Incredible 2] sgbouldin:
I've s-off four Inc 2 so far today using windows7
[Verizon Droid Incredible 2] abtxpress:
So maybe you could elaborate?
[Verizon Droid Incredible 2] Suckapuncha:
I had the same issue on Windows 7 Ultimate 64 bit. I followed a youtube vid and it worked fine after that. I can't post links yet cause I'm too much of a n00b. So go to youtube and search for a video called: "How to install Android ADB/USB Drivers" by speedy0339. The download link for the 32 bit and 64 bit driver is in the description.

Hope that works for you.
[Verizon Droid Incredible 2] patstock11:
wanna do mine for $? where ya located?
[Verizon Droid Incredible 2] patstock11:
I cant get this for the life of me. I got the Ubuntu live cd going. Through it in my drive and booted it up just to get my feet wet bc ive never used it before. played around with it for a lil bit, found terminal, downloaded alpharevx, etc. Now i try to run it again and i get the ubuntu boot up screen, then it goes blank. Ive tried redownloading and burning the file. Nothing, Doesnt want to run again.

Anyone on LI perform S-off?
[Verizon Droid Incredible 2] Suckapuncha:
Pop in the Ubuntu Live CD

Boot to it

Select "Try Ubuntu"

When loaded, connect your phone with debugging enabled.

Download the alpharevx package from their site. It went into the Downloads folder by default for me.

Drag it to the desktop

Right click and extract archive (this should make a little "alpharevx" file appear in the Desktop)

Right click on that file and in Properties, copy the file path

Open terminal

Use "cd.." (When I put something in quotes, you type what is in the quotes, not the quotes themselves) then Enter until you are at just the prompt with no path after it. for example.. C:\whatever... do a "cd.." and Enter and it will say just C:

Once you are at just the prompt, type "cd (paste path you copied from file)" and then hit Enter.

You can now type "su ./aplharevx" and hit Enter and it should execute the program. I did not have to type "sudo" only "su"

Make sure when it prompts you to install ClockworkMod, you put a CAPITAL "Y" or it will not install.

That should be it.
[Verizon Droid Incredible 2] maqsur:
Actually at the step to install clockworkmod I used a lowercase y and after few mins it installed. Actually it looked like nothing was happening so I typed capital Y and it still eventually installed just took a few mins.
[Verizon Droid Incredible 2] marbd13:
Hello? Linux? I used ubuntu 32bit on a flash drive and had immediate success with s-off on first try then proceeded with cm recovery. Now rooted and running cm7 beautifully although i hate to admit i like the sense ui much better. Windoze meh...no wonder they pulled it =) Just dl the latest version of ubu onto a flash with unetbootin, dl the sdk tools so you can enable fasboot. Easy rtfm stuff. Great work from alpharev!
[Verizon Droid Incredible 2] Suckapuncha:
Good to know. I saw a couple of people say they had to manually install CWM after using a lowercase "y", that's why I added that.
[Verizon Droid Incredible 2] patstock11:
I appreciate the help suckapunch. But i cant even boot up ubuntu anymore. I did it once to check it out, now when i try to i click try ubuntu. Then it just goes to a black screen with my cursor there. Weird b/c i had it running yesterday :confused:
[Verizon Droid Incredible 2] MotorcycleMike:
Mine didn't work when I used the lower case 'y'. Gave me some error (forgot what it said). I did let it stay for awhile while I searched for an answer but it still didn't work. Did a manual install of CWM that did work.
[Verizon Droid Incredible 2] MotorcycleMike:
I'm on Long Island. got my S-off using Ubuntu live. Took a few tries but it worked. I'm in East Northport.
[Verizon Droid Incredible 2] Suckapuncha:
That is strange. If it is not letting you boot to the Live CD, then all I can think is that it is an issue with the CD itself. You can try to re-download and burn a new Live CD. Also maybe set your BIOS to only boot from the CD Drive. It may take after a couple tries.

Don't know why it would boot to the CD then just give you a blank screen though...
[Verizon Droid Incredible 2] tactfulcactus:
Looks like the Windows version is back up on the site. Anyone try it yet? I'm at work...
[Verizon Droid Incredible 2] bradleyz:
I'm assuming it's safe to say everyone''s S-off'd by now? :-)
[Verizon Droid Incredible 2] x Eacott:
I can't seem to get my phone into fastboot. When my phone is off and unplugged, I hold the down volume button and then press and power button and nothing happens
[Verizon Droid Incredible 2] nocode99:
I'm trying right now. Will post results momentarily
[Verizon Droid Incredible 2] nocode99:
Pull the battery out and try again. Also make sure the case cover is on when powering on since they have something that detects whether it's open or not.
[Verizon Droid Incredible 2] nocode99:
Seemed to work with no problems and running CWM. Just waiting for the Incredibly Debloated ROM link to be uploaded. Not ready to try Cyanogenmod yet
[Verizon Droid Incredible 2] rudyutz:
So windows version works? And why no to CM7. New to android and tryhing to figure everything out.
[Verizon Droid Incredible 2] x Eacott:
Tried that, and nothing. Held the volume down button, and then pressed power while still holding the volume button, and nothing.
[Verizon Droid Incredible 2] nocode99:
Yeah, the windows worked with no problems. Just follow the instructions on the alpharevx page. CM7 is still on Beta and I was reading through the thread and just read too many problems. Incredibly bloated is basically the stock DINC2 build without the bloat
[Verizon Droid Incredible 2] Suckapuncha:
I can't get my phone to boot to CWM Recovery if I have fastboot enabled. I have to disable it and then turn the phone off, hold the down volume then power for about 10-12 seconds, then it boots into recovery mode.

Oh and mine has to be unplugged from the PC.
[Verizon Droid Incredible 2] x Eacott:
I just figured it out. With this guide, after you flash clock work, i take my battery out right? After i put it back in, i hold down the volume down button, and press the power button 5 times, then it boots into it. From there, i pressed fastboot, then recovery. After i press recovery, thats when you get into clockwork recovery. From there you can add a zip and flash it
[Verizon Droid Incredible 2] Bobby Buggs:
Well I ran the new Alpha and successfully got S-Off, Ran a back up in clock work but when I tried to install Titanium back up it said root could not be acquired? what am I missing here.
[Verizon Droid Incredible 2] eeburnham:
Windows worked for me also. Follow this link http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1160745 should show you how to have root and then titanium will work.
[Verizon Droid Incredible 2] patstock11:
this is turning into such a pita. I cant get the generated beta key to work. Grrrrr
[Verizon Droid Incredible 2] bubba82:
It took me two times to get mine. Keep on trying.
[Verizon Droid Incredible 2] patstock11:
this has to be a sick joke. I have tried 30 times. It keep giivng me the same beta key that doesnt work. Whether i punch the serial in case sensitive or not. This computer is gonna end up on the front lawn pretty soon. Somebody please help me out
[Verizon Droid Incredible 2] tactfulcactus:
It worked for me! Installed SuperUser and booted into ClockWork. I guess make sure you have the right Hboot version?
[Verizon Droid Incredible 2] patstock11:
Wow. 90th time is a charm. Finally got it to work. Stoked !
[Verizon Droid Incredible 2] zombiiez:
+1 I loled
[Verizon Droid Incredible 2] rudyutz:
How do you boot into Clockwork?
[Verizon Droid Incredible 2] JoeyD1005:
so i did this and got it to s off first time, only problem now is that my phone doesnt have any service. absolutely no network connections. any help?
[Verizon Droid Incredible 2] ViperGeek:
NICE! Donation complete!

After both sets of USB drivers were installed ("Android Composite ADB Interface" and "Android Bootloader Interface"), obtaining S-OFF via AlphaRevX was possibly the easiest thing I've ever done with my phone. Step 2 was to immediately install rmk40's root/busybox ZIP file here:

http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1160745

and now I'm a supremely happy DInc2 camper.

Donations to AlphaRev were promptly made. Well done!

[Verizon Droid Incredible 2] jaxenroth:
Downloaded Win version got beta key, and all up and running great, no issues. Took a couple trys to get beta key to work, but all is good now. Inst'd Su zip, and dl'd titanium BU. Froze all bloat, what to do next? Oh yeah, this is my wifes phone... I don't even think she has an idea of what I did. lol. Good job Alpha Rev. Thanks.
[Verizon Droid Incredible 2] bod1ggity:
Worked perfectly for me first time. Windows 7, 32-bit. BTW HERES TO ALL THE HATERS WHO SAID THERE WAS NO SOFTWARE UNLOCK. Donations sent to Alpharev for being amazing.
[Verizon Droid Incredible 2] nmh5028:
I had some trouble when using Win 7 64-bit (communication with the device interrupted), but when I tried on 32-bit it worked on the first try. Thanks Alpharev!
[Verizon Droid Incredible 2] patstock11:
Yea I meant to touch upon this but I forgot. I'm sure all the trolls are gone but alpharevx deserves some apologies from a few people.
[Verizon Droid Incredible 2] nick.koutrelakos:
Agreed. I don't see how impatience can lead to such caustic attitudes towards developers.
[Verizon Droid Incredible 2] wyattyoss:
So will this work on thebleaked gingerbread RUU? I have the right hboot and stuff.
[Verizon Droid Incredible 2] Pyr0TeK:
+1 :):D:):D
[Verizon Droid Incredible 2] Pyr0TeK:
RUU's notoriously break root... on all android phones. Nothing to do with the version of Android, everything to do with what else comes with that RUU update... like new radios and HBOOT versions etc...
[Verizon Droid Incredible 2] wyattyoss:
What's the worse that could happen if I tried?
[Verizon Droid Incredible 2] Pyr0TeK:
Worse that could happen is you would not be able to root your phone until someone hacks/roots the updated RUU build (or unless you can RUU back to stock), if it does break root, which I am sure it will.
[Verizon Droid Incredible 2] wyattyoss:
Could you help me out and post a link of an RUU for that? All I can find are ones for the original incredible.
[Verizon Droid Incredible 2] Pyr0TeK:
Not sure... someone else can probably help you. I am only checking this forum to help root a friends INC2 since I don't have one. :)
[Verizon Droid Incredible 2] rudyutz:
I just used Alpha to S-OFF. Now I am trying to root. I keep getting stuck. Can anyone help me?
[Verizon Droid Incredible 2] ViperGeek:
What errors are you getting? I had best luck installing rmk40's root/busybox ZIP file here:

http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1160745

Assuming you installed Clockworkmod during the Alpharev process, put the ZIP file in the root folder on your sdcard, insure that Settings -> Power -> Fast boot is unchecked, power off your phone, then holding Vol Down, power up the phone Navigate to flash ZIP file and select the ZIP file in the root folder. This'll install all the su/busybox goodies.

I just installed that before you posted. Thanks for spending the time to help.
[Verizon Droid Incredible 2] ganj_420:
Hey all, sorry if I'm hijacking. Kind of a noob and ran into a bit of a problem. I've installed the alpharevx utilities and the windows drivers and uninstalled Htc sync. Whenever I try to run alpharev it just gets stuck on "waiting for device" forever it seems like. Is that normal or am I doing something wrong? Am I just being impatient?
[Verizon Droid Incredible 2] riker147:
Did you Enable USB debugging?
[Verizon Droid Incredible 2] riker147:
Also a noob here. Everything seemed to work fine. My problem is Titanium Backup and Rom Manager are saying that I'm not rooted. Pressed power button with volume down to get to the AlphaRev menu and it's showing s-off. Is there a way to fix this or maybe start over?
[Verizon Droid Incredible 2] ganj_420:
Yes, charge only and USB debugging are both selected
[Verizon Droid Incredible 2] k_nivesout:
It sounding like you didn't flash the superuser zip. Look in the dev section, there's a thread with the download. Put it on the SD card, boot into recovery,install zip from SD.
[Verizon Droid Incredible 2] riker147:
Thanks for the quick response. That's exactly what the problem was. Thank you very much. :D
[Verizon Droid Incredible 2] Matt Devo:

hi,

tried to s-off my dinc2 with the great alpharev app and work perfectly but when i say Y to install clockworkmod recovery it starts download, finishid download and then the app close and the phone stay in recovery mode. i reboot the phone, every thing seems to work well and now it is s-off but i never found the clockworkmod anywhere.... can you help me? i need to reinstall clockworkmod? thanks
[Verizon Droid Incredible 2] spike82:
ok, i will respond to myself...

- uncheked the fast boot

- gone in recovery with vol- and power button

- recovery

- cwm 4.x start

- backup on sd

now working on backup...
[Verizon Droid Incredible 2] ganj_420:
I'm getting confused over all of this. I've uninstalled HTC sync and left the USB drivers and driver installer. When I go to the alpharev page and click on "HTC windows drivers" it takes me to multiupload site and I don't know which link to click to install the drivers they tell me to install? I thought the drivers were already installed through HTC sync? Then I try to run the utility and it always gets hung up on "waiting for device" I would really appreciate any help with this guys. Thank you
[Verizon Droid Incredible 2] spike82:
if you install and uninstall htc sync, you are ok with the htc driver.,,
[Verizon Droid Incredible 2] ganj_420:
Thanks for the response, I'm good on the drivers then. I just can't figure out why it gets hung up on waiting for device. I have charge only and USB debugging selected. When I download the alpharev utility my computer does make me extract the files to a different folder to be able to run them, don't know if that makes a difference or not.
[Verizon Droid Incredible 2] spike82:
after unintsall the htc sync have you reboted the pc?

i use the alphaerv app right now on my net book with win xp and all gone well...

already done the backup of original rom and installed the file for complete root...
[Verizon Droid Incredible 2] Mr1070:
With s-off shouldn't we be able to flash a cwm recovery using an image and a PG32IMG.zip in bootloader ? And bypass root to come back to froyo from gingerbread just include recovery img only in the zip?
[Verizon Droid Incredible 2] Mr1070:
I just created a PG32IMG.zip containing. Android-info text file and CWM recovery img renamed to recovery.img and placed it on root of sdcard

Booted into hboot and flashed it ...

Then I replaced the recovery with the stock recovery from the froyo ruu and flashed the stock recovery back....

Then flashed right back to CWM..

Never used any commands via windows or linux

Good morning!

I'm not sure if you've already seen this, but the Verizon GB OTA update is available:

http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1165424

Will those of us happy to have S-OFF and root lose either/both by upgrading to Gingerbread OTA from Verizon?

- Dave
[Verizon Droid Incredible 2] ViperGeek:
Here are the answers as I understand them so far:

Lose S-OFF? No.

Lose root? Yes.

Can you upgrade OTA with a CWM recovery installed? No. Reload stock recovery, which BTW also removes your ability to restore your Nandroid backup.

Suggestion? Install RMK's de-bloated GB ROM via CWM here: http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1161411
