Sometime backup can take a bit depending on amount of apps, etc. I would give it some more time. And yes, you will lose OTA upon restore unless you back up after doing the update.
[Motorola Photon 4G] xTMFxOffshore:
I'm unlocked which is why I backed up. ha. Crap. Oh well. I guess I'll just reunlock or something. I don't know. I'll figure it out. I'm not sure what I wanna do yet.

Just Did the manual Upgrade to 2.3.4 and want to root it so i can update to HTC Sence 3.0 or higher.

I tryed using the superuser.zip method, but im having problems going into Recovery Mode, it gives me a picture of the phone with a red triangle in it, so i press and hold the power button and the volume up button to get past it. After that, i try installing the file from the SD card and it just restarts the phone. It didnt install super user so im at a loss.

Can Anyone Help? Thank You

[Droid Incredible Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] cmlusco:
You have to flash a custom recovery either clockwork mod or amonra recovery. Then go into recovery and install the superuser.zip. In order to do this you have to be s-off. If you are s-on on 2.3.4 there is no current way to root.

My understanding as well that thre isn't a root for gingerbread.

[Droid Incredible Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] dbaker22186:
my phone is currently s-off which is good.
[Droid Incredible Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] k_nivesout:
That's good then, all you need to do (like a previous poster said) is flash a custom recovery, then flash the superuser zip in that recovery. The easiest way to do this is using rom manager, it's pretty self explanatory. Alternately, you can flash the recovery of your choice in hboot, www.dougpiston.com has recoveries available for download. Then find the superuser zip and "install from SD card" in recovery.

HTC

You mean ... there isn't a root for gingerbread ON for HTC phones. The droids are rooted just fine (my wife has a Droid 2 Global with the OTA installed) through a one click for Windows and Linux (Z4ROOT doesn't work anymore though).

i downloaded the clockworkmod from www clockworkmod dot com under recovery images. Where do i put that file now?

I used unrevoked the last time i rooted so this way is totally new for me.

i appreciate all your help
[Droid Incredible Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] k_nivesout:
There's root/S-OFF for other HTC phones on gingerbread. Look at the unrevoked/revolutionary site. Evo 3D, incredible 2, sensation, are a few HTC phones on gingerbread that can be S-OFFed.
[Droid Incredible Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] k_nivesout:
I'm assuming that it's a zip file that you downloaded? It's most likely meant to be flashed in hboot. Rename the file exactly to PB31IMG.zip and put it on the root of your SD card (not in any folders). To get in to hboot, power the phone off completely, then hold power and volume down. You'll be taken to the hboot screen and it will automatically look for the PB31IMG.zip and ask you to update. Press volume up to confirm.
[Droid Incredible Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] dbaker22186:
the file that was downloaded is: recovery-clockwork-5.0.2.0-inc.img

[Droid Incredible Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] k_nivesout:
Oh, that's an .img file, I'm not sure what you'd do with that without a custom recovery already. I'd recommend downloading a recovery from www.dougpiston.com or use rom manager.
[Droid Incredible Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] dbaker22186:
when i first installed gingerbread onto my device last nice, i downloaded a file that i had to change to PB31IMG.zip. So when i go into my CD card there is a folder called clockworkmod.

In the folder there are 2 files: .settings and .settings 2

Somewhere along the line i think something got screwed up and id like to start from scratch. Would you be willing to walk with me through this thing lol. Youve been such a great help so far. Please let me know. I live in california and im off work at 6 so ill be doing this after work so i dont have to hide the screen every two seconds lol.

Would you take the challange to help me?

Thank you
[Droid Incredible Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] k_nivesout:
It sounds like you installed rom manager maybe, or a custom recovery since you have the clockworkmod folder on your SD card. What was the PB31IMG that you tried previously?

Let me know, and I'll subscribe to this thread so I'm notified of new posts, or feel free to pm me. I'm not sure exactly what I'll be up to later but I'll try to respond ASAP. Maybe continue posting in this thread so other people can chime in and help too.
[Droid Incredible Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] cmlusco:
Ok first uninstall rom manager and the superuser app if you have it installed and delete any PB31IMG.zips that are on the root of your sd card. Then download cwm recovery here http://dinc.does-it.net/PB31IMG.zip, place it on the root of your sd (not in any folders). Then download the superuser binary from here http://dinc.does-it.net/su.zip and place it on the root of your sd. Then go to menu, settings, manage applications and make sure fast boot is unchecked. Power off the phone and then boot into hboot by holding vol down and power at the same time. Once in hboot it will automaticly find the recovery and prompt you to press vol up to install. Once installed it will prompt to reboot hit vol down and you will go back to the main hboot screen. Then vol down to recovery and hit the power button. Once in recovery select install zip from sd card and then select the su.zip. It will ask you to confirm select yes. Once installed select reboot phone. Once the phone boots up go to the market and get the superuser app to keep su up to date and allow programs superuser permissions. Install that and then download rom manager from the market so you can keep recovery up to date and make backups. Thats it you should now be rooted.

what do you know about HTC Sense 3.0 or 3.5?
[Droid Incredible Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] k_nivesout:
Did you get it rooted alright?

We have 2 sense 3.5 roms now, one is based on the HTC bliss, the other based on HTC runnymede. I'm not sure how they run on the incredible but from what I've read, they're not too bad, although they are in the early stages of development. I've tried the desire HD based sense 3.0 and was surprised by how smooth it was. I'd recommend checking both out and seeing what you like best.

I don't often flash roms, but when I do, I prefer AOSP. But like I said, these newer sense roms are surprisingly smooth considering our hardware. Just gotta try em out and see what works best for you!
[Droid Incredible Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] dbaker22186:
yeah, got everything working and im happy. do you have a link to the desire HD one by chance?

and how exactly does this work, am i pretty much flashing the whole phone, or just adding a feature?
[Droid Incredible Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] droidian1441:

[Droid Incredible Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] BMWPower06:
Anyone have any idea on how long it'll be till 2.3.4 can be rooted on the incredible?
[Droid Incredible Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] dbaker22186:

[Droid Incredible Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] cmlusco:
It can currently only be rooted if your s-off.
[Droid Incredible Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] romsRfun:
First. Make sure your computer has updated USB drivers. That handles 2.0 or 3.0, whatever your mobo comes with.

Second, you need googles android USB drivers to read the phone.

I used unrevoked. It worked flawlessly the first time. Remember, it turns s-on to s-off, then roots the phone, and lastly, it mods the recovery.

After all of those steps you can flash any Rom you want built for the droid.
[Droid Incredible Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] cmlusco:
People YOU CAN NOT OBTAIN S-OFF WILE RUNNING STOCK GINGERBREAD ON A DINC, AND THERE FOR CAN NOT ROOT. Unrevoked does not work on a dinc running gingerbread. The only way to root gingerbread on a dinc is if you were s-off before updating to gingerbread. IF YOUR DINC IS S-ON ON AND YOU ARE RUNNING STOCK GINGERBREAD THERE IS NO CURRENT WAY TO OBTAIN S-OFF AND ROOT YOUR PHONE.

[Droid Incredible Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] cmlusco:
Yeah but from what i gather he was s-off so really just old news he thinks is new. The revolutinary thing sounds promising though. Even though it dosent support the dinc yet.
[Droid Incredible Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Erisnoob:
Yes it does and with the other supported devices it may not be long
[Droid Incredible Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] iowabowtech:
I asked him if he was s-on but haven't got a response yet. I gather he actually accepted the update and lost s-off but Idk. If anyone tries it I would suggest using the Froyo PB31IMG instead. If it DID work, those with slcd's would have the black screen issue on 2.1.
[Droid Incredible Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Erisnoob:
Thats what I tried and like his post said adb kicked me out but wouldn't let me back. Attempted the Froyo RUU but it either wouldnt push or bootloader blocked as I am s on. So looks like no dice, oh well I will test other methods as the pop up or upgrade soon.
[Droid Incredible Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] iowabowtech:
Yeah but the thing is, he got back to stock android 2.1 and that doesn't have anything to do with s-off or s-on. We aren't supposed to be able to do that even with root status or s-off for that matter due to the "main version is older" roadblock. And clearly it worked for all those users in the original thread to go from 2.2 to 2.1. So I'm not yet sure what the difference would be here...they were in the same boat, they accepted the OTA without having s-off. I think this could work as it's worked before, it's just a matter of trial and error.

Is your sd card formatted to FAT32? Did you get any error messages when attempting to load the system image?
[Droid Incredible Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] BMWPower06:
are we assuming that 2.3.4 with S-on will not be rootable?
[Droid Incredible Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] evanbowers:
Yep...at least not with unrevoked. some people are claiming to get s-off with other methods
[Droid Incredible Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Erisnoob:
No errors, format is correct. The RUU would either have a usb connection error on pc or bootloader would not allow because of the old version.

[Motorola Droid Bionic] arcade16:
I am really in love with my bionic and would love to make the typing experience more joyable for taking notes etc.

I have heard a lot of negativity surrounding it though, anyone who purchased it care to share their experience?

Is it really laggy or stuttery?

Is the browser at least functional? Do HD youtube videos work?
[Motorola Droid Bionic] jalewis:
I played with it for a few minutes in the store. The keyboard was definitely laggy. Also, the review that I read on Engadget said that it's actually slower than a $200 netbook. Their and my suggestion would be wait for the customer roms to come out, and then use the wireless hotspot or usb tethering. I think you'll like it better.

If you google Engadget Droid Bionic, the review will pop up.
[Motorola Droid Bionic] ClydeDroid:
Yeah, from what I've heard, it's very slow. I haven't actually tested it out myself, though. Perhaps call up your local Verizon store or maybe Best Buy and ask if they have any test units.
[Motorola Droid Bionic] tarheel23:
Yeah, I can chime in on this one. I bouht the dock on launch day.

First what I like:

* Plays Netflix well. This is nice for me. I usually watch an episode of South Park over lunch and it's better than looking at my smaller phone screen.

* Browsing the internet is good. Especially if you are on 4G

What I don't like:

* LAG - Like everyone says, it has some significant lag at times.

* Start up - It's very finnicky about starting up correctly. You are supposed to put your phone on the dock and then open the lid. Even when doing so, sometimes it will not come on.

* The single thing I hate the most are LOW MEMORY WARNINGS. It seems like everytime I have more than two things open, I get a popup telling me that I'm low on memory and need to close some apps.

I mainly bought this thing so I could play battle pirates while I was in the car, on a break, or just away from home in general. I can start to play it, but as soon as I do,.... memory error.

Anyway, I think the concept is great but the whole setup could use some more RAM to help remedy most of the Lag and memory overun issues.

I will be taking mine back later this week. Not worth the $300 price tag in my opinion.
[Motorola Droid Bionic] dunnse:
I for one love the lapdock. I think it accompanies the mobile device well. The bionic is fully functional while docked. I don't expect to get the same performance as I would a full blown laptop. But.... It's great being able to surf the internet with the larger screen and a full size keyboard, and yet being able to just undock the phone and be on the go. And yes... with the 4G surfing the Internet is awesome. The only thing I have to get used to use the left/right mouse clicks on the lapdock are a bit stiff. There is a little lag sometimes using the lapdock, but it isn't that bad.

All in all I am very satisfied with the lapdock and don't regret buying it. It is a great accessory to an already great mobile device. FREAKIN AWESOME!!!
[Motorola Droid Bionic] kenmills78:
I also purchased the lap dock on launch day but I have taken it back due to the lag. I had hoped to replace at least one device and use it to access my virtual desktop which does work great as a web top app. In the end the lag killed it for me and I could not justify the price. Great concept and would have loved it to work. I will say the HD dock works great!
[Motorola Droid Bionic] tct08:
I've got next to no RAM free evidently and it makes it rather difficult to use the lapdock. It actually responds fairly well otherwise other than my spacebar refusing to register unless I slam it. Rather annoying! Once I cleared up some RAM though things are running far better. Gonna give it a few more days (this is my first night with it) so I can give it time to settle in.
[Motorola Droid Bionic] C@rn@ge:
I bought the bionic, lapdock and extended battery the second day of launch.

PROS:

Firefox 3.0 (haven't tried plugins with adblocker yet)

Surfing with 4g is a very positive experience

1080p streaming works great

2 USB connections in the rear works great for a wireless mouse with scroller (haven't tried with a gamepad to see if it works. Excited to try with psx4droid playing final fantasy to see if it works)

Very easy to type with keyboard

Lapdock has a built in 8 hour batt that charges your phone as well

Works great with netfilx and nfl mobile on 4g

Thin, lightweight

Good resolution

Full access to phone

Answer phone calls with speaker without having to lean over

Settings for screensaver time, mouse speed controls, changeable desktop background

Lapdock batt life indicator

Windows ctrl commands work such as ctrl+p, ctrl+c, ctrl+v, ctrl++, ctrl+- for example

CONS:

Spacebar needs to be slammed in at times to register.

Needs to be custom rom'ed and overclocked without breaking webdock or lapdock

Minimal multitasking

Speaker system seems too generic

Upon initial usage system is very laggy and must be opened and closed a few times

No autoscroller on touchpad (must use page up and down arrows, becomes bearable with mouse/scroller)

Resolution of mobileview is not optimized

Wish there was a earphone/mic jack on the from of lapdock right below the touchpad

Definitely not as good and powerful as $300 netbook, but it works. I'm not sure if firefox uses both cores. It doesn't seem like it.
[Motorola Droid Bionic] dunnse:
I see what some people are talking about regarding lag now, after using the webtop for a while. Biggest problem/concern is the Memory Manager - Low Memory error with a few tabs open in Firefox.....

I keep getting "This app is incompatible with your Evo" from the Android Market website and the market app (3.0.27) just doesn't give me a download button or show me updates for newer versions of some apps. It was mostly just an annoyance for a while but now the latest Facebook update came out and it won't install. I'm running CM7.1RC1 which is Android 2.3.4, although I never recall having this problem until I updated to the latest Android Market. Any ideas?

I'm also wondering if there's any good way to troubleshoot why the market thinks my device is incompatible (like some sort of reason ... android version too high, screen resolution, etc).

Solution: It turns out this is because I had modified my DPI to set it to 210 instead of 240. Once I set it back to 240 the market showed me 17 new updates. It looks like they're checking to make sure the DPI checks out ... bummer.
