Yes, anything football posts is actually the full RUU.

Thanks football! Your the best!
[Droid Incredible Android Development] wildstang83:
Guess source won't be to far behind now.
[Droid Incredible Android Development] SlimSnoopOS:
If this is the proper RUU for GB Incredible, should Doug Piston be notified?
[Droid Incredible Android Development] wildstang83:
I'm sure Doug already has it. FB drops to all the big dogs. Do a search for FB. You'll see who he is.

Edit: Also it is the proper RUU. Notice its in exe form.
[Droid Incredible Android Development] SlimSnoopOS:
Oh, trust me man as much as I'm on xda, I know how valuable FB is to the community. I appreciate you clarifying the RUU file. I'm sure there are a lot of people who could use this.
[Droid Incredible Android Development] wildstang83:
Oh, hehe. I didn't know bud. I guess I was just getting my post count up then, lol:)
[Droid Incredible Android Development] skunis1:
Can anyone tell me if this will wipe my phone clean? Or will this work just like an OTA from VZW?

Thanks.
[Droid Incredible Android Development] jskolm:
This will wipe your phone clean. If you do not have s-off, you will also lose root.
[Droid Incredible Android Development] skunis1:
I'm not rooted so no issue there. Sux that phone is wiped clean.

I have heard that all apps that were dled from the market should automatically come back though. Although I did have a bunch of apps that I dled through Appbrain prior to the web version of the Market.
[Droid Incredible Android Development] jskolm:
Appbrain keep a list of all y our installed apps too. You can just install the app and then use it to redownload all your apps again also.
[Droid Incredible Android Development] cmlusco:
Has anyone diffed this ruu against the .3 upgrade patch to see if anything has changed? Or has anyone used this ruu yet?

Edit: Never mind i need to read before i post lol.

How to get back to rooted

^^

Do to lack of sleep from flashing custom ROMs around the clock, I installed this RUU thinking: "Hey, I'm S-off and rooted, No problem!". Well I just spent the entire afternoon tring to get back to root with no luck. Yes, I still have S-off and I have 0.92 H-boot but I cannot get rooted again. I d/l superuser from the market but it reports that it has to d/l new binarys but the file su puts on my sd-card is a zero-bit file so that is a no-go. Hours of going through the forums here and in General and in Q&A produced a lot of blind alleys. Yes, I have been to the Unrevoked website and tried everything there; been to su and cwm websites also with no luck. I'm thinking this is the problem where I have read that idiots like me will have to wait until the Unrevoked team does something that works with this RUU (not likely, BTW). If I am wrong in that and just missed the exact set of instructions in the exact order then perhaps someone can post a better set of instructions. However, if I cannot get back to root, this is a little warning to my fellow flashers: beware of RUUs if you are not a dev.
[Droid Incredible Android Development] tiny4579:
Hopefully. In guessing you mean kernel source which is what I want.
[Droid Incredible Android Development] wildstang83:
i'll try to help you. I know just what you need. I just did this couple days ago. Give me a sec to find the files you need. There specific.
[Droid Incredible Android Development] wildstang83:
Yea, exactly. Its never to far after the ruu that source is released. Hey once they release I wanna get with you bud. Im really interested into kernel development.
[Droid Incredible Android Development] csditguy:
I was in the same boat. So I downloaded cwm from http://dougpiston.com/files once I had that recovery I was able to flash a different rom. Back to flashing as usual. :)
[Droid Incredible Android Development] jskolm:
Ok, Step one, Flash the PB31IMG.zip in hboot (same way you flash a radio file) this will install CWM 5.0.2.0.

Then reboot into recovery and flash the payload.zip, then the su-xxxxx.zip and restart. You should have root access at that point. :)

I hope.....
[Droid Incredible Android Development] wildstang83:
If you are still s-off and have flashed this RUU your next steps to getting full root are as follows:

Download these two files:

http://downloads.androidsu.com/superuser/su-2.3.6.3-efgh-signed.zip

and

http://dougpiston.com/files/Recovery/PB31IMG-recovery-clockworkmod-3.0.0.8.zip

Next rename the recovery file to PB31IMG.zip and place it on the root of your SD Card. Flash that through Hboot just like you did the ruu.zip

Next reboot your phone and delete the PB31IMG.zip from your SD Card. Now place the superuser zip onto your SD Card as is. It does not have to be renamed. Now Reboot into Clockwork Recovery and flash the SU zip. All should have went well and you are fully rooted again. From here you can now download rom manager again and update to the latest recovery.
[Droid Incredible Android Development] cmlusco:
You have to install a custom recovery thru hboot, and then flash the su binary from in recovery.

CWM Recovery 5.0.2.0 : http://dinc.does-it.net/PB31IMG.zip

SU Binary 2.3.2-efgh : http://dinc.does-it.net/su.zip

I installed the ruu earlier and 10 minutes later was rooted again.
[Droid Incredible Android Development] cmlusco:
What does the payload file do?
[Droid Incredible Android Development] jdmba:
5.0.2.0

Wait ... someone has a flashable file of 5.0.2.0? Is a CWM archive/direct download back up?!??! WHERE!

(Thanks)
[Droid Incredible Android Development] cmlusco:
Its a direct download, flashable thru hboot.
[Droid Incredible Android Development] iowabowtech:
Well, I flashed it just to test it out and actually had a strange situation...my apps were all still there afterward (except SU). Seems odd. Radio updated though so I know it took. Also noticed all the same old stuff...gps nag still there, screen said it was 4.3", etc. Wierd deal, PB31IMG has always meant back to square 1 in my experience. I didn't even have to set the phone up, Google knew it was me, my apps showed up in the market, etc. Just had to reaccept terms.

Rooted again and back to running jermaine's stock plus with screen size once again showing 3.7". :D
[Droid Incredible Android Development] jdmba:
Welp

That I know :) I did not know 5.0.2.0 (or any of the CWM's; since the few mirrors went down a year ago) was available as a self-contained direct file. The last one I found was 3.0.08. Is there an archive somewhere?

---------- Post added at 05:03 PM ---------- Previous post was at 05:02 PM ----------

No! RUU (an executable run from a PC) takes you back to square 1 because it triggers the erasures, etc. a PB31IMG does not do that.
[Droid Incredible Android Development] cmlusco:
Read earlier posts in this thread its there twice.
[Droid Incredible Android Development] Carbon_Rink:
Just ran the update as a PG31IMG.zip on my wifes phone and so far it looks good. Thanks Doug Piston! Works great!
[Droid Incredible Android Development] jdmba:
<sigh>

Went through again; must apologize, found no reference to anything resembling an answer to my actual question of "where these are stored now that the mirrors are down". If you meant "putting up something purporting to be 5.0.2.0 as a direct flash" yes, I absolutely see it was reposted 2 posts below someone else's post of it; but that wasn't my question. However, since no one is answering where it came from, then I guess I got my answer. Thanks.
[Droid Incredible Android Development] iowabowtech:
Huh? You are saying the rom.zip renamed to PB31IMG will not take me back the same as the associated RUU (.exe) would? That's news to me.
[Droid Incredible Android Development] jdmba:
Yup

Yes, I am saying that running a RUU from your PC will do a bunch of things to your phone to basically hammer it back to a clean workable state; kind of like a nuclear option (which makes sense, if your phone is hosed, verizon making you run it will absolutely either restore whatever was messed up, or point to a bigger problem). Flashing a PB31IMG only writes out some files. The RUU does the equivalent of flashing that file, but only after it does a bunch of wipes.
[Droid Incredible Android Development] SlimSnoopOS:
So, you can't download CWM from dougpiston.com (the 3x series that is) or download the 5x series from ClockworkMod.com? Or are you asking if there is a list of past CWM recoveries available to download at once?
[Droid Incredible Android Development] jdmba:
YAY(ish)

You are answering my question, so thank you!!!

I don't want them all at once (I have all I need as files on my SD Card); but would love to know where the zip file archive is (or at least the current release).

Re 5.0.2.0 on ClockworkMod.com, that seems to be an IMG file. There used to be a bunch of mirrors where the IMG and ZIP were both stored side by side. Main went down, another popped up, then that one went down and I know of no other source of the real deal, so I was wondering where people got the mystery file.
[Droid Incredible Android Development] Quantumrabbit:
You get CWM versions from inside Rom Manager. Open ROM Manager, and flash it.

Done.

If you want an old version, there's an option in ROM manager, for other versions.
[Droid Incredible Android Development] SlimSnoopOS:
I'm afraid that's all I know in regards to links, I'm still using CWM 3.0.0.8. Im not interested in CWM 5x until the community as a whole requires upgrades.
[Droid Incredible Android Development] cmlusco:
Not a mystery i just updated cwm thru rom manager to 5.0.2.0, then made a nandroid, then pulled the recovery.img from the nandroid and made it into a flashable zip, which i posted earlier in this thread.
[Droid Incredible Android Development] doug piston:
I opened up your recovery and it is actually 5.0.1.0, no worries though I uploaded the correct version

Running the new ruu with superuser intact. Very fast but screen size is still off in build prop, simple fix. Thats it though nohing else wrong from what I can tell.
[Droid Incredible Android Development] cmlusco:
Good catch musta grabed the wrong file. I fixed it anyways even though you posted one.
[Droid Incredible Android Development] doug piston:
Only caught cause I was going to kang you :)
[Droid Incredible Android Development] cmlusco:
Anyone deodex the framework folder yet? If so could you post a zip i couldnt get it to work with the instructions i found.
[Droid Incredible Android Development] ptgay49:
Thanks for getting me re-rooted

^^

This is the solution that worked for me (originally shown in Post # 21). So thanks very much for the fix wildstang83.

While there occasionally can be some drama here at XDA, my experience with this problem and the very quick responses from multiple members is also a very great part of this community. Thanks again!
[Droid Incredible Android Development] dmeadows013:
Cool! I missed a lot during my week without power :(. Will extract the rom from this and make it flash able :)

---------- Post added at 05:28 AM ---------- Previous post was at 05:20 AM ----------

I'll do that when I get the rom pulled.
[Droid Incredible Android Development] cmlusco:
Will it be deodexed?
[Droid Incredible Android Development] dmeadows013:
Should be. I'll upload a full rom with deodexed /app and /framework
[Droid Incredible Android Development] BMWPower06:
So if I wanted to revert completely back to stock and unroot, this is the ROM I'd install correct?
[Droid Incredible Android Development] cmlusco:
Depends what you mean by stock. Stock as in a stock rom or stock as in the day you got it? This will unroot you but not remove s-off. If you flash this wile s-on you will loose the ability to root possibly forever. The exe will wipe everything the PB31IMG.zip can be flashed over a previous stock version of gingerbread. If your sending it in for some reason you also need to go s-on.
[Droid Incredible Android Development] BMWPower06:
can someone explain this s-off and s-on for me please? Sorry I'm kinda a noob. Also, yes say if I were sending it in, if I flashed this ROM and sent it in, I'd be okay?

And, how does one lose the ability to root FOREVER?
[Droid Incredible Android Development] dmeadows013:
First off, why would you want to? Second off, you can't.
[Droid Incredible Android Development] BMWPower06:
I don't want to, but isn't that what he said in his post?
[Droid Incredible Android Development] dmeadows013:
Ahh. I didn't read that sorry

By that he means that the update to Gingerbread will break unRevoked's root method. If you flash S-On, you cannot flash a custom recovery which will allow you to flash roms, and you have to use the stock firmware until unRevoked comes out with a new method of root. However, there is a possibility that unRevoked will not be able to root it, and then you would not be able to root again.
[Droid Incredible Android Development] cmlusco:
Stock htc phones are shiped s-on (security-on), which checks signatures of files your trying to flash. In order to root you need to be able to flash a custom recovery (not properly signed) so you need s-off. If they are not signed by htc they will not install. You can loose root "possibly" forever because there is no current method to get s-off on the new gingerbread rom. So if you flash it and your s-on your out of luck on rooting till unrevoked or someone else comes up with an exploit.

If you needed to send it in you would want to go froyo 2.2 not this as most people havent officialy got this yet. You would also want to get s-on again.
[Droid Incredible Android Development] BMWPower06:
Oh, hmm so you're saying that on my sister's incredible (she just got the 2.3.4 update) there is no way for her to currently root her phone, is that correct?
[Droid Incredible Android Development] dmeadows013:
Unless she is S-Off, yes.
[Droid Incredible Android Development] cmlusco:
Not unless it is already s-off. S-off and rooted are two different things. However you need s-off to root.
[Droid Incredible Android Development] cmlusco:
Do i hear an echo in here? lol!
[Droid Incredible Android Development] dmeadows013:
Hahahahahaha
[Droid Incredible Android Development] BMWPower06:
lol thanks for the help guys, told you I'm a noob. How does one check if s is on or off?
[Droid Incredible Android Development] dmeadows013:
In HBOOT, it will say in the top half of the screen somewhere.
[Droid Incredible Android Development] cmlusco:
Make sure fast boot is dissabled in settings - applications. Then power off the phone. Once off hold vol down and power at the same time to get into hboot. It will say s-on or s-off on the top line.
[Droid Incredible Android Development] dmeadows013:
Aww crap not again lol
[Droid Incredible Android Development] iowabowtech:
Oddly, I just noted a post from another forum I frequent that said they had the same experience as me (PB31IMG), only they were running the RUU (.exe). Their apps still remained as well. Has anyone else noted this with the RUU? That just seems extremely strange to me.
[Droid Incredible Android Development] cmlusco:
Did you do a wipe or factory reset before doing the PB31IMG.zip? Im pretty sure the exe is programed to do a factory reset as part of its proccess before installing. You should always wipe from recovery (if you still have a custom recovery) or do a factory reset (if on stock recovery) before installing an ruu or a rom.
[Droid Incredible Android Development] iowabowtech:
Idk man, I've always ended up back at bloat only using PB31IMG personally but I guess maybe I just got lucky or something. But a guy that does the RUU and runs into the same scenario? I don't get it.
[Droid Incredible Android Development] cmlusco:
Not sure i also used the PB31IMG so im not sure about the exe. I have only ever used a ruu.exe once and it was for froyo, and it did wipe my phone.
[Droid Incredible Android Development] silverxbv2:
It's been a while so be gentle. We had root before we had s off. I don't remember what the benefit was of s off. Didn't we have roms before that? Remember, be nice. It was a long time ago. Lol
[Droid Incredible Android Development] dmeadows013:
Here is the deodexed framework folder.

http://www.mediafire.com/?vkm6b2htj65vj35
[Droid Incredible Android Development] davwman:
Just an update. Been running the latest ruu de-sensed and de-bloated since yesterday and its ridiculously smooth plus 07.07 radio us behaving nicely this time around and download speeds are the best ive seen in Ny. Battery is also doing really good from what I can tell. The only thing needing a fix was the screen size in build prop. And all sprint references are gone.
[Droid Incredible Android Development] swindelljd:
I tested the RUU (had previously installed the PB31IMG of the RUU) and it's not quite as nuclear as you would think. I had pictures on the /mnt/emmc partition which are still there even after running the RUU. I would have expected that a full wipe would have included this partition.
[Droid Incredible Android Development] zoomy942:
Morning! So this build is different than the Rom from stang thats the ota? Meaning more up to dtate? Is the version the same?

If so, I just need to keep my eyes peeled for the standard deodexed flashable zip as usual right?
[Droid Incredible Android Development] doug piston:
Both the .exe and PB31IMG should completely wipe /system and /data. I have had two people test, 1 it did the other it did not. The one that did not was already on a OTA style rom I believe.

In my limited experience with the Inc they both have always completely wiped the phone. Pictures stored on your internal memory should still be intacted.
[Droid Incredible Android Development] 72chevy2k2:
I think it allowed us to flash things that did not have authorized signatures from HTC something like that I could be wrong though.
[Droid Incredible Android Development] jermaine151:
Those framework files haven't changed since the .2 version. I'm not sure what they did that makes "diff" flag them, but after decompiling them, they are identical.
[Droid Incredible Android Development] ptgay49:
What happens if you run the RUU exe file

I ran the RUU exe file posted in the OP using HTC's sync software. When I did so I was S-off, H-boot 0.92, rooted, on the 07.07 radio and on jermaine's "as it should have been" 605.3 ROM and that ROM's included kernel. I can report that, in my case, all my programs were already loaded when the install was completed. However, what I thought was unusual was that the apps contained no user data. For instance, the AMEX app no longer had my user ID field completed; I had to reload that field and check the "remember me" box again (like it was a brand new app install).

However, go to page 3 of this thread and you'll find I took a harrowing 6-hour trip to the "Oh, f**k, I just lost root" pit of hell and only made it back after assistance from XDA community members.

I can also report that after I de-bloated it and ran a few custom zips (like killing the droid sound and the location nag), I am very happy with the speed, smoothness and battery life. I do miss some of the things devs add like the expanded power menu and the quick settings pulldown but I wanted to get my phone back to bare metal for a while (but still be rooted).

File this post under the "for what it's worth category" for those of you who are wondering what might happen if you install the RUU exe file.
[Droid Incredible Android Development] jermaine151:
I'm glad that you got it all sorted out PT!
[Droid Incredible Android Development] ptgay49:

Thanks!

It was an "interesting" ride.
[Droid Incredible Android Development] XGrinder911:
Can someone here tell me how to update my Dinc to 2.3 without root or if possible get root in the process?
[Droid Incredible Android Development] Ed Zachary:
If you update to GB first, you won't be able to root for at least a while.

If you root first, you can update to GB and stay rooted.

Start reading here.
[Droid Incredible Android Development] ptgay49:
^^

If you get root per the above, then your next step, I believe, is to verify that your H-boot version is 0.92. You'll have to search the Incredible forums, Google it or wait for help to arrive in this thread from community members smarter than me to get the proper H-boot version on your Dinc.

Also, I think if you were not rooted when you posted your original comment, you should get the GB update (2.3) via the standard OTA update process from your cell service provider. I could be wrong but it is just something to consider if you don't want to go down the rooting path.
[Droid Incredible Android Development] redsunrising:
Any reason my hboot seems to be looking for a PB31ADG.zip and not PB31IMG.zip?
[Droid Incredible Android Development] ptgay49:
I cannot answer that. I do know that the two numbers after the PB are the model of phone (Inc, EVO, etc.). I Googled PB31ADG.zip and only found your post so obviously that was no help.

I am sure you are patience enough to sit tight until someone can get you a definitive answer for you. :>)
[Droid Incredible Android Development] redsunrising:
Nevermind guess it is looking for it it just flashed away too fast for me to see.

Great now my sd card won't mount in CWM
[Droid Incredible Android Development] aatrek:
I'm running CyanogenMod 7, with the GB radio (2.15.10.07.07) installed, and S-OFF.

Since I'm getting close to upgrading my phone (and will probably sell off my Incredible), I want to make sure I clean it off correctly.

Once I'm S-ON again (which I already know how to do), I can just run the RUU to get back to factory settings, right? Even if I have the GB radio already installed? OR should I drop down to a previous radio first?
[Droid Incredible Android Development] tiny4579:
If you run this RUU you will have the GB radio as the RUU installs the GB radio. Based on what you're saying you want to RUU to sell so you plan on losing root.

According to unrevoked forever you'd have to be either the 2.15.00.07.28 radio or the 2.15.00.09.01 radio to enable S-ON. Then you can run the RUU and you have a stock rooted phone.
[Droid Incredible Android Development] Ed Zachary:
One question, kind of off on a tangent:

If you are going to sell the DINC, why turn security back on and, with the GB update, lock the new owner out of the ability to root?

Just asking...
[Droid Incredible Android Development] Devildog8791:
I've tried to install this, but I keep getting an error message. Is there a certain rom I need to be on for this to work? I am on Newt's Runnymede rom right now, but the update won't go through.
