Also when you say you tried a *228 but no luck, does that mean that it connected to verizon and updated sucessfully but still no service, or that it wont even connect when dialing *228?

You may also want to open the dialer and type in " *#*#4636#*#* ", then select " phone information ". In that screen it will tell you your connection info. Twords the bottom there is an option to turn on / off the radio. If the radio is on it will say turn off radio, if the radio is off or dissabled for some reason it will say turn on radio. If it says turn on radio that means something is wrong with the hardware possibly as the radio should be on by default at boot.
[Droid Incredible General] scotty1223:
failing the excelent advice above,you should flash an RUU for the latest stock firmware,and call verizon if its still not working. they can take you thru other steps to reprogram,and if that doesnt work will prolly let him upgrade early or possibly send a replacement dinc 2 :)
[Droid Incredible General] AZ2ENVY:
I will try this today and report back. Thank you for the quick responses :)
[Droid Incredible General] AZ2ENVY:
Okay I did the RUU back to 2.2 and had to edit the NAI field in the M.IP default profile to get 3G back. Now whenever a call is trying to be placed it tries to send me to a Verizon

rep asking for a credit card or to make a collect call. Any ideas?
[Droid Incredible General] scotty1223:
you just need to call verizon. i had that issue once when switching back to my thunderbolt from my inc 2. it should be something they can fix. :)

Started root then Unrevoked3 says "firmware too new"??? I have 2.3.4...any ideas?
[Droid Incredible General] Amoe92:
3)prepare to downgrade. Ok, finally got Unrevoked to give me SU and got Clockwork and Rom Manager on my phone. Can I do Step 3 with Ubuntu? My Windows computer is old and a piece of crap.

OK...used the crap windows computer and finally got it to work...I think. Went into HBOOT to load the PBIMG and it gave me an error. It said I had a newer version and failed. But the PB31IMG is the one I dowloaded from here???

Just wanted to say thanks to Scotty1223 for starting this thread and continuing to answer questions posted. It has helped me alot. My DInc is now rooted, S-Off, and running Jermaine151's Stock+ Version 3.01.

The only thing I can contribute to this thread is mentioning that for whatever reason, in doing the adb procedure, I could not change prompt to mini-adb_inc no matter what I tried. Once I renamed it to inc, I was able to finish the process. I can't take credit for the solution, though, someone posted the solution on the other thread/forum about it, and I just thought I would mention it here as well, to maybe help someone else that might be having the same problem. I know I've read through all the posts in both sites several times before attempting the root and downgrade, but I don't recall seeing it here.

I am definitely a noob at this, but by just taking my time and following along, I was able to do it. I have never done anything like this before. This is a great guide you have put up here. I was perfectly content with my unrooted 2.2 DInc, until Vzw pushed the OTA on me. Started having issues with it, and I found this guide by googling. Excellent job, everyone.

Now, being a noob and all, is there a Thank button somewhere that I'm not seeing? Because I just can't find it! whoops, I found it!!! I didn't see it there before.

Thanks.

Jim
[Droid Incredible General] scotty1223:
awsome. glad it worked out for you :)
[Droid Incredible General] scotty1223:
if you got a main version higher error,it is because somewhere the adb steps had an error,and your misc image did not get re-written with the lower main version number required for the s-on hboot to allow the flash.

try the adb steps again. look at my session in the code box,and make sure your outputs match mine for each line.

if you get the error again,copy all the code from your cmd window,and paste it inside code tags in a reply here.

Want to thank you for this tutorial, this is my first android and it came already updated s-on. I followed the steps and other then having to reflash the image to get past a boot loop all went well. I was s-off and rooted and back to gb an hour after opening the phone.

@scotty1223 - thanks so much for this guide! It worked perfectly and I was finally able to fix the low space error. I used part of your writeup in a guide I wrote (with full credit to you of course!), take a look and let me know if this is OK: http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1488351

@scotty1223 - or anyone else that can answer my problem.

I'm trying to root my friends DInc but I am running into a problem. I own a rooted Samsung Fascinate so I am somewhat familiar with rooting.

Back to the issue. I installed the modified drives on my computer for the DInc, downloaded unrevoked 3.22, and CW 5.0.2.0. The other 2 files, mini-adb inc & PB31IMG I can't download, multiupload isn't working.

I ran Revoked with CW 5.0.2.0, everything seemed to be fine. When Unrevoked finished the phone was in CWM (black with blue words). When I would try to do anything in CWM it would freeze. I restarted the phone and installed ROM manager and checked to see if it had SU Permissions. SU Permissions f/c's every time. I even tried to Flash ClockworkMod Recovery in Rom Manager which fails when it needs permission from SU.

I have no clue what I'm doing wrong. Also do I need to have S-Off in order to downgrade? Even though I am still having problems with SU can I perform a downgrade. And lastly how can I get the mini-adb inc & PB31IMG for 2.2

thanks,

Justin

[Droid Incredible General] SlimSnoopOS:
Hey guys, if you are having trouble downloading the mini adb file from the OP, Scotty1223 has another download on

page 20

of his Android Forum thread.

You can download the Froyo (Android 2.2) PB31IMG.zip if you navigate to this site: "http://pvillecomp.com/?page_id=22"

FYI, this is a very resourceful site so please bookmark it for future reference. I believe that is everything else that you guys need. Please thank Scotty1223 not me, as he has put this awesome thread together for both communities. Follow the same directions in his OP and you should be fine.
[Droid Incredible General] rickatnight11:
Thanks, Slim. How about an alternative link to Unrevoked 3.22? I can provide mirrors for these files after I have them all, if necessary.
[Droid Incredible General] SlimSnoopOS:
Unfortunately I don't believe I have that file. When I get back from work tonight I'll see if I downloaded that onto my laptop but I doubt it.
[Droid Incredible General] pma7779:
I'm still trying to figure out how to root my friend's DInc. I've followed all the steps but when I exit command prompt and put the phone into fastboot and select bootloader, the phone does not find the pb31IMG. I even changed the file name to PB31IMG.zip.

Also SuperUser for some reason f/c's. I've tried both methods listed in this posting. First with Unrevoked 3.2.2 and ADB, then with just ADB and zergRush. When I try the first method, I can't go past the command prompt adb shell. The instructions say that if a $ sign is in the command propmt to type SU and get permission on the phone. This wouldn't be a problem if SU wasn't f/c ing.

Any suggestions?
[Droid Incredible General] scotty1223:
it is mirrored on AF as well. ill add the links here,too. sorry its casued some fustration,but as i mentioned i dont make it to xda as often as i used to.
[Droid Incredible General] scotty1223:
this is the most common error folks have. only 2 reasons a proper PxxxIMG file on the root of an SD card is not found by ANY phone:

1)not properly named(your phone must see PB31IMG.zip). its easy with windows to get 2 .zips,or not as often,no .zips.

solution:check your file on your phone with a file manager and see how its named.

2)sd card not properly formatted. it HAS to be FAT32. not FAT,or anything else.

solution: right click on sd card when mounted to PC,click properties. reformat if needed.

a couple other common errors for noobs,espeically concerning the inc,unzipping the PB31IMG,and putting it into internal phone storage instead of onto the sd card.

if you still have prollems after that,may want to search the AF thread,as its been addressed several times in the 20+pages there ;)

After using a few root apps,go back and clear data in settings/apps/manage apps/superuser

after trying to use him a few times the "clear data" wont be greyed out

yes,you need superuser to downgrade. no,you do not need s-off,as the purpose of the dongrade is to get a baseband compatible with unrevokeds s-off patch. the above should give you root access. if not,you can downlaod the newest supuser and flash im in recovery: superuser 3.07
[Droid Incredible General] pma7779:
@scotty1223 -

Thank you for all your help. Even before reading this last post, I went into "manage apps" and was able to "clear data" for SU.

I love rooting phones and I'm a flashaholic when it comes to my Samsung Fascinate so I felt pretty dumb that I wasn't figuring out the DInc. All I had to do was put on the Stock+ rom and my friend is amazed at the difference between the stock rom and the new one.

S-off

Is it really worth to get s-off? Most Roms are signed anyways.. I don't need to update my radio b/c it is already 2.15.10.07.07

I guess it makes it a little easier to back up and install ROMS from Rom Manager..
[Droid Incredible General] scotty1223:
IMO its well worth the effort to become s-off. in the event of a soft brick,you have ALOT more options for rescue. terefore,its alot safer to be s-off as long as you dont go haphazardly flasing radios and hboots :eek: ;)

i would not have gone thru the effort to figure this out and post a guide,if i didnt feel it was well worth the effort :)

Trying to downgrade to 2.2

Using the Froyo Stock Zip listed on page one of the thread and Unrevoked 3 I still end up with Unrevoked process asking me if my firmware is too new. Could be I guess. I'm stuck. Running 2.3.4 to begin with and following the op to a T....

Anyone else having an issue with this?

After Unrevoked 3 failed, I found a thread(don't have link) that suggested using Superoneclick as a chance and it told me I was rooted on my second attempt with Zergrush, only after declining busybox...one output I noticed was that superuser.apk could not be installed due to insufficient space? Not the case with this phone, its completely empty and has been wiped several times.

I know this thread is active so I'm hoping someone has a suggestion, even a question about what steps I've taken because I'm determined to get past this. I've gotten a secondary dinc phone to hack at that no one is going to use at the moment so I'm open to trying anything.

please and thanks
[Droid Incredible General] normanx:
Did you get root? If so you need install cwm and also download the right radio to get s-off with unrevoked. The radio you need to flash is 07.28 if you need a link just ask.

Sent from my Dinc.
[Droid Incredible General] normanx:
flash cwm recovery thru hboot as a PB31IMG.zip (http://dinc.does-it.net/PB31IMG.zip), and then flash the su binary thru cwm recovery (http://dinc.does-it.net/su.zip).
[Droid Incredible General] normanx:
flash radio 2.15.00.07.28 from here http://pvillecomp.com/?page_id=18, then try unrevoked again.
[Droid Incredible General] Pappy Drewitt:
I ran into a problem with unrevoked. The first method you posted gave me the firmware too new error. Then I tried the zergrush method. I got the phone downgraded back to 2.2 then tried unrevoked again. After it says running root, it says this was a triumph. It then quickly gives me an error "Internal error: failed to unlock NAND flash?". Then I tried it with the cwm file you put in the first post. Still gives me the same error. Do you have any ideas what this means or how to fix it?

Thanks

Recommendation

My recommendation is you install RcMix3D v1.5.1 and install any theme over it like this one

[HTC Desire S] Deleted member 2496007:
That's the problem isn't it. You have to decide whether you want the pretty UI of Sense, or the speed and battery life of CM7. Or you could try to find a Sense ROM that has the battery life of CM7. Have you tried BinDroid? I tried that recently and was getting 48 hours out of a charge. There are two versions. A partially themed 2.3.5 version, and a fully themed 2.3.3 version.

Unfortunately you'll never get any Sense dialer/contacts running on a non-Sense ROM.

I keep coming back to Sense. Sure CM7 is slicker than a buttered weasel, but no one is batter at the Dialer, Contacts, Clock, Calendar etc than HTC.
[HTC Desire S] sadsac:
Dialler one is good replacement for sense dialler
[HTC Desire S] tommyhot:
In my opinion Email, Calendar and Dialer apps from Sense 2.1 look bad. They are polished in Sense 3.0 but instead of Dialer I still use GO Contacts Ex. You will try it and never get back to stock one.
[HTC Desire S] Untraceable95:
I recommend ex dialer

And for messaging go sms pro is the best
[HTC Desire S] Tapur007:
Ex Dialer is good... Thanks!

I am a fan of Go SMS Pro, however the recent update only does a back up and restore to the cloud!

I wonder , Why did they have to remove the backup and restore to the SD card option? :banghead:

I love the sense contacts; till now I did not find a proper replacement for it even after trying all kinds of contact apps. One problem I see mainly is they can never completely replace the built-in dialer & phonebook they keep poping up in some scenarios even after wasting making the new app default. This results in RAM wastage.

I'm having something strange happening. I have done wipes before with no problem with TB but I just did a factory reset and TB was showing my currently installed apps but showing them as not backed up(this was because the location of the back ups) My backups are stored on external sd so at first TB looks at the internel. When I detect the backup location it finds the folder on my external sd card with all of my back ups but now when I exit and go back in TB tells me there are zero app elements. Even the currently installed apps arent showing up. If I copy the TB back up folder to my internal card and detect the location again and select the folder on my internal card it does the same thing, shows zero app elements. But if I use an empty folder the list of my currently installed apps comes back (but obviously doesnt show I have any back ups) it's driving me insane. Its worked for me a bunch of times before and I even used it right before I wiped to back everything up before I did the wipe. Of course I've tried all the normal stuff: killing the app and restarting it, rebooting the phone, pulling the battery. Nothing seems to work. and Yes, I'm rooted and have a correct busy box installed. The app does report that everything with busy box and root is fine. I just dont understand why all of a sudden when I point it to the folder with all my back ups it shows zero app elements and shows there is 0 apps to back up and 0 apps that can be restored. Anyone know how to fix this? I read on another device thread that the guy found backup files with chinese characters and once he deleted these the apps loaded again. I looked though mine and I did find a couple that had chinese characters in the filename. I deleted them but still no luck. Anyone have any other ideas I can try?

Did you try uninstalling and downloading TB again ? I dknt think I saw that listed in combination of xlearing data with fresh install
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] xak944:
It probably is looking in a different path than where Titanium previously made the backup. Try this:

Menu > Backup folder location > DETECT!

EDIT: Or, make sure you don't have a filter applied (press Search softkey).
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] graffixnyc:
I did detect the location and it found it, but still showed zero elements. Also there are no filters selected. I think maybe something got corrupted. When I manually copied over just the important apps I wanted to restore to the internal SD card location it was fine, although some hung while trying to restore. So I'm thinking that one or more of the backups I didn't copy over from the original folder are corrupt.

[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] xak944:
Ah, sounds like you've already checked everything then. I would check your SD card for errors, both physical and at the filesystem level.

Do you backup to DropBox or sync with Titanium Media Sync? They both work really well (as does everything Titanium) and it's handy to have your stuff automatically saved elsewhere.

Hope you didn't lose anything too important.
[Droid Pro General] eeisner:
Forgive me here, as I am just the family techie out in college communicating for my dad with some issues:

My dad, who is technologically illiterate, is having some issues with his Pro. So some background first... He was forced out of his like 4+ year old blackberry curve because his office's enterprise server was no longer supporting blackberrys (it was costing them more money). So he was forced into a Droid, where he got the Pro. He was having some issues with the enterprise server syncing with the phone, so I downloaded Road Sync for him and got that working perfectly. He has had no problems since.

From what I understand, in the last day or two he upgraded his phone from Fro-Yo to Gingerbread. I would see only advantages of that, right? Apparently, Road Sync is no longer syncing, he lost his calendar (which syncs from the enterprise server via road sync), and he has lost some contacts numbers (the field for the specific numbers isnt there anymore).

What the hell went wrong? Being a plane trip away makes it difficult for me to fix the problem myself, so I figure that some of you with the phone in front of you can help out.
