How did you check /cache? Some of the File Managers on the Market don't like to show the /cache, and will display as empty. Try running ls while cd'd into /cache from an adb shell and it should list some files. I doubt your cache is really empty.
[Droid Incredible Android Development] trickster2369:
FWIW, I am running McSense 2.5 and have not received the OTA notification.
[Droid Incredible Android Development] bob24260:
I used root explorer and my cache didn't show as empty.
[Droid Incredible Android Development] trickster2369:
So, if the recovery was on 2.5.1.2, it's a no go? A friend of mine accepted in this manner this morning. S-off, no nods.
[Droid Incredible Android Development] cmlusco:
Correct you have to have the stock recovery and all original stock apps and framework for this update to work. You can accept the update but it will abort.
[Droid Incredible Android Development] trickster2369:
Bummer.
[Droid Incredible Android Development] foopy:
I've got two different apk's in my cache folder, downloaded in the last few days. One is 3.33MB and the other is 3.14MB. I have no idea what they are. If I try to manually install I get a parse error saying there was a problem parsing the file. Would these files help you?
[Droid Incredible Android Development] cmlusco:
No those are just normal cache files. The update files will have long names with the numbers 4.08.605.2 and the name verizion in it.
[Droid Incredible Android Development] zoomy942:
I love seeing everyone work together. Awesome
[Droid Incredible Android Development] romsRfun:
I ended up using es file explorer and turned root write on. Was able to capture the file that way.
[Droid Incredible Android Development] iowabowtech:
Even if we can get just the new filename, it'd do the trick. All we need to do then is add this in front:

h t t p://android.clients.google.com/packages/ota/verizon_incredible/<filenamehere>.zip

and it'll give us the direct download link to the server. There are plenty of people waiting to apply it with a stock setup so although a nandroid and fileshare site upload would be ideal, if you're lazy, at least get the filename. ;)
[Droid Incredible Android Development] 318sugarhill:
I'll see what I can do tomorrow. I have a friend at work. She is still on Froyo 2.2. I just Rooted for her last week with unrevoked. Today she got the upgrade notification. She is bugging me left and right on what to do. I told her do not accept it. Can since I have root explorer on my phone, can just enter my gmail account on her phone to get root explorer and then be able to pull the file for you? I read the steps earlier today, but my memory is fuzzy. I'm not going to reread it until I have her phone in front of me tomorrow.
[Droid Incredible Android Development] romsRfun:
I'm going to try my Froyo RUU, then update...then see what happens. I would love to share the new file.
[Droid Incredible Android Development] cmlusco:
New ota 6.08.605.2

Here you go guys the new OTA ENJOY! :) (DO NOT FLASH)

http://android.clients.google.com/p..._WWE_4.08.605.2-4.06.605.3_release_222219.zip

Just got the update pushed to me a minute ago.
[Droid Incredible Android Development] wildstang83:
Finally, someone got the right ota, lol

Thanks bud
[Droid Incredible Android Development] iowabowtech:
Cool, nicely done man.
[Droid Incredible Android Development] wildstang83:
Oh, btw. Don't flash that zip. It's not flash ready. It's in patch for. So do not flash till I can get it converted.
[Droid Incredible Android Development] cmlusco:
LOL I got so excited when it poped up I screamed "Hell Yeah" and woke my wife up who was sleeping next to me on the couch.
[Droid Incredible Android Development] wildstang83:
I appreciate it man. I really do. Now to get it converted.
[Droid Incredible Android Development] wildstang83:
I gotta get to bed right now, but I will have this ready early tomorrow guys.
[Droid Incredible Android Development] Iggy95:
Blah I got the update and then after it rebooted it said that my phone "didn't have enough memory"...:mad: now I'll have to wait for that traceback file..which congrats on finding btw. You saved us all from massive headaches. :)
[Droid Incredible Android Development] iowabowtech:
You can always clear some space and rename/load it as an update.zip from your sd card if you need it like tonight. :D

But the smart money is to wait for wildstang and flash it as a rom. I'm mostly kidding, it could be done though. Just not much point in it.
[Droid Incredible Android Development] romsRfun:
cool beans, after I applied the update, I got the new one pushed to me as well...you beat me to it. ;)
[Droid Incredible Android Development] Iggy95:
Hmmm. Every time I boot into Hboot it says that Loading image (Pb31IMG.nbh)

Wrong image!

I did the manual update with the previous GB release so I'm not sure what I'm doing wrong now.
[Droid Incredible Android Development] cmlusco:
hboot is suppose to say that along with looking for 2 other files. Are you having issues booting after installing the update or are you having trouble updating?
[Droid Incredible Android Development] Iggy95:
It does say two other files but I didn't have the patience to keep relaunching the bootloader to see the text (it disappears quickly). And so it appears to be an updating problem. However, I'm still getting that "low memory" warning when I turn on my phone normally even though I now have 6.73 gigabytes of internal storage to work with. Not sure what's wrong.
[Droid Incredible Android Development] iowabowtech:
Might not have your card formatted to fat32? Need that if you're using the PB31IMG method in hboot, but not for the update.zip method. Since I'm assuming you have the stock recovery having just accepted the update you could go that route too.

hboot, recovery, press volume up to get recovery options, load update.zip (file renamed to either update or update.zip depending on how you apply to card)

Or...just wait for wildstang's rom which will take the work out of it. :)
[Droid Incredible Android Development] Iggy95:
Actually no I don't think I have the stock recovery. It ran out of room before it downloaded the file. But thanks for the help. I am in fat32 so there's no issues there. I think I'll just wait for the rom :)
[Droid Incredible Android Development] booser4:
In regards to this, I only got the update to the newer Android version last night. My incredible is non rooted. Then I just got this latest update a little while ago. By what I'm reading the Android version upgrade was out months ago, so I'm wondering why it would take so long to reach me.

Oh and the thing about apps on SD card not showing up properly being fixed... It's BS my incredible is still having the issue. Including most of my apps not showing in the market when I go into the "my apps" section.
[Droid Incredible Android Development] cmlusco:
I have been trying to install the update but not having any luck. To prepare i made a nandroid, wiped everything in mounts & storage, ruued to stock 4.06.605.3, booted and got the OTA notification. I accept the update and it says it wil reboot in 10 seconds and then counts down. But when it gets to 0 it does not reboot and the message goes away. So i figgure i would name the ota file update.zip and try flashing it as a update gift. Hboot found the update went to recovery started to install. Half way thru it stoped and rebooted the phone. Apon checking i am still on 4.06.605.3. i tried redownloading the OTA with the same results. Has anyone else got this ota to successfully install?

EDIT: Nevermind i got it. I think it was because It said i needed to have my charger plugged in cause my battery was low so i plugged it in to my pc. Well after trying several times i thought mabey the adb interface was messing with the update so i plugged it in to a regular wall charger and the update went thru without a hitch.
[Droid Incredible Android Development] xwera43:
Do you still need to have the stock recovery to apply this as update.zip or can CWR remain?

TIA

X
[Droid Incredible Android Development] cmlusco:
you need stock recovery and all the stock apps and framework to install the update.
[Droid Incredible Android Development] zoomy942:
Did they fix the stupid build.prop?
[Droid Incredible Android Development] cmlusco:
Yes they did actually. However the stupid gps nag is still there and the hardware version still reads 003. Dont see much else different. Kernel and radio are the same.
[Droid Incredible Android Development] danielzink:
Hey Wildstang,

I'm running your rom from this closed thread:

http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1247253&highlight=Stock+605.3+rooted

Got the update notice - I'm assuming that the instructions posted here in this thread apply as well ? Don't accept and download as of yet ?

Thanks.
[Droid Incredible Android Development] TheLeeDynasty:
I received the same error message, then I downloaded the OTA posted here and renamed update.zip -> put on sdcard and booted into hboot.

I am 100% stock right (not rooted) now using the 4.06 update.

Anything I can do?

Ok, guys I have the rom done and rooted. I'll be uploading just as soon as I get back from dropping off the kid at school.

Guys, its so nice. They actually fixed everything! Even the build.prop. Go big red!

When it's ready, will you upload on this thread, or a new thread?
[Droid Incredible Android Development] 00McD00:
As per the last OTA release, would you mind if I rebase McSense off of this to get all the fixes and such for the users? Would be greatly appreciated.
[Droid Incredible Android Development] wildstang83:
I just posted the download link and a bit of info. They are located in the OP of this thread.

And yes of course this can be used as a base. Its not mine, lol I just built it and rooted it for yall.

EDIT: And I also posted the DTR as well :)

EDIT TO THE EDIT: I'm also working on a diff so we can see per file what got updated.
[Droid Incredible Android Development] dro10:
Do you flash it or do it in hboot
[Droid Incredible Android Development] wildstang83:
No you flash this through ClockworkMod Recovery. I am using 5.0.2.0. Just make sure you guys follow those install directions just above the download link in the OP.
[Droid Incredible Android Development] dro10:
Ok thanks
[Droid Incredible Android Development] witkowskipe:
If I take that file I just downloaded...do I rename it to update.zip and put it in the root of the sd card and simply restart?

[Droid Incredible Android Development] ezegm:
Does this still have the low space warning?

---------- Post added at 07:45 AM ---------- Previous post was at 07:44 AM ----------

I'm running the Stock 2.2 ROM but am rooted. Can't I just flash this without wiping the cache and etc?
[Droid Incredible Android Development] wildstang83:
NO, you can just take the rom zip as it is and place it on your SD card. Reboot to ClockworkMod Recovery. Just follow the installation instructions in my OP and you should be back up and running in no time! If you need more help, please don't be afraid to ask.

DTR stands for DATA THROTTLE REMOVER. Basically, within the file system there is a peice of code that will initiate a data throttle(3G). This usually happens when you have used more than 5GB of data with in a month. The DTR prevents this throttle from activating by removing that piece of code I mentioned earlier.

For a bit more info you can read here: http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1127368

I have not received any such notification with this build. I think VZW finally did us right this time. And yes, you will want to do a full wipe of everything coming from Froyo to Gingerbread.
[Droid Incredible Android Development] witkowskipe:
So I can't do this without installing CWM?
[Droid Incredible Android Development] wildstang83:
No, your phone must be rooted(s-off) with ClockworkMod 5.0.1.0 or 5.0.2.0 installed.
[Droid Incredible Android Development] NiteRider006:
hmmm, I've been stuck on the white HTC Incredible boot screen for like 15 mins now. Do I need to be worried?
[Droid Incredible Android Development] MACHEK:
Sorry about the newb question but how do you know if you have hboot .92? I rooted using unrevoked, and havent done any flashing or anything. The only thing I've done with root is install Adfree, and Droid wall. Should I be good to go on installing this? Now that all of you got the newest patch, I want to go through with it. Thanks for any advice given!
[Droid Incredible Android Development] witkowskipe:
Even to do the 8MB 4.08 patch? I already have 2.3.4
[Droid Incredible Android Development] droidrage2010:
Just wondering if anyone has a list of what all is changed/fixed in the second OTA fix?

I saw that the build.prop was finally fixed, possibly the low space issue as well? I never had that, but would be nice if there was a fix log somewhere.

Thanks!
[Droid Incredible Android Development] wildstang83:
No don't worry. Just simply pull the battery from your phone. Next, delete the rom zip from your sd card. Redownload the rom from my OP. Place it on your SD card again and this time please verify the MD5 Sum. You must also do a full wipe in cwm recovery as stated in my OP. The MD5 Sum is for verifing that the file is not corrupted, and the full wipe is important for making sure no parts of the old rom that was on your phone remain.

Once you have done a full wipe as instructed in my op then go ahaed and flash. Should be good fter that.

As a side note, first boot should only take around 2-5 minutes.

You can verify your hboot by completely powering of your device. You can just pull the battery to do this. Next power on the device by holding down on volume - and the power button at the same time. Just hold them till it boots. It will boot into hboot and you will see your version on the top of the screen. Most phones SHOULD be on .92 by now anyway, but it is still a good idea just to check.
[Droid Incredible Android Development] RMinor205:
What exactly am I comparing the MD5 sum to? This is what I got in the MD5 calc.

4ad0b3c5cbeee37958e7672a68eb50e8

Is that right!?? LOL
[Droid Incredible Android Development] wildstang83:
Ok, to do just the update your phone must be bone stock. By bone stock I mean on the last OTA 4.06.605.3 un modified with stock recovery and with NO root. You must be s-off however to stay rooted. There is a difference between root and s-off.

Ok, so you would take the patch (not my rom posted in my OP) and rename it to 'update.zip'. You would then place it on the very root of your sd card. This is the place that is not in any folders. You would then power off the device and power up back into hboot as described in my last post just above this one. Hboot will automatically find the update.zip and start to install it. Do not worry. Your screen will appear to shut of and turn back on and shut off and turn back on a quite of few times. Just remain calm. It will boot on its down once it has completed updating it self.

Just in case you need the update.zip it is here: http://dev-host.org/nawbsbkin9y6/update.zip

I am working on a diff right now. So far the things I notice different right away are that settings no longer pops the GPS nag on every boot and of course the build.prop is correct.
[Droid Incredible Android Development] wildstang83:
Yes that is the correct MD5. Remember how when you clicked my link in my op how it took you to my file host website? The MD5 you should compare against is just above the download link on dev-host. You verified AFTER the rom zip was on your sd correct?
[Droid Incredible Android Development] NiteRider006:
Yeah I think i"m screwed. Can't even get into recovery anymore. :(
[Droid Incredible Android Development] RMinor205:
Yes sir I did. I just wasn't sure if that was what I was verifying it too. I don't know much about MD5's, so my thinking was it would change when I copied to the SD, but its still the same. Thank you sir.:cool:
[Droid Incredible Android Development] MACHEK:
Ok, I have that same version. Is there anyway to get the 4.06 to show up again? Originally it said that I downloaded but I kept pressing wait to install. I cant find it in cache, with es explorer, its empty. Any ideas?
[Droid Incredible Android Development] RMinor205:
On second thought, the MD5 changed. What does this mean?
[Droid Incredible Android Development] wildstang83:
Absolutely bud. MD5 is simply a tool that will verify that my file has not corrupted during transfer to other user such as your self. You can read up more on it if you like here: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/MD5

Just a bit of geekery for the unknowing :p
[Droid Incredible Android Development] RMinor205:
Never mind man. I know why that is. I added a ringtone into the ZIP before I copied it. I do it on every ROM and I've never had an issue. It successfully flashed, along with the Kernel, and booted just fine.

---------- Post added at 11:42 AM ---------- Previous post was at 11:41 AM ----------

That's good to know. I've never checked an MD5 before flashing a ROM, but I've also never had any issues flashing ROMs. Thanks for the help! :cool:
[Droid Incredible Android Development] wildstang83:
MMM, it may have deleted it self? I don't really know bud. ES File Explorer is a bit glitchy at times and it doesn't always find things in /cache

If you have the sdk installed you could plug your phone into your computer and pull up a terminal or CMD window and type:

adb remount
adb shell
ls /cache

This should tell you the contents of your /cache if there is anything in there.
[Droid Incredible Android Development] RMinor205:
Are there any MODs that give the signal bar 6-bars?
[Droid Incredible Android Development] witkowskipe:
I am bone stock...I don't understand the s-off part however. So, I put the file in /mnt/sdcard , I did this and powered down, then power+volume - and saw hboot, at this point it looks to have tried some other zip file and then stops with no problem but also does not restart or install the update.zip
[Droid Incredible Android Development] RMinor205:
S-OFF means that the NAND portion of the device is unlocked and can be written to. Consider it a security check point on your phone. If you have S-On, you can't flash anything to it. With S-Off, you are FULLY rooted and can do just about anything you want to.
[Droid Incredible Android Development] wildstang83:
Unfortunately no. The six bar signal bar is limited to those devices that are 4G compatible. However, such a mod can be made by way of some .png trickery.

But this method will never be accurate.

Now with this said, there are certain other roms PORTED from 4G devices that will support the six sig. Those are generally roms ported from a phone like the HTC Evo 4G.

So why can't we just take the needed parts from those roms and put them in this rom? We cant because the roms that have the six bar are Sense 2.1 and up. This rom is only Sense 1.0. Its very hard to backport.
[Droid Incredible Android Development] witkowskipe:
and where do i set this on a bone stock phone?
[Droid Incredible Android Development] wildstang83:
Is your device currently Froyo(2.2) or Gingerbread(2.3.4)? This question is important.
[Droid Incredible Android Development] wildstang83:
I swear, I'm gonna have to hire some people and open a help support tech line :)
[Droid Incredible Android Development] witkowskipe:

My problem updating the Incredible

Hi! I'm on a totally stock Incredible with the 2.3.4 GB update. I received a system update notification this morning...went to install it, and it came up with a message stating that I didn't have enough space to install. Tried to go into the system updates again, and it said no update available. Seems as if it was a once and done attempt. Now....when I put the update.zip file I downloaded on the root of my SD card and boot into HBOOT, it doesn't find the update.zip file for some reason and won't update. Anyone have any idea why this isn't working? Thanks!:confused:
[Droid Incredible Android Development] wildstang83:
Ok, so I assume you are s-off but you still have the stock recovery, meaning not a custom recovery like cwm correct?

No, thats why I asked. Other wise if they are on GB currently and are s-on, they will have to roll back to an earlier hboot, install froyo, root s-off, then reupdate hboot and then flash this rom, very complicated and a process even I am glad I will not have to attempt, lol
[Droid Incredible Android Development] donnyp1:
I dont believe so.
[Droid Incredible Android Development] wildstang83:
lol, donny. Dude can you take over for a bit? I need some coffee, lol
[Droid Incredible Android Development] donnyp1:
Did you install 2.3.4 by flashing a rom, or did you get an ota? If you dont know if your s-off or rooted, then your probably neither and this rom will not work for you.

Once again, this is a rom to be flashed in recovery, clockwork mod, which you install when you root your phone. If you have never rooted, you must wait for the ota.
[Droid Incredible Android Development] wildstang83:
are you certain that you booted into hboot and not 'bootloader'
[Droid Incredible Android Development] wildstang83:
Close, but not entirely true. For those good people that have not rooted yet and who don't want to wait for the update but are on the original GB update, they can grab this update.zip that I provided and place it on the root of their sd card and boot into hboot. Hboot will take it from there. Or SHOULD. It worked for me, lol
[Droid Incredible Android Development] donnyp1:
For those wondering about s-off, just google s-off for the dinc and unrevoked for the dinc. If you are stock and recieved a gb ota update, im afraid your s.o.l though
