Do This

Hey bro, if you have downloaded a custom rom.zip, open that zip file in windows with unzip etc. You will see a file called Build.prop, open that file in your windows with notepad etc, Now only go and change the part that says some thing like ro.ril.desity=250, This is just an example I am giving you so do not use these exact numbers. Once you find out the density for your phone screen then you can add your density into that line(i.e.=250). Once you have changed that, save the file and put it back into your rom.zip. Windows will ask you if you want to replace the existing file in build.prop, and you must say yes. Once that is waxed, wipe your phone clean, sd-card,battery stats, rotate settings, everything. Then plug ya phone up to pc via usb, open 91pcsuite and transfer your edited rom.zip file onto your sd card. Flash that to ya phone and reboot, bang, after waiting to reboot you should have the correct screen lcd density size etc. Follow these steps to the letter and make sure you have a rom.zip that relates to your phone. Otherwise, download original firmware for your device, put it on your sd card in a folder called dload. Then pull out battery and turn on by holding endcall(red button), volume up and power on. Hold these keys down in order and keep each one pressed while pressing the other. You will see your phone saying"installing and unpacking firmware update", once this is done reboot ya phone. Either of these methods will work for you and dont be scared to try these things out. Your phone is basically useless now so anything you do can only improve the situation, so go wild and have a ball. This is the only way we learn, do not stress, sooner or later you will wax it. Especially if you follow directions well and can do google searches well. Anyways bro God Bless, hope you wax it.

What has most likely happened is you used an app like advanced settings/ toolbox pro, and you changed your lcd settings, which is what I did twice. It then tells you to reboot and then your screen is screwed. Now, what you have to remember is somewhere on your phone, these stupid settings have been stuck/glued in place, because it seems that you are unable to rectify by wiping. Make sure you install the correct recovery, try huwei ideos 3.0.0.5, this works well. Then try wiping again before installing/flashing a new rom. If you can wipe everything correctly then these settings will dissappear and installing a new rom will fix the lcd density prob. Wipe, wipe,wipe.

---------- Post added at 11:39 AM ---------- Previous post was at 11:36 AM ----------

Oh,and make sure you get the exact density for your screen, not smaller, not bigger, exact. Otherwise you sill not have the correct aspect ratio no matter what you do. Exact, exact, exact.
[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] jutopa:
Mmmm. I opened all the roms that i' ve found for my phone and all says density=120 (included the wrong rom). And that's my actually rom density (and that's the correct density for my ´phone i guess, because it's the only one that gets the screen looks good and not strange)

And, I have never play with any other app apart from the calibration app (a very ****ing idiot app, because it only ask for two "press" and then it calibrates, diferrently from the calb ap from the stock room that ask for 4 points { and i hve problem with the ones in the bottom of the screen, near the real buttoms]

I have done the dload method, (with tawahahas help) like i said before and nothing happened.

I will try now to erase everything with clockwork (i can't install 3.05 beacuse i can only find the bat file for 3.04 , and i don't know how to intalled it with a different method) like you said, but I have done this before with amonra (which has more wipes options than the clockwork) and nothing happened. I don't know :S PLeeeeeeeeeease help. Thank you so much!.

I have tried this several times and it always gets stuck in the same spot. I have used adb before to root several of my Eris's. This one just doesn't seem to be working right.

It gets stuck at the

Do you have any suggestions?
[Verizon Droid Incredible 2] andybones:
Wish I could help.. do you have the drivers installed?

also try turning off your virus protections firewall when trying. never know.

I turned everything off, I installed the drivers in the package and I have the PDAnet drivers installed.

Comments on Red DI2 having issues with downgrade & root - updated w. log

Yeah, I hear you - DW's DI2 in red was in my hands last evening, took several hours while watching TV to get it done, finally - it should've been an easy one, but it wasn't.

Downgrade to HB.97 was easier, after uninstalling/rebooting & installing HTC drivers, etc. per excellent instructions. There're hidden usb/phone/device drivers that're conflicting & trying to run (use the OEM cable, it's better vs. a generic or Moto's.) Had to reboot both pc & phone a few times to try to get it to work together.

Getting the revolutionary to see the phone, run & zerging root was the challenge - finally managed to do it with relative success on an older laptop that I primary used as a backup when I'm on field assignment (XP-SP3 with antivirus/firewall disabled). Next, it would flash CWM's image file, after several attempts, went back to regular PC and used adb command to push it, worked & then reboot into recovery, did a full CWM Backup first, then flash the zip file to gain SU. It's now back on 2.3.3 & Sense 2.1 (instead of 2.3.4 and 3.0 as shipped)

I did it once before with the black DI2 so I figure it should be easy, it took more time with the locked bootloader on this red DI2. Seemed like the hidden VZ VCast Media Manager might be responsible, it's hiding somewhere and/or loading (install to a new PC) as soon as the device is connected, even in Charge Only mode - I'm too tired at this point to track it down & try a # of tools to uninstall it. Check the your lower right corner of the screen for the red V logo/symbol once you connect the DI2 to the PC before running the tools ....

Be patience & repeat, the only thing that I forget to try was to do a battery pull to power cycle it (something that I've done as recommended on SE phones).

[I]P.S. I saved last night's command prompt log of the downgrade - and for awhile, it was at a standstill with ZergRush, waiting for device & unable to find and identify the DI2. (see the attached log) - rechecked md5 sum, etc. - but, it came thru. [/I]
[Verizon Droid Incredible 2] Steve One:
I've tried to uninstall that media sync also to no avail just right click and close you see it disappear if it shows back up close again
[Verizon Droid Incredible 2] Macrodroid:
I had to do this on one of VZW's Red DI2's as well; My main PC is a Linux Mint machine and ADB had been broken for a while... I had to update the Android SDK and re-install Java to get it working again. Try updating the SDK and re-installing java. After that, type in "./adb devices" and see if it can find it. If you still get the "????????????", you may need to change your rules file to identify the phone...
[Verizon Droid Incredible 2] scouter68:
I am not enjoying this... it still gets stuck at the same point. It is waiting on the device, the phone boots into the boot loader and just waits... forever.

I have re-installed the drivers and updated the SDK to make sure I have the latest USB drivers. I will restart the computer and the phone again and try later. :mad:
[Verizon Droid Incredible 2] ericralph:
I'm also having some annoying issues with this.

View attachment 942722

Here's the command log that I've typically been getting, tried to downgrade my phone like 10 times, and it normally reboots running 2.3.4 after each try. (HBoot 0.98 fyi)

No idea what's going on, if someone on here is more adept at reading commands, could you tell me what's up?

Thanks in advance.
[Verizon Droid Incredible 2] disconnecktie:
I had a lot of trouble getting the downgrade to work too. I had to type each command in manually in adb versus letting the tool do it. For some reason the tool was getting hung up during the process. Another thing I did was disabled the screen off on the phone while it is in charging mode and disabled my comps screen saver.

[Verizon Droid Incredible 2] jrizk07:
This is because you don't have the fastboot drivers working correctly. You'll need to uninstall the PDAnet drivers and all other drivers on your machine for that matter and restart your computer to clean out those uninstalls. Then install the newer HTC drivers.

You can test if you have your adb folder setup correctly by doing "fastboot devices" instead of "adb devices" while in the bootloader

[XPERIA X10 General] sahibunlimited:
What he did was very good he gave the keys/password/tools to hack ps3 and that was huge

Many people were selling dongles to run 3rd party apps and pirate games

But he released a software solution for running 3rd party apps but did not support piracy and what he think was knowledge should be free and shouldn't be sold(as people sold dongles)

Sony sued him and all his money got over unlike iPhone's court case he lost this one against sony and lost all his money and can't reverse any Sony product so also can't touch x10(that was the reason)

Now the ps3 hacking Sence is stuck at the place where geohot left it only some progress is made

People also hate him their coz he bashed some people who enabled piracy using his tools;)
