I had problems when using the 'wipe' option before flashing my a different Rom. I chose every option except sdcard and then flashed the Rom.

The ROM had several FCs during the setup process and when it did start I had numerous bad app icons left over from the previous ROM.

I tried twice, went back to CWM, cleared using the 5.0.2 recovery, flashed and all is well.

I will stay with CWM: most likely for the life of my Dinc.
[Droid Incredible Android Development] accord1:
I had problems with the install of any ROM getting to any point and all of a sudden, it's like it freezes and then had wipe options pop up. So back to CWR I go too :( I liked this because I could use the touch screen. lol.
[Droid Incredible Android Development] ezeuba:
Thanks to a previous backup done with CWM 5.0.2.0, I now have my phone in full working order. Not going to mess with stuff unless tried and tested by others...
[Droid Incredible Android Development] Dees_Troy:
Most likely the issues that you guys are experience are due to improper handling of formatting partitions on MTD based devices. Running a super wipe or wipe all zip before restoring should clear up the issues until we can fix the issues with MTD devices. I'm waiting on delivery of an EVO 4G so that I can fix problems on MTD devices. Sorry for the issues.

If someone would like to stop by our IRC channel (link in the OP) and ping me, I have a new build that should fix the issues. I need someone to test it though.

How to use

How would I use this? I went back to stock and got the 2.3.4 update and then tried rooting again but cannot. Will this get me back to 2.2 so i can root again? I also need to get to s-off
[Droid Incredible Android Development] ezeuba:
OP, please pardon the off-topic. About getting back to s-off and root, your best bet is to run the froyo ruu (search these forums for download and instructions, it's somewhere here) and get your device back to bone stock froyo, then use unrevoked for root and s-off. After that search in the forums and download the GB stock rooted ROM from wildstang (his is the closest to stock Inc GB) and you are good to go, still rooted. Let me know if you got it working with the instructions. Cheers.

[Droid Incredible Android Development] Quantumrabbit:
This is what you're missing: Teamwin Blog Dec 17 2011. Long story short, project has been tabled indefinitely. I'd stick to Clockwork or Amon Ra.
[Droid Incredible Android Development] PMGRANDS:
So this Recovery is basically No More?
[Droid Incredible Android Development] kschwarz88:
You can still use it, but we wouldn't recommend it. There's multiple reports from other users at XDA that it doesn't wipe partitions properly.

Plus I'd hate to see somebody bork their phone to a silly recovery.

I like the idea, but the support behind it is lacking.
[Droid Incredible Android Development] Quantumrabbit:
I agree. Hopefully some of the benefits, like touchscreen recovery instead of volume/power buttons is added to ClockWork. That is Team Win's new aim, and I'm rooting for it.
[Droid Incredible Android Development] Dees_Troy:
The problem with TWRP before was a lack of support for datadata, but I added support for it a while back so if someone wants to try this:

I'm not sure what changed from 2.2.0 that I was using, but backups are twice as fast now, good work!

Hands down the best recovery that exists in my opinion.
[Droid Incredible Android Development] ardax:
I don't see EMMC in the mount menu. Should it be there, or should it be lumped in under SDCard? It doesn't seem to be mounted in the file manager.
[Droid Incredible Android Development] Dees_Troy:
Sorry about that. I didn't notice that the Inc had an internal sdcard. I pushed out a 2.2.2.2 update that should include emmc as well as sdcard.
[Droid Incredible Android Development] Zimeron:
If "use external SD" is checked, /emmc and /sdcard are mounted. If "Use Internal Storage" is checked /emmc is mounted twice.

Thanks again.

Trying to install recovery from goomanager on my Droid incredible. After a couple of tries got image to install but it always goes to hboot. A couple of others are having same problem. This is from the incredible development thread for ponsasinorem cm10
[Droid Incredible Android Development] cmlusco:
Tried it for fun. It flashed fine the first try, but then it just sits indefinitley at the splash screen when trying to access it.
[Droid Incredible Android Development] Pons:
It seems hit or miss when installing. I've never had it say it didn't install fine. But once it actually does install fine, it's golden.
[Droid Incredible Android Development] zachf714:
Just do a reinstall
[Droid Incredible Android Development] jacobsensei:
I think this recovery has problems wiping partitions.

Do a backup and actually try restoring it.

There are always non-recoverable errors for me.

CWM 5.0.2.0 works flawlessly, unfortunately, no touch version.
[Droid Incredible Android Development] cmlusco:
I could not get it to flash right untill i got the actuall img file and made my own PB31IMG.zip with it http://dinc.does-it.net/Recoveries/TWRP_2.2.2.0/PB31IMG.zip. Once i could access it, i did a backup and then booted to the os. There i found that no apps cold get root anymore. I had to clear superuser apps data to get it working again. I then went back to twrp, wiped everything and restored the backup. Apon booting i got a uid mismatch error, and most of my apps would not work. So i tried it again from the begining and still get the same issues.

This is a great effort but seems to have problems, and some options missing that cwm offers. There is a cwm touch recovery for the inc, i have been using it for a couple months now. Im not sure where i got it from, but it works great with no issues, and can also restore non touch version backups. Here is a link to the file if anyone is interested. http://dinc.does-it.net/Recoveries/CWM-Touch_5.8.4.3/PB31IMG.zip

Isn't this the invisiblek CWM touch recovery.

I can install from GooManager on first try and I have no Partition trouble I can always restore without probs
[Droid Incredible Android Development] Pons:
Me, too. I've installed ROMs, wiped data, restored ROMs, all without problems. It's my preferred recovery since it ties into Goo Manager and I can use Goo Manager to download and flash my ROM. Much like I used to use CWM and ROM Manager to download and install CM7.

I've also installed ROMs and made backups/restored backups without any problems whatsoever.

Updated to 2.3.0.0
[Droid Incredible Android Development] Zimeron:
Tried eight times to flash in Goo, loads into fastboot, can't go to recovery from HBOOT.

Trying to flash it in fastboot (latest version), with s-off, I get:

sending 'recovery' (3638 KB)...
OKAY [ 0.530s]
writing 'recovery'...
FAILED (remote: not allowed)
finished. total time: 0.540s

First time I've had issues, any ideas? I know on the touchpad I could flash it using terminal commands, but not finding anything for the inc.
[Droid Incredible Android Development] Pons:
Seems hit or miss for me. I flashed it once and rebooted (did that twice each), and went to HBOOT. I flashed it twice and then rebooted it, and it worked.
[Droid Incredible Android Development] musical_chairs:
The first time I installed TWRP, it just worked. I was experimenting with a touch-enabled build of clockworkmod I got here on xda, and wanted to go back to TWRP and all I could get was HBOOT. I flashed this latest recovery three times in a row before rebooting, and that worked (got that idea from Pons BTW). Whatever...I really do like TWRP, but something is weird about how it installs itself.
[Droid Incredible Android Development] omniatic:
Flashed once. Rebooted into recovery. Worked fine, 1st time.

Just lucky, I guess.

...sorry...I was on the phone...
[Droid Incredible Android Development] tiny4579:
Looks like the ext4 mods don't flash on the latest recovery version 2.3. Status 2 error. Error below

wrong updater binary API; expected 1 or 2, got 3
E:Error in /emmc/Convert2Ext4_normal_data.v1.0.zip

Do I need to replace the update-binary files in all of them and will they be backwards compatible on older ones?

---------- Post added at 12:09 AM ---------- Previous post was at 12:04 AM ----------

That won't work with just S-OFF so you need to upgrade to the latest HBOOT and unlock your bootloader or use the Eng bootloader (SLCD not advised as there will be no display in the bootloader).
[Droid Incredible Android Development] zimlokks:
i have the same problem as Tiny i replaced the update-binary in the zip with the one i downloaded still no go!
[Droid Incredible Android Development] Pons:
In short, yes.

From [RECOVERY]TWRP 2.3.0.0 touch recovery [2012-10-11]:
[Droid Incredible Android Development] Zimeron:
Ugh, I don't want to upgrade HBOOT and reunlock again, thanks for telling me that's what I need though.
[Droid Incredible Android Development] tiny4579:
You can try flashing it from recovery using adb:

adb push recovery.img /tmp
adb shell flash_image recovery /tmp/recovery.img

I've flashed recovery from recovery using the flash_image command before I unlocked my bootloader.

Also if you upgrade HBOOT you should stay S-OFF. I think the unlocked bootloader is great for kernels because I can test them out without building a .zip and if I don't like that build or it has issues I reboot and it's back to the previously flashed kernel.

Edit: Yeah it works.

And pons, the update-binary posted above doesn't work on this device in TWRP 2.2 or TWRP 2.3. For now I'll have to make a note that TWRP 2.3 can't be used to flash my kernels.

Error is format() expects 5 args, got 2.

If I have to modify the format in the updater-script and have two versions of each kernel flashable zip, that isn't something I really want to do. It will confuse users further. I guess the best option would be make a new update-binary for the inc. I remember update-binary files not working on all devices.
[Droid Incredible Android Development] Zimeron:
This would work if I could get into recovery, but it just takes me to fastboot. :) I'll make a note of this.

[e] and it finally flashed through goo manager.
[Droid Incredible Android Development] zimlokks:
possible fix for kernel updating?

this is Tiny's jellybean incredikernel that is flushable via TWRP umm read tha read me! hehe :D

download here : http://d-h.st/FyG

and excuse me if i should of asked permission to use your kernel! im sorry! lol nd yes the update-binary does work!
[Droid Incredible Android Development] tiny4579:
Does it work on the older twrp?
[Droid Incredible Android Development] zimlokks:

[Droid Incredible Android Development] zimlokks:
it works! sorry for the delay wasnt flashing the recovery properly it flashed flawlessly again lol
[Droid Incredible Android Development] tiny4579:
So 2.2 and 2.3 are good. Can someone try with cwm to compare?
[Droid Incredible Android Development] icomrade:
I flashed over from CWM, this is a much more user friendly interface and has a better layout. There is really nothing dramatically different in terms of what the recovery does.

P.s. I had to flash the latest one twice, but it works great.
[Droid Incredible Android Development] Pons:
He meant does the inc kernel (posted above) work on CWM.
[Droid Incredible Android Development] zimlokks:
the only problem may be mounting the system in cwm since it was removed nd wiping dalvik+cache
[Droid Incredible Android Development] tiny4579:
That's not too big of an issue with the jellybean kernel but you won't get a fresh copy of the zram script. Dalvik and cache can be wiped manually if needed but they're not really needed for a kernel, it was in there to be safe.
[Droid Incredible Android Development] zimlokks:
yea true anyways there should be a way to mount system ill do some research nd testing later to see wat can be done im nt home nd battery is dead
[Droid Incredible Android Development] tiny4579:
Already found it and put it in a test kernel zip.
[Droid Incredible Android Development] zimlokks:
cool has it been tested?
[Droid Incredible Android Development] tiny4579:
It works on twrp 2.2 and 2.3. It should be backwards compatible with TWRP and CWM as this same update-binary works on CWM for flashing CM10. So my zips are behind the times.
[Droid Incredible Android Development] musical_chairs:
I saw this on the xda news post about TWRP 2.3 and thought maybe this would explain why some people were having trouble restoring backups earlier.
[Droid Incredible Android Development] ardax:
I've tried downloading twice and can't get an MD5 match. What's the proper MD5 for this update-binary?
[Droid Incredible Android Development] Dees_Troy:
Updated to 2.3.1.0
[Droid Incredible Android Development] mh0520:
Is there a way to install 2.3.1 directly in fastboot? Can I simply rename the .img file to PB31img.zip?

I'm having a lot of trouble installing through gooManager.

Thanks.
[Droid Incredible Android Development] icomrade:
Goomanager very rarely works properly. It "successfully" installed the new 2.3.1 update twice and I continue to end up in the boot loader when rebooting to recovery. HBOOT 1.07 (unlocked).
[Droid Incredible Android Development] musical_chairs:
You can install it via fastboot USB. Instructions are on the bottom of this page:

http://www.teamw.in/project/twrp2/4
[Droid Incredible Android Development] mh0520:
I got the same error as zimeron when I tried to use adb. I'm also not particularly interested in having to update HBOOT and reunlock again. I guess I'll revert to 2.2 until this is a little more reliable through goomanager.
[Droid Incredible Android Development] zachf714:
rename it to recovery.img and ut into fastboot fastboot flash recovery recovery.img
[Droid Incredible Android Development] That Baker Guy:
yeah goo manager isnt flashing it correctly
[Droid Incredible Android Development] mh0520:
Do ext4 mods work in 2.3? I know at one point it didn't sound like they did but I'm just curious if that's resolved.

Thanks.
[Droid Incredible Android Development] Zimeron:
Keep trying. The final attempt that got it to work for me was using the reboot from the power menu, not the goo app. Either way, it took three attempts for this one and nine for the last.
[Droid Incredible Android Development] icomrade:
I ended up trying it about 20 time, eventually I just flashed it twice without rebooting in between each flash and it worked. :)
[Droid Incredible Android Development] That Baker Guy:
still nothing guys, can some one just do us all a favor and post a zip?
[Droid Incredible Android Development] mhejek:
For someone get fail.I try this.download goo.im from playgoogle.open goo. I'm .press menu.install TWRP.after download complete.reboot.try a couple time.I had tried 2 times to get it work
[Droid Incredible Android Development] burnmatoaka:
Yeah. I finally got 2.3.1.0 to successfully install and boot. I tried flashing once from goo manager, which booted to fastboot. Rebooted system then flashed three times via too manager. Success!

Granted I've attempted this many many times using those exact steps resulting in consistent failure. Just got lucky finally. I really didn't think my inc would ever let TWRP stick, but it eventually did. An update.zip of this would be awesome. I don't have the hardware or skills to hook that up, though.
[Droid Incredible Android Development] charincol:
Here's a zip that's Bootloader flashable. I've tested it on my DINC.

[Droid Incredible Android Development] Dees_Troy:

[Droid Incredible Android Development] tekweezle:
just in case anyone wants to know, i tried on 2 different Dincs to update via Goomanager and it downloads the img file but failed to launch recovery or install. actually blew away the recovery already installed after getting a message saying that the image was installed successfully.

so i did the 2nd method which is to use ADB/Fastboot to install the image. So thus far most fool proof way to install for me has been to use ADB.
[Droid Incredible Android Development] thelunchboxosu:
Just had the same issue, you are not alone!
[Droid Incredible Android Development] ffuser1:
failed to get it to work from goo manager. it did lose my CWM recovery, which I had to reinstall. is there no pb31img.zip we can use to install?
[Droid Incredible Android Development] tiny4579:
The best and most reliable way is adb or fastboot which is pretty simple I think. With fastboot you can do:

fastboot flash recovery openrecovery-twrp-2.3.3.0-inc.img

From recovery in shell

flash_image recovery openrecovery-twrp-2.3.3.0-inc.img

Edit: If you want a PB31IMG.zip for updating, here's one that you just need to rename to PB31IMG.zip and place on the root of your sdcard:

http://goo.im/devs/tiny4579/mods/PB31IMG-TWRP-2.3.3.0.zip
[Droid Incredible Android Development] ffuser1:
thanks a bunch. works perfectly. huge improvement of cwm
[Droid Incredible Android Development] thelunchboxosu:
For some reason boot loader does not recognize the zip file.
[Droid Incredible Android Development] tiny4579:
Make sure it's renamed to PB31IMG.zip and not PB31IMG.zip.zip which if you add .zip to the end it may be a second .zip due to the way windows associates file types and hides extensions by default. If you check your sdcard it's an easy way to test the filename is correct.

If the file's named correctly you may need to format your sd card as FAT32. This will wipe your sdcard but sometimes the bootloader doesn't recognize the sdcard properly and cmlusco could better comment on that.

My recommendation is that you can still use the flash_image command above but that doesn't solve the PB31IMG.zip not being picked up in bootloader.
[Droid Incredible Android Development] thelunchboxosu:
Reformatting the card did the trick, thanks a bunch!
