hey! okay, this is what happened last night when rooting my phone w/ your directions, and i'll post it in case it happens to anyone else, so that they know what to do. and don't freak out, like i did, cuz i'm a noob.

i followed the directions for rooting, Step 8. i was doing the directions for 2.3.4.

after i clicked "OK," to root (don't unplug your phone and replug your phone when you see the warning screen, btw. that will mess up unrevoked. just start the process over again if you do.) i waited and waited, like... 10 minutes? maybe not even that. you see Unrevoked go through a bunch of notifications and techno-mumbo-jumbo.

after that, unrevoked 3.22 said "done." however, when i looked at my phone, it was this strange screen that was black, had Turquoise Blue menu options up at the top, and white script on the bottom. There was this error message...

"clockworkmod revovery v5.0.2.0 (other stuff...)

wating for sd card to mount (other stuff...)

sd card mounded...

verifying sd card marker...

sd card marker not found...

checking internal sd card marker...

error verifying extendedcommand.

error processing rom manager scipt. please verify that you have ROM manager v.4.4.0.0. or higher installed

/tmp/recovery.log was copied to /sdcard/clockworkmod/recovery.log Please open ROM manager to report the issue."

i was a little worried, cuz it said ERROR! but i knew something had happened, because It said Clockworkmod up (recovery?) top. after consulting my friend, he assured me that that was a good thing. i was in Recovery, and I wouldnt' be in that if i was not rooted. Also, after reading the error message, it looked like it was saying simply that it could not find ROM manager. so, due to my awesome friend's suggestion, i made a back up of my current ROM, aka my current the Stock ROM, aka it's like backing up every single file and setting on your phone, from there.

sat through all the back up stuff. from there, your phone reboots, and this takes a while, almost 10 minutes.

After it rebooted, I was back, baby! Stock everything showed up, all of my launcher settings and everything showed up, it was great! I proceeded to follow the directions using ROM Manager (I did have to try making a backup twice, the first gave me a permission error, but after that it was smooth sailing).

So, thank you!

NOW, i haven't done the MOD, "Convert2Ext4_no_data_limit_normal_dalvik.zip" yet, but i will soon. this will install a mod on top of a gingerbread type ROM, right? only I won't notice any differences except for the notice going away, right?

again, thanks for the help, hope this post helps.
[Droid Incredible General] cmlusco:
Correct the low space warning should go away other than that nothing noticible. You can install a terminal emulator app and then in it type " mount " without quotes. You will see a bunch of lines of text. Look for a linr that has /data and another line that has /cache, after both of them you should see the word ext4.
[Droid Incredible General] funkpod:
hello! yes! it works! thank you so much! and you're right, i don't notice a single thing at all. yay!

question: so, what in the world is on my phone that is taking up so much space? ;) before i applied the fix, i said i only have 10 mb free of the 150. and now i have... 175mb free of the 750. it's a lot left, but what is in there? if i move apps to SD, that frees up some of the room, correct? i tried checking under settings>sd card & storage, but when i moved something, it would take a couple of minutes for my phone to notice, or something. i wasn't sure if it directly correlated my move.

anyways, thanks for the help!

now, i'm getting the rom bug. i am already an EXTREMELY heavy launcher user, changing icons and themes all the time, love the stuff on the #colormeandroid page of deviant art, etc. i might be flashing a new rom sooner than i thought. any recommendations on good stable roms? and it would have to work w/ this MOD fixing the space issue...

so anyways, yes, the fix works! very good directions, a must follow. and there are lots of people that can help you on these forums as well, thank yoU!
[Droid Incredible General] SlimSnoopOS:
Funkpod,

If you customize your launcher and use themes then you should use CM7.2. Using custom launchers on Sense removes much of the point of Sense which you are already aware. CM7.2 is CyanogenMod 7.2, an Android Open Source (AOSP) rom. It is highly functional with many features AND it makes perfect sense to customize/apply themes cuz stock Android on Gingerbread is ugly. You can either use the rom by Pons or the rom by Computerwiz, I use Pons' Kang CM7.2 rom and it just flies for me. Word of advice, the mod will be removed when you flash a new rom so you have to apply the mod each time you flash a rom. Try to re-install the ext4 mod only after you have used the new rom and ensured its working for you. If you have any first install issues, this helps to isolate the problems.

Oh, and welcome to the world of rooting! Glad you could get understand and successfully root. Once you root, it's very easy to get the urge to flash roms and see what you have been missing.
[Droid Incredible General] funkpod:
thanks for the quick response! question, i heard that this mod only works for gingersense and miui roms? i don't know if that's true or not, someone mentioned it on the original forum, i don't know if he meant that it ALSO worked on cyanogenmod, and he didn't mention it, or if it only worked on gingersense and miui...

[Droid Incredible General] SlimSnoopOS:
I'm not sure why Cmlusco said that part about it only working on those two rom types, but it does work on every Gingerbread rom. It's in the title of the ext4 mod and detailed in the OP where the download links are.
[Droid Incredible General] funkpod:
Hello, maybe it's my own ignorance in ROM knowledge.

so, i see here,

http://www.cyanogenmod.com/blog/cyanogenmod-7-2-0-rc1-is-upon-us

that it is ...

"It’s been a long time in the making, but it’s finally here: CyanogenMod 7.2, the latest version based on Android 2.3(.7), has reached the release candidate stage!"

so, 2.3 is gingerbread, so their "2.3(.7)" still makes it compatible w/ the mod, right? very interesting. it might be faster without sense on top?
[Droid Incredible General] SlimSnoopOS:
The .x releases are typically bug fixes and improvements that Google has published to the source code that pushed to other devices at a later date. The short answer to your two questions is yes. AOSP is typically more efficient on battery and less susceptible to lag than Sense roms. What's included in any 2.3.x release doesn't resolve the way HTC skimped the manner this phone handles app space.

Edit: 2.2 = Froyo, 2.3.x = Gingerbread.
[Droid Incredible General] 3960tran:
Got to Rom Manager and now stuck

I got thru step 8 and used the ROM Manager app. Once it was done my phone went to the white HTC Incredible screen and now comes off and on every few seconds. I've taken out the battery and tried restarting my phone. I'm not sure what to do now. I went back to the HBOOT screen, but since I'm so new at this wasn't sure what to do. I did notice the 'S' was in the 'on' position.

Is there a way to back or should I follow the thread for root 2.3.4, downgrade, and S-off, another way to fix the issue, or ?

I just want to get the "Low on space" problem fixed. It's driving me crazy.

Thanks for any suggestions and help.
[Droid Incredible General] funkpod:
hey, i think you are in a boot loop.

i think you can take your battery out, put it back in, hold down the volume down and the power button. i think that should take you back into clockworkmod recovery. and then you can reboot from your saved rom backup?
[Droid Incredible General] 3960tran:
It worked! Of course I was trying not to flip out while it was rebooting and still was unsure of everything.

All I can say is I hate not being technology literate. It takes 4x or more longer to figure things out and that's a maybe.

Thanks for the quick response and the help.

One other question. I got the "Low On Space" problem fixed. Thanks a lot.

It looks like the S is in the 'On' position. Would I need to have it 'off' to take off the bloatware and to use my phone as a tether. If I do what would I need to do?

I did see the thread for 'root 2.3.4 downgrade, and s-off', but was kind of overwhelmed about what to do since I have done some if it.

Thanks again.
[Droid Incredible General] funkpod:
I'm in the same boat. I am going to sit on my root and not worry about s off or anything else for a while. Maybe I will install cyanogenmod 7, see how that is. No rush.

I'm glad that I helped! Very surprised that I could, in fact. Good stuff.
[Droid Incredible General] spcagigas:
Excellent! My wife has been getting this error on her Incredible for ages. It will be great to fix it for her. Now, if I can just port her phone poor of her hands...

[Droid Incredible General] tiny4579:
Not sure if this question has been answered but in case it hasn't I'll summarize.

The included kernel (gingertiny 10/15) doesn't have the best compass support - it's a port - but if you flash a later release (on page 1 of the development thread) it should take care of it.
[Droid Incredible General] bigdaddyinc:

OK, I followed all the instructions, and kept getting an error message "Failed to get root". Now my Incredible just boots to the white HTC Incredible screen and nothing else. I searched and tried some recommended fixes but the seem to be for rooted phones and I don't believe the root was successful.

Any help please.

I just reflashed Gingerbread back to stock. And I have tried again, and it is doing the same exact thing. Except Unrevoked said "done" but the phone was stuck on a black screen with white borders, and if I try to boot the phone back up it just loops to the white htc incredible screen.

[Droid Incredible General] Stupifier:
I need help....quickly if possible. I am on Step 8 (Root Your Phone) running Android Version 2.3.4

On my computer, the Unrevoked program said 'Done' (after many other messages and many automatic phone reboots). Now, on my phone....I have the EXACT same thing as the following poster:

http://xdaforums.com/showpost.php?p=24761438&postcount=51

The turquoise blue menu options at the top that the poster mentions are the following:

-reboot system now

-apply update from sdcard

-wipe data/factory reset

-install zip from sdcard

-backup and restore

-mounts and storage

-advanced

-power off

Please advise me what to do at this screen. The instructions tell me to unplug phone and ensure that a "superuser Permissions" application is inside app drawer. Well....I have no idea how to go beyond this current screen to even check my app drawer. I followed the OP instructions to the letter. Anything outside of those instructions, I have not done. What's next?

**UPDATE**

I did not know you have to press the Trackball button when you select options in Recovery Mode......I was pressing the power button the whole time and it wasn't working. Nobody told me this. I chose the 'Reboot System Now' option and it looks like I'm onto the next step. Just thought I'd share what my problem/solution was. I think this should be cleared up

**ANOTHER UPDATE w/Question**

Everything went just fine. Method worked great! Thank you! But I have the same question as the other guy has....this question was not answered by anyone either. His question is

"question: so, what in the world is on my phone that is taking up so much space? before i applied the fix, i said i only have 10 mb free of the 150. and now i have... 175mb free of the 750. it's a lot left, but what is in there? if i move apps to SD, that frees up some of the room, correct? i tried checking under settings>sd card & storage, but when i moved something, it would take a couple of minutes for my phone to notice, or something. i wasn't sure if it directly correlated my move. "

This is even more pronounced on my phone. 393mb used and 355mb free. What the hell racked up so much space in this whole process? Please explain
[Droid Incredible General] funkpod:
hey, wusup? i don't exactly know what is taking up all your space, or my space, but it sounds like you have a lot more free space than i do! ;) just move as many apps to sd as you can and you should have more than enough space, hopefully until your next upgrade.

btw, i'm glad that my instructions helped. from that screen, you just make a backup file while you're in clockworkmod recovery, and then reset.

how're you enjoying your rooted phone? I plan on installing the latest cyanogenmod 7 nightly tonight, w/ incredikernel.

Problem with rebooting into recovery

Whenever I use Rom manager to reboot into recovery my incredible goes onto the white htc screen and then a black line appears followed by a black screen with white stripes on the very side. The same thing happens whenever I put my phone in recovery mode via power/volume down button. Does anybody have any suggestions on what to do?
[Droid Incredible General] Stupifier:
To be honest, I'm seriously considering only removing bloatware and keeping everything else how it is. I've been reading and seeing stuff about ROMs and Kernels for a couple years now....it all sounds fascinating but a bit overwhelming at the moment. For example, doing a quick google search for incredikernel brought me to the maker's homepage.....yet the dev doesn't talk at all about what this kernels features/benefits are.

Also, S-off or S-on? Using the rooting method in this thread....which am I? And if I'm still S-on, can I flash ROMs and put new kernels on safely?

Another question:

So, all I've done is followed the rooting/low-space removal instructions here. I go to About Phone and see this in the Kernal Version:

What kernal is that!? Also, if I wanna just flash IncrediKernal without any custom ROM on my Droid Incredible....can I just use the IncrediKernal Sense versions found at the bottom of the Dev's latest downloads page

Can I use the latest version (the one I mention below)?

2.6.35.14 gingertiny-v2 03/11/2012 (956)
[Droid Incredible General] funkpod:
i was super duper overwhelmed, i only rooted last week! well, no, 2 weeks ago, now. I only did it to get the Low STorage Notification to go away. Now, i'm looking to improve the performance of my phone.

I think the INcredikernel will improve battery life and allow for Fast Charge, which, umm, charges fast. but yeah, i noticed the same thing too, the maker doesn't explain at all on his site why flash Incredikernel at all.

after this method, you will still have s-on. s-on just means that verizon or htc can undo your root it you get an over the air update. s-off is a whole new level of rooting, don't worry about doing it yet. give yourself some time and do it later, i'd say.
[Droid Incredible General] Stupifier:
Could anyone answer this question for me though?

Another question:

So, all I've done is followed the rooting/low-space removal instructions here. I go to About Phone and see this in the Kernal Version:

2.6.35.10-ginertiny+

Well I just flashed that version anyway. Been a couple hours using it, everything seems alright. I did have a couple freeze/reboots...not quite sure why. Its blazing fast though! Remarkable difference in speed.
[Droid Incredible General] cmlusco:
Gingertiny is the kernel installed with the ext4 mods. The low space (ext4) mods require a kernel that supports ext4. I am unsure if incredikernel does, but i believe so. Ginger tiny is a great kernel and has just about everything you could want, ext4, usb fast charge, over / under clocking, over / under volting. Has several great governors including smartass v2 my favorite. It also supports 2.4ghz wireless N. I also believe that chad the maker of incredikernel and tiny of gingertiny colaborate together on both kernels.
[Droid Incredible General] Stupifier:
Excellent. Thank You for clearing that up for me!
[Droid Incredible General] Hextall:
I'm still on Froyo on my incredible*, does the low space warning mod work on froyo, or just gingerbread?

[Droid Incredible General] robert1010:
Thnx for that! Got the file...

I'm running Miui GB 2.4.20, so presumed I could just go strait to step 10. Booted my Moto Defy into recovery and installed Convert2Ext4_no_data_limit_normal_dalvik.zip. When I rebooted my defy, it started installing an app (1.8mb) that failed before because of low on space. A few seconds later the message was back. When I had a look at the free space, nothing changed. :eek:

What to do, what to do?
[Droid Incredible General] cmlusco:
I dont think this will work on a motorola defy. Motorola has different sytem paths and files than the incredible.
[Droid Incredible General] tiny4579:
The basic /system /data and /cache structure would still exist. If the mod works it still will do absolutely nothing for the Defy unless the defy has a separate /data/data partition. It may have ext4 by default already. However it's usually not a good idea to flash a mod for a different phone. In this case it should be safe; however I wouldn't advise it.
[Droid Incredible General] robert1010:
I didn't realise it was for a particular model. But it looks like it didn't do anything at all.

Is there anything else you guys know I can do about this "low on space"? I have just about 10 apps, some of them just around 500kb. If I uninstall all my apps there is about 185 MB free space. But the internal memory of the moto defy is 1.5 Gb. Is theire a cache I can swipe without causing problems?

****EDIT****

As many with these problems I just found out that the /data/tombstones folder takes a lot of space. Aparently there are just debug log files in there and you can just delete them. Might have to use a Explorer like Yaffs Explorer with root access to do so. I was able to delete almost 1Gb. :O)
[Droid Incredible General] sandiegoduh:
I must be the biggest idiot. When I go to "extract" the clockwork file, I click on it and it says "no mountable file" or something. What the hell does this mean? I am very frustrated with this stupid POS phone, as I can't even send texts anymore cus I have no memory.
[Droid Incredible General] funkpod:
I don't think you want to extract a file, I think there is an option to install a zip?

Aw yeah.
[Droid Incredible General] bobsinvt:
Never saw an affirmation on the one potential fix suggested for the quoted issue.

I have the same problem (no internet even though I am connected to my wireless router). Also, my camera is only black and white. The wifi issue leaves me helpless at home since we have absolutely no mobile data network available where I live.

Particulars:

Android version - 2.2

Baseband version - 2.15.00.07.28

Kernel version - 2.6.35.14-gingertiny-v2+

Build number - 3.21.605.1 CL231334 release=keys

Software number - 3.21.605.1

Browser version - WebKit 3.1

PRI version - 1.28_002

PRL version - 52642

ERI version - 5

My Incredible is rooted and s-off. Have applied:

Convert2Ext4_no_data_limit_normal_dalvik.zip

to clean up the low application memory annoyance.

I then updated my kernel as suggested.

Still no wifi and only b&w camera.

Please tell me there is a fix for this :-)
[Droid Incredible General] cmlusco:
Not sure why it would affect the camera. To fix wifi try flashing the kernel again. Or unzip the kernel file and navagate to system/lib/modules and copy the bcm4329.ko file and paste and overwrite the file to /system/lib/modules. Change permissions to rwxr-xr-x and groop and owner to root. Then turn off and bacl on wifi.

EDIT: Wait your issue is your on froyo and this mod uses a gingerbread kernel. Im not sure if the froyo and gingerbread init.inc.rc files are the same, the mod might not even have done anything or mabey not everything it should have. What kernel are you using now, does it have ext4 support?
[Droid Incredible General] bobsinvt:
Yes, I have Android 2.2. I installed a gingerbread kernel - 2.6.35.14-gingertiny-v2-12312011.zip (after I applied the mod). My memory report indicates that the mod did work. I'm worried about installing Gingerbread. Would that unroot my device?
[Droid Incredible General] cmlusco:
Thats definitley the cause of your issues. You either need to find froyo kernel with ext4 support, or flash a gingerbread rom. Im surprised froyo even boots with a gb kernel installed.

It depends what you mean by install gingerbread. If you do an ota or flash a gingerbread ruu, yes it will unroot you. However you are s-of so geting root back is easy. Just flash cwm thru hboot, then flash superuser thru recovery, instsll busy box and your good to go. But if you just flash a rom based on gingerbread, you will still be rooted, as almost all roms come pre rooted. My advice is to flash a gb based rom, then flash this mod, then flash an updated gingertiny kernel, as the mod installs an older version.
[Droid Incredible General] tiny4579:
There is one froyo sense kernel that supports ext4 that I know of for sure (incredikernel 2.6.32.27 from Dec 2010), but it's worth it to go to gingerbread unless you want to still use froyo for some reason. In that case I'd recommend Skyraider which I think might be the best Froyo Sense ROM.
[Droid Incredible General] bobsinvt:
If I use ROM Manager and flash 'Touch of Blue' does that still need the mod and kernel updated?
