I did what you said but now it gives me a pop up notification that super user is not responding. And I get the option to force close or wait. I tried waiting a couple times, got bored so closed, cleared cache from setting>apps and still getting the same message to force close or wait.

Thanks for helping me with this. I know it hasn't gotten anywhere yet but I would have no idea what to do.

Edit: The binary update has been trying to gain root access for at least an hour now and still not working. Its getting on my nerves
[Droid Incredible General] bluedevil493:
Got it to work by erasing everything from step 12 and on and using the second file instead. Don't update superuser from the play store! Now however, I am stuck on step 29. When I try to put the two files on the sd card I am given a notification that I do not have enough space for this. Do I need to go buy a bigger SD card? The current card is only 2GB
[Droid Incredible General] cmlusco:
How are you trying to put them on? Adb push, mounted thru recovery, thru the disk drive option of the os? 2gb should be enough, the files arent that big only 715kb. How much free space is on the card?
[Droid Incredible General] bluedevil493:
Umm I don't what the technical term would be but when I connect the phone in USB debugging mode and my computer asks if I want open the folder to view files, I transfer the 2 files from my computer. I checked and my SD card has 1.58GB of space left but when I check it on Windows Explorer (it shows up as a CD Drive (F:)) it says it is full. I guess I am opening the wrong partition by using this method. I also tried by going into recovery mode, mounting the sd card and transferring the two files and then doing the cmd prompt stuff but it doesn't work.
[Droid Incredible General] cmlusco:
When booted and you connect it to the pc, it should ask what type of connection you want. If it doest ask select it from the notification bar. Select disk drive. This will make 3 new drives on the pc. One is a cd drive that installs vzw bloatware on your pc, ignore it. The second is emmc, and the third is the sd card. If it still wont let you put the files on there, i would reformat the sdcard and try again.
[Droid Incredible General] bluedevil493:
So now on step 32 I get this error message:

C:\Android>adb shell
$ su
su
# cat /sdcard/flash_image > /data/flash_image
cat /sdcard/flash_image > /data/flash_image

mtd: not writing bad block at 0x00000000
error writing misc: No space left on device
#

Is it just me or am I having more trouble than most people? I checked the space and I have 1.86GB on SD card, 6.60 GB internal, 640MB on phone memory, and 138MB application data space available. To get past the last step I factory reset my phone and did everything over.
[Droid Incredible General] cmlusco:
Not sure what that means, but it sounds bad. It appears you did everything correctly. The error to me sounds like it is saying the misc partition is corrupt. But i dont think it is or else i dont think the phone would boot. Try rebooting the phone and doing that last line of 32 again. Your so close, dont give up now.
[Droid Incredible General] bluedevil493:
Yea I got stuck and then didn't have to get back to it until now. I am wondering if I want to root it do I start over? I have a new memory card I am using now so it doesn't some of the things that needed to be put on the memory card.
[Droid Incredible General] Draicus:
I got through to step 38 without any problems, but after rebooting my phone, I'm stuck in a bootloop on the Droid screen.

I've tried a couple of things like going ahead and using the unlock code again, flashing recovery and even so far as flashing CM7 through recovery to see if it would unstick, but even with CM7, I get stuck at the logo screen with a bootloop. Factory Reset just kicks me to recovery, where I've done a reset a couple of times to no avail.

I've formatted my SD card to FAT32 and tried to load the PB31IMG again, but after reading the file, my phone doesn't prompt me to update like it did the first time. So I;m kinda stuck and would love a little expertise to get me through this. :o
[Droid Incredible General] zachf714:
Flash the SOff script and just run the latest pb31img script which would be GB :)
[Droid Incredible General] Draicus:
I'm new to all of this, but no matter how much googling I did I couldn't find an s-off script. Mind pointing me in the right direction?
[Droid Incredible General] zachf714:
Flash this in recovery http://dinc.does-it.net/Guide_Root_New_Hboot/unrevoked-forever.zip

Then flash this pb31img like the others http://dinc.does-it.net/Stock_Images/4.08.605.15/PB31IMG.zip

Then you can just flash a recovery and install a custom ROM
[Droid Incredible General] Draicus:
I can't flash unrevoked. It fails with this error:

E:Error in /sdcard/unrevoked-forever.zip

(status 6)

Installation aborted.

I've tried a few different downloads of unrevoked to make sure it wasn't a corrupt file...
[Droid Incredible General] zachf714:
Are you using clockwork out teamwin .. Use clockwork for it
[Droid Incredible General] Draicus:
I'm using clockwork, but for some reason that specific download of unrevoked wasn't working for me. I went to the unrevoked website and got the most recent download and it worked no problem.

So now I'm unlocked, s-off and got the PB31IMG file you linked me to all loaded up, flashed clockwork, flashed CM7, and then I still get stuck in a bootloop. :(
[Droid Incredible General] zachf714:
Redownload the cm7 zip you may have a bad download
[Droid Incredible General] Draicus:
Tried it. I even grabbed 7.1 instead of 7.2 just to make sure. Still stuck in a bootloop.

Strangely, when I'm flashing CM7, it doesn't take very long or go through a lot of installation processes like when I installed it on my old Captivate. It just reads the file for a minute, goes through one progress bar, then says it's successfully installed. But I'm still stuck in a bootloop.

I don't know if this is relevant, but the reason I'm doing this is because it was my sister's phone and she got a new one. When she tried to do a factory reset on this one, all of the apps, images and all of her personal data was still on the phone. I read around and rooting and flashing a ROM seemed like one of the best ways to fix this.

Not sure if that would point to the root of the issue. :)

Thanks for taking the time to help me, by the way. :)
[Droid Incredible General] zachf714:
Yeah man ... Try flashing incredikernel for aosp GB ROMs at incredikernel.com and flash the gapps :) are you getting the cm7 bootani
[Droid Incredible General] Draicus:
Flashed incredikernel and I'm still not having any luck.

I do get the CM7 boot animation. It sits there for a while loading (like a good minute or two), then it loops back to the boot ani over and over every few seconds.
[Droid Incredible General] zachf714:
Do you wipe the system

---------- Post added at 10:54 PM ---------- Previous post was at 10:53 PM ----------

@tiny4579 do you think this is a case of a bad nand
[Droid Incredible General] Draicus:
Yep, I wipe before installing CM7.
[Droid Incredible General] zachf714:
Does stock sense boot
[Droid Incredible General] Draicus:
Stock sense was bootlooping to begin with, which was why I tried moving to CM7.

I just noticed that I get an error when formatting /data and /cache. :(
[Droid Incredible General] zachf714:
Alright now we get somewhere :) run the pb31img I sent you and let it boot or boot loop than flash recovery and try to wipe again
[Droid Incredible General] Draicus:
After running PB31IMG again, the phone finally booted, but it's just a wall of force closing (like every process that tries to run is immediately force closed).

Wiped data/factory reset from recovery and it says it worked, but when I manually wipe the /data and /cache both still have errors and don't format.

After that, it boots (after a reaaalllly long time), but every process still force closes.
[Droid Incredible General] zachf714:
I think you have a bad nand and have to flash this before a ROM http://d-h.st/XHg
[Droid Incredible General] Draicus:
I flashed that and then flashed CM7 and it's back to bootloop.
[Droid Incredible General] zachf714:
Try the pb31img again then
[Droid Incredible General] Draicus:
I flashed your NAND fix and then loaded the PB31IMG again and I'm back to getting the phone booted, but with everything force closing.
[Droid Incredible General] zachf714:
That is very odd ... Go to the hboot and select fastboot then hook to your computer and type fast boot erase data in a cmd/terminal while in your adb dir
[Droid Incredible General] Draicus:

[Droid Incredible General] zachf714:
Hmmmm..... What recovery do you use .. Can you try flashing twrp and doing a factory reset then reboot
[Droid Incredible General] Draicus:
I've been using clockworkmod, the recovery image provided in the guide.

I flashed twrp and did a factory reset, after rebooting it does the same thing as earlier where it takes a really long time to boot, then it force closes everything.
[Droid Incredible General] zachf714:
This is very odd
[Droid Incredible General] psycopanther:
small issue here also. made it through the HBOOT. successfully installed recovery by fastboot usb. reboot into recovery, all good. then when i select any option (even reboot or power off) instead of going to execute that option, it simply removes all options on the screen and only shows the background image in recovery. the little Hat thing lol. however, if i hit the power button again, it goes back to the main menu in recovery and i can scroll up or down with the volume buttons. select a option and same thing, everything disappears except the background. weird huh

Can't Install BusyBox

Hi, Sorry to pester for such an old phone, but I've gotten through all the steps and am stuck on the BusyBox installation. It just hangs. I'm hoping there is something stupid I am doing wrong and need some help.

I've tried three different su.zip files.

I've tried three different busybox installers.

SuperUser installs, but then crashes, I'm assuming because busybox is not installed.

Is there a manual way to install it? Am I really rooted? The busybox installer says that I am on the main screen.

Thank you in advance
[Droid Incredible General] cmlusco:
When you opened the busybox app and pressed install, did it prompt you for root permission?

noob probs with HTC Inc S root.

:crying: Can anybody advise a noob stuck on instruction 12. Everything going well until I selected 'recovery' and the phone is stuck on the white 'htc' screen for about an hour now.

I tried repeating instructions 10 , 11 and 12 again but it stops at the attempt to invoke 'recovery'.

Any Help Very Much Appreciated.

This is what happens when I try.

Also the phone no longer checks for OTA updates, well it did. Now it says it's up to date but it's on 2.2 Froyo. I know this isn't true.

Isn't gingerbread the lowest version number of android you can have the new market for? I didn't think Froyo could have it.
[Droid Incredible General] cmlusco:
In hboot does it still say unlocked at the top? I dont see how it would let you fastboot flash it in step 11 to downgrade, but not now.

The ota will probably pop up again at some point.

Yes the new market is only on gb.
[Droid Incredible General] warpurlgis:
Prepared to be mind boggled then.

HBOOT is locked. It was unlocked after I did the HTC unlocking method.

I have Froyo. I also have the new market

I don't know what is happening.

I followed every step precisely.
[Droid Incredible General] cmlusco:
Oh did you put the hopefully saved unlock_code.bin file back on the phone?
[Droid Incredible General] warpurlgis:
I do have that saved. I did not put it back on the phone. I don't remember reading to do that.

Where would you put that now?
[Droid Incredible General] cmlusco:
Yeah my bad i mentioned to save it but forgot to mention to use " fastboot flash unlocktoken Unlock_code.bin " to put it back after doing the froyo ruu. I will have to update the op.
[Droid Incredible General] warpurlgis:
Haha I read to "save it cause you would need it later". I was thinking when I was getting to the unrevoked part when we would be using it.

I got the OTA to take so I might do this over.

For the HTC unlocking part. Do you know if you would need the same key if you were going to redo the unlocking, or does it generate a new one?
[Droid Incredible General] cmlusco:
Just using the fastboot flash unlocktoken Unlock_code.bin command should unlock it again with the same key. I believe the keys are specific to the devices serial number.

So you shouldnt have to start over. Just unlock again with the fastboot command, and then do unrevoked with the custom img again.
[Droid Incredible General] warpurlgis:
Well for how convoluted my whole experience has become tonight, I feel it would just be better to start fresh tomorrow night. I have what I need, know for the most part what to do again, and with your last piece of the puzzle all will go smoothly... I hope.

Thanks for your help. I'll try again when I get out of work tomorrow.
[Droid Incredible General] warpurlgis:
This guide is flawless now. Works better than any other method I have tried. Thanks cmlusco for the write up.
[Droid Incredible General] cmlusco:
Glad to hear you got it to work, and thanks for bringing that error in the directions to my attention.
[Droid Incredible General] bhatt86:
Forgive me if I am reposting this but I've searched here and the cyanogen forums for a solution. I recently purchased a HTC Incredible as an upgrade from my Sanyo Zio. I am currently running 2.3.4 and I am attempting to achieve s-off so I can root with unrEVOked 3.22 I looked through all the write up's and couldn't find anything to answer the paticular issue I'm running into. I've installed and reinstalled all of the correct software designated in this write up. I went step by step on the HTCDev.com bootloader program but having no success.

When I load the RUU the I accept the check boxes and click next but it comes to this error.

I installed every possible driver I can find for my phone. I checked my device manager and there are no errors on the driver but it only comes up as

Android USB Devices>My HTC

I installed the HTC Sync but it will only recognize my phone if it is in sync mode. This is the only issue I've had any I don't know what I'm missing probably something I've overlooked but some clarification would be great.
[Droid Incredible General] cmlusco:
Try this, i found it on another site.

1: Install HTC Sync. (Read 1a first)

1a: If you already tried the update with it and failed, uninstall HTC Sync and install a program called CCleaner (http://www.piriform.com/ccleaner/download).

1b: When installed run CCleaner and go to registry (the blue box on the left).

1c: Scan for issues and then press Fix selected issues... and fix all of them.

1d: Reboot computer to be sure problems are fixed.

1e: Reinstall HTC Sync.

2: Run HTC Sync if it isn't already running.

3: Turn on Dinc and plug it in, then choose HTC Sync on the connections menu that pops up ( The one that says Charge Only, Disk Drive, HTC Sync, and Mobile Broadband Connect). If Dinc says it can't find HTC Sync that is fine.

4: Turn

off

any internet connections on the PC. Ex: disable or disconnect wifi/wired connections.

5: Run the RUU and follow the steps.
[Droid Incredible General] bhatt86:
Great will do and report back thank you! :D
[Droid Incredible General] cmlusco:
Did you use the adb package i have in the op, or did you already have adb setup? If you used my package i know it works and is not out of date, it is from the latest sdk. Im not sure when it says out of date if it means the actual adb file is out of date or if it just means its not up to date with the info on the phone. Can you manually connect with adb thru a cmd prompt, by typing adb devices?

Also do you have a program on your pc called droid explorer? Also hit ctrl alt del select task manager and kill all processes of adb.exe, then try again. There may be multipul instances of adb running at once.
[Droid Incredible General] garfchong:
hi, i follow all the steps mentioned above and when i completed step 11 and proceed to step 12.

when i selected "recovery", i found my phone restart and it was hang there (white screen with htc logo).... nothing more....

may i know what was went wrong? how should i solve the problems?

thanks a lots.....
[Droid Incredible General] bhatt86:
I was able to manually connect via adb through cmd prompt.

C:\Users\Admin Account>cd c:\adb

c:\adb>adb devices
List of devices attached
HT078HJ08876 device

c:\adb>

I did not have Droid Explorer set up, I have now installed it and connected to my device. I also went into task manager and ended adb.exe and verified that when sync is runing there is only 1 adb.exe running.

I verified that I am running your adb_fastboot from post 1 as well.

Went again from step 1 and same result as soon as RUU starts to run HTC Sync loses connection to the device and it comes back with Error 170.

I also checked the RUU_logs and this was added.

[Droid Incredible General] cmlusco:
Sounds like cw didnt take for some reason. Your bootloader is unlocked correct (says unlocked at the top of hboot)? If so i would start at step 8 and try to flash recovery again. Does it give any errors when flashing the recovery? Try this, before typing the "fastboot flash recovery recovery.img, type thid "fastboot erase recovery" then do the command above.
[Droid Incredible General] bhatt86:
Ok so now that I installed the Droid Explorer, HTC Sync isn't recognizing my device at all.
[Droid Incredible General] cmlusco:
Its definitley some kind of driver issue. What os are you running on your computer?
[Droid Incredible General] bhatt86:
I am currently on Windows Vista Home Premium w/ Service pack 2 x32bit, I can upgrade to Windows 7 Professional x32 bit at any time I was just putting it off. :D
[Droid Incredible General] CaffeineHead:
So I am having some problems to get this to work. I unlocked hboot a while ago with no problems and have since installed CWM and an ICS rom. I tried to follow your method of downgrading but hboot does not load the PB31IMG. It finds the zip and I see the bar on the edge as the file is loaded but then it goes back to the normal screen and never gives me an option to install it.

I think this has something to do with the files in the flash_mtd zip. When I ran the second abd command "/data/flash_image misc /sdcard/mtd0.img" I got a segmentation_fault error. I dont know what these files are supposed to do but everything else went smoothly.
[Droid Incredible General] cmlusco:
Ok uninstall droid explorer, i was going to tell you to remove it if you had it as is some times conflicts with standard adb. Also uninstall htc sync again. Then reboot the pc.

Connect the phone to the pc and select charge only.

On your pc go to device manager and look for your phones entry, should say "android phone" or "android devices". Expand that hitting the +. Im not sure what it will say but right click on it and select uninstall. Unplug the phone and reboot the pc again.

Connect the phone again, and go back to device manager, see if there is a android phone or android devices category if there is expand it and tell me what it says. If there is no android category look for an unknown device, expand it and tell me what it says.
[Droid Incredible General] cmlusco:
If the mtd0img didnt flash right, then the PB31IMG.zip will not flash either. The flash_image file is suppose to reflash the misc partition, making the phone believe it is on an older version of hboot and the android os, allowing you to flash the PB32IMG.zip and downdrade.

I am not sure why it gave segementation error. Mabey a bad download, try downloading the zip again and doing the /data/flash_img misc /sdcard/mtd0.img part again.
[Droid Incredible General] CaffeineHead:
I figured that those files were important, otherwise you wouldnt have included them. I redownloaded everything and tried it again but got the same error. I was however pasting the codes so I thought I might just try typing them. This time I get another error "sh: /data/flash_image: not found"

I checked and the files are on my sdcard so I am not sure why flash_image is not being copied over to my data partition. I just wiped my entire phone and reload the ICS rom. I think next I will try installing a root browser and copying the file over on my own.

So I just check and the flash_image was in /data even though adb told me it wasnt. I recopied the file over anyways and set permission to 777 just in case. adb now once again gives me a segmentation fault error when trying to flash mtd0.img. I think next I will try flashing a sense gb rom and trying the whole process over again.
