Ok, so it doesn't look like you've navigated terminal to the directory holding fakebackup.ab and the newer version of adb. The latest version of adb is at least 1.0.31. Use 'cd' to move yourself to the correct directory.

I realized I forgot to cd into the stuff folder when I posted that, still same message. I'll try updating adb again too .31
[Verizon HTC Droid Incredible 4G LTE] mdmower:
You can make sure you're using adb from the same directory as fakebackup.ab by typing:

./adb restore fakebackup.ab

If it says adb not found, then you don't have adb put in the stuff directory. And just to be crystal clear, you don't want adb.exe (that's for Windows). You want adb

Re: Team fireballas FakeCid AUTOMATIC bootloader unlock

Thanks mower, appreciate the help
[Verizon HTC Droid Incredible 4G LTE] rootMBX:
Hi! VZW swapped out my TBOLT for this bad boy... Hoping someone can help me understand this a bit better.

I can see that SuperCID/BootloaderUnlock is reversible. Is the S-OFF procedure reversible?

If so, what are the benefits to using SuperCID/BootloaderUnlock since it doesn't allow radio modification like S-OFF does?
[Verizon HTC Droid Incredible 4G LTE] jose51197:
Re: Team fireballas FakeCid AUTOMATIC bootloader unlock

S on = more security but you'll need to flash booot.IMG from fastboot in s off you'll get no security( means security off) but every Rom will flash easily
[Verizon HTC Droid Incredible 4G LTE] junkmail9:
Both processes are reversible. SuperCID bootloader unlock is the safer route - both in method to achieve and in future use of phone. Because this method unlocks the bootloader and doesn't unlock everything, you can not access the "serious" areas that more easily brick a phone. On the other hand, s-off will give you access to everything, so caution is advised, but like jose51197 said, it makes flashing ROMS (and other things) much easier.

Note that the SuperSID method does require you to submit a token on the HTCdev site. I expect that the token includes your phone's serial number (or EIN, or whatever) which will then void your warranty. DirtyRacun s-off does not use the HTCDev unlock in its process.

The best part is, the choice is yours depending on what you want to do. If you decide to go with SuperCID, then you can always go s-off later. If you go s-off now, you should not do the SuperCID later.

Re: Team fireballas FakeCid AUTOMATIC bootloader unlock

Just to point out, i used the super cid process and had a problem with my phone. I don't carry insurance and got the phone on craigslist. I called vzw and they exchanged the phone no problem. I ran the ruu before sending in the bad phone and they didn't have a problem with the return.
[Verizon HTC Droid Incredible 4G LTE] junkmail9:
Re: Team fireballas FakeCid AUTOMATIC bootloader unlock

I don't think Verizon looks carefully at the returns. When I exchanged mine due to the yellow screen issue, they just turned it on to make sure it was functional and to see the screen. The guy never went into the bootloader screen. The issue would likely arise only if you need to send it directly to HTC for repair.

Do you remember if the ***TAMPERED*** box went away after running the RUU?

Re: Team fireballas FakeCid AUTOMATIC bootloader unlock

If the ***TAMPERED*** flag remains, then s-off is the only method that can get a phone back to a truly factory state.

i hate doing this, i know im a n00b when it comes to rooting (never did it before) but i thought id ask befreo i dive in, cos i cant afford to brick my device.

my question is, could someone explain the above mentioned with a bit more detail please :confused:
[Verizon HTC Droid Incredible 4G LTE] somerandomname1:
Did you successfully unlock the bootloader with the tool?

If so, then follow this guide so you can use adb:

http://www.addictivetips.com/mobile/what-is-adb-and-how-to-install-it-android/

After that's all setup, you just use the command prompt to do those commands.
[Verizon HTC Droid Incredible 4G LTE] nstream:
not just yet, just making sure i have everything before i make the dive.

TWRP2.2_recovery.img < that file need to be in a specific directory? or sd card?
[Verizon HTC Droid Incredible 4G LTE] somerandomname1:
I think that's old, you can get the new one here:

http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=2081547

and it can be anywhere really, you just have to change directory in the command prompt

and you should make sure you have the drivers for the phone installed:

sweet thanks, so the phone only needs to be plugged (usb debugging on) in under normal boot for rooting , and i just need to execute those commands.

i know its a basic question, but i have been delaying this for weeks now, coos i am too scared to root it incase i brick it if i dont know everything

EDIT: Thanks, pulling all the latest stuff, i wont need a hex editor anymore cos its part of the package in the first one right ? (Inc4GUnlockV41)

---------- Post added at 04:48 AM ---------- Previous post was at 04:16 AM ----------

fastboot flash recovery TWRP2.2_recovery.img

assuming thats the default command, where do i place the file?

(sigh, i think i will be banned soon)
[Verizon HTC Droid Incredible 4G LTE] mdmower:
Seriously, your presence isn't nearly as annoying as users with 0 posts that PM me.

When you unpack Inc4GUnlockV41.zip, the directory contains all the files you need. The script will perform all the commands and hex editing for you. Place the recovery image inside that folder and rename it to recovery.img (but please do use a newer recovery than the image you currently have; download openrecovery-twrp-2.4.3.0-fireball.img).

EDIT: The first post in this thread is a disaster. You should consider downloading the slightly updated script which will be useful if you decide to go S-OFF someday.
[Verizon HTC Droid Incredible 4G LTE] nstream:
oh sweet mate, now i have enough info to make the leap. This is so exciting

thanks heaps, will try this and post back tomoro
[Verizon HTC Droid Incredible 4G LTE] nstream:
(Takes off pretend glasses) MY GOD!!!!

Finally got it done.

i was hoping to write a n00b proof guide, but even i couldn't keep track of what i was doing, it was mostly hit and miss.

Instructions as to how i did it.

1. Download and install the following

- HTC Drivers (Install)

http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=2089508

-Download and extract the following to c:\ROOT

http://xdaforums.com/attachment.php?attachmentid=1596636&d=1356645396

-Place the following in the folder you extracted above (to c:\ROOT), but rename "openrecovery-twrp-2.4.3.0-fireball.img" to "recovery.img"

http://techerrata.com/file/twrp2/fireball/openrecovery-twrp-2.4.3.0-fireball.img

2. Once you have all the above installed, plug in your phone (but enable usb debugging first). Go to to c:\ROOT, rightclick on 'Runme.bat' and run as administrator. you will get the following screen.

Now execute the commands in the following order

(First) 1 - Unlock boot loader

(Second) 5- Install recovery

(Third) 2 - Set CID to Super CID

Once CID is set as 11111111, go to htcdev.com website, sign up, login, and select the "Unlock Bootloader" option from their site and follow the instructions, selecting other supported devices from their dropdown menu. You will be emailed a little file once you follow the prompts form HTC website, go to your email and download that attachment and put it in c:\ROOT then press any key to continue (in the command window)

(Forth) 3 - Revert CID to orignal state

And your done.
[Verizon HTC Droid Incredible 4G LTE] mdmower:
1) No need to install the full Android SDK. The adb and fastboot executables are included in the script package.

2) You cannot install recovery until after you have unlocked the bootloader

3) Do not re-lock the bootloader
[Verizon HTC Droid Incredible 4G LTE] nstream:
DAMMIT!! i downloaded and installed a full 500MB SDK thingy. Poop on a stick

other then that, changes made. Thanks
[Verizon HTC Droid Incredible 4G LTE] somerandomname1:
Well idk about the script package, but someone gave that tutorial months back when I was trying to figure this all out. Helped me get setup to use adb and fastboot. Helped me understand (at least a little more) about how to flash roms, recoveries, boot images, etc. I still don't know **** compared to most of these people, but if it helped me a little, I thought it might help you lol.
[Verizon HTC Droid Incredible 4G LTE] mdmower:
"(Third) 2 - Set CID to Super CID" - You can also remove this line, since it's already taken care of by procedure 1. The on-screen procedures in the script are not meant to be followed 1-6. They are all independent and serve different purposes.
[Verizon HTC Droid Incredible 4G LTE] altayh:
I was attempting the DirtyRacun method to get S-OFF but I had forgotten to revert my CID from the SuperCID. I attempted to flash the RUU from fastboot and I got the error

The mods over in the Unlimited.IO couldn't help me and told me to contact the makers of the SuperCID script. How can I revert my CID? My phone is currently in the silver HTC logo state, ready for flashing the RUU. Any help is greatly appreciated. Please.

EDIT: Sorry for freaking out. When the mod at Unlimited.IO told me that re-attempting to flash the RUU in that state would hard brick my phone I got really worried. Eventually I ran "fastboot reboot" and it booted up into Android with nothing changed. I thought I was stuck in some corrupted RUU state. I'll proceed to use the script to revert my CID. Sorry again.

EDIT2: My phone is now in the TAMPERED and RELOCKED state with root and SuperCID. The bootloader unlock procedure in the script doesn't seem to be working for me. Can anyone tell me how I can revert to the VZW__001 CID?
[Verizon HTC Droid Incredible 4G LTE] mdmower:
Ok, your phone is re-locked and you apparently want to go S-OFF. Then follow Unlimited.io's instructions exactly (yes, starting again from step 1) until you get to step 12 "Temproot your phone via any method available - we cannot help with this step and it is REQUIRED!". At this point use ONLY procedure 6 of the script to put your phone in temp-root mode. As I said earlier, the script is not meant to be followed from procedure 1-6, they all serve different purposes.
[Verizon HTC Droid Incredible 4G LTE] altayh:
On step 8 when I run fastboot flash zip RUU.zip I assume I will once again encounter the message FAILED (remote: 92 supercid! please flush image again immediately). Should I just ignore the error and proceed, or should I re-run the command like step 9 suggests for the hboot error?

Also, will running procedure 6 from the script put my phone into "emulator mode" as required in step 13 of DirtyRacun, or will that require doing something else?
[Verizon HTC Droid Incredible 4G LTE] mdmower:
Deleted. I don't have time for this. Someone else can take over.
[Verizon HTC Droid Incredible 4G LTE] somerandomname1:
You said you got your phone working again. Turn it on, let it boot up. Plug it into your PC. Run procedure 3 to revert back to default CID. Then start from the beginning of the S-OFF instructions and you shouldn't receive that error because your CID will be normal.

EDIT: And when you follow the S-OFF instructions, and get to the part about obtaining temp root you ONLY have to do procedure 6. As mower said before, these procedures are all seperate, they don't have to be done one after another.
[Verizon HTC Droid Incredible 4G LTE] spazmcghee:
Re: Team fireballas FakeCid AUTOMATIC bootloader unlock

Run the zip 3 times. You'll get error 92, then error 90, and the third time the zip will install. If you don't want to see error 92 just use option 3 on the script to revert CID.
[Verizon HTC Droid Incredible 4G LTE] altayh:
I thought I needed an unlocked bootloader to change the CID; I guess it just requires root. For some reason I was getting a permission denied error when I tried to run option 3 after running option 1 in a vain attempt to re-unlock my bootloader. I just ran option 3 and now my CID is reverted to VZW__001, so I'll attempt DirtyRacun again. I guess the mod was just being overly cautious when he told me not to re-run the zip. Thanks for all the help! :D
[Verizon HTC Droid Incredible 4G LTE] kramer56:
Why and is it necessary to unlock the bootlaoder? I mean if i am only going to flash roms and use the phone as a daily driver do I need to do this? The s-off isn't enough?

Do I need to do anything with the CID/supercid if I go the s-off route?

One last thing, do I need to do s-off to flash custom roms and twrp recovery and have everything work properly?

As you can see I am new to this phone.
[Verizon HTC Droid Incredible 4G LTE] jwa0042:
I hit restore, errors have not gone away, phone isnt doing anything. Can't type any commands in command window... Any thoughts?
[Verizon HTC Droid Incredible 4G LTE] Aldo101t:
do a factory reset and try again use the automated script.
[Verizon HTC Droid Incredible 4G LTE] somerandomname1:
If you're going the S-OFF route, you don't have to unlock the bootloader, just follow the directions on unlimited's website. If you make sure you have everything setup and you follow the directions carefully you won't have any issues.

The only part that Unlimited doesn't cover is the temp-root. For that step, use this tool:

http://xdaforums.com/attachment.php?attachmentid=1596636&d=1356645396

You would only need to run procedure 6 for temp root.

If you're going to do S-OFF leave your CID default.

If you want to flash custom roms, you either need to do S-OFF and flash a recovery after, OR you need to unlock bootloader with superCID and flash recovery after. You can go either way but if you go the S-OFF route you won't have to flash the boot image separately on every update to the rom.

Unlocked and S-OFF are not the same thing as root. Please read this, it will clear up several misconceptions. The most common way to obtain root is to flash the SuperUser package. You first need to install a custom recovery like TWRP or CWM (if you have not already), then in recovery, install Superuser-3.1.3-arm-signed.zip.

[Verizon HTC Droid Incredible 4G LTE] mdmower:
What version of windows are you using that doesn't have find.exe ? Instead of using the script, open a command prompt in the directory that holds all the script's files, and type these commands line-by-line (your phone should be fully booted):

adb shell "su -c 'dd if=/dev/block/mmcblk0p4 of=/sdcard/cid'"
adb pull /sdcard/cid
hexalter cid 0x214=0x56,0x5A,0x57,0x5F,0x5F,0x30,0x30,0x31
adb push cid /sdcard/

you should be able to revert cid, if you are doing it manually try it like this

hexalter cid 0x214=0x56,0x5A,0x57,0x5F,0x5F,0x30,0x30,0x31

at this point you should have a cid file altered, try opening it with a hex editor and see what cid is in it

adb push cid /sdcard/
adb shell
su
dd if=/sdcard/cid of=/dev/block/mmcblk0p4
rm /sdcard/cid
exit
