[Verizon HTC Droid Incredible 4G LTE] drenkin:
If there's further discussion of this elsewhere that I've missed, please point me to it.

I'm trying to root my INC4G, but neither the manual nor scripted Fireballas method is successful.

-I have re-flashed the stock RUU, I am using a USB 2.0 port. All the basic ADB commands are fuctional in and out of fastboot, etc.

When I run the manual version, all is well up through restoring the fakebackup.ab file. When I enter the "while" command (without accepting restore yet on phone) I get the endlessly repeating error message mentioned by Aldo101t on the fireballas thread (post #54 and others). Accepting the restore on the phone handset does NOT stop the endless error loop in the Command line, and a prompt never becomes available again. I'm working on a Vista machine and I've tried the process through both the default 64-bit Command.exe and what I believe is the 32-bit version CMD.exe in the C:\Windows\SysWow64\ directory.

When I run the script version, all is well until I get the following:

----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

= Step 2: SuperCID =

========================

Your phone's CID is being modified to SuperCID. Once complete, your

phone will reboot to the bootloader.

/dev/block/mmcblk0p4: cannot open for read: Permission denied

remote object '/sdcard/mmcblk0p4' does not exist

The system cannot find the file specified.

cannot stat 'mmcblk0p4': No such file or directory

/sdcard/mmcblk0p4MOD: cannot open for read: Permission denied

rm failed for /data/local.prop, No such file or directory

< waiting for device >

...

(bootloader) cid: VZW__001

OKAY [ 0.012s]

finished. total time: 0.013s

Just above, you should see (bootloader) cid: 11111111

1) Yes, my cid is 11111111. Keep going.

2) No, my cid is VZW__001. Factory reset and try again.

3) No, my cid is VZW__001. Exit the script.

Select an option:

----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Hitting option 2 to factory reset and repeat brings the same result each time.

Is there a specific permissions problem that I could resolve manually with a file manager? Or do I need to manually create a dummy file that can then be overwritten?

Any suggestions very welcome. I'd have posted this to the Fireballas forum, but I don't have posting privileges.

Thanks!

why not go to unlimited.io and s-off it. DONE
[Verizon HTC Droid Incredible 4G LTE] drenkin:
I'd love to. But their step 12, "get temproot somehow-" appears to be the same part of the Fireballas process that won't work for me. If there's some other way to manage temproot--or if the Fireballas script is actually succeeding at temproot if only I knew to rip the cables out of the phone at the correct instant before the script crashes--please let me know what to try. I've never seen the shell prompt change from $ to #.

Did the unlimited.io process work for you, despite the same endless-error symptom through Fireballas? If so, can I ask how you achieved temproot?

Thanks for responding, above! : )
[Verizon HTC Droid Incredible 4G LTE] Aldo101t:
I USED THE AUTOMATED script in a different cmd window, you need to factory reset first then run it til the scrolling starts then accept restore, if it works properly the scroll stops. then adb reboot. when the phone has a screen with the droid eye on it and no icons(your done with this cmd window). it is in tempt root, then go back to the first cmd window you ruued on and finish the process. make sure usb debugging is on, after the ruu, you have to boot the rom (stock)to turn it on.

are you on a 32bit windows 7 and the enviornmental variables set. and the sdcard will get wiped s-offing so use a spare 8bg to 16gb no larger,and has to have an sdcard installed inthe phone to work. you can also go to unlimited.io for support and help. except the temp root deal they won't support that
[Verizon HTC Droid Incredible 4G LTE] DavDoc:
Do you have a different machine you could use with a different OS? If so you may want to try that. 64 bit Windows 7 worked for me as far as temp root.

Good Luck
[Verizon HTC Droid Incredible 4G LTE] drenkin:
Interesting!

Aldo101t, thanks for mentioning using separate Command prompt windows, it led me to back up even further from a single instruction set and try the original root script by Bin4ry: it got me to a # prompt, and proper temproot...from which I could continue with the manual version of the Fireballas instructions and change out my VZW_001 id...and get the unlock code from HTCDev.

Currently have TWRP recovery installed, and about to flash ViperLTE Rom.

Thanks to Aldo101t and DavDoc for nudges and moral support. : )

[Nokia Lumia 920] pencilcase:
I think we need to try and identify the ORIGIN of the dust, or better where the entry point is for it to actually get to the cam ...

is it the headphone port or directly above the camera between screen and housing?
[Nokia Lumia 920] FranKeRS:
I actually thought it was me blowing into the earpiece to remove dust from it, and thereby somehow blowing dust into the front camera. The opening in the glass for the earpiece collects a large amount of dust when I keep the phone in my Pocket.

With my previous 920 I used to blow hard into the earpiece to remove the dust. With my replacement phone i only blow lightly to remove the dust.

Hi!

Mine is made in China.

Bought from Rogers, Canada

I also notice the dust problem one week after I got it and I end up blowing compressed air each two or three days.

Before chrismas, as a test, I took some transparent tape and stick it on the top edge of the screen and didn't get any issue since then. In my case, the dust is coming into through the small gap between the screen and the phone housing, not through the earpiece.

Hope that help!

But now, I have to send my NL920 to Nokia for another problem: I put it on airplane mode one night and when I turned off airplane mode, all Wireless (Bluetooth, wifi) came up, but not my cellular network. I get the "No Service" icon. The SIM work fine in my Luma 900. I've tried switching from LTE, to 3G and 2G and it did nothing. I wiped the phone (erase everything) and it didn't help. Something strange, after the reset, it was able to "see" that I have 4 voicemail !?!?!
[Nokia Lumia 920] hawc1506:
That makes sense. I just looked and realized that there is barely any distance between the edge of the screen and the top of the FFC.

The top of the FFC is at most 1 mm from the first gap. That would be extremely difficult to seal off...

Got a spec under mine after a few weeks.

Can't we just remove the screen and clean it? Or is that portion closed off?

Its closed off. If you remove the two screws on the bottom of the phone the whole phone separates from the casing, but the scree, LCD, FFC, proximity sensor are all one piece of glass and you can't easily remove the sensors.

Holy Mother...and looking at the survey this is even more scary. God why? I wanted this phone so bad but this may be a deal breaker, it's also a real shame. I ordered a flip case made by Nillkin that covers the phone's face pretty much like the oem case for the S3/Note, do you guys think this is gonna help against this issue? I'm probably getting it anyway tho, this is like the Mustang of phones, nothing compares.

I am trying to flash my phone with the RUU 2.13 so I can get the new firmware and flash meanbean. I am following this post (http://xdaforums.com/showpost.php?p=31520093&postcount=11730) to do so. After following what Captain says, which is to relock the bootloader I can't get past the bootloader (which I now understand is normal right?) and then try to run the RUU through HBOOT, however I get the USB error. Is this due to the bootloader being relocked or am I missing the htc drivers on my computer?

Also, I'd rather go to S-Off, so if anyone could shed some light on how I would go from S-On to S-Off I would greatly appreciate it.
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] onefasttreopro:
Which firmware are you trying to get on your phone? Because the way I'm reading it is you're using the older ruu file to try to get the newest firmware. Just wanna make sure you're using the newest ruu of 3.15 (came out December 22).
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] djs415:
Ya wow can't believe how long it's been since I've flashed a rom. An old version of MeanRom has lasted me so long. I am on an old firmware (1.13) I believe. I want to preferably go from S-On to S-Off. Before, I tried Captain Throwbacks method (relocking the bootloader, flashing the RUU) however I ran into a USB Connection Problem with the RUU. So I am trying to figure out if it was because I didn't have the right htc drivers installed or something else. If S-On to S-Off would eliminate the need for those steps I would much rather do that. I am trying to get to the latest firmware. Thanks!
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] Magnum_Enforcer:
What Hboot are you on?

Edit: If you're on 1.12 you're going to have to go the Dirty Racun route, since Lazy Panda is no longer officially supported. This, of course, requires you to RUU to upgrade to either Hboot 1.15 or 1.19, then run Dirty Racun to get S-off. Getting S-off is definitely the way to go, as it can save you some headache down the road. Also, don't run the RUU for 3.15 (JB) as this will update your Hboot and currently there is no exploit to get S-off with the new Hboot. You can still unlock and root it, but you'll be S-on.

[HTC EVO 3D] Hippie459MN:
Well, After doing a fresh install of Windows 8 Pro (64bit) I soon realized that HTC does not support Win8 drivers yet officially but after hours of scouring the internet, I finally got it to work and it works perfect!

I have found that the Windows 7 drivers work on Windows 8 but the HTC Driver installer will not allow a windows 8 install for some reason. There are 2 ways to do it but this is the easiest as I have already pulled the full driver pack from a Windows 7 driver install to make it easier for everyone.

Instructions to installing HTC Drivers on Windows8 64Bit:

==========================================

1. Download the Windows7 (64 Bit) drivers here - http://d-h.st/OYI

2. Unzip to any location you want. Just remember where you put them.

3. Plug in your phone to your USB cable.

4. Open your Device Manager (Windows Key + X and select Device manager) and locate HTC under Other Devices and right click on it and select Update Driver Software

5. Select "Browse my computer for driver software"

6. Click Browse and then select the folder you unzipped with the drivers in it then click next.

7. It should now install your drivers and then in your device manager it will now show up "My HTC" under Android USB Devices.

Hope that helps anyone having troubles getting USB/HTC drivers working on Windows 8 (64bit).

Now you can use adb and fastboot commands. I use Fastboot Commander and I can report it works perfect in Win8.

EDIT: Im sure this will work for any other HTC phone as well as I am pretty sure the drivers are pretty universal for HTC phones, just so happens I have an Evo3D and do not have any other HTC phones to test this on other then my Hero. I will test that as soon as I can to see if that works also and update my findings.

Enjoy!
[HTC EVO 3D] alhuang69:
Thanks so much for your instruction.

However I followed every steps and the My HTC driver was renewed ... I still fail to resign the app after I modified it.
[HTC EVO 3D] Hippie459MN:
I dont understand. Resign what app? All this does is install the drivers in Win8 (64bit version) if you didnt have them installed already so you can use adb and fastboot commands via command prompt on your PC. If you had drivers installed and working in Win8 already there is/was no need for this.
[HTC EVO 3D] alhuang69:
Thank you very much for your reply. I updated the HTC Sync version 3.3.1.7 --- the sync and the connection between the phone and PC are working very well. The adb never works even followed your instruction but still can't make the adb works. I suspect my adb version is too old.

Would you be kind to share the adb?
[HTC EVO 3D] Hippie459MN:
Any adb and fastboot app should work. Worked fine for me on a really old version and also on the latest version.

Get it right from Google. http://developer.android.com/sdk/index.html

Just click on Downloads for other platforms and then download SDK Tools only.

Install that then launch the SDK Manager and select to download the Android Platform Tools and you will get the latest adb and fastboot

I would install to your c: drive and not in program files. Just a recommendation.

Don't the 4.x series drivers from HTC natively support Win8? I don't have Win8 myself, but perhaps someone could test and report back? I posted a small collection of Windows drivers in my forum section.
[HTC EVO 3D] ramjet73:
The requirements for HTC Sync still don't include Windows 8 as a supported environment even though the last update was on December 28th so I'm guessing the drivers included with that won't install properly.

HTC Sync Manager supports Windows 8 but not the Evo 3D. If the 4.x drivers were extracted from that they may work with the Evo 3D but I don't run Windows 8 yet so someone else going to have to test them.

[HTC EVO 3D] mdmower:
Interesting. I just extracted the drivers from Sync Manager and found a single point bump at the very end of the version string from my latest driver (4.0.1.002 is now listed in my drivers post). I'm still led to believe the 4.x series works on Win8, but we'll have to wait for others to respond.

Windows 8 compatible installer

I recently found that the .exe installer from HTC Sync Manager is compatible with all versions of Windows, from XP through 8, and both 32 and 64 bit versions. The Sync Manager itself doesn't support the Evo 3D/V but the drivers that come with it seem to work fine with our device.

have a problem. I can use adb to reboot my HTC into bootloader but when I type fastboot reboot nothing happens and I get a notification saying "USB device not recognised". I have followed the instructions from the OP but Device Manager says "The best driver for your device is already installed".

I'm just being difficult because I have USB 2.0 port at the back of my Win8 PC. But I just like to use the USB 3.0 at the front of the PC because it's easier to access. Any suggestions?
[HTC EVO 3D] jokob.sk:
I would suggest you to get a windows 7 pc, install minimal ADB and fastboot, the HTC drivers and you are done in a few minutes. I battled it by myself a day on windows 8 and finally borrowed a windows 7 pc and I was done in 20 minutes. I simply followed this site: http://www.htcdev.com/bootloader/

You can find everything I used in this zip (there are multiple different USB drivers available, try the ones from HTC at first, the one\den\USBDeview.exe tool is for uninstalling drivers):

As mentioned, I really wouldn't bother to use W8, it's a waste of time and energy IMO.
