[Droid Incredible Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] FCO2011:
Hey all,

So I upgraded to a Droid DNA a couple of months ago, so I decided to root my OG Droid Incredible (SLCD).

I followed the guide here: (http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1488351) to the letter. When I got to the step where I ran unrevoked, it flashed ClockWorkMod recovery, but didn't finish the process. So what happened is now I have ClockWorkMod recovery, and a Stock ROM that doesn't have Root access. (I downloaded a couple of different root checkers from the market and I got "no root access" results".

I tried flashing the stock recovery using the PB31IMG.zip method, but in HBOOT my phone won't recognize the file on my Micro SDcard, even though it's on the root, and properly named.

Can anyone help me get my phone completely rooted, or at least back to stock-stock so I can use a different method?

P.S I did check all MD5 sums, and the phone still works perfectly....it's just in a weird "limbo" state of rooted or not.

Thanks!

If you have cwm flashed then just flash superuser http://dinc.does-it.net/Superuser/SuperUser_3.1.1.zip, thru cwm. Then you will be rooted. Also remember to install busybox from the market.

Alternativley you could just flash a rom of your choosing, as roms come pre rooted and with busybox.
[Droid Incredible Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] FCO2011:
Alrighty,

So I tried this just now, and it still didn't work. It flashed SU successfully, but two different root checkers I DL'd told me I still don't have root access. I'm also s-on still, I forgot to mention. Busybox was also telling me it didn't have proper access.
[Droid Incredible Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] cmlusco:
Strange, is the superuser app in the app drawer? Your bootloader is unlocked right? You may need to do an ruu and start over.
[Droid Incredible Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] FCO2011:
Yeah Superuser is in my app drawer. I'm not sure about the bootloader. How can I check? I've tried doing an RUU, didn't work either of the times I tried to.
[Droid Incredible Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] cmlusco:
Boot to hboot (vol down + power), it should say at the top. Give me all the info there. You may need to reformat your sdcard fat32 to get the ruu to work. Try going to menu settings applications manage applications all tab find superuser and clear its data. Then open superuser go to preferences and select binary update.
[Droid Incredible Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] FCO2011:
This is the information from hboot:

LOCKED (OOW)

INCREDIBLE XD SHIP S-ON

HBOOT-1.02.0000

MICROP-0417

TOUCH PANEL-ATMELC03_16AC

RADIO-2.15.10.07.07

DEC 12 2011,23:37:16

I'm guessing my bootloader is still locked then.

I've did reformat my sdcard when I was going to do the RUU but it still didn't work , but I will try that again anyway.

Cleared SU's data and did the binary update, no change. Doesn't recognize that busybox is installed, even though it's installed. Does BB have to be flashed? Because I DL'd busybox from the market.

Thanks for all the help so far!

EDIT:

I was able to RUU, using the most recent GB OTA RUU from here: http://pvillecomp.com/?page_id=22 Didn't look like anything changed. I also tried flashing the stock recovery through HBOOT but I got this message:

Main Version is older!

Update Fail!

Do you want to reboot device?

<VOL UP> Yes

<VOL DOWN> No
[Droid Incredible Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] zimlokks:
ok first of yu should unlock ur bootloader via htcdev unlock method...then downgrade bak to froyo gingerbread for what i remember didn't allow us to have soff via unrevoked. what android version are yu running? try to ruu via desktop if nothing works :/

Typed from my broken Typewriter!!! O.o
[Droid Incredible Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] FCO2011:
Would the HTCdev method work even though I'm running CWM recovery?

I'm running 2.3.4 stock nonrooted

Tried RUU'ing already, didn't work, at least it didn't change anything.
[Droid Incredible Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] zimlokks:
so u can downgrade to froyo u have to follow a different guide to downgrade soff root upgrade to gingerbread (if thats ur preferred rom) or because if ur son u cant flash the boot.img in any rom and will be needed if u wanna flash something like cm or any thing else

Typed from my broken Typewriter!!! O.o
[Droid Incredible Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] FCO2011:
Alright, so you're saying I should downgrade to froyo first, then achieve s-off and root?
[Droid Incredible Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] cmlusco:
You need to unlock the bootloader, fastboot flash cwm , flash superuser thru cwm, fastboot flash froyo misc img thru hboot, flash froyo ruu thru hboot, reunlock bootloader, fastbootflash cwm, flash superuser or a rom of your choosing. Follow this guide http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1506258.
[Droid Incredible Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] FCO2011:
Haha, I actually just found your guide too, right before I checked this thread. Alrighty, going to go through this guide.

Quick question, since I already have CWM recovery, do I need to reflash it? it is the same version (5.0.2.0). I also flashed the super user zip you posted earlier. should I reflash the one in the guide?

Thanks again so much for your help!
[Droid Incredible Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] cmlusco:
I would reflash it as it may not be complete do to not being unlocked. It only takes a few secs anyways.
[Droid Incredible Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] FCO2011:
Thanks! Will do.
[Droid Incredible Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] FCO2011:
Alright,

So I unlocked successfully, flashed su.zip, reflashed CWM recovery, and got to the busy box step.

I'm using jrummy's installer from the market, and it's telling me I have root access. But when I try to install it, it doesn't work. It just sits there "installing busybox". I also used a rootchecker app and that one says I still don't have root access, even though the busybox installer says I do. Superuser also tells me I don't have root access when I go to update the binaries.
[Droid Incredible Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] cmlusco:
Try doing a full wipe and then flashing a rom.
[Droid Incredible Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] FCO2011:
oh, nevermind, busy box installed. It just took a really, really, really long time. Thanks though!

Sometimes the antivirus software on Android can give you a false positive. If you downloaded the ROM from its XDA page you should be fine.

Thanks both, I didnt download from XDA but from the source given, could be me but I couldn't find it anywhere here for the i9300 international version

Installed the rom late last night and I must say its the best ive seen so far on the S3, backed up 4.2.1 before hand so can easily roll back, rom should be safe but "lookout security" identified the problem, more than likely its that software that needs to be updated by the people at Lookout, any thanks for your help, appreciated it very much

[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] jackdubl:
The lack of a 32gb Note 2 means I would have to use a 64gb card with it, we're I to purchase the phone. I currently have a 32gb S3. I originally bought a 64gb card with my S3 but experienced nothing but problems with it. When I go to the SanDisk support forums it appears I am not the only one; lots of people report the exact same problem, the card would basically die after 1hr to a couple of days. Card would show as damaged on phone, require a reformat, reformat would fail. Nothing could be done after that. I have used both a SanDisk and a Samsung 32gb card for years in various phones with no problems of any kind. When the problem happened with the 64GB card, I returned it, was told it was defective when it didn't work for the seller, was given a replacement, and the same thing happened. The seller just returned my money and said they didn't want to sell me anymore cards because they didn't know how I was f'ing them up. They couldn't get them to work again either. I ask because this is the only thing keeping me from buying a Note 2 TODAY. Anyone using a SanDisk 64gb card with theirs?
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] pool_shark:
I've been using a 64GB card since I	received my Note II on release day.

The only trouble I had was when I flashed an aosp ROM and the card was formatted exfat instead of fat32. I ran chkdsk on the card and it was fine after that.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] adrynalyne:
Mine works fine.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] stkiswr:
The note 2 handles ex fat. My 64 worked perfect out the box. I have 40gb of movies loaded up and it never has failed
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] jmorton10:
I have three 64 gig sandisk cards & have had nothing but trouble with them, I would NEVER buy another one.

I have had two replaced under warranty and one of my current ones is acting up.

Since I keep them backed up religiously to my PC I don't worry too much about it, but they are complete junk IMHO.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] nosympathy:
I went through 4 64gb cards before I got one that has worked. Had it since a few weeks after the gsiii came out.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] jackdubl:
This seems to confirm that they are unreliable, at best. Can anyone suggest a reliable seller to buy from? Maybe I should pay the extra and get direct from SanDisk.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] gnex0422:
I was just going to go buy one today and found this. I was going to buy it from bestbuy or staples. Does anyone have any suggestions on another brand to buy at those stores?

[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] pool_shark:
Nothing you buy is going to have a 100% success rate and it won't please everyone.

I think most posts you see about the Note 2 sdcard will say sandisk 64, and I believe you will see the majority are satisfied.

[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] jmorton10:
I would buy a Secure Digital or a Kingston myself, I wouldn't buy another Sandisk even if they where 50% off.

I had completely forgotten, I also have a defective 32 gig POS Sandisk sitting here that I never bothered to get replaced.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] bond32:
I ordered the SanDisk from Amazon.com. I don't get it, it's a memory card. There are no moving parts, it doesn't get tired or worn (unless you're constantly taking it in and out). The majority of the negative reviews say it worked fine for 4 or 5 months or so then just quit. With all the variables assicoated with something like this, to me it seems more likely an app or file caused corruption in the negative reviews.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] jmorton10:
The problems I have had with Sandisk are not corruption, the cards completely cease to function & will not even reformat.

Sure, they replace the junk under warranty but it's still a PITA.

You guys buy whatever you want, I don't really care but it makes little sense to me to buy Sandisk when there are other brands available that are far more trouble free.

I have had a ton of memory cards over the years & the one brand I will never buy again is Sandisk (the only reason I bought them originally was no other brand made a 64 gig at the time)
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] bond32:
You said it ceased to function, im not saying you're wrong or anything I'm just curious why and exactly what happened. I've had sd cards fail to read periodically but it was due to driver issues, moving from computer, etc. I've never had one that stayed in the phone all of the sudden fail.

Again not calling you out, I'm just wondering what happened.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] jackdubl:
Well, I can tell you exactly what I did with my last one, the second in a row not to work. I put it in the phone, it read fine. I plugged the phone into my windows xp pro laptop and copied a picture onto it. I unplugged the phone and accessed the picture. I deleted the picture and rebooted the phone. The picture was back. I then tried deleting the picture in every way I knew how; from the phone and the laptop. It was always back after reboot. I tried to format the card and formatting failed whether from the phone or laptop with formatting patch. Then the card read as damaged from the phone, it would ask to format it, and formatting would fail. I sent it back and the store couldn't delete the file either. I have been using both a SanDisk and Samsung 32gb card for years and never experienced any problem. Also used several 2gb sandisk cards in the past with no problems. Never tried a different brand of 64gb card, but maybe I'll try that.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] nosympathy:
I got mine through best buy for 50 bucks and they exchanged it every time no question asked. The 50 was a special though and I dunno what they sell for now. That was back when they were 150.

Ordered online and exchanged over the phone every time. I actually had 5 cards at one time it happened so fast that they just had me ship the four defective ones back together.

Then they screwed up and refunded my money and I called to let them know since I am not that kind of person and if there were to be an issue again I wouldn't have problems and they just told me they didn't really have a way to fix that and I should be happy. Let me tell you I was!

Exactly out of the box is the way to go. I've had a 64gb card for over a year no problems at all.

[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] nrfitchett4:
I've had a lot of San disk cards without any problems.

Doesn't the literature say the phone only officially supports 32gb cards? Maybe this is the reason why. Unstable at higher storage amounts.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] DaRkL3AD3R:
Initially I was very interested in picking up this card: http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16820171582

Then I thought about something. First off, internal memory is significantly faster than even a Class 10 Micro SDXC card. Like, way faster. It's the reason why the camera app defers to internal memory for Burst shots and Slow Motion video modes. It requires that higher bandwidth and faster latency to write properly and keep up with what the camera is sending to be saved.

Second, internal memory is bound to start hitting 32GB minimum by the end of 2013. I won't be needing a new device until at least the Note 3, maybe even a Note 4 (I hope they continue that far into the future) and I'm sure we'll have at least double the internal memory we have now at that point. When you factor in that internal memory is going to be expanding past the point of needing an SD Card, what's the point in even buying a 64GB card now? If you have a 32GB card, like I do, then cool use it in the Note 2 to get that little bit of extra storage space. But the closer we get to 32GB minimum internal storage, the closer I get to not caring about external storage needs in my device.

Now removeable batteries better stay in Samsung devices. That I can't go without :P
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] shill1986:
I went ahead and sprung 100 dollars for the Samsung class 10 (well uhs1 but...). Solid card, like it a lot, though I'm sure no different from a SanDisk in terms of performance, stability is another matter. I just really like Samsung products. Always been quality for me ever since I got my TVs I try to stick with em

I originally got it for the SD Swap but haven't got around to doing it because I'm pretty sure it formats the card first and I haven't been around a computer to back out up recently. I don't really take pictures and 3-4gb fits all my must have music. Apps can fill a phone quite quick.

2 things that people report about these cards are

#1.apparently the first batch that were sold in 2012 were defective but sandisk is accepting responsibility and insuring a full warranty exchange for a new one from the new pile

heres an email straight from Sandisk

Sandisk has been experiencing a higher than normal return rate on their 64gb cards and has recalled a part of their inventory. They will be replacing the defective units with working ones. Expect a delay of about a week.

everyone should be safe to buy these now

#2 there seems to be a problem with a double partition on these cards ? some note 2s have issues with it some dont (go figure) but there is a way to remove the 2nd partition which requires a small amount of work and patience and if you made it to this site then you obviously can do both. its somewhere in the forum just do a quick search.
