1. Yes

2. Most prefer TWRP, but if you will use ViperLTE, then you need to use TWRP 2.3.3.0 (not the newest 2.5.0.0).
[Verizon HTC Droid Incredible 4G LTE] cawaller:
Thanks again. I saw a couple of posts about the new TWRP and downloaded the 2.3.3.0.
[Verizon HTC Droid Incredible 4G LTE] cawaller:
I tried but didn't succeed. My phone is seen as FA29XXXXX but looks like there are others that saw this as well that did succeed. I'm probably missing something. So couple more questions...

1. During step 2 here (step 1 in the .bat file) where the script is unlocking my bootloader, I get a message on my phone about "restore". Am I supposed to choose the option to restore or not restore. I tried the process 2 times.. on the 1st attempt I was searching for an answer and my phone ended up just rebooting and then going into Step 2 of modifying the CID which didn't work. On the 2nd try I chose to restore and phone did the same thing. Which one should I be choosing; restore or do not restore?

2. Should the phone automatically go to step 2 in the .bat file to modify the CID? If it does how do I get to the option of going into settings to change the USB debugging and Fast boot?

3. Is there anyway to by pass the initial setup when you turn your phone on after the reset..or does it matter?

I'm using Windows 8 which may be an issue?
[Verizon HTC Droid Incredible 4G LTE] mdmower:
1) When you reach the "restore" point in the script, you're supposed to pick up your phone and confirm the restore process (without entering any password).

2) The script will automatically move on to changing your CID once you accept the restore process. You only change the fastboot and usb debugging settings after the script is completely finished.

3) At a certain point you should be able to just tap the home button to skip most of the initial setup stuff.
[Verizon HTC Droid Incredible 4G LTE] cawaller:
On the 2nd try I chose to confirm the restore and phone did the same thing.. batch file ran and phone rebooted but I still was not unlocked. I will try 1 more time from my current laptop and if it does the same I will try from an older OS machine to see if that works. Thanks again.

That's what happened to me the first time I tried to root my phone. I was running a 32 bit Windows 7 on my computer, but it had the HTC sync drivers installed. I deleted all the HTC drivers from that install off the computer, and installed drivers linked here instead. Then the script worked perfectly for me.
[Verizon HTC Droid Incredible 4G LTE] mdmower:
Here's that drivers thread mentioned: link
[Verizon HTC Droid Incredible 4G LTE] samstein66:
Many thanks OP. One question about the wording of a sentence in your OTA warning-

"I strongly recommend users revert their CID after unlocking or doing facepalm S-OFF."

Does this mean you recommend doing either action (revert CID or going S-OFF) after unlocking? Or did you mean you recommend reverting CID after either action (unlocking or going S-OFF)?

Sorry if I'm being dense...
[Verizon HTC Droid Incredible 4G LTE] mdmower:
Revert your cid
[Verizon HTC Droid Incredible 4G LTE] samstein66:
I just did using your script. It worked, but I figured I should give you one slight quirk I encountered.

On my first shot through the script, option 3 did not get it done and my CID was still 111... So I selected the "No, my cid is 11111111. Factory reset and try again" option in the script and then hit factory reset on my bootloader screen.

After selecting factory reset, I wound up in my recovery (TWRP). I wasn't quite sure what to think at that point, so I just did system reboot from the TWRP menu. My phone rebooted at that point without having done a factory reset -- I still had the few apps I installed since flashing the ROM last night and my gmail account/etc. I then continued on with your script window and selected option 3 again and it worked.

Kind of weird? Or maybe I just missed something?

Anyway, script got the job done. Just a little strangely from my perspective.

Thanks.
[Verizon HTC Droid Incredible 4G LTE] tnez:
need some help reverting my CID.

i RUU'ed, unlocked, rooted, installed recovery and S-OFF'd and flashed ViperRom but now cant revert the CID.

the auto script fails and says i need root. i have root. i then tried it the manual way and get this:

C:\Inc4GUnlockV61-Windows>adb devices
* daemon not running. starting it now on port 5037 *
* daemon started successfully *
List of devices attached
HT26MS300255 device

C:\Inc4GUnlockV61-Windows>adb shell "su -c 'dd if=/dev/block/mmcblk0p4 of=/sdcar
d/cid'"
/sdcard/cid: cannot open for write: Read-only file system

C:\Inc4GUnlockV61-Windows>

any help would be great
[Verizon HTC Droid Incredible 4G LTE] cawaller:
Finally got up the courage to try this again. Not sure it made a difference but I uninstalled the 4.1 HTC drivers and installed the latest of the 4.0 drivers. The script worked the 1st time.

Thanks!
[Verizon HTC Droid Incredible 4G LTE] dodgerinNH:
Just to let anyone know who might have had a problem getting the automated script to work to revert CID (I tried a few times with no luck). But today I did it manually and it worked like a charm!! Thanks to MDmower & Jose for that (and a variety of other things!!)
[Verizon HTC Droid Incredible 4G LTE] cawaller:
Why no "donate" button? Or am I just overlooking it? You've helped me out of several of my mess ups and I hit the Thanks button but don't see one for donate.
[Verizon HTC Droid Incredible 4G LTE] mdmower:
I balance the help I give some users with grouchiness towards others who fail to do their homework. So, for every dollar I may deserve, I definitely owe a dollar for the snide remarks I make to others. It all balances out in the end.

By the way, your post is off-topic.
[Verizon HTC Droid Incredible 4G LTE] DLAddict:
If using (6) Facepalm S-OFF, why do I need to do (7) DirtyRacun HBOOT?

Won't (6) give me S-OFF already?
[Verizon HTC Droid Incredible 4G LTE] mdmower:
S-OFF, yes, but the custom HBOOT is needed to be able to flash to the /boot partition from recovery. The stock HBOOT blocks access while in recovery.
[Verizon HTC Droid Incredible 4G LTE] giga-ts:
i have desire 4g LTE with an FAXXXXXXXXX device code and can't do supercid anyone can help me? :(
[Verizon HTC Droid Incredible 4G LTE] mdmower:
FA... is a valid serial number. Follow the manual instructions closely and report the exact step that faults.
[Verizon HTC Droid Incredible 4G LTE] giga-ts:
nothing faults,no errors or anything but afterwards there is no supercid.

my phone has UTSI_005 CID and HBOOT 1.16 is it a reason?

p.s. i have made htcdev unlock already and rooted but i need s-off to flash radio
[Verizon HTC Droid Incredible 4G LTE] mdmower:
Clearly SOMETHING faults or you'd have SuperCID. Read the outputs from the commands issued in the manual instructions and look for something out of the ordinary. I'm especially interested in what happens with the adb dd commands. They require you be at root shell btw.
[Verizon HTC Droid Incredible 4G LTE] giga-ts:
no errors also no supercid

only diferrence in steps is that i can't flash RUU and only made factory reset
[Verizon HTC Droid Incredible 4G LTE] jose51197:
ok so i see cid isnt chaging, try dumping the mmcblk0p4 for yourself and using a hex editor to manually change it, also please respond to my pms for assisteance
[Verizon HTC Droid Incredible 4G LTE] mdmower:
It does look like you are able to read/write to /dev/block/mmcblk0p4, which is good. It may be that the Desire 4G LTE has the CID located at a different address. You can open the cid file using HxD after pulling it from /sdcard. Then search for UTSI_005 and determine the offset.

Here is a picture of my hex editor (Linux, so Bless instead of HxD, but you should get the idea). In the status bar you can see the offset = 0x204 for me. You need to find your own offset.
[Verizon HTC Droid Incredible 4G LTE] giga-ts:
yes, also changed with hexeditor was UTSI_00599... and changed to eight ones(11111111) and 99... my imei
[Verizon HTC Droid Incredible 4G LTE] mdmower:
Ok, do some consistency checks:

1) Open the cid file in a hex editor, make your edits, save and close. Re-open the cid file in a hex editor and ensure SuperCID is still written.

2) Push the modified cid file to your sdcard, then dd write it to mmcblk0p4. Re-pull from mmcblk0p4 and see if the block was ever actually written to.

#1 is easy to fix: remove the read-only flag

#2 may mean that HBOOT 1.16 blocks writing to mmcblk0p4, which has been seen on some other HTC devices lately.
[Verizon HTC Droid Incredible 4G LTE] giga-ts:
i tried everything, also manually edited mmcblk0p4 from rootexplorer but after reboot reverts back to UTSI_005

is there any other way to flash radio without s-off?
[Verizon HTC Droid Incredible 4G LTE] mdmower:
No, S-OFF is necessary. Looks like you're SOL unless HTC releases firmware that doesn't block writes to mmcblk0p4.
[Verizon HTC Droid Incredible 4G LTE] giga-ts:
i needed this mmcblk0p4 for supercid and supercid for s-off and s-off for flashing (droid incredible 4g lte) radio.

is this steps correct to achieve flashing another version of radio?

or can i do something to achieve this?

[MENTION=4258433]mdmower[/MENTION]

what is in the fakebackup.ab is it SU.apk or what? I am just looking into this for a different phone.
[Verizon HTC Droid Incredible 4G LTE] mdmower:
It is /data/local.prop with ro.kernel.qemu=1 so that the phone boots into emulator mode. See here for one possible method of generating the file: http://seclists.org/fulldisclosure/2013/Jun/115. The instructions in this thread still rely on Bin4ry's race condition method.
[Verizon HTC Droid Incredible 4G LTE] antwonw:
I am having some serious issues attempting to temp-root. I can't get it to go.

The first issue I had was attempting to go from Stock ROM w/ root and Facepalm S-OFF and CMWR to a CM10.1 build months back. Well in doing so I borked the radios some how and could never get it to work on CM10.1. Luckly I had made a backup and was able to restore back to stock with working radios. Well fast forward to 4 weeks ago when I again tried to go from my Stock ROM to CM10.2. This time is totally messed up the radios. No matter how many times I followed mdmower's method to try and fix it, it would not work. Even trying to restore back to my backup didn't resolve the issue. Finally, I followed Unlimited.IO's method of RUUing and got the radios to work again after about 3 factory resets. Then I wanted to continue and get myself back up to a working environment for flashing ROMs so I started to continue Unlimited's with the next step being "Temproot your phone via any method available - we cannot help with this step and it is REQUIRED!" and.....am stuck. I have RUUed this device, no joke, about 10 times to see if I can get by my problem. I have done so with Unlimited.IO's method and the Facepalm S-OFF method listed in this post. I have research the internet for HOURS trying to figure out ways to temp root this device, but am at an impass. I have tried this automated script method at least 20 times and tried it manually about 15 times using about 5 different methods I found online and this manual method. However, it won't let me restore the fakebackup.ab. The restore function is what seems to be the issue. I doesn't like that function. I even figure, well if I could just temp boot up CWMR and flash the superuser then I might be able to continue so I tried to do a "fastboot boot recovery.img" and it doesn't like that either.

I am currently on the RUU 2.17.605.2. The device is on stock recovery so I can't just flash the superuser. It is also RELOCKED in the bootloader with the following information:

I have no idea what to do. Right now I am just stuck in this weird stock/s-off state which I can't seem to get out of. It appears I'm S-Off-ed, but locked bootloader. (I also tried "fastboot oem unlock" and...nope!)

Anyone have any ideas how I can get by this.

Thanks guys!
[Verizon HTC Droid Incredible 4G LTE] mdmower:
You are S-OFF, so stop trying to temp-root or unlock your phone. It's not needed. Flash the engineered HBOOT from unlimited.io: follow the instructions on the right sidebar; Windows users can run these commands by removing sudo ./ from each line. In place of the last "fastboot reboot" command, instead reboot to the bootloader: fastboot reboot-bootloader. Then, flash your favorite recovery.
[Verizon HTC Droid Incredible 4G LTE] antwonw:
Haha! Sorry for my ignorance there. I am used to more of Moto and Samsung unlocking and rooting. S-OFF is sometimes a bit confusing to me. However, I really appreciate people like you who are dedicated to helping people like me figure this stuff out.

I did what the unlimited.io site said for the HBOOT and got to flashing again.

Thank you!

See if you have better luck with the manual instructions. Report back on the exact step that fails.

Edit: Wait... You do get that the procedure numbers in the script are not meant to be followed sequentially?

Sorry I wasn't clear. I was having problems with Step 2 of "Bootloader Unlock". Anyway, I followed your suggestion, used manual instructions and was able to complete the unlock successfully.

Thank you for your help.

[Verizon HTC Droid Incredible 4G LTE] Cjen1987:
How do you get s-on?
[Verizon HTC Droid Incredible 4G LTE] MJL99:
hmm, just tried running step 1 on another inc4g and at the htcdev site its telling me the unlock token that im copying from the auto script is

Error Code: Invalid Bootloader Token Length.

Error Reason: The submitted Token appears to be the wrong length and won't work.

tried copying multiple times and same result.

cant imagine what else i could be doing wrong.

edit: disregard. i think the issue was i needed to copy the unlock token headers as well. i wasnt doing that previously

How can i unlock the bootloader after it was re-locked?
[Verizon HTC Droid Incredible 4G LTE] flyinjoe13:
I'm probably going to get killed for asking these questions, but I want to make sure I do everything right because I don't want to ruin the phone somehow so go easy on me.

1.) On the first page it lists three spererate root methods (HTCDev Unlock, Dirty Racun and FacePalm). I'm assuming i'm supposed to pick one of the methods, not do all three. Is there a consensus on which is the best, easiest method to follow? Another forum I was on said to use FacePalm so that is the one i'm leaning towards unless I hear otherwise.

2.) Any benefit to using one of the recoveries over the other? I've always used CWM on all my other phones, but if TWRP is better, I have no problem switching to that one. I guess one benefit is the touchscreen interface of TWRP, but is there any other benefits.

3.) Same thing with super-user apps. Is there one that is better than the others or do they all basically accomplish the same thing?

Thanks. I'm sure i'll have more questions once I get into doing this for real. I'm still waiting for the phone to arrive from Ebay so i'm trying to get a jump on everything I am going to need.

Possible resolution

---Warning, this is to flash to verizon factory and i will not claim any damages done to your device, i am just telling you what i have done to my phone that happened to work for me---

THIS IS FOR CDMA NOT GSM

you can access fast boot correct?

if you can follow these steps they worked for me

first off, follow this and/or buy a factory cable

http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?p=20571009

that will fix any battery problem, it will bypass the battery/charging circuitry

download the droid razr utility http://www.droidrzr.com/index.php/topic/12777-droid-razr-utility-xt912-jellybean-windows-mac-linux-all-in-one/ and download / unzip it (preferable to the desktop it does not really matter as long as you can find it)

once you download that install the included drivers, if you have them already installed, update/repair them

next download the newest version of RSD lite (i am using v5.7) however it is encluded with the download for the utility (it is 6.1.4) you should have no problem

connect your device via usb, and start it in fast boot mode

then open rsd lite, on the bottom portion your device should show up in the first slot, select it.

next click the three dots in the top middle and browse to the location you have unzipped the razr utility, there should be a file called "cdma_spyder_9.8.2O-72_VZW-16_1ff" double click this and then click start

this should pass without a problem and then congrats your phone will be unbricked

---WARNING---

this flashes to verizon factory

and

yet again i do not claim any responsibility for damages done to your phone

[Motorola Droid RAZR] draltus:
now your battery is low.

and your problem is system files like cdt.bin you have to flash this file via fastboot. BUT first solve the low battery problem

first you have to find a motorola factory cable. because if your battery level is low you can not flash any program via fastboot. If you have not factory cable you can make a factory cable . for this ask google ( http://lmgtfy.com/?q=motorola+factory+cable+video)

when you solve low battery problem than fallow instructions

please read instructions.

1-download cdt.bin ( http://www.mediafire.com/?ua1nj6ds6r0vtue )

2-download fastboot files ( http://dfiles.eu/files/bih3tmg7b )

3-restart your phone in to bootloader ( fastboot ) mode

4-connect your phone via usb cable

5-open cmd.exe in your pc an go to fastboot files

6-flash cdt.bin via this command -------------------------------------- fastboot flash cdt.bin cdt.bin

7-restart your phone in to stock recovery

8-do triple wipe and restart your phone or flash your rom via rsd lite in to fastboot mode

thank you SEMSEDDIN for this solution. you save my life....

In RSD Lite, Proess fails at step 6 where it says fails while flashing cdt.bin so seems like problem is with that.

Also i put the phone on charge and it said Battery OK even after i removed wall charger and attached datacable and it stayed Battery OK while i was doing all this. So seems like no battery issue for now
