Transcend 4gb SDHC class 4

Format FAT32, 1024 block allocation size, Win7x64

only file: PB31IMG.zip in root, used to downgrade to HBOOT 77 > 79

worked 1st try thereafter -- no click-in-out, MejDam's instructions after adb shell obtained

P.S. Kingstong 4gb/class4 sdhc, previously believed to be 100%, did not work out of the box, clicking or non-clicking--oh well, it was only $10 @ CompUSA :D

I rooted this morning with my wife's 16gig SD that came with her Droid, using the first method in the 10min video. i didn't need to format it. I used the sdk files from the video post even though i already had the sdk installed. After getting the "No such directory" message, i took the 16gig SD out and put in my stock 2gig to finish rooting because i wasn't sure if there was an update.zip on the 16gig card.
[Droid Incredible General] :
Personally, I have been able to get to the - exec '/system/bin/sh' failed: No such file or directory (2) -message 5 or 6 times now without any problems, thought I would provide some info about my use-case in case it might help others.

First, I would like to note that I have not actually pushed the update.zip or any other files to the device, I simply have entered recovery, manually running adb shell, and got the magic message (just to see if I could...). Not sure if such a test would be considered valid.

The key item I wanted to note about my microSD card - I am using a card that I popped out of an Olympus Digital Camera, which the DI complained about the card being "Damaged SD card" when inserting into the slot, however it seems to work fine for file access and I anticipate would allow update.zip to finish rooting. This might support the 'use different formats or partitions' logic being mentioned in the thread.

This is the card that came with the phone. Just did "adb reboot recovery" after phone was up for a minute or so. While in the white screen with "Incredible" over it was plugging in and out sd card (didn't run adh shell loop). Managed to do it just 2-3 times - it's not that simple. That's it. :)

This is the first time I tried with plugging in and out sd card and it worked right away.

Nothing worked for me. Tried all methods with lots of cards.

Stock SanDisk 2gb C4

Lexar 8gb C4

Lexar 8gb C6

DaneElec 4gb C4 (same as PNY 4/4 and Kingston 4/4)

As I was about to put my Inc for sale on Ebay. NiX threw out a suggestion on IRC. I tried it w/ the DaneElec and it worked.

It worked first try and every try since. Tried it with the stock sandisk 2/2 and no go. Haven't tried the Lexars.

Give it a shot. Good luck.

I went to Walmart and didnt see any of the exact cards mentioned here. But I thought that I saw many class 2 cards listed as working here. I bought a SanDisk 8GB class 2. I thought since I only have 2GB cards now at least I wouldnt be wasting money on another 2GB card. Anyway the class 2 8GB SanDisk works. I was able to get it 3 times now. And I think if I practice my timing I may be able to get it very often.

I used the 2GB card that came with the phone after not having any luck with my 16GB. It took me about 8 hours over three days, but I got it finally. I don't think the card has as much to do with it as the timing does.

I have been trying to get adb for the last 5 days when ever i have a few free mins. i was about to give up and call the hole rooting thing a big consperisy that i was not going to fall for for me to go buy a kingston or adata card. ;)

then last night i broke down went to walmart bught the Pny 2 gb. At first same results. but here is the thing that i read that i think realy did the trick. i used the POP in method you Need to have the card click back to lock and load while the sound for dissconecting usb is still makeing noise. I also formated it in every format the only one i got to adb recovery with was win 7 extfat. BUt the key was the timeing of the card going in at just the right time during the disconect.
[Droid Incredible General] Xylite:
After formatting to Win7 exFat, did you leave the card blank or put Superuser.apk on the card? Anything else on the card?

Also, the card should click back "while the sound for the disconnecting usb is still making noise". You mean on the white HTC screen after selecting recovery, right before the black !triangle?
[Droid Incredible General] Xylite:
Could you please list your order like daftlush did below:

"loop shell / Vol- + Power. / Hboot / wait for 4secs / insert card / highlight recovery / hit power + count to 3 or 5 and insert usb / wait till 10secs after /!\ "

About... to... give... up... must... keep... trying.
[Droid Incredible General] estat:
After spending hours with an 8GB Class 6 Transcend card, I bought the 2GB Class 2 PNY card from Walmart (was $10, near the cameras).

I had adb shell in recovery 3x in a half hour with this card. I had best results when inserting the card right when the screen changes from white with "htc incredible" to black with /!\, and you hear the windows perhipheral disconnect sound. I think I was able to get it once by just leaving the card in, but this was hard to replicate.

Hey just a quick question here

you've stated that the Kingston 4gb class 4 card seems to be a 100% successrate without any hassles and that its $25 dollers at any T-Mobile store

I already have an 8gb class 6 card that i use as my daily device... Can i buy the kingston SDcard.. take it home, root my phone with it, then replace it with my good SD card that i use and then return the kingston and get my money back? Do they do returns on sd cards?

I haven't had that issue. The closest thing is when you log in from your sense tab, it will download the picture to your contacts (if you have friends numbers loaded into your contacts and you reference them with their facebook account.)

If you go into your contacts and un-associate their facebook page with their contact info that should clear some of it up.

[EVO 4G General] demandarin:
I jsut read about this on engadget app. They said there was a clause in the new EVO4g contract stating that Sprint, at any time, may throttle data usuage. Meaning that they are going to cut it back or limit it somehow. That sounds like they following the AT&T route, to me.

I don't own an Evo yet, but my father has one. I was thinkn about switching back to Sprint. I haven't been with them in almmost 10yrs. They didn't have any unlimited plan back then. Anyways, lol, Sprint has good deals and unlimited plans now. I'm soo stuck on what I want to do. Either wait for Dell Streak on my current carrier, AT&T, or jump ship to Sprint and get the new EVO. My father loves the fact of being able to video chat thru Fring, which I put him on to. :P. Lol. He said it wrks great. So I'm at a crossroads of what I want to get. Then now sprint talkin bout cutting back data. Damn. I need unlimited, like I have now. I stay with carrier, I'm grandfathered in, as far as unlimited data goes. Even if I upgrade to the dell streak. I'm worried now that sprint gonna end their unlimited data. So I guess I better hurry in decide b4 the transition takes effect.

Juss some info, in case y'all haven't heard yet. If this is a repeat thread, Mods can delete, PLZ .

[EVO 4G General] robstunner:
That is all rumor, the picture isnt even the entire article. The terms and conditions already have data throttling in it, it says anything over 5GB would be throttled on any mifi/modem/phone as modem plans. NOTHING about the EVO 4g being throttled, other than the Engadget article gear twards it.

According to the Terms and Conditions online they already have it in there that they can limit any phone as modem data > 5GB a month. It also says that they CAN AND WILL change any plan data/service/ anything at any time, but scrolling down further says that if any change adversely affects you, you may call in and cancel without ETF's within 30 days of notice.
[EVO 4G General] Brutal-Force:
Right now, you really can't beat the EVO in terms of features.

As far as cost goes, I would say it is on par with most of the other carriers, give or take 10 dollars/mo.

I guess it really boils down to how good of service you are getting.

I just switched over from Tmo after 10 years, I think they were resting on their laurels. I don't have one bad thing to say about Tmo though. But I really had to have the EVO and it was worth the $10 dollars a month "Premium". After all is said and done, its about the same price as my G1 in terms of contract costs.

One bonus is that I will probably be able to drop my Brighthouse cable in a few month when 4G hits this area. I know there is rumors about a Cap, but I was told it was unlimited and that was the whole point of the extra 10 dollars month.

My Tmo plan was $89.99 for Unlimited Everything and My current Sprint Plan is $69.99 + $10 Premium (Only 450 Minutes to Landlines). Its a little awkward, but realistically, it works out for me. And If I find the real need for more landlines minutes, then it will just put me back on par with Tmo.

I just hope their service has improved from times past. I know Sprint and Nextel get no love around these parts (Tampa, FL).

Thnkx for clearing that up. Now I know the details. I have a feelin ima be jumping ship soon. Iphone4 is cool but not cooler thn Evo. ;-) I now need 4 in. Or betta..lmao.

I'm in Tampa and I am mostly in the Brandon, Plant City, and Temple terrace areas and I can tell you I am loving sprint. I switched from TMO with my Nexus One. I had decent 3g with TMO but not everywhere and when I did have 3g average was getting 500 - 600kbps on average and never above 1100kbps. Well since switching to sprint not once have I dropped 3g and I average 800 to 1100kbps and occasionally I will hit 2200 - 2400kbps. From my experience Sprint 3g is a lot faster than TMO and much better signal in the area.
[EVO 4G General] 06ms6:
Throttling is better than overage charging. I'd be really surprised if their limit is the same as AT&T's before overages (2GB). I'm holding out hope that they'll stick to 5GB.

Also, I bet the throttling cap is either higher on 4G or non-existent.
[EVO 4G General] ap3604:
I applaud carriers that protect their non-abusive customers from the abusive ones that download torrent's/youtube/pandora 24-7.

I couldn't imagine how bad the network might get if Sprint did not do this and everyone could then replace their home WiFi internet with the mobile hotspot feature. 5gb is more than enough for any customer out there. The one's that cry "but...but...but... we signed up for unlimited! Waaahhh!!!" are the ones abusing the system.
[EVO 4G General] jrdejavux:
i totally agree with you!

[EVO 4G General] paximos:
Sorry...but stupid opinion

You either offer unlimited and honor it or like ATT cap it. It is a rip off when you label it "unlimited" and then throttle it.

************
[EVO 4G General] Lee1733:
Personally, I would much prefer to have my data speed throttled (after reaching the 5gb cap) than to be charged extra to go over it. Perhaps have this as a choice, though, for those who need the extra speed? Seems like a much better option to me rather than only having 2GB and getting charged twice as much to go over it (even slightly).
[EVO 4G General] Xenithflare:
Um, every cellular carrier in the US caps their data usage. Ever since the inclusion of unlimited data plans, they've all been capped at 5GB/month, up until AT&T decided it would be "smarter" to lower the cap to 2GB (while barely lowering prices - half the usage should be HALF THE PRICE, MORONS).

They use the term "unlimited" as a PR term, not a literal one. When was the last time you hit 5GB on a cell phone? You really have to work at it, or try to replace your home internet service with it. It's practically unlimited, because it's such a hard gate to hit.

It's like Boost Mobile claiming to have unlimited web; sure, it's unlimited, but good luck using it.
[EVO 4G General] ap3604:
Gotta agree with you sir :)

Your spot on!

Anyone who cries about "but...but...but... I signed up for unlimited! waaahhh!" is just one of the abusive customers that is downloading torrents/youtube/pandora 24-7 and abusing the system. 5gb is more than enough for any normal customer.
[Nexus One General] Zenoran:
So I have this ongoing debate with a friend about who has the better phone. The droid has such a biased and idiotic fanboy mentality I really get a worse feeling than I did with apple. Benchmarks bla bla bla droid overclocked out the wazzoo (probably unstable as hell) gets better benchmarks then the nexus oook. Better screen? Better touch sensors? Better 3D? I'm really sick of hearing about it when I've personally used both and think the nexus is better.

The droid seems slow and sluggish moving around menus... even on 2.1 it was slow. The screen seemed to tear and was nowhere near as snappy as my nexus is.

Graphics okay.. sure the droid may perform with higher fps than the Nexus but I really don't care about that. If I wanted to play games on my phone I would get an iPhone which kills all android devices without a doubt. If this is a competition about gaming and graphics the app store and 3D-optimized iPhones are always going to win that debate. To be honest, I haven't even downloaded nor played 1 game on my Nexus since I bought it.

The fact is, I bought the nexus because I want productivity out of my phone. I want to be able to move around quickly through the OS and be able to text, make phone calls, and see my appointments on the screen with ease. Not only that but durability and resistance to daily wear are very important to me. I love the fact that I've had my Nexus since day one, with 0 protection and there is not a single scratch ANYWHERE.

Anyways, this isn't really a rant or "another droid vs nexus" thread (err well I guess it is kinda) but I am just curious for those of you who do infact have BOTH devices to explain your unbiased comments. I don't care about bogus overclocking and stupid benchmarks... I am curious as to how it all boils down when you use it throughout the day; which is a better experience and why?

Oh and if you are super elite and have an EVO as well, I'd be very happy to hear how you rate them all overall. :) The reason I'm having this debate with myself is because I'm considering leaving ATT for a CDMA carrier but the Nexus is what's keeping me with ATT atm.

Thanks :)

Nexus One:

- $50/mo contract free for voice and data

- Froyo + future updates immediately

- 1ghz processor

Motorola Droid:

- $70/mo with 2 year lockdown for voice and data

- No updates till months after due to Verizon stall

- 660mhz processor

Either way it's not really a competition for me. I am happy for all the brothers out there that get an android phone and increase the user base.

If I had to choose though I would def go with the Nexus One due to these 3 reasons.

its pretty much common knowledge that the nexus one has the droid beat. both are great phones though, but there is not really anything to debate here. the nexus has better hardware, except maybe for the possibility of a weaker gpu chipset. but run some benchmarks between the two phones, what frames per second do each get? i bet the nexus can match is somewhat.

I'm pretty sure the Droid is stock underclocked and the N1 is not, so I think that would be hard to achieve heh
