It worked finally for me!!!

The device showed up both as storage devices but also as andriod ADB interface - was only showing up as storage devices before. Going to try with other SD cards to see if I can replicate.

Haven't been able to replicate my success thus far. :(
[Droid Incredible Android Development] jitajt:
what did you do to finally get it to work? mine just shows up as two storage devices while in recovery, I tried about 4 different versions of windows and ubuntu, 4 different sd cards, and they all did the exact same thing. I just tried the method above and still no go.
[Droid Incredible Android Development] akudaikon:
If people are still having trouble, try formatting the 2gb SanDisk SD card that came free from Verizon as FAT32. Boot the phone into recovery, leaving the USB cable plugged in, and it should hopefully work.

I spent days trying to get my phone rooted, using every method, trick, and technique posted on the forums, but nothing ever worked for me. However, after reformatting my card, it started working every single time, without having to worry about timing, quickly removing and inserting the SD card, disconnecting and reconnecting the USB cable at certain times... none of those tricks.
[Droid Incredible Android Development] compnird:
Used the following to no avail:

2GB PNY from BestBuy Black Packaging

2GB PNY from Best Buy in White Packaging

Also tried formatting both to FAT32, NTFS and back to FAT

PC1 is a Desktop running Win7 Pro with P4 1.6ghz with HyperThreading 2GB RAM

PC2 is a T60 Laptop running XP with 1.8ghz Cor2Duo 2GB RAM

Incredible was shipped and received before the release date. (first batch)

Methods used, literally all of them at least 10x each.
[Droid Incredible Android Development] incredible_rooter:
Now that you mention it. I did reformat my SD card to FAT32 before trying the method I just posted. I forgot that part.
[Droid Incredible Android Development] incredible_rooter:
This is all the same for me. Never fear, mine did eventually work. I was using a 2GB SanDisk card that came with the phone.
[Droid Incredible Android Development] compnird:
On try number 4 using this method.... Still no luck.
[Droid Incredible Android Development] joderme:
I tried the method in post #84 on this thread. I have tried a number of different SD cards and versions of windows too including OS x. I still haven't been able to replicate. I guess I got the usb in right at the right time as the disk drives showed but more importantly the Android ADB Interface showed up in devices. I wish I had some better news :|
[Droid Incredible Android Development] captsoto:
You sir are my hero.
[Droid Incredible Android Development] th3drow:
didn't work for me :/

edit:

ok got it to work, have the stock sd card.

i formated the card to fat32, then i downloaded the latest android drivers from the android sdk. when i was in the menu to select recovery, in my device manager i would see it was recognizing as android 1.0, so i fixed the drivers and installed them on that so it showed as "Android Phone" at the top

I set my command prompt to loop, ejected my sd card, hit recovery and right before i hit the black screen put back in my sd card and i got it!
[Droid Incredible Android Development] Irishpride:
How did you "fix" the drivers so it recognized it as "Android Phone"?

Mine only shows up as Android Phone before I go into recovery.

Here are the steps I took and what happened, if anyone could give any advice it would help a great deal.

1. Downloaded all the programs needed(SDK, root programs, ect) & put them in my SDK tools.

2. Installed the SDK driver.

3. Pulled up cmd and navigated to my tools folder.

4. Set up loop.

5. Hold down trackpad & power.

6. Now phone is recognized as "Android Phone".

7. Hit power and let it do it's thing for 20 sec.

8. Run the loop and then scroll to "recovery" and hit power, here is where it switches to "Android 1.0" and I can't get it to recognize.

I've spent countless hours working on this, any help would be much appreciated. Thanks
[Droid Incredible Android Development] vapehooka:
think drivers are not as important when doing the one card pull trick.

I couldn't get it to work anyway but that way and can again if need be.
[Droid Incredible Android Development] th3drow:
it disappears off of command prompt after you hit recovery, i'm not sure if it had anything to do with my success at all though, just noted it incase.
[Droid Incredible Android Development] E30kid:
This entire thing seems to be predicated off of the phone and the SD card only. It looks like the computer does not factor into the equation. Simply put, you either get into adb recovery, or you don't.

The method that finally worked for me was borgey's method. You can plug in your USB cable whenever you want, but it must be plugged in before you load into recovery.

1. Load up the fastboot menu by holding down power and the optical trackpad.

2. Press power again to select fastboot (or bootloader, whatever the top selection is).

3. Click the SD card out, highlight recovery, and then press power to select recovery.

4. As the first white HTC screen is loading, you will hear a "detach" sound if you are on a windows computer. Immediately click the SD card in at this time. Timing is crucial at this point, as the SD card must be in before recovery finishes loading. If you are on a linux computer, you could wait for the white screen to turn black, but that would be more difficult to time.

5. Try to get into shell.

6. If you did not get into recovery, reboot into the OS by holding down power and volume up and clicking power again. Do a battery pull and repeat steps 1-5.

I hope this helps, as it helped me out. I ended up rooting with the Moto Droid's stock Sandisk 16GB class 2 microSDHC card.
[Droid Incredible Android Development] Irishpride:
I have spent an insane amount of time working on this and I think I might have to just hope they come up with an easier way to root it and hope they do it soon.
[Droid Incredible Android Development] th3drow:
ya i tried again and i can't replicate

maybe just try it now and then again, all just luck :/
[Droid Incredible Android Development] qwho:
This worked for me. the stuff in bold is the last thing I tried that was different than anything else i had been doing. stock 2gb sd card

EDIT:

THOUGHT Root didn't take. IT DID... WOO.

NOW the sd card method above doesn't work for me. So I am again locked out of deleting apps and such via shell. But hey I have su.apk and wifi tethering working.
[Droid Incredible Android Development] compnird:
FINALLY!!!

OK folks I finally achieved root!!!

I was using the "remove SD card method" but it still never worked, nothing I did would work.

I was formatting the card in FAT32 on a Win7 machine and never got it to fly.

I popped that card into my XP computer and formatted in FAT32 and this card will now get me into recovery every time.

Only change was formatting in XP. Then click the card out at HBOOT and then back in when the disconnect chime sounds.

I had Loop running.

Used PNY 2GB MicroSD
[Droid Incredible Android Development] vzw:
Gawd! I know this isn't one of those cry about things forums..... Its just so frustrating I have again found a new method that works for others that have been banging their heads against the wall trying to get it to work and it has~! BUT NOT FOR ME again... Its so the principle of the thing at this point... Yes I would like root but its the fact i just can't do it after 5-6 days! Me and my friend cmd prompt have gotten to know each other again after a long time apart....

I am thinking either this is the biggest rouse in internet history to play a joke on me that root is possible and I just can't do it or its just not in the cards for me to get root.

Ok Im done whining back to loop.bat until the cows come home!
[Droid Incredible Android Development] qwho:
Never give up. I was about to, I just kept trying every method people posted. Something will eventually work for you. You could try the last ditch effort of buying a 16 gb sd card, just about everyone seems to think it's a sure thing.
[Droid Incredible Android Development] polo2883:
Ok so I thought it was just pure luck that people say the memory card would make a difference. Well I went out and bought a class 2 4gb sandisk card and it didnt work. Then went out and bought a 2gb PNY one and it worked first time.
[Droid Incredible Android Development] jvward:
Hey,

I am working on a root for the Eris. Can you post the mpn or exact model on the 2gb pny that seems to be working for most of you.

Thanks!
[Droid Incredible Android Development] jitajt:
it took me about four days and I finally got it, I formatted a 2gb SanDisk to fat32,

did not put the card in while the phone was on, pulled the battery, booted into bootloader,

had the cord plugged in and the sd card in but not locked, ran the loop on the computer, got my sd card trigger finger ready,

hit recovery and as soon as I hit power I start popping the sd card in and out as fast as I can.

it takes me about 4-8 tries this way but it is the only way I was able to do it. this was done on a win 7 x64 laptop and desktop.

I thought my phone was un-rootable until I saw that heavenly error /system/bin/sh' failed: No such file or directory.

I have done this 4 times now but I had to reformat the card every time or it wouldn't work.

I hope this helps someone out,

thanks to everyone that posted how they rooted theirs because I took a little from each and applied it to my phone and it worked. And of course the Unrevoked Team
[Droid Incredible Android Development] br125:
I tried everything I could find on here with my two sandisk cards:

1. the 2gb that came with the phone

2. an 8gb class 6

Nothing worked, so I went to the t-mobile store and got the kingston 4gb class 4 card there and go figure, the first try adb in recovery.

If you've tried everything else I highly recommend just going out and buying the card..
[Droid Incredible Android Development] Ffej5647:
Worked for me first try after days and days of trying with stock sd card then I pushed everything to sdcard but then i accidentally powered it off and havent been able to get back in adb since! Pissed me off soo much so now all i can do is update the ota but i cant trick it :'(
[Droid Incredible Android Development] mattwood2000:
Guys, the race condition is really random and probably varies greatly from unit to unit. Nothing worked for me until I tried booting into recovery mode with no SDCard inserted, and then right before the red triangle screen came up I would insert my card. The timing was hard to nail down, but I was able to do it 4 times or so in my process of rooting and exploring.

I used both a 2G class 2 Sandisk and an 8G class 2 Sandisk.

So I think you just need to keep trying different methods - It seems that the SDCard type does play a role due to the mounting timing, but ultimately it IS a race condition and could be somewhat difficult to reproduce over and over reliably.
[Droid Incredible Android Development] daddymacbuff:
Finally got it.. Here is what I did.

Ok here is what did not work.

16gb card that came with wifes droid

2gb card that came with Incredible

So bought a 16gb adata class 6 card

Tried regurlar method first time did not work

Then

Tried the push the card in and out method worked first time.

Tried this with the other 2 cards did not work. So for me it was the card and went with the one that worked for everyone else and what do you know it worked.
[Droid Incredible Android Development] vzw:
Thanks I will try just to keep putting in and out the same way you did this.... we will see we will see
[Droid Incredible Android Development] lgldrgdlr:
I finally got it. To stay in form, here's what I did, from the beginning:

I'm using an 8gb sandisk card. I formatted it FAT32 the long way. I don't have HTC sync or modified SDK drivers. I wasn't sure about which packages to load with the SDK, so I installed only those that are related to 2.1. Plugged phone in usb turned on for everyday use, debugging enabled. Used adb reboot-bootloader in cmd window to get to bootloader (sd card installed). Hit power to go to menu with "recovery listed". Had the loop.bat file running in the cmd window. Highlighted recovery and when I hit power button, I began the insert and remove sd method. As soon as the /!\ came up, I got the correct error in the cmd window. I then just followed the video method from androidforums 10 minute root guide

I also dl'd the files that were uploaded for this method. Seems to make things abit smoother.

Good luck all. Keep trying if you want it. I've been trying (probably at least 2 hours a day) since the original method was posted. It'll happen eventually.
[Droid Incredible Android Development] jmdearras:
Mine is identical (early ship unit) and also will not connect in recovery.
[Droid Incredible Android Development] daddymacbuff:
Nothing worked for me nothing endless hours put in to rooting...

Until I bought a a data class 6 16gb memory card others had success not sure anyone has not had success and it worked 1st time for me.
[Droid Incredible Android Development] jitajt:
I forgot to mention in my list of what I did that you might want to keep device manager open and observe, when mine finally took the first time it showed up as ADB and two usb disk drives with an exclamation mark in them and the drivers had to install again even though I had everything installed and working in ADB while the phone was on, after the drivers installed i was golden, and it someone mentioned somewhere in this sea of posts to turn the phone on and run car panel and navigate somewhere then close that and go to a few places on the internet (the formatted sd card is never in the phone when I do this), I don't know why maybe it is just in my head but I seem to get root access quicker when I do that then when I don't. so when I want to get back into root I always navigate then browse a couple pages of the web, pull the battery get everything ready do the rest of the steps i mentioned and BAM within 4-8 tries I am in.

I remeber reading it in a forum but I'm not sure if it was this one. I see 2 disk drives when my phone is plugged in. Phone memory and SDcard. Is that what is suppose to happen? did anyone get the device to be found when there were 2? or is there something I have to fix so it is only 1?

Hello friends,

I was searching for a way of modifying the strip of symbols that the qwerty keypad offers you we you tap and hold a key for a while (e.g.: !àáâãä ... ). What I wanted to do is to include some symbols quite often used in Spanish (¿, ¡, ...) but not present in the original qwerty keypad.

After searching for a while, I have not found anything about this. Does anyone know how to do it?

Thanks in advance,

Hi all,

I just received my HTC TOUCH2, and was very desapointed to see that the Letter/Block Recognizer wasn't available.

I found a couple of threads on the subject, mis of registry tweaks, cooked rom's ... Also searched around for an easy-non-risky solution.

And...MIRACLE. After consolidating misc post, I found 2 old cabs (attached), installed them, and it WORKS perfectly!!

Procedure:

1. install both cabs

2. run "bloc recog" program, it will enable/install? letter/block recognition deature

3. run SIPChange program, and select your favourite input method

Cheers

I have the same problem.

I have installed both cabs. In the start directory I can find only SIPChange program, but "block recog" seems to be nowhere.

Adjusting settings in SIPChange doesnt have any effect
[Touch2 General] HButz:
:):):)

Thanks a lot for this hint.

After years with the TytnII I and being used to block recognizer I changed to the touch2 - and the missing BR war driving me crazy.

These two simple steps improved the touch significantly - and now I really do nor regret my choice anymore.

Thanks
[Windows Mobile Themes] bkf1:
Hello all,

I have found that some WM6.5.3 ROMs has icon-themed themes and label-themed themes. This is the default icon-themed:

When in "HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\Software\Microsoft\Shell\BubbleTiles" you will set:

1. "TextModeEnabled" on "0" (soft-reset the device) then you will see iconized buttons (e.g. lock icon) - Windows Mobile default.

2. "TextModeEnabled" on "1" (soft-reset the device) then you will see text-labeled buttons (e.g. you will see only "Lock" label instead of the lock icon).

Hey guys,

I am still very new customizing my touch pro 2. I would like to know how to edit the android start up text. Mostly for the ability to overclock but also I would like to become more familiar with this os.

I have really had issues with my device running on Windows Mobile and would love to keep Android . Any help at all would be much appreciated (even if you make me look like a fool). I love this phone, But I have exchanged it many times due to it being sluggish and totally unusable. If I can't figure this out I will be selling my brand new phone and getting a Nexus One in the hopes that the combination of android and a stupid fast cpu will make me happy.

To all of the people who are working so very hard getting android fully functional. Thank You. Thank you for all your help guys I know your time is better spent not answering my stupid questions. Rich
