If i use this tool, will i be able to get the original factory recovery back if i ever wanted it?

I don't know if i worded that properly but i just want to know if it is reversible if necessary
[Droid Incredible Android Development] slorange:
Yes I do. I installed it when I first rooted along with WiFi hotspot.
[Droid Incredible Android Development] heavensblade23:
Yes, it's 100% reversible.
[Droid Incredible Android Development] supagene:
After Done! Message

What do you guys do after Done! message. I'm still in the recovery menu. I'm going to do a backup onto my SDCard with Nandroid, but what is my next step? Reboot the phone?
[Droid Incredible Android Development] Bxsteez:
Quick question. Should i have the ability to remove applications within recovery? I'm not sure if i'm doing something wrong but i get the same error i use to.
[Droid Incredible Android Development] PeteyNice:
My system remains unsettled. I stopped it and tried again on a different computer with the sane results. It seems perfectly settled to me. I can unlock it and use it just fine.

I will try it on a Mac tomorrow and see if it is any different.
[Droid Incredible Android Development] drieves1:
If have problem with connection. check your usb driver. htc sync stuff that was left after uninstall cause me problem. but worked great after.
[Droid Incredible Android Development] jonnybueno:
In clockworkmod recovery, choose partitions menu then mount /system. You can now rm things. Make a nandroid backup first though.
[Droid Incredible Android Development] letum00:
My hero, that helps me as well.
[Droid Incredible Android Development] anubis_dragoon:
Still stuck at settling.=(
[Droid Incredible Android Development] Shadowmite:
It you get stuck settling, PLEASE check any programs that might be using the phones connections, doubletwist, htcsync, pdanet, etc etc... Also make sure you have the driver mentioned in the included html file, NOT the sdk one.
[Droid Incredible Android Development] acidbath5546:
Worked beautifully! Thanks again!
[Droid Incredible Android Development] Bxsteez:
Thanks. I was trying to move the files to a backup folder in the emmc folder but i decided to do pull all the apps to my desktop and then do a nandroid backup. Thanks for the help though.
[Droid Incredible Android Development] jdmba:
N00b question

I had a particular scare when rooting, so I would like to make sure I completely understand what is happening. I note someone else questioned #2 but his answer led to a dead end, so I would like to be more specific in my question.

Step 2 is "2. You will also want to at some point do a adb shell into the phone and su if you have not. Superuser if installed will prompt you to give access. This must be done before the tool will work."

When I rooted, I used the last final payload. SU is fully functioning on my phone and I have run lamppu, WiFi Tether, and MyBackup also acknowledged my root; all 3 had a SU request pop up.

My question is ... Have I met step 2, or is step 2 something else (and PLEASE explain).

Otherwise, if I have met step 2, it seems my steps are [1] update my USB driver, [2] uninstall HTC Sync, [3] run the unrevoked program.

If I am in error PLEASE let me know.
[Droid Incredible Android Development] kentoe:
Awesome I got the CWM latest installed now along with rom manager. I'm so pumped, nice job unRevoked team!
[Droid Incredible Android Development] 760hacker:
links to latest? PM me both please. THanks!
[Droid Incredible Android Development] slorange:
Thanks for clarifying. That's exactly what I was getting at.
[Droid Incredible Android Development] rynosaur:
Very slick, thanks very much, chaps! Consider the EFF my next donation location! ;)
[Droid Incredible Android Development] onodontbescurred:
su never asked for access but the program worked... now that I have the custom recovery... what would be the easiest way to update my su so it actually asks for permission. i dont want my phone to just give random programs permission.
[Droid Incredible Android Development] Frogybloop:
Step 2 just means to turn n USB debugging and to shell into your phone with adb and access su. While doing this you'll see the message pop up on the phone asking for su privileges. Make sure to check for it to remember your choice and you are good to go. I think its just to make sure that when the unrEVOked program runs code on your phone is has the proper access. The commands are as follows

adb shell

su
[Droid Incredible Android Development] bilbobrian:
after getting the new recovery installed will it be alright to install HTC sync again or is it going to continue to interfere with communicating to the phone?

Thanks for all your hard work guys....:)
[Droid Incredible Android Development] jdmba:
Clarifying?

So the proper steps for people who rooted using final payload are:

1) Update to the new USB drivers

2) Uninstall HTC Sync

3) With the phone plugged in to the USB (which runs debugging mode; at least on my phone), go to ADB SHELL, type SU, and if a box pops up, click OK and CHECKMARK

4) Run the utility

Correct?

Thanks
[Droid Incredible Android Development] DobbsianYeti:
Thanks Unrevoked team- job well done! New to the Android world, and can't wait to see what I can do with this little beast....:D
[Droid Incredible Android Development] jmdearras:
Worked like a champ!

No issues, watching nandroid backup my system, now!:)
[Droid Incredible Android Development] slorange:
error: " 'adb' is not recognized as an internal or external command, operable program or batch file"

su is installed and working for other apps.
[Droid Incredible Android Development] gummehbear:
Worked flawlessly on the first try, really a great job!

EDIT: removed my previous comment in order to prevent confusion.
[Droid Incredible Android Development] abibibo:
Awesome. Thanks unrEVOked!

Did take a few tries to get into clockwork (from linux). On first try I got the "something interrupting communication error". Second and third tries the reflash would finish and say "Done!" but the phone wouldn't reboot and when I'd manually reboot to recovery I had no recovery image. Realized the error probably had to do with adb not being in my path--I had been manually exporting adb to the temporary path just for the terminal session I was using to run "adb shell", but had not added it globally from .bashrc. Once I did this the tool preformed perfectly, so I assume this was my issue (an will hopefully help anyone else who has neglected adding adb into their global path).
[Droid Incredible Android Development] n0-0ne:
Are you sure your looking at internal phone storage and not phone memory? Mine is fine.
[Droid Incredible Android Development] jmdearras:
My incredible has 6.43GB free out of 6.60GB after nandroid, same as before if memory serves.
[Droid Incredible Android Development] gummehbear:
Your right my mistake read it wrong, sorry for the confusion.
[Droid Incredible Android Development] anubis_dragoon:
Success

Had to adb shell and su to get it to get past "settling', but success! Now to flash some senselessness into it =D
[Droid Incredible Android Development] Smabbage:
Needs a bit of additional documentation to explain some of the new features after flashing but as far as the flash was concerned, it lived up to it's name. "Painless" :)
[Droid Incredible Android Development] PeteyNice:
To get it so settle I had to change the USB Connection Type from Disk Drive to Charge Only. As soon as I did that it popped right up and rebooted. Doing a Nandroid backup now.

Very nice.

The hard work is very much appreciated! This is what makes Android great!
[Droid Incredible Android Development] jdmba:
Clarify Please

Desperately sorry for the repost, but my inquiry is fast falling behind all the "woot" responses.

For those who have succeeded on a Windows XP system who properly rooted and have SU on their phones, am I correct that the actual steps are:

1) Update to the new USB drivers

2) Uninstall HTC Sync

3) With the phone plugged in to the USB (which runs debugging mode; at least on my phone), go to ADB SHELL, type SU, and if a box pops up, click OK and CHECKMARK

4) Run the utility

Thanks
[Droid Incredible Android Development] piiman:
Never mind I took the plug. Now what? Seriously how about some documentation? I didn't even know the power button wasn't the select button any longer and thought I was stuck in the recovery screen.:-(

The install went flawlessly though :-)
[Droid Incredible Android Development] CaptainTaco:
Wow... just wow unrEVOked... Amazing programming skills... I'm a programmer and I am still blown away by the significance of what this application just did... I am specifically a fan of automating even the steps in hboot... absolutely... for lack of a better word... Incredible! ;)
[Droid Incredible Android Development] jmdearras:
I reversed 1 and 2 and did 3 first. But yes, sounds right.
[Droid Incredible Android Development] slorange:
Can anyone post specific commands to get to adb shell in Windows command prompt? Just typing 'adb shell' gets me an error.
[Droid Incredible Android Development] SimonTuffGuy:
Was receiving an error when I downloaded the Windows version onto my work laptop (Win 7 Pro 32bit)... Downloaded on my home PC (Win 7 Pro 64bit) and it extracted fine.

Already had the drivers installed from original root process... A double click of the program and plugging the phone into USB and it did it's thing. No issues or problems and it's in custom recovery now. :)

Thanks guys! You rock!
[Droid Incredible Android Development] rynosaur:
Yeah, no joke, that's a great example of what fastboot and adb can do when really put to work! :D
[Droid Incredible Android Development] skinswin:
Awesome!!!

First try success! No problems, no worries, no complaints just a big THANKS to UNREVOKED crew. This is incredible and it's just the beginning. Be patient flashers it will come.

If you root it; roms will come!!!!

Thanks again,

Jeff
[Droid Incredible Android Development] jmdearras:
are you rooted? adb is part of the andriod SDK you used to root the phone. Your command prompt needs to be in the \tools directory of the SDK

Jim
[Droid Incredible Android Development] fennellchrid:
And now ROM Manager from Koush works wonderfully for updating Clockwork! Thanks UnrEVOked!
[Droid Incredible Android Development] letum00:
With the phone off and plugged into USB hold the vol - and power button.

Choose recovery and press the optical button.

In your command prompt run adb shell again and you should be put right to #.

If you want to be able to do stuff like remove apps and enable wireless N, choose the partition manager and enable /system.

Backup with nanadroid before doing anything.
[Droid Incredible Android Development] kwaad:
Something went wrong. :(

When I click Recovery, it takes me to fastboot...

I no longer have any recovery. :(
[Droid Incredible Android Development] intersysx:
OK - I did a Nandroid backup - but not seeing the img files on the sd card. Any help?

Nevermind - found the clockworkmod folder.

Thanks
[Droid Incredible Android Development] tcberg2010:
Should be a folder on ur sd card called nandroid
[Droid Incredible Android Development] Shadowmite:
it's ok, this is safe enough in that you can try again till it works. just go back into the os and run it again. try to follow my steps from post 1.
[Droid Incredible Android Development] kwaad:
(x)th try ftw.

You un-jinxed me. :D Worked the next try.
[Droid Incredible Android Development] B-dub25:
thanks Unrevoked great job
[Droid Incredible Android Development] SimonTuffGuy:
Thanks for that bit of info! Didn't realize I had to mount the /system partition to allow changes. CityID and Footprints gone!
[Droid Incredible Android Development] jdmba:
How do you know

2 more questions:

1) How do you know that it is done and working? and

2) When I was rooting, I ran into a problem where it didn't seem to give the right results and I was scared to death to unhook my phone or reboot my computer. Is there anything here that is so perilous; or if I get bad results, I can just reboot the phone and try again?
[Droid Incredible Android Development] drieves1:
The program reboots to recovery
[Droid Incredible Android Development] kentoe:
So what can we not use within Rom manager? What features won't be used since we have a limited nand unlock only by recovery?

Also, how do we go about installing a Rom from unRevoked's Rom site? Can somebody do a step by step?
[Droid Incredible Android Development] DigitalDementia:
Is this process reversible?
[Droid Incredible Android Development] ravndark:
So first I'd like to say that I am completely new to android OS, though not new to computers, etc. I easily followed the instructions and got it done on the first try, so I appreciate all the hard work done by people to get this working and so easily too. The reason I am following this is because I want to get Sense UI off my phone. Not a very big fan of it. I was hoping to install 2.2 on it or even just 2.1 without Sense UI. Now that I have completed these steps is it possible to do this yet? Or is there still more that needs to be done? Also, in order to get to the menu that I saw after running this tool do I have to run the tool every time or is it possible to do it untethered? Sorry for being ignorant on the subject, but I hope to learn how to do this all very soon.

Thanks.
[Droid Incredible Android Development] sdorn77:
Used the mac version of the app and it worked great! I didn't have to do anything other than download the app and run it, connect my phone when prompted and that was it. The app took care of the rest. No drivers to deal with or anything! I had never connected the phone to my mac before at all. I used my windows computer at work to do the initial rooting of the phone.
[Droid Incredible Android Development] tats_06:
Are there ROMs already out? I didn't think they were yet... :eek: :D
[Droid Incredible Android Development] superivan_chris:
First time worked perfectly, thanks!

Sent using XDA App
[Droid Incredible Android Development] acidbath5546:
I havent seen any Tats :)
[Droid Incredible Android Development] Shadowmite:
Keep in mind this is NOT any relation to us, but it is up with a few roms:

http://unrevoked.sodpit.com/
[Droid Incredible Android Development] kentoe:
Ahh, my apologies >_< well my question still stands
[Droid Incredible Android Development] slorange:
I'm rooted. Just not having any luck with this. I'm in C:\sdk\tools, I try to run adb shell, it works, and then I try su and I get another error. This is the price I pay for root being easier for me than some others.
[Droid Incredible Android Development] Shadowmite:
copy to sdcard as update.zip, go into recovery, wipe everything and run the update.
[Droid Incredible Android Development] ncwildcat:
Thanks - works great! Used tool and ran nandroid backup all within 10 minutes (including backup)

On to test some roms out....bye bye sense
[Droid Incredible Android Development] touchpro247:
RT tehozzeh @Unrevoked will be releasing its first senseless rom for the #htcincredible tonight. Stay tuned for #unrEVOlved

Got it!

Thanks!
[Droid Incredible Android Development] kentoe:
Sweet, that's what I had a feeling it would be. Thanks!
[Droid Incredible Android Development] jmdearras:
Is the Incredible in "normal" booted mode? user menus, etc?
[Droid Incredible Android Development] seanhassars:
Everything worked perfectly for me without a hitch, thank you unrevoked team!

did you root when it was first discovered and didn't include the superuser.apk that might be part of the problem.
[Droid Incredible Android Development] ds28:
first of all, THANK YOU to the team for doing this.

Before this post gets buried, I'm curious too. Can/How do I undo this in case of a warranty issue, etc? Do I just flash one of the Incredible RUUs back to the device?
[Droid Incredible Android Development] ncwildcat:
Does anybody know if any of these releases will be on rommanager?
[Droid Incredible Android Development] D3fpo3t:
Having to uninstall programs to use something really shouldn't be necessary. Wouldn't ending the processes through task manager work?
[Droid Incredible Android Development] sdorn77:
Can you update to the latest version of Clockwork Recovery in Rom Manager after getting this installed?
[Droid Incredible Android Development] kentoe:
It's actually encouraged to do so
[Droid Incredible Android Development] wpbear:
This needs to be on the first post:

1) Uninstall HTC Sync

2) Update to the new USB drivers (see hboot driver.htm in download)

3) With the phone booted normal (not Hboot or recovery) and plugged in to the USB (with debugging mode on), go cmd prompt and sdk\tools folder then run ADB SHELL, type SU, on device a box pops up, click OK and CHECKMARK

4) Run the utility

5) Go to nandroid and do a backup

Oh and woot, it works great!
[Droid Incredible Android Development] autoprime:
worked perfectly on my mac... 10.6.3. as another mac user pointed out earlier.. no drivers to install or anything extra.. just mounted .dmg, ran recovery app.. done.
[Droid Incredible Android Development] wpbear:
I dont have a nandroid folder, but I have a folder sdcard/clockworkmod/backup/2010-06-24.02.09.05 is that correct or did I screw something up?
[Droid Incredible Android Development] tcberg2010:
No that's where it's at, sorry, got confused with my wifes eris for a sec, the location u said is where its at
[Droid Incredible Android Development] sdorn77:
That is right. The Clockwork Recovery uses this folder rather than the nandroid folder. The SP Recovery used a folder called nandroid, but we don't have SP recovery for the Incredible, just Clockwork Recovery.
[Droid Incredible Android Development] nfcrockett:
No, this is correct.
[Droid Incredible Android Development] B-dub25:
Ok can someone help me really quick I'm running Linux and I downloaded the flash for Linux and I get to adb shell then I do a su so I get that but when I run the reflash it says it needs to run with permissions am I doing something wrong I had a long day and I'm most likely over looking something
[Droid Incredible Android Development] wpbear:
Thanks All! Nandroid is awesome to backup the entire device. I remember WinMo and Sprite and it sucked. I love android!:)
[Droid Incredible Android Development] vacaloca:
adb kill-server

su (or) sudo -i

adb shell

good to go
[Droid Incredible Android Development] B-dub25:
So I do a kill server and then do su and the run the tool is that correct
[Droid Incredible Android Development] DigitalDementia:
Again I ask IS THIS REVERSIBLE?!
[Droid Incredible Android Development] skaterA223:
I have root and now through clockwork mod recovery img but I'm using a different SD card then the one I used to root and whn I type Su after advanced shell it says theirs no Su file or bin
[Droid Incredible Android Development] B-dub25:
what am i doing wrong

I did all that and when I run the tool it says it has to run with root permissions do I have to be I recovery shell to do this
[Droid Incredible Android Development] Shadowmite:
Yes, you would just get the stock recovery and put in a update.zip and sign with test keys...
[Droid Incredible Android Development] mahkee:
Thank you unrEVOked! You guys are the best, thanks for your dedication to the community!
[Droid Incredible Android Development] zeke1988:
when you said wipe everything, do you mean use both "wipe data/factory reset" and "wipe cache partition"?
[Droid Incredible Android Development] evilone1969:
simply amazing....... wow

FLAWLESSLY easy tyvm!!!!!!

just wow
[Droid Incredible Android Development] B-dub25:
I can't get this to flash lol I have no idea what I'm doing wrong ideas anyone please on my Windows it said pushing recovery for like 15 minutes and my Linux says this has to be ran as root
[Droid Incredible Android Development] wpbear:
Try :

With the phone booted normal (not Hboot or recovery) and plugged in to the USB (with debugging mode on), go cmd prompt and sdk\tools folder then run ADB SHELL, type SU, on device a box pops up, click OK and CHECKMARK
[Droid Incredible Android Development] SifonX:
Wow.

unrEVOked... You guys are freakin' epic. Thank you SO much. You rule!
[Droid Incredible Android Development] syrguy1969:
OK...total noobie question here...the recovery tool seemed to run fine, but how do I do nandroid? I can't figure out how I am supposed to run it. Thanks
[Droid Incredible Android Development] B-dub25:
I have it booted normal that's what gets me . I have it saying passing recovery in Windows but its been saying that's for a while now my. Linux just won't run it I have no idea why , how long did it take for your Windows to do it 15 minutes seems a little long
[Droid Incredible Android Development] PSUSkier:
Highlight nandroid, hit optical, highlight backup, hit optical. :)
[Droid Incredible Android Development] hoop762:
BIG THANKS guys!! reflasher runs like a champ! Looking forward to seeing what other magic unrevoked can come up with
[Droid Incredible Android Development] jdmba:
Ugh ... advice?

Question ... I saw some threads talking about updating Clockwork Mod to a later version ... any instructions on how to do that???
[Droid Incredible Android Development] TokarchukV:
Rom install Hangs at White HTC screen
[Droid Incredible Android Development] compnird:
Oh man that was easy. You guys are pure genius! Very much appreciated!
[Droid Incredible Android Development] ihyln:
well nevermind. somehow I got it working...
[Droid Incredible Android Development] syrguy1969:
Thanks, I'll try it out tonight!!
[Droid Incredible Android Development] rynosaur:
Push/flash the recovery in fastboot using

fastboot flash recovery XXXYYY.img

. Flashing recovery in recovery is dangerous.
[Droid Incredible Android Development] jdmba:
Ha

Ha ... I think I have pushed my luck far enough. I think I am going to leave my HBOOT 0.77 and the Clockwork which is part of unrEVOked2 ... as is :)

Thanks
[Droid Incredible Android Development] lordv8r:
Does Norton flag this file for anyone else?
[Droid Incredible Android Development] sdorn77:
Just download Rom Manager from the market. It will update your recovery for you and allow you to keep it updated going forward. When I clicked on the update recovery option in Rom Manger it did its thing but the version number didn't change so I am thinking it is already on the latest version for our phones, which would make sense.

Rom Manager also lets you make backups and restore backups without having to manually boot into recovery. It is a nice app that makes some of this stuff a lot easier. It is free with a premium version you can purchase once developers start releasing roms for our phones that you can also download and install through rom manager.
[Droid Incredible Android Development] larsrya8:
Updating the ClockworkMod Recovery? Install ROM Manager from the market, and have it flash the latest recovery. Worked fine for me.
[Droid Incredible Android Development] Starfire-1:
I just installed ROM Manager from the Marketplace and had it update to ClockworkMod Recovery 2.0.1.3.
[Droid Incredible Android Development] kentoe:
Currently the update in rom manager doesn't stick to the CWM, it will convert back to v2.0.1.0

edit: manually booting in to recovery causes v2.0.1.0, using rom mananger will go into v2.0.1.3
[Droid Incredible Android Development] larsrya8:
I just rebooted into recovery and it says "ClockworkMod Recovery v2.0.1.3" at the top and the bottom.
[Droid Incredible Android Development] sdorn77:
I rebooted my phone and rom manager still shows that I have 2.0.1.3. Are you saying that if I booted into recovery it would say 2.0.1.0?
[Droid Incredible Android Development] invisiblek:
from what ive noticed, if you reboot to recovery from rom manager, it appears to be the latest version that you had installed with rom manager (2.0.1.3 in my case)

but if you manually reboot into recovery, (from bootloader or adb reboot recovery) it shows the version that was installed with the reflash (2.0.1.0 in my case)

not sure why/how its doing this but my guess would be that rom manager is loading the .img which it actually cannot flash when the phone is booted up because nand is locked at that point
