You do have debugging turned on? and it should be only set to charge

(how about using the mac it is simpler)
[Droid Incredible Android Development] proryder2:
how do i turn debugging on with charge only? sorry i am a nooob
[Droid Incredible Android Development] t3abags:
setting > applications > USB Debugging - click empty box
[Droid Incredible Android Development] flyinitalian:
On your phone go into settings, then applications, then development. Click on usb debugging. Then when you plug in the usb from your computer a menu will pop up, click on charge only. that should do it.
[Droid Incredible Android Development] proryder2:
Wow I feel like such a tool thats all it was using nandroid now. Thanks For all of your help!!!! you guys are great
[Droid Incredible Android Development] Steel_Fajitas:
So, after endlessly trying to get root, It finally worked. I downloaded the reflash tool, but for some reason, when I open the tool, it says that I must run the program with Linux root privileges. I am a Linux noob, so any help would be appreciate it. Thanks!
[Droid Incredible Android Development] RLKirk:
When you rooted did you push su... if so it should ask you to give superuser permission to the reflash tool when you open it on your phone. in oreder for it to be able to finish the process
[Droid Incredible Android Development] Steel_Fajitas:
FML. I didn't do that. Looks like I'm back to step 1. It took me all of last night to finally get into the shell. damn, man. oh well. Thanks for the help.
[Droid Incredible Android Development] RLKirk:
either fallow the wiki, or download the program that was made for windows that does everything for you (what i did lol) after you get into adb shell and you should be good to go
[Droid Incredible Android Development] willy900wonka:
When adb's su got SU-permision to prompt for an ALLOW, I knew I was in.

Just ran unrevokedˆ2 went thought flawlessly @ ....13 Using wireless tether to post this. Nothing like a well honed automaton. lol.

Had to borrow a MacBook to do it, cause it don't work on antiques. lol

So thanks Unrevoked for the slick experience.
[Droid Incredible Android Development] Steel_Fajitas:
okay, I finally got adb into recovery. how do I push su? i did "export PATH=$PATH:/system/bin

then "cat /sdcard/Superuser.apk > /system/app/Superuser.apk" but i get this message

"cat: can't open '/sdcard/Superuser.apk' : No such file or directory"

any help
[Droid Incredible Android Development] dnoyeb:
are you using the latest payload off unrevoked's wiki

if so, just follow those directions, it'll get pushed on its own via the payload.
[Droid Incredible Android Development] Steel_Fajitas:
I did. The phone is rooted, wifi tether works as does root explorer and i can get into the adb shell with su access with no problem. but I can't use the unrevoked recovery. When I open it it says that I must grant the program Root privileges.
[Droid Incredible Android Development] bluetooth_decay:
Are you running the recovery tool on a Linux (or maybe Mac) PC? This sounds like you have to grant the program those privileges on the PC (not the phone), so it can access the USB device.

In other words,

$ sudo reflash

instead of just

$ reflash

(substitute the actual recovery tool command name for reflash; it's reflash on the Windows box I ran it on.)

HBOOT?

Don't know if any of the unrEVOked team read down this far, but while I have asked a multiple question in another thread, perhaps this one is ripe for just one ...

... can the custom recovery tool be updated to also flash the most recent HBOOT (to avoid having to re-root to update)?
[Droid Incredible Android Development] Shadowmite:
There is no reason to update the hboot to 0.79. It's not needed. Is there a specific reason you want this?
[Droid Incredible Android Development] sdorn77:
Is there a way to update drivers in windows without using the device manager? My work computer does not allow me to open up the device manager, but I can install new hardware just fine. The only places I can't get to are device manager and add/remove programs.
[Droid Incredible Android Development] jdmba:
Kind of

Shadowmite - I am glad to see you are monitoring. Allow me to thank you again for all the hard work of the team.

To answer your specific question, I believe someone on the rooting or this thread had recommended that you do it 'to remove any future variables'

However, please let me expand the question to a request ... if it is the same process as an update to the custom recovery program; would unrEVOked consider including it as well, on their next update? I ask because v2.0 was released simply to include a minor update in Clock, so if v3.0 is ever contemplated, could an updated HBOOT be included as well???
[Droid Incredible Android Development] Shadowmite:
You need to understand there is a possibility with any flash it could fail. While when recovery fails we get unlimited chances to fix it, a failed hboot is a instant brick. No second chance. There is zero reason to risk everyones phones for a update that is not important. If something is needed, we will include it. :)
[Droid Incredible Android Development] jdmba:
Okey Dokey

Fair enough ... just glad to have had the opportunity to ask!

I suspect that unrEVOked is still hard at work on NAND and possibly an easier root; and I applaud both. If Verizon is actually pushing out an over the air update which fixes the baseband etc (reboots? 1x signal), its gonna be a tough choice for those of us who are rooted ... because as attractive as those (potential) fixes might be, is it REALLY worth having if you have to go thru the Root v1.0 method again :)

Thanks
[Droid Incredible Android Development] rfarrah:
Me, too. Can't say "Thanks" enough for how much they are doing for us. :cool:
[Droid Incredible Android Development] madman34:
Just a thought

Just throwing this out there because I do not know what an update will change, but perhaps any update short of 2.2 will not change the recovery partition, meaning root again if disrupted is only a boot into recovery away ;-)Heck maybe even 2.2 will not mess with the recovery partition, I mean why should it need to unless specificlly targeting rooters ??
[Droid Incredible Android Development] intersysx:
Question: I have root and have installed the recovery reflash tool successfully.

My SD card got destroyed tonight and I need to get a new one. Will I have to go through rooting the phone again? I didn't get around to copying a backup to the computer.

Thanks
[Droid Incredible Android Development] yojoe600:
no you will still be rooted...
[Droid Incredible Android Development] jeaton313:
reflash tool

I have root been trying to get reflash to work i get past the reboot sequence and it reboots then it says waiting for superuser priviliges and then it unexpectly says communication was interupted what am i doing wrong. please somebody help me i would like to get the recovery clockwork running.
[Droid Incredible Android Development] jeaton313:
Now i get past waiting on superuser privileges . and cant get past waiting on system to settle. What am i doing wrong. And what do you do with the files that come with the reflash tool ?
[Droid Incredible Android Development] dnoyeb:
Did you check out the first post and make sure all this is correct?
[Droid Incredible Android Development] jeaton313:
Would another sd card work. What do i do with the files that came with the reflash.
[Droid Incredible Android Development] mtxpert:
On Ubuntu 10 ran this and it worked flawlessly with no issues.

Making a backup now.

I'll wait for a ROM with Froyo and sensui, OC kernel and wireless N to make any more changes.
[Droid Incredible Android Development] opimpao:
Done and Done!!

Awesome that worked slicker than ever on my inc!!! You you guys rock expect a donation from me!!
[Droid Incredible Android Development] madman34:
Me too

All of mine worked as well and I am going to wait for froyo port for us, not really have any N access points to use so thats no big deal. I do want to be able to use hulu.
[Droid Incredible Android Development] greno1:
I have root, Wifi Tethering working, and recovery reflash installed.

Engadget has a post about a new OTA with tethering (probably with $30/month add on) coming for the Incredible. Any suggestions on what to do with the OTA? Do I even have a choice?

I'm wondering if after the OTA, will I still have root and reflashed recovery, and will my existing wifi tethering still work?
[Droid Incredible Android Development] jaxon2906:
upgraded sdcard to 32gb

i got a new sd card does this mean i have to re root since i cant remove any apps tells permission denied any thoughts on this one ty
[Droid Incredible Android Development] yojoe600:
dont acept the OTA or you will lose root... somone will take the ota and make it a rom so we can load it on ours and keep root
[Droid Incredible Android Development] greno1:
Ok great thanks!
[Droid Incredible Android Development] syrguy1969:
As long as you copy the android.tether folder from the card you rooted with to the card you want to use you should be fine (assuming you did the tether bit while rooting).

If the OTA is made into a ROM that will mean we will have to wipe the device upon reflash instead of the OTA installing over the current setup right? Not that it would be a bad thing mind you, just making sure I (and others I am assuming) will know the difference between an OTA and a version of it that will be 'root-safe'.

Thanks
[Droid Incredible Android Development] ghostrida:
theres no reason you would need to wipe if its just a rooted updated.zip
[Droid Incredible Android Development] jimmydee1:
I have a problem and I have tried things here.

1. first couldn't get past pushing recovery stuck so I did the adb shell, and then SU. This did the thing and unit went into its drill, but then it states waiing for reboot which it does automatically and phone does its reboot and comes up but tool says waiting on reboot. What am I doing wrong? I try several times same reaction please help.
[Droid Incredible Android Development] x1208x:
Rooted HTC Incredible

Ran reflasher app

plugged in phone

selected USB Debugging mode on my phone

Reflasher app says "pushing recovery" but has been stuck like this for a while. Don't know if I should unplug or not.

ALSO

I don't think the app ever asked for SU permissions. I doubled checked the SU app and I don't see it in there.

EDIT!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

After retrying 4 times it worked successfully!
[Droid Incredible Android Development] wethead4:
So I have rooted my incredible using the "root in 10 min" video. Can I go ahead and use the recovery reflash tool or do I still need to do something else?
[Droid Incredible Android Development] ksizzle9:
yes you can. Make sure you have anything that runs through your usb to computer that might interfere with the tool. i even had to uninstall easytether to get mine to work. also things like pdanet, htc sync, u get the point. Make sure to choose charge only as well! Good Luck!
[Droid Incredible Android Development] greno1:
I would also recommend unplugging other usb devices. I ran into problems until I unplugged a usb modem.
[Droid Incredible Android Development] TrailBlazer31:
This whole process went flawless for me, and I am new to the whole Android scene. Thanks for all the hard work and countless hours, I really appreciate it! Keep up the good work
[Droid Incredible Android Development] travazz:
Now I'm trying to follow the recovery steps and I'm having the following errors. Can anyone please help?

When I try to install the modified USB drivers I receive the following errors:

Error 0x80004005: Unspecified error on these specific dll files.

WdfCoInstaller01007.dll

WUDFUpdate_01007.dll

WUDFUpdate_01007.dll

When I go to install the reflash-bundle, everything installs, but it fails installing the reflash.exe saying that the file is corrupt.

I'm using Windows 7 Ultimate x64, if that helps out
[Droid Incredible Android Development] rpearl:
Sounds like a botched download, download it again.
[Droid Incredible Android Development] ogre150:
If I downgrade using PB31IMG.zip or whatever will I lose the clockworkmod too?
[Droid Incredible Android Development] jgrimberg1979:
Is anyboday still working on a NAND unlock like the 4g has had for a while? If just seems that everyone has stopped with this recovery(which dont get me wrong i am very greatful) I would just like full r/w access without having to boot into recovery. In my mind this seems to be a partialy jailbreak.
[Droid Incredible Android Development] Shadowmite:
reflash has been updated to 2.1. Now allows you to pick a custom recovery to flash via the menu bar.

full nand unlock is still in the works don't worry. But it's dangerous. If we were careless in testing hboot flashes to accomplish that we would be making lots of bricks and upsetting verizon/htc. We want them to realize we are not the enemy. Furthermore, I hope you understand the other devices only have this because of employees leaking inside materials. I'm sure people pay quite dearly for those leaks with their jobs. This is not the right way to do things.
[Droid Incredible Android Development] Dr_Freeman:
oooh custom recoveries, what ones are safe to use? or just CM at this point?
[Droid Incredible Android Development] jgrimberg1979:
Gotcha, I appreciate the feedback and thanks for all of the hard work!!
[Droid Incredible Android Development] unreal2k:
thank you very much for the update. Just to clarify something before i do something stupid, if i have already done the reflash v1.0 and go ahead and run v2.1 nothing will break or cause issues correct? Thanks for all your help.
[Droid Incredible Android Development] cray1000:
NICE! update worked great! i went from 2.0 to 2.0.1 with no issues.

i now have the latest CM recovery! anyone know the change log for CM recovery? cant find it.

also are there any recoveries that will work with the incredible or have none been ported yet since this just came out 2 hours ago ? :)

unrevoked rocks!
[Droid Incredible Android Development] GMK83:
It's perfectly safe to use v2.1 after using any of the previous versions. You'll end up getting a newer version of the recovery.
[Droid Incredible Android Development] unreal2k:
Great, thanks for the reply and all the hard work.
[Droid Incredible Android Development] thesalg:
sorry to be a noob, but can someone tell me what a custom recovery image is for or what it does? Thanks
[Droid Incredible Android Development] jdmba:
New clockwork

So Clockwork is now updated again to .24; anyone try using the new functionality of unrEVOked v2.1 to flash the update clockwork? If so, what steps and how did it go???
[Droid Incredible Android Development] JustinD2473:
I tried, but the unrEVOked application only looks for a .img file to flash and there is no such file in the updated recovery from Koush...is there a filename i am supposed to change to .img ? the .zip perhaps ?
[Droid Incredible Android Development] rpearl:
No. You need a .img. Read the wiki.
[Droid Incredible Android Development] bcgaynor82:
Anyone having issues?

I successfully installed Reflash2 back when it was released, but tonight when I tried to install the latest minor update (which allows custom recovery imgs), I keep getting failures.

The tool seems to get through the entire process, but eventually says the installation failed and asks whether I've authorized. I'm not sure what this means.

Can anyone help?

I'm running Mac OS X 10.6.4, and my DInc is running CM Recovery 2.0.1.3 (the version last released). Not sure if certain customizations (e.g. bootanimations, etc) can have any effect here.

Anyway... a big thanks to Unrevoked for getting me even this far. If anyone has anything I should try, let me know!

Thanks!
[Droid Incredible Android Development] SoFarGone:

ClockworkMod 2.0.2.4 .img file:

http://koush.tandtgaming.com/recoveries/recovery-clockwork-2.0.2.4-inc.img
[Droid Incredible Android Development] JustinD2473:
the file located at the link provided is not a .img file.

I don't think i'm a tard, i've gotten everything else to work just fine on this phone. What am i missing here ?

Edit....Also, flashing this with ROM manager does no good I thought...I thought I will not stick after a reboot if you do it that way.
[Droid Incredible Android Development] jermaine151:
Disregard. You can flash that one with Rom manager, but it doesn't stick after a reboot and the only way to get into the new one would be via Rom manager. Here's the .img file:

http://koush.tandtgaming.com/recoveries/recovery-clockwork-2.0.2.4-inc.img

excellent. So I can flash this with the unrEVOked flash tool and it will stick right ? .. i'm gonna try it now
[Droid Incredible Android Development] JustinD2473:
Done. Worked perfectly with that .img file

I am now at 2.0.2.4

Reinstalled Recovery 2.1

when I boot in to recovery I can't find Custom recovery or how to flash image

I have clockmod recovery 2021

How do I flash it to 2024 - I've downloaded the img to the sd card
[Droid Incredible Android Development] JustinD2473:
you dont put it on your sdcard.

when you open the unrevoked app on your pc, you go to FILE to CUSTOM RECOVERY...select the .img file and then plug in your phone
[Droid Incredible Android Development] thesalg:
you guys are awesome, completely overlooked....
[Droid Incredible Android Development] Hairston:
Thanks for this. Worked perfectly. You guys are rockstars.

Is there any easy way for us to make a .img from a .zip so we don't have to bug you guys? I'm assuming you have to have Linux, make a ramdisk, push the files then do a dd dump on it but I don't know the specifics.
[Droid Incredible Android Development] Refot_Sirk:
I don't think you have to. The .img came from http://koush.tandtgaming.com/recoveries/. I think all of the recoveries in .img form are there.
[Droid Incredible Android Development] Hairston:
Thanks for the link. I'll bookmark it.
[Droid Incredible Android Development] reagianicparable:
First off, thank you all for all your hard work.

I am having trouble getting this to flash the recovery mod.

I have installed the modified drivers. I run the reflash.exe and my phone asks for su permission, which I grant and mark to remember. The exe goes without error all the way to "Done", and the phone follows along with all the steps. However, when the phone reboots at the end into recovery, it is stock recovery.

I have tried this on Win7 HP and XP Pro. Both do the same thing. This leads me to believe something is not right on the phone. I do have root as far as I can tell, I can wireless tether and su in terminal just fine.

Any help is greatly appreciated.

Thanks.
[Droid Incredible Android Development] rpearl:
What version is hboot? Just curious.
[Droid Incredible Android Development] reagianicparable:
Hboot-0.77.000
[Droid Incredible Android Development] Shadowmite:
the unrevoked one click root/reflash is out. Nothing more to say. Due to the folks leaking bugs openly to HTC:

I'm betting both nand and root are plugged by 7/31. New users, take head, DO NOT UPGRADE EVER!
[Droid Incredible Android Development] reagianicparable:
This one did the same for me. Any ideas, good sir?

Edit: Thank you for all the hard work though!!
[Droid Incredible Android Development] bhazard451:
Awesome work guys on the new one click root. Much appreciated!!!
[Droid Incredible Android Development] youngproguru:
Freaking Awesome. This is outstanding work. My first root of an Incredible was painful, long, and forced me to pickup the magic 2Gb SD card. This new method is sweet. On behalf of all those who have not rooted yet, thank you.
[Droid Incredible Android Development] Raptor567:
Thanks guys. You are awesome. This worked flawlessly for me. The community deeply appreciates all of you.

[Droid Incredible Android Development] baram:
Having an issue here. when it was flashing the custom recovery it hung up so i rebooted the phone. now it gets to "waiting for device to reboot" and just hangs there and doesn't progress to reflashing. any advice?

e: seems like i had to try running it a couple times. eventually it started working.

e2: how long did it take you guys for the "flashing recovery image" to run through fully?
[Droid Incredible Android Development] rckeystone:
I ran the program and have successfully loaded the clockwork recovery but the recovery flash tool keeps telling me "communications with phone unexpectedly interupted, try again".

If I reboot the phone I don't see super user in programs so am I rooted or not?

And mostly thanks Unrevoked team for all of this.
[Droid Incredible Android Development] Joe92T:
I had the same thing, its alright man... it said communication error or whatever... but it booted into the new clockwork just fine... then i rebooted my phone completely and then rebooted back into recovery and it was clockwork so it DID stick and the reflash tool did do its job

This does not ROOT your phone, it pushes the recovery, you still have to follow the root steps after mounting system in recovery to push su and superuser to your phone
[Droid Incredible Android Development] rckeystone:
Thanks Joe,

I misunderstood and thought this was "all in one".
[Droid Incredible Android Development] rckeystone:
Sorry Joe but another question.

This post by shadowmite seems to indicate that this is one click root and recovery http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=699088&page=116

Am I still misunderstanding this?

Thanks
[Droid Incredible Android Development] Joe92T:
For me, it pushed the recovery and locked it in place fine, however it did not root my rom, i still had to push superuser and su manually (which worked fine and now im rooted)

Its almost funny... before this i literally spent HOURS AND HOURS trying to root my phone with the SD card method.. i got SO frustrated with it... and then i download this application and click it open and in 30 seconds im rooted without even doing anything
[Droid Incredible Android Development] rckeystone:
I know I have the sdk installed on my pc from once before but I'm not real fluent on it. Is there a link you can point me to on how to push superuser and su manually? I'll do some searching but I'm not sure if I'll need to follow any of the older methods to do this or something different since we have this new recovery method.
[Droid Incredible Android Development] MidnighToker:
I am having a problem with the ClockWorkMod Recovery. I am not able to select ANYTHING from the menu. On all selections, when I press power I just get a blank screen. Press power again, and right back to the menu as if I didn't press power at all.
[Droid Incredible Android Development] Joe92T:
Go into the new clockwok recovery, and then go down to where it says partitions, then click mount system , mount sdcard , mount data... basically you want everything mounted..

im assuming you have gotten the su and superuser.apk in your tools directory on your PC that your going to be ADB'ing from... also have su and superuser.apk on your SD Card

do this

export PATH=$PATH:/system/bin

cd /system/app

cat /sdcard/Superuser.apk > Superuser.apk

cd /system/bin

cat /sdcard/su > su

ln -s /system/bin/su /system/xbin/su /* IF YOU GET AN ERROR HERE DO rm /system/xbin/su THEN REDO */

chmod 06755 su

then to top it off

/system/bin/rm /system/app/CityID.apk

reboot, done... rooted
[Droid Incredible Android Development] Joe92T:
Power is not the select button, pressing down the trackball is
[Droid Incredible Android Development] MidnighToker:
Just got that. Thanks.
