Well -

I am a noob when it comes to the Incredible, but I was running a rooted Eris the past six months without issues...

I ran unrevoked, and I must say, this was so much easier to root my phone with!

Now here is where the problems lie. It seems like that apps that I have used root sucessfully in the past with (adfree, wifi teether, and root explorer) don't see to work that well.

When I run adfree, and grant it su permissions, it either errors out or reboots my phone. When I tried to use root explorer, and try to replace the file, it tells me there is no space available (even though there is plenty).

When I try to push it through ADB, as root (I did a SU), it says I don't have permissions.

and wifi teethering doesn't seem to work very smoothly, causes my phone to reboot.

Bottom line, it seems like I have "root" access, but I don't have root access to the system files.

I appreciate any help I can get, and if I am doing anything wrong, please let me know, or point me in the right direction.

Again --- GREAT Work on unrEVOked !!!!

Regards,

I can't speak for the tethering app, mine's never rebooted my phone.

Adfree just needs some 'persusasion' to work. I have seen the errors you mention.

It's been hashed over many times, a quick search found some directions here:

I've successfully avoided IRC for 16 years, but I've decided to give it a try. Freenode on the PC is easy enough, but how do you use Andchat? I put in ##IncredibleRoot -- got denied, ##incredibleroot -- got denied. Would using andchat require a password from Andchat to Freenode? Thanks for any help.

I have a query about this recovery tool... hopefully someone here can answer...

To my understanding this new tool will give us the latest from clockwork recovery. This being the case will it allow ROMs on the fly like you can currently do with the Moto, or will we have to boot to recovery and do it the long way like the old days?

Also.. from what i read this ONLY allows for the custom recovery? Still no full read write while running?

(I ask only because my reasons for ROOT in general are to THEME)

I have already themed the framework-res, and im currently working through Services.jar. With recovery being the only thing unlocked, Im goin to assume i will have to create a "pre-themed" ROM to reach my goal? :confused:
[Droid Incredible Android Development] mattwood2000:
Is there a way to read out the current recovery partition first before overwriting that partition? I'd be interested in make a complete image backup of my phone the way it is now before flashing the clockwork mod.

I'm wondering if it could be done by using the non-persistent recovery method we have now, but I'm not home to experiment. Which MTD partition is the stock recovery image on?
[Droid Incredible Android Development] andrew53517:
Re: Unrevoked team (coming soon): Recovery reflash tool

unrevoked issues after completion

Hello eveyone. I was just wondering if anyone else is have any issues with the unrevoked 3.1 rooting method. I have updated my radio and flashed my phone but it seem to have only partially rooted. I get all the way through the process until the part where it states that its installing the recover image after reboot.

My phone reboots but goes to the welcome screen. Unrevoked stays at the "install recovery do not touch your phone".

I have the mobile hotspot app but no busybox or Su. My phone is working fine but it just will not fully root. I even has the update Droid start up screen.

I have tried about 8 times to try to get this work. Both with my xp laptop and my Linux desktop.

Any suggestions? Has this happened to anyone else or Im I just that unlucky?
[Droid Incredible Android Development] rigman:
Sounds like you don't have usb debugging turned on. Menu> settings> applications> development.

[Droid Incredible Android Development] val1121:
Thank God. I thought I was the only one having that issue. I thought it was not having the USB debugging on as well. I checked that and it was definitely turned on.
[Droid Incredible Android Development] johndiblasi:
It was defently turned on. Could it be the radio that was installed messing up the flash program. I'm running radio 2.05.00.06.11 but the firmware is still 2.1 update -1.

I understand that the firmware will stay the same but my phone just will not root. Is there a zip file link somewhere that I can downgrade the radio back to the 1.x and then ill try to flash using the unrevoked ?
[Droid Incredible Android Development] elborak:
Yes there is, but it would be a waste of time. Changing the radio won't help this problem.
[Droid Incredible Android Development] johndiblasi:
Well I'm up for suggestions. It's almost like my phone doesn't want to be rooted.
[Droid Incredible Android Development] rigman:
Can you connect to the phone with adb just to test connectivity? Are you sure you don't have htc sync or the htc usb drivers installed? List each step you're taking and what response you're seeing on the screen.

i just got a replacement incredible since my last one had something wrong with the speaker. i've tried rooting it using unrevoked3 twice on two different computers now and it just won't take.

the phone boots into hboot, then reboots and runs really slow. but there is no superuser icon.

could it be the latest verizon update? i was thinking of flashing back with that P134.zip file and then trying to root again.

any ideas?

at the end of the unrEVOked one click program it says done, no errors; but when I try to boot into recovery, or use ROM manager to flash a rom, it shows the HTC incredible sceen, then a black bar goes across the screen (not always in the same place, but always horizontal) then goes to a black screen with small grey bars (vertical) on both sides, only like a millimeter wide... anyone know whats going on? I've tried to use ROM manager to flash a different recovery image, tried both clockwork and the RA alternative recovery image, same result :confused: I've been googleing me tail off and not even finding anyone who has had the same issue as I am

Nothing like that. One issue, the tool would not run correctly unless extracted to the SDK tools directory. That of which was fixed fast. The tool is going to be released for OSX, Linux, and windows at the same time so one issue may effect windows but not others and vice versa.

[Droid Incredible Android Development] heavensblade23:
It doesn't take that much time to cook a rom, and the sooner we have nand the sooner people will start working on it. If NAND is released tonight we might see a rom tomorrow. If NAND is released in a week we won't see any roms for a week either.

While I am somewhat disgusted by the people demanding fast release of the custom recovery release as they have been doing, I am amused by all the guinea pigs which will leap on it on release. I may only have to wait 2-3 days after release before 10,000 people report their problems :)

For those who keep lumping NAND in with this impending release, unless i have misread every posting by Shadowmite and others, THIS WONT HAVE NAND. This is just the custom recovery; NAND is still to come.

I really don't know why all you guys are rushing them and getting so antsy over this. Even when it is released, you won't be able to do anything right off the bat that you couldn't have done with the current root. There are obviously no inc ROMs out so you're still going to have to wait days or weeks to even get the benefit from this release. So settle down and don't get too excited right now unless you are a ROM developer or some guy who's planning to port froyo himself.

You SHOULD be able to get into adb shell without having to jump through hoops atleast if I understand this correctly. Ever since I got mine rooted I haven't been able to get back in to adb so this will help me.

[Droid Incredible Android Development] sdorn77:
My bluetooth stacks just fine. What is wrong with yours?
[Droid Incredible Android Development] jdmba:
Its a Bug

You can't control the Incredible through a push button of a bluetooth headset like you could on Android 1.5, 1.6, and every single version of Windows Mobile. These other versions and OS's can be set up so that when you push your bluetooth headset button, voice dialer (for example) would run and allow you to choose your dialing through the bluetooth headset. This is NOT available on Android 2.1/Incredible.

And just to avoid debates on this topic (if there is any way to avoid debates on this forum) here is the actual google known bug

http://code.google.com/p/android/issues/detail?id=1412

I hear rumor that those with FroYo do not have this problem; and I know people with 1.6 do not.
[Droid Incredible Android Development] adrynalyne:
Its easy to enable bt voice dialing in Android if you have the source, because I have done it for the Moto Droid. The thing is, it is crap. It works like poop. Prior versions of Android with BT voice dialing had it because the carrier or cell manufacturer added support via a DIFFERENT program.
