full or not full, formatted to fat32 or fat? And does your drivers in windows say the phone is to storage drives after you get adb shell to work?

CAn you try this on a friends windows7 32bit and or ubuntu 10.3 or xpsp2 ?

Any help will be greatly appreciated .

Thank you

haha. You sound like you are in the same boat as me... Everyone seems to say the $10 PNY card from Best Buy works so I went and got one, didn't work. Everyone trying the Droid's 16GB card gets it to work so I bit my lip and ask to borrow my ex's for a few minutes... no go.

Folks who are successfull using the PNY 2GB card from Best Buy, Which method are you using? (Volume Down + Power or Main Menu + Power)

Also, does it matter at what point you start running the adb shell loop and plug in the usb cable? I've tried all suggested methods and not a single thing is working.
[Droid Incredible Android Development] socalracer:
Ive tried like 9 million ways before this. Has this failed for anyone? Im still doubtfull it will work. Im definately envious. Nice vid
[Droid Incredible Android Development] mejdam:
i wont have access to a winxp computer till tonight when i go to work. I'll try it on a windows xp computer and let you know.
[Droid Incredible Android Development] Impys:
Rooted mine on 32 bit winxp
[Droid Incredible Android Development] socalracer:
tried it, didnt work, tried about 5 reboots on 3 sd cards

im going to be the last person left on the planet to root
[Droid Incredible Android Development] contagous:
lol I can't get it working either, on Vista 32 with several different methods and sd cards...
[Droid Incredible Android Development] compnird:
You are not alone. I have used multiple computers. From Win2003 with Quad Xeon and 16gb RAM, Athlon 64X2 WinXP 64bit with 4GB RAM to P4 w/ht 1.6 ghz with 2 GB ram on WinXP 32bit.... 16gb DROID microSD or PNY 2GB from Best Buy (both confirmed cards). Not a single thing has given me even the glimmer of hope.
[Droid Incredible Android Development] immjg:
I have tried this using your methods but still a no go.

What do we think. is this a phone problem, sdcard problem or computer problem. I have used 4 different sdcards and I am Windows 7 64bit. Haven't tried a Win98 box. Anyone think that will make a difference?
[Droid Incredible Android Development] immjg:
I used your info for the su install and wifi teathering, but the recovery method didn't work. I had to use the insert the card method. Woohoo I got wifi teathering workin'.

Anyone got root explorer working? It installs but then I get a force close when trying to open it.
[Droid Incredible Android Development] ihtfp69:
The logcat should tell you why, but try this:

adb shell
$ su
# whoami

What do you get?

[Droid Incredible Android Development] th3drow:
i can't get past the part where you go into recovery and do adb shell :/ i stuck on loop and tried like ten times. I know ive got everything else setup right, its exactly how hes explaining. is this the part where i need a different sd card? ive got the scandisk that came with it and a kingston also. both failed, though i see people who say they got it to work with their stock scandisk.

it is what I would do. 2 gig PNY for $10 at walmart did the trick for me after 3 days and NO I don't work for walmart lol.

keep in mind I put the new 2 gig PNY card in with the usb unplugged, phone off and booted right into recovery, (optical and power buttons). Worked first try for me.
[Droid Incredible Android Development] blw1230:
Yep the PNY sd card does the trick. Since deleting City Ad wasn't in the video, what exactly do I need to get rid of it now?
[Droid Incredible Android Development] th3drow:
ok i got it past adb shell but i'm having trouble getting the

adb push payload-update.zip /sdcard/update.zip

to work on it, ive tried timing it like 20 times and no go

edit: lol i always post these right before i get them to work, keep trying guys!

Mac Instructions

I was wondering if someone could post instructions on how to do this on a mac please? Thanks in advance
[Droid Incredible Android Development] D8nkE:
Just got root this morning using 1st method in video, and my wife's stock 16 gig SD from her Droid. Even tested out the wifi tethering...very nice! Thank you!:D
[Droid Incredible Android Development] mejdam:
you are welcome, a big thanks to the XDA-Developer member that made all this possible. All i did was make a video of their work.
[Droid Incredible Android Development] rdriese:
Used my win xp Acer netbook, 2gb class 2 PNY sd card. Worked perfectly. Easiest root ever!
[Droid Incredible Android Development] rynosaur:
Yeah, those were great files and instructions, man, you should teach IT. Just make sure you slow your speech rate down or all your classes will only last 10minutes :D
[Droid Incredible Android Development] techferret:
Followed the video with my DI with 16gb Transcend Class 6 SDmicro and no hitches! Awesome, now I have root! :D

P.S. I have W7 Ultimate 32bit for anyone looking for deets like that ;)
[Droid Incredible Android Development] quagmire0:
Tip for those still trying: Don't spend hours upon hours working on it. In two days I got it to connect TWICE, and that was with trying every suggested 'tricks' I could find. Stick with the loop method in the video and give a few tries at a time and then stop. Thus far, in my case, the successes have been completely random and plugging away at it for 3 hours isn't going to help things.
[Droid Incredible Android Development] hexto:
Everything works and I get excited until I get to about 5min 18sec into it and it still says device not found in my command prompt. This is a really great video but for some reason my device is never found. Thank you anyway for the instructional video.

I'm not new to this either. I've gotten ADB to work on my HTC Vogue which wasn't even an Android phone to begin with and yet I can't get this phone rooted. I just don't know what I'm doing wrong.

BTW I'm using an 8GB Sandisk Class 2 and a no name 2GB that's probably a class 2
[Droid Incredible Android Development] rynosaur:
Try formatting one card half ext4 and half fat32 / long format / 1024 block allocation size, named "TEST", put PB31IMG.zip, then format the other all FAT32 / long / 1024 block / TEST / w/ PB31IMG.zip from RUU downgrade thread. One of those two is guaranteed to work, please PM me with which one works fine.

P.S. I was frustrated for 5 long days, until a 4gig/class 4 SDHC formatted like #2 did the trick.

P.P.S. 8gig cards do not have a very high hit ratio according to the anecdotal evidence I've seen (myself being one of them) and the Survey on this forum, but I bet the special formatting tricks will work for you.

Good luck!
[Droid Incredible Android Development] hexto:
Thanks. I will try this tonight when I'm home. I appreciate the quick response
[Droid Incredible Android Development] rynosaur:
You're welcome. I doubt the PB31IMG.zip is important to success, but we don't know. I put it there to downgrade from 79 HBOOT to 77 HBOOT. Downgrading WILL blank userdata, apps, and anything else not in storage, i.e., /emnc or /sdcard. Good luck! :)

P.S. You might also need to count from reboot vibrate into recovery, about 6-7 seconds, then insert your loaded SDcard just before white screen changes to black screen. This has helped others and given 8gb sdhc's propensity to check out quickly in recovery, I'd do if your first attempt doesn't succeed.
[Droid Incredible Android Development] jiggyman:
Worked for me. I initially tried this method using a Sandisk 8 GB micro SD card, and couldn't get adb shell to work. kept giving me the "device not found" error. I went to Walmart and got a 2 GB PNY card, and PRESTO! first time it worked! So now I'm enjoying WiFi Tether from my newly rooted incredible! MAD PROPS TO UNREVOKED and everyone else who worked on this!
[Droid Incredible Android Development] daftlush:
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.

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 /!\
[Droid Incredible Android Development] blw1230:
So I rooted Sunday. Today I unrooted to gain some stock apps I had previously deleted. Now when I try to run "1.bat", it tries to go through but I get "Failure to copy XXX to sd card: Permission denied" on every line. Any ideas or thoughts on what I can do? Like I said, I did root Sunday and I can get it back into adb recovery, just getting the "Failure to copy XXX to sd card: Permission denied" response. Thanks fellas.
[Droid Incredible Android Development] jess1313:
Worked on the first attempt! Thanks
[Droid Incredible Android Development] quagmire0:
After you get it to give the right error during the loop, you need to do the vol + power combination and bring up the screen that has the update.zip option. Run that option before running the 1.bat and let it fail, then run 1.bat. For some reason, that's how it works. :D
[Droid Incredible Android Development] jaxon2906:
i have tried for two hours on rooting with no success

:mad:Yo bruh i have been doin ur method for that past two hours and can not get anything to update when i run the loop.bat my phone jus doesnt go past that point it will not recognize the phone at all i even watched the part I & II on how ya did it (nice tv good for gaming lol) but what else can do? u mentioned downgrading how will that help cirnek35 at google mail...help please :cool::D

[Droid Incredible Android Development] mejdam:
i've had two phones that wouldnt go into adb recovery until i downgraded. So yes i would downgrade if i were you.......... keep in mind you will lose the content on your phone
[Droid Incredible Android Development] Hanneman101101:
So what you are saying is that I should downgrade then try to root? I makes sense. I will try that next. I have followed your vid to the T and even tried to do some of the card tricks and I still can't get it to work:mad::mad:
[Droid Incredible Android Development] bblanski:
Worker perfect. Thanks
[Droid Incredible Android Development] zipzoomeroo:
didn't work. No idea why. Did the adb shell command and it just kept doing it for minutes without anything happening. Oh well.

This isn't meant to be a shot at anyone's hard work, but coming from jailbreaking my old iPhone multiple times will there ever be a process for root that's as easy as redsn0w or anything like that? Plug the phone in, open an application, hit one button, wait a few minutes and it's rooted?

Again, that's not a shot, just a question. I'm new to Android so I'm just trying to figure out what to expect. Should I just be patient and wait for an easier method or is this as easy as it gets?

Thanks.
[Droid Incredible Android Development] kwaad:
I would like to say, that this method worked PERFECTLY with the 10$ 2gb PNY card, from WalMart, Formatted with FAT32 @ 512bytes. First Try.

I would like to point out, I spent over 4 hours trying with a mix of nearly 5 other cards.
[Droid Incredible Android Development] Zadok0552:
Same here. iPhone jailbreak veteran. DI noob. Same question.
[Droid Incredible Android Development] PDAnuby:
Wait for this is hell on you and your phone, taking the battery in and out, pushing the card in and out, rebooting and downgrading blah blah blah, just to get it rooted is asking for trouble and something breaking on your phone. Only good thing about root is the tethering which I was able to get after i downgraded my phone but then ran the OTA and root is gone. Byt the way took me 4 days at work trying to get this and did not last. I say forget about it!
[Droid Incredible Android Development] zipzoomeroo:
I was hoping to get stock 2.1 (or 2.2 now) as the reason for my trying to get root. I'd like wifi tether, too, but it's not that big of a deal.

Anyway, I don't mean to cause a fuss, just an Android n00b.
[Droid Incredible Android Development] hexto:
Plenty of people here willing to help. I had some issues myself and I'm not a noob. Been using Android since the 1.0 SDK was released on a WinMo phone. That was before the G1 so I've seen my fare share of issues.

I can tell you guys that by overcoming whatever issue you are having you will actually learn a lot. I too had to downgrade to get mine working but since I knew that the Recovery Reflash tool was coming soon I never installed the OTA update. You only have to establish ADB while in recovery once then you can install SuperUser and WiFi tether and never have to do that ever again. Now you just use Recovery Reflash which enables ADB for you.

ROMs should be available soon and you'll be able to flash the phone and never see the OTA reminder again (if you downgraded). Besides that only comes up like twice a day or after reboots.
[Droid Incredible Android Development] zipzoomeroo:
I'm leaving for an education conference for almost a week tomorrow, so I'll try again when I get back. I don't want to downgrade at this point, only because I don't think I'll have time to reload and reconfigure everything before we leave.

Thanks for the vote of confidence.
[Droid Incredible Android Development] D8nkE:
mejdam, any chance of a reflash recovery video?

EDIT: Scratch that. Recovery was "painless"!

Teaser page for faster root method? :D

Going to buy the pyn 2 gb card today! Hopefully that one works because the other 8 gb sandisk and 1 gb card I have didn't :(

I rooted with an 8gb sandisk card but only after I downgraded. Took one try after downgrading.

i try everything to update my qtek since the software is very old ( windows mobile 5 2005)

After a lot of hours searching in this forum, i download a lot of software from all the posible tutorials.

With the kitchen in the last part i always get an error of the extended rom.

With the update, it only appear the nk file.

I try to download one of the radio files, but without sucess and i donw know what to choose

I dont know what to do more, since i use the romupgradeut, but now the qtek only start in the first image where tells the version of rom and hang up, freeze, dont do the all restar.

The only thing that work it is the soft and hard reset. With the bootloader appears usb when connected and serial disconected.

Can you guys help me find a full package including the last windows mobile, the last radio definitions, the extended rom and all i need to upgrade my qtek.

I really dont know what to do more, even the qtek logo image not appear any more.

Sorry for all this questions, but i see in this forum you are my only hope.

Please help me.

what are the error message ?

I currently have a qtek9000, and i made my first upgrade late 2006.

I was using XP sp2, activesync, and a software called uniextROM...

Later, I have tried using vista and win7, both requiered installation of USB Mobile Modem Driver and disabling activesync or mobilesync.

so be more precise when you post you issue.

Hi Guys,

How can i read the errors? Where can i find it?

Sorry for all the noob questions.

All i can see in the universal is a dead phone without any kind of signal when turned on
[JASJAR, XDA Exec, MDA Pro General] Simon_WM:
Can you get into the bootloader?

Power + light + Softrest button ?

then connect to your pc and flash :eek:
[JASJAR, XDA Exec, MDA Pro General] cybervtec:
Hello Simon,

Yes, i can get in the bootloader. When i connect appears usb.

The problem is i dont know what files i should load.

Can you give me the links to the files i should use. Sorry for the trouble.

Now that a few people have put froyo on there desire, is there an option to install apps on the sd or do you still apps2sd?

thanks
[Desire General] MasDroid:
Froyo doesn't like ext partitions so do not install Apps2SD. You will need to format your SD card as FAT32. Just follow the guide for whichever custom Froyo ROM you want to flash and the setup should be explained in more detail.

There will be option to install Apps2SD in Menu > Settings > Applications. Select the app and there should be an available option below to install the app to the sd card.
[Desire General] viper_campbell:
OR use titanium backup... start the app, select backup/restore, long press on the app you want to move and then select move to SD card... and done!!! Thats how I have been doing it with no problems.

And the app doesn't have to be enabled by the Dev to move to SD card this way!!

Thank you both for the replies.

So which out of the 2 ways would be best to go to froyo from 2.1 using a2sd without looseing any apps?

I presume I can format the SD card after I have moved them to the SD?

Final question, how would I install a new app to the SD if I get it from the market?
[Desire General] cez10:
are there any froyo roms that have no any problems etc?
[Desire General] viper_campbell:
Well if you do a backup of your programs via titanium back, the restore them when on froyo, and then transfer to SD using titanium it will all work fine... that's how I did it with no issues... ended up donating to the app ad its awesome!!!

[EVO 4G General] myn:
I noticed that upon the vibration being triggered on really short spurts (for example when typing) that occasionally a clicking noise is generated. This isn't from the speaker, it's definately a mechanical noise.

For reference, My EVO is less then 24 hours old.

Anyone else experience this?

Thanks
[EVO 4G General] danknee:
I haven't heard any clicking and I've had mine for a week. I just tested it with typing and I don't hear any mechanical noise. Perhaps yours is defective?

The vibration on this phone is 100% more refined than the Hero's (in my opinion, lol). I turned off haptic feedback everywhere on my Hero because it was obnoxious and obtrusive. The haptic on the Evo seems smooth and intuitive. I prefer to use it on anything with the option.
[EVO 4G General] mrono:
I had it on a replacement vogue I got, it went away after awhile.

Take it into sprint and see if you can replace it.
[EVO 4G General] prestonr83:
My Nexus One use to do that. Did it from day one I had it since release date and still works fine.
[EVO 4G General] SoFLO.:
I happened to notice this today myself but the noise eventually went away. I hope it doesn't become a big issue.
[EVO 4G General] 06ms6:
Yeah, I don't think it's necessarily a defect. Just when it gets triggered for such a short time-span that sometimes happens. Not that first phone I've noticed it on.
[EVO 4G General] myn:
Does it still make the annoying clicking noise?
[EVO 4G General] cbaty08:
I was watching a podcast of the 404(cnet) and one of the hosts had something go wrong with his vibration on his evo....??

He said it will still vibrate like when calls came in, but for like the haptic feedback it didn't work.(yes he menitoned he had checked all the settings that were relative)

Dunno if this means anything to you but it could be more than a fluke problem. You never know...
[EVO 4G General] evcz:
I'm having this exact same problem on a nexus one...
[EVO 4G General] danknee:
After about two and a half weeks of ownership I started getting the click. It happens when the vibration is very short, maybe less than 1 second.

It isn't really obnoxious to me, but it is enough of a click that I notice it now.
[EVO 4G General] beesneazy:
Haven't noticed this ... yet ...

[EVO 4G General] michaelvibe:

[EVO 4G General] Schulz3:
Mine does the same thing. Clicks every other input. At the home screen I can press the back button over and over and every other time is clicks.. doesn't sound healthy. Its getting annoying when texting because every other letter feels differnt making some letters feel like there is no vibration....
[EVO 4G General] Schulz3:
THe more it does it, it's starting to feel like a rattle, like something is loose....
[EVO 4G General] icantdrawanime:
I used to have that w/ my first evo. Then i bought a second off the market and it didnt have the vibration problem. so i returned the first...
