Thanks for the replies. I have read about the battery, that's on my list but the SD card and a case have to come first.

Binary, thanks. It looks like you have the exact setup that I was looking into.

[Droid Incredible General] Dr_Freeman:
somehow I think I corrupted my 2gb PNY class 2 card. I used ubuntu to format the card to ext4 file system, then used the vol- power button to get to recovery and bam! every time. THIS CARD DID NOT WORK BEFORE I DID THIS. now for some reason when I plug in this card to the ubuntu machine, it does NOT show up as a drive I can use, while the stock 2gb sandisk does. I tried multiple methods with this card, but this was my silver bullet. the stock sandisk card when used in a similar if not identical method did NOT work.

Anyways, finally rooted after hours of trying!
[Droid Incredible General] kjbuente:
Gorden Freeman, it is you....

I love that game!

back to topic...

I have a pqi that is corrupt as well, it does not get me adb in recovery all the time. But it does do it every now any then. I think it is about 60/40 in getting me in.
[Droid Incredible General] rynosaur:
Good one, I was about to try that until formatting my Transcend 4gb/class6 @ 1024k block size, FAT32 with the PB31IMG.zip as the ONLY file on the card stopped Bootloader, allowed me to downgrade HBOOT .77 > .79, then stopped recovery dead in its tracks.

To reiterate, for anyone struggling as I did with all kinds of loops, OSes (Windows 7 x64 and Ubuntu 10.04 and Linux Mint x64), scripts pull card push cable stand on my etc etc, Centon 8gb class6, 2X SanDisk 2gb, NOTHING worked until I did this:

**formatted sdhc card w/ FAT32 1024 block allocation size -- LONG method, named TEST

**copied fresh PB31IMG.zip from MejDam's ORIGINAL ez package to root (/) of formatted card

**power on to Bootloader, let sdcard check run while holding down Volume Power

**ok'd PB31IMG.zip update

**Rebooted holding Optical track button

**Power button to Recovery

**DECLINED PB31.zip

**(USB cable is connected this whole time)

**started .\loop.bat (available all over the place here) in Win7 x64 Powershell -- Administrator

**Power-button into Recovery

**Watch your error messages change, then proceed with the rest of rooting procedure, which is a lead pipe cinch if you follow most recent MejDam video with his commands/script

Again, my running theory (and others' theory), confirmed by the OP, is that the SDcard trips up recovery, allowing adb access. An abnormal/old card seems best. The Kingston 4gb/class4 that everyone else swore by did not work for me, but then again, my DI is <1 week old, had HBOOT .79, with a build of 5/14/2010.

Long story short: get a recommended spec card (1gb sd, 4gb sdhc, or 16gb class2 Moto or class6), format it normally, and if that doesn't work, try alternate formatting methods. I can say with almost 100% certainty that FAT16 does not work.

Anyone who needs help is welcome to reply or PM me. It was only through everyone here and MejDam that I was able to root, so thanks everybody! :D

ZIP File

Where can I find this? I've tried everything else.

I'm going to do what you did. I have a 4 GIG card I'm going to format and throw the ZIP on and try that way. So I should format as a 1 GB card even though it's 4 GIG, right?

[EVO 4G General] kenfly:
if someone could help me with this, it would be greatly appreciated.

ever since about 3 days into flashing freshes 0.1 ROM, I have been getting unexplained SD problems. for example,

1) I would open up the camera and I would get an error mesage saying " cannot write to SD card: no sufficient privileges.

2)when i open up my music app,(I have about 10 albums of music in my music folder on my SD Card), I get a force close, or just no music would show up at all.

3) when i use a file explorer like ASTRO, I would go into a folder that I know has files in it, yet it's showing me an empty folder, or when i try to delete a file i would just get an error message.

4) and finally, when I open up my gallery, it would either get a force close, or say SD card is unmounted, or just show no pictures at all.

I updated freshes 0.2 rom thinking it may have solved the problem. but it didn't

then flashed Damage's 3.0 Rom and still same problems.

Is this software related or just my SD card going bad,( its the stock 8GB card that came with it.

It never used to be like this. just started happening about 3 days ago

I posted this in Q&A but no answers. thought posting here would help out more.
[EVO 4G General] darthg0d:
The OTA update is supposed to fix this issue for good. If you don't want to do the OTA, then just try formatting the SD card while connected to your computer.
[EVO 4G General] halehouse:
I have been having the same exact issue with my EVO. I started on the fresh.1 then .2. I tried 2 other roms and still was having the same issue.

After a reboot it would work for a little bit then work off and on.

I downloaded the sd-formatting tool and did a full erase and format while connected to a windows box. Then reformatted again with the evo.

Same issue still.

I plan on ordering a new class 6 sd card from new egg tomorrow to see if it is just a batch of bad/faulty sd cards.
[EVO 4G General] Mecha2142:
If you haven't installed the OTA update, there really isn't much fault with the device itself, seeing as how it's already been fixed.
[EVO 4G General] halehouse:
I'm currently running:

RvU 1.3.2.

"This is based off of the latest leaked RUU that has the OTA update included (1.32.651.6)."

I thought the OTA update is built into most of the ROMs currently available or am I missing something.

If not how do you go about installing it. I have had the phone check for updates but it says that there are no update available.

Any help would be greatly appreciated. This is my first android devise so I'm a little new to this.
[EVO 4G General] drunknbass:
im running omj's 1.3 rom and i have the sdcard issue all the damn time its driving me nuts.. is the fix not in this rom or does it not matter ? it seems like any time i use a file system too to access the fs or use dropbox or anything the sdcard gets all fu**ed up and i need a reboot to fix it.
[EVO 4G General] kenfly:
let me know if this fixes things :)
[EVO 4G General] halehouse:
I just placed my order on newegg for a new class 6 sd card. So we will see in a couple days if this fixes it or if I'm just missing something.
[EVO 4G General] halehouse:
I swapped sd cards with a friends EVO and it words perfectly in mine. I have downloaded about 150MB of podcasts to the sd card without issue. Astro manager is now able to drill down and has no issues seeing sub folders.

I will post back if I have any other issues as well as when I get my new SD to confirm that it is still working without issue.
[EVO 4G General] jskrilla712:
I was having the same intermittent issue with the sd card, running the OMJ EVO 2.1 Eclair v1.3 ROM...swapped out the sd card with one from my old samsung jack and so far I have not had any issues...tried to duplicate the sd card errors just doing what i normally do but seems to be working fine now...:)
[EVO 4G General] kenfly:
so its just bad SD cards being shipped out with them?
[EVO 4G General] kenfly:
@halehouse what Gig is the SD card you ordered? Im looking for a 32gig class 6 microsd and cant find one ANYWHERE. except the scandisk website...if i wanted to pay 200 for it
[EVO 4G General] halehouse:
I just orders an 8Gig class 6 card.

A few days ago the second sd card that I had gotten from another EVO (that was about to be taken back to sprint) failed. Showing blank card, and several format attempts did nothing.

I dot my new class 6 sd card from new egg 2 days ago and it is working perfectly so far. Faster transfer rates also.

I think it may be an issue with the sd cards but I really not for sure.

so to answer your question..... yes.... it is.... but ask yourself why does it comfort you simply because i just told you so.....

[Droid Incredible Android Development] vVv mDaWg:
Hey guys, sorry if there's been any confusion.

This app will not make ADB start up in recovery. That's still something that we still have to achieve to get any of this to work.

Peronally I used the Kingston 4GB Class 4 card and it works pretty much almost every single time I just do a simple adb reboot.

This application was designed to make the rooting process a quick and painless command prompt-less process after you achieve adb running in recovery mode. I used this on my friend's Incredible and the rooting process took me literally 30 seconds to complete.
[Droid Incredible Android Development] jmdearras:
Does the red triangle with the exclaimation point mean it has failed, or do you wait further?

Thanks,

Jim
[Droid Incredible Android Development] touchpro247:
I used a SanDisk 2GB works everytime.

After your in recovery mode and have clicked the Step 3: button "Check for ADB In Recovery".

If you get the "sorry adb not running" message try this:

Unplug your usb cord from the device and remove your battery.

Replace your battery and hold down the volume- key and press the power button.

Highlight Recovery as soon as possible.

Plug the usb cord back in and press the power button at the same time.

Note: If you hear a noise when you plugged in the usb cord before you see the black Recovery screen you did it wrong.

Click the Step 3: button one to five times.

If it doesn't work try it again or try a different SD card.

[Droid Incredible Android Development] touchpro247:
Here you go:

http://developer.android.com/sdk/index.html
[Droid Incredible Android Development] vVv mDaWg:
If you get signature failed, repush the files from step 4 and then do step 5 over again. Make sure you click step 5 first, then when you're ready click the power button and ok on the dialog box that pops up at the same exact time. It's timed so that if you hit them at the same time, it should install root, make it stick, and install superuser.apk.

[Droid Incredible Android Development] castanza128:
step five?

I have ADB in recovery now thanks to a tip I read about erasing the card, and not inserting it into the phone with android running.

I inserted it at the bootloader screen, and popped it in and out while recovery was loading.

MY question is: after I push files (step 4) I hit step five (push payload-update.zip) and it tells me to hit ok and Apply update.zip at the same time???????

WTF DOES THAT MEAN?

what is this Apply Update.zip I'm supposed to click at the same time? how can I even click two things at the same time?!?!?

I am missing a button maybe?

Edit: volume up, then power......got it now. Had to get that from instructions for another method.
[Droid Incredible Android Development] rr12106:
Ihave had many problems with rooting the phone, but since I have done the method many times (with no avail), I know what they mean with the applying payload and update at the same time. U have to push payload on adb at least a half second after you apply update.z.ip on the recovery of the phone. Hope this helped you.
[Droid Incredible Android Development] rr12106:
Is this method easy? I tried just about every other method, but it didn't work. As long as it works with any sd card, then more than likely I can root the din with this method

It is hated because it's forced on us. You think black people hated slavery because it made life terrible? No. They hated it because they had no choice in the matter. Unrevoked is like our version of Abe Lincoln.

Its not accurate anyways. With things like google voice, you never know. Also it nags you to register and use it.

You can continue to use it for free to if you want.

If I remember correctly. Go to apps, and close City ID. Set your clock to manual and set the date past the expiration of the trial. Then go start City ID again. Reboot, then go back into City ID and look at your status, it says something like trial pending or something. Then in a few days it might start showing a days till expires thing again.
