Ok, not knowing your situation, here are a few things I would do....

It sounds like your recovery partition may be corrupted... which for the second is OK.

1) Make Sure HTC Sync is uninstalled

2) Make sure HTC Driver Installed is uninstalled

3) Make sure the double twist helper service is killed

4) boot phone normally, and make sure that it can connect to the pc. Go into device manager and make sure that there are no hardware driver issues for your phone. Make sure you can run adb shell normally. The hboot driver is necessary for the reflash tool to do its thing while the phone is in recovery, but you still need the google drivers to be able to connect your phone while its booted normally.... so make sure the google drivers are installed.... you may want to reinstall them following the guide in my first post. Then go into recovery (I know its messed up), and plug your phone into the pc.... if your pc recognizes your phone, update the driver in device manager with the hboot driver from unrevoked. Restart your phone so that it's booted normally. run reflash, and after it's invoked plug your phone in and cross your fingers. The good thing is that technically, you can recover your recovery partition because you can run reflash as many times as you want... the trick is getting recovery to play nice with your phone at this time.

cant get it to reconize device

i have downloaded everything and installed everything needed when i run the flash it says waiting for device never recognizes my phone. can some one tell me what is wrong?
[Droid Incredible Android Development] clambert11:
Have USB Debugging on?

Settings | Applications | Development USB Debugging
[Droid Incredible Android Development] fishick:
yes i have the debugging checked,,,,,,really starting to think I should give up
[Droid Incredible Android Development] clambert11:
Does it even recognize an unknown device in the device manager when you plug in the phone? Try a known good USB port if you haven't already.

You are also selecting charge only on the phone when plugging it in, right?
[Droid Incredible Android Development] fishick:
it recognizes on unknown device and it is on charge only.... i have read through instructions 3 times and downloaded everything a second time to make sure i did it right i cant figure it out everybody makes it sound easy but i just cant figure it out
[Droid Incredible Android Development] clambert11:
My last ditch effort...

Have you tried to manually update the driver of the unknown device? You may have seen THIS. Mine wasn't Android 1.0 though. I think it said ADB. Browse to the location of where you unpacked the drivers you downloaded to actually install the proper drivers.
[Droid Incredible Android Development] fishick:
mine looked just like the picture and i manually downloaded the drivers.............but thanks for all your help if you think of anything else let me know
[Droid Incredible Android Development] fishick:
thanks clambert11 you were right i had to manually install drivers for the adb file.................i am rooted now......thanks again!
[Droid Incredible Android Development] clambert11:
Cool. Have fun with it. :)

hey. great guide. i just have a question or two.

in this guide for running titanium backup it says to go batch and then run "backup all user apps"

in other guides i've read to go to batch and then run "backup all user apps + system data"

which one should i use or is there a time and place for both depending on the situation?
[Droid Incredible Android Development] dreamersipaq:
Well, someone may want to correct me, but i think there is a place for both. If you want to go back to the same rom you were on, where everything was perfect then all apps and settings would work better. If you're swtchng roms from cm6 to sky raider, i would think going from vanilla to sense and restoring all settings would cause issues, so I'd just reinstall the apps. I may be wrng though.
[Droid Incredible Android Development] clambert11:
I would like to know about this myself. It probably deserves it's own thread. I would think the apps would be ok. It just is going to choke on the Sense stuff, which it may just end up ignoring. I'm curious too.
[Droid Incredible Android Development] fishick:
adb shell

How come my computer does not find anything when I run adb shell. I feel like I have done everything by the book installed sdk ,drivers,flash,ect. phone is rooted but i can get into shell.............starting to drive me nuts!!!
[Droid Incredible Android Development] jasek78:
once you get to the command prompt if you cannot go directly to adb shell try typing this in first... cd \sdk\tools, when that goes you should then be able to type in adb shell and then you will see a "~#" that means your in, from here you can do what you need to, also make sure you are mounted, system sd card ect.

hope this helps you, if not let us know
[Droid Incredible Android Development] scumfromohio:
Hey guys im kind of new to this whole thing so please don't hate haha. I got an Incredible rooted with skyraider 2.0 rom. I rooted it on my girls computer. Then i got on my computer installed the android sdk the correct way. Now im trying to remove stock apps. I open my phone in recovery, partitions, mount system.. Then i type cd/ sdk/tools which works then i do adb shell and it says no device found... Ive also tried removing through titanium and my phone freezes and turns off then reboots and the apps are still there.. Im really just trying to do the twitter app, fm radio, quickoffice stuff like that... Any help would be greatly appreciated...

Thanks Mike
[Droid Incredible Android Development] clambert11:
Was the driver successfully installed? Go into the device manager and make sure everything looks correct.

If you type in adb devices it should find your phone. Also, you don't need to go into recovery. Just boot the phone normal, make sure USB debugging is on, and that your phone is set to charge only.

-- Craig
[Droid Incredible Android Development] dreamersipaq:
Actually, if you're removing from /system/app, you DO need to be in the recovery for it to be persistent.

Also, I heard that SkyRaider might have problems with USB... not sure why. I would say go to your girls PC and try ADB devices. If it works, the issue is how you installed adb. If it doesn't, the issue is your phone. I would start there.

some troubleshooting:

1) When running normally, does the phone show up when connected to pc?

2) Did you properly install the drivers before using ADB
[Droid Incredible Android Development] scumfromohio:
I checked in Devices and it said my drivers werent installed correctly so i updated manually and now it says everything is good but now i go in to cmd sype cd/sdk/tools which works then try adb shell it says device not found when i try adb devices a whole bunch of stuff comes up.. Now i didnt download the android sdk when i rooted on my girls computer, just the drivers and flash.. I dowloaded it after on my comp with the drivers. Would it be easy to unroot and start from scratch on just my computer.. Thanks alot guys.... O and yeah the phone shows up regularly on my comp...
[Droid Incredible Android Development] clambert11:
You didn't mention if you enabled USB debugging on the phone. Did you do that? Also, the phone is in charge only mode, right?
[Droid Incredible Android Development] scumfromohio:
yeah im sorry usb debuggin is enabled and it is on charge only..
[Droid Incredible Android Development] clambert11:
Guess I am not going to be of much help. Sorry. I am assuming you installed the proper drivers. Hopefully you will get it working. You definitely should not have to unroot and re-root though. It's just a PC and phone thing.
[Droid Incredible Android Development] syrguy1969:
OK guys....I have a bad feeling I am screwed here!! I tried loading a kernel and got stuck in a boot loop and in trying to restore from nandroid I am now stuck on the initial splash screen and recovery won't work (I have root and unrevoked forever). Am I bricked, and if so is there any way of getting back to S-on or should I just risk them finding it?

thanks
[Droid Incredible Android Development] clambert11:
Perhaps try doing a wipe data/cache and see what happens.
[Droid Incredible Android Development] syrguy1969:
I tried wiping all data, I think I am officially bricked. I can't get anything to work. I may hunt down the stock radio and see if that changes anything, but I believe I already did that. Calling CS soon!
[Droid Incredible Android Development] dreamersipaq:
If you can get into hboot, not recovery, if you have s-off use an official zip out of the RUU's to downgrade back to stock (so long as your radio isn't 1.xx).... then use unrevoked reflash to put CM Recovery back on. that should work.
[Droid Incredible Android Development] syrguy1969:
hboot is as far as I can go, so I can try that. Is there a link to these "RUU's"? I am not at all sure what that means and I may have tried that already, but if I can get a link I am willing to try anything at this point!!!

Thanks
[Droid Incredible Android Development] dreamersipaq:
Look around in the Development thread. You're looking for PBIMG31.zip or something like that. GO into your hboot and check the radio version. If you're at 1.xx, try loading the latest leak, or a 2.05.xx leak. I actually switched to an X, so I don't follow these threads that much anymore. Adrynaline's website also has these I believe. Take the PBGIMG31.zip (or whatever it's called) and put it on the root of you SD card. then once you go into HBOOT, it will automatically recognize it and if all the checks pass, ask you to press VOl + to install, Vol - to skip... that SHOULD fix your problem since it's an original HTC rom that has everything: kernel, radio, recovery, OS, etc... That will basically take you to stock except with S-OFF.... so then you can run Unrevoked Reflash to re-root and get CM Recovery.
[Droid Incredible Android Development] syrguy1969:
Thanks for the info, I am at 2.15 for the radio. I did go through Adrynaline's site, so I probably did try it, but it doesn't hurt to look again....thanks for the info.
[Droid Incredible Android Development] ilhe1s:
I followed the directions in #7 in OP to rename the CityID.apk to CityID.apk.bak

Once renamed to CityID.apk.bak how to I move it to the root of the SD?

I followed the command given and it got a cross link error.

can't get to adb

I'm going nuts here. Spent hours on this, reading, trying all the steps, if I had hair I'd pull it out.

I cannot get the computer and phone to communicate after running Android SDK, can't get it to read anything adb. I've loaded all the files, connect my phone and it doesn't come up with any driver detection, just reads the SD card like it always has as a popup. So I have been unable to get to a cmd prompt to do anything with the phone, it doesn't recognize it .

Here's my setup:

Win Vista x64

HTC Incredible

[ROM] SkyRaider 3.0RC2 Sense (Froyo)

[Recovery] ClockWorkMod 2.5.0.5

[Radio] 2.15.00.09.01 w/Guide

[Kernel] [2.6.32.15] [HAVS] [CFS] [OC] [UV] KiNgxKernel #2 @1.13Ghz

[Status] S-off w/ Unrevoked forever

[Battery] Seidio 3500mAh

Any insight would be appreciated. It seems like it should be the most basic f tasks yet I just cannot get it done. Thanks ahead for the help
[Droid Incredible Android Development] clambert11:
Try this real quick:

Attach the phone to the PC in Clockwork Recovery (not HBOOT).

Go into Windows Device Manager and make sure it's seeing the phone. If it's not in the device manager, you'll need to make sure the driver is installed properly. You should be ok since you seem to have rooted the phone but check it anyway to be safe.

If everything looks fine in the Windows Device Manager, open a command prompt and go to the location of the sdk tools. Type in adb devices

Does it see the device?
[Droid Incredible Android Development] yomonk1:
Drivers say that they're installed but C Prompt says adb is not an internal or extrenal command I can get to a C:\AndroidSDK> but no other commands are legit.
[Droid Incredible Android Development] clambert11:
So you can't go into C:\AndroidSDK\tools?
[Droid Incredible Android Development] yomonk1:
no. Man, this is so frustrating

Not a recognized command

reEDIT: WOW! Finally got it!!!! I had to go several branches into the tree to get to it. Man, that was torture. Thanks for your help
[Droid Incredible Android Development] clambert11:
If you don't have a tools directory, you probably didn't install all the SDK packages. Browse to C:\AndroidSDK and double click on the SDK Setup. Install all the packages. If you get an error about the proxy, go into Settings and check the box to force https.
[Droid Incredible Android Development] clambert11:
Depending on how much you use adb, you can add it as a default path to Windows. This will let you type the command without moving into the directory directly. Let me know if you are interested in doing that. If so, I need to know what version of Windows you use.
[Droid Incredible Android Development] yomonk1:
Yes I am interested. I am on WinVistax64 I am a very base user and learning everything on the fly so I'm not exactly sure what all I will be using this for but I do see code popping up in forums that would be useful to me and I want to be able to take advantage of that. On that note, when that code does pop up, I'm not exactly sure where it goes. Any thoughts on a good resource or primer for this? Thanks so much for your hep. Thats why these forums are so successful
[Droid Incredible Android Development] clambert11:
I am going to assume per of discussion that the path to your Android SDK tools is C:\AndroidSDK\tools. If this is not the correct path then use the correct one in the instructions. I'm really just cutting and pasting these from a search and tailoring them for you.

1. Click Start and choose Control Panel

2. In the Search box on the top right of the window type system path

3. Click “Edit the system environment variables”

4. The Advanced tab of the System Properties dialog box is shown. Click the Environment Variables button on the bottom right.

5. In the lower box titled “System Variables” scroll down to Path and click the Edit button.

6. Scroll to the end of the Variable Value and and ;C:\AndroidSDK\tools (don't forget the semicolon)

7. Click Ok

8. Click Ok again

9. Click Ok for a third time

10. Restart your system.

Now you should be able to access adb from anywhere on the command line. Keep in mind if you are going to start pushing files to the phone it's still probably easier to go to the tools directory to do that. It's not necessary but will be more simple for you.

As far as the code goes, I would need to know specifically what you are referencing. But suffice it to say, almost all communication with the phone is via command prompt using adb or shell.

Rooting my 2nd Inc - Issues

I got a replacement Inc and I tried using the unrevoked3 tool to root it this time.

I'm using a mac.

When the tool says done, the phone isn't in clockworkmod recovery. I do have superuser permissions in the app drawer though.

If I reboot the phone holding vol down and power, then try to go to recovery, the screen turns black with a white stripe on either side. Same thing happens if I reboot into recovery through rom manager.

What am I doing wrong? Why can I not get to the recovery?
[Droid Incredible Android Development] Whoareyou:

[Droid Incredible Android Development] tehloxely:
I've just downloaded all updates for the SDK, and this needs to be updated:

"The adb tool has moved to platform-tools/

If you don't see this directory in your SDK,

launch the SDK and AVD Manager (execute the android tool)

and install "Android SDK Platform-tools"

Please also update your PATH environment variable to

include the platform-tools/ directory, so you can

execute adb from any location."
[Droid Incredible Android Development] emkorial:
let me just say, this guide, so far, is close to completely worthless.

Nothing is where the guide says it is

ADB doesn't see my device.

I have no idea what to do with the recovery thing I downloaded, it does nothing that the guide says it should. It doesn't unzip anything, I just get a big white window on my laptop, no idea what to do next.

I ended upgetting root by runnig unrevoked3, but I have no idea what parts of the guide I needed to follow or not, the "uninstall apps" section is worthless, really this thing reads like it was writen by a hyperactive 13 year old who forgot to take thier Ritalin. Can soone write a READABLE guide on how to get root and unintall apps?

Update

emkorial,

2 things:

1) This was written in June of 2010, at which point in time, all of the information *was* relevant and correct. Calling it completely worthless over a year down the road is a little bit overly judgmental, isn't it?

2) I apologize to everyone. Guys, I've long moved on from an Incredible, and probably haven't updated this post in close to a year. That said, I'm sure that the information in this thread is pretty outdated now. If anyone want's to grab the info here and update it, keep it current, what be... please do! If you keep some of this though, please make sure to keep the original credits in the posts as well.

I honestly forgot I wrote this, until I got a PM from someone.....

Just shoot me a PM if you wanna do something with this thread... be it kill it or grow it
[Droid Incredible Android Development] jago25_98:
One thing that isn't clear in the guide is what a nandroid backup actually covers.

My nandroid restore isn't working. I thought nandroid covers everything.

But what if I'm accidently running a different ROM, kernel or CWM? Maybe those need to be the same as the backup? This needs to be in the OP

p.s. the OP is the #1 google link for nandroid restore so it would be great to help everyone by updating some info in the thread... or even just the second post which has been reserved
[Droid Incredible Android Development] clambert11:
The nandroid backup is an image of everything. It won't matter what ROM you had on it before it. Some things do occasionally get jacked up when you recover but clearing the data of the apps will usually fix the problem. You'll see this happen a lot with the Gmail app. It'll work but the syncing is messed up. Clearing the data of the app fixes the problem.

It's possible the backup didn't take, which on a rare occasion will happen. In that event you'll have to use an older backup or start fresh.

I was just wondering for those x10 mini users.

How's the camera? is there zoom? can you get a touch qwerty keyboard on the mini?

cuz i was planning to sell my x10 and get a mini/mini pro. I dont really like the slide out keyboard on the pro so i was just wondering if it was possible to get HTC keyboard on there.

thx!

Yes you can ad a qwerty keyboard and it works great, write X10 mini qwerty in you tube and you'll going to see what it give

[XPERIA X10 General] Darkbidule:
I think that nobody can choose instead of you. It depends the way you're gonna use it. My advice : if you can go in a shop and try X10 mini to make an opinion and if you always don't know which one choose, wait until the X10 mini pro is available, like that you could compare the 2 models.
[XPERIA X10 General] pulpoff:
Actually, if all you need is a better form factor, than wait for X8.

With all the pro's of mini, its size is lovely, but screen res is horrible.

X8 has 480x320 screen, and that is the minimum for Android experience, most programs would require that.

I have the HTC Desire and X10 mini and my previous one was HTC Hero.

I chose mini as Desire is simply too big and fragile, mini you can take anywhere with you.

My only wish is that it had a 480x320 screen res at least, size is perfect.

I live in Raleigh, NC area and have been having some strange 4G experience. It was VERY slow today. Slower then 3g. i was getting great upload times, but slow download times.
