[Droid Incredible Android Development] ViiOLENT.HD//:
Hello everyone Im sorry for being a brand new newb, but I have a couple questions about using this tool in 3.1 version to root the HTC Eris with 2.1 FW.

I came from the iPhone scene as a very popular Themer at MMi... So I have no clue about android, this is my first :)

So to use this am I correct in saying that I download the Incredible version and use that?

If anyone can post a simple step by step setup that would be awesome and I will be very happy :)

Sorry for being a noob but everyone has to start somewhere
[Droid Incredible Android Development] djkms:
Read the first post in this thread, instructions are there.
[Droid Incredible Android Development] grape ape:
I think you need Eris drivers but download the unrevoked tool, and run it. Its as easy as that my friend.
[Droid Incredible Android Development] SR3TLAW:
update

So im running Clockwork recovery 2.5.0.1. I used unrevoked when it first came out. Is their a reason I should update my recovery to the newest version?

Thanks

Please help

Please help, I think I bricked my Incredible and would appreciate any help or suggestions. I used unrevoked3 to root and flash the cynogenmod 6 nightly rom and then the google apps. Today i downloaded v3.1 of unrevoked to update my phone to a newer rom. I downloaded and installed the drivers but when I went to use unrevoked it would just reboot my phone and get stuck on the message "flashing recovery, do not touch phone" and never change, but my phone was just rebooted and working normal. So in the process of trouble shooting the problem I did a hard reset on the phone to see if it would help. But when I went to reboot it got stuck in a boot loop. So now, my phone wont turn all the way on and I cant get to the recovery screen using unrevoked to utilize my nand backup. any help would be very appreciated

I cant get unrEVOked to connect to my incredible. Ran through hboot and it installed correctly. plug my phone in and it conects to the pc and i select debugging. but im wondering what to select when it plugs in. I have been selecting disk drive. what am i missing?
[Droid Incredible Android Development] najaboy:
Do a battery pull to see if that helps the boot loop issue. As has been previously stated, you do not use this tool to flash ROMs.
[Droid Incredible Android Development] deviantirish:
Still a no go. I ran unrevoked as instructed. did the custom recovery image. and unrevoked still continues to wait for device. I have my incredible on usb debugging. My computer recognizes the device. Any help?

I have the new radio installed and trying to get the phone rooted to manually install FROYO.

My unrevooked recovery reflash tool is stuck at saying "Waiting for reboot...". My phone has fully rebooted, was this successful or was it suppose to do some more things?
[Droid Incredible Android Development] trombone dixie:
I've been stuck at "Flashing recovery image. Do not touch your phone!" in the recovery reflash tool for over 8 minutes now... is there something wrong?
[Droid Incredible Android Development] trombone dixie:
Uninstalled HTC Sync and was able to get past this part. Now recovery reflash tool is stuck at "Waiting for device..." and the image on my phone is the little Dinc with the red triangle and and exclamation point... is this bad?

Need help, stuck on flashing recovery.

Hey folks, new to this whole flashing thing..

FYI My phone is a desire!

I've done every step of the guide, but my phone gets stuck on Flashing the recovery and the phone just boots up as normal

Cant seem to get past it.

Any help would be appreciated

Cheers
[Droid Incredible Android Development] Fretless:
Does Unrevoked work for a desire? I thought it was for incredible and EVO. Maybe i need to read more x_x
[Droid Incredible Android Development] wj2511:
It's good ,thanks.
[Droid Incredible Android Development] ushneb:
Hi, I'm new here and I'm also new to modding my Android so please bare with me.

I have a DInc and I've been trying to put FroYo on it since last night but couldn't get past one sticking point. When I run UnRevoked3 it hangs at the part where it asks me to set the phone to USB debugging mode. I do that on the phone but I still nothing changes. I've tried rebooting my comp and my phone as well but the same thing happens.

Any ideas?

Thanks

Stuck: pushing recovery image

For people who are stuck on "pushing recovery image" while trying to root HTC Desire:

- Just uninstall HTC Sync

- Restart your PC

It worked for me.

Do I just rerun the unreEVOked recovery tool 3.1 to install the new ClockWork vesion?? I currently have s-off, 2.15 radio and S.R. 2.2 installed.
[Droid Incredible Android Development] Fahrenheit:
First post lists instructions:

New ClockWorkMod Recovery of v2.5.0.5 can be custom flashed with v3.0 and under. This is NOT needed if you use unrEVOked v3.1 as it is built it:

1) Download CWM Recovery image

2) DO NOT PLUG IN YOUR PHONE

3) Run unrEVOked v3.1

4) Under FILE choose CUSTOM RECOVERY

5) Point to the img file

6) Plug in your phone​
[Droid Incredible Android Development] thegeorgeman:
I kept getting the message "failed to flash recovery image" on my Evo running Froyo, then I saw a post on a forum that said it doesn’t work on Evo since the 2.2 upgrade... oh well
[Droid Incredible Android Development] greatest:
I 'unrevoked' my incredible just now.. Its a simple less than 5 mins proceedure.. Thanks a lot unrevoked team.. I really appreciate your efforts.. :)
[Droid Incredible Android Development] Texarc:
EVO 2.2 in the future?

Does the future hold the possibility that unrEVOked will function on EVOs that have been blessed/cursed with Froyo 2.2 ? Did they purposely design 2.2 so that it cannot be rooted?
[Droid Incredible Android Development] rpearl:
Of course they did. They did that for 2.1 as well :)

We're working on it.
[Droid Incredible Android Development] Texarc:
heh heh.....cool.....I'm liking this place more and more. There may be something wrong with my medication...:eek:
[Droid Incredible Android Development] DWhite456:
I picked up an Incredible that has Unrevoked 3 w/ Clockworkmod 2.5.0.1 on it. I would actually like to remove them and just use a stock rom. The hboot is .077 I believe. I looked through the revoked wiki and I did not see anything mentioned about removing it.

If anyone is willing to help me and let me know what I might need to do I would appreciate it.

Thanks

Can new official froyo 2.2 ota be rooted??

I don't mean to unnecessarily take up a lot of forum space but I'm not sure where to post this. I have received a lot of help and good advice from xda developer forums and greatly appreciate all their hard work. But, having said that, I just got new HTC Incredible (bricked old one), totally stock and today automatically installed the Froyo 2.2 ota upgrade from VZW. Since I already bricked one phone I am treading a little bit lightly right now. Can my new phone now be rooted and s-off applied? I know how to do it (unrevoked forever), just don't know if the update will cause this phone to brick if I try it. Thanks for the help.

Failed to flash recovery

Hey, I have tried unrevoked 2 & 3 , I installed the Hboot driver since im using win7, I unistalled htc sync, I enabled debugging as well as set the connection via usb to be charge only. Adb works when I try it. When I run 2 or 3 it goes through what looks like the full process according to a video i watched on youtube but once it goes to reboot it say waiting on reboot they kicks to failed to flash recovery, I am not new to this , i have rooted an N1, EVO, Droid, Droid x(which doesnt really count) but for the life of me I cant figure this one out. Anyone have any idea what I can try to get this bad boy rooted??

okay did a little searching and someone correct me if im wrong. I got my incredible last night and did the update. Is the reason I get the failed to flash revovery because i did the ota update?

Help Help Failed to flash recovery image

Without going over the million things i have tried, I'm using the OTA 2.2 Froyo Droid Inc. I have installed the usb driver, and run the unrevoked (not so painless) program and on windows7 I continue to get the failed to flash recovery image error, when using ubuntu I get a similar error. Is it even possible to root this phone with OTA 2.2?

Any help would be great, does anyone know of an alternate rooting process other than this CIA classified source unrevoked method, maybe something similar to the N1 / Droid1 etc.

Followed instructions, synch turned off, droid incredible, windows 7. installed driver and then tried to flash but get a message saying "failed to flash recovery image" What did I not do? Help plz:confused:
[Droid Incredible Android Development] leech2082:
guys we are not getting answers because we have 2.2 and didnt read the previous posts in this thread.. if you go a page back it says 2.2 is being worked on.... there is another thread that shows its possible with 2.2 {which is what we have} but again they had 2 reported problems with evo's.. they are working on it.... I am going to wait untill the say its good to go.. but thats me... if you want to take the chance look for the other thread titled... root without downgrading... again its at your own risk .. from what someone posted they have rooted 8 droids with the method and everything is fine.. but i am waiting for the unrevoke guys to tell me its ok... not being a jerk with this post just think we look like idiots because we didnt search through the thread first... when i say idiots i include myself because i posted the same " failed to flash" quetsion...

Did you guys use 3.21? I just did and it worked for me.

unrevoked.com/recovery/

I went from the 8/31 leaked Froyo, downgraded back to stock 2.1, loaded the OTA 2.2, installed the drivers and SDK, downloaded and ran the above tool. I did this all this morning.

Close any open unrevoked tools, and install the newest one.

Delete any install images you have on your SDCard. I had left the 2.1 downgrade image on there and it kept trying to install everytime unrevoked tried to reboot my device.
[Droid Incredible Android Development] xtreme3737:
I used 3.21 to root my new Incredible phone. I have Root and S-Off but I do not have the Clockwork Recovery. When I try and enter recovery all I get is a black screen. Anyone have any ideas about how to get a working copy of clockwork on the phone or maybe Amons?
[Droid Incredible Android Development] mxgoldman:
So I ran unrevoked3, and the hboot drivers are installed. HTC Sync is not installed. The phone has debugging on, and is in "charge only" mode. When I run unrevoked, it does its thing, and then it boots to the attached picture instead of clockworkrecovery.

EDIT: I can hit the optical trackpad and it will successfully restart into normal operation. I just can't see clockwork at all.
[Droid Incredible Android Development] xtreme3737:
Thats the same thing that happend to me. I installed Amons Recovery instead of clockwork as a work around. I have still not be sucessful with installing clockwork on mine. You can find all the info at http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=758874

I would really like to get clockwork installed and working so that I can use rom manager and also be able to use the up down buttons in case the track ball fails.
[Droid Incredible Android Development] mxgoldman:
So I got clockwork working! Flash unrevoked-forever, just to be sure of S-Off. Then flash this:

http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=788306

It's clockwork, but this guy made the trackpad more sensitive. Worked like a charm.
[Droid Incredible Android Development] jensenist:
Had a Droid first generation, just got my Incredible the other day. Came here to learn how to root.

I went to the unrevoked page and it says does not support stock 2.2 phones -- so is there another method I'm not seeing around here for new Incredibles to root, or I am misunderstanding that warning and Unrevoked will work?
[Droid Incredible Android Development] ozzman54:
Problem with s-off and adb

I've rooted with unrevoked 3.21 and everything went fine. My problem is with S-off. Hboot says S-off, but when I attempt to do anything in ADB, all I get are access permissions saying that the /system files are read-only. When I do an adb remount I'm getting an "operation not permitted" error. It's not a problem with the phone being found...the adb devices command shows that the phone is connected. Also, when doing adb shell, then typing su...i'm getting "permission denied".

Anyone else had this problem or know how to solve it?

Reason I'm asking is because I can't update the Superuser.apk from the market after rooting. I'm trying to fix it by following the instructions which require me to go into ADB.

Figured out the problem was I need to have the phone unlocked to accept Super User access when typing the adb shell, su command.
[Droid Incredible Android Development] truegrass:
I have run the unrevoked3 and now have root. When I try to go into recovery, it shows the htc boot screen and then the screen goes black with a white border on the sides and bottom. Am I missing something? I do need a little help. I have placed the forever zip on the root of my sd card and would like to flash that. Any help is greatly appreciated!

Thanks
[Droid Incredible Android Development] truegrass:
Ok, so I googled the problem and I found this thread:

if you have recently purchased your Incredible it probably has an slcd screen. The current recovery that is pushed with the unrevoked tool will not work. Please follow this thread.

i downloaded everything that was needed for unrevoked 3. when i click on the evo3 it pops and says waiting for device, i plug the device in make sure it is on charge only and that the usb debugging is enabled. and it just sits there.

can anyone help?
[Droid Incredible Android Development] ozzman54:
Did you install the proper HBOOT drivers before you did all that?
[Droid Incredible Android Development] PhillyCheez:
i noticed that too. i did it anyways and it worked.
[Droid Incredible Android Development] Cronus1995:
I've been trying to get this to work all night. all it's doing is hanging at the "waiting for root....(ok to restart)"

I have checked an double checked to make sure the HBOOT drivers are installed.

I've made sure htc sync is not installed.

I've restarted my computer and phone numerous times.

Nothing is working. I have noticed that for some reason when I plug my phone in I get promtped to install drivers for "(g): verizon mobile" when this happens my phone shows up as an HTC android phone USB device under my CD-ROM drives.

what do I need to do to fix this? I know that can't possibly be right.

I've got HBOOT .92 and an slcd screen. Also some how the phone is showing S-OFF
[Droid Incredible Android Development] dubdubberson:
so i downloaded unrevoked and installed the drivers for hboot and they show up properly in my device manager, however when i run unrevoked and plug in my evo my computer says i need to install drivers for the phone and unrevoked never connects. any help? running windows xp and android 2.2. never rooted my phone. :mad:
[Droid Incredible Android Development] Carnage9270:
Just a thought, but don't you think you should be asking for your Evo drivers in the Evo forum?

HTC Desire 2.2OTA Win XP Pro

Hi all, I have the same problem as a few people above, I have installed the HBOOT drivers and seen Android Bootloader Interface in my device manager. I then rebooted the phone and when connected with the laptop I was told I needed to install more drivers and now see ADB under other devices (Android Bootloader Device has gone).

I have turned debugging on and off a few times on the phone, switched between charge only and disk mode and still the unrEVOked program says "Waiting for device. Plug phone in now..."

I have never had any HTC software installed on the laptop so can't uninstall it. Any ideas?

Thanks
[Droid Incredible Android Development] jaybiggz:
I ran into this too. Plug the phone back up then open the device manager. Can't remember all the steps to get there but when u do look for the android device it should be near the top. Right click on it and uninstall the driver. After that is done go through the process again and it should work. I had to do this everytime I wanted to use unrevoked.
[Droid Incredible Android Development] g00gl3:
There is a working method if you are willing to do some manual work.

You will need some ADB knowledge as well as some other tools, but it is possible.

Instructions are here for all the OTA'ers to use:

The "new" OTA was officially released somewhere around the beginning of November I believe. Been out a couple weeks maybe...

Now my phone was booted into ClockworkMod Recovery from what I can tell. I plan on running through the process again if someone can tell me what I am suppose to do here. I just used the reboot option and thankfully my phone came back to normal. but I do have the little superuser app... does this mean I am rooted? I am trying so hard to follow all of this but I just can't seem to grasp the whole picture here... I just want to be able to get a free hotspot on my phone.
