3. inc or the 2.5 thanks

ran says unable to root. asked if firmware is too new, any suggestions?
[Droid Incredible Android Development] :
Personally I use 3.0.0.8 and haven't had any problems whatsoever. But some have had wiping issues. 2.5.1.2 was the last 2.x recovery. And some roms and mods aren't compatible with 3.x. So its a safe bet to go with 2.x.
[Droid Incredible Android Development] kp432:
just got finished...XDA is the shiznit! thanks a whole lot
[Droid Incredible Android Development] kp432:
so I just read that some roms or themes need the 3.x clockwork, in order to do that I just repeat that same rEVOked process but with the 3.x.img?

thanks
[Droid Incredible Android Development] :
It's a lot easier to download rom manager from the market. And then use it to update the recovery. Scroll down to All recoveries and they should be there. Much faster.
[Droid Incredible Android Development] wethead4:
Rooting for the first time. I ran unrevoked3. then I flashed unrevoked forever from cwm. all of a sudden, I cant get into recovery. Should I reflash unrevoked3?
[Droid Incredible Android Development] :
You could reflash recovery from Rom manager. Or you can use an image to flash it from hboot if you want.

When you rooted for the first time, did your phone reboot twice I don't think you let the rooting process finish.
[Droid Incredible Android Development] chaos0422:
I just bought the Incredible yesterday have questions on the rooting process. I did not download the software update due to me expecting to root this phone.

1. I looked under my applications to delete HTC Sync as instructed. I could only find Sync Service and Sync widget (says HTC corporation underneath of it). Is one of these the one I need to uninstall? Is it possible that mine does not have it?

2. I only need HDboot if running windows correct?

3. What is an Slcd screen and how do I know if I have one?

I glanced through the thread and didn't see any answers to my questions. I would appreciate any help with these questions. Thank You!
[Droid Incredible Android Development] k_nivesout:
When they're referring to HTC sync, its talking about the program on your computer. Check and see if you have it, but if you haven't installed it, it shouldn't be on there.

You need the hboot drivers if you're using windows. I did it on my MacBook and it didn't require anything extra.

SLCD is the screen type. Due to high demand, they had to switch from AMOLED to SLCD screens a few months after the incredible was released. Go to settings>about phone and look for hardware version. 0002 is AMOLED and 0003 is SLCD. Unrevoked will work regardless of the screen type.
[Droid Incredible Android Development] roidsmith:
unrevoked will not download for me. I get a 403 error.

opinions? ive tried google chrome, and explorer but still get the same thing.
[Droid Incredible Android Development] :
Hmm, does it here too. They'll probably fix it sooner or later. I have the latest Mac version. So, im only helpful to Mac users. If you have a mac I can put it in my Dropbox and share it temporarily.
[Droid Incredible Android Development] roidsmith:
I hope its fixed soon. My friends been wanting his rooted and im trying to do it lol.

Wish it was as easy as installing cwm and flashing it then flash the rom lol.

If anyone has the windows vista 64bit program, do you mind pming me it?

[Droid Incredible Android Development] pastalero:
Make sure your phone is just set to charge on USB and your debugging is turned on
[Droid Incredible Android Development] tee00max:
Yeah I'm rooted now. I just didn't have the other driver installed.

Thanks!
[Droid Incredible Android Development] SlimSnoopOS:
Look just three posts above yours for the answer. The reason: in its present status, Unrevoked roots froyo only. There are no root methods for 2.3.4 on the Inc.

how do i get back to froyo then? no wonder i have been so frustrated searching everywhere as to why i couldnt get unrevoked3 to root my gfs phone. and right after i posted a question in the q&a section to:(

Wait, total noob question...Sorry.

So I'm rooted already and have my recovery on the latest version, and have a custom ROM (cyanogen)..

I don't need to update anything with this do I? This is only for people who haven't rooted yet correct?

Or do I? :confused:
[Droid Incredible Android Development] Lexus One:
The new v3.0 process completed on my PC. And now I have the DInc screen displaying "ClockworkMod Recovery 2.0.2.4." But when I select "reboot system now" it does nothing... What am I missing here?
[Droid Incredible Android Development] baram:

[Droid Incredible Android Development] bhazard451:
Click the trackball to "press enter". The power button functions as a back button in Clockworkmod recovery.

Are you selecting it by clicking the optical track button?

You must make sure your driver is installed properly in the sdk folder :)
[Droid Incredible Android Development] yojoe600:
not unless you want to update recovery to new version

[Droid Incredible Android Development] Americanmetal:
Titanium backup claims I don't have root, even though Superuser asked if I wanted to grant it root.

Tells me, "Sorry I could not acquire root priveleges. This application will *not* work ! Please verify that your ROM is rooted and includes BusyBox, and try again."
[Droid Incredible Android Development] seanhassars:
just hit the problems button and let it install busybox. it'll work after that.

[Droid Incredible Android Development] s197:
Those having problems, make sure USB debugging is on, phone is set to "charge only" and also uninstall HTC sync. Install the drivers in the .zip and you should be good to go.
[Droid Incredible Android Development] shtty872:
seems that worked thanks!
[Droid Incredible Android Development] wamblej:
su permission

Update: It appears it was a driver issue. I uninstalled all forms of drivers for the phone from my pc. Rebooted, and ran it again. It went to completion this time.

for some reason I am not able to get it to give my phone su permissions. If I run adb shell in android os I get the $, but su permission denied. If I run it in recovery mode I get a # (not $). I'm sure I am missing something.

Also, when I run unrevoked 3 I always end up with the message "communication with phone unexpectedly interrupted." The nandroid backup does work... but I guess I just don't know where to go from there.

Any help is appreciated. Sorry for the android noob question.
[Droid Incredible Android Development] kizunaencounter:
First off i would thank the unrevoked team for such an easy root. Everything worked perfectly no problems with install on mac os x 10.6.4 but when i try to flash an rom it doesn't work. nandroid worked I did a backup and restored successfully. Superuser is installed. However when i installed Titanium backup it came up with this prompt ""Sorry I could not acquire root priveleges. This application will *not* work ! Please verify that your ROM is rooted and includes BusyBox, and try again."I then hit problems and installed busybox. But when i run busybox installer (DL from market) it says i dont have busybox installed? any thoughts to why i cant flash an rom?
[Droid Incredible Android Development] d_1000:
Thank you!

Thank you team for all of your hard work! Here I was a big chicken to root, but you all made it easy. I installed 50 to 100 hybrids on my old bb (no kidding!), but I was afraid to try rooting my DInc, but you all made it Easy and I could do it w/o running Windows on my Mac!:)

Run "repair busybox" from within Titanium backup. Known issue.

[Droid Incredible Android Development] contagous:
1) Whats the best recovery img to run? the one that comes with this or a custom, I don;t really know anything about the recovery section... Can anyone explain?

2) Also if I use this, will it wipe anything from my phone? do I need to back anything up?

I know root doesn't normally, but with the recovery and stuff I don't know about, I thought i'd ask to make sure...

3) Also i'm running the hboot .79 and was never able to root the phone, do I need to do anything special?

4) once I have this up and running, people say to make a backup using titanium or nandroid, is this a easy process?

5) last question, how do I set up the wifi tether after this is completed?

Thanks
[Droid Incredible Android Development] adrynalyne:
1. Clockwork, which it comes with.

2. No, but backups never killed anyone and probably saved some lives at some point ;)

3.No.

4.I don't use Titanium, but a nandroid backup is really easy, esp. if you use rom manager from the market.

5. There are instructions on this forum...somewhere ;)
[Droid Incredible Android Development] contagous:
Hey Adrynalyne mate :)

Thanks for info :)

Awesome worked 1st time, very nice unrEVOked :) thanks for you hard work, now to try and get wifi and a backup working :) which is best backup to use anyone?

Nandroid or Titanium?

also what do they backup? Does it backup everything, from phone/sd and contact messages everything? or just apps and such.

Thanks
[Droid Incredible Android Development] adrynalyne:
I can't speak for Titanium, but a nandroid backup backs up EVERYTHING except the sd card and phone storage.

It's Sharky, from EEK! the cat. :rolleyes:

So got nandroid backup working :) Thanks Adrynalne

also anyone know where I can find how to make the wifi tether work now I got root via unrEVOked3 and how to remove certain apps like cityid and the verizon backup thing that loads every time I restart phone? without using adb? So much stuff on these forums now, I can't ever find the most recent way to do it.

Thanks in advance.

*edit*

Is it Barnacle WiFi Tether from market for wireless tethering?

This will give you the ability to install a custom recovery on your phone without having to do root. I don't know if this installs superuser.apk and su though, if it doesn't you could easily put a rom on your phone that has superuser built in.

You have not uninstalled HTCSYC or other program which is interfering.

Thank you UnrEVOked team! Got this to work on the first try.

I did lose a bunch of my pictures though. Not too worried about the ones on my card cause those are backed up but I don't know if/how I can restore the ones that were on the phones memory. Anyone know why this might have happened or how to get them back?

any idea on what other program could be interfering
[Droid Incredible Android Development] outsid0r:
if u look at the unrevoked twitter page the communications error is a known windows only problem which they have been working very hard to resolve. Easiest fix is to run this on a mac or linux box from what ive heard.

First post updated.
[Droid Incredible Android Development] shoman24v:
I will update clockwork when I get home from work. Looks easy enough.

Can you remove applications like cityid with the phone on? Or do you have to be in recovery?

I'm new to this stuff too... but I was able to change my boot video to the Droid X one with sound. I'm very happy right now...

Question about WiFi tether.... I have it installed but it doesn't allow me to access the net. Should I put the apk and bin file in its own folder and install like that? Any help on this matter is greatly appreciated!

Will donate this Friday. Thanks a lot!

FINALLY

First of all, thank you for all your hard work. I'm sending cookies to the EFF. (by cookies I mean $$).

Here's what finally did it for me:

set phone to CHARGE ONLY mode

removed HTC Sync, HTC Driver installer, Doubletwist

download "recovery-clockwork-2.5.0.1-inc.img" and open it from within OCR WITHOUT phone connected

connect the phone and cross my fingers, and watch the program do its magic..

sit tight! when the program says its done, its done! close the program and run a Nandroid backup from within the recovery mode. Once complete reboot the phone and test for SU permissions (I'm in process of this) will install Ti and see if busybox installs this time around.

Hi, I have a trouble: I tried to flash last clockwork (recovery-clockwork-2.5.0.1-inc.img), but now my phone is freezed on image boot…

I tried to reboot but nothing, I can’t use my phone, I can’t go to recovery mode… Where can I get some support/aid? Thank you for a reply.

[Droid Incredible Android Development] jdmba:
Huh?

Odd ... the five phones they list on their FAQ are different than the five phones they have downloads for ... the ERIS (vs Hero) being the difference; but the release note says it now supports the Eris. Yikes.
[Droid Incredible Android Development] Hatman41:
I should have said that it says pushing image but never goes any farther than that. Also does this program also root the ERIS as well?
[Droid Incredible Android Development] Hatman41:
So then it will not work for the ERIS? On the support page it says the following.

Supported Devices

unrevoked3 currently supports the following Android phones:

Sprint EVO 4G (HTC Supersonic)

Droid Incredible (HTC Incredible)

HTC Desire

HTC Aria

Droid Eris (HTC DesireC)

So that is why I thought it would work for the ERIS.
[Droid Incredible Android Development] jstuart91:
