I did have some weird issues with mounting/unmounting behavior when I connected the phone to my computer, but when I toggled USB debugging it started working perfectly.

in your phone go to "Settings -> Applications -> Development -> USB debugging" and enable that option. This allows both my internal SD and my external SD card to show up. While the phone is connected to the computer, it unmounts those cards from the phone so if you look up your "Settings -> SD card and phone storage" you will see them marked as unavailable. But after disconnecting the phone will remount them.
[Captivate General] max_warheads:
Well,

I've gone back and toggle usb debugging back on.

As point of fact Astro is now telling me /sdcard is empty, and threw me an error "error creating external cache". Doesn't help that Settings > SD Card and phone Storage > Internal SD card is showing me unavailable.

Oh crap.. :/ guess I might be exchanging soon :(
[Captivate General] asrrin29:
This happened to me before I enabled debugging. Simply power down the phone and restart it. It will remount your drives.
[Captivate General] max_warheads:
I've power cycled this thing so many times over the last day, it'd think a weeks gone by.

New whacky behavior... apparently the included Music Player sees my songs, but DoubleTwist doesn't. Also, about half my MP3's have 4 entries... oh what fun.

Looks like I might just be backing up my contacts, factory reset, format SD and reflash the stock image :/
[Captivate General] max_warheads:
:confused:

When connecting to the PC with MTP, it loses the SD card if the PC doesnt properly talk MTP to it. Reboot.

When connecting to my work PC as mass storage, its not even seen on the front ports.

Reboot phone.

Set to USB to Mass Storage.

Install Samsung drivers on PC (needed? idk)

Install DoubleTwist on PC.

Uninstall DT on phone.

Reboot Phone.

Install DT on phone.

Plug into back port of work PC

Working drive.

:confused:

Oh wtf. Wierd. I'll wax my config at home entirely tonight....

I recently had to give up my rooted preordered Incredible for a refurb due to heat issues and reboot (loop) issues. For those looking for a guide as to what to do if you have to return your phone to Verizon and want to unroot. I welcome any comments to update/add to this information:

1) Make a NANDROID Backup if you want to simply port it over to your new phone

2) Mount your phone as DISK DRIVE

3) Walk the directories and delete any cached thumbnails of web sites you have visited

4) Copy any pictures you want to keep which were saved on the phone

5) Reboot into ClockWork recovery

6) Wipe the Dalvik Cache

7) Wipe the Data/Factory Reset

8) Go back

9) Wipe Data (main menu)

10) Power Down your phone

11) Remove your SD Card

12) Download one of the RUU's which are hosted around the web:

http://www.shipped-roms.com/shipped/Incredible/

13) Turn on your phone and plug it in to your USB

14) Run the RUU and let it do it's thing. When its done, so are you

15) If you have a screen protector, remember to remove it.

Any additions are welcome!
[Droid Incredible General] kentoe:
Yes it will revert everything back to normal, that's called an RUU btw
[Droid Incredible General] jdmba:
Cool

Anyone know if this also removes the more hidden data, such as the cached images of the web sites you have visited? In other words, if I run the RUU, is the phone ready to just be handed over?
[Droid Incredible General] k.electron:
if i root and uninstall some apps, will this restore my phone to stock and allow me to get all future HTC updates?
[Droid Incredible General] giantcrazy:
I don't think so, but it's easy enough to do a wipe and then apply the RUU (and hey, for the hell of it, you could wipe again).
[Droid Incredible General] jdmba:
Steps?

[deleted ... first post updated]
[Droid Incredible General] kentoe:
I'm pretty sure the RUU will completely wipe your phone. However, you can take giantcrazy's advice and wipe before running the RUU.
[Droid Incredible General] jdmba:
One more try

[Droid Incredible General] andybones:
Ok, here is what you want to do.

there would be two things you need to un do before sending them back this phone.

make sure it says S-ON.

and then make sure you have stock recovery.

If you have these two things, your gold bod.
[Droid Incredible General] A Lex and Er:
Probably to noob to know any better

After going through a lot of threads this one seems appropriate. I am looking for how to go back to stock DI. After Unrevoked3, ota leak and unofficial froyo leak, my DI wont connect to VZW anymore, all out going calls are busy. Talked to my VZW guys, they are cool with me, tried to help nothin'. Today tried Unrevoked forever and official froyo leak, still no VZW connection. I looked into this a lot before I tried these mods I don't know what went wrong, I would not have been able to do this with out such easy tools as are provided today. "I NEED HELP" to get back to stock, "PLEASE". I have looked into SDK and Adb, as I have been lead to believe there is no way to return to 2.1 and the right radio without these tools. At this moment I have not been able to find clear enough explanations on how to use these tools, this is where I maybe over my head. I assume my radio is fried, I don't care if no "S on", I just need those obvious things; version, kernel, baseband, to be stock. Any help will be appreciated, big thanks for any suggestions
[Droid Incredible General] ACD168:
Ok, there is so much here I will do my best.

number one, having s-on is just as important as having a radio thats either 2.15x or 1.x, now that the OTA 2.2 update is sending out, you can send the phone back with 2.2 and 2.15x radio.

what you need to make sure of, is two things, you have s-on,

and you have stock recovery.
[Droid Incredible General] A Lex and Er:
Thank you, and really they wont know if the ota was pushed to me? I found the S on tool, I didn't know there was one, I had only read on about S off. I don't know how to find/replace stock recovery, I will start searching though. Much appreciation, my better half is not as thrilled about my learning experience as I am.

I already rooted and unrooted once, will I get stock recovery back after unrooting?
[Droid Incredible General] ACD168:
Your welcome, I'm happy to see you are learning so quickly. S-on is very helpful for those warranty returns of the phone.

Verizon has no idea whether or not you got the ota, or better yet what version you have or if you are rooted, ect.

If you tell me what your hboot it, radio, software version, s-on or s-off, if rooted or not, and if you have the stock recovery or clockwork and I will try and guide you to where you want to be..

if you need help getting to the stock recovery this must mean you are rooted, and this can be achieved by downgrading the phone by un-rooting, I'd suggest running s-off while you are rooted, then

androidforums.com/incredible-all-things-root/99828-video-howto-unroot-incredible-downgrading.html

sorry can't post links yet,

to help you un-root and get that stock recovery back.
[Droid Incredible General] ACD168:
To find out real fast if you have the stock recovery or clockwork-mod recovery, boot into HBOOT, (power off phone, hold vol down and power til screen turns on) and then vol down to select recovery and push the power button I think to select and then if you get a red triangle that means stock recovery.
[Droid Incredible General] marcmarshall:
Also need to return phone

I just got off with Asurion and they are over nighting a replacement. I had rooted my phone, installed some root only apps like wireless tethering and set cpu, removed some bloat like CityID and Tweet/Peep, and changed the boot animation. No custom ROM or radio update.

Then I wanted to get the OTA update so I applied s-off and flashed back to stock recovery.

So what do I need to do to return this phone. I know I will need to apply s-on. Then should I flash a stock 2.1 or just revert the changes I made to boot animation, restore the bloatware, and remove the root apps? Do I need to remove any other files that go with being root?

Thanks.........MM
[Droid Incredible General] A Lex and Er:
Hello,

I wanted to thank you again for the help this last weekend. I apologize for not returning for more of the help you offered me. My wife only has every other weekend off and we have an 18mo. old son, both of whom deserved my time more than my DI. I love my DI but it wasn't giving me much love.

Although VZW isn't always the nicest to my pocket book, I have never been taken care of as well by any other provider(s) employees, thank you. As I mentioned in my first post, my VZW guys are cool with me. Yesterday I went into the store and the manager offered to help me. He managed to reconnect my DI to the network but no 3g's. He believes my problem is just a coincidence because he had another customer with a similar problem over the weekend, with no mod's. Still I need to exchange my DI, it doesn't look like 3g's is going to turn on.

My real issue is still getting custom recovery off and stock recovery back on, then unrooting will be a breeze. The videos you lead me to are one of the sources I have been working with, however to reverse the leaked ota, Downgrade leaked ota video, requires SDK and adb knowledge, this is where I am noob. At this time my VZW manager who is in school for programing is attempting to help me (he has a over clocked Palm Pre Plus, 1Ghz), this is very cool of him, well beyond what is expected. (I am in no way encouraging anyone to rely on their VZW employees for this kind of help, this is a unique situation, I have been building a relationship with my VZW guys for two years+, not all VZW employees have a clue about mod's, and mod's technically void the warranty) I am hoping to learn enough about these tools, SDK and adb, to help myself before the next time, and I will hopefully be gaining some of this knowledge from my friends at my VZW store soon. I will also be looking forward to the help I receive from fine people such as yourself and people in this community in future endeavors.

I will stop basically hijacking this thread now:)

Thanks to all of the people who support these community's, with out whom many of us would never get our foot in the door. Much appreciation to ACD168 for being there to help me.

Take the time and learn to do it right the first time.
[Droid Incredible General] ACD168:
First off, you are very welcome my friend, anything I can do to help do hesitate to ask!, and your not hijacking any thread brother, that's what these threads are for!!!

Thats real cool of the VZW employees!!

adb and sdk isnt that difficult I can help you!!
[Droid Incredible General] Serinety:
Read my post about warranty exchange.

I know alot of people are "better safe than sorry" mentality. but I have returned 2 phones that were fully rooted, updated, s-off running custom roms and I had no issues. in fact ive never had an issue using warranty exchange. ive exchanged phones that I broke (like broke.. with pieces coming off). I just call and tell the operator lady my phone doesnt work, i dont know why.. it was just working earlier and now it wont turn on.. they send me a new phone and I send back the broken one and everyone is happy.

They only confirm that the numbers on the phone match your account. Not the reasons you are sending it Back. the warhouse guy that opens your box isnt the same guy you talked to, nor do they have information about your phone call to the tech. They simply open the box, scan the numbers and move on.

dont stress to much about it
[Droid Incredible General] stiche:
Great info here

Thanks to every one of you on this thread. I am finally breaking free from WinMo and getting Dinc after a lot of research. I like Verizon but hate the bloatware they pack onto Androids and all the other phones, so I will be fiddleing with ROMs. If I screw up I am looking here first to see how to get it back to stock so I can get my new one with the insurance coverage.

Everytime I get to serouosly looking around these forums I learn great new stuff. I will donate to the XDA someday soon!
[Droid Incredible General] glengarets:
Okay. so im a noob. Just need to ask. What do you guys mean by stock recovery? I just rooted my phone but need to unroot to send it in for work at Verizon. Could you help me out?
[Droid Incredible General] Rom-Addict:
Stock recovery is what ur phone came with ie not clockwork.

Edit: there are great get back to stock threads. Step by step instructions. Check stickies

[Droid Incredible General] Addicted2Droid:
Sorry to bring this topic back from the dead but I have a question.

I moved to the thunderbolt and am going to sell my incredible. The problem is, it's rooted and want to bring it back to stock. I know my froyo update was not pushed directly from verizon. I believe this update was pushed from verizon in the first wave and someone posted the update. Would this be considered a leaked version or are we talking the leaked version that came out prior to verizon finally releasing froyo?

I rooted the phone no problem but I'm a bit scared to unroot it for some reason. I might actually try and sell it as rooted.
[Droid Incredible General] BenHolliday:
If you follow the steps in OP's post and use the bottom RUU, you should be selling a factory android. Just check to make sure S is On or sell it with S OFF
[Droid Incredible General] unisev:
Hello,

Thank you for this very simple and usefull topic !

[General Topics] DarThLuKe:
has anyone ever had any issues with card fraud following a payment made to the windows mobile marketplace?

I paid for an app for the first time ever this week and since then my card details have been ripped and used to the total of £1500, I'm not massively worried about it as they generally refund this sort of thing (its happened to me before).

But has anyone ever input their card details to their live account via the phone and then had fraud on their card?

Just a note i flashed with a cooked rom from this site at the begining of the week and without accusing or anything like that, is it possible the ROM is the cause of the details leak or just that microsoft marketplace sux?

Many Thanks

Luke
[General Topics] maxpower097:
It would most cetainly be possible, but I would say very improbable. That kinda crap gets the cops looking at you. Where as a true scammer would run your and 1000 other cards for $5-$10 each and 80% of the people never even know they got charged. Emptying the account will definetelly draw law enforcment and red flags. I would say it probably didn't come from your phone but you never know. I persoanlly keep an online card with like $100 in it, and a seperate account for savings at another bank.I'm sure you'll get your money back but your chances are just as good that it got stolen at mcdonalds or Citgo and sold on irc. Was it one charge or a bunch? Were there many charges offshore? I know they typically will set up pet stores in 3rd world countries and run the cards through there.
[General Topics] DarThLuKe:
i still had the card, and its not my main account etc, but I only ever use it for paypal and occasional online purchases, the most recent one was this week to marketplace, and suddenly ive got 10 transactions to UK companies totalling £1500, cleaned the overdraft to the max :)

They were all seperate purchases, there was three to screwfixdirect totaling £900, some to O2 topup, some to game.co.uk etc...

Just seemed strange that the only time ive put the details into any form of online payment for months and i get robbed :)

Can anybody post it here or tell me a working link for the apk-file?

Thx,

then click on the download tab

I tried it before but it didn't work.

After resetting the phone to factory defaults I find Astro in market place but all installed applications must be reinstalled.

Can any of the previous installed apps block market place for specific apps? Are there any known apps which act like that?

URGENT: my phone doesn't have android market what should I do?

Hello Everyone and first of all let me congrat svetius on opening this new sub-forum dedicated to Galaxy S hopefully it will grow bigger and surpass the HTC and other Sub-Forums :D

Second I hope that you welcome me guys and hopefully I will try to be a useful member in this forum and I hope that all the members here are helpful and friendly as well (well ofcourse it is it's the XDA forum afterall ;) )

ahem ok lets get to the point the moment I saw the samsung galaxy S I knew it would be my next phone and the true successor to my old omnia HD (hopefully Samsung's support for the new phone will be better than i8910) and yesterday I had the chance to test it out... the Galaxy S was released last week in Dubai and to my surprise it had Arabic language support! well some of you might wonder whats the deal with arabic support well let me tell samsung is the FIRST company to add arabic language in an android OS/phone which is btw not officially supported by google (there is no arabic language in official android rom) therefore I salute samsung for thier costumer support

NOW my main problem is that there is NO market app in the phone which is a shock!! what's the use of an android phone with no access to market it's useless in my opinion... the irony is that my country is the only country in the region that doesn't have android market support which sucks since i've been waiting for this phone for 6 months

right now I have two options: import the phone and have arabic+market but lose the warranty in the process OR buy it here and enjoy all the benefits of the warranty and the official samsung support but have no access to android market what-so-ever

is there is any way I can add the android market app to my phone through the means of root or anyway around?

appreciate the help guys :)
[Galaxy S I9000 General] TravUK:
The other alternative might be to install one of the ROMs from a different region.
[Galaxy S I9000 General] hmj2k3:
Android Market is illegal in U.A.E. and K.S.A. I heard of a software called Market enabler but I'm not sure how it works or if you need to root your SGS first to use it.

Can you please post images of the Arabic menus and inform us about the firmware on your SGS?
[Galaxy S I9000 General] oO SNAK3ATER Oo:
thnx for the response guys and yes I think that the andriod market is illegal in the UAE but really what harm it will be if downloaded FREE apps from the market and enjoyed the phone like other android users?! well I still haven't got the phone but I hopefully in the next 2 days and by then I will update the thread with some pictures ^_^

@TravUK can I install other roms and still retain the arabic language? it's really important for me to have a phone that supports arabic language...

btw is it possible to root the phone and install the market app from phones that have the market application? market enabler is a good option but i'd rather have the orignal android market app :-p
[Galaxy S I9000 General] ShaggyDragon:
I was in the same situation, I bought my Galaxy S yesterday in Dubai and found it had no market app. There was however a cut down regional market app loaded. I don't speak Arabic, so I simply flashed the latest ROM on it, this in turn killed the Arabic functionality -which is not what you want.

According to press reports, the market is simply removed in the UAE versions. Apparently it will be present in the Kuwait, Bahrain, Oman and Qatar models. Maybe you need to wait for a ROM image to be posted from someone there?
[Galaxy S I9000 General] d0p3d:
You could try using an alternative for such region problems like SlideMe: http://slideme.org/
[Galaxy S I9000 General] oO SNAK3ATER Oo:
@ShaggyDragon congrats on the phone man how is it? is it laggy like the vodafone models or is it an unlocked unbranded phone like the 8GB version from expansies? also beside the lack of android market app what about the features and the pre-installed apps is it the same as the European version or did we got cut out of some features( I hope not T_T)? for example does it come with layar and the e-book or did we get a rip-off version (I would be pissed to pay $725+ for a phone that doesn't come with features that it was originally advertised with)...and last question for you if you flash the phone with an official/custom rom will you retain all the apps and features that are available to SGS in other regoin( example market app, layar, aldiko etc) ?

@d0p3d thnx for your suggesstion but slide me is really poor it contains less than 500 apps as I heard... but what about market enabler does it work with SGS? and if it is does it contain all the applications that are available on the original android market?

P.S. can anyone with an UAE SGS dump their rom for us who are interested in arabic or for back-up plans? I would dump my rom but unfortunately i'm totally new to android :-/
