anyone else having problems with WIFI tether?

it installed and appears to be running on the phone, but my laptop doesn't see the SSID from the phone
[Droid Incredible Android Development] enkrypt3d:
1. Download PB31IMG.zip and place it in the root of you SDCARD.

2. Now go to the bootloader.

2a. Run 'adb reboot oem-42' if powered up or hold Power + Volume Down if your phone is off.

3. It should automatically start loading PB31IMG.zip. Then accept it when it asks you to load it or not (pretty sure Vol Up).

4. You are now completely stock. You should remove PB31IMG from your SDCARD now.

5. Download dinc_ota.zip, rename it to update.zip and place it in the root of your SDCARD.

6. Now boot into recovery and apply the zip.

6a. adb reboot recovery if powered up or Power + Volume Down then select Recovery.

6b. Now hit Power + Volume Up to bring up the Recovery menu.

6c. Now select apply update.zip

Ok after step 6c, it says assert failed: file_getprop("/system/build.prop" and a bunch of other crap saying Error in /sdcard/update.zip status 7......

I was able to get the system back to 2.1, with PB31IMG.zip... so now what??
[Droid Incredible Android Development] silverxbv2:
As a follow up to your question, can anyone who has wireless tether working verify AP mode?
[Droid Incredible Android Development] CaptainTaco:
Nope, works fine here.
[Droid Incredible Android Development] shoman24v:
awesome, got it!

Little disappointed sense can't be disabled.
[Droid Incredible Android Development] silverxbv2:
AP mode or ad hoc?
[Droid Incredible Android Development] rbtmarshall:
are you using wireless_tether_2_0_5-pre4.apk or wireless_tether_2_0_5-pre3.apk from code.google website?

I tried both and no luck showing up on my available networks from my laptop
[Droid Incredible Android Development] DKSE:
I think I just jizzed myself.
[Droid Incredible Android Development] sprintrjm:
re

i have installed 2.2 with root.

Everytime i try and delete cityid.apk i get read-only file system

I have root and am making sure to use su to get superuser.

i have tried both a terminal emulator on the incredible and CMD on my computer but both tell me permission is denied.
[Droid Incredible Android Development] enkrypt3d:
One thing you should add to the unroot instructions is after u install the PB31IMG.zip file, be sure to apply the update from verizion that will show up on the screen after the system is back up - reboot then boot back into HBOOT > recovery and apply update.zip again.... otherwise I see the above errors..... cheers
[Droid Incredible Android Development] GEN3RIC:
I get to step 6 of the Rooted tutorial and upon going into HBOOT and selecting RECOVERY. It reboots into recovery, or tries. I get the red exclamation / triangle on the screen. I was in the recovery earlier, but now after it did the PB31IMG flash, it doesn't work.

Side question: shouldn't the baseband version be 2.x within PB31IMG.zip? It's just got that 1.x (which is what I had). Just curious, since I couldn't discern this from the post.
[Droid Incredible Android Development] gbenj:
Thanks to you both
[Droid Incredible Android Development] gbenj:
Next question I have is are you guys seeing google maps locate you by any method other than gps?

It says it cant find location for me in every context other than a gps lock.

use to use wifi/cell towers, whatever was available, and then get more accurate down to gps when I had that.
[Droid Incredible Android Development] vbhines:
I can't read this thread anymore. I feel like treating my forehead to a healthy dose of keyboard.
[Droid Incredible Android Development] enkrypt3d:
when u see the red !, press power and volume UP at the same time then scroll down to install update.zip :)
[Droid Incredible Android Development] silverxbv2:
No **** huh. LMAO
[Droid Incredible Android Development] GEN3RIC:
Thanks man, I totally forgot it reverted to the stock recovery. Got too used to Clockwork Recovery.. been out of the game too long I guess.
[Droid Incredible Android Development] Stockmoose16:
Titanium backup

I've seen several questions regarding using Titanium backup and restore, but no definitive answers.

If I wipe and install Froyo 2.2, can I use Titanium to restore the backup I made when I had 2.1 + Root + leaked OTA? I don't want to have to re-setup my entire phone, including email settings, etc.

Isn't there some risk of restoring system files on a new rom? Please give a definitive answer to this question.
[Droid Incredible Android Development] gbenj:
Are the laptops wireless N or G?

Edit: NVM, might not be the case, its not showing up on my laptop which is G or Netbook which is N.

Any ideas?

Is it possible that the Inc is running wifi tether in N only? This would be a problem for most people
[Droid Incredible Android Development] silverxbv2:
Waiting patiently on ap mode confirmation in wireless tether 2.0.5.:cool:
[Droid Incredible Android Development] enkrypt3d:
Yea I finally got my 2.2 downgraded to 2.1update1, then installed the OTA update from VZ that was downloaded automatically to my phone, then the update.zip worked.... now did the unrevoked 3 again and doing a nanbackup b4 i try this **** again lol WHEW God I hope this works....

Ok FINALLY got it all working now I can sleep tonight hahaha
[Droid Incredible Android Development] CaptainTaco:
neither, using 2_0_2. Installed via titanium backup from before I installed ROM. Tried 2_0_5 for kicks, no go.
[Droid Incredible Android Development] htc_woe_is_me:
I didn't have to use Ti backup or anything. All game info was carried over (in case anyone else was wondering at all)
[Droid Incredible Android Development] lentm:
I had 2.1 with flash 10.1.

Now i installed froyo rom without nandroid back up.

When i go to any webpage that has flash on it it just closes my browser. I uninstalled flash with titanium now webpage doesnt show flash anymore. How can i reinstall it? I cant find it on market too...

Edit. Nvm i reinstalled rom and problem solved.
[Droid Incredible Android Development] gbenj:
Think you're gonna be waiting a while, apparently 2.0.2 works in ad hoc mode, but 2.0.5 dont work at all.

Thats rough and will hopefully get worked out soon.
[Droid Incredible Android Development] palomosan:
Make sure the FS is FAT32, otherwise PB13IMG.zip will not flash.

What does this means, do I have to make a partition on my sd card???

By the way run just the update without the Radio thing and it's Froyo 2.2 with sense, (Camcorder did crash)
[Droid Incredible Android Development] silverxbv2:
It'll probably be up in the morning along with new hydra oc.:D Hint, Hint ejhart.
[Droid Incredible Android Development] rbtmarshall:
Thanks :D, downloaded wireless_tether_2_0_2.apk, and it works. my laptop is now recognizing the wifi access point.
[Droid Incredible Android Development] zeke1988:
format your card in your PC and select FAT32.
[Droid Incredible Android Development] zeke1988:
but i want AP mode :(
[Droid Incredible Android Development] alexdw369:
Since I hadn't seen it clarified yet, and some previous posts had me going nowhere, the proper location of the boot audio file is:

/system/customize/resource/VZW_Droid.mp3

at least one previous poster had it as "resources," which is incorrect. So, to clarify, the command to remove the boot audio would therefore be:

adb shell rm /system/customize/resource/VZW_Droid.mp3
[Droid Incredible Android Development] sprintrjm:
re

can someone test to see if they can delete cityid ?

pleeeese
[Droid Incredible Android Development] silverxbv2:
I feel your pain. I just got it working this weekend. I'm gonna go blind from all the reading I've done the last 2 days on here and AF. It's been an INCREDIBLE week so far.:D
[Droid Incredible Android Development] CaptainTaco:
meh, what do you really need AP mode for?

Stronger encryption? just use access control

Faster speeds? Tis 3G we're connecting to here... lol.

Simultaneous connections? Can do it with Ad-Hoc.

Unless you're connecting it to a wireless relay and into a switch, in which case I ask... WTF?!!!!

Course...

I'm not picky lol.
[Droid Incredible Android Development] yokem55:
Quick tip to linux users: When applying the PB31IMG.zip to unroot, your sdcard needs to be formatted not only as "vfat" but also with 32 bit mode enabled. Something like "mkfs.vfat -F32 /dev/sdd1" will format the sdcard appropriately.
[Droid Incredible Android Development] silverxbv2:
Not need. Just want to one up the Yphone users. Any way I can.:D
[Droid Incredible Android Development] htc_woe_is_me:
Can someone use root explorer or some method to find out the name of the VZ Navigator file so I can remove it? Unless someone can tell me from knowledge...
[Droid Incredible Android Development] spartan141:
damn this thread really blew up quick
[Droid Incredible Android Development] htc_woe_is_me:
I definitely deleted it off of mine.

Use this thread.. props to adrynalyne for this thread

http://androidforums.com/all-things-root-incredible/131471-proper-method-removing-city-id.html
[Droid Incredible Android Development] alexdw369:
I just deleted CityID.apk without any ill effect so far.

I have also removed without any noticable issues so far:

Teeter, Footprints, FriendStream, Twitter, Flickr, VZ Navigator, Visual Voice Mail, Amazon MP3 and Stock.
[Droid Incredible Android Development] CaptainTaco:
Test? No, but I can inform?

adb reboot recovery
adb shell
# mount -a
# cd /system/app
# mv CityID.apk CityID.apk.backup

or if you really feel the need to get it off your system completely with no hope of ever coming back (paring of course... putting it back?......)

instead of the "# mv CityID.apk CityID.apk.backup" run

# rm CityID.apk

Don't recommend getting in the habit of this, the other way still uninstalls the app, but gives you that safety of just renaming it back to what it was in the case of complete system crankiness.

EDIT:

Quick recap here:

"mv" command = good, safe, and generally prevents the later "I think I deleted something I need... how do I get it back"

Think of mv as deleting a file on a windows computer... you can always bring it back from the recycling bin

"rm" command = bad, dangerous,

Thikn of the rm command as deleting that file from the recycling bin forever... and then the tears when you've come to the realization you accidentally and quite permanently deleted your favorite photo of you and your girlfriend/boyfriend... or you know... your linux kernel... one of the two... either way, bad!

EDIT: Nothing like a million people answer the same question at once...
[Droid Incredible Android Development] alexdw369:
Yup...confused the mv and rm commands. Edited as to not screw anybody up. Thanks
[Droid Incredible Android Development] htc_woe_is_me:
can you give me the name of the VZ Navigator APK please? I tried /system/bin/rm /system/app/vznavigator and I got no such file prompt
[Droid Incredible Android Development] alexdw369:
it would be VzNav.apk

Also, you could find all the names yourself by using

adb shell

# ls /system/app

(assuming you have the system partition mounted in recovery)
[Droid Incredible Android Development] htc_woe_is_me:
You da man!

___________________________

Also I clipped this out of a thread posted by adrynalyne. It showed a bit more to deleting cityID:

_____________________________________________________________

To remove city ID properly, boot into clockwork recvovery and mount /system under the partitions menu.

Then,

Code:

adb shell

rm /system/app/CityID.apk

rm /system/framework/com.cequint.platform.jar

rm /system/framework/com.cequint.platform.odex

Unmount System in the partitions menu and reboot.

Upon reboot and back at home screen:

Code:

adb shell

su

pm uninstall com.cequint.cityid

This will give a success message. If its a failure message, then its not needed, or more likely, you made a typo. This can be checked via manage applications (but cannot be removed from there unless done this way).

NOW City ID is truly gone.
[Droid Incredible Android Development] htc_woe_is_me:
Good God its a library! Thanks for the info man. I have to write that down!
[Droid Incredible Android Development] gadget!:
You never want to restore system files from one version of a rom to another, it can only create problems.

I don't use Titanium, I use MyBackUp Pro and after I got the rom installed I restored my apps that weren't in the market. When restoring there is an option to restore the apk and data, that is what I selected.

I also restored my Data such as Contacts, Calendar, Bookmarks, and against my better judgment - Emails, Call Log, and Messages.

So far I have noticed no Ill effects.

Loving this ROM!

Thanks again to the OP for making it available.
[Droid Incredible Android Development] alexdw369:
and just because it wasn't so explicitly named, to get rid of the Mobile 3G Hotspot icon, the files are named:

WifiRouter.apk

WifiRouter.odex

Haven't noticed any bugs with this one yet, but I literally JUST tried it.
[Droid Incredible Android Development] silverxbv2:
What about bluetooth? Like voice dial and such? My old dumbphone was able to play all audio through my headset, not just calls. It was the only phone I heard of doing it. Played music, youtube audio, game sounds, everything through a single ear headset. Really miss that on this phone.
[Droid Incredible Android Development] theotherrogue:
To remove the "DROID" sound on boot...

Correction: adb shell rm /system/customize/resource/VZW_Droid.mp3

(

not

resources with an 's')
[Droid Incredible Android Development] CaptainTaco:
Depends on the headset. HTC Incredible supports streaming audio through Bluetooth, not sure how this pertains to this thread however.
[Droid Incredible Android Development] ThugEsquire:
I lold so hard at this, thanks man!
[Droid Incredible Android Development] Stockmoose16:
But what if you don't want to have to re-setup all your email accounts (e.g. Touchdown Exchange, gmail, yahoo)? And more importantly, I don't want to have to re-setup my home screens. That's a huge pain in the butt. Is there any way to use Titanium to restore all the apps, data, and appearance once I flash the 2.2 ROM? I thought the whole point of Titanium was that it could save and restore all user settings and appearance, not just the apps.
[Droid Incredible Android Development] htc_woe_is_me:
Just wanted to throw a quick shoutout and endless thanks to the dev and gurus in this thread helping everyone out.

Thanks!

Rooted Froyo muthaf***az!!!
[Droid Incredible Android Development] silverxbv2:
I know the phone supports streaming audio but only to stereo headsets right? What about to single ear like Jawbone or Plantronics? Stock does not. Just trying to gather as much info as possible on the new features. Could care less about uninstalling apps and HELP ME, NOW WHAT posts? Those certainly don't pertain either.
[Droid Incredible Android Development] Nathanjb7:
I installed to 2.2 successfully with no problems. After running titanium restore flash 10.1 wouldnt install and neither would google sky map...everything else installed fine. I went into the market to try and install these apps and it errored out. I remember seeing awhille back a market fix for the new OTA but i never installed it, would that fix work on this rom? And is anyone else having this problem or something similiar?

EDIT: also certain flash websites (like ebaumsworld) open and close real quick....before i updated i was able to view the page just fine except for the videos.
[Droid Incredible Android Development] thestapler:
ANOTHER ota question...

loaded update.zip on the sd card, booted into stock recovery, progress bar appeared on the right side automatically, asked if I wanted to apply update, I hit yes. I walked away and the phone rebooted. When the phone turned back on, it asked if I wanted to perform an ota update. I hit yes. Phone reboots, radio is still 1.xxx. Obviously I didn't do something right, but is it ok (safe) to attempt the update again?

possibly stupid question, I know.
[Droid Incredible Android Development] CaptainTaco:
I continue to see the use of "rm" in "simple fixes". I implore all who use rm for anything, please make a nandroid backup first, or some form of backup, rm can be extremely dangerous in the hands of those who... well have poor hands, slight typos can reap havoc on your system. There are no confirmations for rm, if you accidentally typed the wrong file name, linux does not care, it's going to delete it anyway, and far quicker than you realizing you spelled it wrong. Trust me, one of my first experiences with the power of "rm" was me deleting an entire linux system with one command... no confirmation... no hand holding... no "are you sure implode the entire system from the inside out (yes/no)"

Though admittedly fun at times... If someone on a linux machine is annoying you, it's like the "hey type alt-f4 and your computer will go faster" trick, only better... "Yea Steve... just type rm -r / and a bunny gets drawn on the screen..." PS DON'T EVER TYPE THAT!... that command would effectively delete everything on a system, just showing you how dangerous it can truly be. I hesitate to even list it, but ignorance can often be more dangerous than temptation. Alright, sleep time, you know you've been up to long when you ramble about nothing on a thread already cluttered with enough nothing...

Wireless Tether Does Not Work!!! I repeat you can see the wireless network on laptop

Wireless Tether Does not work with this rom. You can see the wifi network on your laptop but can't connect with internet. We need to fix this.
[Droid Incredible Android Development] jasonb1985:
i'm having the same issue.
[Droid Incredible Android Development] CaptainTaco:
Ah, so your question was did they add support for this. I can't answer that as I don't have a bluetooth headset to test it on, it's likely a no, but one never knows. Also, I wasn't trying to complain about an off topic post, more indicate it may be quicker to be answered in an alternative thread, of course at the time I thought you were asking about a feature of the phone itself, not of the 2.2 OTA.
[Droid Incredible Android Development] alexdw369:
Successfully removed HtcLockScreen.apk and HtcLockScreen.odex !!!!!!!

From what I understand, this couldn't be done in stock 2.1, but I have stock android lock screen with no issues so far! Woo!
[Droid Incredible Android Development] Nathanjb7:
i am able to wirelessly tether with no issues at all
[Droid Incredible Android Development] jasonb1985:
yup, confirmed. 2.0.2 works in AD-hoc mode, 2.0.5 doesn't work at all.
[Droid Incredible Android Development] CaptainTaco:
ok... DONE!

well... alright... it was never really broken, but I can pretend to fix it that fast...

You require Wireless Tether 2_0_2

2_0_5 pre3 and pre4 do not work yet.

Secondly, if you are using 2_0_2 and having issues with connecting to the internet you likely require the fw_bcm4329.bin file that fixed WirelessTether in our original rooting process.

I have attached the file, just extract the whole folder (android.tether) out of the zip file, and place it on your SDcard.

So, the path of the file should appear as the following

/sdcard/android.tether/fw_bcm4329.bin
[Droid Incredible Android Development] silverxbv2:
No worries. I've been the off topic guy enough to know to avoid it. Just 2.2 questions. HTC told me that LG used to hot rod there bluetooth with crazy functions added in. I always thought the bluetooth profiles were the same from phone to phone if they were the same version.
[Droid Incredible Android Development] oldman_58:
No Luck Here

Base band would not update still at 1.XXXXXXX Cleared cache etc...

Going to NANDRIOD back to last working ROM:(
[Droid Incredible Android Development] alexdw369:
I've looked around, and I think this is beyond me, but I'd really like to know how to remove whatever it is that keeps mounting a directory as another drive (CD Drive, particularly) in My Computer under windows. Much like the /emmc folder gets mounted as a disk, something is getting mounted as yet another disc and trying to install modem drivers and such. Pretty much the last thing I want to rid myself of before I'm pretty much completely satisfied with this ROM as-is.
[Droid Incredible Android Development] odlay75:
I got a quick question regarding titanium backup and this rom. So I backed up all my data from 2.1. I installed handcent from the market then went to restore the data from titanium I believe its [SMS/MMS/APN] Dialer Storage So I did that and it totally broke everything.. re-installing now.. So my question is everyone restoring all their 2.1 data or what are the safe ones to restore. I am assuming the 2.1 backups have issues once restored in 2.2???
[Droid Incredible Android Development] psych2l:
Somebody try and see if that wiimote app is working. Maybe htc finally fixed their bluetooth with froyo.

when Im in bootloader to install the ota after I unrooted, it wont let me click on recovery. it just reboots my phone and brings me to a wierd screen with a phone and ! mark kinda thing, what gives?! i used to be able to when i was rooted and now i cant even install the ota zip in order for my camera to work when I eventually flash this rom. i cant figure out whats wrong. help somebody?
[Droid Incredible Android Development] mzmartipants:
Noobs and boobs thanks you :p

Thanks a lot to the person that asked this question and to the person that answered it. I'm not a noob to XDA, (been here since I owned the T-mobile Wing, but I'm trying to block that out of my memory), but this is my first android/droid device so getting around the device is a bit foreign.

I was actually having the same problem, but I didn't post about it, since a lot of noobish questions get flamed. Once I got past this problem it was SMOOTH SAILING! :)

It's nice to see someone being kind instead of annoyed. THANKS.
[Droid Incredible Android Development] joecredible1:
haha as soon as i posted that i decided to try that and it worked, its getting late here in california, and i figured it out and why i was supposed to name it update.zip or whatever, time to mess around some more. oh well, tinkering around helps you learn! thanks for the response though! :D
[Droid Incredible Android Development] CaptainTaco:
have to either make a script and run in gscript, or run through adb, either way, it's an easy one liner...

get to shell and su, so if using adb

adb shell
# su
# echo "" > /sys/devices/platform/usb_mass_storage/lun2/file

done

easier...

1. download the free application "gscript" from the market.

2. Run it.

3. Add a new script

4. Name it

5. add

echo "" > /sys/devices/platform/usb_mass_storage/lun2/file

to the body of the script

6. make a shorcut to it on your home screen (long press homescreen, select shorcut, gscript, "NAME OF YOUR SCRIPT"

click it whenever you want to get rid o that crap.

This is temporary until we can find how to get rid of it perm.
[Droid Incredible Android Development] joecredible1:
geeze another problem, probably sleep deprivation again, but I did every step right for the ota zip file, renamed it update.zip, went to recovery screen apply sdcard:update.zip, now it loads halfway and says E:failed to verify whole-life signature E: signature verification failed. Installation Aborted.

Sooooo anyone else having this problem or suggestion to throw at me here?!

:eek:

First testing of a Froyo Rom, I absolutely Love it!

I love the fact that I can login to my mlbtv account and literally watch a baseball game. Sure its choppy, but hey its good quality and it works. and If you watch the video highlights, they are in perfect quality and sync. Im set with my phone, I was waiting to switch to froyo for a while now, didnt want to unless a good camera and very stable version was out. This works perfect for me. Thanks again for the help with the wireless tether. Appreciate it.
