?

I thought Verizon shipped all Incredibles with a microsd usb flash drive. It came in the same package as the 2GB card that came with the phone.
[Droid Incredible Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] DeeBG:
Nope, you just got lucky. Most of us just received a barebones SanDisk 2GB MicroSD card in a plastic case.
[Droid Incredible Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ejkeebler:
Everyone I know received the same thing I did, which is a 2GB MicroSD card with SD card adapter in a plastic case. I have both the ones I got sitting on my desk unopened, so do 3 or 4 of the people I work with.

As to the "not getting into recovery" are you sure you are highlighting recovery? because when you first press down, nothing is probably going to happen until it goes through the little loading thing where it says can't find something in green a few times. then it refreshes the menu and you can actually navigate and highlight different things in the menu, like recovery and push power.....my guess is you are pressing vol down to quickly and pressing power before ensuring recovery is highlighted.
[Droid Incredible Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] texanaustinite:
Try highliting the option below Recovery. Then, press and hold volume up then press power. This will highlite and select Recovery option and will boot it into Recovery.
[Droid Incredible Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] krelvinaz:
FYI

Son's brand new Dinc arrived yesterday with the 2gb MicroSD card already inserted into the card slot of the phone. No MicroSD to SD card holder.
[Droid Incredible Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Asterdroid:
Please don't take this the wrong way (this is for the OP), but I highly recommend you do some more research and reading before you flash any other ROMs, once you get this issue rectified. I hate seeing people brick (or screw up in some other way) their phones. Every time you brick an Incredible, Zombie Jesus kills a kitten.
[Droid Incredible Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] blakestiffler:
if you got a friend with an android phone you could put the file on their sd card then put the sdcard in your phone
[Droid Incredible Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] shoman24v:
If you can't figure this out you shouldn't be messing with this root stuff.
[Droid Incredible Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] :
Could you use the original root method (race condition during boot) to get to adb shell and mount sdcard?
[Droid Incredible Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Duckbone Apps:
I did not receive an adapter OR an SD card. Damn crooks!
[Droid Incredible Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] vbhines:
No offense, I don't quite believe that you can't get into Recovery. What you're describing would require flashing part of the Android core that, I don't believe, ANY tool will let you flash.

1. Boot into the Bootloader.

2. Wait 10 seconds.

3. Press the Power button once.

4. Wait about 30 seconds.

5. This will allow it to not find the zip image and then settle.

6. Press volume down once.

7. Press Power once.

The directions given to you earlier, if followed literally rather than with experience, won't take you into Recovery. Alternately, if you can get to Fastboot, I think:

adb reboot recovery

Will take you there anyway.
[Droid Incredible Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Oddity:
Yeah I didn't get an SD card with mine either.
[Droid Incredible Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] :
I think using adb to get to recovery is the best approach. Although I will say that I have some concern about the validity of the recovery (personally, not enough experience with the underlying architecture, but if you can change the recovery - CWM, is it not possible for that change to become corrupt?). But given you haven't yet tried all/any of the variety of steps presented and you can get hboot/fastboot, you don't have a brick.
[Droid Incredible Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] liquidbud:
This is the kind of thing that happens when people don't do the requisite research before jumping off the cliff into root/ROM territory. This is quite an expensive device to be so hasty in modding. Take an hour and thoroughly read through the forum posts pertaining to these tools before you even think of attempting to modify your Incredible.
[Droid Incredible Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] texanaustinite:
I received my DInc just last Friday and it came with a little, itty-bitty 2gb card. I put that in my daughter's phone and slapped my 16GB card into the DInc.

24GB (internal + external) and no where near full... need more movies. :D
[Droid Incredible Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Fretless:
Not if he cant get into recovery. The race condition is dependent on tricking adb into continuing its process in recovery, which is where you get root access for the first time. He'll have more luck just spending the 15 bucks it takes to find a microsd reader, and RUU'ing the phone.
[Droid Incredible Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Ruoh:
The OP needs to change the thread title to something more applicable, "I bricked my phone, please help" or some such.
[Droid Incredible Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Fretless:
A big question for the |OP|. Did you install the OTA leak? That changes the whole RUU game if you did.
[Droid Incredible Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] borgey420:
you can still ruu i did it the other day. you just have to do a few commands before you can ruu or flash a stock PB31IMG.zip
[Droid Incredible Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Fretless:
Yeah after I posted this remark I found a method. Neat.
[Droid Incredible Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] cooksalot:
Heck! I didn't even get a case to put mine in. I had to check the phone to see if I got one or not before I charged the thing. (in case I had to go to the Verizon store and be upset at them):rolleyes:
[Droid Incredible Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] 11BE-5:
Thanks for all the reply's, I got it fixed using the RUU, it worked like a dream. Your probably right about doing more research, I'm an eris guy (which I can mess with like a champ) that was helping my bro with his Inc, the inc is a bit different tho and

isn't exactly like an eris I found. But I learned my lesson, although I'm still not sure what was going on with the recovery not working. But thank you for all your responses its much appreciated.
[Droid Incredible Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] DoHNuT555:
Just go out and buy a micro usb reader from walmart they arent even ten dollars and are super useful for times like these
[Droid Incredible Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] btpowers:
Burnt hand teaches best. Most of us have had one of those "Oh Sh!t" moments, I've had my share on the 6800 and the incredible. When it happens, just read through the threads, 9 times out of 10 you can find a similar situation that was resolved (and no one will ever need to know about your "Oh Sh!t" moment but you). Never let em see you sweat.
[Droid Incredible Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Yodes:
Thread hijack alert (but why post a new thread on this?) :D

Does this PB31IMG.zip allow us to restore to factory no matter what? Is it something that will allow us to recover from a bricked phone regardless of how we bricked it?
[Droid Incredible Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] gmonox:
I'm pretty sure if your phone is truly bricked, it's not possible to recover from, period. But like someone (I forget who) said, if you can get to system menus, it's likely recoverable.
[Droid Incredible Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] greyflow:
I'm pretty sure the only way to brick an Incredible is by screwing up while flashing HBOOT. Nobody outside of Unrevoked (the group itself) is doing that right now.
[Droid Incredible Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] GMK83:
Flashing the radio twice will brick your phone.
[Droid Incredible Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] greyflow:
Is that just with a diff patch, like the leaked OTA, or will a full radio image do that too?
[Droid Incredible Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] siriusinPA:
Never mind, figured out. Please ignore.
[Droid Incredible Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] iowabowtech:
I'm running the 7/27 leak. I can't just go to stock with the PB31IMG alone? What extra steps are required in my case? Is this referring to downgrading hboot first?
[HD2 General] ruwan7:
Hi Guys,

While searching for solutions to unbrick my HD2 TMOUS i came across this gadget.

It connects to the HD2's PCB directly without soldering. this connection adapter is available at http://www.multi-com.pl/index.php/en_US,details,id_pr,7912,menu_mode,categories.html which costs around $16. but the expensive part is the adapter that connects to the PC to flash the phone. this costs $229. http://www.multi-com.pl/index.php/en_US,details,id_pr,6503,menu_mode,categories.html

Its all expensive for an individual to buy these gadgets. but there is probably people or service centers who own these.

Do you know of any place where we can get this phones unbricked other than the HTC service centers?
[HD2 General] Scabes24:
Cool, looks like something that could be very useful.
[HD2 General] ruwan7:
Cool.. i knew somebody should be having it around here.. keep us updated..
[HD2 General] Scabes24:
Will do.. I guess the device is as bricked as it can possibly be
[HD2 General] giotown:
what about riff jtag?

looks like a less expensive alternative...

anyone unbrick using this?
[HD2 General] kenshinz:
I just think only the JTAG can do it..

but who can try it?
[HD2 General] Scabes24:
Users have been discussing RIFF over here
[HD2 General] EXEC/JASJAR:
...I'm an Engineer; who has successfully unbricked a few HTC Universals using JTAG. I'm waiting for some bricked HD2's to come in the mail..I will reply with outcome sometime in the next few weeks...

Hello,

I've a bricked HTC HD2 1024LEO from US T-mobile I've unlocked and I've 2.02 ROM but can't anymore change... Can someone help me, I live in Belgium...
[HD2 General] ana_ye:
I also have bricked HD2 LEO phone and I need the full dump to flash it with jtag since it can not enter to boot mode anymore. and the SPL area is damaged too, now the only solution is to full flash it with JTAG.

I already have the ORT JTAG tool and the phone is connected OK to the JTAG interface but I do not have the full dump for this phone.

will be grat if anyone can send the full dump for it so that it can be revive, I already tried to search for the full dump but it is not there.

Best Regards
[HD2 General] OndraSter:
SPL is required at least partially to work in order to have JTAG working.
[HD2 General] BesTCooL:
no need full dump enter support and download repair file .ort after uplaod..
[HD2 General] ana_ye:
I already tried the repair file from support area (there are three differant files and I tried them all) and it did not help because the phone have been flashed with HD2 512 dump file by mistake. now to revive it I need the full dump for 1024 version.

Best Regards.
[HD2 General] hd2_2010:
what's the outcome of the unbricking? I also have recently bricked mine and am in need of help.
[HD2 General] BesTCooL:
if u have try with Riff

ı will try for u read full dump but ı think it take very log time may be 12 hour full dump..

http://www.bestjtag.com/wp-content/uploads/IMAG0227.jpg
[HD2 General] nznewb:
I've used the Riff Box on my T-Mobile HD2. I'm not an electrical engineer so I also used the Multi-Com HD2 USA PCB. This worked perfectly and my device turned on again after three weeks being dead.

Cost me a lot for the postage of both items seperately to New Zealand (about NZ$120). There is a brick fix dll for the HD2 so its just a matter of reading the instructions and forums carefully before attempting the ressurection.

I suppose I would be happy to help anyone living on this side of the world.
[HD2 General] satellite000:
yes it worcks

hi guys i did try the jiff jtag and it works , i contacted the guys at multicom and i send my phone there , they fix it and now it works perfect , all that i can say to you is please be more careful

good luck
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] starscars4:
when I run quadrant it says my phone has an ARM v7....thought the EVO had qualcomm snapdragon....
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] dglowe343:
I believe that's our version of Snapdragon. I'm pretty sure the nexus and incredible versions are different.
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] SharkUW:
ARM doesn't make processors. They design and license. Snapdragon is an ARMv7 based processor.
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] SharkUW:
I believe Snapdragon does refer to a line based on ARMv7, but I'm unsure what distinguishes the EVOs CPU from other Snapdragons.
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] starscars4:
Oh ok....I'm just disappointed because after the group ota....my benchmark fell below the Droid x......*tear*
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] cloud858rk:
ARMv7 is a specification made by ARM. The Droid X has a Cortex-A8 processor; he EVO, Incredible, and Nexus One have Snapdragon processors. Both are based on the AMRv7 spec, so they are ARMv7 processors. The Galaxy S phones have Samsung's Hummingbird processors (ARMv7 as well), which are a bit more powerful than Snapdragons and Cortex-A8s. Speed wise, I think it is Hummingbird > Cortex-A8 > Snapdragon (assuming that they are all at the same clock speed).
[Captivate General] nbs11:
Has anyone else thought there should be just one forum for all the Galaxy S phones? considering they are almost identical it would make sense as long as each phone had a sub forum... Just a unified general forum would be great.
[Captivate General] abezapata:
This has been posted before. This would make sense but although the phones are similar they are not the same. They have differences within them that make mods/roms/developing for them different. Since programs need to be modified for each phone it makes sense to split them up imho.
[Captivate General] Fortune090:
Yes. Especially with hacks. They all tend to affect each of the phones differently. Some work on the Captivate, some more and different ones work on Vibrant, and even more function with the stock i9000's.

Think they have it good the way they have it already. ;)
[Captivate General] tf442:
I have a Vibrant and just came over to this forum to see if I could pick up any good information I haven't seen in the Vibrant forum.

But, I do believe we should keep the forums seperate.
[Captivate General] nbs11:
but there should be one forum where we can cross examine all of our discoveries...IMO
[Captivate General] Citznfish:
One forum would be too confusing. I want captivate and captivate only information. I don't want to sift through other Galaxy S phones.
[Captivate General] nbs11:
ok well I am sifting through the other ones right now and any useful info (to me) I will repost here.

[myTouch 3G, Magic Android Development] qberty:
Now, I apologize in advance for this very...VERY ugly/horrific looking program, but I just whipped it together to save peoples time. I didn't really have too much time to make a typical 'qberty' styled GUI for this app, but it still does what it needs to do. Speaking of which.

The 'Unknown Sources' Enabler

(Don't ask about the background, i don't know why its purple :P)

This application runs on a windows pc. This application allows ANY user with ANY Android ROM with ANY Android phone to enable the 'Unknown Sources' option without physically going there to switch it on.

Why would you want to do that? Well, I first had the need to do this because of a certain ROM (Eagle Eye) that did not even have this option. So this application allows anyone without this option (or just wants to enable US a lot quicker) to do that nice and easy without having to sift through ADB's functions and SQLites confusion.

With an easy click this app will make the change on any android powered device.

Direct Download @ 0m3ga

If more people are actually interested in this a lot more, i will expand on it, depending on user feedback. Otherwise, there are no future release plans.

And also to the people wondering why I keep posting universal applications in this section of the forum. I have an HTC Magic 32A. So, I stick around here 98% of the time, so this is where i post 'em.

[myTouch 3G, Magic Android Development] qberty:
It wont be needed once you patch YOUR rom. But I have seen other people have this problem with some other roms.

Also, a linux version is possible, if more people want it.
[myTouch 3G, Magic Android Development] capychimp:
sorry was not meant to be rude or anything, but yes it was meant that in eagle eye it's fixed in the rom now
[myTouch 3G, Magic Android Development] InsaneJester17:
Would this work on an official ROM? Say, to enable sideloading on a Samsung Captivate where this option isn't in the menus?
[myTouch 3G, Magic Android Development] qberty:
This will work on any ROM, any Device that supports ADB. As stated in the first post, all this does, is enable 'Unknown Sources' for people too lazy to go and enable it themselves or they don't even have that option.

Hi, does anyone know how to permanently change the MAC address on a rooted Nexus One? Thanks.
[Nexus One Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] chesh420:
Considering the root of this file system is linux, it should be pretty similar to this: http://linuxhelp.blogspot.com/2005/09/how-to-change-mac-address-of-your.html

If at all possible. Obviously, change eth0 to whatever is appropriate. Also, you'll probably have to su to do any of the commands.
[Nexus One Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] nachod0g:
Hi, thanks for the reply. I did try that already but after the following command:

ifconfig eth0 hw ether 00:80:48:BA:d1:30

I get this error:

ifconfig: bad address 'hw'

Any ideas?
[Nexus One Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] lenard_hester:
It worked for me. Before you ran that command did you switch to root user?
[Nexus One Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] chesh420:
Also, this won't permanently change it. It'll only change it for your current boot. If you want it to be permanently done, you'll have to put the command into a init.d script.
[Nexus One Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] lenard_hester:
So, I have been looking into and testing this some more and I have found something strange. It seems as though something within android keeps reverting my MAC address back to the real MAC address and I am unable to connect to the network I am trying to connect to (it has MAC address filtering). Any thoughts?

And nachod0g in response to your error, double check and make sure that when you type the command "ifconfig -a | grep HWaddr" that eth0 actually comes up. If WiFi is not enabled, this will not work.
[Droid Incredible General] Yodes:
Just a quick question. I searched but couldn't find what I was looking for. I am wondering about using the wiimote app on 2.2.

Because froyo will be fixing BT voice dialing i figured something with the BT must be changing. Will this change allow me to use wiimotes now? Thanks in advance for the replies.

[HD2 Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting and Genera] boyhandsome:
I heard that current android rom for HD2 is actually a simulater over WM. So there are some restrictions i.e. the screen color is still 65K please advise whether there is a PURE android rom for HD2, thanks. I am wonder whether wait for HTC Desire HD or buy HD2 now.
[HD2 Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting and Genera] jjones1983:
Short answer, no there is not. Long answer, they have come surprisingly far in porting Android to the HD2 but there is still a lot of work to be done. The developers here are flat out amazing for making it as far as they have in as short a time as they have but as of right now no it's not a "pure" ROM if by pure you mean replaces WinMo. It currently only runs off of your SDcard and shuts down the Windows Kernel to boot the Linux Kernel... But like I said, it really seems like they're not far off from what you're inquiring about which I can only assume is a NAND version.
[HD2 Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting and Genera] Wrathlon:
It has been stated several times now that it is NOT EMULATED. Haret shuts down the Windows Kernel and starts up the Linux kernel. There is no trace of Windows running. It's done this way for several reasons - No touching the internal memory of the phone whilst in beta to prevent bricking, easier to apply rapid updates and the main reason is that it's still needed to initialise hardware.

As for the screen color, that's a physical hardware limitation. The LCD Panel is a 65k Panel. You can't change that.
[HD2 Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting and Genera] jjones1983:
And yeah, as far as the color limitation... What HE said, heh.
[HD2 Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting and Genera] boyhandsome:
Thanks for your reply!
[HD2 Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting and Genera] aenedor:
Hi, it is not a simulator or an emulator.

However, it is started from windows currently whilst development continues.

Once development is complete I assume it will be available to boot from the phones internal rom (nand).
