!!!!!

Ohh yea.

Should I update my clcokwork mod to the latest?
[Droid Incredible Android Development] Trey_Miller:
*stare* Thank you thank you thank you thank you! Now I can go insane with this joker! Downloading now.:D
[Droid Incredible Android Development] bluewave53:
you and a million other people are wondering the same thing lol :)
[Droid Incredible Android Development] SR3TLAW:
!!!

Im so afraid to try. Who has done it. Its been out a total 10 minutes. haha
[Droid Incredible Android Development] drmbdrummer:
thank you guys as always for all your work on this, I hope I speak for the whole community in saying THANK YOU AND YOU ARE THE BEST :)
[Droid Incredible Android Development] Yodes:
Wooooooooooooooooooooo! Best news ever! Thank you Shadowmite and Unrevoked!
[Droid Incredible Android Development] djkms:
Dont be a sissy, do it!!!:p

Just kidding, really kidding. Just flashed myself, no issues and S-Off - Skyraider 2.2 ROM - they obviously fixed the usb-brick issue - its reading both my sdcard and internal
[Droid Incredible Android Development] jdeer0618:
Done and done...

I took my s-off and now my dog is looking at me funny...

Thanks so much for your hard and never ending work
[Droid Incredible Android Development] drmbdrummer:
These guys wouldn't put it out unless it was as close to perfect as possible; that's why they delayed it to begin with. They are always about safety first ;)
[Droid Incredible Android Development] jgrimberg1979:
Shadowmite and the rest of UnReVoKeD, you f'n rock!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Thank you so much for your hard work. i guess the only thing left for you guys to do for my incredible is to make it waterproof, what is the eta on that?? haha jk you guys rock!!!!
[Droid Incredible Android Development] Bobb_o:
Is there any real reason to do this right now? Like as an average guy who just has his phone rooted and using a custom ROM what are the advantages?
[Droid Incredible Android Development] djkms:
you flash it just like any other update.zip - I would suggest reading the webpage first though, important info on there.
[Droid Incredible Android Development] Yodes:
Just a quick question as I'm not at home ATM but am dying to install this. Has anyone had any success by downloading the update.zip straight to the phone and putting it in the root of SD with a file manager? I just worry that something like this would best be suited for a PC, but like I said I'm dying to try it NOW! :-D
[Droid Incredible Android Development] bluewave53:
so are you saying we shouldn't if were only into flashing custom roms?
[Droid Incredible Android Development] Joe92T:
Where can I get the new 2.15 radio at?

Sent from my HTC Incredible using the XDA App
[Droid Incredible Android Development] JaydenR:
Worked perfectly. Downloaded it from my phone and renamed it update.zip using Astro. Thanks guys.
[Droid Incredible Android Development] danman7:
Okay, quick questions

Based on the statement above, and the rumor that VZW is going to be on the hunt for rooted phones that have been returned and denying them, I have a concern.

If I use unrEVOked Forever, and then update my radio, and flash to Skyraider 2.2 (or anything else that comes up) , will I be able to return the system to bone stock? If so, can someone point me to the documented way to do so.

Much appreciated
[Droid Incredible Android Development] rfarrah:
Ran it and my only hiccup was not renaming the zip from unrevoked forever to update when I put it on my sd card. Thanks, guys!
[Droid Incredible Android Development] the337:
just from my understanding the best thing would probably be to flash the latest "official" radio and then revert back to the stock recovery. since s-off cannot be reversed at this point after doing those two things the only way to really tell should be to put it in hboot and see that it says s-off at the top, everything else would appear normal. that's just my rookie assessment. i could be way off.
[Droid Incredible Android Development] bhazard451:
As much as I would like to flash the unrevoked splash screen, it's a dead giveaway if you have to return your phone and the unrevoked screen pops up and hangs.
[Droid Incredible Android Development] ardax:
So is the fact that it boots S-OFF, which we can't undo yet.
[Droid Incredible Android Development] iowabowtech:
I just don't get this part of the instructions:

When doing updates, be sure to flash all partitions at the same time. For instance, on Incredible, running a 0.92 hboot and a 2.15 radio with a 2.6.29 Linux kernel will result in the system becoming unusable until reflashed.

So...how can we be sure to flash all partitions at the same time?

How do we know for sure that everything is compatible every time we flash a new radio or ROM or kernel

?

This is the only thing keeping me from installing. If I could truly wrap my mind around this concept I think I'd be more comfortable.
[Droid Incredible Android Development] Empedox:
Thank you very much! That worked for me this morning.
[Droid Incredible Android Development] unreal2k:
same here... i'm not sure what the update future looks like and how confusing things might get with compatibility. Not to mention there is no way to remove S-OFF yet.

But this is really some hard work. You guys are amazing! Thank you for all you do for the community.
[Droid Incredible Android Development] mothy:
so this means we can start using metamorph?

Thanks, I just did it on Sky Raider 2.0.1 and everything is running fine. Took 5 seconds.
[Droid Incredible Android Development] ktownhero:
I have downloaded the file, placed it on the root of my SD, and renamed it update.zip. When I try to flash the file I get the error "E:Signature Verification Failed" and it aborts.

I am running a rooted Incredible with CM6 Test 8, Clockwork Recovery, and the stock radio. Any ideas?
[Droid Incredible Android Development] mothy:
Select Toggle Signature verification in recovery and try again. I had to do this and everything worked fine.
[Droid Incredible Android Development] ktownhero:
I saw that but was afraid to do it. I updated to the newest version of Clockwork and it worked fine!
[Droid Incredible Android Development] bhazard451:
If you can get it to boot, which probably means you wont be returning it :)

The majority of Verizon store employees wont know what s-off is or even notice, but a different splash screen that is stuck would be a killer.
[Droid Incredible Android Development] greno1:
So I've currently got Unrevoked 3 with Wireless Tether working, 1.00.03.04.06 radio, no custom ROM.

Is one of the purposes of Unrevoked Forever to let me take the upcoming 2.2 OTA and still retain root access? Or should I still hold off on installing the OTA when it's released?

-Gregg
[Droid Incredible Android Development] johnnyc418:
I've got a problem. I just installed this and my phone is stuck in a reboot loop. Any ideas?
[Droid Incredible Android Development] supremex3:
Did you follow all the instructions/read them carefully from this site?

unrevoked.c om/rootwiki/doku.php/public/forever

There are somethings in there that said, if you have this.. don't do it... like the following:

■Review the output to determine if there were any errors.

■If messages beginning in E: appear, stop! If possible, join IRC for support.

You should follow the instructions line by line...
[Droid Incredible Android Development] johnnyc418:
There were no errors, I followed everything exactly like it said. As soon as I get to the Droid Eye, my phone reboots.
[Droid Incredible Android Development] avenator14:
boot loop after unrevoked forever and hydra v0.5

ok so I, like most members of this forum, have just recently done unrevoked forever (I also installed the custom splash if that matters). after that, i installed the new hydra v0.5 kernel stock undervolt. now i go to reboot after installing zip from sd card and now i am stuck in a boot loop. is anyone else experiencing this, and how do i get out of it?
[Droid Incredible Android Development] bhazard451:
Did you install hydra's overclock kernel? If so, flash back to a non OC one.
[Droid Incredible Android Development] supremex3:
Hi, there is another message thread with Hydra- i think they confirm that it will not work with unrevoked forever and the new radio

From that thread: (i can't copy link, im still new)

@ejhart

On the positive side, I can successfully flash these modular kernels, which is awesome, thanks for that. I get a boot loop much later at the Verizon splash screen. Is there any chance you can compile some modular versions of the old kernel? I don't plan on updating to 2.2 until the official ROM.

(For reference, I have a bad boot partition memory block and the pre-modular kernels were too big for the good memory space I had.)

I can also confirm this. My phone got stuck in boot loop.
[Droid Incredible Android Development] jitajt:
Flash a new kernel, he has 4 variations of the OC kernels and you need to find the one that works with your phone. I think that it is up to V9 now if you are using the new radio and froyo.

I am running froyo, the new radio, and S-off with the newest 1.113 ocuv kernel just fine.
[Droid Incredible Android Development] johnnyc418:
I don't have any custom kernels. All I had was a custom ROM. I've tried reinstalling the ROM, but I get the same result.
[Droid Incredible Android Development] avenator14:
EDIT: nvm. i reread your post. thanks for the help
[Droid Incredible Android Development] Milton1964:
well I could tell you that I'm running sky raider 2.2. Have installed the revoked for ever, have installed the new hydra 115 kernel, and my Incredible is running smooth and everything working.
[Droid Incredible Android Development] Milton1964:
also put new updated radio 215
[Droid Incredible Android Development] TheColorRed:
Custom splash screen is custom.

/smile
[Droid Incredible Android Development] jitajt:
Yes the new 2.15 radio and froyo. If your using the stock radio with 2.1 update1 then I think the hydra kernels break the camera.
[Droid Incredible Android Development] jkocr2:
running smooth! ocuv 1.15

current config: unrevoked forever, 2.15 radio update, skyraider 2.2
[Droid Incredible Android Development] yojoe600:
mine works as well with new hydra kernels and 2.15 radio
[Droid Incredible Android Development] Stericson:
Ok, I'm going to post this in a few threads going on here....

This thread came under scrutiny because it was reported as information that should not have been released. Now, in the past I have defended Unrevoked by removing such threads.

NO MORE will I do this!

Unrevoked obviously has some problems containing information. That is NOT XDA's problem. This is an issue unrevoked needs to address and solve on their own.

XDA is not a forum that censors information, we live and thrive on leaked information and hacking and deving stuff. Since this is true, I personally will not support removing things that shouldn't be leaked unless directed by higher level management.

This thread was moved temporary while we were investigating the matter. I now consider this matter closed and resolved and have stated my official opinion on this subject matter.

Also, to clarify, in this case unrevoked did not leak anything, in fact the entire report about this leak had nothing to do with unrevoked as I am being told by an unrevoked team member....

But the bottom line point is this...

It is not XDA's job to censor leaked information. I would say 80-90% of the dev stuff we work on here at XDA are based on leaked information. We are not going to pick and choose what leaked information we will or will not censor.

Furthermore, the thread by unrevoked shoul;d not have been moved, that has been rectified however. The thread was NEVER deleted so NO information was lost.

Please lets consider this issue closed.
[Droid Incredible Android Development] h0x90:
thanks shadow and unrevoked.

:D time to theme!
[Droid Incredible Android Development] samwathegreat:
Happy to see this back and unlocked. :)

-samwathegreat
[Droid Incredible Android Development] TheColorRed:
I appreciate all the work you guys have been doing.
[Droid Incredible Android Development] heliotropeUCSD:
I understand the purpose of this tool.

My question is : Can I restore back to a previous radio if I flash the new radio in order to run the 2.2 OTA leak? Even better- can I flash a new released radio after the official update to 2.2? I only take rooting steps (minus the potential s-off bits) that I can step backward on, so that I have a phone that looks "stock" to the highly untrained eye if needed.
[Droid Incredible Android Development] mozetti:
There is currently no way to get back to a state of s-on, so you can't "undo" this after it's done. Right now, s-off is a one way street or, pardon the pun ... forever
[Droid Incredible Android Development] h0x90:
He's wondering if he can undo radio update not s-on.

If anyone knows please reply I'm curious as well
[Droid Incredible Android Development] heliotropeUCSD:
hahaha yeah, yeah, I understand and accept that. If it gives me the ability to choose different radios at will- i.e. go from 2.x radio back to stock, or whatever, then S-OFF is fine with me. Forever. Clever, the way they named that, huh?
[Droid Incredible Android Development] cuban11182:
Yes you should be able to reflash an older radio. At least that is what I was told. I currently have the 2.15, but have the original one that shipped with the phone, just in case.
[Droid Incredible Android Development] heliotropeUCSD:
Any chance of somebody trying that out? I want to know if the issue where you could not go back to stock radio for OTA is resolved.
[Droid Incredible Android Development] fezzik77:
I imagine the issue remains with going back. The problem was that the HBoot version is newer and it won't let you update to an older HBoot. This may solve that by not checking that part but my understanding is what it doesn't check is the security signature. Meaning it doesn't matter if it is signed or not but might still check the version.

I installed a recovery rom after doing this ( I can't believe I did this, this is the first time I have ever installed a non-un-doable thing and I can't say it doesn't scare me just a little but I also have to say it intrigues me) and it paused on checking MD5 for a while basically did nothing and then moved on. I basically just did it to be on the safe side about the reflashing stuff. Don't know what it means so I just did it. Now I must say it went wicked fast but I have an overclocked kernel now too. Probably need to slow down now cause I am wading in real deep now.

Feels good.
[Droid Incredible Android Development] dreamersipaq:
size

Hey, it's only 192kb?

Shadowmite... just a suggestion. Post an md5sum so we can verify the update wasn't garbled during dowload.

Thanks!
[Droid Incredible Android Development] Asterdroid:
Always back everything up and have a backup plan. You'll be fine :)
[Droid Incredible Android Development] heliotropeUCSD:
Stock recovery rom?

You mean you installed a stock recovery? Did you go backwards on the radio?
[Droid Incredible Android Development] anicotra:
Yea, I noticed that too. Is it really only 192K download. Seems like a lot, for so little.
[Droid Incredible Android Development] dreamersipaq:
I took the plunge anyway.... Now have S-Off. It really is only 192kb.... wow.
[Droid Incredible Android Development] LTL11:
Ok, s-off worked.

I flashed the 2.15 radio as well but I cannot get the custom Unrevoked boot animation to stick.

I put the dl in the root of my sdcard, power off and use hboot to recognize it. The status bar shows that it is installing but when I reboot the normal Dinc screen appears.

I know it is not a FAT32 issue as the radio flashed fine.

Any ideas?
[Droid Incredible Android Development] Fretless:
is there any way that you can back up your stock splash screen in case you need to take it in? I wanna show some love to unrevoked, but i also want to cover my bases.
[Droid Incredible Android Development] overground:
If it's anything like the Nexus, and I'm correct in assuming you're trying to backup the stock boot animation (sorry, never played with a Dinc), and adb works as it should, and you're using WinBlows try this:

adb remount
adb pull /system/media/bootanimation.zip C:\ #for exapmle <or any other directory on your PC you want to put it>
[Droid Incredible Android Development] zalez:
He means splash, not boot animation. The white screen that says "HTC Incredible". there is a stock img in the themes forum.
[Droid Incredible Android Development] LTL11:
I meant splash, not boot animation.
[Droid Incredible Android Development] s197:
Thanks so much unrevoked!

I hate adb so much! It's great to finally have our phones "freed."
[Droid Incredible Android Development] overground:
Ahh...sorry, I'll stick to Nexus hacking and Dinc moderation....Nexus hacking is much easier than the moderation. :D
[Droid Incredible Android Development] jdmba:
Grrrr

I am jealous of all of you. I am on day # 3 of my THIRD Incredible, and I can't flash anything which is a one way street for the foreseeable future.
[Droid Incredible Android Development] s197:
Two questions.

For the mods, why was the thread regarding the 2.15 baseband closed?

For everyone:

Edit: Nevermind, read it wrong, just a question about the thread that was locked.
[Droid Incredible Android Development] voidunknown:
I haven't seen this posted anywhere, so I'll ask. Since we have 2.15 radio as an image and S_OFF now, is there any reason we still have to wipe the device when installing the stock leaked 2.2 update?

In theory couldn't you install S_OFF, then update your radio to 2.15, followed by the 8/1 froyo leak?

I'm new to Android, so please keep the flames to a minimum. ;)
[Droid Incredible Android Development] overground:
The discussion on the baseband was closed at the OP's request.
[Droid Incredible Android Development] s197:
Thanks for the quick response overground.

I'm assuming then that it wasn't due to breaking any sort of rules and it would be kosher to open another one? I'm sure people want to discuss the benefits/issues of the new baseband.
[Droid Incredible Android Development] overground:
No rules were broken. If the OP wishes, I'll gladly reopen.

EDIT: If you do start a new thread on the subject, please do so in Dinc General sub. Thanks.
[Droid Incredible Android Development] SimonTuffGuy:
The biggest concern here for me is the possibility of not being able to go back S-ON in the event that I need to return the phone for warranty or anything.

Any update from the unrevoked team if there is a way to S-ON again? Likely will flash it anyways... :P
[Droid Incredible Android Development] gmonox:
From the unrEVOked forever wiki:

We have not yet developed a tool to reset the phone to S-ON. In the future, we may create one; in the interim, you should not rely on the existence of such a tool.

So I wouldn't count on it, although they may end up developing one. But to be honest I'm not sure how many VZ employees are gonna reboot your phone into the bootloader to check for S-ON if you have trouble with it ;)
[Droid Incredible Android Development] the337:
did you read the wiki?
[Droid Incredible Android Development] SimonTuffGuy:
Sure did; read through the majority of this thread as well... Just saying... Being able to S-ON would make me do this without thinking about it. Not being able to go back concerns me.
[Droid Incredible Android Development] Lamadawg:
TY for posting it.
[Droid Incredible Android Development] obededom:
you can open it if Sterricson is cool with it...I just didn't want it to be a flame fest, we're past that now (hopefully)
[Droid Incredible Android Development] ogre150:
I might have missed this, but I tried to remove an app using better terminal and it says that /system/app is read only and won't uninstall. What should I use to remove apps from the phone with OS running? Or do I have to adb shell it to my PC?

P.S. Thanks to unrEVOked for all the hard work you put in to bring us s-off.:D

edit: While not able to remove with better terminal emulator I found another thread that said I can use Titanium to remove them. Sure enough that worked.

Thanks
[Droid Incredible Android Development] debosmebo:
I have a rooted incredible with clockworkmod. I changed the unrevoked-forever.zip to update.zip and apply:update.zip, its does its thing, no errors. But s-on. Any ideas? update.zip is on root of my sdcard, my card is good, fat32, battery full, there is no update.zip.zip.
[Droid Incredible Android Development] s197:
You don't need to rename it. Just put it at the root of your SD and flash via Clockwork like you would any other ROM/Kernel/etc.
[Droid Incredible Android Development] LTL11:
Sounds like the same issue I am having with the custom splash screen. Was able to get s off and new radio done but splash does nothing.
[Droid Incredible Android Development] rpearl:
Pastebin the contents of /sdcard/soff.log
[Droid Incredible Android Development] debosmebo:
thanks. that did the trick.
[Droid Incredible Android Development] velopirate:
The file has to be on the root of your SD card and you have to install this from HBOOT (hold Volume Down while powering on).
[Droid Incredible Android Development] zeke1988:
im scared to do this and need help. here is what im going to do.

1. download Forever

2. place it on the root of SD card (FAT32)

3. boot into CWM recovery and choose Forever as the update file.

4. after the update is finish, reboot.

radio update

1. download radio img.

2. place it on the root of SD card (FAT32)

3. boot into Hboot, down vol DOWN and Power when the phone turned off

Am I doing it right? also, does the overclock kernel compatible with this?
[Droid Incredible Android Development] SimonTuffGuy:
Looked through this entire post, but didn't see it. Anyone have a preview of the unrevoked startup screen image? I tried opening in Photoshop, but it didn't work...
[Droid Incredible Android Development] jhendrickson:
Wanted to share my experiences thus far.

I rooted with unrevoked 3 this morning.

Flashed the 2.05 baseband.

Flashed Sky Raider 2.2.

Ran it for the afternoon. All was well.

Tonight I flashed /forever. No issues.

Then I flashed the 2.15 baseband. Flawless.

I just flashed #1 Overclocked Undervolted 1.15ghz v1.0 Hydra Kernel. No issues thus far. I have not had this on my phone for very long.

Quadrant: 1305

Linpack: 39 MFLOPS

Will update if and when I encounter issues.

THANK YOU unrEVOked team!

return to stock before forever?

I can't being the only one wondering. If we flashed the ota leak radio should be revert to stock hboot before flashing the forever files?
[Droid Incredible Android Development] kentoe:
No you should be able to use this tool from any hboot/radio/rom currently if rooted and that has a CW recovery.
[Droid Incredible Android Development] najaboy:
As per the unrevoked forerver page which explicitly states the answer... no, you do not need to.
[Droid Incredible Android Development] spazzxb:
thanks, i must have overlooked it. Thanks to the guy above you for helping me first.
