Clarification to Instructions:

Thanks for the great guide. There was a possible missing step that caused an verification error when trying to install the unrevoked forever zip. Perhaps you can add:

If you get a Verification Failed Error Message, try Selecting "Advanced" from the green menu and Select Reboot Recovery.

As added below:

Section 2 "Nand unlocking"

Step 1: Go into "Rom Manager" app.

Step 2: Select "Reboot into Recovery"

ADD ====>>> A triangle and a green droid will appear. Hit the power button once.

Step 3: The green text menu will appear upon reboot.

Select "install zip from sdcard" (Note: You can use your optical trackball to move around the menu, then press it to make a selection.)

ADD =====>>> If you get a verification error and install failure, try selecting "Advanced" from the green menu and Select Reboot Recovery and try again.

You should also add this to section 4B as well (Installing Froyo Roms)

so im trying to run unrevoked3 and when phone goes to reboot unrevoked says "communications with phone unexpectedly interrupted. try again."

I am running windows 7 64bit. could someone please help resolve this issue?

I also uninstalled htc sync and htc driver installer
[Droid Incredible Android Development] Berzerker7:
You should update for a complete return to stock, the steps are as follows:

1. RUU to stock 2.1

2. flash clockwork mod

3. use the S-ON tool

4. RUU back to stock again.
[Droid Incredible Android Development] dadicus:
I have not messed around with going back to stock so I am unsure what some of this means. What is RUU? Also the only way I have ever flashed clockwork mod is via unrevoked3, so I will need to know the method you are referring to here.

I did find the S-ON tool finally and will add that to the guide. However I really need direct links to the RUU stock 2.1 and a quick tutorial on flashing clockwork mod in a means other than using Unrevoked3.

If you are able to get that information to me, I will update the guide ASAP. Thanks a lot.

After I have finished correcting the incorrect and updated information I will consider adding new sections like theming and custom bootloaders and also a step by step guide to installing Ubuntu Linux.

How do I format my sd card to fat 32 on my mac??

[Droid Incredible Android Development] JeeperDon:
I read this thread and didn't see a crisp reply for my situation.

I did the unrEVOker3 root on my original stock And 2.1, then just started trying a few froyo ROMs. I tried a few Skyraider ones and now am at Virtuous 2.3. I never did the nand procedure and now I see I'm still at 1.00 radio (never knew to check before now).

The phone seems to work, but I don't want a time bomb in there. Should I be at a higher radio? Since this is the official procedures thread, How do I get there from this point? If I need to go back to a And2.1 or whatever, please point me to the right things to download.
[Droid Incredible Android Development] dadicus:
If it ain't broke, don't fix it. You should be fine with an old radio if everything is working out for you fine. However if you want to upgrade your radio anyway, just start at section 2, nand unlocking and follow through that and section 3.

If i had already upgrade to 2.2 using the update.zip but have decided to root anyway., would there be any difference to the instructions. When I run unrevoked3 I get a failed to flash recovery image error. Not sure if it's because I upgrade to 2.2.
[Droid Incredible Android Development] rmd0311:
It seems like... From watching it reboot, at one point its waiting for the phone to reboot and gives up... So it them dishes out that error.
[Droid Incredible Android Development] rmd0311:
Alright well., just looked at the unrevoked site and it says it clear as day, does not support 2.2 Froyo. I wonder if anyone does have an easy way to go back to 2.1. I have looked but all the info I see is, if you are already rooted.
[Droid Incredible Android Development] syrguy1969:
OK...I am stuck. My phone was rooted and then I had problems loading a kernel and ROM resulting in what I thought was a brick. I got a recovery ROM that seemed to work, but eventhough I still have s-off I can't get it to root so I can get to recovery and have superuser and root apps.

Not getting any errors, just stuck at 'waiting for reboot'.

Anyone?
[Droid Incredible Android Development] rcbarr:
Thank you rmd0311

Thank you rmd0311, you trend setter you. I was about to do the very thing you did starting with the same configuration. I believe the message of the day is, wait until the unrevoke guys have the code for 2.2

Good luck on your recovery, albeit with everything I have read, I don't think you at all "bricked" your phone, the question is now, what next to get it back to where you want/need it to be.

I followed this procedure to "root" my froya here (thread created by regaw_leinad): thread number 765496

I think this give you root but not NAND-unlock. At this point I am staying put until (1) we have a way to revert to stock (in case I need sprint support) and (2) unrevoke has come out with a flavor for froya 2.2
[Droid Incredible Android Development] rcbarr:
Ryan I have to ask, speaking of the 500 that downloaded the flawed code, was there a way to recover?
[Droid Incredible Android Development] INTREPID-NY:
Try another USB port and make sure you're not using a hub. If that doesn't work, it's Likely a driver issue. Try this driver: http://www.unrevoked.com/rootwiki/doku.php?id=public:windows_hboot_driver_install

Did you format the sdcard to 32 bit? It will not let you update your radio with the file I gave unless you have rooted and unlocked your nand.

[Droid Incredible Android Development] Gornul:
Did all this just fine on my own phone a week ago. Trying it now with the wife's... Trying to update the radio. Put the .zip on the sdcard (not installed, just on the card) and powered the phone down. It vibrated several times. Now it will not turn on, and the green LED is blinking steadily every 3-4 seconds. Help?

Edit: Man I should really just skip to the end of the thread and see who was just discussing my exact same problem...
[Droid Incredible Android Development] IncredibleDiggity:
help?

I originally rooted my HTC Incredible with these instructions:

h t t p://w w w.androidcentral.com/droid-incredible-root-instructions-now-available

Now I am trying to use your instructions to add a custom recovery and unlock nand, but am not having any luck. Heres what is happening:

at section 1 step 8, I am not in recovery, the phone simply boots all the way up.

Assuming this might have been a update to the program since your post, I tried continuing on as if that were normal, and when I get to step 19, When Rom manager reboots the phone, it apparrently tries to load something (I'm assuming the custom recovery), i get through about 1/4 of the progress bar, then it shows a pda with a question mark above it for a few seconds, followed by yellow writing that says "failed to verify whole file signature" and "signature verification failed" then boots normally. After running Rom manager again, I get a Recovery broken message and have tried all the suggestions that are listed by the app.

Also if I try to go into recovery manually, the stock recovery is what comes up, with following error at bottom: E:Can't open /cache/recovery/command

I tried doing a factory reset, and starting over with the same results... Any ideas?
[Droid Incredible Android Development] dadicus:
Run unrevoked3 again and skip step 18 all together, not needed anymore. That should fix it.
[Droid Incredible Android Development] dadicus:
The Amon_RA section has been completed. Anyone wishing to try that recovery out, give it a go. I'm liking it so far.
[Droid Incredible Android Development] dadicus:
Section 8, installing a custom splash is now finished. Enjoy.

So i rooted and upgraded with this thread

xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=737400

And now I have the 2.15 radio, s-on, and some froyo rom. Can I still use the method for unrooting and downgrading back to stock 2.1, even though I have s-on and don't care if I will lose root from the official straight from big red OTA update? Seen some people touch on s-on, but no one actually comes to any conclusion.

Just install this file via HBOOT and you should be good.

Hi all-

So, I had a strange signal problem in my apartment; a friend suggested that I do a radio update / root install to see if updating the radio would fix the problem. It didn't, and now I need to Warranty replace my phone.

I currently have Skyraider ROM 2.5.2 Sense and Baseband v. 2.0500.06.11.

Posting here because the section on "returning your phone to stock" is crossed out in the original post.

Could anyone direct me to steps to revert my phone to stock without root?
[Droid Incredible Android Development] dadicus:
Just do exactly what I told the guy right before you to do. Install that file via HBOOT.
[Droid Incredible Android Development] Jnai:
OK. Thanks. And that will take me back to Stock and remove root?
[Droid Incredible Android Development] dadicus:
Yes.
[Droid Incredible Android Development] Jnai:
When I go to do that, I get the message:

"Main version is older!

Update Fail!

Do you want to reboot device?

VOL UP: YES

VOL DOWN: NO"

Any advice?
[Droid Incredible Android Development] dadicus:
Hmmmm, sounds like it won't work unless it is s-off. Well I can't provide any more help with your particular problem. I am still working out the kinks of how to downgrade. Look around xda, there has to be another guide on the subject. If you figure it out, let me know.

Section 8-Splash screen change

I am currently running the lastest Fresh 3.2. I've already did the usb Debugging and everythiung that I need to do. But no matter what I do, I cant seem to get the Splash screen to change. I just keep getting the Fresh Splash screen. What else can I do to get this to work? What am I doing wrong? I've even d/l the app in the market that is a splash screen changer as well. DOESN'T WORK. I don't know what else to do.

Please help!
[Droid Incredible Android Development] dadicus:
Make sure you have S-OFF (Nand unlocked) If you have not ran unrevoked-forever, your nand is still locked (S-ON)

Also make sure your sdcard is formatted as FAT32. If it is formatted as anything else, it won't work.

[Droid Incredible Android Development] rhmclay:
I have to return my wifes incredible. I originally rooted her with unrevoked, then did s-off. Prior to the OTA, I went back and added the stock recovery.

Well she received the OTA, and now I need to return it. To do S-On I needed to have a custom recovery, so I put back on clockwordmod, and then ran the S-ON tool. I then tried to use adrynalyne's stock recovery, but when I placed the PB31IMG on the sd card and got into HBOOT, it didn't ask me to update. I then tried to create my own PB31IMG, but using the recovery image from the new 2.2 OTA files (adding in the txt file as well). But that also hasn't worked.

I am a little confused. Do I need to put S-OFF back on to take off the custom recovery? And if I do that, how do I get S-ON back, since it requires a custom recovery. Please help...
[Droid Incredible Android Development] rhmclay:
Well, I re-did S-OFF and then did the stock recovery and that is back. So that is good. But now I am stumped how to get S-OFF without a custom recovery. Anyone have any ideas how to do that?

Step 18: Select "Backup Current ROM" (This is a nandroid backup and will save you countless hours trying to get your phone back to operable status should you mess something up, it will however do nothing to help you if you brick your phone, that's different.)

Once it is done with the backup it will reboot the phone. Congrats, you now have a rooted phone and a backup created!

Also, not important, but why is the text all crossed out in OP in returning to stock? :D

Need help: "can't mount dev block mmcblk0p1"

Thanks for the great guide provided by dadicus. Very clear, very thorough.

Not sure why, but I am having trouble with unrecovered forever. Essentially, I have reformatted my sd card (both with my mac and through the evo function) a number of times. However, when I try to perform a backup in CWM, I get the following error:

"can't mount dev block mmcblk0p1"...

Tried a lot of different ways to get around this but have been unsuccessful. My goal is to perform the rom backup with CWM and proceed as per the guide provided by dadicus, culminating with flashing Cyanogenmod 6.0.

Any help would be much appreciated.

In

Section 6 "Restoring to stock rom and radio" , Step 5: Place the "PB31IMG.zip" file that you downloaded onto the sdcard in the bottom directory., are they referring to the file you download in Step 1 of Section 6 or the PB31IMG.zip at the top of the thread? The reason I ask is that the file downloaded in step 1 of section 6 is named differently and I just wanted to know if that file needs to be renamed.
