interesting... I followed steps 1 2 3 and 4b by downloading sky raider 2.5.2 without choosing any wipe delete option and it seems everything turned out alright. is there something i should check to make sure the rom install is good to go?
[Droid Incredible General] dadicus:
Don't fix it if it isn't broken. Some roms you will get luck on without a wipe.

kernel update

Could you add to your guide directions to update the kernel? i believe after you are finished updating you are with kernel 2.6.32.15 #1. how can you go to #2 which reportedly has significantly better battery life?
[Droid Incredible General] cosmicjoke:
hey all, i'm new to all this, and if it's no bother, would like to shoot ya a few questions...what are the particular advantages of using cyanogen mod over skyraider? i'm asking more for a friend who i'm about to turn on to it all (am very happy w/ skyraider myself). also, when i upgraded i used dinc_ota.zip, unrevoked3, and my rom. is there still any advantage for me to use unrevoked forever, possibly for future updates? having done what i have, can i still use unrevoked forever? or would i have to downgrade back first?

edit: ehh, i ran unrevoked forever. am S-Off. still curious though, if anyone could layout what advantages, differences, and bugs cyanogen and skyraider have at this point.
[Droid Incredible General] dadicus:
Connection here is sketchy on vacation. I will update the guide when I get back. For now the simple instructions are that you download the kernel update which should be in the form of a zip. Just put it on your sdcard and treat it as rom update and follow the section 4B without the wipe/factory reset.

[Droid Incredible General] Deacon51:
Thanks for this guide. I have been all over the net getting all this information together for myself, It was nice to find a one-stop-shop, and gave me the confidence to do the deed and stop waiting for the OTA.

Everything worked, no issues, no errors, no confusion.

One question, now that I'm rooted and running Cyanogen 6, how do I get Flash to work? I downloaded the official Flash App from the market, but it didn't work in Dolphin or default browsers.

Thanks
[Droid Incredible General] dadicus:
It should be showing a down arrow in place of the flash. Just click the arrow.

[Droid Incredible General] cnlwatkins:
Hey nice Job on the tutorial. Just a couple questions. After all is aid and done should I remove the unrevoked forever zip and the skyraider zip from my SD card or keep it there. Also how do u update sky raider to the newest one. Thanks.
[Droid Incredible General] dadicus:
Its ok to leave them there if you want to. Just don't leave the radio update on the card. To get the latest Skyraider just download it from rom manager.

Sent from my Incredible.
[Droid Incredible General] cnlwatkins:
Do I have to wipe all the data. And what about flashing do I need to do that as well
[Droid Incredible General] dadicus:
Flashing is updating. In this case it is updating your rom so yes you will need to flash. If you are already on a skyraider rom you shouldn't need to do a wipe. If you are coming from any other rom you need to do a wipe.

Sent from my Incredible.
[Droid Incredible General] cnlwatkins:
If I updated to the skyraider 3.0, can I revert back to 2.5.2 if I wanted ?
[Droid Incredible General] dadicus:
Just make a nandroid backup then try out 3.0 or 3.2. If you don't like it just restore your backup.

Upgrade Radio Only

I ran the radio upgrade but it still said I was at 1.0..... I installed Froyo and aside from the video camera seems ok so far. What would be my easiest way to get the new radio installed? The guide said don't install the file twice or you'll brick the phone. Any suggestions?
[Droid Incredible General] dadicus:
If your radio still says 1.0 then you never installed it. Redownload it and place it on you sdcard that has been formatted to fat32 and go into HBOOT, not recovery. Just follow the instructions on section 3 exactly and you should be fine.

I follow the steps to upgrade the radio (once) and the radio didn't change, the radio I have is the 2.05.00.06.11, any thoughts.

Shughes unless you wanna brick your phone you better listen, don't do this process more that once, at least not with the same file I think.

[Droid Incredible General] Ed Zachary:
I may get flamed for this, but what the heck, we're here to learn and share information aren't we?

What I want to do is root my DINC, get S-OFF, and that's it. I want to keep running the stock ROM, just have my phone so any OTA updates don't put the handcuffs on it.

I really have two reasons for wanting to leave the phone as stock as possible:

1 - I have no problems with the look and feel of Sense and don't have time at present to do more than root and turn s off.

2 - I want to root the Boss Lady's DINC, as well. She will agree ONLY if she can't see any difference in it.

So, what steps do I follow to just root, turn s-off, and leave the phone pretty much bone stock?

And, many thanks to the Devs, tweakers, and tutors who have put so much time into such a useful set of tools!
[Droid Incredible General] dadicus:
Just follow sections one and two.

[Droid Incredible General] Codegk:
I need confirmation please.

Okay my eyes are blurry from reading the forums and my 2 year-old doesn't allow more than 5 mins to focus on anything. lol

If I wish to root and still receive the official OTA, but maintain root, and stock rom. I would complete section 1 and 2 of this guide correct?

Please confirm or point me in the right direction. I am trying to piece all this together so I get to the operational state I want.

Thank you all ahead of time.

Edit: i reread the last post and I think he is talking about the same thing. So thank you. Confirmation is still welcome. I am always nervous about killing my phone.
[Droid Incredible General] dadicus:
You won't kill your phone by rooting. Go for it. Honestly I wools go with a custom rom. They have a lot of nice tweaking in them.

[Droid Incredible General] Solomente:
Dadicus,

First off, THANK YOU for this guide. I have flashed ROMs at least 50 times on my old WinMo phone (Touch Diamond) but was basically scared sh*tless to do it on my Incredible. Probably because I REALLY love this phone and don't want to mess it up. Anyway, I just went through these steps and wanted to clarify some things in your instructions. Either I did something wrong or there are a few missing notes in the guide. See below:

Section 1, step 7: After fixing the hboot driver, my phone rebooted only 1 time and went to a black screen with 6 or 7 options in green text. The first one was reboot, but there were other options like run update.zip and others I forget. I couldn't figure out what to do and eventually I just pressed the "enter" button (center of optical trackball thing) since the reboot option was already selected by default. At THAT point, the phone reboots and you can proceed to step 8. I'm sure that's minor, but for noobs like me, I was basically terrified at this point.

Section 1, step 8: Very minor but you need to select disc DRIVE, not disc STORAGE for the USB connection

Section 1, step 15: With the phone still plugged in to the computer, the SD card is not mounted, so you have to unplug the phone before executing this step. None of the steps prior actually indicate that you should unplug the phone from the USB cable.

Section 2, step 5: It says to reboot the phone but when you're done installing unrevoked-forever.zip, you don't get an option to reboot. You get an option to run update.zip and so forth. You need to press the power button on the phone, which takes you back to the normal green text menu, then you can use the optical trackball button to select reboot.

I'm sure these are obvious to most people but when you're already nervous about what you're doing, these little things can quickly cause panic.

Once again, thanks for the guide and helping another noob root his phone!
[Droid Incredible General] Iamshakes:
It as my understanding that in order to receive the OTA you need to remove the root access (not s-off) but use this here: Cannot link so search for this thread

[Recovery] Stock 2.1 Recovery Image for DI by adrynalyne

Otherwise you won't get the OTA because you don't have stock recovery.
[Droid Incredible General] Solomente:
Maybe a dumb question but do we have to download the file from the referenced thread or can we just run update.zip off the phone? Also, will this erase all my data or work like an OTA update?

Edit for clarification:

I was running a bone stock 2.1 Incredible, but wanted to get S-OFF, then the Froyo OTA. I executed sections 1 and 2 of this guide. Now to get the OTA I have to run the PB31IMG.zip, unrooting the phone and wiping all my data? And with the phone unrooted am I correct in assuming Titanium Backup doesn't work so I can't restore my backup? Is there any way to do this without wiping the data? I don't care about root since I now have S-OFF. Also, in the various posts I'm finding two versions of the PB31IMG.zip... one is 140mb and the other is 3mb????
[Droid Incredible General] dadicus:
Ah, very nice catches, I will update the sections. Thank you very much.
[Droid Incredible General] Ed Zachary:
Okay, the Boss Lady is in a panic about what to do with the OTA "offer".

I was planning to root our DINCs tomorrow night. But she started getting the "offer" on her phone this morning. Options are: Install Now, Install Later, or Close.

Instead of selecting one, she is using the Back arrow to go back to home.

But she is concerned that if she keeps doing that (she has to every time she wakes the phone) she will inadvertently hit Install Now or maybe it will install anyway.

I'm concerned about how the nag screen will affect rooting her phone (TONIGHT!).

She knows she doesn't want to tap Install Now.

What happens if she taps Install Later or just Close?

Thanks!

Update:

Got home and ran sections 1 and 2 for my DINC. Piece o' cake. In fact, when I got to the "waiting for bootloader..." step, before I could get to the website to download the driver, it had auto-installed and the phone had rebooted and continued the process.

Followed up by doing the same with the Boss Lady's phone.

She is still getting the "offer" for the OTA.

She's going to go ahead and install it next time it pops up.

Update to the update:

Next time she was "offered" the OTA update, she tapped Install Now.

Phone rebooted and went to a black screen with a 3D icon of a folder with a triangle containing an exclamation mark. Stayed that way for a few minutes.

I figured it is a big download, so I waited a half hour.

No change to the screen and the back of the phone was cool as a cucumber. I figured there was really nothing going on since the battery was not getting warm

Tried Volume Up: Nothing

Tried Power: Got a log from Clockwork showing it had tried an update and had failed.

Rebooted. Phone is still good to go: rooted, s-off, but no Froyo.

And no more "offers" to install the OTA.

I downloaded the update.zip (~95MB) and will install on both phones later.
[Droid Incredible General] dcharag:
Great guide

Complete n00b when it comes to rooting, found your guide and followed it to a T with great success (loaded cyanogen, so I can't attest to 4b).

Anyway, I thought I'd mention that your section on returning to stock for RMA worked perfectly as well. I followed it, downgraded everything and still retained S-OFF. Then I extracted rom.zip from the leaked RUU and ouila... worked like a champ and still have S-OFF.
[Droid Incredible General] dadicus:
Updated the guide pretty extensively. I am still working on the downgrade section as some of it did not work for me. I will likely not have an update for that section till some time next week.

The section on install the Amon_RA recovery has been completed, it is a very nice recovery, so those looking to try it out should do so.

I also finished the section on installing a custom Splash, so enjoy.

I won't be able to answer many questions starting this Thursday through Sunday probably as I will be on the Range with The Marine Corps. OORAH!! Will be my first time shooting with the ACOG, always shot open sites up until the day I left active duty years ago. Should be quite fun, wish me luck!

I followed this guide word for word and successfully installed ShadowROM 0.0.1 I didn't really like it so I followed the instructions on how to go back to the stock rom. After doing some research I decided to try out SkyRaider so I went and redid the guide. Now I keep getting "Installation Failed" when trying to install SkyRaider. Any ideas?
