I'm looking to update my Inc. to 2.2 but the ROMs suggest upgrading to radio 2.x. I'm pretty new to this and a little confused by the instructions.

The instructions I'm following are these

I'm actually lost right away with making sure the FS is Fat32, what is the FS and how do I check this

After that I assume I'm rebooting in Bootloader, is there a difference between that and bootin in recovery?

I guess I'm just looking for a walkthrough in lay mans terms.
[Droid Incredible General] htc_woe_is_me:
Maybe format size? When you hook the drive up to the pc, go to my computer, locate the sd card, right click and then format. It gives you an option to format in FAT32, make sure its checked. Then format.

Place the PB31IMG.zip at the root of the sd card.

Go into bootloader and the file will be checked by the phone then ask you if you want to update. Yes.

Reboot.

Enjoy.

[Droid Incredible General] mattxander12:
FS == File System. htc_woe_is_me is spot on with what to do.

I believe if you're going to use the 2.15x radio ... you need to make sure you are S-Off using hte Unr3voked Forever tool.

If you're using the 2.05x radio, you should be fine without going S-Off
[Droid Incredible General] qmartman711:
Okay, lets start with the basics. Fs is file system. There are different types of file systems. Fat32 and ntfs are common. You format your SD card as fat32, cause that is what's best for your phone. The SD card that came with your phone should be good to go. Before you follow these instructions you must be sure to accompolish a few things.

1)First you must be rooted. Unrevoked has the one stop root tool.

2)Next you must perform the unrevoked forever tool. This tool will grant you nand access allowing your radio to be updated..

have you performed these steps?

I Dont want to flood you with instructions if you aren't fully ready yet :)
[Droid Incredible General] jaredkent:
Yes both those steps have been completed.
[Droid Incredible General] jaredkent:
I'm on a mac, it says the format of my SD Card is "MS-DOS - Fat16" no sign of how to change it though
[Droid Incredible General] DracoDan:
Macs are for people that just "want things to work*". If you wish to tinker (ie. learn and have fun), get a PC.

If you REALLY want to get into tinkering/hacking**/learning, skip windows and go straight to Linux. It won't be easy, but you will learn skills that are incredibly valuable***.

* - By that, I mean people that want their computers to hold their hand and think for them.

** - Search for computer hacking on wikipedia before you make any bad assumptions (sorry, I still can't post links).

*** - Why yes, I am a well paid Linux admin with incredible job security, why do you ask? :D
[Droid Incredible General] Berzerker7:
That was the stupidest post I've ever read in my entire life. You're paid too much whatever you do.
[Droid Incredible General] qmartman711:
I think you can format it thru disk utility. My mac knowledge is very little though, try Googling it?
[Droid Incredible General] IridiumDude:
qmmartman711 was correct: Go to your utilities folder and open the Disk Utility app. Click on the disk that you want to reformat (it will appear in the left pane). In the right pane there will be options (First Aid, Erase, RAID, Restore). Click on the Erase tab/button. From there you'll see an Entry near the middle of the window that says 'Format' with a drop down list. If it already says MS-DOS(FAT) you're in good shape. Fill in the name you want the volume to have and press Erase.

BTW: In response to an earlier quote about Mac/PC/Linux. Macs are at their core BSD/Unix you can drop down to a shell any time and do whatever you want.
[Droid Incredible General] jaredkent:
So I formatted it to FAT32 and placed the file in the root of my sd card, the problem is when I run bootloader it doesn't automatically do anything. Both the directions I'm following and the guys in this post say it should automatically open the file but thats not happening.

Any thoughts?
[Droid Incredible General] jaredkent:
any ideas?
[Droid Incredible General] Kipphh:
I agree for the most part I build PC's and only recommend them because It brings in money. I personally use a Mac. I agree that PC's give you more bottom level access but 90 percent of what you can do on a PC you can do with MAC. Dont hate on us MAC users!
[Droid Incredible General] Berzerker7:
It's not the fact that he hated on Mac users, it's just the specifics of what he wrote. But we digress.
[Droid Incredible General] themaker00:
Once you get onto the boot loader (get to boot loader by simultaneously pressing the power and volume up button) and wait a little bit it should ask for confirmation to update phone. Just press volume up button to confirm and there you sucesfully updated your phone.
[Droid Incredible General] jaredkent:
I just realized that my phone is no long reading my SD Card, I think after reformatting it, it started with the problems. That might be why it's not picking up the update.

Not I can't put anything on my SD Card when I plug it into my computer, I get a Mac error code -8003. Looks like I ruined my SD Card? Guess I'll pick up a new one, load my back up onto it and just go back to stock.
[Droid Incredible General] qmartman711:
Why don't you format the card from your phone? That way it will definitely be recognizeable.
[Droid Incredible General] jaredkent:
That didn't even cross my mind. That worked as easily as you'd expect. I think I'll be restoring it to stock, since I can't figure out the radio thing. With SkyRaider 2.5.2 I tend to have times when 3G just doesn't work at all, and my internet is dead. I'm going to assume that has something to do with the radio upgrade. So I'll just downgrade back to 2.1 and wait it out.

Thanks for all the help guys.
[Droid Incredible General] qmartman711:
Sorry you had to revert back to stock. Some people claim their radio updates give them better service. Some say less Service... Haha, I have the same service. But anyway, let me know if you wanna try again, skyraider and cm6 are awesome roms, and I'd hate for you to miss out!
[Droid Incredible General] LifTeD_JK:
I found a couple great YouTube videos that helped me if you still want to try it. I just rooted for the first time yesterday and I'm loving it.

It won't let me post the link cause I'm new but just search for incredible ota.

There is more to it than just getting into recovery. This guy walks you through it. If you are already rooted there's another file you have to do first PB something.
[Droid Incredible Themes and Apps] bradm23:
Where can I find these audio files? I miss the light wake up. Thanks
[Droid Incredible Themes and Apps] invisiblek:
grab the rom you want the sound from, open it up and pull out the files you want (they are in system/media/audio/...) and put them in /sdcard/media/audio/... (use the same folders obviously)
[Droid Incredible Themes and Apps] bradm23:
Does this need to be done by loading each rom, or is there any way to extract them from my PC and put in SD folder and move to system wih astro? I cant seem to figure it out
[Droid Incredible Themes and Apps] bradm23:
Can someon please explain the steps in extracting the audio files, for some reason I cannot get them from my nandroid backup, and I've tried un zipping a rom, and could not find them their either. Sorry for the noob question, thanks in advance
[Droid Incredible Themes and Apps] bradm23:
What do you mean open it up? As in loading the rom to the phone or looking at system files?
[Droid Incredible Themes and Apps] invisiblek:
open it up like a zip file with winrar or windows own build in zip abilities
[Droid Incredible Themes and Apps] bradm23:
Thanks! I will try this when I get home, also do you know where I can find the stock 2.1 inc rom? Thanks

I tried downloading this, unzipping it to a certain folder (with windows and WinRAR), I open the new folder (2010-06-27.17.58.31), then there are 7 .IMG files in them. I get the same thing when I though it would be as easy as opening up a nandroid backup and getting the files from there.

Can someone fill me in on what step im missing? Thanks!

Im wondering if people are having this problem with the stock / sense Email app.

I am running CM6 RC3, and I have my corporate / exchange email setup. I noticed that when I forward an email, the person that i send it to cannot read the email from their phone. It appears to forward as a .eml. I constantly get replies saying "I can't read the attachment, can you resend?"

I tried forwarding from my exchange account to my gmail account, and the email comes through with no content in the body, and an unnamed attachment that I can read with a text editor, but it appears to also have the entire message header.

The email app has been working great but I cannot forward as an inline message.

The only workaround I've been able to come up with is to click Reply, take out the original sender, and type in the name of the person I wish to send to.

Gmail forwards just fine which is interesting.

Is there any way to force Email.apk to forward as online rather than an attachment?

Do the Eng build part and flash ChiefzReloaded's rooted OTA(latest update) rom. It includes the latest radio and it's the latest rooted stock rom. So not only you get your stock rom, you get updated to the latest radio. You can find it in the development section. Hope it helps.

Not sure whether you're looking to use the Hulu app or the browser but I have the app working fine on Fresh. Just look for Ava's ROM thread, the app and the modified flash are there.

Hello guys,

As I’m a new user, the system doesn’t allow me to post email links, so I had to change the at symbol to a an split the address. Sorry.

I’m having some trouble in setting my google accounts on my X10.

My primary email address is xxx a mydomain. com that is hosted by gmail. My Youtube account is xxx a gmail. com.

Once I’ve configured the Android to use xxx a mydomain. com it keeps asking me to enter the password for that account in the youtube app. The problem is that xxx a mydomain. com doesn’t have a channel on Youtube.

Is there a way to link these accounts or any other workaround?

Thanks,

Alvaro.

[Droid 2 General] bahill:
First, hello. First post, I'm an HTC Incredible owner (root, s-off, SkyRaider 2.2 ROM), and my wife just got a Droid2.

I'm stumped on trying to get her Google calendar to show up on her Droid2.

Accounts shows her Google account and when I tap it, it shows options for synch of email and contacts, but there is no entry for calendar like there is on my Incredible.

When I go to the option to add an account, there is no option to add a calendar to synch (not that I expected one).

So, basically, she has a useless calendar app, you can't even add entries, because it wants something to synch with first.

What am I missing?
[Droid 2 General] karnovaran:
That's strange. Sync Calendar is there on my Droid 2 and works fine. Has she set up her calendar through Gmail online yet? Might need to do that first.
[Droid 2 General] bahill:
Yeah, I thought that might be it, you're right, it is a new account.

I set up her calendar through Gmail on line and added one event about an hour ago.

Maybe I should just give it some time...or, maybe I need to delete her Google account on the phone and re-add it?
[Droid 2 General] karnovaran:
Yeah I would delete and re-add the account.
[Droid 2 General] bahill:
Yup, that did it...of course, I had to go through a full factory reset to delete that account, but after a bit of setup all over again, she's in business. Thx. :)
