what am I doing wrong?

I followed directions step by step and I get it all done correct, but when it comes to loading the image off of the SDcard onto the phone in HBoot, I get error message "no image or wrong image"

HELP PLEASE!!!
[Droid Incredible Android Development] TNS201:
IS your SD card formatted to Fat 32
[Droid Incredible Android Development] zeiroe:
On your sdcard, Rename the PC31IMG.zip file to PB31IMG.zip and try the hboot again
[Droid Incredible Android Development] androidsteve:
Ok everything is all good again. Thank you.. I'm rockin skyraider now....
[Droid Incredible Android Development] zeiroe:
See told you just to sit tight ;) ... Just had to bear with 1 weekend of stock lameness :p
[Droid Incredible Android Development] VGP:
My phone is booting up....stock 2.1 here I come! Thanks for posting! next up Unrevoked-Forever!
[Droid Incredible Android Development] bokajay@gmail.com:
Can anyone test doing the same approach with the RUU (2.1 -> 1.5) for the Droid Eris ?? This could be the work-a-around needed for people who did the OTA and never turned S-off.
[Droid Incredible Android Development] ACD168:
This is great, so now if you get a refurb and it comes with 2.2 you can use this to go back and s-off and root. of coarse until unrevoked comes out with updated methods
[Droid Incredible Android Development] VGP:
OK and im done! Rebooted and setup phone! I got everything I wanted and now its time to redownload my apps. Again great job guys....much appreciated!
[Droid Incredible Android Development] sdsurferbob:
in adb shell after running the .bin, it dumps back to windows prompt, i log back into adb shell, but still get the $ instead of the #. driver issue? can i proceed anyway?
[Droid Incredible Android Development] pules:
stupid me.....that was it! I wasn't formatting my SD card as Fat 32....I was just formatting it as FAT

thank you very much for the guide and for catching the File format....

I'm a happy camper again :)
[Droid Incredible Android Development] pules:
that happened to me again...try the whole commend line sequence all over again. You'll get it.
[Droid Incredible Android Development] sdsurferbob:
Ok, thanks, ill run it again
[Droid Incredible Android Development] eng3:
I ran through the whole process and it applied the update. after that, it rebooted and had the black screen with the down arrow with arrows circling around it for a while, then it went to the FASTBOOT screen. now everytime I reboot it just goes to that screen.
[Droid Incredible Android Development] sdsurferbob:
thanks, that worked. re-ran the commands and got the #
[Droid Incredible Android Development] sdsurferbob:
alright, back to stock! thanks for the guide, and your work putting it together. using the 2.2 RUU left me with no sound from the internal speaker, now I'm back in business!
[Droid Incredible Android Development] androidsteve:
Use mybackup pro it works great. If you restore your apps while having root, it installs them all at once automatically.. Couldn't live without it.

Sent from my ADR6300
[Droid Incredible Android Development] VGP:
So after trying to add the update it now goes stright to HBOOT correct? Trying the reboot and battery pull just takes you back....that happened to me, so I just unplugged it and ran the update myself and everything worked fine, but it did scare me at first!

Cool, imma try that....thanks for the info!
[Droid Incredible Android Development] androidsteve:
Sent from my ADR6300

No problem. Its a paid app, but well worth it. You can use it if you get a replacement our a different android phone too.. The free version has limited functions..(no good)
[Droid Incredible Android Development] Contempt4You:
Thanks. Worked great on my son's phone. He got a little jumpy and ran the RUU thus negating all the cool things my rooting had done for him.

Just needs a little cleanup as far as the typos.

Again, thank you.

Stuck in bootloader

Having a heck of a time with this. Did everything correctly (no errors) and when I rebooted after the last step, it shows the HTC Incredible bootscreen, then straight to bootloader.

No matter what I do, it always reboots into bootloader.

Starting to sweat a little. Not sure where to go from here. :(

My AIM is aronax666

Any help is greatly appreciated.
[Droid Incredible Android Development] VGP:
So you stopped at trying to install 2.1? It gave me the same problem...I restarted and battey pulled and it kept taking me back to HBOOT, so panic as well. I unplugged the phone from the USB and ran the file manually and bam it started to install and when done It booted up as normal, so try that!
[Droid Incredible Android Development] smwoodward:
Also check to make sure your SD card is formatted FAT32 otherwise HBOOT will not see PB31IMG.zip.
[Droid Incredible Android Development] pules:


This is very important. Double check to make sure your sdcard is fat32
[Droid Incredible Android Development] dadajack:
AMAZING!

Man, I can't begin to express the awe I have with you code monkeys. (I assume that is not offensive :confused:) Anyway, this is the most awesome piece of work to date. I was sick that I did not run unrevoked-forever. You gave my Dinc another chance at happiness. A thousand thanks.
[Droid Incredible Android Development] JerseyFF:
Note on formatting for the SD Card....the "Quick Format" option will not work! You MUST do a full format on the SD Card. Between doing a full format and renaming the file to "PC31IMG.zip" while on the card and then renaming it back to "PB31IMG.zip".....the image is now loading for me!!! :D Got jammed up before these two steps, did them both at the same time so not sure which was the perfect magic.
[Droid Incredible Android Development] Sjflowerhorn:
chalk me down as successful as well. going to root now and load up skyraider, then probably reactivate my droid1 and give this to my girl. shell love it.
[Droid Incredible Android Development] Sjflowerhorn:
both are extremely necessary steps lol the file should be named properly or else the bootloader will not see it. and if it is not fat32 the bootloader will not perform the way it is supposed to.
[Droid Incredible Android Development] captainm27:
I get the following message when pushing the mtd0.img

failed to copy 'mtd0.img' to '/sdcard': Is a directory

Anyone know what that means?
[Droid Incredible Android Development] blight007:
I go to the command window and change directories to the one below.

cd C:\android-sdk-windows\tools

Once ready, type these commands in cmd prompt from your adb tools directory. After every line press enter.

Where do I type these commands? In the command window or do I have to open sdk???

Code:

adb push unrevoked-forever.zip /sdcard/

adb push flash_image /data/local/

adb push rageagainstthecage-arm5.bin /data/local/tmp/

adb push mtd0.img /sdcard/

adb push PC31IMG.zip /sdcard/
[Droid Incredible Android Development] blight007:
should the adb shell automaticlly open?
[Droid Incredible Android Development] smwoodward:
You type the commands into the dos prompt.
[Droid Incredible Android Development] blight007:
It keeps telling me file not found.

1. fat32 formatted

2. debugging on

3. charge only

killing me....worked on this for 12 hours...no luck...what am i missing...thing i have a driver problem
[Droid Incredible Android Development] smwoodward:
What is telling you file not found, when you are typing the commands or hboot?
[Droid Incredible Android Development] Contempt4You:
There are typos in the instructions that conflict.

Make sure the file is named PB31IMG.zip and the commmand you are typing in is the same.

adb push PB31IMG.zip /sdcard/

Change the C to a B and you are golden.

The OP really should fix this in the original post.
[Droid Incredible Android Development] redlancers34:
I have a htc incredible with 2.2 update.zip

it is not rooted. will this guide still work with my phone? I just didn't think it would work since theres a evo root file
[Droid Incredible Android Development] blight007:
In command prompt (windows xp service pack 3) i type cd C:\android-sdk-windows\tools

Then I type (in this menu cd C:\android-sdk-windows\tools): adb push unrevoked-forever.zip /sdcard/ then i hit enter and I get this

*daemon not running. Start it now*

*daemon started successfully*

cannot stat 'unrevoked-forever.zip': no such file or directory
[Droid Incredible Android Development] captainm27:
What happens if I'm getting the # sign instead of the $ ? Does that make a difference?
[Droid Incredible Android Development] smwoodward:
yes, just don't use any of the files from the evo-root.zip except the rageagainstthecage-arm5.bin file, the other two files from revert.zip is what you need to use.

either unrevoked-forever.zip is not in c:\android-sdk-windows/tools, or it's misspelled. you can actually skip doing the adb push of this file, and remove the sd card from your phone and manually copy it over. I put it with these instructions as adb push because we are already pushing other types of files over to the phone and sd card.

if you are getting the # after running these commands

cd /data/local/tmp

./rageagainstthecage-arm5.bin

then you are golden, that is exactly what you are suppose to have, now go and run these commands.

cd /data/local
./flash_image misc /sdcard/mtd0.img
reboot bootloader

then you can have hboot load the PB31IMG.zip to reflash to 2.1.
[Droid Incredible Android Development] captainm27:
Actually, I'm getting the # sign when on your instructions, when doing the chmod, you state that a $ sign should be. That's where I'm getting the # sign, in the adb shell. Can I still continue with the process?
[Droid Incredible Android Development] srt4mn:
Does anyone have the files needed for the downgrade? I found the SDK files, but not the 2.1 files for the downgrade.

NM, I'm a retard.
[Droid Incredible Android Development] smwoodward:
You should be good to go then, but I do wonder why you able to get the # symbol if you are not already rooted. I am not 100% that the # means you are rooted, but I do question if you are running the 100% stock OTA or RUU with s-on in hboot and no root access.

I would go ahead and proceed as all these instructions do is allow hboot to look like a older version so that hboot will install a pb31img.zip that has a older version than what is currently running.
[Droid Incredible Android Development] captainm27:
wow!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

thank you so much!!!!! I am back to 2.1 !!!!!!!!!!!
[Droid Incredible Android Development] egobuster1:
there was another post on here that i tried that had me do the same exact steps and it never worked when it would get to the part where u load the pb311.zip file it would always says the main version is older or w.e and not load it
[Droid Incredible Android Development] Krimso:
running into a problem doin this part dont think it supposed to tell me permission denied....

$ chmond 0755 /data/local/tmp/rageagainstthecage-arm5.bin

chmond 0755 /data/local/tmp/rageagainstthecage-arm5.bin

chmond: permission denied

[Droid Incredible Android Development] ion-ión:
Hey guys. I got the EVO from their store. How can I downgrade it from Android 2.2 to 2.1?. What steps do I need?. This is the original OTA 2.2 August 31st update.

This are the specs of the software information.

Android version

2.2

Baseband version

2.15.00.07.28

Software number

3.26.651.6

PRI version

1.40_003

PRL Version

60670

Thanks in advance.
[Droid Incredible Android Development] lioryte:
Confirmed working on my DINC thank you much
[Droid Incredible Android Development] ion-ión:
Has anyone tried this method for this version? 3.26.651.6
[Droid Incredible Android Development] ion-ión:
Can you help me how did you go back to 2.1? I am using the 3.26.651.6 update.

Thanks in advance
[Droid Incredible Android Development] ACD168:
For anyone wondering, the new release of the unrevoked now allows of 2.2 to be rooted, so this is now not necessary, great work though OP!
[Droid Incredible Android Development] Curtai:
so hopefully...

How do you save all your numbers? In Windows it was just a file u can copy n replace after flashing... a la omnia I910...

Im just leery of flashing my phone and losing everything I have on it... but since I am trying to use Linux now pda net doesn't work on it... wow I feel like a noob any starters guide for Android/Linux?
[Droid Incredible Android Development] tswtech2:
No ideas??
[Droid Incredible Android Development] smwoodward:
Hmmm.... what does it say when you type adb shell again?

I'm not sure, but this method has only been tested on amoled screens, if you have the slcd it might not work.
[Droid Incredible Android Development] tswtech2:
It just says no device found then if I reboot to regain adb, it says permission denied with the $ when I try to enter those last two lines of code. And like I said before, the unrevoked just halts at the " waiting for root " message. How can I tell what screen I have?
[Droid Incredible Android Development] smwoodward:
How old is your incredible? I'm not sure how to tell. You might be able to search the forums for that answer.
[Droid Incredible Android Development] tswtech2:
Don't know how old. It is one I am flashing to cricket so root is a must. Will search forum some more though. Thanks for the info. Since the unrevoked is not working on this incredible but it does work on the 2. 2 evos I do, I am pretty sure it is a slcd.
[Droid Incredible Android Development] RegnierD:
If you still have the box, there is a number somewhere on the labels that has either W2 or W3 on it. W2 is AMOLED, W3 is SLCD.
[Droid Incredible Android Development] tswtech2:
Ok thanks. Would this info be in the phone or on the label under the battery? I do not have the box?
[Droid Incredible Android Development] RegnierD:
I think it's on the box, but checking the phone labels inside it might yield results too. Lemme check too, just to be sure, as I know I've got an AMOLED DInc.

Edit: So I didn't find any info from under the battery, but I did find this on my hboot screen...

Touch Panel-ATMEL224_16ab

Maybe this is the indicator for AMOLED?
[Droid Incredible Android Development] smwoodward:
Go to settings, about phone, then hardware information, then hardware version. If it is 0002 its amoled, if its 0003 its slcd
[Droid Incredible Android Development] tswtech2:
And just to make sure I understand, if it is slcd I am pretty much screwed then because I will not be able to downgrade? Not yet anyway
[Droid Incredible Android Development] tswtech2:
Will cross my fingers and check my hboot tomorrow but, since neither methods are working I am pretty sure it is slcd.
[Droid Incredible Android Development] smwoodward:
I really don't know. I would need one other person with the SLCD incredible to tell me it fails at the same point as yours, so I really don't know
[Droid Incredible Android Development] tswtech2:
Yeah I wish I had another one to test this on so I could verify this
[Droid Incredible Android Development] leoiden:
ota update patched rooting
[Droid Incredible Android Development] tswtech2:
Just checked my hboot screen and I have the same same atmelc03_16ac.

So now that I believe that I have the amole seen I am really stumped.
[Droid Incredible Android Development] tswtech2:
Time to get back on the search button
[Droid Incredible Android Development] tswtech2:
Oh my mistake. It is different from what you posted for yours. Needbto check hardware info like other poster suggested.
[Droid Incredible Android Development] tswtech2:
Sorry. I totally missed the post about this having nothing to do with my screen type
[Droid Incredible Android Development] tswtech2:
Ok news flash. I have 002 hardware so now I have no clue why this is not working. I have done many incredible before but this one is breaking my spirit.
[Droid Incredible Android Development] tswtech2:
this issue the killer issue i am suffering from as well.
[Droid Incredible Android Development] tswtech2:
i have rerun the process 5 times and still get the $. this is driving me crazy!!! sdsurfer. what size memory card are you using? i am using a 8gb. i am having the same issue as you so i figured i would compare methods
[Droid Incredible Android Development] tswtech2:
still no adb

ok i hard reset phone, installed and uninstalled htc sync 2.0.40, and reran process. still the same results though. phone will not re-enter adb shell after it kicks me out. this sucks. i have 002 hardware on 2.2 ota update
[Droid Incredible Android Development] crazylui:
Can't get pass exec rage

So i'm trying the steps. I recently had the OTA from Nov 11. I get up to running rageagainstthecage and soon after adb quits as expected. But after stopping and restarting adb server, i can't see my phone in adb. I have to reboot my phone in order to get adb to see it. I've tried this in Linux, Mac & and windows with the same results. I also made sure card is formatted in fat 32. Does anyone have any ideas what is going on?

Thanks.
[Droid Incredible Android Development] leoiden:
The update patched the rooting process

So we are stuck until unrevoked team gives us an update

My guess is that the bootloader is newer and you cannot downgrade
[Droid Incredible Android Development] tswtech2:
Nooooooo!!!!! Everyday I try to mess with this incredible it gets worse and worse : -(
[Droid Incredible Android Development] crazylui:
Downgrading

FYI... I had 2.2 w Nov OTA applied, s-on and no root. I just did the steps in links below and they worked. I actually didn't downgrade to 2.1 but to 2.2 pre Nov OTA and i'm s-off and root.

[Droid Incredible Android Development] danwguy:
I ran through this, and after i run the ./rageagainstthecage-arm5.img it kicks me back to cdm prompt like its supposed to, but now everytime I run adb shell it says error: device not found. I have tried rebooting the phone, rebooting the computer, turning usb debugging off then back on, I've tried everything, and it just keeps saying error: device not found. Please somebody help me out.
[Droid Incredible Android Development] JustinRawr:
I know this is SUPER old but I just did it today on my brother's incredible and it still works! Thanks!
[Droid Incredible Android Development] SlimSnoopOS:
I'm confused. Why go through all of this when you could just use Unrevoked to root froyo?
[Droid Incredible Android Development] JustinRawr:
This is just for those who updated to 2.2 without being s=off. Unrevoked just won't work so you have to downgrade to get it to work. Took a while to figure it out lol
[Droid Incredible Android Development] SlimSnoopOS:
That should have only been the case for a few months in 2010 but Unrevoked was updated to root and provide s-off for Froyo by December of 2010. That's how I rooted mine. If anything, the GB update from September 2011 will not work with Unrevoked.

Ahh well, glad this worked for you.
[Droid Incredible Android Development] tiny4579:
I used unrevoked to root on froyo as well.

[EVO 4G Themes and Apps] herbthehammer:
Thank you for the file. I'm not saying installing or flashing this file won't work. When I have tried to use the mms.apk from another rom or phone, many times I've gotten force closes for some unknown reasons. There has been a couple of times that it actually worked without problems. Another option could be is using a third party mms/sms app like handcent or chomp. I don't know if they piggy back the stock sms program to work or not. I've read they do but I don't know how truthful that statement is. Yes, alternative programs are much larger than stock, but I'm saying it just "might" work too. To anyone trying this, good luck and I hope it works out for you.

I can sent and receive a text from a person but can't receive or sent to the same person a pix via sms. I've tried , chomp, handcent with no luck. am I doing something wrong or is it blocked somewhere?

[Vibrant General] smashpunks:
I keep reading some mixed results. So questions are.

Did the lag fix work for you...

1. Yes my phone flies

2.didn't see a difference so uninstalled

3. Worked for a but got slow again so uninstalled.

4. Never had lag to begin with so haven't tried.

I finally installed one again and must say I see a difference in a few areas. One is the speedtest app, it used to take the test button like 6 seconds to pop up, now isntantly. Apps don't really open faster or anything, or browser either, but things just don't take forever to load, but will the fix do harm eventually is what I'm worried about..

1day after lag fix installed edit: OK so, the #3 started to show up, the market and speedtest app went back to normal load times ( still not bad maybe 6 seconds for market and same for speedtest) so I unistalled. Remember there's never been lag for me and since the 2 out of 3 apps I noticed it increase speeds in started going back to normal, I am fine with my gig back......

100 apps with 1.3 gb left... woohoo
[Vibrant General] lqaddict:
I was going back and forth with different iterations of RayanZA's lag fix, and really do not see a noticeable difference once I reverted back to the original (tried one with ext4 support and it bombed on me, glad I had the nandroid backup done before I applied the lag fix).

Which version do you have?

EXT2 can be easily corrupted if it is uncleanly unmounted - during the phone crash, battery pull, etc. - I haven't seen the reports here that it is corrupted beyond the repair, but there were reports when people were running fsck on the ext2 partitions and there were errors.

EXT3/4 is a better choice, but again people are afraid that in the long run it will wear your internal sdcard beyond repair, since it is I/O heavy - well, I am not keeping this phone for more than 3 years, so I'd care less.

I do think Samsung went the lazy way with FAT32 variant, but I guess it was for the ease of use - you connect your phone to a windows PC, and there you have it as a flash drive.
[Vibrant General] smashpunks:
