I actually had to go back into HBOOT 3 times just to flash the initial zip. It had to update the bootloader twice with quick restarts for some reason, but then it continued the update fine after that. Scared me a little bit.

Question

I asked this in another thread, but this one seems to be a much more appropriate place to ask ... for those of us with SOFF but otherwise stock, is there a reason to go through the extraction/etc steps ... what is the downside of just running the RUU?
[Droid Incredible Android Development] TNS201:
The RUU might not work, think some people tried and it didn't work. If you browse through the other post, you might be able to find someone who posted a link to download the rom.zip, but its really not that hard to do.
[Droid Incredible Android Development] jdmba:
Nandroid Restore?

Thanks ... one more question.

If I try this, and hate it (or it turns out to be super buggy), can I restore a nandroid backup of my current setup (Radio 1.00.3.xxxx; HBOOT .77; Stock 2.1-Update) or will some of that not restore.

Thanks!
[Droid Incredible Android Development] ChuckG73:
Can someone just provide Rom.zip I am running RUU and it is sayong that it can ot find my phone......
[Droid Incredible Android Development] TNS201:
Nandroid will NOT restore radio or hboot.

Your old setup should have no problem with a higher hboot or a different radio.
[Droid Incredible Android Development] JaydenR:
I don't see busy box in any of the 3 zips you posted?

You sure its installed?
[Droid Incredible Android Development] bhazard451:
The payload update pushes it I believe. I'm using titanium backup just fine to restore my apps.
[Droid Incredible Android Development] JaydenR:
Its not in the payload zip.
[Droid Incredible Android Development] TNS201:
hmm

I though it was.

I figured it out

busybox has to be in the root of the SDCARD

The payload-update.zip has instructions to install it.

run_program("/system/bin/toolbox", "dd", "if=/sdcard/busybox", "of=/system/bin/busybox");
run_program("/system/bin/toolbox", "dd", "if=/sdcard/busybox", "of=/sbin/busybox");
set_perm(0, 0, 0755, "/system/bin/busybox");
set_perm(0, 0, 0755, "/sbin/busybox");

run_program("/sbin/busybox", "--install", "/sbin/");

OP is updated to reflect this now.
[Droid Incredible Android Development] ardax:
The updater-script in payload looks like it's attempting to copy the file from /sdcard. So presumably if one put a usable busybox executable on the root of the SD card it'd get put in place.
[Droid Incredible Android Development] TNS201:
Yea I looked into that and updated the OP with updated instructions and attached busybox.
[Droid Incredible Android Development] ardax:
Would it be possible to pack busybox into the payload-update.zip and modify updater-script to use the package_extract_file function instead of running dd?

I have a modified zip ready to post, but I haven't tested it yet.

Edit: It seemed to put the right files in the right places on my phone, and it didn't puke all over itself in the process. I'm going to post it up. This bundles in busybox 1.18.0 git (from the Market's Busybox Installer App) and su 2.3.4 (from this thread), so it should remove the need to update su separately.
[Droid Incredible Android Development] Wintergon:

I did't see this post in time and I found another way (probably so have others) to get root back.

I followed the the extraction proceedure and updated to the RUU 3.21.605.1 with no issue. Then I pulled my SD card and removed the PB31IMG from the RUU, replaced with the Clockwork recovery IMG as PB31IMG. Replaced the SD card back into my phone and restarted the rom installation proceedure and presto, phone was rooted and I restored it back to Skyraider 3 with no issues. (Of course I have S-off and I have previous Clockwork backups to do my restore). Does this help? Is this a better way or have I committed some error and just got lucky?
[Droid Incredible Android Development] ardax:
This is essentially the same as steps 1-7 in the OP.

Installing ClockworkMod doesn't root the phone, it just replaces the recovery software. Restoring your SkyRaider 3 installation is what re-rooted your phone. If you would have booted up the stock OS, you'd have noticed that Superuser wasn't there if you didn't install the payload-update.zip.

Er, why did you install the OTA if you were just going to restore your SkyRaider 3 installation anyway?
[Droid Incredible Android Development] wpbear:
Followed OP and it works perfect. I then went into clockwork recovery, mounted system and from cmd prompt removed CityID. I then ran Titanium Backup from market and ran batch recovery and now my phone is Froyo, rooted and works as before! :)
[Droid Incredible Android Development] TNS201:
Why would you bother installing this if you went back to skyraider 3 lol
[Droid Incredible Android Development] pules:
How do I turn off S?

Noob question here.....

followed instructions and got FroYo installed....but my "S" is on and I can't install the clockwork to root my phone.

what can I do to turn off S and root?

thanks community.
[Droid Incredible Android Development] Phaded:
What is the command to remove apps? And do I need adb/sdk installed? Or am I good with the drivers I installed using unrevoked forever?
[Droid Incredible Android Development] gbishop18:
if you had s- on when you did this I'm pretty sure you can't install a custom recovery now and are stick without root. you had to have s- of before update.

Incredible w/sky2.5.2 sense and king kernel
[Droid Incredible Android Development] sdsmithinc:
I wanted the radio update and the new hboot. I don'think that the recovery was available until I re-pb31img with the clockwork. When I tried to flash clockwork it failed when using the flash. But photo31img restored root so I was able to go into clockwork recovery.
[Droid Incredible Android Development] androidsteve:
i think that is my problem. i installed the 2.2 leak from today and somewhere down the live i lost root. now unrevoked fails to install the custom recovery. how do i get around this to get root back/ with the recovery??? please help!!!! thank you..
[Droid Incredible Android Development] androidsteve:
sorry, what is (s) and how do you turn it off??? i think i screwed up...DAMN!!
[Droid Incredible Android Development] Xxq TZ pxX:
I just followed these directions and installed this with no problems... thanks so much for posting this!!

One question: Before I installed this, I was running the late July Froyo release. Prior to installing everything tonight, I did not do a "wipe data / factory reset" or a "wipe cache partition". Is this going to give me any problems?
[Droid Incredible Android Development] Phaded:
Ignore this. Did a search figured it out. Removed bloat.
[Droid Incredible Android Development] TNS201:
Follow this tutorial

http://unrevoked.com/rootwiki/doku.php/public/forever

If you installed this without having S-OFF, then you might be stuck without root for awhile.

I have posted a theory on a possible way to get root and S-OFF installed if you installed the leaked update without having S-OFF installed.

Wooooohhh.. Ok, thank you very much. I will try this tomorrow. I will let u know if it works.. I'll try an get it all right..
[Droid Incredible Android Development] Fahrenheit:
Great instructions...worked perfectly. Followed the instructions, and now I'm on this leak + new root. 39.989 Linpack score.
[Droid Incredible Android Development] Roastednuts:
I am experiencing some difficulty with this process. I jumped the gun and ran the RUU last night, updating my software assuming that since I had s-off I would be in good shape and rooted after the installation. Well, that's not the case.

So, I've followed your instructions to the T and have had NO SUCCESS. My forehead is beginning to hurt from hitting it on my desk! lol

Anyway, the PB31IMG.zip file, when I boot into HBOOT, nothing happens initially. After a few seconds, a quick script runs on the phone. Is this when the PB31IMG file is applied?

If by running the RUU and installing the update I have lost the ability to root for now, I am okay with that. But it's this assuming I can regain root access but being not able to that is driving me nuts!
[Droid Incredible Android Development] sdsmithinc:
I'm not the expert but I've been screwing with the HTC's for a while and no longer a noobe (not that it really matters). There are very good instructions on how to add the PB31IMG files to your phone listed in this forum. But anyway, when you go into the boot screen, assuming that you have an SD card with pb31img.zip on the root, the phone checks if the pb31img file is on the SD card (you will see some green text scrolling). If it finds the file it will ask you if you want to update. By pressing the up volume key you have committed to install the file. By pressing the down volume key will boot you out of the update. If you the scrolling green text but no queries then check the spelling of the pb31img file. You cannot use Unrevokes reflash program until they find a work around the new hboot. It will run but will not root your phone since towards the end of the process denotes that the process failed. If this works with installing the clockwork file, just reboot, power off then enter the boot screen and select recovery.
[Droid Incredible Android Development] Roastednuts:
Thanks for your response sdsmithinc., I was finally able to follow the script when it pops up and it does try to open the pb13img.zip file but says that it's either the wrong image or no image is present.

This is very frustrating because although I am not a programmer, I am normally pretty good at following instructions and troubleshooting problems like this one without having to post requests for help.

Pride is certainly a dry, difficult snack to swallow.
[Droid Incredible Android Development] TNS201:
Make sure your SD-CARD is formatted to FAT32 file structure, if its not, then copy all your stuff over to your PC, then format it to fat32 then copy stuff back over.

Yes there is a little thing that runs in hboot, when its loading the PB31IMG file you will see I think its either a red or blue bar filling up on the right side of the screen. Then you are asked to press Volume UP for install and volume down for reboot.

As long as it says S-OFF in Hboot then you are fine and will be able to get root.
[Droid Incredible Android Development] ardax:
Okay, this is only going to work if you've got S-OFF. However, if you download the PB31IMG.zip attached to the OP, put it on the root of your FAT32-formatted SD card (FAT/FAT16 will not work), and boot into HBOOT by holding down VolDn+Pwr...

It should hit hboot and sit at that first screen for a few seconds. If nothing happens after a few seconds, hit tap the volume down key. Then you'll see a series of messages go by attempting to look for various .zip files. Finally it should hit the PB31IMG.zip and you should see a very narrow vertical progress bar in the top right corner of the screen. A few seconds later it should ask you if you want to flash the image and to press Vol Up for Yes or Vol Dn for no. After selecting "Yes", it'll ask you to reboot. You're now at step 8 in the OP.
[Droid Incredible Android Development] Roastednuts:
When I do this, HBOOT looks at the file PB13IMG.zip and says it is not a valid image, or the wrong image.

I have even gone so far as to run the installation again and capture a new copy of Rom.zip.

My hboot version is 0.92.00

Radio is 2.15.00.07.28

s-off
[Droid Incredible Android Development] Wintergon:
Might want to make sure your download isn't corrupt.
[Droid Incredible Android Development] Roastednuts:
I got this to work, finally. Thanks for everyone's advice. I am not sure which person's advice helped as I eventually sat the phone down, walked away awhile, and just started over.

Sometimes that's all it takes.
[Droid Incredible Android Development] syrguy1969:
OK....I know this is a really noob-type question, but this is the first major update I have experienced and I am a bit confussed here.

In the plainest english please (LOL).....if I place the zip file on my card and follow the steps to install it am I left with an official Froyo Inc rooted (with forever S-off as well) with all my files and settings still there (like if I do the OTA) or is this unofficial, or will my phone be wiped clean.

Again, sorry to make people rehash this again, and I am willing to wait until unrevoked or somebody else developes a better/easier way, but if this is an official update and does not wipe my phone, it doesn't seem like it could get easier.

Thanks for any info!
[Droid Incredible Android Development] TNS201:
Before you do this at all.

http://unrevoked.com/recovery/

run that to give you root if you dont already have it

Then you MUST MUST MUST do this to do this if you want root and custom recovery

http://unrevoked.com/rootwiki/doku.php/public/forever
[Droid Incredible Android Development] syrguy1969:
I do have root and I did the unrevoked forever as well, so that would mean this is the OTA that I can install over my current configuration without losing data?
[Droid Incredible Android Development] TNS201:
You will lose your data, are you using 2.1 or 2.2, I believe people on a previous 2.2 leak were ok not deleting data, but making a nandroid first, then doing an advanced restore of DATA only, but you could always use titanium backup and backup apps and data, that way at least most of it will be easy to restore.
[Droid Incredible Android Development] syrguy1969:
OK...I think I see now. I am on original 2.1 now, so this is pretty much like flashing a new ROM in that it does start you out with a clean slate.

I have been reading a few threads about ROMs like Virtuous v2.0 and I am trying to decide what to do with an update. I am one of the (seemingly at least) minority that actually LIKE Sense, so I am not looking for a flashy ROM right yet, I just want the update and my old Inc back (been getting a lot of restarts lately).

Thanks for the info, I'll continue to read + learn!!

P.S. I do have both Nandroid + Titanium backups done, so I am covered there I guess!
[Droid Incredible Android Development] ardax:
Exactly.

I'd just do a full wipe (data & cache) and install Virtuous then. There's no sense futzing about installing the OTA, then reflashing Clockwork and re-rooting just to get you to where you would be if you'd just installed that. The extra touches of removing bloatware apps and making sure everything is up to date is gravy.
[Droid Incredible Android Development] syrguy1969:
Cool....thanks for the info, I will probably use Virtuous when I get a bit!
[Droid Incredible Android Development] androidsteve:
same here. i came from the eris, which you didn't need to worry about s-on/off so i didnt realize that until it was too late... live and learn right.. thank all you dev's for working hard to do what you do... we appreciate it very much..
[Droid Incredible Android Development] Herbbowlman:
My DInc has s-off. Yesterday I installed the RUU onto my phone (using the program rather than extracting the rom.zip). After installation, I confirmed that s-off is still set.

To root my DInc, I start at #5 on the instructions in the OP? Just want to be sure.

What actually roots the phone, payload-update.zip? su-2.3.2.1....zip? Both? Do I need busybox? I vaguely understand what it is, but I don't know if it's required. I'm basically rooting to play with SetCPU to see if I can squeeze more life out of the battery.
[Droid Incredible Android Development] joemega2010:

[Droid Incredible Android Development] supremex3:
If i use OP's method to install - is it just an upgrade of the built? I don't want to do a full wipe with all my apps being deleted
[Droid Incredible Android Development] jurrsaix:
Just wanted to say thanks. I have been waiting to go S-OFF and update until there was a fall back.

Followed these instructions (I downloaded the RUU from the RUU thread), and everything went smoothly. Up and running 2.2 and all its goodness.

Thanks again.

[Touch HD General] sedde:
So back in the days of the HD, i was a proud owner of one with no problems whatsoever. Then i sold it and i bought a HD2. My girlfriends phone broke 2 weeks ago, and a friend of mine had a spare HD that was only used for couple of weeks so i decided to buy it from him. Since that day all hell has broke loose.

The major problem of the phone is the reception. Most of the times you can see that you have 2-3 bars, and if someone tries to call you, he gets the This user's phone is switched off. The weird thing though, is that you get the missed call text almost immidiately. Another problem is it takes 10-15 seconds to connect to someone else, or the call drops after 30 seconds. Its a real pain in the ass, since we cant call her anymore most of the times.

So what i did was to read around about the problem and i discovered i wasnt alone. What i did was to SU the phone and flash the 1.16 xperia radio which supposedly fixed the whole thing, but to my surprise, this wasnt the case. I read the thread on the HD forum, but it was has stopped at the middle of 2009. So is there a possible solution to the problem, or should i give the phone back to my friend ? - Warranty has expired so getting it back to service is out of the plan .-

I would find it rather helpful if someone tried to help me with that, or even pinpoint the solution.

Best Regards,

Sedde

I bought a HTC desire locked to orange. I rooted it and upgraded the radio to the latest one and then flashed OpenDesire 2.6.0 only to find that I get a message asking me to enter the simlock pin.

So I bought the simlock pin. This works fine, however after a messages stating that I was succesfull nothing happens. there's a warning sim notification on the top corner of my screen but when I expand the notification bar there is no message. The phone still hasn't registered/acknowledged my sim card though (I cannot make calls etc).

Am I doing things in the wrong order?

Please help.
